Secure Messaging Made Easy for Businesses
At Biscom, we believe companies should not have to sacrifice usability for security when sharing confidential files or emails. With expectations from your customers and clients to keep their information secure, as well as new compliance requirements like GDPR, companies need to guarantee the security and protection of their sensitive data.
Biscom Transit is a secure cloud file sharing and email solution that provides businesses with a way to send documents, large files, and email messages as easily as email but with embedded encryption and activity reports that enable you to meet your security and compliance requirements.
Security made simple
• Share large files without limits
• Store files securely with cloud storage solutions
• Lock down confidential communication via secure email
• Know when your emails are received
• Make it so simple everyone can use it without training
• Increase productivity of your staff while reducing overall costs
Transit integrations complement your existing cloud storage solutions and tools including Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Box.
Transit provides more security, more control, and more auditability than other cloud file sharing solutions.
Tracking and reporting are key product components, built to satisfy the most rigorous regulatory requirements including HIPAA, SOX, FERPA, and GDPR for businesses and regulated industries.
Why is ease-of-use so important to my security?
In a recent survey, 75% of employees admitted they sent confidential information or private files via email. Why put this data at risk?
Employees said they had training and access to secure communication tools. They all gave the same reason – convenience. On average, employees spent six minutes more per message using a secure tool versus one minute with email. Sending five secure messages a day adds up to 100 hours in a year.
We designed Transit to be incredibly easy to use, with a familiar email interface to help user adoption. Doing the right thing shouldn't be an obstacle to getting your job done.
Looking for more?
Transit is a powerful, cloud-based tool to keep business's private information secure, help companies maintain regulatory compliance, and remain easy enough to use for high user adoption. But sometimes you need something more. Turn to Biscom SFT for:
• On-premises deployment
• Secure workspaces
• Workflow automation

Here at Categorists, we are very much concerned with that which the brighter minds of this world do to occupy themselves. Each of us is majoring in, or have majored in sciences in college (Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, and last but not least, Political Science) and a project that I have personally kept close watch over is CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This year, I have spent a great deal of time studying one of the building blocks of the physical world, quantum mechanics, only to find that there are numerous unexplained phenomenon. Apparently, a number of these answers are in the LHC.
Here is a quick synopsis of what CERN is and what the LHC does. CERN stands for Organisation européenne pour la recherche nucléaire, which translates to European Organization for Nuclear Research. It's an international organization that leads the world in laboratory particle physics research. It is also the proud owner of the most badass particle accelerator to date: the Large Hadron Collider. It is 17 miles long and cost 7.5 billion Euros to construct. One of its main purposes is to discover the Higgs-Boson particle, which is pretty much the final missing link to the standard model of particle physics. Aside from that, it is theoretically capable of forming particles of infinite density and chain reaction properties (Strange Matter). To this day, the Higgs-Boson is still theoretical and the LHC has faced many experiments and complications since it's induction in 2008. A large number of people believe that the experiments done at CERN could have catastrophic side effects, such as creating a black hole, here on Earth.
This year, CERN is beginning another set of experiments in hopes to getting that much closer to completing the Standard Model. Scientists at CERN have announced test dates for the rest of the year, as well as some curious dates can be found in the upcoming schedule. Starting Monday, December 17, 2012 and going through Friday, December 21, 2012, CERN will be launching and running a series of collisions, which are predicted to break records in high voltage collisions already set by the LHC. With these experiments, the scientists are hoping to create atomic reactions that would provide further information about anti-matter, and the big bang.
The test set for the week of December 17-21, 2012 is the final test before the LHC will shutdown operations for upgrades and will resume operation in 2014, assuming something doesn't go wrong, in the minds of some of the scientists, terribly right, which causes the end of the world. I guess we will just have to see what happens. Let us know what you think, is CERNguilty of a self-fulfilling prophecy of destruction here?

The inflow to Harangi reservoir has increased following heavy rain in the catchment area in Kodagu. Water is only 20 foot below the maximum level of the reservoir.
On Tuesday noon, 2,838.66 foot water was collected in the dam which has a capacity of 2,859 foot.
About 4.02 tmcft water has been collected in the dam so far, Harangi reservoir Assistant Engineer Nagaraju said.
As the rain has started in the first week of June itself, the reservoir is all set to be filled soon.
Last year, the reservoir was full to its capacity on July 10, owing to the delay in monsoons. This year, the water is approaching close to the maximum level, despite emptying the reservoir for repair.
Farmers are very happy and they have started agricultural activities in the catchment areas of the dam.

Hallo, my friends. Yes, I'm still alive :) Maybe you are in the mood for some boy-fun?
Title: Decisions
Fandom: The Faculty
Characters: Casey / Zeke
Prompt: author's choice, author's choice, "You knew there'd come a day. when we would have to say goodbye."
Word Count: 645
Rating: PG13
Disclaimer: not mine, of course
Zeke stared at the stupid checkered shirt and the much too wide denim Casey was wearing, as ever, and suddenly he felt the urge to cry. How embarrassing! He had never been a pathetic fool who did believe in endless love and happy endings. He was not a guy for a longer relationship; it never did end well.
Being together with Casey for a whole summer had been a record and the boy had crept deeper into his life than planned. First it had been just a game for Zeke, he had enjoyed the challenge. Casey was different than any other he had ever met before; he was well known as the geek at school but deep inside he was much stronger than most of the jocks who bullied him every day. In a strange way, Zeke had always admired him for his stubbornness which let him go his way unperturbed.
It happened a week after graduation when they met at the Mall. Before Zeke did realize what happened, he was sitting together with Casey at Annie's Icecream Parlor. He actually hated ice cream. But minutes and hours pass by, never before they had talked so much, though they had been lab partners at school during their last year.
At the evening they ended in Zeke's garage. It was not a surprise that Casey was inexperienced but even more how eager he was to learn. Usually, Zeke didn't hook up with virgins; this outright cried for complications. But with Casey everything was easy.
It was the best summer of Zeke's remembrance … but now it was almost over. Next month Casey would leave Herrington, Ohio, behind to go to College. That was his dream for ages and for sure he deserved it. Zeke knew how hard the time at Herrington High had been for him; nevertheless, Casey had passed school with distinction and he had had the choice between three of the best art schools. Finally, he had decided in favor of San Francisco.
Casey's soft voice tore him out of his thought.
"What's wrong?"
He smirked.
"Cali, huh? 2500 miles away."
"I thought you would be happy about that. It actually never was a question that there'd come the day when we would have to say goodbye."
It was hard to fight his feelings.
"Yeah, sure," Zeke murmured and all he could hope for was that Casey didn't notice the slight trembling in his voice.
"That's how things go. Nothing lasts forever."
"I've thought about it."
Casey hesitated shortly before continuing.
"How it would be when you would come with me."
Zeke blinked. How often had he thought about it, to leave everything behind? The house, he had lived into alone since his parents had decided that he was old enough for that about six years ago. The friends, he used to hang around with in clubs and at parties every weekend. The garage, he was working into for a much too low wage.
A new beginning, far away from all this, together with Casey. It was a tempting thought. But …
"Frisco, Case, an exciting, new life. Art school. Beaches and clubs. Pretty guys. I'm sure, you will be much too busy to miss me."
"Probably it won't be difficult to find someone to fuck," Casey agreed.
"But this is not what I'm looking for."
"So, what do you want?"
"You! Without you, everything will be just half as fun."
Zeke swallowed; usually, this was the point when he knew that a break-up was inevitable. But when he looked in Casey's sparkling blue eyes, at his soft smile, all he could feel was relief. Relief, that this wouldn't be the end but a beginning.

