Avilar's easy-to-use skills management software application, WebMentor Skills™, helps organizations identify, analyze and manage skills gaps within their workforce. By identifying the strengths and weaknesses of your workforce, you can take action to improve your training programs, develop your workforce's skills and improve their performance.
Identifying skill gaps with competency-based skills assessments, a skills database and skills tracking to identify skills gaps is a critical first step to making improvements in your organization's competencies.
Define your competency management plan.
Analyze your skills inventory and skills gaps.
Take action to achieve your new objectives.
Online assessments help you identify both hidden strengths and critical weaknesses within your workforce. A critical first step in our competency management system, assessments allow organizations to collect critical skills data so they can make important planning decisions about training and staffing.
Assessment results show skill definitions measured by a rating scale. Rating scales can range from two to seven points based on your organization's needs. Most organizations find that a five-point rating scale provides an effective evaluation of proficiency, ranging from "no proficiency" to "a high level of mastery."
After assessing their skills, users can access their "Strengths Report" and their "Individual Skill Gaps Report." Organization leaders can analyze this data for individuals and across the entire organization to create action plans based on skills gaps overall or by role, providing valuable insight into workforce skill levels. Armed with this data, managers and leaders are able to make better informed decisions resulting in improved staff performance and reduced training and staffing costs.
Your WebMentor Skills™ competency management system can be up and running in as little as one day with our online, hosted system. Customers who prefer to install and run the application on their own in-house servers can license the application and be up and running quickly.


I have several questions regarding grsecurity on Fedora, I am posting them all here and hoping that I can do that, don't want to clutter with several different questions regarding one topic. I am wanting to set up grsecurity alongside SELinux on fedora 21 installation for better security, but I still need to learn a lot.
Can grsecurity be configured on Fedora 21 alongside enabled SELinux without any problems from having both?
Is there anywhere a step-by-step guide on how to do it for Fedora 21, with kernel build 3.16+ ? I found this: http://thiébaud.fr/fedora_grsec.html but it's for version 20, are there any differences in the process for version 20 and 21?

Many couples don't consider having an engagement shoot, seeing it as something rather optional or maybe even an unnecessary luxury. However, the couples, who have a pre-wedding shoot always end up with better wedding photographs!
Pre-wedding shoots aren't all about the photographs. The primary goal is to build a relationship between the couple and the photographer, so that they're on friendly terms and familiar with each other when the wedding day comes.
You'll grow confident of the photographic abilities of the person taking your pictures and grow more comfortable around them too. During an engagement photo shoot, let us know what kind of photos you'd rather not have, which side you prefer to be photographed from and so on.
We will also provide you with some simple posing advice which will help you get the most out of your wedding day. In the end, you'll end up with a whole bunch of photos that you can cherish as much as your actual wedding album!
Where should the shoot take place?
Wherever you'd like, although I'd strongly encourage to pick a location that is special to you as a couple. The place should reflect who you are, where you first met or had your first date. If you're stumped, we could give you some tips and suggestions as to where it'd be good to have an engagement shoot.
Having a pre-wedding shoot allows for the photographer to get to know you and thus prepare for the wedding day itself a little bit better. These will be some of the very last photos of you as unmarried people, so you'll want to make it special!
There is no dress code for an engagement shoot and although you'll want to dress up and make up for it, leave the formal look for the wedding day itself. A quick word of advice would be to steer clear of wearing bold patterns – unless you really want to. That's because strong patterns might monopolise photos a tad too much.
That said, being as relaxed and comfortable as possible is what makes for some strikingly emotional engagement photographs of you as a couple. A lot of couples find that engagement shoots are a great way to test out their hair and make-up, so you can see for yourself what works and what doesn't, and make for adjustments come wedding day.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
Flag celebrates 3rd
annual Oktoberfest
Polka music and yodeling will be
emulating from Wheeler Park Sat-urday,
creating a lively atmosphere
for throngs of locals mingling and sampling
various traditional fall ales. This will be the
scene of the 3rd Annual Flagstaff Oktober-fest,
an event celebrating German culture
and fine brews.
The Flagstaff Oktoberfest was founded
three years ago by Flagstaff local Debbi Gro-gan,
an NAU alumna, who owns and runs
the planning company Peak Events with her
daughter, Jennifer. Peak Events is a full-ser-vice
event-planning firm that specializes in
parties, weddings and corporate events. Jen-nifer
said her mother was driven to create an
Oktoberfest because of the void.
"In 2007–2008 she decided, 'You know
what, Flagstaff doesn't have an Oktoberfest;
let us figure out how to put one on,'" Jennifer
said. "So that is what we started to do."
Jennifer said the Flagstaff Oktoberfest
has experienced a rapid increase in atten-dance
over the past two years.
"The first year we had 500 people, last
year we had 3,500 and this year we're hoping
for five to 7,000," Jennifer said. "We're hoping
folks from Phoenix will still come up because
it is nice and cool here."
This year's festival will benefit the Flag-staff
Sunrise Lions Club, an international
non-profit organization dedicated to empow-ering
volunteers to serve their communities,
meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace
and promote international understanding.
A bevy of alcoholic and non-alcoholic
beverages will be available for guests to sam-ple
all day. The long list includes Fat Tire, Fat
Tire Hoptoberfest, Newcastle, red and white
wine, pear cider and Pilsner.
Hungry guests will be able to chow

Ever wonder what col-lege
professors and
their wives do at 2
a.m. on a Sunday morning?
Shattered glasses, the reveal-ing
of dark secrets and an
almost-love-affair in a small
college town in Connecti-cut
sets the backdrop for the
classic play Who's Afraid of
Virginia Woolf, performed by
Theatrikos.
Set in the 1960s, the play
follows the conflict of two
couples: the bickering Martha
and George and the modest
Nick and Honey, whose mar-riages
are built on lies. It only
takes a few glasses of alcohol
for the dark truths of the past
to come flowing out.
Right off the bat, dis-cord
ensues when Martha and
George return from a party
thrown by Martha's father —
who is also the president of the
local college in which George
works — arguing about a
movie. The tension quickly
rises when George learns the
new biology professor and
his wife are coming over for
drinks. This scene sets the tone
for the rest of the play.
Robert Albee wrote the
play in 1962 and won a num-ber
of awards, gaining national
recognition; it even turned
into a major motion picture in
1966. Theatrikos director Scott
Tignor said he is sticking to
the original script of the classic
play that was chosen by audi-ence
members last season.
"We are keeping every-thing
intact the way the au-thor
wrote it," Tignor said.
"This season we are doing a
season of revivals. The play
was actually chosen by our
audiences. It was some-thing
we did years ago
and it was something they
wanted to see again."
Tignor said that this
tense and distinctive
humorous show is
tricky to master,
though the actors are
right on target.

