Patent drawings are the key method of communicating the unique features of your invention. Although drawings are not required by the USPTO for provisional patents, the USPTO may require them to be submitted as deemed necessary. In order to prevent any delays in your patent, you will want to pay extra care to ensure that your drawings meet with USPTO requirements outlined in 37 CFR § 1.84 – Standards for drawings.
Professional drafters use professional CAD (computer-aided design) software such as SolidWorks®, Autodesk® Inventor®, or Autodesk® Fusion 360™ in order to generate patent drawings. CAD software is great for generating the 2D drawing views that USPTO requires based on a 3D model. Having a 3D CAD model of your invention is also helpful for the design process, communication and collaboration, generating product renders, generating shop drawings, and more.
SolidWorks®, CATIA ™ and Autodesk® Inventor® are very similar CAD platforms and are both popular among engineers, drafters, designers, and others. They offer powerful features including solid and surfaces support, an abundance of design and analysis support features, support for complex assemblies, generation of drawing sets, and more.
Note: At ASR Engineering we use SolidWorks®, CATIA ™, Autodesk® Inventor®, and any other platform customers request.
Autodesk® Fusion 360™ is a lower-cost cloud-based platform alternative to SolidWorks® and Autodesk® Inventor®. Due to the low cost of Fusion 360™, it has become popular among hobbyists for additive manufacturing (3D printing), CNC, modeling, and more.
Autodesk® AutoCAD® was one of the first CAD platforms made and is still heavily used for generating drawings. AutoCAD® specializes in 2D design and generates drawings that meet with USPTO drawing requirements. The downside to AutoCAD® is the difficulty in generating 3D models, however it is more affordable than most 3D CAD platforms.
A low-cost alternative to industrial CAD software is to use modeling software such as SketchUp which offers free versions. These products, however, do not typically offer the ability to easily generate a 2D view based on a 3D model. While you can create a 2D view which is required by USPTO, you will typically have to do so separately from the 3D model which allows for creating mistakes and takes additional time and effort. For this reason, while modeling software is great for generating a concept model or render, it is more difficult when compared to 3D industrial CAD platforms to generate the drawings you need for a patent.
The lowest cost option is to manually draw your patent drawings. Should you decide to go this route, make sure to purchase an architect scale, engineering paper, and dark and bold pens or pencils. The scale will be used as a straight edge and reference to ensure that every part of your drawing is drawn to the proper scale. Engineering paper also offers guidelines that won't show up when a drawing is scanned as well as properly sized margins. The dark and bold pencils or pencils or pens are required to meet with USPTO requirements for being scannable.
Most hand drawn patent drawings today are noticeably less professional than drawings generated with the use of CAD, however, if you follow drafting standards then you can generate a great looking hand drawn set.
ASR Engineering offers in-house concept to production engineering services which includes generating the drawings you need to protect your intellectual property with a patent. Contact us today for a free quote on your project.

