Intracompany Transferee
Overview of the L-1A Visa
By Davidson & Seseri, LLC
The L-1 visa allows individuals to transfer between a foreign company and a U.S. company that is related as a parent, branch, affiliate or a subsidiary thereof.
The acceptable relationships are defined as follows:
"Parent" means a firm, corporation, or other legal entity that has subsidiaries.
"Branch" means an operating division or office of the same organization housed in a different location.
"Subsidiary" means a firm, corporation, or other legal entity that a parent owns & controls.
"Affiliate" means one of two subsidiaries, both of which are owned and controlled by the same parent or individual; or, one of two legal entities and controlled by the same group of individuals owning and controlling approximately the same share or proportion of the entities.
The proof that the U.S. and foreign company counterpart are related in one of the three acceptable relationships, is evidenced by proof of common ownership of 50% or more, which in larger companies may be in the form of the most recent annual report, but in smaller companies is often documented by establishing the types of business entity formed and their ownership through production of stock certificates or partnership agreements.
Additionally, the employer must be "doing business" in the United States and abroad during the L-1 period of validity. This means the regular, systematic and continuous provision of goods and/or services by the qualifying organization and does not include the mere presence of an agent or office in the United States or abroad. In order to prove that the company[ies] are doing business in the United States and abroad, company income tax returns (US and foreign), and payroll records (US and foreign) and similar type evidence are often included in the filing.
THE QUALIFICATIONS OF THE FOREIGN EMPLOYEE
In order to be eligible for an L-1 visa, the foreign employee must has been employed abroad with the related organization for one continuous year within three years before the application for admission, in one of three qualifying categories listed below:
"Manager of the organization, or a department, subdivision or essential function of the organization; has the authority to hire and fire; and if a first line supervisor, supervises employees who possess professional qualifications. Normally this function must be more than 50% of the individuals' job duties while in the United States, although USCIS exercises greater latitude with such applications if it is a start-up enterprise.
"Executive" directs the management of the organization or major component of the organization; establishes the goals and policies for the organization; and exercises wide latitude concerning discretionary determinations that are significant to the organization.
"Specialized Knowledge" must be possessed by an individual of the petitioning organization's product, service, research, equipment, techniques, management or other interests and its application in the international markets, or an advanced level of knowledge or expertise in the organization's processes or procedures.
The employee who transfers to the United States in any of these three categories must work primarily as a manager, executive or as an individual possessing specialized knowledge. The term "primarily" means 50 percent or more of the time.
The duties the employee will perform in the United States must be described in sufficient detail to fit within one of these categories.
The L visa is issued for a three-year period subject to being extended up to seven years for executives or managers and five years for individuals possessing "specialized knowledge." In the case of a start-up company, USCIS normally grants the initial L visa for one year subject to extensions if the growth of the U.S. entity is sufficient to support an L-1 manager in the United States or an individual with specialized knowledge.
The list below is intended for L-1 transfers from a foreign company to the U.S. related enterprise. The list is a generic one that will vary depending upon the type of relationship existing between the U.S. and foreign company (subsidiary, parent, branch or affiliate) and if the U.S. entity is a start-up or an existing U.S. company.
Documents regarding USA Company
Lease –
State filing for entity
Employee Chart (if transfer is for a managerial or executive position)

May require proof of ownership and control if the U.S. company is the parent of the foreign company.
Documents regarding the Transferee

Evidence of employment with Foreign Company for at least one year in the prior three years
If the U.S. and foreign companies are affiliated, the L-1 documentation will also require proof that the third-party owner has ownership and control of both the U.S. and foreign entities.
The L-1A petition also includes a detailed letter that describes the U.S. duties of the manager or executive being transferred. These duties must be broken down into percentages of daily tasks that overall reflect the majority of assignments are managerial or executive.
Finally, the lists above are examples of documents that are normally filed with L-1 petition. In most cases, there is some to considerable variance from this list as to what is available and what will be filed.
All fields are required. Please leave this field empty.

