In today's America, the increasing spread of fake news and socially acceptable discrimination are making independent publishing and spaces for people of color even more necessary than before. Polychrome Mag, a new magazine designed to showcase creatives of color and their work, is working to create a platform for creatives and change POC representation in the media. Polychrome is currently running a majorly successful Kickstarter campaign, which was funded in less than 48 hours, and is gearing up to release their first print issue. I sat down with Polychrome editor-in-chief Micah Pegues, an NYU film student and Dallas native, to talk about how the magazine started, her dream interviewees, and more.
What's the history of Polychrome? What inspired you to start the publication?
I was on winter break last year during my freshman year of college at NYU. I always go to Barnes and Noble to look at new magazines, but nothing I saw really sparked my interest. I didn't see anything I connected to, and I never really saw magazines with people of color on the covers. My dad always says not to complain about something if you don't do anything about it, so I started thinking about founding my own magazine. I knew it was possible because my friend Gabby [Yadegari, Culture Editor] had just released a zine called Avant Girl.
I knew I wanted the magazine to be colorful and multicultural. Being the college student that I am, I looked through the thesaurus for "colorful" and found "polychrome," and I thought it was perfect name. Once I got my ideas down in my sketchbook, I registered a domain, got all the handles on social media, and we officially got started. Two weeks after I got back from holiday break, I had the first Polychrome shoot.
I want to make Polychrome something that can fill the void I felt when I was originally looking for magazines, even if it's something you casually pick up. I want it to be a space where POC can submit their work and can share it with an audience that understands them or has a similar background to them.
Do you see spaces for creatives of color in your day-to-day life? What type of role do you hope polychrome will fill in communities of color, the art community, or even in the magazine publishing community?
In New York, I see a lot of spaces for POC, but in Dallas, I don't see as many – the culture there is just really different.
Everyone who is on the editorial team isn't just focused on magazine publishing. A lot of us are dealing with marginalization in other fields we're working in.
We're now trying to broaden what we're doing. We're planning on making Polychrome more blog-focused in addition to the print magazine. Before, I didn't want to make a blog because I worried no one would buy print if they can read the blog. But because we have more people who follow us on Instagram, I think now is the time to launch it so we have content that comes out more often. This way, people can engage more with Polychrome and have it be something more immediate that can foster a sense of community.
What's the focus of the magazine? What types of creatives are you hoping to feature? Are you hoping to assign themes to any issues?
We don't have a focus necessarily. It's for any person of color who creates anything. I always say we have "creators of color" because not everyone labels themselves as artists. People who aren't in the fine arts world don't often identify with "artist" most of the time, so having a "creator" label is really important. We're trying to be as open as possible, so we don't have a strict age range either; when I'm reading a magazine, I don't just want to read things made by other twenty-year-olds.
The first issue was supposed to have a theme, but once we got started it became more apparent that we couldn't impose a theme on the creators. We were just happy to get any submissions. We've already started the second issue and started lining up interviews, which is really exciting. We have people from all over the place – a prop designer, an illustrator, a blogger, a photographer.
Tell me about the editorial team!
I have a great team of editors who are all based in different cities. My deputy editor is Celeste Scott, who I met online years ago. We use to both make Youtube videos and that's how we first connected. She's always been a creative inspiration and is a gifted writer, so it's been helpful to have her guide me through this process. My team from Dallas is comprised of Kennedy Williams, our fashion editor, and Brandon Douglas, the music editor. Brandon and I met at a STEM program during seventh grade. I asked him to be the music editor for Polychrome because he puts a lot of energy into the things he cares about, so having his thoughtful presence on polychrome is really helpfull. Gabriela Yadegari, the culture editor, and I met during the summer of my junior year in high school. We did a Tisch Summer Program together. She has lots of ideas and cares deeply about the way the world works and how everyone fits into that. Theresa Tran is our social media editor and the most recent addition to our team, and she's made the team a family.
As we've gotten to know each other, we've really built a little family. I'm thankful for all of them. The issue wouldn't have happened without them, and I love that I can have these friends who I can build this magazine with.
Tell me about your participation in Mag Mob, a collective of independently published magazines. How did Polychrome get involved, and how do you think Polychrome fits in with the other magazines?
I first learned about Mag Mob through Got a Girl Crush. I found GAGC through Loveis Wise, who has illustrated for the magazine, and I later learned they're a part of the Mag Mob. I got a message from Mindy [Abovitz, editor of Tom Tom Magazine] who invited me to a few meetings. It felt great to hear feedback from people who make magazines and hear how supportive they are of each other and of Mag Mob. The group is really impactful, and what Mag Mob is doing is really necessary right now. A lot of print magazines are dying left and right and are moving mostly online now, so it's nice to see a group of people trying to make something physical and put their vision out in the world. The opportunities I've had are all in part due to Mag Mob. I couldn't have funded the Kickstarter or planned it without them. They're really integral to Polychrome's development.
Speaking of Kickstarter, the Polychrome campaign was funded in only two days, which is incredible! What was the process of starting your Kickstarter? What are you hoping to do with the extra funding you receive before the campaign ends?
When I was originally putting together the magazine, I wasn't planning on doing a Kickstarter and was going to just try printing a few issues. Going to the Mag Mob meeting and talking to Winter [Mendelson, Editor of Posture Magazine] and Meg [Wachter, Editor of Got a Girl Crush] changed my view on it; they both told me to do a Kickstarter and said people would support this project. In December, the magazine was almost finished, so I decided to start planning for it. I got a lot of help from Meg, and learned my options. From there, I've been building it up and making sure it's something people can connect to. When I was planning this, I didn't know if that anyone would even see it and fund it. I keep going back to check, and I can't believe it!
All the funds that we received will be used for printing. We've covered all printing costs for this and next issues. I'm going to send Polychrome to the printers once the Kickstarter ends, and I'll be shipping copies from my dorm.
What are some of your favorite pieces from the first issue?
I love my interview with Salman Toor, a fine artist from Pakistan who lives in New York. His work is so beautiful – the relationship he has with his background and his art now is so intricate, and the details are gorgeous. I got to visit his studio when I went to shoot him for his profile last year, and seeing all his work in real life is amazing. We have an interview with Lauren Ash, who is the founder of Black Girl with Om. The way she speaks about her friendships with black women, founding her own company, and manifesting her own dreams is inspiring. I really love the interview with Christina Chung, our go-to illustrator for the magazine (she illustrated our icons for the editor bios in the magazine!) We met last year in February, and we've developed a great friendship ever since.
What are your goals for the magazine moving forward? Do you have any artists are your dream to interview or contribute to Polychrome?
I want to have events for the magazine. It was great to see these amazing POC getting to meet and know each other better from planning the magazine. Polychrome fosters this community that can really help people make good connections and friendships down the line, so I definitely want to encourage more of that. I want to get the blog going and have posts going up weekly so we can build a more regular community. I'm not sure when I want to release the next issue, but I want to get the print issue out to more location because I didn't plan on doing that for the first issue. Everyone has new ideas that we're hoping to move forward with. Theresa and Celeste have been brainstorming ways to talk about mental health for POC too, so we're hoping to build those ideas up some more!
For people I want to interview, Elaine Welteroth, the former editor of Teen Vogue who just left her position there, and Amandla Stenberg, an actor and activist, come to mind. They're two of my favorite people and such inspirations who are doing the most for POC and making amazing content.
In the short history of the magazine, you've already faced some online hate. How do you respond to racist and offensive comments? Does that fuel your work in any way?
We got a comment the other day, and it's been the first that's been so heinous, that's really the only word I can think to describe it. At first, we were shocked, mostly because it was so outright mean and wrong. It was just wrong. The commenter completely misinterpreted our mission. It's hard to confront people who don't see value in your work or you as a person. We were trying to figure out what to do and weren't quite sure what to say in response. I'm very privileged because I haven't had to deal with outright racism – comments I hear are never as direct as how I'm "outdated farming equipment" like a slave as he said, or something terrible like that.
In the future, I don't think we'll engage with these comments – this was just the first one, so we needed to confront it. Gabby responded for us all. It's people like that who make POC feel afraid, marginalized and dehumanized, and makes it hard for a lot of our work to shine. The goal is to build an even more supportive community that's full of love for people and the art they create so we don't have to deal with comments like those every day.

