Q: Error: RouterModule.forRoot() called twice I have a component ListComponent that needs to be used in 2 modules, one of them is lazy loaded. So I created SharedModule that declares ListComponent. ListComponent uses the routerLink directive, so it needs RouterModule. So I imported RouterModule, which resulted in this error.

core.js:1598 ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error:
  RouterModule.forRoot() called twice. Lazy loaded modules should use
  RouterModule.forChild() instead.

A global search shows I am only calling RouterModule.forRoot once. My lazy-loaded module calls RouterModule.forChild and is the only other routing module.
I created a stackblitz with my exact same setup, but wasn't able to recreate the issue. It actually works. Still, I can't figure out what's different about my project. https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-shared-component-b

A: If you only need to import the RouterModule in SharedModule in order to use directives such as routerLink you can simply import it like this:
// ...
@NgModule({
  imports: [RouterModule], //  <-- without the .forRoot call
})
export class SharedModule { }
// ...

Make sure in the base module of you app (usually AppModule, or maybe AppRoutingModule in your case) you import it with RouterModule.forRoot(yourRoutes) so the link used in ListComponent work properly.
See more in RouterModule API Docs

A: In my case the problem was AppModule auto-imported by IDE in one of page.modules.ts
You can quickly check if that's an issue:

*

*Search for AppModule

*Find all import from all files except AppModule and main.ts

*Remove them and corresponding import statements.

Fibroepithelial polyp, one of the most common benign cutaneous lesions, was seen as a conjunctival mass, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the second ever reported case of fibroepithelial polyp involving conjunctiva, although it can have atypical presentation and has been reported at sites like ureteropelvic junction, genitals, bronchi, tonsils, and outer ear canal. The common benign and malignant conjunctival lesions are pterygium, pingecuela, pannus, pyogenic granuloma, limbal dermoid, papilloma, squamous cell carcinoma, lymphoma, Kaposi sarcoma, and malignant melanoma. Therefore, the possibility of fibroepithelial polyp affecting uncommon sites cannot be negated.
Keywords: Conjunctiva, cutaneous, fibroepithelial polyp

Sayeed K, Iqbal J, Malhotra R. Conjunctival fibroepithelial polyp – A rare case. Indian J Ophthalmol Case Rep [serial online] 2023 [cited 2023 Feb 1];3:15-6. Available from: https://www.ijoreports.in/text.asp?2023/3/1/15/368181
Fibroepithelial polyps, also known as acrochordon or skin tag, are one of the benign nonepithelial tumors that arise from the mesodermal tissue.[1] They are usually seen in middle-aged and older individuals. No gender preponderance has been seen. The common sites involved are skin of neck, trunk, face, axilla, and groin. Infrequently, they can be seen in the ureteropelvic system, genitals, or bronchus. Majority of the cases are sporadic. Rarely, they can be seen with tumors of perifollicular mesenchyme involving the hair bulb. Fibroepithelial polyps are soft, flesh-colored, bag-like tumors, which are often attached to the surrounding skin by a slender stalk. Histologically, they consist of fibrovascular cores covered by benign squamous epithelium. Ischemic necrosis can occur in these lesions due to torsion, leading to pain. They are occasionally seen to be associated with trauma, diabetes, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, hormonal replacement therapy, acromegaly, and intestinal polyposis.[2],[3] Increase in number and size of these lesions may often take place during pregnancy, which may be due to hormonal stimulation.
A 68-year-old male, farmer by occupation, presented to us with a swelling in right eye (RE) of about the size of a pea for the last 1 year, which was gradually progressive and associated with redness, mild pain, foreign body sensation, and blurring of vision. There was past history of cataract surgery 3 years back and excision of similar swelling at the same site 3 years back in the same eye, records of which were not available. There was no history suggestive of any systemic illness.
On general examination, there was no significant preauricular, submandibular, or submental lymphadenopathy. Systemic examination showed no swelling elsewhere in the body.
Local examination of RE revealed an elevated pearly gray lesion of about 1 × 1 cm with tufts of vessels with ill-defined borders present at the superior bulbar conjunctiva and limbus extending from 11 o′ clock to 3 o′ clock, encroaching the superior cornea and covering half of the pupillary area. No pigmentation was seen, and it was fixed to the underlying tissue [Figure 1]a.
Figure 1: (a) Whitish lobulated mass present in superior conjunctiva with vascularization encroaching superior cornea covering half of the pupillary area. (b) Polypoid mass lined by squamous epithelium (H & E, 40×). (c) Hyperplastic squamous epithelium showing focal areas of dysplasia and goblet cells seen focally (H & E, 40×). H & E = hematoxylin and eosin
Left eye anterior segment examination was within normal limits. Fundus examination of both eyes was within normal limits. Routine blood investigations were done.
No touch technique was used for complete excision of the mass with 4-mm safe surgical margin of excision with cauterization of base and conjunctival closure under local anesthesia. The excised mass was sent for biopsy. Topical antibiotic and steroid drops were prescribed. No complications and no recurrence were noted during follow-up.
On histopathologic examination, polypoid mass lined by hyperplastic squamous epithelium showing focal dysplasia was seen. Goblet cells were seen focally. Underlying stroma was fibromyxoid and edematous. Diagnosis of fibroepithelial polyp with focal dysplasia was made [Figure 1]b, [Figure 1]c.
Fibroepithelial polyps are one of the most common cutaneous lesions, but can have atypical presentation and have been reported at sites like ureteropelvic junction, genitals, bronchi, tonsils, and outer ear canal.[4],[5],[6],[7] The incidence of eyelid fibroepithelial polyp is found to be 8.6%.[8] In our case, the patient, being an elderly in her seventh decade, with history of recurrence of swelling at the same site and the clinical appearance of the lesion led us toward the provisional diagnosis of ocular surface squamous neoplasia. Other common conjunctival lesions are pterygium, pannus, pyogenic granuloma, limbal dermoid, papilloma, squamous cell carcinoma, lymphoma, Kaposi sarcoma, and malignant melanoma.[9]
To our surprise, the histopathologic examination of the excised mass suggested it to be a conjunctival fibroepithelial polyp with focal dysplasia. This is the second ever reported case of fibroepithelial polyp involving conjunctiva. The first one was reported by Vatansever et al.[1] in 2019 in a 57-year-old male, who presented with a swelling of the nasal conjunctiva. Not only the uncommon site of the conjunctival lesion, but also the previous two ocular surgeries in the same eye can be a risk factor for the occurrence of conjunctival fibroepithelial polyp.
Its pathophysiology includes mast cell recruitment due to trauma, which causes upregulation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and further leads to fibroblast proliferation and mitogenicity.[2] Hormonal growth factors also cause keratinocyte and fibroblast proliferation.[3] Human papillomavirus (HPV) is also seen to be involved in its pathogenesis.[10] Due to the possibility of involvement of multiple sites by the fibroepithelial polyp, it has to be looked for at other locations too to prevent any complication caused by it. Although rare, this lesion has the chance of malignant transformation, which should be actively searched for in a patient of fibroepithelial polyp at any of the sites.
Ocular fibroepithelial polyp can involve conjunctiva apart from eyelid skin and simultaneous presence of such lesions at other organs can not be negated.

