The surname Dalles was first found in Modena (Etruscan: Mutna; Latin: Mutina; Modenese: Mòdna), a city in Emilia capital of the province of Modena. It became Roman in 215 B.C. It was successfully defended by Brutus against Mark Anthony. It changed hands many times between Church and Duchy. In 1859 the inhabitants declared in favour of unity with the Kingdom of Italy. The Ducal Palace is a notable. Rich in art the city has many museums and galleries. In those ancient times only persons of rank, the podesta, clergy, city officials, army officers, artists, landowners were entered into the records. To be recorded at this time was in itself a family honor.

The proud Lewiston surname is from the personal name Lewis, an Anglicized form of the Welsh name Llewellyn. This name is often explained as meaning "lion-like," but is in fact probably derived from the Welsh word "llyw," which means "leader." Alternatively, the name Lewis is also an Anglo-French form of the Old Frankish name Hludwig, which means "loud battle."
The surname Lewiston was first found in Glamorganshire (Welsh: Sir Forgannwg), a region of South Wales, anciently part of the Welsh kingdom of Glywysing, where the family held a seat from ancient times.
There are relatively few surnames native to Wales, but they have an inordinately large number of spelling variations. Early variations of Welsh surnames can be explained by the fact that very few people in the early Middle Ages were literate. Priests and the few other literate people were responsible for recording names in official documents. And because most people could not specific how to properly record their names it was up to the individual recorder of that time to determine how a spoken name should be recorded. Variations due to the imprecise or improper recording of a name continued later in history when names originally composed in the Brythonic Celtic, language of Wales, known by natives as Cymraeg, were transliterated into English. Welsh names that were documented in English often changed dramatically since the native language of Wales, which was highly inflected, did not copy well. Occasionally, however, spelling variations were carried out according to an individual's specific design: a branch loyalty within the family, a religious adherence, or even patriotic affiliations could be indicated by minor variations. The spelling variations of the name Lewiston have included Lewis, Lewiss, Lewess, Lews, Llewys, Llewis, Lewwis, Llewess and many more.

During the latter half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the people of Wales journeyed to North America to find a new life. They made major contributions to the arts, industry and commerce of both Canada and the United States, and added a rich cultural heritage to their newly adopted societies. A look at the immigration and passenger lists has shown a number of people bearing the name Lewiston: Robert Lewis, who emigrated from Wales to Virginia in 1638; Abigail Lewis, who came to Maryland in 1659; Owen Lewis, who immigrated to Virginia in 1667.
Your picture is a little dark, but your plant appears to be a Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum). I can’t tell from the picture what is wrong with your plant?? Peace Lilies are beautiful indoor houseplants with large, glossy, oval, dark green leaves and impressive white “spathes” (flowers) that last for several weeks. Spathes may be green, which reminds us that they are really modified leaves. It is normal for the “flowers” to turn brown and die. Cut them off at the base of their stem when that occurs. More flowers will develop throughout the year. You can read all my advice on how to grow, care for, and maintain a Peace Lily in the Popular Houseplant section of the website.
Although NASA lists the Peace Lily as one of the best plants to clean the air of harmful toxins such as benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide, these plants are considered poisonous and should be kept away from pets and children.

Eight in 10 Americans believe we are still in the middle of the housing crisis — or that the worst is yet to come — according to a national survey conducted by Hart Research Associates and commissioned by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
Two-thirds of adults, 65% to be exact, now believe the focus of national housing policy should be split fairly equally between rental and ownership, as opposed to emphasizing one specifically.
While 70% of renters aspire to own a home one day, 57% of those surveyed believe that buying a home has become less appealing.
After decades of linking homeownership with the American Dream, 3 in 5 adults believe that after the housing crisis, renters can be just as successful as homeowners at achieving the American Dream.
"America is going through a transformational period in which the old forms and systems are changing, and the unconventional is becoming more conventional and even fashionable," said Peter D. Hart of Hart Research Associates.
"While the desire to own a home remains a bedrock principle in American life, this survey demonstrates that the American public’s views about housing are changing, in part due to the hangover from the housing crisis, but importantly, also because of changes in our lifestyles. The dynamic is no longer simply 'renting versus owning' – perspectives are more complex, and people are viewing housing in a more holistic way," Hart added.
John Allen, 22, looks at his personal recognizance bond paperwork after being released from Harris County Wednesday, June 7, 2017, in Houston. Allen was brought in on criminal trespass charge.
Harris County officials on Tuesday said they would check up on hundreds of people being released from jail under a federal judge's order to determine whether any commit new crimes or fail to show up for court appearances.
More than 600 people charged with misdemeanors have been released since June 7 when the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an emergency motion by the county to block the judge's order, according to estimates provided to the county attorney's office from criminal court officials.
The ruling by Chief U.S. District Judge Lee H. Rosenthal earlier this year came in a lawsuit challenging Harris County's cash bail system, which the judge found unconstitutionally jailed low-level offenders, some for extended periods, because they cannot afford even nominal bail amounts. Rosenthal ordered the county to begin releasing jail inmates accused of misdemeanor crimes who cannot afford bail, except for those who have other restrictions, such as mental health evaluations or federal detainers.
Members of Commissioners Court on Tuesday said they worry the order will mean more crimes and more missed court appearances.
"That's my sort of common-sense problem with this whole ruling," Harris County Judge Ed Emmett said. "I've stated publicly that someone shouldn't be in jail because they can't afford bail ... there's got to be a risk assessment here. I don't think anyone wants somebody to keep driving drunk time after time after time until they kill some family somewhere."
Precinct 4 Commissioner Jack Cagle and Precinct 3 Commissioner Steve Radack said Rosenthal's ruling makes it easy for criminals to game the system by swearing they do not have enough money to pay bail - even if they do - just to get out of jail.
"This is a slap at every single Harris County Criminal court judge," Radack said. "It's a slap at their integrity, their intelligence, and it's, basically, it really doesn't matter how bad you are, as long as you're charged with a misdemeanor. If you say you can't afford bail, you're getting out."
A 193-page opinion accompanying Rosenthal's order outlined research that showed personal bonds in other jursidictions were no less effective at getting people to show up for their trials, nor did they significantly lead to additional offenses by those released. In fact, Rosenthal wrote, research shows pretrial detention increases the likelihood that people will commit future crimes.
Her order states that judges still have other tools - such as breathalyzers or GPS monitoring - to address the risk of releasees committing new offenses.
It also notes that the county has "not compiled the data it has to compare failure-to-appear or new-criminal-activity rates by bond type among misdemeanor defendants during pretrial release."
Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis is the lone member of Commissioners Court who agrees that the county's bail system is unconstitutional. He repeatedly has advocated settling the lawsuit. In response to his colleagues' concerns, he noted that people who can afford bail can get out and re-offend, too, saying that using high bail amounts to detain individuals disproportionately affects the poor.
Determining whether Rosenthal's order is creating proportionally more danger for the community would require officials to compare those released on personal recognizance to those who can afford to make bail.
The county so far has spent approximately $3.5 million fighting the controversial case, said First Assistant County Attorney Robert Soard. That could rise if plaintiffs ultimately win the lawsuit.
The court lawsuit was filed last May by two civil rights groups - Texas Fair Defense Project and Civil Rights Corps - and local law firm Susman Godfrey on behalf of a single mother who was held for two days on a charge of driving without a valid license because she could not afford the $2,500 bail. Similar lawsuits filed on behalf of two other people were merged into the case in August.

The amount of resources borrowed from our Earth to create the buildings in which we spend 93% of our lives is staggering. If we look at just the residential building industry, we see that we are building homes with a life span of 40-100 years, with the interior materials having an even shorter lifespan.
Through this discussion, Caroline Kostak, secretary of the Texas Gulf Coast Region chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council, will look at how we can meet the need to shelter and provide work space for a growing population while also being respectful of the resources given to us on Earth. We will explore different strategies that can lead to efficient resource management and produce beautiful, healthy, and efficient buildings that celebrate the gifts and abundance of the Earth while also protecting them.
"The Battle of Algiers" is a 1966 Italian-Algerian historical war film co-written and directed by Gillo Pontecorvo and starring Jean Martin and Saadi Yacef. It is based on events during the Algerian War (1954–62) against the French government in North Africa; the most prominent being the titular Battle of Algiers, the capital of Algeria. It was shot on location and the film's score was composed by Ennio Morricone. The film, which was shot in a Roberto Rossellini-inspired newsreel style—in black and white with documentary-type editing—is often associated with Italian neorealism cinema.
The film has been critically celebrated and often taken, by insurgent groups and states alike, as an important commentary on urban guerrilla warfare. It occupies the 48th place on the Critics' Top 250 Films of the 2012 Sight & Sound poll as well as 120th place on Empire magazine's list of the 500 greatest movies of all time.

On Thursday, June 28th, families, advocates, and allies will hold a rally in the park across the street from the Brownsville Federal Court, where immigrants are being prosecuted en masse for crossing the border into the United States, and then separated from their children. Instead of focusing on actually reuniting kids with parents, the Trump administration now wants to warehouse whole families in prisons. Children don’t belong in jail at all, even with their parents, under any circumstances.
Houstonians- UNITE! Join Indivisible Houston, PSR Houston, FIEL and other allied groups Saturday, June 30th at 10 AM for a rally at City Hall and march to Ted Cruz’s office to show solidarity with families and opposition to burdensome, ignorant, divisive immigration law.
The horrors of the deportation machine and the Administration’s decision to kidnap children and use them as pawns in exchange for a fantasy real estate construction project along the southern border rip apart families and destroy communities.
4) End private prison donations and require reps return all private prison donations- both individual and PAC.
Widespread, intense opposition to the separation of migrant families has led Trump to issue an executive order supposedly ending this practice. But this nightmare is far from over. About 2000 children remain separated from their moms and dads. Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy of prosecuting migrants may mean more family separations or the long-term detention of entire families. The administration is talking about new detention centers for scores of thousands of migrants. And in Houston, plans for a new child detention center at 419 Emancipation Avenue are going forward.
The Free Los Niños Coalition and its member organizations invite you to participate in another demonstration against the Houston child detention center at 419 Emancipation Avenue on Thursday, July 5, at 6 pm. This action will include lots of chanting, remarks from sponsoring groups, a march through the neighborhood, some wonderful entertainment, and—time permitting—an open mic. Please join us and help prevent the detention of migrants on a street which was recently renamed to honor the emancipation of African Americans from slavery.
Cherry Steinwender, Executive Director of the Center for the Healing of Racism, and Laura Gallier will reflect on their experience at the 19th Annual White Privilege Conference.
Please join the Honorable Keith Ellison, the Anti-Defamation League, and American Constitution Society for a conversation with Rebecca Heller, director and co-founder of the International Refugee Assistance Program.
Rebecca will be discussing the legal framework for refugee and asylum applicants, the current policies and laws surrounding this issue, and ways the legal community and others can help.
School textbooks have played a key role in reinforcing and maintaining white supremacy and racism in the United States. James W. Loewen’s bestselling book Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook got Wrong, explores how historical myths continue to be perpetuated about everything from Columbus’s historic voyages to an honest evaluation of U.S. foreign policy. Please join us for one or both of two dialogues to discuss the issues presented in Loewen’s book: Tuesday, July 17, 2018 — Noon to 2:00 PM and/or Wednesday, July 18, 2018 — 6:30 to 8:30 PM.
