AALDEF condemns Trump Administration's revamped anti-immigrant travel ban
New York City…The president today signed a revised executive order seeking to address the legal flaws that led federal courts to block his Jan. 27 travel ban against refugees and migrants from several Muslim-majority countries.
Margaret Fung, AALDEF Executive Director, said: "This latest version of a Muslim ban fails to address national security concerns and continues to violate constitutional protections for immigrant communities."
The new executive order will still halt admissions to the U.S., effective March 16, 2017, of nationals from six Muslim-majority countries (Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen) for at least 90 days (Iraq is no longer included in the travel ban.) It replaces the Jan. 27 travel ban that suspended the immigrant and nonimmigrant entries of individuals of seven Muslim-majority countries. The order seeks to work around a successful legal challenge blocking implementation of the original order by exempting lawful permanent residents and dual nationals traveling on the passports of non-designated countries, as well as other individuals in very limited circumstances. As in the original directive, the travel ban suspends the U.S. refugee admissions program for 120 days and limits the number of refugees to 50,000 for the 2017 fiscal year, although it no longer singles out Syrian refugees for an indefinite period.
AALDEF's team of attorneys is closely monitoring the Department of Homeland Security's implementation of the president's newly issued executive order and its impact on immigrants and refugees and their families. In late January, there were widespread reports of chaos at airports around the country following the rollout of the original directive.
Annie Wang, a staff attorney in AALDEF's Immigrant Access to Justice program, said: "While the administration tweaked the language of the initial order to give it a veneer of legal justification, we believe that the Muslim/Travel Ban 2.0 will not make our country safer and are confident that its discriminatory intent and impact will be challenged again in the courts."
As the impacts of the new executive order unfold, AALDEF will offer free legal consultations to community residents and their families who may be affected by the order and will conduct legal workshops and trainings.

Brexit concerns for Northern Ireland Health Service
By agency reporter
The importance of negotiating a Brexit deal that secures ongoing freedom of movement and recognition for medical qualifications obtained outside the UK, have been highlighted as key concerns in a new briefing from the British Medical Association.
In the briefing, the BMA warns that a return to a hard border could put the already pressurised health system in Northern Ireland under more strain, deterring cross border workers and making it harder to retain healthcare professionals in Northern Ireland.
Speaking about the briefing, BMA Northern Ireland Council chair Dr John D Woods said: "If we do not secure ongoing freedom of movement then we run a real risk that staffing gaps in Northern Ireland will increase. We already do not have enough doctors here, and a hard border could make that situation even worse.
"A hard border also puts at risk current cross border health services in primary care, cancer services and paediatric cardiac surgery."
There are a number of areas in healthcare where cross-border service arrangements have been established to provide high quality, safe care for patients. Dr Woods said adequate measures must be put in place to ensure this continue.
"Co-operation between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland has been crucial in facilitating and delivering these services whilst also ensuring that highly skilled clinicians can be attracted and retained in Northern Ireland. It is vital that these health services are not destabilised during, or after, the Brexit process," he added.
The BMA has also highlighted the possible impact Brexit could have on medical students and their subsequent employment choices.
Dr Woods: "There is a long history of doctors gaining their medical qualification in the Republic of Ireland and later moving to practice medicine in Northern Ireland. Currently about nine per cent of doctors here received their degree outside of Northern Ireland and the majority of these are from the Republic of Ireland.
"Medical students from the Republic of Ireland also undertake placements in Northern Ireland, and, if the medical school at University of Ulster goes ahead it would be expected that clinical placements they undertake as part of their studies would be on both sides of the border.
"This flexibility means that medical students from the Republic of Ireland frequently choose to develop their career in Northern Ireland, and we need this to continue in order to grow our workforce here."