BOOKING PHOTO AND REPORT: Suspect in Custody After Two BPD Officers Struck by Motor Vehicle Near Puerto Rican Parade in Jamaica Plain
The information and images contained in this article may be delayed due to the FOIA and public records guidelines which allow departments and government agencies to take up-to multiple months to fulfill requests such as providing booking photos or documents. The inculded reports have been redacted by both BPD as well as Live Boston Staff for reasons of investigatory purpose as well as officer safety.
FROM BPDNEWS: At about 12:20 PM on Sunday July 31, 2022, two Boston Police Officers were struck by a motor vehicle in the area of Peter Parley Road and Walnut Avenue in Jamaica Plain. The officers were working a traffic post in support of the Puerto Rican Parade when a vehicle approached a wooden barrier which had been placed at the intersection. The operator of the vehicle, later identified as Jamauree Haygood, 28, of Jamaica Plain, ignored numerous verbal commands issued by the officers advising him to seek an alternate route and proceeded to drive through the barriers, striking the officers, before coming to a stop.
Both officers were immediately transported to local area hospitals for treatment of injuries which are considered non-life-threatening in nature at this time.
The suspect was placed in custody without further incident and will appear in West Roxbury District Court on charges of including Operating a Motor Vehicle Recklessly so as to Endanger and Assault and Battery by Means of a Dangerous Weapon.
"I'm relieved that our two officers are safe with only minor injuries, but this was too close of a call," said Mayor Michelle Wu. "I'm wishing them a speedy recovery and grateful that they and all our officers were present with us in the community keeping residents safe during today's festivities."
Two Officers Hit, Firearm Recovered and More During Puerto Rican Festival
Superintendent-in-Chief Gregory Long stated, "This incident demonstrates the dangers our officers face on a daily basis while striving to protect the communities we serve. I'm grateful the officers injuries are non-life threatening and that they will be able to return to their families tonight."

Q: trying to remove list element with index found in another function Using the function
searchAccount
I found the index of a list element that I searched for using the user's input. I want to use that same index to pop the element from the list. This should be super simple but there's so much in this file now that it's hard to comprehend.
def deleteAccount(customerID):
#make sure the user intends to delete their account
    checkInput = str(input(("Would are you sure you would like to delete your account? Enter y for yes or n for no. ")))
    checkInput = checkInput.lower()

    searchAccount(customerID)

    if checkInput == "y":
        customerlist.pop(i)

    elif checkInput == "n":
        return

# Search
#Look up the account information based on the customer ID.
#
def searchAccount(yourID):

    global idLocation
    global customerlist

    with open("customers.txt", "r") as f:
        customerlist = [line.strip() for line in f]

    index = -1
    for i in range(len(customerlist)):
        if yourID in customerlist[i]:
           index = i
           break

    if index > -1:
        #print('Index was {}'.format(i))
        print(customerlist[i])

A: Removed irrelevant parts for simplicity
def deleteAccount(customerID):

    index = searchAccount(customerID)

    if checkInput == "y":
        customerlist.pop(index)

def searchAccount(yourID):

    if index > -1:
        #print('Index was {}'.format(i))
        print(customerlist[i])

    return index

Just a heads up, I don't have the vision of your code as a whole but you might want to search for the user's account ONLY if he intends to delete it (i.e. after checking the checkInput variable).
Nonetheless, the code above should fix your issue.

