The Department of State recently published the January 2018 Visa Bulletin. Last month we took a closer look at the December 2017 Visa Bulletin, so let's examine how this month's bulletin holds up against it, and what changes the new year brings to companies waiting to file employment-based Green Card applications for their foreign national employees.
Before looking into the countries and their categories listed on the bulletin, let's take a closer look at the categories for Certain Religious Workers and 5th Regional Center. In these two categories, all countries show the letter "U", which means no numbers were authorized for issuance. Therefore, those two categories will not be addressed in detail below.
As discussed in the last article about the December 2017 Visa Bulletin, priority dates have remained current in all categories over the past four months. This month, they remain current and do not retrogress. As a comparison, on the January 2017 Visa Bulletin, the priority dates for the 3rd category as well as the "other workers" category retrogressed to August 2016.
As for China, all categories that were current in December 2017 do remain current in January. The priority dates for the 2nd, 3rd, "other workers", and 5th Non-Regional categories all progress between one week and five months.
One year ago, on the January 2017 Visa Bulletin, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras were added to the bulletin and therefore were no longer included in the section of countries that were not specifically listed. After all categories either remained current or progressed on last month's bulletin, we see little change in the January 2018 Visa Bulletin. The 4th category progresses by one month, while all other categories remain current, continuing the steady upward trend we have been seeing over the past year.
India has been the group with the most distant priority dates on the bulletin, and this status remains unchanged in January 2018. While all categories that were current in December 2017 remain current in January 2018, the 2nd, 3rd and "other workers" categories, which have shown little to no progression in recent months, progress by a few weeks each.
As noted in our analysis of the December 2017 Visa Bulletin, priority dates for individuals born in Mexico have shown little fluctuation over the past year. That said, the priority date for the 4th category progresses by less than two months, which shows a steady upward trend in the priority dates for individuals born in Mexico.
The priority dates for the 3rd and "other workers" category have been progressing steadily over the past twelve months after having retrogressed by nearly two years on the January 2017 Visa Bulletin, they continue to progress this month, although only by a few weeks. However, it is noteworthy that the priority dates for the 3rd category have progressed by almost 5 years over the past twelve months.
2018: The Year of Surprises?
Overall, the January 2018 Visa Bulletin brings little to no major surprises, which might be a big surprise itself. In the light of the current administration's efforts to move towards a merit-based immigration system in the U.S., any changes, even minor ones, can be an implication of the future developments of priorities dates, as well as of the future of the bulletin itself.
It is therefore important to acknowledge that the developments on the January 2018 Visa Bulletin were very minor overall, and stand in contrast to last year's January Visa Bulletin. In January 2017, not only was a whole new set of countries added to the bulletin, almost all priority dates either remained current or retrogressed, some of them drastically.


Wear your faith as a shield! If it's a little battered, you know it's being used! Pebeo fantasy paints were added to a copper, circle blank, creating a swirling effect The copper shield was then stamped and placed on top of the painted blank. Both blanks were sealed with resin to protect the artwork. This is the perfect necklace to serve as a reminder"fight the good fight of faith!"
To care for your necklace, wipe the resin with a damp paper towel. The copper can be cleaned with a commercial product such as tarn-x.

The LG GD880 Mini is a looker. Quite the way to start really, but the Mini isn't all about looks. From the hardware design through the high-res screen to the software – everything was crafted by skillful hands. Beauty is function in design – nothing is more complex than it needs to be, but beneath the deceptive simplicity there's a myriad of functions.
The LG GD880, despite its name, is not a small phone, in the sense of some recent minis (*cough*X10mini*cough*). It is darn small next to the LG BL40 New Chocolate, but by no means tiny.
Indeed, Mini also refers to the design concept – there are barely any hardware keys on the device, and the GD880 has one of the cleanest faces in business.
Minimalism does not mean lack of functionality. The scratch-resistant 3.2" display of the impressive WVGA (480x854 pixels) resolution opens the door to HTML5 and Flash capable browsing over a zippy HSPA connection.
Then there's the multitasking, the social networking, and the multimedia features. Here's a list of goodies that make the Mini quite big in terms of functionality.
The LG GD880 Mini runs LG's S-Class OS, which keeps it outside of the smartphone tussle, but it also gives LG complete freedom to design it – and they've spared no effort to draw out each element in great detail, shadows, gloss and all.
Make it simple and make it beautiful too – this seems to be the clear objective and LG did well for all we've seen so far. But we know you're keen to see looks translated into performance, so let's get started.

LED technology has brought lighting solutions that come with a host of benefits. Utilizing these lighting solutions will see you not just have a well-lit space, but also enjoy a host of other benefits. Top among the benefits include energy saving, cutting costs, as well as long service. You might feel tempted to start replacing all the bulbs that you have in the house.
LED lighting fixtures are just what you need when making a switch to a more eco-friendly technology. Making the most of this technology is quite easy. You can introduce it gradually into your property. You should ensure that you utilize the best fixtures to match the lighting purpose you seek to meet. This presents one way to tap fully into the benefits that this lighting option has to offer.
The LED fixtures have a guarantee of long service. You should use them for the hard to reach lights. The areas that present such challenges are the high ceiling fixtures, lighting in tight spaces, as well as outdoor floodlights that are highly placed. Since the bulbs last long, you will not need to make frequent replacements for the hard to reach fixtures. You will have found a convenient solution that ensures you do not have areas that are not lit as they should. LED fixtures provide the best lighting option for areas such as underground subways, tunnels, or such other spaces that present a unique lighting need.
If you have areas in your house or commercial space that sees frequent use for extended periods, then this is the best lighting option for such areas. The sitting room and kitchen are two areas of the house that become a hub of activity during the evenings. Using LED fixtures here ensures that you provide adequate lighting, as well as lower your energy costs. The more light emitted by the bulbs provides the required clear bright light that other bulbs do not have.
You should not limit yourself to what you can do with the lighting solutions. The ability to conform to different shaped fixtures as well as the fact the bulbs come in different sizes, allows you to do a lot with the light. You can use the LED diodes to accent your furniture and house structure. Under cabinet lights and accent lighting can help to draw attention to areas you want people to notice. The lights can transform the room to your satisfaction by creating the ambience you want emphasized.
Low energy cost is the dream of many property owners. Using this lighting option ensures that your home is eco-friendly. The bulbs utilize very little energy in order to work. You will therefore have lights on for long hours without worrying about the bill getting high. The bulbs do not also waste energy through heat generation.

