Floating solar rig from Columbia University harvests hydrogen fuel from seawater
Engineers at Columbia University have created a "solar fuels rig," which floats on the ocean, captures solar energy, then uses that energy to extract hydrogen from seawater. Hydrogen is a clean source of energy, though methods to extract it have often proven too costly or energy intensive to be viable. A typical hydrogen extraction system uses water electrolysis, in which H2 and O2 are separated by sending an electric current through water and divided…

Buddhism and society: restraint or engagement?
This retreat considers the "engaged" facet of Buddhism. On one hand, monks and nuns vow not to serve certain people to the detriment of others, and the very idea of comparing leaders is rejected (Rājā sutta, Ud 2.2). On the other hand, the Buddha has given political and social advice, not nominatively but in connection with actions that reduce or increase suffering… So, restraint or engagement?
2 days of instructions, questions&answers, experiments and exploration (including some periods of silence). 2–3 nights: arrive on Friday evening, leave on Sunday evening or Monday.
If your circumstances do not allow you to afford such a rate, please contact us to explore alternatives or to apply for a bursary.

Plea Deal on DUI Charges for Justin Bieber - South Carolina DUI Defense Lawyers | Strom Law Firm, L.L.C.
Teen pop idol Justin Bieber has reportedly taken a plea deal in his Miami DUI case.
Bieber was formally charged with driving under the influence of drugs, resisting arrest, and possessing an invalid driver's license in January when a Miami police officer pulled the pop superstar over. Although Bieber had not been drinking and driving, the singer tested positive for marijuana, and was drag racing without a driver's license.
The DUI trial was set to begin in May, but after some delays Bieber's representatives announced that he has taken a plea deal – Bieber will plead guilty to reckless driving. The other charges, including the DUI for marijuana, will be dropped.
Reportedly, the DUI plea deal took months longer than expected because the judge overseeing the case made two stipulations: first, Bieber must produce, star in, and pay for an anti-drug PSA, and second, he must attend a drug and alcohol education course.
Bieber's attorneys believed that the judge's demands were inappropriate, that their client did not have a drug or alcohol problem and creating the PSA and attending the education classes would be an admission of guilt. Prosecutors settled for an anger management class in the end.
Your license (or permit) will be suspended or withheld for three months for a first offense; six months for a second offense within five years.
Your license will be suspended for six months if a chemical test is refused during a first offense; a one-year suspension if it's the second offense within five years.

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is currently not accepting new applications for DACA. Only individuals who were previously granted work permits under DACA can submit applications for renewal. The required forms and qualifications for DACA renewal remain the same as previous years.
There have been four lawsuits filed across the country addressing DACA. Judges have decided in favor of continuing the DACA program in the lawsuits filed in New York, Washington, D.C., California, and Texas. Judge Hanen who had the responsibility of dealing with the lawsuit against DACA surprisingly decided not to end the DACA program, noting that ending the program would be more harmful than beneficial for the country and that the states who prepared the lawsuit against DACA waited five years to present an argument against the program. Judge Hanen shared his opinion that the program is illegal, but placed emphasis on that fact that the program affects too many people to be abruptly terminated. The matter will most likely be dealt with by the Supreme Court as other experts in the matter have indicated.
August 31, 2018: Judge Hanen (Federal District Court in Houston, Texas) surprisingly decides not to end the DACA program.
August 3, 2018: A federal judge (Federal District Court for the District of Columbia) rules that the Trump Administration begin accepting new/initial DACA applications, but gives the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) one month to appeal decision.
April 24, 2018: A federal judge (Federal District Court for the District of Columbia) rules that the Trump Administration begin accepting new/initial DACA applications again unless the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can produce a valid explanation for cancelling the DACA program within 90 days (until July 24, 2018); if DHS fails to provide an explanation to the court, it is required to begin accepting new applications.
February 13, 2018: A federal judge (Eastern District of New York) orders that USCIS continue accepting DACA renewal applications.
January 13, 2018: USCIS begins accepting DACA renewals again.
January 9, 2018: A federal judge (Northern District of California) orders that the U.S government continue accepting DACA renewal applications pending final judgment.
October 5, 2017: Deadline to file DACA renewal for work permits that expired by March 5, 2018.
September 5, 2017: Trump administration rescinds deferred action. The administration states that any new applications received after September 5, 2017 would be rejected. DACA-protected individuals whose status expires by March 5, 2018 can file for renewal only until October 5, 2017.
August 15, 2012: Deferred action is introduced as a discrete concession for deportation relief by the Department of Homeland Security.
July 15, 2012: President Obama signs a memorandum known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), granting deferred action for young immigrants. This law was brought into effect as a result of years and years of promoting the DREAM Act and the many failed attempts to try to pass the bill in Congress. President Obama was in charge of sending out a presidential memorandum, a legal instrument to direct the policies of different departments and agencies of the executive branch of the United States.
The cost of applying for DACA is $495. The main application is Form I-821D (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), but the applicant must also submit a work authorization application (I-465) and biometrics (fingerprint) service fees.
Applications are currently being processed in approximately three to six months. Once approved, DACA status and work authorization are valid for two years. If your application is denied, you can present an appeal, but before doing that, another application can be sent after paying the necessary fees again.
Deferred action does not guarantee legal permanent residency or citizenship, which is what the DREAM act aimed at achieving. Deferred action can be revoked. Even though it is not a comprehensive reform, passing of DACA and the revisions made by President Obama's executive action are important steps in bringing relief to those who were brought as children to the United States. DACA allows foreign individuals to remain in the United States with the ability to lead normal lives until a bigger measure in immigration reform can be reached.

