One of the most popular summer treats everybody enjoys eating is blueberries. It's a sweet and succulent fruit which contains a lot of nutrients. It's usually eaten freshly picked but most people also enjoy incorporating it into various dishes. Anthocyanin is a type of flavonoid which can be found in this fruit. It is what causes blueberries, raspberries and cranberries to appear purple with some blue hues. Not only does anthocyanin make these fruits look pretty, it's also the main source of its amazing health benefits.
An increased consumption of fruits which come from plants have been long been popular for their healing properties. They effectively decrease the risk of diabetes, heart disease and obesity. It's also known to promote a healthy complexion and helps to increase energy levels. Let's discuss some of the most popular Health Benefits of Blueberries.
Blueberries contain calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, manganese and Vitamin K. The combination of these ingredients improves bone structure and increases its strength. In order to maintain the elasticity of joints and bones, our body needs zinc and iron. People who don't have the right amount of Vitamin K in their system are more prone to having bone fractures. Those who incorporate it in their daily food intake have improved calcium absorption and reduced calcium loss.
In order for people to maintain low blood pressure, it's important to maintain a low sodium diet. The best thing about blueberries is that they don't contain any sodium at all. On the other hand, it contains magnesium, potassium, and calcium which are all effective in lowering blood pressure.
High Fiber Content
People who suffer from diabetes will benefit from blueberries' natural nutrients. Those who have type 1 diabetes are required to consume high fiber diets to lower their blood glucose level. Those who have type 2 diabetes need an increased intake of high fiber foods to improve their blood sugar, insulin levels and lipids. By taking one cup of blueberries, a person can already get as much as 3.6 grams of fiber.
According to the Dietary Guidelines of Americans, the recommended daily fiber intake for women is 21-25 grams while men need 30-38 grams per day. One of the most amazing qualities of this nutritious fruit is preventing heart disease. It improves the heart's overall functions because it contains Vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and Vitamin B6. Blueberries are also cholesterol free.
Fiber ensures that the blood's total amount of cholesterol is lowered down to prevent heart disease. Folate and Vitamin B6 work together to prevent homocysteine from building up. This is because excessive amounts of this compound damages blood vessels.
Heart Health
The Harvard School of Public Health conducted a recent study regarding heart attacks. The study revealed that regular consumption of anthocyanins effectively reduces the risk of heart problems by approximately 32% in both young and middle aged women. According to nutrition professor Aedin Cassidy PhD, those women who had at least 3 servings of strawberries or blueberries are the least prone to develop heart disease.
Cancer Prevention
Cancer is one of the world's leading diseases which happens to thousands of people all over the world. Researchers are constantly finding the best cure by formulating advancements in medicine. What most people don't know is that blueberries have natural properties which are effective in fighting cancer. It helps protect cells in the body since it has Vitamins A and C as well as various phytonutrients.
By working together, these ingredients helps prevent or ward off cancer. It can also decrease inflammation and inhibit tumor growth. Because blueberries contain folate, it prevents the formation of cancer cells which usually comes from mutations in the DNA. Folate plays a very important role in the synthesis and repair of DNA.
Brain Health
Blueberries also reduces the risk of cognitive damage in the body. It helps improve motor coordination and short term memory loss. Another factor worth noting is that a daily intake of this fruit reduces the risk of Parkinson's disease which is a neurodegenerative disorder. It occurs when cells located in parts of the brain die.
Healthy Digestion
Another amazing benefit of blueberries is promoting healthy digestion. The fruit has very high fiber content which helps maintain a healthy digestive tract. Dietary fiber is popularly known for being an essential factor to have successful weight loss results. It works as a bulking agent in the digestive system. Food which contains high fiber has been proven to reduce appetite and increase satiety. This means that you will feel fuller for a longer period of time. As a result, blueberries helps lower down your overall calorie intake which makes you healthier.
Blueberry Juice
Blueberries make a great addition to your juicing recipes as well and you can still take advantage of the benefits of blueberry juice even without the fiber content. Their slightly sweet and tart taste can give a boost to other bland ingredients. Juicing is also an easy an convenient way to get more of this power packed fruit into your daily diet.