She stood on the top of the Olympic podium for the very last time, taking in the special moment that has left a lasting impact and legacy on the sport of track and field. "I feel at peace," Allyson Felix said after affirming her title as the most decorated USA Track and Field (USATF) athlete of all time.
Felix made history at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, her fifth and final Games. After earning gold in the 4 x 400m relay race alongside world record-breaker Dalilah Muhammad and USATF rising stars Sydney McLaughlin and Athing Mu, Felix won the bronze medal in the 400m race. It became her eleventh Olympic medal and made Felix the first to better the record previously held by USATF legend Carl Lewis.
The 35-year-old knows that age is not always kind to athletes, but Felix ran her fastest time in six years in her final Olympic race and became the oldest woman to win an Olympic gold medal in a track event. Two years ago, she was unsure if she would be able to return to competition after several personal hardships but she cast aside the doubters and fought for her dream.
Felix has an unsurpassed career, but her legacy is not limited to her speed on the track. She is an Olympic athlete, a mother, an activist and an entrepreneur. In 2018, after giving birth to her daughter Camryn prematurely and facing a life-threatening health condition, Felix did not shy away from sharing her story. She spoke out about her experiences, visited Congress to discuss racial disparities in maternal mortality, took on powerhouse sportswear brand Nike for how they treated her during the pregnancy and ultimately became one of the greatest champions for motherhood among female athletes.
"When you see me on the track, I hope you understand my fight. As an athlete who was told I was too old, as a woman who was told to know my place, as a mother who wasn't sure I would live to raise my daughter. I hope you see that for me, it's about so much more than what the clock says," she said.
Felix crossed the finish line in Tokyo wearing shoes from her own brand Saysh. "I know my place, and it's in my own shoes," Felix wrote on Instagram alongside a picture showcasing her medals and a scar from her emergency c-section, a meaningful symbol of her journey and her grit.
Upon returning home to California, Felix received a warm welcome from Camryn and her husband, which went viral on social media. The USATF star has been at the forefront of the incredible success of women's sport for over a decade. While she may have hung up her Olympic spikes after Tokyo 2020, her journey is far from over. The next chapter of her life will focus on further building her legacy as a mother and businesswoman.
For the lasting impact she has left on USA Track and Field and using her voice to advocate for all women in sport, Allyson Felix is JTA Communicator of the Week.

Portfolio Choices and Asset Prices: The Comparative Statics of Ambiguity Aversion
Gollier, Christian
Christian Gollier
We investigate the comparative statics of "more ambiguity aversion" as defined by Klibanoff, Marinacci and Mukerji (2005) in the context of the static two-asset portfolio problem. It is not true in general that more ambiguity aversion reduces the demand for the uncertain asset. We exhibit some sufficient conditions to guarantee that, ceteris paribus, an increase in ambiguity aversion reduces the demand for the ambiguous asset, and raises the equity premium. For example, this is the case when the set of plausible distributions of returns can be ranked according to the monotone likelihood ratio order. We also show how ambiguity aversion distorts the price kernel in the alternative portfolio problem with complete markets for contingent claims.

Q: Nuget pack suddenly failing After months of using Nuget Pack in PowerShell without a problem, it is suddenly failing every time.
These are the messages:

Attempting to build package from 'MyProj.fsproj'.
MSBuild auto-detection: using msbuild version '12.0' from 'C:\Program
  Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin'.
The imported project "C:\Program Files
  (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\FSharp\Microsoft.Portable.FSharp.Targets"
  was not found. Confirm that the path in the  declaration i s
  correct, and that the file exists on disk.
  C:\GitHub\MyProj\MyProj.fsproj

I went into the fsproj file and found these elements:
<PropertyGroup>
    <MinimumVisualStudioVersion Condition="'$(MinimumVisualStudioVersion)' == ''">12</MinimumVisualStudioVersion>
</PropertyGroup>
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\FSharp\Microsoft.Portable.FSharp.Targets" />

Looking in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\FSharp, there is indeed a file called Microsoft.Portable.FSharp.Targets, but there is no such file in C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\FSharp.
I tried to fix this issue by editing the fsproj file, and changing MinimumVisualStudioVersion to 14, but that did no good whatsoever.
Why is the auto-detection picking up MSBuild 12, not MSBuild 14? And more pertinently, why could this possibly have started happening after months and months of flawless builds?
I'm using the command nuget pack MyProj.fsproj -properties Configuration=Release.

A: I've just worked this out. I'd uninstalled Visual Studio 2015. It's still picking up an old version of MSBuild.

