Sustainability Tips for Small Businesses
This Earth Day, the U.S. and China will be signing the Paris Agreement on climate change, and while most of us don't have quite the same level of influence, it's the perfect time for small business owners to think about the environment on a more local scale. Sustainable business practices are increasingly popular for two very good reasons: They keep our communities healthier and they can save businesses a good chunk of money. According to the government's Energy Star site, most businesses could actually save anywhere from 2 to 10 percent simply through better energy management. According to the California Green Business Program, which focuses on small to medium-sized business, the average annual savings of a sustainable business is over $1,000.
Sustainability with Potatoes
When San Francisco Townsquared member Guenevere Blanchard, owner, CEO, and founder of 3 Potato 4, started thinking about opening a small business, she knew she wanted to offer her customers food that would be good for them and for the planet—a sustainable business, in other words. She chose potatoes because they're versatile and already quite popular, albeit in the not-so-healthful form of French fries. Like anyone looking for potatoes, she first thought of Idaho. Unfortunately, potatoes are such big business in Idaho that its potato farmers aren't regulated. Turns out, the best potatoes your money can buy come from Washington state. They have the highest organic standards, grow their potatoes from organic seeds at an altitude that keeps them away from potentially contaminated groundwater in pH-balanced soil.
3 Potato 4 serves fries, but as Blanchard likes to say, they're not French and they're not fried. Her fries are baked and served with an array of delicious (I speak from experience) homemade sauces—all of it organic, non-GMO, vegan, and gluten free. Not only does baking the fries mean they retain more of their natural goodness, in the form of vitamins and antioxidants, it means the business doesn't produce any oil waste.
In fact, 3 Potato 4 produces no garbage at all. They don't even have a garbage can. All of the napkins, plates, and other potato-eating paraphernalia are made from—wait for it—potatoes. Taterware is a readily-available and cost-effective compostable plastic manufactured from potato starch. Because they don't produce any garbage, 3 Potato 4 was able to negotiate their recycling fee.
And not cooking with oil means that the business doesn't need air vents, which saves money on build out when she opens a new shop. For restaurants looking to lower their environmental impact, Blanchard also recommends looking for equipment that qualifies for the Energy Star. Folks forget, she says, that the rating isn't only available for home appliances.
Of course, it's not just food businesses that can benefit from implementing sustainable practices. 42 Inc., an IT consultancy specializing in small to medium businesses and a Berkeley Townsquared member, has also been conscious of its environmental impact since opening its doors in 1992.
Making Sustainable Business a Practice
42 was the first East Bay small business to join City Car Share, signing up all its employees, and it donates used computer parts to local schools and non profits, among other environmentally conscious practices. As the Small Business Association (SBA) points out, "You can't manage what you can't measure," so 42 now uses TerraPass, which helps businesses offset their carbon footprint by purchasing renewable energy credits (REC) or BEF Water Restoration Certificates. Renewable energy credits are created for every megawatt-hour of renewable electricity—wind, solar, biomass, geothermal or other—generated and delivered to the power grid, and by purchasing the credits, a business supports the renewable electricity created and the environmental benefits that accrue from not creating that energy through fossil fuels.
Water Restoration Certificates are a program created by Bonneville Environmental Foundation and TerraPass in which water users are provided with "an economic incentive to devise new water management solutions that restore water to critically-dewatered ecosystems." Each certificate is equivalent to 1,000 gallons of water restored on the behalf of the purchaser and helps restore critical freshwater ecosystems. The program is reviewed by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to maintain quality and optimum benefit.
If your business already employs sustainable practices, don't be shy about letting your customers know. There's no shame in taking advantage of Earth Day for a little do-gooder brand glow—Earth Day is itself the product of successful marketing. In organizing the first Earth Day (originally named the National Environment Teach-In, which is just not quite as catchy), Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson chose the date in order to energize college students in particular. He looked for a day between spring break and exams that didn't conflict with religious holidays, and most April 22nds, at least in the short term, are still likely to have good weather.
If you haven't had the opportunity to start greening your business, here's something to think about. Earth Day has dramatically increased environmental awareness and, in the U.S., helped the passage of legislation like the Clean Water Act (1977). Yet, despite strengthened environmental protections, on the 46th Earth Day, the planet is warming up like the blue plate special under a heat lamp. In fact, as far as climatologists can tell, the only reason 2015 is still the hottest year on record is because 2016 isn't over yet.
To begin reducing your business's environmental impact, start by figuring out the business's carbon footprint, using one of the several free online calculators. You'll need your gas and electric bill to get the most accurate response. Terra Pass's calculator even includes an "event" option, in addition to the regular business operations one.
Energy Star offers a guide, Putting Energy into Profits, to help small businesses become more energy efficient, and the SBA devotes a section of their website to sustainable business practices. Envious of 3 Potato 4's zero garbage? Check out the SBA's section on Waste. If your business uses a lot of paper, you might consider switching to paper that produces less pollution during its production.
Not ready to dive into sustainable business practices yet? You can still help the environment, celebrate Earth Day, and get a little brand boost by supporting this year's theme, Trees for Earth (#trees4earth). The Earth Day Network is planting 7.8 billion trees, the first of five goals celebrating the countdown to its 50th anniversary, in 2020. That's a lot of trees, and they, and the earth, could definitely use your help.

- Intro
- Originally from Montréal, Canada, after 6 years in beautiful California, I'm back in Montréal. My wife and I took advantage of the move back home to take a seven months break and travel the world with an emphasis on the developing world. This is definitly a life changing experience (a positive change :). That was in the first half of 2003.
I brought with me a Canon Powershot S40 which was small enough to fit in my pocket and yet flexible enough to allow for manual settings. I carried a 10Gb portable HD and had just one flash card (128Mb) which I uploaded on the HD every night. We ended up with 6000 pictures on the HD when we flew home. After cleanup, 3000 are left. I made a slideshow with the best 500 which I sometimes show in a continuous loop on the TV when I host parties (very few can sit through a 500 pictures slideshow :).
Over the next few months, I will try to pick the most interesting ones. Not always to best pictures from a technical standpoint but also those which I shot without caring too much but that are depicting something that might interest some of you.
I hope you enjoy them. And feel free to criticize.

