We Believe:
- That God is the almighty, all-wise, omnipresent, and unchanging triune God of the Bible: infinite in holiness, justice, mercy, and love. God the Father is provident, sovereign, and the author of our salvation through Christ. He created all things and reigns over all. God the Son, Jesus Christ, left the glories of heaven, was born of a virgin,lived on earth as a sinless man, died on the cross, and rose again for the salvation of all mankind. God the Holy Spirit, proceeds from the Father and the Son, indwells the heart of every believer, and gives power over sin.
- That God created all things visible and invisible. He prepared and populated the earth, heaven, and seas in six days. Later, because of the sinfulness of mankind, He destroyed the earth through a worldwide flood, while saving righteous Noah and his family in the ark. God still governs and preserves his creation through his wisdom and might today.
- That the first parents of mankind, Adam and Eve, fell into sin through disobedience to God, were banished from the Garden of Eden, and became spiritually separated from God. Because of this sin, man became a mortal being and death entered into the world. Man is saved from spiritual and eternal death through repentance and believing in Jesus and His finished work on Calvary. True salvation is evidenced and followed by water baptism, a life of repentance, and becoming a member of a local congregation as a part of the greater body of Christ. All who believe in Christ look for His soon return to take the church, His bride, home for all eternity. All who do not believe will face eternal punishment.
- That the Holy Bible is inspired by God; inerrant in the original documents, and valid for all times. Jesus is central to the message of all the Scriptures. The doctrine and instruction of the New Testament is the final rule of life for the believer in the Kingdom of God.
- That God, at creation, has established that marriage is only between one man and one woman and is binding until dissolved by death. God established unique roles for man and woman, with man being given the responsibility of leadership. This order is symbolized by the short hair, and uncovered heads of men, and the long hair and covered heads of women.
- That, as the Bride of Christ, we are called to live holy lives guided by transformed minds, refusing to be shaped by the influences, principles, and practices of the godless world.
- That there are two kingdoms: the kingdom of Christ and His church, and the kingdom of this world. Our primary allegiance is to the kingdom of Christ. We honor civil authorities, pay taxes, pray for our leaders, live obediently and peaceably. We abstain from political involvement, demanding our rights, warfare, and unequal alliances with unbelievers. We practice nonresistance in our daily lives, as taught and demonstrated by Christ and the apostles. In matters where we are unable to defer to both kingdoms, we choose loyalty to the kingdom of Christ, while maintaining our attitudes of honor and respect.

Before the General Assembly of Occupy Dallas,
Whereas the General Assembly of Occupy Dallas stands in support of Occupy Wall Street which started September 17, 2011 at Liberty Square in Manhattan's Financial District. The movement has now spread across the country and is influencing the world. Occupy Dallas is a horizontally organized resistance movement to counteract the unprecedented consolidation of wealth and power in the world today. The Occupy movement does not have a hierarchy or a formalized structure. The Occupy movement represents those that feel disenfranchised from the current socioeconomic system because of policy passed by our political institutions and the actions of those in control of the unprecedented consolidation of wealth;
Whereas by consensus we view that for the first time in American history, current generations will not be as prosperous as preceding generations. This denial of the American Dream is at the heart of Occupy Movement.
Whereas by consensus we view that the social system has become tilted against us by:
1. Unfair treatment and discrimination against individuals based on Gender, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, Race, National Origin, Physical Ability or any other factor that minimizes any person's individual worth
2. The commoditization of individual privacy
3. Profit driven news sources with individual agendas
4. Narrow definitions of what constitutes a family;
Whereas by consensus we view that the Political system has become tilted against us by:
1. Widespread deregulation that has eliminated common sense regulations that have insured long term prosperity and protection from predatory business practices
2. A Tax code that is cumbersome and rife with loopholes and language that favors an economic minority at the expense of the majority of wage earners
3. A Supreme Court decision that has put into place the unprecedented concept of extending first amendment protections to political donations
4. Jeopardizing the future of social security through investiture and privatization schemes
5. By reducing funding to our education system our future generations are provided a lesser education that previous generations received because of increased class size and reduced resources
6. Because of decreasing funding individuals are saddled with higher student loan debt
7. A political system where even the most perfunctory tasks of government are partisan battles;
Whereas by consensus we view that the Economic system has become tilted against us by:
1. A general degradation of the employer and employee relationship namely
a. the practice referred to as "dead peasants" insurance policies where by companies profit from the death of individuals.
b. the elimination of traditional pension and retirement arrangements in favor of 401 (k) investment vehicles.
c. outsourcing of jobs
d. failing or eliminating paid sick leave
e. failing or eliminating paid maternity leave
f. relying on part-time workers rather than investing in full time employees
g. scheduling work hours to insure that employees cannot obtain offered benefits
h. failing to provide a livable wage
i. reducing and eliminating employer based health care coverage
2. Incredible income disparity between management and employees.
3. Active discouragement and intimidation of unionization of the workforce
4. Instituting illogical accounting practices
5. Engaging in unethical business practices that jeopardize the long term financial stability of the country
6. Viewing financial profit as more important than the individual worth of a people.
Then let it them be resolved by the General Assembly of Occupy Dallas through consensus on Date (___________________) that we call upon all people to engage in a General Strike on November 30th, 2011. We implore all people to:
1. Refrain from Buying or Selling any goods or services including but not limited to, any petroleum products, consumer goods or bank transactions; starting at 12:01 am to 11:59pm on November 30th, 2011.
2. Refrain from working for a wage starting at 12:01 am to 11:59pm on November 30th, 2011 excluding those individuals that provide emergency and necessary functions including but not limited to Police, Fire and Medical personnel.
3. Join or form local groups to peacefully protest against the above stated elements.
Please join us in solidarity to make known our grievances and demand substantive change to insure our future.

