The Army's TH-67 New Training Helicopter (NTH) is a Bell Model 206B JetRanger III built by Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. Its function is to replace existing Hueys being used for training Initial Entry Rotary Wing students. The TH-67 Creek is a state-of-the-art helicopter used for initial entry rotary wing training. It replaced the aging UH-1H, which had been the Army's interim trainer since the 1988 retirement of the TH-55 Osage. In the tactical portion of pilot training, the OH-58 Kiowa is still the helicopter used. But for initial entry rotary wing flight instruction, the TH-67 is the aircraft of choice for a new generation of Army aviators.
For a new Aviation Lieutenant, flight school means completing Aviation Officer Basic Course (AVOBC) Phase I, AVOBC Phase II (Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW) Qualification), AVOBC Phase III, and an Advanced Aircraft Qualification Course (AQC). Every 2 weeks, an IERW class starts. This class is a mixture of WO1s and Lieutenants. The first 20 weeks of training involve the basics of helicopter flight and instruments in the TH-67. At the end of primary flight and instruments, most officers will go into Basic Combat Skills (BCS) and Night Vision Goggles (NVG) in the OH-58C. Depending on sitting heigth, taller officers may be required to go through the UH-1H BCS and NVG track.
The New Training Helicopter was a significant test conducted in 1992 at Fort Rucker by the TRADOC Test and Experimentation Command (TEXCOM) Aviation Test Directorate. The purpose of the NTH test was to assess the training effectiveness of five candidate commercial helicopters under consideration by the Army for future pilot training as compared to the UH-1 version. Distinguishing between critical and non-critical requirements and relaxing non-critical requirements simplified an Army aircraft procurement. After its analysis of comments received from competitors, the Army reduced several requirements including: airspeed from 100 to 90 knots; hover capacity from 4,000 feet density to 2,300 feet density; fuel capacity from 3-1/2 hours to 2-1/2 hours; and airframe crash-worthy limits from 26-feet-per-second to a limit open to discussion based on contractor data. The reductions allowed more contractors to compete with proven, existing helicopters. In fact, one contractor avoided elimination when the airspeed requirement was lowered from 100 to 90 knots.
In March 1993, the US Army ordered the TH-67 Creek version as its new training helicopter to succeed the Bell UH-1. Based on the performance of the U.S. Navy's TH-57, the U.S. Army is currently purchasing the Bell TH-67. Providing a highly reliable, student/instructor-friendly, low-cost platform for primary flight training, it is surpassing all readiness goals established by the U.S. Army. The TH-67 boasts a combination of high training utility and safety with the most extensive features of any training helicopter in the world. Unique to the TH-67 is its advanced cockpit display system installed for the back seat student. Other features include energy attenuating seats, full IMC/VMC instrumentation and heavy-duty skid shoes for touchdown autorotation training.
The Creek is special because it was bought "off the shelf" rather than being designed to a military specification. The New Training Helicopter was purchased as a Non-Developmental Item with only three modifications. This was done to reduce pilot training costs while continuing to meet the same training objectives. The TH-67 Creek will require approximately one-third the operating and support cost of the Huey. The focus is to provide the best training at the lowest price. The TH-67 is able to do that by cutting operating and maintenance costs in half. The Army expected to save $27 million annually and $540 million over the 20-year expected life cycle of the aircraft. Purchasing the TH-67 was like buying a new car with a two-year warranty. When the Army builds a helicopter to military specifications there is no recourse on design deficiencies because it is a government design. With a commercial buy the Army is covered by the same warranty as private customers. Because the TH-67 is maintained to Federal Aviation Administration standards it's a resalable aircraft. When the Army decides to replace the TH-67, it can be resold on the commercial market, another first for Army aviation.
The aircraft consists of the forward section, intermediate section, and tailboom section. The forward section consists of two bulkheads connected by two box beams with an aerodynamic profile supported primarily with aluminum honeycomb construction. The forward section begins at the nose and ends at the aft crosstube. This comprises the crew compartment and the observer station. The intermediate section is of semimonocoque construction [semimonocoque means that the aircraft skin provides some of the structural strenght] beginning aft of the aft cross tube and ending at the attaching point of the tailboom section. The tailboom section is of -fully monocoque construction, beginning at the aft end of the intermediate station. The horizontal stabilizer--maintains a desirable aircraft attitude throughout the airspeed range. The metal strip installed at its' lead-ing edge maintains autorotational stability. The vertical fin is installed with it's leading edge 5½ degrees right of center thus reducing tail rotor thrust requirements in forward flight. The TH-67 tail rotor is completely "off-loaded" between 100-110 KTAS.
Integrating the TH-67 into the training fleet created a steep learning curve for the trainers. Even though Fort Rucker's instructors are among the world's most experienced, most of their flight time had been in the durable and very forgiving UH-1H. The TH-67, on the other hand, is much more responsive to control input and requires more finesse. Since the Army switched to the TH-67, student grades have gone up slightly and the course failure rate has been cut in half.
Like other military helicopters, the UH-1 is designed for a go-to-war mission. It's not necessarily built for comfort or ease of handling. In contrast, the TH-67 is smaller, sleeker and air-conditioned, which helps students feel more comfortable in it, said Bonham. Not only is it less intimidating, but it's much quieter. That in itself puts the student in a better learning environment.
To enhance training, a cockpit display system is embedded in the back of the right front seat to provide the second student a full view of the primary flight and navigation instruments. It's a helpful tool at the beginning of the cours. The display system is a good training tool, and is mainly used as a cross reference.
The Frasca International, Inc. TH-67 Helicopter Flight Simulator cockpit is modeled after that of the aircraft with dual flight controls, actual aircraft flight instruments and system indicators. The avionics equipment is capable of use in training instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. A variety of environmental conditions, including wind speed and direction, turbulence, visibility, cloud ceiling, and day/dusk/night illumination can be simulated. Various engine, electrical, hydraulic and mechanical failures can also be simulated. The simulator provides helicopter sound cues, including engine, transmission, main rotor, and wind noise, plus warning tones. The out-the-window view is projected onto a screen in front of the cockpit. The visual field, as currently configured, is 33 degrees horizontal by 25 degrees vertical. All locations in the visual database (e.g., airfield, helipad, taxi lanes), are accurately modeled and internally consistent in terms of latitude, longitude, and magnetic compass orientation.
In May 1996 Taiwan requested the purchase of 30 TH-67 training helicopters, 30 sets of AN/AVS-6 (V)1 night vision goggles and other related elements of program support. The estimated cost was $53 million. Taiwan used these helicopters for pilot training and as replacements for older and non-supportable UH-1H helicopters that are difficult to maintain and expensive to operate.
In October 1996 UNC Aviation Services, Incorporated, Annapolis, Maryland, was awarded $18,652,203 (base year) of a (cumulative total of $101,622,813 includes 4 option years, if exercised) firm fixed price contract for rotary wing flight training services. The contractor conducts initial entry rotary wing flight training services -- consisting of flight academics, flight simulator training, and actual aircraft flight training -- in the TH- 67 aircraft; and provides all management, administration, supervision, labor, equipment, tools, materials, and other items of services necessary to perform the work, except what is specified in the contract as government furnished property and services. Work is performed at Fort Rucker, Alabama.