Buying a new car can be really exciting, but to ensure that you don't accidentally throw away your hard-earned money, there are a few things that you need to consider before you go shopping. When you are prepared to make a good decision while shopping for a car, then not only will you be able to save some money and stay under budget, but you are much more likely to buy the exact car that you really need. Keep these things in mind when shopping for a new car, and you are sure to have a much better experience.
Consider Your Future
One major mistake that people make when they buy a new car is that they are only focused on their current needs and they don't think about what they are going to need from their car in the future. While a really small car might work for you now, if you are going to have a family in the future, then you need to make sure to consider how the car can grow with you. It's very easy to get excited about a car that works for your life now, but remember that your future can change, and consider whether you will have enough space for a dog, a car seat, or luggage for vacations.
Think About the Maintenance Requirements
Newer cars often have very expensive maintenance needs after the vehicle is purchased, especially if you opt for a car that has an extensive computer system that requires regular repair. It's a good idea to make sure not only that you can afford the vehicle now, but also that you will be able to afford it in the future. You also need to think about the cost of gas, how much new tyres will cost, and what the regular yearly checkup and maintenance will cost before signing for a new car.
Be Honest About Resale
No matter how much you love your car now, if you are going to sell it in the future then you will want to make sure that you are going to be able to get a good price for it. That's why, when shopping for cars for sale in Canberra, you need to think about how much you will be able to get for your car when it is time to sell it. Some people like to sell their cars on a regular basis and continually upgrade, and if this appeals to you, then you need to make sure that you are going to get a good price for your vehicle.
Buying a new car is a big decision and needs to be one that you make carefully. When you are honest with yourself about not only your current and future needs, but also how much money you are going to be able to spend on your vehicle, then you can make sure that you choose the right car for your needs. This can take a lot of work and research, which is why it's such a good idea to fully consider your purchase before buying a new car.

At the 2018 Pikes Peak Hillclimb, which happened right on the Midsummer's day 24th of June, team Volkswagen recorded a 7 minute 57 second run, beating the absolute Pikes Peak world record.
The VW "I.D. R" (a cryptic name difficult to memorize) is a 4 wheel drive electric car built by VW with the purpose of beating previous electric car Pikes Peak record of 8 minutes 57 seconds, recorded 3 years ago by a Latvian electric race car specialist Andris Dambis and American racing driver Rhys Millen.
VW, being the resourceful German engineering company, didn't cut any corners (at least off the track), and conceived a car capable of beating the best that internal combustion can offer.
Not only did they accomplish the goal of beating electric car record, they also beat the absolute record (8:13.9) held by Sebastien Loeb and the awesome 900 horsepower twin turbo V6 Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak and became the first vehicle to break the 8 minute mark.
I predicted electric cars would surpass internal combustion prototypes at Pikes Peak several years ago when I first wrote about team Drive eO record attempts.
Hill-climbing is a discipline well suited for electric cars - races are short and don't require excessive battery weight. High altitude locations like Pikes Peak also favor electric motors which don't require oxygen to generate power.
With steady improvements in lithium ion battery tech, we might see electric racing expand beyond Formula E, Pikes Peak and hybrid racing drivetrains.

|Yorkshire and Humber Co-Operative Learning Trust (YHCLT)
|Contact Name:
|Academy Ambassadors

Job Description
Yorkshire and Humber Co-operative Learning Trust (YHCLT) seeks two new non-executive directors with experience in the field of general management, HR, risk and/or succession planning to join its board. Board meetings are held in the Hull area.
About the Trust
YHCLT was created in 2016 and, based on co-operative values, it aims to use the strengths of the trust to benefit all pupils. The trust consists of two secondary schools and four primary schools with another two due to join the trust in September; each school has its individual ethos, strengths and challenges.
Hull has areas of high deprivation and regeneration. Some schools have a high number of children with English as an additional language and mobility is a further challenge schools face.
The trust's aim, underpinned by co-operative values and an ethical approach to leadership, is to inspire its students and staff and bring rapid and sustained improvement to the surrounding communities.
Plans for the Future
The key challenges for the board over the next 12-24 months are:
Recruitment – recruiting the best staff, governors and trustees in a challenging location. There is a demand for specialist teachers and a limited pool of high quality teaching resource; therefore, the trust seeks to support recruitment and training and development of staff within the trust.
Financial – the new National Schools Funding Formula has significantly reduced the budget of the two secondary schools within the trust, accounting for more than half of the trust's 4,000 pupils. There is a challenge to manage resources and do the best for pupils within the trust, within an increasingly challenging budget.
Standards - improving standards each year, at each school, against a number of challenges such as increased mobility of pupils, increased number of countries/ languages of pupils and increased expectations in examinations.
Trust Ethos & Values
YHCLT strives to demonstrate the following ethical values:
Openness – Believe in being open with colleagues in schools and beyond, children and their families, sharing information and ideas to raise standards and life chances.
Honesty – Act in a professional and respectful manner in its dealings with everyone.
Social responsibility – Maximise its impact on the people in the communities while minimising its footprint on the world.
Caring for Others – Treat everyone with respect, care and sensitivity, understanding that children are its absolute priority.
Self-help and self-responsibility – Support learners, parents, carers and staff to help themselves.
Role Summary
Number of Positions Advertised:
Role 1 & 2 – Trustee/Non-Executive Director
Trustees – or non-executive directors - are both charity trustees and company directors of the academy trust; the role is to hold to account the executive and senior leadership team. The board of trustees manages the business of the academy trust and may exercise all the powers of the trust. The trustees ensure compliance with the trust's charitable objects and with company and charity law.
Non-executive directors will be responsible for maintaining stability during a period of growth and the management of a dynamic structure. The role also includes contributing to financial planning for sustainability and growth and holding the CEO/CFO to account.
The competencies required for this role include:
Essential (due to multiple roles, candidates may be accepted who possess one or more of the skills below)
Real estate/ Property
Succession Planning
CEO/ General Management Desirable
CFO/ Finance
IT/ Technology
Legal/ Compliance
Growth Management
Person Specification
Role 1: The trust seeks a trustee with a strong and demonstrable background in real estate, risk and succession planning.
Role 2: The trust seeks a trustee with a strong and demonstrable senior leadership and general management, with specific emphasis on growth management, to help shape the trust as it seeks to grow in future. Experience in an education background would be advantageous but is not essential.
All non-executive directors must be able to work effectively as part of a team. The trust welcomes applicants with a keen interest in using their valued skills and expertise to develop the multi-academy trust board and improve education for children in the area.
Time Commitment
8 hours per month, minimum.
The Trust Board meets 6 times a year. One of these meetings is a full-day strategy meeting. Meetings are held between 9am and 11.30am on Tuesdays.
Some trustees may be asked to join sub committees, pending personal time commitment, and depending on their area of expertise.
Location of Board Meetings and Trust Website
The Pavilion, Bishop Alcock Road, Hull, HU5 4RL.
Governance Structure
Background on Academy Trusts
Academy schools, which are charities run independently of local authority control, now account for 73% of secondary schools and 29% of primaries – and their number is growing all the time.
Many of these schools are grouped together as multi-academy trusts (MATs). There are currently 760 multi academy trusts of 3+ schools. If the schools are to fulfil their potential, the trusts need non-executives (known in charity law as trustees) to bring a wide range of skills and experience to help guide strategy, ensure their ambitions can be soundly financed and keep their schools up to the mark delivering for their pupils.
"Academy boards must be ambitious for all children and young people and infused with a passion for education and a commitment to continuous school improvement that enables the best possible outcomes. Governance must be grounded in reality as defined by both high-quality objective data and a full understanding of the views and needs of pupils/students, staff, parents, carers and local communities. It should be driven by inquisitive, independent minds and through conversations focused on the key strategic issues which are conducted with humility, good judgement, resilience and determination."
Source: Governance Handbook, Department for Education (2017)
Trusteeship is a voluntary, unpaid role for people who have the energy and skills to make a real contribution to shaping the future of our schools. You do not need to have any specialist knowledge of education.