This was a rather bizarre adventure. Or should I say, point and click adventure? It is made by the German company called Daedalic Entertainment who are responsible for other titles like Deponia and The Whispered World (and those are in my library too). I would guess since this is not the only title I have from these guys, I might have gotten a bundle of these games at some point, still this was the 1st one I have played through so far. The perfect start for my little project.
The game was kinda entertaining. The beginning shocked me like crazy, since I was expecting a light hearted, cartoonish, kiddy flick while I got a pretty gruesome piece filled with the darkest humor known to humankind. This gave a really big boost for me in the beginning, but my interest slowly faded as it just simply got… well, boring after a while. The puzzles stopped being interesting and the only thing I still kept looking forward were the minigames.
I do have to mention that I am not the greatest living fan of point and click games, but I did play a lot of them and even if this is not my nr. 1 genre of choice, a good game will be a good game, no matter the type. And this one, I felt it fell flat after a while.
I have to add, that this was the 2nd episode of the game and I have not played the 1st one. Go figure, for some reason that was not in the bundle. This might be while I felt a bit unimpressed when some characters turned up during the game, expecting an applaus and the usual "oooh" from a fan. The game relied quite often on that, especially in the end, which again, didn't do it for me.
So who would I recommend this to? Definitely people who have played the previous installment and loved it. I think you guys would have way more fun with this than I had.
Playtime: ca. 7 hours

Its a remolded kiwi lockseed just like how mango was remolded into watermelon. The face will most likely trigger the european trumpet voice in the Sengouku Driver. Maybe this movie will be a flashback before genesis driver(i know about the Hase part this just makes it even clearer to be a flashback)
Bredd Pitz Says:
But Duke's Armored Rider form is still same as his original Genesis rider form.. I'm dissatisfied with this Toei.
Anonymous Says:
So, if there's a non-energy version of the lemon lockseed, then can we maybe get a banana-energy lockseed please? :)
ovidkid Says:
Why do I get the feeling that lemon arms is going to be a repainted mango arms with slight modifications
Anonymous Says:
Ah yes.You see how many things lockseeds we can get when more sound come from the lockseeds themselves.
Anonymous Says:
I don't pretend to know what Toei's setup is with suit design, but come on guys... They're focusing on Drive AND working on the next show. Do you really think they'd have time to work on anything else? It's a miracle Gaim Gaiden even exists. Go to it for the fiction and stop being so picky about visuals.
Lucky Ninja Says:
@ Anonymous June 25, 2015 at 8:13 AM
If they want to do Gaim Gaiden, they have to have time for things such as visuals and story, even though shows like Drive and Ghost are still being worked on. Just because Toei is working on other projects, Gaim Gaiden does not get an excuse to end up as bs.
Many viewers have high expectations of Gaim Gaiden because of the last one. In my opinion, Takatora's story was much better than that of Kaito's, but Kaito's story wasn't that bad. The visuals were on par with those in the show (although I would die for the visuals in the beginning of Drive vs. Gaim). Therefore, the reason the comments above are so picky is that Gaim has set a high standard and many people expect things from that standard.
Trainbow Says:
But it is similar to W and OOO. When OOO was being filmed W Returns movies were also being made. Its not like the movies will not be good. Theyll still be as Gaim as we remember it.
Taufan Ardianto Says:
I think many gaim fans and toys collector just dissapointed about TOEI resurrect the series in half hearted way

You may well be wondering why attorneys take issue in their demeanour of charging their professional work to their clients. Some of them prefer manual labour cases on a consideration idea time the others choose to effort on a horizontal charge per unit. But best attorneys tariff on a eventuality idea. Generally, it all depends on the variety of lawsuit which an several will ask an attorney to resoluteness. This nonfictional prose will lineman all astir the better mode of charging professional fees; the Contingency Basis.
Between the two modes of payment, number of the private ill health ineligible counsels finger pointing a measurement of the magnitude of the sum monetary system indemnification which his client was able to acquire. Commonly, this pct ranges from 30% to 40%, next again, depending on the attorney's picture on the intricacy of the casing and how such does the claimant can increase from it if ever the declare was acknowledged. Hence, in a few painless cases, a trial attorney may right assertion his patron with a some degrade charge per unit. This manner of charging their clients is what they call for as occurrence principle.
In eventuality basis, the attorney's fee is leechlike upon the occurrence of the allege. Meaning, he may get a proportion of the client's repayment if solely the maintain was favourite by the board or the protection company; other he may not get any amount from it if in case his client's asseveration was censured. However, this can be beneficial to some the purchaser and the attorney. Obviously, a licit counsel, who may complaint up to 40% of the whole amount of well economic damages, will have large fee depending on the amount that his punter has noninheritable. This would besides indicate that the bigger the amount of recovery, the large the cost of his professed fee.Post ads:

As for the client, he may not strain considerably on where on earth to stare for the capital to pay for his attorney's fee. It is fair close to hiring a court protector for free; as for the second until the crust was finally resolute. In several instances, an professional person may even get the incumbrance of paid for the requirements in directive for his client's maintain to tyro and afterwards track. These may embrace convention text and evidences such as as medical store and statements of the witnesses, hiring trained witnesses and submission fees among others. The lawyer may fitting add the damage after the asseveration succeeded.
In contrast, engaged in a occurrence principle is rather risky on the piece of the professional person. Aside from the riches he wishes to devote to pester the case, he may besides call for to bear a lot of pursue in command to win the legitimate fight. If not, he may voluminous every point together with the proportion of the possible reimbursement of his punter. It is so much close to indulgent wherein a organism spends jewels and physical exertion to come by winnings.
Finally, in inquiring for the authorization lawyer for a clear in your mind sort of case, an individualist should pass stress on how this lawful advocate charges his patron. This is to abstain from someone horror-struck in relation to the cost of his ratified services at the end of the suitcase.Post ads:

"This is something I never would've imagined myself doing," he told ESPN The Magazine. "Tennis players aren't jacked like football players, but we are certainly in good shape, and if my photo shows that in any way, that will be good."
The 6'9" Isner, who once used to call his belly his "reserve tank", turned down ESPN's offer to appear in the issue last year before mustering up his courage to be photographed nude in Palm Springs.
Though he shared that he'd "done a good job" of toning his stomach, he revealed the one area of his body he wish he could change.
"I would like to have a bigger chest, but right now, when I'm playing tennis, is not the time," he said. "A big upper body is not a great thing for tennis, and for me, flexibility is important. But when I'm done playing tennis -- which is hopefully a long way away -- I'll have time to work on that."
He also stated that the biggest challenge with his body was not his height, but rather "Keeping myself limber and not so stiff."
"I've been on the tour now for six years, so I've played a lot of matches and spent a lot of time on airplanes," he said. "When you take a long flight, you're sort of naturally stiff.
"Nowadays, I feel like I need to warm up five extra minutes to get myself feeling better. The most important part is lower-body activation to make sure my glutes and lower body are firing properly. That's when I'm feeling the best. I also travel with a chiropractor, and that's been beneficial. When we're on the road, he works with me every day."
Isner is the first ATP player to feature in the Body Issue since James Blake, who joined cover girl Serena Williams in the inaugural edition four years ago. The 2013 issue has eight different covers, featuring the likes of 77-year-old golfer Gary Player, Olympic volleyball champion Kerri Walsh Jennings and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick

It just got a little easier to sell homes here in Georgia.
At least some homes, that is.
On Monday, Governor Sonny Perdue just signed a law which gives buyers of qualified single-family residences a tax credit of up to $1,800. Combined with the $8,000 federal tax credit, potential homebuyers have a great incentive to act now.
The credit takes effect immediately, and it's available for the next six months.
And best of all, it's available to anyone who buys an eligible home, not just first-time homebuyers. And it's available for owner-occupied and non-owner occupied properties alike.
Those who do buy an eligible home can look forward to a tax credit of $1,800 or 1.2 percent of the purchase price, whichever is less. The credit must be taken over three years, and is non-refundable. It can also only be taken once.
So what's the catch? Well, not every home is eligible.
What homes are? Single-family homes that were for sale on or before May 11, owner-occupied residences with an owner who was in default of their mortgage as of March 1, or REO property held by the lender or the lender's agent.
That will ultimately leave a lot of homes out in the cold, as new listings will be ineligible for the credit. Still, it is a welcome sign that the legislature is committed to stabilizing and jumpstarting Georgia's real estate market, and to revitalize Georgia's economy.
And for those homes which are eligible for the credit – a little extra incentive for a potential purchaser can't hurt!

By this point, we all know about Steve Jobs' stance on naughty words and images. From Apple's now-infamous App Store porn ban (which, depending on the day, may or may not include photos of bikini-clad women) to the company's recent patent on sext-censoring technology, Jobs and his team have worked hard to keep their platform a chaste and pure place.
Now, it looks like Apple is extending its smut-squashing authority into the realm of music. Or at least music promotion.
Apple's latest magical innovation, according to the crew at All Things Digital, is a set of "best practices" (read: requirements) for artists wanting to be a part of its Ping community. Ping -- not to be confused with Bing, Sling, Ning, or Beijing -- is the iTunes-connected social network Apple launched along with iTunes 10 last month. Artists wishing to establish a Ping profile, Apple's document explains, need to follow a series of "iTunes content policies" in order to make the cut.
Apple content rule #1:
• "Videos, photos, and text posts should not contain pornography, hate speech, racism, nudity, or any references to or depictions of drug use."
Good luck promoting your latest single, Ke$ha. Or any other artist who doesn't stick to Bieber-like, G-rated lyrics (paging The Doors...).
In addition to the sex and drugs ban, Apple is putting the kibosh on external links -- things that point people to bands' Web sites, for example, or social media pages. You know, things that actually benefit the artist.
Apple content rules #2, 3, and 4:
• "Posts should not include advertisements or links to sites outside of iTunes."
• "Posts should not contain links to other content providers."
• "URLs should not be included in the About section of your artist profile. This includes official artist website URLs. URLs can only be posted in the Event feed."
Sorry, Charlie. We all know the drill, though: If you want to play in Apple's garden, you have to play by Apple's rules.
Hey, if you think it's bad now, just imagine what Steve Jobs must have been like as a child.

Voyeur lesbian sex
I came home the other day to my girlfriend fucking around with another girl! If it was a guy I would have flipped the fuck out, but thankfully it was some chick. Things have been kind of stale lately between us, so I decided to even the playing field by fucking her playmate. I like it when my GF sits there and watches. What a whore!
Homemade voyeur sex
Me and Billi work together at a strip club. I always tease her about showing up one day at her house surprising her and her boyfriend. I decided that today, be that day. And I was happy to fuck both of them. I like me a good mff session!
Voyeur in public
Guys! I was out testing my new camcorder. And I almost got my head cracked in by this hot girls boyfriend because he caught me filming them fucking. So you guys better enjoy this real footage cause it was fuckin risky shooting it.
This girl is fucked up! I was following around my buddy Paulie from the porn shop, and its true, this guy fucks all sorts of girls everywhere! The bouncy titted bitch he was with does it in public even when people are driving by and watching her. You gotta love sluts!