Surprise £450m GDS budget lights up Spending Review
lucbouchard 25 November 2015
When Mike Bracken left the Government Digital Service (GDS) at the end of September, anyone suggesting the organisation could have received an increase in its budget would probably have been certified.
For GDS to be referenced in the first 25 minutes of George Osborne's statement on the Spending Review and then receive a budget of £450m – admittedly over four, or possibly five years – is at least at the upper end of its expectations. Arguably, it was way beyond them.
In signalling a major restructuring of HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) in favour of a more digital organisation, the chancellor announced his intentions to try and create one of the most digitally advanced tax systems in the world. He then signalled an increase in the GDS budget to £450m alongside a major reduction in the Cabinet Office's budget.
Osborne plans to invest £1.8bn in digital technology and transformation projects across the public sector over the next four years.
Papers supporting the review said the Government Digital Service (GDS) will continue to act as the digital, data and technology centre for government, supporting departments as they transform their business operations, setting best practice and ensuring quality of services.
The move debunks any fears of a reduced role – and budget – for GDS. In fact, its role is confirmed with Government as a Platform (GaaP) and notably GOV.UK Pay prominent. It is possible that a large chunk of the budget relates to the reallocation of GOV.UK Verify from elsewhere in the Cabinet Office.
The government said it will provide GDS with £450m, "to create common platforms, for example GOV.UK Pay, which will simplify hundreds of different payment systems making it easier for businesses and citizens to pay government."
By 2020, the government's ambition is for citizens to have the option to pay online for every central government service, including passports, driving licences and motoring fees. The Common Technology Services programme will deliver flexible and modern technology for the entire Civil Service, opening up more government contracts to suppliers and saving money for taxpayers."
The Cabinet Office said its Spending Review settlement will see £282m of resource funding and up to £90m of capital funding by 2019 to 2020 for cross-government digital and property programmes to deliver savings and improve services such as GOV.UK Pay.
Cabinet Office minister Matt Hancock is understood to have played a key role in making GDS's digital transformation case to the Treasury. Although there were fears that GDS's profile might slip with the departure of Francis Maude, there are some who believe both the Prime Minister's recent plaudits for GDS and Hancock's political closeness to George Osborne has had a major effect on its fortunes that probably could not have been foreseen two months ago.
Kable chief analyst Jessica Figueras said, "Yet again, George Osborne is revealed as a master of the art of expectations management. Following months of hints of politically painful cuts, we'd been expecting the Spending Review to create a sense of relief via last-minute reprieves, political and accounting fudges. In fact the picture presented looked more like a series of rabbits pulled from Osborne's hat rather than the U-turns described by the opposition.
"Thanks to more generous borrowing forecasts from OBR, and by quietly pushing back deficit reduction another year, Osborne was able to reduce the departmental resource savings target from £20bn to £12bn. Now, £9.5bn of savings will be 'reinvested in the government's priorities' rather than banked. This may explain the eye-catching promise to invest £1.8 billion in digital transformation, much of which will probably be achieved by re-badging existing ICT programmes as 'digital enabling' rather than freeing up new money. This should be a strong signal to vendor sales and marketing folk to keep talking the digital talk.
"MoJ, Home Office and HMRC are where the most obvious gains from digitisation are to be found, and there was specific mention of digitising criminal justice in order to speed the closure of courts, and more money for border technology, including passports and immigration, as well as digital tax. All of these programmes are already underway, of course, though it's good to know there is continuing support. But there will be no letup in planned savings from the renewal of major departmental IT outsourcing contracts coming up at Home Office, Defra and HMRC.
"£450m for GDS was the biggest surprise, but an almost total lack of detail – and silence from Aviation House – suggests that this sum would be over 5 years, representing £90m a year – a 55% rise from its current £58m budget, which is still very generous. GaaP got a mention, but the only new common platform promised was GOV.UK Pay. We'd suspect the extra cash will be spent on GOV.UK Verify, which will need to be scaled up fast to support new digital services across government, rather than being used to fund GDS-led development projects; but we won't know for sure until more detail is available."
Kable research director Alan Mo said, "On social care, it is important to look beyond the headline of allowing councils to levy a 2% council tax precept to pay for adult social care. The ability to raise council tax by 2% to go towards adult social care sounds may be welcomed by some, but it will have an unbalanced and unequal impact across the country. Localities with lower council tax receipts are often those with a higher proportion of the population eligible for social care; while many of the councils that have higher tax receipts also have a higher proportion of self-funders."
"So local authorities will not be able to rely on the 2%, and local areas will need to double up efforts towards health and care integration, and early intervention. With this in mind, the extra £1.5bn for the Better Care Fund (BCF) is a small positive, and could open up opportunities for technology suppliers. It is clear that technology can play an important enabling role, and most existing BCF proposals confirm a growing call for single integrated customer records, with locally configurable workflow helping drive process integration."
"It is also good to see more focus on place, but successful devolution will require more effective multi-agency working. As with health and care integration, there will be technical barriers (e.g. different organisations using different systems, and capturing data differently), so suppliers that can support and facilitate more effective collaboration and partnership working may see increased demand for their solutions."
At the beginning of the week, ahead of the Spending Review, it emerged that the Chancellor had agreed to award £3.8 billion above inflation to NHS England, the provider of frontline services, for the 2016/17 year.
Kable research director Andrena Logue said: "From an NHS perspective this is a better settlement for the NHS, and NHS England CEO Simon Stevens takes the credit for all his lobbying.
"The frontloading of £3.8bn in 2016/17 should be well received by the majority, to potentially stave off the winter of discontent that has been looming.
"On the tech side, there are few details on new money, which absolutely has to come through to support the upcoming digital maturity index and push interoperability, never mind day-to-day spend on core systems, which is lagging nationally. All of this has to be shored up to support the National Information Board's 2020 digital and patient centric blueprint which plans to provide access to your health records in plain English on your smartphone."
Many had expected police cuts, so their absence was a major surprise. Kable senior analyst Josh Hewer said, "Police forces have been entirely saved from the predicted cuts to police funding, but there is a price. Constabularies are expected to continue on the path of shared services and combined back offices. The biggest winner will be the National Crime Agency, which will receive £200m in capital funding to build its capabilities to respond to serious and online crimes. Furthermore, the agency is to lead on crime analytics and the National Digital Exploitation Service to use big data to deliver UK policing.
"Police forces have come out relatively well from the CSR, but the same cannot be said of Fire Brigades. Cuts to local government funding will squeeze brigades, and legislation is to be brought forward to enable Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to manage the other emergency services. Fire Brigades will be raided by PCCs for further funds, and integration is to become a statutory duty. With smaller and shrinking budgets, fire services have lost out from this latest CSR."


