What if shopping is easy as walking into a store, grab what you want and then just go?
This is the Amazon's vision four years ago. Now it is a reality.
Amazon introduces, "Amazon Go" – an app that will revolutionalize shopping into shopping as convenient as going inside a store and leaving afterwards like getting food inside the refrigerator.
The key is using the most advanced AI technology – "Just Walk Out Technology"- the will record all the purchased item directly to the credit card or an monetary account.
Check out the commercial video:
Albeit its upcoming implementation in the US, allow me to evaluate some points based on my limited perspective.
First of all, lets talk about payments. I assume Amazon Go requires a credit card or a bank account in order for a customer to buy something. The same pros and cons of credit cards apply, although it is more convenient than a credit card because you just your phone app to enter.
As a perquisite too, the app requires a competitive smartphone to keep everything in check. Hopefully it does not require that much.
I also observe that "Amazon Go" somehow imitates "Pokemon GO" in terms of naming sense. Probably they need the word "Go" to attract public attention from the big Pokemon GO population.
I think this feature will be enjoyed only in the US for the time being since the regular Amazon is even that practiced in other countries especially in the Philippines. Amazon Go will be a luxurious far beyond our reach.
I have to give credit though. Amazon hits the technology spotlight these months with the introduction of the voice assistant "Alexa" and Amazon GO.

Marijuana raids define a 'danger zone' for dispensaries
Published 5:03 pm, Wednesday, November 16, 2011
Sweeping federal raids on 10 Puget Sound-area marijuana dispensaries targeted "pure criminal enterprises operating outside the law," U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan said Wednesday -- raids that can define a "danger zone" for Western Washington's commerce in cannabis.
"Obviously I can't say anything is legal, but there are rules of the road," Durkan said in an interview. "People who are truly sick and their medical caregivers, they're not going to be prosecuted. Pure commercial drug operations, using the guise of medical dispensaries, they should be worried."
Enforcing federal prohibitions on possessing pot has become a tricky test. Each federal prosecutor has wide discretion on how and where to apply limited resources. "There's always more crime than time," Durkan joked.
As U.S. attorney for Western Washington, Durkan is operating out of a city where voters have made marijuana enforcement the lowest local law enforcement priority. Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn is currently gracing the cover of "Dope" magazine.
One of Durkan's predecessors, John McKay, leads a state initiative drive to legalize marijuana -- a campaign that has drawn blue-chip legal sponsors as well as retired police and law enforcement officials.

The operations raided on Tuesday violated the rules of the road, said Durkan, and one offered sale of marijuana for the road.
"The four business enterprises targeted by our investigation are, by anybody's standards, pure criminal enterprises operating outside the law," said Durkan. She detailed four factors that led to targeting:
- The operator of the "Seattle Medicinal Clinic," one Thomas Allen Bolding, is currently serving a term of supervised release stemming from his conviction for conspiracy to distribute marijuana. An undercover agent was sent to Bolding's place of business.
- A second operation was selling marijuana by the pound "outside the door to someone in perfect health," said Durkan. The confidential informant spoke of marketing the marijuana in the Midwest. "The response was: 'Sell the weak stuff. They won't know the difference,'" Durkan said.
- Another operation was dealing in prescription drugs.
- And one "dispensary" had generated neighborhood complaints and, in Durkan's words, "was a source of other criminal conduct including a robbery and a shooting."
"We have a lot of recorded conversations," Durkan said.
The investigation of the Seattle Medicinal Clinic, located in a storefront on Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, involved a Drug Enforcement Administration "confidential source" who made several controlled buys of drugs, according to federal documents reviewed by seattlepi.com.
On one visit, an employee named Omar asked the confidential source if he had a medical marijuana card, according to the DEA. The source said he did not.
"According to the CS, Omar stated that he needed to contact his 'boss' prior to the CS making the purchase," DEA special agent Eric Wattree wrote in an affidavit.
"The CS stated that Omar then spoke with an unknown individual on the telephone who gave Omar authorization to sell the marijuana to the CS. Omar then sold the CS 37.5 gross grams of marijuana for $250 (state task force funds)."
On an Aug. 16 visit, the confidential source found Bolding at the front counter with Omar, the documents state. Bolding observed as Omar assisted the source during sale of marijuana.
"During the transaction, the CS asked about Percocet pills discussed during CS' telephone conversation with Omar on August 11, 2011. Omar states that he could get them if the CS wanted to buy Percocet pills. According to the CS, Omar stated that he could get the pills later that evening in Tacoma."
The Aug. 16 visit led to purchase of 69.4 gross grams of marijuana. The affidavit adds, "At no point in the visit to Seattle Medicinal Clinic was the CS ever asked for a medical marijuana card of government identification."
The confidential source was back on Aug. 17 and purchased 41.5 gross grams of marijuana from Omar, the documents state. Federal agents subsequently followed Bolding to a residence in Bellevue, which was also raided.
"We seized at least one luxury vehicle," Durkan said, indicating an apparent economic disparity at the household. "She's been collecting unemployment. He just bought a Mercedez Benz for cash."
Only one person -- Bolding -- was taken into custody in Tuesday's raids.
Could the operations raided Tuesday be part of larger criminal operations? "Our investigations are ongoing," Durkan said. "It is too early to tell what the interstate scope will be."
U.S. attorneys in Oregon and California have made tough public statements, warning that possession of marijuana is against federal law regardless of what initiatives states have passed. They've cautioned building-owners who rent to marijuana dispensaries of penalties and possible confiscation of property.
Durkan has not held forth, but set aside time Wednesday to explain the rationale for Tuesday's raids.
"I am not one for hollow sabre rattling, but speak best through enforcement," she said. "I don't pay too much attention to white noise. I try to look at threats in the community and address them. It's all illegal under federal law, but we are seeing more so-called dispensaries than 7-11s.
"We are going to choose our targets carefully."