While developing aircraft maintenance plans in 2000 for a 25 percent student increase, analysis showed that when comparing lifecycle maintenance costs of the OH-58A/C versus the TH-67, procuring additional TH-67s would be more cost effective. Overall, $3.8 million could be saved over the 2 years the original plan called for use of OH-58A/Cs.
After more than a dozen years, Fort Rucker's instructor-pilots, students and maintenance crews reached an Army Aviation milestone 16 January 2007 — the one millionth flight hour in the TH-67 Creek training helicopter. The one millionth hour is a remarkable example of combining bureaucracy, leadership and industry to train more than 15,000 aviators, and the TH-67 Creek has allowed and enabled Soldiers to become Army Aviators in safe and reliable ways.
Over time some modifications have been made to the TH-67 such as removing the rear seat flight instrument panel and adding air conditioning. The aircraftis resilient and handled well in repeated emergency-procedures training as well as actual, random emergencies. Since the Army acquired the TH-67 Creek, student grades have improved, the course failure rate has been cut in half, and the helicopter has provided a highly reliable student- and instructor-friendly, low-cost airframe for nearly 15,000 future Army Aviators. The TH-67 Creek was selected to improve training and reduce costs to American taxpayers by $29 million annually and more than a half billion dollars over the lifetime of the program. Lear Siegler Services, Inc. provides the flight training contract and Army Fleet Support furnishes maintenance support.
First phase consists of two weeks of preflight instruction, providing students with knowledge of basic flight control relationships, aerodynamics, weather and start-up procedures.
Second phase, consisting of ten weeks and 60 flight hours in the TH-67 Creek training helicopter, is the primary phase. In this phase, students learn the basic fundamentals of flight, make their first solo flights, and learn to perform approaches and basic stagefield maneuvers. Students then progress to more complex emergency procedure training, slopes and confined area operations.
Third phase is eight weeks of instrument training, including 30 hours in the flight simulator on the main post and 20 hours in the TH-67. The student progresses from basic instrument procedures to navigation on federal airways using FAA en route controlling agencies. Upon successful completion of this phase, the students are instrument qualified and receive a helicopter instrument rating upon graduation.
Fourth phase of training is the combat skills and dual track phase. It is combat-mission oriented and trains the student pilot in the OH-58 A/C as an aeroscout helicopter pilot. The 1-212th Aviation Battalion teaches both tracks that include extensive night vision goggles training and tactical night operations.
A total of 183 aircraft were procured. A mix of aircraft configured to support Visual Flight Rules (VFR), Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Basic War fighting Skills (BWS) training are used. The VFR version is ideal for early stages of flight school because it is lighter, simpler, and less sensitive to the harsher flight maneuvering generated during the students' primary training. The IFR is equipped for the more advanced instrument phase and is more complex and heavier, but does not undergo the harsher primary flight maneuvering generated in earlier training phases. An enhanced configuration of the VFR is a third design which offers a training environment for the acquisition of basic navigation/night/night vision goggles skills. All versions of the aircraft are designed to provide safe, effective and economical in-flight training when used to demonstrate and practice basic helicopter pilot skills.
Training in the TH-67 is far more than stick wiggling. It is where instructors first touch the soul of a warrior — an intangible thrust inside the being of all combat aviators.

U.S. hemp sales might exceed $25 million in 2020 and surpass $100 million in 2022, according to new estimates by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
These estimates are some of the figures outlined in Hemp Industry Daily's new special report, "USDA Hemp Rules: A Handbook for Hemp & CBD Businesses."
The free report, released Tuesday, outlines the contents of the USDA's interim final rules regarding the establishment of a domestic hemp production program. The rules took effect Oct. 31.
Within the rules, the USDA estimates that next season the nation's hemp producers collectively will sell $25.5 million worth of hemp and that this figure will increase 153% to reach $64.5 million in 2021.
And the USDA believes that figure will increase another 61% in 2022, reaching $104 million.
The agency points to three drivers of growth for hemp sales:
The rate at which hemp acreage has increased in recent years.
The number of states whose hemp pilot programs produced a crop in recent years.
How many states have passed legislation following the signing of the 2018 Farm Bill.
The long-awaited interim rules were finally released Oct. 29 after receiving final approval from the White House Office of Management and Budget.
While the release of the rules was welcome, hemp producers and industry experts alike have worked to determine exactly what the rules say and how they will impact the burgeoning industry.
Other vital hemp industry information found in "USDA Hemp Rules: A Handbook for Hemp & CBD Businesses" includes:
Projections on the total number of hemp production licensees through 2022.
Per-acre yield and gross revenue estimates for hemp flower, fiber and grain.
An overview of individual crop and whole farm insurance programs available to U.S. hemp producers.

Jade Helm 15, Developements.
I suppose I should be upset and frightened, but I am too old, disabled, and too dependent of certain people for my way of life at this point.... and my knowledge of what must come in the near future according to the KJV Bible sets me free, in a manner of speaking, and my trust in God's promises.
I intend to vote for the most Christian- friendly, most Conservative person for President, if we get that far, but that, IMHO, is a long way off. The scriptures say: "Do not become unevenly yoked with UNBELIEVERS..." but sometimes it's hard to tell if someone is lying or putting on a good show until after you've connected, or 'fallen for them' --- and I guess I am a 'slow learner,' my misfortune. We all have some sort of weakness. At any rate, it's a little late in the game for me to 'jump ship', especially with my age and conditions/ dysfunctions. Yet, I always like having a "B- Plan" and a hidden trap door buried in the mix. All these happenings and spooky new observations lately were also foretold to happen in the 'Last Days scenario' and we should not be surprised, yet for us older ones, we are shocked that this is the country that we fought for in her wars that represented true FREEDOM to the world, something that we thought we could depend on ! And now that is gone, too. Sorry.
This is a documented report (as stated n the very last part)! Feel free to forward this to all your contacts!

Something very unusual is now happening
( INTELLIHUB) — Photos and video footage have started to pour in out of Colorado with the kick off of the massive 4,000 troop war game known as Raider Focus.
The war games include the largest military convoy seen in the state since World War II and, indeed, the footage released so far does show a series of massive military convoys traveling through a rest stop near Trinidad, Colorado.
Interestingly, the photos show that the military is moving razor wire within the convoy and although what has been photographed so far isn't that much, when you consider the fact that convoys are leaving every thirty minutes you can imagine how much razor wire could be moved.
Some have speculated that the razor wire could be connected to possible military camps within Colorado or could be used for internment of American citizens.
As Intellihub News has documented multiple times, plans and training for internment camps in America are a documented fact.
"Here is the official U.S. federal government and military documentation confirming that they are erecting an extensive framework and infrastructure of internment camps in the United States, in preparation for economic collapse and mass civil unrest,"wrote Timothy A. Pope.
