"Helena's knowledge and compassion for her clients is what makes her such a great immigration attorney. She made the process of obtaining a green card a lot less tedious than it had been with a larger law office, where my case sometimes was handled by several lawyers who did not always seem to be in control of the details.
With Helena and her colleagues, all of our needs were met, including some very complex requests from the USCIS that required immediate turnaround. I would recommend anybody dealing with immigration matters to work with Younossi Law. Younossi Law lived up to its reputation."

Does anyone know where or who made the Lee Wool jacket material like in a Storm Rider?
Levis jackets actually had Troy Mills tags sewn into the lining, I don't think the Lee versions ever had the Troy tag, but I'm pretty sure the fabric was still made at Troy.
Great blog about it! Thanks!
Troy is still in operation, although it seems very lean, but is still actively producing horse blanket in striped patterns, among many other cloth types that they have the capability to manufacture.
All I could find was some vague allusion to vinyl production.

#STRecruiting Notebook 8-28
By Phil Kornblut / August 28, 2020 August 28, 2020 / Recruiting / Leave a Comment
Jager Burton
Clemson target OG Jager Burton (6-4 270) of Lexington, KY has set his commitment announcement for Sunday. Clemson, Oregon, Alabama, Ohio State and Kentucky are the finalists. Burton is close friends with and a former teammate of Clemson freshman offensive lineman Walker Parks, so that connection has been important from the Tigers's recruiting standpoint. "I would say the fact that Walker is going there helps," Burton said earlier this year. "I talk to Walker about it a lot and I also talk to Ryan Linthicum and Cade Denhoff (2021 commitments.) You are going to get to play for a national championship at Clemson. Clemson is exactly how it's portrayed. A lot of people think that with Coach Swinney it's a fake persona, but it's all real. They're all extremely nice people. They're one of the few schools that want you to make the best decision for you, and if it's not them, they completely understand and still rooting for you. So that's cool for coaches to be understanding about that." Home state Kentucky, however, has looked strong for keeping Burton at home. He's rated a four-star prospect in the 247Sports Composite and ranked the #8 offensive guard nationally and the #1 prospect in Kentucky.
Clemson offered 2022 CB Toriano Pride (5-10 170) of St. Louis. In the 247Sports Composite, Pride is rated a 4-star and ranked the #27 corner in the country and the #6 prospect in Missouri.
Clemson offered 2022 RB 5-star Emmanuel Henderson of Hartford, AL. He's rated the #1 running back prospect in the class in the 247Sports Composite. He also has an offer from USC and most of the other Power 5 programs nationally. Last season he rushed for 1996 yards and 32 touchdowns. He also had 23 catches for 342 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Clemson 2022 QB target Braden Davis, who is from Delaware but is playing this season in Florida, was offered by Stanford.
Lakewood SAF James Wright committed to Kansas. He previously was committed to East Carolina.
Chapman LB Camden Gray decommitted from Navy.

Veggie Tater Casserole Recipe from Flo's V8 Café in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park
Vegetarians rejoice! This delicious spin on the classic shepherd's pie is one of our Disneyland Resort test kitchen favorites for the menu at Flo's V8 Café in Cars Land – and now you won't have to wait until the grand opening on June 15 to try it.
Made with veggie crumbles instead of ground beef and topped with a mound of mashed potatoes and gooey melted cheese on top, we think even our carnivorous pals will love this satisfying dish.
Chef Sean Layne shows how easy it is to create this one-dish wonder. If you can't find bulgur wheat, you can substitute whole-wheat couscous. And you'll find the veggie crumbles in the supermarket produce aisle.
Veggie Tater Casserole
3/4 cup bulgur wheat
1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 2 small cloves)
2/3 cup diced zucchini
2/3 cup diced yellow squash
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
2 1/2 cups vegetarian sausage crumbles, such as Morningstar Farms
Coarse salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cups prepared mashed potatoes
6 deli-style slices cheddar or 3/4 cup shredded cheddar
Place bulgur in a large, heatproof bowl; cover with boiling water. Set aside for 15 minutes; drain excess water and set bulgur aside.
Heat oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan; add onions and cook until translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high and add zucchini, squash, and peppers. Cook, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in sausage crumbles and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes more.
Add bulgur to pan, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour mixture into a 9×9 baking dish, packing firmly with a spatula.
Spread mashed potatoes over mixture, then top with cheddar.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and light brown at the edges. Let cool 3 to 4 minutes, then cut into squares and serve hot.

Loren on March 8, 2012 at 4:32 pm
It's great to see more vegetarian friendly options. This looks delicious.
Juanita on March 8, 2012 at 7:22 pm
I just made this for dinner! It was GREAT! I used seasoned ground beef (instead of the veggie sausage) and couscous (instead of the bulgur wheat). Everyone had seconds. I can't wait to try the real thing at Flo's!!

NOTE: A short AGM will be held at 7:30pm before the speaker begins.
