activities. These activities may occur over time and space.” Cumulative impact may, for example, be the result of the repetitive occurrence of a single activity, the combined effect of multiple activities by one or several agents, orvities. Cumulative impact may be additive or interac-
Environmental Impact Assessment Processes The Madrid Protocol sets in place a tiered system of environmental impact assessment as one of the primary means by which activities in Antarctica come under scrutiny. However, the system works on a project-by-project basis and does not immediately and obviously provide mechanisms for assessing cumulative impacts. Environmental impact assessment done jointly by governmental and/or nongovernmental operators could overcome some of the problems inherent in this piecemeal approach. Another mechanism frequently employed by national Antarctic programs— although not required by the Protocol— is that of environmental reviews or auditing, where the environmental impacts of existing projects or programs are assessed. These studies are also subject to the same shortcomings with respect to cumulative impacts as are EIAs. However, they could, if constructed in the right way, be used to

assess the cumulative impacts of multiple activities over time and/or space. Workshop participants agreed that in order to ensure that environmental impact assessments and reviews or audits better address cumulative impacts that: (1) wherever obligations regarding environmental impact are identified, it should be taken that this includes cumulative impacts; and (2) that environmental audits, along with monitoring programs, should be encouraged as a way of assessing cumulative impacts from existing activities.
Protected Area Mechanisms Another major component of the Protocol is its system for designating  restrict entry for scientific and/or protection reasons, andareas subject to high and/or multiple uses. In both cases, management plans are the key to ensuring that the values of the area are protected. It is the ASMA category, however, which seems to offer a particularly good means of addressing area-specific cumulative impacts. Essentially, the processes of writing and operating a management plan for a multiple-use area will “internalize” the impact. By widening the scope of the activities being considered in a single plan, the likelihood increases that activities whose impacts are contributing to the overall impact are considered and managed within that plan. Permits are required to authorize activities in ASMAs, and, by providing a record of activities, they could contribute to better management of cumulative impacts. Other ways in which protected area mechanisms could and should be used in the management of cumulative impacts include: (1) designation of short-term ASPAs to provide interim protection while long-term operations are developed; (2) identification of pristine or near-pristine areas and the setting aside of large areas to protect the integrity of remote regions; and (3) designation to allow time for recovery of areas degraded in the past. However, it cannot be overemphasized that these mechanisms will only work effectively in a climate of strong and effective cooperation and communication among all operators in the area in question.
Information Exchange and Management Eamong operators is critical for the minimization of cumulative environmental impacts. Those unfamiliar with Antarctica would probably be surprised at the difficulty faced in trying to build up a picture of activities that are taking place, or have taken place, in a particular location. On closer consideration, however, this is not so surprising, givenduct activities in Antarctica, and the complete absence of a central repository for this sort of information. Antarctic Treaty governments have developed some rudimentary forms of information exchange, but they are not geared towardnagement. One of the outgrowths of this workshop was the recommendation that this system be reviewed in order to provide information more useful for these purposes. For example, there needs to be timely and frequent distribution of lists of completed and planned environmental impact assessments and permits issued, so that someone considering an activity can identify potential overlaps or conflicts. Along with increased information exchange comes an ever-increasing call for effective systems of managing . It was also suggested that in areas with multiple operators (e.g., where there are several stations) a common database of activities in the area would be very useful. Workshop members noted that it will not be possible to meet cumulative impact obligations without an effective data management system. This statement is easily made, but in practice such a system will require: (1) links with national Antarctic program data systems; (2) links with data from Antarctic scientists and operators; (3) consistency of data for comparability; (4) cost and cost effectiveness; (5) ensuring public access; and (6) global information systems (GIS).