Mr. Bolen was a man that never tired. He was at all times willing and ready to help a friend and neighbor, never thinking of his welfare. Mr. Bolen made friends wherever he went and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Besides his relatives, he leaves a host of friends that will mourn his passing.

Cuarteto Quiroga – New CD "HERITAGE" – Teaser (Brunetti String Quartet L.185)
Teaser for Cuarteto Quiroga's new CD for Cobra Records, "HERITAGE: The Music of Madrid in the Time of Goya", featuring world premiere recordings on gut strings and period bows of quartets by Boccherini & Brunetti and rare works by Canales & Almeida. More info at www.cobrarecords.com & www.cuartetoquiroga.com
HERITAGE: The Music of Madrid in the Time of Goya
Most music lovers around the world identify the birth of string quartet with the name of the great Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, so called by musical tradition "the father of string quartet". The collective cultural imaginary places string quartet, thus, as a central European phenomenon, with Vienna, Mannheim, and maybe northern Italy and the Bohemian lands, as epicentres of a musical earthquake which would shake the European music scene forever. Furthermore, when the expansion of quartet as totemic genre is studied, the names of London, Paris, Amsterdam, the court of Prussia and even the nordic Stockholm appear consistently in the picture, but one European capital is usually left behind as culturally peripheral: Madrid.
This CD tries to illustrate musically how, rather the opposite, Madrid, in the last third of the eighteenth century, became one of the most active capitals of the European string quartet scene. Around the Royal Court, the arts flourished, and while the now world renowned Francisco de Goya was chamber painter for the Royal Household – producing masterworks that have attained all the historic attention they deserve– a bunch of extremely talented, skilful and brilliant composers, such as Boccherini, Brunetti, Canales, Almeida and many others, actively and extensively composed a large catalogue of chamber music –specially string quartets– that unfortunately today, with no musical justification, has remained in oblivion or has been regarded with disdain. This new CD by the internationally acclaimed, Madrid-based Cuarteto Quiroga, performing with gut strings and historically informed criteria, presents an eloquent anthology of the string quartet production in Goya's Madrid –including two world first recordings– claiming its great musical value and its capital importance to fully comprehend the birth and expansion of one of the most important genres of our European cultural heritage.

Buying the Cow
Buying The Cow is a comedy about relationships. We meet a couple who have been dating for awhile. The woman is ready to settle down and marry but the young man is afraid to make a commitment. He keeps hearing the old clich_ repeat in his subconscious; "Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free?
Starring: Jerry O'Connell, Bridgette Wilson-Sampras, Ryan Reynolds
Director(s): Walt Becker
Producer(s): Buying The Cow Productions
Screenwriter(s): Walt Becker, Peter W. Nelson
Distributor: Destination Films
Animal Coordinator: Paws For Effect
Release Date: Saturday, June 08, 2002
There were several scenes of cows standing and grazing in a meadow. The meadow was surrounded by a fence and two trainers stood just off camera. The cameraman filmed the cows for several hours and an editor later cut the footage into the various scenes that were shown throughout the movie. A dog is shown licking chocolate from a bowl in one scene. Gravy was substituted for the chocolate and the dog couldn't get enough of it! In a later scene, a German Shepherd jumps out of a police car and chases a man down an alley and into a house. Through sound effects and editing, the viewer is led to believe that the dog runs into a door and ends up unconscious on the living room floor of the house; while the man escapes. The Shepherd is lying on the floor and a small dog is asleep on the lap of a woman seated on the sofa. The dog jumps off her lap and runs to the Shepherd and begins to hump it. The trainer doubled as the policeman and verbally cued the dog to exit the car and chase the man. The Shepherd is then verbally cued by the trainer to lay on his mark and stay. The trainer used hand signals to get the small dog to jump off the woman's lap and run to the sleeping Shepherd. A waist tie was put around the small dog's middle section and the trainer stood off camera and tugged ever so gently on the tie to simulate the humping motion. A fake Shepherd from the prop department was used for the close up scenes. As we watch a young man run through the woods, he is attacked by a squirrel. The trainer put the squirrel on a tree branch and held out food for it just off camera. The squirrel jumped off the branch to the trainer. A fake squirrel from the prop department was used for the remainder of the scene where the squirrel appears to be attached to the man's neck and is attacking him.


