Tales of the Buffalo Soldiers

Legendary Black Lawmen And Tales Of The Buffalo Soldiers

Herbert E. Brown is pleased to announce that his latest book is scheduled to be released on Oct 1st. Brown's new work is a collection of twelve Western stories, about the Legendary Buffalo Soldiers.

Washington, DC, USA (ePressReleases.org) Sep 27, 2010 - Southside Virginia based author, Herbert E. Brown's latest book is scheduled to be released on October 1st. Brown's new work is a collection of twelve Western stories, all featuring the kind of courageous, resourceful, and fiercely determined African-American men who stood behind the lawman's star and wore the uniform of the Buffalo Soldier. Brown spends twelve vivid tales about these multidimensional characters who embody a kind of rare honor that obliges them to freely give their lives in order to protect their homes and communities. However, they simultaneously are constantly forced to grapple with the paradox that is their reality: being black, disrespected, often despised, and discriminated against themselves, but are involved in law enforcement or the U.S. Military.

"Legendary Black Lawmen and Tales of the Buffalo Soldiers" is not only a book that will entertain the readers with its suspenseful and action packed tales, it will also inform them of the many facts concerning the true contributions that African-Americans made to the development and expansion of our nation's West. For example, the large number of all-colored towns - there were once twenty-nine such towns in the Oklahoma territory alone. Moreover, there were all-colored towns in Ohio, Kansas, Colorado, and California too. Brown explores not only the oppressive race relations between African-Americans and whites, but also the complex and very troubling relationship between African-Americans and Native Americans too: as the Buffalo Soldiers were primarily used to fight, suppress, and contain Native Americans who were popularly viewed as an impediment to white national progress.

Availability:

The newly released 'Pimps in the Pulpit' is priced $29.95 and will be available on his Website at: Pimps in the Pulpitand at Amazon.com marketplace.

About The Author:

Herbert E. Brown is a graduate of the Virginia State School at Hampton for the Deaf and Blind. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from the Virginia State College in Petersburg, Virginia, Bachelor's Degree in Social Studies Education and a Master's Degree in Political Science from the Ohio State University.

A Celebration Of Diversity The ICS Admissions Policy

The International Community School (ICS) recognises that each student has multiple strengths and qualities to bring to the community.

United Kingdom (ePressReleases.org) Sep 27, 2010 - As such, it offers an inclusive admissions policy. Admissions inquiries can be made by email and telephone, culminating in an informal interview with members of the admissions team, at which prior school reports, sample pieces of work or portfolios are shared. Where possible, students will also be observed in their current school. Alternatively, they will be encouraged to attend a trial day at ICS. Established in 1979, ICS is an international school in central London with small classes (the average class size is 16). ICS is an inclusive school, which specialises in teaching students of different abilities. At ICS, there is a foundation English for education department, which provides intensive English for students aged 3 to 18 at all levels, all year round.

ICS offers the three IB programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for students aged 3 to 11; the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for students aged 11 to 16; and from September 2010, the IB Diploma Programme for students aged 16 to 19. The three programmes form a coherent sequence of education by promoting the education of the whole person through an emphasis on intellectual, personal, emotional and social growth. In all three programmes, the education of the whole person is manifested through all domains of knowledge, involving the major traditions of learning in languages, humanities, sciences, mathematics and the arts. The English for education department at ICS has developed a foundation programme, which acts as the bridge to full curriculum courses.

Students are able to join at all ages, at all levels of English and at any time of the year. The programme is structured around classroom activities with a language focus. English is taught through maths, sciences, ICT, art, music and humanities, culminating in the full curriculum lessons. The summer school is open to students from beginner to advanced level. Classes have themes such as youth culture, the environment, and life in Britain. ICS puts emphasis on developing students' communication skills and helping them to interact socially and negotiate their needs with other students. This is a full school programme with weekly excursions and sports activities.

The IB curriculum requires study across a broad range of subjects, drawing on content from educational cultures around the world and giving special emphasis to language acquisition and development. ICS is a truly international school London offers. The school can provide homestay accommodation for 11 to 17-year-olds, or younger children if accompanied by an adult. A door-to-door minibus is also available, which serves central London.