International Cooperation It is obviously preferable to avoid cumulative impacts from the start. A key way in which the overall impact of human activities in the Antarctic can be reduced is through a reduction in duplication of activities, particularly the logistical infrastructure. As well as the clear benefits that accrue to the environment from different operators pooling their logistic resources (e.g., through sharing stations), a wider concept ofd. In particular, in areas of high and multiple-operator use, there is room for considerably more interoperator cooperation and even joint planning. It will not be possible for operators planning an activity to be able to assess and mitigate cumulative impacts unless they have full knowledge of activities conducted in the past and planned for the future by other operators in the area. To address these needs, one could envisage regional planning and management groups composed of all those who operate in a given area. Such groups would jointly plan activities so as to avoid overlaps and conflicts, and would be able to foresee where, for example, multiprogram environmental impact assessment exercises would be useful. Such work might lead to tourist operators deciding to vary their routes, scientists choosing a
different study site, or two stations sharing new fuel facilities. It will also be important that all operators—even those that may not (yet) be inside the Antarctic Treaty System—plan and conduct their activities in the same spirit of international cooperation.
Further Research Many aspects of cumulative impacts are not well understood, and a wide field of research is opened up by questions such as: “What are the mechanisms, pathways, and processes by which impacts accumulate,” and “Which parameters should be studied or monitored to measure impacts on wildlife?” For example, changes in population seem obvious, but other measures such as habituation of recruitment or age distribution may be just as important.
Long-term Challenges In the long term, yet another level of complexity will need to be addressed. For example, the effect on dependent and associated ecosystems, including the marine ecosystem and Subantarctic islands, from Antarctic activities will have to be included in any assessment and management of cumulative impacts. The effects of activities outside Antarctica, such as global climate change and transboundary contamination,will also need to be tackled.
Management of cumulative impacts is undeniably a major challenge for those who have guardianship over Antarctica. Almost by definition, cumulative impacts are difficult to foresee and avoid or mitigate, but the obligations set by the Protocol mean that these are challenges that must be met. IJW

Lateral flow tests will remain free in Wales until July, as health authorities estimate one in 45 people have Covid.
Tests will be available to anyone showing symptoms, as well a treatments, the Welsh Government said on Friday.
It is extending access to free lateral flow tests until July 31.
The emergence of two new variants are contributing to the spike in cases as they become more dominant across the UK, the Government said.
The public are being urged to wear masks in health and care settings, self isolate and to get vaccinated.
“I,” said.
Meanwhile, self-isolation payments of £500 will be scrapped on June 30 but the Covid Statutory Sick Pay Enhancement scheme will be extended until the end of August to encourage social care staff to stay away from work if they test positive.
Mr Morgan said it’s “”.
“As we have seen before, Covid can quickly change. IIn the week ending June 18, the most recent 7-day reporting period, there were 8,451 positive PCR and lateral flow tests recorded, NHS Wales data shows.

Besides Magic: The Gathering, I am also a fan of Dungeons & Dragons, and I am currently running a play-by-post campaign that merges both those hobbies together, with the PCs being newly-sparked Planeswalkers who each possess a mysterious talisman of draconic origin. This has prompted me to begin working on a mini-set that focuses on those characters, as well as a number of major NPCs who are also Planeswalkers, some friendly, and some hostile.
Since the PCs, as well as a couple of "part-time" NPC party members, are all new to the ways of the 'walker, I decided to create cards based on them using the M15 Sparkers template, with the legendary creature side being monocolour and the 'walker side being dual-colour. All ten colour pairs are represented, and the pre-spark forms have each single colour represented twice.
Seven other Planeswalkers appear in the set as well: five are monocolour (two friendly, one hostile and two antagonistic); one is a sparker who's dual-colour on both sides of the card; and one is going to be either a green-white sparker who adds black when he transforms, or a straight-up colorless or white-black-green tricolour 'walker (I forgot how to adjust a card's mana cost to display KTK wedge order, but I do know there's a way to deactivate the "mana auto-correct").
Now, the cards aren't intended to be playable (and balance-wise, they're probably WAY off), but they are a fun way to bring a bit of MTG representation to an MTG-themed D&D campaign. So far I've completed five of the main sparkers, as well as their common and uncommon signature spells; I've also finished all ten dual lands.
Many of the other cards are named as well, and the set count has already climbed to an even 100! I might start posting samples of the cards, and who knows, there may be a way to make them playable. With (at least) eleven sparkers and ten legendary creatures, there's potential for some flavourful custom commanderset introduction, and have an awesome day!