The following sections of this report for the Jock River-Barrhaven catchment are a compilation of that work.
Figure 15 demonstrates the buffer conditions of the left and right banks separately. The Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment had a buffer of greater than 30 meters along 52 percent of the right bank and 57 percent of the left bank. A five meter or less buffer was present along 29 percent of the right bank and 18 percent of the left bank.
Alterations within the riparian buffer area were assessed within three distinct shoreline zones (0-5m, 5-15m, 15-30m), and evaluated based on the dominant vegetative community and/or land cover type (Figure 16). The riparian buffer zone along the Jock River within the Barrhaven catchment was found to have highly variable conditions along the riparian corridor. These alterations were generally associated with road crossings, shoreline hardening and residential/infrastructure/agricultural land uses.
The RVCA's Stream Characterization Program identifies seven different land uses beside the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment (Figure 17). Surrounding land use is considered from the beginning to end of the survey section (100m) and up to 100m on each side of the river. Land use outside of this area is not considered for the surveys but is nonetheless part of the subwatershed and will influence the creek. Natural areas made up 65 percent of the stream, characterized by forest, scrubland and meadow. Forest habitat was dominant in the adjacent lands along the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment at 42 percent. The remaining land use consisted of active agriculture, residential, recreational and infrastructure in the form of road crossings.
Stream erosion is the process by which water erodes and transports sediments, resulting in dynamic flows and diverse habitat conditions. Excessive erosion can result in drastic environmental changes, as habitat conditions, water quality and aquatic life are all negatively affected. Bank stability was assessed as the overall extent of each section with "unstable" shoreline conditions. These conditions are defined by the presence of significant exposed soils/roots, minimal bank vegetation, severe undercutting, slumping or scour and potential failed erosion measures. High levels of erosion were observed along the left bank immediately upstream of the Hearts Desire weir as well as at various locations downstream of the 416 crossing. Figure 18 shows low to high levels of erosion along the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment.
Stream bank undercuts can provide excellent cover habitat for aquatic life, however excessive levels can be an indication of unstable shoreline conditions. Bank undercut was assessed as the overall extent of each surveyed section with overhanging bank cover present. Figure 19 shows that the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment had low to high levels of undercut banks along the system. High levels of undercut banks were present in the upper reaches of the Barrhaven catchment at various locations upstream and downstream of the 416 highway crossing.
Grasses, shrubs and trees all contribute towards shading a stream. Shade is important in moderating stream temperature, contributing to food supply and helping with nutrient reduction within a stream. Stream cover is assessed as the total coverage area in each section that is shaded by overhanging trees/grasses and tree canopy, at greater than 1m above the water surface. Figure 20 shows low to moderate levels of stream shading dominate conditions in most reaches of the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment.
Figure 21 shows that the majority of the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment had low to moderate levels of instream woody debris in the form of branches and trees. Instream woody debris is important for fish and benthic invertebrate habitat, by providing refuge and feeding areas.
Trees and branches that are less than one meter from the surface of the water are defined as overhanging. Overhanging branches and trees provide a food source, nutrients and shade which helps to moderate instream water temperatures. Figure 22 shows the system is highly variable with low to high levels of overhanging branches and trees along the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment.
Stream alterations are classified based on specific functional criteria associated with the flow conditions, the riparian buffer and potential human influences. Figure 23 shows 31 percent of the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment remains "unaltered" with no anthropogenic alterations. Fifty three percent of the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment was classified as natural with minor anthropogenic changes, 14 percent was classified as altered and one percent was considered highly altered. The alterations along the Jock River in this reach were in the form of reduced buffers, shoreline modifications and road crossings.
Freshwater benthic invertebrates are animals without backbones that live on the stream bottom and include crustaceans such as crayfish, molluscs and immature forms of aquatic insects. Benthos represent an extremely diverse group of aquatic animals and exhibit wide ranges of responses to stressors such as organic pollutants, sediments and toxicants, which allows scientists to use them as bioindicators. As part of the Ontario Benthic Biomonitoring Network (OBBN), the RVCA has been collecting benthic invertebrates at the Prince of Wales site on the Jock River since 2004. Monitoring data is analyzed for each sample site and the results are presented using the Family Biotic Index, Family Richness and percent Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera.
The Hilsenhoff Family Biotic Index (FBI) is an indicator of organic and nutrient pollution and provides an estimate of water quality conditions for each site using established pollution tolerance values for benthic invertebrates. FBI results for the Jock River Barrhaven catchment sample location at Prince of Wales are separated by reporting period 2004 to 2009 and 2010 to 2015. "Good" to "Poor" water quality conditions being observed at the Jock River Barrhaven sample location for the period from 2004 to 2015 (Fig.24) using a grading scheme developed by Conservation Authorities in Ontario for benthic invertebrates.
Family Richness measures the health of the community through its diversity and increases with increasing habitat diversity suitability and healthy water quality conditions. Family Richness is equivalent to the total number of benthic invertebrate families found within a sample. The Jock River Barrhaven site is reported to have "Fair" to "Good" family richness (Fig.25).
Ephemeroptera (Mayflies), Plecoptera (Stoneflies), and Trichoptera (Caddisflies) are species considered to be very sensitive to poor water quality conditions. High abundance of these organisms is generally an indication of good water quality conditions at a sample location. As a result, the EPT indicates that the Jock River Barrhaven sample location is reported to have "Fair" to "Good" water quality (Fig.26) from 2004 to 2015.
Overall the Jock River Barrhaven sample location aquatic habitat conditions from a benthic invertebrate perspective is considered "Good" from 2004 to 2015 as the samples are dominated by species that are moderately sensitive and sensitive to high organic pollution levels.
Habitat complexity is a measure of the overall diversity of habitat types and features within a stream. Streams with high habitat complexity support a greater variety of species niches, and therefore contribute to greater diversity. Factors such as substrate, flow conditions (pools, riffles) and cover material (vegetation, wood structure, etc) all provide crucial habitat to aquatic life. Habitat complexity is assessed based on the presence of boulder, cobble and gravel substrates, as well as the presence of instream woody material.
Diverse habitat cover was identified throughout the Jock River Barrhaven reach, with considerable coverage across the surveyed stream (Figure 27). Many of these sections represent potentially crucial habitat for resident species. Regions with reduced habitat complexity were observed in the middle reaches within the catchment.
Diverse substrate is important for fish and benthic invertebrate habitat because some species have specific substrate requirements and for example will only reproduce on certain types of substrate. The absence of diverse substrate types may limit the overall diversity of species within a stream. Figure 28 shows that 78 percent of the sections observed on the Jock River Barrhaven had the presence of clay substrate and 71% of the sections contained silt. Cobble was present within 70% of the sections, while boulders were present in 55% of surveyed sections. Overall substrate conditions were diverse along the Jock River Barrhaven reach. Figure 29 shows the dominant substrate type observed for each section surveyed along the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment.
Pools and riffles are important habitat features for aquatic life. Riffles are fast flowing areas characterized by agitation and overturn of the water surface. Riffles thereby play a crucial role in contributing to dissolved oxygen conditions and directly support spawning for some fish species. They are also areas that support high benthic invertebrate populations which are an important food source for many aquatic species. Pools are characterized by minimal flows, with relatively deep water and winter and summer refuge habitat for aquatic species. Runs are moderately shallow, with unagitated surfaces of water and areas where the thalweg (deepest part of the channel) is in the center of the channel. Figure 30 shows that the Jock River Barrhaven catchment is fairly diverse; 61 percent consists of runs, 18 percent riffles and 21 percent pools. Figure 31 shows where the riffle habitat areas were observed along the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment.
For example emergent plants along the shoreline can provide shoreline protection from wave action and important rearing habitat for species of waterfowl. Submerged plants provide habitat for fish to find shelter from predator fish while they feed. Floating plants such as water lilies shade the water and can keep temperatures cool while reducing algae growth. Narrow leaved emergents were present at 96% of the sections surveyed, algae was observed in 86% of sections, while free floating plants were observed in 67% of surveyed sections. Broad leaved emergents were observed in 58% of sections, submerged plants in 57%, floating plants in 53% and robust emergents in only 33% of sections surveyed. Figure 32 depicts the plant community structure for the Jock River Barrhaven catchment. Figure 33 shows the dominant vegetation type observed for each section surveyed along the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment.
Instream vegetation is an important factor for a healthy stream ecosystem. Vegetation helps to remove contaminants from the water, contributes oxygen to the stream, and provides habitat for fish and wildlife. Too much vegetation can also be detrimental. Figure 34 demonstrates that the Jock River Barrhaven reach had no vegetation to low levels of instream vegetation for 76 percent of its length. Clay and bedrock substrate conditions can limit the amount of instream vegetation which is the likely factor for low vegetation levels along this reach of the Jock River. Normal to common levels of vegetation were recorded at only 22 percent of stream surveys.
Invasive species can have major implications on streams and species diversity. Invasive species are one of the largest threats to ecosystems throughout Ontario and can out compete native species, having negative effects on local wildlife, fish and plant populations. Sixty nine percent of the sections surveyed along the Jock River Barrhaven reach had invasive species (Figure 35). The invasive species observed in the Jock River Barrhaven reach were European frogbit, purple loosestrife, poison/wild parsnip, carp, banded mystery snail, dog strangling vine, yellow iris, bull thistle, Eurasian milfoil and Manitoba maple. Invasive species abundance (i.e. the number of observed invasive species per section) was assessed to determine the potential range/vector of many of these species (Figure 36).
Dissolved oxygen is a measure of the amount of oxygen dissolved in water. The Canadian Environmental Quality Guidelines of the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) suggest that for the protection of aquatic life the lowest acceptable dissolved oxygen concentration should be 6 mg/L for warmwater biota and 9.5 mg/L for coldwater biota (CCME, 1999). Figure 37 shows that the dissolved oxygen in the Jock River Barrhaven catchment was within the threshold for warmwater biota in this reach of the system. The average dissolved oxygen levels observed within the main stem of the Jock River Barrhaven catchment was 8.67 mg/L.
Conductivity in streams is primarily influenced by the geology of the surrounding environment, but can vary drastically as a function of surface water runoff. Currently there are no CCME guideline standards for stream conductivity; however readings which are outside the normal range observed within the system are often an indication of unmitigated discharge and/or stormwater input. The average conductivity observed within the main stem of Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment was 662 µs/cm. Figure 38 shows the conductivity readings for the Jock River Barrhaven catchment.
Based on the PWQO for pH, a range of 6.5 to 8.5 should be maintained for the protection of aquatic life. Average pH values for the Jock River Barrhaven catchment averaged 7.94 thereby meeting the provincial standard (Figure 39).
>100% Saturation / >9.5 mg/L Concentration. Oxygen concentration and saturation levels are optimal for coldwater biota.
Dissolved oxygen conditions on the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment are generally sufficient for both warm and coldwater species (Figure 40).
Normal levels were maintained of the Jock River Barrhaven catchment, with moderately elevated levels observed in the lower reaches (Figure 41). Highly elevated conditions were identified in the lower reach of the system, and generally correspond with proximity to the Hearts Desire weir and storm water inputs.
Many factors can influence fluctuations in stream temperature, including springs, tributaries, precipitation runoff, discharge pipes and stream shading from riparian vegetation. Water temperature is used along with the maximum air temperature (using the Stoneman and Jones method) to classify a watercourse as either warm water, cool water or cold water. Figure 42 shows where the thermal sampling sites were located along the Jock River Barrhaven catchment. Analysis of the data collected indicates that the Jock River Barrhaven catchment is classified as a warm water system with cool to warm water reaches (Figure 43).
The Jock River Barrhaven catchment is classified as a mixed community of warm and cool water recreational and baitfish fishery with 36 species observed. Figure 45 shows the sampling locations along the Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment.
Migratory obstructions represent limitations to fish dispersal within a system and may restrict access to important spawning and rearing habitat. Migratory obstructions can be natural or manmade, and they can be permanent or seasonal. Figure 46 shows that Jock River in the Barrhaven catchment had two weir barriers at the time of the survey in 2015. One is the seasonal barrier known as the Hearts Desire weir and the other is a low level crossing upstream of Highway 416. A debris dam was observed on a headwater system within the catchment.
Figure 47 depicts the locations of various riparian restoration opportunities as a result of observations made during the stream surveys.
Figure 48 depicts the locations of instream restoration opportunities as a result of observations made during the stream surveys.
The RVCA Stream Characterization program assessed Headwater Drainage Features for the Jock River subwatershed in 2015. This protocol measures zero, first and second order headwater drainage features (HDF). It is a rapid assessment method characterizing the amount of water, sediment transport, and storage capacity within headwater drainage features (HDF). RVCA is working with other Conservation Authorities and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry to implement the protocol with the goal of providing standard datasets to support science development and monitoring of headwater drainage features. An HDF is a depression in the land that conveys surface flow. Additionally, this module provides a means of characterizing the connectivity, form and unique features associated with each HDF (OSAP Protocol, 2013). In 2015 the program sampled 5 sites at road crossings in the Jock River Barrhaven catchment area (Figure 49).