Occupy Dallas Calls for General Strike: Nov. 30th
The economic crisis in the South
From a New York Times article
The once-booming South, which entered the recession with the lowest unemployment rate in the nation, is now struggling with some of the highest rates, recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show.
Several Southern states — including South Carolina, whose 11.1 percent unemployment rate is the fourth highest in the nation — have higher unemployment rates than they did a year ago. Unemployment in the South is now higher than it is in the Northeast and the Midwest, which include Rust Belt states that were struggling even before the recession.
For decades, the nation's economic landscape consisted of a prospering Sun Belt and a struggling Rust Belt. Since the recession hit, though, that is no longer the case. Unemployment remains high across much of the country — the national rate is 9.1 percent — but the regions have recovered at different speeds.
Now, though, of the states with the 10 highest unemployment rates, six are in the South. The region, which relied heavily on manufacturing and construction, was hit hard by the downturn.
Economists offer a variety of explanations for the South's performance. "For a long time we tended to outpace the national average with regard to economic performance, and a lot of that was driven by, for lack of a better word, development and in-migration," said Michael Chriszt, an assistant vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's research department. "That came to an abrupt halt, and it has not picked up."
Rebel Against Capitalism Forum, Durham NC
Demonstrations and occupations against the capitalist crisis, austerity, mass unemployment and attacks against unions continue to escalate across the world. From Wisconsin, where the workers were able to defeat anti-union bill, to North Carolina where massive state budget cuts will gut over 10,000 state jobs and slash vital services, people are rising up and getting organized. The resistance in Spain, now in its third week of mass demonstrations, is sending ripples across the rest of the continent as other young people and workers organize protests. Similar struggle continues in North Africa with the people of Yemen recently kicking out their Prime Minister. As the capitalist crisis fails to recover, and permanent mass employment becomes a reality, the struggle for workers power will continue at home and abroad.
Come to a public forum with the Durham branch of Workers World Party as we discuss some of the lessons and history of these recent peoples' movements.
Speakers include:
Gilbert Johnson, president AFSCME Local 82 at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee – speaking about the struggle in Wisconsin against attacks by Governor Walker to dismantle basic union rights.
Ben Carroll, member of Workers World Party, is an organizer with NC Defend Education coalition and has been closely following the developments in Spain and written about it for Workers World newspaper, will report on the growing struggle and occupations of Madrid.
Ashaki Binta, member of Black Workers for Justice and organizer with UE local 150, NC Public Service Workers Union, reports on the struggles of public workers in North Carolina fighting up against draconian budget cuts that only benefit the rich, corporations and banks.
Light refreshments and drinks will be served.

