Introducing David Simor, TCAT's New Director
This week, after 13 years at the helm, Nancy Smith Lea passes the torch to David Simor as the new Director of TCAT.
David is an accomplished network builder with senior management experience in the active transportation non-profit sector, both locally and internationally. With a passion for building vibrant, diverse and sustainable cities, we are delighted that David has chosen to bring his positive energy and creative approach to TCAT.
"In my city-building community-based work over the past 10 years, I have admired the crucial and invaluable role TCAT plays in sparking projects and policies that support healthy, vibrant communities, and advancing priorities that are key to achieving an equitable future. Building on this strong foundation, I am thrilled to have this opportunity to lead and grow TCAT." David Simor
This is an important milestone moment for TCAT. The global events of the past 18 months have underscored the incredible potential for walking and cycling to transform people's lives and their communities. The COVID-19 pandemic has also accentuated that access to safe and reliable transportation disproportionately affects racialized people who live outside downtown cores. An equitable framework informed by social justice is needed to extend the benefits of active transportation.
Municipalities everywhere are looking to build back better, and to support pandemic recovery by ensuring our communities are safe, inclusive and joyous places to walk and bike. At TCAT we look forward to remaining a trusted partner in that important work which aligns with our strategic priorities, including:
to create and disseminate new knowledge to support informed decision-making that leads to on-the-ground change
to inspire and engage communities about the potential of active transportation to transform people's lives and in co-designing safe streets for all
to support municipalities to activate and advance their goals for active and sustainable transportation and take bold climate action
to advance an equitable framework informed by social justice to extend the benefits of active transportation
With this momentum underway, thankfully it's not a final farewell to Nancy who has taken on a new adjunct role at TCAT as Senior Advisor, and she will continue as theme co-lead on the Mobilizing Justice research partnership.
"It's been an honour to lead TCAT over the past 13 years and to be one of the co-founders two years prior to that. Thank you so much to my fabulous team and collaborators, past and present. Together we are making a difference, and I am confident even more progress is to come." Nancy Smith Lea
Please join us in welcoming David Simor as TCAT's New Director!

Freeland man serves aboard U.S. warship
Robert ZahnNavy Office of Community Outreach

James Liss
SASEBO, Japan - Seaman James Liss, a native of Freeland, wanted to carry on a proud family tradition of serving in the Navy. His father and uncle both served before him.
Now, one year later and half a world away, Liss serves aboard one of the Navy's most advanced amphibious ships at Fleet Activities Sasebo, patrolling one of the world's busiest maritime regions as part of U.S. 7th Fleet.
"The work is stressful and it's got its ups and downs but the perks of being in a foreign country is great," Liss said.
Liss, a 2014 graduate of Bay City Western High School, is a culinary specialist aboard the forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS Wasp in Sasebo, Japan.
"I'm one of the chefs on board so my main job is to cook three meals a day for the crew," he said.
Liss credits some success in the Navy to lessons learned in Freeland.
"I believe the Navy has changed me because we work all the time and I believe that once I go back into the civilian world, it'll be a piece of cake," he said.
U.S. 7th Fleet spans more than 124 million square kilometers, stretching from the International Date Line to the India/Pakistan border; and from the Kuril Islands in the north to the Antarctic in the south. U.S. 7th Fleet's area of operations encompasses 36 maritime countries and 50 percent of the world's population with between 50-70 U.S. ships and submarines, 140 aircraft, and about 20,000 sailors.
"We travel all over being deployed here so that is a plus," Liss said. "We recently visited Singapore and the Philippines."
With more than 50 percent of the world's shipping tonnage and a third of the world's crude oil passing through the region, the United States has historic and enduring interests in that part of the world. The Navy's presence in Sasebo is part of that long-standing commitment.
"The Navy is forward deployed to provide security and strengthen relationships in a free and open Indo-Pacific. It's not just the ships and aircraft that have shown up to prevent conflict and promote peace," said Vice Adm. Phil Sawyer, commander, U.S. 7th Fleet. "It is, and will continue to be our people who define the role our Navy plays around the world. People who've made a choice, and have the will and strength of character to make a difference."
Wasp, one of the Navy's most advanced amphibious ships, is designed to deliver Marines and their equipment where they are needed to support a variety of missions ranging from amphibious assaults to humanitarian relief efforts.
Sailors' jobs are highly varied aboard USS Wasp. More than 1,000 men and women make up the ship's crew, which keeps all parts of the ship running smoothly, from handling weapons to maintaining the engines. An additional 1,200 Marines can be embarked. USS Wasp is capable of transporting Marines and landing them where they are needed using helicopters, vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and other water-to-shore landing craft.
These ships support missions from sea to shore, special operations and other warfare missions. They also serve as secondary aviation platforms. Because of their inherent capabilities, these ships have been and will continue to be called upon to support humanitarian and other contingency missions on short notice, according to Navy officials.
Serving in the Navy means Liss is part of a world that is taking on new importance in America's focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy.
A key element of the Navy the nation needs is tied to the fact that America is a maritime nation, and that the nation's prosperity is tied to the ability to operate freely on the world's oceans. More than 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water; 80 percent of the world's population lives close to a coast; and 90 percent of all global trade by volume travels by sea.
"Our priorities center on people, capabilities and processes, and will be achieved by our focus on speed, value, results and partnerships," said Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer. "Readiness, lethality and modernization are the requirements driving these priorities."
There are many ways for sailors to earn distinction in their command, community, and career. Liss is most proud of graduating boot camp and culinary specialist "A" school.
"To me it was tough, but after I got over the tough times, I completely took over myself and started to notice I took control and started to advance in my naval career," Liss said. "I fought through everything which is good because I didn't think I was going to make it out of boot camp."
Liss and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes.
"Serving in the Navy means showing up to work every day and feeding those who help keep us alive," Liss said. "I feel like I'm part of the bigger mission."