A: The cause of this type of error can often be a misplaced comma in an object or array definition:ie.

If it appears at a random line, maybe it's part of an object defintion you are creating dynamically.

A: var options = {
chart: {
title: 'Employee Score Card',
You have an extra comma after 'Employee Score Card',


This decision by the Motion Picture Academy received widespread backlash and a result it looks like all of the nominees will have the chance to perform… for 90 seconds.
So far it looks like Jennifer Hudson is the only artist to have agreed to the micro-set. Awkward.

Speaker Pelosi, Where Do You Stand on the Biggest Issue of Our Time?
Eric Stetson
Thursday, May 30, 2019 - 1:59pm
Does the rule of law still exist in America — or are some people, by virtue of their political position or connections, above the law? That is the question now facing our country. It is a question that will determine the very survival of our nation as a democratic republic.
We know where Donald Trump stands. He believes it's okay for the President of the United States to obstruct investigations by the FBI into foreign interference in our elections, as revealed in the Mueller Report. He believes that people who work for him don't have to comply with Congressional subpoenas, which have never before been considered optional. Bizarrely, he has also accused FBI agents of "treason" simply for doing their job to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election, because the Russians were working to help Trump get elected and he publicly encouraged them to do so during the campaign.
We know where Robert Mueller stands. Today, he said that the U.S. Constitution "requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing" — i.e. impeachment by the House of Representatives — and he explained that this is why he did not charge Donald Trump with the crime of obstruction of justice. Not because Trump was innocent, but because it's the House's job to bring charges.
Today, in response to Mueller's statement — which was practically begging the House to impeach President Trump — seven presidential candidates took a stand and called for impeachment proceedings to begin.
Even a conservative Republican Congressman, Rep. Justin Amash, has taken a principled and courageous stand that Congress must stand up for the rule of law and impeach the president from his own party. He received a standing ovation at his first town hall after calling for impeachment.
But where does Nancy Pelosi stand? Rep. Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, is the politician in whose hands is the power to begin impeachment hearings into President Trump's contempt for the rule of law. So far, she has refused to take a stand on this incredibly important issue. Instead, she continues to dodge the question of whether Trump should be impeached, always finding excuses for inaction.
But when the very essence of the American system of government and the integrity of our legal system are at stake, silence and inaction are unacceptable.
It is time for Speaker Pelosi to speak clearly on this issue, taking a stand to protect the values we cherish as a people. It is time for her to act like a leader, and accept her responsibility — indeed the duty of her office — by making the case to the American people that Donald Trump has committed impeachable offenses that are unacceptable to a free people, and acting to defend our country from a president who acts increasingly like a tyrant.
The purpose of impeachment is to lay down a marker about what we the people believe to be unacceptable conduct by a president — conduct which violates basic ethical principles, the separation of powers under the Constitution, or the laws of the land. In light of President Trump's numerous violations of laws and norms, our nation must have this debate. And the debate must be recorded for posterity, in the somber manner that it demands: the formal and historically weighty process of an impeachment inquiry.
Anything less does not do justice to the seriousness of the issue before us. Regardless of whether an impeachment "wins" or "loses" in either the House or the Senate, the process must begin — because the facts show that it is is the right thing to do.
Speaker Pelosi, it is time to do the right thing, political considerations be damned. Be a leader. Take courage. Sure, you may prefer to focus on passing bills on normal political issues, but these are not normal times. Any bill you pass will be killed in the Senate anyway — just as an impeachment would likely fail there too — but that is irrelevant. Take a stand on the biggest issue of our time. That issue is whether the rule of law will be upheld and reaffirmed in our country today, or whether America will become yet another country with an authoritarian president who violates the law at will. No other issue is as important as this!
Speaker Pelosi, do you want to be remembered in the history books as the Speaker who failed even to seriously attempt to hold a lawless president accountable for his misdeeds? Or do you want to be remembered for doing your duty to your country during a difficult time?
The choice is yours. Choose wisely — and remember that we the people are watching, and expecting the accountability you promised us in the 2018 election. Most Americans, when the evidence is laid before them, will stand for the rule of law over a president who acts like a wannabe dictator. That's a big part of the reason the Democrats won a House majority last year. Anyone who wishes to lead the people's Congress would be wise to remember it.