Adequate yearly progress (AYP) is the measure by which schools, districts, and states are held accountable for student performance under Title I of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, the current version of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. AYP is used to determine whether schools are successfully educating their students. The New York State Education Department has recently provided information on the state's school accountability status for the 2010-2011 school year.
The chart included in this post shows New York City Community School District data.
The columns indicate the percentage of schools in each Community School District "In Good Standing" under NCLB. The blue, downward sloping, arrow is a trend line. The red, upward sloping, line indicates the percentage of students in each Community School District eligible for free and reduced price meals through the National School Lunch program, a measure of poverty.

This time, Deacons get it done down the stretch
After stumbling late in its two previous games, Wake Forest finishes strong to squeeze the Syracuse Orange 73-67
January 3, 2018 Brett Friedlander Article
Wake Forest's Doral Moore scores between two Syracuse defenders during Wednesday's win at Joel Coliseum (Jeremy Brevard/USA TODAY Sports)
WINSTON-SALEM — The final minute of Wednesday's game against Syracuse started with an ominously familiar look for the Wake Forest basketball team.
Ahead by four and in position to put an opponent away, the Deacons missed five key free throws, including two by Brandon Childress after the Orange was called for an intentional foul.
But instead of wilting down the stretch as it did in its two previous games — losses to Tennessee and in its ACC opener against North Carolina last Saturday — Wake did what coach Danny Manning said it needed to do and finally made some shots.
Freshman Olivier Sarr made his final five attempts over the final 23.4 seconds and the Deacons got just enough stops when they needed them to hold on for a 73-67 victory at Joel Coliseum.
"Every game in ACC play, every game moving forward is going to be close," said senior guard Mitchell Wilbekin, who finished with 10 points and career-high eight assists. "Everyone in this league is competitive with each other, so I think our guys did a good job of sticking together. It wasn't always pretty, but we got the win and we won't apologize for that."
Wake (8-6) didn't go without its lulls in its conference home opener. It's just that time they came with enough time left to recover from them.
The first came late in the opening half, when Syracuse took advantage of a six-minute Deacon drought to score 12 unanswered points that turned an eight-point deficit into a 29-25 lead. Wilbekin ended that run with a key four-point play with 26 seconds remaining that helped his team regain its confidence headed into the break.
Wake's offense screeched to a halt again midway through the second half during a four-minute stretch in which it could only muster a pair of Terrence Thompson free throws.
But again, they were able to recover, this time on the strength of three 3-pointers by Bryant Crawford and one each from Wilbekin and Chaundee Brown.
Crawford led the Deacons with 19 points while Thompson added 13, mostly on jumpers from the soft spot in the middle of Syracuse's trademark matchup zone defense.
"I thought we started the game (well), but then we got stagnant," Manning said. "Their zone will do that to you. But at the end of the day, for us to have 20 assists on 25 field goals, I think we did a good job of moving the basketball."
Wake's 80 percent assist-to-field goal rate was its second-highest since 1997-98, topped only by the 81 percent (22 assists on 27 baskets) it posted against Boston College last season. The Deacons' effort was all the more impressive considering that leading scorer Keyshawn Woods played only three minutes, scoring five points, after suffering what is believe to be a knee injury.
"I thought it was a really good game by all the guards that played," Manning said.
As good as Crawford, Wilbekin and Brandon Childress were, the biggest difference in the game might have been the big guys up front.
Between them, centers Doral Moore and Sarr, along with power forward Thompson, combined for 20 rebounds as the Deacons outrebounded the Orange 38-29. It was the first time in 15 games this season that Syracuse (12-3, 1-1) has been outrebounded, and it came on the heels of a game at UNC in which Manning was critical of his team's performance on the boards.
Wake scored 11 second-chance points Wednesday. That's 11 more than it had against the Tar Heels four days earlier.
"The whole week, coach has been emphasizing rebounding in practice," Thompson said. "That carried over into the game today. Every time the ball went up for a shot three, four and five crashed the glass. The guards also helped us on the boards. That was a strong point for us. … We just too pride in rebounds tonight."
They also showed a little resilience by hanging tough despite a few rough spots down the stretch while learning from their mistakes of the previous two losses.
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, for one, was impressed with what he saw from the deeper Deacons, who outscored Syracuse's bench 20-0 and used its depth to wear the Orange down as the game went on.
"The Carolina game the other day they had a four-point lead late and they could have easily won the game," Boeheim said. "I think they started slow this year, but I think they've got a good team. They've got really good balance. They've got guys that can shoot, they've got big guys that rebounded. I thought they played well tonight.

WASHINGTON (AP) The NBA has changed several numbers after a rough night for the stats crew at the game between the Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards.
It turns out Wizards guard Bradley Beal didn't commit a career-high seven turnovers; He had only five. Teammate John Wall had seven instead of six. And the Wizards had 20 giveaways instead of 25.
Inaccurate numbers were released throughout Tuesday night's game, a 106-102 win for the Hawks. ''Final'' stats also contained inaccuracies.
Among other changes made Wednesday: Atlanta's Kyle Korver went 0 of 4 from the field, not 0 for 3. And Washington's Paul Pierce was 6 for 16, not 6 for 14.

Available in black, red and green designs, the CaddyTek SuperLite Deluxe boasts a competitive price. Also, this popular push cart has a cup holder, an umbrella compartment and a mesh pocket, so you can be handsfree while you stroll the course.

The Jef World of Golf Deluxe Steel push cart has few frills. It doesn't include a cup holder, specialty wheels or bungee straps. But, this two-wheel cart does have an eye-popping low price and it carries your clubs around the course.
In addition to the price, golfers will like the wide wheelbase for better stability, a comfortable horizontal handle and a durable design. This popular push cart also has a plastic-covered scorecard holder, securing straps for large gold bags and steel construction. You can collapse the cart to half its size for simple storage. The push cart measures 9 x 10 x 33.5 inches.
The Bat-Caddy X3R may look like a cross between a Segway and a scooter, but it runs like a high-end car. This "push cart" is powered by either a 35Ah sealed lead acid battery or light lithium battery that allows golfers to have complete and effortless control over your bag as you travel around the course.
The X3R is the 10th generation of Bat-Caddy's top product, so it has been improved repeatedly to the point of near-perfection.

