 http://www.kabansstorejpan.com/ | | As we mark the 50th anniversary of ‘s landmark “I?Have A Dream” speech, our nation has renewed its attention to King’s work spearheading the Civil Rights movement. The Bus?Boycotts, the March on Washington,?????, King’s advocacy of nonviolence, and of course the legislation of?1964 and 1965 all carve his name deeply in the turbulent surface of the sixties. Like the best of leaders,????? ?????,?King pointed to what was right, and what had been confusing and uncertain suddenly became obvious.But another part of his legacy is now needed,??????/???????????, more than all the laudatory words currently being honed for the?upcoming public occasion–and that is his outstanding leadership skill. Perhaps even more than President Lincoln and his?famous team of rivals, King had to lead a movement that often seemed set against itself. His lieutenants?disagreed, sometimes wanting to go further,?????, sometimes wanting to pull back. Some of them were jealous?of his notoriety, some simply envied his remarkable voice. Often forgotten is that the organizers of the?March on Washington itself had striking disagreements about what the march was actually about, and it?took King’s talent to bring the group together around specific goals.What King achieved is a testimony to what are now called “entrepreneurial skills,” the type?that today might rocket him to the corner office of some Fortune 500 company (a path that he would have?flatly rejected).First of course, he saw a goal,???????, and refused to stray from the path that would lead him there. Watching the footage?of his Gage Park Chicago march,???? ???, the question is: Where did this unalterable, unbending will to succeed?come from? He had a visionary’s gift for?scenting out the right direction and turning the whole group towards it, blending vision with action in an?inspirational,??????????, seamless garment for supporters to emulate. If he could do it in Alabama, they could do it?anywhere.Second, his leadership was always about reconciliation. He never ceased to see the better side in those?who disagreed with him. He never saw opponents as “the other,” in today??s psycho-speak. He opposed?force with love. “Just keep loving them, and they can’t stand it for too long,” . Just as he did by publicly forgiving?Izola Curry, the woman who stabbed him with a letter-opener in 1958. What a way to run a company or a non-profit that would be, let alone a country.Unlike today, political?power was not the end goal for King–it was a means of bringing people together in love. Love: a word so missing?from today??s politics it seems strange even to mention it.Third, he was an organizer. Look at the old photos of King strategizing with his team. He’s down on the?ground with them, deeply engaged in their struggles. Today, we have been pumped so full of the idea that?meaning only happens at the head table that our organizations have lost that sort of strong organizing ability.Those are just three short lessons,?????. There are many?more,????? ??.Resolving any challenge entails not concentrating on the?problem itself, but rather focusing on transforming the relationships that hold the problem in place. The country is crying out for that kind of relational, transformational leadership–especially on Capitol Hill.?But also elsewhere, in every company and agency and community in America. On that hot August day,?King wasn’t only a man with a speech. He created the conditions of vision?and effectiveness that made that wonderful moment in 1963 a remarkable reality.Mark Farr is the incoming president of the International Institute for Sustained Dialogue,???, based in?Washington, DC.Related_articles:

http://www.kabansstorejpan.com/ | | By virtually any standard, a nearly 23-fold return on an investment in a year is really good. It’s so good, in fact, that it’s almost unbelievable. But in Mississippi that’s exactly what legislators got.When appropriators there gave the state’s tax-collection agency an extra $3.5 million in funding for the fiscal year that ended in June,?????, they asked that the agency aim to collect $10 million more in back taxes than it had the year before. The agency, the Mississippi Department of Revenue, said it would try and ultimately achieved the goal. Eight times. The state collected $190.3 million?in back taxes last fiscal year, an $80.9 million increase over the year before,???????(Ralph Lauren), playing a role in what turned out to be a surprisingly large overall haul.“We had a little over 5 percent growth in tax revenues [last fiscal year]. We had anticipated about a half-a-percent,” said Herb Frierson, the Republican chairman of the state House Appropriations committee. “We upped that twice during the year, but we still way exceeded our highest expectation.”The $3.5 million in extra funding, which went to paying for 44 new auditors and collection agents, wasn’t the only driver of revenue growth,???????, Frierson said. An improved state economy and the ??the selling of assets late last year in anticipation of higher federal tax rates this year??played key roles. But the ability to better collect back taxes certainly helped.Securing the $3.5 million in extra funding wasn’t easy, though, Frierson said.