Creating 'Us' on the Pitch: Identity Politics in Hong Kong Football
November 16, 2015 Justin Cheuk
English, Hong Kong, Interests, Languages, Sports
from SCMP
The Hong Kong national football team will play their 'big brother/Darth Vader', PR China, on Tuesday 17th, in what is billed as the most important match for Hong Kong in decades.
After the improbable draw in Shenzhen last September, subsequent hard-fought victories away in Bhutan and Maldives has kept the team in contention for a place in Russia 2018 and, perhaps more realistically, a return to the Asian Cup in UAE in 2019. The valiant performance of team Hong Kong has greatly impressed Hong Kongers to the extent that local football has unexpectedly become the talk of the town: interest has surged and it is widely assumed that the red flag (signalling a full house) will be raised for the contest in Mong Kok on Tuesday.
As things usually are these days between Hong Kong and China, this highly-anticipated matchup cannot escape controversy. Hong Kongers were not best pleased with the Chinese FA's (supposedly) light-hearted attempt at distinguishing the 'black-skinned, yellow-skinned and white-skinned' Hong Kong players; while those north of the Shenzhen river were aggrieved by the booing of some Hong Kong fans over the March of the Volunteers, the national anthem for both countries.
It is often suggested that sports and politics should not mix. However, this notion remains romantic ideal and ignores the political relevance and resonance of a representative team. Simply put, political reasons often provide the main impetus of support for such a team, if not its entire purpose of existence. Despite a reasonable chance of qualification, it is fair to suggest the recent surge of identification and popularity with team Hong Kong was driven by the growing unease between Hong Kong and China. Indeed, this is a recurring event: throughout Hong Kong history, representation in football has shaped and redefined the city's identity and psyche.
Much like elsewhere, football first appeared in the shores of Hong Kong on the decks of the British Royal Navy and the Artillery Corps but significantly earlier than the rest of East Asia. This gave the city a head start in its development: Hong Kong boasts the oldest existing football club (HKFC, founded 1886), knock-out cup (Senior Shield, 1896) and league (1908) competition in Asia. At its advent, football was an exclusively British affair with the Chinese barred from playing; this changed in 1904 with the creation of what would become South China AA. Intended to ditch the notion of the Chinese as 'East Asia's sick man', the team united the Chinese population and regularly challenged for dominance over the British teams. It was eventually accepted into league football in 1917 and began its journey to become by far the most decorated Hong Kong club with its first title in 1922.
Meanwhile, the clamour for a Chinese team grew beyond the city limits: in 1910, missionaries organised (what was recognised later as) the first All-China Games and asked southern China to send a football team. Being decades ahead of its mainland counterparts, a Hong Kong team took the place and duly won the tournament, thus ushering a sixty-year tradition of HK players representing the Chinese national team. It would go on to win the Far Eastern Championship, a precursor to the Asian Games, a record six times in a row, cementing Hong Kong's position as the kings of football in Asia. Chinese nationalism and the desire to represent the nation in the Olympics has propelled many Hong Kong players to appear for China instead of Hong Kong and the trend continued even after 1949. The best of what the Hong Kong football could offer, including Cheung Chi Doy, the first and to date only, HK-born player to appear and score in a European top flight (for Blackpool in 1961), all pledged their allegiance to the Republic of China and was instrumental in the two Asian Games wins in the 1950s*. In the first half of the 20th century, Hong Kong looked the Chinese nation and the footballers followed.
from Coconuts HK
The situation changed in the 1970s: as the ROC lost most of its position as 'China' to the PRC, Taiwan also brokered a deal to no longer select Hong Kong players for its representative sides. It is only since then that the best of Hong Kong players played for its own team, although its emotional pull quickly became apparent. The 1980s was a decade of uncertainty in Hong Kong, and the unease surrounding the handover has often cast China into the role of a powerful villain, much like on the pitch. Combine that with frequent meetings in qualifying groups due to geography, it is no surprise that a rivalry, if only a one-sided affair, developed. Team China has naturally dominated the matchup but Hong Kong has had its moments, notably denying China a World Cup place with an away win in 1985. These results, transmitted through television, were widely celebrated and became a burgeoning symbol of a Hong Konger identity.
The fortunes of Hong Kong football declined in the 90s and 2000s. The local league was in a dire state marred by match-fixing while on the international level Hong Kong was no longer the force it used to be. Moreover, the handover has led to renewed identification as Chinese among Hong Kongers which further diluted the purpose and emotional ties to a separate representative side. Growing up in this era, I can attest that not much is known on Hong Kong sports while our attention was channelled towards China. I remember supporting China against brazil in the 2002 World Cup; and how during the Beijing Olympics the Chinese team was well-supported in the city as well.
However, local football is making its comeback. The 2009 East Asian Games gold, first ever tournament win in Hong Kong history, may have kickstarted the process, but it is the resurgence of localism and the heightened conflict and resentment between Hong Kong and China that once again brought the team into the forefront. Football is one of the few areas in the post-handover Hong Kong where the difference from China is clearly demarcated. As Hong Kongers, particularly the younger generation, seek to reject an overarching duty to be Chinese as Beijing required, the team allowed the projection of an individual, perhaps even independent, Hong Kong identity.
It is at this juncture that Hong Kong was coincidentally drawn in the same group as China. Given the political quagmire in the recent years, things have naturally become quite heated. The row over the poster provoked and challenged Hong Kong's position as an international city and multicultural society, where people can become Hong Kongers if they so wished, just as many of our ancestors did when they arrived from China. Meanwhile, some supporter's booing of Hong Kong's own national anthem stems from their frustration that an identity and political system not of their own choosing was enforced upon them (hence it is often suggested that a Hong Kong song should be sung instead). Regardless, football has aptly provided a platform in which to showcase the city and present an alternative projection of a different and distinct Hong Kong society. A cause, on a level playing field, for Hong Kongers, to say 'We are Hong Kong!' til the end.
I say 'level playing field' with an ironic smirk. Despite the recent purple patch and the home advantage, even the most hardcore supporters to struggle to deny that team Hong Kong remains firmly the underdog in this contest; and qualification to Russia is perhaps just a pipe dream. Nevertheless, as we have seen in September, nothing is impossible in football. To quote Yapp Hung-Fai, Hong Kong's no.1: 'we must believe in ourselves from the start until the very end'. Team Hong Kong has defied expectation many times – who says Tuesday cannot be another chapter of surprise?
*There are many factors as to why these players chose ROC over PRC. Anti-communist sentiments may be one, but perhaps also because they mostly played for clubs backed by ROC supporters and that only ROC could play Olympic football then.
This post is my first collaboration with Coconuts HK and first appeared there. I am grateful of the opportunity and hopefully this post will be the first of many!