BP spill: One year since worst oil spill ever
[originally posted at PSLweb]
April 18, 2011Deepwater Horizon explosion, April 20, 2010
The writer was part of a delegation that traveled to the Gulf at the onset of the crisis to meet with affected fishermen, workers and activists as part of the Seize BP campaign calling for the seizure of BP's assets to pay for the cleanup and fully compensate economic losses of those in the region. Demonstrations were held in cities across the country at that time.
One year after causing the worst oil spill in history, BP has claimed 2010 as their "best year in safety performance" in their company's history, even as workers in the Gulf region continue to suffer from the disaster.
Adding insult to injury, BP executives recently rewarded themselves with "safety bonuses." BP's CEO Steve Newman's bonus last year was $374,062, which is really just a tip since Newman usually rakes in almost $6 million a year. Transocean managers—the owners of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig—received up to two-thirds of the total possible "safety" bonuses.
Role of capitalist state exposed
The explosion on the Deep Horizon off-shore rig 50 miles off the Louisiana coast left 11 workers dead, 17 injured and more than 200 million tons of oil in the Gulf of Mexico, wreaking untold damage on the environment and economies of the Gulf states. The aftermath of the profit-driven catastrophe showed the true power of big oil and exposed the government and state as managers of the interests of the capitalist class.
Millions of gallons of oil poured into the Gulf and hundreds of thousands of gallons of Corexit and other toxic dispersants—banned in 19 countries—were pumped in to conceal it. At the same time, the Obama administration approved dozens of off-shore drilling projects in the early days of the crisis, showing all the more in Obama's own words that the federal government's relationship to big oil is indeed "cozy."
It took BP several attempts to cap the gusher, finally succeeding on July 15—nearly three months later.
CNN just received the "prestigious" Peabody Award for journalism for their comprehensive coverage of the disaster, acting as only one mouthpiece of the apparatus to echo BP's efforts and the federal government's endorsement.
BP headquarters in Houma, La., carefully released information on their efforts and promises to deal with the disaster—although the press or public could not walk into BP headquarters to verify that. Again, to show the relationship between big oil and the government, it was not BP's private security at the gates of their operations headquaters in Louisiana. It was staffed by the Department of Homeland Security.
Michael Bromwich, head of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, is pressuring federal officials for $100 million, not to clean up the Gulf disaster or compensate workers and residents, but to speed up the infrastructure to approve more permits for drilling in the Gulf. Already in mid-March, Anglo-Suisse claimed responsibility for another oil spill, while yet more lip service was given to the need for "federal oversight."
Workers, residents report chronic health effects
The working and oppressed people of Gulf have another story to tell. Exemplified in one man's story who lives 100 miles from the coast, a recent report showed that he tested as having higher levels of chemicals from BP's spill than actual clean-up workers.
Hundreds of thousands of gallons of toxic dispersants were pumped into the Gulf at the time.
The health problems resulting from the spill continue to become apparent while peoples' pleas for medical care to address the toxic health affects of the spill continue to be ignored by BP and government authorities.
Many of the clean-up workers were fishermen and others who became unemployed during the disaster. These workers lived under appalling conditions and became exposed to toxic oil and chemicals.
"If I wanted to be in prison, I would break the law and go to jail," explained one clean-up worker when asked to describe the living conditions of the "floating hotels" set-up by BP.
At one point, these workers carried out a strike to demand better housing. Most of them are still waiting for compensation for their claims from BP.
Major health problems are being seen among people exposed to both the oil and the dispersants used in the cleanup. According to Dr. Rodney Soto, a Florida physician, both the oil and the dispersants contain volatile organic compounds that cause an array of negative health problems. (Al-Jazeera)
According to Soto, between five and seven VOCs have been found in his patients who also report symptoms and illnesses including vomiting, kidney damage, lung damage, burning sensations in the nose and throat, skin irritation and liver damage.
Alabama resident Lloyd Pearcey worked on a BP clean-up team for four months. He has chemicals from oil and dispersants in his blood, according to tests conducted by Soto. Pearcey is now battling cancer.
Others who did not work in the cleanup currently have similar medical complications. Even more troubling, others with toxins present in their blood today may present symptoms or illnesses later as a result of the exposure.
As time goes on, there are potentially "tremendous implications in the human immune system, hormonal function, and brain function," according to Soto.
Untold environmental damage
While BP reports that they have completed clean-up efforts in Mississippi, residents report a strange foamy substance washing up on shore that could very well be connected to dispersants used.
Yet the Environmental Protection Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, state health departments and President Obama have joined the chorus with BP that the beaches and seafood from the Gulf are safe.
"It's criminal for the government to tell people to eat the contaminated seafood, and that it's alright for people go to our toxic beaches and swim in the contaminated water," Dr. Soto said.
The environmental impact continues to be assessed with alarming statistics. One report showed that 60 percent of Louisiana coastal land erosion resulted from the spill. In reality, the extent of the erosion has not been fully calculated, but could be as much as the size of the state of Delaware.
The Gulf Coast shoreline is a fragile and complex ecological system—a system that protects the interior against hurricanes as well as providing a cycle of food for many different species. Thus, oil contamination on the coast kills off microscopic algae, a base food, cutting off nutrients to fish, shrimp, oysters and then larger species, such as birds, land animals and humans.
Toxic dispersants remain in the Gulf of Mexico. It is clear that this was a strategy not to clean up the spill, but to conceal it deep in the sea, impacting deep-sea wildlife for generations to come.
Oil from the BP spill remains stuck on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, according to marine scientist Samantha Joye of the University of Georgia. She presents evidence that the oil is not degrading as expected and is killing life on the sea floor.
Her videos and photographs taken deep below the surface show dead crabs, pale starfish and suffocated tube worms, which are all sea life key to the larger ecological cycle.
The sea life not only suffered from the oil itself; the fire that lasted for days produced a tremendous amount of methane and soot that ultimately will reach the marshes, beaches and barrier islands where other wildlife nest and breed in the Gulf.
No real compensation for the people of the Gulf
BP has assets of $152 billion. If British Petroleum were a nation it would rank 35th richest in the world, if its assets were calculated as gross national product. The Seize BP Campaign demanded that the assets of British Petroleum be seized by the government—the only entity that could carry out such an action.
These demands did not place faith in a government at the service of big oil, but demanded that the funds be placed into a trust that could quickly and easily assist the people of the Gulf and the clean-up efforts and be made available as more damages became uncovered.
This trust would have been administered by the people from the harmed area. The trustees were to include representatives of the fishers, shrimpers, crabbers, unions, small business people and workers in the tourism and recreation industry, local elected officials, clergy, and independent scientists and environmentalists.
Instead of full compensation for the people of the Gulf or the people of the Gulf having a say in their futures, Obama made Kenneth Feinberg trustee for distributing what BP was willing to pay. Feinberg was previously appointed to hand out the billions of taxpayers' money in the bailout for the banks, insurance companies and their criminal executives. Feinberg holds the purse strings to the escrow fund rather than the people who are most impacted.
BP has been promoting the idea that the tourist industry in the Gulf was not affected by the disaster. In fact, many hotels were booked with clean-up workers and others working on the spill. Yet hotel and tourist industry representatives report that these visitors did not come to the Gulf to enjoy the beaches, eat in the restaurants and participate in one of the largest industries—sport fishing.
Just a month ago, local workers who assisted in the clean-up efforts and are suffering from poor health and other damages to their boats filed suit in New Orleans, naming BP and the other co-owners of Deepwater Horizon as well as the manufacturer of the toxic dispersants. The suit is seeking compensation for bodily harm and unpaid wages.
The White House announced a criminal investigation into BP, Transocean, the well operator contractor, and Halliburton, the second largest company in the world in oil field services, which cemented the rig. We know all too well what the result of a White House-led investigation will be—a slap on the wrist at best.
The oil giants' drive for profits has resulted in theft of land from indigenous peoples in Louisiana to peoples of the Middle East, untold environmental havoc and millions of deaths from wars and occupations. The BP oil disaster has made all the more clear the need to continue to build a movement to eradicate the private ownership of the earth's resources, so that the people of the planet can plan and safely extract needed resources without jeopardizing the poorest now and generations to come.