Numerous students, alumni, faculty, and staff came out to celebrate and display their Pioneer Pride during Alfred State College's 2018 Homecoming and Family Weekend.
On Friday, Pioneers and their families enjoyed fun events at the annual spirit rally and bonfire and the first friendly competitions of the Pioneer Challenge, such as the Not-So-Naked-Half-Mile and tug-of-war, while listening to live music by the Alfred State Rock Band and eating a number of goodies.
Saturday's festivities included faculty/staff and Greek chili competitions, a car show, corn hole and pie eating competition, and the eighth annual Carly's Club Race for a Cure 5K, which preceded the big football game between Alfred State and the Maritime Privateers.
Also prior to kickoff of the football game, the name of the college's new ox mascot was announced: Big Blue. The name was decided upon by those who voted in an online poll. Capping off the events on Saturday was magician Daniel Martin, whose award-winning magic captivated and entertained the audience.
Colleen Argentieri, director of Alumni Relations and co-chair of the Homecoming and Family Weekend Committee, said, "We loved the student engagement with the Pioneer Challenge, and despite the intermittent rain early Saturday, attendance for Homecoming was wonderful. Also, the basket raffle was terrific, we had a great crowd during the football game, and we were very fortunate to have Lucky Number – led by Automotive Trades Associate Professor John Garippa – playing at the tent party. Overall, it was a great weekend, and I am proud to be a part of such a hardworking and fun committee."
Fellow committee co-chair Mallory Morehouse, associate director of Orientation and Family Programs, said, "We were so happy to see students participating in the first annual Pioneer Challenge, and hope this will become a long-standing tradition here at Alfred State. We were also thrilled to see more students bring their families up to enjoy the spirit rally and bonfire on Friday night. Alfred's Got Talent was once again very successful and well attended by students and families alike. We had so many great students helping us this year and I have to give a shout out to Kaieel Ward, who is interning with the Recreation Office and did the majority of execution with the Pioneer Challenge. Another great year!"

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly series hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming book releases we can't wait to get our hands on.
For this week's Waiting on Wednesday pick, we're heading back into the world of comic books with the upcoming Tales from the Darkside mini-series from horror author Joe Hill.
Hill will once again be teaming up with his Locke & Key partner Gabriel Rodriguez for the four issue anthology horror series, a re-imagining of the '80s television show.
Fun fact: the comics are actually based on the scripts Hill wrote for the planned Tales from the Darkside reboot that never came to fruition after the CW passed on the pilot.
IDW will publish the first issue of Tales from the Darkside in June!
Joe Hill's nerve-shredding re-imagining of Tales from the Darkside never made it to your TV set…but the dead are restless and refuse to stay buried! This summer, IDW releases DARKSIDE, a four-issue comic-book adaptation of the episodes written by Hill and illustrated here by Locke & Key co-creator Gabriel Rodriguez! Three stories of the macabre and malevolent! One coulda-been, shoulda-been TV epic on paper with pictures that don't move! Step out of the warm, sunlit world you think of as reality and get ready to take a chilling walk… on the DARKSIDE.

The project started several years ago when the Scouting Association indicated their intention to sell the Mareretu site of the Patumahoe Scouting and Girl Guide Hall.
The hall was a gift to the Scouting & Girl Guide associations from the local community in the 1980's. Unfortunately after several years, the attendance of parents and families at both these groups did not warrant continuing a Patumahoe troop. The hall lay empty for many years, until Patumahoe School made use of it – as a new entrants class, and a storage area.
For the Scouting and Guiding Associations this building was no longer required, and many of the other landholdings had already been divested. Several years ago they notified the council and the community of their intention to sell the site. The project to relocate the scout hall so that the building and it's community connection remained began at that point.
The Patumahoe Village Community Trust found itself in regeneration, and skills that had proven valuable to the community in the past – proved their worth once again.
After negotiations were completed between the Scouting and Guiding Associations and council resources were obtained, Kay Carter was instrumental in obtaining funding from the Lotteries Board, Lions Foundation & Charitable Trusts Foundation for $30,000 to pay for the initial shift and relocation costs of the building to it's new site.
Built in 1907 from locally sourced kauri, the church originally stood between Mauku and Patumahoe before being shifted to Mareretu Avenue in 1958. The Scouting and Guiding Association used it from 1982-2002.
Below is an appeal from the Trust – please read and contribute to this wonderful project.
The letter can be printed below and distributed.
Community Appeal June 2012
You will now be aware that the Historic Presbyterian Church has been resited on Council land, is now preserved as an Auckland Heritage Building and under the stewardship of the Patumahoe Community Support Charitable Trust. After refurbishment it is intended for community use; clubs, celebrations, history open days etc. To clarify, the school intends to keep using it, but not exclusively and not full time.The cost of $30,000 to date has been enabled with funding from Lotteries Board, Lion Foundation, and The Trusts Charitable Foundation at no cost to the local community
In order to bring it up to tidy condition and council requirements, the following is necessary: Fire safety, redesigned toilet area with wheelchair access and ramp, exterior painting, kitchen freshen, some exterior weatherboards, heating, and general facelift.Therefore we are making a one-off local appeal before looking to a further funding round

