In the photography world, it is important to take good photos that successfully showcase your subject matter. In order to do this, you must always be on the lookout for creative insight. Follow them, and your reputation as a photography wiz will grow as your pictures get better and better. Utilize this knowledge to create photos that are top notch.
Try out different adjustments in the white balance feature. When you are taking shots inside, you can get a yellow tint due to light bulbs. By changing the white balance feature on your camera this will be reduced and you will notice a whole different quality to your photographs. You will see your photos come out much more professionally.
Here is a good photo tip! You should take the time to educate yourself on shutter speed. The shutter speed settings you will find on your camera are: P,M,A & S. There is a "P" that refers to program mode. This setting is automatic, which means you don't have to worry about setting the shutter or aperture speed yourself. If you are unsure of what you'll be taking a picture of, use P.
Don't pack your equipment carelessly when traveling. Take as many lenses as you think you will need, and do not forget to take extra batteries and cleaning accessories. Try and think what is most important on your trip and how convenient it is carry to carry around.
One of the key ways to take great photographs is to take lots and lots of them, so buy a large memory card that can hold them all. A big memory card will allow you to hold a lot more pictures. Owning a larger memory card also means you can take shots in RAW format, increasing your options during the editing process.
Try to make your model feel comfortable, particularly if you just met them. Many people view having their pictures taken as something that could be threatening. Make sure to be congenial, talk to them and ask if it is okay to take the pictures. Make sure that they see that you're practicing art, not invading their privacy.
Visit a thrift store to buy a film camera if you would like to test out the older film-based photography. You can use ISO 200 black-and-white film to get a great balance between versatility and dramatic results. When you have the film developed, have it printed on some different kinds of papers.
As this article has demonstrated, photography is an excellent method of capturing an incredible moment. With research, practice, and mindful experimentation, you can become an even better photographer.

Q: Initial Data Django Fixtures Issue: Installed 0 object(s) from 0 fixture(s) I am having a little trouble with importing initial data through xml files.  For example I name this file in myapp/fixtures/initial_data.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rows>
  <row>
    <model>myapp.nutrition</model>
    <name>Asiago Cheese Bagel</name>
    <calories>370</calories>
    <protein >17</protein >
    <carbs>56</carbs>
    <fats>8</fats>
    <restaurant >Au Bon Pain</restaurant >
    <price>1.29</price>
  </row>
</rows>

And this is what my model file looks like:
from django.db import models
class Nutrition(models.Model):
     name= models.CharField(max_length=100)
     calories= models.IntegerField()
     protein= models.IntegerField()
     carbs= models.IntegerField()
     fats= models.IntegerField()
     restaurant= models.CharField(max_length=100)
     price= models.DecimalField(decimal_places=2, max_digits=10)

When I run manage.py loaddata myapp/fixtures/initial_data.xml, I get:  Installed 0 object(s) from 0 fixture(s).  I have also tried JSON and got the same result.  Any ideas?

A: You should format the XML as Django expects it.  One way to go is to manually add and object using Django's admin and then dump the data using
manage.py dumpdata --format=xml --indent=4

For your case, this gives something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<django-objects version="1.0">
    <object pk="1" model="myapp.nutrition">
        <field type="CharField" name="name">Asiago Cheese Bagel</field>
        <field type="IntegerField" name="Calories">370</field>
        ...
    </object>
</django-objects>

Should Donors Get Paid For Bone Marrow?
A group of parents and advocates are suing to change a 1984 law that prohibits compensating donors for bone marrow. Would the ability to pay for marrow be a boon for sick people, a step down a slippery ethical slope — or both?
According to the AP, the group MoreMarrowDonors.org, along with leukemia patients and parents of sick (or deceased) children, is suing the US government to strike down the law — their appeal reached California's Ninth Circuit this week. They say 1984's National Organ Transplant Act, which outlaws payment for organ donations, shouldn't apply to bone marrow. Their argument: organs like kidney's are non-renewable, but bone marrow naturally replenishes itself, like blood or sperm. And since paying for blood or sperm is legal, barring payment for bone marrow violates the Constitution's equal protection clause.
Parents of children who needed transplants are making an impassioned case for changing the law. Says Kumud Majumder, whose son died of leukemia, "From American dream, I am in a living nightmare. If we had a perfect match, maybe I'd still have my son living and standing next to me." Government attorney Helen Gilbert, however, says that the ban is necessary, and prevents people from "extorting" money from sick people by selling their marrow to the highest bidder. And while MoreMarrowDonors and its co-plaintiffs are specifically hoping to avoid comparisons with organ donation, the debate really is a wider one — how can we best help sick people without creating a scary Never Let Me Go scenario?
A few years ago, William Saletan said the answer was "flooding the market with free organs." He added, "If you haven't filled out a donor card, do it now. Because if the dying can't get organs from the dead, they'll buy them from the living." He's right — consider registering as an organ donor. Or join the national bone marrow registry — MoreMarrowDonors is correct that bone marrow isn't an organ and grows back. It can also often be donated non-surgically. But so far, efforts to get more people to donate haven't come close to filling the need — especially for African-American patients.
In a Times op-ed last year, the lawyers for MoreMarrowDonors wrote, "Marrow donation would, and should, remain anonymous — and there should be no negotiation with donors. There would be no buyers or sellers, no possibility of market-like transactions." If that's true, there seems no reason not to treat marrow the way we treat blood and sperm. It's hard to see organs ever being handled in this way — hard to imagine a scenario where payment for, say, kidneys didn't prey upon those desperate for cash. And yet organ donations to strangers have happened — perhaps they would happen more if some compensation were involved. As far as how to engineer this compensation so it doesn't turn into exploitation — maybe it's impossible, but maybe a regulated, fair system for compensating bone marrow donors could show us the way.