In 2009 the National Emergency Centers Act (H.R. 645), was introduced in Congress, mandating the establishment of "national emergency centers" to be located on military installations for the purpose of providing "temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster," according to the bill. In addition to emergencies, this legislation is designed to "meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security," an open-ended mandate which could mean just about anything they want it to mean, including the forced detention of American citizens in the event of widespread rioting after a national emergency or total economic collapse.
In February of 2010 the Internment and Resettlement Operations (FM 3-39.40) was leaked, a U.S. Army manual outlining policies for processing detainees into internment camps both globally and inside the United States. That is against the Law of Nations.
In 2009 the National Guard posted a number of job opportunities looking for Internment and Resettlement Specialists (31-E) to work in "civilian internee camps" within the United States, with the job description: "Internment/resettlement specialists are primarily responsible for day-to-day operations in a military confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility."
In December of 2011 Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), a government defense contractor, issued a Project Overview of anticipated requirements in "establishing a National Quick Response Team for our current Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) work," and was specifically seeking sub-contractors to staff and outfit "emergency environment" camps located in five regions of the continental United States.
In 2006, KBR was contracted by Homeland Security for $385 million to build detention centers designed to deal with "an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S.," or the rapid development of unspecified "new programs" that would require large numbers of people to be interned. Does that ring a bell? It should. It's called "Immigration Reform," and they have been planning this for a very long time.
Soon after KBR's announcement, a little-known Army document surfaced, entitled Civilian Inmate Labor Program. The unclassified document describes in detail Army Regulation 210-35, first drafted in 1997, which underwent a "rapid act revision" in January of 2005 and now provides a policy for the creation of labor programs and prison camps aboard Army installations and other U.S. military bases.
Congressman W.G. "Bill" Hefner (D-NC) wrote a now infamous letter to Zell Setzer of Setzer Insurance and Associates, Salisbury, NC, on March 24, 1997, regarding information "pertaining to the Army's policy and guidance for establishing civilian inmate labor program and civilian prison camps on Army installations." Congressman Hefner confirmed to Mr. Setzer that "the program has been funded, staffed, and does not reflect current Army policy," denoting a preconceived future agenda. That is the very definition of a conspiracy between two or more people.
Under the indefinite detention provision of the National Defense Authorization Act For Fiscal Year 2011, which was signed by Barack Hussein Obama on New Year's Eve of 2011—when most of the Congress was home on Christmas vacation—American citizens can be legally (not lawfully) kidnapped and detained indefinitely without charge or trial, and subjected to extreme rendition with no due process of law. The Guardian, a London paper, called the NDAA an "historic assault on American liberty." Forbes called it the "greatest threat to civil liberties Americans face." The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the indefinite detention provision of the NDAA ever since, refusing to follow the Supreme Law of the Land, which is the Constitution for United States of America, compelling Tangerine Bolen to write concerning Pulitzer prize-winning reporter Chris Hedges' and other prominent journalists' lawsuit against the federal government, "We are no longer a nation ruled by laws."
The U.S. Army Military Police training manual for Civil Disturbance Operations (FM 3-19.15), describes the "operational threats of the civil disturbance environment," the "general causes for civil unrest," weapons deployment, the legal considerations of "control force operations," the legal considerations of "apprehension, search, and detention," and recording the "number of cadre and inmates injured or killed." This 115-page manual represented at the time of its publishing a shocking new insight into how the U.S. military plans to violently quell unrest in the aftermath of a total economic collapse or other national emergency, with rules of engagement regarding the use of "deadly force" in confronting "dissidents," which were made disturbingly clear with the directive that a "warning shot will not be fired."
Currently, the ongoing and expanding United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) Jade Helm 15 is underway, the Realistic Military Training (RMT) exercise conducted throughout the American Southwest and in 11 states to "Master the Human Domain" via "unconventional warfare." This so-called exercise declares Texas, Utah and Southern California hostile territory, driving Texas Governor Greg Abbott to deploy the Texas State Guard to monitor the very questionable operation on non-federally owned land.
The acronym for Jade Helm has been deciphered thus: Joint Assistance for Deployment and Execution (JADE) Holding Element (HELM). Other credible researchers have deduced that HELM actually stands for "Homeland Eradication of Local Militants." Are "militants" those rugged Western Americans who would be expected to fight against such a plan?According to Dave Hodges, "Jade Helm is a dissident extraction drill involving members of special forces who are practicing 'infiltration techniques.' And it's also a martial law drill . . . All military activity in this country is falling under the purview of Jade Helm."
Also at present and more recently, the U.S. Army Special Operations Forces (ARSOF) Operating Concept 2022 is being deployed on U.S. soil to "operationlize the CONUS [Continental United States] base."
Many people mistakenly think that ARSOF is clandestinely about erasing the U.S. borders, but that isn't true, because that has already officially been done. Buried within the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA), which came into force on January 1, 1994, is the La Paz Agreement between the United States and Mexico. This agreement was signed by Ronald Reagan in 1983 and added to NAFTA in 1997. It eliminated the U.S.-Mexico border. That's right. It didn't push the border back, it ELIMINATED it altogether. It's called Border Region XXI (you know, 21 like U.N. Agenda 21 for the 21st Century), under the "Sustainable Development" initiative. Also, the U.S. and Mexican border agencies were COMBINED under the NAFTA/U.N. agreements, and similar unlawful agreements have been made under the World Trade Organization's multilateral General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ( GATT) between the United States and Canada. Border Patrol, you say? What border?
Let me remind everyone that the Constitution for the United States of America clearly defines in Article I, Section 10, Clause 1, that "No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation," confirming that the Supreme Law of the Land is officially no longer in affect in this country.
What ARSOF focuses primarily on is conquering economic resources and strategic landpower, and establishing "superiority over the physical, cognitive, and moral security and adequate governance of key populations" using "unconventional warfare" like Jade Helm. Most disturbingly, this operation's supporting documentation has an entire section on optimizing "Human Capital." Ladies and gentlemen, that's the new code word for you and me, which represents forced labor (See the Civilian Inmate Labor Program above). "Human Resources" and "Human Capital" are interchangeable in this coming New Order. ARSOF claims that "through their understanding of the human domain," they will require their human capital to "maintain expected capabilities." Simply put, they will require the American people to be enslaved.
The fact that we are seeing razor wire being moved in the convoys to Pinon Canyon doesnt on its own mean much but when you consider it in the context of the information above, a startling picture emerges.
As Raider Focus continues more footage will surely be released now that a massive number of Americans are seemingly aware of the push towards martial law and are on the look out for anything suspicious.

The Future Of The Royal Navy's Combat Systems Is AR
The Royal Navy is using AR for a futuristic UI that will promote more efficient ship wide communications.
One of the most important roles on a warship – or any ship for that matter – is the role of the bridge watch officer. Their job is to ensure the safe and smooth navigation of the ship by performing tasks such as comparing compasses, checking sounds through an echo sounder, monitoring all bridge activities, and so much more. It is one of the most crucial roles for the safety of the ship while at sea and when in port.
During a recent media briefing in London, BAE Systems announced that they will be updating a Royal Navy warship with an AR system that will furnish the role of the bridge watch officer with significant data such as radars and sonars, along with other critical and tactical information for faster and more efficient communications between all crew members.
