Missouri NORML Conference Speech, 2010

I am not here to talk about the SWAT raid, and I am not here to tell you about the medical benefits of marijuana, how racist, immoral and un-American the drug war is, or how benign a substance cannabis is. We know this already.

I want to tell you instead about the lessons that can be learned from this Tuesday’s historic legalization initiative in California, Proposition 19, which failed by a 46-54% margin.

The media firestorm that descended on California created a mostly-mature dialogue about the future of our state’s (and our nation’s) largest cash crop. In this sense, the initiative was victorious, because it is no longer a question of whether California will legalize marijuana, but of when we will legalize it.

The NO on 19 campaign predictably began a fear-mongering drive through the conservative Central Valley. They told California voters that our highways and freeways would run amok with dangerous, stoned drivers, that doctors and nurses would be operating on patients while high on dope, and of course, that every child in California would have a joint in their mouths and a needle in their arm.

But that is not why the proposition didn’t pass.

Almost 60% of Californians support legalization—the legitimization of our state’s largest cash crop. When you think about California industries, most people think of the Pinot Noirs of my home region (Santa Barbara County), Napa County Chardonnays, Southern California avocados, Central Valley strawberries and the cultural exports from Hollywood. The marijuana industry in California is now larger than the wine, agriculture and the television and movie industries combined.

Proposition 19 failed because the marijuana community was divided.

There was outspoken opposition to Prop 19 from within the industry—from dealers and dispensary owners who didn’t want to take a pay cut, from the mom and pop growers in the Emerald Triangle who were afraid they would be pushed out of the market, and from those who were afraid that this bill was not legalization of marijuana, but the “wal-martization” of marijuana.

While I understood where some of these fears came from, I was appalled to see prominent activists allying with anti-drug propagandists who use extremist rhetoric to keep people fearful—the very same people who campaigned against Proposition 215 which legalized medical marijuana in 1996.

On that same token, the Yes on 19 Campaign failed because they isolated and excluded whole sectors of the community. The hierarchical nature of the campaign only allowed the myths against it to perpetuate.

Regardless, the bill’s creator and founder of Oaksterdam University, Richard Lee, was the first person in California, or the United States, to put his money where his mouth is. He wanted legalization, so he put up $1 million of his own money to gather the signatures necessary to get a legalization initiative on the ballot.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS. That is approximately 300 lbs of retail marijuana sales, less than a year’s worth of sales at a typical California dispensary.

It is disheartening to see all the money that our community donates to national organizations for the limited return they see in marijuana policy reform. In business, we call this a BAD INVESTMENT.

Local NORML chapters have succeeded where the national organizations have failed. These people, whose efforts go unpaid, are efficient and effective. Imagine what these people (present company included) could do with a million dollars?

Columbia has a unique opportunity to lead the nation in marijuana policy. Here we are in a city in the middle of a state that is in the dead middle of the country. It is a city where marijuana policy has taken center stage and garnered national attention for the gross misconduct of its policy officers. Columbia has a wealth of people willing to sacrifice their free time for the cause.

The events in Columbia have the potential to change marijuana policy nationally. Missouri is one of only 24 states with ballot initiative. If Missouri legalizes medical marijuana, consider this the true beginning of the end of the United States War on Drugs. You have the ability to craft a bill here that takes the mistakes of other medical states into account in its drafting. You have a state full of republicans who are angry about record spending and feel that our government regularly oversteps its bounds in the personal lives of free Americans.

You will fail, like we did in California, if you don’t work together. You will fail if you neglect to not only frame marijuana as a medicine but also a personal liberty and you will fail if you put your money in a national organization whose job it is to keep themselves in a job.

Tell your friends to work together. Force the national organizations that claim to represent you to put their money where their mouth is. Put medical marijuana on the 2012 ballot, you will not only have a large-well connected group of Californians behind you, you will have a network of national local NORML chapters pulling for your victory. A win for medical marijuana in Missouri is a win for the entire nation.

Don’t let politics get in the way of activism, work together, legalize Missouri. Feel free to contact myself or Ed for any help you need.