Christmas Gift Vouchers

Festive Experiences Take Place Of Material Things

Now that temperatures are dropping, summer days are fading to sweet memories and we are packing swimwear and summer clothes away for next year, autumn is clearly in the crisp air.

United Kingdom (ePressReleases.org) Sep 27, 2010 - That means that Christmas is right around the corner. And we all know how busy things suddenly get during that wonderful yet crazy time of year. There are always parties, special gatherings, get-togethers with family and friends, and about a million other things to do. Although we can't change the fact that the festive season is a crazy time of year, we can get a little organised now and plan ahead so we can relax and enjoy all the celebrations when they arrive.

The festive season is a time of celebration, love and giving. It is a time to give thanks for all our blessings and to remind the special people in our lives how much they mean to us. The inevitable question is: what do I get everyone? And then again, don't we all have too much stuff? Most of us live in flats so tiny they barely hold the things we already have. Maybe that is part of the reason for a new trend. Instead of giving things, you can give your loved ones amazing experiences.

For a special couple on your list, the Husky Riding Experience is a fun and festive ride through the beautiful countryside and an opportunity to watch the magnificent dogs that make it possible. The couple will be welcomed with a warm drink, then meet the instructor and the dogs. They will learn the basics of how to use a harness and a little about the history of huskies. Then, the real fun begins, and they will be able to sit back and relax as the dogs take them for an incredible forty-minute to one-hour ride through the stunning Ashford countryside. After the ride, the huskies are watered and put away as the couple enjoys some tasty refreshments.

Experience Days offers everything from cooking classes to flying lessons. The Husky Riding Experience is just one of many options, and if it is too hard to decide, Christmas gift vouchers are available for any price and allow the recipient to choose. Experience Days offers amazing experiences for every taste.

Thermal Transfer Labels

Labelling Products Help Businesses Stay Organised

Every successful businessperson knows how important it is to stay organised.

United Kingdom (ePressReleases.org) Sep 27, 2010 - When things are not organised, they can go missing. It is so easy to confuse one white folder for another, or one manila envelope for something else. The problem is that such things sometimes contain extremely important documents. An unorganised business will never reach its potential until things are in order. Another key component to a successful business is name recognition. The more clients see your name or your company's name, the more they will be likely to remember it, feel comfortable with it and want to do business with you again.

Labelling the products you sell and everything you give your clients with your name or your business's name is one way to establish name recognition. Labelling things in your office with appropriate names will help everyone stay organised and prevent important things from being misplaced. One company is helping businesses and businesspeople stay organised and promote their names - South East Labels has been meeting many industries' label and labelling system needs for the last twenty years. They have plain and printed labels, barcode labels, hot foil labels, label software, label printers and every labelling product you could imagine.

South East Labels offers a wide selection of thermal transfer labels in more than four hundred label sizes. Their thermal direct paper is made of a heat sensitive material, which means that heat and light will cause darkening. Thermal transfer paper is appropriate for the labelling of food, drink and household products. It is excellent for barcodes. South East Labels also has a tremendous knowledge and experience of barcodes. They can advise you if you have any questions regarding barcode labelling, a barcode printer, or if you have any concerns regarding barcodes.

Staying organised is one of the keys to success. With the right supplies, your business can stay organised and be successful. Trust South East Labels with all your labelling needs - you owe it to the future of your business to stay organised with the right products.

Driving Experience Days

Tower Bridge Ready To Buzz With Extreme Element

Jump with Extreme Element!

United Kingdom (ePressReleases.org) Sep 27, 2010 - "We are very excited about the bungee jumping event. And this year, we are doubling our efforts by bringing a second crane to jump up to 600 people. This is just the first step for us - next year, we will be attempting to break the record for most people jumped in 24 hours, which is currently set at 502", says Pipa Nogaro, MD at Extreme Element. The bungee takes place in Pottersfield Park, right next to Tower Bridge, and is open to the public from morning till late on 25 and 26 September this year. The bungee jump is part of the 2010 London Rat Race, the urban adventure challenge event that turns cities into high-adrenaline adventure playgrounds for teams to hike, bike, abseil, climb and kayak across the capital city. James Fields, operations manager of UK Bungee Club, is the fearless man challenged with breaking the current record of 19 jumps, set in South Africa in 2003. James said: "I spend my life jumping from cranes in my line of work with UK Bungee, so I am expecting to do around 23 to 25 in 60 minutes and break the record by at least 3 jumps".