Golfers will love the simple brakes, the comfortable handles, the compact size when folded and the quick-release wheels, but it's the swivel wheel that really makes this cart one-of-a-kind.

Despite its large four-wheel size, this cart can be easily folded to fit into a car (17 x 13.8 x 25.8 inches) and only weighs 17 pounds.

May 16, 2012 Independent Review Finds EPA Pavillion Report Lacking in Scientific Data, Methodology and Analysis
Posted at 09:36h in Press Releases	by	StaffIPAA
Report shortcomings range from poor study to serious errors with monitoring wells
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) today announced the findings of an independent review of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s draft report, "Investigation of Ground Water Contamination near Pavillion, Wyoming," released on December 8, 2011.
The review finds that the data and analysis does not support the EPA's conclusions, including the agency's primary claim of contamination caused by hydraulic fracturing activity. The review also notes that EPA employed unapproved analytical methods and improperly conducted various field procedures; misinterpreted data used to draw conclusions; and EPA's "lines of evidence" can be adequately explained with alternative hypotheses.
The review was executed by S.S. Papadopulos & Associates (SSP&A), a leading groundwater and hydrogeology consulting firm with more than 30 years of experience. In this review, SSP&A has conducted a thorough, nonbiased review of the science behind the EPA study, which was intended to address certain complaints about domestic water well taste and odor.
"Through this review, the science speaks for itself," said Lee Fuller, IPAA Vice President of Government Relations. "Unfortunately, the EPA has continued to miss the mark with its draft report. We encourage EPA to work with the State of Wyoming and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), among other stakeholders, to re-examine the two EPA monitoring wells for their suitability to this study's objectives and to credibly investigate likely sources of potential constituents of concern while adopting strict scientific standards and avoiding guesswork. It is our hope that this study's flaws will challenge and guide the agency toward better methodology and reporting in the future."
Any reputable study of potential contamination in the area must be premised on a thorough review of the site-specific hydrogeologic conditions and distinguish among naturally occurring conditions, sources from drilling and hydraulic fracturing activities, and other anthropogenic sources. SSP&A's review concludes that the EPA did not complete the work necessary to distinguish between these potential sources and identified "contamination" that is not supported by an objective review of the available data.
SSP&A identified the following specific deficiencies related to EPA's study:
Poor Study Design, including lack of appropriate conceptual model and failure to evaluate alternative conclusions
Lack of Baseline and Background Data, specifically related to methane and other natural occurring organic and inorganic compounds, and failure to include and account for local USGS data showing historically poor regional groundwater quality
Analytical Concerns Leading to Incorrect Conclusions, including detections of compounds of concern in quality assurance/quality control blank samples, poor correspondence between analytical standards and test samples, and utilization of unapproved methods and procedures
Serious Errors in the Construction, Development and Sampling of Monitoring Wells, the agency drilled two new monitoring wells into known gas producing formations (deeper than any nearby domestic wells) and used this well data to support numerous, key conclusions; in addition multiple concerns regarding the appropriate construction and development of these wells that could potentially explain results EPA interpreted as contamination due to hydraulic fracturing procedures
Lack of Suitable Samples, as only four samples – two from each of the two new monitoring wells – were used to support the bulk of the EPA's conclusions
No Source Identification, as the EPA never addressed the original complaints from the residents as to the source of the bad tasting, and foul smelling drinking water produced from the residential wells
SSP&A concludes, "EPA's study design was not sufficient to gather the data, nor draw the conclusions it asserts." EPA must conduct additional work to draw any conclusions related to potential contamination in this area. This work would have to include additional well development and sampling, based on an improved study design that accounts for the hydrogeologic conditions of the sampling area, realistic potential migration pathways and the presence of pre-existing, naturally occurring petroleum compounds and other constituents. Ultimately, this EPA study – and any future studies – must be held to the highest scientific standard, utilize proper scientific methods, and not be released to the public prematurely.
In reviewing the EPA report, SSP&A also reviewed, all available information posted to the EPA Pavillion website, and pertinent information provided by the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality. It should be noted that at the time the SSP&A report was published, the EPA was still responding to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by SSP&A in early 2012.

Seven Uniforms
by Sanjit Dhillon [Photography]
Originally presented as an accordion-fold photo book, Seven Uniforms depicts a series of boiler suits photographed to show the varying levels of use and dishevelment from being worn on a regular basis. The final image in the series is a photograph of my father wearing one of the uniforms to challenge the sterility and indexicality of the series. The resistance to impersonalness stems from my familial relation to labour as many of my relatives have spent decades working in factory environments to provide for their families. The result of the arduous and physically exhaustive hours are now manifesting in an array of illnesses and disabilities as they age. There is also a resistance to separate the worker from their labour as for many machine operators – like my father – are trained to produce specific parts that are then shipped elsewhere to be assembled in automotive engines, and then placed into vehicles by another party. The levels of detachment from the final product produces a sense of abstraction for the worker who has no authorship over their work and products created.
While the series has been reimagined for print, the original photo book was a series of seven images to signify the number of days in a factory workweek.

• The usefulness of a special audiometric test battery was analyzed in relation to overall and individual test efficiency for the diagnosis of retrocochlear disease. Data were collected and analyzed from 118 patients with 121 surgically confirmed acoustic neuromas and were compared with an earlier report of 200 similar cases. While audiologic testing plays a major role in the identification of retrocochlear disease, the test battery is not highly efficient. Eleven percent of our neuromas had no audiologic signs and, therefore, escaped audiologic detection. The efficiency of individual tests range from 47% to 77%, while the difference in efficiency between the tone-decay test (77%) and the entire battery (89%) indicates the continued need for more than one test. The low efficiency of some of the components justifies reappraisal and revision of the present test battery.