Announcing the new Canon EOS-1D X Mark III camera
What is Focal Length?
Focal length doesn't actually refer to the length from front to back of your lens; it is in fact the distance between the optical centre of a lens and the imaging sensor of the camera. The focal length of a lens changes the angle of view which impacts the image that is ultimately captured. A shorter focal length will have a wider angle of view allowing a greater area of the subject to be captured, whereas a longer focal length has a narrower field of view resulting in greater magnification.
It's easiest to remember that the longer the focal length the smaller the field of view and the larger the subject appears to be.
A Little More Detail:
A 'standard', or 'normal' lens (so called because it closely approximates the human field of view) is 50mm. Broadly speaking, anything over this becomes telephoto, while anything under becomes wide-angle.
The focal length of a lens is fixed for non-zoom lenses – also known as prime lenses. For example, the EF-35 F/1.4 L II will always have a 35mm focal length. With zoom lenses, the focal length changes between a set range. For example, the EF 24-70 F2.8 L USM II will have a focal length between 24mm and 70mm, depending on much the lens is zoomed in or out.
One important factor to bear in mind with focal length is that the size of the imaging sensor will also affect the angle of view. For example, all of Canon's EF lens range are designed to be used on 'Full Frame' cameras, ie, a camera with a sensor that is the same size as the 35mm film format. When you put that lens on a camera with a smaller 'APS-C' sized sensor, such as Canon's entry to mid level range EOS cameras, the image will be cropped slightly, giving a telephoto effect. Because of this, you'll often hear photographers using the term 'crop factor' and '35mm equivalent', to explain how the imaging sensor size has changed the 'effective focal length'.

I am available for weddings, children and newborn sessions, engagement sessions, head shots, portraits, events, maternity sessions, and senior portraits. If you have any additional photographic needs, I will work with you to accommodate your requests.
My interest in photography started my junior year in high school when I was a general photographer for the high school yearbook. In my senior year, I was promoted to Candids Photographer and Editor. With that, I began to realize that what I love to photograph is people. I earned my Bachelor's of Art in Photography from Ohio University.
My love for the photography has developed into my passion- photographing people and special events. Capturing the personality of a child, the love between a couple or the happy anticipation of a baby on the way makes me very happy. I aim to use my creativity and ability to capture a moment to create photographs that you will forever treasure.

From time to time I am getting subscription sales. Like a couple per month. Still better than Yay But worse than Crestock.
17 sales total (14 sub - 3 regular) 9 in April.
But never mind as I sayed before I am just hobby photographer, not "Big Stock Picture Factory" like skilled MicroStockers here. I take it mostly as hobby/fun and I am very happy from every sale.
During years I deleted some of my pictures from my portfolios too, but that was mostly for reason that I wasn't satisfied with their quality any more – those were old photos that I shot many years ago.
re your ques to UG: I'm on a handful of micros now, since I left sites my small port didn't do much on. I don't like the idea of having images for sale somewhere I'm not getting payouts, esp. after a year+; plus it makes it easier to have some exclusive images where I actually get payouts.
1st sale a couple of days ago after 7 months submitting. $0.30 on a sub, woo hoo I think I'll buy a..a..a what can you buy for $0.30? But a sale is a sale and hopefully a sign of things to come.
I got my third subscription sale. Size L+, My portfolio size is 292 files.
Do I have to comment on this?
Just 1 sale for me - not looking good!
Pretty disappointing! 17 x 30c subscription sales in over three months!
My portfolio size is 296 files online. My files are online for about 3 months.
hi all, i got a returned sales of -$0.30, it means it deducted my only subs sales and back to $0 now.
i wonder what is that? someone returned my images because they don't like it after bought it?
I am sorry to hear that… I never heard it happened on DP before. It can be whatever – email support and we will see… Noone here can give you exact answer.
I uploaded 250 photos there in Feb this year and have been adding when I get a chance since then. Now up to 420.
any improvement on sales? i notice there are credits plan instead of subscription plan that will pay more for images, anyone getting credits sales?
for subscription sales, does it match something like shutterstock?
^^^ Nothing like shutterstock, I did get a credit sale recently. They are doing quite well for a new site but I only really uploaded because they paid a bonus.
I get a sell every now and then. Not a lot but I do get a random sell every now and then. What I mainly get are subscription sales. I've had a couple of credit sales and only one SMS sale. The ones that have sold are mainly the same ones over and over.
My eight and ninth sale happened just now, one after another.
My portfolio size is 307 files online. I started uploading my files there in March this year.
DP seems very low traffic? low views and low sales and all the sales i got is 0.30.
I try to check out the commission faq..
If you're a photographer or an illustrator looking to make money on your work, you've come to the right place. DepositPhotos.com is the internet's highest paying photostock website you'll find!
why they claim they are the highest paying photostock website? while every sale is 0.30..once a while.
I calculated my average revenue and decided that I won't license my images under $0.50 any more. $0.29 was insultingly small average price. I deleted my images on Deposit Photos. Though I love the site environment. It's a beautiful site.
My one and only exception under $0.50 ($0.45 to be precise) is Shutterstock because of the volume.