“It was just a hard sell among the leadership,” he said. Eventually, though, he and his Senate counterpart were able to get other legislators on board.Some of the extra $80.9 million will go to cities and towns where sales taxes were collected,?????, but much of it will go into Mississippi’s general fund, which has suffered from a weak recovery.Earlier this year, the resource group the National Conference of State Legislatures reported that only half the states to end the 2013 fiscal year with at least as much revenue as they hauled in FY2008, “while many others do not expect a return for at least three years or longer.” And, even then,nikon, those estimates don’t take into account inflation, spending growth, population increases and tax changes.State revenues rose in the first quarter of this year, according to from The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government at the State University of New York. But that same report also noted that “the revenue recovery remains weak by historical standards,????????, and service demands are far higher than they were five years ago.”Mississippi offers just one example of the low-cost ways cash-strapped states can replenish general funds, says Michael Mazerov,??? ?????, a senior fellow with the Center on Budget and Policy Priority’s State Fiscal Project.??There??s just no question that the tax gap is so big that making some small investments has a very good rate of return,?????,?? he said.And audits, in particular, are effective. The Internal Revenue Service’s limited,???, focused exams of federal tax filings??known as correspondence exams??can yield a $7 return for every dollar spent,???, the Government Accountability Office found in . Even more complex face-to-face investigations yielded a return of $1.8 for every dollar spent.Related_articles:

http://www.tokeiwatchesja.com/ | | : “A year ago, Metro officials estimated the repairs would take about two weeks.”)A train moving in the opposite direction arrived about the same time, so a resigned crowd shuffled toward the only working up escalator at the north end of the platform. A poster on the board walling off the unavailable escalator, which was supposed to have been fixed this spring, advised, “Slow ride, take it easy.” A poster at the top, acknowledging the missed deadline,????? ???, shrugged: “time keeps on slippin’.” Who in Metro marketing thought these would make us feel better? That evening, after a meeting on Capitol Hill, I found myself on a sweltering, frighteningly dark Red Line platform at Union Station. The power was out. I waited 15 minutes for a train.“Pepco,???,” Sarles explained, when I began describing the previous evening’s experience.Okay, Pepco happens. But why was there no Metro employee advising people at street level not to descend into the rancid darkness until a train was close?Sarles acknowledged that employee interaction with riders, especially during crises, still needs work. “If I had my druthers,SKAGEN,” he said, he would hire station managers based on “the ability to operate in a customer-friendly way.”But, Sarles said, Metro’s collective bargaining agreement requires him to promote bus drivers to train operators and station managers. In fact,???, his spokesman said,?????, mediocre bus drivers may get promoted more quickly because “we need to get you from behind the wheel.” And if someone does a great job as station manager, “I can’t recognize that financially,DONCLARK,” Sarles said. Good employees can be rewarded with lunches with the boss — him — or saluted at board meetings.Could the agreement be changed to allow for merit pay? Sarles said any disagreement with the union goes to binding arbitration. Arbitrators “tend to sweep away any non-economic issues . . . That’s the deal you’re dealt, you have to work around it.” Metro’s deal also includes three inescapable truths, Sarles said: A system that was spanking new in 1976 is showing its age. Ridership has soared 48 percent since 1997, adding to the wear and tear. And in the decade before 2011, , Sarles said the system did not invest sufficiently in maintenance and renovation.Thus the hated weekend work, which will persist at least into 2017.Everyone would be happier if Metro did repairs only during what Sarles called “non-revenue hours.” But, he said, it takes workers 90 minutes to set up and 90 minutes to dismantle, so overnight work achieves at best 64 percent productivity. Working through the weekend, the system can achieve 84 percent productivity and get more bang for its buck. The conversation was turning out to be