Video (02:33) : Native Indian voters attended an early voting celebration Thursday at the American Indian OIC. The ceremony included voter information, lawn signs, food and drumming before groups were guided to early polling places.
DULUTH – The chief executive of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe took to the stage at a news conference in Duluth on Sunday and repeated what she has been telling band members for weeks: "Get out there and vote, and take your friends and relatives to vote."
"We know in Indian Country when we get out the vote, we make the difference," Melanie Benjamin said.
Minnesota's nearly 80,000 Indigenous voters are being courted like never before in an election where increased turnout could prove decisive. In recent weeks the Red Lake Nation reported registering 5,500 new voters, while an event on the Leech Lake Reservation netted 500 new voter registrations.
Though turnout among Native Americans has historically been some 10% lower than other groups and a third are not registered to vote, according to the National Congress of American Indians, many are more motivated this time around.
"We haven't always had that right, that opportunity," Benjamin said. "We want to make sure that we're sitting at the table to talk about the issues that are dear to us, which is our reservation boundaries, our inherent sovereign right as governments, our language, our traditions and our value systems."
After sitting out in the past, whether due to disenfranchisement or disinterest in nontribal politics, the stakes have been raised in this election. Race and the government's treatment of Black, Indigenous and people of color remain prominent issues following the death of George Floyd.

Maggie Thunder-Hawk distributed T-shirts at the get-out-the-vote event at American Indian OIC in Minneapolis on Thursday.
While about 114,350 Minnesotans — 2% of the state population — identify as American Indian or Alaska Native, federal policies have an outsized impact on tribal members and the state's 11 federally recognized tribes.
"Native folks have more at stake, in my opinion, than any other community — our lives are touched more by government than anyone else's," said Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe who is the highest-ranking Native American woman holding statewide office in the country. "I truly think people know this is the most important election of our lifetime."
'Folks are engaged'
Flanagan has been working on voter engagement in Indigenous communities for decades and said she has seen close races decided by those voters.
Voting-age Native Americans make up 3.6% of the electorate in the Seventh Congressional District covering the western third of the state, according to data from the nonpartisan Native Vote project. Those voters could shift the balance toward DFL Rep. Collin Peterson or his Republican challenger, Michelle Fischbach, in one of the state's most closely watched races.
"Voter registration and turnout [among Indigenous people] was key in flipping a lot of elections starting about a decade ago," Flanagan said. "Because of our relationship with the federal government, these races matter tremendously."
Tribes and Native American advocacy groups have been boosting their outreach this year. On Thursday the American Indian OIC in south Minneapolis held an early voting event that drew hundreds throughout the day.
"We wanted to remind folks we have power, we have strength in our community," said Joe Hobot, CEO of the nonprofit and a descendant of the Hunkpapa Band of the Lakota Nation. "Most of our community is located in the Third Precinct — folks are galvanized."
Similar events and free rides to polls have been planned on reservations around the state.
The lieutenant governor took part in the recent Leech Lake Reservation voter registration drive and said she saw a lot of energy among those who attended.
"Folks are engaged," Flanagan said. "When we're talking about issues that matter with Native communities — investing in education and protecting the environment — those are issues that speak to voters very broadly."
Looking at maps of election results, the state's reservations are often pockets of blue surrounded by the typical rural red. Indigenous voters, at least in Minnesota, tend to vote for Democrats.
But just 20% of the state's Native American residents live on reservations. More than a quarter live in Hennepin and Ramsey counties, and the rest are spread across rural and urban areas around the state, according to a recent study by the Legislature.
"I would say the majority of tribes vote Democrat, but we're not a monolithic bloc of voters, there's people all over the place," said Tadd Johnson, a professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota Duluth and the U's first director of American Indian Tribal Relations. "Tribes are pretty motivated this year with COVID, and it's been a very unusual mood in the country. I think they'll be out in full force this year."
Johnson, a member of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa who has worked as a tribal lawyer and for the U.S. House of Representatives, said as more Native Americans are elected, voter turnout has increased.
"I think it helps to see some of their own faces," he said.
Drum group Hoka Hey performed a send-off song at an early voting event at American Indian OIC in Minneapolis before departing to early polling sites.
While many tribal leaders are encouraging members to vote and some have publicly backed candidates, others, like the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, have not made any endorsements.
Johnson learned from a mentor early in his career on Capitol Hill that "we have to work with whoever is in power."
"A lot of tribes are very careful about that because they don't know what's going to come down the pipe," he said. "Some of the old-timers I talk to think Obama was very good on Indian affairs, but as far as making huge changes, Nixon kicked a lot of things into gear."
In the current era of federal-tribal relations there is a focus on sovereignty and self-determination that tribes have an interest in preserving, and expanding, no matter who is in office.
"We need folks on both sides of the aisle," Johnson said. "When the Senate is run by Republicans we need Native American staffers in there who know a lot of Indian law and policy."
Motivated voters
Donna Bergstrom grew up in a Republican household, and her service in the U.S. Marine Corps only strengthened her commitment to the Constitution and ideals of limited government.
"Less government and responsible citizenship brought my family to the Republican Party," said Bergstrom, a member of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa who was the Republican lieutenant governor nominee in 2018. "On the reservations there's a sense of 'I don't want the government all over me.' We certainly had enough of that in the boarding-school era."
Bergstrom is again running to become one of the first Native American women in the Minnesota Senate, representing Duluth in Senate District 7. It's an uphill battle, given Duluth's reliably DFL tilt, but she sees an opportunity to make gains on her 2016 run.
Education remains a major issue among Indigenous voters Bergstrom talks to, along with safety and the opioid epidemic. Native Americans also serve in the military at higher rates than other groups, making veterans' issues important motivators at the ballot box.
"There's some sentiment of 'Why should I vote? I live on the reservation or go back and forth,' but there has been some significant outreach," she said. "Having myself on the 2018 ticket and the current lieutenant governor brought an awareness — it means we can be engaged and we can be involved."
Duluth City Council Member Renee Van Nett, a member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, has been rallying voters for Biden and other DFL candidates. She's hearing a lot of Indigenous folks say they sat out past elections but are planning to vote this year — or already voted early, in many cases.
"It matters. It mattered before, but it really matters now," she said. "We're on the menu if we're not making decisions."

