L'hôtel de préfecture de la Dordogne est un bâtiment situé à Périgueux, en France. Il sert de préfecture au département de la Dordogne.

Localisation

L'hôtel de préfecture est situé dans le département français de la Dordogne, sur la commune de Périgueux, rue Paul-Louis-Courier. Sa façade principale donne sur les allées de Tourny.

Historique

En 1800, la préfecture a d'abord occupé l'ancien palais épiscopal (en bordure du cloître de la cathédrale Saint-Front), le préfet s'installant dans l'hôtel du marquis de La Douze.

Le collège des Jésuites est d'abord affecté à l'école Centrale de 1797 à 1804. Les bâtiments de l'école sont ensuite affectés à la préfecture et la ville la vend au département de la Dordogne pour . Les travaux sont entrepris en 1807 sous la direction de l'architecte du département Louis Combes et terminés en 1809 pour la somme de . L'église du collège des Jésuites est démolie et le maître autel est transporté dans la cathédrale. Les locaux de l'école centrale, ancien collège des Jésuites, deviennent l'hôtel de préfecture de la Dordogne à la fin du Premier Empire, en 1809, et le restent jusqu'en 1864 (devenu en 1996 le Centre culturel François Mitterrand).

Trop à l'étroit, on décida de construire un nouveau bâtiment. C'est l'architecte départemental Auguste Louis Édouard Bouillon (1805-1864) qui a fait les plans et entrepris la construction de la nouvelle préfecture entre 1859 et 1864. Après son éviction en 1863, il a été remplacé par l'architecte Auguste Dubet (1829-1907). La préfecture a dû subir trois incendies entre 1875 et 1882, heureusement sans trop de gravité pour permettre sa réparation.

La préfecture est partiellement inscrite au titre des monuments historiques le .

The Real Deal - 2015
Dixie Hall, Kevin Mulhern and Rachel Parsons
Central Park La Mesa
5636 Amaya Drive, La Mesa
124 condominium rental homes
Total consideration: $28.3 million
Mulhern
About the property:
For sale were 124 rental homes in the 216-unit Central Park La Mesa condominium community. It was built in 1989 and partially renovated in 2006. The seller had purchased the property in 2010.
The property features two- and three-story buildings with Mediterranean-style architecture, such as red-tiled roofs. Amenities in the one and two-bedroom units varied, but included vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, central heat and air-conditioning, stackable washers and dryers, patios and balconies.
Dixie Hall noted the property was attractive to buyers because of its low-density design, large expanses of grassy areas, and close proximity to a larger community park. "A lot of why the buyer was attracted to the property was the amount of green space. It has a very nice ambiance. It's a nice, peaceful property," Hall said.
Closing the deal:
The CBRE multifamily team of Dixie Hall, Kevin Mulhern and Rachel Parsons represented the seller, JH/TMP La Mesa, an affiliate of Newport Beach-based JH Real Estate Partners Inc. in the sale of Central Park La Mesa for $28.3 million in November 2014. The buyer was VLD Sweetwater LP and Central Park Partners LP, partnerships controlled by San Diego-based R&V Management.
The property was offered free and clear of debt, and with an established homeowners' association.
Hall noted that the 124 units offered a "value-add opportunity," as the exterior was in good shape allowing the buyer the opportunity to modernize the interiors with higher-grade finishes. Some 24 units had already been renovated to include stainless steel appliances, new fixtures and granite counter tops.
"It's a nice looking property with a healthy reserve in the HOA," Hall said. "It's difficult to find properties of this size for sale in La Mesa."

We don't want to belabor the point but multinational tech companies like Apple, Facebook and Google will never call or text you personally out of the blue. So if you get a call or text purporting to be from such a company it's 99.9% likely to be a scam and you should ignore it regardless of whether the caller ID seems legitimate.
If you're still worried look up the company's the support phone number separately (never respond directly to such a call or tap a link in a text) and discuss the situation with the support reps.
You can always contact us and we'll talk it through with you.


Cloud CMS allows you to customize the domain name for the editorial user interface. Custom domain names are supported for both SaaS and on-premise installation accounts.
Where mytenant is the subdomain you picked when you created your account. You're free to change this subdomain at any time (no additional steps needed).
This URL serves back the editorial environment for your tenant using secure-socket (HTTPS). This secure-socket requirement is to ensure that all communication between your users' browsers and the user interface takes advantage of channel encryption. This helps to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks or exposure of data over the wire.
Where mycompany.org is a fictitious top-level domain name and cms is a subdomain. You can configure any domain name you like to work with Cloud CMS, including top-level domains, subdomains and so on.
If you are part of a company that has an IT organization, we recommend checking with them. Chances are you already own mycompany.org and so you don't need to set anything else up.
If you don't own mycompany.org, you will need to buy it and then configure it.
We recommend using Amazon Web Services for your back end infrastructure and to that end, the steps provided here reference Amazon's services.
If you don't already own your intended domain name, you can buy it using Amazon Route 53. Alternatively, if you do already own the domain name, you might consider transferring its name servers over to Route 53 since Amazon's platform is excellent.
Create an Amazon CloudFront distribution with https://mytenant.cloudcms.net as its origin server. The connection to the origin server should be HTTPS. The incoming should be HTTP (not secure). Set it up to forward all headers, cookie state and query parameters. The cache TTL should be 0.
Once your changes are saved, you will need to wait a little while for DNS propagation to occur. Your DNS company will push the changes worldwide to domain name servers all around the globe. This usually takes about 15 minutes on average but can take longer depending on where you are in the world.
We recommend using the What's My DNS service to check if propagation has completed. This service checks servers worldwide and performs local lookups to see if your DNS record has been updated.
Just fill in your domain and it will display results across servers.
In addition to providing for custom domain support, Amazon CloudFront provides edge caching and optimized network performance. Your end users will be very pleased with these benefits.
Purchase an SSL certificate. We recommend using Amazon Certificate Manager but you may also choose to buy from someplace like GoDaddy.
Upload your SSL certificate to Amazon.