Amazon, Microsoft Commit to New Linux Foundation Climate Finance Foundation
The Linux Foundation last month announced its intent to form the Linux Foundation Climate Finance Foundation to empower investors, banks, insurers, companies, governments, NGOs, and academia with AI-enhanced open-source analytics and open data to address climate risk and opportunity. Allianz, Amazon, Microsoft, and S&P Global have committed to be founding members.
Cybersecurity Assessment and the Zero Trust Model
Instead of legacy security models that differentiate a "trusted" interior from an untrusted external one, zero trust instead assumes that all networks and hosts are equally untrustworthy. Once this fundamental shift in assumptions is made, you start to make different decisions about what, who, and when to trust, and acceptable validation methods to confirm a request or transaction is allowed.
The Risks and Consequences of Lax Patch Management
Earlier this month, a woman with a life-threatening condition passed away after hackers crashed the IT systems of a major hospital in the city of Dusseldorf. Incidents like this raise the question of why corporations do not patch vulnerabilities as soon as software manufacturers issue a fix.
Microsoft Ignite and Dominating the Future of Tech the Right Way
At Microsoft Ignite last week, the breadth and focus that Microsoft demonstrated were arguably well beyond what any other company is capable of doing. This lesson is worth remembering because Microsoft, unlike its peers facing antitrust action, is showing how to become powerful without becoming a threat. The result is far more powerful and far less risky than the company's prior path.
Lack of Qualified Linux Talent Impedes Enterprise Move to the Clouds
Even in these changing times of shuttered shops and pandemic-driven corporate layoffs, a flood of tech jobs goes unfilled due to a lack of Linux skills among IT workers. That combination is contributing to a slowdown or delay in enterprise plans to migrate their local computing base to public cloud operations, as an already existing Linux tech pool gap has widened since the pandemic.
Nvidia + Arm Will Dramatically Change the Technology Landscape
Nvidia last week announced they are buying Arm, which will result in some exciting changes. This merger will open up opportunities for the company to create new, innovative, and compelling products across the technology ecosystem. Let's talk about that this week, and we'll close with my product of the week -- a new business class notebook from HP, the EliteBook 840 G7.
Do's and Don'ts for SMB Cybersecurity Safety
The stampede from offices to working from home has strained IT security teams to their limits. As a result, SMBs find they need to get more bang for fewer bucks to fight off cybersecurity threats. However, even IT departments with limited resources can implement foundational strategies to address network security issues, and lay the groundwork for future investments.
Tech Job Market Hot for the Near Future
Computer systems design and related services added 13,000 jobs, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's August jobs report. IT employment in July was up by more than 203,000 positions since the COVID-19 outbreak; and there were more than 235,000 job postings by U.S. employers, according to the Computing Technology Industry Association.
The Perils of IT Security Hubris
Corporate cybersecurity has been increasingly compromised since organizations began implementing work-from-home policies in March as the pandemic continued its spread. In addition to the risks created by increased stress on personnel and depleted staff, IT leaders might be overconfident about the cybersecurity protocols and procedures they have in place.
Most Tech and Finance Firms Delaying Office Returns Into 2021
Tech and finance professionals are joining the ranks of workers in other industries by delaying their return to in-person office work. According to thousands of employees and managers polled about their companies' plans regarding working from home, many U.S. employers have postponed return-to-office plans until as late as the third quarter of next year.

Anesthesia during a short surgery doesn't harm a baby's brain development, according to an experiment involving hundreds of infants in seven countries.
While the study can't answer broader safety questions about repeated or prolonged anesthesia, it may ease the worries of millions of parents whose children have been put to sleep for common procedures.
"These findings should be reassuring," said Dr. Mary Ellen McCann of Boston Children's Hospital. An hour of surgery with general anesthesia "is safe for your child in early infancy." She helped lead the study published Thursday in the medical journal Lancet .
Finally, at age 5, the children took IQ tests and both groups' average scores were in the normal range. There were no differences in parent-reported problems such as autism, attention deficit disorder or speech delays.
"The level of evidence is strong," said Dr. Santhanam Suresh of Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, who wasn't involved in the research. The findings mean doctors "should not shy away from using general anesthesia in children undergoing simple pediatric procedures."
Since 84 percent of the babies in the study were boys, it's unclear how the results apply to girls.
In the study, the anesthesia lasted less than an hour on average. Longer exposure could be more dangerous, as could anesthesia for multiple surgeries, McCann said, so it's unlikely the Food and Drug Administration will change existing warning labels on anesthesia drugs for children.
Next, other researchers will study a new combination of anesthetic drugs in another randomized experiment , but those results won't be known for several years.

Q: Wordpress / WooCommerce SEMRush Crawl Warning: Resources are formatted as page link When adding an image to a WooCommerce Product, by default it creates a link that SEMRush flags up as a crawl issue, despite this being a default of WordPress.
"We detected that some links to resources are formatted with  HTML element. An  tag with a href attribute is used to link to other webpages and must only contain a page URL. Search engines will crawl your site from page to page by following these HTML page links. When following a page link that contains a resource, for example, an image, the returned page will not contain anything except an image. This may confuse search engines and will indicate that your site has poor architecture."
Their suggestions is this, but of course WP does this by default:
Review your links. Replace  links with tags necessary for specific resources. For example, if you'd like to add an image, use an  tag with an alt attribute describing the contents of your image.
Have you experienced this and if so, how did you get around it?
I have researched the problem and found only a few mentions of this, one suggests an edit of the functions.php file which I did try but it's not worked. Additionally the use of a code snippet, which again has not worked.