Jackson or Jackson City is the capital and the most populous city of the U.S. state of Mississippi. It is one of two county seats of Hinds County (the town of Raymond is the other),[4] but the city also contains areas in Madison and Rankin Counties. The 2000 census recorded Jackson's population at 184,256, but according to July 1, 2008 estimates, the city's population was 173,861 and its five-county metropolitan area had a population of 537,285.[5][6] The Jackson-Yazoo City combined statistical area, consisting of the Jackson metropolitan area and Yazoo City micropolitan area, has a population of 565,749, making it the 88th-largest metropolitan area in the United States.[7]
The current slogan for the city is Jackson, Mississippi: City with Soul.[8] The city is named after President Andrew Jackson.
The area which is now Jackson was originally part of the Choctaw Nation. Under pressure from the US government, the Choctaw Native Americans agreed to removal from all lands east of the Mississippi River under the terms of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830.[9] Although many Choctaws then moved to present-day Oklahoma, a significant number chose to stay in their homeland, citing Article XIV of the treaty.[10] Today, most Choctaws, who are part of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, live on several Indian communities located throughout the state. The largest community is located in Choctaw, MS, 100 mi (160 km) northeast of the city.
The area that is now Jackson was initially referred to as Parkerville[11] and was settled by Louis LeFleur, a French Canadian trader, along the historic Natchez Trace trade route. The area then became known as LeFleur's Bluff.[12] LeFleur's Bluff was founded based on the need for a centrally located capital for the state of Mississippi. In 1821, the Mississippi General Assembly, meeting in the then-capital of Natchez, had sent Thomas Hinds (for whom Hinds County is named), James Patton, and William Lattimore to look for a site. After surveying areas north and east of Jackson, they proceeded southwest along the Pearl River until they reached LeFleur's Bluff in Hinds County. Their report to the General Assembly stated that this location had beautiful and healthful surroundings, good water, abundant timber, navigable waters, and proximity to the trading route Natchez Trace. And so, a legislative Act passed by the Assembly on November 28, 1821, authorized the location to become the permanent seat of the government of the state of Mississippi.
Jackson is named after the seventh President of the United States, Andrew Jackson, in recognition for his victory in the Battle of New Orleans.
During the late 18th century and early 19th century, the area was traversed by the Natchez Trace, on which a trading post stood before a treaty with the Choctaw, the Treaty of Doak's Stand in 1820, formally opened the area for non-native American settlers.
Jackson was originally planned, in April 1822, by Peter Van Dorn in a "checkerboard" pattern advocated by Thomas Jefferson, in which city blocks alternated with parks and other open spaces, giving the appearance of a checkerboard. This plan has not lasted to the present day.
The state legislature first met in Jackson on December 23, 1822.
In 1839, Jackson was the site of the passage of the first state law that permitted married women to own and administer their own property.
Jackson was first linked with other cities by rail in 1840. An 1844 map shows Jackson linked by an east-west rail line running between Vicksburg, Raymond, and Brandon. Unlike Vicksburg, Greenville, and Natchez, Jackson is not located on the Mississippi River, and did not develop like those cities from river commerce. Instead, railroads would later spark growth of the city in the decades after the American Civil War.
Despite its small population, during the Civil War, Jackson became a strategic center of manufacturing for the Confederate States of America. In 1863, during the campaign which ended in the capture of Vicksburg, Union forces captured Jackson during two battles—once before the fall of Vicksburg and once after the fall of Vicksburg.
On May 13, 1863, Union forces won the first Battle of Jackson, forcing Confederate forces to flee northward towards Canton. On May 15, Union troops under the command of William Tecumseh Sherman burned and looted key facilities in Jackson, a strategic manufacturing and railroad center for the Confederacy. After driving the Confederate forces out of Jackson, Union forces turned west once again and engaged the Vicksburg defenders at the Battle of Champion Hill in nearby Edwards. The siege of Vicksburg began soon after the Union victory at Champion Hill. Confederate forces began to reassemble in Jackson in preparation for an attempt to break through the Union lines surrounding Vicksburg and end the siege there. The Confederate forces in Jackson built defensive fortifications encircling the city while preparing to march west to Vicksburg.
Confederate forces marched out of Jackson to break the siege of Vicksburg in early July 1863. However, unknown to them, Vicksburg had already surrendered on July 4, 1863. General Ulysses S. Grant dispatched General Sherman to meet the Confederate forces heading west from Jackson. Upon learning that Vicksburg had already surrendered, the Confederates retreated back into Jackson, thus beginning the Siege of Jackson, which lasted for approximately one week. Union forces encircled the city and began an artillery bombardment. One of the Union artillery emplacements still remains intact on the grounds of the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. Another Federal position is still intact on the campus of Millsaps College. One of the Confederate Generals defending Jackson was former United States Vice President John C. Breckenridge. On July 16, 1863, Confederate forces slipped out of Jackson during the night and retreated across the Pearl River. Union forces completely burned the city after its capture this second time, and the city earned the nickname "Chimneyville" because only the chimneys of houses were left standing. The northern line of Confederate defenses in Jackson during the siege was located along a road near downtown Jackson, now known as Fortification Street.
Today there are few antebellum structures left standing in Jackson. One surviving structure is the Governor's Mansion, built in 1842, which served as Sherman's headquarters. Another is the Old Capitol building, which served as the home of the Mississippi state legislature from 1839 to 1903. There the Mississippi legislature passed the ordinance of secession from the Union on January 9, 1861, becoming the second state to secede from the United States.
In 1875 the Red Shirts were formed, one of a second wave of insurgent paramilitary organizations that essentially operated as "the military arm of the Democratic Party" to take back political power from the Republicans and to drive blacks from the polls.[13] Democrats regained control of the state legislature in 1876. The constitutional convention of 1890, which produced Mississippi's Constitution of 1890, was also held at the capitol. This was the first of new constitutions or amendments ratified in southern states through 1908 that effectively disfranchised African Americans and poor whites, through provisions making voter registration more difficult: such as poll taxes, residency requirements, and literacy tests. These provisions survived a Supreme Court challenge in 1898.[14][15] As 20th century Supreme Court decisions began to find such provisions unconstitutional, Mississippi and other southern states rapidly devised new methods to continue disfranchisement of most blacks.
The so-called New Capitol replaced the older structure upon its completion in 1903, and today the Old Capitol is a historical museum. A third important surviving antebellum structure is the Jackson City Hall, built in 1846 for less than $8,000. It is said that Sherman, a Mason, spared it because it housed a Masonic Lodge, though a more likely reason is that it housed an army hospital.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Eudora Welty was born in Jackson in 1909, lived most of her life in the Belhaven section of the city, and died there in 2001. Her memoir of development as a writer, One Writer's Beginnings (1984), presented a charming picture of the city in the early 20th century. The main Jackson Public Library was named in her honor.
Highly acclaimed African-American author Richard Wright, a native of Roxie, Mississippi, lived in Jackson as an adolescent and young man in the 1910s and 1920s. He related his experience in his memoir Black Boy (1945). He described the harsh and largely terror-filled life poor African-Americans experienced in the South and northern ghettos under segregation in the early twentieth century.
Jackson's economic growth was stimulated in the 1930s by the discovery of natural gas fields nearby.
During World War II, Hawkins Field in northwest Jackson became a major airbase. Among other facilities and units, the Royal Netherlands Military Flying School was established there, after Nazi Germany occupied the Netherlands. From 1941, the base trained all Dutch military aircrews.
Since 1960, Jackson has undergone a series of dramatic changes and growth. As the state capital, it became a site for civil rights activism that was heightened by mass demonstrations during the 1960s. On May 24, 1961, during the African-American Civil Rights Movement, more than 300 Freedom Riders were arrested in Jackson for disturbing the peace after they disembarked from their bus. They were riding the bus to demonstrate against segregation on public transportation.[16] Although the Freedom Riders had intended New Orleans, Louisiana as their final destination, Jackson was the farthest that any of them managed to travel.
Efforts to desegregate Jackson facilities began before the Freedom Rides when nine Tougaloo students were arrested for attempting to read books in the "white only" public library. Founded as a historically black college (HBCU) by the American Missionary Movement after the Civil War, Tougaloo College brought both black and white students together to work for civil rights. It also created partnerships with neighboring mostly white Millsaps College to work with student activists. It has been recognized as a site on the Civil Rights Trail by the National Park Service.[17] After the Freedom Rides, students and activists of the Freedom Movement launched a series of merchant boycotts,[18] sit-ins and protest marches,[19] from 1961 to 1963.
In Jackson, shortly after midnight on June 12, 1963, Medgar Evers, civil rights activist and leader of the Mississippi chapter of the NAACP, was murdered by Byron De La Beckwith, a white supremacist. Thousands marched in his funeral procession to protest the assassination.[20] In 1994, prosecutors Ed Peters and Bobby DeLaughter finally obtained a murder conviction of De La Beckwith. A portion of U.S. Highway 49, all of Delta Drive and Jackson-Evers International Airport was named in honor of Medgar Evers. During 1963 and 1964, organizers did voter education and voter registration. In a pilot project, they rapidly registered 80,000 voters across the state, demonstrating the desire of African Americans to vote. In 1964 they created the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party as an alternative to the all-white state party, and sent an alternate slate of candidates to the national party convention.
Mississippi continued segregation and the disfranchisement of most African Americans until after the Civil Rights Movement gained passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Acts of 1965. In June 1966, Jackson was also the terminus of the James Meredith March, organized by James Meredith, the first African-American to enroll at the University of Mississippi. The march, which began in Memphis, Tennessee, was an attempt to garner support for implementation of civil rights legislation. It was accompanied by a new drive to register African-Americans to vote in Mississippi. In this latter aim, it succeeded in registering between 2,500 and 3,000 black Mississippians to vote. The march ended on June 26 after Meredith, who had been wounded by a sniper's bullet earlier on the march, addressed a large rally of some 15,000 people in Jackson.
In September 1967 the Ku Klux Klan bombed the synagogue building of the Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, and in November bombed the house of its rabbi, Dr. Perry Nussbaum.[21]
Gradually the old barriers came down. Since then, both whites and African Americans in the state have had a high rate of voter registration and turnout.[22]
The first successful cadaveric lung transplant was performed at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson in June 1963 by Dr. James Hardy. Hardy transplanted the cadaveric lung into a patient suffering from lung cancer. The patient survived for eighteen days before dying of kidney failure.
Since 1968, Jackson has been the home of Malaco Records, one of the leading record companies for gospel and soul music in the United States. In January 1973, Paul Simon recorded the songs "Learn How To Fall" and "Take Me To the Mardi Gras", found on the album There Goes Rhymin' Simon, in Jackson at the Malaco Recording Studios. Many well-known Southern artists recorded on the album including the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (David Hood, Jimmy Johnson, Roger Hawkins, Barry Beckett), Carson Witsett, the Onward Brass Band from New Orleans and others.
On May 15, 1970 police killed two students and wounded 12 at Jackson State University (then called Jackson State College) after a protest of the Vietnam War included overturning and burning some cars. These killings occurred ten days after the National Guard killed four students in an anti-war protest at Kent State University in Ohio, and were part of national social unrest.[23] Newsweek cited the Jackson State killings in its issue of 18 May when it suggested that U.S. President Richard Nixon faced a new home front.
In 1997, Harvey Johnson, Jr. became the city's first African-American mayor. During his term, he proposed the creation of a convention center, in hopes of attracting business to the city. In 2004, during his second term, 66 percent of the voters passed a referendum for a tax to build the Convention Center.[24] As a result of this vote, many new development projects are underway in Downtown Jackson.
Mayor Johnson was replaced by Frank Melton on July 4, 2005. Melton has subsequently generated controversy through his unconventional behavior, which has included acting as a law enforcement officer. A dramatic spike in crime has also ensued, despite Melton's efforts to reduce crime. The lack of jobs has contributed to crime.[25]
2007 saw a historic first for Mississippi as Hinds County sheriff Malcolm McMillin was appointed as the new police chief in Jackson. McMillin was both the county sheriff and city police chief until 2009 when he stepped down due to the disagreements with the current mayor. Mayor Frank Melton died in May 2009 and City Councilman Leslie McLemore served as acting mayor of Jackson until July 2009 when former Mayor Harvey Johnson assumed the Mayor position.[26]
Jackson is located on the Pearl River, and is served by the Ross Barnett Reservoir, which forms a section of the Pearl River and is located northeast of Jackson on the border between Madison and Rankin counties. A tiny portion of the city containing Tougaloo College lies in Madison County, bounded on the west by I-220 and on the east by US 51 and I-55. A second portion of the city is located in Rankin County. In the 2000 census, 183,723 of the city's 184,256 residents (99.7%) lived in Hinds County and 533 (0.3%) in Madison County. Although no Jackson residents lived in the Rankin County portion in 2000, that figure had risen to 72 by 2006.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 106.8 square miles (276.7 km²), of which, 104.9 square miles (271.7 km²) of it is land and 1.9 square miles (5.0 km²) of it is water. The total area is 1.80 percent water.
Jackson sits atop the Jackson Volcano and is the only capital city in the United States to have this feature. The peak of the volcano is located 2900 feet directly below the Mississippi Coliseum.[27]
Jackson possesses a humid subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers and mild winters. Rain is evenly spread throughout the year, and snow can fall in wintertime, although heavy snowfall is relatively rare. Much of Jackson's rainfall occurs during thunderstorms. Thunder is heard on roughly 70 days per annum. Jackson lies in a region prone to severe thunderstorms which can produce large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes. Among one of the most notable tornado events was the F5 Candlestick Park Tornado on March 3, 1966 which destroyed the shopping center of the same name and surrounding businesses and residential areas killing 19 in South Jackson.