I like how colorful your site is. Do you know about SEO?
Why aren't you leaving a comment or "like" on YouTube?
It looks like you are having more fun as a clown than a magician.
You are right. But there two disadvantages. One is the time it takes to put on the outfit. The other is prospects want to pay less to clowns.
I charge the same for a clown magic show or just a magician . If they want tricks I do not do that plenty of clowns do tricks I do magic you are in the same category.Getting in and out of the outfit stinks when you got only one show and it does take way longer no doubt. Also I signed up for an account just to leave a comment. Will you be going to the WCA convention in NYC.
Last week I received a call from a prospect. I gave her my clown price in three figures. She told me another clown priced her only $70 dollars to do face painting and balloons for an hour. Of course she picked the other clown.
Thanks for the kind comment on YouTube.
I might go to WCA. It all depends if I have any shows to do. I do not like turning away shows.
At the convention their is going to be a clown trop from Japan I got to admit they are unreal. My alley is hosting it I am going to compete hope I can place .
found this to be very common, Mike. One of the primary reasons is that undercutting anything-for-a-buck and beginner clowns can get away with far less skill than a magician can. They truly believe that the make-up and costume makes them a clown worthy of that $70. I saw the most atrocious and unskilled husband-&-wife pair of clowns yesterday at a charity event I do each year. When I asked the organizer about them, her response was - they were free. My response, "They're not worth it." She agreed.
I retired my clown after 30 years - one of the hardest things I've ever done - because my magician character earned higher fees, was far less trouble to prep for shows and made approaching skittish children far easier. The magician was also far easier to sell to schools, libraries, churches and preschools than the clown.
Your website is colorful and fun, but I agree with Bernie - More photos, fewer words. Your videos are great, but, in my opinion, should be shorter. I don't believe that the average shopper is going to sit through a 5-10 minute video or read everything written on your site. Short bullet statements and short, fun & informative videos.
Did I ever mention that one of my best buddies, Ross "Rosco the Clown" Champion, works festivals and corporate gigs in your neck of the woods? He recently completed a major conservation PR event with a Canadian clown, CLaroL - Swimming in all five of the Great Lakes in 24 hours sponsored by Ford.
Thank you very much for leaving me with so much information. I appreciate it.
This is my new website I am working on it is 85% done any feed back would be great.

Big Hero 6 Soars With Comic Book Fun
 Published November 7, 2014 10:30 AM
I recently was lucky enough to be invited by Disney to catch a sneak preview showing of the movie, Big Hero 6. I, like the rest of the world, had been seeing previews and trailers/commercials for this movie for quite some time and really wanted to check it out. When I received the email it was a no brainer that I had to attend my first "early screening."
One of the benefits of living in the New Jersey/New York area is that I can go into the city pretty much whenever I please. The screening was held at the AMC 25 and this is a massive movie theater. Any theater that has you go up more than 2 escalators to get to your theater is pretty big.
Disney Infinity figures go that extra mile in terms of detail and Big Hero 6 is no different. I know this because Disney gave everyone in the theater their own Hiro and Baymax Disney Infinity figures, which will look pretty sweet on my desk! It was tough to hear the presentation because a lot of the people who attended brought their children to the screening. I'm not saying that was a bad thing, it just made things a little hard to hear. Anyway, on to the movie!
For starters, Big Hero 6 had a darker tone than what I was expecting. You're introduced to Hiro in the underground robot fighting arena of San Fransokyo where he wins easily, so much so that he played the king pin of the fighting ring for a fool. Throw in Tadashi, his older brother to get him out of practically any jam. They would do anything for each other but would you expect anything less from brothers. If it wasn't for Tadashi inventing Baymax, a robotic healthcare provider, than Hiro and Baymax would never have teamed up.
If the writing doesn't stand up, then the movie will suffer. Luckily, Big Hero 6 doesn't have that problem and wonderfully written. The interaction between Hiro and Tadashi really makes you think they really are brothers. The same could be said for the team, Big Hero 6. Their interaction makes you think they truly care for Hiro in his toughest hour as well as spending all their time together at the college! Also how Hiro and Baymax share a bond even though one is a robot was written very well too.
In a way, I see myself in Hiro, not knowing what he wants in life and then working hard for something. I feel like the way I came into writing is just like that. Anyway, now I can talk about Fred, the Campus mascot by day and the Campus mascot by night! Fred loves science but doesn't match up with the others, mentally. He makes for that with monster/comic smarts, which is vital in a super hero team. Combine that with the fact that his family is wealthy and he spins signs! That combination isn't given to just anyone!
There are plenty of heart-felt moments in the movie, but did you expect anything else from a Disney movie. I won't spoil them for you but I can give you one piece of information, stay through the end credits, you won't be disappointed!
Big Hero 6 screams family and values, like friends. It shows you that you shouldn't take familyThe movie also shows that you shouldn't waste your natural abilities/gifts like Hiro was doing at the start of the film. I think I'm in Hiro's corner on the robot fighting front but then again I'm not a robotics master. The animation, characters, and writing all show that Disney hasn't skipped a beat and still knows what people want to see in their film!