IP Alert UPDATE: Patent Owners Can Recover Lost Profits in Export Cases
UPDATE: Today, in WesternGeco LLC v. ION Geophysical Corp., the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the earlier decision of the Federal Circuit, holding that, in fact, "lost profits" damages are available in cases of patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(f)(2).
Section 271 (f)(2) of the Patent Act specifies as follows:
Whoever without authority supplies or causes to be supplied in or from the United States any component of a patented invention that is especially made or especially adapted for use in the invention and not a staple article or commodity of commerce suitable for substantial noninfringing use, where such component is uncombined in whole or in part, knowing that such component is so made or adapted and intending that such component will be combined outside of the United States in a manner that would infringe the patent if such combination occurred within the United States, shall be liable as an infringer.
WesternGeco holds a number of patents relating to surveying equipment. Defendant ION Geophysical Corp. manufactured components of WesternGeco's patented invention and shipped them to companies abroad. Those companies combined the components, and, once so combined, the components formed an infringing system. ION's customers then used the system to compete with WesternGeco. WesternGeco sued ION and obtained a damages award that included tens of millions of dollars of lost profits, including profits lost because of foreign activity.
When ION appealed to the Federal Circuit, that court determined that "lost profits" damages were not available for infringement under section 271(f)(2). As reported in our earlier alert on this case, the Federal Circuit reasoned that the presumption against extraterritoriality of U.S. law precluded such damages. WesternGeco then successfully petitioned the Supreme Court for review.
Today, in a 7–2 decision, the Supreme Court reversed. The Court concluded that because the infringing conduct occurred within the United States, lost profits damages were properly awarded. The Court reasoned that the injury remained a domestic injury, and the foreign lost profits were a consequence of that domestic injury.
This case settles an important question of the application of damages under section 271(f)(2). Please contact a Fitch Even attorney with any questions concerning this decision.