The Russian consumer rights watchdog Rospotrebnadzor has prevented the delivery of food products from Western countries, including more than 500 tonnes of chicken legs from the United States, to the Russian market, a Rospotrebnadzor spokesman told Interfax on Thursday.
The delivery of two batches of U.S. chicken legs, weighing a total of 500 tonnes, was banned by the service's branch for St. Petersburg, the spokesman said.
In a separate development, over 46 tonnes of salt pork produced in Poland and Germany, some 26 tonnes of pork liver manufactured in the U.S., as well as five batches of fresh apples weighting more than 100 tonnes were not allowed to enter Russia, he said.
These measures were taken as part of "routine work to identify falsified and banned food products and prevent their sale on the Russian market" in accordance with the Russian president's decree that permits the application of "special economic measures to ensure the security of the Russian Federation," he said.
All attempts to import banned products to Russia are suppressed during sanitary and quarantine control, the spokesman said.

Note from Berit: Decades ago, when I was a new Christian, a friend gave me a book titled, Lord of the Valleys. Based on the Scripture above, the book was the personal testimony of Florence Bulle, who suffered much pain because of a chronic, debilitating lung disease. But in her hardest times, her Shepherd seemed especially close. He continually reminded her that He did indeed reign in the darkest of valleys as well as on the highest mountains -- and that the victories in the valleys would bring her more joy in Jesus than the triumphs of the heights.
I hope these excerpts -- and others to be posted later -- will encourage all who often face the battles of the valleys.
...it is not enough to see God in control—we must be rightly related to the King.
When we are entrenched by the forces of the enemy—people who would cut us down, situations which would destroy us, or tragedy which would shake our faith—victory depends on who is our king. Is it Benhadad, who saw only the God of the hills? Or have we enlisted in the army of the King of kings, knowing that in whatever valley we find ourselves, the battle is His! And we are more than conquerors through Christ!
"Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths.
To come to the place where I was willing to let Him assert His claim to certain areas of my life had been a terrible struggle. Never had I known such conflict. I thought I had already walked through the valley of submission, but this valley experience was three months long, without parallel to anything I had ever passed through before.
From then on life has been lived on a different plane. Even though it was no grand finale, from then on everything which I touched or which touched my life, was related to that committal. There are ever new claims of His Lordship to be met; the valleys don't become shallower, but deeper and darker, as we move on from faith to faith. And always victory means complete identification with Christ in spite of the circumstances. But there can be no daily victories unless there are daily battles.
And so it was I looked back over one of the most difficult years I had yet known. There had been the strain of financial pressure, personal heartache, emotional stress, and I had been very ill. That spring the doctors had told me I wasn't fighting to live anymore.
They were right. I was so utterly weary; I wanted so desperately to go Home. The only thing which held me to life was my little daughter, five years old at the time. Yet in God's dealings with me, I had settled it: if He did take me Home, I could be sure He had something better for my little girl.
". . . whether through life or death..."
...Of course, he was right! But I didn't feel very saintly right then. And now that I was back home and the situation remained unchanged, I felt even less like a saint.
When a minister friend came in to see me, I shared with him some of God's dealings during the past days and weeks.
I closed my eyes, the tears spilling over in a rush. Getting me ready to live? But Lord, I'm so tired, so weary. How can I go on?
I began to feel myself relax.
In everything? The pain, the tears, the loneliness, the heartache, the endless struggle for breath? Not afterward—but in the midst of everything give thanks! And smile back, "for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus" for me.
My mind suddenly began rerunning the "what if's?" My little girl? No, I couldn't keep back the tears which streamed, but I could say, "Yes, Lord, she is Yours. And I want my love for You to become a consuming fire that will burn away every other love—every cherished dream—everything—until there is only an eternal flame of love for Jesus." There aren't any "what if's?" if He is really Lord.
Who can will these things in themselves? Who can be sufficient in himself?
Not me—that was for certain! But I could still feel the warmth of His smile as I whispered, "Yes, Lord—I can and do choose to put my will on the side of God's will, even against myself when they clash.... Let me live from day to day with only the strength You give, one breath at a time, taking 'the cup' from Your hand and giving thanks.
"I can't of myself—but I can trust Your choice for me as being best--and smile back and say, 'Yes, Lord!' ... "In everything" I can give thanks!
May we all who profess Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior--we all who profess born again--be made ready--sanctified with renewed minds--to Live for Christ in this life and in the hereafter! Praise God!
Thanks be to God on the highest; for it is His Spirit's work in us--the Spirit of Christ Jesus--and in our lives making us able to Live for Him. For we have died, yet we Live, but it is Christ in and through us Who Lives. What a faithful God we serve!
May we be willing, as Florence Bulle, to walk by faith and not by sight. Letting God do our walking, especially in the "valleys". Though as well in the "mountains"; as pride is an ever present evil to our souls as despair is in the valleys. For it is the trials God allows in our lives that bring perseverance we need to endure to the end in Christ. And to "prove" us--to ourselves--that we are His forevermore. Though I too seek them as they be the will of God; but my flesh is weak even as my spirit is willing. Oh Holy Spirit, give me the will to do and to do God's pleasure that whosoever will might be Saved. To God be the glory. Amen!


