If a week is a long time in politics, then surely three months is a millennium. But that is precisely how much time has passed since British voters narrowly rejected the status quo and gave the boot to the European Union. "Brexit means Brexit" is more vague than ever. Despite having a process to leave – Article 50, which even its progenitor claimed wasn't really meant to be used – the United Kingdom remains a member, with no plan for a getaway.
At home of course there have been drastic changes. The vote to leave saw the downfall of a prime minister, one who took a gamble, and lost. The true architect of the referendum, Nigel Farage, also bowed out (although he is known for his frequent returns). An already brutal civil war in the Labour Party has turned into an all-out brawl with one columnist even pleading for Tony Blair to return to the fray. With no effective opposition, the UK stands to become a curiously one-party state, with debates between the centre-right Conservative majority and its more unhinged, hard Eurosceptic far right.
Brexit? What Brexit?
The economy has been chugging along, which Brexiteers say is proof that the remain campaign lied about economic catastrophe post-Brexit. They are wrong, of course; as the UK hasn't left the EU, there are no trade barriers, not tariffs, and no change in relations to measure an actual effect.
All this turmoil and distraction at home might make Theresa May feel she has more time to hammer out Brexit. After all, no solid details about post-Brexit Britain have been released. Members of May's government have given the odd line about trading with the rest of the world, and vague "what ifs" of a positive future, but every time a sliver of a plan comes through, it is quickly shot down by Downing Street. Whispers of a plan to leave the single market, for example, were rebuffed with the typical "we are exploring all options" soundbite.
Britain is not set up for referendums
Part of this is due to the nature of the referendum itself. Britain, unlike some other democracies, doesn't hold such votes often. A democracy that has had hundreds of years of parliamentary sovereignty pounded into its history doesn't like to give too much away to the people. Places like California hold referendums on very specific terms – tax laws, for example, where a yes vote means enacting a law that has already been prepared. Brexit on the other hand was a wild card. Truthfully, there is not simple in or out for Britain. There is "soft Brexit", which could involve joining the European Economic Area, retaining freedom of movement and EU regulation, which would be a tough pill to swallow for the Eurosceptics, but might please the 48% who voted to remain. Then there is "hard Brexit", which barmy advocates say should be triggered immediately. Under this plan Britain would trade with Europe under WTO rules – with no special arrangements. Then there are many options in between – bilateral deals, like Switzerland; a "simple" free trade agreement, like Canada (seven years on and still not in force), or a bespoke deal.
With so many options, some are tempted to return to the electorate for consent once any deal is hammered out. The former Cameron government forbid any officials from planning a Brexit, in case it turned out well on paper and the details leaked. But such planning, even from remainers, would probably be indispensable now.
The leave camp is just as fractured as well. For a campaign that was so passionate, and with such a clear message, the lack of details and unity on a post-Brexit Britain is astonishing. Some Brexiteers want to preserve access to the single market and customs union, while the most egregious proponents want every EU citizen already in Britain to have to apply for visas.
The clock is ticking
The blame for this lack of action lies squarely on both sides. David Cameron should not have asked a question he could not answer; why should Britain stay in the EU? The leave campaign should not have made promises they couldn't keep, secretly thinking they couldn't win. Euroscepticism, like any form of populism, works best when it is the underdog. Now that it is mainstream, the lack of plans or action makes it seem like it is all talk.
Time is on Britain's side for now. Only the member state planning to leave can initiate Article 50. But those who voted to leave – and indeed, those who voted to remain – will want to know what Britain will look like post-Brexit. That's not to mention the other 27 EU states who will want to press on without their most awkward member.

Genital herpes symptoms in men are frequently hard to visually identify for a physician (a good deal considerably much less the common person) on account of a myriad of variables – not the least of that is certainly the truth that some symptoms of herpes appear like these of other skin situations. With each infected individual's immune method experiencing varied degrees of outcomes in combating the virus, 1 unique man could develop tell-tale clusters of painful blisters (the most-recognizable symptom of a herpes infection) via an outbreak, although one more experiences the kind of generalized skin irritation brought on by many diverse circumstances.