deep learning methods and neural-network-based models can be implements to uncover structure - bioactivity correlations.
Any fluid handling instrument known in the art can be used in systems of the invention. In certain embodiments, the liquid handling instrument is a Biomek liquid handler (for example I-series) as produced and sold by Beckman Coulter. Description of such liquid handler are described for example in U.S. patent numbers 10,274,505; 10,048,284; 9,910,054; 9,519,000; 9,506,943; 9,482,684; 9,446,418; 9,285,382; 9,274,132; 9,140,715; 9,046,506; 9,046,455; 8,996,320; 8,973,736; 8,962,308; 8,956,570; 8,932,541; 8,840,848; 6,841,379; and 5,737,498phoretic probes and systems are described further for example in U.S. patent application publication number 2019/0019662n aspects, the invention makes use of electrophoretic forces to displace interfering solution-phase ions prior to chemical analysis, i.e., move solution- phase ions to a region of the solution remote from the sprayer. In certain embodiments, the probes of the invention employ two electrodes to create an electrophoretic field by means of which ions, such as H + , Na + , K + , Br , Cl , Acetate , Formate , etc., can be manipulated. Except for H + and OH , these solution phase ions cause deleterious effects during mass spectrometric (MS) analysis by causing a single analyte (M) to have multiple signals (e.g., M + H + , M + Na + , and M + K + ), or by suppressing analyte signals altogether. These adducts not only lower the signal of the analyte, but also result in cluster formation, congested spectra and reduced sensitivity of the MS analyzer. The electrophoretic probes of the invention remove ions from the region from which the analytical spray occurs. The removal is not permanent but persists for long periods and as such it allows mass spectrometry to be performed under normal conditions.
To perform the desalting process, a hollow conduit and an electrode are inserted into a hollow body of a mass spectrometry probe having a distal tip. The hollow conduit is electrically conductive and may be operably coupled to a power source and a reservoir that holds a liquid sample. A distal end of the hollow conduit is positioned in the hollow body to be in contact with the liquid sample that is expelled from the hollow conduit. A separate electrode is placed at the rear of the emitter, not in contact with the liquid sample but connected inductively (e.g., a distal end of the electrode is located at a different distance from the distal tip of the hollow body than a distal end of the hollow conduit, e.g., farther away)). A voltage is applied to the hollow conduit as it transports the liquid sample from the reservoir into the hollow body. The hollow conduit polarizes the liquid sample as the liquid sample flows through the hollow conduit and into the hollow body. This generates a charge body of solution which is connected via the external hollow conduit to one pole of the power supply. In this manner, the liquid sample may act as an electrode. When the appropriate electrical potentials (e.g., DC potentials) are applied to the electrode, the ions migrate to the rear of the capillary, away from the tip of the hollow body.
After a short period, the electrode is turned off while voltage is still supplied to the hollow conduit, which electrical charge continues to be imparted to the liquid sample in the hollow body, even if there is not flow or liquid in the hollow conduit. The spectrum generated has signals related primarily to protonated molecules (M + H + ) and minimal signal resulting from cation adducts of the molecule or from cationic salt clusters. The same experiment can be applied to negative ions using an opposite polarity on the electrodes. The mass spectrometry probe of the invention has been used to improve the analytical performance in the analysis of therapeutic pharmaceuticals, peptides, proteins, and contaminants often found in waste streams.
In certain embodiments, the invention probes an electrophoretic, multi-electrode mass spectrometry probe (e.g., a nano-ESI probe) that operates to rapidly desalt matrices without the addition of any chemical modifiers. The setup, as described herein, is a small capillary which may contain a liquid, such as water. The analyte, is delivered to the tip of the capillary, optionally via a syringe pump (e.g., sample reservoir), connected to an insulated fused silica line (e.g., electrically conductive hollow conduit) for two minutes (4 pL/min). A high voltage connector, HV1, which delivers 1.5 kV to the front of the capillary through conduction of the solvent insulated line via the syringe pump. In certain embodiments, HV1 may be equivalent to a typical spray voltage in any spray based ionization source. The second electrode, HV2, is inside the glass capillary, but not in contact with the solvent (ca 5mm air gap). As shown, HV1 and HV2 each terminate at different distances from a distal tip of the hollow capillary. In the exemplified embodiment, HV2 terminates closer to a rear of the capillary than HV1.
The body of the mass spectrometry probe is a hollow unitary body. This is exemplary and not required in all embodiments. In the context of the invention, unitary refers to the fact that walls of the body of the mass spectrometry probe include no breaks, cuts, or disconnected regions. Rather, the walls of the probe run continuously from the distal tip of the probe to a rear of the probe without any breaks, cuts, or disjointed regions. In that manner, the mass spectrometry probes can operate without the formation of a liquid bridge or any other connector that would be required to connect to parts of a disjointed non-unitary probe body. Similarly, the methods of the invention can be performed without the need for a liquid bridge in the probe set up.
Without being in-source desalting typically occurs in three steps. For positive mode analysis, HV1 is set to (+) 1.5 kV and the syringe pump is operated as described above. The data gathered during step l is a typical spectrum that contains M + H + , M + Na + and M + K + species. Next, a second potential, HV2, is applied inductively to a rear of the solvent meniscus, ranging from -3 kV to -5 kV. While on, the positive ion signal is depleted due to the high negative electric field which sequesters the positive ions to the rear of the capillary. After a time period, (e.g., 1 minute (exemplary time period)), voltage from HV2 is removed (voltage is terminated) and solution-phase ions proceed to the front of the emitter; however, due to mobility, the protons reach the tip of the emitter before Na + and K + resulting in a spectrum containing primarily protonated ions.