Collective Bargaining in the South
By KurtFF8
A recent AP article points out that 9 of the 10 states in the United States that lack collective bargaining rights for state workers are found in the South. The article points out that in places like Virginia, the drive is to move pensions from a government benefit for state workers to an investment in the private sector.
This is a Neo-Liberal move that is in line with the continued "enclosure of the commons" method of taking everything that is in the public sector and making it for profit in the private sector. When unions are unable to negotiate for their own workers, the balance of power remains more firmly at the top with the most powerful of society. As Leftists, we don't merely want to call for a "balance of power," however. Our goal is to tip the balance in favor of the working class so it can itself achieve power for itself as a class.
The fact that the majority of states that lack collective bargaining for state workers fall in the South underlines the argument that organizing in the South should be a top priority for those who want to build the labor movement in general.
Workers and Students in North Carolina, Virginia and Throughout the South: Follow the Lead of Wisconsin Workers and Students!
Posted by hastenawait, taken from Fight Back! News
Resistance in the U.S. to attacks on the public sector is growing. Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin is unleashing a major assault, seeking to take away collective bargaining rights from state and possibly all public sector workers, including threatening to call out the National Guard against worker resistance.
The labor movement and the students are fighting back. Labor, including public and private sector unions held a rally in Madison at the State Capital, turning out 30,000 people, demanding that the Governor's bill be defeated.
High school students throughout Wisconsin walked out of their schools to protest against this attack, which also affects their teachers and education. The Madison School Superintendent was forced to close the schools on Tuesday after 40 percent out of 2,600 members of the teachers union called in sick. The students see their actions as part of the growing struggles for people's democracy that took center stage by the mass actions of the youth and workers in Tunisia and Egypt.
The U.S. South is been a bastion of right-to-work laws, denying public sector workers the right to collective bargaining. Dr. Martin L. Kings lost his life supporting the struggle of the Memphis, Tennessee sanitation workers who were fighting for this right, which he saw as a next phase of the Civil Rights struggle.
North Carolina and Virginia have specific laws making it illegal for workers and state and local governments to bargain for union contracts. Most of these laws were enacted during the period of Jim Crow, when Blacks were denied the right to vote and had no representatives in Southern state legislatures. When the state and local governments deny their own workers this basic right, it sends a message to all workers in the region, that the governments are hostile to unions.
The lack of a concerted movement to organize public sector workers throughout the South based on a program that includes winning collective bargaining rights, has been a major factor weakening the few efforts to organize unions in the South.
The major restructuring of the core industries of the U.S. economy over the past 30 years, resulted in shifting more than 1/3 of the auto industry and other formerly unionized manufacturing to the South. There are more union members in the state of New York, than in all of the 11 Southern states combined.
The largely un-unionized South has undermined labor's strength as a national movement. Organizing labor in the South must be addressed, if the U.S. labor movement is to survive and be a powerful force for workers in the U.S. and global economy.
The economic crisis is increasing the competition between the states for industries and investments, in their efforts at economic recovery. The unionized states outside of the South, in their efforts to shift more public resources to private corporations through privatizations, tax breaks and major incentives, are sharpening their attacks on public sector unions to compete with the Southern states and low wage labor internationally. Attempts to roll back collective bargaining are now occurring in Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota, as well as Wisconsin. Right to work bills are pending in about a dozen Northern states. Public service jobs, wages and benefits are under attack just about everywhere.
National resistance to the attacks on public sector, must therefore link the struggles against attacks to eliminate existing public sector rights to collective bargaining, with the struggles of public sector workers concentrated in the South, who are denied this right.
The NC Public Service Workers Union UE-Local 150 has been in the forefront of the movement to repeal the ban on collective bargaining rights for public sector workers in North Carolina. Through its International Worker Justice Campaign, it has won a ruling from the International Labor Organization finding the U.S. and North Carolina out of compliance with international laws.
In addition to fighting for collective bargaining rights, UE150 is initiating campaigns for legislative and local government workers bill of rights, pressing to make the terms and conditions of public sector workers a part of the political agendas.
Public sector workers and unions throughout the South must form a Southern Alliance for Collective Bargaining Rights, to launch a region-wide movement. The South must become a strategic battleground for the U.S. and international labor movement, demanding that the U.S. and the South comply with international human rights standards.
The American Prison System
by KurtFF8 (Mike C)
There have been various stories relating the the conditions of the prison system in the United States in the news recently. From the under reported (yet perhaps most significant) recent Georgia Prisoner's strike to the high profile solitary confinement of Bradley Manning who gained notoriety for his involvement in leaking a video to Wikileaks. This attention should be seen as an opportunity to open up space for debate on the very structure of our prisons.
There is also the case of Cornelius Dupree, Jr.who was just freed in Texas after 30 years of being in prison when DNA evidence showed that he was actually innocent. According to his attorney, Texas has had the most DNA exonerations of any state, and Dallas the most within Texas. This is of course a disturbing trend that may certainly be seen as yet another case of institutional racism that has a strong tradition (especially in the South, but of course not limited to the South) and seems to be rather obvious in these cases as according to the Innocence Project, almost 60% of those exonerated post-conviction via DNA are African American.
Bradley Manning's conditions have been highlighted in the international press recently, with an emphasis on his mental health as a result of being in solitary confinement for a long period of time. The interesting thing about the Manning case is that it is being portrayed in the media as a sort of political imprisonment by the United States, while the majority of cases that activists consider to be clear cases of political imprisonment tend to be portrayed as seen that way only by a small fringe. Thus the case offers yet another example for the Left to call into question this system.
The most bizarre incident is the Georgia Prisoner's strike. I say bizarre because of the relative silence (or at least not much emphasis) by the "mainstream media" on what has been labeled the largest prisoner's strike in the history of the United States. For example, if you compare two New York Times articles that came out within a day of each other, you'll find one long article about the new "problem" of smart phones in prisons (and it does detail the strike). The NAACP recently claimed that there was violent retaliation against striking prisoners which was certainly anticipated by prisoner rights activists, yet this story got one paragraph in the NYT.
Taking these various stories together, and how they were covered by the media makes for an interesting trend that reveals a small bit of ideology that dominates our conversations here. The cases of Cornelius Dupree, Jr. and Bradley Manning received more attention than the Georgia prisoner's strike. Why is this the case? One part of the answer can certainly be traced to ideology: when an individual is treated poorly by the system, this is a miscarriage of justice that simply needs to be corrected. When prisoners from across an entire state come together and challenge the system itself, this calls into question the system itself. The strike also defied stereotypes of prisons divided along racial lines, when all prisoners of different races worked together to demand better conditions. This ideological reasoning can at least help us understand why events like the Georgia strike are not emphasized by the media.
There are many problems about the American prison system. The United States has the largest prison population on Earth (in terms of raw numbers and as a percentage of our population); the United States has increasingly allow private corporations to run prisons for profit, which includes free labor from their inmates (which some people rightfully equate to modern day slavery); Racism continues to play an important roll . And the biggest problem of all: There is not a national debate about this, these issues are not constantly being discussed on CNN every night, we're not having town hall meetings about it.
This is an important issues, especially in the US South where prison populations seem to be particularly large (For example, New Orleans having the biggest incarceration rate in the World). It's time we start reframing these issues and start organizing.