AEMO Power of Choice

2 min

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) is pleased to announce that the Power of Choice (PoC) reforms are in effect from today.

These reforms originated from the Australian Energy Market Commission’s Power of Choice review and are intended to enhance competition for consumers and enable them to better access and manage electricity usage.

Responsibility for installing and maintaining advanced meters has previously been with the distribution businesses. Under these reforms, from 1 December 2017, this now shifts to electricity retailers who will contract a metering coordinator to maintain and install the meters. Customers are also free to choose whether they want the advanced meter installed or not.

“These reforms will allow the introduction of further new and innovative services to the National Electricity Market, ultimately enabling customers to manage their electricity services and usage in a manner that suits best,” said AEMO’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Audrey Zibelman.

“On behalf of AEMO, I would like to thank the industry for their efforts and commitment in working with us to deliver these suite of changes, which will result in better outcomes for consumers,” she said.

To access the best out of the Power of Choice changes, customers need to talk to their retailer to see what services they offer once a smart meter is installed.

Just Observe Your Surroundings

Being aware, and in the present, without judgement, keeps your heart open to receive the 'little moments' that are all too often missed.  The crow that lands just above you on the telephone wire and caws his challenge out to the world.  The squirrel who is very clearly playing do or dare with oncoming traffic.  The territorial seagull who tries (unsuccessfuly) to pick up the entire discarded McDonald's bag, and pecks at fellow gulls who would assist. These are all stories continuously unfolding around us.  These are scenarios that, when we do observe them, make us smile.

And yet, all too often, we live in our heads. Our thoughts go skittering around mercilessly blocking our view of the world around us,

A quick dip here to pick up the thread of a lost conversation from yesterday "oh and I SHOULD HAVE said"

A sigh and a shrug - an adroit  hop to the end of the last thought,   Hmm, jot down this to-do list for tomorrow... and then swoop over to have a look at the internal calendar,

Jumping off cliffs, leaping to conclusions, stretching and pulling and weaving and nattering on and on - all the while having walked along 1/2 mile of the most beautiful mountain edged ocean shoreline that North America has to offer.

It happens daily, panoramic views are distorted, and even sublimated to the ongoing crawlers - thoughts that distract us from actually participating in the moments we are given.

So, reminder to self - JOY of living is to be aware and in the moment. For in truth, we cannot actively be anywhere but now.

Yes! Winning! Live in sunshine, I know I'll be there. Everyone can align their chi. then start loving. It is the end of apologies my friend, we can all breathe and let the world breathe if we try. Bring back the diverse gardens and rural living.

The laureate of new literature informed reporters that it is the wrong time to question his suppport for Slobodan Milošević
Nobel laureate for literature Peter Handke shrugged off questions at a press conference on Friday about his support for Slobodan Milošević’s genocidal regime, telling reporters that it wasn’t the time to answer “ignorant” questions.
Writers and politicians have widely criticized the Austrian author’s Nobel Prize award in October for his position on the 1990s Yugoslav wars. A petition signed by nearly 60,000 people calls on the Nobel Committee to revoke the prize from Slobodan Milošević’s “apologist for the’ butcher of the Balkans.” Handke spoke at the 2006 funeral of Milošević and called him “a rather tragic man.”
On 10 December in Stockholm when Handke is due to collect his SEK9 m (£ 743,000) award, the petition will be delivered by demonstrators.
After an awkward moment that led the room to sing Happy Birthday to the author, Handke was asked about the divided response to his win at the press conference. He responded: “This is a very long story. To tell this story here, I think it’s not the moment.”
Asked about next week’s planned protests, Handke recalled a visit to Norway in 2014 when he won the Ibsen Award. “When I went to the National Theatre in Oslo, there were many protests. A lot of fascist, fascist shouting.
These ladies and gentlemen I wanted to talk to, but they didn’t want to talk to me, “he said. He said that In his speech accepting that prize, he told his critics: “Go to hell, where you already are.”
Peter Maass, a reporter at the Intercept, asked Handke if he would say the that the Srebrenica massacre, where nearly 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed, had happened.
Handke replied by speaking about a letter sent by an anonymous critic with a piece of toilet paper, “which had a calligraphy of shit”. After finishing, he told Maass: “I prefer toilet paper, an anonymous letter with toilet paper inside, to your empty and ignorant questions.”
The press conference was attended by Jonas Eklöf, editor-in-chief of the Swedish book magazine Vi Läser. He said the Nobel’s feeling among Swedish journalists was tiredness, “has been fatigue, exhaustion and … ‘Not again!’ A feeling that little has to do with literature right now.”
Eklöf said. “There is still a lot of turbulence within the academy, with new boycotts and two out of five members leaving the Nobel committee in only the last week,”
Eklöf added:“About today, what can I say: it was strange – especially the birthday song to Handke – and a little bit awkward, but not as uncomfortable as one might have expected. Feeling right now: just want to go home and have a glass of wine and read Flights.”
Flights is a novel written by Polish author Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the Literature Nobel Prize 2018.
Due to the postponement of last year’s award, her victory was announced on the same day as Handke’s. She uses her winnings to fund a foundation to support authors and translators ‘ which will help “describe the reality in which xenophobic and nationalist sentiments are growing dangerously quickly”.