Oh Wow where do I start? ETT is an Ethiopian owned company and was the very first operator to do tours to the Danakil Depression 15 Years ago Danakil en Erta Ale Volcano was only reachable by helicopter. Today we have 4×4 vehicles taking you all over the salt pans and sulphur lakes through the Danakil Depression. You walk up the volcano cause not reachable by car. Or you can go up on a camel. With ETT there is always a choice. We cover the Land of Ethiopia From Danakil Depression to the Omo Valley where you can visit the tribes and the tribal way of living. We take you to the Arc of Covenant and the Tigray Rock Churches. ETT takes you up the Simien and Bale Mountains and through the valleys of this land.
We have our own well trained tour guides and drivers. We are the proud owners of a fleet of 4×4″s. 27 of them. All models, shapes and sizes.
Come and enjoy the journey through this amazing piece of land!!!
Ethiopian flights will give domestic discount not sure if it makes a difference, I flew with discounted lufhtansa and booked domestic to Mek'ele on my arrival, don't take the bus, also ring EET for airport transfers they will do that cheaper than airport taxes, simca results are free from EET offices.
Don't stuff yourself full on the Tour as toilets are rare.
Drones are not legal in Ethi but it's a 50:50 risk being confiscated.
Loose light material and slip on shoes/closed shoes hat are recommended.


1. It starts out as a "little horn," smaller than the other horns"
"Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."
2. It arises "after them" but "among them". "Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings."
3. It becomes "more stout than his fellows, thus the other powers" "Daniel 7:20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows."
4. It is "diverse from the first, thus the kingdom it came out from" "Daniel 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings."
5. He has "eyes like the eyes of man," signifying man's wisdom. "Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."
6. He "shall subdue three kings," and pluck "three of the first horns… by the roots," "Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings."
7. He "shall speak great words against the most High" thus shall blaspheme God Almighty. "Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. 7:20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."
8. And he makes "war with the saints," "shall wear out the saints," and "prevailed against them," thus God's people will persecuted and killed by this evil power. "Daniel 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."
9. And "think to change times and laws," "Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."
10. They "shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." Thus 1260 days in Bible prophecy which is 1260 years because a day stands for 1 year in prophecy(Ezekiel 4:6, Numbers 14:34). "Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."
11. This power will last until it is "destroyed" just before God sets up His kingdom. This power will be ended when the Christ kingdom, represented as the stone comes and will destroy the earthly kingdom and set up a kingdom which shall never end or be destroyed.
The only power which fits all these identifying marks is the Roman Catholic Church system, which rose to prominence as the Roman empire declined, and which enjoyed a special influence over the minds of men between the sixth and eighteenth centuries.
"Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities."

The Importance of Client-Contractor Relationships
Couple gets second chance at business success


The details discussed were executed without any problems. Joshua did a super job working with me on the new vehicle as well as the trade in.
It has been over 20 years since I had to buy a vehicle and this car lot made it easy. Chad was my salesman and he worked with me and made it so easy. I did not know that there were used car salesmen that cared about their customers, but I found out today that there are some very nice and kind used car salesmen. If ever I need another car it will come from these guys.
Steve was our salesman. He was cocky, rude, and didn't know his product. The manager was even more clueless. I told them it needed an alignment and they swore it drove perfect. I told them there was something wrong with the exhaust and they said that was done to look like that on purpose. I asked about the tires before I took the 2 hr drive and they said they were brand new. When I saw them I questioned the man's eyesight. I knew all this wasn't true, but I wanted the car so I let them talk their bs. Got home, brought it to the mechanic and guess what!? It needs an alignment, a control arm, new tires, and its actually been in some type of accident that wasn't on the carfax, this is why the exhaust wasn't right. The rotors and breaks will need to be replaced very soon as well. All this is fine and good, we new we were buying a used car and we could see the problems they were to inexperienced to notice. We had figured up in our head what the cost would be to fix these things and haggled them down $1700. Can I just say how much I loath the haggling game? To top it off we had left and they had agreed on numbers finally. So we had to drive 40 minutes back. We told them we were in a hurry (and we had a preapproval so not much work on there part) and when we got there it took another hour to finish everything. For such a large lot I was surprised to find out they had to send the car off to get the inspection. We finally left and after all this, you know what makes me the most angry? They said it had been serviced, and that was a lie too. We had to pay for an oil change when we got back home. They know nothing about the cars they're selling. They just want your money. Typical!

Timing may remain the key to comedy, but knowing your audience and connecting with it continues to rank right up there with it.
To see Mike Birbiglia in his Broadway debut of The New One, I brought a comedian who not only has performed with Birbiglia, but also is a father. That comic told me afterward that Birbiglia captured the essence of new fatherhood perfectly; both the wonder of it all, as well as the helplessness of feeling part of yet outside the bond between mother and child.
Birbigs is friends and frequent collaborators with This American Life's Ira Glass (Glass is an executive producer of The New One), and it shows in the comedian's evolution from Two Drink Mike to storyteller. The New One may be Birbiglia's Broadway debut, but he tested this show on the road for almost two years, and he previously worked his like and jokes into tours and off-Broadway runs for Sleepwalk With Me, My Girlfriend's Boyfriend and Thank God For Jokes. He also adapted Sleepwalk With Me into a movie, and recorded Thank God For Jokes as a Netflix special.
At first, I viewed his repackaging of jokes as an inherent weakness. As if doing so might be considered lazy. But now, with time and perspective, I can appreciate the ability to recognize how a punchline or a premise can have even more punch when reworked or fit into a larger narrative.
In The New One, he even manages to neatly summarize and recap Sleepwalk With Me in about five minutes for his Broadway audiences who may not already have heard any of it before.
Where he's at now (or more precisely, what happened in the past few years) is the realization that everything he and his wife thought they'd decided about not having kids would be upended. Whether that's due to societal pressure, actual peer pressure, biological clocks, or whatnot may become beside the point once your own life partner has a change of heart.
Birbiglia lets down any guard he might have with us, the audience, speaking in brutally honest terms about his feelings on parenthood, why he might not be suited to the task, and his frankly embarrassing sexual history.
There are moments where, in the wake of #MeToo and #TimesUp, Birbiglia also comes to terms with the failings of men in general, and perhaps himself specifically. Why dads become deadbeats. Whether the best a man can do is behave decently. These ain't exactly laugh out loud moments, here. And arguing that decent is the best any man can do sounds like a cop out. Moreover, I wonder if an audience that's not quite as privileged as Birbiglia would consider these life decisions in quite the same way he does.
But it's his story, told truly (we suspect), as he grapples with his own humanity, his own imperfections and the ultimate test of his love and marriage. The idea that nothing will change once they become parents, and yet everything changes when a baby enters the picture.
And it's done with lots and lots of jokes. That's another thing he shares with his fellow Georgetown comedy alums and friends Nick Kroll and John Mulaney, having seen them take their own Oh, Hello! act, from clubs to tours to Broadway.
No need to worry about Birbiglia just yet. His wife, the poet Jennifer Hope Stein, gets into the act, with Birbiglia reading several of her poems out of a notebook. She gets it, even if it takes him longer to figure out his place in their new world order.
each time she reaches, not realizing she is crawling for the first time.
She is just like her father.
Mike Birbiglia's The New One runs through Jan. 20, 2019, at The Cort Theatre.