The Real Janelle
I'd be okay with some sort of compensation regarding, I don't know, help with taking time off work to donate and recover. Maybe follow-up doctor appointments to see that everything's alright.
I think, however, that actual money would be unethical. I've donated blood just once and it made me feel really good that I could help someone somewhere, and I would not take money for it, and I think it would offend me if some people donated theirs just so that they are paid. I don't know, donating is good for the soul, I think.
I'd really like to be in a bone marrow registry. I'm in Chile and I haven't found anything of the sort.

Romantic story of shipwrecked Confederate spy is true, mostly
Ben Steelman StarNews Staff
It's one of the more glamorous stories of the Cape Fear coast: The glamorous Confederate spy is riding a blockade runner back into Wilmington. Her ship runs aground and she drowns in the Atlantic -- weighed down by treasure sewn in the linings of her gown.
That legend is almost true -- sort of, according to a historian at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
"I kind of hate to bust people's bubbles," said Chris Fonvielle, a UNCW associate professor.
The spy was Rose O'Neale Greenhow, widow of a minor Washington bureaucrat and a sometime diplomat.
An ardent Southern sympathizer -- she had tended S.C. Sen. John C. Calhoun at his deathbed -- Greenhow remained in the Union capital after the Civil War broke out, using her social connections to strike up conversations with lonely officers. She then smuggled secrets to Richmond. President Jefferson Davis later credited her intelligence with the Confederate victory in the first battle of Bull Run (Manassas).
Eventually caught, Greenhow was imprisoned for a time in Washington's Old Capitol Prison, then banished to the Confederacy. In August 1863, she slipped out of Wilmington on the blockade runner Phantom and made her way to Europe, where she engaged in a diplomatic mission and promoted support for the Confederate cause. Received by Queen Victoria and by Napoleon III of France, she even became engaged to a British earl.
In September 1864, Greenhow set out to return to the Confederacy aboard the Condor, a British blockade runner on its maiden voyage. Arriving near New Inlet and Fort Fisher before sunrise on Oct. 1, the Condor was pursued and fired upon by the Union steamer USS Niphon. Soon, the Condor ran aground a few hundred yards off Fort Fisher while Captain William N.H. Hewlett tried to dodge the wreck of another blockade runner.
Hewlett thought he could float the Condor on the next high tide, but Greenhow, fearing capture, begged to be rowed ashore. Eventually, Hewlett lowered a lifeboat, but it was capsized in rough waters. The crew and the rest of the passengers clung to the sides of the dinghy and made it ashore, but Greenhow was missing. Searchers from Fort Fisher found her corpse in the surf later that day.
Now, about all that gold sewn in her skirts: In an 1885 article for a Norfolk, Va., newspaper, Col. William Lamb, the former commander of Fort Fisher, wrote that a "satchel" containing 100 British gold sovereigns had been found "which had been suspended around the ill-fated lady's neck." In total, those 100 coins would have weighed less than 2 pounds, Fonvielle said -- not enough to drag someone to the bottom. (Philip Gerard, who wrote about Greenhow for Our State magazine, calculated the gold weighed about 6-and-a-half pounds.)
What did Greenhow in, Fonvielle argues, was the weight of what she was wearing: The hoop skirt, petticoats, corset, gown and boots expected of a Victorian lady in the 1860s.
By many accounts, the gold was recovered by a Confederate private from Columbus County named J.J. Prosper For Me D. Doctor DeVowell Connor. Only about four feet tall -- "the shortest soldier with the longest name in the Confederate army," Fonvielle said -- Connor thought about keeping the money, but his conscience got the better of him and he turned it in. Thereafter, according to a family tradition, Col. Lamb sent him a $20 gold piece each year as a reward for his honesty.
Greenhow, meanwhile, was borne to Col. Lamb's cottage north of the fort, where his wife, Daisy, tended the body. From there, it was taken to Wilmington aboard the steamer Cape Fear. Ladies of the Soldiers' Aid Society carried the body to the DeRosset House, where it was prepared for burial. ("She was an elegant woman, not at all changed by death," wrote Eliza Jane DeRosset.)
After lying in state at General Hospital No. 4, site of the present-day Reel Cafe, the body was taken to St. Thomas the Apostle Roman Catholic Church for a funeral Mass. Then "an immense funeral cortege" followed the flag-draped coffin to Oakdale Cemetery, where it was buried near the DeRosset family plot. Witnesses remembered a heavy rain at the funeral, but when pallbearers lowered the coffin into the grave, the sun reportedly broke out and a rainbow appeared.

Tim Howard's yearbook quote is more appropriate than you can imagine
The USA's newest sports hero made a heck of a prediction in high school.