Jishaku #6.5: Angle Eye Blender is an eye blending brush made with natural goat sokoho bristles. The curved bristles get deep into the curves of the eye socket, making it especially helpful for hooded, deep-set, or larger eye shapes. Created by makeup artist Rae Morris in collaboration with master brushmakers in Japan.
Blend eye shadow that has already been applied to the socket up into the browbone. Use it with a matte brown shade that's slightly darker than your skin to define the shape of the socket.
This is the best under eye concealer/highlight brush. It is angled, to mimick a fingertip, so it blends concealer (Tarte Shape Tape, etc) outwards flawlessly. Rae Morris brushes are pricey, but are so unique, effective, sturdy, and beautifully made, they are worth the investment.


Can you tell us about yourself and your role in Rigoblock?
Former hedge fund treasurer, head of investment, MSc Finance from Bocconi.
Ethereum based decentralized pools of digital tokens protocol and platform for decentralized asset management. A product for traders to organize their Ether/tokens holdings and their investors through an automated smart contract protocol.
What are the conditions to create a fund?
The protocol is intended to allowing even for micropools, allowing access to talented traders who want to create a track record.
What settings do the fund creators have control over?
They can set a fee on subscriptions and redemptions, which is 0 by default, as the protocol has 0 commissions. Everything else is sorted out automatically by code.
What are the fees to create a fund for the fund creators?
No fees, 0. Just the gas cost of executing the transaction on the blockchain.
How will the fund tokens be distributed?
No distribution of tokens for the pools, users buy tokens of a pool and later sell them. Rigo tokens will be distributed according to the Proof-of-Performance algorithm to traders. Rigo tokens will also be distributed to early contributors.
Will the fund creators be vetted/checked by Rigoblock?
Rigoblock provides the backend technology. Platforms offering the rigoblock protocol might be performing vetting procedures. Under certain conditions users might be required for further checks.
In what assets can the funds' creators invest in?
Digital tokens, our view is that everything will be tokenized, from real assets to derivatives.
What mechanism will be in place to prove the ownership of assets?
What information/analytics will the token holder have on the funds?
Some basic and graphic information, like value, address,.. Further analytics will be offered by external service providers.
How will performance be measured and communicated?
Through external service providers. The protocol is intended as a base backend layer for pools of digital tokens. Anyone can build applications on top of our backend.
How will the fund tokens be traded?
Not disclosed yet, competitors are watching us. It will be disclosed though.
What will the fee for entry, exit and management of these funds?
0, none, nada. No management fee. No performance fee. No distribution fee. Traders can, at their own discretion, set an entry/exit fee.
Will the Rigoblock decentralised exchange be allowed to trade other coins than the fund coins?
We aim at being the reference point for decentralized pools of tokens. External exchanges are going to be plugged to our pools of tokens. Our exchange allows leveraged trading of cryptoswaps, but again, we'd rather plug in many decentralized exchanges and focus our energies on the pools.
What is the best business advice you have ever been given?
Do just a few things, become the best in your field, and stay focused.
What is the use of the Rigblock token?
Rigo tokens are needed to participate to the incentives mechanism. Without them, users cannot earn on the platform.
How will Rigoblock sustain itself in the long term?
When will Rigoblock go live? (or if it is live) How many Mircopools are currently running?
At the moment we have 61 micropools on the kovan testnet, release on mainnet has still not been finalized. We want to manage expectations and keep them low, this is why we are releasing our platform before offering our tokens. We are adding an airdrop feature in our testnet platforms and very shortly users will be able to earn Rigo tokens for free just by using the platform.
Will the pools be able to buy only ERC20 tokens?
At the beginning it will be ERC20 tokens and ERC20 derivatives. This is a question which can be better answered by decentralized exchanges and we are closely monitoring their progress.
We thank Gabriel Rigo for the interview.