3 June – 11 October 2015
Agnes Martin (1912-2004) at Tate Modern is the first major retrospective exhibition, since her death, of one of the most esteemed artists of the 20th century. Her works are composed of the simplest formal elements – ruled pencil lines and a limited number of forms, including grids, stripes and, occasionally, circles, triangles and squares, painted in a reduced palette on square canvases. The austere painting anticipated and helped to define minimalism. The stillness achieved in artistic terms is the polar opposite of the severe psychological crises that characterised her personal life. In late 1961, following a catatonic episode in New York, she was admitted to hospital and diagnosed with schizophrenia. She had the condition intermittently for the rest of her life, much of which was spent in the American South-west. In Taos, New Mexico, she led a solitary existence, claiming that she painted with her back to the world. At the time of her death, aged 92, it is said that she had not read a newspaper in half a century.
Martin's personal life played a significant role in the choices she made as an artist, so it is fitting that, to coincide with the Tate retrospective, Thames and Hudson has published a superb new study by Nancy Princenthal, Agnes Martin: Her Life and Art. For those familiar with Princenthal's writing, it will come as no surprise that the study of Martin is difficult to put down, based as it is on great insight into the artist's life and the greater issues that pertain to a female artist of her generation. Eleanor Heartney's 2007 book After the Revolution: Women Who Transformed Contemporary Art has also become an indispensable publication for any scholar or artist trying to achieve a well-balanced view of culture and art practice since 1970. The Deconstructive Impulse: Women Artists Reconfigure the Signs of Power 1973–1991, (2011), edited by Princenthal, in keeping with its excellent title, progresses the debate at a profound level, enabling further access to the careers of key women artists.
In her introduction to Agnes Martin, Princenthal defines abstraction poignantly in the context of the Tate exhibition: "To be abstracted is to be some distance from the material world. It is a form of local exaltation but also, sometimes, of disorientation, even disturbance." Martin did not achieve recognition until she was in her 40s. The curators, Frances Morris from Tate Modern and Tiffany Bell have set out to redress the fact that Martin is a major, but underrepresented, artist, who is not well known in Europe. The exhibition is the latest in a series
of important exhibitions of the work of female artists at Tate Modern, which has included Eva Hesse in 2002, Frida Kahlo in 2005, Louise Bourgeois and Doris Salcedo in 2007, Yayoi Kusama in 2012, Saloua Raouda Choucair and Mira Schendel in 2013, and Marlene Dumas
and Sonia Delaunay in 2015. A superb, fully illustrated catalogue accompanies the Martin retrospective: a scholarly appraisal of her career.
The Tate Modern exhibition spans Martin's career from the early 50s to the last drawing made before her death. She destroyed a great deal of her earlier work, and throughout her career was a severe critic of her own work, discarding any she was not completely satisfied with. Irrespective of her vulnerability, in artistic terms she was exacting and forceful.
She was born in a prairie farming community in Saskatchewan, western Canada, in 1912, the same year as Jackson Pollock and John Cage, both of whom would come to represent key aspects of her sensibility. Martin's parents (whose own parents had migrated from Scotland) took up land in what would become the township of Macklin, around 1906, when a great wave of settlers arrived from the UK and the US. The frontier mentality evolved from the anxiety of moving to an alien world and from the dashed hopes brought by farming failures, poverty and extreme isolation. Martin was one of four children. Her father died when she was three, shortly before her younger brother was born. Their existence became even tougher as their mother sought to raise the family single-handed; their life also became increasingly peripatetic, marked by resilience and resourcefulness, qualities that would come to characterise the artist's own adult life. There is little doubt that Martin's visionary work developed in response to the almost abstract landscape of the prairie and to the harsh reality of pioneer life. When, in 1967 she left New York on an extended road trip, ceasing to paint for a number of years, before settling outside Taos (where she had worked as a teacher in the 50s), she was choosing an austere and rigorous life dictated by the environment and defined by the elements. Georgia O'Keeffe had already famously moved to New Mexico by 1940 and other artists and writers, such as DH Lawrence, Edward Hopper and Mark Rothko, had chosen to visit and live there. A mystical life was sought in New Mexico, for some a poetic life, but there also co-existed among the artists and writers there, a strong sense of sense of self and of artistic purpose.
In 1989, Martin recalled: "When I first made a grid, I happened to be thinking of the innocence of trees and then this grid came into my mind and I thought it represented innocence, and I still do, and so I painted it and then
I was satisfied. I thought, 'This is my vision.'" I have quoted David Shi's, The Simple Life previously for essays and lectures on minimalism, and I continue to choose to quote him in the manner in which the author identifies the roots of minimalism in American life:
"Though a failure as a societal ethic, simplicity has nevertheless exercised a powerful influence on the complex patterns of American culture. As a myth of national purpose and as a program for individual conduct, the simple life has been a perennial dream and a rhetorical challenge, displaying an indestructible vitality even in the face of repeated defeats. It has, in a sense, served as the nation's conscience, reminding Americans of what the founders had hoped they would be and thereby providing a vivifying counterpoint to the excesses of materialist individualism."1
Tate Modern's exhibition confirms Martin as one of the foremost painters of the 20th century. It traces her career from early experiments to her final works in 2004. She established her career as an artist in New York, living in the Coenties Slip neighbourhood alongside fellow artists Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Indiana and Lenore Tawney. The exhibition reveals Martin's lesser-known early paintings and her experimental work then, including The Garden (1958). It present works in different media and formats that used found objects and geometric shapes, before she began making her visionary pencilled grids on large, square canvases. Tate Modern brings together seminal examples of these works from the 1960s, such as Friendship (1963), to the beautiful poetic works made in her old age.
By 1967, Martin had been embraced by those artists who would come to be known as minimalists. Donald Judd had reviewed two of her exhibitions. Carl Andre laid metal plates in grids on the floor that resembled Martin's paintings. In 1966, Martin was included in two early shows
of art that gathered examples of the new approach: Systemic Painting, curated by Lawrence Alloway at the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum, and 10, featuring work chosen by Robert Smithson at the Dwan Gallery. But Martin understood her work to be different and, after leaving New York, she consciously departed from minimalism: for example, her work never appeared to be industrial, in terms of the material or production, as did the work of Judd or Sol LeWitt. She continued to "hand make" her paintings, allowing slight imperfection to refer perhaps to human fallibility. Nature was always a point of reference, but not in a representational manner. Her paintings evoke thoughts or emotions beyond the physical, such as memory. She explained in an interview in the New York Times: "The value of art is in the observer. When you find out what you like, you're really finding out about yourself. Beethoven's music is joyous. If you like his music, you know that you like to be joyful. People who look at my painting say that it makes them happy, like the feeling when you wake up in the morning. And happiness is the goal, isn't it?"