South Africa Metro
South Africa (The Goodies)
South Africa (song)
Transcend hemispheres through a new metro line serving central Johannesburg! This WEBEO explores the possibilities of an underground metro rail system in the South African city of Johannesburg, which has a population of 5 million within its city limits. Johannesburg is the perfect candidate for such a metro system as there is high foot traffic/density throughout a large area of the central business district. Also, Park station, the main commuter railway station, away from the business districts, so the metro can help ease roadside congestion throughout the city. Finally, the metro will serve underserved regions of central Johannesburg by offering them an alternative to the existing and overcrowded BRT system. The system consists of two lines. Line 1 connects from Mayfair to Troyeville going under Commissioner Street downtown. Line 2 intersects line 1 at Gandhi Square, and extends south to Rosettenville, and north to both the University of Johannesburg and Bellevue. The system will be constructed using a deep tube style, as street disruption will be kept to a minimum. The stations are approximately 0.8 to 1 km apart. Line 1 (5.61 km): Mayfair, Fordsburg, Westgate, Kort Street, GANDHI SQUARE, Von Wielligh Street, Slovo, Ellis Park, Troyeville Line 2 (9.89 km): Rosettenville, La Rochelle, Stafford, Village Main, GANDHI SQUARE, Kerk Street, Park, (splits into east and west branch) {West Branch: City Council, Melle, Witwatersrand, Sunnyside, Uitsaaisentrum, Auckland Park, University of Johannesburg} [East Branch: Hillbrow, Berea, Yeoville, Bellevue] By: Atharv Gupte http://www.webeotransportation.com/ http://www.facebook.com/webeotransportation/
A compilation of images and videos of the commute by train from Cape Town Central Station.