Amisfield winery is one of the more famous winery's in Central Otago and for good reason. We headed there for a trust the chef lunch menu and my oh my, I could get used to dining like that more. The five course lunch set us back $95 per person with an additional $70 for the wine match. I would recommend doing the wine match as you do get your moneys worth to say the least.

Hello and welcome to my first post of the new year about what I've been up to since making the move to Queenstown. Once we found our home and got a job it turned into work madness, and I was working ridiculous hours over Christmas and into the new year. However the long hours were worth it for the money and I have now started to replenish my much depleted funds. Here in the new year I have been looking towards the next trip that is in the works that I am sure you will all be very excited to hear all about. It's nothing like anything I have done before. A half holiday, half traveling around. I cannot wait. So watch this space to hear all about it…
So here I am living it up in Christchurch for the next three days. You will hear all about that when I finally get around to completing the post on Canterbury, but seeing as I am still on the North island posts, you will have to wait a little while longer. This however couldn't wait as I wanted every detail of the glorious food we have found here in Christchurch to be fresh in my mind when describing our culinary experiences. I am sure you would agree with me if you ever get the chance to give it a go yourself.Continue reading "New Zealand: A foodie in Christchurch"
Food is the sustenance for all of us, some just take more of an interest than others. Personally I adore all things food and drinks. So hopefully I am able to do it justice for you all.
I have spit this post into two sections to make life easier for all involved. I hope that you enjoy my brief break down for you on what to expect in each place.Continue reading "Whistler: Destination delicious"

There was much interesting debate a while back on our Forums about what constitutes a portrait. We never agreed, but I think the debate informed our indecision! For the purposes of our two portrait competitions this year we kept to adopting the Taylor-Wessing Portrait Prize definition of a portrait being about a person – a nice, open definition which permits both character studies and the more purely descriptive as well as the experimental.
Our 37 PDI portraits vying for the Howard Edwards Trophy and the 13 prints in the Maurice Ashwin came under the scrutiny of Tillman Kleinhans, justly one of the most popular judges on the circuit. Tillman is a delight to listen to drawing you in to look at the work in the same way he does, frequently making you realise the subconscious effect of details you had not realised were there. It is all a world away from a catalog of dreary negativity.
Tillman had no easy job, with so many really good photographs in the line-up. The quality was a tribute to the strong standard of work in the club. There were one or two more experimental ones, always good to see, but the majority were what you might call traditional studies.
In the end Dolores Williams dominated the PDIs with a first and second place. It is great to have Dolores entering work again, she has that special quality in a portraitist of drawing out that something extra in her model; capturing a feeling of the person rather than a mere likeness. Then she tops it all by processing her work to bring out its strengths.
The hidden battle in the competition was over who would be Photographer of the Year, with the best three scoring images being the last contribution to the total scores. Peter Robinson and Wallace Baxter were pretty close before this event but Peter managed, in the end, to pull ahead with good scores for one of his jaunty shots of King Charles(!) and a beautiful mono PDI called (prosaically) "Muscular Mike" and a crisp print called "Army Photographer" (who was holding an immaculate rangefinder Contax).
Before ending I must mention someone who has progressed so well this
year it is heart-warming to see – Keith Mulliner. Keith did really well
in this competition, with a 19 for "The Eyes" but all year we have seen
strong work from Keith and I wonder what 2020 will bring.

Does anyone have any information on M.L. Clark & Sons Combined Shows, The Greatest Performance of Acrobatic Wonders Ever Exhibited? I have a poster printed by the Riverside Printing Co. Milwaukee #2514 with this on it and many acrobatic wonders being displayed. I can't find any information on M. L. Clark & Sons, and would like to know what date this would have been published.
Kris & Phil Coneybeer
- Circus History asked 17 years ago

My apologies to all. I should have looked for this yesterday. The Riverside Printing Co. was based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Their final year of operation was 1937. So while it is still not an exact year of use, it will be 1930 or earlier.
Bob Cline
Several things to consider is the exact ownership and time frame. The M.L. Clark Circus was owned by M.L. Clark from 1883 to 1901. The name was then changed to M.L. Clark & Sons with M.L. Clark, & Lee Clark as the owners. This remained the same from 1902 until 1929. The show didn't go out in 1922 that I know of. Floyd and Howard King used the title of M.L. Clark & Great Sangor Circus in 1922. E.E. Coleman then took out the M.L. Clark & Sons Circus in 1930. He revised the same title again in 1943, 1945, and 1946.
The year(s) this poster was used could be verified through the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin or the Ringling Museums in Sarasota, Florida who now offer the entire Howard Tibbals poster collection on line for your viewing pleasure. This poster is on the Ringling Museum display but offers no year of use. Is there a possibility that any of you have a date sheet attached stating what day they would be in that town?
The poster was designed and then used as a "Stock" poster. That is why you have seen the same poster with different titles. Some of the more popular posters have been used by as many as six different titles that I know of. I hope this helps.
Bob Cline
Did you find anything? I have the same poster?
Thanks for a response. Best, Janice
I have this poster but the name on mine is Walter l. Main. First time I saw 2 names on the same poster. Is this the same poster? [poster image not displayed here – webmaster] Mine is on canvas about 3″ by 4″, my guess is that they are very rare.