Jackson remained a small town for much of the 19th century. Before the American Civil War, Jackson's population remained small, particularly in contrast to those towns located along the commerce-laden Mississippi River. Despite the city's status as the state capital, the 1850 census counted only 1,881 residents, and by 1900 the population of Jackson had grown only to approximately 8,000. It was during this period, roughly between 1890 and 1930, that Meridian became Mississippi's largest city. By 1944, Jackson's population had risen to some 70,000 inhabitants. Since that time, it has continuously been the largest city in the state. Large-scale growth, however, did not come until the 1970s, after the turbulence of the Civil Rights Movement. The 1980 census counted over 200,000 residents in the city for the first time. Since then, Jackson has steadily seen a decline in its population, while its suburbs have evidenced a boom.
As of the census[2] of 2000, there were 184,256 people, 67,841 households, and 44,488 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,756.4 people per square mile (678.2/km²). There were 75,678 housing units at average density of 278.5/km² (721.4/sq mi). The racial makeup of the city was 70.6% Black or African American, 27.8% White, 0.1% Native American, 0.6% Asian, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 0.2% from other races, and 0.7% from two or more races. 0.8% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
There were 67,841 households out of which 39.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 35.4% were married couples living together, 25.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and 34.4% were non-families. 28.9% of all households were made up of individuals and 9.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.61 and the average family size was 3.24. Same-sex couple households comprised 0.8 % of all househoulds.[29]
The age of the population was spread out with 28.5% under the age of 18, 12.4% from 18 to 24, 29.1% from 25 to 44, 19.1% from 45 to 64, and 10.9% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 31 years. For every 100 females, there were 86.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 81.5 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $30,414, and the median income for a family was $36,003. Males had a median income of $29,166 versus $23,328 for females. The per capita income for the city was $17,116. About 19.6% of families and 23.5% of the population were below the poverty line, including 33.7% of those under age 18 and 15.7% of those age 65 or over.[30]
Jackson ranks number 10 in the nation in concentration of African-American same-sex couples.[31]
In 2006, the Center for Immigrant Studies found Mississippi had the highest rate of growth in immigrant population of all states. The Jackson metro area is one of the South's emerging destinations for immigrants.
The 14th annual (2007) "City Crime Rankings: Crime in Metropolitan America" ranks Jackson as the 23rd most dangerous city in America. [32]
According to Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reports, from 2005 to 2008, violent crime jumped 238% in Jackson - from 1,225 reported incidents in 2005 to 4,140 in 2008. Also, while the city's population decreased 3% from 180,400 in 2005 to about 175,000 in 2008, property crime increased more than 8%, from 12,008 reported incidents in 2005 to 13,042 in 2008. [33]
According to an FBI report released in June 2009, Jackson's murder rate ranked 4th in the nation, behind New Orleans, St. Louis, and Baltimore, with a rate of 36 per 100,000 residents in 2008.[34] For burglaries, it ranked second, behind Flint, Michigan, with a rate of 248 per 100,000 residents.[34] While violent crime was up 9.3% and property crimes went up 4.6% in the year of the FBI report, nationwide violent crime fell 2.5% and property crime fell by 1.6%.[34]
Jackson is served by Jackson-Evers International Airport, located at Allen C. Thompson Field, east of the city in Flowood in Rankin County. Its IATA code is JAN. The airport has non-stop service to 12 cities throughout the United States and is served by 6 scheduled carriers (American, Delta, Continental, Southwest, Northwest, and US Airways)
On 22 December 2004, Jackson City Council members voted 6-0 to rename Jackson International Airport in honor of slain civil rights leader and field secretary for the Mississippi chapter of the NAACP, Medgar Evers. This decision took effect on 22 January 2005.
Formerly Jackson was served by Hawkins Field Airport, located in northwest Jackson, with IATA code HKS, which is now used for private air traffic only.
Underway is the Airport Parkway project. The environmental impact study is complete and final plans are drawn and awaiting Mississippi Department of Transportation approval. Right-of-way acquisition is underway at an estimated cost of $19 million. The Airport Parkway will connect High Street in downtown Jackson to Mississippi Highway 475 in Flowood at Jackson-Evers International Airport. The Airport Parkway Commission consists of the Mayor of Pearl, the Mayor of Flowood, and the Mayor of Jackson, as the Airport Parkway will run through and have access from each of these three cities.