To whet your appetite, last year's event had Tower Bridge buzzing with swarms of Extreme Element T-shirt wearers eagerly awaiting their turn to clamber into the crane and jump the capital city's only bungee of the year. The weather was a perfect accomplice, with the sun shining beautifully all weekend and lighting up the stunning scenery and architecture, adding an unbeatable extra to the bungee jump experience. If you would like to be part of the event and watch the daring record attempt, you can check availability and book yourself on a single or a tandem jump. There are just under two weeks to go and only a few slots left, so hurry to get your piece of the action!

Extreme Element is the UK's leading extreme sports specialist, offering more than 800 extreme sports courses and outdoor activity days across the UK and Spain. Whether you are after the perfect Christmas gift ideas, an unforgettable experience with your mates, a corporate day out with a difference, or wanting to try a new sport, look no further. Why not participate in a tandem skydive or take some flying lessons if bungee jumping is not your cup of tea? If you are into fast cars, why not drive a Ferrari for a day with the Supercar Hire option? You can even experience the thrill of the Silverstone circuit. If you can't afford a flashy car in real life, why not let Extreme Element help you pretend for a day? It has so many driving experience days to choose from for that special person in your life, including some superb track day racing gifts!

Preparation For Boarding School

An International Environment In England

Alexanders International School is a member of the SKOLA group of schools.

United Kingdom (ePressReleases.org) Sep 27, 2010 - It has primary and secondary day schools in central London offering the IB curriculum and a variety of English language courses for adults and children.

The 120-acre campus has fully supervised accommodation in four separate residences for boys and girls. The school provides high-quality English language tuition in combination with school subjects to students aged 11 to 17. In 2009, the pass levels for subjects at Alexanders were 100% for Entry Level certificates in sciences, maths, business studies and ICT; and high pass levels for all IGCSE subjects were achieved by students. You will improve your English, build academic knowledge and develop study skills as well as get an introduction to life in the UK. IGCSEs and Cambridge exams can be taken in June and help with school entrance exams. Come in June, July and August for the popular summer school also available.

Boys and girls are all resident on campus in separate boarding houses, each supervised by resident staff. Students share rooms with one, two or three other children of different nationalities where possible. Each bedroom has a wash basin, and on each corridor, there are bathrooms, showers and toilets. A classroom in each house is also set aside for study. There is a simple kitchen in each of the houses where students can prepare a snack during the evening or at weekends.

The school offers English language courses throughout the year, including their Foundation course, which prepares students who wish to enter a UK boarding school. This is a one-year course, but students may join at any time of the year. As Alexanders is independent, it can advise on the most appropriate choice of school and support students in their applications for their chosen schools. The maximum class size is 15, and pupils of all levels - from complete beginners to advanced - are welcome.

Alister Laidlaw, the school head, comments:

"Throughout the 25 years that I have been at Alexanders International School, it has been my great pleasure to have welcomed young people from more than 70 countries," and adds that "for the majority, it was their first experience of life in a foreign country". This allows not only preparation for boarding school but an understanding to be fostered between staff and students, which helps tremendously with the difficulties of coping with learning a language and adapting to cultural differences. Alexanders provides a safe and caring environment to allow each and every student to develop educationally and emotionally.

Happy Marriage Study

Eharmony Launch Biannual Study

Research shows that 70% of married Brits are happy in their marriages. Northerners are least happily married. Participants name communication and compromise as vital for maintaining wedded felicity.

United Kingdom (ePressReleases.org) Sep 25, 2010 - In a move to quash any cynicism surrounding the state of marriage, dating site eharmony.co.uk has launched a new study: the Happy Marriage Index. The results from its first assessment were released this week after six months of careful research involving 1,240 participants. The next set of results is scheduled to be released in December 2010 and biannually from then on.