MP Govt announces incentives for film, TV serial production
November 30, 2020 November 30, 2020 Ebangla Bureau 0 Comments
Madhya Pradesh is implementing several schemes for the promotion of film and TV serial production post unlock of the lockdown due to the pandemic. The state government has put in place a Standard Operating Guiding Principles to restart film shooting in a predominantly Hindi speaking state making it more viable and manageable for production of movies in Hindi and other languages. Availability of production facilities, Line Producers, Artists, Local Crew etc, makes it much more economical for shooting. Till now, more than 200 projects including feature films, TV Serial/Series, TVCs & Reality shows have been shot in Madhya Pradesh. These include Stree, Sui-Dhaga, Kalank, Manikarnika, Luka Chhupi, Padman, Toilet ek Prem Katha, Bajirao Mastani, Paan Singh Tomar, Lion, Aarakshan, Raajneeti.Currently, some renowned actors like Anupam Kher and Bhumi Phednekar have completed shooting in Madhya Pradesh for their movies. And few shootings with actors like Vidya Balan are in the pipeline around last week of November. Commenting on the restart of the shoot Anupam Kher said" It is picture wrap for our movie The Last Show!! What an amazing, creatively satisfying and courageous journey it has been. We will miss this time together. But I think we have created something, the memories of which will last us for a lifetime. 'Thank you' is a small expression to express our gratitude. But we couldn't have created this gem without the help of #MPGovt, local authorities and people of #Bhopal. Especially @mptourism dept. Jai Ho to you all. #Film #PassionAndPaseenaFilms" . Among the facilities available in the state for film and serial production are hassle-free approval, modern Infrastructure, omnipresent hotels, favorable law and order condition, cost effective infrastructure, crew, local talent and another skilled workforce, Hindi speaking people, food/cuisine flexibility and ideal climate. A dedicated online film web portal will be created to provide a single -point interface and time bound clearance mechanism for filmmakers intending to shoot in the state. All the applications will be received through online mode by the Film Facilitation Cell and action will be taken in coordination with the concerned department for permission. The Portal will also act as a platform for information dissemination related to film tourism policy and shall also act as a forum for the dissemination and the rules, regulations, also provide information on grants and other utility services. Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board is liable to coordinate with the different concerned departments for permission on behalf of Filmmakers. To simplify the shoot permission and making Madhya Pradesh a shooting friendly state, Film Tourism Policy has been worked out. The vision of this Policy is to make Madhya Pradesh a major Film making hub & generate a number of employment opportunities in the state. Madhya Pradesh Tourism has come forward to provide facilities to the producers and directors. Dedicated Film Facilitation cell has been created as a nodal agency to ease out the shooting permissions through single window clearance system.Identification of authentic shooting locations and '' Film Friendly Authorities and strong Govt. support'', remains our motto, says the MP Tourism authority.edited by PK Chakravarty

But here's the thing, you don't have to wait for one to magically arrive in your mailbox. You don't have to find your significance in the hand of another. You are loved deeply. She does have your back.
She's actually your greatest love of all: YOU.
This relationship you have with yourself needs to be tenderly cared for. The little girl inside of you wants your love, your acceptance, and your permission to grow into her potential in this world.
This Valentine's day, instead of spouting your love for someone else, write yourself, your inner girl, a love letter.
Find a sheet of stationery that invokes a feeling of romance and tenderness. Your computer is not an option.
Pick out your favorite pen that allows your words to appear as individual pieces of art.
If you have a picture of the younger version of you, the age where you feel she might have lost her spark, keep it near you so you can look at her while you write.
Create a sacred space. Light a candle, play some soothing music, and have a cup of tea, a glass a wine, or a shot of tequila.
Write to yourself. Look at her face in the picture. Know her fear, her apprehension, her longing for acceptance.
Tell her about each part of her body. How her legs carry her and her smile lights up the night sky.
Tell her about her bright future and how capable she is of grabbing hold of her desires.
Tell her about a specific moment that fills your with pride and joy.
Tell her why she's your greatest love and how she has changed your life.
Tell her how you understand her fear and her pain and how you can help each other through anything.
Tell her that you are sorry for doubting her and how you vow to always have her back.
The most important relationship we have is the one we have with ourself. We don't get to walk away from our inner child. She stays with us always. Treat her with all the love you can muster. Proclaim your heart to yourself.