This quote from a Redskins linebacker on why he plays the game so hard is absolutely insane
By Christopher Powers
To play linebacker in the NFL, you have to have a few screws loose (see: Lawrence Taylor, Bill Romanowski, Brian Bosworth, etc.). Sure, you're often delivering the punishment to opposing quarterbacks, receivers, running backs and tight ends, but that doesn't mean you're not taking some of it as well. These guys are getting in the equivalent of multiple car crashes every Sunday. Just ask former Carolina Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly, who walked away from the game in his prime after suffering a number of concussions and other injuries during his time in the NFL.
RELATED: New York Jet Jamal Adams wants no part of playing for the New York Jets
By the sound of it, Washington Redskins linebacker Ryan Anderson doesn't share the same concerns over playing the position as Kuechly does. In fact, he embraces those concerns, so much so that he delivered this absolutely insane quote about why he plays the game so hard:
Ummmm, ok then. Apparently, Anderson said this in private to former teammate Garrett Hudson. Hudson relayed the story on the Redskins brawl podcast while discussing Anderson's penchant for spearing him during practices.
"Of the people that were on the team when I was there in 2018, I don't think anybody hits harder than Ryan Anderson" Hudson said. "I've heard him call himself the billygoat, the bulldog and the ram. And he would frequently yell those things at me after he would spear me in the chest."
The hard hits prompted Hudson to ask Anderson directly: why are you hitting me so hard?
"I remember a conversation in the hot tub after practice and I was like, 'Dude, why are you going so hard all the time?' And, this is a quote, this is verbatim, he said, 'If I can remember my grandkids' names then I didn't play the game right.' So he is a lunatic. He has the mentality to play the inside linebacker position."
Yep, lunatic is a fair description. Hey, if that's how Anderson wants to play, that's how he wants to play. But for the sake of his grandchildren and for the sake of his own brain let's hope he makes cleaner, form tackles going forward (unlike this one).

Brexit: Can London make good on 'no deal' threat?
Frustrated by the stalled Brexit talks, British Prime Minister Theresa May has informed the House of Commons that the government has earmarked 250 million pounds to prepare the country for exiting the EU without a deal if necessary. Commentators examine the dangers of this scenario.
The Independent (GB) / 15 October 2017
The British are bluffing and the EU knows it
London's ultimatum is an empty threat that won't have the desired effect, the Independent fears:
"There is not a single credible study which suggests a cliff-edge Brexit would be anything but a total disaster for the UK economy - and an event many times more destructive for us than the EU. ... It's hard to see other countries falling over themselves to do major new trade deals with a nation that has shown itself willing to behave in such a way. In short, there's no 'mutually assured destruction' to concentrate the minds of the other side. Most of the UK's no deal 'missiles' are pointed at the UK itself. And that's perfectly obvious to the EU side. "
Ben Chu
De Volkskrant (NL) / 16 October 2017
De Persgroep Nederland
Pull yourselves together!
Both sides must pull their socks up and free the negotiations from the current impasse, De Volkskrant writes irrately:
"In view of the time pressure one can only hope that the EU leaders will extend [Chief Brexit Negotiator] Barnier's mandate to overcome the stalemate. And the Brits will have to get things straightened out at home as well. Prime Minister May's cabinet is composed in such a way that the EU has no idea where it stands or what London wants. Although May is seeking a soft Brexit she is continually being torpedoed by radical Brexiteers who apparently believe that no deal is the best result. ... And another danger is that nationalist romantics like [Foreign Secretary] Boris Johnson will continue to spread fairy tales about the land of milk and honey Britain will supposedly turn into once it leaves the EU."

If you are looking for world class adventure on land *and* the sea, the Central Coast of California is hard to beat. Here is how we spent a week of outdoor adventure, food and fun.
First things first, you need an epic road tripping rig, especially for bombing sand dunes and the unmaintained forest roads of Big Sur. We went with the awesome 4x4 Jeep from Pacific Overlander, complete with a rooftop tent. It was a beast!
No visit to the Central Coast should go without a trip to the Channel Island National Park, and there is perhaps no more breathtaking way to experience them than by Kayaking Santa Cruz Island, the largest of the islands.
The crossing to the Islands is spectacular in and of itself so board early for the best seats. If you're lucky, you'll see several species of marine birds and mammals as you push through the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. Keep your camera handy. You never know when a friendly pod of dolphins will come say hi!