Feel fabulous in French terry. Pair this top with a croissant and, ooh la la, a good day is guaranteed. From LOGO Lounge by Lori Goldstein.
LOGO Lounge by Lori Goldstein Cotton French Terry Swing Top w/ Pleat Detail is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 32.
Rated 5 out of 5 by belfastgranny from Perfect. This top is so soft, not too heavy, the fit is perfect and it looks lovely. I really like tunic length and it is just right. Going to order another. Thanks Lori !!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by DianelovinQVC from soft and cozy I love this top. I ordered it in the Tuscan olive and bay blue. I always wear a large in Logo tops. I accidentally ordered the bay blue in XL. It still fits in the shoulders but it is more roomy in the body. I am going to keep it anyway because it still looks good-just bigger than I normally wear. I usually drip dry my tops but I could put the bigger one in the dryer on low and it might shrink a little as well. Both colors are beautiful!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by robing from Great Skinny Jean Top! I bought the bay blue top and have been wearing it the last few days with my white Laurie Felt silky skinny jeans. I love it! I have received many compliments. I have a chest measurement of 40" and ordered a large. It fits great. I washed it for the first time today, and it came out of the wash with no wrinkles. I draped it over the rack to dry. No fluffing in dryer needed. It was the perfect weight material to wear in 60 degree weather. When I saw QVC had dropped the price today, I ordered the russet and Tuscan olive tops. Although still expensive, I am willing to pay it for something that makes me feel and look good!
Rated 5 out of 5 by joyjoy5025 from Great Casual Top Love, love, love this one. Long enough and has pockets. I bought in the green/tan color and it goes great with jeans. Just right for early spring here in PA.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Exit 166 from So Flattering And Comfy Purchased all three colors and surprisingly returned the olive color as I just didn't think it looked good against my fair complexion and blonde hair but it is very cool looking. I absolutely love the bay blue and russet colors. I hope Lori brings this back in more colors as I would definitely purchase more. My standard 1X also was spot on in all three colors. This top already is getting lots of wear and is a favorite go to.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Foof from Very flattering with the pleat in the back From now on I will only order Logo tops with that pleat in the back. Makes all the difference to hide any fat on the back. After I received the first one and tried it on, I immediately ordered the other two colors. Please style other tops with this pleat in the back.
Rated 1 out of 5 by FourS from Huge This is sooooo large. And the fabric is really wonky - rough with no drape whatsoever. Logo items are pricey, so why order if you are not totally in love with the piece?

How To Choose Office Furniture On The Internet?
Design Office furniture can be bought in stores, but it is best to buy it over the Internet. Nowadays, online stores have become very popular among buyers. All the products that are presented on these sites are available directly from the manufacturers. It is because it differs a low cost and low cost. Select furniture is very easy because it is divided into categories, each thing has a photo, description and corresponding comments. Buying online can be directly from the workplace or at home sitting on the couch. One has only to press a couple of keys and all the furniture is already being taken in your office.
For each type of furniture always have special requirements. Similarly, the design office furniture should be not only functional and durable, but also more environmentally friendly. Solid appearance is also very important for us, because this is the first thing that catches your visitors eye. Just the furniture should be easy to clean and use. All the furniture in all stores divided by the furniture and furniture for personnel directors.
The first kind of furniture should be compact, functional and convenient. All chairs, tables, partitions, angular elements must harmoniously integrate into the interior and contribute to the good health of all employees. After all, if a man will sit on an uncomfortable chair and write over the old table, then every hour of his performance will decrease. Bad chairs and lighting may also be harmful to human health. Convenient and comfortable furniture on the contrary will not allow to happen to all this.
The second type of furniture – it's furniture management (cabinet, conference table, leather chair, upholstered furniture). All the furniture, which is in the room is to be fancy, stylish and quality. It is best to purchase items made of precious wood, as well as with beautiful accessories. Most importantly – do not overdo it with the presence of expensive things. The interior should be at one point, and expensive, and is made with taste.
On the Internet you can buy ready-made furniture, and if I had not turned out so, you can always phone to the manager and ask him to arrange it on request. It is because of such furniture can fill every centimeter of free office space. Such constructive suggestions are always carried out given squaring the room, because they are made on a personal and customized. All design office furniture should be made on the good equipment for its release should be purchased only environmentally friendly materials. It is thanks to furniture made to order, your office interior is unique and the only one in the city.