The headwater sampling protocol assesses the feature type in order to understand the function of each feature. The evaluation includes the following classifications: defined natural channel, channelized or constrained, multi-thread, no defined feature, tiled, wetland, swale, roadside ditch and pond outlet. By assessing the values associated with the headwater drainage features in the catchment area we can understand the ecosystem services that they provide to the watershed in the form of hydrology, sediment transport, and aquatic and terrestrial functions. Three features were classified as having been channelized, one feature was identified as a roadside drainage features and one feature was classified as natural. Figure 50 shows the feature type of the primary feature at the sampling locations.
The observed flow condition within headwater drainage features can be highly variable depending on timing relative to the spring freshet, recent rainfall, soil moisture, etc. Flow conditions are assessed in the spring and in the summer to determine if features are perennial and flow year round, if they are intermittent and dry up during the summer months or if they are ephemeral systems that do not flow regularly and generally respond to specific rainstorm events or snowmelt. Flow conditions in headwater systems can change from year to year depending on local precipitation patterns. Figure 51 shows the observed flow conditions at the sampling locations in the Jock River Barrhaven catchment in 2015.
Channel modifications were assessed at each headwater drainage feature sampling location. Modifications include channelization, dredging, hardening and realignments. The Jock River Barrhaven catchment area had one site classified as having no channel modifications, one feature was classified as being hardened and two had mixed modifications. Figure 52 shows the channel modifications observed at the sampling locations for Jock River Barrhaven.
Headwater feature vegetation evaluates the type of vegetation that is found within the drainage feature. The type of vegetated within the channel influences the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem values that the feature provides. For some types of headwater features the vegetation within the feature plays a very important role in flow and sediment movement and provides fish and wildlife habitat. The following classifications are evaluated no vegetation, lawn, wetland, meadow, scrubland and forest. The features assessed in the Jock River Barrhaven catchment were classified being dominated by wetland and meadow. Figure 53 depicts the dominant vegetation observed at the sampled headwater sites in the Jock River Barrhaven catchment.
Headwater riparian vegetation evaluates the type of vegetation that is found along the adjacent lands of a headwater drainage feature. The type of vegetation within the riparian corridor influences the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem values that the feature provides to the watershed. The sample locations in Jock River Barrhaven were dominated by natural vegetation in the form of meadow and wetland vegetation. Figure 54 depicts the type of riparian vegetation observed at the sampled headwater sites in the Jock River Barrhaven catchment.
Assessing the amount of recent sediment deposited in a channel provides an index of the degree to which the feature could be transporting sediment to downstream reaches (OSAP, 2013). Evidence of excessive sediment deposition might indicate the requirement to follow up with more detailed targeted assessments upstream of the site location to identify potential best management practices to be implemented. Conditions ranged from no deposition observed to extensive deposition recorded. Figure 55 depicts the degree of sediment deposition observed at the sampled headwater sites in the Jock River Barrhaven catchment.
Feature roughness will provide a measure of the amount of materials within the bankfull channel that could slow down the velocity of water flowing within the headwater feature (OSAP, 2013). Materials on the channel bottom that provide roughness include vegetation, woody debris and boulders/cobble substrates. Roughness can provide benefits in mitigating downstream erosion on the headwater drainage feature and the receiving watercourse by reducing velocities. Roughness also provides important habitat conditions to aquatic organisms. The sample locations in the Jock River Barrhaven catchment area ranged from moderate to extreme roughness conditions. Figure 56 shows the feature roughness conditions at the sampling locations in the Jock River Barrhaven catchment.
Land cover and any change in coverage that has occurred over a six-year period is summarized for the Jock River-Barrhaven catchment using spatially continuous vector data representing the catchment during the spring of 2008 and 2014. This dataset was developed by the RVCA through heads-up digitization of 20cm DRAPE ortho-imagery at a 1:4000 scale and details the surrounding landscape using 10 land cover classes.
As shown in Table 10 and Figure 1, the dominant land cover type across the Barrhaven catchment in 2014 was settlement, followed by crop and pastureland, transportation, aggregates and woodland.
From 2008 to 2014, there was an overall change of 446 hectares (from one land cover class to another). Most of the change in the Barrhaven catchment is a result of the conversion of crop and pastureland to settlement and transportation (Figure 57).
Table 11 provides a detailed breakdown of all land cover change that has taken place in the Barrhaven catchment between 2008 and 2014.
As shown in Table 12, the dominant land cover type in the Urban Area of the Barrhaven catchment in 2014 was settlement, followed by crop and pastureland, transportation and woodland.
From 2008 to 2014, there was an overall change of 398 hectares from one land cover class to another, the majority of which can be attributed to the conversion of crop and pasture to settlement along with areas previously subjected to pre-development, site preparation activity being converted to commercial and residential development. Table 13 provides a detailed breakdown of all land cover change that has taken place in the Urban Area of the Barrhaven catchment between 2008 and 2014.
As shown in Table 14, the dominant land cover type in the Rural Area of the Barrhaven catchment in 2014 was aggregate, followed by settlement, woodland, crop and pastureland and transportation.
From 2008 to 2014, there was an overall change of 48 hectares from one land cover class to another, the majority of which can be attributed to the conversion of crop and pasture to settlement. Table 15 provides a detailed breakdown of all land cover change that has taken place in the Rural Area of the Barrhaven catchment between 2008 and 2014.
In the Environment Canada Guideline (Third Edition) entitled "How Much Habitat Is Enough?" the opening narrative under the Forest Habitat Guidelines section states that prior to European settlement, forest was the predominant habitat in the Mixedwood Plains ecozone. The remnants of this once vast forest now exist in a fragmented state in many areas (including the Rideau Valley watershed) with woodland patches of various sizes distributed across the settled landscape along with higher levels of forest cover associated with features such as the Frontenac Axis (within the on-Shield areas of the Rideau Lakes and Tay River subwatersheds). The forest legacy, in terms of the many types of wildlife species found, overall species richness, ecological functions provided and ecosystem complexity is still evident in the patches and regional forest matrices (found in the Jock Rideau subwatershed and elsewhere in the Rideau Valley watershed). These ecological features are in addition to other influences which forests have on water quality and stream hydrology including reducing soil erosion, producing oxygen, storing carbon along with many other ecological services that are essential not only for wildlife but for human well-being.
As shown in Figure 58, eleven percent of the Barrhaven catchment contains 344 hectares of upland forest versus the 26 percent of woodland cover in the Jock River subwatershed. This is less than the 30 percent of forest cover that is identified as the minimum threshold required to sustain forest birds according to the Guideline and which may only support less than one half of potential species richness and marginally healthy aquatic systems. When forest cover drops below 30 percent, forest birds tend to disappear as breeders across the landscape.
In the Barrhaven catchment (in 2014), forty-five (46 percent) of the 97 woodland patches are very small, being less than one hectare in size. Another 47 (49 percent) of the woodland patches ranging from one to less than 20 hectares in size tend to be dominated by edge-tolerant bird species. The remaining five (five percent of) woodland patches range between 20 and 100 hectares in size and may support a few area-sensitive species along with some edge intolerant species, but will be dominated by edge tolerant species.
No patch exceeds the 100 plus hectare size needed to support most forest dependent, area sensitive birds and which are large enough to support approximately 60 percent of edge-intolerant species. No patch tops 200 hectares, which according to the Environment Canada Guideline will support 80 percent of edge-intolerant forest bird species (including most area sensitive species) that prefer interior forest habitat conditions.
Table 16 presents a comparison of woodland patch size in 2008 and 2014 along with any changes that have occurred over that time. A decrease (of 27 ha) has been observed in the overall woodland patch area between the two reporting periods with most change occurring in the 1 to 20 and 20 to 50 hectare woodland patch size class ranges.
In the Barrhaven catchment (in 2014), the 97 woodland patches contain 11 forest interior patches (Figure 58) that occupy less than one percent (22 ha.) of the catchment land area (which is less than the three percent of interior forest in the Jock River Subwatershed). This is below the ten percent figure referred to in the Environment Canada Guideline that is considered to be the minimum threshold for supporting edge intolerant bird species and other forest dwelling species in the landscape.
All 11 patches have less than 10 hectares of interior forest, four of which have small areas of interior forest habitat less than one hectare in size. Between 2008 and 2014, there was an overall loss of one hectare of interior forest habitat in the catchment (Table 17).
Using the same dataset, it is estimated that pre-settlement (historic) wetland cover averaged 51 percent in the Jock River subwatershed versus the 24 percent of cover existing in 2014 (as summarized in Table 18).
This decline in wetland cover is also evident in the Barrhaven catchment (as seen in Figure 59) where wetland was reported to cover 45 percent of the area prior to settlement, as compared to less than one percent in 2014. This represents a 99 percent loss of historic wetland cover and what remains (in 2014) falls far below the 40 percent historic wetland threshold cited in the Environment Canada Guideline for maintaining key ecological and hydrological functions. To maintain critical hydrological, ecological functions along with related recreational and economic benefits provided by these wetland habitats in the catchment, the Guideline recommends a "no net loss" approach for currently existing wetlands combined with efforts to work towards restoring upwards of 40 percent of the historic wetland coverage, where feasible.
Figure 60 shows the extent of the 'Natural' vegetated riparian zone (predominantly wetland/woodland features) and 'Other' anthropogenic cover (crop/pastureland, roads/railways, settlements) along a 30-metre-wide area of land, both sides of the shoreline of the Jock River and its tributaries in the Barrhaven catchment.
This analysis shows that the riparian zone in the Barrhaven catchment in 2014 was comprised of crop and pastureland (36 percent), settlement (29 percent), woodland (20 percent), transportation (11 percent), aggregate (three percent) and wetland (one percent). Additional statistics for the Barrhaven catchment are presented in Table 19. Of particular interest is the observed increase in the area of "Settlement" and decrease in "Crop and Pastureland" along the shoreline of the Jock River and tributaries over a six year period.
The RVCA and its partners are working to protect and enhance environmental conditions in the Jock River Subwatershed. Figure 61 shows the location of all stewardship projects completed in the Jock River-Barrhaven catchment along with sites identified for potential shoreline restoration.
From 2010 to 2015, two septic system replacements were constructed. Between 2004 and 2009, two septic system replacements, two livestock fencing projects, one well upgrade and one well decommissioning were finished and prior to 2004, five septic system replacements and three livestock fencing projects were completed, Four of these projects were completed within the 30 metre riparian zone of the Jock River. Total value of all 16 projects is $156,866 with $28,227 of that amount funded through grant dollars from the RVCA.
The location of RVCA tree planting projects is shown in Figure 61. From 2010 to 2015, 300 trees were planted at one site and prior to 2004, 9,800 trees were planted at three sites. In total, 10,100 trees were planted resulting in the reforestation of six hectares. One of these projects was completed within the 30 metre riparian zone of the Jock River. No trees were planted in the catchment between 2004 and 2009. Total project value of all four projects is $50,135 with $23,421 of that amount coming from fundraising sources.
With the assistance of the RVCA's Shoreline Naturalization Program, 475 trees and shrubs were planted to create an overall six metre long shoreline buffer at a total project value of $14,234.
Fish habitat compensation was required for the Barrhaven South development as a number of tributary watercourses were eliminated or modified to allow for development. A bypass pond was constructed off the main stem of the Jock River in 2008 to provide spawning and nursery habitat for northern pike and muskellunge in the spring and nursery and refugia habitat in the summer and fall. Under normal high water mark conditions, it provides approximately 9,000 meters square of habitat along with several small finger channels that extend from the larger pond to provide spawning habitat for northern pike. Post effectiveness monitoring work in 2010 revealed that thirteen species of fish were utilizing the habitat for spawning, nursery, rearing and feeding purposes, including northern pike. Subsequent fish sampling in 2015 confirmed that several species of fish continue to utilize the restored habitat within the pond feature.
The Barrhaven catchment covers 31 square kilometres with 4.8 square kilometres (or 16 percent) of the drainage area being within the regulation limit of Ontario Regulation 174/06 (Figure 62), giving protection to wetland areas and river or stream valleys that are affected by flooding and erosion hazards.
Wetlands occupy 14.5 hectares (or less than one percent) of the catchment. Of these wetlands, 12.5 hectares (or 86 percent) are designated as provincially significant and included within the RVCA regulation limit. This leaves the remaining two hectares (or 14 percent) of wetlands in the catchment outside the regulated area limit.
Of the 50.3 kilometres of stream in the catchment, regulation limit mapping has been plotted along 22.1 kilometers of streams (representing 44 percent of all streams in the catchment). Some of these regulated watercourses (0.5 km or 1.0 percent of all streams) flow through regulated wetlands; the remaining 21.6 km (or 98 percent) of regulated streams are located outside of those wetlands. Plotting of the regulation limit on the remaining 28.2 km (or 56 percent) of streams requires identification of flood and erosion hazards and valley systems.
Within those areas of the Barrhaven catchment subject to the RVCA regulation (limit), efforts (have been made and) continue through RVCA planning and regulations input and review to manage the impact of development (and other land management practices) in areas where "natural hazards" are associated with rivers, streams, valley lands and wetlands. Additionally, in the rapidly urbanizing areas of the Barrhaven catchment, significant effort is made through land use planning and development control processes and carefully planned stormwater management systems, initially guided by master drainage planning and integrated subwatershed planning, to meet the natural heritage and natural hazards policies presented in the City of Ottawa Official Plan. Also, within areas beyond the regulation limit, protection of the catchment's watercourses is provided through the "alteration to waterways" provision of the regulation.
The Jock River-Barrhaven drainage catchment is considered to have a Highly Vulnerable Aquifer. This means that the nature of the overburden (thin soils, fractured bedrock) does not provide a high level of protection for the underlying groundwater making the aquifer more vulnerable to contaminants released on the surface. The Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Plan includes policies that focus on the protection of groundwater region-wide due to the fact that most of the region, which encompasses the Mississippi and Rideau watersheds, is considered Highly Vulnerable Aquifer.
Farmers can take advantage of a wide range of projects, including livestock fencing, manure storage, tile drainage control structures, cover crops, and many more.

