Antigonus Monopthalmus was one of the most important characters during the Diadochi (Successors) wars that followed the death of Alexander the Great.
The paucity of sources for the 4th century BC means that there’s little on Antigonus until his middling adult life. However, his critical role in the disposition of Alexander’s empire in his latter decades means there’s a lot more to chew on later. Whilst there are still gaps, the twists and turns (on both political and military levels) ensures that what the author writes is engaging.
After a short-lived attempt to keep Alexander’s empire whole, it fractured into numerous massive chunks. More than that, Alexander’s (and his father’s before him) military accomplishments meant there were a huge number of incredibly capable, ruthless, bold and ambitious men willing and able to fight over the enormous territory he bequeathed (to put it into context, Alexander reigned over land from modern day Albania to the eastern border of Pakistan).
There’s a natural focus on the military aspect of Antigonus’ life, particularly the epic tussle with Eumenes of Cardia, but this is inextricably linked to the political shenanigans and manoeuvrings of Antigonus and his fellow Diadochi.
Despite having read something of this period there were quite a few instances of new information, or different interpretations of generally agreed events. I found the relationship between Antigonus and his eldest son Demetrius particularly interesting (on both personal and military levels), which stood in stark contrast to the strained [and occasionally filicidal] relationships of the other kings with their sons.
Being picky, there were occasionally small omissions (the author mentions Antigonus had Antigenes killed, but didn’t mention the poor fellow was burnt alive). However, none were glaring or material omissions.
It’s fair to say the Diadochi era, despite being fascinating, is not the best known of periods. I would encourage people to give it a crack, however.
Those interested in this era might also find my review of Ghost on the Throne, by James Romm worth a look.

How to install a SeaSucker Bike Rack
SeaSucker, LLC released a new video demonstrating how to install a SeaSucker Bike Rack. This video is a must-watch for anyone owning or thinking of buying a SeaSucker Bike Rack. Furthermore, it includes several very handy Pro Tips. And finally, the video demonstrates how SeaSucker Vacuum Mounts work.
This video highlights why SeaSucker Vacuum Mounts are NOT suction cups. The key difference between the two is the in-built vacuum pump and the vacuum pad. Subsequently, with its ability to generate significant negative air pressure or vacuum, the vacuum mount is capable of holding higher levels of vacuum compared to a suction cup. For example, each 152 mm (or 6″) Vacuum Mount generates 90 kg (or 210 pounds) of direct pull strength
Pro Tips
The Pro Tips are applicable for all SeaSucker Bike Racks. The first Pro Tip is how to maximise the holding strength and time of each vacuum mount. Firstly, pump up each vacuum mount until the plunger fully retracts. Next, grab hold of the plunger and give it a quick pull followed by a pump or two. This maximises the holding strength and time of the vacuum mount.
Another great Pro Ti[p is how to quickly and easily adjust the fork mount to suit your bike. As a result, this method enables you to find the right tension to secure your bike by its forks
This is a MUST watch video on how to install a SeaSucker Bike Rack. It is applicable for anyone that currently owns or is thinking of purchasing a SeaSucker Bike Rack. Also, you can check out Our Customer’s Cars for more inspiration. Thanks to Austin Powers from SeaSucker.

When I started blogging again, I thought I would put in a good faith effort. I was wrong, but what’s new? I’m no stranger to being incorrect. But the thing is, I’ve always done my best writing when my brain was festering with mixed feelings and the inability to communicate with the spoken word. Lately, I’m rocking communication with the spoken word, and I am happy.
I guess I don’t know what to write about. No one wants to hear about how happy my boyfriend makes me. How nice it is to be completely thrilled with the companionship of another human being; how nice it is to truly love someone. Until I was 26, I was almost certain that being inexplicably happy was a myth. I think I was just looking and looming in all of the wrong places, like a bad country song. It turns out it just takes the right person. It just takes another adult who understands adult responsibilities, adult happiness, and an adult who wants to make things work. Someone that wants to make you laugh and enjoys laughing at/wish you as well. Someone who seems perfect for you. Someone whose shoulder you can’t wait to rest your head on at the end of a long day.
If you had asked me a year or two ago if I believe in two people being perfect for each other, I probably would have resisted punching you in the face. Mostly because that would seem like a terrible question to ask of me. I was a professional in regards to cynicism regarding love and finding your person.
But I’m getting used to this happiness business. In the beginning, I was very scared. It’s terrifying to make yourself vulnerable to something you’ve never truly given free will to believe in. I’m over being scared, and I’ve committed myself to taking the plunge to ride this out.
Misery loves company. I’m finding that my miserable friends find me a lot less entertaining now that I’m not knocking around with anger and pessimism in regard to the being happy with my life. I can see that perhaps I was more entertaining to them when I had loads of hateful things to say at any opportunity in regard to others. But me, well, I’m glad I’m not miserable. This whole being content thing, I feel I can rock it dutifully.
If the sap in this made you puke, it’s okay. Sap still makes me puke at times too. I’m just glad I can believe in it. If the title tricked you into reading this, I also apologize. I mentioned no cheese. But I do love cheese: Gouda, Feta, Swiss, Colby. There’s your cheese, fools.
I love hearing that you’re happy. As someone who is a complete romantic (you can *totally* tell that from my blog, right?), I do believe in happiness.
I’m settling into it. It’s very nice. However, I remain slightly cautious about getting used to it.
I’m so happy to hear that you’re happy. For real. You deserve it, lady :) | http://shamelesssass.wordpress.com/2012/03/19/love-and-other-cheeses/ | 2014-12-18T05:33:46 | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | 1418802765616.69 | [] | 50 |

Just before the holidays, I snagged a great deal on a Silhouette Cameo bundle. It’s the ultimate consumer craft machine – between all the cut files from other designers and the ability to create my own cut files in Adobe Illustrator, the options for being creative are really limitless.
JAM Paper has an amazing selection of envelopes and paper sheets in every color and size you can imagine (and if that’s not enough, they also have wrapping paper, office supplies, and a whole host of other stuff). They sent me a package of ultra-versatile letter-size Kraft paper (and matching Kraft envelopes – both 100% recycled with post-consumer waste), and I knew pairing them with the Cameo’s power would let me make some cute and crafty Valentine’s Day treats.
I also had some sheets of colored cello lying around (like anyone would, of course) so I knew I wanted to make something to play with transparency and create a little piece of “love art” to hang up at home or the office.
See? It even says right on the package that it’s perfect for crafts!
I found some great heart-shaped word art to load up in the Cameo, and I sized it to fit my paper.
Watching the Cameo work is super-cool.
After the Cameo made the cut, I used a glue pen to adhere the cello to the cut. I was worried that it wouldn’t stick, but the cello clung right to the glue. Score! Once the glue dried, I trimmed around my heart shape and was able to stick it up on my window – the perfect little bit of color to brighten up my desk and celebrate love.
I was digging the cello and kraft combo, so I decided to go back to the Cameo once more and make a few *actual* Valentine’s to give out on Valentine’s Day. I found some cards I like and resized them so I could get two on a sheet – waste not, want not!
Once the Cameo was done cutting, I followed the same steps I used on my heart suncatcher – I used my glue pen to get in the delicate parts of the card and then carefully laid the cut design onto the cello. The cards turned out pretty snazzy, I must say. I think some other holidays call for this special treatment.
After all that, I think the envelopes felt a little left out. So I decided to punch a few holes.
Nope, these aren’t going in the mail. Jason is a nostalgic guy who’s not really into material gifts (which makes Christmas shopping that much more difficult). But since we’ve got a ton of pictures piling up on our hard drive, and I’ve even in some of them now that I’m not so ashamed of how I look, I figured he’d enjoy a handy photo album. The envelopes create pockets to store the photos in so I don’t have to tack anything down.
What crafty goodness is everyone else making to celebrate the season of love?
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

So you want to work out the percentage increase or decrease from 1156 to 2131? 2131 is 84.34%.
Percentage increase/decrease from 1156 to 2131?
An increase or decrease percentage of two numbers can be very useful. Let's say you are a shop that sold 1156 t-shirts in January, and then sold 2131131 and what we need to do first is subtract the old number, 1156, from it:
2131 - 1156 = 975
Once we've done that we need to divide the result, 975, by the original number, 1156. We do this because we need to compare the difference between the new number and the original:
We now have our answer in decimal format. How do we get this into percentage format? Multiply 0.84342560553633 by 100? Ding ding ding! We have a winner:
0.84342560553633 x 100 = 84.34%
We're done! You just successfully calculated the percentage difference from 1156 to 2131.! | https://nineplanets.org/percentage-calculator/what-is-percentage-difference-from-1156-to-2131/ | 2020-10-20T01:08:05 | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | 1603107867463.6 | [] | 78 |
Human trafficking heroes and villains: Representing the problem in anti-trafficking awareness campaigns
O'Brien, Erin (2016) Human trafficking heroes and villains: Representing the problem in anti-trafficking awareness campaigns. Social and Legal Studies, 25(2), pp. 205-224.
Abstract
Since the declaration by the United Nations that awareness raising should be a key part of efforts to combat human trafficking, government and non-government organisations have produced numerous public awareness campaigns designed to capture the public’s attention and sympathy. These campaigns represent the ‘problem’ of trafficking in specific ways, creating heroes and villains by placing the blame for trafficking on some, while obscuring the responsibility of others.
This paper adopts Carol Bacchi’s ‘What is the problem represented to be?’ framework for examining the politicisation of problem representation in 18 anti-trafficking awareness campaigns. It is argued that these campaigns construct a narrow understanding of the problem through the depiction of ‘ideal offenders’. In particular, a strong focus on the demand for commercial sex as causative of human trafficking serves to obscure the problematic role of consumerism in a wide range of industries, and perpetuates an understanding of trafficking that fails to draw a necessary distinction between the demand for labour, and the demand for ‘exploitable’ labour. This problem representation also obscures the role governments in destination countries may play in causing trafficking through imposing restrictive migration regimes that render migrants vulnerable to | http://eprints.qut.edu.au/93611/ | 2017-02-19T22:20:13 | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | 1487501170253.67 | [] | 96 |
So, life has been busy! I just finished the edits for NIGHTSHADE CITY last night, on my birthday no less. By birthday law the edits have to be great, right? Of course Nightshade will be getting one final read through before sending off to my editor, but they are done! I'm thrilled with the changes I made and hopefully my editor will be too. My rats are dear to my heart and I hope I did them proud!
EDWIN COPPERPOT should be off to my agent this week. Editors will finally meet my dead friend Edwin and I couldn't be more excited! He's got a lot to say, and quite eloquently I might add, for a guy who kicked the bucket in 1788.
Last but not least, my super thoughtful husband had our bakery make me a birthday cake out of my business card! They did such a nice job! And yes, if you couldn't tell, it's Halloween themed! Normally, I wouldn't put a severed finger, brains or eyeballs on a cake, although I might write about them! In fact, in Edwin I did!
If only there was more time in the day or I didn't need to sleep! Happy almost Halloween everyone!
xoxo -- Hilary
Happy Birthday, Hilary! Congrats on finishing your edits! And I love the cake - how sweet of your hubby! I can't wait to hear how Marietta likes Edwin (and news of your next sale of course!).
: )
Oh, Casey McCormick! I love the sound of that last part!!! Goose bumps!!
xoxo -- Hilary
Happy Birthday - sounds like good things are happening.
It's all so exciting! And that looks like a great cake, too. :)
Happy birthday! That cake rocks! Congrats on finishing up Edwin! Does your current editor get first crack or will you go out on sub immediately?
Thanks Patti and Janna!
Very exciting stuff! I have a lot to be thankful for this year! :)
I just had leftover cake and I ate way too much! Sugar rush! ;)

Exhibit
January 13 - April 24, 2016
Thompson Library Gallery
The Dancing in the Streets: Carnival from Britain, Brazil, and Beyond exhibit was curated by Nena Couch, Lesley Ferris, and Adela Ruth Tompsett with items from the collection of the Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee Theatre Research Institute at the Ohio State University Libraries.
Dancing in the Streets: Carnival from Britain, Brazil, and Beyond was an exhibition about the cultural expression of Carnival as developed by enslaved people who were transported from Africa. Carnival combines the Roman Catholic festival celebrated across Europe, then introduced by the colonizing Portuguese or French, with contemporary cultural mixing. In each case, this mixing significantly defines and tells the history of the country or specific city. This exhibit explored Carnival’s roots in slavery and emancipation, traditional characters that transmit the history of each festival, and the engagement of Carnival in socio-political issues. Visitors saw original Carnival costumes, photographs, artwork and videos of the dances as well as listened to samples of Carnival music.

Nov. 7, 2013
FRISCO, Texas – Lumberjack Anthony Gallardo was named the Southland Conference Freshman of the Year, announced by league officials in conjunction with the all-conference teams Thursday afternoon.
“Anthony has done a tremendous job all season and is very deserving,” head cross-country coach Cody Clark said. “I felt like going into the conference championships he had a shot at being top freshman and got the job done on the day, I am very proud of him.
“Anthony will have a great opportunity to do well at the South Central Region next Friday. If he starts the race a little smarter, then he can do well. It will be nice to see if he can be the top freshman in the region, which I think he can.”
Gallardo is the first 'Jack to win the freshman honor since Mitch Ownbey in 2008. The native of San Antonio, Texas, finished eighth (25:27.30) in the men’s 8,000-meter run to claim second team All-SLC honors at the SLC Cross Country Champions on Nov. 1.
The freshman was one of four SFA runners to land on the all-conference teams, joined by Nick Guerra (first team), Cody Brown (second team) and Laurie Byrd (second team). Guerra (25:03.00) finished third third overall, followed by Brown (25:16.30) in sixth (25:16.30), while Byrd (21:30.90) led the Ladyjacks with a sixth place finish in the 6,000-meter run.
The top-15 finishers in each race earned All-Southland Conference honors. The top five finishers earned first-team honors, while the next five finishers were named to the second team. The 11th through 15th finishers earned honorable mention all-conference honors.
SFA will continue its season with the NCAA South Central Regional on Nov. 15, in Waco, Texas.

Throughout the season, fans and sports reporters talk about must-win games. Coaches and players fall back on the predictable – but reasonable – rhetoric that every game is a must-win game. This time of year, it’s actually true. No win, no more basketball. Today, the team standing between the Kansas State Wildcats and some more basketball is the Wisconsin Badgers.
According to K-State head coach Frank Martin, keys to the game include keeping the Badgers out of rhythm and rebounding the ball.
“If you give them an offensive rebound, they’re either scoring or pulling it out, and now you are guarding for 30 more seconds and that makes it for a long possession,” Martin said.
Wisconsin is notorious for slowing down the game. In the Big 10 tournament, the Badgers lost to Penn State … 36-33. No I’m not kidding. That’s not a misprint – not the halftime score. They grind down the shot clock and then crash the boards to try and start the possession all over again and do the same thing.
This game will be, among other elements, all about the Js – Jacob Pullen and Jordan Taylor. It should be a pretty compelling matchup. Pullen said Taylor does a good job of using the shot clock, lulling defenders to sleep before taking over a possession. That means the Wildcats have to employ a little variety in stopping him.
“We have to do a great job of defending the ball screen and keeping him in a position where he doesn’t know what kind of defense we’re playing, whether we’re trapping it or soft hedging the ball screen,” Pullen said. “Just really keep him guessing. The other thing is we really got to make him guard. Whoever he is guarding, we have to make sure he plays 36, 37 minutes a game, we’ve got to make sure he is using his energy on both ends, not only on offensive end.”
While Frank Martin said it would be exceedingly difficult to slow down Wisconsin, he said his team has to keep Taylor out of rhythm, not allow him to get comfortable, and to keep him out of the paint.
“When he gets in the paint, then he forces help and then he finds shooters,” Martin said. “They put five shooters out there, four shooters, he is a shooter also, but four other guys outside of him, so then that puts tremendous pressure on your rotations to get to that next shooter. “
Working against the Badgers’ swing offense will be a challenge for the Wildcats, particularly for the forwards because Wisconsin’s big men step out further from the lane than, forcing their defenders to step out and guard further from the basket.
K-State senior forward Curtis Kelly will be one of the players handling this transition, likely matching up against Wisconsin’s Jon Leuer, a 6’10” forward who can shoot from 3-point range.
“I’m going to have to come off screens,” Kelly said. “Instead of dealing with a lot of cross screens I’m going to have to deal with a lot of down screens and stagger screens. And me being a big, that’s going to be a little difficult. But, you know, I’m going to try to do my best to guard the player they want me to guard as best I can.”
Martin said if his team allows Wisconsin to move the ball freely side to side and get it in the paint, the Wildcats will be in trouble because that means Kelly and fellow forward Jordan Henriquez-Roberts get dragged out of the lane, and those are the guys that protect the rim. However, the coach said K-State has faced similar scenarios before, such as playing Iowa State and trying to contain Diante Garrett coming off the ball screen.
“We’ll work on that some today and use some of the experiences from the season to hopefully get us as ready as we can,” Martin said. | https://fabuloussportsbabe.wordpress.com/tag/wildcats-basketball/ | 2018-10-15T20:10:24 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509690.35 | [] | 74 |

1997 DoD Briefing: ‘Others’ can set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely using electromagnetic waves –By Lori Price, 28 Feb 2010
‘yours,’ ‘others’ and ‘they’ with ‘U.S.,’ ‘U.S.’ and ‘U, ‘one of the foremost infectious disease researchers’ in the United States, who ‘got dizzy’ and his car fell off a bridge in Memphis, TN.
The bridge where his car was found is only a five-minute drive away and in the wrong direction from where he was staying, leaving authorities with a four-hour, unexplained gap until his vehicle was found. Now Memphis police are exploring several theories involving suicide, robbery and murder.
That’s just a ‘we-know-we’re-f*cking-with-you-and-there’s-not-a-damned-thing-you-can-do-about-it’ assassination that any detective on ‘Law & Order: Criminal Intent’ could wrap up in the first half-hour of the episode.