Duffy "A Good Bet" For 'Quantum' Title Song
Henry Deedes, in the paper’s Pandora column, writes: “I know, I know, artists being lined up to record the next Bond theme are two a penny. The likes of Amy Winehouse, Duran Duran, Alicia Keys and even Grace Jones have all been punted lately. However, a reliable mole from Bond’s spiritual home at Pinewood Studios tells Pandora it’s almost certainly going to be Duffy.”
Deedes continues, “Yesterday, Ladbrokes said they have accepted one “very serious” flutter on the Welsh pop poppet this week, and have cut her odds to even money. Fill your boots, I say.”
The initial report came from BBC 6 Music. The site asked the songstress whether she had submitted a song for consideration, to which Duffy replied, “Well, a lady never exposes her secrets.”


EnCue by Octava – a new level of concert engagement!
ROCO is the first professional orchestra to premiere EnCue by Octava, a brand new smart phone app that's changing the concert-going experience. Developed by Linda Dusman, composer, and Eric Smallwood, artist, from the University of Maryland, it delivers real-time program commentary from musicians and guest artists. It's not just another way to deliver program notes, however; we have a printed program for that. Instead, think of it like a director's commentary or VH1's Pop-Up Videos. ROCO has found a way to talk and play at the same time!
What Does EnCue by Octava Do?
EnCue by Octava gives the concert-goer "behind the scenes" info on the music from the musicians' perspective. For each EnCue-enabled piece on the program, the app delivers comments from the musicians, about what they are playing or thinking, at the exact moment in the music that corresponds to that comment. It's almost as if they are playing for you and speaking to you at the same time!
How does EnCue work?
At precise moments in the music, a musician's comment appears automatically on your smartphone – you don't have to do anything!
Q: Isn't cell phone glare distracting for those who don't with to participate?
A: No, actually!
Q: This just appeals to a younger generation, right?
A: Not at all!We've had users ranging from 13-91 years old. Many of our older patrons were very excited to test the new platform. In fact, the most enthusiastic one was the 91 year old; she came an hour early to the hall just to be sure she downloaded it and could operate it without distraction!
Q: Will following along distract me from what's happening on stage?
A: Nope!What you read in the app will actually be calling your attention to what your ears are hearing in that moment, or what your eyes can see right then. EnCue users so far have told us that the app added a lot to their concert experience!
Q: Does the app use a lot of mobile data?
A: Data usage is actually quite minimal – no worries there!
– We often get comments, not only from our fabulous musicians, but also from our wonderful guest conductors and composers!What could be more intriguing than hearing directly from the person who wrote the world premiere being performed right in front of you?
One of the exciting things about EnCue is that is can be used at both our live concerts or while following along with our live stream!
3.) You can sign in with Facebook or your email if you want to create an account. This lets you save slides to view later, or share them to Facebook. If you'd rather not create an account, select "skip"
5.) Open the app before EnCue-enabled pieces (indicated by the EnCue logo), and press start. The app will begin automatically once the music starts!


The advantages of unicycle travel are not readily apparent, so I’d keep my answers mostly to myself.
“I have two free hands,” I’d think.
I’d think about how, when I’m on a unicycle, I’m not rushing or being efficient or productive. I feel suddenly as if I’m on top of a planet and not a road. I’m a child again and can change the world’s direction simply with a shift of my body.
As I can, I sometimes also think, living off the grid in a cabin my wife Jennifer and I built in the Kentucky woods, cooking with a solar oven and harvesting rainwater.
“Why do you use so little water?” I sometimes hear society asking.  Because it is heavy and scarce?  Because restraint lends itself to gratitude?  Because I like water?
When an old-growth woods behind our house was about to be logged, it struck me that I was living like I had traveled, on a single wheel.  I could hear a roar, like from a semi—but it was all of society rushing at me; and I prepared to lean into the gust, to keep standing.
Slowspoke:  A Unicyclist’s Guide to America takes readers on a unusual journey—not just across the country on a unicycle—but into a way of life that Americans are finding increasingly rare:  one that practices a recalcitrant slowness.  Mark Schimmoeller’s recollections of his one-wheeled adventure are interspersed with images of present-day off-the-grid homesteading with his wife in Kentucky.