Share All sharing options for: Tim Howard's yearbook quote is more appropriate than you can imagine
Photo via Reddit
Yearbook quotes are funny things. You're asked to make a life-defining statement before you really understand what life is. Sometimes these come off as pointless and vapid, but if you're Tim Howard your yearbook quote is utterly perfect.
Okay so maybe (probably) Howard was making an allusion to Public Enemy, but that doesn't really matter. This still fits. There are almost 12 million Belgians, the country produces amazing soccer players, and for 120 minutes he stopped almost everything without enough help. Howard truly stopped a nation of millions.
Today you are a golden god.


I love taking the small tube beads or what I call the olive shape beads and string them into wire and twist them into a torsade or as a choker. We did not put any beads with it, the only accent for this piece is the golden bead caps and the matching chain.
The added twist to the beads makes it outstanding!

What is the fate of an Apprentice?
November 12, 2020 January 30, 2021 tabithabouldinauthor
Apprentice by Kristen Young: Book Review
Book: Apprentice
Author: Kristen Young
The Love Collective is everywhere.
It sees everything.
Apprentice Flick remembers everything, except the first five years of her life. And for as long as she can remember, Flick has wanted to enter the Elite Academy—home to the best, brightest, and most loyal members of the Love Collective government.
Flick's uncanny memory might get her there, too … even if it is the very thing that marks her as a freak. But frightening hallucinations start intruding into her days and threaten to bring down all she has worked so hard to accomplish. Why is she being hijacked by a stranger's nightmare over and over again?
Moving to the Elite Academy could give Flick the future she's always wanted. But her search for truth may lead to a danger she cannot escape.
An intriguing beginning to what will undoubtedly be a wonderful series.
I greatly enjoyed this journey into a futuristic setting and the wild experiences that come with Kerr Flick's incredible memory. Her drive and motivation to be the best of the best, and to prove herself to those who said she'd never make it, pushed the story and kept me turning pages just to see if she would succeed.
The tension in the story, the way the author feeds you bits of foreshadowing were spot on, but then seeing it all come together at the end made me sad that the book had ended.
There's a lot of lead up and reinforcement of Kerr's eidetic memory, and I hope that continues to play a big part in her character journey.
For fans of Divergent, Apprentice will have you roaring your approval.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Celebrate Lit. I was not required to leave a positive review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

An interview with Kristen Young
Q: How long have you been writing?
I was the kid who used to create little booklets and puzzle magazines for the family. So writing is something that I've been doing for a long time. It wasn't quite publication-worthy back then, but it was fun. I had to practice a little more before people outside my family wanted to see it.
Q: Where do you write?
Anywhere I have access to a laptop or a pen. I have a desk at home where most of the writing happens, but I usually carry a notebook in my bag in case inspiration hits when I'm out. People think I'm a little eccentric when I'm madly scribbling in the middle of the supermarket. But I have to get that scene idea down before I forget!
Q: What is your writing Kryptonite?
Distractions. For me, writing preparation is a little like building a house of cards — that process of getting my thoughts in order and working out the story direction. Distractions are like the gust of wind that knocks the whole construction over. I usually wear noise-cancelling headphones to try and keep me focused on the process.
Q: Where's your favourite story setting?
I'm still looking for that wardrobe with a door to Narnia.
Q: What's the first book that made you cry?
I'm not sure if I can share that without giving spoilers! But I'd have to say Charlotte's Web. When I read that as a child, it had me wrecked for ages.
Q: Have you read anything that totally changed your idea of the way fiction could be written?
There are a couple of books that totally changed my view of fiction. The first was Margaret Atwood's novel The Blind Assassin. I was totally captivated by the way she mixed newspaper articles and other media with the narrative sections. It was mind-blowing at the time.
Jasper Fforde's series that started with The Eyre Affair was also pretty amazing. It took a whole pile of literary references and completely messed with them. It was enormous fun.
Q: So why set something in a world called the "Love Collective"?
I like words, and I'm fascinated by the way people often play with them, or even weaponise them. I kind of wanted to explore this word 'love' and what it means. In English, we have this one word to refer to so many different kinds of concepts. I wanted to write an exciting story, so it seemed right to have this concept as a backdrop behind the action, where you're asking, "What does this mean?"
Q: Your main character never forgets anything. Is she like you?
No way. I think Flick's memory is a bit of wish fulfilment from me. It was so hard writing her, because I forget so many details! In some ways forgetting is protective. But in other ways I'd love to have her memory.
Q: What can we expect in the rest of the Collective Underground Trilogy?
I can't tell you the whole story, that would ruin the fun. But in the first book, Flick's world has started really small, and she's going to broaden her horizons. She'll get to explore more of this Love Collective. There also might be some more danger, too. Or more love. We'll see…

This sounds interesting, and like one that will make you think about what the future might hold.
I appreciate getting to hear about your book. Thank you for sharing your great book!
Looks fun!