The following herpes symptoms in men look like other skin circumstances:
With no doubt, the symptom most-commonly related with herpes in men is the formation of blisters on or around the genitals. Less known by the general public, however, is that this symptom is also noticed in instances of Eczema, Impetigo, Syphilis, and yeast infection. Whereas the blisters related with Eczema and Impetigo may well appear within the genital region (although it's uncommon), these blisters that form through the second stage of a Syphilis infection, and for the duration of a primary yeast infection surely will. Because of this, genital herpes sores are from time to time misdiagnosed as Syphilis or Candidiasis (yeast infection).
Sores and Ulcers
The sores and ulcers that type just right after herpes blisters rupture can, needless to say, resemble these within the other aforementioned skin circumstances which bring about blisters. They're capable to also, on the other hand, resemble symptoms of skin circumstances including Lichen Sclerosis, different allergic reactions, as well as acne at different stages. Within the case of Lichen Sclerosis, a painful skin irritation that causes inflammation and itching, scratching on the irritated tissue can produce leaking sores equivalent to herpes ulcers. Allergic rashes and acne, if scratched or otherwise picked at by the sufferer, might also produce an appearance similar to herpes.
Swollen, Reddened Patches of Skin
Perhaps the easiest symptom to mis-diagnose, swollen, reddened patches of skin on and around the genitals are frequently indicative of a herpes outbreak, but can just as effortlessly be indicative of any number of other skin conditions resulting from either internal, or external, irritants. After after far more, Lichen Sclerosis, Candidiasis, Eczema and Impetigo may very well be the culprit around the predicament, as could any quantity of other illnesses, or further benign causes (i.e., chafing from poorly fitting undergarments).
In the finish from the day, on the other hand, there is surely 1 basic point to keep in thoughts concerning the information presented within this post. Even though this short article presents a summary of these genital herpes symptoms in men that appear like other skin situations, it really is important to bear in mind that an correct diagnosis demands testing by a trained physician. As with a number of other herpes-related concerns, only via getting an precise diagnosis can you make certain that you're infected, and only then are you capable to start to undergo remedy.
For additional information and information on herpes symptoms in men, pay a visit to to uncover about diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of both genital and oral herpes.

Ahead of ODC/Dance's performances of boulders and bones and The Velveteen Rabbit, we asked Yayoi Kambara, founder of KAMBARA+, to reflect on her time in the University of Minnesota dance program. After graduating, Kambara had a successful career with ODC/Dance before moving on in 2015. Here is her essay:
Paula Mann, my modern dance professor and mentor at the University of Minnesota, asked me a critical question right before my graduation: "What do you want your day to look like?"
My answer came quickly and felt crystal-clear: "I want to take a class in the morning and rehearse in the afternoon." I went to the U thinking I would become a teacher but the professors and the department pushed me to perform and train in the BFA program, exposing me concert dance, dance theater, and improvisation.
Reading Deborah Jowitt and Arlene Croce's reviews in Dance Writing class, critically thinking about performance and the body, I aspired to participate in work that was content driven while being technical.
Pearl Ubungen came to Minneapolis in 1999 through the McKnight Fellowship. Pearl is an activist dancemaker working with musicians and community members. That summer I worked with her in Minneapolis and then moved to San Francisco after I graduated to work on another project with her.
I see a thoroughfare between Minneapolis and San Francisco: both liberal and intellectual with enthusiastic art/activist communities.
Eventually, after freelancing several jobs, I was invited to join ODC in 2003, where I reached my goal of taking a class every day and then rehearsing. Some days I would take a class in the morning, rehearse, and then take another class at night. I was thrilled to become a company member at ODC, go on a monthlong State Department tour in South East Asia, and perform in festivals in Europe with my friends and colleagues.
ODC was a training ground that allowed me to experiment as a performer and movement generator. I also got to be a mom and continue dancing. I had three directors who all had children.
A couple of years before my retirement from the company, I remember sitting with KT Nelson and Brenda Way during my annual review when they asked me what I wanted my life to look like after retirement.
I had the same feeling of clarity as I did when I answered Paula.
"I want to choreograph."
Brenda answered, "Well, of course."
During my transition year between company member to choreography, KT created training opportunities for my next steps as a choreographer. She let me assist in creating new works and choreography for operas while offering mentorship. Brenda most recently got my company a performance gig with famous U of M alumni Garrison Keillor for his Mardi Gras show last year in San Francisco.
Whenever I am at a crossroads or questioning what kind of creative life I want, I ask myself the same question Paula Mann asked me a very long time ago: "What do you want your day to look like?"