The system will also enhance the AR experience through artificial intelligence.
The role of the bridge watch officer is "quite often overloaded," said Frank Cotton, BAE's head of Technology for Navel Combat Systems, in an interview with The Engineer. Using AR to help connect all the pieces together in an easy-to-navigate digital layout has the ability to make operations much more efficient. Cotton adds, "Rather than giving the bridge watch officer a headset with comms on it, let's give them a set of lightweight augmented reality glasses."
The AR technology that BAE plans on applying is actually a modified system that the Royal Navy currently uses on the new Striker II pilot's helmet. These helmets deliver a blended display of real-world surroundings and digital intelligence which pilots can use to determine differences between enemy and friendly forces, delivering a more precise strike zone within matter of seconds as opposed to minutes.
However, bridge watch officers won't be using the Striker II pilot helmet specifically. Instead, these crewmen will receive AR data through a Microsoft HoloLens that BAE hopes to scale down to something more lightweight and easier to wear during a typical bridge watch officer's shift.
Here's how it work: Once you've reported for duty as bridge watch officer aboard the Royal warship, you put on the HoloLens to launch a futuristic UI that will eventually look like a scene from a big Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster (according to concept photos provided by BAE). The digital surface delivers information from all aspects of the job that will assist sailors in making decisions without having to continuingly connect with other crew members for clarification.
For example, with a HoloLens headset a bridge watch officer could detect an object in the distance and, through AI, get classification data on that object. If the data doesn't match what he/she is seeing, they have the ability to either change the data. If they suspect that something is potentially a hazard for the warship, they can then flag the object in the system directly without having to notify others.
It's using augmented reality as a tool to build a better and more efficient workflow in a military setting.
Technology isn't perfect, and in this case there are some small hurdles for BAE's AR approach, such as how glare from the ocean waters can make it difficult to see data displayed through the HoloLens. However, these minor roadblocks aren't stopping BAE or the Royal Navy from moving forward.
As a matter of fact, other forms of technology outside of AR and AI are actively being explored in the hopes of enhancing military activity within the Royal Navy, such as VR, touch control, gesture control, and voice activation. "Not all of them will be appropriate for the Royal Navy operations room, but some of them will be," said Cotton.
BAE System's AR rollout will cost the Royal Navy £20 million ($27 million) as part of a defense contractor investment in advanced combat systems technology. According to a BAE representative, testing will begin in early 2019 on a Type 23 frigate and could be fully integrated into all of the Royal Navy's ships by the last half of 2019.

Root or R for junior level advanced lab?
I am preparing to teach an advanced lab course and intend to teach statistical analysis. I want to introduce a freeware statistical package. I've been told about Root and R but am unfamiliar with either. I was brought up on Origin but feel I can learn either software and want one that is best suited for an advanced physics lab.

Hi folks, here is a link to a cheapo interface using two transistors+discrete and a ttl buffer to RS232 that goes all the way from (GM) tube to (CRT) tube. We have used this and the included software (using Linux) to do basic counting (lifetime, etc) and coincidence experiments (cosmic rays, positronium from Cu64) with good effect here at YSU. Each pulse is timestamped and coincidences are synthetic; does up to three channels simultaneously.

Ammiji's Amritsari Chholey Masala (200gm)
Chholey are to Amritsar, what Dal Makhni is to Delhi. Every corner has an eatery that will serve kulcha-chholey, matthi-chholey or their own version of the traditional, masala-spiked Amritsari chholey. In Amritsar, when a woman is not in the mood to cook, she'll just order in some chholey to go with roti or rice and serve up a delightful meal. When guests are over, it's chholey that are put on the table first. Then it's only understandable that Amritsaris have perfected the art of cooking chholey.
Ammiji has her own recipes for chholey. There's the curry that goes well with rice, or the dry, spicy version she makes to go with halwa-puri. Or there's this semi-dry version that can be had with kulchas, matthis, rotis or even rice – and that version is our particular favorite. Dunk a plain kulcha in, top it with some chutney and raw onions, and you're in foodie heaven. Or heap the chholey onto a crisp, thin matthi and there, heaven again. This recipe calls for a ground masala, which Ammiji makes herself. After much bantering, we got her to divulge the details of the masala, and here it is!
This masala will add spice to your chholey, and a whole lot of tang; and flavours, layers of flavours, that will make you lick your bowl clean.
How to Use: Boil chholey. Don't keep too much water since this masala is best in a semi-wet, lipta hua gravy. You can add the masala directly to the boiled chholey and let it simmer for a while. Or if you want to make it Ammiji's way, make a tadka of onions, tomatoes, garlic and ginger, and add the masala to that before adding to the chholey. Let us know which way you prefer!
Add 1 tablespoon for about 100 gms of uncooked chickpeas.
Ingredients: Corainder, Cumin, Dry Mango, Caraway, Dry Ginger, Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg, Black pepper, Fenugreek, Hing, Salt.
Contains no onion or garlic. This masala is ground at home, using premium spices. Contains salt, so check before adding more.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Good for: 6 months.
Ammiji's Chai Masala – Classic
70 years ago, a young, frightened and miserable girl got married to a near stranger in Amritsar. Her parents had fixed the match, and she hadn't even seen the groom when she was handed over to him and his family. The fear abated when she plunged into the humdrum life of a housewife, but the misery didn't go away entirely. Her husband was spending long days at work, and the household without him was not an overtly friendly place.
And as some of us are wont to do, that young girl – Rajinder Kaur – sought comfort in Chai. She wanted a reminder of the home she'd left behind; she wanted the fragrance of her childhood to comfort her when it seemed that it had all been a mere dream. But comfort was not to be found in the tea of her new house – it was a thick, overladen concoction, boiled till it was devoid of any delicacy of flavor, consumed without feeling by the rest of the family.
But the young bride was not ready to give up so easily. She made an illicit trip to Majith Mandi, the spice bazaar of Amritsar, and made random purchases. Back home, she experimented with different combinations of spices in her tea, futilely trying to capture the flavor of her childhood. She then asked her mother for her tea masala recipe, but somehow it didn't taste the same when she made it in her new home. And then, Rajinder started cutting off ingredients from her list till she was left with a barebones recipe for chai masala. And her tea was transformed! She finally held in her hands a cup of tea that smelled of warmth and comfort and tasted like all her favorite daydreams.
Now, 70 years on, Rajinder Kaur's grandchildren affectionately call her Ammiji. Beneath the indulgent yet firmly disciplined grandmotherly veneer, Ammiji, at heart, is a storyteller. She has a story for every occasion – sometimes embroidered at the edges and sometimes coming out as a one-liner. Birds, gurus, the city, her now-deceased husband, her children – nothing is immune to her when she's in the mood for yarn-spinning. And from her grandchildren, none will listen to her stories with as much fascination and rapt attention as her eldest granddaughter will. This particular granddaughter had the distinction of being raised up partially by Ammiji and also the slightly dubious distinction of inheriting her storytelling genes.