Early Education Advocates Fighting for Priority in Federal Budget
By Christina A. Samuels — March 28, 2017 3 min read
When the Trump administration released its budget blueprint earlier this month, it noted that early care and education ranked among its "highest priorities." But the federal preschool program Head Start was a notable omission in the few pages devoted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees Head Start.
A complete budget proposal is due from the administration in May. And Congress, which controls the federal purse strings, often follows its own priorities—even if they differ from those laid out by a presidential administration.
Keeping that in mind, early-childhood advocates are gearing up to make sure their issues are at the forefront when lawmakers start making tough spending decisions, and they're drawing attention to the bipartisan support that early-learning programs have garnered.
For example, on March 16, the same day that the Trump budget outline was released, the House panel that oversees HHS conducted a hearing on "investing in the future." Rep. Tom Cole, a Republican from Oklahoma and the chairman of the subcommittee, started the session with praise for public investment in early-childhood education. "High-quality early-learning programs are the starting point to closing the achievement gap," he said. "These critical programs, combined with high-performing K-12 schools ... can provide the foundation for students to become successful leaders of the next generation."
The hearing was a bright spot in the midst of the "disconcerting news" generation by the Trump budget outline, said Yasmina Vinci, the executive director of the National Head Start Association, in a statement. The hearing reflects the subcommittee's "continued commitment to ensuring every child has the opportunity to pursue the American Dream—regardless of circumstance at birth."
In September, Head Start revamped its performance standards, cutting red tape and setting a goal for all Head Start centers to offer a full school day and year. To implement the program expansion without cutting slots for children, Head Start would need a funding increase of about $1 billion over its current $8.6 billion budget. The new rules allow the expansion plans to be held off at the discretion of the HHS secretary.
Working for Continued Home Visiting Funding
Supporters of home visiting are also hoping that Congress will reauthorize their program. The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program was originally funded at $1.5 billion for five years through the Affordable Care Act. It was renewed in 2015 for two years and $800 million when it was added to a Medicare doctor-payment bill.
That money is also about to run out, and a home-visiting coalition is now seeking a five-year reauthorization, with funding increases until the program reaches $800 million.
Home visiting offers in-person support to at-risk families. "Regular visits by caring, experienced professionals and trained peers can help parents turn their good intentions into good, solid parenting and coping skills," said Karen Howard, vice president of early-childhood policy at First Focus and co-convener of the coalition.
The Trump budget blueprint does not mention home visiting, but the program is also one that has won bipartisan support. Rep. Kevin Brady, a Republican from Texas who is chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, has called home visiting an evidence-based reform that works.
Working Early-Childhood into Tax Reform
Earlier this year, before the tax blueprint was released, a group of advocates worked together on a tax reform proposal that could make paying for high-quality child care more feasible for lower-income families.
The group is still supporting those ideas, but doesn't want the idea of more direct funding to early-childhood programs to slip to the wayside, said Mark Shriver, the president of the Save the Children Action Network. The proposed cuts to HHS and to international development programs overseen by the State Department could be "catastrophic to families," the network said.
But in an interview, Shriver said that it's important to remember that no president's proposed budget passes without changes.
"President Trump talked about making investments in America. This first budget blueprint or outline shortchanges poor kids and families all across America. But I think this is an outline. This is not going to be the final budget," Shriver said. "Both the House and the Senate have a role, and I am hopeful that the final product will strengthen programs that work, and will move the country forward."