Yesterday, the team at New Directions celebrated our 28th "birthday" of being in business. Long have I heard the stories of how my mother, Deb, started the business – out of her spare bedroom with a $500 loan from her mother, that from small beginnings emerged an international resource for human development. I usually think about this story once a day as the economy remains sluggish, the summer slowness creeps on and nothing seems to move before the end of the election season – the daily reminder that someone before me took an even greater leap of faith by starting a small business as a woman in the spare bedroom of her house with a $500 loan from her mother. What do I really have to complain about!
One only has to sit in a meeting or workshop with Deb to quickly realize that the mission and goal for her and New Directions has remained solid – a mission focused on the pursuit for organizational and employee excellence, a goal to provide people-centered solutions through training, development and organizational strategy.
This past year
This past year has been another year of growth and maturity for us. Some of you may have noticed that we enhanced our free offerings to our clients, customers, and well, even strangers visiting for the first time. These free offerings include tool kits, field guides, articles, compilations, samples and templates. With these free offerings we've tried to enhance our communication about them through social media, emails, workshop pre-reads, and the extended sections of our popular NDCBlogger email.
This year also saw another revision of the website (have you seen it yet?), continuing to build a website around the visitor by providing easy navigation to find all the resources we can physically get out to you in any given day. This includes blogs, tool kits, videos, podcasts, articles and workshops. It's still a work in progress, but that is the neat thing about working at New Directions – we are continually in our own pursuit of excellence, never feeling that we are completely done with any one component of ourselves or our business. We are committed to seeking out the best experience for our customers on a daily basis.
Another big focus this year has been to innovate at the verge by building partnerships and relationships with many different sectors of our global community. These partnerships include the Albany-Colonie Chamber of Commerce and working with their Entrepreneur Boot Camp program and the GenNEXT Young Professionals of Tech Valley initiative. The Saratoga Economic Development Corporation and Rensselaer Regional Chamber of Commerce continue to be new and emerging partnerships for us as well. As many of you know, this year we were honored by becoming an Influential Voice of Quality for the American Society for Quality (ASQ) and offered our readers a once-a-month blog in pursuit of quality excellence. We also continue to be active members in our local chapters for the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) by offering workshops, trainings and strategic direction.
Part of our growth has also been addressing emerging hot topics within business. These topics include the emergence of social media and learning within our organizations and how to strategically apply social tools for marketing and learning opportunities. Along with new social learning, generations in the workplace continues to be one of the most interesting fields of study as the new batch of workers, millennials, are changing the work paradigm (yet again).
What's next for New Directions
As the son of the founder, I think about these questions daily: How can we position ourselves for the work world of tomorrow? How do we stay relevant? How do we not become obsolete? How do we continue to have a culture of excellence when it comes to teaching, consulting, customer service and having fun while we do it? How in the world do I continue what Deb and her great teams throughout the years have been able to accomplish in almost 3 decades?
Defining what New Directions is and what it is not
I believe we have a staff with an amazing amount of knowledge, experience, and discipline that translates into a steady, methodical business strategy of survival. Our task will be to continue to grow that staff while sticking to our values and internal culture. This business has seen the recessions of the 80s and then in the 90s and then again in early 2000 and obviously now. I'm learning every day what to be concerned about, what not to be and how the business will unfold as it should. It's an interesting mix of what Jim Collins calls productive paranoia, empirical creativity and 28 years of fanatic business discipline.
I believe we offer a unique set of comprehensive, custom-built, high-end products and services for the employee and organizational development field. We are at a time in our business, what I call our Apple vs. Everyone Else opportunity. We have to decide if we are a meticulously-crafted, amazingly-reliable, superior service-oriented company like Apple? Or, are we just another commodity item for mass consumption, doing the minimum to get a paycheck, going below our standard to try and partner with every possible client? I'd like us to be the first – perhaps a little more expensive, a little higher-end, but customers are overjoyed with the results once purchased and continue to come back for the greater experience of working with us.
Why New Directions will continue to matter
We are very excited about the future of New Directions. What I have come to learn in the past 3 years of working side-by-side with my mother and our team, is that our business is somewhat special and unique. People will always be at the heart of any business; they will continue to be an organization's number one resource. Managers, supervisors and emerging leaders will continue to need skill development, high-level executives and senior leaders will continue to need an outside perspective on strategy from consultants (that cross-pollination of ideas that New Directions can provide), and customer service and product excellence will continue to drive every organization's economic engine. We're a company, I believe, that can come in and help many of these organizations out with our vast experience, quality of our work and fundamental core value to see our customers succeed for many years to come.
How about you?
Where would you like to see New Directions go? What new services are you interested in that we might be able to offer? What should we be preparing for in this new economy to better accommodate your needs? What great stories do you have of New Directions over the last 28 years?
On behalf of the NDC staff, thank you for your continued support, readership and friendship.
Matthew Harrington
Business Development Manager