January 17, 2020 | Rome, Italy
The twilight of private clinics
By Susan Levenstein| 2019-03-23T12:19:20+01:00	March 23rd, 2019|"Bedside Manners"|
Rome boutique clinics that do their best to seem like luxury hotels are no longer thriving as they once did.
taly's fashion industry and top restaurants belong in the so-called First World, its bureaucracy in what was once labeled the Second World, its garbage collection —at least in Rome —squarely in the Third. In healthcare it's a mixture of the three. Public care is free to all but slightly shabby, with the sugar-on-top private sector providing luxury to those that can afford it.
A private doc is expected to hear you out, sift through your records, provide a hands-on diagnosis, and prescribe a pageful of remedies. In short, your private physician is there to enhance not just your health but your self-worth. At the office of your National Health Service general practitioner, you might wait in a barren hallway for two hours. In a private waiting room you'll be leafing through art books in a Le Corbusier chair.
I've dabbled in both sides of the system: the underfunded public side while doing research, and the flush private world for seeing patients. I caught on fast that being a leftist wouldn't save me from the siren call of private medicine's petty corruptions. When business is slow, economic self-interest can nudge you toward bringing a patient back in two weeks, rather than four, and to do an ECG that in a busier moment you might have skipped. Your schedule is so packed that you can be tempted to start cutting corners. Thoroughness and vigilance suffer, as does attention to detail. And no matter how much you despise yourself for it, you treat Very Important Patients with kid gloves.
Private medicine has always been bigger in chaotic southern Italy. In the north, the public system works.
In the 1980s, the golden days of free spending, people would check into Rome's private hospitals or "cliniche" for week-long tune-ups. Not any more.
Back in the 1980s, the golden days of free spending, people would check into Rome's private hospitals or cliniche for week-long tune-ups. Posh wards were packed with healthy, wealthy Romans taking in prods, needle sticks, and x-rays. Italian private medicine began to suffer in the 1990s, when the "Clean Hands" political corruption scandal thinned the supply of dirty money. Since then, the cliniche have struggled to fill beds. Notwithstanding seemingly perennial economic crises, the reality is that much-improved national care, some of it world-class, and European options, have pushed costly private hospitals to the brink of irrelevance. Why pay for private care when you can get treated just as well for free here or elsewhere in the European Union?
Some private hospitals have responded by striking deals with the National Health Service. Public funds are used to cover room and operating suite while the patient pays the surgeon and anesthesiologist. Others — though half-empty — stay afloat by stiffing their medical staff. Some Rome cliniche eager to improve their competitive edge have set aside financial woes and have gone ahead with expensive renovation schemes, making up for cash shortfalls by pocketing the money sent by insurance companies to cover doctors' fees.
I've been waiting 18 months to get €550 for one patient's brief hospitalization. A surgeon friend claims he's owed €150,000.
Then again, nearly everybody in Rome scrambles to cobble together a living, though watching the elegant figures parade down city streets you'd never know it. While building up my practice, funding my office rent by doing medical translations, I sometimes waited a year to be paid (my 1987 tax refund came through in 1992). Rome is known for late pay. My musician husband may get his concert fee the same night, a year later, or never. When it comes to steady income, not even a permanent full-time civil service job is a sure thing. A public hospital doc in my office hasn't been paid for six months. Thank heavens for the long-suffering Italian family, a resilient and surefire backup system guaranteed to ward off starvation.

DIAMOND, JOHN ROBERSON
Matthew K. Hamilton
DIAMOND, JOHN ROBERSON (1820–1880). John Roberson Diamond, businessman, farmer, and Confederate military officer, was born on May 14, 1820, in DeKalb County, Georgia. Sometime near 1840 John married Emiline R. The couple subsequently had ten children: Nancy G. (b. 1841), Frances L. (b. 1842), James L. (b. 1844), Warner N. (b. 1846), William W. (b. 1848), George Ann (b. 1850), Mary I. (b. 1852), John W. (b. 1854), Ely F. (b. 1856), and Amanda O. (b. 1859). By 1850 Diamond and his family had settled in Rusk County, Texas, where he worked as a farmer. By 1860 the Diamond family had moved to Grayson County where he settled west of Whitesboro. John's brother, James J., also settled in Grayson County, and the two became partners in operating a depot of the Butterfield Overland Mail at Diamond's Station.
Diamond was an active Mason and Odd Fellow in Grayson County. He served as secretary of the Mason's Whitesboro Lodge, No. 263 and was a charter member of the Odd Fellows B. F. Christian Lodge, No. 102.
John Diamond was an ardent and outspoken secessionist in Grayson County. Only days after Lincoln's election, on November 23, 1860, he chaired a secessionist public meeting in Whitesboro. Diamond called on a select committee to draw up a resolution that requested Gov. Sam Houston to take steps to ascertain the will of the Texas people with regard to secession. To Diamond and the committee, Lincoln's election and his "emphatic endorsement" of the Republican platform that was "in violent opposition of southern interests, and southern institutions," was proof that Texas should leave the Union. It was out of this secessionist mindset that Diamond decided to enlist for service in the Confederate Army when war finally came.
In April and May 1863 James Bourland began organizing a cavalry regiment of five companies that subsequently became known as Bourland's Border Regiment, Texas Cavalry. At the time of this unit's formation, Diamond was elected to the rank of major. Bourland's Border Regiment was assigned to the Trans-Mississippi Department and given the task of protecting the northern border of Texas, hence the name of the regiment.
In October 1863 Diamond was put in command of the Brush Battalion, a group of men assembled by Henry Boren—a deserter from the Tenth Texas Cavalry Battalion—at the behest of Henry E. McCulloch, who declared that eligible men in North Texas either had to join the army and remain there, leave the country, or be killed. Initially the men of the Brush Battalion were hesitant to serve in Bourland's regiment, because they feared their enlistment was a trick by the commanding officer to hang or shoot them. Bourland's reputation for his role in the Great Hanging at Gainesville, Texas, preceded him. However, after discovering that they would be serving under the command of Diamond, the men of the Brush Battalion were reassured, because he had no direct role in the controversial event.
While in command of the Brush Battalion, Diamond was responsible for hunting deserters in the Forks of North Texas. However, on March 26, 1864, Diamond was dispatched along with two companies of the regiment to Fort Arbuckle in present-day Oklahoma. This assignment embroiled Diamond in numerous controversies that were characteristic of North Texas during and after the Civil War. For example, in the spring of 1864 James M. Luckey, a former constable and town treasurer of Weatherford, was rumored to be planning to lead a group of renegades and deserters to establish communications with Union forces and help facilitate a Federal invasion of East Texas. Bourland was alerted to the scheme by William Quayle. In response, Bourland dispatched 100 men under the command of Diamond to Parker County in order to arrest Luckey and his cohorts.
In the end, only fourteen men were charged with any crime, but Diamond added to that total by arresting militia captains Isaac Ward and Charles Adare. These men had actually been part of Diamond's arresting force but were accused of aiding Luckey's men in escaping. After the arrest of Luckey and his men in Parker County, Bourland turned to purging the troops under his command of Unionist sympathizers and would-be deserters. In April 1864 Diamond reported to Bourland that twenty men in a company of the regiment stationed at Head of Elm had already deserted and that more were sure to follow. Bourland ordered Diamond and a select force loyal to the Confederacy to prevent more desertions. Diamond and his men moved on Head of Elm, surrounded the post, and opened fire on its inhabitants. James L. Clark, a militia captain at Head of Elm, claimed that Diamond's men tied prisoners to nearby trees and shot them numerous times.
In April 1864 McCulloch asked Gen. John B. Magruder for more troops to increase Bourland's command to the size of a regiment. Magruder sent four more companies to Bourland and promoted him to the rank of colonel. On May 13, 1864, Diamond was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel. However, due to the deteriorating situation for Texans loyal to the Confederacy (renegades continued to make life miserable) and Bourland's tactics, many men on his staff began to question his command. Diamond led the primary faction that opposed Bourland, but his mutinous attitude towards Bourland did little to mitigate the threat that renegades posed to the security of North Texas or to solve the problem of deserters. Regardless, on February 10, 1865, Diamond assumed de facto command of the regiment but still reported to Bourland, per McCulloch.
In the spring of 1865 more than 100 deserters organized in Wise County in the hopes of escaping to Mexico, California, or Kansas. Troops led by Diamond set out to capture the renegades. On April 3, 1865, Diamond and his men located the renegades' camp and attacked and ran off their horses. Surrounded, the renegades sued for negotiations, but this was broken off when Diamond was captured. He was released only after he assured he would return the horses that his men had run off. Once released, however, Diamond threatened to renew the attack which prompted more than 100 deserters and renegades to surrender.
After the war, Diamond returned to Grayson County where on January 9, 1880, he died. Diamond was buried in the Diamond Family Cemetery in Whitesboro, Grayson County.