Chances are, you have had to deal with an upset person or two in your life. It's hard to remain calm in the middle of an argument or conflict when it seems like the more you talk the more distance you end up creating. Integrity Academy Presents a Dealing With Difficult People Workshop, led by Joe Carr, an educator, trainer and coach from The Center for Nonviolent Communication. The workshop will be at Casa de Luz, in the Cielo South Room, from 7 – 8:30 pm on Wednesday, Jan. 29.
Joe Carr will help you learn ways to communicate that don't involve moralistic judgments like good, bad, right, wrong, should and shouldn't, because these judgments are what cause people to become defensive and rebellious. His techniques will teach you how to identify underlying needs that are behind our feelings and behavior. This empathy will allow you to decrease tension and connect, cooperate and induce harmony in difficult situations; creating a deeper connection to yourself in the process.
Carr's interactive talk will include open discussion, participatory exercises and role-plays; addressing real conflicts and situations of the participants.
Workshop is FREE, and part of the community classes by the new school opening at Casa de Luz in August, Integrity Academy. Integrity Academy wants adults to learn too! Check out what we think of Integrity Academy here.
Sounds like a tremendous opportunity. Thanks.

Starigrad is the center of the Paklenica Riviera, which was built on the foundations of the ancient town of Argyruntum. Today it is a more and more well-known tourist destination with just over one thousand inhabitants who switched their traditional way of life on the slopes of Velebit with life by the sea half a century ago. Because of the proximity and accessibility of the mountains, especially the attractive canyon of Velika Paklenica, Starigrad is not only a pleasant resort but also a traditional gathering place for hikers and climbers, adventurers and scientists, and for all nature lovers who come to enjoy the beauties of Paklenica and Velebit. While you revel in the crystal clear sea, your gaze is fixed on the magnificent canyons of Velika and Mala Paklenica deeply cut in the mountain Velebit above you. And you have no idea that is them that you should be thankful for the surprising splendor of natural pebble beaches on Paklenica Riviera….
Hotel Barba is a newly opened hotel in Starigrad Paklenica, a town located ten kilometers from the A1 motorway (Zagreb-Split) exit. We are categorized as a two-star hotel only because the size of most of our rooms (15.5 m2) according to the Ministry of Tourism Regulations is insufficient for three or more stars. We try to compensate for this slight disadvantage with content that some other two star hotels do not offer. We are particularly proud of the fact that we have built a close, almost family atmosphere, where we pay special attention to each of our guests and we strive to make their every moment in our hotel more beautiful and enjoyable. You are the focus of everything we do and for us, there is nothing more important than your satisfaction. Hotel Barba has 18 rooms in total: 15 double rooms without a balcony and 3 quadruple rooms with a private balcony and sea view. Each room is equipped with modern air conditioning with unlimited use.

First Trailer for 'End of the Line' Doc About the NYC Subway's Troubles
Source: Vimeo
"It's decline is very much a symptom of where we've gone - as a society and as a country." A teaser trailer is out for a documentary film premiering this month titled End of the Line, which will be unveiling at the DOC NYC fest soon. If you live in New York City, you definitely know how bad the subway has become. If you don't live there, you've probably heard everyone else who does live there complaining about how awful it is. End of the Line is a character-driven political drama about the NYC subway crisis and a long overdue reckoning on infrastructure. "Filmed from 2016 to 2021, this story is emblematic of tumultuous times felt across urban America, as the struggle to overcome decay gives way to existential peril in the 11th hour with the advent of a global pandemic." It features current NYC Mayor-elect Eric Adams, actress and former NY gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon, Brooklyn Borough President-elect Antonio Reynoso, former Transit President Sarah Feinberg, current MTA CEO Janno Lieber, and also millions of straphanging New Yorkers.
Here's the first trailer for Emmett Adler's documentary End of the Line, direct from YouTube:
Intro via DOC NYC: "Director Emmett Adler explores the role of the MTA in New York City and the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic had on the vital service it provides: transporting New York's essential workers. The [doc] film acknowledges the decline of the subway infrastructure as a political issue and captures a tumultuous time that impacted every city in America. A heartfelt and scrupulous exploration, this film poses the question: what happens when the lifeline of a city goes flat?" End of the Line is directed by NYC-based filmmaker Emmett Adler, making his directorial debut after working as an editor. He "began production when one part of the overall transit mess--the so-called L Train shutdown--threatened to uproot his own life as a Brooklyn straphanger." Produced by Ian Mayer. This is premiering at the 2021 DOC NYC Film Festival this month. No other release dates have been set yet - stay tuned for updates. Visit the film's official website.