Happy Tuesday, Reading Nook readers!
Today, I'm reviewing The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy, Kate Hattemer's fabulous debut novel!
In The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy, debut author Kate Hattemer writes with a confidence that's part Sorkin, part Whedon, but with a flair and a joy that's all her own.
Readers will undoubtedly fall in love with Ethan, Baconniase and the gang, and their exploits as they try to save the integrity of their school against the nefarious reality show that has taken over their school.
Witty, sarcastic Ethan and his three friends decide to take down the reality TV show, For Art's Sake, that is being filmed at their high school, the esteemed Selwyn Arts Academy, where each student is more talented than the next.
While studying Ezra Pound in English class, the friends are inspired to write a vigilante long poem and distribute it to the student body, detailing the evils of For Art's Sake. But then Luke—the creative force behind the poem and leader of the anti-show movement—becomes a contestant on the nefarious show. It's up to Ethan, his two remaining best friends, and a heroic gerbil named Baconnaise to save their school. Along the way, they'll discover a web of secrets and corruption involving the principal, vice principal, and even their favorite teacher.
I won't lie – I pretty much knew from the get-go, that I would like Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy. Just the title alone made me grin, and I couldn't wait to find out more about the efforts of a group of "vigilante poets" toward stopping a reality show from ruining the integrity of their school.
However, once I started reading, I straight up developed a book crush on Ethan and his friends, and fell completely in love with Hattemer's beautiful writing.
In Vigilante Poets, Hattemer introduces us to Ethan Andrezejczak – a smart, sarcastic kid who will absolutely admit that he's just not as talented as everyone else in his prestigious arts school. Still, his group of friends and his overall attitude toward life, has allowed him to live his life relatively normally (if not, averagely) – until the reality TV show For Art's Sake begins filming at his school.
Now, it's up to Ethan and his friends, and a wily, larger-than-life gerbil, to protest the absurdity of the show, save the day and make sure that everyone's art dreams come true.
First things first: it needs to be said that Hattermer has an absolute gift for writing, full stop. Even though Vigilante Poets is her debut novel, it definitely doesn't read like a debut story. Her world building is spot on, her characters are fully-formed, and her pacing is brilliant.
Hattemer is particularly adept at getting into the head of Ethan and his friends; she throws out the types of witticisms, self-deprecation and (hilariously) honest dialogue that I normally only find when I'm watching a show being written by Aaron Sorkin or Joss Whedon.
The story itself is a fun combination of a teenaged mystery + caper from beginning to end, but also has a definite profundity added by Hattermer's well-thought out incorporation of poetry and history. I actually found myself learning new things about literature – something definitely appreciated by this English major, as I read!
The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy was an enjoyable, delightful read, and one of my all-time favorite reads for 2014 so far.
Kate Hattemer shows that she not only has the ability to get inside the heads of Ethan and his friends, but also does so in a way that's entertaining, funny and completely true to the teenage experience.
Ethan and his friends not only have a compelling story to tell, but they will also likely remind readers of the energy and enthusiasm they had for intelligently and hilariously fixing life's problems when they were the same age as Ethan and company.
Reading Vigilante Poets made me feel nostalgic not only for my teenaged days, but also slightly jealous of all the people who are about to read this book for the very first time – this is a book that will stay with you for a very long time.
Highly recommend for: all fans of YA contemporary fiction/contemporary fiction, fans of good '80 movies, and fans of shows like Glee, and Buffy.
Disclaimer: I received an E-ARC of The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy from Random House via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
KATE HATTEMER taught high school Latin for three years and now works at an independent bookstore in Cincinnati. She delivered an epic poem at her university graduation ceremony. The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy is her first book.
This sounds super fun!! :D Can't wait to read it!!!!!!

Suppose we are driving a car and our rear-view mirror gives us a distorted picture, making a proximate car appear distant. If we turn around and see the car almost touching our rear bumper, we will understand that our rearview mirror is misleading us.
Our mind is like a mirror that makes us misperceive. It may make us misunderstand others – when they circumstantially do something that hurts us, the mind makes us believe that they are intentionally hurting us. It may make us misunderstand ourselves – if we fail to give up a bad habit, it makes us believe that we are hopelessly addicted. And most damagingly, it may make us misunderstand God – if our prayers are not answered as per our expectations, it makes us believe that God is uncaring or even non-existent. Such mind-induced misperceptions prevent us from seeking or implementing constructive solutions.
To see things properly, we need to see not through our mind, but through our intelligence. Indeed, a key function of intelligence is to understand how our mind makes us misunderstand – and to thereafter rectify that misunderstanding and eventually rectify the misunderstanding-inducing mind. The Bhagavad-gita depicts how Arjuna's mind distorted his perception, making him feel that everything was going wrong (01.30) and that he should abandon his life's biggest battle (01.46). But hearing the Gita's message equipped his intelligence to see how the battle was essential for promoting social and spiritual welfare, thereby restoring his determination to do Krishna's will (18.73).
Just as the Bhagavad-gita equipped Arjuna's intelligence, it can similarly equip us. Then, we can vigilantly detect and correct the mind's misunderstandings and stay firmly connected with the source of all understanding: Krishna.
Being intellectually equipped with Gita wisdom, we can navigate purposefully and successfully throughout our life-journey towards eternal ecstatic absorption in Krishna.
How does the mind make us misunderstand others?
How does the mind make us misunderstand ourselves?
How does the mind make us misunderstand God?