Interesting disparities have already been revealed in this month's research. Trends show a significant correlation between marital contentment and geographical location. Married Scots are 8% more likely to be happy than the UK average of 70%, meaning that nearly four-fifths claim wedded felicity here. The Midlands come in second with 73% followed by the South East (70%), and Wales and the South West (67%). So if you meet your partner in Brighton dating, you can be encouraged by the chances of going on to have a happy marriage. Those in North England lag behind with 64%, but this still indicates that a significant majority are happily married.

The study also revealed that 16% of those in 4 to 10-year-old marriages were unhappy as opposed to 20% of those in marriages that had lasted over a decade.

An interesting difference in the opinions of men and women was also unearthed, as women gave a more positive outlook. 72% of the questioned women were perfectly content in their marriages, with just 17% confessing to be unhappily married. On the other hand, only 67% of married men said they were happy and over one-fifth claimed the opposite.

In addition to the 993 married participants, 72 widowed, 30 separated and 145 divorced people also took part in the study. eHarmony questioned all parties about the key aspects of marriage and why theirs was a success or a failure. Two-fifths of the participants wished they had known from the beginning that compromise was an essential component of married life, whereas 44% named constant communication as the key they now regret not initially knowing.

45% of divorced or separated participants also recognised the importance of communication within a marriage and wished they had known about this before their wedding day. A further 45% confessed that they would have liked to know about their partner's unpleasant habits before tying the knot.

Dr Gian Gonzaga, Ph.D, is a relationship expert for eHarmony and was keen to bring further light to this study. "Most couples will start off with very happy marriages," he says. "But over time the stress of life can get in the way of maintaining that happiness. Jobs, in-laws, bills, kids... all of these things can eat away at the quality of a marriage. That is why it is so important that spouses stay connected and understand each other. Good communication is critical, and if a couple fosters shared interests, common goals and values, it can help both spouses understand each other better."

eHarmony is renowned for its Compatibility Matching SystemT, which was developed after many years of thorough research calculating the dimensions that commonly result in marital felicity. eHarmony measure compatibility through many aspects: personality, beliefs, attitudes and values are all considered in order to bring together those who will best maintain successful and loving long-term relationships.

Notes to Editors:

The eHarmony Happy Marriage Index is a six monthly study of 1000 married, separated, divorced and widowed people to assess their perceptions of the institution of marriage and relationships. The study was conducted for eHarmony by Omnibus during February 2010. The study was analysed by eHarmony during May 2010. Data was weighted to be nationally representative and there was a 5% risk level of error. The next Index will be published in December 2010.

Contemporary House Signs

Trade Sign Manufacturer Launches Contemporary House Signs

Trade sign manufacturer Sign Industries has launched a new range of contemporary house signs to add to its growing consumer offering.

Gardyne, Angus, Scotland (ePressReleases.org) Sep 14, 2010 - Trade sign manufacturer Sign Industries has launched a new range of contemporary house signs to add to its growing consumer offering.

Sign Industries, a leading UK sign making manufacturer has designed a new range of contemporary house signs to be sold to UK consumers.

The approach Sign Industries has adopted has been market led; researching the market and identifying the most common styles of house signs currently available in the UK. This research soon identified a gap in the market where Sign Industries could use their specialism in working with metal, and create a niche offering by producing a range of high quality contemporary metal house signs.

Managing Director Gordon Norrie commented, "Our back ground and core business to date has been producing metal signs in many shapes and forms for companies overseas and throughout the UK, and also not forgetting the sign trade industry itself. However, given our wealth of experience and expertise in this sector we wanted to identify areas where we could grow our business. Our consumer offering until now has been small and mainly consisted of various memorial plaque designs and general wall plaques, so adding some modern and unique contemporary house signs seemed an obvious route to take. The house signs are made using our signature materials of bronze, brass and stainless steel, which we believe will be a new alternative to the many other similar house sign styles available today, which mainly consist of slate, wood or pottery".

Norrie continued "With all design and manufacturing in-house it is a natural progression for Sign Industries to produce and market specially designed high quality products to the general public alongside our continuing support to our important trade and business customers".