Candidates for mayor and council were grilled about climate change in front of a packed room Monday night at the Nelson United Church.
A forum organized by the West Kootenay EcoSociety, Nelson Interfaith Climate Action Collaborative, and the Citizens’ Climate Lobby brought candidates together to debate five resolutions following a presentation by local scientist Greg Utzig. Of the three mayoral and 19 council candidates, only Bernie Brown and Rob Richichi were absent.
Five candidates were given the opportunity to speak before those in attendance voted for or against each resolution. Below is each resolution, and a roundup of what was said.
Be it resolved that in order to protect taxpayers from these expenses, Nelson sign on to the campaign to hold the 20 biggest fossil fuel corporations accountable for their share of climate change costs.
Be it resolved that Nelson council direct staff to develop and implement a strategy at the community level for meeting the 100 per cent renewable energy by 2050 goal. This plan would be in place by 2020 and include specific milestones for each five-year period.


The war against greening is being waged on many fronts. Here are just a few of the recent developments in the fight:
• In early February, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released $30 million to fund 22 priority HLB research projects.
• In the new state budget, the Florida Department of Agriculture received more than $20 million to carry out additional greening research, grow clean citrus stock, and remove and replace diseased trees. The department also has expanded its citrus budwood center and opened a new “germplasm” facility. Both are intended to help growers replant lost trees and develop new citrus varieties resistant to greening.
• The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved further development of a spinach protein, researched at a Texas A&M, which could be used to produce genetically modified and greening-resistant oranges.
• The state has approved $1 million for a promising University of Florida greening research project. A team is developing a microbial-based product, which, when infused with plant-defense inducers and beneficial bacteria strains, could be a cure for HLB.
• Some growers simply are returning to denser plantings in the groves as a way to increase citrus yields per acre and compensate for trees that might become fatally diseased by greening.
In the fight against greening, this is all good news — the kind that motivates all of us in the citrus industry to battle on until victory over the disease is achieved.

It’s very important for him to get back to Taiwan so has anybody had a similar experience to this and know how he can improve his chances?Know anyone who might know?Richard, have you dealt with this before?
Why can’t he get a landing visa?
quote[quote] Why can't he get a landing visa?
The police in Taipei specifically told him “you won’t be able to come in on a landing visa but you can get a visa in Hong Kong”. Or do you have experience to the contrary?
The more money he can show the better. So if your friend is broke wire him a couple of million bucks spare change if you have!
Of course if the school he is enrolled in is also a no-nonsense type of school,( eg NTU) I am sure the visa can be reextended as they can easily convince the authorities that this ‘lapse’ of memory?
Does anyone know if there’s any hope, any further appeals he can take or anything?
So my big question for colewarren is what exactly do you mean by a guarantor - is this just some kind of vouching for the guy?I don’t think the relationship to the legislator is so close, so if he couldn’t be a guarantor who would be suitable?


The third preseason game is in the books and it’s time to speculate on the makings ofSept. 5.
Quarterbacks (Three - Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb, Michael Vick)
Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb will be there, but after that things could be tricky for Andy Reid.
Either way, things don’t look good for A.J. Feeley’s future in Philadelphia.
Wide Receiver (Six - DeSean Jackson, Kevin Curtis, Jeremy Maclin, Jason Avant, Hank Baskett, Brandon Gibson)
Baskett stays on because of his blocking and special teams play (and his HOT wife coming to games). Gibson is a guy who may spend a lot of weeks on the inactive list on game days but has shown he could be another Avant-type possession guy down the road.
Tight Ends (Three - Brent Celek, Rob Myers, Tony Curtis)
The Matt Schobel era is mercifully over, as the oft-injured free agent signee will not be back in 2009. Curtis is a pure blocker—something the Birds haven’t bothered with at this position for a very long time.
Defensive Lineman (10 - Trent Cole, Darren Howard, Victor Abiamiri, Chris Clemons, Jason Babin, Mike Patterson, Broderick Bunkley, Trevor Laws, Dan Klecko, Juqua Parker)
Bryan Smith hasn’t shown any of the burst they hoped for off the edge, and when you’re undersized you better be fast and/or strong (see Dwight Freeney). Smith doesn’t seem to be either.
Cornerbacks (Four - Asante Samuel, Sheldon Brown, Ellis Hobbs, Joselio Hanson)
Jack Ikegwunou could be practice squad-bound, as could Dimitri Patterson. Both have potential but are caught behind a very deep and talented bunch.