Sale on Designer Fitted Womens Chef Coats
The Road to the perfect Chef Coat
The road to the perfect Chef Coat.
Born and raised in southern California. Orange County / Los Angeles based Fashion Designer Sandra Harvey has always had a love, respect,and deep appreciation of chefs, fine restaurants, and quirky little bistros. Sandra grew up around restauranteurs playing in kitchens, and learning to cook from her Mother. Sandra will tell you many of her favorite conversations and memories have been over meals with friends, family, and clients. Sandra's sister made a career as a chef in La Jolla California where her restaurant still operates today.
Sandra is a well traveled and educated women with over 20 years of design experience. She is best know for her amazing detail, her sexy yet non revealing way she cuts, and her magical ability to craft and weave some of the finest suits and separates Women's fashion has ever seen. She does not design exclusively for women, yet that is the area she puts most of her focus.
In the 90's Sandra was featured on MTV's house of style hosted by Cindy Crawford , and she has been Designing for and dressing some of the worlds notable musicians since the 90's. Always sweet, approachable, and genuine. Sandra is a fierce humanitarian, an eternal optimist, and the most real, unchanged, dedicated, and driven person I have ever had the chance to know.
Sandra Harvey 1990's Commercial
In 2005 Sandra took a break from designing and removed herself from the Los Angeles scene when her husband and also the father of her 2 young boys was killed when hit by a drunk driver. Sandra had always been a dedicated, loving, and great mother. With the loss of her husband she needed to switch focus and put 100 percent of herself into helping her children through this difficult time , and create a fun world for them to grow up in.
One afternoon the words of her late husband came to her, as clear as if he was standing next to her. The feeling of warm hand on her shoulder and the words "Take my boys to my home" filled the room, echoed in her ears, and stuck in her mind for days.
As a little girl Sandra's father used to take her to Arkansas every summer. He would tell her about the south, about ghosts and banshees, and swamps. He would show her how to catch fireflys and appreciate nature and the unique peace and magic that is found in the more quite and still parts of the world. Sandra has always been connected to the South in one way or another. Her late husband and his entire family were originally from North Carolina.
Despite what people were telling her during this dark time in her life, leaving everything and starting over in North Carolina just made sense to her. She knew this was where she needed to raise her children, and she felt guided to North Carolina from her husbands words that she heard from beyond the grave. She just somehow knew deep down that this was a place where they could all heal. Leaving her entire life , her friends, her family, her business, and her beautiful Laguna Beach home. Sandra packed up her 2 boys, their cat, and a few of her most precious things and move to the small mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina. Now this was way before Asheville was a destination, and before it was known for its fine dining and foodie culture.
The Culinary Girl Short Film 2014 Asheville NC
Sandra and her boys spent their first few years in Asheville just trying to adjust to having lost her Husband and the boys father. They would spend summers on the river, take trips out to Charleston and Savannah to visit the ocean. She also got a family dog, and built a very wonderful organic garden for all of them to work in. It was during this time is when Sandra started becoming interested in the Culinary world.
Soon the town of Asheville started to grow and quality restaurants sprung up all over downtown, there were new 4 and 5 star chefs moving in every month. Sandra soon made friends with many of these chefs and restaurant owners. Still not ready to go back to designing, Sandra became fascinated with the passion, and dedication and the almost militant type discipline she witnessed from many of chefs and restaurant owners. Sandra wanted to understand this first hand. So… She enrolled in the Culinary Program at AB – Tech. Studying both Culinary, and Baking Science at the same time. Sandra quickly became immersed in the Culinary world.
Some of Sandra's Clients.
Over the 2 years of her formal education, Sandra has worked over 1500 hours volunteering in various restaurants, performing demos, doing food prep and service for many different events. Some of which include: the Seasonal School of Culinary Arts, the Asheville Wine and Food Festival, Star Chefs new york , the IACP, and countless other events. She never backed away from the hard work, the cleaning, or any of the more difficult duties of a culinary student. All while being a very active and fun Mother to her boys that were quickly turning into young men.
Spending day after day in school Sandra would hear the girls talk about how their uniforms were stiff and unflattering, and the men would often mention how hot and uncomfortable they would get in their uniforms. Sandra spent two years in those uniforms herself so she knew first hand. For Sandra her biggest issue was with the baggy sleeves that don't stay rolled up, and the stiff non flexible materials.
These were clearly uniforms, these were not made by a designer or a person who had done a hard days work in a professional kitchen. They were not made with any real understanding of what the title chef means to those who work so hard to earn it, or to those who spend hours laboring in the kitchen as cooks. As Sandra would go to school and work in the kitchen and stage in various restaurants the design started to appear in her minds eye. The real challenge was to make something highly functional, yet fashionable, and at the same time pay tribute and respect to the men and women who spend their lives working in kitchen. To give them a coat they could not only work in, but show pride in. It would be another 2 years of diligence, dedication, and overcoming many set backs to finally see her dream realized.
In school, Sandra earned the respect and admiration of her instructors, her fellow students, and many of the countries top chefs. She was featured in the AB Tech course catalog as an Entrepreneur of the Culinary Industry. Her coats appeared on Good Morning America, and were featured by Martha Stewart Made in America. She has had numerous publications, articles, and radio spots all singing her praises. But Sandra measures her success by what her clients say. Sandra still takes the time to personally write and call each of her clients. She has built her company on hard work and there was never a doubt that her product would be American Made. Even when keeping her product made in America caused her numerous set backs in production, she never wavered and even helped bring sewing jobs to North Carolina by doing so. She personally oversees and runs her company with old fashioned American values where customer service and her strong connection to her customers is the most important thing to her. She currently has a client list of executive chefs, cooks, bakers, caterers, and other culinary professionals from every continent, and she keeps in contact with all of them personally.