Without a mobile service, document shredding can be a massive headache. You need to load up your documents into boxes, put those heavy cartons in the car, and transport them to an office supply store or mail box retailer.

With Time Shred, however, this pattern is a thing of the past.
Instead, our technicians drive one of our advanced paper shredding trucks to your location that can process 6,000 lbs. of paper every single hour. Each truck is equipped with an automated system that lifts locked bins with your documents and dumps them directly into the shredder which means no grunt work for you! What's more, our friendly, reliable, and helpful staff is highly trained and thoroughly vetted, and each wears a uniform and a photo ID badge when they arrive for your document destruction job.
We're also AAA Certified with The National Association for Information Destruction, so you can rest assured that every member of our team takes security seriously.
Regardless of whether you need one-time or ongoing document shredding, our team is here to help. We offer next-day "purge" shredding, as well as regularly scheduled ongoing appointments for individuals and businesses with high paperwork loads. To figure out which option is best for you, just give our offices a call and speak to one of our friendly experts. We're happy to provide a quote for our document shredding services and help you determine which service option will best suit your needs.
Today, disposing of personal information correctly is critical. Until now, though, it's been tough to do. Time Shred's mission is to make high-volume document shredding easy and accessible and to remove the hassle from getting rid of sensitive personal information. With our paper shredding trucks, friendly shredding technicians, and high standards of security, we put our customers at the center of our business model, and we'll go above and beyond to ensure that you're happy with the document shredding services you receive at Time Shred.
Still have more questions about how document shredding works or why you need it? Contact our professionals today. We'll give you a free quote based on the volume of your documents and frequency of service. We can also help you schedule an appointment, or just answer your questions about our services. Remember: you're the focus at Time Shred, and our mission is to help all of our clients keep their personal information safe and secure in Ironbound, NJ.


I usually avoid buffets like the plage because who can avoid temptation when presented with an abundance of choices? In Las Vegas, I make an exception due to the high quality in most venues. Here are some of my favorites.
This is now my all-time favorite buffet in Vegas. The variety and quality of food are exceptional. You can find American, Italian, Asian, Sushi, Latin, Middle Eastern dishes plus a great selection of desserts. The mixed drinks are also excellent. You can order several drinks for a fixed price of around $20.
Several food stations, each from a different country. The Middle Eastern station is especially tasty. You can find stuffed grape leaves and hummus – and don't forget to grab Baklava for dessert.
The seafood station is good but lacking variety of sushi. Regular dinner price is $26 but you can get a ½ off promotion from several sources like Groupon. You can also add an All-you-can-drink option to your meal for around $13.
Similar to Spice Market with food from around the world. It has live action food preparation, more sushi choices and a large selection of desserts. Price for dinner is from $31 to $36 depending on the day of the week. They also offer special pricing for locals.
Tip: You can buy a 24 hours buffet pass for around $50 that is good for many of the main buffets on the strip. It includes: Carnival World Buffet at the Rio, Village Seafood Buffet at the Rio (Additional $10), Flavors at Harrah's, Paradise at the Flamingo, Emperor's Buffet at The Quad, Le Village Buffet at Paris, Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace (Additional $15 for Breakfast, $20 for Lunch, and $25 for Dinner), and the Spice Market Buffet at Planet Hollywood.
It is considered the top buffet in Las Vegas by several rating agencies. It offers the largest variety of cuisines by master chefs. The majority of the cooking is done in front of the guests. Dinners cost from $55 to $65 depending on the day of the week.
Some of the less expensive but good buffets are The Buffet at Golden Nugget, Chop Chop Buffet at the Plaza downtown, Ports O' Call Buffet at Gold Coast and Fantasy Market Buffet at the Palms.
You don't have to visit a buffet in Vegas to enjoy a good meal. You can always find your favorite chain restaurant or you can try a new experience.
You are led to your table in total darkness and served a prix-fixe meal with 6 courses. You are not told what you are eating, so every bite is a surprise. You do have the chance to inform the staff about any food allergies, so relax and enjoy.
The premise for this dining experience is that your sense will be heightened in the dark and you will need and want to engage in conversation.
The place is very pricy. You could pay up to $200 for 2 people with drinks.
This rotating restaurant sits at the 16th floor of the Stratosphere Towe and offers spectacular views of La Vegas and the desert.
Tip: Go at dusk so you can view the city in light and later in its full glory at night.
The food is very good but not exceptional. We went for the view and really loved it. Our favorites here were the Lamb Chop and the Filet Mignon.
Tip: If you reserve for the restaurant, you don't have to wait in line for the observation deck. After your dinner, you can climb to the upper floors for another great view.
This highly rated Sushi restaurant is a little outside the Strip area but worth the trip. The best way to enjoy this place is to let the chef decide what to eat and drink (AKA OMAKASE). You basically decide on how many courses and the check recommends the Sake, Sushi, Hand Roll and dessert. You can also order Ala Cart if you choose.
For a taste of India, you have to travel even further away from the Strip. This restaurant serves all the traditional Indian dishes with a large variety of appetizers and bread (Naan). If you are up to an adventure, try their Indo-Chinese selection. For dessert try the Gulab Jamun or Almond Joy Naan.
For an authentic Italian dining experience without making the trip to Venice, go to this restaurant in St. Mark's Square at the Venetian Resort and Casino.
While dining on great tasting pasta, pizza or seafood, enjoy operatic performances right in front of you at the square.
The food and service were excellent, but the opera singers, mime and clowns gave the experience another dimension.