I am related to the Clark Brothers Circus. It went by many names from about 1880 till 1929. Wiley C. Clark started the Clark Circus in Texas. Then he and his brother M.L. Clark were pardners. Then M.L. Clark went on his own. He and his two sons Lum and Willie wintered in Alexandria, LA. They toured mainly in the East, North East, and South. Please contact me if you would like to talk further about the Clark Circus.
Thanks, Virginia Clark Brown
I have the same vintage poster of M.L. Cark and Sons combined show, The greatest performance of acrobatic wonders ever exhibited. I can not find anything on it either on this poster. I do not think there is a great value. Should you find anything please share it with me – I will do the same.
Best regards. Yvon, Longueuil

When Bilbassy-Charters asked if he'd had any second thoughts, Bush replied: "I'm sure there will be. I mean, there's been some disappointments."
Q. "Like what?"
Bush: "Well, like, Abu Ghraib was a terrible disappointment. And admittedly, I wasn't there on the site, but I was the Commander-in-Chief of a military where these disgraceful acts took place that sent the absolute wrong image about America and our military.
If Bush is merely saying that Abu Ghraib was sending a message to the world that was inconvenient to the US, that "Dang, it's too bad word got out about this," then it's hard to disagree with his statement. If Bush is trying to claim that Abu Ghraib somehow didn't represent his administration, that this was a "rogue operation" of some sort, 'fraid not.
On March 11, 2008, House democrats (sic) failed to garner enough votes to override President Bush's veto of a bill that would have made it illegal for the CIA to use brutal "interrogation" techniques to extract information from suspected terrorists. The vote was 225 to 188, missing the two-thirds majority needed by 51 votes.
Yes, the vote was a clear majority, good for those 225 Congresspeople, but 188 of them showed themselves to be as morally bankrupt as their President demonstrated himself to be. No, Abu Ghraib may not represent America as a whole, but it most certainly represents a substantial group of Americans.
Does Abu Ghraib represent the US military?
Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) said he found the Pentagon report "very troubling" would hold hearings on how the SERE training methods "migrated" into Iraq and Guantanamo as the basis for interrogation. "They were put to a purpose that was never intended," he said. [emphasis added]
Unfortunately again, the answer is that while Abu Ghraib does not represent the whole of the US military, substantial sections are so corrupted that again, the term "morally bankrupt" is appropriate.
Q. "But some say, sir, that the removal of Saddam Hussein has bolstered Iran and make emergent as a regional superpower."
Bush: "I disagree completely with that. I think the emergence of a democratic and stable Iraq on Iran's border is in the -- will help more likely keep the peace vis-à-vis Iran in the Middle East. . . . "
Erm, Iran has been greatly strengthened by the US invasion of Iraq, says the Jerusalem Post.
And from the Asia Times:
In short, Bush had from the first facilitated the very event he warned would be a disastrous consequence of a US withdrawal from Iraq: the takeover of a large part of the country by an Iranian-backed militia. And while Bush contrasts the promise of democracy in Iraq with the tyranny in Iran, there is now substantially more personal freedom in Iran than in southern Iraq.
Not sure if calling Iran a "regional superpower" is entirely appropriate, but calling Iraq an emerging "democratic and stable" country is, well, it's a nice idea, says Americans, but "61 per cent of respondents think Iraq will probably never become a stable democracy."
Bush's attempt to whitewash history is running headlong into the reality of the situation.

A run on toilet paper left shelves empty across the US. But why did this happen? Turns out, it wasn't just hoarders' fault. Sure, panic buying was part of it. But coupled with a division between commercial and consumer manufacturing

In 1973, I was eight years old. My favorite TV show was the Saturday morning live action cartoon Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. The best thing in my toy chest was the Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle. I was learning how to subtract numbers with multiple digits when I wasn't distracted by my second grade crush, Constance Marie. And my favorite album to choose from the family record console was Al Green's I'm Still In Love With You.
The album was Green's fifth studio album and was the follow-up to his breakthrough record, Let's Stay Together. Both were released in 1972, which makes the year of Watergate and The Godfather the pivotal year in Green's musical career. He is expected to sing songs from both albums and others from a legendary career when he makes his long-awaited return to the Houston area April 30 at Smart Financial Centre
The question today is whether I'm Still In Love With You deserves consideration as the greatest R&B/soul album ever released. The answer is yes. The rest of this will be arguments for hoisting the album above seminal works like Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life or Rapture by Anita Baker, who also visits Smart in a few weeks. If you prefer a succinct, compelling argument on the brilliance of I'm Still in Love With You, on whether its nine tracks evoked precisely what Green and his trusted producer Willie Mitchell were striving for when they laid them at Royal Recording Studios in Memphis, then consider this: the record stirred feelings of romantic love in the heart of at least one eight-year-old boy. I could have been mired in an adolescent "girls are icky" world, but Al Green just wouldn't allow it. Instead, anytime I spied Connie hop-scotching at recess or choosing a book from the library, Al Green's "Simply Beautiful" soundtracked the moment.
That's how it must have been for grown folks everywhere who bought the album. At the time, Green was barreling towards a storied music career, one built on the foundation of two words: love and happiness. Whether the love and happiness were from carnal (early career) or divine (later work) inspiration, it didn't matter. There's joy in listening to Al Green preach those words song after song, over the years, the kind that makes appreciative listeners thank the fates for being born at the right time.
Consider the empirical evidence along with my admittedly biased opinions. Of his own discography, I'm Still In Love With You is the most popular record, the only platinum-selling album of Green's hit-fertile crop, the only one to crack the top five on the Billboard 200 album chart. Billboard ranks it among the top R&B albums of all time and Rolling Stone places it on its list of the top 500 albums ever of any genre. Two tracks from the album, the title song and "Look What You Done For Me," were top five hits on the U.S. pop charts.
A track-by-track rundown of the songs is like comparing the 1927 New York Yankees against other great baseball lineups. From needle drop to dead wax, I'm Still In Love With You is a murderer's row of homerun hits, songs written into the roster by Green, his writing partner Al Jackson, Jr. and graced by the prowess of The Memphis Horns. It starts strong with the titular track, a million-selling single which has been covered by artists like Seal, Al B. Sure! and Disclosure; to track two, "I'm Glad You're Mine," which hip-hop fans will recognize from the Eric B. & Rakim track, "Mahogany;" to the make-you-do-wrong-make-you-do-right sexiness of "Love and Happiness," track three. That track is arguably the best-known of all Al Green songs, one Vibe magazine once considered "perhaps his most perfect song," one Rolling Stone tabbed among the top 100 of the 500 greatest songs of all time. It's probably the one song I'd queue up if berserker probe aliens insisted on hearing a perfect soul song to keep from annihilating Earth for some weird (but weirdly acceptable) reason.

The next third of the album includes the spine-tingling genius of "Simply Beautiful," maybe the best example of Green's renowned falsetto on the collection. The song lays out expectations for the roles each person would play in an ideal relationship. It's sparse on lyrics, but flush with Green's amazing vocal range, a voice that turns moans and groans into vocab words only true music fans can define. There is no comparing his voice to others. Writers have tried to Frankenstein it into a beautiful creature stitched from Sam Cooke's gospel smoothness and Otis Redding's rugged tenderness, but it wasn't constructed in a lab. Even Green can't claim to be his own mad scientist. The voice was made by gods, not men.
Two of the best songs on the album are near its close. One is a cover of Kris Kristofferson's "For the Good Times." The melancholy rearview-mirror song was a Ray Price country hit and is devastating in Green's possession. The tune is slowed down to allow Green to draw out every line in a way that's so exact to the lyrics you can practically see two reluctant lovers' hands slipping away, right down to the brushing of their fingertips. That's followed by the afore-mentioned "Look What You Done for Me," a gold record that entered Billboard's charts while "Let's Stay Together" from his prior album was still charting. "Look What You Done for Me" is an expression of gratitude to someone who's helped another discover and cherish love and happiness. Al Green's greatest album did that for me nearly 50 years ago, it did it for others who have listened to it, too. That qualifies it as a great work of art and maybe the greatest of its category.
I don't know whatever happened to Constance Marie, but as I aged and experienced true romantic love in my life, the lessons of "I'm Still In Love with You" stayed with me. I'm certain they helped me know what's important over a 30-year marriage. To dedicate a line to the album and to its artists, let me say, before I forget, loving you baby is where it's at.
The legendary soul singer Al Green returns to the Houston area Tuesday, April 30 at Smart Financial Centre, 18111 Lexington in Sugar Land. With special guests Tank and the Bangas. $59.50 to $199.50.