The Cairn Collection welcome the first Jesmond Gin Festival
The Cairn Collection welcome the first Jesmond Gin Festival
Jesmond is set to be full of spirit this August as seven venues from Osborne Road's popular bar and restaurant scene put aside their friendly rivalry and unite for the very first time. This will see the lively suburb play host to a free to attend festival for the North East's gin lovers to enjoy.
Jesmond Gin Festival will run from Thursday 03 to Sunday 06 August 2017, bringing together over 30 brands including local and globally-recognised distilleries to offer ginthusiasts tastings and educational masterclasses, with an interactive map to complete.
Gin lovers rejoice as local brands featuring include Lakes Gin and Alnwick Gin, as well as Kokoro, Bulldog, Moray, Fair, Daffy's, Tanqueray, Portobello, JJ Whitley, Masons and Hepple.
Led by Cairn Group, three of its Jesmond based venues will be involved in the four-day long event, including Spy Bar, Asian-fusion bar and restaurant Sohe and gastro bar 97 & Social (housed within The Cairn Collection's very own Cairn Hotel Newcastle).
Whether you're a gin novice or connoisseur, it's no secret that it is the drink of the moment, whether enjoyed as a perfect serve or as the main ingredient within a tempting cocktail. To celebrate this, each of the participating bars will be offering special gin-based cocktails for festival goers to toast, as well a selection of tasty food offerings fit for the occasion.
Amongst Sohe's mixes will be a Singapore Sling – one of the best known Asian-inspired cocktails; 97 & Social will be paying homage to The Alnwick Garden with a refreshing blend and Spy Bar will serve the classic Tom Collins.
Cocktails will be suitable for a variety of budgets with fixed price bands of £5.50, £6.50 and £7.50, with all venues adding their own style and individual twist. Other venues involved include Jam Jar, Billabong, Bar Blanc and Osbornes.
Gin fans who register in advance will be able to collect an exclusive wristband and map showing the participating bars, which visitors can get stamped at each location over the course of the festival.

text: As a destination for travelers worldwide, the 2011 version of Busch Gardens in Tampa is quite different from the 1959 version. Today, Busch Gardens encompasses 335 acres of modern day theme park rides, exhibits, shows, and conveniences. With seven roller coasters and three water rides, there is plenty to occupy the time of the thrill seekers, while animal lovers will have more than enough exotic animals to marvel over. Visitors in early 2011 will find it hard not to notice a new roller coaster currently under construction. Set to open in May of 2011 is Cheetah Hunt, which will be a 3 ½ minute thrill ride traversing through much of the park. The popular African Themed Animal Theme Park has evolved from its early days as a hospitality facility for the adjacent Anheuser-Busch Brewery, and had no admission fee. Eventually, as the brewery closed down, and times changed, more attractions and exhibits were added, as well as admission fees, and the park has become the destination for over 4 million people from around the world. If you're planning a visit to Busch Gardens, get there early, and expect a full day of rides and exhibits. Hop on SheiKra for the 90 degree drops, slip from one end of the park to another aboard the steam engine propelled Serengeti Express, or cool down on a hot day riding the Stanley Falls log flume. There is something for all ages at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay!!

Biological Wastewater Treatment is Important for US
Biological Wastewater Treatment is helpful for the recycling of the water. Now it is easy to clean and secure to renew the water.
Water is easily available to anybody for no price and at any place. It is a well known fact that the earth is made of mostly water. Human life is entirely depends on water for everyday things and it is up there with requiring food. Some of the regular tasks chores that we should complete cannot be completed in the absence of water to help. In case, water is used, can it be recycled to be accessible again?
Even wastewater is recyclable when it ends a process recognized as wastewater treatment. There is not just one technique for wastewater treatment. Many of the approaches are still as fine today as they were some years back. This approach of wastewater treatment turns rid of the odor by getting relieve of the algae or even bacteria in the water. The taste is also prepared better by chemicals being new to it in other treatment procedures. The elements are selected out with a filtration procedure. Process for handling wastewater varies in several approaches to make sure that the water is clean and secure for you to reuse repeatedly.
Wastewater Filtration
Biological Treatment of Wastewater for treating wastewater that is titled as filtration, brings out the particles in the wastewater by taking the particles and allowing the residual water flow throughout a membrane. The filter sieves the water and the particles happens them to divide from each other. As compared to one filter kind is offered for the filtration technique. Straightforward filters that look like fine nets are also used for the smaller staff in the water. For the micro sized particles, a higher system for filtering is desirable.
Each of them filter has its own life expectation. After sift has been utilized for an extensive period of time and the particles are collected into the filter and the water will begin to flow through it gradually. To get rid of the collected particles right away from the filter, it will require to be washed by a technique known as backwashing. Make use of the filter and flipping it inside out and successively water through it will divide the particles from the clean. If this technique does not assist the flow of water through the filter, change of the filter become compulsory.
Wastewater ventilation
Industries make use of the aeration method of treating wastewater ahead of the residential sectors carried out. Aeration easily implies that air is carried out to the water. The water turns oxygenated by the air. Industrial Water Treatment is finished to get freedom of the foul odor making chemicals. These chemicals could be ammonia or even hydrogen sulfide. There are various special methods to aerate the water.

This small silver cylinder is no bigger than a pinhead and is engraved with an Elven aphorism that roughly translates to "unhindered flight."
A silver nocking point can be attached to the string of any bow or crossbow. When using a weapon equipped with a silver nocking point, a character can treat penalties for wind conditions as though they were one step less severe. For example, a character firing a ranged projectile in severe wind conditions would fire at a ranged penalty of –2 instead of –4. Magical wind effects that would normally deflect the projectile (such as fickle winds) instead impose only a –8 penalty on the attack roll.