Liberian President Sirleaf launches CAP on Post 2015 Development Agenda

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of the Republic of Liberia, and Chairperson of the High Level Committee on the African Common Position (CAP)on the Post-2015 Development Agenda has launched the CAP in Monrovia.
The High Level Committee (HLC) chaired by President Sirleaf was set up by the African Union during its May 2013 Summit to draft a CAP on the Post-2015 Development Agenda. The HLC identified areas of priority to Africa, and committee completed its work, after which the African Union adopted the CAP on 31 January 2014. The CAP was subsequently launched by the AU in March 2014 in N’djamena, Chad.

The CAP defines six pillars that are essential to the development of Africa:
1. Structural Economic Transformation and Inclusive Growth;
2. Science Technology and Innovation (STI);
3. People Centered Development;
4. Environmental Sustainability, Natural Resources and Natural Disaster Management;
5. Peace and Security; and
6. Financing and Partnership for Implementation.

Each of these pillars is anchored on good governance and serves as a foundation for ending poverty, promoting prosperity and achieving sustainable and equitable development.

For more details on this story,please click

We hope All African states will strive to attain all the six pillars agreed under the Common African Position on the Post-2015 Development Agenda.

Why the war ended in Somaliland but continued in Somalia

Why war ended in Somaliland but continued in Somalia: A political settlements approach
Sarah Phillips – University of Sydney
Lecture Theatre 2, Hedley Bull Centre (130), corner of Garran Road and Liversidge Street, ANU
Tuesday, 6 May, 2014 – 15:00 to 16:00
The case of Somaliland offers insights into why some domestic power struggles – including violent ones – build the foundations for relative political order while others perpetuate cycles of economic malaise and political violence. This session will look at why large-scale violence was resolved in the internationally unrecognised ‘Republic of Somaliland’ but not in the rest of Somalia. It will argue that there were three particularly important factors at play: a domestically-funded peace process that motivated cooperation among elites; Somalilanders’ conscious desire for an enclave of peace within the surrounding turmoil; and the fact that there was a history of quality secondary education being available to at least some within Somaliland, which helped to provide critical leadership skills among select elites.

JCB launches backhoe loader with EU Stage V compliant engine

JCB backhoe leaderJCB has unveiled 55kW 3CX backhoe loader with EU Stage V compliant engine, with an aim to deliver improved operator comfort and ease of use, increased productivity and performance, combined with reduced total cost of ownership

The machine contains revised Command Plus cab; enhanced safety including integrated LED beacons and step lighting.

With an efficiency boost – a three-litre Stage V engine delivering 10% torque increase and 7% fuel saving – it aims to provide an increased productivity with auto-levelling, auto seat select and auto-2WD.

This latest JCB 3CX takes the backhoe loader into a new decade, with a smart new look that features a revised Command Plus cab. There are four LED beacons integrated into the cab roof as standard, removing the need for magnetic beacons or drilling of the machine. The beacons can be clearly seen from all angles, improving site safety, while there is no requirement for the operator to have to climb up in the cold and wet to install beacons at the start of the day.