High speed Bombardier train in Johannesburg, South Africa - Gautrain. Taken from Rhodesfield station to Sandton station - the whole trip in 12 minutes!
This is one of the newest fleets of Prasa's Metrorail trains range. Here it is taking off overloaded at one of the stations in Cape Town Metropolitan Area.
Hello everyone! This video is a bit different to what I usually do, but I think it is a cool thing to do that you do not see often. In this video I made a Metro system for the city of Johannesburg, the largest city in the Republic of South Africa. This map was made to portray an idea of what a rapid rail transit system in a large city like Johannesburg would look like and I will make more of them in different cities for different videos. There is currently no rapid rail system in Johannesburg, and the closest things to one is the Gautrain which is more like a Commuter rail service than a rapid transit system as it serves stations with longer distances than a rapid rail system and possibly less stations overall, and the rail systems that serve townships, which also count as commuter rails, but they serve the townships poorly and many train surfing incidents happen, so if this was really built I think it would be very beneficial for the people of Johannesburg and could even inspire more metros around the world.This is a completely fictional video, and the Johannesburg Metro does not exist as of uploading.Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the map!
President Jacob Zuma says South Africa will ensure a progressively reliable and comfortable commuter rail service over the next two decades. Zuma was speaking at the official launch of new passenger railway trains in Pretoria. A total of 600 trains are planned to be manufactured. CGTN's Yolisa Njamela has the story.

Intamin Transportation Ltd. has signed an agreement with Rivers Monorail Company Ltd to deliver a Monorail System for the city of Port Harcourt. Port Harcourt and its metropolitan area counts actually 3.7 Mio citizens and is characterised by oil production and its associated industries. The rapidly increasing traffic in the city regularly leads to congested roads. Therefore city-planners were looking for a fast implementation of an efficient mass transit system. Rivers Monorail will be using Intamin's monorail train type P30, an electric driven train especially designed and most suitable for public transport services in cities. The train is characterized by an innovative design, spacious cabins and is equipped with large size door openings for easy access for passengers with luggage. The modern design of the trains combined with a seamless appearance of the track system integrates the system excellently into the environment. The system covers approx. twenty kilometres within the city of Port Harcourt, serving 14 stations between Aggrey Rd. and the loop North/East of the Garrison station. The train guiding system combined with a sophisticated automatic train protection and guiding solution, allows for optimisation of line performance while improving the safety of operation with trains at a speed of up to 80km/h. The train operation is monitored by staff in the Operation Control Centre. The monorail project is part of the city's and River State infrastructural investments to improve the traffic situation. With over four decades of experience Intamin provides Monorail Systems for public transportation which are in compliance or even exceed the highest standards and safety regulations demanded by public transportation.

South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is the southernmost sovereign state in Africa. It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and on the east by Mozambique and Swaziland, and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho. South Africa is the 25th-largest country in the world by land area, and with close to 53 million people, is the world's 24th-most populous nation. It is the southernmost country on the mainland of the Old World or the Eastern Hemisphere.
South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most white and coloured South Africans; English reflects the legacy of British colonialism, and is commonly used in public and commercial life, though it is fourth-ranked as a spoken first language.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup was the 19th FIFA World Cup, the world championship for men's national association football teams. It took place in South Africa from 11 June to 11 July 2010. The bidding process for hosting the tournament finals was open only to African nations; in 2004, the international football federation, FIFA, selected South Africa over Egypt and Morocco to become the first African nation to host the finals.
The matches were played in 10 stadiums in nine host cities around the country, with the final played at the Soccer City stadium in South Africa's largest city, Johannesburg. Thirty-two teams were selected for participation via a worldwide qualification tournament that began in August 2007. In the first round of the tournament finals, the teams competed in round-robin groups of four teams for points, with the top two teams in each group proceeding. These 16 teams advanced to the knockout stage, where three rounds of play decided which teams would participate in the final.

