  • Morocco’s strategy to Enhance and Rehabilitate the Kingdom’s Ancient Medinas, Fez at the Forefront - Morocco’s strategy to enhance the Kingdom’s ancient medinas (older parts) of various cities, the King of Morocco is launching a new program in Fez that aims at rehabilitating ancient cities, preserving traditional trades and improving the living conditions of citizens. Berlin Germany., March 12, 2020 -- In the Framework of Morocco’s strategy to enhance the Kingdom’s ancient medinas (older parts) of various cities, the King of Morocco is launching a new mega program that aims at rehabilitating cities, preserving traditional trades and improving the living conditions of citizens. Last week, The King launched a program to preserve the architectural and historical character of the Medina of Fez and to promote the influence of this millennial city. This new program concerns the restoration and rehabilitation of the historical assets of the medina of Fez (4 sites), the redevelopment and upgrading of urban areas (9 sites), the strengthening of the tourist and economic attractiveness of this Museum City (33 sites), the development of local social facilities (171 sites) and the treatment of buildings at risk of ruin (980 sites). While in Fez, the King visited the restoration site of Khrachfiyine Foundouq (an inn situated in the heart of the old city), a project that is part of the development program of the Medina of Fez (2018-2023). This restoration project should, at the end of the work, participate in the preservation and development of the historical heritage and the promotion of crafts in the foundouqs as well as improving the working conditions for artisans. In addition to the restoration of the Foundouq, 11 other historic monuments and emblematic sites, 10 places of worship (mosques and Koranic schools), 40 places of well-being (hammams, fountains and health centers), 39 traditional crafts and commercial sites will be restored. Dar Al Makina which receives each year thousands of guests from around the world attending festivals in Fes will also get restored. The aim is to improve the urban landscape and the architectural environment of the Fez Medina. Always in the context of strengthening the tourist attractiveness of the medina of Fez, a program has been implemented to develop car parks, rehabilitate public spaces and install an information system (2017-2022). This program aims at improving accessibility to the old medina through the development of eight car parks. In addition, the program also consists of the paving the streets and alleys, squares of the Medina as well as the installation of information kiosks for the service of locals and tourists. The rate of progress of the projects for paving streets, alleys, squares is at 44%, squares of the Medina at 74%, and installation of information terminals at 75%. The City of Fez is 1,200-year-old. It was founded in 789 and is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1981. Once in Fez, visitors’ senses are stimulated with aromas through its 9,500 alleyways. At the heart of the old city is the Kairaouine university which may be the world’s oldest university—it was established in 859. Given the fact that the medina of Fez has no structure for cars or cranes to access buildings at risk of collapsing, Morocco has been working tirelessly to rehabilitate this architectural jewel. In fact, more than 2,200 buildings at risk have already rehabilitated already. Fez has over 60 seqqâya (public fountains), which testify to the Almoravid dynasty’s clever civil engineers. They diverted rivers, made dams and built an intricate canal network to distribute the water throughout Morocco. The fountains in the medina feature brilliant zellij (tilework). To Conclude, the Fez medina development program will cost approximately $9.2 million to enhance the touristic appeal of 33 museums and heritage sites in the city. Friends of Morocco is a nonprofit organization with branches around the world. The main objective is to promote Morocco and to build bridges and connect people who have fallen in Love with this country, adopted its culture and made it their 2nd home. Contact: Elle P.

  • Adelaide PAX Migration wins ThreeBestRated® Award 2020 for Best Migration Agent - Applying for an Australian visa is a complex process just as it is for any other country.

Adelaide, SA., February 28, 2020 -- Applying for an Australian visa is a complex process just as it is for any other country.

