I’m watching the Other Black Girl. For my own peace of mind, I have never apologized to any racist in any way shape or form.

Not in Elementary School.

Not in Junior High School.

Not in High School.

Not in the US Army.

Not in College.

Not at Convergys.

Not at Banctec.

Not at Loomis.

Not at Piedmont Protective Services.

Not at Ricoh.

Not at Wells Fargo.

I will directly bring up racism in meetings, on the side, in public, to law enforcement & to niggas. Cause why, “Not today, not the fucking one.” I’m the zero, I’ll bring yo ass to the ground & clean up handsomely.

My existence will not be tarnished or traumatized by humanity. I never liked this world & more than likely never will. For those that don’t fight back or say fuck no; fuck all of y’all & whatever y’all stand for.

Preserving Your Ride: The Benefits of Paint Protection Films in Piedmont

Introduction: In the picturesque region of Piedmont, where scenic drives are abundant and the beauty of the landscape beckons, protecting your vehicle becomes paramount. Whether you navigate the winding roads of the Langhe wine region or cruise through the vibrant streets of Turin, your vehicle's paint is constantly exposed to various hazards. Fortunately, in the realm of automotive preservation, Paint Protection Films (PPF) emerge as a beacon of hope, offering a shield against the elements. Let's delve into why PPF is a necessity for vehicle owners in Piedmont.

Protecting Against the Elements: Piedmont's diverse climate, characterized by hot summers and chilly winters, poses a significant threat to your vehicle's paintwork. UV rays, acid rain, bird droppings, and road debris can wreak havoc on the exterior, leading to unsightly scratches, fading, and corrosion. Paint Protection Films act as a barrier, shielding the paint from these elements and preserving its pristine appearance for years to come. With PPF, you can confidently explore Piedmont's enchanting landscapes without worrying about the toll it takes on your vehicle.

Preserving Aesthetic Appeal: For many vehicle owners in Piedmont, aesthetics are of paramount importance. Whether you own a luxurious sedan, a rugged SUV, or a sporty coupe, maintaining that showroom shine enhances the overall appeal of your vehicle. Paint Protection Films offer a seamless solution, providing a glossy finish that accentuates the car's curves while safeguarding it against scratches and abrasions. With PPF, your vehicle retains its allure, turning heads as you traverse the streets of Piedmont with pride.

Retaining Resale Value: Investing in a vehicle is not just about the joy of ownership; it's also a financial commitment. Protecting your investment is crucial, especially if you plan to sell or trade-in your vehicle in the future. Paint Protection Films play a pivotal role in maintaining your car's resale value by preserving its exterior condition. Potential buyers are more inclined to pay a premium for a vehicle that boasts flawless paintwork, making PPF a wise investment for savvy vehicle owners in Piedmont.

Simplifying Maintenance: While Piedmont offers a myriad of attractions for avid explorers, maintaining your vehicle shouldn't be a daunting task. Traditional waxing and polishing routines can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, often yielding temporary results. Paint Protection Films streamline the maintenance process, requiring minimal upkeep to keep your vehicle looking its best. With PPF, you can bid farewell to frequent visits to the car wash and enjoy more time indulging in the splendors of Piedmont.

Enhancing Longevity: In a region renowned for its rich cultural heritage and timeless charm, longevity is a cherished attribute. The same principle applies to your vehicle, where longevity equates to enduring performance and value. Paint Protection Films extend the lifespan of your car's paintwork, shielding it from premature wear and tear. By investing in PPF, you're not just preserving the appearance of your vehicle; you're ensuring its longevity, allowing you to create lasting memories on Piedmont's roads for years to come.

Conclusion: As vehicle owners in Piedmont embark on journeys filled with scenic vistas and cultural delights, safeguarding their prized possessions becomes imperative. Paint Protection Films emerge as a beacon of protection, offering a shield against the elements while preserving the aesthetic allure of their vehicles. From enhancing resale value to simplifying maintenance, the benefits of PPF are undeniable. In the realm of automotive preservation, embracing PPF is not just a choice; it's a testament to your commitment to preserving the beauty of Piedmont, one drive at a time.

Car-dependent sprawl is not a harmless option

Pedestrian-hostile suburbs aren’t balanced out by the presence of walkable urbanism elsewhere; they’re a problem that should be fixed.