Opened in 1891 and now run by the London Borough of Wandsworth, Putney Vale is just stunning. In twenty metres of path behind the chapel, there are more amazing monuments than you'll see in the whole of most cemeteries. It has a particularly good crop of angels, and three rather lovely mausolea. As you work your way down the hill away from the chapel, the early twentieth century splendour does tend to run out: areas used for newer burials are mostly lawn cemetery. The chapel itself is rather lovely, but has the crematorium chimney tacked on the back rather bizarrely disguised as a square, white castellated tower.
Visiting: Putney Bridge tube and then the 265 bus: it stops right outside. Start at the chapel (eastern) end, where most of the more interesting monuments are. Funerals happen on Saturdays, so be prepared to melt into the background while the living do their thing.

Attribution: How content creators get screwed and why it needs fixing
by mr_trick September 3rd, 2013
Last week, Music Ally published a relatively small but nonetheless notable story: Daft Punk had surpassed 100m streams on Spotify - quite a milestone for both the band and the streaming music service.
The following day, the same story about Daft Punk appeared on the Music Week website. What was notable, however, was that Music Week had failed to credit Music Ally in any way. To all intents and purposes, it looked like news Music Week had generated themselves. The day after, the same thing happened on NME.com. Music Ally got in touch with both sites and pointed out that they had originated this story (that is to say, they hadn't received a press release along with many others and run their version of this news - they'd happened to notice the stream count and turned it into a news post). Both sites ultimately amended their articles to give due credit.
In that instance, the issue was resolved perfectly amicably. However both episodes are fine examples of an ever-growing problem, namely the lack of attribution in online content creation. Ask any credible website of note and I'm sure they'll give you at least one example. Drowned In Sound famously saw most of their interview with Paul McCartney reprinted by the Daily Mail with no credit given. Buzzfeed routinely run stories driven from Reddit - as do so many other websites that it would be entirely fair to describe Reddit as the primordial ooze from which 90% of viral content flows. Every day, photos, jokes and more are shared on social networks, with the creator of that content blissfully unaware.
It's quite simple: content creators of all types are getting short-changed on a daily basis by others stealing their work and re-running it without attributing anything back to them. The net result is that certain sites build huge audience numbers whilst those that created the content driving the views get precisely zero by way of financial recompense.
So what can be done about this? John Battelle has written many times about this problem - always with great insight and wisdom. His basic premise was that content should be delivered in a manner that is attributable - that is, it could be used elsewhere whilst retaining the credit back to the originator.
How could this work? One thought I had was that any sites drawing ad revenue should share their income with the content creator. Consider Amazon affiliate links. If I (as an Amazon Affiliate member) rave about a product on my website and post a link to purchase it, I stand to make upwards of 5% of the price of that product if you click through and purchase - no small amount if the item in question was a TV or laptop, for example. Could the same concept apply to content creation? What would Drowned In Sound have made if they'd have taken X% of the ad revenue generated by the Daily Mail's piece on McCartney?
Ironically YouTube - a site often at the centre of grumbles around income - is probably one of the finest examples of monetising created content. If I created a video that went viral I would - assuming I'd enabled monetisation - stand to gain from every site embedding that piece of content. Wherever it runs, that clip has my name against it, and so not only is there a financial gain, but a reputational one as well.
This shouldn't end at multimedia content though. Why can't the same concepts apply to articles, interviews or influencer coverage that generates a tidal wave of virality? More needs to be done to ensure that attribution back to the original content creator isn't just a polite gesture but a requirement by law - a sad thing in many respects, in that it feels like that is the only way to ensure people's works remain credited.
One thought I wonder is whether the ad networks themselves could do more on this front to assist. Let's consider the DiS/Daily Mail issue again, but in simple terms for now and pretend that they shared the same advertising network. Could that network recognise that DiS had originated the content the Daily Mail was drawing upon and allocate revenues back to them accordingly? At first blush it seems far-fetched, but if I release a song and then someone steals a large proportion of it a releases a new song containing my work, I'm within my rights to take action.
Let's be clear though: this isn't just about the likes of DiS. It extends as a problem into the social networks and services we all use on a daily basis. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and others all thrive on the content that flows through them. However in every instance, the content creators see little payback for their efforts. The lifeblood of the web sees precious little, whilst the frameworks around delivering that content see a lot. How much is shared back? Zero.
I find it ironic that at a time when everyone is obsessed with music discovery and other such "on trend" problems that don't really need solving, some of the greatest problems threatening the open web continue unaddressed. Attribution for content creators remains one of the largest and most-threatening problems, because without it we will see the well of originality - the very thing that makes the web so brilliant - dry up. Don't get me wrong: this is not an easy issue to resolve at all. Fixing this may well affect the entire content consumption model of the internet. But fix it we must, because otherwise we're left with nothing but banality as the best and most original minds all move on.