South African wine has a history dating back to 1659 with Constantia, a vineyard near Cape Town, being considered one of the greatest wines in the world. Access to international markets has unleashed a burst of new energy and new investment. Production is concentrated around Cape Town, with major vineyard and production centres at Paarl, Stellenbosch and Worcester. There are about 60 appellations within the Wine of Origin (WO) system, which was implemented in 1973 with a hierarchy of designated production regions, districts and wards. WO wines must be made 100% from grapes from the designated area. "Single vineyard" wines must come from a defined area of less than 5 hectares. An "Estate Wine" can come from adjacent farms, as long as they are farmed together and wine is produced on site. A ward is an area with a distinctive soil type or climate, and is roughly equivalent to a European appellation.
The roots of the South African wine industry can be traced to the explorations of the Dutch East India Company which established a supply station in what is now Cape Town. A Dutch surgeon, Jan van Riebeeck, was given the task of managing the station and planting vineyards to produce wines and grapes intended to ward off scurvy amongst sailors during their voyages along the spice route. The first harvest and crushing took place in 1659, seven years after landing in 1652. The man succeeding Van Riebeeck as governor of the Cape of Good Hope, Simon van der Stel, sought to improve the quality of viticulture in the region. In 1685, Van der Stel purchased a large 750 hectares (1,900 acres) estate just outside Cape Town, establishing the Constantia wine estate. After Van der Stel's death, the estate fell into disrepair but was revived in 1778 when it was purchased by Hendrik Cloete.

Apartheid (Afrikaans pronunciation: [ɐˈpartɦɛit]; an Afrikaans word meaning "separateness", or "the state of being apart", literally "apart-hood") was a system of racial segregation in South Africa enforced through legislation by the National Party (NP), the governing party from 1948 to 1994. Under apartheid, the rights, associations, and movements of the majority black inhabitants and other ethnic groups were curtailed, and white minority rule was maintained. Apartheid was developed after World War II by the Afrikaner-dominated National Party and Broederbond organizations. The ideology was also enforced in South West Africa, which was administered by South Africa under a League of Nations mandate (revoked in 1966 via United Nations Resolution 2145), until it gained independence as Namibia in 1990. By extension, the term is currently used for forms of systematic segregation established by the state authority in a country against the social and civil rights of a certain group of citizens due to ethnic prejudices.

"South Africa" is an episode of the award-winning British comedy television series The Goodies.
This episode is also known as "Apartheight" and as "A South African Adventure".
Written by The Goodies, with songs and music by Bill Oddie.
The Goodies are hired by a maniacally racist South African Tourist Agent to make an advertisement encouraging Britons to come to South Africa. However, the tourist agent is unhappy with what they have done, since they showed black people in South Africa having a good time. Tim points out that South Africa has many black people, but the Tourist Agent retorts that they are not having a good time. The enraged agent forces the Goodies to emigrate to South Africa.
The influx of tourist boats the Goodies' advertisement brings allows the black people an opportunity to get away from South Africa, leading to apartheid segregation disintegrating. To keep the economy going, apartheid is replaced by the new segregation of apartheight (apart-height). Tim and Graeme are tall enough not to be affected — but Bill is not quite tall enough. Bill, and the South African jockeys, are now treated as the second class citizens of South Africa, and are put under curfew. Bill is also forced to work for Tim and Graeme, who both take full advantage of Bill's newly disadvantaged position and treat him like a slave. Bill takes charge of the situation, and he and the jockeys rebel and eventually win out against their 'masters'.