Live from the Red Carpet: The 2004 Golden Globe Awards
Joan Rivers lets us know that when she scratches her cheek, it means the celeb she's talking to looks "like crap." Why can't TV be two-way so she can see me eyeing her Cruella DeVil-in-a-thrift-shop get-up and clawing my way through to my molars?
Golden Globe Arrivals
All this time I've mocked Joan, Melissa and E! for their tradition of flubs and naming mishaps, and here we have NBC, Dick Clark and a notably slicker, smoother, more professional production. And my God, but it's coma-inducingly dull. There ain't enough espresso in the world. Back to Joan and her sequined-yenta routine.
Golden Globe Awards
Three hours and counting, people:
8:00 It just occurred to me: Why is all this tape-delayed on the West Coast? We're being punished for being here? Do they realize we can tell the sun's out on TV, but not outside, or do they wait... what the %&#@ is this song? "Clint is making my day, she's from Freaky Friday"? Rob Lowe, Your Snow White Oscars shame is forgotten and forgiven. In fact, this crap makes it look like Aida.
8:05 Tim Robbins wins the first Globe for... aw, hell if you guys want a blow-by-blow, click here.
8:14 How long's Renee Zellwegger been talking?
8:26 The Office wins! No way! (That's the most excited I'll be all night.) Man, does it deserve it. And let me take this opportunity to once again beg: Please don't make an American version of this.
8:30 Angels in America wins! (Yes, I lied about the excitement.) Man, does it deserve it. (Now, why wasn't Justin Kirk nominated again?)
8:35 Charm and political bite? Meryl Streep wins my own personal award for best speech.
8:50 What more to say? If Jeffrey Wright hadn't won for Angels in America, I was gonna turn this thing off.
9:04 Bill Murray's still a very funny man. But why didn't he thank Scarlett Johansson?
9:14 Ricky Gervais! Ricky Gervais! Ricky Gervais! (Remember, I lied.)
9:23 Gwen Stefani doesn't win a thing for her Ultraman/Soviet bobsled team-inspired 'do. But she oughtta.
9:35 Sofia Coppola accepts. And what did Scarlett Johansson do to people on that set anyway?
10:07 Peter Jackson. After pulling off what he did with those three movies, anyone else would've been a crime.
10:15 Al Pacino. Absolutely. And he didn't even have to chew the scenery to do it.
10:48 Someone finally remembers how to say Scarlett Johansson.
10:53 Lord of the Rings! As Howard Dean would say, yeeeeeaaaahhharghh!
11:00 A night may come when a TV writer can stare at a glowing cathode-ray tube for five straight hours with no ill effects. But it is not this night. Oy, does my head hurt.
Cold Case
Points for using the Ella Fitzgerald-Louis Armstrong duet of "Stars Fell on Alabama" and The Ravens' "Lilacs in the Rain," even though those songs were recorded in the years after the murder occurred (which, admittedly, probably bothers only the music historians in the audience and freaks like me). But points off for throwing in the obligatory cheesesteak for local flavor. ("Hey, it's Philly cheesesteaks! Soft pretzels!"). And that one didn't look nearly greasy enough to bother with anyway.
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Larry worries about pushing an elastic cuff up his arm because it'll lose its stretchiness, and he's the crazy one? Try telling me that next time I reach for a paper towel and water dribbles all the way to my elbows because of saggy sleeves.
The L Word
Ah, lesbians. Some promiscuous, all thin, all beautiful running around in skimpy clothing, having spontaneous sex and seducing the new-to-L.A. straight girl into cheating on her boyfriend... and she's also thin and beautiful. When a group of guys in the San Fernando Valley come up with this stuff, it's porn. When women do, it's "groundbreaking." (And when networks do, it's Melrose Place.) My lesbian friends and their circles include a certain percentage of homely or dumpy buds, just as all social circles do. However, I still respect Bette for her ethical stand on the Jenny-Marina situation. And I certainly hope poor Tim notices that pesky laser-site dot flitting around his chest, zeroing in on his heart, and manages to sidestep before the trigger's pulled. But you know he won't.
The Big Yellow Taxi of Justice rolls on. I love Hack not because it breaks any rules, but because it follows them. Like the one that says when someone scrambles over a chain-link fence, his pursuers must either catch him at that point or let him get away because they're unwilling or unable to work that hard. Or when the two surly cops are introduced, they must be the ski-masked perpetrators of the vicious crime spree because that's what happened in Magnum Force. Perfect for a Saturday night when my brain's just not up to handling red herrings, surprises, or anything else requiring thought. (And no cheesesteaks!)
Parents: the Anti-Drug Ad "The Investigator"
Y'know, I don't think this is an upcoming John Waters farce or a Beastie Boys video after all.
What's On
Here I am at a friend's apartment, watching myself and colleague Daniel Coleridge on the TV Guide Channel's "Watercooler" segment of the new What's On. Their toddler looks from me to the me on the screen, back again, then back to me, all wide eyes and bafflement. Now, when this kid's object-permanence development is screwed up, who do you think they're gonna blame?
A mugger takes Carol's ring at gunpoint before the first commercial break. Hey, things can only get better from here. (While I'm thinking of it, didn't she look much cuter with short hair? Though supposedly men prefer women with long locks, so I'm probably alone in that.) Then into the middle of all of this steps... Clay Aiken. Huh? I haven't seen a musical celeb planted with that absurd a clank since... well, I'm gonna have to go back to The Doobie Brothers on What's Happening!!
Garnier Nutrisse Ad
"My hair color does something yours doesn't." Sarah Jessica Parker.
American Hot Rod
Hot rod maven Boyd Coddington's first challenge is a down-on-its-luck (real down) '56 Chevy, and the first complaint is all the body rot. Right there you know ol' Boyd's let himself get soft in warm, dry Southern California. Where I grew up, rust wasn't a blight on a car it was the car. My dad drove a '73 Pontiac Catalina wagon and a '75 Plymouth Valiant (the "custom" model, mind you) and after enough suburban-Philadelphia winters both were down to about 10 percent original steel and 90 percent porch screen, body putty, touch-up paint and even a little duct tape. And you never washed the road salt off because it was the only thing holding it all together. Boyd's work is impressive, alright. But he's no Ira J. Peck.