This unit was all about the future tense. It discussed seven of the most commonly used future tenses. Each tense was explained, samples given, and teaching ideas presented. I had never realized just how complicated future tenses are in English. I also did not realize that we use present tenses in a "futuristic" way. It is something that I don't remember specifically learning while in school. It was great to review the tenses I remembered, learn new tenses, and think through how I could present them to students in a classroom.


Work on Chalmers Avenue is helping to give larger vehicles more room along the road, with several trees being removed from the road verges that divide the street during the past two weeks.
Ashburton District Council has been progressively taking out old flowering plum and cherry trees that had begun to encroach on the road, with other well established trees on the verges now large enough to take centre stage along the street.
Council Open Spaces Manager David Askin says the three rows of trees on each verge were planted many years ago with the intention that the smaller, flowering species on the two outer rows would be removed once the larger trees in the middle had grown big enough.
"The flowering trees are obviously quite pretty in spring, and we've enjoyed having them there, but they have passed their used-by dates, with disease and die-backs making them look worse for wear. By taking them out, it's helping to open up the road more for larger vehicles that may be getting too close for comfort trying to pass them along the street.
"We'll be planting more red oak and English lime trees to fill any larger gaps down the centre of the verges," he adds.


Fibromyalgia has varying symptoms, ranging from pain, irritable bowel syndrome, insomnia, headaches, anxiety / depression, fatigue and cognitive difficulty. The reason for this multitude of symptoms is due to fibromyalgia affecting multiple body systems.
Most patients whom have been to a physician are generally prescribed anything from pain medications to anti-psychotics. These medications are dangerous, affect people differently, cause organ damage, deplete the body's anti-oxidants and typically stop working after some time. After these drugs fail to provide sufficient pain relief, dosages are usually increased or medications are changed to another class of drug or others are added on, increasing the likelihood of drug interactions and adverse effects. Those effects can range from mild rash to death.
AZ MED CENTER only uses pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements. By using the highest quality supplements you are assured they are free from preservatives and fillers which may aggravate an already sensitive patient. When nutritional supplements are in the right form they work more efficiently with body systems, allowing the body to function at its highest level.
Fibromyalgia has been on the rise in the United States in the past few decades. This may be due to more awareness, more physicians aware of how to diagnose fibromyalgia or, due to the increase in autoimmune diseases. If you or someone you know suffers from any of these symptoms they will find relief at AZ MED CENTER.
Please share this information and let them know there is another way to treat fibromyalgia without potentially dangerous medications using a systematic approach with proven results.

ICAPE Group launches DIVSYS France
PCB supplier, ICAPE Group, is expanding its range of services with the addition a new entity with the creation of DIVSYS France, a structure dedicated to engineering, headed by Fabrice Peron.
With DIVSYS France, ICAPE says its entering a new phase of growth and bringing new solutions to its customers. Until now, the development phase was a service that could be provided by CIPEM, the group's organisation dedicated to technical parts. However, the company says that demand for the service continued to grow. "To respond to our customers, but also to go even further upstream, we decided to invest and create a dedicated structure with the capacity to offer our services from the first phase of their industrial project and to support them throughout their project, with development, prototyping, homologation, optimization, right up to the industrialization and distribution of their products," says Fabrice Peron in a press release. Christelle Bonnevie, Executive VP of CIPEM describes it as; "ICAPE and CIPEM are positioned on the industrialisation and production of our customers' projects. The objective of DIVSYS France will be to cover the entire development of the product, from design to manufacturing and delivery." DIVSYS France will thus cover all the value creation processes of complete products. "An "All-in-one" solution, capable of covering all of our customers' needs thanks to all the group's activities, and which also has the advantage of offering a single information channel, with a single point of contact for the entire project," Christelle Bonnevie continues. With this new creation, ICAPE group continues its expansion. Cyril Calvignac, CEO of ICAPE Group says that while the group is going through an exceptional growth phase, ICAPE has chosen to invest and deepen the relationship with its customers. "With DIVSYS France, we are now able to offer them new services and to accompany them from the beginning of their projects. The DIVSYS France project was launched at the best time for our customers, who have to respond to particularly strong demand. It was, therefore, important to offer all the tools and solutions necessary to bring them the benefits of our quality of service, the power of our organization on their production processes and to help them be ever more competitive," the CEO says.