Dash Cam Speeding and Camera Fines July 23, 2016 – Posted in: Dashcam Articles
With the ever increasing amount of fixed speed/red light cameras and not to mention the mobile speed cameras, chances are you may find yourself receiving one of these letters in the mailbox. An open letter of from Roads and Maritime Services informing you of the driving offence/s that had been committed with consequent loss of demerit point/s and monetary fine. This is of course, may happen if you are frequently driving on the roads (just like we all do) and for a number of reasons for example unintentionally forgetting about the school holidays had just finished, or driving through the red light camera due to harsh sun glare exposure. Whatever the reason, it is a good idea to be reminded such enforcements are in place when approaching any fixed or mobile stationary cameras and to especially avoid the costly penalties.
With the introduction of new modern dash cams such as the Navig8r Pro X Crash Cam which has been specifically engineered for Australian roadways, you can now avoid the loss of demerit points and avoid paying fines by simply being reminded when approaching a set of controlled traffic lights fixed with speed and red light cameras. In addition, we may forget when school zones are enforced or due to a lengthly christmas summer school holiday breaks. Add in the sneaky mobile speed camera vehicles in the mix, all these heighten the risk of you being caught out.
Here is a demonstration video of the Navig8r Pro X Dashcam in action, and as you can see the camera sends smart notifications informing you of entering school zones, speed cameras and the relevant legal speed limit for the road.

Rachel "Silly Gilly" Gillis and her friends are twenty-something transplants who moved to Denver in pursuit of mountain views, sun-drenched skies and a lively singles' scene. They found all three, and now have an affectionate nickname for their new home: Menver.
Soon after she moved to West Washington Park, Gillis described her neighborhood bar, the Candle Light Tavern, "a.k.a the man-delight," on her myspace page. "The ratio is absurd," she wrote. "Oh. Wait. That's all of Denver. MENVER. If you are a guy I feel bad, just don't leave."
A night out with Rachel and her friends at Govnr's Park offers a fast look at life in Menver. As soon as Silly Gilly and her roommate, Annie, walk in, they spot two former suitors. Annie wasn't that into her old beau, who broke up with her via a text message: "Let's just be friends." Rachel's erstwhile love connection asked for another girl's number right in front of her. Within minutes, another guy walks in who won't stop calling Rachel even though she's already let him down. But these women don't mind sifting through the masses. There's just something about a long-haired, unshaven "Colorado mountain man" they can't resist. And besides, in Menver, there are always more men.
Dozens of myspace profiles and blogs -- written by grateful women and frustrated men alike -- will attest to that.
But after GQ dropped a reference to "Menver" last month, Off Limits finally decided to investigate whether the numbers actually support the nickname. And judging from U.S. Census projections for 2006, they don't. This year, in the 20-to-39-year-old age group, the ratio is 53 percent male, 47 percent female in Denver County. Throw in the other six counties in the metro area, and the sexes are even more equal: about 52 percent male, 48 percent female.
That's not a huge gender gap, but try telling bartenders around town that the Menver name doesn't hold up. "It can be a bit of a sausagefest," says Keli Hanley, a bartender at Govnr's Park. "If you're picking up guys, it's great." And it's not bad for the female-dominated staff, either.
At the Celtic Tavern and the Sports Column in LoDo, there are always more men than women. Ditto at the Atomic Cowboy on East Colfax, where a beautiful brunette bartender smiles when asked if she's ever heard the Menver nickname. "I think you'll find that all over," she says. "It seems like the population of Denver is more men."
Across the street at the Goosetown Tavern, a regular is sipping a pint and smoking a Camel as he laments the fact that there are so few women in the bar, when the male/female ratio is much more even next door at Mezcal. "I keep saying I'm going to go over there because it's where all the women are," he says, "but they treat me so much better here."
Hey, bucko, are you a man or a mouse?
Keeping Menver on its toes: Last week, someone with a very long arm (or a really big ladder) vandalized one of the giant aliens -- a sculpture officially known as "Dancers," by Jonathan Borofsky -- cavorting outside the Denver Performing Arts Complex. While art aficionados and pranksters alike have long fantasized about dolling up those public-art duds -- with a couple of very big pairs of shoes during the NBA All-Stars game, for example -- the piece's location beside busy Speer Boulevard has discouraged more ambitious makeovers.
But then, it didn't take much artistry to smack a smear of red-brown paint in the crotch of one of the dancers, as an unknown vandal did last week. Still, thanks to the rain, the icky splotch remained for several days.
"It's happened in the past," Rudi Cerri of the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs said of taggers who've made their mark on "Dancers." "We have a big, five-gallon can of white paint and have been really, really good about covering it. But this time it's taking us a little longer because it's wet out there. We're hoping to get it done first thing Monday."