Q: Why is this python class instance hashable? This is pertaining to python 2.x
In the following class, if we subclass "object", I understand the methods are inherited in the derived class Foo which includes __hash__ (can see this by printing dir(Foo() )
Hence calling hash(Foo()) calls the magic method __hash__ and gives us a hash value.
However, if we don't subclass "object", resulting in dir(Foo()) not listing out the __hash__ method, so then why do we still get a hash value in python2?
I believe in python3 this problem has been addressed since the methods from the "object*" class are inherited by default.
#class Foo(object) Works since __hash__ is available in the base class
class Foo:  #Why does this work?
    def __init__(self):
        self.x = None
a = Foo()
print dir(a) # No __hash__ magic method
print hash(a)
# Expecting an error like non-hashable or __hash__ not implemented
# or something similar

A: Old-style classes are weird. Officially, instances of old-style classes aren't wholly instances of their class, they're all instances of type instance. The instance type defines __hash__ (tp_hash is the C level slot that's equivalent to __hash__ for C defined types), so even though it's not defined on your instance directly, nor on the class that created it, it finds __hash__ on the instance type itself through weird and terrible magic (actually, the magic is in how it manages to use your class's features at all, given that its type is instance).
You can see this in the interactive interpreter:
>>> class Foo: pass

>>> Foo().__hash__  # Same basic error for Foo.__hash__ too
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
...
----> 1 Foo().__hash__

AttributeError: Foo instance has no attribute '__hash__'
>>> type(Foo())
<type 'instance'>
>>> type(Foo()).__hash__
<slot wrapper '__hash__' of 'instance' objects>

This works even though the instance itself can't see __hash__ because "special methods" (those documented special methods that begin and end with double underscores) are looked up on the type, not the instance, so __hash__ is found on instance itself. At the C level, hash(x) is doing the equivalent of type(x).__hash__(x) (it's a little more complicated because it won't use the default __hash__ implementation if __eq__ has a custom definition, but that's the general idea).

Wayne's routine, from his professional stand-up act, contains his added psychological nuances to David Hoy's original "tossed Out Deck" routine.
Without wishing to detract from the original, Wayne always found that it received a muted response from the audience. This was because when all three assistants sit down at the same time, the audience is confused as to what has actually happened. This confusion results in 'polite' applause, when they should really be giving you an ovation!
If you perform the tossed Out Deck as it is outlined in Wayne's included word-for-word routine on DVD, you will be amazed at the increased level of response and applause.


How the global leader, in SAS / Cloud Hosted, Digital Marketing Solutions is successfully supporting a majority of its worldwide users from India.
A $4 Billion Digital Media and Digital Marketing Software Products Global Corporation's is transforming from being a packaged software vendor to a cloud hosted Software-As-A-Service solution partner to its consumer & enterprise customers.
The customer support function, particularly for their marketing cloud services offering too is going through a paradigm shift from a mere backend support to being a voice of the customer and participating in product steering committees and release meetings and working cross functionally with global stakeholders within the digital marketing domain.
Key concern was in attracting a senior leader who could be a key member of the global support organisation and has the ability to look beyond just the customer support element of the role and contribute strategically to the evolving marketing cloud service offering with inputs and customer insights, ideally with experience/ understanding of the digital marketing domain.