The Command Plus cab features yellow grab handles, for a clear touch point and there are larger mirrors for an improved view behind the machine when manoeuvring around site or when on road. Revised square work lights offer increased adjustment and the LED option now includes up to 10 lights, providing maximum illumination of the working area.

Cab interior providing a new level of comfort and usability

It features a split colour line, with darker grey used for the lower half and a lighter grey in the upper half of the cabin. This adds to the airy, spacious feel, providing the operator with a calm, comfortable working environment. There is a new seat, with a dark fabric and yellow stitching and a headrest is available on the Advanced Easy Control (AEC) model.

A revised three-spoke steering wheel provides an improved view of the new front display screen, which comes as standard on the latest 3CX. The screen shows the speedometer, all warning lights and the selected gear on Powershift models. For the first time JCB will also supply a factory-fit radio with Bluetooth telephone compatibility and USB, AUX and SD card capabilities. The radio is integrated into the headliner, but can be controlled by a rotary switch in the side console. Audio and telephone functions are also displayed in the new 7” side display screen.

This side screen provides the operator with increased functionality and increased information. The display is controlled by an automotive-style rotary switch, that provides quick access to the various operating menus.

Increased productivity

The 55kW Stage V 3CX introduces a range of advanced automation features, designed to reduce operator fatigue and to boost productivity. This includes Auto Stop, which automatically detects when the machine is no longer in use and shuts down the engine. Auto Stop eliminates engine idling, reducing fuel consumption and cutting emissions. The shut-down delay can be pre-set or adjusted by the operator through the side screen in the cab.

Auto Seat Select is available on machines equipped with servo lever control and automatically recognises which direction the seat is facing, eliminating the need to select functions as the operator changes from front to rear facing positions. Also available on servo models, automatic stabilisers now offer not just an auto-raise function, but also an automatic extend setting, stopping as the feet make contact with the ground. Automatic levelling lets the machine rapidly find a horizontal operating position on uneven ground.

Auto Drive has been improved, allowing the operator to automatically select a chosen engine speed when travelling on the road. Operation has been made easier with a new lever mounted beneath the direction selection control.

To reduce unnecessary tyre wear and fuel consumption, the 3CX now comes with Auto 2WD. This switches the transmission from 4WD to 2WD when the additional traction is no longer required. It allows the operator to select 4WD to dig into a pile or a face, where maximum tractive effort is required. Then, when the machine backs away and starts to travel at speed, the transmission automatically changes to 2WD. The speed at which this change occurs can be set by the operator through the side screen menus.

Additional lighting has been added to illuminate the cab on both sides of the machine around the step area, making it easier for the operator to access and leave the machine in the dark. A timer can be set to automatically dim the lighting when the machine is switched off, or once the door has been closed. The 3CX also benefits from a host of standard features, including rear light guards, a return-to-dig system, front shovel clam cylinder guards, loader pipework and the loader Smooth Ride System.

Stage V Power

The 55kW 3CX is powered by JCB’s latest EU Stage V compliant three-litre diesel engine, replacing the previous generation 4.4-litre. The compact engine delivers 55kW of power and 440Nm of torque, an increase of 10% over the previous model. Its smaller capacity and increased efficiency result in up to a 7% fuel saving over the Stage IV 55kW engine in general use. The three-litre JCB engine achieves EU Stage V emissions standards without the need for a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) or any form of exhaust additive.

The engine is equipped with a combined Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), with an 8,000-hour operating life. Regeneration is automatically controlled and can be monitored through JCB’s standard LiveLink telematics system. The engine benefits from a sealed for life crankcase ventilation module and hydraulic tappets, removing the need for manual adjustment. This contributes to lower service and maintenance costs and a cut in total cost of ownership for the customer.