And they did. The city worked even faster to tidy up a far more popular public artwork, "I See What You Mean," Lawrence Argent's big blue bear outside of the Colorado Convention Center, which also got hit by a splat of paint last week.
And someone pulled a sneak attack on Sears -- and some 11 million people -- right before the Cherry Creek Sneak on Sunday, April 20, ensuring that anyone who passed along First Avenue saw a giant, scrawled "Illegal Mexicans Go Home" on a store window. Despite complaints from racers and shoppers alike, the graffiti wasn't removed until the next day.
Scene and herd: In its May issue, Men's Journal lists the five "Adventure Capitals" around the world -- and in this country, only San Francisco makes the cut. Among that city's adventurous attributes? Being the home of the mountain bike. But that will come as news -- unpleasant news -- to Crested Butte, the Colorado town that not only makes the same claim, but is home to the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame.
And speaking of fame: Paul Rodriguez made the scene at the Paladium last Saturday night, after the Latin Kings of Comedy show. No joke.

Asylum Overview
|"To compel a homosexual person to pretend that his sexuality does not exist or suppress the behaviour by which to manifest itself is to deny his fundamental right to be who he is."

What is a 'refugee' ? What is 'asylum' ?
If you are in the UK and fear returning to your home country because of persecution which you would face there, you may qualify as a 'refugee'. If you are granted refugee status in the UK, you will be granted permission to remain in the UK for five years. If you still need the UK's protection after five years, you will then be granted permanent stay in the UK.
In order to qualify as a refugee, you would need to convince the authorities that you meet the definition of 'refugee' set out in the UN Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. Under that definition, you have to demonstrate that you are a person who has a "well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion" in your country of nationality or your former country of residence.
The protection given to a recognised refugee is called 'asylum'. Asylum means that the UK agrees not to send you back to a country where you face such persecution.
Is it possible to qualify as a refugee on the grounds of persecution I will face because of my sexual or gender identity?
If you are afraid that if you return to your home country you are at risk from serious harm because you are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex (LGBTI), then you may qualify for asylum.
This will depend on whether you can show that the conditions in your country of origin are such that in law they amount to persecution of those who are open about their sexual or gender identity.
It is important to remember that previous uk court decisions have established that nobody can expect you to go back to your country of nationality and hide your sexual or gender identity to avoid persecution. This applies both to people who may have been open and also to those who have hidden their sexual or gender identity in the past.
Hiding your sexual or gender identity because you have a well founded fear of persecution and want to avoid serious harm, qualifies you as a refugee. See further HJ (Iran) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2010] UKSC 31 (07 July 2010).
What evidence do I need to show to qualify as a refugee on the grounds of my sexual or gender identity?
You need to show that there is a reasonable degree of likelihood that if you were returned to your home country you would face serious harm because you are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex. Serious harm must come from either the government authorities or other sections of the population from which the government is either unable or unwilling to protect you.
Serious harm would include the possibility of extra-judicial execution, physical violence, torture and imprisonment. It may also include very serious discrimination. Prosecution for consensual same sex acts may amount to persecution depending on the country conditions.
This means that you need to demonstrate by evidence of what is happening in your home country that serious harm comes to people in your situation.
You will need to make clear what is the harm that you fear and you will need to show that your fear has objective basis and is justified. This means proving your case as best as possible with evidence. The immigration courts have given guidance in certain cases as to whether lesbians or gay men (or those who are bisexual, transgender, or intersex) are at risk of persecution in particular countries. Whether you are at risk will change as circumstances change in your home country.
In deciding whether or not to apply for asylum, you should take into account the fact that the vast majority of applications for asylum are refused. Cases are commonly refused either because the applicant is not believed or because the Home Office thinks the fear is not well founded (or what is feared is not serious enough to amount to persecution). This is not an easy route to remain in the UK and an application for asylum should not be made unless you have a genuine fear of persecution.
How do I make an application for asylum?
See also Asylum Procedure
If you are already in the UK, you can make the application to the Home Office by attending an Asylum Screening Unit in Croydon, at Lunar House, 40 Wellesley Road, Croydon CR9 2BY. If you arrive without an appointment you may be asked to return on another day. You can make an appointment by telephone.
You will first go through a screening process to establish who you are, how you arrived in the UK and basic information about your claim will be taken. You can expect to be there several hours and the Home Office will then decide whether to detain you or release you while processing your claim. The detained fast track scheme has been suspended. It is therefore now far less likely that you will be detained at the screening unit. .At a later date you will be interviewed in depth about your asylum claim.
It is very important to have a lawyer specialising in asylum law to assist you with your claim. Prior preparation of the claim and availability of a lawyer to help from the beginning can make a difference to your claim.
If you are outside the UK, you can apply for asylum on arrival at any port.
What information do I need to produce to apply successfully for asylum?
You will be required to explain in detail why you fear being persecuted. This must involve a detailed description of your experiences and you should be prepared to talk in depth about your identity as a LGBTI individual, and how the environment in your country of origin affects the free expression of that identity.
In recent years many of the Home Office refusals of LGBTI asylum claims are based on them not believing that the applicants are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or even intersex. It is therefore important to be prepared to talk about your experience of coming to terms with being different from your heterosexual family, and general environment. This does not mean talking about sex, but how you came to be who you are as a person.
You will need to give details about any persecution that you have suffered in the past. If you have not suffered persecution in the past, you must explain why you believe that you will be persecuted in the future.
You should be in a position to provide objective information from human rights organisations or the press or other sources showing that the kind of persecution you describe does in fact occur in your home country. If you have a solicitor, they can help you access this information.
The Home Office has access to information about what is happening in all countries of the world. They will form their own view as to whether your fear is well founded. It will, however, help your case if you can submit evidence to show that your fear of persecution is real and that other gay men and lesbians in your position have been persecuted.
Please note that information held by the home office is not always complete and you may find more information from different sources, such as at www.ecoi.net
Home Office country information and guidance – Guidance used by UK Visas and Immigration to make decisions in asylum and human rights applications.
Should I consult a lawyer if I am applying for asylum?
Yes, in order to ensure that your case is properly presented, it is essential to consult a lawyer who specialises in asylum law and who, preferably, has represented LGBTI asylum seekers before. If at all possible, you should consult the lawyer before applying for political asylum. Asylum law is a complex area of law and recent legislation means that advice right from the start of the process is essential.
What is my status in the United Kingdom while my application is pending?
An answer to this question will depend on your status at the time of applying and your lawyer will be in the best position to advise you. You will not be removed from the UK until your asylum application is decided, and if you appeal, until your appeal is determined and any right to further appeal has been exhausted.
Will I receive accommodation or financial support?
If they are destitute, applicants may be entitled to some assistance with respect to food and housing from the Asylum Support Team. Applicants are usually not entitled either to standard welfare benefits or to take employment, but they are entitled to healthcare.
What happens if my application is refused?
You have the right of appeal to the First-Tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) where your appeal will be decided by a judge operating independently of the Home Office. Many successful cases are resolved only at this point. There will normally be a hearing at which you would give evidence. If the First-Tier Tribunal dismisses your appeal you can apply to Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) for permission to appeal against the decision of the First Tier Tribunal. If permission is granted, then there will be a hearing in the Upper Tribunal to decide whether the first judge made an error of law. If there is an error of law by the First Tier Tribunal, the Upper Tribunal may order that your appeal be decided by a different judge either in the First Tier Tribunal or in the Upper Tribunal. There is a limited right of appeal to the Court of Appeal against a decision of the Upper Tribunal.
However, you may not get a right to appeal. There are now 'designated states' which are presumed safe by the Home Office and asylum applicants from those states may have their claim certified as 'clearly unfounded.' If a claim is certified in this manner, there is no right of appeal from within the United Kingdom against a refusal of asylum, but in that case there may be a special way of challenging such decisions by way of Judicial Review in very limited circumstances. This underlines the need for expert advice at an early stage.
Sometimes, even if the Home Office decides to refuse an application for refugee status, they may instead give them a shorter period of 'discretionary' leave to remain in the United Kingdom. This is rare but may be appropriate if you are in a relationship with a British Citizen (or potentially someone with another status in the UK) and there are exceptional circumstances why you could not go back to your own country to apply for an unmarried or proposed civil partner visa.
What happens if my application is successful?
You will be granted permission to stay for five years. You will be entitled to apply for a UN refugee travel document and you will also be entitled to work, study and claim benefits in the UK in the same way as a UK citizen. You will also be entitled to apply in due course for British nationality if you are granted permanent stay at the end of the five years. This will be granted only if you are still at risk of persecution.