  • Harry Potter Author J.K. Rowling’s Fairytale Book Penned and Published by Author Loic Cabrel - Fantasy author Loic Cabrel, a second cousin to Harry Potter author J.K Rowling, with permission from her, pens and publishes her prior purported political fairytale as a new fantasy book: Terrie, The Sorcerer, and first book of a fantasy series: Terrie of Terrestria series – a sort of sequel and sort of spin-off to the Harry Potter series, and also of a sort of shared universe and shared world with it. Terrie, The Sorcerer is a book which is a sorcery series whose story is all about sorcerers and sorceresses and sorcery, and about salvation sorcery (saving of souls by saint sorcerers with use of saint sorcery), and sacrificing sorcery (sacrificing of souls by satanic sorcerers with use of satanic sorcery). Its tale takes place in a Terrestria section that is the terrestrial section of a sorcering world, and also a greenish Earth section situated cardinally in the North-and-Up, and in which sorcerers and sorceresses walk with legs on its grounds or groundlands, and its central character called Terrie. The book specially says a story and tells a tale of sorcerers and sorceresses that are of two types: the beneficent saint or sacred (Saints or Sacreds), and the maleficent satanic or sacrilegious (Satanists or Sacrileges). Sorcerers and sorceresses say and speak spells (in strong-and-sharp sounds of sparks-and-sparkles), and sorceries (in soft-and-slight sounds of shines-and-shimmers), and shamanisms (in scream-and-screech sounds of sleeks-and-sheens), spelled by the saint vs. satanic, with staffs for seniors + sticks for small + staves for superiors + sceptres for sovereigns, and in a sorcery world, Sorceria or the Sorcering State, and in a sorcery school, Scholaria School of Sorcery and Sorcerycraft, – wizardry and witchcraft, weaved by good and evil wizards and witches, with wands, in the wizarding and witchcraft world, and in the wizarding and witchcraft school of Hogwarts in Harry Potter. Sorcerers and sorceresses ‘swirl’ on swirling saucers, ‘sweep’ on sweeping sweepsticks (sort of flying broomsticks), and ‘soar and swoop’ on soaring and swooping shags (sort of flying carpets), – wizards and witches flying on broomsticks in Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling had revealed the fairy tale in a former CNN interview with interviewer Christiane Amanpour when she said: “Oh, that was a fairy tale ... it wasn’t political in a party political sense…and I don’t know if I’ll ever publish that but I will tell you this: The theme of my 50th birthday, which I held at Halloween, even though that's not really my birthday, was come as your own private nightmare. And I went as a lost manuscript. And I wrote over a dress most of that book.” She also added: “So that book, I don't know whether it will ever be published, but it's actually hanging in a wardrobe currently.” She however handed the book and its authorship to her second cousin, aspiring author Loic Cabrel, after he had read it and rewrote and retold the story, and J.K. Rowling awestruck by this approved of it and gave him the green-light to put it to publishing, after giving and granting him its single and sole rights. He has published the book Terrie, The Sorcerer, at publisher Smashwords, at its Smashwords Store primarily where book buyers can buy and download the book multiple times and in multiple formats – an awesome advantage to book buyers buying in the site. He is sending it to digital eBook retailers through Smashwords still. Soon shall he see to its print publishing. This new and novel book’s goal is to give to fans and fanatics of Harry Potter a new fantasy franchise in filiation to the media fantasy franchise of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World. The novel in an epic scale and size of 125 000 words and 255 pages, is priced at $9.99 and selling close to a million copies in its eBook sales at the Smashwords Store, and receiving acclaim from fellow fantasy writers and critics. Loic Cabrel, is a British-born, a second cousin to J.K. Rowling and a descendant to Marian Volant – a sibling to Anne Volant (J. K. Rowling’s mother), and also a son of Marian Volant’s daughter whom she had with a French man, Louis Cabrel. He has a great goal to become a grand and great, skilled and superb, proficient and prolific author and writer. Since his adolescence, he has been involved in literary organizations and adhered to membership at book fairs, book shows, and book festivals wherein he has encountered and exchanged with many of the well-known authors in the fantasy genre. He has also put to pen and published two superheroed scripts: Fantastic Five I and Scorpion-Man I, soon to be seen to the screen.