She has also inherited Ammiji's love affair with tea. The Chai Masala recipe that a young, lost and desperate girl came up with is now a family heirloom – a secret recipe that is being passed down quietly through the generations. This fragrant Chai Masala is the product that spearheaded Ammiji's, and the one that gave her the idea of bringing Ammiji's love to strangers.
You open the jar, and you'll be instantly transported to a fragrant world where dreams are bathed in exotic spices. This secret recipe will transform your ordinary cuppa to one that you wouldn't want to put down. Premium spices are handpicked and sorted to make a blend that's not only fragrant and delicious but also healthy.
Try it out once. You won't regret it.
Ammiji's Parantha Masala
What's a Punjabi without paranthas? There are paranthas made of leftover dal for breakfast, aloo paranthas made for lunch and plain paranthas made to go with the masala mutton at night. And what stays constant in all these paranthas are the spices used.
Ammiji makes her own special blend of parantha masala. Having a masala ready saves times when you're mixing the stuffing for paranthas and perks up plain namak-ajwain paranthas too. That's what Ammiji says and we take her word as gospel.
The spices and herbs for this special masala are individually sun-dried and then ground coarsely. The end result is fragrant and will elevate your paranthas to that irresistible level.
How to Use: Add to the stuffing for stuffed paranthas. Knead into dough for dal or methi paranthas. Sprinkle while folding plain paranthas. Top tandoori rotis with this masala too!
Ingredients: Coriander, Cumin, Caraway, Fenugreek, Black Pepper, Red Chilli, Dry Mango, Dry Ginger, Pomegranate seeds, Clove, Mace, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Salt.
Ammiji's Bullet Mirchi (85gm)
Ammiji likes her mirchi. She thinks bland food is the worst there is. She's been known to spice up her plain raita with a spoonful of red chilli powder or add extra black pepper to her dal. For those who think she's on the right track, here's presenting a condiment that got the quickest nod of approval from her that we've ever got! 😉
Ammiji's Bullet Mirchi is not a mere condiment – it's a cross between a thecha, a dry powdered chutney or the sediment of a chilli oil. Red chillies are sun-dried at home and then stone-pounded with sun-dried garlic and peanuts with the aid of a little oil. There's much deliciousness there. Also, much much fire. A quarter teaspoon is enough to have your socks rocking!
The first time we experimented with this recipe, we were literally blown away with the magic it added to our meals. Hence, the name. This is truly that blast you need to take your meals from the mundane to the oh-my-god-i-can't-stop-eating level.
Works beautifully as a topping for snacks like vada pao, momos, grilled chicken, etc. Can also be added to marinades. Or we'll tell you a secret – wrap it up in a parantha with a sabzi of your choice and watch the fire unfold!
Ingredients: Red Chilli, Garlic, Peanuts, Salt, Rock Salt, Curry Leaves, Mustard Oil.
Weight: 85 gms
Ammiji's Biryani Masala (90gm)
Ammiji's favorite way to cook rice was what she called the Navrattan Pulao. Each time a meal was served for guests, we knew that the pièce de resistance was going to be carried in, demoulded on to a lavish platter. It was a cake of three differently coloured rice studded with fried paneer cubes, peas, carrots and cashews. And it smelled like the best corner of heaven!
That aroma of her Navrattan Pulao is what we've captured in this unique spice blend. From the humble cumin to the exotic kopec buds, each ingredient in this blend is blessed with Ammiji's nod of approval.
Add this masala to whatever biryani you're cooking, and we promise that the neighbors will know that you're cooking biryani. Add it to your peas pulao, and enjoy the sweetness of peas against the earthiness of the spices. We've even added this masala to the humble khichdi – and with excellent results!
To use: Add 1-2 teaspoons per cup of rice to your biryani or pulao.
Ingredients: Cumin, Coriander, Fennel, Black Cumin, Cinnamon, Star Anise, Bay Leaves, Red chilli, Nutmeg, Kebabchini, Mace, Brown Cardamom, Green Cardamom, Clove, Black pepper, Stone flower, Kopec buds, Rose petals, Dehydrated onion, Garlic, Ginger, Turmeric, Saffron
Good for 6 months: Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Ammiji's Garam Masala
Ammiji spends an hour or so in the kitchen every morning. She can't stand straight because her back is bent, so she'll perch upon a high wooden stool set directly in front of the stove, and set about making a dish or two for the day. Yes, she's 90 but she cooks her own sabzis. When you offer to help her out in the kitchen, she'll grudgingly let you, but only up till a point. When her sabzi or dal is almost ready, she'll shoo you out on some pretext or the other, and proceed to turn the ordinary dish into one that's really not ordinary.
It took us a while to catch on to her secret. A lot of failed conversations, a few grudging admissions and a whole lot of argument led us to wrangle the recipe out of her. And once made, we had the most fragrant spice blend imaginable. Was it a garam masala? Ammiji said it was. But this was no ordinary garam masala. It was garam and it was a masala, but we could have added a few superlatives in there.
A pinch of this extraordinary masala is all you need to make your dish sublime. This is rather unlike the garam masalas available in the market where you have to add at least half a teaspoon. This tiny jar will last you a long time. And we promise, you'll be wanting another one when the jar threatens to be empty.
Ammiji's garam masala is addictive. Whoever has used it has kept on using it. A caterer friend uses the masala in the dishes he sets up for events and parties, and he's so happy with the result that he orders this by the kilo. Go ahead, see what the fuss is all about.
Ingredients: Cumin, Cinnamon, Piper Longum, Coriander, Black Cardamom, Clove, Star Anise, Stone Flower, Green Cardamom, Mace, Ginger, Red Chilli, Nutmeg, Rock Salt.
We use only top-notch, premium spices for all our spice blends. This is homemade in small batches and packed at home. No one outside Ammiji's family is allowed to touch the garam masala when it's being made – it's that precious…
Ammiji's Chai Masala – Digestion
We've come full circle when it comes to health and what we use to ensure that we maintain good health. The ancient wisdom of Ayurveda advises us to look to the kitchen to keep our body free of small ailments. We seem to have forgotten this for some time, but we're back where we started and increasingly leaning towards using natural healing that originates in our kitchens.
And Ammiji's firmly believes in natural healing for small ailments that nag us on a daily basis. That's why our range of chai masalas target a sense of wellbeing. Because what is chai if not comfort and wellbeing?
Ammiji's Digestion Chai Masala contains ginger, saunf and pipli along with the base spices like cinnamon and cardamom. Adding a couple of pinches to your after-meal cuppa will ensure that your digestive system is working in top gear!

When Marylin visited her daughter in Holloway prison on 2 January, she was dismayed to find Sarah looking unwell, and behaving strangely. She remembers a prison guard asking her: "Have you got any idea what's wrong with her?" It was a disconcerting question, because prison staff should have known that Sarah Reed had serious, long-standing mental health problems.
Nine days later, Sarah, 32, was found dead in her cell. The family was told first by the prison that she was found hanging, and later that she was found lying on her bed, with a "sophisticated ligature". The precise sequence of events in the months, days and hours leading up to her death will remain unclear until an inquest is held later this year, but already the tragedy has raised important (if depressingly familiar) questions about the treatment of people with serious mental illness by the criminal justice system, and how that intersects with the institutional racism faced by black Britons.