Now I am my own
Trying to call myself a brother
Living here alone
Maybe if you came to see me
Wishing I wasn't so blind
Sitting here thinking to be free
Maybe we'd all change our mind
She is kind and beautiful
I am young and strong
We have never met each other
But it can't be long
Oft' I have slept by her window
Often I whisper her name
And wonder that words in the wind blow

As we celebrate the 47th Independence Anniversary of Ghana this March, I find it appropriate to trace the history of stated-organized education in that country since the establishment of the Castle Schools by the British Colonial Administration in Ghana (known as Gold Coast before independence in March, 1957). Granted the fact that education is one of the most important tool for national development it becomes the responsibility of any progressive government anywhere to provide and promote sound educational policies as well as infrastructure that will help its people to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes that enable them to develop their potentials. McWilliam and Kwamena-Poh (1975) state that it was not until the last quarter of the 19th century that Ghana began to take first steps towards a state-organized education. Before then informal systems of education had been the main way in which Ghanaian communities prepared their members for citizenship. It is interesting to note that in Ghana the first "school" was the home: the "teachers" were the parents and the elders in the family. The "curriculum" was life and learning was by observation. According to McWilliam and Kwamena-Poh (1975), the first major purpose of such education was the inculcation of good character and good health in the young members of the community. The second was to give them adequate knowledge of their history, beliefs and culture, thus enabling them to participate fully in social life. It could be seen from the foregoing comment that the purpose of non-formal education since the beginning of the Ghanaian society has been for national development. Castle Schools: Though the traditional educational system in Ghana provided special training for members of the community it would certainly not have been adequate to modern needs. The building of formal educational system started with the colonial government in the form of castle schools in the foreign endeavors of the then Gold Coast in the 1600s and later as colonial schools in the 1800s. A native of Ghana (then Gold Coast), Philip Quaque was trained in England at the early age of thirteen and after his graduation became the first African headmaster of the Colonial School at Cape Coast, Ghana in 1766 and held the position till his death fifty years later. The Colonial School at Cape Coast produced the first generation of English-educated Africans, which though small had great influence on the development of the country. Prominent among them was George Blankson of Anomabu, who in 1861 became the first pure African member of the Legislative Council. Mission Schools: Mission Schools followed the Castle Schools with the arrival of the Missions in the country. The Wesleyan and Basel Missionaries established schools in Cape Coast, Dixcove, Anomabu, Accra, all along the coast and Akropong, few miles away from the coast respectively in the 1830s and 1850s. The now Ashanti Region of Ghana began to experience some formal schooling when in 1831 two Asante princes were sent to the Cape Coast castle school to be educated at the expense of the then Governor of Gold Coast, Maclean. They were Owusu Kwantabisa, the son of the Asantehene, Osei Yao (1824-34), and Owusu Ansah, son of his predecessor, Osei Bonsu (1800-24). The two Asante boys were later sent to England to further their education for the next three years. They returned to the region in 1841 as British agents. Meanwhile, the Wesleyan missionaries had moved to Kumasi, which is the capital town of Ashanti to establish mission schools there. According to McWilliam and Kwamena-Poh (1975), not only were missions regarded as the right bodies to manage education; they had more money than the government with which to do so. For example, in the same year, 1844, Thomas Birch Freeman during a single visit to Britain was able to collect 5,500 pounds for the work of the Wesleyan Mission in Gold Coast-more than the Gold Coast government's total revenue for that year. Yet the missionaries opened schools not to spread literacy or to train their students to earn a living; they did so because they thought that schools were one of the best means of spreading the Christian faith. First Education Ordinance: The first Education Ordinance in the country was passed in 1852 under Governor Stephen Hill. It was to provide for the better education of the inhabitants of Her Majesty's forts and settlements on the Gold Coast. The ordinance failed due to the refusal of the people to bear the cost of education through the Poll Tax. Another Education Ordinance in 1882 brought two categories of primary schools in the country. "Government" and "assisted" schools. The latter were run by non-government bodies. The government policies had no influence on education in Asante and the Northern Territories until the annexation of Asante by the British in 1901, and the establishment of the Northern Territories Protectorate at about the same time. The Accelerated Development Plan: Governor Guggisberg brought improvement to the economic, health and education sectors of the country. In 1920 he established the Educationists' Committee which recommendations saw tremendous expansion to the education system in the Gold Coast. Later, in the 1940s under the rule of Governor Burns the desire for compulsory education for all children in the country engineered the Accelerated Development Plan for Education in Ghana. This was to be given a big attention in post-independent Ghana under the Premiership of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. (see the Accelerated Development Plan for Education, Accra, 1951).
The rapid development notwithstanding education practices in northern Ghana present one of the many education inequalities and disparities of the system of education that the country inherited from the colonial powers. Educational development in the north is very recent compared to the south. In addition, people in northern Ghana are underserved by the nation's educational system. The area has few schools when compared to number of children of school going age. The northern area also has high pupil to teacher ratio, most of the teachers who are recruited lack pre-service training, and the state of school infrastructure in that part of the country is comparatively poor. Post-Independence Educational Development: After Ghana attained independence from British Colonial rule on March 6, 1957 education became a high priority on the government's agenda. There were policies on free compulsory basic education, free textbooks for all students and, the creation of local education authorities with responsibilities for buildings, equipment and maintenance grants for primary schools (Asiedu-Akrofi, 1982, p. 100). There was a dramatic increase in the number of elementary and secondary schools during the regime of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah which was overthrown in a military coup in 1966.
Though a new education committee under Professor Kwapong was appointed immediately after the overthrow of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah to fix the weakness in Ghana's education, at the close of the 1970s, Ghana's education could only be described as "decayed" and needed organic rejuvenation. The decay was a result of political instability with its resulting poor management, corruption,and general macroeconomic turmoil (Mfum-Mensah, 1998).
By the 1980s, Ghana's education system had become dysfunctional. Serious challenges confronted it. In 1988, the military government of Jerry John Rawlings implemented broad reforms that touched all levels of the education system and attempted to address the recurring issues affecting the system. The reforms reduced pre-university education in the country from 17 years to 12 years (six years of primary, three years of junior secondary-JSS and three years of senior secondary-SSS education). There was also national literacy campaign through non-formal education for school drop-outs and adult learners. The civilian government of Ghana under President J.J. Rawlings in 1996 implemented the Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education (fCUBE). This was specially designed to focus on basic education access and quality through improving the quality of teaching and learning, efficiency in management and, increasing access and local participation.
Rawlings handed over government to J. A. Kufuor in 2001. Since then, President Kufuor has come up with some education reforms up to now. Unfortunately, very little has been achieved in the light of all these reforms, especially for those living in rural communities. The recent SSS final examination results throughout the country testify to that. That is the sad story of Ghana's education system as at now.
If Ghana as a country would revisit its pre-independence high standard in education then the government will have to make education a top priority and commit more resources (both local and international) to ensuring the rejuvenation of the country's education system. The waste, "try and error", misapplication and mismanagement in the system must be stopped! Joe Kingsley Eyiah (Ph. D.