Andrew Battel, né dans le comté de l'Essex vers 1565, est un voyageur anglais.

Son récit durant son long séjour en Angola, captif des portugais, et ses voyages dans la région constituent des sources primaires essentielles pour la connaissance de l'histoire de cette région, en particulier son premier compte-rendu sur les Bangala et sa description détaillée de Loango.

Biographie

Andrew Battel est né dans le comté de l'Essex vers 1565.

Brésil et Angola
Le , il embarque avec le capitaine Abraham Cocke pour Río de la Plata. Après un long et difficile voyage, ils atteignent l'embouchure du fleuve à l'automne. Mais tenaillés par la faim et les vents contraires, ils sont contraints de faire demi-tour et de naviguer le long de la côte du Brésil. Ils débarquent alors sur l'île de São Sebastião (le site actuel de Rio de Janeiro), où l'équipage se sépare. Battel et ses cinq compagnons d'infortune sont capturés par les Indiens de la rivière de Janeiro, et remis aux Portugais. Après quatre mois d'emprisonnement, il est transporté à Luanda, dans la colonie portugaise en Angola. Il est mis aux arrêts dans cette ville pendant quatre mois supplémentaires, et est ensuite envoyé à  jusqu'au fleuve Kwanza, confiné dans un fort.

Grâce à la mort du pilote portugais, il est utilisé pour le remplacer et prendre le gouvernail de la pinasse pour le retour à Luanda. Après une maladie de huit mois, Battel est envoyé par le gouverneur de Luanda, João de Mendonça Furtado, à Nzari, au Congo, dans une pinasse pour recueillir de l'ivoire, du blé, et de l'huile de palme.

C'est un succès, et il continue à commercer pour le compte des portugais à Loango. Mais, en tentant de s'échapper sur un navire hollandais, il est jeté en prison pendant deux mois et exilé à Massangano, un fort portugais sur le fleuve Kwanza, à l'extrémité orientale de la colonie portugaise, où il passe six ans. Après une autre tentative d'évasion et un emprisonnement subséquent, il est enrôlé dans une force mixte composée de Portugais et d'autochtones et envoyé en expédition pour Ilambo. Dans cette campagne militaire, qui est un succès, Battel est grièvement blessé à la jambe.

Battel est par la suite employé dans des expéditions de commerce le long de la côte. Au cours de l'une d'entre elles, il est laissé en otage par les Portugais pendant deux mois avec les Gaga (qu'il appelle Jagas ou Imbangala). Équipé d'un fusil, et grâce à son adresse au tir, il gagne les faveurs de ses geoliers. Il donne un compte-rendu complet et saisissant des étranges coutumes et superstitions qu'il observe parmi eux, en particulier des sacrifices humains dont il est un témoin oculaire. Il réussit à rejoindre le site portugais de Massangano, et est fait sergent grâce à ses états de service.

Selon certains Jésuites, l'accession au trône de Jacques I permet de restaurer la paix entre l'Angleterre et l'Espagne. Battel obtient alors le consentement du gouverneur pour son retour en Angleterre. La promesse n'ayant pas été respectée, Battel s'enfuit dans la forêt du Kasanze, une zone refuge au nord de Luanda, où il décide d'attendre un nouveau gouverneur.

Loango
Tombant sur la pinasse d'un ancien compagnon de navigation, Battel débarque dans le port de Loango où, toujours grâce à son adresse au tir, il gagne les bonnes grâces du roi.

À ce stade, le récit se termine par une description complète des différentes régions de Loango, de leurs caractéristiques naturelles, et les coutumes des habitants.

Retour en Angleterre et postérité
Après trois années passées dans cette région, Battel retourne en Angleterre, ayant été absent dix-huit ans, et s'installe à Leigh-on-Sea dans l'Essex.

La véracité de ses récits a été remise en question, mais ils ont été partiellement confirmés par le récit similaire de la région du Congo donné par le voyageur Duarte Lopes en 1591. L'écrivain Anglais Samuel Purchas parle de Battel comme son voisin, et témoigne de son intelligence et de son honnêteté. Il parle de lui comme vivant encore dans Pilgrimes, dont la première édition a été publiée en 1614.