What is particularly disturbing about Sarah's case, is that her name was already well-known to race and mental health campaigners. In 2012, she was at the centre of a police brutality case, when a Metropolitan Police constable, James Kiddie, was caught on CCTV, yanking her by the hair, dragging her across the floor, pressing on her neck and punching her several times in the head. The footage of the assault is very painful to watch. Kiddie, who accused her of shoplifting, was convicted of assault, dismissed from his job, and given 150 hours community service.
Reed was already struggling with mental health problems when the assault happened; her family say she had never fully recovered from the death of her nine-month-old daughter in 2003, after months in hospital and a distressing battle with illness. But the assault had a profoundly negative impact on Sarah's state of mind, and left her frightened of tall, Caucasian men, often feeling so vulnerable that she would return home to sleep in her mother's bed for protection. She spent chunks of the intervening years sectioned in hospital, and struggled to rebuild her life.
The story of the final years of Sarah Reed's life comes in chapters, marking repeated failings by the state, as different institutions missed opportunities to help her. Speaking publicly about her daughter's death for the first time, Marylin says she feels Sarah was the victim of a "collective failure" by prison officers, doctors, social workers and lawyers. "I knocked on all of those doors, I pleaded with all of them. I believe she was failed by many, and I was ignored by many, especially building up to the time of her dying. My voice hit the floor and nobody answered," she says.
The last meeting she had with Sarah convinced Marylin that Holloway prison was not the right place for her unwell daughter. Unusually, rather than taking her to the visitors' room, guards escorted Marylin into the heart of the prison, to the wing where Sarah was living; they met in a room three doors away from the single cell where she was being held. The officers said they were hoping that Marylin's visit might help Sarah become more co-operative.
A prison officer came to tell her that they had five more minutes together.
Before being sent to prison, Sarah had been receiving treatment at home as a mental health patient, with regular visits from medical staff, under a care in the community scheme. Until the inquest, we won't know what treatment she was getting in prison; all we know is that she felt she was not being helped.
Sarah Reed with her baby.
"His advice was: 'When you get back on the outside, maybe on Monday morning, you can contact her medical team outside, and get them to contact our medical team, to let them know that she's in need of something,' because, he said, 'we're not being listened to'.
The family is at the beginning now of what will be a long fight for answers, but it is already clear that there is a huge determination by campaigners that Sarah Reed's name will not be forgotten. If Sarah was neglected and ignored during her lifetime, there is little chance that her death will be overlooked.
Racial equality campaigners were instrumental in getting Sarah's story out, after the family's efforts to speak to the media initially fell on deaf ears, and prominent figures in the Black Lives Matter movement in the US began to pay attention.
Before she tries to unpick the complicated series of events that led to Sarah's illness and death, Marylin Reed pays tribute to her daughter, a woman whom she describes as "thoughtful' and "warm, kind and loving", someone who loved to dress up in unusual, beautiful clothes, and who liked to come round with clothes to dress up her mother, and her disabled sister. She was very thoughtful, someone who "was always wanting to include others and help others".
"On her good days I was really proud of her. I used to say to her on those days: 'You're beautiful. Try to lift your head above life, the things you've experienced. Try and find your way back.' Unfortunately, she had more bad days than good," Marylin says.
But by the middle of last year Sarah's family began to feel she was finally getting some new stability in her life. Although while sectioned in 2014 she had been arrested and charged with GBH, she had been bailed and housed in a studio flat close to her mother and daughter. She was having weekly visits from a mental health team. Her case was ongoing, but Sarah told her family she had acted in self-defence against a sexual assault.
Then, unexpectedly, at a hearing for the case in October 2015, she was remanded into custody and sent to Holloway. Her family is still not clear why she was imprisoned then, although they believe that further psychiatric assessment had been ordered by the court to establish whether she was fit to plead. If this was the case, they are confused about why prison was thought to be a better place for this than hospital.
Marylin was very distressed when she discovered that Sarah had been sent to prison. "I was devastated, because it didn't make sense," she says. Everything had just begun to come together for her daughter. "Everyone got their act together, getting her a home, getting her care in the community," she says.
A month and a half after she arrived, the government announced that Holloway was going to close and the site redeveloped for flats. It is not clear what effect, if any, this had on the daily running of the prison. Marylin notes though that she twice turned up at Holloway expecting to see her daughter, and was told that no appointment had been booked. She doesn't know if this was down to confusion on the part of her daughter or a mistake by the prison.
Campaigners for prison reform are despondent about rising numbers of deaths in custody. Last year five women killed themselves in prison, the highest number since 2007 when concerted action was taken to help vulnerable women in prison. Two more died in January, according to the campaign group Inquest, and there was an 11% rise in self-harm by women in prison in 2015. Across the prison estate self-inflicted deaths are at a record high, with 89 in England and Wales in 2015.
Most of all, Marylin is angry at the failure of those who were responsible for Sarah Reed to deal adequately with her mental health needs. She hopes that at least some lessons may be learned.
"I'd like the UK to overhaul how they treat people with mental health issues. People don't get up in the morning and decide to have mental health issues. Mental health is like all other sicknesses. I would like from my daughter's death, that lessons be learned and that if anybody else goes into the hands of Holloway, any prison or even a hospital, that they be treated as human, and be assessed and their needs be met.

The voice of the people… vox populi… it's what elections are all about.
We all wait expectantly to hear the voice of the people. We respect it even if it says something we don't want to hear.
But sometimes the voice of the people rises up and expels a long, loud… Boo.
It happened at Wednesday's CNBC-sponsored Republican presidential candidate debate.
Moderator Maria Bartiromo was raising a talking point that had nearly submerged the Cain campaign and that has been distracting everyone from today's substantive issues.
Now that a woman has come forth to accuse Herman Cain of actions that fall somewhere between groping and sexual assault, Bartiromo seemed to feel that the issue was legitimate.
She framed it as a character issue. How can the country trust a man who might have committed such actions? What would it say about Herman Cain's character if, in fact, the charges were true?
In the midst of her question, the audience rose up and booed her.
To Mona Charen Republicans were tarnishing their sterling reputation by wallowing in Clintonian hypocrisy. How, she asked, can good Republicans ignore the character issue?
Considering that Charen counts among the best conservative Republicans, her views deserve respectful attention.
Unfortunately, Charen could only make her point by lending credence to the charges. She suggested that Herman Cain appears to be a type of serial sexual predator. How could four or five women be wrong. How could they all be lying? It isn't possible that some of them have exaggerated to gain financial advantage.
We do not know. It is possible that the charges are true. It is also possible that they are not true. Are you really willing to destroy a man's character because of unsubstantiated, and possibly, politically motivated, allegations?
Assuming that they are true for the purposes of argument does not offer a constructive approach to the problem.
In truth, we are dealing with unsubstantiated allegations. We may well be addressing an attempt to defame a man's character. Why are we so quick to accept that Herman Cain was guilty?
Cain vigorously denied the accusations. Why don't we respect his voice? Why doesn't Charen give Cain the benefit of the doubt?