More than 200 conservation scientists from the Asia Pacific area will meet in Darwin this month to discuss conservation biology issues relevant to the region.
Charles Darwin University's Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods (RIEL) will host the event that will attract scientists from Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia.
Coordinated by The Society for Conservation Biology, Oceania 2012 has the theme "People and Conservation in Land and Sea Country".
Some 19 conservation scientists from CDU will present at the conference, including Professor of Conservation and Sustainability at RIEL Stephen Garnett.

Rick Araluce
Born in 1960, Rick Araluce has been a life long artist. At an early age Mr. Araluce began creating drawings, paintings, hand-fashioned objects, miniature scenarios, plastic models-creations depicting whatever piqued his interest at the time. He put his efforts into being a painter originally, though began to create and evolve his artwork towards a more sculptural realm, and in the 1990s began making detailed miniatures a primary focus of his work. This he continues to this day. Along the way, Araluce began to work in a larger form, ultimately creating complex immersive installations which incorporated multiple media, including lighting, sound, motion, and computer automation. These have been some of Mr. Araluce's most noteworthy endeavors. He has among other artistic pursuits created book and album illustration, art-directed and created work for a number of animated music videos, and has had his artwork featured in a handful of commercial films. For 20 years, Araluce was a Lead Scenic Artist with Seattle Opera, until the Opera's closure of its scene shop, though he continues this work as a Master Scenic Artist employed by Arts Tech Group, a scenery and event fabrication company where he oversees and runs multiple facets of the artistic side of production.

Nonetheless, Mr. Araluce has secured some significant achievements, including a Pollock/Krasner in 2009, Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Award in 2010 and a 2015 Guggenheim Fellowship. As an individual coming from a low-resource background, Mr. Araluce has acquired a degree of understanding and empathy for the challenges of those coming from less privileged and non-traditional backgrounds who have chosen the artist's path.

Atlantipedia
An A-Z Guide To The Search For Plato's Atlantis
I have now published my new book, Joining The Dots, which offers a fresh look at the Atlantis mystery. I have addressed the critical questions of when, where and who, using Plato's own words, tempered with some critical thinking and a modicum of common sense.
Carolina Bays
Butler, Alan
Voronin, Alexander
Ellis, Richard
Richard Ellis is the author of a number of books on the oceans as well as being a distinguished marine artist. In his dissertation [288]on Atlantis he consigns Plato's story to the realms of fantasy and he discusses the efforts of both serious investigators such as James Mavor and Jacques Cousteau and also the ramblings of spiritualists like Rudolf Steiner. He concludes that one group is simply misled while the other is misleading.
The greater part of the book is devoted to a discussion of the possible link between the eruption of Santorini in the second millennium BC and Atlantis. This, presumably, is due to the prominence that this particular theory had achieved in the popular media at that time..
Understandably, while sceptics have given the book an enthusiastic welcome, others have taken a more critical stance.
*Some years later, Ellis published Encyclopedia of the Sea, a comprehensive, but concise review of all things maritime, generously illustrated by the author.*

Come as you are. You with the messy hair and fancy shoes. You with the styled curls and store-bought salsa. I want you here with me. Oh, your emotions have not yet landed? That's a relief, neither have mine. Oh, your story is still unfolding, uncertain, unknown? Thank goodness, me too. Come sit on my living room floor. Let's have a circle.
The women behind Lucia gathered Friday night for tacos, mezcal, and May.
Karly, our intrepid millennial design advisor, is passing through Seattle on her way to Alaska for the summer. So for the first time ever (yes, ever) the four of us were physically in the same room.
Yes, the floor pillows were out. Yes, the magic started the moment we sat. Soft evening light, cherry and lilac blossoms, candles, guacamole, and vegetables formed an altar in the center around which we coalesced.
And, after two months of nearly non-stop non-Lucia client work, I have been feeling disconnected and worried. So I was especially grateful for the opportunity to sit together and share with this team my vision, intention, and near-term plan of action for Lucia. As importantly, I wanted to communicate the value I see each of them contributing to the creation we are collaboratively midwifing into the world next, Issue Three.
What I loved most was that each of us showed up just as we were. Not fancy, not trying to impress each other, more inspiring with tousled hair, supermarket hors d'oeuvres, and a blooming tree branch in a borrowed vase than any lifestyle magazine selling perfection could ever hope to be.
Come as you are. Because if we wait until life is perfect we will never have another circle. And small circles of women giving voice to the heart are the very thing that will wind up saving humanity in the end, which will hopefully feel more like a beginning, but only if you come as you are.