Although estate planning is an important exercise for your family, one area, which is sometimes ignored by families in St. Louis, is pet planning in the event of your death, emergency care or disability. Pet Planning is important because pets become a part of the family in most households. As such, it is important to provide for their care in the event of unforeseen circumstances. In my family we currently have two Labrador Retrievers (our fifth and sixth) that are an integral part of our family. That is Klondike above jumping into the Pool. In a nood to "Game of Thrones", our new yellow Lab is named Khaleesi.
With respect to planning for emergencies and the like which could happen on a day to day basis, common sense suggestions like making sure your neighbors, friends and family know how many pets you have and writing down all of their food and medical requirements are sometimes overlooked. Putting such information down on "electronic paper" and e-mailing them to your neighbors, friends and family is an easy step to take to get this information out. You should also identify in writing, the identity of the person(s) to receive and be responsible for your pets either temporarily, in the event of your incapacity, or on a permanent basis in the event of your death. Obviously you need to confirm this with such persons ahead of time. Many clients I have counseled on this choice have initially proposed including the identity of such pet caregiver as part of their will, which is fine, but as a practical matter such persons also need to be identified outside the will since in may be days or weeks after a person dies before the will is discovered or read.
Organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States also recommend, among other things, that you carry a wallet alert card that identifies your pets, their veterinarian and their temporary care givers. This allows first responders and health providers to know that you have pets in the event of an accident or injury to you so that your pets can be properly cared for. Additionally, it is recommended that an emergency notice be placed on windows and doors, similar to the placard that is put on children's windows, notifying fire and rescue personnel that there are pets in the house or apartment in case of fire or other emergency so that they can be rescued.
Given the fact that most pets have life expectancies which are much less the their owners' life expectancies (with some exceptions like some birds and tortoises), most pet owners will outlive their pets. However, many older individuals, especially widows and widowers, own pets in the later stage of their lives. Pets are wonderful companions especially for adults that have lost a husband or wife or other significant other. In such cases that person's pet may indeed outlive their owner. Assuming a caregiver to provide a new home for the pet has been determined, the next step that a pet owner may want to consider is how to financially reward the caregiver for taking in their pet after their death. One method would be to make a bequest of money outright to the pet caregiver to cover future expenses. Although this is simple in form, there are no checks and balances in place to make sure the pet is properly cared for. A second option is to create a Pet Trust, either through your will of by use of an inter vivos (lifetime) trust. Both Missouri and Illinois statutorily allow for Pet Trusts as do a majority of the other states. In Missouri for example, a pet owner could create a Pet Trust in a will merely by including a simple provision such as "I give $10,000 to Alan H. Smith in trust for the benefit of my dog, Klondike". That is all that is required because the Missouri Statute §456.4-408 RSMo fills in the rest such as when the trust ends (death of the pet) and what happens to the balance upon the death of the pet (to the successors in interest of the decedent). Unlike an outright bequest, a bequest to a Pet Trust has checks and balances since any person mentioned in the bequest, or if none, then a person appointed by the court at the request of someone having interest in the welfare of the pet, may enforce the trust. As I said, a Pet Trust can be very simple or it can be very complicated and detailed including things such as pet feeding, recreation, toys etc. One very important item that a person desiring to set up a Pet Trust should include is a specific description of the pet. For example rather then refer to the pet as "My dog Klondike" it would be better to refer to the pet as "My Chocolate Labrador named Klondike that was born on July 3, 2008". That way if Mr. Smith is still caring for a St. Bernard in 20 years named Klondike the court will know that it is a fraud.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the formation or uses of a Pet Trust.

Kleros
PNKKleros
$18,736,120 $0.027789 $28,382 674,226,801PNK 1.14%
What is Kleros (PNK)?
Kleros (PNK) is a decentralized dispute resolution project launched in July 2018. It is an open source protocol that uses blockchain and crowdsourcing to resolve disputes fairly.
Kleros offers an intermediary service for decentralized applications (dApps) and their users. If the service provided by the application does not cause a dispute, Kleros acts as an unreliable third-party payment service.
However, in the event of a dispute, each party can apply for arbitration through Kleros arbitrators selected from the owners of PNK tokens. PNK is an ERC-20 service token based on Ethereum with a fixed margin.
At this stage, the jury can make a decision in favor of both sides. Arbitration fees are distributed among all arbitrators in the form of ETH: jurors who have made a minority decision lose part of their PNK tokens in favor of the majority of jurors. This decision can be appealed for a fee.
The stated mission of Kleros is to facilitate access to justice and improve personal freedom.
Kleros charges a fee, which is paid in ETH and provided by the parties to the dispute or taken from funds previously blocked on escrow.
Who are the founders of Kleros?
Kleros (PNK) was founded by Federico Asth, Clement Lezage and Nicholas Wagner.
Federico Ast is the CEO of Kleros and a lecturer at Coursera. Prior to that, he worked as a creator and tutor at Crowdjury, and was also a journalist, speaker and blogger at Clarín.
Clement Lesage is the technical director of Kleros. Prior to that, he worked as a freelancer on smart contract security, as well as a research intern in the field of machine learning at Technicolor.
Nicholas Wagner is the lead developer of Kleros. He also works as a freelance web developer and blockchain developer. In the past, Wagner worked as a blockchain developer in Dether.io and an internal developer in the Tradelab Programmatic Platform.
What makes Kleros unique?
Kleros is designed primarily for decentralized applications, however, it is a decentralized and inexpensive arbitration system that can attract attention outside of the blockchain industry. It is designed as a multi-purpose platform for dispute resolution, which in many cases can function as a judicial service.
This includes the resolution of escrow disputes, violations of social media policies, and oracle decisions. The PNK token plays an important role in all these cases due to the fact that the amount that jurors contribute is directly correlated with the probability that they will be selected to consider the case.
It also serves as an economic incentive for jurors to be honest in their cases. PNK also gives them the right to vote, depending on the number of tokens they hold. This encourages owners to hold tokens for management purposes, since jurors also receive payment in ETH individually in the form of arbitration fees.
How many Kleros (PNK) coins are in circulation?
Kleros (PNK) has 674,226,801 PNK in circulation as of February 2021, while there is no data on maximum deliveries.
At the moment, the PNK token is traded at a price of 0.02778905 USD, with a daily trading volume of 28,382 USD and a market capitalization of 18,736,120 USD.
How is the Kleros network protected?
Kleros relies on cryptography and blockchain to protectevidence, select jurors, and encourage honest decisions. The protocol token represents the right of users to be randomly selected as jurors.
Since PNK is an ERC20 token, it can be stored in many offline or desktop crypto wallets that support Ethereum, which provides a high level of security.