It's that time of year—when we most need an injection of colour to remind us that spring is really just a couple of months away. This month, our fix is coming from long time Hort member Valerie Knapp. Valerie grew up in Muskoka where she inherited her mother's avid interest in gardening through practise. As children, she and her siblings had the chore of weeding their mother's rock garden before running down for a swim in the lake. In Toronto, both her garden and her art have been featured in the Hort's Garden Tours. Therein lies the nexus of this month's presentation: the intersection of art and gardens.
Valerie is a mixed-media and textile artist with an impressive body of work that, thanks to the internet, has caught the eye of people worldwide. Her series, Boxed Embroidery, was recently featured in the Australian magazine, Homespun. Valerie's creative works have often included garden and plant-related themes and material. Don't miss an opportunity to look at the many ways plants have inspired her at her website at http://www.valerieknapp.com.
Now most artists produce work to share with others and this is exactly the sentiment that drove her to consider putting together this month's presentation: to share the images of the many beautiful, unusual, inspirational, breathtaking and voluptuous sights she and her husband were witness to on a recent trip to France.
From the proliferation of roses in every nook and cranny in the town of Chedigny to the allée of majestic sycamore trees at the Château de Chenonceau and the overflowing kitchen gardens in the extensive parterres at Château de Villandry, the descriptions alone of the images that Valerie will share with us warmed me on a recent blistery winter day! To see them and listen to her presentation will be a midwinter virtual journey (that we might one day wish to make ourselves) that will not only transport us to warmer days, but will also inspire creativity in our own gardens. Among some of the changes she's made in her own garden is the use of vegetables in what was simply a decorative border, like the curly kale she saw throughout a town square on her trip.
This month's presentation is not to be missed. Valerie has brought her extensive photographic experience and artist's eye to bear on a gardening travelogue through the Loire valley. What could be more enticing on a cold January evening?


Briskly whisk the 2 Tablespoons of Cup of Matcha's Matcha powder into ½ cup of hot water. Add sweetener of choice and stir until completely incorporated.Set aside until cool.
NOTE:This is equally delicious made into Popsicles, just fill a mold with the slushy mixture and freeze.

Big name rapper features Northampton golf course in music video
The single has already been viewed more than 600,000 times on YouTube
Delapre Golf Course
World-renowned rapper Slowthai has included clips of one of Northampton's lesser-known landmarks in his latest video - Delapre Golf Course.
The former Northampton College student and recent receiver of a Grammy nomination, included clips of various places in the town in the video for NHS.
But it's shots of the course that appear most often - with serene views of the green actually being the opening shot.
The video has been viewed more than 600,000 times in just over a week on YouTube.
The rapper, whose real name is Tyrone Frampton, also included The Garibaldi and Flore House, a hotel in Northampton town centre and a 17th century countryside guest house near Weedon Bec.
You can see the video below but, be warned, it includes swearing so it's not for the easily offended.
This isn't the first time that Frampton has shown love to his hometown.
Some of his previous songs, which have amassed millions of streams on YouTube as well as Spotify and Apple Music, feature the town's sights in his visuals.
In the video for his 2019 hit Gorgeous, which currently has 2.3 million views on YouTube, he performed to an empty PTS Academy Stadium in a Cobblers jersey, a team he has supported since childhood.
Slowthai also takes artistic inspiration from his upbringing in the town regularly, rapping "Roll 'round my ends screaming North Nights (double N, double N!)" on the 2018 song North Nights, referencing the NN postcode.
The rapper looks to start next year with a bang, announcing his second album 'TYRON' for release in February 2021.

Both the Russell 2000 and S&P 600 indices hit all-time highs last week as investors continued to jump on the small-cap bandwagon. Can anything stop small-cap stocks from moving higher over the remainder of 2018?
A recession would halt them in their tracks, but barring the unthinkable, you might want to consider selling some of your large-cap holdings for small-cap stocks or exchange-traded funds because they're hotter than a pistol. More importantly, they're an important component for diversifying your equity portfolio.
Which ones should you own? Well, you can look at one of the indexes and pick a few of the stocks, but that's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
The second option is to buy an ETF like the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSEARCA:IWM) or the iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (NYSEARCA:IJR). However, because this is an article about small-cap stocks, why not go with seven companies that market-beating portfolio manager Jim Callinan likes?
Don't worry, I'll pick them for you.
I recently called Zillow Group Inc (NASDAQ:ZG) one of the seven best platform stocks to buy. It's up almost 10% in the two months since but not without a whole bunch of volatility.
While I'd hardly call the real estate platform a small-cap stock at a market cap of $7.5 billion but it certainly is still growing like one.
I first wrote about Zillow in August 2012 about a year after it went public. At the time I suggested that Trulia's IPO, which Zillow now owns, wouldn't do nearly as well.
I liked Zillow because it was profitable and Trulia wasn't. It was that simple.
Although its stock has doubled over the past five years, the best may be yet to come according to Canaccord analyst Maria Ripps.
"We envision a future when Zillow evolves into more of a commerce platform, progressing from its current role as a media property and moving gradually closer to enabling direct transactions," Ripps wrote in a recent note to clients.
Rather than just connecting buyer and seller, why not handle the entire transaction? That's a game changer.
If you travel by plane you're likely aware of Boingo Wireless Inc (NASDAQ:WIFI), the company behind free wi-fi in many airports in the U.S.
While that's where it got its start it's now the largest operator of indoor wireless networks in America providing wi-fi small cell networks to military bases, stadiums, universities, etc.
How does Boingo make money?
In terms of profitability and sales, Boingo's adjusted EBITDA margins have doubled since 2014 and its revenues doubled over the past seven years.
Interestingly, advertising now accounts for 27% of its overall revenue up from just 5% in 2011. As a business it's revenue streams are far more diversified and balanced then they were seven years ago.
The real potential lies in retail where malls are doing everything they can to attract customers including providing free wi-fi. As malls become more experiential, I can see Boingo's business taking off from this area alone.
The fitness industry is a terribly fickle business. It's bad enough that you have to rely on the inner strength of your customers to keep the revenue flowing, but it's also highly competitive which makes it difficult to stand out in a crowded marketplace.
Planet Fitness Inc (NYSE:PLNT) makes money from three areas: franchising fees, revenues fro, corporate-owned locations, and the sale of fitness equipment to its franchisees.
In the first quarter, its 1,497 franchised locations generated 45% and 77% of the company's overall revenue and EBITDA. Each of its three operating segments experienced double-digit revenue and EBITDA growth year over year.
When it announced Q1 2018 earnings in early May its stock dropped around 4% on lower than expected guidance for the rest of the fiscal year. It projects 20% revenue growth; analysts are expecting 22%.
Over the past 12 months, Planet Fitness has opened 194 franchised locations as well as 10 company-owned stores. With only 68 company-owned stores, consider them more of a training ground for franchisees as well as a platform for testing new products and ideas.
In the first quarter, its franchisees delivered same-store sales growth of 11.4%. Whenever you've got double-digit comps you're doing something right.
Free cash flow positive, I'd head to a location near you to find out more.
If it's good enough for Warren Buffett, it's good enough for me. No, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK.A,NYSE:BRK.B) doesn't own Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVCO), but it does own Clayton Homes, a builder of modular homes, manufactured homes, tiny homes and other types of housing.
Cavco is one of Clayton Homes' competitors. It builds a similar group of products through a number of different brands. In fiscal 2018, Cavco's revenues and net income grew by 12.6% and 61.8% respectively to $871.2 million and $61.5 million.
Like a lot of businesses who generate all of their income in the U.S., Cavco will benefit from the lower corporate tax rate. In Q4 2018, which ended March 31, the company's effective tax rate was was 600 basis points lower at 27.9%. Look for that to continue to drop in fiscal 2019.
In its Q4 2018 press release, CEO Joseph Stegmayer was optimistic about the company's growth in the coming year.
The best businesses save people time and money. Considering a home purchase is the biggest purchase most people make in their lives, providing a cheaper alternative will always be attractive to consumers.
Is it just me or does the weight-loss company seem to have been around forever? I can remember all the negative stories surrounding Medifast Inc (NYSE:MED) back in 2009 that suggested it was a pyramid scheme.
You what they say about your reputation? It's easier to get a bad reputation than it is to lose one.
Medifast once traded as high as $260 back in the early 1990s. Then it traded below $10 for the better part of a decade until taking off in 2009; it's up 7,056% in the eight years since.
Given all the excitement over Oprah's involvement with Weight Watchers International, Inc. (NYSE:WTW), a stock I recommended at $36 last August, I'd say Medifast's worth a look.
Of all the small-cap stocks on my list, PRA Group Inc (NASDAQ:PRAA) would have to be my dark horse pick of the bunch.
It's not that I don't think the buyer of nonperforming loans provides a legitimate service for banks and other institutions hoping to recover funds lent to delinquent parties, it's just that it reminds me of a boiler room operation where low-paid employees are dialing for dollars.
With the changes to FCC rules regarding telemarketing practices, it seems like a near-impossible task to collect on delinquent accounts but I guess that's why the business exists in the first place.
At the end of Q2 2018, PRA Group had $5.8 billion still to collect with about 55% of that in the U.S. and the remainder in Europe and the rest of the Americas.
PRAA stock is down significantly since hitting all-time highs in 2015 on lower earnings. It continues to acquire large portfolios of nonperforming loans while adding more staff so that it can start turning more of its collections into profits.
Only aggressive investors should consider this stock.
I'm an animal lover who's seen first hand (my wife and I have five rescue cats) how lucrative the pet industry is whether we are talking vet costs, pet food, pet sitting, grooming, etc.
It's massive catching the attention of entrepreneurs and big businesses alike. Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB) wouldn't have dished out $8 billion if it didn't think there was big money to be made in the pet industry.
PetIQ Inc (NASDAQ:PETQ) unlike some of the businesses on this list is truly a small-cap stock. In fact, with a market cap of less than $500 million, I think it's fair to call it a micro-cap stock.
No matter. PetIQ is growing its business and that's what's truly important. It makes products that run the gamut from flea and tick treatments to specialty dog and cat treats.
However, it's the January 2018 acquisition of VIP Petcare for $220 million — a leading provider of veterinary services within pet retailers across the country — that is going to send its stock higher.
The acquisition of VIP closes the circle bringing the end-user customer closer to the company providing a much better understanding of their needs and wishes.
Although it's a cliche, this is a game changer.

Lost in translation: A check-up with a Burmese refugee
Posted on December 9, 2008 by comm3660
by BRADY LEAVITT
Reporter's note: Journalists traditionally remove themselves from the narrative of their articles to create an authoritative, objective tone in their writing. As I see it, the goal of the reporter is to become the invisible lens through which the reader, listener or viewer gets the truth. However, as I did the reporting for this story I unwittingly became an active participant in the day's events. It was irresistible. To remove myself from the story would be to be to withhold the truth from the reader. So, in the interest of objectivity, this story is about me.
Zuli is a Burmese hill tribe refugee. As of November 2008, he had been in the United States for one year and two months. He has no last name. His medical records separate the second syllable from the first to form the required first-name, last-name construction: Zu Li.
For Zuli, everything is difficult. His wife is sick. He cannot find work. His shoulder aches all the time. As a Muslim living in Salt Lake City, he finds it hard to find Halaal meals, foods consistent with Islamic dietary code. Above all else, Zuli has a single, suffocating problem that envelops every part of his life — he speaks no English.
On Nov. 18, I accompanied Peter Robson, a translator from the Asian Association of Utah, to take Zuli to a routine doctor's appointment to have his shoulder checked.
As climbed into his car, Robson, 23, explained he would be translating the medical staff's questions from English to Thai. We were driving to pick up his partner, Kamar, who would translate from Thai to a mixture of Burmese and Karen, two of the languages Zuli speaks. The process would then repeat in reverse to convey Zuli's responses to the nurses and doctors.
Kamar, 19, also a Burmese refugee, learned to speak Thai while growing up in refugee camps near the Thailand-Myanmar border. He has been in the U.S. for a little more than one year. Utah-born Robson, a native English speaker, learned to speak Thai while serving a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That is where Robson and I first met, and where I also learned to speak Thai.
"Do you ever worry that when you translate something…?" I started to ask.
"Yes," he replied without hesitation. "Always"
I asked Robson how he knows when the chain of translation has broken down.
"By the answer they give," Robson said. "I mean, you ask them the last time they threw up and they answer 'No' — you know something got lost."
Kamar, Robson said, was very excited that I was coming. When we saw Kamar, Robson commented on how "dressed up" he was, saying that Kamar normally wears ragged jeans and T-shirts. That day he wore khaki slacks, a green dress shirt and faded red, white and blue flip-flops.
"Why aren't you listening to music," he asked Robson in Thai from the back seat of the car.
"Because I'm enduring an interview," Robson responded, now speaking in Thai and motioning to me.
Kamar pulled out a knockoff mp3 player and informed me that he and Robson only listen to Burmese hip-hop in the car.
"What do you think of America," I asked in Thai as we drove.
Kamar looked slightly annoyed. "I don't think," he said. "I'm listening to music."
Zuli lives in a one-bedroom apartment in Rose Park with his wife, Poriba, and his five or six grandchildren. I say "five or six" because nobody, including Zuli, could give me a sure answer of how many people live there. He is either 55 or 59 years old, depending on whether one trusts his medical records or Zuli.
A pile of shoes lined the small entryway of the apartment. A moist, sour smell blanketed the apartment as we walked in. A collection of cardboard sheets ripped from packing boxes lined the wall, the names and phone numbers written on them. The names were written in Burmese making it impossible to tell to whom they belonged, but Zuli quickly asked me for my number which he added to the collection. The only other real decorations were the Islamic wall calendars, unidentifiable stains on the carpet and family pictures printed on inexpensive copy -paper and stuck to the wall with masking tape.
We sat cross-legged on the floor just next to a full-length sofa. Zuli began speaking in a dizzying blend of backwoods Thai and Burmese. He was animated and cheerful as he spoke. Peter listened to him and nodded.
Zuli said something to me, and flashed a tobacco-stained smile in my direction. I stared, hoping that whatever he said would eventually trickle into the part of my brain that could make sense of it. It never got that far. I smiled, nodded and tried to slink out of the conversation as fast as I could. They chatted for another few minutes before I heard something I did understand.
"Pete, you're Christian, aren't you?" Zuli asked.
Robson said he was.
"Christianity and Islam are really similar, you know," Zuli said. "I say it, EE-bra-him, you say it Abraham." He rattled off a few more Old Testament names. "They're practically the same. The only difference is how we say it."
I slowly began making sense of Zuli's accent as the conversation continued.
Robson began asking Zuli questions about the day's events. Zuli responded in garbled Thai half of the time and the rest of the time in a language that lies somewhere along the Thai-Burmese spectrum. Kamar filled the conversation's gaps. Zuli told Robson that he thought he had an ulcer. He wanted medicine for that in addition to getting his shoulder checkup.
I was understanding about 25 percent of the proceedings when the volume of the conversation grew. Zuli was visibly amused that Robson had forgotten a detail from a previous appointment. Zuli erupted into belly-shaking laughter and pointed at Robson.
"I liked it better when we weren't friends and he didn't yell at me," Robson said quietly to me with a smile.
We left for the clinic.
I had intended to spend as much time in the background as possible, to avoid interrupting the flow of activities. It was, I found, more and more impossible as we got closer to the doctor's office.
In the car, Robson told Zuli I am engaged.
"You've got a woman?" Zuli cried in an excited spray of spit. "If you get married, I'm coming for sure, and I'll bring you something." He trailed off and gestured with his hands to show me just how large the intended gift would be.
A storm of confusion ensued upon our arrival at the University Healthcare Redwood Health Center in Salt Lake City. The translation system was about to be stretched to the limit.
A woman sitting with a nervous-looking Asian man was in the waiting room, which was full of people who spoke at least half a dozen languages. She jumped up to ask if we were the translators. The woman, an LDS service missionary, told us she had scheduled an appointment for her client but the hospital did not have anyone they could even call who speaks his language, Karen. The woman pleaded for our help after Zuli's appointment as we were whisked into the exam room.
In the exam room, Zuli's demeanor changed. He had been laughing and smiling and speaking almost non-stop, but now he was now silent and stared blankly at the wall, making eye contact with no one. A medical assistant came in and asked Zuli how tall he was.
"Zuli, how tall are you?" Robson translated.
Kamar translated the question into Burmese. Zuli spoke.
"Eight," Kamar said, in Thai.
"What? What do you mean eight? He said eight," Robson said in Thai and English.
In a flurry of further translation, and after standing Zuli back to back with Kamar, it was determined that Zuli is 5 feet 2 inches tall. The assistant did not seem too worried about actually measuring Zuli and entered his height into the computer.
"How is your shoulder," the assistant asked.
Another 45-second volley of translation passed and Zuli again said, "Eight."
It then became clear that Zuli was referring to a picture chart that medical staff uses to help patients rate the level of pain they are feeling. A rating of one is on the 10-point chart is associated with no pain and has a corresponding smiley face. An eight corresponds to a face with furrowed eyebrows and squinting eyes, the level of pain Zuli was feeling.
"Oh! I get it," Kamar said. "See, I thought you were asking 'how tall does it hurt' a minute ago."
The nurse laughed. I laughed. Robson laughed. Zuli did not. The medical assistant left and the room fell silent.
"Pete. Pete, help me, OK? Help me get this ulcer taken care of," Zuli said quietly. Robson nodded and looked down at the floor.
The doctor came in and began to ask Zuli questions via the translation team. He said he was amazed at how efficient they were when compared to some he has worked with. The doctor checked Zuli's shoulder and recommended an injection. Robson mentioned Zuli wanted medicine for an ulcer. The doctor said he would schedule a colonoscopy.
Robson stopped and looked at me. "How do you say colonoscopy in Thai?"
I thought about it and came up with the rough translation — a combination of words: check, look at and butt. We looked at Kamar who stared blankly at us.
"Oh wait. Yeah, I think my dad had one of those," he said. He fired a stream of Burmese at Zuli who did not respond.
Robson then mentioned to the doctor that the Primary Care Network, a low-budget insurance plan provided by the Utah Department of Health for jobless refugees, covered Zuli.
The doctor stopped smiling and began typing furiously at his computer.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing else I can do, then," he said. "That's the worst insurance on the planet. It doesn't cover anything."
The doctor had been planning to refer Zuli to an orthopedic surgeon to inject medicine into his shoulder and to have Zuli return for colonoscopy. Because of the insurance, all he could recommend was to have Robson help Zuli file an appeal to the local insurance representative to have the treatments covered, he said. Kamar was still explaining the treatment plan to Zuli who said, "Look, I don't know what's wrong with me. All I know is that I hurt. And I don't want it to hurt anymore."
The doctor said if the appeal was denied, the best he could do was to schedule an appointment to have the injection done by a non-specialist doctor at the clinic. He asked whether Robson would accompany Zuli at that time or if it would be some other, "clueless translator." Robson asked the doctor several more questions about Zuli's options, to which the doctor replied he did not know.
At that moment that I became suddenly disenchanted with the whole process. The translation had been fun and somewhat exciting, if cumbersome, but now I felt as though Robson was the only one who understood Zuli's needs and no one seemed able to tell him what to do.
We took Zuli to the pharmacy to buy the Tylenol the doctor recommended and some medicine for his wife. We passed the LDS service missionary who was still waiting with her client for a non-existent translator. A friend of Kamar happened to walk by at that moment and offered to help translate.
Robson decided to stop by the Asian Association to report to Zuli's caseworker. This was Robson's first time to meet the person primarily responsible for Zuli's needs, but was his tenth time to help Zuli. Even the caseworker had difficulty giving Robson clear direction of how to help Zuli further.
Before we headed home, I decided to seal my lack of objectivity and journalistic disinterest by inviting Zuli, Kamar and Robson to lunch. We ate at an Indian restaurant called Curry in a Hurry, which, Zuli was delighted to find out, serves Halaal food.
Back at the apartment, Robson began explaining to Zuli how to take the medicine. Zuli wrote the directions on the bottles in Burmese. I noticed six or seven other orange bottles that held medicine similar to what we had just picked up. Robson asked Zuli to throw them away.
We were about to leave when Zuli insisted he wanted to give me something. He went into the back room and returned with a plain white T-shirt. He presented it to me as a token of his thanks. He could not remember my name so he called me "my son" and restated his intention to get me something "really good" for my wedding. We left.
Robson told me he would be paid only for the time he spent translating, excluding transportation time, or about three of the six hours that he had spent helping Zuli that day. But he gets more than money out the deal, he said.
"There's something compelling about the refugee, something charismatic about spending time with them," Robson said quietly as we drove, listening to a mix of Thai patriotic music played by a squeaky brass band. "It helps me keep things in perspective – if school or my social life isn't going how I want, it helps me realize how outrageously well-off I am."
He summarized the day by saying, "It's pretty healthy, I think, to hang with these people."

Kevin Bacon: Six Degrees of Consistent Acting Success
by Roger Friedman - August 5, 2011 6:25 am
Kevin Bacon, Gerard Butler and Leonardo DiCaprio were among the stars who helped the embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association hand out their annual charitable donations yesterday in Beverly Hills.
The HFPA is currently battling two lawsuits–one from their former publicist and another one with Dick Clark Productions and NBC. But that didn't stop them giving away a portion of their $8 million NBC license fee to good causes. Our Leah Sydney was there (cocktails only) before the HFPA installed a new slate of officers (including an 80 year old president who has served before). Then they presented $1.5 million to a variety of arts groups.
Leah caught up with one of our favorite actors, Kevin Bacon, who was joined by a mix of movie and TV people that also included Lea Michele from "Glee" and Mark Wahlberg, Elisabeth Moss, Jessica Chastain, Hugh Dancy, Taylor Lautner, Elizabeth Olsen, Jim Sturgess, Shohreh Aghdashloo, and Gabriel Macht. There was no sign of Ricky Gervais, or mention of his return as host of the next Golden Globes TV show.
But back to Kevin: "I just did a picture with Billy Bob Thornton directing — he's in it –called "Jayne Mansfield's Car." We shot it in Atlanta, it's a great script that kind of just poured out of Billy's heart. It's funny , touching and most of all outrageous. It takes place in 1969 and I'm the ne'er-do well hippie son."
Next up for Kevin is: "'RIPD'. I play the bad guy opposite Ryan Reynolds Jeff Bridges. It's an action comedy with monsters."
Bacon can currently be seen in "Friends with Benefits," supporting Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. (Bacon should be starring in films, for god's sake.) Anyway, as I've said before, the Screen Actors Guild should honor him with their Lifetime Achievement Award this year for over 25 years of outstanding performances. Bacon is the real deal. There are only a few guys in his age group–Matthew Modine, included–who've excelled with consistency whether in lead or supporting roles.

Bill to improve village safety not enough says Alaska tribal judge
APRN
Posted: Thursday, April 3, 2014 at 14:28
The U.S. Senate Indian Affairs Committee today looked at a raft of bills aimed at improving the safety of Native American communities, including Alaska Native villages.
A bill that would strengthen Alaska tribal courts and tribal law enforcement drew no opposition at the hearing, but the bill is likely to become more controversial.
Natasha Singh, General Counsel for Tanana Chiefs Conference and also a tribal judge in Stevens Village, told an anecdote to illustrate the problem. Last summer, she was in a village when an intoxicated man tried to sexually assault a 13-year-old girl. Village leaders called the State Troopers but were told they couldn't respond. Singh says this is at least the third such attempt by the same man.
"Now this man is currently still in the village. He regularly drinks, and the community, the women and children, have little protection from this individual," Singh testified. "Do not allow this man to continue to terrorize his tribe."
Alaska Safe Villages and Families Act
A bill sponsored by Alaska Senators Mark Begich and Lisa Murkowski aims to improve the delivery of justice in villages. It would repeal the exclusion of most of Alaska from a law called the Violence Against Women Act. The bill, the Alaska Safe Villages and Families Act, also encourages the state of Alaska to sign agreements with the tribes to enforce state law and deal with drug and alcohol offenses.
Singh says that doesn't require federal law, because it's essentially pre-trial diversion, or the state delegating it's authority to the tribes. TCC and the state are working on agreements to do that already. She says the bill should go further and provide federal recognition of the tribe's authority to deal, on its own, with local domestic violence and sexual assault as well as drug and alcohol offenses, even when the accused is not part of the tribe.
"What I'd like to tell you today is that if a woman in a village is the subject of domestic violence, the local tribal court must be assured that it may take lawful, immediate action against the abuser, regardless of tribal membership," she said.
Tribal law project
A TCC proposal, endorsed by other Native groups, calls for adding an Alaska "tribal law project" to the bill to recognize that kind of authority. Singh says the tribes would have civil jurisdiction only, unless the state agrees to more. And that's highly unlikely, at least while Sean Parnell is governor. The head of the governor's Washington D.C. office, Kip Knudson, declined to be interviewed for this story, but said Parnell's response was reflected in a 2011 letter detailing the state's response to a similar bill. In it, then-Attorney General John Burns suggested the bill was aimed at advancing tribal sovereignty rather than improving law enforcement. He also objected to what he said would be the dividing of Alaska into multiple jurisdictions.
At the hearing, Sen. Mark Begich told Singh he was open to adding the tribal law project to the bill.
"You need some assistance from the federal government so you can create some additional tools in the tool box for justice within your own communities," he said.
In a letter to Parnell last week, Begich said the public safety problem in Alaska is so severe it warrants an "all of the above" approach. Such an approach, though, might cost him a co-sponsor. Sen. Murkowski said at the hearing she wants to pursue funding and training for Alaska's tribal courts. Her spokesman Matt Felling says Murkowski has opposed previous proposals to extend Alaska tribal jurisdiction over non-members of the tribe.

Sharing the rents brings social justice – solution to the Auckland housing crisis
Posted on May 22, 2014 by Deirdre
During Parliament's question time there are always a lot of questions about house affordability, especially in Auckland. The National government's solution to rising house prices is just "release more land". And the Prime Minister usually replies that home affordability was worse when Labour was in government because that included the period leading up to the Global Financial Crisis. Stalemate. Election year biffo. They then go on to questions about poverty, especially child poverty. In New Zealand, ever since Helen Clark introduced an income support scheme called Working for Families anti-poverty groups have rightly pointed out that as it only goes to families in work, children of beneficiaries are the ones that miss out and that is unfair.
Sadly nobody in Parliament ever raises the issue that when "land owners" monopolise land without paying a full rent to the public for the privilege, the rental they should have paid just capitalises into the market value of their homes. Rent is thus privately captured not publicly captured. That capital gain doesn't belong to them. The very meaning of "freehold" land is land without rent. When settlers came to New Zealand from England in the late 1800s what they wanted was to stand on a piece of land and know that a landlord couldn't push them off. But the English colonists brought with them their very entrenched legal system of land ownership and imposed on the Maori a strange concept they called "ownership of land". It was the land tenure system together with the English banking system which was at the very heart of the colonisation process.
Leaving aside the banking system for the moment, let's concentrate on the land tenure system. When land is held in common, land tenure is about rights to use land. What the settlers really wanted was security of tenure and they wrongly equated this with a freehold land ownership arrangement. Indigenous people share the rights to use the land with others in their iwi or tribe or in their hapu or subtribe through a complicated system different in each iwi or hapu. Colonisation changed the land tenure system and introduced commercial banks.
We are coming up to a general election and the Labour Party, Mana and the Internet Party are all showing concern to engage and enrol the one million non-voters from last election. The Internet Party rightly makes it easy to join a party and participate, through their clever use of smartphone apps and discussion websites.
But what better way to engage young disaffected voters than to share the land rents? Wouldn't they be delighted it a political party said it was going to charge a full land rental and share it with them by giving them a Citizens Dividend from time to time?
Let's have a look at the home values in central Auckland suburbs for a start. Parnell, Mission Bay, Mt Eden, Epsom, Herne Bay, Ponsonby and Grey Lynn houses have risen in value by probably an annual rate of exceeding 10% over the last year. In some cases it is 14%, but let's take the lower value. An article the other day in the Weekend Herald showed a three bedroom home in Grey Lynn for sale at $895,000 and the subsequent text showed it had probably risen at least $103,000 in the last year. What land tax did that owner pay? Rates contain land tax but actually everyone pays on their capital value these days. (by legislation when the supercity was formed, no choice these days like we used to have). So if every home in the inner suburbs has a capital value rise of say an average of $100,000, just think of that accumulated rental which has been privately captured in the inner Auckland suburbs. This rental rightly belongs to the public because it is government both central and local that has paid for the infrastructure, the hospitals, schools and parks and it is the public which has provided the inner city shops and businesses and activities. Suppose there are 100,000 homes in those inner suburbs each rising by $100,000 in a year. That is a capital gain of $10,000,000,000. Yes it is $10 billion which rightly belongs to the public and we haven't even tried to calculate the rising value of the CBD and Parnell and Newmarket and Ponsonby shops and offices. This total will be far higher.