While property prices over the past few years have not seen too much of an increase (thanks to the huge bubble and oversupply), this seems to be a good opportunity for genuine home buyers to hunt for their dream home. So you are one of them and have saved a good amount to pay the upfront down payment of around 10-20% and now looking for a home loan? While interest rate and overall trust play a huge role in selecting your bank for taking a home loan, there are some other factors like processing fees, time taken for disbursal, pre closure charges, maximum amount bank is ready to sanction and maybe few more depending on the personal preferences.
In today's competitive market the interest rates are more or less same and once the documents are clear, the disbursement is also quick. Let us see another feature which you should consider while taking a home loan i.e. the OD Maxgain Loan account which is offered by SBI and its associate banks. Most of you must have heard about this but are not sure if this is beneficial for you in any way. Let us see how this account works.
First of all the Maxgain loan account is just like any other loan account wherein interest will be changed on a monthly basis on the outstanding amount. With Maxgain account, you can park your surplus cash into this account and this extra amount you pay will be considered as principal repaid thus saving you interest on that amount on a monthly basis. To elaborate with an example let us consider a loan of 50 lakh @ 8% interest for tenure of 20 years. This translates to an EMI of Rs 41822 with below repayment schedule for the first six months.
As you can see the interest component in the beginning would be maximum and this will keep on reducing with subsequent EMI payments. Now if you have an extra sum of about 1 lakh available with you , just put that money into your Maxgain loan account and that amount will be reduced from the Balance column for the next monthly interest calculation.This would save you around Rs 660 per month on interest! And guess what , this extra sum is completely liquid money which you can withdraw anytime using debit card linked to your loan account. Below are some of the key points.


Sometime, bad things are always going to happen in life. They make us grow and generate changes.
Other things make us tremendously stronger.
Other things make us grow long nails like claws so we can become combative and face a battle that certainly we have not chosen.
It is not of my nails I wanted to talk, even if they are getting really long and sharp.
What amazes me is the fact that, (referring to the first line), at this time I think out loud, I go into the fray and I am totally without filters.
So what I say is not filtered and that I really don't care!I'm in a situation where I can afford all this, tell the truth and not be afraid to lose anything!
Are you wondering if this long period of silence I read all the bibliography of Fabio Volo (actor, writer, radio host, TV host, voice actor and Italian screenwriter) and I'm externalizing his thoughts.
No, they're mine. My thoughts.
My reflections. Because of what life holds for us, I'm sure.
I'm listening "It's a Beautiful Day" and I pretend I am convinced that's a good day for me too.
As I'm sure, although at this time the sky is always full of clouds, it can't rain forever.
Ma i 40 non erano i nuovi 20???
There's always sunshine after a storm. Even you are far away I'm close to you with my thought.
You are always in my thoughts too!
Lo dicevano anche a me e io ci ho creduto.
Giuli.. devo proprio venirti a trovare con la mia Ester.. Nei miei giorni più neri.. riesce sempre e comunque a strapparmi un sorriso.. Lei è un cuor contento.. e spero manterrà questo carattere anche da grande..
Essere positivi aiuta sempre.. anche quando pensiamo di non aver nulla per cui pensare positivo.. dobbiamo sforzarci.. perché la positività porta positività..
I pargoletti e i loro sorrisi sono terapeutici!
Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results. Ti penso amica mia.