Starting a new business can be scary. There's so much you don't know a single thing about. But the good news is that behind every successful business is an entrepreneur who was once right where you are now. These are the people who know exactly what you are going through. They've been there. They have been uncertain about where to turn and who to ask for help. It's very likely that they hesitated before taking the next step. Theirs is the advice you should be looking out for.
Take advice from the pros. Apple boss Steve Jobs used to say that it's important to be selective about the challenges you choose to tackle as an entrepreneur.
His Virgin counterpart, Richard Branson, said business owners should focus their companies on the thing they need and the changes they'd like to see.
"Think about changes you'd like to see as a customer – even if you've just noticed little details that need tweaking. Those little changes may add up to a big idea that leads to a new and truly disruptive product or service. This is essentially how we, at Virgin, launched our first successful businesses.
Planning your next move. When you're just getting started, it's important that you know what your next move is and where you plan to be in the next five to 20 years. Only then can you really begin to plan your next move and way forward. You'll need to draw up a business plan to guide you onward. It's essential that you're constantly measuring your success, taking note of the factors which help you and which hinder you along the way.
There are many factors which could potentially impact you, as a small business owner. In South Africa especially we have to protect ourselves from the twin issues of crimes and cost increases. Making sure you have the necessary security in place and planning your finances carefully should assist in putting your mind at ease.
Next up, you'll need to start thinking about making your startup a success. It's likely you've read thousands of articles, listened to many podcasts, spoken to friends who've done the same thing and scoured the stores for books on your subject.
And your startup is beginning to show the signs of your hard work. So, how do you take your business to the next level? If you're looking to grow, here are some tips for moving your business to the next level.
Think about your timing. Just like everything in life, you need to be at the right place, at the right time. You need to be able to spot a gap in the market and get in there quickly. You need to realise what consumers want or need, before they even do. In order to do this, you need to always have your finger on the pulse of what's happening, what they want and where there's a need. You'll need to always keep updated about everything that's happening in your particular industry.
When all of these factors begin to come together, consumers will choose your brand over others. That's when you'll know you've made it.
Pivot your brand. This is when you move away from what's not working and find a solution that does work for your small business. You definitely don't want to do this too soon. But eventually, you'll want to diversify and become known for something else. When the time is right, you'll need to apply for the asset finance solutions to help you grow your business. Be sure to stick to related products or services as you grow because otherwise you'll begin to feel disjointed. This could be confusing for your customers and push them to your competitors.
Your brand needs to be online. Seriously, get online now. What are you waiting for? The world is becoming increasingly digital and every company needs to be online. Make sure your website can be found easily by using use of some simple SEO strategies. You should also be using social media in the correct ways and to your advantage.
Take your time to grow slowly. But don't wait for too long because someone else will have the same idea as you. They'll move faster and you'll never get anywhere.
Being a business owner is tough. That's especially true when you're starting out. But if you believe in your project and know the risks, you should go for it. That's when you'll not only survive, but thrive.
When budgets are tight, marketing might be the first expense you look to cut. While traditional advertising methods are costly and hard to measure, small businesses have never had greater access to cost-effective, trackable marketing tools. Well, email and social media marketing are just the start. Here are six marketing strategies that can help you market your small business on a shoestring budget.
You should be marketing all the time – wherever you are. Therefore, you need a compelling elevator pitch. Research shows the average attention span of an adult is about six to eight seconds. That's all the time you have to grab someone's attention. If you successfully engage them, then you only have a little over a minute to really sell them on your product or service. You can learn more about this by doing a short sales and marketing course. Invest the time to craft a killer elevator pitch. The return on your investment will pay huge dividends in terms of creating business opportunities.
You don't have to think big when it comes to your marketing efforts. Think locally. What's going on in your community? Print bookmarks and leave them at the local library. Get to know your ideal customer and think about how and where they spend their time. Then search for opportunities to get in front of your customer with your marketing message.
There's no better way to build a business than to get out there, shake some hands, and get to know people. Networking requires a time commitment and it doesn't provide instant gratification, but a strong network is one of the greatest assets any business person can have.
A lot of people hate public speaking. However, there are many organisations looking for qualified, subject-matter experts who can present to their groups. Take a deep breath and volunteer. You don't have to be a pro as long as the information you share is helpful to the audience. And the upside: the more you do it the easier it gets. Plus, it positions you as a credible authority in your field.
It's a lot less expensive to keep a customer than it is to get a new one. That's why establishing strong relationships with your customer base is crucial. One of the ways you can do that is by keeping in touch with people through email marketing. Ask customers for their email addresses when they visit your store or website. Then, make your communications informative, helpful and professional – something your customers will look forward to receiving.
If someone has the opportunity to experience your product or service, chances are they'll want to purchase more. Don't be afraid to give someone a free trial or a sample. In today's economy, people are more comfortable purchasing something they've been able to experience first.
These inexpensive marketing strategies will help you engage customers, build relationships, and ultimately keep your brand top-of-mind. It's not always about the money you have to spend on marketing, it's about the time and effort you put into it and above all, the relevance it has for your customers.