Dementia Friendly Brent 2020 "
Welcome to Community Action Dementia – Brent.
We are a community group of volunteers working with residents, businesses, faith communities, sports organisations, statutory services and people living with dementia to create a dementia friendly borough. We have had a number of conversations to define exactly what a dementia friendly borough looks like and we continue to talk to each other until we get this right. Alongside this we will support people who have ideas on how to achieve our vision.
These maybe ideas for a dementia friendly local street, a Ward or indeed across the borough. It may be focused on people living with dementia or could be about e.g. creating greater awareness of dementia amongst people in Brent. There will be many ideas and actions which we welcome and will work together to put these into action. This website is organic and continuously evolving and so we welcome your ideas, information and the suggestions you have to make it successful and interactive.
In January 2018 we signed up with the Dementia Action Alliance and we call ourselves Community Action on Dementia Brent Alliance This is a useful place for all of us to join up and individually and collectively contribute to our vision of a dementia friendly Brent.

Year-end local housing numbers fell below early forecasts, and factors that stymied home sales in 2014 likely will be in play through 2015 as well.
Analysis firm Home Builders Research tallied 6,007 new-home closings across the Las Vegas Valley in 2014, about 1,000 units below most industry projections a year ago. The sales total was also off by 1,296 sales, or 17.8 percent, compared with 2013.
Home Builders Research President and CEO Dennis Smith blamed the sales slide on delays in processing final maps of new communities in Clark County's jurisdiction.
Also, demand should stay solid through 2015, and the Federal Reserve likely won't raise interest rates by much through year's end, Smith added.
The median price of a new home in December was $291,785, a drop of $6,816, or 2.2 percent, compared with December 2013. Delayed project permitting makes it tough to forecast where prices will go in 2015, Smith said, but because land prices have risen in recent quarters, expect home prices to tick up as well, perhaps by as much as $25,000.
Builders pulled 6,623 new-home permits in 2014, down 343 permits, or 4.9 percent, when measured against 2013. That should improve to as many as 7,250 permits in the year ahead.
As weak as 2014 seemed on its surface, it could have been worse: Smith said many builders don't feel that 2014 was as bad as it looks on paper when compared to 2013, which was an especially strong year. Compared to 2012, which saw the market hit lows early on before it began recovering strongly late in the year, 2014's new-home closings were still up by 463 units, or 8.4 percent.
Guild Mortgage has a new operations center to handle loans in the Southwest United States, including the Las Vegas market.
The 16-employee center, located at 5390 Kietzke Lane in Reno, will process, underwrite and fund home loans coming from the San Diego-based company's Green Valley, Las Vegas, Reno and Lake Tahoe branches.
Guild's Nevada branches closed in 2014 on 2,542 loans totaling $502.7 million — a company record for the state.
Kevin Green, a mortgage veteran with more than 20 years of experience in the Reno area, will serve as the center's operations manager.
The Southern Nevada Home Builders Association has scheduled two big events for its membership.
The trade group will hold its Builder Breakfast networking meeting from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Feb. 18 inside The Orleans Hotel Conference Center at 4500 W. Tropicana Ave. Geoff Gorman of Touchstone Living, Larry Simon of Pardee Homes and Frank Wyatt of Pinnacle Homes will talk about their companies' plans for development and share near-term market projections.
The association also has scheduled its Spring Builders Golf Classic for May 15 at the Paiute Golf Resort in the northwest Las Vegas Valley. The association will kick off player registration in February.
Architect Edward Vance of EV&A Architects will host a "Sketching Architecture" workshop Feb. 5 in collaboration with the UNLV School of Architecture, UNLV Galleries and the Marjorie Barrick Museum. The event, which is free and open to the public, will give guests an opportunity to watch Vance perform a sketching demonstration and participate in a question-and-answer session.
The workshop begins at 5:30 p.m. inside the Marjorie Barrick Museum at 4505 S. Maryland Parkway.
Vance is a featured architect in a museum exhibit called "Reflecting and Projecting: Twenty Years of Design Excellence." The exhibit, on display until Feb. 28, focuses on projects that won the American Institute of Architects' Nevada Excellence in Design Award from 1994 to 2014.