Since the advent of the smartphone and its almost universal use as a handy means to capture photos and videos, there has been considerably less concern for the quality of lenses, and greater reliance upon digital electronics and software to provide the desired quality of resolution. There are, of course, still many professional photographers for whom only the finely engineered lenses of a high-end SLR are regarded as appropriate for their task.
The amateur astronomers and birdwatchers also tend to be particular about the precision-made mirrors and lenses that provide the magnification for their astronomical telescopes and field glasses, respectively. Beyond their knowledge of these relatively common devices, however, few people are familiar with the surprisingly wide range of additional applications for which high-precision optical components are absolutely essential.
In many cases, these applications are conducted in a laboratory. The science of spectroscopy, for instance, relies on instruments to determine the interaction of physical substances with various forms of radiation, using their absorptive or reflective properties to identify them. The allied science of spectrometry provides researchers with a means with which to measure the amount of radiation absorbed or reflected, and to use the results as the basis for calculating the concentration of specific compounds or elements present. In each case, the operation of the instrument is dependent upon quality lenses and other precision-made, glass parts, such as prisms, mirrors, filters and diffraction gratings.
When designing scientific instruments such as these, the quality of glass used is crucial. To construct the precision optical components requires the manufacturer to comply with the strictest specifications, and one of the most important requirements is a low-refractive index that, ideally, should be as close to that of the surrounding air as possible.
While the DVD has long superseded the 8mm movie, and even the more recent VHS tape, that projector you connect to the office laptop, in order to presents a slideshow to your prospective clients, also depends on high-quality lenses to magnify and clarify its digitised images. Similarly, without the aid of complex precision optics, we would be unable to experience the sight of the night sky as it was at the time of the pharaohs, through the incredible instrument know as a planetarium.
Closer to home, it might have escaped your notice that the humble car headlight has undergone a remarkable transformation. No longer a single or pair of incandescent globes, these invaluable devices now rely upon high-quality optics to provide the necessary spread and focus of light, and the means with which to dip their beams. Labotec Industrial Technologies is a supplier of world-class, precision optical components for many important applications.

BRACEBRIDGE – Parry Sound-Muskoka MP, Tony Clement, presented Muskoka Victim Services (MVS) today with proceeds from his annual charity golf tournament to provide Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) facilitator training.
Clement presented Chris Eby, Executive Director of MVS with $7,500 to certify two trainers. These trainers will be the first certified CISM trainers in Muskoka and they will be able to facilitate trainings in Muskoka to a multitude of agencies, organizations and community groups.
Critical Incident Stress Management provides immediate and skillful responses to critical incidents be they of a personal nature, such as sudden death due to suicide or homicide, or a community experience, such as disasters resulting from floods and fires. CISM supports the individuals directly impacted by the event as well as those witnessing the event. As important, CISM support is also provided to First Responders such as police, fire and EMS to ensure that the men and women who care for us are also cared for.
These two trainers will train and certify people from a multitude of organizations, to come alongside those exposed and impacted by the traumatic events and support them to manage their immediate stress response and begin the process of rebuilding their resilience and their overall wellness.
Along with training its own staff and volunteers, MVS also will open these training opportunities up to local community organizations including the Muskoka Ambulance Service, the Six Municipal Fire Departments, the Ontario Provincial Police, Trillium Lakelands District School Board, Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board, Moose Deer Point First Nation, Wahta Mohawks First Nation, Children's Aid Society, Community Mental Health, Municipal and District government staff and local humanitarian organizations such as the Red Cross and Salvation Army to name a few.
"Muskoka Victims Services does incredible work in our community, most of which goes unseen by the broader public. I am pleased to be able to support this valuable training, and thank all sponsors and golfers who attend my annual Tony Clement Charity Golf Classic. Without their support, this donation would not be possible," said Clement.

I came across this post – 12 Days of Christmasy Citizen Science Projects – and thought I would share some of my favorite Citizen Science Projects. One thing to remember – just because the word "science" is in the title doesn't mean that these projects won't fit into the middle school math curriculum. Many of these projects provide data sets that can be analyzed in a variety of ways!
If you would like to suggest other projects, please add them to the comments section.