Q: Typoscript: How can I get the ID of the first child page of the current page? I would like to have a link in my template to the first child page (it is a section overview page, so there will always be child pages available). The link will always have the same text.
How do I get the ID of the first child page?
pagelink = TEXT
pagelink {
    value = Link to first child page
    typolink {
        parameter = [[id of first child page]]
    }
}

A: Here is a simple solution:
pagelink = HMENU
pagelink {
    # only display if there is a subpage
    stdWrap.required = 1
    # with value directory, the default special.value is the current page id
    special = directory
    # limit to 1 page
    maxItems = 1
    # link item
    1 = TMENU
    1 {
        NO = 1
    }
}

To override the page title, use this:
pageLink = HMENU
pageLink {
    # only display if there is a subpage
    stdWrap.required = 1
    # with value directory, the default special.value is the current page id
    special = directory
    # limit to 1 page
    maxItems = 1
    # link item
    1 = TMENU
    1 {
        NO = 1
        NO {
            doNotLinkIt = 1
            stdWrap.cObject = TEXT
            stdWrap.cObject {
                typolink.parameter.field = uid
                # override text of menu item
                value = Dummy Text
            }
        }
    }
}

A: There are several ways to do it (e.g. using HMENU) but I would go for this one as it's clear and easy to modify if you once decide to make it more complex (e.g. have the page title somewhere in the text link, render thumbnail based on the media field).
pagelink = CONTENT
pagelink {
  table = pages
  select {
    pidInList = this
    orderBy = sorting ASC
    max = 1
  }
  renderObj = TEXT
  renderObj {
    value = Link to first child page
    typolink {
      parameter.field = uid
    }
  }
}

NOTES

*

*To have the page title as the text link, replace value = Link to first child page with field = title

*It will display correct link only on that overview page, not on its subpages. To display it on the subpages a different approach would have to be taken.

Dong Energy gets green light to test next generation turbines in UK
Dong Energy is to test two next generation offshore wind turbines at its Gunfleet Sands site off the eastern coast of England, following consent from the UK authorities to install the turbines.
The Gunfleet Sands 3 demonstration project, Dong Energy's first in the UK, will see two 6MW Siemens turbines tested offshore for the first time. Located 8.5km south east of Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, the demonstration project will form part of Dong's existing 172MW wind farm at the site.
The new turbines will be installed at the wind farm by November this year with construction starting in May, and will be connected through a dedicated export cable. Dong Energy will be looking to verify the performance, reliability and functionality of the turbines, which have a rotor diameter of 120 meters and a swept area of 11.500 m².
Dong said the project forms part of its drive to "industrialise" the offshore wind industry and bring down the cost of energy. The UK government is applying pressure on offshore wind operators to bring down the cost of offshore wind to £121-170/MWh, down from £191/MWh in 2010, as the UK's third round of offshore wind development gathers pace.
Morten Buchgreitz, deputy chief executive of Dong Energy said: "The Gunfleet Sands 3 demonstration project marks an important step in industry's efforts to reduce the cost of energy. The Round 3 projects in the UK are in deeper waters and will have a much bigger capacity than existing wind farms so the technology will increase in capacity as well."
He added: "Dong Energy is focused on making offshore wind more competitive and proving that these bigger turbines work will help us achieve that goal. We are very pleased to receive the consent that gives us the opportunity to state our commitment to the growing wind industry in the UK."
A prototype of the 6MW turbine is also being tested at an onshore test centre at Hovsore, Denmark.

Toughing it out
Woman says 'camaraderie in gym encourages' her to power through short, intense workouts
Leslie Barker / Tribune News Service
Lisa Terrell's appreciation for fitness used to be what she calls "seasonal." Or maybe if she had a goal she wanted to meet, she'd find a workout until she met that goal.
But Terrell said, "I didn't consistently keep going, and I easily got derailed when the weather wasn't optimal to my liking — when I planned to jog — or when there were schedule conflicts around classes I wanted to take."
Then her track-running daughter, Tatyana Terrell, began training with Bertram Lawrence Sr., a coach and owner of the Dungeon gym in Arlington, Texas, to help her with strength and conditioning.
"He always encourages entire families to participate," said Lisa Terrell, 48. That reminded her of the importance of taking care of herself. "It isn't just looking better, but feeling better with more energy, confidence, strength and focus. Plus, I didn't just want to sit around and wait for my daughter to do her workout. I joined in."
Each time she does, she feels "part of something big," Terrell said. "No matter your age or situation, Coach Lawrence can groom you from nothing. When others say you can't, that's never his final answer, and I think that's awesome."
Her workouts are short but intense, she says. "The camaraderie encourages me to keep it up. Coach Lawrence and the Dungeon have kept me pumped and motivated for over a year. Nothing else has done that for me."
Typical week of workouts: I jog or run on a treadmill three to five miles every day, and do water aerobics one to two times a week. Every day, I either do strength training with weights or plyometrics for 15 to 30 minutes at the Dungeon.
If I had just 20 minutes to work out, I would: Use that time to get a full workout at the Dungeon.
What gets in the way of my exercise? Having an overbooked and extended schedule.
Proudest fitness moment: Completing a half marathon.
Fitness goals: Increasing and improving to go longer, faster; lift heavier weights or do more reps.
Fitness mentors: Bertram Lawrence Sr. and Team Lawrence at the Dungeon.
Three things you'll always find in my refrigerator: Berries, spinach, avocados.
What I need to consume more of: Water.
What I need to cut back on: Chips. This could be a long list, but if I start with chips, I am more disciplined about the other stuff.
Favorite healthy food: Cucumbers.
Favorite indulgence: Cheese.
What I'd tell someone who wants to follow my routine: Try to get the hardest part (running or lifting weights) done early so you have the rest of the day to recover. If you can't do that, then commit to a consistent schedule to help you get started automatically.
What my workout says about me: I am committed. I tough it out.