Growers primed for negotiating success
An unanimous seal of approval has been given to the first NFU Grower Representative Summit, as growers looked to improve their negotiation skills and contractual terms with their customers in the horticulture and potatoes sector.
The event, the first of its kind in the sector, saw over 50 growers and their representatives take part in a two-hour workshop on successful contract negotiation; sharing best practice across other sectors of agriculture and understanding the support, knowledge and guidance available to bolster their position.
NFU horticulture and potatoes adviser Lee Abbey said: "The event was borne out of the NFU's desire to forge better relations in the supply chain – under the banner of its Catalyst for Change report – as part of which we felt it important to dedicate time to the people at the coalface of managing contract negotiations and customer relationships and play our part in supporting representatives in the vitally important work that they do.
"Our report highlighted that growers can sometimes feel dictated to by buyers on pricing decisions, often receive contracts very late in the season and would like more guidance on developing clear and transparent pricing formulas. The summit explored all aspects of contractual relationships and, without exception, growers told us that they gained something valuable from it. With representatives clearly so eager to develop their skills we hope this is just the first event of its kind."
Advice from the day's speakers on methods for succeeding in negotiations varied from understanding the market to identifying the roles of the negotiation team, but most agreed that preparation was key.
NFU Sugar chairman William Martin said: "I've never been in a meeting and thought 'I was far too prepared for that'. You need to know the answers to all the questions before going in and, once you do, it is tremendously empowering."
Simon Baxter, Norton Cider Growers Association chairman, said the event had been a great help because of the importance in understanding the full spectrum of terms being negotiated.
"While price is very important it is not everything. It is profitability which leads to the sustainability of our business," he added.
Concluding the event, NFU chief legal adviser Nina Winter announced the launch of a new NFU business guide on understanding contracts and the terms and conditions to be aware of. The guide is free to members and available on the NFU website.

The profitability and competitive edge of a plant is inextricably linked to the operation and maintenance optimization of the production machine assets.
Is this a challenge in your company?
In the past, machines and machine components were over-designed and operated at constant loads. Life cycle times were easily predictable and a time based maintenance strategy was sufficient to remedy most faults. Additionally, a team of well-qualified operators and maintenance crew were always at hand. Consequently, the need for machine condition monitoring was minimal!
Today's situation is a far contrast to that of the past. Lean computer designed machines are operating ever closer to their limits, and the need for production flexibility leads to widely variable operating conditions and machine loads. The result is an increase in the number of potential failure modes and a very broad mean time to failure of the machine components.
Furthermore, the ever increasing cost of feedstock and fuel for the machines demand optimal operational efficiency. And where are the qualified maintenance crew? There has been a significant reduction in the knowledge base and expertise within companies as a result of downsizing, and remote operations. These elements combine to make a condition and performance monitoring strategy not only viable, but indispensable.
There are two decisive results expected from an effective machine condition monitoring strategy: Uptime and reliability. This is the strategic focus of the NSP Co.'s service team. Defective monitoring system installations and incorrect fault diagnoses due to insufficient monitoring know-how often result in unplanned machine downtime. For this reason we developed an efficient customer service management system together with a wide range of service offerings to help avoid this problem. This support model was developed in close cooperation with our customers and renowned industry experts, in order to give customers access to our global network of highly qualified technicians, sales engineers and consultants. This provides you with fast, efficient and reliable service – on-site as well as from remote access.
You can choose from a range of service solutions that can be tailored to your monitoring application needs.

As the numbers of unaccompanied minors and mothers with children crossing our southern border grows, the U.S. government faces a critical test of its historic commitment to protect those fleeing violence and persecution. How the U.S. responds will signal to the world whether the U.S. commitment to due process and the protection of refugees is real or illusory, and it could have a profound effect on how other countries around the world respond to a call to deal fairly and humanely to refugee crises throughout the world.
Unfortunately, the initial response by the Obama Administration has been more focused on appeasing its critics with get-tough political messages that prioritize streamlined enforcement over due process and humane treatment. Most recently, the White House has sent a request to Congress asking, among other things, for the authority to process minor children from Central America more expeditiously, and media reports have indicated that their goal is to deport mothers with children as quickly as possible (some reports indicate a goal of 15 days) in order to send a message to the sending countries.
The emphasis on speedy removals, rather than on determining whether these children and families have a legitimate fear of persecution, and whether or where they may be safely returned to avoid further abuse or exploitation is an abandonment of fundamental principles of due process and fairness - principles that define our judicial system - and undermines the moral authority of the U.S.' voice in the international community.
America's response must be built on the recognition that many of these children and families can and should be safely returned, but many deserve and have the right to the protections that our laws afford to those who are fleeing violence and persecution. The answer must be to focus government resources on determining what the facts behind these cases are, and to create environments and processes where children are safe from harm and are treated humanely while their cases are reviewed.
The deterrent effect, if any, will be no less if the U.S. invests in creating a process that takes months instead of days, but the quality of the decisions will be dramatically different. If the process has real integrity and involves a real examination of the safety and well-being of the children then the U.S. can all stand behind any decision that is made, whether it is to return the child or allow them to stay.
There is universal agreement that the immigration court system - which has long been starved of funding by Congress - can and should function more efficiently. That system must be given the resources it needs to respond, not replaced by a streamlined process that prioritizes speed over accuracy. A "rush to deport" these children would be unprecedented and would demote the U.S. and its reputation around the world as a leader in protecting refugees.