Our paid preparer due diligence compliance program has expanded. It now includes the earned income tax credit (EITC), the child/additional tax credit (CTC/ACTC), the other dependents (ODC), the American opportunity tax credit (AOTC) and/or the head of household (HOH) filing status.
|We look at the characteristics of returns claiming EITC, CTC/ACTC/ODC, AOTC and/or HOH completed by the same preparer and concentrate on questionable returns. We focus on a combination of characteristics that we know indicates the returns have a high likelihood of error and assign a risk level.
We assign an appropriate compliance treatment in line with the preparer's risk level. We consider what may be the cause of the errors:
The paid preparer due diligence compliance program takes a tiered approach depending on what category best fits the preparer. Our tiered approach includes educational letters, phone calls, visits, audits and, penalties. Some preparers may be barred from filing tax returns in extreme cases.
Why Have a Preparer Compliance Program?
We estimate around 24 percent of all EITC claims have some type of mistake which cost the government roughly $16 billion in 2017. We are completing a study for the ACTC and AOTC error rates and will have that information soon.
Some errors are caused by misinterpreting the law; some because the preparer accepted client-provided information at face value and others are outright fraud. You, as part of the tax preparation community, are crucial in reducing these errors since paid preparers complete the majority of returns claiming certain credits and/or the Head of Household filing status.
We know most paid preparers practice due diligence and prepare accurate credit and HOH returns for their clients. This preparer compliance program was developed to ensure you compete on a level playing field with your peers.
Where Do We Find Most Errors?
About 60 percent of EITC errors fall into three key categories:
- claiming a child who does not meet the relationship or residency tests,
- over-or under-reporting income or business expenses to maximize the credit, and
- filing as single or head of household when legally married.
The most common CTC/ACTC errors are:
- claiming the CTC/ACTC for a child who is over 16 years old at the end of the tax year,
- claiming the CTC/ACTC for a child who doesn't meet the dependent qualifying child requirements, and
- claiming the CTC/ACTC for a child who was not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national or a U.S. resident.
The most common AOTC errors are:
- claiming AOTC for a student who didn't attend an eligible educational institution,
- claiming AOTC for a student who didn't pay qualifying college expenses, and
- claiming AOTC for a student for too many years.
See tips for avoiding these errors
What are the Paid Preparer Compliance Treatments?
Preparers filing returns claiming questionable credits and HOH may receive any of the tiered treatments listed below:
- Reaching Out to Preparers
- Knock and Talk Visits
- Auditing for Due Diligence Compliance
- Barring Non-Compliant EITC Preparers from Completing Tax Returns
The IRS can assess a $500* (indexed for inflation) penalty per credit and/or HOH filing status to preparers who do not submit the Form 8867 PDF, Paid Preparers Due Diligence Checklist, with all EITC, CTC/ACTC/ODC, AOTC and/or HOH returns. The penalty for returns filed beginning in 2019 is $530 per credit/HOH per return up to a maximum of $2,120 per return. The form must be submitted electronically or attached to each return you mail in or give directly to your clients for filing. Find out more about the Form 8867 and the consequences of not completing or submitting it.
Find out more about the Consequences of Failing to Meet Your Refundable Credit Due Diligence Requirements
Educational Opportunities for Avoiding Errors
We reach out to preparers to provide education and other resources to help avoid errors and practice due diligence. This Tax Preparer Toolkit has a wealth of resources:
- Take the online Due Diligence Training Module, to help you refresh your tax law and due diligence knowledge. The training is available in English and Spanish and may qualify you for one continuing education credit.
- Learn how to meet your due diligence requirements while preparing returns with self-employment income using our Schedule C and Record Reconstruction Training. Plus, get tips on helping your clients reconstruct their business records.

Top 5 healthy summer sports
Use the summer to improve your healthy habits and develop your aerobic capabilities.
A summer vacation, next to relaxing, can be used for healthy and sport activities in which you will tighten your body, but also have a good time. Next to the must do swimming, water aerobics, Nordic walking or mountain climbing are a must, and for those who like thrills, there's windsurfing.
Summer is a good time to use your excess free time and energy and invest it into developing aerobic capabilities, improving healthy habits in your life and working on your own look.
Learn the best healthy summer activities!
Water aerobics for weaker swimmers
1. Swimming – if you are at the sea or near a pool, swimming is probably the healthiest body activity you can do. The danger from injury is minimal, and swimming can also have a positive effect on problems with the back, especially if you are swimming on your back. Of course, you need to be a good swimmer, don't eat before swimming, and be careful with sudden temperature changes in the hot summer months.
2. Water aerobics – often organized in hotel pools and therms, it's a great exercise for the whole body, and equally refreshing in the summer months. It's preferred by women, but today men do it commonly. It's good is swimming is too hard or you aren't a good enough swimmer.
3. Hiking – walking in nature, the mountain air or simply the pine wood forest somewhere at the sea will have a very positive, calming effect on your body and soul. If you are a social person or you have a chance to spend the day or two with loved ones, hiking in the form of a daily or two day trip, can be a great healthy social activity.
Adventurers love windsurfing
4. Nordic walking – a very healthy sport activity that will activate your whole body and increase your heart rate much more than just walking, which will additionally help you lose the excess calories. Unlike regular walking, the probability of injury is much lower, and the only lack is that you will have to spend a bit of money to get the right equipment.
5. Windsurfing & Stand Up Paddling– it will most suit those who want a bit more excitement and more complex motorist from sports. This sport affects the development of a strong endurance of the complete musculature. Classes are available today even for kids and are in various difficulties ranging from beginner to advanced.