A Melbourne-based senior lawyer stands accused of sexually harassing a female co-worker, although his firm says the text-message relationship was consensual.
How should HR manage high-performing individuals with less-than-desirable behaviours?
A public servant who was injured while having sex on a work trip has won a compensation case – the Federal Government employee was injured when a glass light fitting came away from the wall above her bed in her motel room.
The incident took place in a motel room in a country New South Wales town in 2007, and the woman said the light hit her in the face, injuring her nose, mouth and a tooth and also prompted a psychiatric disorder.
The Government's workplace safety body, ComCare, rejected the woman's compensation claim and its decision was also upheld by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. However, after appealing the decision in Federal Court, the judge overturned previous findings and ordered her employer to pay compensation as well as her court costs. Judge John Nicholas said the appeals tribunal had been wrong in saying the woman had to prove her injury had been caused by an activity that had been “implied” or “encouraged” by her employer, pointing to an example that if the woman had been injured playing cards in her motel room she would receive compensation, and that the incident was no different. “There will be an order that the tribunal's decision be set aside. I shall also make a declaration that the injuries suffered by the applicant on November 27, 2007 were suffered by her in the course of her employment,” he said.
Compo cut flagged by NSW government
The O'Farrell government has indicated its intention to overhaul the state’s workers’ compensation requirements, flagging an end to weekly benefits from the scheme after a set period, and decreasing lump-sum payments.
An official announcement is expected to take place this week, and according to The Sun-Herald the changes would include:. | http://www.hcamag.com/hr-news/nsw-workers-compo-set-to-change-128353.aspx | 2016-02-06T00:05:56 | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | 1454701145578.23 | [] | 77 |

STICC maintains collaborative relationships with representatives of the communities most affected by syphilis and appropriate local groups with the goal of eliminating syphilis and other STIs from Texas communities.
Made up of concerned citizens of Houston and Harris County, as well as neighboring counties affected by syphilis. STICC meets 9 times per year, on the fourth Thursday of the month at 12pm.
Meetings are at:
Hiram Clarke Multi-Service Center
3810 West Fuqua
Houston, TX 77045
All meetings are open to the public.
STICC’s activities include:

I am extremely concerned that flash orders have further corrupted an already corrupt market. Allowing the investment houses this exception seems to be highly disadvantageous to smaller investors who cannot take advantage of the two-tiered trading system hidden from public view. Given the incredible amounts of fraud uncovered in the markets recently, to let this continue is a travesty to a free market. I have read that Goldman Sachs acknowledges they will make $8 billion from their trading software this year, and it is incredible to me that they know in advance how much their HFT software will skim from the markets. I would like to see a level playing field for all investors, so that these financial companies can't take advantage of others. I don't understand why these companies get such preferential treatment from the government and SEC when they pay almost no taxes, put the financial health of the country at risk, and skim money from investors using specialized software. | http://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-21-09/s72109-42.htm | 2015-02-27T04:13:48 | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | 1424936460472.17 | [] | 99 |
After previously announcing "Les Miserables" would be the headliner of its upcoming season, Orlando Shakespeare Theater has announced the rest of the shows planned for 2014-15. Among them: The classic "To Kill a Mockingbird" and two Shakespeare offerings, "The Merry Wives of Windsor" and "Henry V."
The New Play Series, which has undergone several permutations in the past few years, has been folded into the theater's Signature Series. But the annual festival of new plays, known as PlayFest, will continue. The theater will also continue its three-show Children's Series.
Variety was a key consideration in the theater's 26th season, said managing director PJ Albert.
"Our patrons have asked us to present Les Misérables for a number of years," Albert said. "holiday treat" is a retelling of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," adapted by Jim Helsinger, the theater's artistic director.
The Shakes' annual gala fundraiser will be Sept. 7 at the theater, 812 E. Rollins St., with "Les Miserables" opening the season Sept. 12-Oct. 12. "Les Miz" will feature a live orchestra and cast of 30 actors.
The musical is followed by previously announced "The Best of Enemies," (Oct. 15-Nov. 16) produced with the Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida. Mark St. Germain's play is based on a true story about the unusual relationship between a Ku Klux Klan leader and an African-American civil-rights activist.
Helsinger's adaptation of "A Christmas Carol," the story of Ebenezer's Scrooge's holiday change of heart, runs from Dec. 5-28.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" (Jan. 23-March 8, 2015) is Harper Lee's classic story of justice, racism, courage and compassion told through the eyes of the 6-year-old daughter of small-town lawyer Atticus Fitch.
The two Shakespeare plays run in repertory. "Merry Wives" (Feb. 6-March 7, 2015) is a comedy, complete with Shakespeare's familiar use of mistaken identities and cross-dressing as an impoverished knight simultaneously pursues two wealthy wives with disastrous consequences.
"Henry V" (Feb. 20-March 22) follows the young king of England as he learns what it means to be a leader and a man while trying to repair his broken nation after a bloody civil war.
The final show in the series is Jennifer Hoppe-House's "Bad Dog" (April 10-May 3, 2015). After 10 years of sobriety, Molly Drexler falls off the wagon in this comedic family drama with bite. "Bad Dog" was previously presented at the Shakes as a staged reading in last season's PlayFest. That festival will return Nov. 1-3, with readings of new works.
The 2014-2015 Children's Series includes an updated version of fairy tale "Rapunzel" (June 19-July 27); whirlwind travelogue "The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley" (Oct. 23-Nov. 23) and an adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic "James and the Giant Peach" (March 19-April 26, 2015).

I would like to begin my comments with a sincere thank you for Crossroads’ expressions of appreciation to myself
and our staff leadership. Your kind words, thoughtful cards, and generous monetary gifts are a sweet blessing. You
will never know just how much each one of those is multiplied by God’s grace for our joy and His glory.
November is seasonally a month in which we emphasize GRATITUDE. So, what is the best way to be grateful?
Gratitude is our response to God’s grace infiltrating every area of our lives. Gratitude eliminates entitlement,
terminates greed, and silences critical spirits. Within gratitude there is contentment, worship, and willing service.
Therefore recognizing and being thankful for all that God is, is best (this is the will of God, 1 Thess. 5:18). Being
grateful brings joy and true joy will always be accompanied by authentic gratitude. Therefore, I have come to the
following conclusions:
I want to live enjoying the world around me for the purpose of the glory of God.
God granted us this world in which we live. It is not perfect; it has wounds, inflicted by the sinful actions of
self-loving humans for ages. However, it is the world that God has given us. We are to enjoy this world, its
beauty, its bounty, its people. Oh, what joy God has granted us to see the awesome effects of His creative
power beneath, around, and above us! Oh, the pleasure to gather around tables of God’s gracious
provision! Oh, the precious people with whom we gather! God help us to enjoy You in each of these
moments. This is best.
I want to be careful to not make my children into idols, by building my life around their interests and activities, but
raise them in a God-centered world learning to love Him and live for others.
God has granted us the great blessing of children. In innocence they bring us undeniable joy. In
adolescence they bring challenges of development and training. In independence there is a new level of
faith growing in both the parent and child. May we treasure these children teaching them the ways of the
Lord: to love Him with all their hearts and to love others without regard for self. This is best.
I want to gladly use resources; my own, my community’s, and the church’s to accomplish these goals of personal
enjoyment and glory for God.
May the investment of all our resources, those that are monetary, those that are relational, those that are
intangible, be for the glory of God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May our time and talents
be used up and spent for Him and not for ourselves. May we enjoy every moment spent, every dime
allocated, and every friendship with which we are blessed. It is God’s will that we enjoy Him as we live in
this world for His glory. This is best.
The best way to be grateful is see the world in which I
live as a gift from God, to me, for Himself.
Your Pastor,
Bro. David | https://www.crossroadsbcfamily.org/2014/11/pastors-blog-things-give-thanks/ | 2018-10-15T12:24:31 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509196.33 | [] | 46 |

How is 2015 going for you so far? My hope is that each and every one of you are making the most of this year just past the halfway mark! Is it just me or does each year seem to fly by even faster than the last? It’s a little past the mid year mark but I still want to share my resolutions for the rest of the year. Life is about continual learning and there is always room for improvement whether big or small but the key thing is being honest with yourself upon reflection.
Right now there are 3 areas that I am focused on in terms of my own personal growth and development.
- Effective Time Management
Most of us struggle in this area including myself. Do you ever feel like at the end of your day that even though you were busy for hours that you have little to show for it? I’m not talking about doing simple daily activities or just being busy at your job. My question is, how valuable was each day to you and are you making progress with your “big picture” goals? What did you really get out of it?
Establishing a daily routine to achieve one’s ultimate goals & happiness is essential. Set up a personal schedule – be specific about how and what you spend your time on each day and then periodically measure how you did versus what you set out to get done.
- Declutter / Simplify
Simplifying life starts with getting rid of distractions. Distractions to me now are the “things” that no longer have any value. They might include unnecessary material possessions or desires but also time wasting habits such as TV watching, internet & social media browsing and the list goes on.
By decluttering these things (either in a physical or mental sense) it will certainly help divert my attention back on more important tasks that are truly value added.
- Learn Something New
There seems to be so much to learn that even the most aspirational person would have difficulty fitting it all in within a lifetime. Learning never stops. One of the things I continue to enjoy learning is anything that relates to creativity.
I’m going to take a few photography sessions before the year ends. I love being out in nature and capturing certain moments as things happen in real time with my camera. Learning basic camera skills will benefit my work as well so it’s a win-win really.
I must say however that all of the above mentioned are essentially meaningless unless I follow them almost religiously. I must push myself each & everyday. As the saying goes – compare yourself only to who you were yesterday. Be your own competition. Hope this can motivate you to reach your goals & dreams.

You are so cute. I feel like I have two really strong, definitive senses of style...one of which is also more bohemian, and the other...which is more super-retro-fem. I fluctuate between wanting to wear long & flowing prairie dresses, and peter pan collars and polka dots! : ) So every day is an adventure over here -- what Bridget are you gonna get? ; ) I feel like you're spot-on for the fundamentals of a boho wardrobe -- it's all about layering!
You definitely rock the boho look! I would love to incorporate it into my style more, especially if I could wear it during the week!
SUPER cute outfits!!
Definitely great tips and all are really reasonable I feel.
I like the boho chic look myself, but I don't feel like I personally could pull it off (even if I do have the long, wavy hair). But you wear it well.
I love the idea of "flowy" clothing. Definitely boho, and headbands of course!
Naturally Jes
Love them all!

Happy Thursday Junkies!! Today, I have a springy card to share with you! It actually fits the weather we have been having for a change! It's all fluttery and bright!
I adore this Palettini background image, called Vintage Botanicals Collage! It's so delicate and frilly!
It was the perfect image to combine with the Stained Resist technique from the Artistic Effects CD. You can learn more about this CD and all that it contains, HERE .
To finish off my project, I didn't want to cover up any of the technique piece so, I went with a simple sentiment from Technique Junkies and a sheer ribbon.
I hope you are inspired to get a little inky today!
TTFN, Jane

This is Meg & Patrick. She is gorgeous. He is handsome. They are perfect together.
Their wedding was held at the ever beautiful Church of the Precious Blood in Monmouth Beach, NJ . Adorned with bag pipes and the cutest flower girls and ring bearer ever, there ceremony was nothing short of wonderful. My favorite part of their ceremony was when Meg, Patrick and Meg's two sisters joined hands at the alter. Guh!! So intimate and lovely!!
Their reception was held at the classic Oyster Point in Red Bank, NJ. It was fabulously decorated by Elizabeth Susanna from E.S.Poused Events. She not only made the space incredible she was a huge help throughout Meg & Patrick's entire wedding day!!
Without further to do .. here is Meg & Patrick ... Enjoy!
What a great day! Wishing you both the best of everything... Congratulations!!!

>> stones and jewellery; a growing trend
China’s jewellery consumption is on the rise
According to the Gems & Jewelry Trade Association of China (GAC), the total consumption of jewellery in China exceeded 280 Billion RMB in 2012, and it is expected that the growth will continue through to 2013 with a predicted value of 338.2 Billion RMB. Although gold and diamond jewellery occupies the majority of the Chinese jewellery sector, in recent years the coloured gemstone market has become a rising star.
Diamonds
Diamond consumption in China has been through strong growth over the past 5 to 6 years, according to the Diamond Exchange import statistics, China is now the second largest global market after the USA. In 2011, the total diamond import and export trade value peaked at US$4.7 Billion, with an average annual growth of 40%. Chinese consumption demand decreased in 2012 following the global trend, dropping to US$3.8 Billion. Diamond jewellery imports also decreased by 22% to 1.58 Billion RMB.
Over the last decade the diamond culture has become more accepted in China as the consumer has become more knowledgeable in terms of selection and purchasing. Consequently, the diamond jewellery market is now able to offer greater variety to accommodate this growing demand. Although the majority of consumers still prefer traditional cut stones, there is a growing demand for those that are fancy cut.
Amongst the wealthy consumers, purchasing large stone size’s became a trend, as a way of demonstrate both status and wealth, the bigger the stone the more favoured it is. Over 2 carat stones are popular. A 5-carat ring can be seen being worn on the street, not only in tier one cities, but also tier two and three cities. And in the last 24 months, coloured diamonds have also started to become favoured by wealthy consumers for both investment and consumption. Yellow diamonds are very popular in China, while pinks are also starting to attract attention. Large scale Hong Kongnese jewellery brands have started to launch low-to-medium end coloured diamond jewellery in China, causing a rise in its popularity and price.
Coloured gemstones
Precious coloured stones have always been favored by Chinese wealthy consumers for both collection and consumption purposes. Due to the expensive nature of stones such as ruby’s, sapphire’s, and emerald’s as well as China’s traditional favourite jade, this sector is mostly associated with consumers aged over 40.
However, the market over the past two years has been changing with more international jewellery brands entering China, offering both precious and semi-precious coloured stone jewellery collections and younger wealthy consumers have become the new target for these brands.
China’s coloured gemstone market has the fastest growth rate globally, and with the increasing size of the middle class, the market potential is expected to be enormous. However, consumers have limited knowledge and need more guidance in the selection process, but the high importation tax of over 40% and the lack of quality and pricing standards have put limitations on the market development.
The wedding jewellery market
The wedding market in China continues to provide great growth potential for many sectors from property and interiors&furniture, to white goods, wedding services and of course jewellery. Diamond rings are still the major wedding jewellery choice and this trend will inevitably continue. The love of diamonds has already led to couples upgrading to rings with bigger stones at other occasions, such as anniversaries or the arrival of babies.
Official statistics predict that over the next 10 years, 14 Million new couples in China will marry every year. With the continuous improvement in income, the expected increase in consumption within the whole wedding market is large. The relative market size of affluent couples who could afford to buy a one-carat diamond engagement ring from a luxury brand is estimated to be 2.5 Billion RMB per year.
Collecting and investing in jewellery
With the latest property policy issued in March by the government restricting multiple home ownership, investment has moved into other areas including jewellery, and because gold prices are regarded as high already, and volatile, diamonds are now seen as a better investment option. As a result, large stones and coloured diamonds have already seen their market prices increase. However, the understanding of the investment value and selection of the right stones does not yet provide investors with returns, which is mainly due to the re-sale market being immature; auction house’s and Pawn stores being the two main resale channels. Diamond resale values in pawnshops are as low as 30 or 40%. So to fuel the diamond consumption, more jewellery brands have now started to offer buy back for customers wanting to upgrade.
Starting from early 2013, the diamond consumption and investment boom was triggered across the country. In Hangzhou Tower shopping mall, diamond transactions of over one Million RMB are common. Mr and Mrs Wang who are the owners of fashion company in Zhejiang bought a five carat D grade diamond for 1.5Million RMB in last year, and another two 2 carat diamonds recently. Mrs Wang also said that more and more of her rich friends are buying diamonds for anti-inflationary and appreciation value, some even consider buying diamonds abroad as part of an investment delegation.
Marketing and promotion in the jewellery sector
Media promotion
The Chinese jewellery market has two clear divisions; mass market consumption led by brands from Hong Kong, who started to enter the market in the 1990’s, and premium and luxury international brands, who arrived much later from about 2000 onwards, Cartier being the exception. These Hong Kong brands, such as Chou Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang and TSL, established a solid and reliable brand image compared to the local Chinese brands. We have selected 9 brands covering all levels of jewellery out of the 20 we routinely monitor to look at their development strategy in China.
Based on our analysis, our 9 jewellery brands have adopted part or parts of the following media channels for brand promotion:
- Print media: focusing on luxury and fashion magazines, business newspapers and magazines, and some local newspapers.
- Online media: Public information sites such as Sina style and QQ fashion; Luxury websites such as Apex and Chinese-luxury, Fashion sites including Onlylady, Yoka, ELLE and Vogue, and video sites such as Tudou, Youku and PPS.
- Outdoor media: in airports, outside luxury department stores and shopping malls.
- TV: the most popularly selected TV stations are CCTV channels 3, 6, 8 and 15, local satellite TV, the fashion & lifestyle channel, Shenzhen satellite, HuNan satellite, and SMG – Channel Young.
To expand quickly through China, mass market brands such as Chow Thai Fook and Chow Sang Sang adopted a franchise model in the main. They have been very aggressive in promotion not only through print media, but also online, TV and outdoor advertising. Although targeting mainly middle market, they have been seen in luxury magazines to improve their brand perception. Compared to the premium and luxury brands, they are both very active on Weibo, each with over 3,000 posts; in particular Chow Tai Fook has over 54,000 active Weibo followers.
For premium and luxury brands, TV advertising is much less used. Cartier is most active in all of the four media channels, with a much higher outdoor investment than their peers. Its outdoor advertising placement frequency is similar to that of the two Hong Kong brands mentioned above. In the period from December to March Cartier’s print media investment was double or treble that of other active brands, such as Bvlgari and Van Cleef&Arpels. Brands such as Cartier, Bvlgari and Tiffany all have high investment in online media, while brands such as Van Cleef&Arpels, Harry Winston and Graff mainly focus on print media.
Marketing
Tiffany was busy adding three new stores in the second half of 2012, in Nanjing, Shanghai and Harbin respectively, and its Diamond Pavilion touring exhibition started in Shenyang in January 2012. It also collaborated with Vogue by loaning jewellery piece’s to celebrities attending the ‘Fashion in Vogue 120’ opening ceremony. In an effort to further develop the wedding market the brand sponsored the highly publicised wedding of Olympic badminton champion, Lin Dan.
Chaumet has added 4 stores to its portfolio, in Shenyang, Tianjin, Wenzhou and Shanghai, at each store opening a celebrity such as Fala Chen, Yao Chen, or its brand ambassador Sophie Marceau were present. In addition to being the title sponsorship of the second Shanghai Debutants Ball, it has worked with over 15 magazines on product photo shoots, it also been actively involved in the Beijing Film festival, loaning products to several celebrities.
Bvlgari opened its first store in Wuxi and Xian, second store in Shenyang in 2012, and in January this year, it re-opened its store in Shanghai’s plaza 66. During this time it also worked with many Chinese celebrities during its promotional events, such as Zhang Jingchu, Angelababy, Ady An, and Zhang Yuqi. Capturing the Year of the Snake in its product design, Bvlgari held an official illumination ceremony of the SERPENTI light, which has now become an iconic photographic opportunity outside plaza 66 in Shanghai.
As a well-established brand in China, Cartier’s marketing effort has less involvement with celebrities, but is more focused on the brand itself. It is the first luxury brand to have launched its own micro film L’Odyssée de Cartier in China, which can be found on its own website and some Chinese video sites. The film has enhanced the brands leading position in the market both in terms of creativity and brand heritage.
By comparison, Van Cleef&Arpels has chosen to work with well-established celebrities such as the ex-bond girl, Michelle Yeoh, and famous actress GongLi. It has chosen to focus on the young consumer market by working with film stars Zhang Jingchu, and Huo Siyan, and by hosting events with ‘brides to be’ in Shanghai and Beijing, to improve its share of the wedding market.
The use of a touring jewellery collection has been adopted by Graff and Harry Winston, rather than working with celebrities.
Store distribution
The graph below shows the current number of stores for the luxury jewellery brands that we currently monitor. The number of stores cannot be directly linked to the period of time in the market, as many brands specifically position themselves as offering limited availability, and hence elevating their status.
The distribution density of the monitored luxury jewellery brands is shown below. The tier one cities of Beijing and Shanghai naturally have the greatest density of both brands with less than 10 stores in total and those with more than this number. However, we can see the brands that use scarcity as a value shown in red, open in the cities where there are a high number of wealthy consumers. As a benchmark, the Hong Kong mass-market jewellery brands will have 200+ stores across the country, which may also include tier four and five cities.