Jackson is served by the Canadian National Railway. The Kansas City Southern Railway also serves the city. The Canadian National has a medium-sized yard downtown which Mill Street parallels and the Kansas City Southern has a large classification yard in Richland. Amtrak, the national passenger rail system, provides service to Jackson. The Amtrak station is located at 300 West Capitol Street. Amtrak's southbound City of New Orleans provides service from Jackson to New Orleans and some points between. The northbound City of New Orleans provides service from Jackson to Memphis, Carbondale, Champaign-Urbana, Chicago and some points between. Efforts to establish service with another Amtrak train, the Crescent Star, an extension of the Crescent westward from Meridian, Mississippi to Dallas, Texas, failed in 2003.
Jackson is home to several major industries. These include electrical equipment and machinery, processed food, and primary and fabricated metal products. The surrounding area supports agricultural development of livestock, soybeans, cotton, and poultry.
The following companies are headquartered in Jackson:
In 1985, Jackson voters opted to replace the three-person mayor-commissioner system with a city council. Jackson's city council members represent the city's seven wards, and the body is headed by the mayor who is elected by the entire city.
Jackson's current mayor is Harvey Johnson, Jr..
Saks Incorporated operates its Jackson Operations Center in Jackson.[36]
Jackson is home to the international headquarters of Phi Theta Kappa, an honor society for students enrolled in two-year colleges.
Jackson is a city famous for its music - including Gospel, Blues, and R&B. Jackson is also home to the world famous Malaco Records recording studio. Many notable musicians hail from Jackson.
Rap rocker Kid Rock made a song about Jackson, aptly titled "Jackson, Mississippi", in 2003.
The Rolling Stones sat "in a bar tippling a jar in Jackson" in their song 'Country Honk' on the 1969 album 'Let It Bleed'. "And on the street the summer sun it shines. There's many a bar-room queen I've had in Jackson, but I just can't seem to drink you off my mind."
"Jackson" is a song written by Jerry Leiber and Billy Edd Wheeler about newlyweds making the discovery that, after jumping much too quickly into marriage, the "fire" has gone out of their relationship. They both want to go to Jackson, where each looks forward to a new life free of the other. Although the song does not specify whether Jackson, TN or Jackson, MS is the destination, the lyrics do clearly reference gambling. During the period from the 1920s until the 1960s, illegal gambling casinos flourished on the east side of the Pearl River, along the original U.S. Route 80 just outside the city of Jackson, MS in Flowood. The infamous casinos might have been the inspiration for those lyrics.
In any event, the best-known single releases of the song include the 1968 Grammy Award winner by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, and the hit Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood version from the same year. Much later, the song was performed by Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon (playing Johnny Cash and June Carter) in the 2005 film Walk the Line.
Those illegal casinos referenced (perhaps) by the song, along with bootleg liquor stores and nightclubs, made up the Gold Coast, a strip of mostly black-market businesses which operated for decades along Flowood Road, just across the Pearl River from downtown Jackson. Though it existed outside the law, the Gold Coast was a thriving center of nightlife and music, with many local blues musicians appearing in the clubs regularly. The Gold Coast disappeared after Mississippi's prohibition laws were repealed in 1966, allowing Hinds County, including Jackson, to go "wet". [37]
In 1978, the USA International Ballet Competition was founded in Jackson by Thalia Mara, who is also the namesake of Thalia Mara Hall where the competition is held. The following year saw the first USA International Ballet Competition held as part of the worldwide International Ballet Competition (IBC), which itself originated in Varna, Bulgaria in 1964. The competition eventually expanded to rotating annual events between Jackson, Varna, Moscow and Tokyo. It was in 1979 that the event first came to the United States, to Jackson, where it now returns every four years. The rotation is currently among Jackson, Varna, Helsinki, Finland, and Shanghai, China. Jackson has been the host of the IBC in 1979, 1982, 1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006. The next competition in Jackson will be in 2010. The United States Congress recognized Jackson and the USA IBC by passing a Joint Resolution in 1982 that designated Jackson as the official home of the USA IBC.[38]
Jackson, Mississippi received its first Mississippi Blues Trail designation. The ceremony was held and the historic marker placed on the former site of the Subway Lounge on Pearl Street. The Subway Lounge was in the basement of the old Summers Hotel, one of two hotels available as lodging to blacks before desegregation when it opened in 1943. In the 1960s, the hotel added a lounge in the basement that featured jazz. In the 1980s, when the lounge was revived, it was catered to late night blues performers. In 2002, the Subway Lounge was filmed for a documentary entitled Last of the Mississippi Jukes.[39][40]
Currently, Jackson is experiencing $1.6 billion in downtown development.[41] Among the projects include improvements to or construction of the following:
|Regions Plaza (formerly AmSouth)
|97 m
|Jackson Marriott Downtown
|78 m
|Regions Bank Building (formerly AmSouth)
|77 m
|Standard Life Building