There will be an insurgence going forward of I-9 audits in relation to workers employed within the United States. All U.S. employers are required to verify the identity and work authorization of their U.S. employees hired after the year 1986, according to the Immigration Reform and Control Act. Employers should document employment authorization verification on Form I-9. Further, employers are required by law to maintain the forms for government inspections.
These audits are performed by the Department of Justice, Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices, Department of Labor, and are carried out by Immigration Customs Enforcement ("ICE") agents. ICE initiates an I-9 audit by serving a Notice of Inspection ("NOI"); this includes a request to a company to produce I-9 forms and other relevant documents related to its employees.
By conducting internal I-9 audits annually, employers can make correctable revisions on their employee's I-9 forms as well as prepare the supporting documents that ICE may request in an either an NOI or subpoena. ICE encourages employers to conduct self-audits of their companies to ensure compliance. It is also recommended to prepare any questions ahead of time as to what further compliance or action may be required.
If the employer needs to extend the three business-day document production deadlines, they must submit a written request to ICE explaining their reasoning for the request and also provide a proposed timeline for when they will produce the documents. It is up to the specific ICE office and agent conducting the investigation as to whether ICE will grant an extension to provide documentation.
The agent or auditor will be reviewing the forms and documents for at least several weeks. Therefore, before the document production deadline, an employer should make a complete copy of all I-9 forms and other documents that they are producing to ICE. As with all workplace investigations where documents leave the building, it is highly recommended to request a submitted document receipt.
More information on the auditing process can be found here.
If you have any questions regarding I-9 forms, ICE audits, or any other aspect of labor and employment law, please contact the attorneys at Royal, P.C.