Earth Day 2015 is a good time to re-emphasize our corporate-wide commitment to the reduction of electronic waste (eWaste) and refresh our national campaign to increase awareness of eWaste recycling among Postal Service™ employees and federal agencies. In this issue of the Postal Bulletin, we feature a wide range of articles and tips on recycling eWaste in the office as well as employee recycling solutions for personal electronic devices through the USPS BlueEarth® Federal Recycling Program. Many people may not realize that electronics is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world, and only a small fraction of this waste is recycled. Electronics contain some of the most hazardous wastes generated in the workplace and in our homes. Electronic equipment, such as cell phones, contain a range of toxic metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury, which can have significant adverse effects on groundwater quality when thrown away.
In 2012, the Postal Service joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Federal Green Challenge with the objective of recycling 50% of all our solid waste by the year 2015. Electronic waste represents 2% of the total waste stream in America and nearly that same percentage within the Postal Service. We are well into FY 2015, and if we recycle all of our electronic waste, we will meet our Federal Green Challenge goal and divert these wastes from landfills.
This issue of the Postal Bulletin provides instructions on taking advantage of the Topeka MDC electronic recycling program and promotes an innovative Postal Service program that allows you to safely and properly dispose of your personal electronic waste items such as cell phones and laptops through the USPS BlueEarth® Federal Recycling Program. The Federal Recycling Program generates revenue for both the Postal Service (at zero cost to Postal Service employees) and Federal customers, and we encourage you to share this information with your employees. Another recycling initiative that is being rolled out over the next few years is the National Recycling Operation, whereby our existing transportation network is used to backhaul mixed paper from postal facilities to plants and hubs where it is consolidated and sold to recyclers, adding to postal revenues and reducing landfill disposal costs.
We also urge you to become familiar with the wide range of sustainability initiatives available through our Lean Green Teams. Earth Day may happen once a year, but our sustainability practices should become part of the fabric of our working lives. Go green, and celebrate Earth Day 2015 by recycling your eWaste.

Have you ever been told you just need to "think positive" and your problems will go away? Or that to achieve what you want in your life, all you need to do is visualize it and it will end up appearing? It's an approach to life that's been popular for decades thanks to books like Think and Grow Rich and How to Win Friends and Influence People. But does it really help us to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives. Not exactly, according to this Brazilian shaman initiated in the traditions of the Amazon Rainforest.
Positive thinking is like the New Age version of believing in Santa Claus. All you have to do is make a list of what you want, imagine that it's on its way, and then sit and wait for the universe to deliver it to your doorstep. Positive thinking claims to give you the keys to manifest your desired future by imagining that it's already arrived. By doing that, you attract whatever you want from the universal matrix. Stay 100% positive for long enough, and your new reality will simply materialize from your thoughts.
There are just two problems here: 1) it's exhausting, and 2) it's ineffective.
What positive thinking actually does is teach you how to hypnotize yourself into ignoring your true feelings. It creates a kind of tunnel vision. You begin to lock your consciousness into a bubble in which you exist only as your "higher self," always smiling, full of love and happiness, magnetic and unstoppable. Living inside this bubble might feel good in the short-term, but in time the bubble will burst. That's because every time you force yourself to be positive, negativity grows within. You can deny or repress the negative thoughts and emotions, but they don't go away.
Life is full of challenges, and facing these challenges every day triggers all kinds of thoughts and emotions, including anger, sadness and fear. Trying to avoid what you consider negative and sticking only with the positive is a huge mistake. When you deny your true feelings, you're telling a part of yourself, "You're bad. You're shadow. You're not supposed to be here." You build a wall in the mind and your psyche becomes split. When you draw the line between what's acceptable within yourself and what's not, 50 percent of who you are is being rejected. You're constantly running away from your shadow. It's an exhausting journey that leads to sickness, depression and anxiety.
We try so hard to be happy, and the harder we try, more frustrated we become. Frustration plus exhaustion is a formula for depression. People become frustrated because they can't meet the archetype of success they've been sold by Hollywood. They're exhausted from fighting against their real selves, and they're depressed because they're not aligned with their true nature.
You can spend your life engaged in a civil war with yourself. The other approach is to recognize that you're a human being with every potential within, and learn to embrace the full spectrum of your humanity. Stop dividing your thoughts and emotions into "positive" and "negative." Who decides what's positive and negative, anyway? Where do you draw the line between good and bad within yourself? In our inner worlds, it's not always so clear. Even the most challenging emotions have an important function in life. Grief can bring compassion, anger can fuel you to overcome your limits, and insecurity can become a catalyst for growth, but only if you give them space inside of yourself. Instead of fighting against your own nature, you can use life's challenges for your progress.
People come to me full of fears that they're desperate to "heal" and "get rid of" in order to become more successful. They think of success as a kind of oasis where they can finally rest safe from the imaginary monster of failure that constantly chases after them. But that oasis turns out to be a mirage that disappears as soon as you get close to it.
My advice for these people is to do the opposite of positive thinking. I invite them to imagine the worst-case scenario, to really explore what would happen if their deepest fears came true. When they do this, the fear stops being a monster. They realize that even if they fail over and over, they'd be able to stand up and try again. They'd learn from their experiences. They'd become wiser and more capable of accomplishing their dreams the next time around. No longer driven by a sense of deficiency, they can enjoy life and allow their creativity to blossom. They realize that the power they were giving to their fears can be consciously used to build the reality they want.
I believe in the contrast in life. When you embrace the full spectrum of who you are — including the sadness, anger, insecurity and fear — all the energy you used to fight against yourself becomes available for living and creating. There's the same amount of energy in the "positive" as there is in what you call negative or shadow. Emotions are pure life force, and you can only access the full power of your consciousness when you allow the wholeness of your emotions to come through. Yes, there will be pain, sadness and anger, just as there will be love, joy and enthusiasm. These emotions will find their natural balance, and this balance is much healthier than dividing into good and bad.
We humans are dream beings. We can accomplish many of our dreams in a lifetime, but we won't be able to achieve them all. More important than the life goals we accomplish before we reach the grave is how we're living right now. With some consciousness and a sense of humor, we can embrace the wholeness of our being and live a life with soul. Beyond our concepts of "positive" and "negative," there is the beauty, the mystery and the magic of our true being, deserving to be honored and celebrated. It's available for each of us in this very moment.