For now, I want to work on choreography that creates a space for empathy and dialogue. In a world becoming alarmingly more conservative and segregated, taking time to choreograph with a diverse cast is my way of preserving optimism as dance can represent the ineffable resiliency of the human spirit to continue in the face of uncertainty.
I'm grateful for the training the U and ODC/Dance gave to me as I stay on this path.

Bet you didn't know…Sam Ashburner, one of SoapBox's Project Managers, once worked at The Price is Right. His job was to warm up the crowd.
Get to Know Your Staff — They May Surprise You
Some people like to keep their personal lives and professional lives completely separate. I don't really get those people. One of the things I enjoy most about being a business leader is getting to know my employees on a personal level. I'm super lucky to work with such an amazing group of people. Learning what makes them tick has been half of the fun. Although sometimes the things I uncover leave me shaking my head, these are totally worth sharing. Here are the Top Ten Most "Interesting" Facts I know about my staff…
- Aaron Cole, SoapBoxSample Director of Systems and Programming, spent 2 months traveling around in Japan. When he ran out of money, he survived by eating out of dumpsters. This was before he started working at SoapBox, and I'm happy to say that we pay him enough to buy food.
- Sam Ashburner, Project Manager, once worked on the TV show The Price is Right. His job was to warm up the crowd. (Pictured above. Look how warm that crowd is.)
- Kevin Moran, who does our panel support, practices fencing (sword-fighting) in his free time. In fact, he and his wife do it together. Makes me wonder if that's how they settle arguments.
- Dan Parcon, who has been with SoapBox from the very beginning, has a weird talent for running into celebrities. The biggest star he ran into was Brad Pitt. They shared an elevator in 1996, but Dan didn't say anything to him.
- Nicole Restivo, our Sales and Marketing Admin, appeared in the music video for the 2004 mega-hit "Hey Ya," by Outkast. She shook it like a Polaroid picture.
- If you ever want to torture Kristin Muir, Junior Project Manager, act like you are going to touch your eye. It freaks her out.
- This one is not so much weird, as it is impressive. Bruce Tate, Chief Technology Officer at icanmakeitbetter, has written 10 books. All of them are about computer technology, otherwise known as Things I Don't Understand.
- Meg Ryan, SoapBoxSample Senior Account Executive, collects political buttons.
- Andrea Spiros, Project Manager, likes to drizzle ketchup and mayonnaise on her pizza. Some people get very disturbed by this.
- At the age of 6, Kealan Crowley, Estimator and Vendor Relations Associate, appeared on The Jay Leno Show with his First Grade class. He wowed the audience by playing the slide whistle.
I could probably come up with a hundred of these quirky tidbits. I love knowing entertaining things about my staff, and sharing them with the world (through this blog) makes it even more entertaining.

Planning for cultural diversityPublisher: IIEP/UNESCO
Serie: Fundamentals of educational planning
Reward Points: 0
Availability: 97
Ex Tax: 10.00 €
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, there is continuing debate about education in a culturally diverse society. How to ensure educational equality, rights to cultural maintenance and full social participation of minority groups, while ensuring social harmony and national development within a democratic society, is a major challenge for education policy-makers. Traditionally, this is viewed as a debate for pedagogues. Nevertheless, there are important implications for educational planners and managers. Given the many varied patterns of ethnic diversity within individual societies and their different educational traditions, no one set of educational responses is universally applicable. However, as discussed in the booklet, there are certain readily identifiable processes to follow in developing responses to cultural diversity. The three main foci of policy responses put forward are: the organization and structures of education; curricula, pedagogy and choice of language; and relations between the school and the community.

Phoebe, Cricket, Snow & Niki Maru
Phoebe was our first clinic cat that we rescued. Phoebe is sadly no longer with us but she will always have a place in our hearts. Donations offered to raise funds for less fortunate comunity kitties are made to THE PHOEBE FUND named in her honor. She spent most of her time at the front desk, and occasionally you could find her in the window, basking in the sun. She often gave us high fives, and she enjoyed sneaking Snow's food too!
Cricket was a kitten when she came to us with a broken leg from the Humane Society. We corrected her broken leg with surgery, and then she was put up for adoption. She was even on the local news in search of a new home! Cricket was adopted out, but unfortunately her new kitty sibling wasn't fond of her. The owner brought her back to us, and she has stayed with us since. She enjoys watching the birds and mice at the front window. Her favorite past time though, is treat time!