My first novel, Cinnamon Toast and the End of the World, was published by Hachette Ireland in March 2013, and is now available all over Canada (and world-wide through the magical internet). Cinnamon Toast was one of the 2012 winners of the Irish Writers' Centre's inaugural Novel Fair contest and was nominated for two Canadian literary awards in 2014. It also was a top ten choice for the American Library Association's Rainbow List (2015). The book tells the story of a small town kid coming of age in the late 1980's against the backdrop of the beautiful Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia. You'll find more information about it on this site.
You'll also find links to educational materials I've written for ESL/EFL learners, short fiction, details of current projects, the story of my life, a whole lot of 80s songs, and more. At any rate, it should please my mother.
While you're here, you can check out my blog, and please feel free to comment or drop me an email. Even if you're just selling Viagra.

New Economics Institute[edit]The roots of the NEC lay with the Schumacher Center for a New Economics (formerly the E.F. Schumacher Society) which was founded in 1980. In 2010, the NEC partnered with the New Economics Foundation (NEF) to create a new organisation called the New Economics Institute to promote alternative economic models. [1]
New Economics Network[edit]The New Economics Network was created by Sarah Stranahan in 2009 as a loose network of about two hundred organizations working for the new economy.[5] In a lecture for the National Council for Science and the Environment Gus Speth said the organisation wanted to create a sustainable and caring economy.[6]
Rename and merger[edit]In March 2012, Bob Massie became the president of the New Economics Institute.[7] In 2013, the New Economics Institute merged with the New Economy Network and became the New Economy Coalition.[1][8] Also in that year, Dave Pruett writing for the Huffington Post described the organization as one of two "leading the way toward economic viability".[9] Massie stepped down from being the coalition's president in October 2014.[10]
Partners[edit]The NEC is a sister organization of the New Economics Foundation (NEF) in London. Selected NEF publications are featured on the NEC's webpage.[11]
E F Schumacher[edit]The New Economy Coalition continue the work of British economist E. F. Schumacher. That is the of linking people, land, and community to build strong, diverse local economies.[12]
New Economy movement[edit]The New Economy movement is often referred to as just 'new economy'. It considers that the current economic system needs to be restructured.[5] The theory is based on the assumption that people and the planet should come first, and that it is human well-being, not economic growth, which should be prioritized.[13] It draws on an aggregate of alternative economic thought that challenges the fundamental assumptions of mainstream neoclassical and Keynesian economics.[14] Some of the approaches it includes a ecological economics, solidarity economy, commons, degrowth, systems thinking and Buddhist economics.[15]
Gar Alperovitz described the New Economy movement as "... a far-ranging coming together of organizations, projects, activists, theorists and ordinary citizens committed to rebuilding the American political-economic system from the ground up."[16] In 2009, Sarah van Gelder wrote, "The new economy is about increasing quality of life, improving health, and restoring the environment."[17]
The movement is entirely distinct from the definition of a service-based new economy as popularized during the late 1990s by Stephen B. Shepard, among others.[18]
Focus[edit]The NEC focuses on issues in North America and organizes there.[2] Writing for The Guardian Jo Confino noted the NEC's approach of getting organizations to work together that share common aims if not strategies.[4]
New economy movement advocacy[edit]The New Economy Coalition works to promote anyone it considers part of the New Economy movement.[2]
Student Organizing[edit]In 2012, the New Economy Coalition launched a student organizing initiative entitled The Campus Network: Campus Leadership in the New Economy. The initiative provided campuses across the country with financial and educational assistance in promoting the ideas of the New Economy through conferences, workshops, and other forms of strategic summits.[19]
Strategies for a New Economy Conference[edit]The New Economy Coalition hosted a conference entitled "Strategies for a New Economy" as a convening summit for diverse economic reformation efforts.[20] The conference was held from June 8–10, 2012 at Bard College in New York.[21]The conference featured workshops, strategizing sessions and lectures. More than 500 people were in attendance, representing over 300 organizations.[22]
CommonBound[edit]In June 2014 the CommonBound conference brought together movement leaders, activists and practitioners.[3] Nathan Schneider writing for Al Jazeera saw the conference as part of a wider commons movement.[15]
The Global Transition to a New Economy map[edit]This project aims to make a global map of all the projects self identifying as 'new economic'. The user-generated online map will plot a sampling of different projects happening around the world. The project is in collaboration with the Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Economy, New Economics Foundation, and the Green Economy Coalition. [23] The map was presented at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in June 2012 in Rio de Janeiro.[citation needed] Also in June, the map was awarded the 'map of the week' by the Google Geo Developers blog.[24]
As of February 2015 the site stated it would 'relaunch soon'.[25]

No matter what the economic situation is around the state or around the country, the need for reliable transportation doesn't change. We have demands from our jobs, our family, our friends, and all the parts of our busy lives.
But when less-than-perfect credit keeps us from being able to get that reliable transportation, it can feel like things are working against us. We need that mobility to go about our daily needs -- to live, to work, to make and enjoy the best of everything.
That's where Mitchell Subaru's Special Finance Solutions comes in. We work with select regional and national lenders, all of whom specialize in not only helping drivers get the auto loan they need, but in helping them build or rebuild the credit they deserve to succeed.
Our finance and credit professionals are specifically trained to help you get the loan approval you need to take the wheel of the perfect car, with the financing arrangement you deserve. In addition, following the terms of the loan will help those with little or no credit history to build that base, or for those with less-than-perfect credit to recover quickly and comfortably.

america online has announced that it will raise the price of its aol unlimited use plan to $23.90 from $21.95. according to the company, the price increase will begin in the july billing cycle and is the first increase in three years for the unlimited use plan.
america online says that the price increase will be used to help fund improvements in the aol service.

joel's opinion
while this news may not seem that exciting to most people, it does signal that more price increases are coming. i would bet that if aol gets away with an almost $2 monthly increase for unlimited use, cable companies, dsl providers, and other internet service providers will use it as an excuse to increase their fees as well.
i should also note that aol is only hiking the cost of its unlimited use plan. of course, it's probably one of the most commonly used plans, so i'm sure it's going to bring in a significant amount of cash to the company.
recently i read that the merger between aol and time warner was costing the company a lot more than it had initially projected. perhaps this price increase is the first step in a series of attempts to recover some of that cost?