Or do they?. The traditional tatted snowflake has a total of 6 points or a multiple of 6 points. This tradition is based upon the fact the physical crystalline structure of snowflakes is based on 6 points. All snowflakes have 6 points. This has been the tatting standard for decades. Right?
Of course that is right.
I am now in my 70th year and my almost 39th year of tatting, I have just discovered that what I thought was true is not necessarily so.
Science now says that in a rare circumstance, if the temperature is -2 C or 28 F, a snowflake can be formed in a triangular shape. 3 points perfect.
So does this mean that we must now allow the 5 point star to be called a "snowflake?"
Is this wrong? Is this heresy? No, not at all.
We may continue to design and tat all the 6 point snowflakes we want. And if we forget a point, why we can adopt it as a 5 point "starflake."
And we can make 12 point or 18 points flakes, too. And dress it up even more with double and quadruple picots to add more points to them.
Plus we can add more design elements to the centers. As Roger did in his 6 point snowflake with needle weaving tatted in one pass.
And vintage patterns may be altered to create new snowflakes. As was done with this Silk Tatting Lesson Book 12-point motif by Katie Verna.
So, now that it settled, there is another controversy to consider.
All snowflakes are white, right? Oh, my that isn't so either. Just in the last few weeks, tatters have risen up in protest against the bland, ordinary but oh so traditional white snowflake. There is even a new group whose cover photo proclaims their opinion.
So what is the "point" of these comments and trivia? No matter the color thread. No matter the shape. And, with however many points you want, please tat on.
Square Motif - Daniela Mendola Daniela Mendola shares another motif just right for the beginning tatter. A square motif.