Some gents do not really spend a lot of time setting up their dates with London escorts. I have to admit that I have heard gents complain that they have not always enjoyed such good dates with London escorts, but I think that it is mainly their own fault. They have seen a hot girl and just made a date with her from a photo on the website. I am not sure that works, and the way I do it is a little bit different.
I love dating London escorts but I never rush setting up a date. Sure I see a girl who looks really hot but I don't just go for it. In my opinion, it is much better to take your time and read about your girl. Some of the girls at London escorts are not into the same thing that you are into. If that is the case, I think it is important to move on and find a different girl. Sure, you may be taken by her looks, but there is a lot more to having adult fun than looks.
Personally, I like to read about the girls and make sure that she enjoys doing what I enjoy doing. There are a lot of hot girls at escorts in London so I know how easy it is to get turned on by looks only. It is not the way to do though and I make sure that I get a girl who looks nice and will please me in other ways at the same time. At the moment, I am into using one particular London escorts service. All of the girls have been great and I love the way they have looked after me.
But, that does not mean that I am always going to use that escorts service in London. Sometimes when you look for the companionship of London escorts, it could be a good thing to shop around and that is what I do. After having used the same London escorts for a couple of months, I often look around for another one with hot girls. That way, you always meet different girls. You may be one of those guys who like to date the same escort all of the time, but I am afraid that is not for me at all. I like to meet different girls.
Mind you, I would say that most escorts in London services are really good and I like to think that a lot of gents use their local escort services. Most parts of London are now covered by some kind of escort service, and I would not like to think that none of them would go out of business. London is a bit of a mecca for escorts, and I think that the hottest escorts in the world can be found in London. It is just a matter of finding an escort who suits your needs. At the end of the day, dating and meeting up with hot girls is a very personal service.…

The answer is A and G. Was it what you were expecting? I play this game in my parties, and it usually takes people a while to guess correctly!

The O'Neil Society was created in 1990 as a tribute to James and Orva O'Neil (her picture hangs in the front of the Chapel of Christ the King foyer). Mr. and Mrs. O'Neil were major benefactors to Mercyhurst during the Great Depression and were the first friends to provide planned gifts to the school.
Mr. O'Neil was the brother of Mother M. Xavier O'Neil and Sr. Regis O'Neil, beloved Sisters of Mercy. With the O'Neils' generous gift, the Chapel of Christ the King and its striking tower were completed in 1933. Their gifts also made possible the Queen's Chapel and the original Our Lady of Lourdes statue in the grotto.
Like the O'Neils, many generous alumni and friends of Mercyhurst University have named the school as a beneficiary in their will, an insurance policy, a retirement plan, or a life income plan. Mercyhurst honors those individuals by including them in the O'Neil Society. With such thoughtful planning, the legacy of the Sisters of Mercy will continue to benefit students for years to come.
Donors can designate their gifts to be used to establish a named endowed scholarship fund, toward an academic program of interest, for the general endowment or for the area of greatest need. Gifts can be used to buy needed equipment, books or materials. Funds for hands on, engaged learning opportunities as well as community service are also areas of potential support.
If you have made Mercyhurst part of your legacy, please let us know by completing the Estate Intention Form (PDF) so we can recognize you as a member of the O'Neil Society. If you would like more information on how you could make such a provision, Ryan J. Palm, associate vice president for advancement, is available to assist you and your advisors.