i don't really see how aol can justify raising dial-up rates. with broadband around $39.99 in my area, it's just giving people more reason to switch. also, at&t is offering unlimited internet access for $7 per month if you have them as your long distance provider. i connect via cable, but why would anyone else pay $23.90, when they could only pay $7.
i've used aol some before and they have basically no original content. it is all just links to the web. it's definitely not worth the money. – by planetgenova

erols/starpower/rcn is also raising their rates. i just got an e-mail form them that they will be raising their rates next time i have to renew, so i am planning to switch to another provider (after more than 5 years). this means i have to move my web pages and e-mail account. i have cable modem access anyway, so i only use erols dial-up when i am away from home, or when cable is down, and i don't want to pay more for a service that i rarely use. – by eric

with so many people fight for access in a very "cramped" network, it's a wonder why anyone would put up with that bull. i tried aol years ago, and i thought it moved like a snail then. the more "stuff" they add to it, the more clogged up it will get. aol is for poeple who don't know any better. what a sorry misinformed lot. – by facethemusic

$23.90.??? aol won't survive this price increase without losing a couple thousand or more members. i admit i am an aol loser and am really thinking of ditching this sad excuse for the internet, namely aol. besides what's the use in staying on a service that decides gee whiz our earnings are falling short of our expectation, so lets make the members pay for our mistakes. aol is just beginning to dig it's own grave, let's all pray, really really hard!! – by email@example.com

…to be automatically billed, double billed, we forget your cancellations, etc…. no wonder we're number 1!
perhaps they plan on bringing out a nation-wide broadband system in the next few months, so this might make it easier for everyone to switch over?
seriously, what kind of 'improvements' do they plan on making? dial up is about as fast as it can go, they're quite saturated in many areas of the country and they're software is so bloated/patched, that an entire build from scratch is necessary, and $40,000k per month just won't cut it… i'd wish for once a company could put their improvements in writing. we'll be the judge if the criteria are met (and stock prices will fall if not)… we are paying their salaries ya know (well… not me, but too many people in this country). – by god�

what could they possible improve? maybe their bruttaly slow transfer rates? or maybe their ancient email system? maybe the money is needed to go aback and fix all the bugs in aol 6.0. by the way i don't find it a coincidence that 6.0 did not originally work with @home cable users. the service is truly a waste of money, save your hard earned cash for the bar.

i don't understand why some posters are so derelict like "bend over america." i for one can say i'm not a slave to aol because i don't have to use it. assuming "bend over america" is american, three dollar gas prices is what you voted for to reduce pollution, you should be happy. last, i am not forced to watch cnn. "big" business is not bad as long as there is competition, which there is plenty of in the usa. the aol time warner merger was big, but it has made no effect on me or my life since i live in a protected capitalist nation where i can choose to take my business elsewhere. – by the truth

(pun intended) hell, anything and everything having to do with aol-time warner is to be despised. but what can we do afterall they own alot of information sources. aol is inflating the price of aol for two reasons, greed and power. look at microsoft they rank right up there with aol. let the flaming begin… – by anti-trust alert

i say this because i lived off the free trials of aol for a whole year and thought, "why should i pay for this crappy service?" …then, i went on a search, and found juno! …and i've been using it for three years!
i've noticed that alot of my friends still like aol, mainly because of aim, well, i'm here to say that aim works with all isps.

|Effectiveness of Interval Exercise Training in Patients with COPD.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20957074 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|Physical training is beneficial and should be included in the comprehensive management of all patients with COPD independently of disease severity. Different rehabilitative strategies and training modalities have been proposed to optimize exercise tolerance. Interval exercise training has been used as an effective alternative modality to continuous exercise in patients with moderate and severe COPD.Although in healthy elderly individuals and patients with chronic heart failure there is evidence that this training modality is superior to continuous exercise in terms of physiological training effects, in patients with COPD, there is not such evidence. Nevertheless, in patients with COPD application of interval training has been shown to be equally effective to continuous exercise as it induces equivalent physiological training effects but with less symptoms of dyspnea and leg discomfort during training.The main purpose of this review is to summarize previous studies of the effectiveness of interval training in COPD and also to provide arguments in support of the application of interval training to overcome the respiratory and peripheral muscle limiting factors of exercise capacity. To this end we make recommendations on how best to implement interval training in the COPD population in the rehabilitation setting so as to maximize training effects.

by Dave Hargreaves, Director of Sawtooth Camp
Sawtooth, with its valley and hills, has always been a "place and experience" far away from the chaos of our everyday life. It is there that both old and young can find a special place to reflect on their lives and relationships. In stillness and solitude, it lies 35 miles away from the nearest small town, only a few miles from Idaho's designated Wilderness area. Sawtooth is a place where one can focus on God and Creation without all the interruptions of our noisy modern lifestyle. For 70 years in the silence of the forest, people have been able to really listen to one another and to hear God speak to them through the still and gentle whispering of nature.
In this setting, many are also inspired to help create and maintain facilities, protect spaces on the property, and provide programming. Their donation of time, talent, and funding promotes additional hospitality and invitation to what many have called " the sacred ground of Sawtooth."
Perhaps one of the most important tasks occurs after we go to camp to quench that thirst for love, discovering Gods' design for mankind on the mountaintop. It is upon returning tat we take that experience and vision back to a thirsty world. We invite you to drink well of Christ's love at camp, then go back to the world and share.

text: Right from the cover and the title of the album you might get what you're about to listen to. Pure West Coast Gangsta Rap at its best! MC Eight's rap style differs from most rappers, it's quite slowish but fits perfectly to the typical west coast sound being used. This is a must have for hardcore hip hop heads. Chyeah!