Q: How can I print a list by user input? If I have several lists, for example:
A=[1,2,3]
B=[1,4,6]
C=[11,4,100]
x=input("which list do you want to print?")
print(x)

If I should choose A, I want the result to be: 1,2,3
but what I have instead just shows "A".
How do I solve this?

A: Given that you say this is your first day programming, this answer will unfortunately not adequately explain things to you, but you can look up what is used below.  There are many good Python books, but I do not have a specific one to recommend for someone just beginning.  (I am guessing that you are using Python based on your syntax and functions.)
A = [1, 2, 3]
B = [1, 4, 6]
C = [11, 4, 100]
x = input("which list do you want to print?")
print("You chose: " + x)
choices = {"A": A, "B": B, "C": C}
print(choices.get(x, "unknown choice!"))

The curly-brace syntax for the "choices" variable is called a dict, which is short for dictionary.

Explanation: Can this blinking star tell us how fast the universe is expanding? Many astronomers also believe it may also tell us the age of the universe! The photographed "Cepheid variable" star in M100 brightens and dims over the course of days as its atmosphere expands and contracts. A longer blinking cycle means an intrinsically brighter star. Cepheids variable stars are therefore used as distance indicators. By noting exactly how long the blinking period is and exactly how bright the star appears to be, one can tell the distance to the star and hence the star's parent galaxy. This distance can then be used to match-up easily measured recessional velocity ("redshift") with distance. Once this "Hubble relation" is determined for M100, it should be the same for all galaxies - and hence tell us how fast the universe is expanding. The exact magnitude of this calibration is under dispute and so a real live debate involving the value of Hubble's constant titled "The Scale of the Universe" will occur in April 1996 in Washington, DC.