LolaSep 29 & Oct 2, 2011 • Screening Room
After almost two years of effort, we finally got the OK to screen this staggering film by Filipino master Brillante Mendoza.

Both frail and poor, the grandmothers desperately need money — one for the victim's burial, the other for the suspect's bail. Lola tracks their brutal quest to find it. (2009, 100 min, 35mm)

Spring steel's capacity for withstanding impacts and irregular bending comes from the quantity of silicon with which it is alloyed. Silicon allows the metal to bend and stretch without becoming permanently deformed. Spring steel is a good raw material for manufacturers that need strong, heat and abrasion resistant metal.
Different spring steel varieties offer different qualities of flexibility and hardness. Cold rolled annealed spring steel, for example, is used to manufacture automobile parts, knives, small files, mechanical springs, clips, machine parts, gun parts, and anything requiring the properties of high carbon.
Blue tempered steel, on the other hand, is the more economical option and is often used to produce blades used in health care settings, flat springs, motor springs, steel tapes, valves and reeds. The molds for plastic injection molding are often made of spring steel. Spring steel can also be used to make certain kinds of music wire like piano and guitar strings.
Spring steel is formed at steel service centers. Steel service companies offer a wide range of services that can impart various qualities upon steel. The different spring steel varieties each require a certain kind of steel working process in order to take on the qualities that will make them usable. Tempered spring steel, for example, is heated in a way that increases hardness without sacrificing flexibility and impact resistance properties.
Annealed steel is heated until the steel becomes pliable, but the annealing temperature is always kept below the steel's recrystallization temperature. Spring steels that are subject to heat treatment processes may contain additives like cobalt and nickel in order to improve the metal's performance under high temperatures.
There are several other manufacturing processes spring steel may undergo to increase its properties, including quenching in oil or water; these take place after heat treatments in order to cool and harden the steel. Air hardening is another post-heat-treatment hardening method; it can be more economical than quenching methods and just as effective. The shape of spring steel can also be changed to fit specifications through slitting, edging, leveling and other physical shaping methods.