1 Chronicles 1 NLT - 1 Chronicles 1 KJV
From Adam to Noah's Sons
1The descendants of Adam were Seth, Enosh, 2 Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, 3 Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, 4 and Noah.
The sons of Noah were[a] Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Descendants of Japheth
5 The descendants of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
6 The descendants of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath,[b] and Togarmah.
7 The descendants of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Rodanim.
Descendants of Ham
8 The descendants of Ham were Cush, Mizraim,[c] Put, and Canaan.
9 The descendants of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. 10 Cush was also the ancestor of Nimrod, who was the first heroic warrior on earth.
11 Mizraim was the ancestor of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 12 Pathrusites, Casluhites, and the Caphtorites, from whom the Philistines came.[d]
13 Canaan's oldest son was Sidon, the ancestor of the Sidonians. Canaan was also the ancestor of the Hittites,[e] 14 Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, 15 Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, 16 Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites.
Descendants of Shem
17 The descendants of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
The descendants of Aram were[f] Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.[g]
18 Arphaxad was the father of Shelah.
Shelah was the father of Eber.
19 Eber had two sons. The first was named Peleg (which means "division"), for during his lifetime the people of the world were divided into different language groups. His brother's name was Joktan.
20 Joktan was the ancestor of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 21 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 22 Obal,[h] Abimael, Sheba, 23 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were descendants of Joktan.
24 So this is the family line descended from Shem: Arphaxad, Shelah,[i] 25 Eber, Peleg, Reu, 26 Serug, Nahor, Terah, 27 and Abram, later known as Abraham.
Descendants of Abraham
28 The sons of Abraham were Isaac and Ishmael. 29 These are their genealogical records:
The sons of Ishmael were Nebaioth (the oldest), Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 30 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, Hadad, Tema, 31 Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These were the sons of Ishmael.
32 The sons of Keturah, Abraham's concubine, were Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
The sons of Jokshan were Sheba and Dedan.
33 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah.
All these were descendants of Abraham through his concubine Keturah.
Descendants of Isaac
34 Abraham was the father of Isaac. The sons of Isaac were Esau and Israel.[j]
Descendants of Esau
35 The sons of Esau were Eliphaz, Reuel, Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.
36 The descendants of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho,[k] Gatam, Kenaz, and Amalek, who was born to Timna.[l]
37 The descendants of Reuel were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah.
Original Peoples of Edom
38 The descendants of Seir were Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan.
39 The descendants of Lotan were Hori and Hemam.[m] Lotan's sister was named Timna.
40 The descendants of Shobal were Alvan,[n] Manahath, Ebal, Shepho,[o] and Onam.
The descendants of Zibeon were Aiah and Anah.
41 The son of Anah was Dishon.
The descendants of Dishon were Hemdan,[p] Eshban, Ithran, and Keran.
42 The descendants of Ezer were Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.[q]
The descendants of Dishan[r] were Uz and Aran.
Rulers of Edom
43 These are the kings who ruled in the land of Edom before any king ruled over the Israelites[s]:
Bela son of Beor, who ruled from his city of Dinhabah.
44 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah became king in his place.
45 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites became king in his place.
46 When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad became king in his place and ruled from the city of Avith. He was the one who destroyed the Midianite army in the land of Moab.
47 When Hadad died, Samlah from the city of Masrekah became king in his place.
48 When Samlah died, Shaul from the city of Rehoboth-on-the-River became king in his place.
49 When Shaul died, Baal-hanan son of Acbor became king in his place.
50 When Baal-hanan died, Hadad became king in his place and ruled from the city of Pau.[t] His wife was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred and granddaughter of Me-zahab. 51 Then Hadad died.
The clan leaders of Edom were Timna, Alvah,[u] Jetheth, 52 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 53 Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 54 Magdiel, and Iram. These are the clan leaders of Edom.

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he name Antoine Reicha is one which has fairly comprehensively slipped between the floorboards of musical history, except for within one select circle of musicians, wind players. With them Reicha's wind music, and in particular his wind quintets, has remained current and provides a useful and engaging programme filler. The present CD, part of the Thalia Ensemble's prize for winning the 2013 York Early Music International Young Artists' Competition, brings us two wind quintets and an Adagio for wind quartet and obligato cor anglais all played on period instruments of the early 19th century. This final detail may seem relatively unimportant in these days of the ubiquity of period performances, but in this case it was a major factor in my enjoyment of the CD. While tuneful and accessible, Reicha's music is occasionally accused of blandness, but when the Thalia Ensemble moved into the more chromatic passages of these works the remarkable range of characteristics occasioned by fork fingerings and lippings up and down imbued the music with considerable individuality. Occasionally the tuning is a little bit uncomfortable, but as this is the direct result of playing the instruments Reicha knew and was writing for we can assume that these sour moments were part of his original intentions.
Perhaps any 'blandness' in performances of Reicha's music nowadays should be put down to the regularising effect of modern woodwind instruments rather than any lack of imagination on the part of the composer. This tonal variety is further enhanced by the use of clarinets in C, Bb and A, standard practice at the time, but an issue which modern players tend to gloss over. Although details of the instruments the players use is sparse, I am guessing that Diederik Orné is using the bright C clarinet in the opening quintet and the mellower Bb in the second – the difference in tonal character is certainly considerable. And by the 1820s the mechanism of the Müller system clarinet was relatively advanced allowing for much improved intonation. As a flute player himself, Reicha writes beautifully for the flute, but what is perhaps most striking is his mastery of the wind quintet as an entity – perhaps not since Mozart and not until Nielsen did anyone write such accomplished chamber music for winds.