On July 12, 2018, three mothers seeking asylum in the United States, filed this putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of all those similarly situated nationwide. The plaintiffs sued the Attorney General of the United States, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Health and Human Services, along with their respective agency heads, for allegedly violating the plaintiffs' Fifth Amendment rights to due process and equal protection under the U.S. Constitution. Each of the three named plaintiffs and the sought class had been separated from their minor children upon detention in the United States. The plaintiffs, represented by the Immigrant Advocacy and Litigation Center, the University of Southern California, and public counsel, sought an injunction requiring the defendants to provide mental-health screenings and appropriate trauma-informed remedial medical and mental-health services to those parents and children who were separated as a result of the government's immigrant family separation policy. See "How Trump Came to Enforce a Practice of Separating Migrant Families." Plaintiffs also sought attorney's fees.
Plaintiff Ms. P, along with her daughter, arrived in the United States on or around May 17, 2018 after fleeing a physically and sexually abusive relationship in her native Guatemala. Ms. P and her daughter were detained near the border and placed in a windowless room that lacked basic amenities alongside 150 other detainees. Here, Ms. P witnessed other children being forcibly taken from their parents, whose distress was mocked by the detention officers. On May 20, after several days in these conditions, Ms. P's daughter was taken away, with no indication given as to when, or if, Ms. P would see her again. About two weeks later, Ms. P received notice of her daughter's location. They were not permitted contact with one another until June 22, when they were able to speak via telephone. According to licensed clinical social workers familiar with Ms. P and her daughter, they are both showing signs of trauma, anxiety, and depression as a result of the ongoing separation. Ms. P has not received any mental health or counseling services from the government to address these concerns.
Plaintiff Ms. O, along with her daughter, arrived in the United States on or around May 17, 2018 after fleeing gang violence in her native Honduras. Upon crossing the border, Ms. O and her daughter flagged down a patrol car. They were then processed and detained separately at a nearby facility. Ms. O was placed in a holding cell that resembled a chain-link dog kennel with 50 other women and no basic amenities. Here, Ms. O witnessed other children being forcibly taken from their parents, who were taunted by the detention officers. On May 21, Ms. O, along with 50 other detainees, was taken to court where she plead guilty to criminal illegal entry though she did not understand the consequences. After the proceeding, Ms. O was transferred to another facility without her daughter. Ms. O did not learn of her daughter's whereabouts until May 30. She and her daughter have spoken over the phone only three times for less than five minutes since being separated. Ms. O has not received any mental health or counseling services from the government to address her trauma.
Plaintiff Ms. M, along with her daughter, arrived in the United States on or around May 18, 2018 after fleeing domestic and gang violence in her native El Salvador. Upon crossing the border, Ms. M and her daughter flagged down a patrol car and were immediately taken to facility and separated for questioning. Ms. M was mocked by detention officers during this questioning. Ms. M was kept in a "cage" that lacked basic amenities with 40-50 other women. Food was scarce, and the guards would sometimes throw crackers on the floor of the cell and laugh as the hungry women scrambled to pick them up. From her cage, Ms. M could see her daughter crying in a separate cell. On May 21, Ms. M was taken to criminal proceedings with 50 other detainees where she believed she had to, and did, plead guilty though she did not understand the consequences. After these proceedings, Ms. M was transferred to another facility. She did not learn of her daughter's location or condition until her mother, who is a permanent legal resident of the United States, provided her with this information on May 25. On June 22, Ms. M was able to speak with her daughter, who was crying uncontrollably, on the phone for about one minute. Ms. M was released on bond on July 12.
On July 12, the plaintiffs sought to have their lawsuit declared "related" to the 1985 Flores case that resulted in an important and long-lasting immigration settlement agreements. Judge Dolly M. Gee declined to transfer the case to Flores because this action sought affirmative relief separate and apart from the Flores Settlement Agreement and did not call for a determination of the same questions of law or fact.
On July 18, 2018, the plaintiffs moved for a preliminary injunction requiring defendants to provide meaningful access to mental health care screening and treatment to plaintiffs and other proposed class members. On July 27, 2018, the plaintiffs moved for class certification, proposing to define the class as all adult parents nationwide who (1) were, are, or will be detained in immigration custody by the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), and (2) have a minor child who has been, is, or will be separated from them by DHS and detained in DHS or Office of Refugee Resettlement ("ORR") custody or foster care, absent a demonstration in a hearing that the parent is unfit or presents a danger to the child.
The court heard oral arguments in support of these motions during a hearing on September 20, 2018. Rulings on both the motion for class certification and the motion for a preliminary injunction are pending.
Plaintiff Description Three immigrant mothers who were separated from their daughters upon detention at the U.S. border.

Corinthian-Casuals see sell-out crowds during Football League fans ban
Luke Edwards
Bans on entry to football league games has driven supporters towards non-league football as Corinthian-Casuals vs. Leatherhead FC brought sell-out crowds.
The current rules stipulate that sides below step two on the National League pyramid can permit fans into their grounds while sides from the National League North/South and above cannot.
As the highest-rated amateur side in the country, Corinthian-Casuals have provided an alternative option for match-going football fans.
In previous seasons, Casuals would have expected attendances of around 300.
Media officer Stuart Tree said: "We've had increased interest from fans of football league sides like Brentford and Wimbledon, getting their football fix.
"Going to games is part of people's Saturday routine, it's part of their culture. Staying at home is probably alien to what they're used to doing.
"A lot of these fans are people who go home and away, so staying indoors is an unusual experience.
"It's the matchday experience they crave above anything else, and we can provide the closest thing to that normal experience.
"There's also a lot of advantages to non-league, like being able to have a drink on the terraces and mix with other fans, rather than having to sit down."
The increased turnout could have benefits in maintaining the club through the pandemic.
Tree added: "We've signed more sponsors than we have ever done in previous years. Maybe that's down to us becoming more visible. There was a fear that maybe sponsors wouldn't be as forthcoming in this day and age.
"We've been very fortunate to have people come forward and say they'd be happy to sponsor us."
While they are thriving financially, Corinthian-Casuals have struggled to implement measures to match the changes to restrictions.
Tree said: "We're having to change things on the fly all the time. The tier two changes on food and drink rules came too quickly for us to change things in time for our game against Enfield, meaning we couldn't serve refreshments on the day."
Further rule changes mean clubs can only sell alcohol to people when they are sitting down, but Tree said this creates unnecessary pressure.
He added: "It's baffling to suggest that if you're standing you're more likely to catch coronavirus.
"It's crazy not only to implement but to police. We're all volunteers who do this because it's what we love. Things like this test your limits.
"It seems that every five minutes they're coming up with new ideas. They aren't giving their plans time to work out, and it feels like the powers that be are panicking. We're on the receiving end of that.
"I understand it's a fluid situation, but we feel like we're putting in the correct measures.
"We have temperature checks at the gates, we've put in track and trace, enforcing social distancing, hand sanitising points, a one-way system at the bar.
"We believe we are doing everything we possibly can, but we still have to keep adapting."
Corinthian-Casuals have also been unable to hire out their bar for private events and slammed the government's 'wholly unnecessary' ban on entry for Dulwich Hamlet supporters ahead of their FA Cup tie in September.
Tree said: "It's frustrating because we would have sold far more tickets than we did had there been no restrictions on step two teams.
"They should set out their guidelines and stick to them."