Seven day personal tour
Please note that the itinerary will vary with the time of year and prevailing conditions.
updated 12 March 2018
2017 Plains-wanderer Report
Today will be a long one, starting early and finishing late. We'll visit the river redgum forest around Deniliquin, looking for superb parrot and other woodland species.These could include crested shrike-tit, diamond firetail, white-winged triller, red-capped and hooded robins, varied sittella, western gerygone and a host of thornbills. Other species we could encounter this morning might include grey-crowned babbler and apostlebird.
We will return to Deniliquin at about 1 p.m. Around 3 p.m. we head out to the plains north of Deniliquin, stopping to bird in various habitats en route. A patch of boree (Acacia pendula) woodland is often good for honeyeaters such as spiny-cheeked, striped and singing, and in summer, painted honeyeater may be present. Buebonnet might also be seen here.
Another stop will be a black box (Eucalyptus largiflorens) woodland where, knock on wood, an owlet nightjar might be seen. Other species could include western warbler (gerygone), chestnut-rumped thornbill, weebill and southern whiteface.
If seasonal conditions are right, we'll look at some remnant sandhill vegetation consisting of native pine and eremophilas. Black honeyeaters might be about if the eremophilas are flowering and the lovely white-backed swallow is often present around the sandhills.
Out on the plains proper, if the rains have been good, brown songlark, Horsfield's bushlark and white-winged fairy-wren should be seen; likewise, the other denizens of the open plains — spotted harrier and black falcon. In the more sparsely vegetated areas we'll look for banded lapwing, and in some years we'll also see Australian pratincole and inland dotterel. After dark we'll spotlight for plains-wanderer, our flagship species. If conditions are favourable, we may also see stubble quail and little buttonquail and very occasionally, red-chested buttonquail. A cute mammal, the fat-tailed dunnart is often seen. On the way home we could spotlight a barn owl and/or a boobook owl.
Arrival back in Deniliquin can vary from 10 pm to 2 am depending on how long it takes to find a plains-wanderer (or call it quits) and the time of year.
Overnight: Deniliquin
Check the Latest News page for the species that have been seen recently.
Our start this morning will depend on what time we arrived home the previous night and the season. We'll look for species we missed yesterday and perhaps check out sites in the River Redgum forests for little eagle, collared sparrowhawk and square-tailed kites. Other possibilities here include azure kingfisher, dollarbird and tawny frogmouth.
After lunch, we'll concentrate on waterbirds. If the season has been good and wetlands have filled, Australasian bittern, a rarity, is a chance. Crakes can be present and include Baillon's, spotless and Australian spotted. Other possible waterbirds include red-kneed and black-fronted dotterels and black-tailed nativehen. An assortment of possible ducks could include Australian shelduck, musk duck, blue-billed duck and in some years, the highly nomadic freckled duck.
Today we will leave the Deniliquin area, travelling to the foothill forests of the Great Dividing Range, about two hours drive south-east of Deniliquin. This area has a higher rainfall and different soils and topography. The eucalypts in this area are various species of ironbarks and stringybarks, often with an understorey of shrubs. Specialities of the area include a bag of honeyeaters, such as yellow-tufted, fuscous, black-chinned, brown-headed, and another chance for painted honeyeater. The delightful speckled warbler may also be present at this locality as well as turquoise parrot. After lunch in the field we'll visit a daytime roost where barking owl may be present and later we'll visit some swamps for Australasian shoveler and Latham's snipe and other waterbirds.
Overnight: Beechworth area
This morning we will visit more dry eucalypt forest with an understory of shrubs. This is the territory of two difficult species — the spotted quail-thrush and its companion, chestnut-rumped heathwren. Other species often include fan-tailed cuckoo, shining bronze-cuckoo, scarlet and yellow robins and white-throated gerygone. Some years, painted buttonquail is present here and it's a good area for koala.
After lunch, we'll visit backup spots, if need be, for increasingly difficult species such as turquoise parrot. We'll be on the look out for the endangered regent honeyeater and check out any locations of recent sightings. Little lorikeet is also a chance. After dinner, we'll go night spotting for white-throated nightjar and have more chances of southern boobook and koala.
Today we will bird the slightly wetter eucalypt forest around Beechworth where we have a good chance of seeing a gang-gang cockatoo, and red-browed treecreeper and satin bowerbird. In the summer months we may be lucky enough to see cicadabird. Other species We may also see eastern spinebill, yellow-faced and white-naped honeyeaters. In the afternoon we will return to Deniliquin, stopping en route to look at apostlebirds and brolgas if we haven't already seen them. Black falcon and spotted harrier are also a chance through here.
This morning we will drive west of Deniliquin following the floodplain of the Edward River until we cross the Murray River into Victoria. We continue west through cleared mallee until we reach some large areas of uncleared mallee. Here we have a good chance of the elusive malleefowl, as well as chestnut quail-thrush, chestnut-crowned babbler, regent parrot, Australian ringneck, crested bellbird and splendid and variegated fairywrens. Further west again, we reach a much larger area of virgin mallee. Here, if we have time, we search for the southern scrubrobin and shy heathwren and if not, we'll come back tomorrow.
Overnight: Ouyen
Today we return to the Mallee in search of its most elusive residents and two of Australia's best birds — striated grasswren and mallee emu-wren. Other species we could encounter include Major Mitchell's cockatoo, mulga parrot, yellow-plumed and white-fronted honeyeaters and red-backed kingfisher. If seasonal conditions are favourable, white-browed and masked woodswallows should be about and we have more chances for owlet nightjar, white-backed swallow and crested bellbird.
After lunch we will return to Deniliquin, perhaps visiting wetlands en route. We may pick-up blue-billed duck as well as some waders such as marsh sandpiper, sharp-tailed sandpiper, red-capped and black-fronted dotterels.
* red-lored whistler is also a possibility but ususally requires a second night at Ouyen.