Football - Money match
A look at Premiership club auditors shows there is room for smaller players, finds Philip Smith.
Big Four firm Deloitte has emerged as the biggest winner in the Premiership football league, scoring audits for six of England's top clubs. Its nearest rival, KPMG, managed to bag three audits while PricewaterhouseCoopers and PKF snatched two apiece.
During the 2004/05 season, the most recent for which annual reports are available, Deloitte was the auditor of runners-up Arsenal, fourth placed Everton, Bolton Wanderers, Spurs and Aston Villa. It also marked the books for bottom-of-the-table Southampton, which is now languishing in the middle of the Championship league.
But despite Deloitte's dominance, KPMG was the auditor of Chelsea, league winners in both 2005 and 2006. The teams at KPMG were also responsible for auditing Manchester City and Newcastle United.
However, unlike the FTSE 100, there are a number of smaller audit players in the Premiership, showing that the Big Four stranglehold over listed companies does not stretch to the sporting world and that football clubs are happy to sign up local talent. For instance, Blackburn Rovers makes use of the home-town team at PM&M and Birmingham-based Clement Keys looks after West Bromwich Albion, which managed to avoid the drop in 2005 but was not so lucky this year.
As well as being the leading auditor of Premiership clubs, Deloitte produces annual surveys on the financial state of the beautiful game, the latest of which, All Eyes on Europe, was produced to coincide with the World Cup.
The report shows that football remains big business. The big five European leagues of England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain generated revenues of EUR6.3bn (£4.3bn) in 2004/05, an impressive 8% growth on the previous year. The English Premiership alone generated EUR2bn (£1.33bn).
According to the report, the total revenue for the Premiership clubs was £1.334bn in 2005, up marginally on the previous season's £1.326bn. The total pre-tax loss for the clubs stood at £78m, but this is significantly better than 2004's figure of £128m. Wage costs remain a significant amount for the clubs, but decreased for the first time in the Premiership's history, falling from £811m in 2004 to £785m in 2005, a drop of 3.2%.
But the big news this year came with the new broadcasting rights deal - in the last round back in 2003 Sky agreed to pay £1bn for the exclusive rights to broadcast live Premiership games. This time, the total deal hit £1.7bn, with Sky picking up five of the available packages while new entrant Setanta bagged the rights to screen games on Monday evenings and Saturday at 5.15pm.
Peter Matthews of Ernst & Young says: 'Many had expected that the European requirement to split the packages would limit the upside from this auction, due to the lack of exclusivity. But with the value rising from £1bn to £1.7bn, it is a tremendous result for the FA Premier League and its clubs.'
Now eyes are turning to new media, though the jury is out on how much revenue can be raised from mobile TV, which is being trialled during the World Cup. 'Would you watch all 90 minutes on your phone, and if so, how much would you pay?' asks James Healey, E&Y's media analyst. He reckons the phone operators are now not as keen as they once were on obtaining rights to show games, valuing a potential deal at only £10m.
Deloitte agrees. It says the screen size and solitary nature of watching on a phone could hinder growth, but believes it could form part of a wider offering.
THE TOP 10 FOR TURNOVER
The club came third in 2005 but topped the league for turnover (£159m) and profitability (£33m). ManU was only second to Chelsea in its wages bill of £77m. Auditor: PwC
Despite a turnover of nearly £149m the club still turned in an operating loss of £16.7m, putting it firmly at the bottom of the table in 2005. This didn't stop the team winning the double though, as the Blues topped the league and lifted the League Cup in the same season. Auditor: KPMG
Fifth in the league but the second most profitable club after ManU (£25m), it scored a turnover of £122m. Europe provided a spectacular finish to the season when it came back from 3-0 down to win on penalties. Auditor: PKF
The north London club narrowly missed out to its west London rivals. But at least off the pitch the Gunners can boast operating profits of £20m on a turnover of £115m. Auditor: Deloitte
Newcastle United (14)
The club had the second largest average gate (51,844) and fifth largest turnover (£87m). Auditor: KPMG
Tottenham Hotspur (9)
Mid-table on the pitch, but Spurs was the fifth most profitable at £12.8m on £53m turnover. Auditor: Deloitte
The club remained in profit at £3.5m with a turnover of £61m and scored the third highest average gate of 45,192. Auditor: KPMG
Finished the season one place higher than its Merseyside rivals but with only half the turnover of £60m and a credible £10m profit. Auditor: Deloitte
Scored the same number of points as Liverpool, but with the Reebok stadium only holding 28,000, the Trotters' turnover of £53m only produced a profit of £6.8m. Auditor: Deloitte
Middlesbrough (7)

A FPN is issued to someone who has committed an environmental offence, for example, littering or allowing a dog to foul and failing to clear up after it. It is a way of dealing with an offender without going through the court process.
However if you do not pay a FPN the case can be heard at a Magistrates' Court and you may be fined more than the FPN and receive a criminal conviction.
Dog fouling (including failure to remove faeces from the land forthwith and failure to produce a suitable receptacle for holding faeces.
If you decide not to pay the FPN your case may be heard in a magistrate's court. This could lead to a criminal conviction and a fine of up to £5,000.
How much is the fine for an FPN?
The fine will depend on the offence.
How do I pay an FPN?
When you pay a fixed penalty notice you will need to quote the FPN number on the ticket that was issued to you.
Once you have paid the FPN that is the end of the matter.
Can a child be issued with an FPN?
Children aged 12 and over can be issued with a FPN. A child is considered to be a young person aged from 12 to 17 years.
My child has been issued with an FPN - do I need to pay it?
For litter, dog fouling and graffiti offences, young people between 12 and 17 years old will be offered restorative justice instead of paying the fine, in the form of a litter-pick. Litter-picks take place on a Saturday and are supervised by a Neighbourhood Warden. If the young person attends the litter-pick then the matter is closed.
A young person who is abusive, a repeat offender or who gives false details when being issued with a FPN may not be offered a litter-pick. If a child is issued with a FPN twice in a six month period or they do not attend a litter-pick, they may be issued with a Acceptable Behaviour Contract.

Did the officer have enough evidence to prove that the offence took place?
We will write to you to let you know the outcome of your appeal.


Anti-racist writer and educator Tim Wise published an essay yesterday that explores white privilege in the context of the bombings that took place at the Boston Marathon.
Wise's essay entitled, "Terrorism and Privilege: Understanding the Power of Whiteness," explores the cultural fallout that could result if the person (or persons) responsible for the violent marathon events turns out to be a person of color.
White privilege is knowing that if the bomber turns out to be white, he or she will be viewed as an exception to an otherwise non-white rule, an aberration, an anomaly, and that he or she will be able to join the ranks of Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols and Ted Kaczynski and Eric Rudolph and Joe Stack and George Metesky and Byron De La Beckwith and Bobby Frank Cherry and Thomas Blanton and Herman Frank Cash and Robert Chambliss and James von Brunn and Robert Mathews and David Lane and Michael F. Griffin and Paul Hill and John Salvi and James Kopp and Luke Helder and James David Adkisson and Scott Roeder and Shelley Shannon and Dennis Mahon and Wade Michael Page and Byron Williams and Kevin Harpham and William Krar and Judith Bruey and Edward Feltus and Raymond Kirk Dillard and Adam Lynn Cunningham and Bonnell Hughes and Randall Garrett Cole and James Ray McElroy and Michael Gorbey and Daniel Cowart and Paul Schlesselman and Frederick Thomas and Paul Ross Evans and Matt Goldsby and Jimmy Simmons and Kathy Simmons and Kaye Wiggins and Patricia Hughes and Jeremy Dunahoe and David McMenemy and Bobby Joe Rogers and Francis Grady and Demetrius Van Crocker and Floyd Raymond Looker, among the pantheon of white people who engage in (or have plotted) politically motivated violence meant to terrorize and kill, but whose actions result in the assumption of absolutely nothing about white people generally, or white Christians in particular.
And white privilege is being able to know nothing about the crimes committed by most of the terrorists listed above – indeed, never to have so much as heard most of their names – let alone to make assumptions about the role that their racial or ethnic identity may have played in their crimes.
White privilege is knowing that if you are a white student from Nebraska – as opposed to, say, a student from Saudi Arabia – that no one, and I mean no one would think it important to detain and question you in the wake of a bombing such as the one at the Boston Marathon.