5 Best Selling Coffee Tables on Amazon

1. FOLUBAN Easy Assembly Rustic Coffee Table for Living Room

Amazon Review: Awesome product. Came in three pieces which made it super easy to assemble. The tabletop is slightly bigger than I expected based on some of the photos I saw in reviews, so that was a pleasant surprise. Seems super sturdy based on its design and quality. The tabletop itself is good quality and matches my other pieces in the living room. Very happy that I went with this after going back and forth and looking at similar coffee tables (and living without a living room coffee table in the meantime!) for a few months. By Wingo

2. Yaheetech Lift Top Coffee Table with Hidden Compartment and Storage Shelf

PHNs need to ‘pull their socks up,’ says Twomey

People with potential COVID-19 infections are still being sent by GPs to pharmacies – but the sector seems to have been forgotten when it comes to protective gear, says one stakeholder

Pharmacy Guild Queensland branch president Trent Twomey says that reliance on Primary Health Networks to distribute Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to pharmacy has exposed Government and PHN lack of focus on the sector.

Pharmacists have been speaking out to express growing concern with sector workers’ exposure to the novel coronavirus, with pharmacists including Jennifer Kirschner, and Mohamed Kaoud and Mahmoud Galal, writing letters to the general public and the Prime Minister respectively to ask for help protecting themselves and their colleagues.

“There is a lack of personal protective equipment in Australia, and this is being felt by all primary health carers, but especially community pharmacy,” Trent Twomey told the AJP on Wednesday.

“In the first instance, it’s simply a lack of available stock. Government agencies at all levels are working with manufacturers, both domestically and abroad, to increase supply – however, these are still many weeks away.

“The Government has relied on the Primary Health Networks to engage and distribute PPE with community pharmacy, and it has been blatantly obvious that there is a stark contrast between the ability for a PHN to liaise with a GP, compared with a community pharmacist.

“When the dust settles after this, one of the outcomes needs to be that if Primary Health Networks are there for all primary care, they need to pull their socks up and get to know community pharmacy, because currently they do not.”

He said that while he has a “great” relationship with local general practitioners, as more GPs begin to take advantage of their new ability to stay at home and provide consultations via telehealth, pharmacists are still on the front line in a retail setting.

“I don’t know what need those GPs would have for PPE – whereas pharmacists have been coughed on, have been sneezed on, and verbally and physically abused in some instances,” said Mr Twomey, adding that instances of coughing and sneezing have not been deliberate attacks to his knowledge, but simply a function of sick people having respiratory symptoms.

“We’ve had instances in my own pharmacy which have been repeated, and I’ve heard reports from all around Australia, where a patient will have a fever or some symptoms that may be a show-tell sign of a potential Covid case – and the GP is referring them next door to the pharmacist,” he said.

“It may be too dangerous for that person to see the GP receptionist, but they’re more than happy for them to see the pharmacy assistant!

“The Government needs to start redirecting their focus from the closed GPs to those open community pharmacies.”

As well as calling for better access to PPE for pharmacists, Mr Twomey called for full scope of practice and an immediate resolution to the Seventh Community Pharmacy Agreement, which remains unsigned well past the Morrison Government’s initial 2019 deadline – a fact noted by Shadow Health Minister Chris Bowen when he wrote to Minister Greg Hunt this week.

“Our funding agreement expires in less than three months,” Mr Twomey said. “We’re calling on the Minister for Health to sign the Seventh Community Pharmacy Agreement and to give the continuity and the stability that the sector needs in order to be able to persevere during this crisis.

“The solution to continuity of care here is not $1.1 billion to GPs to sit at home and do telehealth. The answer is simpler and much cheaper, and is of a higher quality of care – and that involves utilising your local community pharmacist to their full scope of practice.

“That means autonomous prescribing, continued dispensing without the restrictions on one per year, and full therapeutic substitution.

“Today is April Fool’s Day, and pharmacists are sick and tired of being treated like fools whilst other areas of the primary health care system are getting billion dollar handouts. The community pharmacy sector needs stability and security.

“Our energies and efforts should be focused on our patients and our staff and we should not have to waste that energy on bureaucratic negotiation.”