This year's RIMPAC (Rim of the Pacific) maritime military exercises have ended, and any attention we've given the biennial war games will quickly turn elsewhere. But before we let RIMPAC drop from view, it's worth pausing to consider what we've just witnessed (or not witnessed, since most of the RIMPAC takes place out of sight)..
As Obama accomplished something quite real in the Asia-Pacific his administration and the European Union pursued something unreal, announcing new sanctions against individual Russians for their involvement in Russia's strategy to foment discord in Ukraine and keep that nation, which is only a few hundred miles from Moscow, out of NATO. | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/asia-pacific-pivot/ | 2015-05-22T10:56:22 | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | 1432207924919.42 | [

Take Time to Pack
Start packing your travel bag a week before your flight. Don’t pack at the last minute because you think you won’t have time to choose your outfits. Give yourself a little time to pack your bag. Make a packing list that you can use every time you fly. Or open your bag a week before your flight date and begin collecting things in your suitcase when you think of them. Dinner, dancing, hiking, and swimming? Plan, plan, plan! If you do, there’s no other way you can over-pack and get hit with those tricky baggage fees. Also, reconsider getting a home baggage scale if you’re a regular over-packer.
Multi-Use Items
Why not carry a dress that converts into a beach cover-up, that turns into a sleeper? It can be done. Bring a plain black shift dress (or another solid neutral color) or a button-down shirt you can dress up or down – they will seem to be several different outfits but will only use a small amount of space. There are also several reversible shorts, pants, and shirts on the market for tourists.
Get a Lightweight Suitcase
Our suitcase is added to the last weight of your baggage, something obvious to forget. If you’re permitted 50 pounds weight in a marked bag, and the bag is already 10 pounds, (no this isn’t a math problem), and you will hardly have 40 pounds left. That’s 20 percent of your baggage allotment now gone! So do your analysis if you’re in the store to buy a new bag. Some brands are claiming lightweight tour bags.
Carry-On Ideas
You may have to pay for your baggage carry-on item on some flights these days, but you yet can travel with a backpack, messenger bag, or carryall bag at no additional cost. There are limitations to sizing on some planes, and it does have to fit under your front seat.
Buy After You Fly
It is one of my flying commandments for emphasizing about overlooking something when I’m flying. Just buy it when you land at your destination. But it also makes sense as a way to avoid luggage fees. I’m not telling you should buy your wintertime coat when you visit or anything hard to purchase.
Enroll in an Airline Credit Card
One exceptional airline credit card perk is they reserve baggage fees if you book your flight with that card. Gift: if you book your companion’s trip, the airline will ordinarily waive that baggage fee as well. But look into that before booking, since all credit cards have various limitations in the fine print.
Ship it
If you have a few fat bags, shipping your baggage pre-travel may be an excellent decision for saving money on additional baggage fees. This decision may take a few more efforts, but in the end, it may be the most cost-effective option when flying with a lot of gear or a large family. | https://www.cheapfareguru.com/fly-away/7-tips-to-avoid-baggage-fees-while-flying-internationally/ | 2022-09-24T19:05:28 | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | 1664030333455.97 | [] | 102 |

Using The Whole Bird: Parts of a Turkey You Didn’t Know You Could Eat
Now that Thanksgiving and Christmas are over, odds are that you think you’ve eaten enough turkey to last a lifetime. Hold that thought though, because maybe you’re selling that ugly, delicious bird short. There is plenty more to a turkey than just its breast, leg and dark meat. No, my friends, welcome to the wonderful world of offal. No, don’t screw up your face, let me take you there…
What is offal?
In this case, I’m referring to the turkey’s neck, heart, gizzards and liver. They’re all delicate treats and there are a variety of ways of preparing them that will make you question why people don’t indulge more readily. Let’s start, as is customary in life, with the neck and this amazing recipe from New Orleans:
Smothered New Orleans Turkey Necks?
This serves 6 people very generously – take note of your appetite and augment if need be!
125ml oil of your choice – I find groundnut particularly good in this recipe
1.8kg turkey necks with their skin removed
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp coarsely ground black pepper
2 tsp ground onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
240g mushrooms, chopped
300g chopped onion
120g diced celery
120g pepper (red or yellow)
6 cloves of garlic, minced
A hearty handful of fresh parsley, minced
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
½ tsp mixed herbs
120g plain flour
80ml sherry
120ml chicken stock
2 bay leaves
1tsp paprika
1kg cooked rice
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C.
Heat a heavy-duty skillet on the stove, a medium heat should be about right.
Drop in the oil and heat it until almost smoking (this is so you can ‘seal’ the necks)
Whilst the oil heats, generously season the necks with salt, pepper, basil and the ground garlic and onion.
Then, place them carefully in the oil and fry until they are brown on all sides. Then remove them to a cooling rack to drain off the excess oil.
In the same pan, fry the onions, peppers, garlic and mushrooms until they are soft and golden. Then add the parsley, Worcestershire sauce and flour.
Return the necks to the pan and stir, making sure each neck is coated in the vegetable/flour mixture.
Then, add the chicken stock, sherry, bay leaves and paprika.
Mix everything together and then cover the pan and pop it in the preheated oven.
Roast the necks for around 90 minutes, by which time they should have cooked very nicely in their own juices and produced a rich gravy. Check on it occasionally and add sherry or stock as needed.
During this time, you can cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
As soon as they’re done, serve immediately over a bed of rice, making sure to ladle all the lovely gravy over everything. It’s not exactly the most healthy of turkey recipes, but it’s certainly one of the most delicious.
Turkey Liver
This is lovely just served on toast – really! You may have eaten liver before and no enjoyed it, but it’s possible that it wasn’t prepared to its best advantage. Those in the know soak liver in milk a little while before preparing it to remove any traces of blood and to soften the rather robust flavour. All you need to do is soak it for a couple of hours, rinse it under the cold tap and then lightly fry in oil or butter. Give it a go, you may just surprise yourself with this secret chef’s treat.
Turkey Heart & Gizzard
The heart can be, well, the heart of any recipe. Just use your meat grinder and add to any savoury dish for a shot of intense turkey flavour. The gizzard is actually the muscle that birds use instead of teeth to break down food for digestion – if you flash fry the gizzard, searing it all over and add it to any stock, it’ll give a real depth to the recipe. Experiment, play around and be brave – after all, that’s what cooking’s all about!

Poland’s international reserves contracted 2.1% m/m to PLN394.4bn (€94.5bn, $113.3bn) in December, data released by the National Bank of Poland (NBP) showed on January 5. In annual terms, Polish forex reserves fell 17.5% in the last month of 2017.
The monthly fall in December came on the back of reductions across all main segments. The monetary gold reserves fell 0.9% m/m to PLN14.9bn. SDRs fell 1.4% on the month to PLN1.49bn.
Poland’s reserve position in the IMF fell 5.3% m/m to PLN1.85bn. There was also a fall of 2.1% in the foreign exchange reserves segment to a total of PLN376.1bn. In euro and US dollars terms, the reserves also fell m/m in December.
The NBP invests foreign exchange reserves in standard instruments used by central banks. The majority of investments are in government securities, although some volumes are invested in securities issued by international institutions and government agencies. A small part of the foreign exchange reserves is held as deposits at highly rated banks abroad or in gold. | http://www.intellinews.com/polish-foreign-reserves-fall-in-december-134715/?source=poland | 2018-09-18T19:26:06 | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | 1537267155676.21 | [] | 99 |

Author: Nathan Heinicke-Peart
When you decide to go for a sail, race a boat, or go kayaking, tubing, or canoeing, the open-water is a great way to enjoy some relaxation, ease your stress levels, and have some recreation. On the water, time seems to slow down and cares melt away.
At the same time, boating holds its share of challenges and risks. The Coast Guard reported almost 4,500 boating accidents in 2016, with over 700 fatalities and almost 3,000 injuries.In most cases, boaters cannot see what is below the surface of the water, so the depth of the water is unknown. Currents may swirl beneath the surface and submerged objects may pose risks to boaters of all ages and abilities.
Here are some tips to help you take your boat out safely and enjoy your time sailing, paddling or boating.
Research the Weather
When you go out in the open water, check the local weather to see the conditions of the waves, depth, and tides before you leave on your adventure. You can always look at local TV and radio forecasts for this information. Also understand that weather can change rapidly. A sunny and calm morning can turn into a rain storm, rough waves, and darkness in a short time span:
“If you notice darkening clouds, volatile and rough changing winds or sudden drops in temperature, play it safe by getting off the water”.
Have at Least Two People Who Can Navigate the Boat
When you take your boat out for an adventure, most of the people on the boat should know the basics of swimming and boating. If you do not know the basics, make sure that at least two people with you are familiar with all aspects of your boat, kayak, or canoe and general boating and safety.
“If the primary navigator is injured or incapacitated in any way, it’s important to make sure someone else can follow the proper boating safety rules to get everyone else back to shore”.
Always Use Life jackets
The majority of drowning victims that are related to boaters are from not wearing life jackets. To prevent these accidents, all people on the boat MUST wear life jackets or preservers.
“Make sure that your family and friends aren’t part of this statistic by assigning and fitting each member of your onboard team with a life jacket prior to departure”.
When you are in doubt, it is best to wear it, even you are sitting on the boat.
Avoid Alcohol
Boating experts and analysts say that alcohol and boating do not mix well. The driver of the boat should drink no alcohol until the boat is safely moored on shore. Passengers should try to avoid alcohol as well.
“The probability of being involved in a boating accident doubles when alcohol is involved and studies have shown that the effects of alcohol are exacerbated by sun and wind”.
Learn to Swim
Of course, if you’re going to be in and around the water, boating safety includes knowing how to swim. Whatever your age or abilities, consider taking lessons to prepare you for any sort of challenge in the water.
“Local organizations, such as the American Red Cross and others, offer training for all ages and abilities. Check to see what classes are offered in your area”.
Know the Weight Limit of your Boat
When you have a boat, please look at how many people and how much weight you can take on the boat. You should always know how many people can fit on the boat comfortably and safely, and how many pounds your boat can hold.
“Never exceed the weight capacity of your boat and always check your equipment for wear and tear before you paddle”
Always use Caution when on a Tube
Tubing is another fun activity that is popular here in Richmond. However, you do need to be safe with tubes as well. As a tuber, you must always check waves and water levels.
“It’s especially important to travel at slower speeds and keep an extra careful eye out if you are boat tubing with more than one tube”.
Even for advanced tubers, caution is still required. Tubes can flip in high water and rapids, and it is a good idea to go slowly and avoid being carried farther along by currents than you intended. | http://www.swimrichmond.org/blog/tips-to-boating-safety/ | 2019-09-15T15:03:33 | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | 1568514571506.61 | [] | 90 |

We create a unique and memorable experience for bride, groom and every friend and family member in attendance.
Here are a few of our favorite ways to use eucalyptus to make your wedding one you’ll remember forever!
Ways to Use Eucalyptus for Your Wedding
- Arrange it in your bouquet. Eucalyptus adds a soft and beautiful filler to any floral bouquet. Or, opt for a eucalyptus-only bouquet for a simple yet memorable style!
- Use it in a floral crown. Eucalyptus crowns or halos are beautiful for bride, bridesmaids and even flower girls.
- Incorporate in corsages and boutonnieres. Don’t leave out the rest of the bridal party! The groom and his groomsmen will love the simplicity of eucalyptus, and your mother-in-law will love the scent of her corsage!
- Arrange in the centerpieces. Eucalyptus makes a gorgeous centerpiece, especially when paired with succulents, roses, or bright florals! Be sure to mist the centerpieces with our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist to enhance the aroma.
- Fashion as a table runner garland. Lay branches of eucalyptus down the table runners as a garland – and don’t forget to spray a few touches of our mist!
- Use a floral wreath as an altar backdrop. Like your bouquet, eucalyptus is beautiful all on its own or when paired with other florals. The design is up to you!
- Give to the flower girl to toss instead of petals. The eucalyptus leaves will add a unique look to your aisle runner.
- Give to guests to toss during your grand exit! Some wedding parties toss bird seed, some light sparklers, but eucalyptus is a sweet and simple way to make your wedding unlike any other.
- Give out mini-bouquets as favors. Guests will love taking home a few branches of eucalyptus. Pair with a tea light candle for a favor they’ll be sure to use and set out in their home.
- Our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist in travel size makes the perfect favor for a eucalyptus-themed wedding! Guests will enjoy remembering your special day every time they spray the mist.
Planning on using eucalyptus in your wedding? Don’t forget a bottle of our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist to spray throughout your day to create unique and lasting memories!

Right on the heels of news that Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth married after all comes another cause for celebration in Arkansas:
Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell got engaged!
The 22-year-old and his 18-year-old fiancee announced their courtship just a few months ago, and just made things even more official.
When he proposed … at Joy-Anna Duggar’s wedding!
People magazine was the first publication to confirm that he popped the question right after his little sister, 19, walked down the aisle.
The pair, who met through their church, confirmed it.
“We are super excited. It’s great to not be courting anymore, now we’re engaged!” Joseph Duggar and his beaming bride-to-be shared.
“I’m so happy and so shocked. There’s so many words I want to say, but just shocked,” says Kendra, while Joseph revealed:
“I was definitely nervous going into it, but I wasn’t afraid that she was going to say no, because she has said, ‘I’m just waiting on you!'”
Not a lot of marriage proposals get turned down in Duggar Nation, it’s true. A courtship, after all, is basically a precursor to an engagement.
When news of Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell courting first surfaced in March, few expected they would not get engaged soon.
We just weren’t expecting quite this soon!
“We are so excited to share the news with others that we are courting,” Joseph said then. “Our families are close friends through church.”
“This has allowed Kendra and me to get to know each other. She’s the best!” Duggar added, and obviously, the feeling was quite mutual.
“I’m looking forward to getting to spend more time with Joseph as we take this exciting step toward a new season in life,” Kendra added.
“It’s a really wonderful moment!”
Counting On Season 4, featuring Joy-Anna and Austin’s wedding, and Joseph asking Kendra’s dad’s permission to court, begins June 12.
Not much of a spoiler to say that the scene teased in the Counting On Season 4 trailer ends up with a positive result for Joe in the end.
As for talk that Joseph got Kendra Caldwell pregnant before marriage and that’s why this is being fast-tracked even by Duggar standards?
It makes for great gossip … but that’s likely all it is. The Duggars stick to their guns when it comes to their dating and courtship rules.
Much as we’d all love a great rebellion story along those lines, we’ll have to be content with mini-scandals like Jinger wearing shorts.
Probably for the best.
At this stage, we still know relatively little about the next Duggar in-law, but as you might expect, she comes from a similar background.
Kendra and her sister Lauren both captured the attention of Counting On fans during Jinger Duggar’s wedding episode last season.
The sisters, along with Joy-Anna’s now-husband Austin Forsyth, all helped assemble a large “V” made out of roses for that wedding.
When that installment aired on TLC, the prevailing wisdom among the fans who watch Counting On online was exactly this scenario:
Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell were secretly courting, or getting to know each other in anticipation of that very strong possibility.
As for part two of the dual-Caldwell courting rumor?
Either Jedidiah or Jeremiah Duggar is rumored to be interested in Lauren, though it remains unclear at press time if that’s legitimate.
Regardless … congrats Joseph and Kendra!!