Tlaloc, Aztec God of Rain
Tlaloc, the Aztec god of rain and one of the oldest Central American deities, was worshiped for over 2000 years, his influence persisting well after the Spanish Conquest.
Evan Meehan 6
One of the oldest and most widely worshiped Mesoamerican gods, Tlaloc was the Aztec god of rain and thunder. It was by his blessing that the seasonal rains arrived on time for the vital maize harvest.
While his rains often brought life to Mesoamerican societies, they could also take it away. If they arrived at the wrong time, or came in the form of intense storms, the rains could ruin crops and cause drought or flooding. Tlaloc is one of several gods the Mexica people refused to fully abandon following the introduction of Christianity, and in many ways his veneration was never completely forsaken.
Tlāloc's name is derived from the Nahuatl word tlalli which means earth, or soil.1 His name has been taken to mean "in the earth," perhaps referencing the moisture of soil.2
Tlaloc's alternative names, Tlamacazqui and Xoxouhqui, reflect his role as a life-providing rain god, meaning "Giver" and "Green One" respectively.
Tlaloc is one of the most ancient Central American gods with identifiable records of his worship dating back to 100BCE. These earliest images of Tlaloc were found on vases in Tlapacoya and bore his visage alongside lightning bolts. While we cannot say for sure what Tlaloc's role was at this earliest stage, or even what he was called, the imagery used to depict him remained remarkably consistent even over long spans of time.
This image from the Borgia Codex shows Tlaloc's classic goggle eyes and fanged appearance. Public Domain
Tlaloc is most often depicted with rings around his eyes, sometimes described as "goggle" eyes, and pointed fangs. Images of Tlaloc usually fall into one of two categories: Tlaloc A is shown with "a five-knot headdress, [a] water lily in the mouth, [a] staff and vessel, and [a] year-sign headdress," while Tlaloc B has "a long bifurcated tongue, [only] three or four small fangs, and a headdress with a zigzag band and three pendant elements."3 Both of these categories retain the "goggle" eyes and pointed fang that help define Tlaloc's appearance
Another element of Tlaloc's multiplicity are the Tlaloques. These "little Tlalocs," were guardians of the four cardinal directions (North, South, East, and West) and held up the sky.4
The god Chac serves as Tlaloc's equivalent in the Mayan pantheon. Like Tlaloc, Chac was the god of lightning and rain, and existed "both individually and as a set of four gods, one for each cardinal direction."5
While many of the Aztec gods have traditional parentage, Tlaloc and his wife Chalchiuhtlicue were created either by all four sons of Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl (Xipe Totec, Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, and Huitzilopochtli), or by Quetzalcoatl and Huitzilopochtli.6 Tlaloc's son, Tecciztecatl, would become the moon after following the god Nanahuitzin into a sacrificial bonfire meant to create the fifth sun.
Some stories say that Tlaloc was initially married to Xochiquetzal, whose name literally means "Flower Quetzal Feather" or "Flower Precious Feather." She was stolen away from him, however, by Tezcatlipoca.
Tlaloc was an often beneficent - though occasionally fickle - god of water, rain and thunder. The Aztecs offered sacrifices to him to ensure the seasonal rains would arrive on time for a successful harvest.
The Five Tlalocs
As with many Aztec gods, there are multiple Tlalocs. An Aztec story recounts how Tlaloc and his wife resided in a great house with a patio containing a series of pots. The other Tlalocs, or Tlaloques, stood in each corner of the patio and chose which pot to break. Each pot was filled with a different type of water which, when broken, would dictate the type of rain the crops would receive.
In the Codex Borgia, the Tlaloque are depicted around a central Tlaloc. Public domain
The Aztecs desired the "fine gentle rains for sprouting crops," as each of the other types of rain could spell ruin for the harvest. Depending on the legend, these other types of rain would include:7
Blighted rain, which would bring fungus and rot
Frost rain
Fire rain or drought
Wind rain
Tlalocan: A Heavenly Paradise
The Aztecs believed that heaven was divided into thirteen levels, with a deity or group of deities associated with each. Tlaloc ruled over the first level, called Tlalocan.
In general, the various levels of heaven were reserved for those who died violent deaths; Tlalocan was no exception. Those who experienced a water-related death such as drowning, getting struck by lightning, or succumbing to a water-related disease would end up in Tlalocan. Those who died due to physical deformities associated with Tlaloc would also find themselves in his realm. Tlalocan itself was depicted as a verdant landscape replete with edible plants; the realm existed in perpetual springtime.8
The Temple atop Mount Tlaloc
In order to secure the rain their crops needed, the Aztecs offered annual sacrifices at a temple atop Mount Tlaloc. Notably, the sacrifice victims for these ceremonies were children. In most cases these children were richly adorned, and "their tears were viewed as positive signs of imminent and abundant rain."9

The mountaintop temple, which was also likely used for astrometric and meteorological observations, was torn down after the Spanish conquest. In addition to a key temple location, the mountain offered the Aztec panoramic views of the east, allowing them to note changing weather patterns and forecast the rains their freshly-planted crops would require.
While many Aztec gods live on in works of fiction, or may even continue to exist as cultural icons, Tlaloc seems to have persisted in a more substantial fashion.
When the Spanish defeated the Aztec Empire, they immediately began to impose Christianity on the locals. Practicing the Aztec religion was banned and the Inquisition was quickly set up to monitor and curtail any illicit worship. Tlaloc worship proved to be one of the more difficult aspects of Aztec religion to stop; the natives quickly turned back to him when a drought struck in 1539.10
Piedra de los Tecomates
In the town of San Miguel Coatlinchan (sometimes just called Coatlinchan) a massive statute of Tlaloc was discovered in the late 1880s. The monolith was identified as Tlaloc in 1903, and locals soon began venerating it as a symbol of the deity. The locals referred to this monolith as Piedra de los Tecomates, named after its gourd-like crevices. The statue was regarded as having prophetic powers: water accumulating in the tecomates indicated forthcoming rain. Additionally, the accumulated water itself was regarded as having curative powers.11
In 1963, the 168-ton statue was relocated to Mexico City during the dry season. Allegedly, on the day the statue arrived in Mexico City, "the heaviest thunderstorm ever recorded during this time of year swept over the valley. Incessant rain poured from the sky for days in what some claimed could only be a supernatural event."12
The statue can still be visited in Chapultepec Park, Mexico City.
Tlalocan: A Temple Rebuilt
The temple atop Tlalocan was destroyed, likely by the Spanish Inquisition or their supporters, during the early 1500s. The archaeological record shows that, following the temple's destruction, the mountaintop went seemingly unused for centuries. That changed in the 20th century, however, when a research group discovered that a small temple had been rebuilt sometime between 1957 and 1982.
The artist Jesse Hernandez has released several pieces dedicated to Tlaloc. The first came out in 2008 and was a 16" Qee painted with classic Tlaloc inspired motifs. In 2018 he designed a limited edition Dunny (a type of collectible vinyl art toy) that resembled Tlaloc.