'Climate action is unstoppable because it makes business sense', said the UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed during the opening session of the SD Talks Special Series on Climate Action which took place on 3 May 2017. It was the first in a series of webinars on climate action. The webinars in this series aim to advance knowledge and further dialogue around Climate Action, in the lead up to and beyond COP23, which took place in November 2017 in Bonn, Germany.
Titled Paris Agreement and the SDGs: One Agenda for a Sustainable Future, this first webinar featured Amina Mohammed, UN Deputy Secretary-General and Nick Nuttall, Spokesperson for UN Climate Change. The discussion was moderated by Simona Costanzo-Sow of the UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development. The webinar, which received over 500 registrations from more than 100 countries within a matter of hours, discussed the importance of approaching efforts to achieve the sustainable development goals and the targets of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change in an integrated manner. It emphasized that although the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement were negotiated separately, they are all implemented together at country level. 'Climate action and sustainable development are two sides of the same coin. At the country level, these things happen together', said Ms. Mohammed. Read the full article here.

Full text of the Paris Agreement and other related information can be found here.
The Paris Climate Change Agreement set the goals, and now countries must translate them into action. The Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) set out what each country plans to do as part of the Paris Agreement to contribute to the international effort to secure a sustainable future for all. This webinar explained how NDCs open up a new universe of economic and cooperation opportunities to realize the mitigation and adaptation plans and increase climate resilience.
Between 6-17 November, thousands of government delegates and leaders from all sectors of society gathered in Bonn (Germany) for the 2017 UN Climate Change Conference. Under the Presidency of Fiji, UN Climate Change with the support of Germany hosted this annual meeting with one clear objective: making progress for a successful, inclusive and ambitious implementation of the Paris Agreement. This included negotiations on the implementation guidelines—or operating manual—for transparent climate action under the Paris Agreement, as well as showcasing cooperative climate action, including on vulnerability and resilience, from around the globe. This webinar explained the milestones and key challenges that lay ahead of COP23.
Non-Party Stakeholders are essential in the global effort to realise the goals of the Paris Climate Change Agreement. Wide-ranging cross-sectoral partnerships will be fundamental for nations to fulfil their objectives. In November 2017, the UN Climate Change Conference (COP23), showcased a wide array of the thousands of leading examples of game-changing climate actions from the private sector, cities, and other sub-national governments across the world but more commitments and urgent actions are needed. This webinar highlighted the great momentum for more ambition and cooperation from all parts of society.
During COP23, the people behind some of the 2017 Momentum for Change Lighthouse Activities demonstrated how they are creating positive impact in the lives of people, communities and on the planet´s health, through innovative approaches. The Momentum for Change initiative is spearheaded by UN Climate Change to shine a light on some of the most innovative, scalable and replicable examples of what people are doing to address climate change. This webinar featured Laura Stachel, who presented 'We Care Solar', Trevor Bell, presenting 'SmartICE', and Giulia Kathleen Houston, presenting 'From Waste to Wow'.
This webinar featured Patricia Espinosa, Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change, who discussed the key outcomes of COP23, including with respect to the negotiations and the implementation of the Paris Agreement. The webinar also highlighted the measures undertaken by non-party stakeholders and underlined the next steps following COP23.

"Last in but, First Out" Really! Yes really! Zero sense!!! This was a reaction of many lawyers and asylums seekers when on January 30th, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the agency responsible for overseeing the nation's legal immigration system announced that it will schedule asylum interviews for recent applications ahead of older filings, in an attempt to stem the growth of the agency's asylum backlog. Immigrant advocates agree that the asylum backlogs harm those seeking protection from persecution or violence abroad but said the Trump administration's decision would push those people into an even longer wait.
"Asylum seekers already waiting in the backlog will be severely disadvantaged – and even be sent wrongfully back to violent life-threatening conditions – because their cases will be further delayed and they will have even more difficulty getting witnesses and evidence to support their claims," said Greg Chen, director of government relations at the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
USCIS will now prioritize applications pending 21 days or less and to address this problem, USCIS will follow these priorities when scheduling affirmative asylum interviews. However, while the USCIS Director L. Francis Cessna says: "Delays in the timely processing of asylum applications are detrimental to legitimate asylum seekers"; In New York City, Human Rights First warned that changes announced by USCIS to process asylum applications in reverse order—with the newest claims processed first—will impose additional burdens and suffering on legitimate asylum seekers who have already waited years for their asylum interviews. This change will impose even more suffering on the many refugees who have already been waiting in some cases up to four years for their asylum interviews.
Even if the Immigration agency is trying to review newest asylum cases first in bid to deter fraud but, this will hurt many asylum seekers who have been waiting for interview.

Robert Pattinson Reacts to Kristen Stewart's SNL Stint, Donald Trump's Obsession With Their Past Romance
CP Current Page: Entertainment | Thursday, March 23, 2017
By Vianne Ilagan, Christian Post Contributor | Thursday, March 23, 2017
"Twilight" star Robert Pattinson recently spoke with German website WeltN24 about his reaction after watching the "Saturday Night Live" episode where ex-girlfriend and "Twilight" co-star Kristen Stewart made fun of their past relationship and U.S. President Donald Trump's obsession with their romance.

Pattinson and Stewart started dating after filming the "Twilight" saga. While they did not acknowledge their relationship publicly at first, the two eventually confirmed their relationship and even revealed that they were already living together. However, things took a sudden turn when photos of Stewart kissing "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders surfaced.
After the scandal broke, Trump showed an apparent interest in Pattinson and Stewart's love life. Back in 2012, he posted on his Twitter account, "Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again—just watch. He can do much better!"
During her recent stint on "SNL," Stewart started her monologue telling the audience that she was a little nervous hosting because she knew the president was probably watching.
"I don't think he likes me that much. Here's how I know. Four years ago I was dating this guy named Rob. Robert. We broke up and then we got back together, and for some reason it made Donald Trump go insane," she comically said, adding that the president tweeted about her 11 times before and even called her a dog.
After Stewart openly talked about her previous relationship with Pattinson, fans were excited to know what her ex-flame had to say about the "SNL" episode.
According to a source, Pattinson saw snippets of Stewart's "SNL" gig and found it very hilarious. The source added that Pattinson was surprised but happy to see his ex-girlfriend being at ease with herself, talking comfortably about their past relationship and even joking about Trump's tweets from years ago.