Snow came to us from Happy Cats Haven, after his owner developed Alzheimer's. He had a few medical problems, including chronic ear infections, was underweight, and needed extensive dental work. Since Snow has lived with us, he has gained weight, his coat is no longer matted, and he is the friendliest gentleman you will ever meet! His chronic ear infections have left him deaf, and with a head tilt, but it doesn't stop him from greeting our clients and patients! Snow enjoys playing with his favorite blue toy, greeting clients, and sleeping on the sofa
Niki is super friendly and loves attention - especially belly rubs! He has diabetes, so he gets insulin injections every morning and evening, and takes them like a champ. He loves everyone. His previous owner was heartbroken to surrender him to CatTails because they did not have the time or resources to care for him. Niki is our celebrity politician, running for the mayor of Divide and Black Forrest.

Four Places to Visit in Anglesey
I'll admit, I had hesitations about spending my birthday weekend in Anglesey, it's where I grew up and although I have a horde of happy memories, I wasn't sure how much it would keep us entertained for a whole weekend.
When we were little, we spent hours and hours outside exploring the outdoors, the beach and the forests of Anglesey, but since then my tastes have changed to also include eating out and drinking wine (not your usual hobbies of a 10 year old!). I wasn't expecting to have a huge choice of restaurants and local shops as I'm used to an Angelsey devoid of anything but fish and chips, but after a quick peek in the Good Food Guide and asking my cousins who still live there, we suddenly had a huge list to choose from!
We had a lovely four days in Anglesey so I've picked out four of my favourite places we visited that I hadn't been to before that I would thoroughly recommend.
Newborough Beach
We never visited this beach when we were little, we lived round the other side of the island and even though it only takes about 40 minutes to drive across, we stuck to the beaches we knew and loved. It is an absolutely stunning beach, we went twice in three days! Once with my mum, sister and her little girls (hi Ruby if you're reading this!) who joined us for Saturday and Sunday, then another time just Joe and I before we headed home on Monday.
It's not only a beautiful beach, it's also home to red squirrel woodland so you can walk through the forest and still hear the sound of the ocean, something I adored! Be careful with tide times though as the beach is entirely engulfed in water until around 10am at this time of year which you can see in the photo right at the top of this post, it looked incredible though. We went with the girlies around 3pm when there was plenty of beach for them to run around on, explore rock pools and jump around on sand dunes. It's lovely for the whole family, plus it's dog friendly so we made some furry friends!
The details: It costs £4 to park at the beach and you can't get down to it without going through the barrier so make sure you have change with you. There's usually an ice cream van down there and there are toilets etc too. You can find out more here.
Dylan's Restaurant
This was recommended to us by my cousin's girlfriend Linsey (along with a huge list of other suggestions too that we need to go back and try!), and we were not disappointed. Because we had been to the beach and the Sea Zoo (got to love the Sea Zoo) we were not what you would call, presentable... So we felt a bit under dressed when we got there as it was way fancier than we expected, but we dusted off our sandy shoes and got on with it!
We chose seats right at the back of the restaurant, overlooking the sea in a covered veranda which were by far the best seats in the house. We ordered drinks and looked over the menu, we pretty much wanted everything so it took us forever to choose! But eventually I went for whitebait to start and half a lobster for main, Joe went for calamari (his classic) and pork belly. The food was delicious but the view over the Menai Straits was the best thing about the restaurant, we could have stayed there for hours watching little boats come in, eating lovely food and chatting but we had to head back to real life.
The details: There's a car park about two roads away from Dylan's as it's a bit of a nightmare to park right near it, it only takes a few minutes to walk through though. You can find out more and check out the menu here.
Plas Newydd
We HAD to visit Plas Newydd, as we drove past the entrance on the way to our cottage, we saw a red squirrel at the entrance which we were both stupidly excited about. Joe's from London so had never seen a red squirrel in his whole life so we went back after lunch to find more.
Anglesey is pretty special because it only has red squirrels, the grey squirrels have never made it over to the island. We strolled around the protected woodland for a couple of hours with no luck at all on the squirrel front, but the woodland itself was beautiful from the eucalyptus trees to the giant fir trees. We got lucky towards the end and became pretty experienced squirrel spotters, seeing 4 (which may have been just one really quick one who followed us...) by the end of the trip!