"It's the right time for him," he said. "He doesn't need to take any risks. He's 38 years old and the last punch of his career knocked George Groves out in front of 80,000 people at Wembley. Does he get a bigger finish than that?
"It was a basic one, two. He feinted with the left hook and set himself up perfectly for the right. He caught him flush with it. Groves had his right hand up but he'd dropped his left which saw him exposed. That's not a bad way to end your career. He's bowed out at the top."
Blackledge added: "As a fighter I would've liked to have seen him have one more fight so I could have the chance to spar with him again. I would've liked to have seen him have one more big fight, but the most realistic one was the Chavez Jnr fight. Once he got beat against Andrzej Fonfara that was it for him."
"He was losing that fight on two scorecards but came back to stop him in the last round," recalled Blackledge. "Hfight. It said a lot about Carl Froch. That's what he did - he came on strong in the championship rounds."
"I'll always look up to him because I know just how good he is. I've been in there with him. He should go down as one of Britain's all-time best fighters."


The most common is that a postcode planned delivery doesn't always cover the area that you think it will!
We recently completed a delivery campaign in Portsmouth where the business owner complained bitterly that his branch manager had not received a leaflet "and he only lives across the road from the shop"!
The owner said the delivery "couldn't have been done properly as we had failed to deliver to a property that's only a few yards away from the shop!"

Don Ressler, Businessman Extraordinaire
At times it seems like everything Don Ressler touches turns to gold. Along with his business partner, Adam Goldenberg, he has been a part of several highly successful and innovative ventures. The two were some of the first to see the potential in e-commerce for apparel and accessories. As a co-CEO of both JustFab and Fabletics, Don Ressler is a huge presence in the e-commerce category.
JustFab is a highly successful venture. Named as one of Forbes Magazine’s unicorn companies, JustFab has over 35 million subscribers around the world. With a focus on women’s goods when it started, the company has expanded to serve men, as well. And this level of expansion is not unusual for a company Don Ressler and Goldenberg are involved in.
Ressler and Goldenberg’s most famous venture may be their time at Intermix Media. The parent company of the one-time dominant social network MySpace, the company was sold to News Corp. for over $600 million. Ressler has also had a hand in the founding of Brand Ideas, Alena Media, and other companies. He started the skincare brand Hydroderm. Over the duration of his career, Don Ressler has consistently broken new ground and driven sales.
Ressler’s experience as an entrepreneur has resulted in over $1 billion in sales over the course of his career. His is a truly unique success story. Whether it’s traditional media, social media, health and beauty, or apparel, no category intimidates him. He finds a knowledgeable partner, learns, and succeeds. This ability to see opportunity and seize it serves his business ventures well.
ble to create a highly successful corporation in JustFab. Ressler and Goldberg saw the opportunity for e-sales of apparel and accessories early. While many businesspeople were still shaking their heads and insisting consumers would want to try goods on in the store, Ressler and Goldenberg have helped revolutionize commerce ats shoppers continue to move away from brick and mortar stores, it seems more growth for JustFab and Fabletics is inevitable. With Don Ressler continuing to mint unicorn after unicorn, the future of business looks bright. It willProgramming GTL clocks at prisons to add time

ABREEZA AYALA MALL DAVAO
Abreeza Mall is a large shopping mall coat Mindanao Island. It opened on May 12, 2011. It is owned by Accendo Commercial Cand Anflocor.
The term "Abreeza" was derived from the Italian word “abbraccio” which means "to embrace", or “breeze”in English, and is used to symbolize the Mall's breezy, spacious and relaxed environment, while respecting the natural topography of the land by designing open air garden landscapes that retains the “greening” of the environment. Even the basement parking is sunken with natural paving that allows water to seep back into the ground during rainy season.

The 3-storey Abreeza Mall lies on a 4-hectare space of the 10-hectare commercial complex. Also in the same complex stands a 4-storey Robinson's Mall.