If Cain had said nothing, journalists and pundits would be flooding the airways with stories suggesting that silence must be a sign of guilt.
Besides, it's not just Gloria Allred and Sharon Bialek. The media has ganged on up Herman Cain and is happily working to destroy his character over unsubstantiated allegations.
Ought we not to notice that the media assault is serving the purposes of the Obama campaign?
Whatever did or did not happen, the liberal media has been framing the issue so that it can be used to manipulate the minds of black and female voters.
Liberal journalists and pundits, often the ones who defended Bill Clinton to the death, have been writing stories about how the Republican Party does not care about women. They have been trotting out stories about the prevalence of sexual harassment in the workplace. And they have put African-American voters on notice: see what happens when you deviate from liberal orthodoxy?
In their willingness to wallow in the muck and mire, journalists have thrown a battery of racist innuendos at Herman Cain— a black man sexually assaults a blond woman… hint, hint.
And now Maria Bartiromo wants us all to question Herman Cain's character?
Did she or any of her colleagues consider that Barack Obama's twenty-year relationship with Jeremiah Wright was a character issue? If not, why not?
Did any of the media celebrities who moderate debates question Obama about his association with a preacher who hates Americans and Jews in equal measure?
Keep in mind, Obama's association with Wright was fully substantiated. Obama himself was proud to attend Wright's church and proud to make Wright his spiritual mentor.
As has been amply documented, in 2008 the media became an arm of the Obama campaign.
If the media were a fair and impartial, that would be one thing. If it were offering up objective analysis of the campaign, it would deserve our respect.
In that case booing a question would have been out of line.
Such is no longer the case. If the mainstream media has abandoned any pretense to fairness, why does it deserve to be treated with respect?
If, in the guise of innocent questions, it diminishes and demeans Republicans while glorifying and adoring Democrats, why should a Republican audience take its members as anything but partisan shills?
If you pretend that pseudo-objective journalists are, in fact, fair, you are granting credence to their point of view. To what purpose?
True enough, Maria Bartiromo is not a relentlessly partisan journalist. To my knowledge she is not a partisan at all.
Yet, she was representing the mainstream media at the debate. By asking a question about the unsubstantiated allegations, she breathed life into them.
The more journalists raise the issue, even under the pretense of putting it to rest, the more it stays alive.
This is especially true of slander and defamation. Once such charges enter the public mind they take up semi-permanent residency. The more you mention them the more they become entrenched.
Anyone who brings up the issue in a public forum is perpetuating the slander.
Like it or not the audience at the Republican presidential debate was telling the media that they are fed up with media bias. It was telling Bartiromo and her colleagues to go back to being journalists.
Even if we grant that the audience was rude, how else should one respond to journalists who have sacrificed their professional integrity on the altar of political partisanship?
If you do not call them out, if you continue to treat them with respect, you are giving them a pass on their own manifest character defects.
When people behave disreputably, you do not show them respect. You show them to be unworthy of it.
True enough, in some instances it's right to turn the other cheek. But what do you do when you run out of cheeks?
Of course, Bartiromo wanted to bring up the slander without making it seem that she was playing into the black man/sexual predator narrative. So she asked the question in terms of character and leadership.
Obviously, Herman Cain was indignant and offended.
Yet, Mitt Romney offered what was perhaps a more telling response to the leadership issue.
When Romney was asked about how he could be trusted when he had taken all sides of all issues, he replied that he had been a good and faithful husband for 25, or was it, 42 years.
Whether he was trying to differentiate himself from Cain or Gingrich, he was also trying to cover up his own manifest deficiencies in the area of political leadership.
We applaud the Romney marriage, but isn't it possible for a man to be faithful to his wife and to manifest little consistency or constancy when it comes to policy?
When he says that he is consistent and constant in his marriage, Romney is saying that he is capable of behavior in his private life that he does not exhibit in his public role. Could it be that he thinks it matters in one arena but not in the other?
During the first years of the Obama administration Mitt Romney has not shown any political leadership skills. He did not lead the charge against Obamacare or the stimulus or any other issue?
For many Republicans this means that Romney is in it for himself more than for the party.
It's worth recalling that Mitt Romney's background lies in consulting and management. Consulting is not at all the same thing as exercising executive leadership. It requires a very different skill set.
Famed management consultant Peter Drucker once said that different people have different temperaments and are suited to different careers. He offered that he himself is perfectly suited to being a management consultant, but would be unsuited to the job of exercising everyday executive leadership.
True, the former governor of Massachusetts does have executive experience. Yet, as New Gingrich pointed out, Romney governed as a manager more than as a leader. He was happy to cooperate with Democrats in passing their kind of health insurance reform and in working with them on the nation's first cap-and-trade bill.
Political leadership involves more than a sterling record of marital fidelity, especially when Republicans and Democrats are not being held to the same standards. And it might even manifest itself in someone who has been divorced... like Ronald Reagan.

DACA and TPS Beneficiaries Must Be Part of Any Conversation About Immigration Reform
Posted by Jorge Loweree | May 20, 2019 | DACA/DAPA, Humanitarian Protection, Reform, Temporary Protected Status
President Trump unveiled an immigration proposal last week that would make drastic changes to our family-based immigration system and impose new security measures at our southern border. While the United States has not made major changes to its immigration system in over three decades, any meaningful immigration reform must address the needs of our current population of unauthorized immigrants. This includes the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who currently live and work in the United States lawfully under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) programs.
There are over 673,000 DACA beneficiaries living and working throughout the United States today. The typical DACA beneficiary was six years old when they came to the United States, and they have all been in here for more than 11 years.
Approximately 325,000 TPS beneficiaries from 13 different countries live in the United States. This includes approximately 195,000 from El Salvador and 57,000 from Honduras – two of the three countries in the northern triangle of Central America currently experiencing mass emigration due to violence, poverty, and corruption.
The Trump administration has attempted to abruptly end protections for all DACA beneficiaries and the vast majority of participants in the TPS program. In the case of TPS, these decisions were made despite warnings from career staff within the Department of State. But the administration's efforts have been delayed by various federal courts. These decisions have offered nearly 1,000,000 participants in both programs a temporary but tenuous lifeline.
Most recently, the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the revocation of DACA was unlawful. The case will likely join a similar case from the Ninth Circuit on appeal to the Supreme Court, where the dynamics could rapidly change.
Given the length of time that they have spent in the United States, DACA and TPS beneficiaries are fully integrated members of our communities and broader economy. Any effort to force them to collectively leave would be contrary to our country's economic and national security interests.
The DACA program has had a profound impact on its participants. In the seven years since the program was created, many beneficiaries have moved into higher-paying jobs under better working conditions. They've also seen a 78 percent increase in their wages. DACA has also positively impacted the U.S. economy by increasing the purchasing power of recipients. Overall, DACA recipients have become increasingly integrated in our economy, educational institutions, and society.
