What the Season Brings.. Hope or Dispair 'What has happened here.. |
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), which is non sectarian and non partisan, is the largest Arab-American civil rights organization in the United States. It was founded in 1980, by former Senator James Abourezk to protect the civil rights of people of Arab descent in the United States and to promote the cultural heritage of the Arabs. ADC has 38 chapters nationwide, including chapters in every major city in the country, and members in all 50 states.
The ADC Research Institute (ADC-RI), which was founded in 1981, is a section 501(c)(3) educational organization that sponsors a wide range of programs on behalf of Arab Americans and of importance to all Americans. ADC-RI programs include research studies, seminars, conferences and publications that document and analyze the discrimination faced by Arab Americans in the workplace, schools, media, and governmental agencies and institutions. ADC-RI also celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the Arabs.

Looking at Water Use Qld Style & some Solution
Current mood: determined
There is not much mentioned on the open search of web site of
this once thriving business which employed up to 300 pickers and
80 plus shed hands up until 2005, when Citrus Canker Overwhelmed
the industry in the Emerald District.
Not to be beat, the Son of John Pressler, founder and owner of the
biggest private owned Citrus Cropping, Craig is in charge of
Replanting.
I had not heard anything of the family, in the Media, or my gossip
connections [networking] and precious little on the internet.
They had been fair to middling employers, but nothing to complain
about, now I am not aching all over and sure have put on the
weight these past seven years, but so has Craig, going by his
his photo in the Rural Weekly, part of a multi-million dollar worth of
newsprint....no picture added.
Previous entry, below has couple of buildings used as dwellings.
No mention of Duaringa Shire Council Approval of the Change in Use.
What happens when we become part of "Emerald Regionald Council"
or will it be called, "Central Hightlands of Qld Council"
that is it from Aussiepod or Elidaaussie as I am listed...

I did not check the date I last was here, no mail or messages
to keep me involved, & I had to check my trusted pc memory
for the title.. of my confounded web blog name, although I can
remember my name & password no trouble.. I think I can remember
my enviroment web blog name, and it has been how long??
There has been a 2.2 per cent increase in annual greenhouse gas emissions recorded in 2005 compared with emissions recorded in 1990. This is down on 2004 which had an increase of 2.5 per cent compared to 1990. The country has yet to turn the tide of increasing emissions but at least it is headed in the right direction.
I have been informed by blog city that there is to be no more free blogs.

...."he got the chance to write for the likes of Edith Piaf ("Les Grognards"),
"Amazon
The voice of Edith Piaf carries with it perhaps more national identity than that of any other recorded artist in the world. Tiny, frail, and tragic in her life, Piaf brought French identity to the rest of the world in a way that was understandable to all. Known as "the Little Sparrow" in her country, her voice was strong, bold, and passionate, even as she grew more infirm. The archetypical torch singer, she had massive popular success with songs like "Milord," "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," and "La Vie, L'Amour," included here with 18 other classics. While this is a great compilation of some of her best material, the complete lack of enclosed notes or biographical material may frustrate those not familiar with her fascinating career. However, the work of one of the most original songbirds of all time speaks loud and clear for itself. --Derek Rath"
I am sure the voice has an 'Ertha Kitt' ring to it, or similar sound..Thanksto my friend Sylvia on MySpace I have the honour to know of this great writer, after his recent death at 88years.
"Nicknamed “the Pope of French song," Pierre Delanoé was responsible for some of the most poetically accomplished lyrics in French popular music, and was able to maintain a decades-long career by adapting to the tastes of each succeeding generation. Born in 1918 and initially making his living as a lawyer, Delanoé's songwriting career effectively began in 1948, when he penned "Y'a Un Pli Au Tapis du Salon" and met singer/composer Gilbert Bécaud, who would soon become a giant of French pop and Delanoé's frequent writing partner. Their first success together came with 1953's "Mes Mains," and their collaboration produced numerous other classic hits, including "Le Jour Oú La Pluie Viendra," "Je T'appartiens" (a hit in English-speaking countries as "Let It Be Me"), "La Solitude, Ça N'existe Pas," and many more. Concurrently, he served as program director for the Europe 1 radio station from 1955-1960, which proved a springboard to further collaborations; he got the chance to write for the likes of Edith Piaf ("Les Grognards"), Yves Montand ("Cartes Postales"), and Andre Archstone (the Hubert Giraud co-write "Dors Mon Amour," which won the Eurovision song contest in 1958).
Delanoé continued to write hits with Bécaud during the early ‘60s, including 1964's "Nathalie" and the following year's "L'Orange." Delanoé next worked with Hugues Aufray in translating selected portions of Bob Dylan's repertoire into French, and struck up a productive new partnership with Michel Fugain, which produced "Je N'aurai Pas Le Temps" in 1967 (among several other hits). Delanoé also wrote hits for female artists like Petula Clark, Nicoletta, Dalida, Sylvie Vartan, and Nana Mouskouri. Beginning in 1971, he found his greatest success in quite some time in tandem with singer/composer Michel Sardou; over the next decade, they wrote a string of hits including "Les Vieux Mariés," "Les Villes de Solitude," "Les Lacs du Connemara," and "Les Deux Écoles," among others. Delanoé served three two-year terms as head of the French songwriters' trade organization SACEM (1984-86, 1988-90, 1992-94), and was eventually recognized as its honorary president, thanks to a list of credits that included an estimated 4000 songs over an incredible 50-plus-year career.

Raw emotion is on display in Australian Story this week when officers investigating the disappearance of teenager Daniel Morcombe reveal how the case has affected them and their determination to solve it.

the disappearance of teenager Daniel Morcombe
Back in December Seven 2003 this 14year old went missing
never to be seen again, whilst waiting at a Bus Stop..
Looking back over the years, young women [some not so young]
go missing, and not so much fuss is made, nor suspicion of
murder, as is in this case. I had posted the story on blog-city with
my physic comment.. the captain thought little of my posting, stiff to
him, but I have deleted it and some link blogs and linked the
official missing site instead of my opinions...Blah,..blah
Currently reading: Research In Psychology: Methods and Design By: C. James Goodwin |
Experimental psychology
I did not choose the subject, it chose me,
Popped up when Aim to write a poem,
If that is at all possible, gee
Not that music is't a better choice, O'em,
'Twas to be something about the jolly season,
Contrasts in ways of life, countries & dwelling
So close to the edge, and far out of reason
Pushing & a Shoving, Snatching what bargan Selling.
Could we be less like Martha and more a Mary,
Sit at the Lords feet, and heed what HE is Telling,
Onward Christian Soldiers, Mercy little farie,
Love emitting, more as Child than of Bishop Pelling!