in London: Residential Quarter townhouses «Brickripples» in Krasnoarmeysk and Equestrian sports complex «Equitorus» in the Pushkin district, Moscow region.
categories: Architecture Multiple Residence Russia - «Brickripples» and Leisure Architecture Russia - «Equitorus»).
masonry, which is a characteristic of the facades of that time, is reproduced successfully with the yellow brick "ripple" uniformly covering the dark brown walls of the modern buildings. The conceptual solution of facades - "the trees foliage on the wind", here comes two-color masonry, which creates the effect of randomness along the long facades of the objects and the rigor, which is a characteristic of the trunks of trees at the end of the walls.
Equestrian sports complex "Equitorus" – it's a complex approach in forming urban concept, which, in one project it was necessary to solve three problems simultaneously: functional, ecological and cultural identity issue. Separate buildings of the complex, picturesquely scattered on the territory in the type of irregular layout of the Russian manor, in fact, clearly fit into the rigid scheme of functional zoning. The idea to give emotionally saturated images to a purely utilitarian object is realized through the use of two-colored roofing and rhythmically organized geometric facade decor. The object is perceived contrast to the natural surroundings and structuring monotonous landscape, assigns it the role of the natural background. It seems as if someone spread a colorful homespun mat on the ground. The huge glass planes work in contrast, emphasizing the arches on the ends of the facades and bind the interior with the exterior in a single unit.

Traditionally, Korean legal education followed the German and Japanese models. Recent reforms are shifting professional education from an undergraduate LL.B. to a postgraduate J.D. type of education. In addition, many Korean universities continue to offer legal education in academic and scholastic frameworks, offering graduate degrees, including Ph.D.s in Law.
Further, several universities focus on legal systems outside of Korea, such as on Common Law.

Admission and Law School Ranking
Since the implementation of the 2007 Act calling for reform in legal education, law schools in Korea became graduate schools (similar to the US system) and require a bachelor's degree, a satisfactory undergraduate grade point average, foreign language proficiency, and a satisfactory score on the Legal Education Eligibility Test (LEET) to be considered for admission (the LEET is modelled after Law School Admission Test (LSAT) in the US).  Additional factors are evaluated through essays, interviews, the school administered essay exams, and other application materials.

2012–2020 Top 10 Law School Ranking from Hankyung Business Magazine was:
 Seoul National University School of Law
 Korea University School of Law
 Yonsei Law School
 Sungkyunkwan University Law School
 Hanyang University School of Law
 Sogang Law School
 Ewha Law School
 Pusan National University School of Law
 Kyung hee University Law School
 Chung-ang University Law School
There are 15 remaining law schools in the rankings below.

Law School System in Transition

In South Korea, a law school was an undergraduate institution where students major in law and are awarded a Légum Baccalaureus, or LL.B. (Bachelor of Laws).  Following graduation, candidates must take and pass the bar exam.  Under the present judiciary exam (as of 2008), the number of new lawyers admitted each year was limited to 1,000.  Successful candidates must then complete the mandatory 2 years of training courses at the Judicial Research & Training Institute (JRTI) in order to join the bar in Korea. The JRTI is managed by the Supreme Court.

However, as a result of a bill passed in July 2007, the education system for legal studies will soon undergo significant changes.  The 2007 Act calls for the adoption of a separate law school system similar to that of the United States, with the new graduate-level law schools expected to open by 2009.  Only a limited number of universities will be permitted to establish such graduate-level law schools, as determined by the relevant government agency after its review of each university's submitted materials.  In February 2008, the Education Ministry released a final selection of 25 universities approved for the new graduate-level law schools (15 in the Seoul metropolitan area and 10 in the provinces).  The selection process itself has not been without controversy; upon release of the final list, some of the excluded universities threatened to sue for an injunction or stage protest rallies, and one university president threatened to resign.

Under the new system, those who have bachelor's degrees can apply for law schools which have three-year programs and the graduates can then take the bar exam; those who achieve a certain score (or above) will be licensed.  In addition, based on an October 2007 revised plan submitted by Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development, the law school admission is limited to 2,000 candidates.

The bar passage rate in South Korea is around 50%, yet declining rapidly due to restraints on the number of lawyers admitted to the bar association. Only approximately 1500 people can be admitted to the Bar annually. More and more students who already graduated law school are retaking the Bar exam, which may cause issues with law school system in Korea.

Common Law Education
Several universities have added undergraduate or postgraduate programs in Common Law. Those schools not only teach common law, but also teach most or all of their classes in English. Handong Global University offers a three-year postgraduate degree that parallels an A.B.A.-style J.D. educational program. Soongsil University offers an undergraduate LL.B. that parallels common law educations in English-speaking countries. Both schools have strong moot court teams that compete internationally.