Summary: Dean's pool hustle goes very wrong very fast.
Dean had really always wanted his own pool cue.
The kind you could disassemble into parts and lay in one of those fancy velvet cases like some kind of gangster. His usual practice of using the sticks that lined the bar walls was not quite as glamorous. It was like putting on a pair of rented bowling shoes.
Vaguely disgusting and strangely ill fit even if it was your exact size.
Every pool stick had a different feel and weight to it. Every time he hefted a new one it was almost like learning the game all over again. But people expected things from a player that carried in his own case. They used it to judge what kind of skill might lay in the ownership.
Dean wasn't very interested in advertising just exactly what he was capable of.
He picked the most likely one from the rack and after examining it, rolled it experimentally across the green felt of the playing field. It seemed even enough. It wasn't the best pick there, but he had done that on purpose. The man watching him select his weapon of choice did own his very own stick. Dean knew well enough that a man like that knew exactly how to gauge someone who walked to the table willing to take a bet.
If you were planning to relieve a guy of a weeks wages you had to at least make it appear it was by simple chance. Especially a guy three times your size who had at least a foot on you. Dean never spent copious amounts of time worrying about his personal safety. Especially in regards of other people. But he knew well enough who and who not to fuck around with. And if he hadn't waited all night for someone to play, and wasn't so strapped for cash, his better instincts would have sent him out the door before taking this guy for a ride.
Dean knew he had to play it right.
He watched the balls break across the table with a sense of duty.
It was important to let his mark think right off the bat that the first three games Dean had admirably fumbled through were legit. The stick a little too long and heavy for his style. A weekend player that had a few bills to burn in his pocket. A barely friendly bet between a man with a fancy case and a man that had to use the awkward warped piece of junk that the drunks had dropped on the beer soaked floor one too many times.
Dean let his money slide until the fourth game. It was then that he planned his surprising and so lucky bank shot right into the corner pocket. Several of the few spectators murmured amongst themselves when he sunk it, one even clapping him congratulatory on his shoulder.
His looming and muscled play mate didn't look very happy as the money started to slide in the other direction. That was OK with Dean, his play mates were never quite too happy at the end of the night after they played him anyway. This one was just a bit worrisomely larger than most.
Dean scratched a few just to keep everything on the level, glancing at his watch when he felt a yawn come on. Time to end this show. One more and he'd double or nothing, count his money and then get the hell out of here. Sooner better than later. The mark was watching him harder than he had at the start. He was getting the idea that Dean wasn't exactly what he had seemed.
To put the guy at ease, Dean accepted the offer of several shots of bourbon whiskey. After a little while, he happily accepted several more. All of that on top of a whole evening of beers and he was feeling pretty good.
Two balls in a row in opposite side pockets. Hell, no problem. He winked at a girl that was watching him and the game with equal interest.
He knew things were getting sloppy but this was the last game right? Soon he'd have all that green in his wallet and he could maybe see if this girl wanted to check out a vintage 1967 Chevy. Hazy with drink and without thinking too hard about it, he sank every single remaining shot to the amazement to those watching and the simmering ire of his opponent. What was the worst that could happen?
"What the hell is this?" His mark said in a very low and calm voice.
Dean looked up and attempted his best surprised shrug. "Must be my lucky night?"
The extremely large man studied him silently.
Rage he could deal with, ranting and raving was fine with him. It was this controlled anger that a guy had to watch out for. Nice and calm was no good. Dean noticed the regular bar patrons around them begin to back away.
Uh oh.
"Nobody's that lucky." He stepped closer.
Dean guessed he would find out what exactly was the worst that could happen. Reflexively stepping backwards, he bumped into another table behind him. His borrowed stick was yanked out of his hands. He ducked and hit the floor as it cracked down onto the edge of the table where he had been moments before. Dean looked up at the shattered splintered end of the cue gripped in the massive vise which was the guy's fist.
"Hey, if yer goin' to be like that about it why don't we just call it even--"
Dean saw white as a firm set of knuckles met him square in the face. Crash landing hard on his back, he felt the gritty concrete floor under the back of his head. This was not exactly going as he had planned. Well, it had been a while since someone caught him at his scam, he supposed he was due for a good plummelling. He waited for the next strike to come down from above.
Suddenly someone moved between them like a brick wall.
Dean blinked up.
There was Sam, matching the guy's height and staring him square in the eye. He didn't say anything. Dean was pretty glad for that because Sam didn't have a very convincing repertoire of incredibly threatening things to say anyway.
The man paused, unsure with the new and substantially larger person in the equation. It seemed his overwhelming need to pound Dean into the floor overcame his uncertainty about Sam. He stepped forward in challenge but Sam stood stock still blocking him. Chest to chest.
Sam slowly and deliberately shook his head in warning.
Turned out that maybe Dean wasn't worth the trouble after all. The man growled and grabbed up the fist full of all the cash on the table.
Dean sighed as he saw his winnings disappear into the guy's denim jacket before he turned and strode away. With a pained groan he sat up to watch the mildly intrigued crowd disperse. Gathered to witness his surely spectacular beating, they turned back to the bar and the loud televised hockey game. It reminded him that he was really gonna need some ice.
Sam grabbed his arm and hauled him up to his feet.
"I had it ya know." Dean murmured as he gingerly touched his face.
Sam half smiled.
"Yeah, yeah real funny." Dean looked around ruefully before straightening his jacket. "There goes our gas money."
Sam held up several crisp twenty dollar bills.
Dean stared.
"Where'd you get that??"
Sam pocketed the small and needed fortune back into his jean pocket.
"I bet the bartender that the big guy would knock the pool hustler on his ass before last call."
Dean felt his eyebrow raise and he begrudgingly nodded to himself. He swiftly followed Sam through the cluttered bar tables and drunken laughter, unwilling to linger any longer than need be. Sam had scored enough to fill the car through another state. Maybe even two.
He smiled to himself as he gently pressed the palm of his hand to his rapidly swelling eye.
It was hard to argue with results.

The Daggers leak five for the second successive away game in a big Conference defeat at Chester City's Dava Stadium. Hardy reports.

Sugden 7
Kelly (pen) 20
Bolland 61
Guyett 81
Sugden 90
Brown sent off 67
Terry 1
Bruce 35
Vickers sent off 53
Chester proceeded to dominate the rest of the game, taking the lead in the 61st minute through Phil
The game was evened up in the 66th minute. Chester keeper Wayne Brown became the second man to see red when adjudged to have handled outside his area in the 66th minute.
With no replacement keeper on the bench Chester were forced to use Chris
Blackburn as a makeshift replacement.
The Daggers couldn't take advantage of
this though, having just one serious shot in the remainder of the match despite
chasing the game with a couple of attacking substitutions. In fact taking off
Steve Heffer and Paul Terry in the 75th minute seemed to unbalance the midfield
and actually had a detrimental effect.
It was due to the gaps left by pushing forward that Chester closed the game out with two more goals from Scott Guyett
in the 81st minute and a second for Sugden in injury time to seal a comfortable win in the
end and leave the Daggers at the wrong end of five goals for a second successive
away game.

Walls: Heaven and Hell
You Lie!
Think not? Then explain why the "compromised" budget deal, supposedly worked out between the democrats and republicans, provides no funding for a wall, no cuts in federal funds to Sanctuary Cities and no cuts to Planned Parenthood.
But that's okay! You just keep believing that Trump and his entourage are here to "Make America Great Again."
Up next? A major distraction away from the lies of the "promises" made during election that just aren't happening and on to another lie about a "compromise" bill on Obamacare.
On a side note – I have a bridge in New York City I want to sell. Any takers?

Methods To Get Concert Tickets Safely Possibly Great Value From The Internet
Longtime country music fans remember time when the songs were traditional and the big names were super familiar. It changes when using the time. In 1989 there would be a new "class" that launched an important COUNTRY movement. Names like Clint Black, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Travis Tritt, and Mary Chapin Carpenter were all breakthrough artists that year. Interestingly it was they year one of our new leaders, Taylor Swift, to become.
What there has to be online alright? Practically everything. Signature label bags, books, puppies, DVDs, hand carpentry tools, used cars, houses and apartment for sale or rent, office chairs and other office furniture, Concert Tickets, and sports unit.
No matter theme you choose for your custom sweet sixteen invitations, you have to make sure they are simply a reflection in the young lady who you might be honouring on that that.
Quality sweet sixteen invitations are available on and make much better than what a person in the retail sector. You will also have something the actual reason one in regards to a kind. Within invitation marketing promotions campaigns to incorporate design elements that will inform the recipient what discovered that expect. With the graphics can easily easily convey whether the party is casual or formal, properly the dress code with the party. The actual venue, time and date can be woven in alongside graphic fonts and the anchor text.
He tries on the mask also it takes over him. He decides to return to the party, however, not without creating a lot of noise for the landlord incredibly. He then goes to vehicle shop and destroys the place. He wakes up the other morning without remembering what. A cop comes by and asks him about the disturbance that night. He knows it was him so he throws the mask out in the window. It finds its way returned.
I usually don't believe web sites when yet reservations must be made four days up front. There are always sites for walk-ups.right? Pulling in unannounced has (almost) always worked for me, but I'm not expecting my wing-it process of be valid this time. When vacationers of different types write camping into their belt-tightened budget, I end up being fending off campers with s'mores skewers — or worse, over sleeping my car by the medial side of the way. Pencil in your dates with this in mind: California state parks make sites available the first day every single month for six months out. Federally-operated sites will definitely be reservable six months time out besides. Definitely book panic at the disco 90210 least four days in innovation.