A dapper Akshay Kumar at the Happy Heart Carnival

He is 45 and still manages to look so fit and stylish. With flexed biceps and chiseled torso, Akshay Kumar was spotted celebrating World Health Day at a Mumbai Hospital. The actor is of late blessed with a baby girl and the happiness was pretty evident on his face.
 Akshay Kumar looked dapper to the core in his sleek full-sleeved shirt, a pair of slim-fit trousers and black loafers.  The actor completed the look with a pair of blue aviators that raised his style stakes.

Phane’s 10 Charged Trax could almost be called the ghost of UK ’82 but that would do an injustice to this visceral release which is more than a pale imitation. This kind of classic street punk is a far-from-young genre, but Phane brings a vitality and vigour that make it feel new all over again.

Best Vinyl Cutter – Buyer’s Guide of the Best Vinyl Cutting Machines 2020

Best vinyl cutter – Cutters review & buying guide
1 Star2 Stars3 Stars4 Stars5 Stars (10 votes, average: 4.90 out of 5)

How to Choose the Appropriate Vinyl Cutter in 2019-2020?

Vinyl cutter (or vinyl plotter) is a good investment both for your business and home. Cutting plotters are used for outdoor advertising, photographic printing, maps and blueprints manufacture. Reliable printing and cutting model will help you to create quality product which will please you, your colleagues and your family.

When purchasing vinyl cutter one should analyze existing models currently available in the market and investigate all related pros and cons.

What One Should Know About Vinyl Cutters?

To choose best vinyl cutter one should carefully consider the following parameters:

  • Cutting width. Usually cutting width is limited to 12 inches. It’s quite enough for home usage: to cut sticky films, thermo films, photo paper, magnetic vinyl, design cardboard and other materials.
  • Optical positioning. Optical positioning implies that cutter has optical sensor (eye) which recognizes special marks printed on the material to be cut. In this case it is possible to perform precise contour cutting of the image previously printed using any printer.
  • Cutting accuracy. If one needs to cut small parts he or she should use the cutter with high cutting accuracy. This feature significantly increases its cost.
  • Cutting speed. Important characteristic if you deal with a large circulation of products. It is essential that your cutter would preserve quality at maximum speed. If there is no emergency-type job it is better to choose cutter having lower speed which will reduce the cost.
  • Drawing element. Drawing element is used to draw blueprints, models, diagrams, and patterns. It is inserted instead of the blade. One can use water based markers and ballpoint pens as a drawing element. In some cases plotter carriage can hold both tools — cutting and drawing.

Another important parameter is the cutting force of the blade. The higher the pressure the thicker the material the cutter will be able to cut.

Thus, whatever plotter you choose it is better to consider goals and volumes a device will deal with. If you are going to handle small volumes don’t buy costly device as it won’t implement all its functions. But when dealing with large volumes the choice of a cutter should be made elaborately.

  1. Please provide a brief bio on yourself.

    Jeanie Rushing Gay is a local business owner known for her unwavering integrity and dedication to the local community. For over 25 years, she has been the President of Rushing Insurance, which was founded in 1982 by her father J.H. “Pete” Rushing. Through the years, she has been pleased to serve the community through various lines of insurance, with a special focus on crop insurance for our local farmers. She earned an insurance license, and her experience involves all aspects of running a business as well as managing various types of real estate property for many years. Prior to working as an insurance agent, Jeanie spent 11 years working as a computer programmer. With professional experience exceeding 45 years, she looks forward to serving the great people of Bulloch County as your Tax Commissioner.

    Jeanie was born and raised by her parents Pete and Emogene Rushing in the town of Register. She has been married to Curtis Gay for 40 years and lives in Register. Jeanie graduated from Statesboro High School and then earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with a Management major at Georgia Southern University. Jeanie and Curtis are members of Register Baptist Church. Jeanie and Curtis both have many years of community service experience in Bulloch County. Jeanie and Curtis both minister to the local community and motorcyclists through the local Christian Motorcyclists Association (“CMA”), and Curtis serves as President of the local CMA chapter, Redeemed Riders.