When travelling particularly for quite a while, the internet may be a great strategy to stay in contact with house. Now all this is possible through tablet pc or a great telephone than hauling a large notebook around along with you, that makes it much more practical.
However there are problems for travellers, which you frequently find when you first attempt and link back to your own web site you normally use at home. For me it occurred first with the media web site called Hulu when I was spending several months. Regrettably I found I was not unable to use Hulu.
Just a little research revealed this was a tremendous predicament that affected numerous individuals all around the globe. Slowly the net blocked to others and will be broken up into little parts reachable. Even international sites like Netflix offer whole distinct catalogs dependent on your position (the US one is the best!).
Here is the internet though and clearly, there are lots of methods of preventing these limitations.
Most of the complimentary ones, as usual, contain filling your computer or apparatus and viruses yet there are some affordable valid approaches additionally.
The most strong contain using a proxy or VPN (Virtual Private Network) server to conceal your actual location.
For some websites, either of those tactics will function but some like Hulu will detect and block a proxy server. A correctly configured VPN server based in america will operate which have the web site. The VPN should be fast, particularly is you’re seeking to stream video and of course should be based in the united states in the function you need US based websites. A quick web search will find you some satisfactory services, most of the ones which can be popular are around the identical cost and offer access to lots of different states within the subscription. That’s useful if you need to have a look at other websites in various countries like the BBC or perhaps some Canadian TV stations.

A good read for any 9-12 year old who likes reading fantasy books. Would fit nicely into a school library and could even be bought as a class reader.
A refreshing return to traditional story-telling, that is a story with a beginning, middle and end plus a strong sweep of action. My only gripe is the cover, the figure is great but why the plain background?!
The character of Echo McCool reminds me very much of the Princess Merida character in the Disney Pixar film BRAVE. Both are feisty and strong and red-haired and grew up in a British folklore world. Echo McCool was first published in January 2011 but Pixar must've been working on Princess Merida for a long time so I'm not sure which came first - but both are totally awesome!

The comparison with in situ Argo profiles and GRACE-based ocean mass has proven to be useful to detect global and regional drift in sea level estimates from satellite altimeters. It is also routinely used to assess the impact of new altimeter standards in sea level products and detect anomalies at interannual time scales. So far, the classical approach is to estimate the steric sea level from a combination of GRACE and satellite altimetry observations and validate it against Argo observations. Historically, GRACE and satellite altimetry data are combined in a reference frame centered on the center of figure of the Earth (CF) for this purpose. This approach is sensitive to the uncertainty in the ge


Plans for 60 flats in the middle of Brentwood risks having a "catastrophic impact on the viability and long-term future" of an adjacent pub - the country's leading brewer has argued. The plans to knock down William Hunter House 10, 12 and 20 on Western Road and replace it with a three to five storey apartment block was passed last night by Brentwood Borough Council's planning committee.
But Greene King - the country's leading pub retailer and brewer - which owns The Swan public house close to the development say the development poses a risk to its viability - there are several bedrooms and living rooms on each floor of the development that will be located close to pub garden and car park area where up to 100 customers could congregate until 1am at weekends.
Greene King argues that even with noise mitigation measures being planned Brentwood's environmental health department will receive "constant and persistent complaints" about noise and disturbance from the pub and in particular due to customers in the beer garden, bins being emptied and early morning servicing and deliveries.
A statement read out on behalf of Greene King at the planning committee on March 15: “Based on Greene King's extensive experience in situations like this if planning permission is granted with this scheme it is likely to have a  of the pub which will come at risk of failure in the future.
“Common sense says that locating residential properties including bedrooms with opening windows and doors and balconies directly adjacent to and on the property of a well-used pub beer garden car park and customer service access routes is likely to result in major problems for all concerns. In this case the premises and outdoor areas have a license and can be used until midnight on any day of the week.
“Based on experience in numerous other sites our clients know that once the properties are occupied both the pub Greene King head offwill receive constant and persistent complaintscustomers.
It added: “Put very simply the scheme is not appropriate and the residential property is far too close to the pub and in particular its beer garden and servicing area.
"We thus urge members to refuse planning permission for this scheme and required to be redesigned with residential properties positioned significantly further from the boundary of the pub beer garden and car park.
"If approved constant complaints about noise and disturbance in the pub will result in the council's environmental health officers coming under pressure to curtail the The Swans premises license.
David Carter, environmental health officer acknowledged the department will have to investigate any complaints. He said “There's nothing that we can do to stop them complaining about if they wish to do so whether they've got a valid complaint in terms of the noise levels um we would have to still investigate."
However, chairman of the planning committee Councillor Thomas Bridge said conditions had to be put in place to give protection to the pub.
He said: "I'd also just like it to be made absolutely clear to the purchasers of any of these properties they are moving next door to a pub and those of us who serve in the licensing condition on the committee are in houses have been built since the pub has been built.