Harry Dent calling for a 20%+ drop in GDP, 89% drop in Nasdaq
March 15, 2019 by IWB
via economyandmarkets:
Last Friday I talked about how we have been in a muted Economic Winter Season. We may have had the greatest stock market bubble ever, but our economic "recovery" has been the weakest on record, despite the strongest, globally-concerted stimulus ever.
Here's a chart comparing the real GDP for the 11 years from the 1929 top through the 1940 bottom to the 11 years from 2007 to 2018.
Notice how the cumulative GDP growth since 2007 is 19%? It was 20% from 1929 through 1940. That means this period has actually been slightly worse.
How could this be?
The clear difference is that the Great Depression started with the greatest crash in U.S. history, with stocks down 89%, 25% unemployment, and a GDP fall of 30% between 1929 and 1933.
Think of it like the Big Bang. The explosion came at the beginning and everything took shape from there.
The current Economic Winter Season also started with a stock crash and high unemployment: 54% loss in the markets, near 11% unemployment, and a GDP fall of 4.3%.
Mild in comparison…
But the recovery from 1933 to 1937 saw average real GDP growth of a whopping 9% per year. We've managed to eke out just 2% per year. Then there was a less severe crash and mini-depression or great recession in 1938 that lingered into 1942. Stocks bottomed in 1942 and the next great long-term bull market began.
The next chart shows real GDP on a 10-year moving average to smooth out the trends.
Look at that remarkable difference: The period after 2007, with an average of 2% GDP, has already been lower than the extended recession and inflation trends of the Economic Summer Season from 1968 to 1982.
This tells me that this Economic Winter Season will go out with a bang (as opposed to beginning with one, like with the Great Depression).
A final deep depression, debt deleveraging and economic crisis will see a 20%-plus fall in GDP, 15%-plus unemployment, and a stock crash that could rival that -89% for the Nasdaq and maybe even the Dow.
Talk about ass-backward.
The good news is that my four key fundamental indicators are generally at their worst between 2020 and 2023 and turn up one by one after 2020. The Geopolitical Cycle turns up after 2020 as does the sunspot-driven Boom/Bust Cycle. The U.S. Generational Spending Wave turns up in 2023, making the 45-year Technology Cycle the last to flip, around 2032.
Hence, the worst of the next great crash is likely to occur by late 2020, and we won't come out of it until 2023 or so.
After that, we should enjoy a stronger recovery and quick reforms that actually deal with the debt crisis this time.
Still, we won't see as strong a recovery as that from 1933 forward because we face weaker demographic trends in the U.S. and developed world. The outstanding growth will occur in the emerging world, especially places like India and Southeast Asia.
I don't expect that the central banks can create another heroic turnaround this time when their last "something for nothing" stimulus program fails so miserably. They didn't deal with the debt and financial bubbles last time, so expect the worst ahead after this final bubble peaks later this year, or early 2020 at the latest.

The Coming Bear Market Will Be Especially Painful for the Boomers
Amazon exposed as an extension of the CIA deep state