By Darin Givens, 11/27/2022

In Johns Creek, GA you can live a stone's throw from a grocery store that would require a whopping 1.1 mile trek if you wanted to walk to it instead of driving. This is the restrictive zoning that some people want, in order to "protect" single family homes from the scourge of walkable mixed-use urbanism.

Yes, this is the suburbs. But I don’t accept the argument that it’s OK to allow this for the people who want it as an option, versus walkable urban design. Certainly not at the incredible scale that we’ve seen in the past few decades worth of sprawl in the Atlanta metro area and elsewhere. 

Buildable land is a precious resource in the Atlanta region. We aren't making more of it. In fact, to preserve unbuilt ecosystems, we need to stop sprawling into the dwindling forests of the Georgia Piedmont.

To improve health outcomes, we need to create less pollution and boost the safety of active transportation; sprawl is correlated with increased energy use and pollution. To improve equitable outcomes, we need neighborhoods near stores/jobs to be more walkable and more serviceable by transit. To improve services for the public, we need our land-use to capture as much value as possible (sprawl does the opposite).

Here’s the scene you would encounter on foot if you tried to get to the grocery store from the homes above. It’s an inhumane environment for pedestrians that demands access to a personal vehicle for navigating it, and for getting to daily necessities and jobs. Saying “if some people want inhumane spaces, we should support that desire with restrictive zoning laws” is ridiculous. 

Car-centric sprawl is not a neutral, harmless “option” for living. It’s a thing that hinders progress on our health/climate/environmental goals. Local governments should not be providing it in mass quantities through restrictive zoning laws.

Many political conservatives complain about “nanny state” laws, but zoning laws which demand car-centric places while outlawing anything else are about as “nanny” as it gets. The government is enforcing automobile dependency through public laws — and the ‘public’ nature of it makes us all complicit in the harmful outcomes.

SAINT OF THE DAY (May 28)

The Church remembers St. Bernard of Menthon on May 28.

He was born in 923, probably in the Menthon Castle near Annecy, Savoy. He died in 1008 at Novara.

He was a descendant from a rich, noble family and received a thorough education.

He refused to enter an honorable marriage proposed by his father and decided to devote himself instead to the service of the Church.

Placing himself under the direction of Peter, Archdeacon of Aosta, under whose guidance he rapidly progressed, Bernard was ordained priest.

On account of his learning and virtue, he was made Archdeacon of Aosta in 966, having charge of the government of the diocese under the bishop.

Seeing the ignorance and idolatry still prevailing among the people of the Alps, he resolved to devote himself to their conversion.

For 42 years, he continued to preach the Gospel to these people and carried the light of faith even into many cantons of Lombardy, effecting numerous conversions and working many miracles.

For another reason, however, Bernard's name will forever be famous in history.

Since the most ancient times, there was a path across the Pennine Alps leading from the valley of Aosta to the Swiss canton of Valais, over what is now the pass of the Great St. Bernard.

This pass is covered with perpetual snow from seven to eight feet deep, and drifts sometimes accumulate to the height of forty feet.

Though the pass was extremely dangerous, especially in the springtime on account of avalanches, it was often used by French and German pilgrims on their way to Rome.

For the convenience and protection of travelers, St. Bernard founded a monastery and hospice at the highest point of the pass, 8,000 feet above sea-level in the year 962.

A few years later, he established another hospice on the Little St. Bernard, a mountain of the Graian Alps, 7,076 feet above sea-level.

Both were placed in charge of Augustinian monks after pontifical approval had been obtained by him during a visit to Rome.

These hospices are renowned for the generous hospitality extended to all travelers over the Great and Little St. Bernard, so called in honor of the founder of these charitable institutions.

At all seasons of the year, but especially during heavy snow-storms, the heroic monks accompanied by their well-trained dogs, go out in search of victims who may have succumbed to the severity of the weather.

They offer food, clothing and shelter to the unfortunate travelers and take care of the dead.

They depend on gifts and collections for sustenance.

The majority of these men live at the hospice while some have charge of neighboring parishes.

The last act of St. Bernard's life was the reconciliation of two noblemen whose strife threatened a fatal issue.

He was interred in the cloister of St. Lawrence. Venerated as a saint from the 12th century in many places of Piedmont (Aosta, Novara and Brescia), he was canonized in 1681 by Pope Innocent XI.