The British government has decided to reform the immigration rules to allow more foreign students and researchers to search for employment in the country, which is said to be an indication of the government's liberal stance in welcoming outsiders.
Included in the changes are plans to let students apply to migrate to a skilled worker visa immediately after they finish their courses instead of having to bide their time till they get their degrees. It was said to have been detailed in Budget documents, which were published on 22 November.
By adopting a new approach to the foreign student issue under Amber Rudd, home secretary, some in the sector are also suggesting that the Home Office arrange to broaden the scope of a pilot scheme in which visa rules have been relaxed for students who want to apply to master's courses at Imperial College London and at Bath, Oxford and Cambridge universities.
But some concerns remain around United Kingdom's approach after Brexit with regard to graduate workers, researchers and students of the European Union. They are yet to be resolved in the immigration bill of the government.
As per the 'Red Book' of the Budget, the government would reform immigration regulations to allow endorsing of world's top researchers and scientists under the Tier 1 route ( given to exceptional talent) so that they can apply for settlement after completing three years; hasten the process for talented students to apply for employment in the UK after they graduate; and bring down the bureaucratic hurdles to recruit foreign members and researchers of renowned research teams by doing away with the labour market test and to allow research councils of the UK and other renowned organisations to sponsor researchers.
The reforms would let a student transfer to a Tier 2 skilled worker visas soon after finishing their studies or after taking their final exam rather than waiting until a degree is awarded to them. That amendment is said to have been arrived at after universities informed the Home Office that the existing regulations were causing inconvenience to students pursuing their master's who, in most cases, need to wait for several months after completing their course until they receive their degree certificates.
On the other hand, one of the reforms to the Exceptional Talent scheme is reducing two years from the existing five-year wait time to be eligible for settlement as per this programme, target of which are current global movers or promising future business captains in a variety of sectors. This move came into place after the visa numbers available per year was raised to 2,000 from 1,000 under this scheme.
The law reforming the immigration rules is likely to be slated for the spring.
A spokesman for Universities UK was quoted by Times Higher Education as welcoming the positive reforms on the hiring of staff as well as letting students shift to post-study work very quickly.
He said in the next coming months, they would want to see the government being more liberal and sticking to a strategy for increasing numbers of international students.
She said that important for the future was resolving issues around EU nationals settled status in the UK when Brexit happens and also attaining a system that supports unrestricted movement between the EU and the UK. She added that this was the reason why the White Paper needed to be published by the Home Office ahead of the immigration bill, without any delay.
If you are looking to study or work in the UK, get in touch with Y-Axis, a reputed company for immigration services, to apply for a relevant visa.

An Uncommon Procedure for a Rare Ailment: Massive Bronchoalveolar Lavage in a Patient with Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis

As a rare procedure, massive bronchoalveolar lavage (MBAL) is a large-volume lavage which necessitates general anesthesia and one-lung ventilation (OLV). During MBAL isotonic saline is instilled into one lung and drained through one lumen of a double-lumen tube. MBAL is the most effective treatment for symptomatic pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). A 27-year-old male with PAP was scheduled for therapeutic MBALs. After standard preoxygenation, monitoring and anesthesia induction, a double-lumen tube was placed. Tube position was verified by a fiberoptic bronchoscope. The internal jugular vein, radial and pulmonary arteries were cannulated. A temperature probe and foley catheter were inserted. The nonventilated lung was filled with 1000 mL saline and then drained in each session. The left and right lung were lavaged with an interval of 2 weeks. A total of 20 L saline was used in each MBAL without retention. MBALs were terminated after the effluent became clear. Duration of the left and right MBALs were 325 and 275 minutes, respectively. Despite increased shunt fraction, oxygenation was within acceptable limits during OLV. The trachea was extubated in the operating room uneventfully after each MBAL. The patient's clinical and laboratory findings were evidently improved. Consequently, if proper conditions are provided, MBAL is safe and beneficial despite its risks and the long duration.