less fulfilling than in the angry anticipation. Sarles seemed nice, dedicated and on top of his job. He rides Metro every weekday and at least once on weekends. He has to answer to innumerable jurisdictions and constituencies. At Farragut North, unexpected structural challenges slowed progress, he explained, as did the need to suspend work to handle overflow crowds while Dupont Circle’s escalators were out of service. Listening to him lay out the challenges, it was hard not to sympathize. And the system does work well most of the time . . .Fortunately,???????, before I could be totally co-opted,???, Sarles managed to set my blood simmering again. After citing improvements in Metro’s “safety culture” and signage, he bragged that on-time “reliability” has improved from below 90 percent to 91.5 percent, at times hitting even 94 percent.Really? Why doesn’t it feel that way? Well,??????/???????????, his spokesman explained, reliability is defined with a 50 percent “buffer.” If trains are supposed to be running every 12 minutes,????????, and yours comes at 17:59, Metro considers that a success. Slow ride, take it easy. Read more from , or .Related_articles:

il 07/09/2013 @ 02:58 | | — actual date Aug. 28,???????, 1963 — seems to have pushed the malevolence of the era into the background. The blood-soaked civil rights movement has been reduced largely to boycotts, marches and speeches.But make no mistake about it: The gathering in Washington 50 years ago wasn’t just about one man’s dream.Not surprisingly, we mark the red-letter dates in civil rights history pretty much the way it is taught in our public schools. It is filled with myths and omissions. Rosa Parks becomes the “mother of the civil rights movement” for refusing to give up her seat on a bus in December 1955. Or was it Mamie Mobley who gave birth?Mobley was the mother of Emmett Louis Till. Her decision to have an open-casket funeral for the 14-year-old boy — his face grotesque from a lynching in Money, Miss., in 1955 — steeled the spine of black America and really got people moving.A question not likely to be asked in school: Is it just a coincidence that the March on Washington was held Aug. 28 — the same date of Till&rsquo,????? (Burberry);s murder?“We can use moments like the March on Washington to look at the people’s history that’s been left out of the textbooks,” said Deborah Menkart,???????, executive director of Teaching for Change. The Washington-based organization provides parents and teachers with tools for learning about everyday heroes in the struggle for justice.Among the materials it offers is an about the 1963 March on Washington. (Go to civilrightsteaching.org/march-on-washington-mythbusters-quiz to learn more about that consequential date, Aug. 28.)There’s also a that helps students put the violence of the era in perspective by taking on the roles of unsung martyrs. “Murder Mystery: Shining a Light on the Story That the Newspapers Left Out” deals with one of the most significant though underreported events of the civil rights movement — the slaying of Mississippi voting rights activist Herbert Lee in 1961 and the subsequent murder of a witness,nikon, Louis Allen. The study begins with a quote from Robert Moses, a voting rights organizer with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and a friend of Lee’s. (Moses is the founder of a national math literacy program called the .)“I remember reading very bitterly in the papers the next morning, a little short article on the front page of the McComb Enterprise Journal, that said: ‘the Negro had been shot in self-defense as he was trying to attack E.H. Hurst,’?” Moses writes. “That was it. . . . Our first job was to try to track down those people who had been at the shooting,D?G, who had seen the whole incident.”In piecing together what happened to Lee, students — and parents — learn about the ways that violence was used to intimidate and strategies that were devised to continue voter registration drives despite the risk of death. “Learning about the courage shown by civil rights activists is inspirational, and knowing how they were able to organize is empowering,???,” Menkart said. “Students come away with a much better understanding of the role they can play in carrying on the fight for justice,????? ?????.”On Wednesday, President Obama will deliver a speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of the march. He will be joined by past presidents as well as Hollywood stars such as Oprah Winfrey and Forrest Whitaker. I hope their presence will help bring much deserved attention to the event.Missing from the spotlight,????????, however, will be the legions of who never received the recognition they deserved. Most are no longer among us. But many still are. Until we know more about them,???????, we’ll never know what the march was really all about.To read previous columns,??????, go to .Related_articles:
