Western Media portrays Hong Kong hooligans as heroes
Why are protestors waving US flags?
Whenever Hong Kong protesters are destroying public property, there are no cameras of Western media outlets in sight. But when police decide to intervene, protecting their city, Western media crusaders emerge in full force.
On Sunday, huge US flags were waving in the air. A massive demonstration, consisting of mainly young people, was moving up from the old British-built downtown area of the city towards the US Consulate General, often erroneously called the "embassy."
The temperature was well over 30 degrees Celsius, but the number of 'protesters' kept growing. Many of the main arteries in Hong Kong were entirely blocked.
Western media were there in full force, wearing yellow fluorescent vests, their 'Press' insignia, helmets and masks. They mingled with the crowd, filming US flags, clearly enjoying the show.
"President Trump, Please Liberate Hong Kong," I read on several posters.
"Liberate from whom?" I asked a cluster of protesters, all of them in ninja outfits, metal bars in their hands, black scarves covering their faces.
Several of them replied, mumbling something incomprehensible. One girl shouted defiantly:
"From Beijing!"
"But Hong Kong is China, isn't it?" I asked. "How could it be liberated from itself?"
"No! Hong Kong is Hong Kong!" came a ready-made reply.
Nearby, I spotted British Union Jack, with old colonial-era Hong Kong coat of arms.
The big demonstration was clearly treasonous. Its members delivered a petition to the US consulate general, demanding that the US Congress pass legislation that would require its government to monitor and decide whether Hong Kong is 'autonomous enough' from the PRC, and whether it should then qualify for US trade and economic benefits.
All over the downtown area, hundreds of 'ninjas' were shouting pro-Western slogans. Here British-era HK flags were being waved, alongside the US flags.
I approached a young couple among the protesters, who were resting on a bench:
"Do your friends realize how brutal, undemocratic and oppressive was British rule? Do they know in what misery many Hong Kong citizens had to live in that era? And about censorship, humiliation…?"
"No!" They shouted at me, outraged. "It is all propaganda!"
"Whose propaganda?" I wondered.
"The propaganda of Beijing!"
At least they spoke some English. A bizarre thing about Hong Kong is that, while some people here would like to (or are perhaps paid to say that they'd want to?) have the British colonial administration back, a great majority of the people hardly speak any English now, while also refusing to speak Mandarin. Little wonder that Hong Kong is quickly losing its edge to the pro-Chinese and highly cosmopolitan Singapore!
But the demonstration was not where 'the action' really was and I knew it, intuitively.
The flag-waving march was a big staged event for the Western mass media. There, 'pro-democracy' slogans were chanted in an orderly manner. Nothing was burned, vandalized or dismantled wherever Western press cameras were present!
A few blocks away, however, I witnessed monstrous vandalizing, of one of the entrances to the Central subway (MTR) station. Hooligans who call themselves 'protesters' were ruining public property, a transportation system used by millions of citizens every day.
While they were at it, they also dismantled public metal railings that separate sidewalks from roadways. Metal bars from this railing were later utilized for further attacks against the city infrastructure, as well as against the police.
Umbrellas in the hands of 'protesters' were covering the crime scene. Umbrellas similar to those used in 2014, during the previous, so-called 'Umbrella Uprising.'
No foreign reporters were in sight! This was not for the world. This was raw, real, and brutal.
"Don't film!" covered mouths began shouting at me.
I kept filming and photographing. I was not wearing any press jacket or helmet or Press insignia. I never do, anywhere in the world.
They left me alone; too busy destroying the street. As they were dismantling public property, their backpacks, stuffed with portable players, were regurgitating the US national anthem.
My friend from Beijing wrote me a brief message:
"They are selling their own nation and people. We have very bad words for them in Chinese."
But it is not only mainland China that is disgusted with what is happening in Hong Kong. Three major Hong Kong-based newspapers, Wen Wei Po, Ta Kung Pao and Hong Kong Commercial Daily, are all pro-Beijing, pro-police and are defining 'protesters' as "rioters" or "troublemakers" (in Chinese).
Among the big ones, only Ming Pao and Apple Daily, which are traditionally anti-Beijing, are defining 'protesters' as 'gatherers', 'protesters' and "liberators."
Local citizens are mainly (as they'd been during the 2014 riots) hostile to the 'protests' but are scared to confront the mainly young, covered and armed (with metal bars and clubs) gangs. Some tried to, even in a luxury mall in the center of the city, and were brutally beaten.
'Protesters' seem to be on adrenalin, and in a highly militant mood. They gather and move in hordes.
Most of them refuse to speak.
What is important to understand is that, while the rioters are trying to spread the message that they are 'fighting for democracy,' they are actually highly intolerant to all those who disagree with their goals. In fact, they are violently attacking those with different opinions.
Furthermore, and this I have to spell out, after covering protests in literally hundreds of cities worldwide, from Beirut to Lima, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, Paris, Cairo, Bangkok and Jakarta: what is happening in Hong Kong is extremely mild when it comes to police responses! Hong Kong police run well and fast. It created human chains, flashed a lot of light and sporadically used tear gas. It defends itself when attacked. But violence?
If you compare police actions here to those in Paris, it is all politeness and softness. Hardly any rubber bullets. Tear gas is 'honest' and not mixed with deadly chemicals, like it is in many other places, and administered in small doses. No water cannon spitting liquid full of urine and excrement, as in many other cities of the world. Trust me: I am an expert in tear gas. In Istanbul, during the Gezi Park uprising, protesters had to use gas masks, so did I. Otherwise you'd faint or end up in a hospital. People are also fainting in Paris. No one is fainting here; this is mild stuff.
As for the 'other side,' the level of violence from the protesters is extreme. They are paralyzing the city, ruining millions of lives. The number of foreign arrivals in Hong Kong is down 40 percent. Reception at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which is right next to Sunday's battles, told me that most of the rooms are now empty, and during the 'events', the hotel is cut off from the world.
And what about their traitorous demands? Would this be accepted anywhere in the world? Flying flags of a foreign country (in this case, of the USA) and demanding intervention?
Hong Kong "pro-democracy activist leaders" like Joshua Wong are clearly colluding with Western interests and governments. He and others are spreading, constantly, what anywhere else would be described as fake news. For instance, "My town is the new Cold War's Berlin," he recently declared. Yes, perhaps, but not because of the HK government, but because of his own actions and the actions of people like himself.
Coverage of events by Western mass media is clearly selective and that is putting it mildly. Actually, many media outlets from Europe and North America are 'adding fuel to the fire.' They are encouraging rioters while exaggerating the actions of local police. I am monitoring and filming their work and what I see is outrageous!
I am writing this report in Tai Kwun Center. Now world-famous art complex (of the "new, Chinese Hong Kong"), this used to be the Central Police Station under the British occupation, as well as so-called Victoria Prison Compound.
Mr. Edmond, who works for the center, explains:
"If there was a referendum now, the so-called protesters would not win. They would lose. This is an internal issue of China, and it should be treated as such. A continuation of the 2014 events. What changed this time is that the protesters are opting for extreme violence now. People of Hong Kong are scared; scared of them, not of the authorities."
Here, prisoners were confined and executed, during British rule. Not far away from here, monstrous slums were housing deprived subjects of the queen. After the Brits left, those slums were converted to public parks.
Life in Hong Kong improved. Not as fast as in neighboring Shenzhen or Guangzhou, but it improved. The reason Hong Kong is being 'left behind' is because of its antiquated British-era laws, rules and regulations, its extreme capitalist system; because of "too little of Beijing", not "because of too much of it."
These hooligans are going against the interests of their own people, and their own people are now cursing them. Not loudly, yet, as rioters have clubs and metal bars, but cursing.
Western media chooses not to hear these curses. But China knows. It hears. I hear Hong Kong people, too.
Chinese curses are terrifying, powerful. And they do not dissolve in thin air.

The lengths an addict will travel to achieve a desired high is tantamount to someone dying of thirst searching for water - as far as it takes. There is just about nothing an addict will not try if they believe that it will make them intoxicated, even poisons will be consumed if there is even the slightest chance that it will make people high. Drug abusers around the country have been turning up in emergency rooms in large numbers because of snorting and ingesting fake bath salts, fake fertilizer or fake insect repellent. On Wednesday, Mark Ryan, head of the Louisiana Poison Center said, "at least 84 people around Louisiana have been hospitalized because of paranoia, fighting, hallucinations, suicidal thoughts and physical effects such as hypertension and rapid heartbeat — most for a day or two but at least three of them for weeks".
There is talk on the Internet that leads people to believe that snorting bath salts is like doing cocaine or methamphetamine, only legal. Unfortunately, what people are experiencing, even seasoned addicts, is a lot more intense than the illegal drugs they were acquainted with. "These are experienced drug users ... There's a lot of things they'll suffer for the drug high they're looking for," said Henry A. Spiller, director of the Kentucky Regional Poison Center in Louisville. "Even these people are coming into the emergency room. Even they can't handle these fairly nasty effects."
An E.R. doctor in Covington lost her stepson because of the dangerous side effects of bath salts. Julie Sanders said her stepson, 21-year-old Dickie Sanders, committed suicide only three days after sniffing bath salts, which people are calling "Cloud 9", just one of the names under which methylenedioxypyrovalerone (METH-uh-leen-di-OX-ee-PY-ro-VAL-uh-rone) or MDVP, is sold under. MDVP can be purchased at Head shops or gas stations around the country and on the Internet as well, poisons centers around the country have already had 160 calls because of these dangerous products.

Leaking Amniotic Fluid and Birth Injuries
August 1, 2018 /0 Comments/in Birth Injury, Pregnancy /by rstokes
If amniotic fluid begins leaking during pregnancy, this may increase the baby's risk of experiencing a birth injury. Some women find it difficult to determine if they are really leaking amniotic fluid or another substance (such as urine or vaginal discharge), so it is important to consult a doctor if there is any uncertainty.
Read on to learn more about the purpose of amniotic fluid, normal levels at various stages of pregnancy, and what leakage can indicate.
What is amniotic fluid?
During pregnancy, the baby floats in amniotic fluid, which is contained inside of the amniotic sac. The amniotic fluid appears within the first 12 days after conception. Early in pregnancy, it is made mostly of water produced by the mother. However, later in pregnancy, the baby begins to swallow the fluid and excrete it in the form of urine. By about 20 weeks of pregnancy, the amniotic fluid is made up entirely of fetal urine. It also contains important nutrients, antibodies, and hormones.
What is the purpose of amniotic fluid?
Amniotic fluid serves many functions. These include:
Cushioning the fetus from physical pressures.
Cushioning the umbilical cord from physical pressures (i.e. stopping it from becoming compressed, which can restrict the flow of oxygenated blood and nutrients to the baby).
Keeping the baby warm.
Preventing infection in the baby.
Helping the baby's lungs and digestive system develop. The baby breathes and swallows the amniotic fluid, thereby practicing using muscles in the respiratory and digestive tracts.
Helping the baby's muscles and bones develop. The fluid allows the baby to float and move around inside the amniotic sac, which promotes proper development.
Preventing fingers and toes from growing together. The amniotic fluid lubricates the baby's extremities. If there is not enough amniotic fluid, there may be webbing (1).
What is a normal amount of amniotic fluid?
The amount of amniotic fluid generally increases until approximately 36 weeks of pregnancy, when it reaches its highest point. Amniotic fluid levels throughout pregnancy may be as follows:
Week 12 of pregnancy: 60 mL
Week 16 of pregnancy: 175 mL
Weeks 34-48 of pregnancy: 400-1,200 mL (2)
Toward the end of pregnancy, the amount of amniotic fluid should decrease in preparation for birth. Generally, the amniotic sac tears near the end of the first stage of labor. At this time, the remaining amniotic fluid begins to leak out through the cervix and vagina. This is often called a mother's "water breaking" (1, 3). Some women will experience this as a sudden gush of fluid, but more often, it begins as a slow trickle (3). When the water breaks, it is important to get to the hospital as soon as possible. If a woman begins leaking amniotic fluid before the baby is at term, this can lead to premature birth and other complications (detailed in the next section). If the water breaks at term, this is a normal step of the birthing process and just means the baby is coming soon. However, hospitalization is still recommended for monitoring and medical care during the delivery process.
What can happen when amniotic fluid leaks?
Although a very small amount of amniotic fluid leakage may be okay, too much can result in oligohydramnios (an abnormally low level of amniotic fluid), and a number of other complications. These include:
Slowed fetal growth
Labor difficulties. For example, the umbilical cord may become compressed, and the baby may be deprived of oxygen.
Increased likelihood of cesarean delivery, which may be necessary to prevent fetal oxygen deprivation (birth asphyxia) and other complications.
Infection. If there is a tear or puncture in the amniotic membranes, dangerous bacteria can enter the uterus and harm the baby. (2).
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). This is a type of neonatal brain damage that may occur when the baby's brain does not receive enough oxygenated blood flow (4).
Leaking amniotic fluid can indicate premature rupture of membranes (PROM), a complication in which the amniotic sac ruptures (the mother's water breaks) before the baby is in the correct position for birth. PROM occurs in approximately two percent of pregnancies, and can result in infection, umbilical cord prolapse (when the cord descends the birth canal before or alongside the baby, possibly becoming compressed), and other issues.
PROM can also occur prematurely, in which case it is known as preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). PPROM comes with the added risk of causing premature birth (5).
Oligohydramnios, PROM, PPROM, and other complications associated with leaking amniotic fluid can be very dangerous. These issues can cause serious birth injuries, illnesses, and lifelong disabilities, including the following (among others):
Cerebral palsy (CP)
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)
Developmental delays (5)
How do doctors measure amniotic fluid?
Throughout a woman's pregnancy, her doctor should monitor the amount of amniotic fluid using ultrasound technology. There are two calculations that can be used: the amniotic fluid index (AFI) and the maximum vertical pocket (MPV) (2).
These tests can be used to diagnose oligohydramnios or polyhydramnios (abnormally high levels of amniotic fluid, the opposite of oligohydramnios). Both of these conditions serve as a warning sign that the mother and baby may be in danger.
Oligohydramnios occurs in about four percent of all pregnancies. It is more common in postterm pregnancies – that is, when a baby has not yet been delivered by 40 weeks. It can increase the risk of complications, especially umbilical cord prolapse. Sometimes, women with oligohydramnios will need cesarean deliveries. Doctors may also recommend an amnioinfusion (a procedure in which saline is infused into the uterus), increased hydration (either oral or through an IV), and bed rest (1).
Polyhydramnios occurs in about one percent of all pregnancies. Mild cases may resolve without treatment, but more severe cases can require amnioreduction, medications to reduce the amount of fetal urine (which can also put a fetus's heart health at risk, so doctors must weigh the pros and cons very carefully, and closely monitor the baby), early induction, or bed rest (6).
How can I determine whether amniotic fluid is leaking?
The signs and symptoms of amniotic fluid leakage can be subtle. Healthline explains this with a useful analogy:
"Think of your amniotic sac like a water balloon. While it's possible to break the water balloon, causing a strong gush of fluid (known as your water breaking), it's also possible that a small hole could develop in the sac. This can result in a slow leak of amniotic fluid."
During pregnancy, women may also experience leakage of urine (caused by the uterus pressing on the bladder) and excess vaginal fluid (which will help ease the birthing process). Distinguishing between these substances can be challenging, but the following are some general patterns:
Urine usually has a smell and is yellow in color. Although pregnant women often do have some urine leakage, they generally maintain some level of control over when it is released, while this is not the case for vaginal fluid or amniotic fluid. Therefore, if you concentrate on "holding it," and are still leaking fluid, it is likely not urine.
Vaginal fluid is usually white or yellow-ish. It is unlikely to soak through underwear.
Amniotic fluid has no smell. It can be clear, have white specks, or contain small amounts of mucus or blood. It is more likely than vaginal fluid to saturate underwear.
In order to determine whether a substance is amniotic fluid, Healthline recommends first emptying the bladder, and then wearing a sanitary pad or liner for 30 minutes to an hour. This will make it easier to examine (2).
When should I call a doctor?
If you believe your water has broken or have expelled a substantial amount of fluid, call your doctor immediately, because this may indicate your membranes have ruptured (1, 2).
You should also call your doctor immediately if the leaked fluid has a green or brownish yellow color. This may mean that your baby has defecated inside of the womb (or passed meconium); if this enters the baby's lungs, it can be very dangerous. This complication is called meconium aspiration syndrome, and it requires prompt medical attention (1).
If you are unsure whether you have leaked amniotic fluid, the best thing to do is call a doctor right away. Remember that the distinction between these substances is not always obvious, and that it is your doctor's job to help you when you have a concern!
What if my doctor doesn't take my symptoms seriously?
Doctors who provide prenatal care should monitor their patients' amniotic fluid volume via ultrasound. This is very important because the baby requires a certain amount of amniotic fluid in order to develop properly. If there is too little or too much, medical intervention may be necessary.
Failure to assess amniotic fluid volume during prenatal testing is negligence. If a doctor or nurse dismisses a pregnant woman's concerns about amniotic fluid leakage, this is also negligence. If medical professionals fail to recognize/respond to amniotic fluid leakage, and this harms the baby, it is medical malpractice. When not managed appropriately, amniotic fluid leakage can lead to serious birth injuries and lifelong disabilities such as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and cerebral palsy.

There's a full-dress T. C. today about corporate welfare, but it's not political. Ruben De Los Santos and Martha De Los Santos, 156 T. C. 9, filed 4/12/21, had an employee welfare benefit plan for themselves and four (count 'em, four) other employees of their Sub S. Judge Albert G ("Scholar Al") Lauber reminds us that Ruben's welfare plan was a SDLIA, and got his tax benefits taxed back to him as ordinary income per Reg. Section 1.61-22(b), as more particularly bounded and described in 2018 T. C. Memo. 155, filed 9/18/18.
I didn't blog Ruben's loss, as I had a full-dress T. C. to deal with that day, and Ruben's deal was much of a muchness.
But today, Ruben's trusty attorney earns a Taishoff "Good Try," claiming that the benefits are a corporate distribution, entitled to Section 301 treatment. Tight-fisted ol' IRS says no, the SDLIA was a "'compensatory arrangement' that afforded benefits to petitioner husband in his capacity as an employee." 156 T. C. 9, at p. 3.
Ruben (that's Doc Ruben, MD) incorporated his medical practice as a Sub S, and took all the flow-throughs on the MFJ 1040s for the years at issue. He set up one of the Legacy plans. Legacy was a lead hawker of split-dollar life insurance plans; for the backstory on SDLIAs, see my blogpost "The Split," 8/27/12.
For Ruben and Martha to be eligible for plan benefits, they had to be employees of the Sub S.
"Under the Legacy Plan as adopted by the S Corp., petitioners were entitled to a $12.5 million death benefit, and the four rank-and-file employees were entitled to a $10,000 death benefit and certain flexible benefits. To fund the promised death benefits the Legacy Plan required the purchase of life insurance. The Trust accordingly purchased a life insurance policy (Policy) insuring petitioners' lives. The Policy was a 'flexible premium variable universal life' policy with accumulation values based on the investment experience of a separate fund. The Policy provided base insurance coverage of $12.5 million, equal to the death benefit that the S Corp. had selected for petitioners. The Policy was a 'survivor policy,' under which the insurer would pay $12.5 million to the Trust when the second of petitioners died. The Trust in turn was required to pay $12.5 million to whatever beneficiaries petitioners had designated." 156 T. C. 9, at p. 5.
So Doc Ruben deducted the $1.862 million the policy cost him as a business expense, while in a couple following years (hi, Judge Holmes) the policy accumulated about $800K in cash surrender value. IRS bounced the deal. Ruben and Martha lost summary J on split-dollarism. So why am I writing this?
Because IRS, Ruben and Martha, and Judge Scholar Al left figuring out what part of the cash surrender build-up gets taxed for what years. Ruben and Martha and trusty attorney claim the benefits are corporate distributions of property, notwithstanding that they agree that the benefits were employee compensation.
Ya see, back in 2018, 6 Cir overturned Machacek, to which I had given short shrift when it was a T. C. Memo. (see my blogpost "A Scrap About Scrap," 3/28/16). I had cavalierly dismissed Machacek: "And as these SDLIA deals have been blown sky-high so many times, it's not likely any of my readers will encounter any new ones." Boy, was I wrong!
6 Cir went off on Reg. Section 1.301-1(q)(1)(i), which says all SDLIA distributions are corporate distributions, and that provision overrides Reg. Section 1.61-22(b).
Judge Lauber isn't buying.
Golsen to the rescue. Machacek was 6 Cir, but Ruben and Martha are Texians, hence 5 Cir. "To adopt the Sixth Circuit's construction of section 1.301-1(q)(1)(i), Income Tax Regs., would require us to ignore the plain language of section 301(a), the statute under which the regulation was promulgated. We are not permitted to construe a regulation in a manner that ignores its governing statute or that adds to the statute 'something which is not there.'" 156 T. C. 9, at p. 16. (Citation omitted).
Section 301(a) says a distribution to a shareholder is only a distribution if it is made in the shareholder's capacity as such.
"These general rules, unambiguously stated at the outset of the section 301 regulations, necessarily apply to (and limit) the subsequent, more granular provisions. Those subsequent provisions often refer to "distributions to shareholders" or "property transferred by a corporation to a shareholder," without explicitly saying–each and every time–that the distribution or transfer is being made to the shareholder "in his capacity as such." But there was no need for Treasury to include that verbiage in these more granular provisions because the general rules stated at the outset limit the scope of the regulations to distributions by a corporation with respect to its stock." 156 T. C. 9, at pp. 18-19. (Footnote omitted).
And since it's compensation, it's subject to FICA/FUTA. Adopting 6 Cir would mean an employer could give each employee a couple shares stock (hi again, Judge Holmes) and dodge withholding on the benefits.
Finally, Ruben and Martha elected to have their Sub S taxed as a partnership, and there are no Section 301 "distributions" to partnerships.
Ch J Foley, and Judges Gale, Gustafson, Paris, Morrison, Kerrigan, Buch, Nega, Pugh, Ashford, Urda, Copeland, Jones, Toro, Greaves, Marshall, and Weiler all agree.
I bet IRS is hoping Ruben's trusty attorney appeals.

Let's get together: Tom Tom connects entrepreneurs to, well, everybody
Photo Credit: Ryan Jones
Erika Howsare
4/25/20 at 10:47 AM
Spring is coming, and so is the Tom Tom Summit & Festival. [UPDATE: Originally slated for April, Tom Tom has been rescheduled for September 21-27, 2020.] Every year, the event mixes music, community art projects, and a plethora of innovative business ideas. We caught up with Tom Tom's executive director, Paul Beyer, for a look ahead at this year's fest.
Can you share any success stories coming out of Tom Tom's business competitions?
Tom Tom's competitions range from crowd-funded pitch nights targeted toward individuals and very early-stage small business to equity-based challenges seeking to match investors with scalable technology companies. Over the past several years, there have been hundreds of thousands of dollars invested at Tom Tom. Success at Tom Tom can mean a start-up entrepreneur receiving the encouragement to keep going—even if they don't "win"—or an investment. Last year's winner of the crowdfunded pitch night was Babylon Microfarms. They have continued to grow, and recently raised $2.3M in capital to expand their business.
What will help Charlottesville thrive in the 21st century on the creative, entrepreneurial, industry, and innovation side?
My dream for 21st-century Charlottesville is one in which we're able to become a welcoming home to all types of residents—a city that is filled with opportunity, and encouraging to dreamers, creators, and entrepreneurs. In terms of opportunity, we're beginning to make real strides here with various educational and entrepreneurial programs that level the playing field. In terms of encouragement, that is something that we as a community have to continue to get better at. In a lot of respects, Charlottesville is a very successful and affluent place, and thus it can fall into complacency. We can sometimes be a little apathetic or even negative to new ideas. At Tom Tom we really try to make sure that creators of all kinds are honored and celebrated.
How has Tom Tom been integral to pushing those qualities forward since it was founded?
I think Tom Tom's best quality is being grassroots, which allows many people to contribute in different ways. We invite people to join our programs or to create their own to accomplish their organization's goals. I'd like to think that creates a sense of "ownership." Tom Tom's goal is to create a platform that can model how stakeholders can work together throughout the year.
How do you see local organizations and artists contributing to business development locally?
One of Charlottesville and Albemarle's best assets is a vibrant culture and quality of life— which are directly related to the artists and nonprofits in the region. We wouldn't have anywhere near the level of startup activity if entrepreneurs didn't want to locate here and stay here. Of course, one of my biggest concerns—one that is shared by many of our neighbors—is that our housing and commercial spaces are increasingly unaffordable, and many artists have been priced out of living here.
What sort of business-related headliners can we expect in April?
We'll be announcing our headliners in the coming weeks. They include Bruce Katz, author of The New Localism, and The Atlantic's Jim and Deb Fallows, all of whom write about the conditions that communities need to foster in order to have more vibrant and prosperous entrepreneurial communities. We also have serial entrepreneur Tiffany Norwood and restauranteur/chef (and UVA grad) Tanya Holland heading our way.

The work visa and visitor employee programs are often misconstrued by employers and applicants and an untrained strategy can bring about disappointment if not managed appropriately, specifically at the final difficulty which is the consular office stage. United States Immigration offers different possibilities for companies and migrant workers, annually US Immigration work programs authorizes an excellent number of visa applications for trained specialists. Individuals who are looking for a job have the opportunity to make an application for a USA visa under a company or enroller who has pre approved legal compliances to work with an appropriate foreign employee as a staff member under his firm. The US Immigration job programs have actually arranged variety of visa choices for companies to hire staff members according to their needs. For employers, there are several convenient options to manage their workforce with foreign professionals.
United States Immigration offers H-1B Visa for professionals, H-2B Visa program for seasonal employees, many of whom may be highly competent such as welders, fitters, electricians, journeymen linemen along with the common preferred needs within the program such as ski hotel workers, constriction workers, hospitality team such as chefs, vehicle drivers, food web servers, food manufacturing assistants and several more. The L-1 Visa is also rather prominent for intra business transfers. Lately with the brand-new rules being presented for the H-2B visa which avoids some unethical practices by both some representatives and also employers there has actually been a significant shift towards the Q1 Visa and the J1 Visa as an option to the H B visa program. These are one of the most hassle-free job, employer and also sponsor associated visas for United States Immigration for migrant or นำเข้าแรงงานต่างด้าว, which can quickly be acquired by the employers via dealing with seasoned and experienced migration and also recruitment solutions such as the Overseas Recruitment Association.
There are various visa alternatives for different professional specialists. H-1B visa and also H-2B visas are scheduled the employees.

According to Bloomberg, Netflix's pre-recorded call to shareholders announcing its third-quarter results gives us another glimpse at how successful Squid Game was. Around 142 million households worldwide watched the Korean-language show about debt-ridden individuals playing a deadly game for a cash prize worth tens of millions of dollars. That makes it the most-viewed new show in Netflix history, the publication said.
Squid Game captured the "cultural zeitgeist" and claimed the number 1 spot in the streaming giant's rankings in 94 countries, including the US, Netflix has revealed. Since there's a huge demand for all things Squid Game, Netflix has also announced that consumer products based on the show are now on their way to retail.
A few days ago, Bloomberg obtained documents detailing the company's scores for "impact value" and "efficiency." Netflix has been pretty secretive on the metrics that make a title successful or not, and the documents showed how it measures series' and movies' success. Squid Game was a standout, generating $891.1 million in impact value, which is around 41.7 times — that's its efficiency score — its budget of $21.4 million.
Thanks in part to Squid Game's massive viewership, Netflix said it posted its best subscriber growth of the year. "As the quarter continued, we saw an acceleration in our growth," Chief Financial Officer Spencer Neumann said on the call. It welcomed 4.38 million subscribers in the third quarter, mostly from Asia and Europe, and it expects to get 8.5 million more customers in the final quarter of 2021.

"Isn't it the wrong time of year to prune roses?" said my neighbour, two weeks ago, as we both took our bins out. "Should I be pruning mine too?" he asked with the willingness of an eager apprentice. He is a long-time househusband. He has run his house and children and acted as a support person for his wife's busy career as competently as any housewife could. However, he is not quite so happy with his garden. Although respectable, he says it is lacking in comparison with other gardens he admires.