He gave his name to the Saint Bernard breed of dogs, originally bred for the cold environment of the hospice.

The Atlanta Life Financial Group was founded on September 21, 1905, by Alonzo Herndon in Atlanta. Born into slavery, he started in Atlanta as a young barber, owning three shops. He became Atlanta’s richest African American and a highly successful businessman. For many years, the life insurance company was one of the most prominent African-American businesses in the US. The demolished public housing project Herndon Homes was named for Herndon.

In 1905 he purchased The Atlanta Benevolent and Protective Association (later called Atlanta Mutual) for $140, depositing $5000 with the state under their requirement for a kind of guarantee fund. In 1922 this was renamed the Atlanta Life Insurance Company. Herndon expanded the company with branches in numerous other Southern states.

The Atlanta Life Insurance Company building (built 1920) at 148 Auburn Avenue, near the corner of Piedmont Avenue, is part of the National Park Service’s Martin Luther King, Jr., Preservation District. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Reflections and Forecasts for 2024

It’s been a while since I’ve been prompted to share on this channel, and I’m happy to return momentarily to share news from the shamanic trenches.

Since closing the brick and mortar retail outlet on trade street, Kindred Spirits has continued to evolve, giving the hoop access to more protected experiences, connections, and opportunities. Our active ministry is thriving and we are joyous to support an ever growing network of those who seek the healing we provide. I am still offering my services as a shaman, herbalist, and educator in the local Piedmont Triad area.

Personally I continue to work within my lineage to support the documentation of our lengthy oral tradition. I was recently inspired on my journey by the discovery of the location of a historic newspaper photograph of my Babcia (grandmother) upon her arrival to the United States in 1947. I excitedly await the arrival of the photograph and what other memories might be unearthed by its discovery.

I have been listening carefully to the messages being transmitted amongst the hoop and within healing sessions and note the newly refreshed call of the spirit towards prophecy from the people. The witnessing of humanity to the spiritual world is becoming easier to allow ourselves, and thus it becomes simpler to achieve connection and collaboration. It is certainly a time to renew your altar spaces, offerings, and quiet connections to the messages you receive personally and those coming through larger collective communications.

There is much activity in the animal realm, with messages coming through quickly and timely as indicators of what energy is afoot. While much integration and renewal is in the forecast, there is also a felt presence of the haunting of past misdeeds that are being excised from various corners of our planet. Perhaps you’ll be witness to the experience within your own pocket of reality.

It’s more a time of the process of shedding, unpacking, and re-imagining than it is a time of obsessively protecting and selecting.

We should be looking to the stars for answers and less to a horoscope for interpretation of events. The sky itself has messages for us all, and we are being directed and encouraged to LOOK UP and receive the blessings that come with the awareness cultivated in doing so.

Messages from Spirit are focused on the highly personalized experience of healing. Don’t expect to experience the collective energy so intensely as the year unfolds. We all regain our individualism as the year unfolds and fate pops in to remind us of where we have been and what has been accomplished.

It is a time for visions and journeys. Quiet solitude will yield great profits to the spirit and personal goals, efforts, and plans. Make sure your to clear your dreamcatchers, medicine bags, and divination tools so you can get the most of your sleep and personal spiritual inquires.

Readers and healers of all kinds should be relieved to hear that our work will become easier and we will be found at the right moments by the right people to help us in our journey of life. It’s a time for the surrender to divine trust as a grounding ritual of daily life.

Roofers in Montgomery County PA Can Improve the Look and Value of Your Home

Roofers in Montgomery county PA, are a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in improving the look and value of their home. They are trained to recognize issues and make repairs as needed, and they can also help to prevent future problems from occurring. If you are considering hiring one of these professionals, it is important to do your research before selecting a company. There are several factors to consider, including experience and price.

Montgomery County, Pennsylvania is a county in southeastern Pennsylvania, northwest of Philadelphia. It is a gently hilly piedmont region bounded by the Schuylkill River and other waterways, including Green Lane Reservoir. Its population was 826,518 in the 2020 census.

Its affluent residents enjoy a diverse economy and high quality of life. In addition to its thriving business sector, it is home to many of the nation’s best public and private schools. It is also known for its extensive system of parks and green spaces, and it features dozens of supermarkets and hundreds of cafes and restaurants.