  • Center for Community Advocacy Turns 30 - In 1992, farmworkers in the Salinas Valley were discovered living in squalid and unsafe conditions in lean-tos and caves, without running water, heat or toilet facilities. Salinas, CA, February 17, 2020 - In 1992, farmworkers in the Salinas Valley were discovered living in squalid and unsafe conditions in lean-tos and caves, without running water, heat or toilet facilities. The discovery became national news, giving rise to such headlines as “Harvest of Despair” and the living quarters facetiously called “Rancho de Cuevas,” or Cave Ranch. It was a seminal and catalytic moment for the recently formed organization, Center for Community Advocacy, which had only been founded two years earlier and was trying to establish its identity and mission. CCA’s initial mission was to give farmworkers a voice in their housing choices and conditions by empowering them to organize with fellow farmworkers and demand safer, healthier and livable housing. CCA did that by organizing and forming neighborhood committees in each labor camp and farmworker housing complexes who could then advocate for their own camps. “That was a key moment in CCA history and catalyzed the creation of the CCA,” said CCA Executive Director Daniel Gonzalez about that shocking 1992 revelation. “It gave CCA the fuel it needed. CCA was initially about housing, but these cases themselves don’t define the CCA culture. We’re not just about giving out information, but to develop leadership so farmworkers can speak for themselves.” That mission is distilled in CCA’s slogan, “Helping Farmworkers Help Themselves,” which now goes beyond just housing issues to include health and nutrition issues, safety, education and strengthening family relationships. CCA’s daunting challenge after it was founded was crystalized in comments made by one of the early leaders of a neighborhood committee, Jesus Fernandez, who was quoted in a video made by CCA in the late 1990s: “We didn’t even know we had any rights.” That was a stunning revelation to the public at large, which may have taken these rights for granted and may not have been aware that members of its own community were denied these most basic of human rights. Gonzalez cites two accomplishments in the past 30 years that further raised CCA’s profile and standing in the community: the creation of a joint board of directors that featured representation from all segments of the community, from farmworkers and farm owners to developers, community leaders, corporate leaders, members of the clergy, and elected officials; and the creation of VIVA, a coalition of all neighborhood committees that was also represented on the board. That was in the early 1990s, when VIVA consisted of representatives from 10 neighborhood committees (or comités). That number is now 40 and still growing. The board at the time also included CCA’s co-founder, Lydia Villareal, who was Deputy District Attorney at the time and was involved in the 1992 labor camp case and is currently President of CCA’s Board of Directors. Other board members when CCA was founded included such community leaders as Basil Mills of Mills Distributing Co., Bob R. Nielsen, Vice President and General Counsel of Tanimura & Antle, Inc., attorney Vanessa Vallarta, developer Mike Fletcher and Sam Karas of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors. One of the most significant figures in the founding and development of CCA has been Sabino Lopez, who has been at CCA from the onset in 1990, holding a variety of roles including organizer, deputy director, leader/organizer, and Interim Executive Director in 2017-2018. Lopez led the development of CCA’s award-winning organizing model and for nearly three decades has served as a steward of the organization’s mission to develop and empower the farmworker community in the Salinas and Pajaro Valleys. He is currently CCA’s Deputy Director. “We are bridge-builders, we work on both sides,” said Gonzalez, who became CCA executive director in November 2018. “We have these connections with farmworkers and growers. Everyone’s got a side, an issue and that’s what CCA is about. Giving access to people is key for this model to develop and to work.” CCA’s early efforts not only brought to light the dangerous and unhealthy conditions of “Rancho de Cuevas”, but also of so-called “legal” labor camps in which farmworkers paid $500 a month in dilapidated units that were built in the 1920s and were only meant to be temporary housing, as well as a devastating 1991 fire in the Kent Court Camp outside of Watsonville that displaced six families. CCA filed suit on behalf of 33 families in that instance and got compensation for their losses. In addition, CCA helped broker a deal between residents who lived in the “Tres Palmas” Trailer Park in Pajaro and the landlord, who had long neglected repairs and maintenance in the park. After withholding rent for eight months (it was held in an account to be paid later), the landlord agreed to sell the trailer park to the residents, which formed a corporation with CCA as the governing body. One of the biggest early success stories was the building of the Moro Cojo housing development, which consisted of 175 homes and 90 apartments for 300 families, at the time the largest development of its kind in rural California. “I’ve seen several changes, particularly changes in attitude,” said attorney Vallarta, who served as executive director for six years, after the opening of Moro Cojo. “The sense that I can act to make a difference in my life or the sense that I don’t have to take it anymore, that I can act to make my life better. That’s the message that CCA brings to folks.” And, 30 years later, while CCA still advocates for housing issues, it has expanded its mission and programs to include health and nutrition through its Health Promoters (Promotores Comunitarios Project); a Strong Families Program that strives to reduce violence and other forms of abusive behavior by teaching strategies that strengthen family relationships; and most recently its support of Youth for Change (Y4C), a group that identifies, recruits, trains and engages future leaders within East Salinas communities. In its appeal last year to the Monterey County Weekly’s annual fundraising campaign for nonprofit groups, MC Gives!, CCA wrote: “CCA believes that youth leaders need an infrastructure to develop leadership capacity and to develop common agendas where leaders can take collective action to improve communities. Local youth benefit from the Y4C program by: developing skills that make them active participants in their community; using what they learn to help improve the quality of lives for their families and peers; developing community-based youth agendas for collective action; and receiving higher education and career guidance.” Y4C was born when CCA began organizing adult residents in the Acosta Plaza neighborhood, launching several resident-led activities such as the construction of a basketball court and park area. During the project, youths, accompanying their parents, started attending meetings and work activities. They then invited other friends to join the effort and shortly thereafter, CCA was working with a core group of youth who testified at City Council hearings to secure funds for the project, conducted their own fundraising activities to support the project, surveyed their neighbors to increase resident support for the project and provided labor for the project. As the project neared completion, the youthful leaders formed a group and named themselves Youth for Change, developing an agenda that aided their civic participation. A big component of the program involves education and career guidance. Youth and their parents participate in sessions where they learn about requirements, resources and important information needed to move forward toward a higher education. The goal of the program is for participants to secure an educational path to college. At the end of the program they visit a campus of their choice to learn about the intricacies and costs of college life. “That’s our real foundation, to commit kids to issues in their community,” said Gonzalez about the importance of Y4C. “Helping youths get out of poverty, go to college or vocational school and help solve issues in their community and change the narrative, that’s the essence of CCA. The more people we commit to this, the more chance we have to make a change.” Gonzalez said that CCA needs to forge ahead, keep its programs active and evolving and involve as many segments of the community it can to effect change. “It really has changed people’s lives and we need to continue doing this work, because if we stop, people forget,” he said.