Cyprus - Foreign investment
Because Turkish Cyprus is recognized as a sovereign nation by no other nation besides Turkey, it has attracted little foreign investment. The majority of factories are owned by domestic companies but, in most of the major industrial concerns, there has been considerable British and Greek capital. The central government encourages foreign investment that results in the import of new technology or new production methods and improves the quality of the goods produced, especially for export. Any purchase of shares in a domestic company by nonresidents requires approval by the Central Bank of Cyprus.
As part of its accession to the EU, expected in 2004 barring untoward events, Cyprus has endeavored to transform itself from an off-shore tax haven, featuring a 4.25% corporate tax rate for ring-fence businesses (that is, those having no trade inside Cyprus) to a what it calls a tax incentive country, free from the suspicion usually associated with tax havens. Under the new tax code effective as of effect 1 January 2003, foreign companies already enjoying the tax haven 4.25% (in 1996, for instance, there were some 1,168 offshore companies operating out of Cyprus) can continue to do so until the end of 2005, provided they have not trade inside Cyprus.
Other companies will receive for the most part national treatment, which features a competitive corporate tax rate, (of 19.45% instead of the highest income rate of 25% through the way the income and withholding taxes are combined) but not an offshore rate. In the accession process (or acquis ), Cyprus has been under intense scrutiny for money laundering. Its anti-money laundering law of 1996 was amended in 1999 to satisfy enforcement concerns. As of 2002, both the IMF and the OECD's Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (the TATF) have certified Cyprus as satisfactory on this count.
Cyprus has not been removed, however, from the Flags of Convenience (FOC) black list of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control, known as the Paris MOU, which is an agreement among 19 countries aimed at eliminating substandard shipping. Historically, Cyprus has operated the fourth- or fifth-largest maritime fleet through offering lax safety and inspection regimes on ships registered under its flag. From 1999 to 2001, there were signs of improvement, according to EU reports. The percent of Cyprus-flagged vessels detained by Port State control dropped from 9.97% in 1999 to 8.85% in 2001, compared to an EU average of 3.14% in 2001. In all, 397 of 4,100 Cypriot ships were detained. To move up to the Paris MOU's "grey list," no more than 319 or 7.7% of Cypriot vessels should have been detained. In June 2002, Georgia instituted a new ship safety and inspection law to help improve its record. Also as part of the accession process, Cyprus has instituted more a liberalized investment regime, removing interest rate ceilings and capital controls.
The government first made changes in the investment code to encourage foreign investment in 1986, but many restrictions remained. In 1996, the investment code was liberalized to allow foreign participation of up to 49% in Cypriot companies. Certain services were allowed 100% foreign participation. Sector specific restrictions remain, however, in several important areas including electricity, tourism, and air transport and travel offices. The telecommunications sector, also, has not been privatized. To date the inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) has remained small, averaging 1.3% of GDP 1997 to 2001. The trend, however, is toward an increase. FDI as a percent of GDP doubled during this period, fro9% of GDP in 1997 to 1.8% of GDP in 2001.

Mumbai, formerly Bombay, is a city in western India and is in the wealthiest state in India. Named a global city in 2009, Mumbai is a good jumping-off point for travels to either northern or southern India. North India's dominant geographic features are the Himalayas and their foothills, and the tours explore some of India's most famous monuments, including the Taj Mahal in Agra and temples dating back to ancient India.
Indian Holiday, an agency in India, offers a selection of tour packages. This 12-day tour starts with sightseeing in Mumbai including a visit to Elephanta Caves, a complex of ancient cave temples on Elephanta Island, an hour away from Mumbai by ferry. The next day, the group flies to Udaipur, known as "the city of lakes," for an overnight stay. A one-hour flight brings the group to Jaipur, the first planned city in India and once the capital of the royalty. The city is painted in pink, hence the moniker "Pink City." The drive to Delhi includes visiting the Taj Mahal in Agra. One of the eight wonders of the world, it was built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his wife; construction took 22 years and 20,000 men. Before reaching Delhi, guests visit Varanasi, located on the banks of the Ganges River and considered by some to be the oldest city in the world. Varanasi is a holy city and a pilgrimage site for Hindus. The tour ends in the Indian capital of Delhi at the official residence of the president of India, Rashtrapati Bhavan.
The travel agency Incredible Real India's Gujarat package takes guests from Mumbai to Gujarat, a state in northwestern India. The tour visits Lonavala, a city famous throughout India for the hard candy sweet known as chikki; 215 kilometers away is Nashik, the "Wine Capital of India." Arriving in Ahmedabad, the largest city in Gujarat, guests can visit the former home of Mahatma Gandhi and its adjoining museum. After a few days, the tour reaches Dwaraka, one of the seven oldest cities in India and believed to have been established by Lord Krishna. The last stop before the return to Mumbai is Bhavnagar, home to Victoria Park, a favorite of birdwatchers and nature lovers. In Bhavnagar, guests catch a flight back to Mumbai to spend some time enjoying Elephanta Island and the Prince of Wales Museum.
India Luxury Trains, a division of Exotique Expeditions Limited, offers travel packages from Mumbai to different cities in India aboard a luxury train. Its Maharaja-Deccan Odyssey package is an eight-day trip departing from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly Victoria Terminus Railway Station. The train travels from Mumbai to Ellora, home to monasteries and temples dating back to A.D. 600. The train continues to Udaipur, which is set on the shores of Lake Pichola. After overnight travel, the tour reaches Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan, location of Ranthambore National Park, a sanctuary for tigers as part of the country's conservation efforts. Arriving in Jaipur, the "Pink City," guests can enjoy its bazaars and monuments erected by the Mughal Empire. The train finally reaches Agra, home of the Taj Mahal. Delhi, the nation's capital, is the last stop. Delhi is a bustling metropolis that combines ancient and contemporary India.