Note on the Tale of Attaf
Mr. Alexander J. Cotheal, of New York, a correspondent who already on sundry occasions has rendered me able aid and advice, was kind enough to send me his copy of the Tale of Attaf (the "C. MS." of the foregoing pages). It is a small 4to of pp. 334, size 5 3/4 by 8 inches, with many of the leaves injured and repaired; and written in a variety of handwritings, here a mere scribble, there regular and legible as printed Arabic. A fly-leaf inserted into the Arabic binding contains in cursive hand the title, "A Book embracing many Tales of the Tales of the Kings and named 'Stories from the Thousand Nights and a Night.'" And a note at the end supplies the date: "And the finish thereof was on Fifth Day (Thursday), 9th from the beginning of the auspicious month Rabí'a 2nd, in the year 1096 of the Hijrah of the Apostle, upon whom be the choicest of blessings and the fullest of greetings; and Allah prospereth what he pleaseth,[1] and praise be to God the One." Thus (A.H. 1096 = A.D. 1685) the volume is upwards of 200 years old. It was bought by Mr. Cotheal many years ago with other matters among the effects of a deceased American missionary who had brought it from Syria.
The "Tale of Attaf" occupies pp. 10-50, and the end is abrupt. The treatment of the "Novel" contrasts curiously with that of the Chavis MS. which forms my text, and whose directness and simplicity give it a European and even classical character. It is an excellent study of the liberties allowed to themselves by Eastern editors and scribes. In the Cotheal MS. the tone is distinctly literary, abounding in verse (sometimes repeated from other portions of The Nights), and in Saj'a or Cadence which the copyist sometimes denotes by marks in red ink. The wife of Attaf is a much sterner and more important personage than in my text: she throws water upon her admirer as he gazes upon her from the street, and when compelled to marry him by her father, she "gives him a bit of her mind" as forcibly and stingingly as if she were of "Anglo-Saxon" blood; e.g. "An thou have in thee aught of manliness and generosity thou wilt divorce me even as he did." Sundry episodes like that of the brutal Eunuch at Ja'afar's door, and the Vagabond in the Mosque, are also introduced; but upon this point I need say no more, as Mr. Cotheal shall now speak for himself.
- 1^ "Wa'lláhu 'l-Muwaffiku 'l-Mu'ín" = God prospereth and directeth, a formula often prefixed or suffixed to a book.

La Durantie wins world's best leisure development award
London (10th December 2013) – Environ Communities has received a 'World's Best' award from the International Property Awards for La Durantie; the new development of vernacular villas and apartments in the grounds of a historical belle époque style chateau in The Tarn. The International Property Awards is the world's largest property competition with 98 countries participating this year and sponsored by Virgin Atlantic and Yamaha.
Having already competed at country level and throughout the regional stages of the International Property Awards, the finest architects, developers, interior designers, and estate agents from across the globe gathered at the glamorous Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Friday 6th December to attend a glittering gala and to hear the long-anticipated results of the International Property Awards 'World's Best' crowning event.
On accepting the much coveted award Tony Dowse said: "It is an honour to be presented with the 'World's Best' award for La Durantie as we have had to fend-off some stiff competition along the way. We spotted a gap in the market for a leisure development with luxury homes that would appeal to a cultured community of active fifty-something's and created the chateau country club and high-tech spa at La Durantie. A lot of detail has gone into all aspects of the development to meet the requirements of our highly discerning buyers and it is rewarding to have this work recognised by the industry and to be announced as the leading leisure development."
Construction of Phase 1 consists of 57 vernacular designed single and two storey one to five bedroom detached homes together with two styles of apartments with either two or three bedrooms. All properties have lush landscaped rear gardens and most have a private pool. Renovation of the chateau is already underway and construction of the first homes on the estate is due to commence in the first quarter of 2014, with the delivery anticipated for the end of 2014. House prices in the leaseback scheme start from €313,560 (approx. £262,300) for a 1 bedroom house and range through to 5 bedrooms starting at €731,640 (approx. £612,000).*
The highest scoring entries for each category in Asia Pacific, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, UK and the Americas were automatically entered into the annual grand final. Judging is carried out through a meticulous process involving a panel of over 70 experts covering every aspect of the property business. The judges not only look for the most impressive projects, but also examine the sustainability and innovation of every property and development that comes under their scrutiny.
Stuart Shield, President of the International Property Awards said: "Our World's Best developers have represented their countries well and ought to be extremely proud. This award demonstrates their talent for producing work that has the potential to better the world. We welcome the 2013 winners in joining this exclusive international club of outstanding property professionals."