Posted on October 2, 2015 October 2, 2015 by The Story Reading Ape
Once upon a time, I spent a year living on the west coast of Ireland, in the rural region of Inverin, while I worked thirteen miles down the coast road in Galway City. I had the best of both worlds, for Galway City is a vibrant college town with cobblestone streets in its center, where local musicians busk for change before pubs as old as the streets themselves, and locals come in from the outlying areas for the day to tend to important business. Contrarily, Inverin, Ireland is a land separated into geometric prisms by grey-stone walls leading down to the rock encrusted shores of the Atlantic on one side of the coast road and bog-land that stretches out forever on the other. Inverin is known as the gateway to Connemara, and is part of a region known as the Gaeltech, which refers to the area on the west coast where the Irish language is predominantly spoken, and the "old ways" are kept. It was a pivotal, life-enhancing year. Between the time I arrived in Ireland and the time I moved back to Los Angeles, I managed to ingratiate myself into the rhythm of a land that has more soul and character than any place I'd ever imagined.
When I lived in Ireland, I considered myself only capable of writing poetry, which I did every so often in the daily journal I kept, in a spiral-ringed notebook I kept in the holiday home I rented. At the end of each day, I'd take my journal and sit out in the glassed-in porch that faced the rolling, green fields, before the Atlantic, and write down my impressions of the fascinating things that happened to me each day in this beautiful, pastoral land, which was so rich in cultural nuances. What was interesting to me was realizing that as time flowed on, the cultural nuances and social mores of Ireland started to make sense, and it seemed I exchanged my American frame of reference in favor of a softer, more authentic way of being in the world.
At the end of my time spent in Ireland, I returned to Los Angeles and brought my journal with me. Every so often I'd look at its pages and reflect upon my Irish days nostalgically, and as I did, it occurred to me I had the setting of a good story. I decided to try my hand at writing a novel, so I took the experience of living in Ireland and drafted a novel about a single American female who leaves the record business in Los Angeles and relocates to rural Ireland, where she meets an Irish traditional musician who won't come closer nor completely go away. The novel is entitled, "Dancing to an Irish Reel," and I went out of my way not to patronize anything about Ireland– particularly its people. I wanted to refrain from bringing an American frame of reference to the book because I felt it had been done before and somehow cheated what I wanted to be the point of the story, which concerns the ambiguity of a budding love relationship with its attendant excitement, hope and doubt. On the one hand, this story could have happened anywhere (I know of very few people who haven't been thrown into confusion as they navigate the minefield of new found attraction) but because this story takes place in Ireland, I had the opportunity to highlight a setting in possession of unfathomable beauty, with a history of cultural nuances worth the singing of deep praise.
The truth is, it's difficult in this day and age for a virtually unknown author to find an open door in the publishing world, and at the time, I wasn't interested in self-publishing, for I knew nothing about it. After buying "The Writer's Market," I studied the logistics of writing a query letter to a literary agent then sent one out to a handful of literary agents over an eight month period. There was no avail. But I was convinced I had a great story, one that would especially speak to those who knew the reality of new-found love, which doesn't always have a clean ending. I believed in the story, yet also believed in being practical, so I put my manuscript aside and wrote another novel on a subject that has always fascinated me, which is the validity of the idea of past lives.
I wrote my second novel in two time periods that fit together like pieces of a puzzle because I wanted to keep the reader on their toes. It was not my intention to answer the question of whether or not we have lived before, only to raise the question and leave it up to the reader. I titled the novel, "A Portal in Time" and looked online for publishers who put out paranormal novels, for this is the genre in which my book fit. I found a publishing house based in South Carolina named Vinspire Publishing, whose track record was impressive. In blind faith, I followed their submission guidelines and submitted my query letter and first three chapters, and good fortune rained down when I was offered a contract.
I cannot wax enough about what I learned from working in tandem with my publisher as we got "A Portal in Time" out into the world. To say I learned the intricacies of marketing and promotions is putting it mildly, and as I did so, I went back to my draft of "Dancing to an Irish Reel" and revised the manuscript. In time, I submitted the manuscript to Vinspire, knowing there was no guarantee of its publication, for Vinspire has an acquisition process that is not contingent upon what an author has produced before. I know now that because I kept the faith in "Dancing to an Irish Reel" and stayed the course, and because I was willing to revise the manuscript, with an eye towards what I'd learned in the editing process with "A Portal in Time" that what I considered my Irish labor of love was ready for publication, and I was blessed to have a publishing home that saw its merit.
What I learned from my road to publication has to do with the tenacity to stay the course. A writer has to have the humility to be willing to learn and grown while they keep the faith in their work. If they do this, wonderful things happen.
Claire Fullerton is the author of "Dancing to an Irish Reel" (Literary Fiction) and "A Portal in Time," (Paranormal Mystery), both from Vinspire Publishing.
She is an award winning essayist, a contributor to magazines, a five time contributor to the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book series, and a former newspaper columnist.
Claire grew up in Memphis, and now divides her time between Malibu and Carmel, CA with her husband and two German shepherds.
She has recently completed her third novel, which is a Southern family saga set in Memphis.

New Film Tells The Story Of Oscar Zeta Acosta, Hunter S. Thompson's 'Dr. Gonzo'
The legendary Chicano activist gets the PBS documentary treatment.
By Michael MarksMarch 23, 2018 2:27 pmArts & Culture
Gabriel Cristóver Pérez/KUT News
If you grew up far from the border, you may only know of Oscar Zeta Acosta as the inspiration for Hunter S. Thompson's, Fear and Loathing sidekick, Dr. Gonzo. There is a lot more to Acosta and a new PBS documentary, "The Rise and Fall of the Brown Buffalo," tells the whole story of the Chicano activist.
"Oscar was a peculiar bird," says director Phillip Rodriguez. "He was a big fat Mexican guy who was confrontational and funny and talented."
Acosta had a sense he may not be appreciated in his own lifetime so he set about branding himself before there was such a notion. He gave himself many nicknames like Brown Buffalo, General Zeta and Doctor Gonzo, the last of which, would find a lasting place in the American imagination.
His story starts in El Paso. Acosta came from a time where there was an easy flow between El Paso and its sister city, Ciudad Juarez.
"Life on the border where it wasn't that big scar, that big militarized wall," Rodriguez says. "He describes El Paso and his experience there on the border very tenderly and with a great deal of nostalgia."
Acosta then moved to California, a place he felt had much more rigid cultural and racial lines. He would become the first person in his family to receive a college education, eventually learning a law degree.
"The law disgusts him," Rodriguez says. "He already realizes the fix is in and the rich get all the benefits and the rewards and the best protection."
When he saw the dissent and poverty in Los Angeles he made it his mission to become a leader in the community.
"Oscar was so talented, and he was so crazy, and he was so hungry," Rodriguez says. "He had kind of messianic feelings about himself. He had a sense of himself as a man of destiny."
Acosta's talents pulled him in many different directions. After he burned himself out practicing law, he left California. He went to Ketchum, Idaho looking for Ernest Hemingway's grave so he could ask the writer's for spirit permission to become a superior novelist. After that he found his way to Aspen, Colorado, where he met the young Hunter S. Thompson.
"According to Hunter, Oscar walked into the bar and announced he was the trouble we'd all been waiting for," Rodriguez says. "There begins a real bromance."
Rodriguez remembers watching the 2016 presidential election returns come in with his production team and thinking this was now a perfect moment for Acosta.
"This administration is using Mexicans as rhetorical fodder and is coming after the youngsters," he says. "Oscar's reemergence now is very timely."
Acosta's messiness has caused him to be overlooked by history – that's why Rodriguez wants to present Acosta in all his messy glory.
"Most often, civil rights leaders are depicted in a monumental way. They're already bronzed and polished and perfected," he says. "All of their contradiction and their rage has been obscured."
Acosta stayed on the fringe until he disappeared at age 39. His son is rumored to have been the last one to have seen him but no one is really sure what happened to the activist. He made claims that he was running guns, selling drugs, and planning to assassinate Richard Nixon. Rodriguez believes the mystery around Acosta's final years only adds to his legend.
"It's hard to really know what happened," he says. "That's why Oscar is kind of pristine. He remains mythic and I think he would like that. I think the audience will really like that."