Jackson is the birthplace of many notable people. From writers Eudora Welty and Willie Morris and civil rights leaders Medgar Evers and James Meredith to rapper David Banner, jazz legend Cassandra Wilson, blues pianist Otis Spann and sports stars Fred Smoot, Jim Gallagher, Jr. and Monta Ellis. Actors, artists, authors, cooks, inventors, musicians, painters, sports figures and more, Jackson has contributed significantly to America's culture.

JACKSON, a city and the county-seat of Hinds county, Mississippi, U.S.A., and the capital of the state, on the W. bank of the Pearl River, about 40 m. E. of Vicksburg and 185 m. N. of New Orleans, Louisiana. Pop. (1890), 5920; (1900), 7816, of whom 4447 were negroes. According to the Federal census taken in 1910 the population had increased to 21,262. Jackson is served by the Illinois Central, the Alabama & Vicksburg, the Gulf & Ship Island, New Orleans Great Northern, and the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railways, and during the winter by small freight and passenger steamboats on the Pearl River. In Jackson is the state library, with more than 80,000 volumes. The new state capitol was finished in 1903. The old state capitol, dating from 1839, is of considerable interest; in it were held the secession convention (1861), the "Black and Tan Convention" (1868), and the constitutional convention of 1890, and in it Jefferson Davis made his last speech (1884). Jackson is the seat of Millsaps College, chartered in 1890 and opened in 1892 (under the control of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South), and having, in 1907-1908, 12 instructors and 297 students; of Belhaven College (non-sectarian, 1894), for girls; and of Jackson College (founded in 1877 at Natchez by the American Baptist Home Mission Society; in 1883 removed to Jackson), for negroes, which had 356 students in 1907-1908. The city is a market for cotton and farm products, and has a number of manufactories. In 1821 the site was designated as the seat of the state government, and early in the following year the town, named in honour of Andrew Jackson, was laid out. The legislature first met here in December 1822. It was not until 1840 that it was chartered as a city. During the Civil War Jackson was in the theatre of active campaigning. On the 14th of May 1863 Johnston who then held the city, was attacked on both sides by Sherman and McPherson with two corps of Grant's army, which, after a sharp engagement, drove the Confederates from the town. After the fall of Vicksburg Johnston concentrated his forces at Jackson, which had been evacuated by the Federal troops, and prepared to make a stand behind the intrenchments. On the 9th of July Sherman began an investment of the place, and during the succeeding week a sharp bombardment was carried on. In the night of the 16th Johnston, taking advantage of a lull in the firing, withdrew suddenly from the city. Sherman's army entered on the 17th and remained five days, burning a considerable part of the city and ravaging the surrounding country.