Destroke Launches New App for Stroke Detection
October 01, 2020, 13:45 GMT
Destroke has created a new automated clinical stroke detection mobile app for patients, their loved ones, and healthcare providers to improve the way stroke is diagnosed.
Destroke is the first-ever mobile app to offer automated clinical stroke detection using the validated National Institutes of Health stroke scale
The Destroke app works by using face, speech, and motion analysis technologies to identify the signs of stroke as denoted by the NIH stroke scale, such as drooping of the mouth on one side, a telltale sign of an emergency.
Clinical Grade Test Powered by AI, Facial Recognition, will Detect Subtle Signs of Stroke Based on NIH Stroke Scale
Destroke is a new, automated way to do exactly what we do in the hospital when we see stroke patients: performing the validated National Institutes of Health stroke scale."
— Evan Noch, MD, PhD, co-founder and CEO of Destroke
NEW YORK, NY, USA, October 1, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- New York — Destroke has created a new automated clinical stroke detection mobile app for patients, their loved ones, and healthcare providers to improve the way stroke is diagnosed. By providing the same stroke scale neurologists and ER physicians use to identify stroke, the app is unique in giving patients and caregivers a first-line defense in fighting a condition that, unfortunately, is often neglected in public first-aid training.
"Destroke is a new, automated way to do exactly what we do in the hospital when we see stroke patients: performing the validated National Institutes of Health stroke scale," says Evan Noch, MD, PhD, co-founder and CEO of Destroke, and co-investigator of the app's phase 1 clinical trial program at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York.
The Destroke app works by using face, speech, and motion analysis technologies to identify the signs of stroke as denoted by the NIH stroke scale, such as drooping of the mouth on one side, a telltale sign of an emergency. Destroke allows for immediate communication of health information among patients, caregivers, and medical professionals to provide streamlined healthcare and peace of mind — and on a level of detection that can evade most people. Based on the company's market research, Destroke could save an estimated $10,000 per case because of the faster detection time, helping to improve outcomes.
"There is a major deficiency in the way stroke is diagnosed in this country. Stroke detection by patients and loved ones is based on national stroke awareness campaigns that use metrics like facial symmetry and language," Noch says. "While awareness is the first step, signs like subtle weakness on one side can be really hard for people to recognize, meaning treatment often comes too late for the patient. Destroke is based on leading research by neurologists to pinpoint stroke quickly and effectively."
Beyond stroke detection, Destroke can also serve as a monitor for everyday health. Users can self-report medications taken, risk factors, and chronic conditions, and can use the app to monitor their neurological exam over time.
"A patient who has had orthopedic surgery in the shoulder might not be able to lift her arm, stroke or not," says Noch. The app records baseline abnormalities like these that it takes into account when calculating a stroke score.
When a patient may be having a stroke, they or their loved one can open the app and begin the stroke assessment. The app automatically records a patient's facial symmetry, movements of their arms and legs, and speech and language abilities to determine whether they are experiencing a stroke. The app then gives patients the option to retake the test if there are subtle abnormalities, connects them to a telestroke provider if they need further input on their symptoms, or directly calls 911 to deliver this information to EMTs and medical professionals to ensure rapid medical evaluation. (The clinical trial is testing the algorithms the app uses to make its assessment.) The app also asks for key contact information, including primary care physicians, family members, and outside caregivers.
While anyone can benefit from Destroke, stroke survivors and patients who are in high-risk categories (such as having high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or being a smoker) should especially consider downloading the app. The sense that Destroke gives users that someone is watching out for them can help incentivize people to take an active role in their health, as they feel more in charge of preventative care and maintenance. Later versions of the app will include a social media and community component to encourage stroke awareness and healthy habits among users.
The app is undergoing Phase 1 clinical and market analysis, which is scheduled to conclude in 2021. Anyone interested in Destroke's research or technology is encouraged to learn more on Destroke's website, de-stroke.com.
About Destroke
Destroke is the first-ever mobile app to offer automated clinical stroke detection using the validated National Institutes of Health stroke scale, the same rubric for diagnosing stroke used by neurologists and emergency room physicians. Using camera and voice recognition technologies to analyze face, speech, and motion, the app delivers immediate alerts to healthcare providers, giving patients, family members, and caregivers peace of mind and first-line defense against a condition that affects some 15 million people in the world per year.

Yes! Clarity enhanced diamonds are real natural mined diamonds that come from the same diamond mines as all other diamonds. Some diamonds have better clarity than others. In the sorting process, those diamonds with imperfections that are considered "eye clean" are sold as is and those diamonds with visible imperfections that can be seen with the naked eye can undergo the clarity enhancement process which will improve their appearance!
By Spending Less Money, You Are Now Able To Get A Larger Diamond!
Clarity enhancement is the process of taking a diamond that has a visible imperfection and improving its appearance. By inserting a microscopic material into the part of the diamond that has the imperfection, we are able to eliminate the imperfection by making it look less visible to the naked eye.
In conclusion, clarity enhanced diamonds offer superb value when looking for high quality, larger or more affordable options of real, naturally mined diamonds. Plus, the clarity enhancement process is not visible by the naked eye and only a trained jeweler will be able to tell that your diamond has been clarity enhanced.