  2. What experience do you have that properly equips you for the position of Tax Commissioner?

    I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Management from Georgia Southern University.  My professional experience includes over 45 years as a leader in various industries, including over 20 years in Information Technology and over 25 years in Insurance.  Additionally, I have managed several types of commercial property for myself and others. Accurate and timely recordkeeping and managing funds for others has been a critical element of my career, and I am well-qualified for the role of Tax Commissioner.

  3. How do you view the day-to-day role of the Tax Commissioner? (The balance between managing the office, working with other elected officials, and general tax-related work; duties and responsibilities; etc.)

    The day-to-day responsibilities of the Tax Commissioner should be focused primarily on providing the highest and best services possible to the citizens of Bulloch County.  The responsibilities of the Tax Commission include billing, collecting, and disbursing funds related to property taxes as well as handling registration of motor vehicles and mobile homes on behalf of the Georgia Department of Revenue.  In performing these duties, the Tax Commission will each day focus on maintaining excellent customer service and ensuring appropriate controls so that the finances of this county are balanced and reported correctly.
  4. What practices are in place from the outgoing administration that you think should be carried over by the new administration?I look forward to the opportunity to have an independent audit of the current practices and financial records, which will be vital in determining what is currently working, and what needs to be improved upon or updated. I appreciate the current administration’s years of service, and look forward to working with the invaluable office staff– many of whom have dedicated years to Bulloch County. Together, I know that we can come up with a set of best practices to ensure a smooth, modernized operation. When elected as Bulloch County Tax Commissioner, I will ensure the responsibilities of the office are executed accurately and timely, including billing, collecting, and disbursing tax dollars.
  5. How can the Bulloch County Tax Commissioner’s Office be more efficient?

    Alongside the independent audit, I will perform a complete assessment of the state of the Tax Office internal policies, procedures, books, and records. Areas of strength will be noted and further enhanced, and areas for potential improvement will be identified in detail and acted upon quickly.

    One area that I hope to further assess is the computer system currently used to manage property taxes and related payments. It is important that the office utilize the most efficient and cost-effective software for accurately, securely, and expeditiously processing and recording citizen tax information. I would determine if there are additional opportunities to use automation to process payments more efficiently and outside of regular business hours. We also may want to consider whether an on-site kiosk for tag renewals may be beneficial for our county, similar to other counties in Georgia. Of course, any changes would only be made after a thorough assessment of the costs and benefits.

  6. How do you plan to advance the office technologically while simultaneously being a good steward of tax dollars?

    For any opportunities to use technology, I would first have to consider both the detailed cost and benefits to taxpayers.  Some benefits that must be considered are the accuracy and security that usually comes with technology, which is very important when handling large volumes of cash inflows and outflows.  Additionally, in the current environment, it is essential for government organizations to focus on cybersecurity related to safeguarding our information and records within the systems.

  7. Why do you want to be the next Tax Commissioner of Bulloch County?I am committed to using my gifts to serve this county by improving the operation of the Tax Commissioner’s office in areas that are determined to be of benefit to all citizens. I will ensure the Bulloch County community is served in a professional and courteous manner– with integrity, responsiveness, and accessibility from my office.
  8. Is there anything else you would like the public to know about you? (This area may also be used to include a bio and of er information on where people can learn more about you?)

    My reputation speaks for itself. I have worked hard all my life, and my friends, family, and business associates would describe me as a person of integrity and honesty. I hold a deep love for Bulloch County, my home, and would feel blessed to have the opportunity to serve as Bulloch County Tax Commissioner.

    I am humbled and so thankful for all of the support from the Bulloch County community for our campaign.  Please feel free to join us at our Facebook page or our website

Let’s go back a little bit to my second favorite season, Autumn! It’s been unseasonably warm where Isobel lives in RL this Winter. It feels more like Autumn. “In like a lion, out like a lamb,” as the saying goes. It’s been the other way around! The weather came in like a lamb this year, so maybe I’ll get my snow before Springtime. ^.^

Resto 46 Caravan, Kings Cross

For once it was actually too hot to eat comfortably outside in London so we were looking for a shady place for lunch in King’s Cross. Caravan’s terrace was rammed but there was plenty of room inside where we squeezed in between a lone office worker and a group of mums and tots. It’s that kind of place.

