  • Indigenous Peoples' Rights in International
    INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ RIGHTS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW: INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ RIGHTS EMERGENCE AND APPLICATION This diverse collection of essays and articles emerged from a workshop IN INTERNATIONAL LAW held in Oslo in March 2012, hosted by the Norwegian Center for Human Rights and the University of Oslo. The purpose of the workshop was to gather memories of how the international community had decided to exa- mine the situation of Indigenous peoples, to explore, explain and celebrate their pioneering work within the United Nations and the International La- bour Organization. The participants also examined the impact of that work and were further asked to identify desirable future developments. EMERGENCE AND APPLICATION The workshop and now this volume have brought together unique hi- storical and political perspectives of the same events from a variety of dif- ferent viewpoints. Participants were drawn from Indigenous communities, from the United Nations and the ILO, from national governments and from NGOs, all of whom had been involved in these discussions over the years – some since the very beginning. Among the participants in the workshop was Asbjørn Eide, the fou- nding Chairperson of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations (WGIP), and this book is dedicated to him on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

  • A Historical Timeline 1970S and Before
    NJ Election Law Enforcement Commission- A Historical Timeline By Joseph Donohue, Deputy Director (Updated 10/2/17) 1970s and Before October 16, 1964- Governor Richard Hughes enacts New Jersey’s first lobbying law (Chapter 207). It requires any lobbyist who makes $500 or more in three months or spends that much to influence legislation to register with the Secretary of State. Trenton attorney John Heher, representing American Mutual Insurance Alliance of Chicago, becomes the state’s first registered lobbyist.1 New Jersey Education Association, historically one of the most powerful lobbyists in the capitol, registers for the first time on December 15, 1964.2 September 1, 1970- The interim report of the bipartisan New Jersey Election Law Revision Commission concludes “stringent disclosure requirements on every aspect of political financing must be imposed and enforce at every election level….If there were full public disclosure and publication of all campaign contributions and expenditures during a campaign, the voters themselves could better judge whether a candidate has spent too much.” It recommends creation of a 5-member Election Law Enforcement Commission and a tough enforcement strategy: “withhold the issuance of a certificate of election to a candidate who has not complied with the provisions of this act.”3 November 13, 1971- A new lobbying law (Chapter 183) takes effect, repealing the 1964 act and transferring all jurisdiction to the Attorney General. It requires lobbyists to wear badges in the Statehouse for the first time and file quarterly reports that list the bills they are supporting or opposing. April 7, 1972- Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 requires disclosure of campaign contributions and expenditures for federal candidates.4 June 17, 1972- Break-in occurs at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, DC.

  • The Women's Project Resource Guide.Pdf
    THE WOMEN’S PROJECT HEALTH RESOURCE GUIDE The Women’s Project is funded by Providing court-involved women with excellence in integrated healthcare and employment services. 1 Women in prison have long suffered because prisons and jails have often been designed by men for men. In addition, women’s healthcare—as applies to medical, behavioral, including mental health and addiction, and particularly OB/GYN—has often been ignored at best or at worst been a source of maltreatment and malfeasance. We are most grateful to the strong leadership and support of Senate President Stephen Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin or their sponsorship and ongoing support of the Women’s Reentry Commission. Thank you to Governor Murphy for his commitment to reentry, supporting legislative enactments that expand reentry accountability, and providing for greater prisoner releases during the Public Health Emergency. Particularly, we are indebted to the members of the Commission, who have steered The Women’s Project to today’s resource directory, integrated healthcare delivery system, and navigation & case management referral. Through the clear and powerful support of women’s state legislative leadership, the Women’s Reentry Commission Report was issued as a critical pathway toward improving the conditions for women in prison and upon reentry. The Women’s Project is an outgrowth of that report, specifically answering the need for integrated women’s healthcare. The Resource Guide provides a comprehensive survey of medical, mental health, and addiction treatment services in each of the eight (8) New Jersey Reentry Corporation county sites. Working with the leadership of The Women’s Reentry Commission, NJRC case management staff, and our women’s health navigators, our goal is to provide the best healthcare for women leaving incarceration and reentering the general community.

New Jerseyans were asked their views of the ten people alive this year who have served as the state’s chief executive since 1974. Kean is on top of the heap – as he was in surveys taken in 2010 and 2006 – with the late Brendan Byrne coming in at number two. The state’s newest former governor, Chris Christie, finds himself alone in the cellar. Tom Kean (R; 1982-90) is viewed favorably by 45% of the New Jersey public and unfavorably by 12%, with 43% having no opinion. This is comparable to his 46% favorable and 9% unfavorable rating eight years ago. His +33 point net positive rating keeps Kean clearly at the top of the Garden State gubernatorial leader board. Kean’s predecessor, Brendan Byrne (D; 1974-82), edges into second place among the field of ten with a +18 net positive rating – 28% favorable and 10% unfavorable, with 62% who have no opinion. Among New Jerseyans age 55 and older – i.e. those who were of voting age when Byrne was still governor – Byrne earns an even more positive +33 rating (46% favorable and 13% unfavorable).

  • HOBBY HORSE RIDER Preserves Many Delightful Hobby Horse Rides Which Contributed to Lilburn Kingsbury Becoming a “Living Legend” Well Before His Death
    Table of Contents Dedication To My wife of 68 years Madeleine Huppert Kingsbury Without whose unfaltering love, understanding and encouragement, this book would never have been completed. Inside Front Jacket Lilburn Adkin Kingsbury (October 14, 1884 - July 1, 1983) Alex Hailey, author of Roots wrote: “When an old person dies, it is like a small library burning.” This was not true of Lilburn Adkin Kingsbury. I found his writings to be a small but very precious library. These writings include much of his historical research covering 150 years of life in Missouri’s historic Boonslick country. They tell much of the mores and activities of its interesting people. I believe the nucleus of this material should be preserved as Lilburn’s legacy to those who shared his love for the historic area. From early childhood Lilburn always had one or more hobby horses to ride. These included collecting antique furniture, pressed glass, bottles, jugs, clocks and ultimately buttons. Other hobbies were genealogy, history, talking to groups, and writing articles and columns. All these are described voluminously in his principal hobby, letter writing. His history hobby led to his becoming the first president of the Boonslick Historical Society. In 1977 the Boonslick Historical Society, relatives, and friends gave Lilburn a surprise 93rd birthday party honoring him for his forty years of service to the society and his many contributions to the community. –Warren Taylor Kingsbury Inside Back Jacket Excerpts from the Letters from Lilburn “In anticipation of the hanging excitement, a group of men arranged for an excursion train to be run from Sedalia to Boonville to accommodate those who wished to witness the event....” • • • “The next day our minister felt impelled to tell Mrs.