Delivering Change for Crawley
Political CV
Crawley Observer Column, Wednesday 25th October 2017
Last week, members of Crawley Borough Council had the opportunity for the first time to tour 'Little Trees', the town's new cemetery.
Located just south of Broadfield, the new cemetery will have space to provide a final resting place for loved ones for the next 50 years. Its design enables it to accommodate burials from all faiths, in addition to woodland burials, in a well-maintained environment.
The construction of Little Trees follows an increasingly frantic eight year search, as Snell Hatch began to reach maximum occupancy and we faced the threat of being unable to provide somewhere to bury Crawley residents within the borough's boundaries. On becoming Leader, the case was even made to me that the council had no legal obligation to provide a graveyard, yet it was our obligation to the community to provide a place to bury loved ones nearby and not the law which was always my main concern.
Situating graveyards is difficult. In Crawley, all the land within the town already has a designated residential, economic or leisure use, and every category is in short supply. We couldn't build near to Gatwick as bodies would have to be disinterred in the event of a new runway and there are existing issues with providing such a noisy resting place. Some of the sites we considered were adjacent to nursing homes which would have been somewhat indelicate and you are restricted to locations with relatively low levels of groundwater.
Nonetheless, following careful negotiation to relocate the Girl Guides to Tilgate Forest, we have found in Little Trees a new cemetery site of which Crawley can be proud. So far, one resident has found a final resting place at the cemetery, long-serving former councillor Keith Blake, a man who dedicated many years to serving the town in a range of roles and who sadly passed away earlier this year. Keith served as Cabinet Member for Environment for much of the eight year search for a new site and it feels appropriate that having passed away he now has the chance to rest in the place he helped to create.

School gets the best of him, I get the rest.
I don't know whether this is something all parents of reception children experience, I don't know if it is because my August born baby started school almost as soon as he turned four with trousers a little too long and sleeves that reached over his hands or maybe because he has always needed a little more sleep than your average child but I miss the 'him' that I have been reminded of these past two weeks.
Every morning I wake him, his eyes still sleepy and his body slow. I make breakfast and he dresses with little conversation. The walk to school sees him perk up, the fresh air hits and we chat about what the day holds. His eyes gain their sparkle, he holds my hand all the way and he is my boy. Almost as soon as we set out we are at the gates and he excitedly runs into the classroom with a kiss and a smile over his shoulder.
His teacher gets the pleasure of his company between 9am and 3:15, she watches him learn and explore, build friendships, learn independence, laugh and smile. The child she sees is a delight, sociable, inquisitive and full of energy.
I meet him at the school gates and nothing beats the look on his face as he spots me, a smile that lights up his whole face. He runs out and gives me the biggest hug. I ask a question about his day but I already see him shutting down and by the time we walk through the front door he is done, he slumps into the sofa requesting food immediately and needs some quiet time.
The rest of the afternoon is both long and short at the same time. The hours until bedtime seem to drag but nothing really happens. I don't push too much as I can see already that I won't get anywhere, he can manage to watch tv, listen to a story or two but not much else. His energy is spent, he is still my boy but not completely.
The weekends are spent recovering, catching up on sleep, getting things done, time with his brothers who he misses in the week and Sunday night seems to follow straight on from Saturday morning without us really having time to catch our breath.
The past two weeks I have had him at home with me, and I have realised how much I love his company, how sweet and caring and intelligent he is, how much I miss having him around, how much fun we have together. He has been at school since September, this isn't the first break but a mixture of the beautiful weather and all the possibilities it brings and the fact that by the next week off I will be so heavily pregnant that things won't be as easy, I won't have as much energy and he won't have as much of my focus.
This fortnight has been amazing, I have been privileged to see the side of my boy that only his teacher really gets at the moment, we have made memories, spent time just holding hands and making sense of the world, we have curled up together to watch films, done puzzles on the floor, built sandcastles on the beach and relaxed into our days with no set times to be up and out. It has been the first time since he started school when I have seriously considered home schooling, just so that I could spend more time with this wonderful boy of mine.
Dylan doesn't feature so heavily on the blog any more and this is a big reason why, there just isn't enough time in the week with him. I love this boy of mine, I love watching him grow, learn about the world and about himself. I love his sweet smile, how he is so protective over his brothers, so loyal to his friends and how he can still be my baby when he gets tired.
School will be claiming his energy again but I am holding out for the next week off and some time to really appreciate him again.