MediaTek Announces Commitment to Open New Semiconductor Design Center at Purdue University in Indiana
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, leading global fabless chipmaker MediaTek Inc., [joined by Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb, Deputy Secretary of Commerce Don Graves, Indiana Secretary of Commerce Bradley B. Chambers, and Purdue College of Engineering's Dr. Mung Chiang] announced their commitment to accept a state transition assistance package from the Indiana Economic Development Commission (IEDC) to support its very first Midwest semiconductor chip design center in West Lafayette, Indiana.
MediaTek also shared its intention to create a new research partnership with Purdue to collaborate on engineering talent development and new research on next-generation computing and communications chip design. The news was shared with senior leaders, other international investors and policymakers assembled in National Harbor, Maryland for the 2022 SelectUSA Investment Summit.
This novel partnership in Indiana represents a new U.S. growth model for MediaTek USA; outside the traditional centers of gravity for chip design. "We believe strongly that being in Indiana means we'll have access to some of the best engineering talent in the world," said Dr. Kou-Hung Lawrence Loh, Corporate Senior Vice President of MediaTek Inc. and President of MediaTek USA, Inc. "Not just at Purdue, but West Lafayette is only four hours away from nearly a dozen of the top engineering schools in the country. In the post pandemic world, top candidates tell us they want to be closer to home, near family and they want to have a real house and great schools. Indiana offers all that and more."
"This agreement is a significant milestone for MediaTek and for international semiconductor collaboration. We're excited because it builds enduring positive exchanges between our engineers, Purdue students, faculty and other technology companies in the region," explained Dr. Loh. "We are happy to take this important and historic first step for MediaTek today, which formalizes a collegial and cooperative relationship with Purdue University and deepens our ties to the State of Indiana. In addition, supporting the hiring, retention, employment and career advancement of engineers within the semiconductor industry, is critical to helping with the talent pipeline from undergraduate to PhD."
The idea for a new design center for MediaTek was pitched in 2021, when Indiana's Governor Eric Holcomb traveled to Silicon Valley to pitch chip CEOs about his state's commitment to the semiconductor sector. Combined with a follow up invitation to visit Purdue from President Mitch Daniels, the Purdue College of Engineering made its case for a remarkable first of its kind collaboration that includes a new design center right on campus. "This means students and faculty at Purdue will have the opportunity to interact with world class chip design talent right across the street," said Dr. Mung Chiang, President-Elect of Purdue University, current Executive Vice President for strategic initiatives, and John A. Edwardson Dean of the College of Engineering. The Purdue team worked with the IEDC to fully leverage Purdue's role as one of the top STEM universities to attract this new semiconductor investment.
Though MediaTek has been working with U.S. universities for more than a decade, and invested more than $3.5 billion globally in research and development in 2021, this is the first time MediaTek has made such a strong commitment to a U.S. university that included a new MediaTek design team right on campus. The powerful combination of a leading edge commercial design effort and company support for research and graduate education is remarkable for this region. MediaTek hopes to employ as many as 30 top engineers in West Lafayette by 2025 and up to 10 graduate student interns.
"Attracting a world-class chip design firm to Indiana has been a longtime goal for our team," Purdue President Mitch Daniels said. "I applaud Secretary Chambers, the IEDC and, of course, the whole team here at Purdue for doing the hard work necessary to get a global company to take a look at Indiana and all we have to offer. This investment by MediaTek is a commitment to Indiana and an opportunity to grow its U.S. design center workforce here in the Midwest. I welcome this effort, which underscores the vitality and growth of the innovative work happening in our Discovery Park District and signals clear support for the semiconductor industry's growth and development here."
The first cohort of interns are expected to join the MediaTek/Purdue University design center in May 2023 and the search for the endowed professorship in Semiconductor Chip Design, and a separate head of the new Indiana center, will begin in earnest soon.
Welcoming this partnership and investment, Governor Eric J. Holcomb of the State of Indiana said, "We are thrilled to have MediaTek, a leading global semiconductor company, invest in our great state and the country's leading engineering university. We have committed $1.4M of state funding over the next three years to help make this partnership possible and look forward to reaping the benefits of the intellectual capital that will be borne out of this new design center, and the talent that will emerge from it."
In 2022, Purdue Engineering achieved its first back-to-back top four graduate engineering ranking in the U.S. and has also become the largest top 10 undergraduate engineering college in the country. In May 2022 at Indiana's Global Economic Summit, Purdue launched their own comprehensive Semiconductor Degrees Program (SDP).
The SelectUSA conference, now in its ninth year, is the largest annual forum for foreign direct investment in the US. It brings together business leaders from international markets and economic development representatives from all 50 U.S. states and territories. MediaTek is a member of the largest ever delegation from Taiwan participating in this year's conference.

Kohli's Firangi Dhaba is a new, quirky, open-air restaurant in Hinjawadi that's serving the most delectable, soul-satisfying North Indian food we've had in a long time.
Located opposite KPIT, Kohli's Firangi Dhaba comes as a great relief for all those homesick North Indians. The ambience, as you can imagine, looks like a highway dhaba with charpais, a separate cabana section, whimsical Punjabi graffiti and a massive red truck right at the entrance. The space is very colourful, very cheery and definitely worth your penny.
The food at Kohli's is simple, traditional yet has a certain nostalgic value to it. We loved their paneer pahadi kebabs, zesty lemon fish, sharabi murg tikka spiked with vodka and the scrumptious mutton rogan josh. For desserts, must try the shahi tukda and rabdi combination.
The staff out here is extremely courteous, however, we felt the service was tad slow.
Although we didn't try it, we hear the biryanis are quite the bestsellers at Kohli's.


"How do you find out what is going to be discussed at future Senate and House sittings?"
This is a great question, thank you Sarah.
Each meeting (sitting) of the Senate and House of Representatives has a schedule so that the senators and members of the House of Representatives know what is going to be discussed. This schedule is called the Notice Paper.
The Senate publishes the Notice Paper for the next sitting day in advance on the Australian Parliament House website. The House of Representatives Notice Paper is published close to when the sitting day commences.
You can find lots of information about what happens in both the Senate and House of Representatives, including the Senate Daily Summary, and records of votes in the House of Representatives, on the Australian Parliament House website.

Abstract: Previous studies have hypothesised that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphisms may influence aerobic performance. The matrilineal inheritance and accumulation of polymorphisms in mtDNA means that mtDNA haplogroups, characterised by key polymorphisms, are often represented at different frequencies in different populations. The present study aimed to compare the mtDNA haplogroup distribution of elite Ethiopian athletes relative to the general Ethiopian population. The haplogroup distribution of 76 endurance athletes (E), members of the Ethiopian national athletics team, was compared to 108 members of the general Ethiopian population (C). DNA was extracted from buccal swabs and haplogroups assigned by sequencing part of the hypervariable sequence (HVS-I), followed by analysis of key coding-region polymorphisms. A high proportion of African 'L' haplogroups was found in athletes and controls (C=53%; E=55%). Haplogroup distribution of endurance runners did not differ from that of C (P=0.63). Elite Ethiopian athletes are not a mitochondrially distinct group relative to the Ethiopian population. It appears that environment and, perhaps, polymorphisms in the nuclear genome are more important determinants of Ethiopian running success than mtDNA polymorphisms.