Recently, we visited an awesome beach in Kittery, ME, called Fort Foster. I wanted to make a layout with some photos from the beach, and decided to merge traditional and pocket style scrapping into one two page layout. I adore the result.
I chose the Polka Dot Party line (Project Life kit plus 6x6 paper pad) as the main product in my layout. Then I filled in with just a few items from my stash.
This layout is based on a sketch from Pamela Young. The background paper is from Studio Calico's Abroad collection. (I found a pack of 25 sheets of this for $3 at Big Lots). I used Stampin' Up!'s Chocolate Chip card stock behind a turquoise card stock, and then layered strips from the 6x6 Polka Dot Party paper pad. I used a 1" and 2" circle punch for the circles, and I cut my paper strips to 1/2 inch wide.
My title and subtitle are done using thickers and alpha stickers from October Afternoon's Daily Flash collection. (Mason Jar/Grey Flannel). The date die cut is also from this collection (Girl Talk Snap Caps).
On the right side of the spread, I used a Design A pocket page so I could include more photos.
I added journaling cards from the Polka Dot Party mini kit. There are a few more die cuts from October Afternoon, and a random frame that I had in my stash (trimmed down with my craft knife). The little "love" sticker was, I think, from My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing.
I made a custom flair by punching a 1" circle from one of the Polka Dot Party journaling cards, and adding an epoxy sticker on top.
I will definitely be doing more two page layouts in the future!
These are so beautiful! Love that photo under the pier.

The Development of the Industrial United States (1870-1900) from The National Archives
Early Industrialization
The earliest settlers to Ohio worked in agriculture but by the 19th century, industrialization began to creep into Ohio. The earliest factories processed agricultural products like tobacco, wool, and pork or manufactured farming machinery like reapers and mowers. Industrial production expanded as paved roads, turnpikes, steamboats, railroads, and canals facilitated transportation of products to markets. Steamboats increased the need for coal mining. Learn about Ohio's iron industry. Study working conditions during early industrialization and how they necessitated the rise of labor organizations. Evaluate the consequences of industrialization and identify the industrial centers of Ohio.
Industrialization English 1180

Industrialization and Its Consequences
Industrialization led to political, economic, technological, cultural, and environmental changes in the 19th century. Wood was replaced by fossil fuels. The human population doubled in a little over a century. Mass production was applied to textiles, food processing, metallurgy, and chemical industries. European migrants flocked to the Americas by steamship and railroads to find familiar temperate climates. These immigrants outnumbered the indigenous people and exploited natural resources. African migrants were brought as slaves, and Asian migrants often came as indentured servants. Democracy gained power, but so did colonial empires. People died in famines as grain was exported for profit.

Impact of Industrialism
The development of new machines and factories revolutionized the economy in the middle of the 19th century. Mass production became typical while transcontinental railroads provided a way to get goods to new markets. The population shifted toward urban areas in search of jobs but many found employer exploitation, insufficient housing, and other urban problems.

Business, Labor, and Technology in the Gilded Age (1868-1922)
Called captains of industry, entrepreneurs like Carnegie and Rockefeller were also known as robber barons. These business tycoons built monopolistic corporations based on ruthless competition. Yet, they contributed millions to philanthropy. They were part of the Gilded Age in industry and railroads, a Second Industrial Revolution that shaped American business and economics. Ida Tarbell, an investigative journalist, revealed the monopolistic tactics of Standard Oil and was called a muckraker. Carnegie sought to undersell his competitors at all costs.

Although considered clever and daring, business tycoons are also assumed to be corrupt and exploit workers. Some capitalists use philanthropy to try to improve their reputation, but Cornelius Vanderbilt didn't worry about what people thought of him. The richest man in 19th century America, he didn't apologize for his wealth. He thought people should be grateful for the steamships, railroads, and Grand Central Terminal he provided.

Austroads has released a report outlining proposals to mitigate barriers to driver licence ownership and retention by Indigenous and other road users.
Lack of appropriate access to driver licensing services is a barrier to employment, economic participation and access to government and non-government services by Indigenous people and other road user groups.
The study examined the impact of social and economic disadvantage experienced by Indigenous Australians in relation to transport access, transport related contact with the justice system and road trauma.
The publication presents a summary of the views of jurisdictions expressed at an Indigenous Licensing Forum and a review of the literature relating to driver licence acquisition and maintenance by Indigenous communities.
A survey of jurisdictional policies and programs provided evidence of close alignment between the conclusions of the literature and the experience of jurisdictions in designing and delivering licensing programs to Indigenous communities in the context of current policy settings in transport and justice.
a draft national minimum data set and suggested reporting and dissemination framework to assist program improvements and maximise the impact of jurisdictional design and innovation.
The degree of congruence between the literature, the priorities expressed at the workshop and the responses of each jurisdiction to the survey provides a clear indication of a shared concern for improved practice and the continuing priority being given to the resolution of a significant social and economic challenge.