In the nineteenth century, Montgomery County was an active region of family farms and small industries. Turnpikes, canals, and railroads crisscrossed the area, connecting it to Philadelphia and other parts of the state. Early European settlers worked modest-size farms and owned some African-descended slaves, though many Quaker, Mennonite, and Schwenkfelder landowners opposed slavery.

Upgrading the roof of your house is a big investment. It is also an important element of your home’s protection and energy efficiency. In fact, a new roof will often save homeowners money in the long run, as it can significantly reduce energy costs. It is also an excellent way to increase the resale value of your home.

If you are in the market for a new roof, it’s best to find a local roofing contractor that has years of experience. This will ensure that the job is done right the first time and you don’t end up with costly repairs later on. Also, a local roofing contractor will know the weather conditions in your area better than someone from out of town.

There are various types of quality roofing available in the market, including asphalt shingles, copper, slate, and wood. Each type of roofing has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. However, it is essential to have a reliable roof over your head to protect you and your loved ones from harmful elements like rain.

While most homeowners will need a roofer for some repairs at some point, it is important to do routine maintenance to ensure that your roof stays in good condition. You can also hire a local roofer to do a thorough inspection of your roof before deciding on any repairs or replacements. These experts can provide you with a range of services, including roof repair, gutter installation and siding repairs. Moreover, they can help you with the entire process of choosing the right roofing materials for your property. You can also get an estimate for your project, which will save you time and money.

At Spring Valley Roofing, we take roof inspections seriously. Before our team begins any roof service or repair job, our exclusive West Chester roofing contractor makes sure to perform a thorough inspection. Inspecting a roof before beginning any service is an important step of the process, as it can provide vital information about the condition of a roof, including its age, materials used, and any existing damage or problems.

• Amedeo Guillet

Amedeo Guillet was an officer of the Italian Army, he was one of the last men to have commanded cavalry in war. He was nicknamed Devil Commander, and was famous during the Italian guerrilla war in Ethiopia in 1941, 1942 and 1943.

Guillet was born in Piacenza, Italy on February 7th, 1909. Descended from a noble family from Piedmont and Capua. His parents were Franca Gandolfo and Baron Alfredo Guillet, a colonel in the Royal Carabinieri. Following his family tradition of military service, he enrolled in the Academy of Infantry and Cavalry of Modena at the age of 18, thus beginning his career in the Royal Italian army. He served in the Second Italo-Ethiopian War that prevented him from competing in equestrian events in the 1936 Summer Olympics Berlin Olympics. Guillet was wounded and decorated for bravery as commander of an indigenous cavalry unit. Guillet next fought in the Spanish Civil War serving with the 2nd CCNN Division "Fiamme Nere" at the Battle of Santander and the Battle of Teruel.

In the buildup to World War II, Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta gave Guillet command of the 2,500 strong Gruppo Bande Amhara, made up of recruits from throughout Italian East Africa, with six European officers and Eritrean NCOs. The core was cavalry, but the force also included camel corps and mainly Yemeni infantry. For Guillet to be given command of such a force while still only a lieutenant was a singular honour. In 1940, he was tasked to form a "Gruppo Bande a Cavallo". The "Bande a Cavallo" were native units commanded by Italian officers. Amedeo Guillet succeeded in recruiting thousands of Eritreans. His "Band", already named in the history books as "Gruppo Bande Guillet" or "Gruppo Bande Amahara a Cavallo", was distinguished for its absolute "fair play" with the local populations. Amedeo Guillet could boast of having never been betrayed, despite the fact that 5,000 Eritreans knew perfectly well who he was and where he lived. It was during this time, in the horn of Africa that the legend of a group of Eritreans with excellent fighting qualities, commanded by a notorious "Devil Commander", was born.