January 20, 2018 February 20, 2018 Tracy OchesterLeave a Comment on Does Anger Equal Caring?
Have you ever been frustrated with a loved one who didn't seem to get as mad as you did about a perceived injustice? Did you ever feel flattered or impressed by someone else's anger, thinking, "they must really care"? If so, you might unconsciously be using anger as a barometer for caring.
Most of us understand that anger is an emotion, but did you know there is a theory that all emotions arise from just three feeling states: pleasant (wanted), unpleasant (unwanted), and neutral? According to this theory, the particular flavor or nuance of our emotional reaction depends on our narrative – the story we tell ourselves – which is based on things like culture, early learning, expectations and beliefs. If our interpretation of a situation identifies a threat, we are more likely to react in anger as a sort of defense. Unfortunately, angry reactions often are not well thought out.
We commonly find ourselves getting angry when we are "emotionally invested". Being emotionally invested is not necessarily caring, but it does make us feel vulnerable, because it means that we have allowed ourselves to long for a particular outcome. When we are emotionally invested we are strongly attached to our particular narrative about an experience and it feels very personal. We have developed a powerful desire for something to be or turn out a certain way – the way we believe it should or the way we want.
Ever wonder why we so often want other people to be angry when we are angry? One reason is we are hardwired for affiliation – it feels good when we are mirrored. Another reason is that when we are emotionally invested, a response that is different from our own feels invalidating – as though our desires are being frustrated. Finally, our unexamined minds tell us our reaction is the only right and rational one for the situation – any other response seems perplexing, wrong or insufficient. So, we start making interpretations about why the other person isn't as angry as we are and this usually further fuels the fire inside.
Compassion is a better measure of caring than anger. It is the willingness to see suffering clearly and the inspiration to transform it, without attachment to outcome. True compassion does not require fear, pity or outrage to motivate it. If it did, it would be unsustainable because it would quickly drain us. How can we respond effectively out of kindness and compassion when we are simultaneously burning with anger? It is actually quite difficult for compassion and anger to share space simultaneously in the mind. You can experiment with this yourself by practicing lovingkindness meditation. You will see that over time, it is harder and harder to locate the fires of anger in your heart, even for those who have hurt you or the ones you love.
Next time you feel anger, take a moment to look very closely at the thoughts and body sensations that accompany it before you react. Move past the surface and really get in close. You will likely notice that there is some sort of defense of your own personal investment there. You can tell this is so because the words or images will involve "I", "me", "my" or "mine" in some form. You may also notice there are some untested beliefs and assumptions underneath the anger. These may include thoughts about the nature, motivation or character of the "other", blame statements, or ideas about fairness, right and wrong, good and evil. Instead, let limitless compassion, free from ego and prejudice, be both your barometer for caring and your primary response to injustice.

Walt Disney World Resort to Host Veterans Institute Workshop in November
As part of its ongoing Heroes Work Here initiative to hire, train, and support military veterans, Disney is hosting a free Veterans Institute to inspire other companies to employ servicemen and women who are transitioning to the private sector.
The day-long event is planned for Thursday, November 14, at Disney's Yacht Club Resort at the Walt Disney World Resort. The Veterans Institute is co-sponsored by Heroes Work Here and the Disney Institute, and will feature experts from Heroes Work Here, government officials, veterans, and non-profit veteran service organizations.
"We're incredibly proud of the veterans who work at Disney, and we fully recognize the value, experience and skills they bring to our company," said Robert A. Iger, Chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company. "Our Heroes Work Here program not only helps us find and hire highly qualified veterans, it also supports veterans and their families as they transition out of the military. We're happy to share what we've learned with other organizations so that more of these modern-day heroes have the tools and opportunities to build meaningful careers in the private sector."
During the Veterans Institute attendees will get an inside look at Heroes Work Here and will have a chance to hear from keynote speakers including Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company; Royse Cloud, Senior Advisor on Veteran Employment, Department of Veterans Affiars; Dr. Susan S. Kelley, Director, Transition to Veteran Program Office, Department of Defense; Rich Morales, Colonel, U.S. Army and Executive Director, Joining Forces; and Teresa Gerton, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Department of Labor.
Disney launched Heroes Work Here in March 2012 with a commitment to hire more than 1,000 veterans by 2015. The company has already surpassed that goal and in March of this year increased its hiring goal to create opportunities for 1,000 more former service members in the next two years.
More information on the Veterans Institute is available here.

AG Kamala Harris Celebrates 50th Anniversary of Civil Rights Act at CAAM
Posted on July 1, 2014 by Afropix
Attorney General Kamala Harris speaking to a full house. Photograph by Paula Lauren Gibson
California Attorney General Kamala Harris had not yet been born when, on July 2, 1956, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed into law. Before that, African-Americans were prohibited by law from engaging in various activities from staying in hotels, to swimming in public pools, to attending public schools with white people. Personally, I remember as a child traveling by car from New York to Georgia for the summer. My father would pull the car over to the side of the road to catch some sleep. If we needed to go to the bathroom, we would find a convenient bush. My mother would have packed a cooler of food for the trip. Once in Georgia, we never went to restaurants or swam at the local YMCA. My great aunt's property was next to the Master's Golf course. We spend many a summer watching white men play golf through the fence. My brother Keith had reported to us kids that he had gone with Auntie Mae to deliver some food to the Augusta National Clubhouse and had seen a sign that said "No Negroes; No dogs". Being New Yorkers at the time – living in a racially mixed neighborhood in Westbury – and frankly sheltered, we didn't believe him. Auntie Mae was a cook and seamstress (and the grandchild of a slave name Rebecca White) and worked for some white people "up on the hill" a location formally known as West Augusta or Summerville.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 being signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson just a few hours after House approval on July 2, 1964.
Basically, at the time, I was clueless and didn't think anything about these things. In 1970s Georgia, again for summer vacation, I started to notice signs around the neighborhood indicating "The hands that picked cotton can now vote" or words to that effect. In 1964, we moved from Westbury to Canoga Park, (now West Hills) California. I like to joke that we were the original real life Hughleys. The Fair Housing Council of the San Fernando Valley did a documentary about my family moving into an all white neighborhood. Once in law school, reading the "Heart of Atlanta Motel" case [which held that the provision of the Civil Rights Acts were enforceable], this situation was illuminated for me. I, then, realized the significance of all of these things. Clearly the Civil Rights Act of 1964 changed not only my personal life, but the lives of all Americans.
Kamala and her sister were children of parents who met as graduate students at the University of California at Berkeley in the 1960s. According to Attorney General Harris, her parents "were civil rights activists" "who spent full-time marching and shouting about this thing called justice". The passage of the Civil Rights Acts, along with cases such as Brown vs. Board of Education, are attributed by AG Harris as part of the reason that she is the Attorney General of the State of California.
"Among the many heroes of that great movement, that civil rights movement, there were the architects who were the lawyers. Thurgood Marshall, Charles Hamilton Houston, Constance Baker Motley, who understood the skill of this great profession of law, and its ability to translate the passion from the street into the courtrooms of our country." – Kamala Harris