This prospective interventional case series of 23 eyes of 15 subjects demonstrated that centripetal movement of the ciliary body induced with 2% pilocarpine hydrochloride (OcuCarpine, Samil Pharm. Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea) significantly improved after cataract extraction. The study's results implicated a lenticular sclerotic component as the cause of decreased accommodation with aging. However, other causes, such as changes in the relationship of the capsular bag equator to the ciliary body or geometric changes in the ciliary body following cataract extraction, could not be ruled out as contributory factors for the apparent increase in ciliary body movement following cataract extraction.
The study's authors used ultrasound bimocroscopy (UBM) to measure the contractility of the ciliary muscle in presbyopic eyes before and 30 minutes after instilling pilocarpine both before and after cataract surgery. The surgery involved phacoemulsification and aspiration through a clear corneal incision, followed by implantation of an AcrySof SA60AT foldable IOL (Alcon Laboratories Inc., Fort Worth, Texas).
UBM performed before cataract extraction after instillation of pilocarpine revealed only subtle movement of the ciliary body, which was not significantly different from the results obtained before pilocarpine administration. But pilocarpine instillation induced significant ciliary body movement, as measured with UBM, after cataract surgery.

Don’t talk to me until I’ve had coffee
The first thing I do in the morning is let out the chickens and clean the coop. Then coffee. Always coffee. River of Dreams is perfect to knit while my brain is absorbing caffeine from the coffee to wake up. Usually, I have Instagram stories playing. I knit about 10-12 rows a day. true too, is i move a little slow in the mornings. So now you can understand why it’s taking so long to finish.
You will remember from previous posts, the pattern River Of Dreams by Lauren Rene, was written in conjunction with the anniversary of LYS Flying Needles. I love that this shawl has a playful mix of colorful stripes throughout. The yarn I’m using was a kit from the shop created for this shawl. It also included an exclusive color, River Of Dreams, there are five colors in all. I’d say I’m about 75% done with my shawl.
Some changes I incorporated
I decided to work a garter stitch border rather just Stockinette as the pattern is written. I knit 10 rows of Garter giving me 5 ridges, then 5 stitches of Garter on each end. It’s my preference that the edges
This shawl has so many stripes. The pattern calls for you to cut the yarn after each stripe. Instead, I’m carrying the yarn up the right-hand side when that yarn color will be used again. When doing this it’s important to ensure you cross your two yarns every other row in order to “catch” the carried yarn. Also, you should NEVER pull the carried yarn tight.
Carrying the yarn up the side will minimize the number of ends I’ll have to weave in, and I hate weaving in ends. If you are working in Stockinette, I recommend slipping the first stitch of each row as this will help hide the carried yarn.
I’m at the point in the pattern that calls for knitting 46 rows in color #1. But I think I might run out of Color #1. Instead of knitting the 46 rows as instructed, I’m working my own series of stripes within the 46 rows. So, I’m mixing up the colors #4, #5 and #1.
Other finished River of Dreams
I have seen two finished shawls. One shawl I saw at Knit Night at Flying Needles. It was knit by a man named Taylor. He knit his shawl using oranges and purples. It turned out really nice.
Another finished shawl I saw was knit by Lauren, the designer of the pattern. She was wearing her finished shawl at the anniversary sale. Lauren knit hers in the same colors that I am knitting mine. As a matter of fact, her shawl is why I picked the colors I did. And as a bonus, the kit had an exclusive color.
Will I ever finish this?
Currently, I’m knitting more on the body of my sweater than my shawl. I have a couple inches until I start the cable section and the underarm gussets. Then it will require more attention. My shawl will return to TV knitting.
Six people have this project entered in on Ravelry, including my own. Three are finished projects, three are works in progress. I intend to finish my shawl, changing the count to four finished and two in progress.
What’s my Time Frame for Finishing
My goal is to finish the River of Dreams shawl by the end of February. This is totally doable. Plus, I can get back to knitting my socks and finish those for March.
Obviously, the January Gansey sweater is intended to be knit within January. This won’t be finished in January unless I really pick up my pace. Better get on that.
Happy Knitting.

So gorgeous! I totally would carry the other color up the side as well! Weaving in all those ends would make me cray cray!!
Beautiful! YoureY motivating me to learn to knit!
Your work is inspiring! Plus you clean the coop daily!?!
Thank you! Yes, I do clean it every day. I have sand on the floor and a poop deck under the roosts. Takes less than 5 minutes including checking the waterers and giving them scratch. You can see the layout in this older post. I will have to do an updated coop tour soon.
This is a captivating design! My knitting is not this advanced yet, but I’m working towards that goal!
No no no! I know you said only takes five minutes to clean up the chicken poop but is that something I would not sign up for. Same reason I don’t have a dog. LOL I get so excited when I see all your wonderful projects because I then get inspired to finish my knitting projects. I miss having you help me in all my Knitting boo-boos but somehow I struggle through with a little help from knitting friends. Happy Knitting and as always I love hearing about life in your neck of the woods.
I’m glad I’m inspiring you. I miss our Monday’s together the most.
You’re so talented!! Can’t wait to see the finished product. | https://kymhretz.com/river-of-dreams/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2019-05-19T10:57:03 | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | 1558232254751.58 | [

A comprehensive guide to city, state, and federal services
Dear Fellow New Yorkers:.3 million immigrants living in New York City define our culture and help to power our economy every single day.
However, 2018 has ushered in a sense of insecurity for New York’s immigrant communities. It is against this challenging backdrop that today I am presenting an updated version of my office’s Immigrant Rights and Service Manual, a resource guide that my office has produced since 2015 and is now printed in ten languages (Bengali, Chinese, French, Korean, Haitian Creole, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Urdu, and English). This updated manual includes information that I hope will be relevant to immigrant communities in the five boroughs. With changes to immigration policy at all levels of government, the 2018 guide includes new sections on the rights of undocumented immigrants, guidance on how to report hate crimes, and answers to questions about the benefits — and limitations — of being a “Sanctuary City” like New York. In addition, the manual includes materials about:
- Emergency contact resources for those fearing deportation;
- Legal and social service providers;
- Public benefit programs;
- Worker’s rights;
- Small business assistance;
- Consumer rights; and
- A range of other issues relevant to immigrants living in New York..
While much of our nation’s immigration policy is made at the federal level and therefore out of the control of City officials, as one of the leaders of City government, I will continue to do all I can to ensure that immigrants feel safe and secure in their homes and are able to realize their dreams in New York City. Where the City’s laws and policies need improvement, I will stand with immigrants and community leaders to push for such changes.
If you have any questions about this manual, or any other issue, please do not hesitate to reach out to my office’s Community Action Center by sending an email to action@comptroller.nyc.gov or calling 212-669-3916.
Sincerely,
Scott M. Stringer
Know Your Rights
Everyone has important legal rights, regardless of their immigration status. Be aware of your rights and what to do to protect yourself and your family.
What is immigration enforcement doing differently now?
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is the main federal government agency responsible for enforcing immigration law. ICE can deport people without lawful immigration status and people with status (e.g., lawful permanent residents / “green card holders”, refugees, etc.) who have certain criminal convictions. On January 25, 2017, President Trump issued a new executive order that expands the detention and deportation priorities of ICE. This means that certain immigrants who can be deported may be at greater risk of being deported now.
Are there new restrictions on travel?
On March 6, 2017, President Trump issued an executive order to try to restrict travel into the U.S. for refugees and some people from certain countries. A lawsuit was immediately filed challenging that order, and a federal court suspended the order, stopping it from taking effect until the lawsuit is resolved. You should consult an immigration attorney or call the New York Immigration Coalition at (212) 627-2227 to confirm if any travel restrictions have become effective since the publication of this guide.
If you are an immigrant, even if you have lawful immigration status, you should consult with an immigration attorney or Board of Immigrant Appeals-accredited representative before you travel outside the U.S.
If you plan to travel inside the U.S. or internationally, bring government-issued identification such as a driver’s license, your passport, and valid immigration documents such as a green card or visa papers. Do not surrender your green card or sign anything unless your attorney is with you. If you are asked to sign a form to surrender your green card, you should refuse to do so.
Airport officials are permitted to search your belongings and your person. Carefully observe any search. Keep a record of details of the search, including names and identifying information about the airport officials. Ask for receipts for confiscated property.
If you are facing deportation and need a lawyer, you may ask for a lawyer by calling the State Office of New Americans Hotline at (800) 566-7636.
Am I at risk of being arrested by ICE?
The law allows the federal government to deport certain immigrants, including:
- Any undocumented immigrant (person without lawful immigration status),
- People with lawful immigration status (e.g., lawful permanent residents, refugees, and visa holders) who have certain criminal convictions.
What do I do if immigration enforcement officers approach me?
In all situations:
- You have the right to remain silent. If you wish to remain silent, you may say that out loud.
- Do not run away.
- You may use your phone to take notes and photos of what happens. You may also film or take a video of what happens. If you take photos or take a video, you should do it openly (not secretly) and not interfere with what the officers are doing. You should also decide if it is safe to reach for your phone during an encounter with enforcement officers.
- Do not lie. Do not show false or invalid documents.
- You have the right to speak to your attorney.
- Do not sign anything without speaking to your attorney.
If you are in public:
- Before you say your name or anything else, ask, “Am I free to go?” If they say yes, you may walk away. If they say no, do not walk away. Tell them you wish to remain silent and you want to speak to an attorney.
- If you have a “Know Your Rights Card” you may show that.
If you are at home:
- Be aware: ICE agents sometimes announce themselves as “police.”
- Before opening the door, ask if they are immigration agents. Politely say, “I don’t want to talk right now.”
- Without opening the door, ask whether they have a warrant signed by a judge. If they say they have a warrant signed by a judge, request they slip it under the door or put it against a window. If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you do not have to let them in.
For more information on your rights during encounters with ICE or to report ICE enforcement activities that happened in New York City, call the Immigrant Defense Project at (212) 752-6422.
Promoting Access to Benefits and Services for Immigrants
The City of New York is committed to making sure all residents, regardless of immigration status, feel safe seeking essential City services, such as health services, public schools, certain public benefits, emergency services, police protection, and many other services and benefits. The City prohibits its employees from asking about immigration status unless they need the information to determine eligibility for services or benefits, or unless it is required by law. The City requires that immigration status be kept confidential except in limited circumstances when required by law.
In addition, the City of New York does not assist the federal government in enforcing federal immigration law except in limited situations where it is required by law. To learn more about the City’s policies to support and protect immigrants, you may visit the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs website at:.
The key City policy that promotes access to City services for immigrants is Executive Order 41. Under Executive Order 41, all immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, are encouraged to seek the City’s services, benefits, and programs that they are eligible to receive. In addition, Executive Order 41 generally requires City employees to protect the confidentiality of a person’s immigration status and other kinds of personal information.
Some government benefits and services are available only to people with certain types of immigration status. In those cases, it is necessary for a City employee to ask about immigration status to determine a person’s eligibility. However, many services, such as public health, safety, and education services are available to immigrants of any status, including undocumented immigrants. A list of services available to undocumented immigrants can be found in the “Public Benefits” section on page 14.
WHAT DOES EXECUTIVE ORDER 41 REQUIRE?
- If you are the victim or witness of a crime, or if you call or approach the police seeking assistance, police officers cannot inquire about your immigration status.
- However, if police officers suspect illegal or criminal activities, they may ask about your immigration status and/or ask you to disclose that information.
- If you go to a City agency to request certain services or benefits, City employees cannot ask you about your immigration status unless it is required by law or necessary to determine whether you are eligible to receive those services or benefits.
- If you share your immigration status or other confidential information with City employees, they will not report this information to anyone, except in limited circumstances such as when required by law.
If you have complaints about possible violations of Executive Order 41, you may complain to the City agency where you believe the violation happened. You may also contact the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs by calling 311.
NYC PROTOCOL FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT
To help ensure that New York City public schools are safe places for students and families, the City announced a protocol in 2017 for how public schools should respond to requests from federal law enforcement officers, including immigration enforcement officers. Under this protocol, if a federal enforcement officer or immigration enforcement officer approaches a public school, the school will ask the officer for detailed information about the nature of the visit and whether the officer has any paperwork or warrants. The school will then instruct the officers to wait outside of the school building while school staff consult with attorneys at the New York City Department of Education (DOE). Public schools will not give any information to such officers or allow such officers to enter any schools unless it is absolutely required by law.
To see the protocol, visit this link:
Language Access Rights
A person who does not speak or read English proficiently has the right to ask government agencies, including schools, health clinics, and social service offices, for translation or interpretation services. It is generally inappropriate for children or relatives to be used as interpreters in many matters. Many government agencies are required by law to provide language access in languages other than English.
Language access includes:
- “Translation,” which means translating a document in writing. This can include translating important letters, notices, instructions, and other documents into different languages; and
- “Interpretation,” which means orally interpreting spoken information into a different language. This can include having a live interpreter present at a meeting or having an interpreter on the phone.
LOCAL LAW 73: EQUAL ACCESS TO HUMAN SERVICES
Local Law 73 requires that four major City health and human service agencies provide a certain amount of language access services. These agencies must follow Local Law 73:
- Human Resources Administration (HRA)
- Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH)
- Administration for Children’s Services (ACS)
- Department of Homeless Services (DHS)
A person with limited English proficiency who seeks or receives benefits from one of these agencies must be provided certain kinds of free language assistance. These agencies run certain job centers, food stamp offices, medical assistance program offices, and other social service offices.
Each of these agencies has a policy stating what language assistance they provide. HRA, which can help you obtain food stamps, Medicaid, and many other benefits, is required to provide certain important documents translated into Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Haitian Creole, Korean, and Russian. HRA must also make sure that persons who need language assistance do not have to wait significantly longer for service than others. DHS, ACS, and DOHMH are required to provide meaningful language assistance and services.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 120: LANGUAGE ACCESS
The Mayor’s Executive Order 120 requires that all City agencies providing direct public services provide a meaningful amount of free translation and interpretation services to people who need it. Every City agency was required to have a language access policy in place starting in January 2009. Agencies are required to provide assistance in the top six languages spoken by the population of New York City. These languages are determined by the NYC Department of City Planning using US Census data.
To get more information about free language services available at City agencies, you may call 311 and ask for the specific agency you are interested in, or ask for the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs.
Deportation and Detention
WHO IS AT RISK OF BEING DEPORTED?
Any non-U.S. citizen, including green card holders, could be at risk of being deported if they are convicted of a crime, have an old deportation order, or are simply undocumented. Deportation for criminal convictions is a risk even if the crimes were minor, happened a long time ago, and if the person served no time in jail or prison.
If you are at risk of deportation and feel you need an attorney, you should try to find an attorney who specializes in deportation. If you have criminal convictions, you need an attorney who understands criminal law as well as deportation. For information regarding legal services that can help with a deportation case, please refer to the Resource Directory section of this manual.
A 2010 Supreme Court decision, Padilla v. Kentucky, requires criminal defense attorneys to advise their clients about the potential adverse immigration consequences of their criminal charges. This means that a criminal defense attorney must advise the client on whether a conviction will make him or her deportable, subject to immigration detention, unable to obtain lawful status or citizenship, or impact his or her ability to return safely from a trip abroad. If a defense lawyer does not provide this advice, the client might be able to challenge the conviction, even if he or she pled guilty.
NEW YORK CITY RESTRICTIONS ON IMMIGRATION DETAINERS
The City’s passage of Local Laws 58 and 59 in 2014 further restricted the circumstances in which the City can honor detainer requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). A detainer is a request sent by ICE asking a local or state government entity to detain a person whom ICE intends to take into custody. The laws generally prohibit the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and the Department of Correction (DOC) from honoring immigration detainers in most but not all cases. NYPD and DOC will only honor immigration detainers under the following circumstances:
- ICE presents a warrant issued by a federal judge establishing that there is probable cause to take the person into custody, and
- The person has been convicted of a “violent or serious crime” within five years of the arrest or is a possible match on the terrorist watch list.
The laws also prohibit ICE from keeping an office in the Rikers Island Correctional Facility.
WHAT TO DO IF AN INDIVIDUAL IS DETAINED
If you are detained in immigration custody, you are not obliged to say anything about your immigration status or sign anything giving up your right to an immigration hearing or any other rights. You have the right not to respond to questions about your status. You should not sign any document without speaking to your attorney.
If you are the family member or loved one of someone being detained, make sure you keep this person’s full name and aliases, alien registration number, date of birth, the date he or she entered the U.S., any criminal record, contact information for their past and present immigration and criminal lawyers, and all other immigration paperwork.
If you want to find your family member or loved one being detained, contact the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office. You may also contact your Consulate. Lastly, you may contact individual detention centers. For more information you may contact the Detention Watch Network website.

WHAT IS THE GOVERNOR’S PARDON?
The New York State Governor is able to grant pardons to remove some of the consequences related to a criminal conviction. For immigrants who are documented (such as green card holders) or undocumented, a pardon can help to prevent mandatory deportation or bar to lawful status.
WHO CAN APPLY FOR A PARDON?
Any person who has been convicted of a criminal offense (or violation) in New York State can apply for a pardon. Learn more at.
A gubernatorial pardon does not guarantee in every case that there will no longer be any immigration consequences. Even a pardon cannot entirely eliminate certain offenses for immigration purposes. Nevertheless, a pardon may remove a criminal bar to lawful status for an undocumented person, or eliminate either the risk of deportation or mandatory deportation for a documented person with a criminal conviction.
To learn more about how a pardon could impact your immigration case, contact the Immigrant Defense Project at 212-725-6422 or info@immdefense.org.