How can they end the epsiode with 'I will make you fall for me' and then decide not to air the drama for the next few weeks !! No preview for next episode yet?? I hope he becomes a cool/suave dude in his attempt to woo her lol! I wanna see more passionate scenes between the 2 Loving the bts vids! They all share such a great rapport it's so nice to see! Bunch of dorks!
True the secretary is a mystery! Hopefully they're doing this in order to help SG! I'm sure the little girl is oh sol because by this point he already has mysophobia so she isn't the reason for it! They're probably showing it to show us the 2 main leads have a history as well and not just CG and oh sol! And he started smiling when she was jumping up and down same as when he does it for present oh sol! She's the only one who can make him smile!
Why oh why couldn't they just get her friend with Dr Daniel rather than have him like Oh sol! She seems to be looking for a boyfriend so they should have paired those 2 together rather than this love triangle! Didn't they say he was just gunna help her and not be a love interest? Also why do I feel like he purposely put her cleaning fairy clothes out so her dad could see them in order for her to quit? Otherwise how could he have known that the dad found out?? Loved the umbrella scene ofcourse! I think I've found my new display picture if I'm allowed to use the umbrella gif @Jemrie @Jillia The fila product placement though hahha didn't even try to hide that! Overall great episodes balanced and well paced! Coming to the preview I thought secretary kwon was a nice person! Is she trying to get oh sol kicked out as per orders of the grandfather??! But why!
Ahhhhhh 2nd lead syndrome is kicking in! But I love her interactions with both and they're both decent guys! I'm already heartbroken for Dr choi as we know he won't get the girl aha! Aawww and the fall! So he didn't faint from that but the cloth that fell after! Mr jang the lovesick puppy so cute!
It's stable so that's the main thing! But I also hope it does hit atleast 5% in the near future!
Found a gif of this scene my fav!!! Hahaha seunkyeuls face!!!
Agree with all these points! Getting drunk nearly every ep just starts to get boring after a while as well! Decent eps but some scenes are still abit draggy! Fav scene was when seun kyeol kept spraying oh sol in the face when she visited him in the hospital! The face expressions he made were hilarious! I need a gif or a video of it lol. The kiss scene and then him fainting after reminded me of the man who came from the star! Whenever do min joon and cheong yi would kiss he would get a fever and collapse somewhat similar here haha! Would like to see more of her friend and her storyline she's quite funny! She has a love line with oh dol? Seems abit weird! Would like to see more of song jae rim's character also! This will help the scenes to be less dragging! Ever since oh sol came seun kyeol has gotten worse with the OCD I wonder how she will help him get over it?
Just seen the 1st episode it was decent! It wasn't boring but some scenes did drag! I actually didn't mind bogum's hair but I didn't like that shk's hair is too short :/ if they wanted it short shoulder length would have been better! Fav scene was the sleeping on shoulder one it was cute and their little 'date night' was sweet. She was already doing things she wouldn't do within 5 mins of meeting him! He will definitely break down the walls she has put up! But him grinning every 5 secs was abit :/ it was too much! And her talking about the photo and how he wouldn't have had that picture in his hotel was quite snooty although probably unintentional but I didn't like that comment. Overall Good episode will wait for 2nd ep to be subbed! Also am I the only who was hoping they didn't meet at the airport? They should have left it at him waiting for her and then he leaves... And then meet in Korea at the conference/meeting thing(saw a clip of ep2) without him knowing who she was? It would have been abit more impactful! Or is that too cliched? Lol P.s Great ratings for 1st episode!!
This is such a feel good drama love it! One of my fav funny scenes of episode 2 is when she tells him off in front of his car!! The faces she makes and then the way she walks off is hilarious!! I'm assuming the reason jsk has germaphobia is because of the grandad!! The grandad wanted him to be neat and clean and so in order to impress his grandad he probably tried his best to be as clean as he could but I guess his grandad never acknowledged him! So his need to be clean just went to the extreme level that he now has mysophobia!? Poor guy! The bickering between the cleaning fairies and gil oh sol's bro and his friend is gunna be so fun to watch not to mention gil oh sol and jsk!! Now that she'll be working there more fun moments to come! I'm loving the rollercoaster of emotions in each ep! Can't wait for next week! P.s now that we know yks can sing as well I hope both him and kyj sing an ost for the drama!


Bill S-5, which purports to "lay the groundwork for future regulation on plain packaging", recently passed the first of a three-reading process in the Senate. The bill provides the governor in council with the power to make regulations establishing the plain and standardised packaging measures proposed by Health Canada's consultation document and addresses key concerns raised by stakeholders during the consultation period.
Bill S-5 recently passed the first of a three-reading process in the Senate. Key changes of particular interest to brand owners whose trademarks are in use in the marketplace include the repeal of provisions which allowed the use of a colouring agent to depict a trademark on a tobacco product and the addition of a section which prohibits the promotion of a tobacco product by using terms, expressions, logos, symbols or illustrations that are prohibited by the regulations.
Some of the top highlights from Canadian IP law and practice of 2015 include the conclusion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations, amendments to the Patent Act and the Trademarks Act providing a statutory privilege for confidential communications with patent and trademark agents and new Patent Office guidance on diagnostic method and medical use claims.
Can a book on a dark and dusty shelf in a public library render a patent obvious? In a recent decision the Federal Court of Appeal noted that none of the parties had made any submissions regarding whether codification of the test for obviousness changed the test for determining what documents would be included as part of the relevant prior art. In the absence of such submissions, the court applied the 'reasonably diligent search' test.

Man of Steel IMAX Remaster Is Worth a Look in Zack Snyder's Opinion
A Man of Steel IMAX remaster is not out of the cards according to director Zack Snyder. The filmmaker introduced us to what we now know as the DCEU back in 2013 with the solo Superman flick, featuring Henry Cavill as the beloved superhero. Now, nearly eight years later, Snyder thinks it may be time to revisit the movie and give it an update.
Zack Snyder is currently finishing up the "Snyder Cut" of Justice League, which is set to premiere on HBO Max later this year as a four-part miniseries. Not only that but the filmmaker is also currently working on a new version of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, remastered for IMAX. During a recent interview, Snyder was asked about doing the same thing for Man of Steel at some point. Here's what he had to say about it.
RELATED: Man of Steel Pod Mystery Will Be Addressed in Zack Snyder's Justice League
"I think it's worth a look, it probably does need a remaster. It's been a while since we've taken a look at it."
Doing an IMAX remaster for Man of Steel wouldn't be nearly as extensive at what is being done for Zack Snyder's Justice League. That is a $70 million investment. What is being proposed is going through the movie and restoring the IMAX aspect ratio. That may lead to some tweaks as well but it wouldn't be a big-budget undertaking. Speaking further, Snyder explained how the BvS remaster came to be.
"BvS happened because we had noticed that there was a color mistake in one of the releases of Batman v Superman. We just looked into it and I was like, 'Hey, what happened?' I guess it's a technical snafu but I was like, 'This is a great opportunity for us to go back and fix it and do the IMAX release and let everybody see every bit of it, see the whole movie."
Man of Steel first hit theaters in summer 2013. This was a radically different time for DC Films, and the superhero movie landscape in general. The Dark Knight Returns had come out the year prior, wrapping up Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Warner Bros. then decided to give Superman a new solo movie that would ultimately pave the way for a shared universe, something that could hopefully mirror what Disney had accomplished with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The road was a bit rocky on that front, at least to start.
The movie was met with a somewhat mixed critical response upon arrival, ultimately earning $668 million at the global box office. Then came Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which brought Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne into the fold. Justice League soon followed and the drama that came with it. In the years since, the studio has largely moved on from the "Snyderverse," though some fans have called for a return to that version of the franchise. Zack Snyder's Justice League is expected to debut sometime in March. You can check out the full interview from the ComicBook Debate YouTube channel.