About Terence Weldon:
I am openly gay, openly Catholic, originally from South Africa, partnered, a father of two daughters and have four grandchildren. I am actively involved in pastoral ministry and advocacy for gay and lesbian Catholics (and other Christians).
Me at our Pride stall after the London Gay Pride march, 2009
Twelve years ago I became a regular participant at what were then called the "Soho Masses" for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered Catholics, their friends and their families. Since then, I have become ever more deeply involved in gay Catholic activism and ministry, as a blogger, speaker, committee member for LGBT and other faith organizations, and as webmaster for a range of sites.
(I have aroused fierce opposition from some Catholics, because of what they see as my "dissent" from Catholic teaching. I see it differently. I disagree with some details of teaching, which are not in fact central to the Catholic faith, and do so in the knowledge that disagreement in conscience is fully in accordance with Catholic teaching. I have come to my disagreement on detail, by an intensely Catholic process of prayer, study and discernment of the whole body of teaching and scripture, rather than simple blind obedience to a handful of verses or catechism clauses, taken in isolation).
Major Activities:
When the archdiocese of Westminster approached the Soho Masses about a possible move to the Catholic parish in Warwick Street, I was one of the team that met with Bishop Longley to discuss the issue.
Soon after, I began writing on matters of LGBT faith at this site, and others.
After the "Soho Masses" moved to Warwick Street, I took on responsibility for organizing and training our team of readers and eucharistic ministers.
In 2011, I led a workshop at the LGCM thirty fifth anniversary conference on LGBT history in the Catholic Church.
In 2012, I was a keynote speaker on the same theme at the Quest annual conference, for the queen's diamond jubilee, looking back on 60 years of queer faith "Sixty Glorious Years".
Since the 2012 conference, I have served on the Quest national committee, for which I am now the webmaster and recently appointed editor of Quest Bulletin.
Also in 2012, as part of the World Pride celebrations, I participated in a London "Next Steps" workshop in LGBT ministry, led by Frank DeBenardo of New Ways Ministry.
In 2013 I adapted the basic framework of that workshop for British conditions, and led a highly successful workshop at the Jesuit spirituality centre at Mount Street, London.
In 2014, for LGBT History month, I delivered a presentation on "Queer Saints, Sinners and Martyrs in Church History", at the University of East Anglia.
For Quest Conference 2014, I led a highly successful workshop on the Gospel story of Emmaus, and its importance for LGBT Catholics. I have since written a detailed report on its findings, a copy of which has been given to Cardinal Vincent Nichols.
I have recently (2015) been appointed webmaster for the Global Network of Rainbow Catholics.
Other Activities:
For some years, I have been active in my local parish, as a reader, choir member and leader of small faith discussion groups. I am completely open about my sexuality, partner and gay activism – and have received from the parish not only acceptance, but active encouragement and support.
I have by now had discussions or correspondence with three different English bishops on LGBT inclusion in church, and hope to continue with many more.
My interests extend beyond the narrow field of lesbian and gay inclusion in the Catholic Church, and am a committee member and webmaster for the Centre for the Study of Christianity and Sexuality, and their associated "Theological Educators" project, which provided training in sexuality and gender for those involved in ministerial training or practice across a range of Christian denominations.
During the years leading up to the British gay marriage legislation, I was a regular participant as an openly gay Catholic advocate for gay marriage, in a range of radio and television discussion programmes.
I have recently been invited to join a queer theology study group, which will be meeting regularly in Brighton.
My Blogs and Websites:
Queering the Church (my personal blog)
The Queer Church Repository (this site, intended to develop into a comprehensive resource base for LGBT Catholics and other Christians)
Queer Church News and Opinion (headlines and links to notable news and analysis elsewhere)
Queer Saints, Sinners and Martyrs
A Queer Ear for the Rainbow Scriptures
Quest Gay Catholics (on behalf of Quest)
The Centre for the Study of Christianity and Sexuality (for CSCS)
The Global Network of Rainbow Catholics (for GNRC)
Planned Expansion:
Looking ahead, I hope to extend my present activities in LGBT ministry into more direct ministry, as a speaker and workshop facilitator, and by adding video blogging ("vlogging") to my present blogging.
Funding Campaign:
All the above work is entirely voluntary, and unpaid. Fortunately, I have a partner and do not have to worry about rent or mortgage expenses, but I do have to pay a share of grocery and household running costs. For income, I depend on three part – time jobs. Of these, the primary one is working evenings as a delivery driver. In practice, far from providing my with an income, my activities in ministry have up to now been subsidized by my work at near minimum wage rates, for example to pay for internet and computer costs, and because any time spent evenings, for meetings or conferences, involves a loss of income. Some of my travel expenses are recoverable from the organizations involved, some are not.
To expand my ministry as I would like to do, I simply need some direct funding. I have now launched a crowdfunding campaign at Go Fund Me. If you would like to support me in my work, please consider either donating directly yourself, or if you are unable to do so, to help by sharing the link with your like – minded friends.
Remember – it's not only the actual amount of money that's important. Just as important, is the emotional and spiritual boost it gives me, just to know that there are people out there who are offering support, in large donations, in small donations, or just by sharing.