Dividing this three-way between central and local government and the 4.4m citizens of New Zealand is the next challenge. But for electoral purposes it would make very good sense to give out a citizens dividend straight away. Let's, for instance, use $4.4 billion of the $10 billion. That is $1000 per citizen. When dependents get it, the money is taken by the designated carer, usually a woman. So a woman with three children would get $4000 a year from this dividend. Nice one. A young solo mother in Northland or Hastings or Greymouth. Since she is on a benefit she doesn't get Working for Families. She spends it on the basics of food. The next dividend would bring more. When land rents are shared everyone gains. Labour spokesperson on Welfare Jacinda Ardern would not have to think up anything more complicated than this to right the wrong of children in poverty. It would answer the "Feed the Children" plea of The Mana Party.
I have discovered Fred Harrison's site http://www.sharetherents.org/ where his videos tell a great many stories about the value of sharing the land rent. Fred Harrison is a long time campaigner for sharing land rents.
Labour and the Greens both go into the election advocating a Capital Gains Tax on property that isn't the family home. Unfortunately the Greens have chosen a 15% Capital Gains Tax. That means when a house is sold (and only then) the Government gets a small fraction of the total rent. The property "owner" gets to keep the 85% that rightly belongs to the public. Well I guess it is a start, but honestly it is an extremely timid policy when you see the whole logic of sharing the rents.
Nobody in this whole debate has raised the issue of how many vacant sections there are in Auckland. If speculators are sitting on sections and not paying much (the council even slashes their rates) then naturally they will continue to speculate. A Capital Gains Tax will only delay the sale even further. You must make people pay for the privilege of "owning" land, or monopolising it. If speculators had to pay a full land rental rather than reduced rates, that would spur them into action. Either they would build or they would sell.

Erykah Badu Receives Backlash Over Hitler And Bill Cosby Comments
Elijah C. Watson Elijah Watson serves as Okayplayer's News & Culture Editor. When…
Source: NBC
UPDATE: Johnathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, has called out Erykah Badu for a remark she made in a new interview where she said she "saw something good in Hitler."
Erykah Badu, I read your interview in @Vulture, and I have a few thoughts. First, you are ignoring the plain facts about Farrakhan: It is well-known that he is a virulent anti-Semite & racist. Don't believe me? Click here: https://t.co/eCSotMeiiT pic.twitter.com/Fm4jepTTcp
— Jonathan Greenblatt (@JGreenblattADL) January 24, 2018
"I also like to think that there is good in all people, but Hitler is pure evil," Greenblatt tweeted. "I don't care if he painted or was a vegetarian; Hitler is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews & a war that claimed the lives of tens of millions. Shame on you for downplaying that."
"You are a role model to many, and as such, you should immediately apologize for these irresponsible and misguided comments," Greenblatt concluded.
Read the original story below.
When it comes to Erykah Badu we often associate positivity with the Baduizm songstress. However, That positivity ultimately resulted in some comments being said in a new interview that some people have found problematic.
Speaking with Vulture, one of the questions asked to Badu is who she is currently listening to, to which she says D.R.A.M., Lil Uzi Vert, and XXXTentacion, the latter of whom is under house and arrest and faces up to 30 years in prison for charges including aggravated battery of a pregnant woman.
When asked about XXX's allegations, Badu replies: "I would never suggest that I have the popular opinion on this. Because I don't."
Then, when asked about the allegations other entertainers such as Bill Cosby and Louis C.K. are facing and being able to separate the art from the artist, the singer first makes a comparison to a story from the Bible, before elaborating further.
"I don't want to get scared into not thinking for myself. I weigh everything. Even what you just asked me, I would have to really think about it and know the facts in each of those situations before I made a judgment. Because I love Bill Cosby, and I love what he's done for the world. But if he's sick, why would I be angry with him? The people who got hurt, I feel so bad for them. I want them to feel better, too. But sick people do evil things; hurt people hurt people…I'm not trying to rebel against what everybody's saying, but maybe I want to measure it… The rush to get mad doesn't make sense to me."
From there, the conversation then speaks on both Badu and the author's own ideas of morality and empathy, with Badu saying she sees "good in everybody," including someone like Hitler.
"Come again?" the author says, with Badu responding: "Yeah, I did. Hitler was a wonderful painter."
The remarks on Cosby and Hitler, but primarily Hitler, caused some backlash on Twitter.

Elsewhere in the interview, Badu speaks on Donald Trump, as well as making new original music. You can read those quotes below and read the interview in its entirety here.
Erykah Badu on Donald Trump:
"The thing about Trump is that he's a bad guy to the point where it looks manufactured. Are we playing games here? He can't really be that bad. I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all—I don't give a shit about that stuff—but it looks like Trump's just trying to spark division. It looks like a game. Why are we being toyed with?"
Erykah Badu on working on new music:
"I went to South Africa and recorded drums from Soweto, from Johannesburg, just gathering sounds. That's what I'm interested in right now — sound vibration. If I put out another project, it'll be like that. Maybe I'm humming or primal wailing or tribal moaning. You know, I haven't written anything in five years."