The Focussed Distraction is one bloke from Guildford, Jon McLeod, a guitar, some loop pedals and an effects box. With that minimal a set-up the lyrics are key, and McLeod's are wracked by loss, barely focused mounting anger and pretty much what the title implies, something aided by his straining vocal style.
Misery Jukebox by The Focussed Distraction
Not much to say about him thus far, so as an added extra here's his fine reworking of West End Girls.

text: Chocowinity Bay, The Shore, Water Salt Marsh October 2, 2018 Charles Thrasher Leave a comment I live now on the shore of Chocowinity Bay beneath Bald Cypress and Longleaf Pine. From my garret window I can see through the trees across the bay to the far shore and Whichard Beach. The bay is a shallow dint in the land that empties into the Pamlico River which empties into the Pamlico Sound. The Sound itself is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by North Carolina's Outer Banks. Chart of Chocowinity Bay, NC. Sidney Creek is the heart of the salt marsh. The Japanese have a word for the reason you get out of bed in the morning: ikigai. In the wonderful economy of the Japanese language, ikigai refers to the source of value in your life, the things that make your life worthwhile. It includes the mental and spiritual circumstances you feel makes your life valuable. Whatever your ikigai, it's personal and specific and faithfully reflects your inner self. The salt march at the head of Chocowinity Bay is my ikigai, the place where I return time and again. It's miniscule, bounded by a perimeter of less than 3 miles containing 3/10 of a square mile of surface area, and yet it feels infinite. The Bald Cypress standing like congregants beside the water, the morning light filtered through tendrils of Spanish moss, and the meadows of saltgrass carved into islands seem to exist outside of hectic, human time. The whistle of the Norfolk Southern locomotive approaching the railroad bridge at the head of the bay feels unstuck in time. Sunlight filtered through Spanish moss, salt marsh, Chocowinity Bay, NC I paddle to the salt march each morning, sometimes before first light. It's a short distance, half a mile, but a world apart. There is a boundary to the marsh. Beyond a vaguely defined edge there is a deepening quiet and sense of reverence. Certainly, I may be guilty of projecting my internal landscape but maybe I'm perceiving something projected by the landscape itself. It's arrogant to think we stand apart from the ground beneath our feet. Our rationality was always a thin disguise. Islands of salt grass, Chocowinity Bay, NC The light is always changing within the marsh. There are moments of stunning beauty as the bones of a ghost forest are silhouetted by the rising sun or clouds plunge the marsh into a patchwork quilt of sunlight and shadow. Then the light changes, the moment passes, and I'm distracted by the skirling cry of an eagle or the indignant squawk of blue heron.

CMS final rule to cut 2011 Medicare pay for physicians
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has issued a final rule that calls for a 24.9 percent pay cut for physicians beginning Jan. 1.
"While Congress has provided temporary relief from these reductions every year since 2003, a long-term solution is critical," said Donald Berwick, CMS administrator.
"Broad physician participation in Medicare is essential to ensuring that beneficiaries continue to have access to care, and physician engagement is critical to our efforts to strengthen the quality of care," Berwick said. "Medicare needs to be a strong, dependable partner with physicians – and that means the SGR must be fixed. The administration supports permanently reforming the Medicare payment formula."
According to CMS officials, the final rule with comment period continues recent efforts by the CMS to improve the accuracy of Medicare Physician Fee Schedule payment rates by implementing Affordable Care Act mandates to identify and revise payment for misvalued services.
It also addresses concerns about potential physician self-referral by requiring physicians who provide computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or positron emission tomography scans in their own offices to notify patients that they may receive the same services from other suppliers in the area.
The rule will also implement key provisions in the Affordable Care Act to expand preventive services for Medicare beneficiaries.
The final rule will appear in the Nov. 29 Federal Register, and CMS will accept comments on certain aspects until Jan. 2, 2011.

Rajagopal, Appavu and Aravinda, Subrayashastry and Raghothama, Srinivasarao and Shamala, Narayanaswamy and Balaram, Padmanabhan (2011) Chain Length Effects on Helix-Hairpin Distribution in Short Peptides with Aib-(D)Ala and Aib-Aib Segments. In: Biopolymers, 96 (6). pp. 744-756.

The Aib-(D)Ala dipeptide segment has a tendency to form both type-I'/III' and type-I/III beta-turns. The occurrence of prime turns facilitates the formation of beta-hairpin conformations, while type-I/III turns can nucleate helix formation. The octapeptide Boc-Leu-Phe-Val-Aib-(D)Ala-Leu-Phe-Val-OMe (1) has been previously shown to form a beta-hairpin in the crystalline state and in solution. The effects of sequence truncation have been examined using the model peptides Boc-Phe-Val-Aib-Xxx-Leu-Phe-NHMe (2, 6), Boc-Val-Aib-Xxx-Leu-NHMe (3, 7), and Boc-Aib-Xxx-NHMe (4, 8), where Xxx = (D)Ala, Aib. For peptides with central Aib-Aib segments, Boc-Phe-Val-Aib-Aib-Leu-Phe-NHMe (6), Boc-Val-Aib-Aib-Leu-NHMe (7), and Boc-Aib-Aib-NHMe (8) helical conformations have been established by NMR studies in both hydrogen bonding (CD(3)OH) and non-hydrogen bonding (CDCl(3)) solvents. In contrast, the corresponding hexapeptide Boc-Phe-Val-Aib-(D)Ala-Leu-Phe-Val-NHMe (2) favors helical conformations in CDCl(3) and beta-hairpin conformations in CD(3)OH. The beta-turn conformations (type-I'/III) stabilized by intramolecular 4 -> 1 hydrogen bonds are observed for the peptide Boc-Aib-(D)Ala-NHMe (4) and Boc-Aib-Aib-NIiMe (8) in crystals. The tetrapeptide Boc-Val-Aib-Aib-Leu-NHMe (7) adopts an incipient 3(10)-helical conformation stabilized by three 4 -> 1 hydrogen bonds. The peptide Boc-Val-Aib-(D)Ala-Leu-NHMe (3) adopts a novel et-turn conformation, stabilized by three intramolecular hydrogen bonds (two 4 -> 1 and one 5 -> 1). The Aib-L(D)Ala segment adopts a type-I' beta-turn conformation. The observation of an NOE between Val (1) NH <-> HNCH(3) (5) in CD(3)OH suggests, that the solid state conformation is maintained in methanol solutions. (C) 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