© European Union, EPRS
Written by Monika Nogaj and Eva-Maria Poptcheva
Although the Treaties foresee the possibility of a uniform electoral procedure, elections to the European Parliament are determined by national electoral rules, which differ considerably from one Member State to the next. The discrepancies in national procedures make for a very complex overall process of electing Members of the European Parliament. Moreover, problems arise given the nature of political debates ahead of the European elections, tending to focus on domestic issues and ignoring to a large extent, the impact, which decisions at EU level have on national policies. These deficiencies touch upon core founding principles of the EU, such as the equality of citizens, the notion of European citizenship and the democratic character of the elections. They also prevent matters that concern the livelihoods of all Europeans from being brought to the forefront of the debate, as well as hindering the development of a genuine European dimension to the elections.
Article 223 (1) TFEU gives the European Parliament the right to initiate a reform of European electoral law. The Committee on Constitutional Affairs has decided to draft a legislative initiative report to this effect. The Co-Rapporteurs Danuta Hübner and Jo Leinen have proposed a number of measures with the aim of enhancing the democratic nature of the European elections; reinforcing the legal status of citizenship of the Union; improving the functioning of the European Parliament and the governance of the Union; strengthening the legitimacy and efficiency of the European Parliament; enhancing the effectiveness of the system for conducting European elections and providing for greater electoral equality for the citizens of the Union.
This paper describes the European Added Value of possible changes to the EU's electoral law. It does so by analysing: a) the impact of proposed modifications with respect to these goals, and; b) the necessary level of intervention (action at Member State or EU level, binding or non-binding measures); c) the feasibility of certain actions addressing the heterogeneity of Member States legislation (in particular, linked to the necessity to revise Member States Constitutions).

Ursula Kaczmarek says:
Reblogged this on electoralmanac and commented:
This is an interesting report on European Parliament elections that explores an interesting parallel with elections in the United States: European Member State law and U.S. State law govern the administration of elections and result in the non-uniform election of legislative members. That is to say, members of the European Parliament and members of the U.S. Congress may all serve in the same legislative bodies, but they've all been elected under different rules governing, among other things, ballot access, voter registration, election dates, and ballot design. This diversity in rules has led observers in the EU and the U.S. to question the democratic nature of current electoral rules and procedures.
Olaya Argüeso says:
I have checked the table accounting for the gender balance for each country at the Europarliament since 1979 and there some inconsistencies in data (percentages not adding up to 100%). Since I would like to use this data in a journalistic work on gender balance, who should I address my inquiries?
EPRSAdmin says:
Dear Olaya,
The table accounting for the gender balance for each country at the Europarliament contains data Data sourced from the European Parliament. The table was initially published in House of Commons Research Paper 14/32 11 June 2014, European Parliament Elections 2014. The fact that in some cases the percentage are slightly above the 100%: Denmark 1984, Denmark 1989, Portugal 1989, Denmark 1999 comes certainly from the fact that figures have been rounded up. In any case, you may also find most up to date data on men and women distribution in the EP on the following page:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/elections2014-results/en/gender-balance.html
If you need further info, please do not hesitate to send an email to eprs(at)ep.europa.eu
Dear EPRS team,
Thank you for your answer. I had already checked the link you mention, but unfortunately the data are not in a reusable format -as happens, by the way, with the table I first mentioned. It would be extremely useful if you could provide readers with a link to downloadable files in reusable formats, like .csv.

NANCY Jacques says:
Yes super
Andrew Turvey says:
The original working paper floated the idea that the electoral system should be restricted to only allow open lists – it can currently be any type of list or STV. This didn't make it into the final draft report.
Frank H Little says:
Unless I have missed something, the paper does not tackle the anti-democratic nature of fixed party lists as employed in the UK and some other nations.

Q: How to get React Project to work Because NPM Start Wont Work Hello I downloaded a react project from https://github.com/fabiau/jc-calendar and when I do npm start I get error messages. I tried to do "NPM Fund" and "NPM Update" and none of them worked. Obviously i have no clue what I am doing so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would apprecaite it.

A: Before starting dev server you'll have to install the dependencies of the project using npm install , as generally node_modules/dependencies are not part of the repository.
This is mentioned in Readme.md of JC-calender.

A: Checkout scripts in package.json in usual case start will be as given below but as per the code you consider npm-run-all package is used so be sure to run npm install
"scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
  },

This may help you out https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-run-all

A: Try deleting folder node_modules and package-lock.json if exists and run command npm install

A: most of the repositories on GitHub, don't have dependencies installed, after downloading a repository on your local machine, you need to run "npm install". The reason behind this is that npm will look for  all the required dependencies of the specified project and install them on your machine, with node-modules, then run "npm start"