  • New Book by Michael Washburn: Stranger, Stranger - New York, NY – ADELAIDE BOOKS is proud to offer the latest work by Michael Washburn Stranger, Stranger hitting stores everywhere on January 23rd, 2020. How often, upon hearing about people who have had regrettable experiences or have lost their lives, we wish they had followed advice received early in life about not talking to strangers. But there are strangers we would be better off knowing, and it is hard to imagine a functioning society comprised of elementary particles (to allude to the title of one of French author Michel Houllebecq’s great novels) existing in perfect isolation and never interacting at all. The interplay of strangers has inspired storytellers of all epochs in every corner of the planet. In these tales, fugitives, drifters, misfits, and outcasts meet in locales as varied as hotels, bars, galleries, lecture halls, parks, pastures, beaches, and battlefields, but tension arises almost invariably from the interplay of sinister intelligences that rightly distrust one another. Michael Washburn is a Brooklyn-based writer and journalist. His short fiction has appeared recently in Concho River Review, Green Hills Literary Lantern, Rosebud, Weirdbook, Serial, The Tishman Review, Meat for Tea: The Valley Review, and other publications. Michael’s story “Confessions of a Spook” won Causeway Lit’s 2018 fiction contest. Two other collections, The Uprooted and Other Stories (2018) and When We’re Grownups (2019), are available from Adelaide Books.

There he is nurtured by library members, who find the library is attracting new members because of their young residents. As he grows to manhood, he adopts as his world view the notion that a moral society is based on books, which are never wrong.

That he wears it uneasily and speaks with dry humor makes his words all the more convincing. He is indeed the direct heir of something grand and important.”— Quill and Quire Lazar Sarna lives in Montreal where he practices law and teaches. He is the author of the poetry collections He Claims he is the Heir, Porcupine’s Quill (2005), Letters of State, Porcupine’s Quill (1978), Mystics on a Picnic, Hillel (1972), The Singsong (1968), The Tethered Man (2019) and as well as a novel The Man Who Lived Near Nelligan, Coach House Press (1975).

"The day I officially became homeless was several days before President Trump met Kim Jun Un. I knew that Trump was trying to make relationships with North Korea and the United States amenable, but I secretly prayed that North Korea would unleash a ballistic missile on Reeder Track, the awful meth ridden, pothead neighborhood where the dogs and I had resided for over two years in a blue-colored mobile home. I owned six dogs. Bragi, Homer, and Plato are pit bulls. Athena is a dobie/pitbull/hound mix who was dumped in a field near my house. She loves to pirouette like a ballerina. Peron, who lived up to his name, is a Chihuahua mix. Evita is a dachshund mix. I wanted Un to give the orders for the missile to hit Reeder Track after my six dogs and I safely left the neighborhood. But then I realized that a nuclear blast would be catastrophic, extending at least 100 miles past Reeder Track. Needless to say, the major loss of life would be tragic. Plus my canines would become radioactive pets. So that was not a good idea.” Sevasti Iyama has written for The Fix, After Party, the Antelope Valley Press and the Kern Valley Sun. Several of her short stories have been published in Adelaide Literary Magazine, and she was a finalist for the Adelaide Voices Literary Contest 2018.

The film follows a determined team of American engineers and designers, led by automotive visionary Carroll Shelby (Damon) and his British driver Ken Miles (Bale).