Parents wishing to register their children for Pre-K programs in New York City may contact the DOE in order to register their child. You may find out how to enroll your child into a Pre-K program by calling (718) 935-2009 or by visiting the DOE website at:
NewStudents/default.htm.
For all high schools and some middle schools, students are not assigned to zoned schools but go through an application process and have some school choice. For more information about middle school and high school enrollment, call 311 or visit
NewStudents/default.htm.
To register, students must show the following documents:
- Proof of home address (only certain records may be accepted as proof),

- Child’s immunization records,
- Child’s transcript or latest report card (recommended, but not required),

education services.
If a student does not have all required documents for registration, the school must still immediately allow the student to attend school. The school must then try to obtain the additional documents.

Yes. For more information about such programs, you may contact the Department of Education at 311, visit, or call Advocates for Children at (212) 947-9779.

Parents may call the Office of Pupil Transportation (OPT) for more information at (718) 392-8855 or visit.

Bilingual Education and ESL
WHAT SCHOOL SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE LEARNING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE?
Students who are learning English may be required and entitled to take bilingual education, English as a Second Language (ESL), or other programs. Students who take these programs are called “English Language Learners” or ELLs. ELL programs include:
- Bilingual Education involves using the student’s native language and English to teach the student all academic subjects. It is designed to help the child keep his or her native language, learn the academic subjects, and learn English.
- English as a Second Language (ESL) is a program that teaches a child English and other subjects using only English.
- Dual Language/Two Way Model of teaching places native English speakers and native speakers of another language in the same class to teach all students in the class English and a non-English language.
- Accelerated Academic English Language Model is a program in which English language is emphasized and ESL methods are used for instruction.
Every public school should offer an ESL program, but not all schools will offer bilingual education. If a school has a bilingual education class in the child’s language as well as an ESL class, the parent has the right to choose between bilingual education and ESL for the child.
HOW DOES A SCHOOL DECIDE IF A STUDENT MUST TAKE BILINGUAL EDUCATION OR ESL?
Every parent or guardian who registers a child for school will fill out a Home Language Identification Survey (HLIS), which asks what languages are spoken by the child and others in the home. Depending on the answers to the survey, the child may be required to take a Language Assessment Battery (LAB) test to determine whether the child should take bilingual education or ESL. If a child scores below the 41st percentile on the LAB test, he or she will be designated as an English Language Learner (ELL) and will be required to take bilingual education or ESL.
Schools are required to hold orientations for parents of new ELLs to inform them of the different ELL programs that are available. At the orientation, parents can ask questions and receive materials about ELL programs (with assistance from an interpreter if necessary).
WHAT IF A PARENT DOES NOT AGREE THAT HIS OR HER CHILD SHOULD TAKE BILINGUAL EDUCATION OR ESL?
A parent may request that the child take the LAB test again for a higher score. Not all requests for re-tests are granted.
For more information about ESL programs or other family resources, please contact the DOE Department of English Language Learners and Student Support at (212) 374-6072 or visit the website at.
WHAT IS SPECIAL EDUCATION?
Students from age 3 to 21 who have disabilities that interfere with their learning have the right to specialized instruction and services, called “Special Education.” Such disabilities may range from difficulty reading to more complex emotional, intellectual, and physical challenges.
Special Education services include counseling, resource rooms, paraprofessional services, physical, occupational and speech therapy, assistive technology, special curriculum, and other “related services.” Special Education students may be taught in a general education classroom with non-disabled students, or in a classroom with only Special Education students.
HOW IS A STUDENT PLACED IN SPECIAL EDUCATION?
A parent or a school may request in writing that a child be referred and evaluated for Special Education needs. No student can be referred to Special Education just because he or she does not speak English proficiently. No child can be evaluated for Special Education without the parent’s informed consent. ELL children must be given bilingual Special Education evaluations.
Parents have the right to receive translations of Special Education materials and have interpreters at meetings and hearings related to their child’s Special Education services.
If a student is found to be eligible for special education services, he or she will be given an Individualized Education Program (IEP), an important document that states the services the student will receive and the student’s educational goals and standards.
If a parent disagrees that his or her child should take special education or does not believe the child is receiving the right services, the parent can request an impartial hearing to challenge these matters. Parents may seek an advocate or attorney to assist with the impartial hearing and meetings on special education.
For more information regarding Special Education services, you may contact the Department of Education Special Education Hotline at (718) 935-2007 or visit the DOE Special Education website at.
Parental Involvement
HOW CAN PARENTS PARTICIPATE IN THEIR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION?
Parents can become involved in their children’s schools and learning in many ways. Parents can talk to their child’s teachers and school administrators on a regular basis. Parents can also talk to their school’s Parent Coordinator who is responsible for helping to address parent concerns and supporting parental involvement.
Parents can also join the following organizations to get involved:
- Parent Association (PA)/Parent Teacher Association (PTA): a group that provides consultation to the school on all matters involving the school’s operation, including budget and curriculum. The PA/PTA has the right to obtain information about a school’s operation and achievement levels.
- School Leadership Team: a group comprised of parents, school leaders, and teachers that develops school-based educational policies and each school’s Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP).
- Community Education Councils (CECs): There are 32 Community Education Councils, which represent the needs and interests of families and students and help shape education policy in each of the City’s 32 Community School Districts.
- Citywide Education Councils (CECs): There are four Citywide Education Councils representing the needs and interests of families and students in the shaping of citywide education policy in the following areas: ELLs, Special Education, District 75, and High Schools.
- Community and Citywide Education Councils are comprised of parents and concerned community members who are elected or appointed.
- CECs hold monthly public meetings. Their duties include approving school zoning lines, holding hearings on the DOE’s Capital Plan, evaluating Community Superintendents, and providing input on other important policy issues.
For more information on CECs, contact the Department of Education’s Division of Family & Community Engagement at (212) 374-4118 or visit.
- Community Boards: Community Boards are local representative bodies composed of up to 50 unpaid members, half of which are appointed by the Borough President and half of which are nominated by City Council Boards meet publicly once a month. Members of the public are allowed to speak during a part of each meeting. Boards address a wide range of issues affecting their community, including education. For more information about getting involved in Community Boards, see the “Voting and Civic Participation” section.
- The Panel for Educational Policy (PEP): The Panel for Educational Policy is an independent board consisting of 13 voting members — 8 appointed by the mayor and 5 appointed by each of the City’s Borough Presidents — as well as 2 non-voting Student Advisory Council members.
- The PEP holds a public meeting every month that includes time for public comment. Every parent can attend this meeting to learn more about DOE policies and proposals and express his or her opinion to the Chancellor and members of the PEP.
- PEP members vote on DOE proposals related to school co-locations, school closings, and school grade expansions and truncations. The PEP also reviews standards, policies, objectives, and regulations related to educational achievement and student performance, as well as DOE contracts, the estimated annual operating budget, and the Capital Plan.
REMEMBER that parents have the right to receive translations of critical educational notices, letters, and forms in the parent’s native language. Interpreters must be available at parent meetings and orientations. If a parent does not receive required translations or interpretations, the parent may contact their parent coordinator, school, the Department of Education Division of Family and Community Engagement, or an advocate for help.
Student Discipline
HOW IS A STUDENT DISCIPLINED FOR MISCONDUCT?
A school must follow the Citywide Discipline Code and consider the student’s age, maturity, previous disciplinary record, and the circumstances of the incident among other factors to decide the right discipline for student conduct. Parents should ask for a copy of the Discipline Code and the Bill of Student Rights to make sure any discipline of their child is appropriate and legal.
WHAT RIGHTS DO STUDENTS HAVE WHEN DISCIPLINED?
Students have the right to due process to challenge a disciplinary action if the student and parent disagree with the discipline. There are two kinds of suspensions: Principal’s Suspensions and Superintendent’s Suspensions. Principal’s Suspensions are less severe than Superintendent’s suspensions. The following are important rules that schools must follow for suspensions:
- Students must receive properly delivered written notice stating the specific reasons for the suspension.
- Principal’s suspensions may not be longer than five days, but Superintendent’s suspensions may be longer.
- Students have the right to argue their case against the suspension and can bring an attorney or advocate.
- Parents and students have the right to translation and interpretation for all notices, meetings, and hearings.
- During a suspension, students may not be punished academically. They must be allowed to take all scheduled citywide or state examinations for which no make-up examination is permitted, and to make up any school examinations which may affect their grades.
- During a suspension, students must be provided with alternative instruction, including but not limited to, class work and homework assignments.
For more information on suspension procedures, see Chancellor’s Regulation A-443, available on the DOE website,.
Attending College
CAN A PERSON OF ANY IMMIGRATION STATUS ATTEND COLLEGE?
Any person may apply to college regardless of immigration status.

In addition, all personal student information, including immigration status, at the City University of New York (CUNY) and the State University of New York (SUNY) is protected as confidential under the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This federal law prohibits the disclosure of student information to anyone except college faculty determined to have a “legitimate educational interest in the particular student’s records.” In the case of a student’s immigration status, the Bursar (financial administrator) is the only faculty considered to have a “legitimate” interest in that information. For anyone else to gain access to these records, the student must provide written authorization, or a government agent must present a court issued subpoena stating the information is necessary to an ongoing criminal investigation.
CAN IMMIGRANT STUDENTS PAY IN-STATE TUITION?

Students should make sure their residency application is being reviewed quickly to make sure they will not have to pay more expensive out-of-state tui
CAN IMMIGRANT STUDENTS GET SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL AID FOR COLLEGE?
Numerous federal and state programs provide financial assistance to individuals and families to help students attend college. Through the U.S. Department of Education, the federal government operates grant and loan programs for students and parents of students in both undergraduate and graduate programs. To determine if you or your child may be eligible for these programs you can visit the Department of Education’s website at:.
New York State also operates programs to help students attend college in New York. Specifically, the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) provides grants to eligible individuals to help pay for the cost of college.

- Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge (SEEK): similar to EOP, exists at CUNY four-year colleges, and
- College Discovery (CD)): similar to EOP, exists at CUNY two-year colleges.

Peter F. Vallone Academic Scholarship Program
This is a CUNY scholarship given to full-time students graduating from a NYC high school with a qualifying grade point average and course background. All CUNY applicants are automatically considered for this scholarship. Students do not need to fill out an application.
Honors College
Honors College programs are offered at the following CUNY colleges: Baruch College, Brooklyn College, City College, Hunter College, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Lehman College, Queens College, and the College of Staten Island. As of 2007, the Honors College program offered full tuition and fees, an expense account of $7,500, and other aid for selected applicants.
Students may apply to Honors Colleges in September of their senior year of high school. An application to an Honors College will also serve as an application to the regular CUNY program. Admission is based on academic achievement, an essay, recommendations, and in some cases, an interview.
Private Financial Aid Resources
School-Specific Scholarships
Students applying to private universities or colleges may be eligible for some private financial aid programs at those schools. To learn more about these aid opportunities, students can visit the financial aid offices of the colleges or universities they want to attend. Many school-sponsored merit scholarships do not require the student to be a U.S. citizen.
Loans
Many schools offer private alternatives to federal and state loans. Although most private loans require U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status, eligibility may vary depending on the type of loan and lending institution. Students that have a history with a particular bank may want to consider applying for a private student loan from that institution.
At many universities or colleges, the Dean can authorize loans on an individual basis. The loan amounts and interest rates granted are often at the discretion of the Dean and subject to individual school policy. The student may make an appointment with the Dean of the college to discuss the possibilities of this sort of loan.

WHAT RIGHTS DO IMMIGRANT WORKERS HAVE?
Minimum Wage
All workers, regardless of immigration status, have the right to be paid for work actually performed and must be paid a minimum wage. As of January 2017, in the State of New York, the minimum wage is at least $9.70 per hour, and is higher in New York City. However, the minimum wage in New York City will be raised to $15 an hour for workers at large companies by the end of 2018, and for workers at companies with 10 or fewer employees by the end of 2019. A worker who earns tips may be paid a lower minimum wage depending on the industry he or she works in. Restaurant delivery workers, restaurant food servers, and laundry delivery workers are a few examples of tipped workers who may be paid a lower minimum wage. However, there are additional requirements about the tips that such workers receive. Tipped workers may be vulnerable to abuse by employers depending on how their tips are handled. Further guidance on the rights of workers to obtain tips may be obtained through the New York Department of Labor at (888) 469-7365.
Overtime Pay
In certain circumstances, when a worker works over 40 hours in a week, his or her employer must pay 1 ½ times the worker’s regular hourly wage for each additional hour. (For example, if a worker normally earns $8.00 per hour, then the worker would get $12.00 for each hour he or she works over 40 hours in a week.) Live-in domestic workers have a right to the overtime rate after 44 hours of work in one week.
- A worker who leaves his or her job has the right to be paid all wages for all the hours he or she work
- Workers have the right to be paid on Usually, this means getting paid every week or every two weeks.
PREVAILING WAGE AND BENEFITS
Employees of contractors or subcontractors who are working on public work projects or who are performing work on certain service contracts with government agencies (city, state, or federal) are entitled to be paid the prevailing wage and benefit rate set by law. Public work projects are those involving construction, replacement, maintenance, and repair of properties that serve the public, such as public schools, streets, and parks. Examples of some of the trades that are employed to work on public work projects are electricians, plumbers, and laborers. Examples of some of the trades that are employed to work on government service contracts are building cleaners, security guards and homecare attendants.
Contractors or subcontractors who pay below the prevailing wage and benefit rate are violating the law. The prevailing wage is often higher than the minimum wage. If an employee believes that he or she is underpaid, they should file a written complaint with the relevant government agency listed below. If it has been determined that a worker has been underpaid, he or she is legally entitled to collect from their employer the money that is owed to them.
The Office of the NYC Comptroller enforces prevailing wage and works to recover funds owed to workers who were underpaid on City public works projects or service contracts.
UNCLAIMED PREVAILING WAGE AWARDS
Over the last ten years, the Office of the NYC Comptroller has collected millions of dollars in prevailing wage underpayments for hundreds of workers who have yet to claim their awards. These individuals may not even be aware that they are entitled to these awards, regardless of their immigration status.
Workers who believe that they may be entitled to these funds can call (212) 669-4443, email laborlaw@comptroller.nyc.gov, or visit.
WHAT ARE AN EMPLOYER’S OBLIGATIONS?
- Employers are required by law to keep records of how many hours their employees worked, how much they paid employees, and any deductions made from employees’ paychecks.
- Employers may deduct money from an employee’s paycheck for Federal and State taxes, union dues, health and pension benefits, and child support payments.
- Employers may not make deductions to pay for things the employee broke, for poor performance, as punishment for being late, or for the cost of buying and cleaning uniforms.
- Employers may not make deductions for transportation costs if the traveling is for the employer’s benefit.
- Employers must give employees a wage statement with each pa
- The statement must include any deductions or allowances taken, hours worked, rates paid, gross wages (before deductions), and net wages (after deductions).
- Employers may not ask for or accept any part of a worker’s tips.
HOW CAN A WORKER PROTECT HIMSELF OR HERSELF FROM UNLAWFUL PRACTICES BY AN EMPLOYER?
Workers should keep good records of their employer’s contact information, pay stubs or receipts, the number of hours worked, and how much they are paid. Having these records will help as evidence if there is an investigation or complaint filed.
Workers should talk to their co-workers, and encourage them to keep records and protect their rights. The more workers know about their rights, the more likely employers are to follow the law.
HOW IS A WORKER PROTECTED FROM DISCRIMINATION?
Workers have the right not to be discriminated against on the job or when looking for a job. The law prohibits employers from discriminating based on race, color, sex (includes pregnancy), age, disability, national origin (includes birthplace, ancestry, culture, or language), citizenship status, religion, sexual orientation, and other categories. Workers who experience discrimination have the right to file a complaint against their employer. The employer is not allowed to retaliate or take negative action against a worker for doing so.
- Employers are required to make sure that employees have proper work papers within a few days of starting employment, and are allowed to ask only for certain immigration papers. Employers may not check an employee’s or applicant’s papers because of their national origin, or because the person looks or sounds “foreign.”
- Employers must reasonably accommodate the religious beliefs of employees or prospective employees (for example, allow them not to work on a holy day) unless it would cause an undue hardship on the employer.
- Employers may not ask people applying for a job whether they have a disability, but they may ask if the person can do essential job duties. Employers are also required to give reasonable accommodation to disabled workers unless it would be an undue burden on the business.
For more information about how to address discrimination against immigrants in the workplace, you may also contact the New York Immigration Coalition at (212) 627-2227.
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY
Workers have a right to a workplace free of health and safety dangers. They have the right to any information that their employer has about potential exposure to dangers like toxic chemicals or noise in the workplace. Workers also have a right to any medical records their employer has concerning them. Complaints can be made by a worker to their employer about dangerous working conditions.
Workers have a right to file complaints with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and request inspections of workplaces. They have the right to answer questions from an OSHA inspector and point out hazards, including describing accidents or illnesses and explaining if the employer has temporarily removed any hazards just for the inspection. Complaints can be filed with OSHA anonymously if a worker wishes to do so, and their name will not be given to their employer.
After the inspection, workers have the right to receive the results, and to meet privately with the inspector and discuss them.
Additional information about occupational health and safety is available at the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (NYCOSH) at (212) 227-6440 and.
WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
Workers who get sick or hurt because of their job have the right to be compensated. In New York, documented and undocumented immigrant workers may be eligible. Most full-time and part-time employees are eligible, even if they were paid in cash, paid “off the books,” or treated as an independent contractor.
Workers’ Compensation benefits may include: (1) compensation for medical care and treatment of work-related injuries and illnesses; (2) cash benefits if the injury or illness prevents a worker from working; and (3) death benefits for the surviving spouse or dependent children of a worker who was killed on the job.
Workers should notify their employer of job-related injuries immediately in person or in writing. Important forms in a workers’ compensation claim are the C-3 and C-4. The C-3 is the application form to be filled out by the worker. The C-4 must be filled out by the worker’s doctor.
These forms may be obtained through the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) and are available on the Board’s website at.
For more information about Workers’ Compensation, contact the Workers’ Compensation Board at (877) 632-4996.
FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT (FMLA)
The FMLA applies to employers that have at least 50 employees within 75 miles. A worker who has worked for such an employer for at least one year and who has worked at least 1,250 hours for the same employer during that period may be eligible for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year (leave may be intermittent) for the birth of a child, adoption of a child, to care for a child or family member with a serious health condition, or to care for their own serious health condition. A serious health condition can be any illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition that requires someone to be admitted in the hospital or to receive continuing treatment by a health care provider.
Employees should give at least 30 days advance notice and must provide a medical certification if the employer requests it.
It is unlawful for an employer to take any negative action against an employee for taking or requesting leave or to interfere in any way with an employee’s rights under the FMLA.
To file a complaint about FMLA violations, contact: U.S. Department of Labor, Wage & Hour Division, 26 Federal Plaza, Room 3700, New York, NY 10278, (212)264-8185 or (866) 487-9243.
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
Unemployment Insurance is temporary income for eligible workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own and who are ready, willing, and able to work.
A person should file for unemployment insurance as soon as possible after becoming unemployed to avoid losing benefits. Persons filing for unemployment insurance should make sure to have all the documents that are required for the application so that their application is not delayed. You will need the following information:
- Your Social Security number,
- Your mailing address and zip code,
- A phone number where you can be reached during business hours,
- Complete name, address, zip code, and phone number of all employers you’ve worked for in the past 18 months,