It's 1932, and Maisie takes a job with the British Secret Service, going undercover to investigate ties between a small Cambridge college and the rising Nazi Party. When the head of the college turns up dead, Maisie finds herself torn between the Service and Scotland Yard in a complicated case involving echoes of the last war and omens of the next. A Lesson in Secrets confirms Winspear's place at the top of the list of historical mystery writers."

Private investigator Maisie Dobbs receives her first assignment from the British Secret Service in A Lesson in Secrets, the eighth book in Jacqueline Winspear's award-winning mystery series. Sent to pose as a junior lecturer at a private college in Cambridge, she will monitor any activities "not in the interests of His Majesty's government." When the college's pacifist founder is murdered, Maisie finds herself in the midst of sinister web of murder, scandal, and conspiracy, activities that point towards members of the ascendant Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei--the Nazi Party--on Britain's shores. An instant classic, and sure to captivate long-time Maisie Dobbs fans as well as readers of Agatha Christie, Elizabeth George, and Alexander McCall Smith, A Lesson in Secrets is "a powerful and complex novel, one that will linger in memory as a testament to her talent and her humanity" (Richmond Times-Dispatch).
Praise For A Lesson in Secrets: A Maisie Dobbs Novel…
"Maisie is one of the great fictional heroines, equal parts haunted and haunting."
"The combination of period detail and intricate storytelling makes A Lesson in Secrets seem distant enough to be romantic but sufficiently modern to engage our sympathies."
-Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal
"With an affecting storyline and graceful prose, Winspear has again created a powerful and complex novel, one that will linger in memory as a testament to her talent and her humanity."

His son has even asked him why people hate him. "What I am doing in my work impacts them emotionally, because my 9-year-old, Antonio, is starting to sense things and I have to explain things. Like he asks, 'Why are the students angry with you, Papa?'" Clegg revealed. Critics have left their mark on Clegg, who admitted to crying regularly to music and telling white lies to his family to explain his absences, and protested that he is a human being, not a punch bag.

Please, let me know via email when the new review on this product is available.
The Mini-Miracle Scoop should have been the perfect addition to my Miracle Wand, but it was plenty short of miraculous. The design felt wonderful to the touch and was as gorgeous as an orchid, but as far as function went, it fell quite short of my expectations. If you like light touches on your clit and tantalizing tickles on your nipples, the Scoop might just work well for you. It's an inexpensive product, so try it if you have any inkling it might be up your alley. It just wasn't up mine.
While the My Mini-Miracle Scoop was a nice concept, it just didn't work. Though it was designed specifically for the Mini-Miracle, it is a bit too loose, which severely damps the vibrations and causes the more rigid cup to rattle around on the massager head. If it were redesigned to fix the vibration issues, it could be a great attachment for the Mini Miracle. As it is, it's just not worth it.
This scoop fails to provide much clitoral stimulation because of its unwieldy size and shape, and how it dampens the sensations considerably. It's nice for nipple stimulation and gentle foreplay.
The scoop is a good accessory for foreplay, but not if you want an orgasm. It dampens the vibrations of the wand and does not attach securely, especially when wet.

Episode 33: So Much Socialism or How The British Destroyed The World
Release Date: 06/15/2017
We're back at the Deurty Boys gallery (901 Chartres St.) in the heart of New Orleans' World Famous French Quarter to talk to you about… Chris Rose? Playboy Buddy Rose? Something… Oh actually the UK General election which happened the day before we recorded this. Alli is especially fired up. Varg is maybe a little skeptical not only of socialism but of British people in general.
Segment One (about 45 minutes)
Recapping the UK Elections and the political implications going forward. Is there a lesson for American politics or is everybody just fine? Interrupted only by some bead-wearing tourists barging into the gallery after hours oh and then by Menckles who just wants to go have a drink.
Segment 2 (about 30 minutes)
There are secret recordings of Varg talking to himself drunk and we are going to find them. Anyway, this part is all about the most recent spike in violent crime across the city, Mitch Landrieu's neoliberal response and Leon Cannizzaro's quasi-fascist response to said crime. Turns out the answer is it all comes down to socialism. Also we play an occupation-based names game. Menckles sneaks in a word or two. Cannizzaro writes to the editor in a Donald Duck voice.
Twitter Questions (Answer key)
British people fucked up the world
Alli has never seen The Sopranos
Varg likes it when Jeff and/or Portland are/is miserable. Alli goes to Portland and does all the Northwest outdoorsy things. Also there were homeless people.
Alli and Jeff see another Dean's List Fake News Show where they learn about Candy the Chimpanzee. Jeff shouldn't be allowed in public.
Is Phil Collins ok? Do Bridges Ice before roads? Varg goes down the bayou to a place in Gibson called Chester's Cypress Inn and eats frog legs three days in a row. Also there is a new tattoo to be revealed.
Billy Nungesser gets serious
The Legislature fails again
Ronal Serpas will do… something

From there, if you'd like to step off your boat for a complimentary behind-the-scenes tour of the marina, one of our crew members will be happy to take you around, and buy you a drink at Nautical Spirits Bar & Grill (the on-site restaurant) afterward.
Hot dogs are provided for all; however, the complimentary tour and drink offer is only valid for those that are not currently a customer of Harbortown Marina.