The semester is on to a great start! The brand new course in social media analytics is being well received by students in the Scripps College of Communication as it advances their social media skills to a new level. As part of the Social Media Certificate, the course is already proving to be a game changer. It not only builds upon the in-depth understanding of social media strategies but also trains students to gather, organize and analyze social media data to solve real-world problems.
Organizations and businesses are increasingly overwhelmed by a constant stream of data about users, their location, and their online participation on social media. The flood of data, often in unstructured forms, present a myriad of challenges that can be best understood and addressed by individuals who have a thorough understanding of social media analytics. However, such skills are in short supply. A study by McKinsey & Co. points to a shortage more than a million analytics professionals in the US by 2018.
Students in the course are working on impactful projects extracting real-world data from various platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Insights obtained from such data will help organizations make better decisions. The social media analytics course follows a rigorous regiment organized around case studies, analytics tutorials, assignments and projects that train students not only in the art of descriptive but also predictive analytics.
It is truly a delight to teach a smart group of students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Having taught globally, I can safely say that Ohio University students are second to none. I have witnessed their exceptional talent and enthusiasm and they will certainly prove to be future leaders in their respective fields.
This introductory analytics course teaches much needed industry-centric skills that are instrumental in enhancing engagement, defining and measuring metrics that matter, using data to optimize content, and creating effective reports for various stakeholders.
If this course sounds like something you'd be interested in taking, it will be available as online course in Summer 2016!
Dr. Khan is an Assistant Professor in the School of Media Arts and Studies where he teaches the Social Media Analytics course. He is also the director of the Social Media Analytics lab in the Scripps School of Communication. Follow him on Twitter at @drlaeeqkhan.

Cumbernauld will now join the list of towns in North Lanarkshire who have offered sanctuary to refugees fleeing the war zone in Syria.
A total of seven families who have been living in refugee camps in the Middle East will call Cumbernauld home as from tomorrow (Thursday).
Local volunteers plus staff from the UK Government and North Lanarkshire Council will be on hand to welcome them and take them to the housing that has been allocated for them in the town.
Preparations were being finalised for the arrival of the refugees – and the group CumbernauldKilsythCares (pictured) will be handing out welcome packs to the new arrivals.
The local effort has been praised by MP Stuart McDonald. He said: "It is absolutely fantastic that Cumbernauld is playing its part to support people who have been forced to flee their homes by the violence and horror of the war in Syria.
"Having donated generously to refugees located abroad, the people of Cumbernauld will now welcome vulnerable Syrian families – that is a wonderful humanitarian gesture.
"I know that meetings between local officials and local volunteers have been really positive and productive.
"Everyone who has worked so hard to make this happen deserves enormous credit.
"I know that Cumbernauld residents are ready to provide the new arrivals with a warm welcome and the support they need to help rebuild their lives."

text: Share: Comments Print March 25, 2013 at 10:22 AM 'Grace of Monaco' gets a date Posted by Moira Macdonald You can reserve a slot on next year's Oscar ballot in the Best Actress category, at least: The Weinstein Company has confirmed that they will be releasing "Grace of Monaco," starring Nicole Kidman as the former Grace Kelly, in limited release on December 27, in time for Academy Awards consideration. Kidman, a three-time nominee, won an Oscar in 2004 for "The Hours"; her director in "Grace of Monaco," Olivier Dahan, is best known for "La Vie en Rose" (which won a best actress Oscar for Marion Cotillard in 2008). Here, entirely sight unseen, is my insanely early prediction of the category in 2014. Expect this to change repeatedly as the year unfolds. Cate Blanchett, "The Monuments Men" (hmm, this might be a supporting role) Nicole Kidman, "Grace of Monaco" Carey Mulligan, "The Great Gatsby" Meryl Streep, "August: Osage County" Naomi Watts, "Diana" Comments

Mansfield University
Mansfield University | Grant Science Center
$9 Million
Completion Date
Gross Area
Grant Science Center was originally constructed in 1950, and received a major addition in 1970. Since then, no significant interior changes have been made. This project, which includes major interior renovations and two small additions, will address the need for life cycle improvements for this science facility which houses the University's Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Geology departments. The program includes improvements to general classrooms and laboratories, and expands the seating capacity and increases acoustical clarity in the existing lecture hall. Existing chemical storage rooms will be outfitted with high-density storage systems to increase their storage capabilities, while at the same time promoting safer storage of hazardous materials. The mechanical, plumbing and electrical infrastructure will also be improved throughout the building.
The additions to this project will add approximately 7,500 GSF to the facility. This new construction will provide a new ADA-compliant entrance to the facility, which will serve as a lounge /study area for students and faculty. This entrance is located immediately adjacent to the lecture hall, so that students waiting to enter the lecture hall can gather in a large, open area, instead of spilling into the common corridor outside of the classrooms. Below this new entrance, new dedicated vivarium and fishery facilities will be constructed, complete with separate animal holding and research areas, as well as living streams. The new construction program also includes new office and research labs for faculty, as well as ADA compliant restroom facilities.