Plas Newydd is also where we always went on school trips so it was lovely to reminisce, we didn't visit the house this time but it is lovely if you get the chance to visit. Plus I got to wear my new Hunter jacket, got to love a waterproof that actually looks good too!
The Marram Grass Cafe
Joe spotted this restaurant in the Good Food Guide so we booked in straight away, it's had some great bits of press and reviews so it would have been rude not to seeing as it was about 10 minutes down the road from our cottage.
It was oddly in a little camp site, the cutest little restaurant surrounded by gardens and covered in grape vines, along with very fancy chickens patrolling the area.
The food was some of the best we've had recently - amazingly high quality ingredients, beautifully presented and just delicious. I went for mussels (so fresh and delicious!) and fish of the day, Joe went for oysters (which he fell in love with) and wild sea bass. As it was my birthday we also had a Set Pumpkin Custard to share which was honestly the best thing!
The details: You can find out more and have a look at a sample menu here.
This isn't somewhere to visit but the cottage we stayed in was so lovely and we had such a good experience with the whole booking process that I have to mention it, we booked through Menai Holiday Cottages and they have so many lovely properties on there to choose from. I'll definitely be using it again and big thanks to Mari who went above and beyond when my emails and payments weren't going through properly. I wish we were back there right now, there was a hot tub and everything!

STRENGTHS Evaluation Design Workshop
PI: Bayard Roberts
Date: March 27th, 2017
Time: 12:45 pm – 2:00 pm
Venue: Jerry Morris A, Tavistock Place
Background: Recent crises in the Middle East, most notably in Syria, have resulted in an unprecedented increase in the number of refugees seeking asylum in neighbouring countries as well as in Europe. The refugee crisis imposes highly challenging demands on health systems in Europe and the Middle East. The STRENGTHS (Syrian REfuGees MeNTal HealTH Care Systems) project a 5-year research project funded by the European Commission focusing on implementation of a trans-diagnostic mental health intervention related to the current Syrian refugee crisis. STRENGTHS will take place in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. It is led by the Free University of Amsterdam and involves a consortium of academic and operational agencies, including LSHTM.
The overall aim of STRENGTHS is to provide effective community-based health care implementation strategies to scale-up the delivery and uptake of effective mental health interventions in different country contexts. STRENGTHS seeks to:
- Outline necessary steps needed to integrate evidence based low-intensity psychological interventions for common mental disorders (the PM+ programmes) into the health systems. These include key preparatory steps in the local political, regulatory and governance processes for uptake and scaling-up of the intervention and key contextual and system-related factors for its integration. These steps will be validated for the real-life impact on the responsiveness of the system.
- Adapt the PM+ programmes and training materials to the recipients of care within the specific health systems and co-create the necessary local conditions for implementation and up-scaling, e.g. training a workforce and develop internet-delivery modality and supporting tools.
- Scale-up the PM+ programmes successfully in terms of health-system performance, effectiveness, affordability and sustainability and identify barriers and facilitators to this end.
- Determine the invested cost and effort in terms of organisational, resource and political-economic requirements relative to the reduction of economic burden of the large-scale implementation of the specific PM+ programmes into the health systems in the different contexts.
- Disseminate the evidence-base for PM+ programmes as well as the validated implementation strategies and step-guides to maintain its sustainability and engage with new stakeholders and health systems to further scaling up across Europe and beyond.
LSHTM, through ECOHOST, will be leading one of the project work packages (and contributing to others). The work package led by LSHTM seeks to analyse the responsiveness of health systems to the scaling-up of PM+ across European host countries and LAMIC bordering Syria in addressing the mental health needs of refugees. Further technical input will be provided from KIT in Amsterdam. The objectives of the LSHTM-led work package are to:
- Analyse the responsiveness of health systems across European host countries and LAMIC bordering Syria in addressing the mental health care needs of refugees.
- Examine how contextual factors such as socio-economic, cultural, and political-economy factors influence the responsiveness of health systems to the mental health care needs of refugees in the project countries.
- Explore how the scaling-up of the low-intensity PM+ programmes can support health system responsiveness to the mental health care needs of refugees in the project countries
- Compare the responsiveness before and after implementation of the PM+ programmes of the health systems of European and LAMI countries bordering Syria.