New Google Maps feature could simulate GPS on iPhones
Wednesday, November 28, 2007, 12:00 pm PT (03:00 pm ET)
A new version of Google Maps introduced this week includes a beta feature dubbed My Location that was designed to simulate the GPS experience on mobile phones and handheld devices that do not include GPS hardware, like Apple's iPhone.
Essentially, the My Location feature takes information broadcast from mobile towers near non-GPS equipped mobile phones to approximate the device's current location on the map down to about 10 city blocks.
"It's not GPS, but it comes pretty close (approximately 1000m close, on average)," the Mountain View, Calif.-based search giant explained on its website. "We're still in beta, but we're excited to launch this feature and are constantly working to improve our coverage and accuracy."
The My Location feature is currently available for most web-enabled mobile phones, including Java, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Nokia/Symbian devices. However, it is not yet compatible with Apple's iPhone.
Still, Apple has promised to continuously update and improve upon the feature set of its inaugural mobile handset, making it more than likely that the feature will turn up once it emerges from the beta stage.
For a more detailed explanation of My Location and a visual demonstration, please see the video below.

Q: Where to put my functions so that it can be called from my switch statement? I am very new in C# programming and I have a problem. I dont know where to put my functions and how to declare them so that I can call them from my switch statement. And will I be able to use my numberarr and wordarr array in my functions or do I also need to create a separate function for it Here is my code:
class Program
{
    enum Menu
    {
        Numbers = 1,
        Words = 2,
        Exit = 3,
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        bool isValid;
        do
        {
            isValid = true;
            Menu menu = 0;
            int number;
            string word;

            Console.WriteLine("Choose an option from the menu: ");
            Console.WriteLine("1. Numbers ");
            Console.WriteLine("2. Words ");
            Console.WriteLine("3. Exit ");

            switch (menu)
            {
                case Menu.Numbers:

                    List<int> numberarr = new List<int>();
                    Console.WriteLine("Please input as many numbers as you like or type exit");
                    number = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
                    numberarr.Add(number);

                    break;
                case Menu.Words:
                    List<string> wordarr = new List<string>();
                    Console.WriteLine("Please input as many numbers as you like");
                    word = Console.ReadLine();
                    wordarr.Add(word);

                    break;

                case Menu.Exit:

                    break;
                default:
                    Console.WriteLine("You have made an invalid selection, try again");
                    isValid = false;
                    break;
            }
        } while (isValid);

    }
}
class Choice
{
    static void Numbers(int sum, int count, int average, int max, int min)
    {

    }

    static void Words(string[] args)
    {

    }
    static void Exit()
    {

    }
}

A: If I am understanding your question, just place your functions within your class. I've adjusted your code accordingly. You may also have problems with your word/num classes. You normally have to instantiate them but with something like Choice myChoice = new Choice();
Class Program
{
    enum Menu
    {
        Numbers = 1,
        Words = 2,
        Exit = 3,
    }
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    bool isValid;
    do
    {
        isValid = true;
        Menu menu = 0;
        int number;
        string word;

        Console.WriteLine("Choose an option from the menu: ");
        Console.WriteLine("1. Numbers ");
        Console.WriteLine("2. Words ");
        Console.WriteLine("3. Exit ");

        switch (menu)
        {
            case Menu.Numbers:

                List<int> numberarr = new List<int>();
                Console.WriteLine("Please input as many numbers as you like or type exit");
                number = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
                numberarr.Add(number);
                int retInt = functionGetInt(number)

                break;
            case Menu.Words:
                List<string> wordarr = new List<string>();
                Console.WriteLine("Please input as many numbers as you like");
                word = Console.ReadLine();
                wordarr.Add(word);
                string retString = functionGetString(word);
                break;

            case Menu.Exit:

                break;
            default:
                Console.WriteLine("You have made an invalid selection, try again");
                isValid = false;
                break;
        }
    } while (isValid);
private string functionGetString(string pParmString)
{
//code
return "string";
}
private int functionGetInt(int pParmInt)
{

//code
return 0;
}

}
}

A: You can't use the methods defined in the Choice class in Main because you haven't declared them with the public identifier. In C# class properties default to being private so unless you explicitly declare them as public only the class itself will know of their existence.
So basically just change all of declarations in Choice from static void MethodName to public static void MethodName and then you will be able to call them in main from the Choice class like;
   Choice.Exit();

EDIT: You'll also need to make some changes to make the switch statement work. As pointed out in the comments there is no way for menu to have a value other than 0. I suggest you use something more like the following;
        isValid = true;
        int menu = 0;
        int number;
        string word;