Engineering the next giant leap for mankind
Biological research will be key to realising deep space travel
Hailed as one of man's greatest achievements, the first moon landing catalysed our yearning to venture further into space. However, mankind must understand and overcome the biological challenges of long term space travel before advancing deeper. The BAMMsat project aims to enable biological research that will uncover these mysteries, using technology supplied by FAULHABER distributor EMS.
The next major milestone in our quest to uncover the mysteries of deep space is a manned mission to Mars, which NASA estimates will be achievable in the 2030s. Space exploration pushes the boundaries of science and technology, as well as the limits of the human body. Before we send astronauts further into space, we must expand our knowledge of the resulting long term effects of microgravity and high radiation on the human body.
The objective of the BAMMsat-on-BEXUS project is to improve technology for biological research in space, with an ultimate aim to support human spaceflight. The technology is being developed by academics and students from two UK universities ― Cranfield University and the University of Exeter.
Science in small spaces
The project team is developing a miniaturised lab system that is compatible with 3U CubeSats, a sub-type of miniaturised satellites designed for space research, consisting of three units stacked together. The compact system holds many advantages over other techniques used to research the influence of space conditions on living systems.
"Researching the effects of microgravity and radiation in on-ground facilities has technical constraints that can add complexity to data interpretation," explained Aqeel Shamsul, a PhD student at Cranfield University and head of the project. "However, in-flight experiments come with their own challenges, often entailing expensive launch missions.
"These factors are limiting research into the effects of environmental space factors on biological systems, therefore impeding progress in deep space travel. We're combatting this by designing a cheaper way to conduct biological research in space, with a system that can facilitate experiments within remarkably small dimensions."
The lab system includes a disk with multiple chambers along its edge that contain the isolated biological samples. A motorised system turns the disk to position different chambers opposite microfluidic inlet and outlet openings, which can channel small amounts of fluids without human intervention. The device can then supply food or extract waste from the samples using a fluidic pump.
The disk can also be turned to orientate a chamber in front of a microscope, which can send an image of the sample back to researchers on Earth. In addition, the rotating disk allows the samples to be aligned with a visible spectrometer. This technology can measure the amount of light absorbed, reflected or transmitted from the sample to reveal certain biochemical characteristics, such as protein quantification.
Compared to other equivalent systems that have one block containing one sample, the multi-chambered disk system allows numerous experiments with different samples to occur simultaneously. Biological samples can include microorganisms such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans).
C. elegans in particular is a valuable study organism for researching the effect long term space travel will have on the human body. This is because both humans and C. elegans are eukaryotic organisms, and share many genes and molecular pathways.
These factors, along with the fact that the genome of C. elegans has been completely sequenced, allow them to be used as a model organism in experiments that research human disease progression. At only a millimetre long, and with minimal survival requirements, they can be relatively easily transported into space with minimal human intervention.
"As well as using a small organism, light weighting other components of the system was important to ensure the satellite could be viably and economically launched into space," added Shamsul. "One area where this had to be considered in detail was the motor system used to turn the disk containing sample chambers."
Motors to match
A high torque was required to turn the disk, but the motor system needed to deliver this power while remaining compact. To achieve this, sole UK supplier of FAULHABER motors, EMS, was brought into the project.
"The knowledgeable team at EMS were incredibly helpful in the selection of a motor system," said Shamsul. "We originally considered a stepper motor for the BAMMsat system, but EMS showed us that a brushed DC motor would better fit our torque and space requirements."
EMS conducted thorough calculations to find a system that would deliver maximum performance in the given space envelope. After careful consideration, a 22 millimetre (mm) diameter brushed motor from the FAULHABER SR series was selected. The motor was paired with an encoder to deliver fine speed control, as well as a planetary gearhead to maximise torque.
FAULHABER systems are renowned for their high power density, packing high performance in a compact package. The small and lightweight motor system ensured minimal weight and bulk was added to the CubeSat. All FAULHABER systems are made in a highly accurate manufacturing process, ensuring supreme reliability. This, paired with their high efficiency, makes them a dependable option to drive a system being sent into space.
The BAMMsat system is planned to be launched into the stratosphere in October 2021. With the help of the Swedish National Space Agency, German Aerospace Centre (DLR), European Space Agency and their partners, the prototype will be flown using a high-altitude balloon. This will allow the BAMMsat team to test aspects of the system, such as the control system and payload hardware, in a spaceflight-representative environment.
The ultimate aim of the stratosphere mission is to increase the system's Technology Readiness Level (TRL). Developed by NASA, the TRL scale measures the maturity of a particular technology on a scale of one to nine, with one meaning it's at basic research level, and nine indicating it's been flight proven through successful mission operations. Once the BAMMsat system has been validated for future missions, it could go on to conduct biological research in low Earth orbit (LOE) and deep space, including trips to the International Space Station (ISS).
"The BAMMsat project is a result of impressive collaboration between a number of engineering sectors, incorporating aerospace, biological and mechanical expertise," said Dave Walsha, sales manager at EMS. "The potential of the system to enable safe long term space travel is sensational.
"It's been exciting to collaborate with the BAMMsat team, with the work aligning closely to EMS's commitment to high tech novel systems," added Walsha. "In addition to supporting established engineering businesses, we recognise that university projects are at the forefront of technology, and EMS endeavours to contribute to these ventures to support the next generation of engineers."
The BAMMsat project will help fill the knowledge gap in long term human duration in space. If your next project requires a high performance motor system that meets small space requirements, then get in touch with the EMS team at www.ems-limited.co.uk.