Hey Exile Community
Me and my brother bought the game a year back and have been trying on and off to get our own server running.
we have tried multiple times, never been able to see the server, in the browser or anything..
But now we finally got a server running with exile, all the vendors are working properly.
xm8 app and all the exile funtions are seems to be working now.
we tried installing DMS, and occupations, for missions and roaming ai, but we cant seem to get them working.
And we cant find any solotion and we have hit rock bottom now, we got a big server with loot and guns, But nothing to shoot at, no life at all other than the traders and us pretty lonely
i've loaded both the pbo files from DMS and occupations like in the instrutions, which are faily simple, But no ai are spawning and no missions are starting.
Would really appreciate any help or suggestions, have searched google to the bottom and cant seem to find any fix for us.
We are really new to all this sql stuff, And are pretty proud that we got this far tbh, but this seems far beyond our knowledge, and we just need this last step for it to be complete.
it would be a dream come true.
If u need any kind of logs, screenshots etc. just ask for it and ill send it. we have used heidiSQL ,Xammp , Tadst. To make the server and bohemia interactive binPBO to pack the PBO Files.
Really hope some of u guys have a solution for this, we are so close to have our dream server, and been struggling for i dont know how long..
Kindly Regards Ecukan And Zolid
-Ps sorry if this is the wrong section or something, but we are pretty confused at this moment..

Congratulations to the Eminence Independent Schools for hiring Bill Covington and giving him a second chance! We in Eminence are so fortunate to have a fine school and dedicated school board. Our chairman has served many years, surely does not give up easily. I would certainly hope every man should have respect and deserves a second chance in life.
Now, my question, should this subject be the lead article in the county weekly newspaper?
Carolyn Giltner,
I have to say, I'm disappointed in this headline and its negativity. As a member of the community, president of the local bank, athletic booster, volunteer coach and parent, Bill Covington made numerous contributions to Eminence Independent Schools, the City of Eminence and Henry County. I think it speaks volumes for his character that he wants to come back to Eminence and make additional contributions to the school, the students and the future of our community, all the while knowing that there will be some people who just can't move on.
While in the school library studying for finals at the University of Kentucky last spring, Reece Brammell and a friend noticed an advertisement that popped up on Facebook for mascot additions. Just a click later, Brammell was on his way to becoming the new Scratch at UK.
John Allgeier: A family man, a community man and a great person. While a magistrate, he was an active member of the Kentucky Magistrates and Commissioners Association and made many contributions to it. He believed in the purpose of the association and was always willing to help it along.
The Mountain Wrestling Association will make a return trip to the Eminence Community Life Center this Saturday to help raise money for the Eastern Colts of the Henry County Youth Football League.
Youth Soccer
The Henry County Youth Soccer Association will have registration this Saturday at the Henry County Library and Aug. 15 at the soccer pavilion at Harry Hill Park. Both registration dates will start at 9 .m. and last until noon.
The soccer organization is a recreational league that had 18 teams last year for players ranging from 4-12. The league is designed to teach kids at any age about soccer. It is held at Harry Hill Park but will eventually be moved to the new park in New Castle.
Having a national debate on health care reform is welcomed by President Obama. The trouble is, no sooner does the President call for "everyone to pitch in" and engage in the debate, that he vilifies anyone who criticizes his plans. Having a civil national debate will produce more lasting change; accusing opponents of engaging in scare tactics and fear mongering will not.
I was very sorry you chose to have the front page bold print July 29, 2009, Local edition state "From bank to jail to classroom." This article was totally uncalled for and was about Bill Covington, former president of the Farmers Deposit Bank.
With the recent death of former Henry County Magistrate John Allgeier, Henry County lost one of our truly dedicated citizens. Words can not express how much his friendship meant to me and to so many others whose lives he touched. Maybe he did a wedding for you or a family member. Maybe you called him about a road that needed repairing, or you met him while he was serving as a volunteer fireman. Maybe he told you a joke, or laughed with you at the stock yard sales. Maybe he was just there when you needed a friend.

Eminence is reviving the tradition of Eminence Day on Saturday, Aug. 8. Mayor Jim Pettit and organizers promise a day to remember.
"There hasn't been an Eminence Day at least since I've been in office," he said, "but the council decided they wanted to run with it."
Lee Ann Armstrong is one of three council members who helped organize the event.