There are many reasons to come to Brighton, but one of the main attractions is the variety that Brighton nightlife has to offer.
..but there is much more to Brighton nightlife than clubs and late-night venues, not that there is anything wrong with those. The sheer number of venues, ranging from cosy pubs through to late night clubs, means that there is plenty to do late at night.
To celebrate the many options that Brighton's nightlife has to offer, we thought we should do a roundup of our top late-night spots in the city.
Nothing says party like a few cocktails on a night out. Thankfully Brighton is blessed with plenty of superb cocktail bars, where you are sure to find an expert mixologist to get your night moving in the right direction. Visit GungHo if you are feeling experimental. They make their cocktails with lesser used fruit and veg such as Sea Vegetables and Rhubarb. If you prefer your cocktails in a luxury setting where you can indulge your a-list sensibilities, we suggest a visit to the HarBar in the Harbour Hotel or Una Bar.
Not ready for the party vibe?
Enjoy your evening in style, leaving the venue without ringing ears and no voice. Forgo the dancing and head to Upstairs at The Joker, a stylish expertly decorated bar with a cocktail list to die for and the addition of a jazz pianist to add to the mood. Living in Hove? Head to the recently renovated Una Bar for intimate service and an expertly curated drinks list.
Riffing with the 1920's vibe, L'Atelier du Vin, hidden away on York Place, is prohibition themed but very definitely not dry. Boasting the largest wine list in Brighton and 2 year aged cocktails, it's a kick back and enjoy kind of venue. Alternatively, the bar at Drakes hotel is ideal for an exclusive boutique experience. If, however, a lively party atmosphere is more your thing, then look no further than Merkaba or 32 Duke's Street. Here you are sure to find some sensational drinks in a setting befitting of a quality Brighton night out and the Brighton Nightlife.
If your idea of Brighton nightlife is not complete without some quality vino, then you are in luck on a night out in Brighton and Hove.
If you are in the centre of the city, then you cannot go wrong with a visit to Ten Green Bottles. Here you can kick back with some excellent wines, or pre-book for a personalised tasting event.
If you are in Hove, and we suggest you should consider this, why not pay a visit to the superb Fourth and Church or visit Hove's slice of South America at Café Malbec. How about a drink in the home of wine, Hotel Du Vin, where their newly renovated bar area is ideal for an intimate drink or something a little livelier.
For a selection of small crop, biodynamic and low sulphite wines, head to French bistro Plateau, friendly and funky for simple French food and live DJ's.
If you can think of nothing better than a night out down the pub with your mates, then Brighton is the city to come to. Whether you are just after somewhere for a few beers or you want to grab a bite to eat as well, Brighton's pubs are well prepared for all eventualities. We can recommend the Victorian splendour of The Cricketers in the historic Lanes, or its neighbour the Black Lion which really comes to life late at night.
You can also find The Walrus in the Lanes, a roomy pub with a surprising secret upstairs! The Mash Tun is a popular pub with craft beers and great burgers from the Sidekick Kitchen. Head over towards Hove for a slice of South American charm at The Revelator or if you are after something a little more classic Hove Place is a great option. Finally, we can highly recommend visiting The Chimney House in Seven Dials or The West Hill Tavern, both of which serve superb food whilst also being ideal venues for drinks.
You cannot beat a night out that combines great food followed by drinks and perhaps some dancing. Brighton's restaurants are generally open late, and many have got a great pre-night out atmosphere. If you're looking for somewhere that combines the two in a seamless experience head to Third Avenue. Here you can dine in either the Grill Room or the Sushi Bar, both with some great cocktails, then party into the early hours in their luxury club room every Friday and Saturday night.
Restaurant such as 64 Degrees, The Salt Room and The Coal Shed are ideal for some trendy eats. If you are in the mood for a more formal meal, then Isaac At or Drakes are fabulous choices and Terre a Terre are one of the UK's top vegetarian dining experiences. Fancy something spicy, no problem. Indian Summer, The Chilli Pickle and Curry Leaf café have all been pushing the envelope for Indian food in Brighton and Hove, setting a standard that few can compete with and a key part of the Brighton nightlife and dining scene.
So you've hit a few bars already and maybe even indulged in a fabulous meal at one of Brighton's best restaurants, but now it is time to take things up a notch. Brighton clubs are well known for their great nights and long hours, giving you plenty of time to dance the night away. No matter what your taste in music or preferred clubbing style, there are plenty of options to choose from.
Keep an eye out for what is on at 32 Duke's Street or The Black Lion as both have a variety of different nights. Other Brighton Nightlife top choices for either live music or DJ's include The Mesmerist, The Green Door Store, Patterns, Coalition and The Haunt. Brighton's Concorde 2 is one of the UK's best venues, attracting bands and DJ's from all over the globe. Don't forget to check out Revenge for a taste of Brighton's gay scene, with three rooms of raucous and outrageous fun.

DHS: 179,027 Convicted Criminal Aliens With Deportation Orders Remain In U.S.
AP PHOTO/ROGELIO V. SOLIS
Caroline May
Nearly a million aliens with final orders of removal remain in the U.S., about 20 percent of whom have been convicted of a crime, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Detailed in DHS responses to questions posed by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, as of September 918,369 non-detained aliens with final orders of deportation remained in the U.S.
Of those 918,369 aliens with final orders of removal, 179,027 have criminal convictions and remain at large in the U.S.
"It is important to realize that 180K figure includes only the aliens convicted of a crime and ordered deported who remain in defiance of said order – it is not an estimate of total aliens who have committed crimes who are present in the U.S. or total aliens convicted of crimes who are present in the U.S., which would necessarily be a vastly larger figure," a committee aide noted in an email.
Indeed, DHS was unable to report to the committee on how many aliens in the U.S. have ever been arrested for a criminal offense or how many have ever been convicted of a crime.
DHS noted that Immigration and Customs Enforcement currently has 11,315 aliens with removal orders in custody.
"Keep in mind also that the removal of a convicted criminal alien means the government has already acted too late: immigration laws are supposed to protect Americans by keeping dangerous aliens out of the U.S. – not allowing them to remain in the U.S. up until and past the point they have committed a crime against an American," the aide added.
The revelation that 179,027 criminal aliens with deportation orders remain in the U.S. comes as sanctuary cities — or jurisdictions that do not cooperate with federal immigration authorities — are under fire in light of recent murders committed by released criminal aliens.
According to DHS from Fiscal Year 2009 through August 1, 2015, ICE issued 1,574,743 detainers, or requests for local law enforcement to hold criminal aliens. ICE did not track detainer compliance prior to January 2014 however, DHS noted that "between January 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015, 16,495 detainers issued had not been honored."
ICE estimates that ago 340 jurisdictions have declined to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