Do you have to stop for a school bus on a four lane road in Ohio?
If a road is divided into four or more lanes, a driver approaching a stopped school bus from the opposite direction does not need to stop. Only drivers on the same side of the roadway need to stop. On a four lane road, Ohio law also requires students to be picked up and dropped off on the same side as their residence.
You might be interested: Quick Answer: Which Lanes Have To Stop For A School Bus?
When a school bus is stopped on a two lane or four lane highway and its red warning lights are flashing and its stop signal arm is extended you must?
Yes, it is illegal and a traffic violation to pass a stopped school bus on a two-lane roadway when a school bus is flashing its red lights and/or a stop arm is extended. When a stopped school bus is flashing its red lights are, this means that it is taking on or dropping off passengers.
Do you have to stop for a bus on a 3 lane road in Ohio?
In the state of Ohio, you must stop when driving from either direction (does not apply to multiple-lane or divided highways) until the children are safely off the street and the school bus lights stop flashing.
What is the fine for going around a school bus?
First offense is a fine of at least $250. Second offense is a fine between $500 to $1000 and a 6 month license suspension. Third or subsequent offense is a fine between $1,000 and $2,000 and a license suspension of 1 year. Must stop at least 20 feet away from a school bus.
When a school bus is loading or unloading students you do not need to stop?
You must stop at least thirty feet from a stopped school bus that is loading or unloading children. This is required by law whether you are meeting the bus or traveling behind it.
What is the first thing a driver should do after deciding to make a turn?
First you will need to stop at the stop line, make sure that you do not interfere with pedestrians, bicyclists, or vehicles moving on their green light, and make a turn. If a street has a left turn lane, you must use it when you turn left.
You might be interested: Question: How Heavy Is A Chevy C60 School Bus?
What does it mean when a school bus is stopped and its red lights flashing?
FLASHING RED LIGHTS ON SCHOOL BUSES MEANS OTHER VEHICLES MUST STOP. A school bus stops to drop off children. These flashing lights mean the bus is picking up or discharging students and you need to STOP even on divided and multi-lane highways.
When you come to a four way stop who has the right away?
Yield to right. When two vehicles arrive at a 4-way stop at the same time, and are located side-by-side, the vehicle furthest to the right has the right of way. If three vehicles arrive at the same time, the car furthest left should continue to yield until both of the other cars to the right of them have passed.
When approaching a school bus that is stopped on the opposite side of a center turning lane on a four lane roadway drivers?
Must stop until the lights stop flashing. When approaching a school bus that is stopped on the opposite side of a center turning lane on a four-lane roadway, drivers may continue driving. Drivers should still drive with extra caution when driving near a stopped school bus.
How far do you have to live from a school to get a bus in Ohio?
Are there state laws that set the standards for bus stop location? No law requires a parent to see the bus stop from home. Students in Ohio may be assigned to a bus stop up to one-half mile from their home and we encourage parents to accompany their child to the bus stop whenever possible.
You might be interested: How Mucu Money Does It Costs To Fill A School Bus In Gas?
What does a solid line on the road mean?
When normal or wide solid white lines are painted between travel lanes, you should stay in your lane. The solid line means that crossing the line marking is discouraged. You should only change lane when it is necessary to avoid an incident.
Can you go around a school bus with yellow flashing lights?
When you're traveling behind a school bus that begins flashing their lights the answer is very clear; you need to stop. As the yellow lights come on the speed limit is reduced to 20mph, regardless of what the street signs say. So attempting to speed up and pass the bus is an absolute violation of the law.
Can you go around a school bus?
You must remain stopped as long as the red lights flash or the stop arm is out. The only exception to this is where you are approaching the bus from the opposite direction on a road with at least two lanes in each direction. When overtaking a school bus, you may not pass when red or amber warning lights are flashing.
Do school buses have exterior cameras?
Do school buses have cameras in California? Not yet. Senate Bill 371 would allow school districts to install external stop arm cameras.


One hundred twenty years ago, lawyer Paul J. Harris moved his practice to Chicago. While he enjoyed the new opportunity his adopted city afforded, Harris missed the friendly relationships he knew growing up in a small Vermont town.
One fall day in 1900, while walking around the Windy City's North Side with Bob Frank, Harris noticed the connections his friend had made with local shopkeepers and it made him long for this kind of interaction. He wondered if, like himself, other professionals who had emigrated from rural America to the big cities, might be experiencing the same feeling of loss.
Over the next few years, Harris couldn't stop asking himself this question: Could such human connection activity be channeled into organized settings for professionals and business people? Today we know the answer to Harris' question is civic groups, but at the dawn of the 20th century, this innovation had yet to be invented.
Then on February 23, 1905, Paul Harris put his connection question to the test when he and three friends founded the world's first civic club. They named it Rotary because they planned to rotate weekly meetings between each member's office.
Now an international success story, 33,000 Rotary clubs around the globe are still based on Harris's founding principle of "Service above Self." Harris' original dream was to connect people for the benefit of all parties. He probably didn't use this term, but his 1905 connecting formula is the modern definition of networking.
Three-quarters of a century later, Ivan Misner had a dream of creating a structured networking model when he founded Business Network International. Misner's goal was very much like Harris's but with the specific purpose of business people meeting regularly to help each other grow their businesses.
The significant international success of Rotary and BNI has revealed and reinforced two important truths: 1) networking is an essential professional discipline; and 2) putting others first is powerful.
This month Rotarians will celebrate the 111th anniversary of Paul Harris' dream-come-true, and BNI celebrates International Networking Week. Whether you participate in a civic club, a BNI chapter, your local chamber of commerce or other group, become a more frequent, accomplished and selfless networker. Because face-to-face networking is the original social media and it's still important.