Guillet's most important battle happened towards the end of January 1941 at Cherù when he attacked enemy armoured units. At the end of 1940, the Allied forces faced Guillet on the road to Amba Alagi, and specifically, in the proximity of Cherù. He had been entrusted, by Amedeo Duca d'Aosta, with the task of delaying the Allied advance from the North-West. The battles and skirmishes in which this young lieutenant was a protagonist (Guillet commanded an entire brigade, notwithstanding his low rank) are highlighted in the British bulletins of war. The "devilries" that he created from day to day, almost seen as a game, explains why the British called him not only "Knight from other times" but also the Italian "Lawrence of Arabia". Horse charges with unsheathed sword, guns, incendiary and grenades against the armoured troops had a daily cadence. Official documents show that in January 1941 at Cherù "... with the task of protecting the withdrawal of the battalions... with skillful maneuver and intuition of a commander... In an entire day of furious combats on foot and horseback, he charged many times while leading his units, assaulting the preponderant adversary (in number and means) soldiers of an enemy regiment, setting tanks on fire, reaching the flank of the enemy's artilleries... although huge losses of men,... Capt. Guillet,... in a particularly difficult moment of this hard fight, guided with disregard of danger, an attack against enemy tanks with hand bombs and benzine bottles setting two on fire while a third managed to escape while in flames."

In those months many proud Italians died, including many brave Eritreans who fought without fear for a king and a people who they never saw or knew. To the end of his life, the "Devil Commander" used words of deep respect and admiration for that proud population to whom he felt indebted as a soldier, Italian, and man. He never failed to repeat that "the Eritreans are the Prussians of Africa without the defects of the Prussians". His actions served their intended purpose and saved the lives of thousands of Italians and Eritreans who withdrew in the territory better known as the Amba Alagi. At dawn, Gulliet charged against steel weapons with only swords, guns and hand bombs at a column of tanks. He passed unhurt through the British forces who were caught unaware. This action was the last cavalry charge that British forces ever faced, but it was not the final cavalry charge in Italian military history. A little more than a year later a friend of Guillet, Colonel Bettoni, launched the men and horses of the "Savoia Cavalry" against Soviet troops at Isbuchenskij. Guillet's Eritrean troops paid a high price in terms of human losses, approximately 800 died in little more than two years and, in March 1941, his forces found themselves stranded outside the Italian lines. Guillet, faithful until death to the oath to the House of Savoy, began a private war against the British. Hiding his uniform near an Italian farm, he set the region on fire at night for almost eight months. He was one of the most famous Italian "guerrilla officers" in Eritrea and northern Ethiopia during the Italian guerrilla war against the Allies occupation of the Italian East Africa.

Later in early 1942, for security reasons he changed his name in Ahmed Abdallah Al Redai, studied the Koran and looked like an authentic Arab: so when British soldiers came to capture him, he fooled them with his new identity and escaped on two occasions. After numerous adventures, including working as a water seller, Guillet was finally able to reach Yemen, where for about one year he trained soldiers and cavalrymen for the Imam's army, whose son Ahmed became a close friend. Despite the opposition of the Yemenite royal house, he succeeded in embarking incognito on a Red Cross ship repatriating sick and injured Italians and finally returned to Italy a few days before the armistice in September 1943. As soon as Guillet reached Italy he asked for Gold sovereigns, men and weapons to aid Eritrean forces. The aid would be delivered by aeroplane and enable a guerrilla campaign to be staged. But with Italy's surrender, then later joining the Allies, times had changed. Guilet was promoted to Major for his war accomplishments and worked with Major Max Harari of the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars who was the commander of the British special unit services that tried to capture Guillet in Italian East Africa. At the end of the war, the Italian monarchy was abolished. Guillet expressed a deep desire to leave Italy. He informed Umberto II of his intentions, but the King urged him to keep serving his country, whatever form its government might take. Concluding that he could not disobey his King's command, Guillet expressed his desire to teach anthropology at university.

Following the war, Guillet entered the Italian diplomatic service where he represented Italy in Egypt, Yemen, Jordan, Morocco, and finally as ambassador to India until 1975. In 1971, he was in Morocco during an assassination attempt on the King. On June 20, 2000, he was awarded honorary citizenship by the city of Capua, which he defined as "highly coveted". On 4 November 2000, the day of the Festivity of the Armed Forces, Guillet was presented with the Knight Grand Cross of the Military Order of Italy by President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. This is the highest military decoration in Italy. Guillet is one of the most highly decorated (both civil and military) people in Italian history. In 2001, Gulliet visited Eritrea and was met by thousands of supporters. The group included men who previously served with him as horsemen in the Italian Cavalry known as Gruppo Bande a Cavallo. The Eritrean people remembered Gulliet's efforts to help Eritrea remain independent of Ethiopia. In 2009, his 100th birthday was celebrated with a special concert at the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. Amedeo Guillet died on June 16th, 2010, in Rome at the age of 101.