        Console.WriteLine("What type do you want to use?");
        Console.WriteLine("Press 1 for numbers, 2 for words, or 3 exit.");
        string input = Console.ReadLine(); // we must read the users input

        if (!int.TryParse(input, out menu))
        {
             // the user didn't enter a number make them try again
             // note you might want to use a loop here to ensure the program does not
             // proceed until the user has entered "1", "2", or "3"
        }

        switch (menu)

A: EDIT:
For the code you presented here this would be one possibility.I removed the enum,i normally try to deal with the code presented but yes it was not necessary:
    class Program
    {
        //enum Menu
        //{
        //    Numbers = 1,
        //    Words = 2,
        //    Exit = 3,
        //}

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            bool isValid;
            do
            {
                isValid = true;
                int menu = 0;
                int[] number;
                string word;

                Console.WriteLine("Choose an option from the menu: ");
                Console.WriteLine("1. Numbers ");
                Console.WriteLine("2. Words ");
                Console.WriteLine("3. Exit ");

                string s = Console.ReadLine();
                while (!Regex.IsMatch(s, "^[1-3]{1}$"))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Please enter a valid choice(1 to 3)");
                    s = Console.ReadLine();
                }
                menu = Convert.ToInt32(s);
                switch (menu)
                {

From the 1870s through the 1950s, the Lower West Side of Chicago was a port of entry for thousands of Europeans: Irish, Bohemians, Germans, Poles, Swedes, Slovaks, Slovenes, Lithuanians, Italians, and Croatians. Today, the neighborhoods known as Pilsen, Heart of Chicago, and Little Village form the center of Chicago's flourishing Mexican community. Not only have Mexican newcomers revitalized older ethnic institutions here, but they have established their own businesses, restaurants, and social centers.
Throughout its history, the Lower West Side has been a relatively isolated area, bounded by railroad tracks on the north and west and by the South Branch of the Chicago River on the south and east. Despite the fact that the Burlington Railroad linked this part of the city to the downtown business district, the area developed as a working-class neighborhood. Large manufacturing plants such as the McCormick Reaper Works (later known as International Harvester) and the Western Electric Company's Hawthorne Works in Cicero were responsible for much of the growth of the Lower West Side, and they reinforced its character as an industrial neighborhood.
Like the Back of the Yards district on Chicago's South Side, Pilsen and its adjoining communities supported a wide range of ethnic institutions and businesses. In addition to building homes in the area, residents established churches and fraternal organizations which met their special needs, first as immigrants and later as second- and third-generation Americans. Home ownership set these neighborhoods apart from the nearby Lawndale district, where families rented apartments in multi-unit buildings. While social mobility did occur in each of the area's ethnic groups, the Lower West Side has remained a stable area. Just as Bohemians who settled in Pilsen relocated further west as they moved up the economic ladder, so Mexican families have also purchased homes, especially in Heart of Chicago and Little Village. These latter neighborhoods are in many respects "suburbs" of Pilsen, which continues to be the port of entry for Spanish-speaking families from rural Mexico and Texas.

Analysis: Airlines restart as COVID sparks a revolution in one-day business travel
The most popular airlines have changed since 2019 – OAG
Higher airfares offsetting the drop in travel
Environmental concerns are a factor for some companies
SYDNEY/CHICAGO, Nov 7 (Reuters) – Airlines around the world are disrupting schedules and bringing in new flights to cope with a COVID-induced trend in corporate travel for executives like Jerome Harris – ditching business day trips in favor of longer stays.
For Sydney-based Harris, grueling day trips to Melbourne or Brisbane – meaning four taxi rides, two flights, extended waits and the risk of delays – are no longer a pandemic-induced reassessment of his travel habits. travel.
Industry data shows business travelers are taking longer trips than before COVID-19, leaving airlines to adjust flight plans. Environmental concerns, rising ticket prices, increased flight cancellations amid staff shortages and a boom in online video conferencing are all undermining the day-trip option as an industry standard.
"I'm happier to save effort and carbon and do a few days in one place and have time to meet a lot of people and visit a lot of projects," said Harris, who works for an infrastructure company.
Corporate travel agency CWT said in global terms, the proportion of domestic day trips has fallen by more than 25% compared to 2019 levels, as online dating grows in popularity.
In markets from Australia to the United States, airlines must adapt to maximize revenue. US carriers, for example, are adding more midweek flights as travelers take more business-to-leisure trips, with many taking advantage of greater flexibility to work remotely.
"Tuesdays and Wednesdays are not as difficult as they used to be in a traditional week," according to United Airlines ( UAL.O ) Chief Commercial Officer Andrew Nocella, speaking on an earnings call last month.
For corporate travel agency CWT's head of sales, Akshay Kapoor, the change is long-term for both airlines and hotels.
"I think the trend away from day trips in favor of longer stays is here to stay as travelers become more environmentally and fiscally conscious," Kapoor said. "This could translate into higher revenue per available room for hotels in the long run."
PAY MORE, STAY LONGER
At a time when airfares have skyrocketed, the average length of a domestic business trip to Australia rose to almost four days in the third quarter of this year, from three in 2019, according to Flight Center Travel Group Ltd (FLT.AX) .
"I think maybe because people are paying more, they're taking advantage of the longer layover," Flight Center Corporate head of Australia and New Zealand Melissa Elf said.
Qantas Airways Ltd ( QAN.AX ) and Virgin Australia say higher airfares have so far offset any revenue impact from fewer business trips. But changing travel patterns are becoming apparent in airline schedules, where flights on popular business routes have fallen, reflecting a drop in same-day demand in proportion to those preferred by leisure travelers.
Sydney-Melbourne is the fifth busiest domestic route in the world currently, according to travel data firm OAG, up from second in 2019.
In North America, business-heavy Los Angeles-San Francisco, the busiest domestic route in 2019 according to OAG, drops to eighth place. It has been replaced at the top by the leisure-dominated Las Vegas-Los Angeles and Honolulu-Maui.
Ajit Chouhan, a Texas-based human resources executive, used to take day trips to San Francisco at least once a month before the pandemic. But now he uses Zoom or Microsoft Teams for shorter meetings, describing the online options as "convenient and more productive."
To be sure, day travel isn't dead, especially when companies are eager to sign up new customers face-to-face, said American Express Global Business Travel Chief Operating Officer Drew Crawley.
"If I'm on a business trip, do I want to stay an extra day if my partner is home?" he said.
But the proportion varies by industry and is declining. Day trips accounted for about 4% of domestic business travel globally in 2019, according to CWT data, up from 3% now.
For Sydney-based Harris, avoiding same-day trips has also helped him avoid some of the frustrations of travel chaos as airlines increase capacity while understaffing.
"Losing a few hours on a three-day trip is not the end of the world, but being interrupted on a one-day (trip) is very stressful," he said.