Children of Palestine
Experiencing Forced Migration in the Middle East

"…a methodical and fact-filled book. An indispensable contribution to the historical record of Palestinian refugees...[this volume] presents a multi-disciplinary, ethnographically rich approach…[It is] a highly convincing and often heart-breaking chronology of suffering. Specific but highly representative, selective but fundamentally factual, each chapter of the book unfolds the endless saga of Palestinian plight." · Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
"This is a useful resource for anyone working in Palestinian refugee camps. It is good to have such a positive study, one that clears away misconceptions of Palestinian youth as being either passive victims or political activists…Their ways of coping are valuable to us all, and without their voices we are poorer. I feel privileged to have had the chance to review this book." · Children and Society
"The book captures in poignant detail the experiences of the third and fourth generation of Palestinian exiles and provides a provocative look into Palestinian social dynamics across the divide of space and generation." · Journal of Palestine Studies
Palestinian children and young people living both within and outside of refugee camps in the Middle East are the focus of this book. For more than half a century these children and their caregivers have lived a temporary existence in the dramatic and politically volatile landscape that is the Middle East. These children have been captive to various sorts of stereotyping, both academic and popular. They have been objectified, much as their parents and grandparents, as passive victims without the benefit of international protection. And they have become the beneficiaries of numerous humanitarian aid packages which presume the primacy of the Western model of child development as well as the psycho-social approach to intervention. Giving voice to individual children, in the context of their households and their community, this book aims to move beyond the stereotypes and Western-based models to explore the impact that forced migration and prolonged conflict have had, and continue to have, on the lives of these refugee children.

Kitui county Governor Charity Ngilu on Wednesday visited angry Kanyonyoo market traders of Kitui Rural sub-county along Mwingi – Garissa road whose kiosks and property were vandalized over the weekend by the Kenya National Highways Authority.
Governor Ngilu said cases of demolition of Musangi's Kiosks was a characteristic of the former regime, which cared less for the welfare of the small scale traders,terming it barbaric and an insult to the people.A trait she will not allow.
"This is an outdated act that is unacceptable. KENHA should have given the traders a notice to vacate and clear their property rather than waking up to find their Kiosks demolished." She said.
However, the governor urged those whose properties were destroyed to record their belongings to the chairman of Kanyonyoo market so that she can offer them a land do continue doing their businesses.

Joseph Sadoc Alemany y Conill, O.P. (Catalan: Josep Sadoc Alemany i Conill; Spanish: José Sadoc Alemany y Conill; July 3, 1814 – April 14, 1888) was a Spanish Roman Catholic archbishop and missionary. He served as the first Bishop of Monterey from 1850 until 1853, and as the first Archbishop of San Francisco from 1853 until 1884.
Early life[edit]
Alemany was born in Vic, Catalonia, on July 3, 1814, to Antoni Alemany i Font and Miquela dels Sants i Saborit.
Alemany entered the Dominican Order in 1830 and made his solemn profession of religious vows in September 1831, the same year that his protégé, Patrick Manogue was born in Ireland. He was then sent to Rome to study at the College of St. Thomas in Rome, the future Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, commonly referred to as the Angelicum, where in 1840 he was made Lector in Theology.[1]
Alemany was ordained a priest in the cathedral of Viterbo on March 11, 1837 by Archbishop Gaspare Bernardo Pianetti.[2] During his studies in Rome, he had an audience with Pope Gregory XVI.
The Dominican superiors sent Alemany to the United States in 1840. For the next eight years, he engaged in missionary activity in the Eastern and Southern United States, eventually becoming a naturalized United States citizen.
In 1848, Alemany was appointed Prior Provincial of the Dominican Province of St. Joseph.
Summoned to Rome, Alemany met on June 11, 1850, with Cardinal Giacomo Filippo Fransoni, informed of his appointment as Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Monterey in California. Alemany replied, "No." Pope Pius IX ordered Alemany to a private audience on June 16. Pope Pius told Alemany, "You must go to California....Where others are drawn by gold, you must carry the Cross." Fransoni consecrated Alemany as Bishop of Monterey on June 30, 1850, in Rome; thus, becoming the first American bishop in California.[3]
Before leaving Europe, Alemany determined that he would need the help of a community of religious women for the education of the children of his new territory. He traveled around, visiting various monasteries of Dominican nuns. When he arrived in Paris, he went to the Monastery of the Cross there, where he presented his request for volunteers among the Dominican Sisters. He had one recruit, Sister Mary of the Cross Goemaere, O.P., a Belgian novice.
Alemany soon set sail with her and a fellow Dominican friar, Francis Sadoc Vilarrasa, O.P., arriving in San Francisco on December 6, 1850. Goemaere then founded a community in Monterey which was to become the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael.[4]
San Francisco[edit]
When the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco was erected July 29, 1853, Alemany was appointed by Pope Pius as its first archbishop. Alemany arrived in San Francisco finding three established Catholic parishes Mission Dolores (San Francisco de Asís) (1776), St. Francis of Assisi (1849) and St. Patrick (1851). As Archbishop of San Francisco, Alemany presided over what became a multinational diocese, owing to the influx of people during the California Gold Rush, and parishes were established for San Francisco's Italian, Irish, French, German and Mexican communities.[5]
Catholic religious institutes were also active during his tenure, with the Society of Jesus establishing Santa Clara University and the University of San Francisco, the De La Salle Christian Brothers taking over the diocesan Saint Mary's College, and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur establishing in San Jose the Notre Dame de Namur University, and the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary establishing in Oakland the Holy Names University. He and Vilarosa also founded the Dominican Province of the Most Holy Name in 1851, and the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael and Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose were established in the archdiocese in 1851 and 1876, respectively.
As Bishop of Monterey Alemany had filed a petition with the Public Land Commission on February 19, 1853 for the return of all former mission lands in California. As Archbishop of San Francisco he sought Fee Ownership of 1,051.44 acres (for all practical intents being the exact area of land occupied by the original mission buildings, cemeteries, and gardens) was subsequently conveyed to the Church, along with the Cañada de los Pinos (or College Rancho) in Santa Barbara County comprising 35,499.73 acres (143.6623 km2), and La Laguna in San Luis Obispo County, consisting of 4,157.02 acres (16.8229 km2).[6] The scope of his authority was large, as the Diocese of Monterey originally encompassed the entire area of the former Mexican province of Alta California, while the Archdiocese of San Francisco encompassed all of the state of California north of Monterey Bay as well as territories that would become Nevada and Utah. However, Alemany wished to return to missionary work and requested a coadjutor bishop. In 1883, Bishop Patrick William Riordan was appointed by Pope Leo XIII coadjutor, and would succeed Alemany upon the latter's resignation as archbishop in 1884.
After his resignation, Alemany left San Francisco in May 1885 to return to his homeland. In the course of the journey east he toured New York, was presented by Catholic General William Rosecrans to President Grover Cleveland. He arrived in Italy, having an audience with Pope Leo XIII and was appointed titular archbishop of Pelusium. Alemany returned to Catalonia. He died in Valencia, on April 14, 1888, and was buried in the Church of Sant Domènec in his native Vic.
In 1965, Alemany's body was brought back to San Francisco after a funeral Mass said by Archbishop Joseph T. McGucken at the Old Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception his remains were buried in the Archbishops' Crypt in the mausoleum in Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma, California.
He was an author, publishing his The Life of St. Dominick.
Alemany Boulevard and the Alemany Maze in San Francisco, Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills, California and the Archbishop Alemany Library at Dominican University of California in San Rafael are all named in his honor.