Financial institutions partnering with fintechs has been added to your bookmarks.
Financial institutions partnering with fintechs has been removed from your bookmarks.
There's a shake-out happening in the fintech world.
Change is coming to the fintech world. A recent Deloitte report found a slowdown in the pace of new start-up launches; from almost 720 new company formations in 2016 to just over 90 last year. But investor interest is not in decline. In fact, our report notes that private equity firms and others joined venture capital investors to drive total global investment in fintechs to an all-time high of $33 billion in 2017. We found similar evidence in the recent growth in the number of fintech acquisitions and initial public offerings. Our conclusion: There's a shake-out happening in the fintech world.
So what should readers do about the changes occurring within the fintech world? Fintech by the numbers included a call for incumbent financial institutions to reevaluate their strategy for partnering with these small—and not-so-small—technology firms once seen as competitors but now increasingly viewed as potential partners. We are finalizing a new report to find out exactly how these marriages are progressing. In speaking with fintech CEOs, leaders both of digital strategy and of innovation at various global financial institutions, and leaders of prominent technology incubators, we learned that many have moved past the honeymoon phase—and that each side has some work to do.
Perceptions of what a "fintech" is and are evolving. Some industry participants say fintechs include startups offering products and services that compete with traditional firms. Others view "big tech" companies and other startups that aren't specifically in the financial services space, such as those providing artificial intelligence solutions, as fintechs. Some even refuse to use the term "fintech" any longer.
Many fintechs told us about the multiple hoops and long relationship-building cycles required when engaging with incumbents. We learned they find it frustrating to make their case to multiple groups—the business, technology, and compliance—to achieve a win. While acknowledging these challenges, incumbents told us there is too much at risk to fully open up their back-end systems and customer data.
Startups said they benefit from engaging with incumbents. Some say they appreciate the assistance from financial institutions to learn what they "don't know they don't know." Others note they have addressed this issue head-on by bringing on board people with direct industry knowledge, which they say helps to shorten the deal cycle.
Financial institutions also are learning—many said they haven't yet changed their cultures sufficiently to accept failure, work in teams, and become more agile in general. They also recognize that they can be hard to work with. As one leader put it, "We recognize we probably aren't doing a good job in coordinating" fintech partnership efforts. This is understandable given the constraints and risks discussed above, but it appears that incumbents are learning from fintechs.
The world of good ideas is expanding. Many incumbents told us they are seeing an explosion of good ideas from all corners of the world, and that the US—specifically Silicon Valley and New York—no longer have a monopoly on innovation. This supports one of the findings from our first report.
Many of the fintechs and financial institutions we spoke with have been at this collaboration thing for a while. But most acknowledge they're still facing challenges in bringing the two sides together. As one person put it, "In reality, it's not a happy marriage." We agree that while it might not be happy yet, early returns from our conversations suggest there's more positive to come out of these partnerships. If the positives continue to outweigh the negatives, we believe they will find a way to keep working at it until they get it right.
Be on the lookout for more details when of our new report arrives in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we'd love to hear about your experiences with incumbents or fintechs. What's working, and not working, for you? Where do you see the greatest opportunities and risks? Join the conversation on Twitter at @DeloitteFinSvcs.

Coniston, Cumbria
History, tourist information, and nearby accommodation
BY DAVID ROSS, EDITOR
Historic Connections
HERITAGE RATING:
Coniston is a popular village at the north-west corner of Coniston Water. The origin of the name is thought to derive from 'King's town'. Coniston has a long history as a centre for mining, with copper mines dating to the 17th century. More recently, slate mining has helped shape the landscape.
However, it is primarily as a centre for walking that Coniston is rightfully known; the area is known for its superb recreational opportunities, and many of the most popular walks in the Lake District start or finish from Coniston.
Of these, the most popular - and one of the easiest - is the ascent of the Old Man of Coniston, the peak that rises above the village. There are several routes to the top, and the routes are well-trodden and easy to follow, yet still challenging enough to provide an enjoyable walk for even the most experienced fell-walker.
Almost any walk in the area can be combined with other trails to create a much longer circular route. If you wonder if the ascent of the Old Man of Coniston may be too difficult for you, let me assure you that my 7-year old daughter made it, and she is not known for her enthusiasm in tackling challenging exercise! Your reward for the ascent is a wonderful view across Coniston Water.
If walking doesn't appeal to you, you'll probably enjoy taking a boat trip on Coniston Water. Several private companies provide regular boat trips. The Steam Yacht Gondola, operated by the National Trust, is just what it sounds like; a restored 19th-century boat in the shape of a Venetian gondola, powered by a steam engine.
Coniston Water
There are also regular tours offered by the Coniston Launch company, with several themed voyages, including a Swallows and Amazon cruise (highly recommended). Coniston Water was the setting for several of Arthur Ransome's popular 'Swallows and Amazons' stories. Keen readers of Ransome's work will recognize Coniston Water landmarks.
On the far shore of Coniston Water, across from the village, is Brantwood, the residence of Victorian writer John Ruskin. The house is preserved much as Ruskin left it, and the superb gardens provide wonderful views across the lake.
The Ruskin Museum in Coniston provides more details of this remarkable man's life and works. It also boasts the original 'Amazon' boat from the Arthur Ransome stories and a special exhibit on Donald Campbell, the world speed record pioneer who was killed on Coniston Water while attempting to set a water speed record. You can see salvaged pieces of Campbell's Bluebird K7 as well as his crash helmet and overalls.
Campbell is buried in the overflow graveyard of St Andrew's Church. For many years his body lay lost in the depths of the lake, but it was later found, and Campbell was buried here, beneath a simple slate gravestone on which is engraved the shape of a bluebird. John Ruskin is buried in the original churchyard under a Celtic-style cross.
Coniston village store
A short distance to the north-east of Coniston is Tarn Hows, a famous Victorian beauty spot, where trails lead around a small lake set in a bowl of hills.
Coniston is proud of the fact that it was the very first recipient of the national award for 'Village of the Year', in 1999.