To file a claim for unemployment insurance, contact (888) 209-8124. Assistance in different languages is available at this phone number. You may also apply online at.
WHERE CAN WORKERS GO FOR HELP FINDING A JOB OR TO GET JOB TRAINING?
NYC Workforce1 Career Centers help people find a job and prepare for a job. The centers provide information about new jobs and refer people to educational and occupational skills training classes.
The Centers are run by the New York City Department of Small Business Services, the New York State Department of Labor, and the City University of New York. You may contact the Centers by calling 311 or visiting one of the following locations:
WHAT IS A DAY LABOR WORKER CENTER?
Day labor worker centers are spaces developed to support and protect day laborers who otherwise would look for jobs while waiting on the street.
Instead of standing in a parking lot waiting for work, a day laborer can go to a worker center, where jobs are referred out in a more organized way and employers are subject to rules that keep them from taking advantage of workers. This helps to prevent labor and civil rights abuses and to improve working conditions and avoid unpaid wages. These centers generally monitor and enforce the minimum wage, overtime, health and safety, and other employment laws. Some also provide English as a Second Language (ESL) classes and job training.
The following day labor worker centers are located in New York City:
El Centro Del Inmigrante, 350 Port Richmond Ave and 1546 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island. Phone: (347) 825-2086. Email: info@elcentronyc.org.
Bay Parkway Community Job Center, 8973 Bay Parkway, Brooklyn.
Phone: (718) 600-0425. Email: info@workersjustice.org.
New Immigrant Community Empowerment (NICE), 71-21 Roosevelt Avenue, Jackson Heights. Phone: 718-205-8796. Email: info@nynice.org.
WHAT IS HUMAN TRAFFICKING?
Each year, thousands of women, men, and children are brought to or through New York for forced labor including prostitution, agriculture, domestic work, construction work, and sweatshops. New York has strong laws that protect and help victims of trafficking.
Tax Returns
WHY SHOULD A PERSON FILE A TAX RETURN?
- Most people living in the U.S. are required to file income tax returns, which are due every year on April 15.
- Tax filing is important for showing eligibility for many immigration
- Low- and moderate-income families who file tax returns may be able to receive tax credits or a refund of tax
WHO IS REQUIRED TO FILE INCOME TAX RETURNS?
Almost all workers are required to file tax returns. People who earn below a certain income are not required to file tax returns. However, even if someone is not required to file a tax return, he or she is still allowed to file a return. You may wish to file a return even if not required 1) to establish a history of filing returns for obtaining immigration or other benefits, and 2) to possibly receive tax credits or benefits in the future.
WHAT IS AN INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (ITIN)?
An ITIN is a number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to allow a person to file a tax return and pay taxes. It can be used by people who do not qualify for a Social Security Number (SSN). Because the ITIN is available to different kinds of people without Social Security numbers, including people with lawful immigration status, it does not reveal what kind of immigration status a person has.
The ITIN does not provide work authorization, eligibility for Social Security benefits, or eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit. It also should never be used for employment.
A person can mail the applications to:
Internal Revenue Service Austin Service Center
ITIN Operation
P.O. Box 149342
Austin, TX 78714-9342
Or apply in person with an Acceptance Agent or at a Taxpayer Assistance Center.
WHAT IS THE EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT (EITC)?
Working families that earn below a certain income level may be able to receive the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which is a payment of money to the family. The EITC returns federal, state, and city tax dollars to qualifying families and individuals to help cover basic expenses. In 2017, working families earning less than $48,340 ($53,930 if married and filing jointly) per year could be eligible for as much as $6,318.
The amount of the refund depends on the family’s income and individuals’ marital and parental status.
To claim the EITC, eligible taxpayers must have earned income and must file a tax return.
To learn more about EITC and how you can claim it, call 311 or visit.
Housing
WHAT CAN I DO IF I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CONDITIONS OF MY APARTMENT?
You have the right to demand that your landlord make certain repairs to your apartment and make sure you have heat and hot water. Your landlord is required by law to keep apartments in a safe and habitable condition and provide heat and hot water.
To file a complaint about insufficient heat or hot water or about repairs to your apartment that have not been made, contact the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development by calling 311.
WHAT IF MY LANDLORD THREATENS TO REPORT MY IMMIGRATION STATUS?
It is illegal for a landlord to harass tenants and threaten to treat someone differently because of immigration status.
To complain about landlord harassment, contact the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal at (718) 739-6400 if you live in a rent regulated apartment.
If you live in a non-rent regulated apartment, contact the New York City Human Rights Commission at (718) 722-3131.
WHO CAN I CALL IF I AM HOMELESS?
Any person, regardless of immigration status, is eligible for emergency shelter.
To obtain assistance if you are homeless, contact the NYC Department of Homeless Services at (800) 994-6494.

Citizenship
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR U.S. CITIZENSHIP?
A person is eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship if he or she:
- Is a legal permanent resident and at least 18 years old.
- Has lived in the U.S. as a legal permanent resident for at least 5 years, or has been married to and living with a U.S. citizen for 3 y

- Age 55 or older and has been living in the U.S. for 15 years
In these cases, the person must still show knowledge of U.S. history and government, but may do so in his or her native language. Exams administered in a person’s native language are conducted orally. Reading and writing abilities are not tested.
People with certain disabilities may be exempt from the English language and U.S. history and government requirements.
Before applying for citizenship, it is important to speak with an attorney or consultant to make sure you are eligible and ready to apply for citizenship. However, you must be very careful in selecting an attorney or consultant. Getting poor or inaccurate immigration advice has risks and can result in lost time and money and, in some cases, deportation.
HOW DOES A PERSON APPLY FOR U.S. CITIZENSHIP?
- Application – If a person determines he or she is eligible to apply for citizenship and also determines there is no risk in applying (legal advice is recommended on whether there is risk to apply), he or she must submit an application (Form N-400) and application fees to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The total application fee for most people as of 2017 is $725 ($640 filing fee + $85 biometric fee). USCIS will make an appointment to take the applicant’s fingerprints and conduct a background investigation to identify any potential security risks.
- Exceptions – The following people, however, do not have to pay the entire $725:
- Applicants 75 years of age and older do not have to pay the $85 biometric fee.
- Military applicants filing under Section 328 and 329 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) are not charged filing or biometric fees.
- Fee Waivers – Applicants who are unable to pay the $725 fee can apply for a fee waiver using Form I-912, titled “Request for Fee Waiver.” To qualify for a full fee waiver, applicants must meet one of the following requirements:
- The applicant is currently receiving a means-tested benefit.
- The applicant’s household income is at or below 150% of the Federal poverty level at the time the application is filed.
- The applicant is experiencing a financial hardship that prevents him or her from paying the filing fee, including unexpected emergencies or medical bills.
- Individuals with income between 150% and 200% of the Federal poverty level may be eligible for a partial fee waiver.
- Interview – After the application is submitted, USCIS will schedule an interview with the applicant. During the interview, the applicant must show English proficiency and knowledge of U.S. history and government by answering some questions and performing certain exercises.
- Oath and swearing-in – If an application is approved, the applicant must take an Oath of Allegiance, giving up foreign allegiances and titles, and swearing to support and defend the Constitution and laws of the U.S.
USCIS may waive the oath requirement for applicants who have a severe disability preventing him or her from understanding, or communicating an understanding of, the meaning of the oath.
WHAT ARE THE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A NEW U.S. CITIZEN?
- Vote in elections: citizens have the right to vote for elected officials who shape the laws and policies of the U.S. gov
- Travel without restrictions: citizens may leave the U.S. and live in another country for as long as they Legal permanent residents who live outside the U.S. for long periods of time may risk losing their lawful status.
- Petition for more family members: citizens can petition for more family members to live in the U.S. and sponsor them to become legal permanent r Citizens can also bring spouses, minor unmarried children, and parents to the U.S. without long waits.
- Avoid deportation: citizens cannot be prevented from entering the U.S. and they cannot be deported from the U.S. Citizens may lose citizenship only under very limited cir
- Serve on a jury: citizens have the responsibility to serve as jurors in court when called.
- Hold public office: U.S. citizenship is generally required to hold elected city, state, or federal office, and to hold certain federal and state government jobs.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF APPLYING FOR U.S. CITIZENSHIP?
Immigrants with criminal backgrounds should consult with an attorney before applying for U.S. citizenship. People with certain kinds of criminal background are deportable and might come to the attention of USCIS when they apply for citizenship.
WHAT IF I HAVE A CONVICTION ON MY RECORD?
A person who applies for citizenship may risk being deported if he or she has a conviction for one of the following crimes:
- Crimes involving moral turpitude (CIMT). This category of offenses is often hard to define. Examples include, but are not limited to, crimes that require an intent to steal or defraud (i.e., such as theft, larceny, or robbery), certain assault offenses, and most sex offenses.
- Firearm or destructive device offenses (e.g., criminal possession of a weapon where the weapon is a gun).
- Drug offenses, except one offense for marijuana possession of 30 grams or less.
- Domestic crimes and crimes against children, including domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, neglect, or abandonment and certain violations of orders of protection (in civil or criminal court) for those convictions, or violations of orders of protection on or after October 1, 1996.
- Aggravated felonies such as drug trafficking (which may include multiple drug possession offenses), certain violent crimes and theft or burglary offenses that have a sentence of 1 year imprisonment imposed or suspended, certain document fraud offenses, certain crimes of fraud, deceit or tax evasion in which loss to the victim exceeds $10,000, certain prostitution business offenses, certain “alien smuggling” offenses and murder, rape, or sexual abuse of a minor.
- Certain other offenses, such as national security and immigration-related off
Lawful Permanent Residence
HOW CAN A PERSON OBTAIN LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENCE?
These are a few common ways of obtaining lawful permanent residence also known as a “green card”:
- A person may be sponsored by certain immediate family members who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.
- A person may be petitioned for an employment-based visa by an employer.
- A person may apply for a visa through the Diversity Visa Lottery offered for nationals from specific countries by the U.S. State Department.
Immigrants can also obtain legal status based on humanitarian reasons such as being a victim of a crime or domestic violence in the U.S., or being from a country that is dangerous or where one faces persecution.
Certain individuals who are victims of crime, have suffered abuse from such crimes, and are willing to assist government officials in investigating the crime may be eligible for a U visa. Certain individuals who face persecution in their native country may be eligible for asylum.
A person who is undocumented and living in the U.S. is very unlikely to be able to obtain lawful status. Undocumented immigrants should be very careful with people who promise they can help them obtain legal residency and charge money for immigration applications.
For more information about lawful permanent residence, call the New York Office of New Americans Hotline at (212) 419-3737 or (800) 566-7636.
If you have already applied for lawful permanent residence and are experiencing a delay with your application, you may call the offices of your U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, or the New York City Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs for help in checking the status of your application. You may find contact information for these offices by calling 311.
Executive Actions on Immigration
DEFERRED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS (DACA)
In June 2012, President Obama announced a program called “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” or “DACA”) that will allow certain people who came to the United States as children to remain in the United States temporarily. DACA allows for a type of temporary permission to stay in the U.S. called “deferred action”, and grants work permits for two-year periods. To be eligible for DACA, applicants need to have been under the age of 31 on June 15, 2012, and to have continuously resided in the U.S. since June 15, 2007.
UPDATE: On September 5, 2017, President Trump announced that he would end the DACA program and requested that the U.S. Congress consider legislation to address the status of DACA recipients within six months. As of the publication of this manual, Congress has not acted on the President’s request. For the most up to date information, contact USCIS at 1-800-375-5283.
PROVISIONAL WAIVERS OF UNLAWFUL PRESENCE
As a result of President Obama’s Executive Action, some undocumented immigrants not covered by DACA may still qualify for waivers of unlawful presence in the United States. Please check with USCIS to find out if they are accepting applications for these waivers. You may call USCIS at 1-800-375-5283 or visit their website at.
To be eligible for provisional waivers of unlawful presence, undocumented immigrants will need to meet the following criteria.
- Have unlawfully resided in the U.S. for at least 180 days and who are:
- The sons or daughters of U.S. citizens; and
- The spouse or unmarried sons or daughters of lawful permanent residents.
If you have been arrested or have had problems with the police, be sure to talk to a lawyer before you apply.
For more information about deferred action, call USCIS at 1-800-375-5283 or the New York Office of New Americans Hotline at (212) 419-3737 or (800) 566-7636.
Unaccompanied Immigrant Minors
In instances when immigrant children, who are without a parent or guardian, are placed in removal or deportation proceedings, federal law requires that they be fed, sheltered, and provided with the necessary care while they await their immigration proceedings.
What services are provided to unaccompanied minors?
The United States Department of Health and Human Service (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) places unaccompanied immigrant children in the custody of sponsors who will care for them and provide for their well-being. While in the care of sponsors and awaiting the completion of their immigration cases, unaccompanied minors are eligible to receive many services including:
- Health care
- Social service assistance
- Educational access and support
In addition to these services, many city, state, and not-for-profit agencies in New York City provide direct legal and social service assistance for unaccompanied minors.
To inquire about assistance and services for unaccompanied minor children, you may contact the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs at (212) 788-7654 or the New York Immigration Coalition at (212) 627-2227.

- Participate or seek appointment to your local community board, or testify before the board to voice your concerns about community issues. For more information, see below.
- Become a member of your local police precinct council to tell your concerns to the police in your neighborhood.
- Participate or seek appointment to your Neighborhood Advisory Board for the Department of Youth and Community Development to tell City officials which needs and programs are most important to your community.
- Volunteer for a political campaign, attend a demonstration, or write or call elected officials.
- Stay informed: talk with your friends and neighbors, read the newspaper, and learn about the issues most important to your community, city, state, and nation.

WHAT ARE COMMUNITY BOARDS AND HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?
Community Boards are local representative bodies consisting of 50 unpaid members appointed by the Borough President, with half nominated by City Council Members who represent the community district. There are 59 Community Boards in the City. Community Board members must reside, work, or have some other significant interest in the community district they represent.
Community Boards meet once each month. Board meetings are open to the public, and a portion of each meeting is reserved for the Board to hear from members of the public. In addition, Boards regularly conduct public hearings on the City’s budget, land use matters, and other major issues to give the community members the opportunity to express their opinions.
Community Boards are consulted on placement of most municipal facilities in the community and on other land use issues. They may also initiate their own plans for the growth and well-being of their communities. Also, any application for a change in the NYC zoning resolution must come before the Board for review, and the Board’s position is considered in the final determination of these applications.
Community Boards assess the needs of their own neighborhoods, make recommendations in the City’s budget process to address them, and meet with City agencies.
For more information about how to get involved or be appointed to a Community Board in your borough, please contact the office of your borough president listed below.
Consumer and Financial Rights
WHAT TYPE OF IDENTIFICATION IS NEEDED TO OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT?
Many banks accept different types of identification such as an ITIN, the number from a U.S. or foreign government-issued identification with a photo, or other safeguard (such as a passport or consular identification). A consular identification card is a useful tool for immigrants in the banking system because it includes a photograph, local address, birthplace, and a unique identification number, but does not disclose immigration status. Some banks in New York accept consular identification cards. IDNYC is also accepted by a growing number of New York City banks and credit unions. For a list of banks and credit unions that accept IDNYC, visit the IDNYC website at:.
CAN UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS TAKE OUT LOANS AND USE CREDIT?
Yes. Many banks, credit unions, and other lenders accept an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) to issue credit cards and make personal, business and mortgage loans. The banks, credit unions and lenders then report the loan and the borrower’s repayment information to credit reporting agencies.
Building a positive credit history is important for several reasons. It helps a person qualify for loans with lower interest rates and fees. Also, credit histories are considered by employers, landlords, insurance companies, and others when they make decisions about giving a person a job, an apartment, or other financial benefits.
It is important to build good credit history. A person who takes out loans or uses credit cards must be sure to pay off his or her loans and to check his or her credit reports. It is also important to check for errors that may appear on credit reports to make sure a credit report is accurate.
WHAT ARE FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT CENTERS?
In 2008, New York City government opened its first Financial Empowerment Center to help low-income residents achieve financial stability. Today, there are Financial Empowerment Centers throughout the five boroughs of New York City. These centers are open to New York City residents and provide the following services:
- Money management and budgeting,
- Financial planning,
- Credit and debt counseling,
- Support for dealing with creditors,
- Affordable banking services,