The new range has been initially launched offering 3 distinctive styles which are now available to view online, with Sign Industries continuing to grow this new consumer product line over the coming months.

Sign Industries was formed in 1989 by Gordon and Marjory Norrie. Based at Mains of Gardyne near Forfar, the business has grown into one of the UK's premier trade and retail suppliers of engraved metal and wooden signs. For more information visit http://www.signindustries.com.

CT Business Travel, a member of Uniglobe is a leading UK travel management specialist providing corporate travel services to an impressive range of national and international clients. With a healthy appetite to attract and grow its number of corporate accounts further, CT Business Travel has devised a refreshing approach to securing new custom.

Knowing they deliver outstanding customer service, CT Business Travel has launched a new offer that leverages on this strength, offering clients to use their services with zero minimum contract terms.

It is CT Business Travel's strong belief that their exceptional customer service will keep clients coming back despite no contractual agreement to do so.

Not only do they offer no contractual commitment but clients also receive additional reassurance from CT Business Travel's Service Level Agreements, stating precisely what CT Business Travel will contractually agree to deliver. This offers clients great service, without any contractual requirements.

Typical conditions of a CT Business Travel SLA Agreement are:

. to contractually provide clients with a dedicated member of staff or team to service their account depending on the account size and spend
. an agreed response time within which CT Business Travel has to respond when receiving business trip enquiries
. an out of hours service
. agreed fixed transparent fees
. responsibility to ensure all travellers have the right documents to travel
. tailored and relevant management reporting depending on the account size and spend

The approach to break down the barriers for new clients to come on board completely differentiates CT Business Travel from its competitors, as is the speed in which CT Business Travel can set up an account so clients can start using their services instantly.

CT Business Travel's call centre team is based at the company's head office in Tunbridge Wells servicing companies across the UK. Most accounts are handled from here. However they can provide on-site support to any company that would like to have its own in-house business travel agency, for more information visit ctbusinesstravel.com.

Rugby Tournament

School Trips Specialist Activ4 Launch Youth Rugby Festival

Specialist school trips and sports tours provider Activ4 have added an exciting and new rugby tournament to its 2011 schedule.

Shrewsbury, Shropshire, UK (ePressReleases.org) Sep 06, 2010 - Specialist school trips and sports tours provider Activ4 have added an exciting and new rugby tournament to its 2011 schedule. The TMN Portugal Youth Rugby Festival provides schools and clubs a fantastic opportunity for children to take part in one of the best youth rugby festivals of the year.

The TMN Portugal Youth Rugby Festival is entering its 3rd year and once again takes place at the magnificent national sports centre in Lisbon, on the 16th and 17th April 2011.

What makes this rugby tournament unique is the excellent standard of playing facilities and event organisation. The tournament venue is located in the beautiful area of the Jamor Valley with its excellent grass pitches including the emblematic and historic stadium. The event gives those children attending unforgettable life time experiences both on and off the pitch - rugby matches against international opponents, exciting leisure time activities and great entertainment, all in one of Europe's most exciting cities with its warm climate and white sandy beaches.

2011 is expected to be as successful as pervious events with not only the majority of clubs in Portugal participating, but also clubs from Spain, France, Italy, Holland, Germany, USA and Canada. As last year many school teams and clubs will also travel to Portugal from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

Steve Scott, Managing Director of Activ4 commented: "We know this event is incredibly popular and given its now entering its 3rd year it has been tried and tested and has become very well established. We are delighted to be adding this tournament to our portfolio, as it has 100% synergy with the sports tours we organise and I am confident it will prove to be very appealing to the many UK schools and clubs we work with, who organise out of classroom sports activities and educational travel".

Activ4 are organising several festival packages for the 2011 rugby tournament, which will offer those wishing to attend the option of staying either 3, 4 or 5 nights. Although, should any of the initial options not be suitable, Activ4 can naturally tailor-make and provide quotes for trips bespoke to a team's specific needs.

Some of Activ4's most popular trips are football tours and school ski trips. To enquire specifically about the 2011 Portugal Rugby Festival please call one of Activ4's friendly advisors on 01743 469747.