If you have heard about full house water filters or full house water softening but you have been unsure as to whether this is a product that you should spend money on having installed, you will want to keep reading. You are bound to find that there are indeed many great reasons to have this type of filtration system set up in your home.
Whether you are taking a shower in the bathroom or hand washing dishes in the kitchen, when there is hard water coming through the pipes in the house, your skin can often be left to feel tough and dried out. This is because you have hard water running through the house, which is full of harsh minerals that did not make it out when it went through the filtration system at the water company. All you need to do is to have a water softening system installed and your hard water will be turned to soft water. When this happens, your skin will feel much softer whenever you are done washing.
In some cases, the replacement of an appliance is needed simply because the appliance got old and you were able to get a lot of use out of it over the years. However, hard water has been known to cut down on the life expectancy of many appliances, causing people to have to replace them a lot sooner than they should have to. This is due to the hard minerals being left behind in the appliances. They wear them down. Once you start having soft water run through your dishwasher and coffee pot, as well as anything else that uses water, you will find that everything is going to start lasting a lot longer.
Hard water does a number on clothing. It causes them to feel stiff and the fibers to wear down quicker than they should. When you start washing your clothing, blankets, and towels with soft water, this will change. You will no longer feel the roughness that is experienced when hard water minerals are left trapped in the fibers. Everything will feel much softer.
Once you have decided that you are ready to have a filtration system for the entire home installed, you will want to get in touch with a water softening system sales and installation company in your area, like Dupage Water Conditioning. This way, you will not have to worry about figuring out how to install the system on your own. Also, while the installation expert is there, he or she will be able to take a few moments to teach you whatever you need to know about maintaining the system.


For me this site is the best. I can listen, download, create playlists and it has a nice design too. Mp3clan's stuff did a good job. Thumbs up.
Can be a little tricky but go to 4 songs it's better and less complicated.
I am a High school student attending Baldwin county, and I believe that downloading material for class would be SO HELPFUL!
This site has been around for a long time and is always the best place to find all music!
This site is the best for music.
MusicForYou.ga is the best website out there for MP3s download. You can download playlist from Spotify, YouTube and Deezer. You also have access to all the artists and download complete discographies.
All the songs have the right metadata (such as right cover image, artist and album information).
I love that they include album artwork and song tags with every download, helps keep my library organized and makes my music player look beautiful on my phone!
I've been searching for a website that automatically adds ID3 tags and album cover and this is by far the best one I've ever seen!
Best one on this list by far!
I think this site has the potential to be better than mp3skull in the near future. Thumbs up!
This is the best ever site for downloading music!
No description needed. This site will go live on Sep 25th.
I personally mp3clan for actually downloading music at high quality. Dilandau is, however, great for music discovery.
Mp3mask is a free mp3 search engine..
It is very good site for listening and downloading all sorts of music.
Good website for downloading mp4 without any registration and is absolutely free.

"What is different about IPS is that we are a physician-led organization, which will offer an equity model that physicians can invest in if they so choose and a governance structure that will have more than 50 percent of the board comprised of physicians," said Orlando L. Alvarez, Jr., IPS CEO and Sisters of Charity Health System senior vice president for physician alignment.
Through a unique market arrangement with GE Healthcare, IPS will offer General Electric's Centricity® Practice Solution offering as its EMR solution. The selection of this product included a robust vetting process that involved physicians from across all Sisters of Charity Health System markets as well as a physician advisory committee comprised of independent physicians.
The technology will position independent medical practitioners to demonstrate meaningful use in order to receive federal incentives as well as provide them with efficiencies and other benefits of practicing in an electronic environment. Additionally, IPS will allow independent medical practitioners to maintain their independence while keeping pace with larger, affiliated practices and meeting the new technology requirements mandated under the Affordable Care Act of 2010. IPS will also provide billing and collections services and hopes to organize physicians into an Independent Practice Association (IPA) in order to develop clinical integration strategies and group contract opportunities with health care insurance companies and other payors.
The Sisters of Charity Health System's investment includes securing a talented management team led by Mark Wiedt, IPS president and chief operating officer. Wiedt most recently served as CEO of the largest independent multi-specialty physician group in Northeast Ohio. With decades of experience in managing physician practices, Wiedt and his team will lead the operations of the physician-focused organization.
The long-term goal of IPS is to position its physicians for the inevitable changes in health care as a result of new reimbursement models and health care reform legislation. With its technology infrastructure, IPS will be able to tackle the challenges of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and other population management models.
In spite of national trends, Northeast Ohio has a large number of independent physicians who have yet to become employed by hospital systems.
IPS is aggressively recruiting from a pool of more than 4,000 independent physicians in Northeast Ohio to make them aware that they have options that will enable their practices to remain truly independent.
Dr. Hall understands all too well the pressure that independent physicians are feeling to quickly become compliant with the pending health care reform requirements, which often means sacrificing their independence.
Interesting approach…we'll have to see how many docs go for it…not sure that "virtual" is the best term to describe it — signing up for GE EHR seems like a fairly big commitment.
Hi Vince, thanks for comment.
I think the 'virtual' term here is specific to a contractual network, vs. a fully integrated (clinically and economically) ACO.
The jury is out on how these entities will need to be constructed legally.

All the destruction these Evil people are doing to your minds, and your Country , with Your permission, are leading you to the world of pure Socialism, done right, the consequences will be Utopien for the powerfull and the rich, not so much for the "Sheeple" who thought it was such a great idea.
Try and live one day without Capitalism, no toilet paper, tampons, deodorant, clothing, shoes, clean water, cars, public transportation, hungry hunt your food but first make a spear with no tools, clean the catch without a knife, assuming you can catch anything, make fire without matches, bon appétit. And remember your every move is being watched and calculated by big brother/sister Socialism and they too hate Capitalism.
They will continue to enjoy all the finer things in life, that Capitalism brings, like the Daughter of the Great Dictator and Socialist Of Venezuela , Hugo Chaves' , she lives in a palace, is worth billions of Her people's money, that her daddy stole from "HIS" people. That are living , right now , like in the above quote. And the people loved him.
Humans are so easy, especially the dumb ones, Their "Handlers" teach them how to Hate and Greed, knowing that these, damaged and easily swayed ,will help in any way they can, to bring their the money and power right to them.

What Are The U.S. Drug Paraphernalia Laws?
While it remains federally illegal to possess, sell or use weed or paraphernalia anywhere in the United States, many state-level laws differ about the legalities of recreational or medical marijuana use and paraphernalia. The U.S. drug paraphernalia laws can be very confusing to understand, but important to know if traveling with or purchasing paraphernalia.
The term "For Tobacco Use Only," is popping up all over the country in window fronts where paraphernalia is sold; "bong" is being replaced with the term "water pipe." Shop owners make it clear to customers, and the government, they are not selling items to aid in the use or consumption of marijuana, which is still considered an illegal substances in many places. Rather, these items are marketed for use with pipe tobacco or hookah products, both substances which are completely legal anywhere in the USA.
The trick with this loophole is it only works with clean pieces of paraphernalia, and even then it can still be left up to interpretation, depending on how strict the area you're in is. Neither the buyer nor seller can reference the items in relation to weed or for use with weed, a mistake many buyers make before being asked to leave a store.
Consider where you are. If you're in California or Colorado, somewhere famously known for their legalization laws, the chances of getting into any serious trouble are probably slim. On the reverse side, being somewhere known for their anti-marijuana legislation, like Utah or Alabama, could have much more serious consequences for people caught with paraphernalia.
While traveling, it would be best to keep any paraphernalia items squeaky clean. This way, if you are caught with something, there is less of a chance of being charged with anything criminally; you, too, can say it is for tobacco use only. Flying with marijuana or paraphernalia is never advisable. While airports do not screen for weed or paraphernalia specifically, police K-9 units are stationed throughout many areas, and in most cases can and will detect marijuana.
Most states consider possession of paraphernalia to be a misdemeanor, but routine offenders or extreme situations can lead to more serious charges or even jail time. In many cases, the severity of the charges will be determined by whichever law enforcement officer catches you with the illegal item. So always, always play it cool, calm, and smart.
The best way to protect yourself, whether traveling or at home, is to keep items clean and stashed away when not in use. Always be aware of the specific state laws for your location before traveling with or purchasing paraphernalia.
What are your local paraphernalia laws and how do you safely travel with your items? Let us know on social media or leave a comment in the section below.

Until the 1970s the dominant understanding of Canadian history was limited to that of the progress and development of an Anglo-Saxon, and to a smaller degree, French majority, which presupposed a history of successful conquest of the so-called "virgin lands" of the British and French empires. For a long time, the ideas of "progress" and "success" (of Anglo-Saxons and the French) served all major metaphors and concepts in scholarly, popular, and ideological reflections on the "building" and development of Canada as a state and nation. Two majorities – Anglo-Saxon and French – positioned themselves as the two principal Canadian nations. In the 1970s Canada reoriented itself towards a new course in its self-understanding as a nation, that is, by inventing a policy of multiculturalism.