TAKE IT TO THE BANK: A NEW YORKER’S GUIDE TO AFFORDABLE CHECKING OPTIONS
The Office of the New York City Comptroller created an online resource called Take it to the Bank to help individuals find and compare affordable checking accounts.
Opening a bank account can help you save and grow your money safely. New Yorkers who use check cashers often pay hundreds of dollars a year just to access their own money. In contrast, banks provide useful tools such as the ability to directly deposit a paycheck, access your money, and pay bills at little or no cost. If you have a regular income and routinely pay bills, then a bank account may be an important step to improving your financial stability.
However it’s important to understand the rules and costs of a bank account before opening one, and every account is different. You may consider asking the following questions as a starting point:
- How much money do I need to open an account?
- What are the monthly fees for the account? Are there ways to avoid these fees?
- Do I have to keep a certain amount of money in the account each month?
- Will I be charged fees for using another bank’s ATM?
- How many transactions can I make each month free of charge?
- What happens if I write a check for more money than I have in my account, commonly referred to as “overdrawing”?
Take it to the Bank compares the fees and rules at different banks to help you find an affordable account that meets your needs, including locating banks that provide services in specific languages and accept IDNYC. Please visit the Take It To The Bank website at:.
Immigration Services
Immigrants can be defrauded and put in danger by dishonest immigration service providers. Any person who seeks immigration services should carefully select an immigration consultant or attorney for help. Some immigration consultants will falsely guarantee a certain outcome, make deceptive advertisements, or charge excessive fees for services. Immigrants should beware of these practices and research the consultants they choose to work with.
Local law protects immigrants from fraud by requiring any person or business that offers immigration assistance services (other than lawyers, not for profits, and government entities) in New York City to do the following:
- Provide a written contract that lists all services, fees, and costs to be charged to the consumer. The contract must be written in English and in the language understood by the consumer.
- Allow the consumer to cancel the contract within three days and receive a full ref
- State in advertising and signs that the provider is not an attorney or accredited by the Board of Immigration Appeals, and that the provider cannot provide legal Signs must be conspicuously posted in all languages in which services are provided.
- Keep copies of all records and documents prepared or obtained for the consumer for three years.
- Maintain a $50,000 surety bond.
In addition, immigration service providers cannot:
- Charge fees for providing or filing government forms.
- Charge fees for services that are not performed.
- Fail to give the consumer copies of documents that were filed or fail to return original documents to the consumer.
- Use the title of lawyer or attorney in English or any other language or represent any other credentials that could cause a consumer to believe that the person has special professional skills or is authorized to provide advice on an immigration matter.
- Advertise legal services or give legal advice, if not authorized.
- Imply that they have special influence with government officials or agencies or make guarantees or promises unless there is a basis in fact for the promise and the promise or guarantee is in writing.
- Disclose any information to, or file any forms or documents with, immigration or other authorities without the knowledge or consent of the consumer.
Immigrant Assistance Service Enforcement Act
In 2014, the Immigrant Assistance Service Enforcement Act was signed into State law, providing new and stronger legal protections for people seeking immigration assistance services in New York State.
The Immigrant Assistance Service Enforcement Act does the following:
- Makes clear that only attorneys and persons or organizations accredited by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) can provide immigrant legal services.
- Strengthens translation requirements for immigration assistance services.
- Creates additional requirements for signs and contracts that immigration assistance service providers must use.
- Creates criminal penalties and increases civil penalties for people who defraud immigrants.
- Establishes the New York State Office of New Americans as an official executive agency to help immigrants obtain legal services, ESOL and civics classes, job training, and other assistance.
If you have questions about the Immigrant Assistance Service Enforcement Act and immigrant services and protections, please contact the Office of New Americans Hotline at 1 (800)-566-7636.

The Benefits of Hypnosis for Wellness
luxebeatPosted By luxebeat on Jul 14, 2014
By Colin Christopher
For people in chronic pain or who have long-term emotional, mental, or addiction issues, hypnosis may not be the first therapeutic option that springs to mind. As one of the least known treatments, hypnosis is still thought of by many as merely parlour tricks and dismissed by some as quackery when it comes to any potential for actual healing. That perception is slowly changing, as more education gets out and more high profile celebrities use hypnosis for a wide variety of ailments. A recent example was when Princess Kate Middleton used it to overcome a food aversion brought on from dealing with morning sickness during her pregnancy.
During hypnosis, the body is completely relaxed and the mind is calm, yet still active. What a hypnotherapist does is bypass active consciousness and access the subconscious part of the mind. This is where many of our more primal emotions and motivations originate. These urges evolved over thousands of years and most make perfect sense when thought of in terms of ensuring survival. Fear, the urge to eat whenever possible, avoiding pain, etc. are all very reasonable in the context of a more primitive environment. Our society has moved forward much faster than our biology, so some of the primal urges have yet to adapt to our relatively new surroundings. These urges can sometimes get intertwined with feelings of stress, want, or pain and bring about unwanted actions and consequences. A good example can be overeating. Our ancestors evolved to know that food was scarce and they needed to eat as much as they could, whenever they could. Feeling hungry all the time helped to ensure that they took any chance that they got to eat and stay alive. But our landscape has evolved, and now food is no further than the fridge. A quick run to the store is all we need for more, but the primal part of our brain doesn’t know that and keeps telling some people to keep eating.
What a hypnotherapist does is access the subconscious and intelligently realign thought patterns to fit the situation desired. The subconscious mind is responsible for many of our bodily functions and also our beliefs. The two are very connected. Think of the old adage, “laughter is the best medicine.” We’ve probably all had some experience where we were in pain or feeling bad and something pleasant took our mind off of it, making us feel better. Thought patterns and moods actually do release different combinations of chemicals that affect everything from how we feel to how our body functions. The way we process stimulus from our senses can affect how we react and start a chain reaction that will lead us to behave in different ways. When in a hypnotic trance, we are better able to be receptive to directions. The hypnotherapist doesn’t control the patient. You can’t be forced to do something against your will while hypnotized. What does happen is that the therapist fills the patient’s mind with positive images and directions/suggestions for how to bring about the desired outcome.
As amazing as it sounds, hypnosis can be just as effective as traditional medicine when dealing with pain management, addiction, mental health issues, etc. Our bodies have a built in chemistry that affects how it works. When we take medicine, a chemical reaction takes place and changes how we feel. The same thing happens with hypnosis. If you are in pain, a trained hypnotherapist can get patients to respond to hypnotic suggestions that they release “feel-good” hormones, such as endorphins and serotonin. We’ve seen examples of exactly this with women using hypnosis during child birth, and surgeries performed without anesthetic.
No medical treatment can claim to be 100% effective, and there are some things that should be left to doctors, but hypnosis is an established and verified science. It has been used to treat a broad spectrum of problems. People have been able to stop smoking, lose weight quicker, improve self-confidence, overcome non-medical sexual dysfunction and even stop or reduce taking some of their pain medicines after being treated with hypnosis. Many people with anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorders have been able to leave their neuroses behind them and lead much fuller lives after treatment. When you undergo hypnosis, there is the potential to get to the very root of deep-seated problems and solve them in a very fundamental way.

NC-VA Winter Encampment
2020-2021 North Carolina - Virginia Wing Winter Encampment
Out of an abundance of caution and due to the unfavorable COVID-19 trends, the Joint NCWG/VAWG Winter Encampment 2020 has been canceled. We are thankful for your support of this Encampment, and the dedication of our staff during the planning and preparation for this event.
Refunds will be processed in the next few days, credited back to the original form of payment used for "WINTER ENC20" at EventBrite.
Virginia Wing will now focus its attention on the upcoming Spring 2021 and Summer 2021 Encampments in the hopes of providing the necessary leadership, growth, and professional development opportunities, particularly for those who require Encampment participation to promote.
(Canceled) 26 December 2020 - 2 January 2021 at the State Military Reservation (SMR) in Virginia Beach, Virginia
Applications
Since few Encampments are available this season, we wish to offer FIRST-TIME applicants who have not previously attended an encampment, an opportunity to seek WAIT-LIST status should an opening arise. Therefore, we are extending the online application from 29 August 2020 to 05 September 2020. We encourage all applicants (initial AND wait-list) to complete ALL outstanding paperwork/submission NLT 12 Sep 2020 to secure their application status. Encampment payment processing will open on 03 October 2020, and student slotting will begin shortly thereafter.
Cost
The cost for encampment will be $225. Payments will be collected via EventBrite and the link will be distributed to applicants.
Scholarships
Any scholarships received for this past summer will not transfer, applicants will need to re-apply. The Cadet Encampment Assistance Program (CEAP) is an available option and the application process (separate - through e-Services) will open on November 1st. Please click here for full details.
It is encouraged to apply as soon as possible as funds have been distributed as first come, first served in the past for this program.
Q&A:
1. How will I know if I have been approved?
- National Headquarters will email you directly (at your email that is on-file in e-Services). There is no way to check from e-Services for cadets.
2. When will I know if I have been approved?
- The CEAP website (link above) states notifications would be sent within 10 days of unit approval.
- CEAP applications close 30 days before the start of encampment.
3. How do I ensure my encampment (student and cadre) application is on-time without knowing if I have funds to attend?

4. What if I am not eligible for CEAP, or do not receive CEAP funds, but still looking for funding to attend encampment?

Packing List

Tips and Tricks
We asked the encampment cadre to share what they wish they would have known at their student encampment. Here's what they told us:
- Bring cough drops!
- Think small. Bring travel sized toiletries instead of full size.
- Blister pads are a must!
- Ask questions! You're at encampment to learn so take advantage of it.
- Major on the minors. It's the little things that matter at encampment. If you do well with the little and seemingly insignificant, you will also do well with the larger and more important.
- Use common sense when interacting with your Cadre. They're here to help you but they aren't here to babysit you.
- Bring pre-moistened towelettes to freshen up during the day.
- Wear your boots before encampment to a) break them in and b) make sure they are the correct fit.
- Start exercising for a few minutes each morning.
- Start hydrating now!
- Learn to use your diaphragm in advance.
- Make sure you know how to perform some basic tasks before Encampment like wearing the uniform and the basic drill movements. That way when you arrive at Encampment, you can help your fellow students out.
- Start packing a few days before you leave and double check that you've got everything you need before you leave home.
- Remember that the staff isn't tough on you because you are a bad cadet. They want you to be the best that you can be and they expect a high standard.
- To save yourself time, learn drill well enough to pass up to the Achievement 3 drill test.
- Make sure you're always checking on your wingman. Know how to look out for them, and get them help from a staff member if needed.
- Find out your squadron staff's ranks before hand. (Check out the Meet the Team! section of this website.)
- Make friends! It's incredibly likely that you will be seeing the cadet in your Encampment squadron again at other wing events. It's great to have old friends to reconnect with.

Abu Dhabi airline reportedly says incident happened during 2013 promotional campaign
Etihad Airways is investigating a possible data leak by a third party company that worked with the airline on a promotional campaign in 2013.
Gulf News revealed on Wednesday that the personal details of thousands of people who took part in the campaign had been leaked in a breach of security at Dubai-based marketing solutions firm EmailCiti.
Arabian Business has contacted EmailCiti for a statement.
An Etihad spokesperson said the possible breach affected “a small number” of members of its loyalty programme, Etihad Guest, but that the airline had taken “immediate action” to address the issue.
The spokesperson added: “Etihad Airways is investigating a possible compromise of information belonging to a small number of members of its loyalty programme.
“The data is three years old, does not include sensitive or financial information, and presents no threat to the security of Etihad Guest member’s accounts.
was emailed to Gulf News, the newspaper said, and includes phone numbers and IP addresses, which can be used to locate home addresses.
EmailCiti had not responded to Arabian Business at the time of publication of this article, but Omar Al Shoukbaki, CEO of EmailCiti told Gulf News the breach is being handled by the company’s legal team and further questions should be addressed to EmailCiti founder Khaled Jabasini.
It reported that Jabasini said the leaked personal details came from a promotional website EmailCiti had built for Etihad in 2013. He said it is unclear when the breach took place.
All parties involved in the promotion had access to the data, he was quoted as saying, and added that his company is continuing to work on other projects with Etihad.
An Etihad spokesperson told Arabian Business that this is incorrect, and that Etihad is no longer working with EmailCiti. | https://www.arabianbusiness.com/etihad-said-probe-possible-leak-of-customer-data-by-supplier-617572.html | 2020-08-03T15:51:56 | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | 1596439735812.88 | [] | 103 |

Summary
We have characterized Hox 1.3 (previously described as m2), a murine homeobox-containing gene, which is a member of the Hox 1 cluster located on chromosome 6. A cloned cDNA was isolated from an Okayama-Berg library generated from the chemically transformed cell line MB66 MCA ACL6. The protein sequence of 270 amino acids was deduced from the nucleotide sequence of an open reading frame containing the homeobox. The open reading frame is interrupted at the genomic level by a 960 bp intron and is organized in two exons. The Hox 1.3 protein was found to contain extensive sequence homology with the murine homeodomain protein Hox 2.1, which is encoded on chromosome 11. There are two homology with the regions in the first exon, i.e. a hexapeptide conserved in many homeobox-containing genes and the N-terminal domain, which was found to be homologous only to Hox 2.1. Furthermore, in exon 2 the homologies of the homeodomain regions are extended up to the carboxy terminus of Hox 1.3 and Hox 2.1. During prenatal murine development, maximal expression of Hox 1.3 is observed in 12-day embryonic tissue. The two transcripts carrying the Hox 1.3 homeobox are 1.9 kb and about 4 kb in length. An abundant Hox 1.3-specific 1.9 kb RNA is also found in F9 cells which were induced for parietal endoderm differentiation, whereas F9 teratocarcinoma stem cells do not stably express this specific RNA. Induction of the transcript occurs immediately after retinoic acid/cAMP treatment and the RNA level remains high for 5 days. Thus, the kinetics are different from the previously described homeobox transcripts Hox 1.1 and Hox 3.1. Interestingly, by analogy to the F9 cell system a negative correlation between transformation and Hox 1.3 expression is observed in 3T3 fibroblasts also. Untransformed 3T3 cells carry abundant 1.9 kb Hox 1.3 RNA, whereas the methylcholanthrene-transformed MB66 and LTK- cells or 3T3 cells transformed by the oncogenes src, fos or SV40 T antigen express only low levels. | http://dev.biologists.org/content/102/2/349 | 2018-04-19T15:56:34 | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | 1524125936981.24 | [] | 107 |

Jacob K. Javits Center, October 8 - 10, 2010
There were a lot of bleary-eyed geeks all over the metro area today in the wake of New York Comic Con & Anime Fest, the largest East Coast pop culture convention. Over 75,000 people --many in costume -- attended the event last weekend which showcased over 500 different events over three days.
Couch Potato Cop even got off the couch to get his geek on and fought through the throngs at the annual sensory-overloaded pop culture potpouri.
Due to the tremendous turnout, it took some Con-goers 45 minutes just to enter the Javits. But few compained. Bags of swag [ free convention goodies ] go a long way towards putting people in a good mood.
Guest of honor was Stan Lee, creator of Spider-man, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk and nuerous other iconic characters. Lee was at the Con all 3 days, and signed hundreds of autographs for fans, some of whom waited in line for hours.
Here are some noteworthy highlights from the extravaganza:
ABC's space alien reboot of the V franchise will be returning in November. Star Morena Baccarin [Anna] and cast members conducted a Q&A panel discussion with fans and also screened new scenes from the upcoming season.
Spoiler alert: we're about to give away a big reveal from Season 2.
Original V diva queen Linda Badler makes a surprise turn as Anna's mother --and their relationship is toxic, to say the least. Anna keeps her mum locked away somewhere on the mothership for reasons that are still unclear, but we'll have to wait for Season 2.
Kudos to the cast for flying in from the West Coast and patiently signing free autographs for about 600 or so fans afterwards.
The cast of CW's Nikita also brought footage of future eps. Couch Potato Cop gave Nikita a lukewarm review when it premiered, and seeing the unaired scenes, I'll stand by my review.
But cast members Maggie Q, Lyndsy Fonseca and Shane West gamely answered viewers questions and signed promotional posters after the event.
Corey Feldman showed clips from his direct-to-video opus 'Lost Boys: the Thirst'. You may recall Felman played one of the original vampire-fighting Frog brothers in the '88 film 'Lost Boys'. But he and brother Alan Frog are the only players left from the original franchise.
The new sequel has the embattled Frog Brothers taking on an alpha vampire, who is looking to establish vampire broods of rave-going, club-hopping kids in major cities all over the world. Hey, I don't make up the plots, I just report. The movie was done on the super cheap, but there's enough creepy chills, gore and humor to satisfy most genre fans.
Couch Potato Cop also learned a fare amount about the character the Green Hornet, the star of a major motion picture with Seth Rogan set to unspool in January 2011. The Green Hornet is one of those super heroes way down the pecking order, maybe a notch above Diaper Man. Put it this way: if he showed up at a club in the Meat Packing district, the bouncers wouldn't let him in.
Still, I've always been a little fascinated with the Green Hornet, because here's a super hero that is driven around by a chauffeur. There's something....um, anti-heroic about having a man-servant.
Here's something: the Green Hornet was created by the same man who created the Lone Ranger. In the lineage, GH was Kemosabe's grandson. Bet you didn't know that.
On the Anime side, Japanese voice actress and singer Minori Chiabara made her first trip to New York and gave a free standing-room-only concert at the IGN Theater for thousands of high school and college age fans. | http://couchpotatocop.blogspot.com/2010/10/ | 2018-04-19T11:14:23 | CC-MAIN-2018-17 | 1524125936914.5 | [] | 41 |
Top 5 Classic TV & Movie Locations You Can Have At Home
Over the years there have been many iconic locations for films and TV series, but with access to the Internet and a credit card many of the items which made these locations so special can now be purchased for your own home: be it in your bedroom, living room, or home theater installation. So what should you go for? Let’s take a look at our top 5.
5. Al’s Diner – Happy Days
Out of all the sitcoms that have graced the airwaves over the years, there are definitely many classic locations, from Central Perk in Friends to Jerry’s apartment in Seinfeld. However, one of the most iconic locations has to be Al’s Diner from Happy Days. What makes Al’s so iconic? Well there is Fonzie’s office in the bathroom, but all in all it has to be Al’s jukebox! Probably Fonzie’s favorite piece of equipment, and always on the Read More » | http://www.hookedupinstalls.com/tag/home-theater-accessories/ | 2015-06-30T05:11:51 | CC-MAIN-2015-27 | 1435375091751.85 | [] | 98 |
The course currently has nine-holes and a driving range but, following the completion of major construction work, will be relaunched in April as a full length facility.
Golf director Rodney Hutton said the additional holes promise to make a big difference.
“At present we have a very good facility for golfers here at Hersham but once the 18 holes are opened we will be even better.”
Hersham Village Golf Club opened seven years ago on several acres of wooded land off Assher Road.
Originally used for farming, the land was bought by the Greater London Council and turned into a tree nursery.
Many of the trees planted in the nursery now line Hersham’s fairways, adding to the challenge faced by players as well as contributing to the course’s distinctive character.
Rodney, a qualified PGA professional, was in 1995 approached to design and build a course at the site and the result was a nine-hole facility, with a clubhouse and practice area which has, by and large, been a success.
“This has become one of the friendliest clubs a golfer can play,” said Rodney.
“We have a thriving membership and a full competition fixture list.
“Although people here like to enjoy their golf, they are still competitively motivated and we have some very good players who have had several tournament successes.
“One of our teams recently won the south of England round of the National Nines Competition — a contest for clubs with nine-hole courses — and are through to the regional finals in Jersey.”
However, Rodney said that when more land beside the existing course became available he was keen to build nine more holes to both improve facilities for members and provide an added attraction for visiting golfers.
“When people think of nine holes they often think of pitch and putt and although we offer a lot more at Hersham, it is hard to change that negative perception.
“Unfortunately, some people will only play a course if it has 18 holes.
“With the extra holes, we will be able to offer something to suit everyone.”
At approximately 5,800 yards, the 18-holes are not as long as some other courses. Rodney said Hersham will be a more inviting challenge for most golfers due to its restricted length.
“Golf courses now are often built to championship lengths, more than 7,000 yards, which really suit only the best golfers.
“Considering most players have a handicap of between 15 and 28, longer courses can put them off. This course has been built for everyone.
“Its length will suit higher handicap golfers while with its many bunkers, two lakes and greens built to USGA standard, it will still provide a challenge for the better players.”
Rodney said one group of golfers in particular who he hoped would be attracted by the extra holes at Hersham are younger players.
“I have been a little disappointed by the number of junior members at the club.
“Young players often start out playing a nine-hole course, but once they reach a certain standard feel they have to move on to a bigger course.
“I want to build up the young members section to make this a club for golfers of all ages and with 18-holes I believe that can be achieved.”
In the meantime, Rodney said he is encouraged by the number of enquires the club has received about the additional holes.
“I am very pleased by the amount of enthusiasm people have shown towards the development. It gives me confidence that the new course will be a success.”
The 18-hole course will open in April with a two-day launch planned for July.