Nudity Ban Protest, Jane Warner Plaza, S.F. 2013-11-17
Tags: 2013 Leif Heilberg Public Nudity San Francisco more...
Nudity Ban Protest, Jane Warner Plaza, San Francisco, 17th November 2013. All photos by Leif Heilberg.
Gypsy Taub, the local activist, had planned a protest against the nudity ban, for 12 o'clock noon at Jane Warner Plaza in San Francisco. Gypsy and entourage arrived about twenty minutes before, and started setting up posters for the staging of the event.
Already there was the German TV crew from Cologne. The main videographer was Christian, and the interviewer was Kurt; the sound man carried a pole with a microphone attached to its end.
Kurt spoke to whomever he found capable of giving info about the event, about nudism in San Francisco, etc.
At 12 noon several semi-nude folks had set up in a section of the plaza, and they started with addressing the gathering crowd, explaining what they were up to. Then a few of the activists stripped nude, and Gypsy read up a long statement. Very soon patrol cars came up 17th Street, parked, and disgorged a dozen police officers who for the time being remained in the background, beyond the crowds. Some anti-social individual had called the cops, and by 30 minutes into the event, half a dozen patrol cars, a motorcycle, and a paddy wagon were visible on 17th Street.
When Gypsy had finished her statement she announced that she was going to be married next month at San Francisco City Hall, and the wedding was to be in the nude. Then she said the group was now going to walk down Castro Street. That was at twenty to one, forty minutes into the event, and just then the big Razzia began, with the cops moving in and arresting Gypsy and her fiancé, putting handcuffs on them and marching them away.
Gypsy protested and showed a police officer that a 2-hour permit for the event had been issued by City Hall. The police disregarded the permit and hauled these "dangerous criminals" away.

A recent Ernst & Young study has proclaimed Kenya the biggest investor in other African countries.
According to the report of the study, South Africa is no longer the chief investor.
Kenya overtook South Africa to become the biggest investor in terms of the number of projects in 2015.
The East Africa country championed with the 36 investment projects it undertook in other African countries the previous year. While South Africa humbly follows behind with its 33 projects.
The report highlighted that Kenya is 'a big gainer' in foreign direct investment (FDI).
Globally, it ranked Kenya the seventh major source of foreign direct investment to Africa.
East Africa, it said, recorded its highest share of FDI across Africa, achieving 26.3% of total projects in 2015. And, Kenya is 'a bigger gainer'.
However, the report stipulated that Southern Africa is still the largest investment region in Africa.
This is so despite the fact that projects were down 11.6% from 2014 levels.
Also, the West Africa region saw a rebound in FDI projects by 16.2%. The region also, outpaced Southern Africa to became the leading recipient of capital investment on the continent.
Speaking, Ernst & Young's Chief Executive Officer, Ajen Sita said: "Over the past year, global markets have experienced unprecedented volatility.
We've witnessed the collapse of commodity prices and a number of currencies across Africa.
…with reference to the two largest markets, starting with South Africa, we saw GDP growth decline sharply to below one percent and the country averting a credit ratings downgrade.
In Nigeria, the slowdown in that economy was impacted further by the decline in the oil price and currency devaluation pressure.
The reality is that economic growth across the region is likely to remain slower in coming years than it has been over the past 10 to 15 years. The main reasons for a relative slowdown are not unique to Africa.
Generally, the report asserted that Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the fastest growing regions in the world. That, it said, is reflected in the foreign direct investment levels in 2015 where FDI project numbers increased by seven percent.