So if you’re looking for tranquility Caravan is not the place to come. The music is loud, the ceiling is cavernous and the chatter rattles of the stripped brick walls. Which is a long-winded way to say that there was a good atmosphere.

You can share small plates or go for mains but in the end we both plumped for pizza with a shared rocket salad. When I ordered boquerones the server asked me if I knew what they were. I did but I couldn’t remember. I knew I liked them. When I saw them I remembered that they were slivery anchovies from scoffing them elsewhere. The pizza had a good crispy base but not in Paesano’s class. (I think Paesano might have ruined every pizza I ever eat by totally outclassing the field. )The salad was good but with a little bit too much oil in the dressing for my taste. A pint of Camden Pale was a good thing.

So I’d put Vagabond above Dishoom but below Grain Store on this strip. At around twenty quid a head it’s mid-range and a useful place to go if you want a bit wider menu than you’d get in Pizza Express.  But only if you’re in the area.

Re-Blog: [When God Re-Booted Creation]

” Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” James 1:27

I wanted to re-blog this article {and I hope Pastor J.D Greear & his team don’t mind) that points out what the Kingdom of God is about and shows important facts that most of us often miss out. In the end, it’s not how eloquent one is at quoting Biblical verses or religiously righteous as much as it is for how our love and actions should put the LOVE of Jesus on display! This is my opinion but Matthew says it so well too: Matthew 25: 34-40

Enjoy the reading..

I have one solution for every computer problem I encounter. Reboot it. And if that doesn’t work, reboot it again. The worst moment in my technological existence comes when I’ve rebooted four or fives times and the problem is still there—because then I know it’s going to be a long, painful process on the phone…

Listen UP: Toosi releases ‘Love Cycle’ With Summer Walker

Summer Walker contributes a smoldering verse and silken backing vocals to the new version of Toosii’s smash hit “Love Cycle,” which was released today by South Coast Music Group. Download / stream “Love Cycle” (with Summer Walker) HERE.

Hailed by The FADER as “one of the premiere rising acts in R&B with a voice that has the ability to translate all the uncertainty, agony, and pleasure that comes with the complications of love,” Walker exemplifies the kind of strong, independent woman that “Love Cycle” celebrates. Toosii joined Walker on her First and Last Tour in late 2019. Her new EP, Life on Earth, recently debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200.
“Love Cycle,” one of the most popular tracks from Toosii’s Platinum Heart (Deluxe), has amassed nearly 35 million combined global streams to date. In this episode of “Genius Verified,” Toosii  talks about the meaning of “Love Cycle” and how the song came together.
Toosii made his directorial debut alongside Edgar Esteves (Chris Brown, Pedro Capo x Alicia Keys x Farruko) with the “Love Cycle” and “Mercedez” videos, which trace the course of a young couple’s tragic relationship. “Stuck Inside Mercedez Love Cycle” combines the two clips and features behind-the-scenes footage. View HERE.
Earlier this month, he released the poignant video for “Reminiscing,” which pays tribute to his boyhood friends, Niko and Tadoe, and the official video for a brand new track, “Push Start.”
Platinum Heart (Deluxe) charted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums tally and entered the Billboard 200 in June. With over 200 million combined global streams to date across its 20 songs, Toosii shot into the top 10 of Rolling Stone’s “Breakthrough 25” chart for July, which tracks the fastest-rising artists of the month. Flaunt predicted, “Toosii is about to take over the rap game.” Toosii, who recently performed at Virtual Lollapalooza 2020, features on “Flight to China,” Wiz Khalifa’s contribution to the Road To Fast 9 mixtape.

Tribute to an icon of the Targui song

Born in 1953 in Djanet, the author, composer and singer Othman Bali (aka Baly Othmani), whose real name was Mbarek Othmani, is the initiator of a musical movement introducing the lute in traditional music and poems learnt from his mother, great Tinde singer, with whom he travelled the world before passing away in June 2005 in a flood in his native town.

Together with Steve Shehan, they toured and released multiple albums such as Assouf, Assarouf or Assikel.