Immediately after you have installed your complete floor and grouted it, the next day you come across out that you did not do a fantastic adequate job cleaning the grout. It’s not that difficult to do due to the fact of the thin, invisible layer of grout that builds up on prime of the tiles though they’re still wet. If you happen to be fortunate, you’ll just have to have to buff it. Difficulty is, you’ve got to rent a buffer. An additional grouting error is grouting with epoxy. Hey, it occurs. And it really is a real pain to attempt and reverse it.

mangoes that you can pick right off neighborhood trees. A bottle of beer still sells for less than two dollars, and a couple can enjoy an extravagant seafood lunch or dinner for just $20 to $30 — including cocktails or wine.
The beautiful Mexican state of Nayarit is Mexico’s newest travel destination. One hundred miles of pristine Pacific coast begin in Nuevo Vallarta and end in the historic, colonial town of San Blas.
The Riviera Nayarit is commonly referred to as one of Pacific Mexico’s precious hidden corners where the jungle meets the sea, and for good reason. The region is a Pacific Eden of flowery tropical forests and pearly palm-shaded beaches. It features surfing, snorkeling, diving, horseback riding, canopy jungle tours, kayaking, whale watching, professional golf courses and rare native wildlife — including sea turtles and an abundance of tropical birds. You’ll find mountain and island adventures, charming towns where you can buy fresh fish, prawns, oysters and lobster directly from the local fisherman every morning, and miles of pristine beaches that are spectacularly beautiful.
Our favourite towns along the Riviera Nayarit include the hip and bohemian surfing town known as Sayulita, which offers great shopping, dining and surfing lessons at the beginner to intermediate level. The wide gorgeous beach at peaceful Lo de Marcos resembles Hawaii. In Chacala, the beach is so pristine locals still eat oysters right off the rocks while Playa San Francisco offers a spectacular wild beauty. Colorful La Peñita has true Mexican flavor and a weekly market with an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as great deals on Mexican handicrafts, pottery, silver and leather jewellery. Rincon de Guayabitos boasts a flat beach three kilometers long and variety of great restaurants. The miles-long beach of Boca de Naranja (“Mouth of the Orange”) enchants us with its sheer beauty and isolation. But to us, the most beautiful tropical beach of all is Los Ayala, where we’ve made our home.
Tranquil, Los Ayala remains one of Mexico’s best kept secrets and offers a stretch of beach that’s half a mile long. Los Ayala is a true Mexican beach town and, although it is usually very quiet and tranquil during the week, it comes to life on weekends when Mexican families arrive by the busload to enjoy a weekend at the beach. The beach is stunningly beautiful, and a true tropical oasis lined with palm trees and crystal clear, warm ocean waters – calm enough for children and non swimmers. Just a ten-minute hike from the beach of Los Ayala takes you to the secluded beach called “Playa del Beso,” or “Beach of the Kiss.” We enjoy daily walks along the shore at Los Ayala and take particular delight in the fish and shrimp vendors, abundant pelicans and frigate birds, and dining in bare feet at one of its many beach front restaurants.
Whale watching is spectacular in this area from December through March; pods of orcas and humpback whales are easily spotted just off shore and on any whale watching tours. Recently we hired a driver for a private three hour boat tour to explore the coastline and its many pristine and remote beaches at a cost of just $90 USD for three persons. We packed a picnic lunch and explored the coastline and hidden beaches. Many of them are accessible only by boat, including spectacular Punta Raza. We enjoyed swimming and snorkeling in crystal clear waters and were absolutely delighted to spot a pod of large Orca whales actively breaching just a few yards from our boat. Truly a magnificent sight, and a once in a lifetime experience!
Experience Mexico as it was intended to be… lush jungles with palm fringed mountains. Beautiful, long, palm-lined beaches. Crystal clear ocean waters and a variety of great beachside seafood restaurants. Quaint sand streets, friendly locals, and music with heart and soul.
It’s all here in the Nayarit Riviera. Explore them with me.

Former NFL offensive lineman Mitch Petrus died Thursday night in Arkansas due to heatstroke, officials said. The former Super Bowl champion was 32 years old.
Petrus fell ill Thursday evening after working outside at his parents' shop in Lonoke County, Pulaski County Coroner Gerone Hobbs said. He was taken to Baptist Health Medical Center in North Little Rock just before 9 p.m. and was pronounced dead just before midnight, Hobbs said.
Temperatures in the area reached 92 degrees during the day, and a heat advisory was in effect in Arkansas when Petrus became ill. When the body's temperature rises faster than it can cool down, 'heatstroke' occurs, potentially damaging the brain and other vital organs.
Petrus' mother told the coroner that her son had been drinking water while working outside but did not get enough electrolytes. Petrus did not appear to have any pre-existing conditions, Hobbs said.
Son of Sue and Phil Petrus, the former offensive lineman lived in Carlisle, Arkansas, according to the New York Giants website. Petrus played for Carlisle High School and then for the Hogs, the University of Arkansas Razorbacks football team, where he graduated in 2009 with a degree in agricultural business..
In addition to a high body temperature, warning signs of heat illness include hot, red, dry or damp skin and a fast, strong pulse, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.. Ice baths, ice packs and fans are all useful.
Generally, people who work outside or exercise a lot are more acclimated to the heat and therefore less likely to succumb to illness. That said, anyone exposed to hot weather for too long can become sick.
Along with becoming acclimated to the weather, a person who wishes to avoid heatstroke can wear loose-fitting clothing while in the sun, drink plenty of water and take it easy during the hottest part of the day.

Interesting situation. This was SW flight 8500, so I knew something was up. Then it rotated almost immediately, so I figured it had only a few folks on board. Then, I found out its destination: Indianapolis. We all know Southwest doesn't fly direct to Indy from Love Field. So it probably was a mechanical ferry. Note Southwest's headquarters in the background.

Despite scholars’ predictions that identity politics were a dying phenomenon, it now appears that these ways of political thinking, once thought to be redundant, have been resurrected in new forms. The nationalist ideologies of the twentieth century have been displaced not by an era of co-operation and harmony but by new identity clashes. Across the world, nations and groups are increasingly defining their politics by ‘who they are’ rather than ‘what they want’. At the international level, meanwhile, nations and groups are progressively organizing and identifying on a regional basis – sparking fierce debate as to how regions can be defined – who belongs and who does not. Indeed, it would seem that the quest for identity and belonging in a globalized world is one of the most important themes of the current global political arena – dictating policies, alliances, patterns of conflict and co-operation, and the relationship between the twenty first century individual and the world they inhabit.
STAIR, Oxford’s peer-reviewed inter-disciplinary journal of global affairs, is issuing a
themed section to foster critical debate about identity politics by inviting theoretical and empirical contributions from a range of disciplines including International Relations, Political Philosophy, Political Science, Area Studies, Law, Sociology, History, Anthropology, Gender and Critical Studies and from policy perspectives. STAIR welcomes insightful submissions focusing on one or more interrelated dimensions of this topic.
- What explains the resurgence of identity politics in different national and regional contexts?
- How has the international face of identity politics changed in recent years? Whose political identities have changed and why?
- What is the role of identity in international relations in the 21st century?
- What is the relationship between identity politics and contemporary democracy?
- What are the implications of the resurgence of identity politics for the future of global co-operation?
- How are the negative consequences of the current political focus on identity best combated?
- What is the relationship between identity and regionalism in global politics?
- Has the relevance of identity to modern political thought been overstated?

Based on a traditional 3-reel set, Reel Bonus is a classic slot developed by Malta-based gaming studio Imagina Gaming. But hardly the typical 3-reeler, Reel Bonus comes with an unusual twist – along with the Basic game, it offers a Top game in three different bet modes.
The game was designed in Imagina’s signature style – it is a classic slot machine with unique mechanics and gameplay. It features beautiful graphics and retro-looking symbols such as cherries, lemons, and strawberries. What’s most interesting in this game is that it can be played as both a traditional 3-reel, 1-line slot, or alternatively, players can activate up to 5 paylines and unlock the Bonus reel, located above the main reels.
Symbols and Winning Combinations of Reel Bonus Slot
Inspired by the classic fruit machines, the Reel Bonus slot features a wide variety of fruit symbols. The symbols, as well as the payouts for the winning combinations they form, vary greatly, depending on the bet mode. The Basic Game is played with 1 credit (bet mode 1) and the winning combos consist of either 2 or three symbols of the same kind landing on the single, central payline. Cherries are the lowest-ranked symbol, followed by stars, lemons, apples, strawberries, clovers, grapes, bars, and jackpot symbols.
The Bonus Game can be played with 5, 10, or 20 credits, and each of these bet modes activate all 5 paylines on the reels. Before triggering the Bonus Game, the winning combinations for bet modes 5, 10, and 20 consist of 3 symbols of the same kind that land on any of the 5 lines – the symbols are the same but payouts here are higher, starting from 10 coins for 3 cherries in 5-bet mode. The highest payout is 200 coins (credits) when the player gets 3 crowns in 20-bet mode or 3 bars in 10 and 20-bet mode. Three jackpot symbols on a line also bring a 200x payout.
However, the jackpot symbol is not a standalone symbol. It appears as a sticker alongside other symbols on the reels. In 5-bet mode and above, a combination of three star symbols on any of the 5 lines trigger the Bonus Game.
Bonus Features of Reel Bonus Slot
The first bonus feature in this slot appears in the Basic Game – this is the Hold feature, which is available for each of the three reels. Whenever a reel displays a symbol with high winning potential, the Hold feature activates automatically for it and it stays in place for the next spin. Players are also given the option to Hold one of the reels if they wish to. Another great feature is the Bet Multiplier, allows players to multiply their bets and winnings with these options – 1x, 2x, 5x, and 10x.
The other exciting feature is the Bonus Game, which can be unlocked only when playing with bet modes of 5 and above. When three star symbols appear on any of the 5 paylines, the Bonus Game is triggered and players are given 1, 2, or 3 spins on the Bonus Game Reel. Of course, the higher the bet mode, the more spins. The Bonus Reel contains symbols that represent different combinations and once it stops, the main reels start spinning. As a result, a winning combo can be formed in 27 ways in total.
Verdict
Imagina’s Reel Bonus may be a retro 3-reel slot inspired by the good old fruit machines but there is nothing old and ordinary about it. This is an extremely interesting game where players can carefully select their bet, activate more paylines and, if they are lucky, they can trigger the Bonus Game. It adds an extra reel to the equation for even more chances to win, so clearly, Reel Bonus is worth a try. Open it and you would probably play a few dozen spins before you know it. | https://www.supercasinosites.com/casino-games/slots/reel-bonus-slot/ | 2020-11-24T02:56:40 | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | 1606141171077.4 | [

By Chukwuemeka Chimerue, Chief Editor | The Biafra Times
Nnamdi Kanu was wise enough to escape from his murderers and every other right thinking human in his position will run 4/40 to prepare for the future. It is only a tree that stands still untill its hewers cuts it down. He is not a tree but human, with a purpose that must not be cut short. All his critics can go to the gallows for God's hand was solidly behind his escape mission and will continue to guide and direct him. If you're an Ibo man/woman, that is what "Ofo" and "Ogu" does for us. Keep your minds and hands clean!
Those who gossip and ask why Nnamdi Kanu ran to Israel, have they asked why the Buhari/APC murderous Boko haram military was sent to kill him, his family members and young Biafran youths. Those who make such comments are genuine fools. Nnamdi Kanu escaping and ending up in Israel is a divine providence and evidence that Biafra will be restored. | http://www.thebiafratimes.co/2019/02/python-dance-i-ran-away-because-i-was.html | 2020-07-02T08:47:26 | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | 1593655878639.9 | [] | 88 |

This weekend that just went by, I got to go to a county fair with my mom and my brothers, Josh and Aaron. I wanted to go in the daytime but the gates didn’t open until 5 o’clock so we had supper at our house first and then we went to the fair grounds.
My grandma told my mom that when we went there we had to go see the tie die, but my mom never told me how come we had to go see the tie die. I wasn’t too sure I wanted to go to a fair where they made a tie die but my mom said I was probably going to like that part a lot, so I didn’t argue. My mom is almost all the time one hundred percent right, so I just go along with whatever she says because when someone is right that many times, you just got to go with the flow.
So when we paid the money to get in, we went to this big red barn part because that’s where the arts and crafts and garden stuff and award-winning creations were. That’s what Josh and Aaron were saying anyway. I don’t know if that’s all that was in there, but when we got in there, I have to say there was a whole lot inside for sure.
Anyway, we got to look at a lot of old farm equipment that was from a hundred years ago, and we got to see a lot of tables that had homemade things on them like both my grandmas make. There were scrapbooks and jellies in jars and homemade quilts that had people stitches and not sewing machine stitches. It was amazing what was on all those tables.
And then my mom pointed to this one area of the red barn and she said, “There it is.” I looked around and I was confused. For one thing, this is the first thing I saw.
That doesn’t even look like a tie, unless it’s a short tie for a very tall giant! And plus another thing: Nothing dies when you make a tie out of cotton, and trust me, that tie was made out of cotton! So why they call it a tie die, I’ll never know, but at least I didn’t have to be sad because nothing died!
Then we got to go to other parts of the red barn to look at even more stuff that comes from gardens and farms. I got to see tomatoes and pumpkins and gourds and green beans. I even got to see eggs, and some of the eggs were green. I asked the one lady that had the green eggs what was wrong with her eggs and she said there was nothing wrong with her eggs. She said her hens lay green eggs all the time and it’s because of the food she feeds them. I guess she must feed them lots of green beans and salads instead of regular chicken eating food.
But the good thing about talking to the lady that has hens that lay green eggs is that I don’t have to worry about little kids reading “Green Eggs And Ham” and getting the wrong idea about those green eggs in the story. I know that the boy in the story won’t eat green eggs, but now I can tell little kids that if the hens are eating green beans and salads instead of regular chicken eating food, then those green eggs are okay to eat.
I’m going to ask my mom to buy some green eggs from the lady’s farm so I can say I ate green eggs and they were delicious and plus, they didn’t even kill me dead.
After the green eggs table, I saw a different kind of table, but my mom wouldn’t let me stop and talk to the man that was working there. She said we had to get going, but I sneaked a picture of it because I thought it was pretty. This is what it looked like.
The next time my mom’s friend, Roy comes to visit, I’m going to ask him if he has things like that at his work. If he says yes, I’m going to ask if he can let me borrow them for a while so I can decorate my room so it looks like that picture. I like it because it makes me think of where the hens that lay the green eggs probably live, and that will make me smile. | https://missybarrett.wordpress.com/2014/09/10/county-fairs-are-confusing/ | 2017-04-23T15:55:40 | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | 1492917118713.1 | [] | 71 |