A comprehensive study of TPS beneficiaries from Haiti, El Salvador, and Honduras found an exceedingly high labor force participation rate of between 81 and 88 percent, and beneficiaries from these nations are also the parents to approximately 273,000 U.S. citizen children. More than half of those from El Salvador and Honduras have been here for at least two decades, and roughly 30 percent own homes and have mortgages.
TPS beneficiaries clearly have extraordinarily strong ties to the United States. Any effort to terminate their benefits, and those of their families, would significantly and unnecessarily disrupt their lives.
Many questions remain about what comes next, and both programs could fall into disarray following a negative decision in their respective appeals. The president's renewed interest in immigration reform presents a unique opportunity to revisit DACA and TPS and pursue a permanent legislative fix. The House Judiciary Committee is moving forward with a markup of several bills that would do just that on Wednesday.

This year I wanted to make a conscious effort to read more non-fiction and I was pretty happy with my effort. I started the year with Mara Wilson's autobiography/essays and finished it with Lindsey Fitzharris' biography of Joseph Lister. Of course I balanced this out with a strong handful of Star Wars, dipping my toes into the wonder (horror) of the EU and the new cannon. I blame Never Tell Me The Pods for my Star War obsession, which is something I'm actually enjoying.
I also continued my quest to read more women in sci-fi and loved Claudia Gray's Bloodline. I read Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice after a recommendation from Justine and while it was full of things I love (AI, space opera, feminist ideals) I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. Maybe I'll go back and finish off the series but it's not a high priority.
I had been introduced to Lindsey Fitzharris via mortician extraordinaire Caitlin Doughty's videos (whom also has a couple of great books out). I enjoyed Lindsey's own Youtube series 'Under the Knife' as well and wanted to know more about early surgical practices. This book does not disappoint. Although reading about cutting people's legs off (and getting a testicle, your assistant's fingers, and slashing the coat of an observer) while eating your lunch might not be the best thing to do. Overall The Butchering Art is a well written biography that had me hooked from the beginning.
For the GLAMers out there, I also did some of my own research on Trove and found how Australia reported the cases presented in the book.
Then I found how Australian newspapers reported Dr Liston's experiments with Æther! https://t.co/asUC1BQarV The Butchering Art is great btw!
I forget now how I was introduced to Octavia E. Butler and her Xenogenesis series but I'm glad it happened. This is one of the best and weirdest series I've ever read, yet it is also the most human. Chronicling the 'saving' of humanity by visiting aliens, the Oankali, who find new species to interbreed with, create a new species, then go off to start the process all over again. It just happens that humanity all but destroyed themselves in a global war and the Oankali have saved the survivors in cryosleep, only to awake them 250 years later and start the sharing of genetic material. Lilith's Brood is actually three books (Dawn, Adulthood Rites, and Imago), each dealing with different parts of this process.
There are some heavy themes presented in this trilogy. Sexuality, slavery, colonisation, gender, race, genetics, and xenophobia are all major themes of this series, often times they are subtle but more often they are quite confronting. The over arching theme I took away from it was what it means to be human. While the first book was excellent, I did find the last two a bit of a slog as the allegories become speeches and Butler dives deep into how destructive humanity ultimately is. I am very glad I read these books, they are wonderful and confronting works that I would recommend. My only suggestion is maybe have a break between books, let your mind reflect and recover rather than immersing yourself into it fully.
My pile of shame is actually quite respectable this year (if you don't count the EU books). The only one I wish I had time to read was A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers. I'll be sure to put it at the top of my reading list though.

Samsung's app store is the latest entity affected by the sanctions against Iran
Ricardo Bilton
Sanctions in Iran are making it tough for tech companies -- including Samsung -- to do business there.
The United States-led sanctions against Iran have impacted another company: Samsung and its app store.
As of May 22, Iranian Samsung phone owners will no longer have access to Samsung's app store, as the Associated Press reports.
Since the late '70s, the U.S. has used sanctions to target the Iran's pocketbook. While this is all done in an attempt to influence Iran's policies, the sanctions have had a greater affect on the Iranian people and the foreign companies that still work within its borders.
In a message sent to customers, Samsung blamed "legal" barriers for the move, though there isn't much detail beyond that.
There are a few theories, however. Farhad Alavi, a lawyer whose practice focuses on international trade issues, says the move is all about covering up what he calls the "exposure points" in Samsung's Iran operation."The problem that you have with something like an app store is that lots of those apps are probably made by Americans," he said.
Above: While the US imposes a blanket ban on exporting American-made devices to Iran, devices like the iPhone are still popular there.
There's also the server question. Samsung may be a Korean company, but if any of the servers housing its services or apps are in the U.S., dealing with Iran could expose it to significant blowback from the U.S. government. It's hard to say for sure.
Jamal Abdi, policy director at the National Iranian American Council, also points to the financial concerns companies like Samsung face when dealing with sanctioned countries.
"There's a huge chilling effect that the sanctions have had on companies. If you do business with Iran, it's often tougher to do business with the U.S.," Abdi said. Current sanctions also place restrictions on what kinds of financial transactions come out of Iran, which also complicates things for Samsung.
That's a lot to take in and worry about, which is why it's not all that surprising that Samsung decided to give up on its app store in Iran rather than try to hash through its legality.
We've reached out to Samsung for more details on the situation, but the company has yet to respond.
With the move, Samsung joins companies like Huawei and Nokia-Siemens, which began winding down its operations in Iran last year. At the time, Nokia said that the sanctions against Iran made it almost impossible to do business in the country, and it's probably fair to assume Samsung has been under similar pressure.
Notably, Samsung is unique among tech companies in its localized support for Persian, which is spoken by 110 million people. U.S. export restrictions prevent companies like Apple and Microsoft from selling their products in Iran at all, as Apple's corporate policy on export sales notes. (Not that that prevents Iranians from getting their hands on Apple products.)
Iran remains a significant market for Samsung, which is why it's unlikely that the company is going to completely give up on the country anytime soon.

What happens to your garbage after you get rid of it? If you're like most people, you don't give it much thought, but whether or not you know it, you're thinking about it more than past generations. Simply separating glass or plastic from regular garbage and putting it in the recycling bin is more than many people did in the past. As a result, we're wasting fewer resources, depositing less non-biodegradable waste into landfills, and keeping our air and water cleaner. However, even though we're smarter than we've ever been about disposing our waste responsibly, there's still a lot that isn't common knowledge.
The American household generates a lot of waste over the course of a year, and not all of it falls into an easily identifiable category. For example, most everyone knows now that glass or plastic bottles should be recycled to save energy and keep them out of landfills, but what about bottles that are half-filled with household cleansers? Fluorescent light bulbs are made of glass, but does that mean they're safe to put in the recycling bin? What should you do if you have old car tires or a broken washing machine that you have to get rid of?
Although much of the garbage and waste generated by the average American household easily can be thrown away in the garbage can or recycling bin, occasionally there will be items that you're not sure how to dispose of properly. In those cases, you may need to consider an alternative method of disposal, such as a hazardous waste facility or hiring a junk removal service. The following guide tells you how to get rid of almost anything you may need to dispose of safely. If you're unsure of what to do with certain items, take a moment to think about it and make sure you're disposing of those items in the most responsible manner.