Since both my Death Guard and my Thousand Sons armies are reaching completion, and since Forgeworld have released two beautiful sets (the Palatine Blades and the Kakaphoni) I knew that the next Chaos army I wanted to do was the emperors children. This one will build of the Horus Heresy models, with current Chaos parts mixed in, together with a lot of mutations, to give the look of a warband that has been active since the heresy. I will be using the two forgeworld sets as a basis for my first two squads of Noise Marines, adding parts from the Noise Marine upgrade kit as well as mutations from different plastic kits. After they are done I want to do some jetbikes. I really hate the idea of Space Marines riding bikes, but i have fond memories of the jet bikes from Rouge Trader so I will be building a squad of these to go together with my Chaos lord. This army will also use Daemons, at least a herald, some seekers and a unit of Daemonettes.
12 Daemonettes No idea of the point cost of these, but I am aiming for 1000pts to start with.


What do you love about LittleOak?
LittleOak.net has been in business since 2007 and owns their own data center in Torrance, CA. LittleOak offers Mac web hosting, RapidWeaver hosting, an affiliate sales program and domain names.
LittleOak handles sales calls by toll-free telephone number, email and live chat. I spoke at length with Michael J. by live chat, and was quickly impressed with LittleOak's knowledge of the hosting industry and offerings. There's virtually no wait with live chat or telephone, and expect a one hour response time on email pre-sales questions.
It takes approximately 20 minutes from the time payment is made before account details hit your email inbox. The welcome letter from LittleOak is instructional and thorough, and includes all the details needed to get your new website online. Perfect!
LittleOak accepts all major credit cards and PayPal. Billing issues are handled by telephone, live chat and email. I was not overcharged or mischarged during an 18 month stay with LittleOak, but I did contact billing once during my stay to ask about upgrading my account. The billing department responded to my query in less than anhour and helped me to upgrade my account at a reduced fee. Very professional!
LittleOak's smallest Mac hosting plan, Sapling Cloud, comes with 5 gigabytes of space and 50 gigabytes of bandwidth and runs $80 per year. This translates into about $6.67/month, which is a great price for these cloud hosting specs. Our only real complaint is that this plan, along with a few others, cannot be paid for on a month-to-month basis.
I had no hardware issues of any kind with LittleOak during an 18 month stay.
LittleOak takes technical support questions by telephone, live chat and email. I found the tech team to be courteous, helpful and very efficient in their answering of questions. I never had to ask the same question twice, and even answers by email were addressed in under an hour.
My uptime monitor indicated that LittleOak.net maintained a 100% uptime rating.
Easy to upgrade or downgrade plans.
No month-to-month payment plans available.

Q: Electrostatic precaution for sensitive chip I just figure out today that I always manipulate chips with the "Electrostatic sensitive devices" sign by hand. I never use a grounding bracelet or even a clamp. Even if I doesn't take such precaution, chips behave as expected. Is that normal?
What come in mind is that maybe a particular part of a chip can get damage instead of another. (particularly on µC) Is that true?
What can I do to reduce these effects? I have no grounding bracelet but I can use a clamp (a small one usually use for hairs).

A: Electrostatic discharge is a random kind of thing. Some devices are more sensitive than others and of course it also depends on what else you have been doing with your hands, what you are wearing, what the work surface is made of etc etc etc. Up till now you may just have been lucky. However there is no guarantee you have not significantly reduced the lifespan of the devices.
Best bet is to go buy a wrist strap and work mat.
Making sure you are grounded by touching something known to be grounded before opening the bag can also be helpful. But nothing is better than the appropriate equipment.

A:
Even if I doesn't take such precaution, chips behave as expected. Is
that normal?

Yes, ESD is an unpredictable event, and you can't see it (most of the time, sometimes you can see damage on IC's). Sometimes it only damages a trace partially and it could take months or years for a chip to fail, sometimes the effect is immediate and the circuit ceases to function. The only way to know exactly what damage occurred is to take the IC apart and etch the packaging away and look at the damage to the silicon with nice expensive microscope. This takes a lot of time and most engineers don't have access to etching tools and high resolution microscopes so we try to avoid ESD at all costs.

What come in mind is that maybe a particular part of a chip can get
damage instead of another. (particularly on µC) Is that true?

Yes, there are certain areas of an IC that are more prone to failure. Many modern IC's come with some kind of ESD protection on the inputs, like diodes. A failure is a failure and there is no way to tell exactly when where or how a device will fail after ESD damage.

What can I do to reduce these effects? I have no grounding bracelet
but I can use a clamp (a small one usually use for hairs).

If its an expensive device then I'd buy the protection equipment. If you already have multiple devices and they are low cost, its probably not the worst thing if it fails. The biggest problem with ESD is having intermittent problems where the device is not functioning in normal operation and time is wasted in figuring out why and replacing the part.
I would do your best to be ESD safe. As a hobbyist this can be difficult.
Here are some ESD tips:

*

*Surfaces should be conductive and connected to ground, if you have a
metal surface, this could stand in place for a mat but you couldn't
turn the device 'on' while it was resting on top of the conductive
surface.

*The pink bags are bad because the conductive coating wears off, the
mylar (aluminum coated bags) are good and conductive.

*Some materials like clothing, paper and plastics can develop charges
that generate fields in the thousands of volts range and blow out
transistors on sensitive devices so keep non-esd safe materials away
from sensitive electronics.

If you don't use a grounding wrist strap, then you run the risk of shocking the part when you use tweezers or an ESD gun to build or service it. Do your best to minimize charge building up on materials by equalizing potentials.
ESD prevention tries to equalize all potentials so charge cannot build up on a surface and create an electric field.