From 23 to 27 April 2018 NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will be exhibiting its innovative drive solutions for digital factories of the future at the Hannover Fair 2018. These include NORDAC LINK decentralised field distributors, smart drives with Cloud links for predictive maintenance, as well as LogiDrive - the efficient drive solution for intralogistics that offers a reduction of the number of versions. A PROFIsafe interface module ensures even greater safety in production.
The Hannover Fair is the world's leading industrial exhibition. Under the motto "Get new technology first", this year more than 5000 exhibitors are presenting their innovations, including the North German drive manufacturer NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, who will be presenting its smart solutions in Hall 15 on Stand H31. The company will also be displaying its latest technologies for the logistics industry at the CeMAT exhibition in Hall 21 on Stand C33.
The components which will be exhibited include the NORDAC LINK series field distributor for applications in modern, networked intralogistics systems. This drive control for flexible close-to-the-motor installation is available as a frequency inverter (up to 7.5 kW) or a motor starter (up to 3 kW) and enables rapid commissioning, simple operation and maintenance. Thanks to an integrated PLC and compatibility with all common bus systems, the freely configurable field distributor can be easily integrated into all modern automation systems.
Networked NORD drive units communicate their status data via the control system or directly into a secure Cloud communication. Among other things, this enables predictive maintenance – from conveyor drives up to industrial gear units. Recording of the performance data also enables optimal dimensioning of the system as well as continuous condition monitoring of the drives. With this, NORD supplies intelligent drive technology for digitalised production in Industry 4.0. With the example of an industrial gear unit application, the company demonstrates possible predictive maintenance solutions especially for this group of products.
In addition to intelligent networking in drive technology, and particularly in intralogistics, special economical solutions are also often required which for example can achieve savings through a reduced number of versions. With its LogiDrive systems, NORD provides efficient and maintenance-friendly plug&play technology. This consists of standardised versions with IE4 geared motors at rated powers of up to 5.5 kW, a two-stage helical bevel gear unit and a frequency inverter - a combination that ensures optimisation of processes and costs.
A further important element in modern production is the functional safety of plant and machinery. With the SK TU4-PNS PROFIsafe interface module, NORD provides even greater safety. The optional module meets the most stringent safety requirements, enables flexible integration of various safety components and ensures secure communication in PROFINET environments.

I was about to leave for a day of sales at the Flea Market one Friday, when I received an email about a depressed cat that was an owner surrender at an under funded, high Kill shelter, about an hour away. I had no intention of adding another pet, however, when I took a look at the photo of the "depressed cat", I knew instantly that I had to rescue her. You see, her photo really tugged at my heart because she looked exactly like my late beloved "Pandora". I had no idea what I would name her, but somehow knew that once I laid eyes upon her in person, I would be able to find the right one for her. When I met her, I couldn't believe how much she looked like Pandora. In the car, on the ride to the vet, I named her "Angelina" - this seemed just right and so fitting for her. I had no idea what the name meant - other than an Angel. I learned that "Angelina" also means "Heavenly Messenger" and is Greek, as is Pandora. Perhaps she is Pandora's messenger from above.
I just adore Angelina and although it is sad that those who raised her from 6 weeks, decided that she was disposable after 6 years. I am so grateful that the universe put us together.

BlackRock Founder Keith Anderson Takes $35M Haul in Central Park West Co-op Sale
By Morgan Halberg • 02/01/16 2:23pm
Keith and Peggy Anderson have sold their Central Park West co-op for the princely sum of $35 million. (Photo by J. Grassi/Patrick McMullan)
The ultra-luxe condo market may be slumping, but perhaps 2016 really will be the year of the co-op resale.
At least, it will be a banner year for billionaire George Soros's former chief investment officer and BlackRock co-founder Keith Anderson.
Mr. Anderson and his wife, Peggy, bought five-bedroom, 5.5-bath Central Park West co-op for $12.2 million in 2003, which they recently spruced up with a three-year renovation by Shelton, Mindel & Associates. The must have been impressed with the results, as they listed the apartment for a staggering $42 million in February last year—just a few months after it was announced that Mr. Anderson was shutting down his own fund, Anderson Global Macro LLC, after less than three years.
So they didn't get the full $42 million, but considering the comparatively paltry amount the Andersons paid for the place, the $35.34 millionthat they did collect is pretty impressing. The listing, held by Sotheby's Randall Gianopulos and Serena Boardman, was last asking $38 million, and was scooped up by an entity currently known as 101 CPW-9B LLC—looks like at least some co-ops are easing up a bit on their LLC policy.
Oh, there's a pool table. (Sotheby's)
The apartment has the obligatory "vast expanse" of Central Park views—"100 linear feet"! as the listing promises. There's also a wood-burning fireplace and a planting terrace, as well as a playroom, staff room, dining room and library. The new residents of 101 Central Park West also have the pleasure of living in the same building once inhabited by Harrison Ford and former Mayor Michael Bloomberg's daughter, Georgina. Though we might not know much about the new owners other than the fact that they live on the ninth floor of 101 Central Park West, they did manage to get the board of a co-op to allow them to buy in an LLC, which the listing declares would be allowed on a case-by-case basis.