Людмила Грудева Андонова, известна и с моминското си фамилно име Жечева, е българска лекоатлетка, която се състезава в дисциплината висок скок.

Родена е на 6 май 1960 г. в Новочеркаск, днешна Русия. Баща ѝ Груди е инженер, който е командирован за няколко години в Ростовска област и живее там със семейството си. След завръщането на нейната фамилия в България, малката Людмила първоначално тренира спортна гимнастика в Стара Загора при Димитър и Анна Димитрови, но заради високия ѝ ръст скоро е принудена да прекрати занимаванията си. След като тя става толкова висока, че вече не може да играе на успоредката, треньорите ѝ я насочват към високия скок.

С леката атлетика тя започва в средата на 70-те години. Постепенно напредва и през 1981 г. печели първото си злато от международно състезание – Балканските игри в Сараево. По това време Жечева тренира под ръководството на треньора Христо Цонов. През 1981 г. тя сключва граждански брак с българския десетобоец Атанас Андонов и приема фамилията на съпруга си.

След първото си майчинство Андонова достига върхова спортна форма през лятото на 1984 г. и е фаворит за спечелване на титлата на олимпиадата в Лос Анджелис през 1984 г., но не участва поради бойкота на игрите от страна на източния блок. Въпреки това става шампионка на алтернативните игри "Дружба-1984" на 18 август 1984 г. в Москва с резултат 1,96 м.

Най-големият успех на Людмила Андонова е на 20 юли 1984 г., когато на стадион "Фридрих Лудвиг Ян" в Източен Берлин поставя световен рекорд 2,07 м на висок скок, който я нарежда на четвърто място във вечната ранглиста на тази дисциплина. Това заедно със златния медал от алтернативната олимпиада преди 1 месец ѝ донася през 1984 година заслужения приз Спортист на годината на България и Спортист на Балканите.

През 1985 година е уличена в използване на допинг – амфетамин и е наказана.

На олимпийските игри в Сеул през 1988 се класира на пето място с резултат 1,93 м, което се оказва последното върхово постижение на лекоатлетката. На олимпийските игри в Барселона през 1992 тя не успява да премина квалификацията като записва резултат от 1,88 м.

Людмила и Атанас Андонови имат две деца и от края на 90-те години до сега семейството живее в САЩ.