Unanswered: Email Attachments Through UNIX
I am using Pick Basic on a UniVerse database through UNIX. When I use the 'uuencode' command and send an attachment it will work as long as I am using Outlook to view it. It will recognize it as an attachment.
If I go through Yahoo or some sort of webmail application, it slaps it in the body of the email and it does not recognize it as an attachment. It is as if it does not know how to decode the attachment properly.
Has anyone ever run across this before?
I am using 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii' in the coding to tell it what type of attachment it is.
Any help would be appreciated,

For over 25 years, Schleswig-Holstein has been the centre of the international heavy metal scene each August. Every year, around 100,000 people make the pilgrimage to the small village of Wacken in order to experience the unique festival of the same name. Over three days, legendary music giants and newcomers meet their fan community. Numerous films and TV documentaries have already attempted to make the fascination of "Wacken" tangible. The photographer Jens Nolte has now provided a first photo book with a fine selection of unique snapshots and portraits of festival visitors. For four years, he recorded in photos not only the passion and the devotion to music, but also the final moment—the ravaged site after the festival.

To make sure that you create the right image of your company in the eyes of your customers, you need to create the right brand mark.
Below mentioned are a few tips to craft the images, fonts, colors and effects in your video game logo design:
• What images should you use?
The images that you select for your trademark should reflect the true essence of your game. For that, you can make a list of things that set you apart from the crowd. Is your game setting unique? Are the weapons that you have created distinct? Use that in your trademark image. You can also use images of fierce animals or mythical creature in your monogram to give it a touch of mystery and imagination. Use images that are relevant to the game. For example, if your game is set underwater, then you can use an image of a crocodile or snake. If the game is set in historic times, then you can use an image of a dragon.
• What fonts are appropriate?
The fonts that are most appropriate for these emblems are ones that are thick and straight. This type face gives an aura of proficiency and skill to the trademark. If you want to make your text more intimidating and computerized, then you can also craft the text to be sharp edged and crisp. You can also use scripted fonts for the text but they generally have the tendency to look informal and relaxed.
• Should you use effects?
Yes, you should use effects in the images and the text that you craft. You can use 3 dimensional effects objects or text to assure your customers that you are tech-savvy. The combination of florescent colors with 3 dimensional objects also looks very contemporary and sophisticated.
• What colors should be prominent?
You should use bright and intimidating colors for your video games logos. Some of such colors include black, red and silver. Silver color represents mystery and sophistication. It is a color that shows elegance and power. Black is the color for authority and power which makes it intimidating. Red color portrays energy, adrenaline, action and liveliness. Together these colors depict action and aggression with a touch of mystery. It is advised that you keep the background of the emblem in a single, solid color so that the focus can remain on the image in the trademark. Use of florescent colors is also fashionable these days as they represent technological advancement of the game and add a touch of creativity and innovation.
In a nutshell, you need to make sure that you use the right image, fonts, colors and effects for your trademark. Use images that reflect the true essence of your product and colors that are bright and lively. The fonts should be thick and straight with 3 dimensional effects.

I just upgraded from old reliable dsl to uverse and the speed is great. What is not great is trying to forward the ports on my 3801hgv in order for my torrent software to function properly. I have tried everything I know and searched the net to no avail. I can't seem to find a step by step guide for the 3801. I have tried going into the gateway via 192.168.1.254 then to setting then pinholes and then defined utorrent with ports 15233-15333 tcp then did the same udp enabled them both under my machines ip adress that I acquired by going to run>cmd>ipconfig and it tells me that it was successful but I have no ports open and my upload is creeping or non existent. I really use my ptp a lot and never had a problem with my dsl. This is a real deal killer for me. Anyone have a fix? I know I cant be the only one having this problem. Thanks for any help -Jason

I don't know. It could be a violation of TOS. Depends on what files you're sharing.
No it cant be a TOS thing as the tracker I use is very strick on the sharing of legal files only. Its for the sharing of live music by bands that allow open taping of there shows. I have been recording and sharing there since 97 and never had a problem. I have never had a problem with att bloacking and torrent sites I have ever used. It just seems like my ports do not forward in the router. Is there another gateway that I can get or should I just go back to my old dsl?
Its the ports.
log into your RG 192.168.1.254
Get the system PWD off the side of the RG
Go to Advanced and DMZ/Pinholes/Fowarding
If you want to create your own you can from here.
Connect Tech would be able to assist you if you're unable to perform this yourself.
AT&T Tier 1 Support Supervisor.
All opinions are of my own and not that of AT&T or its affiliates.
Chris thanks for the advice. I will pass on paying att more money to make my equipment work the way it should out of the box. I am of the opinion that since I have been a customer for 13 years there should be a small amount of loyalty built up. I had absolutely no problem forwarding the ports in my 2 wire DSL modem that I had previously before upgrading to uverse. It worked fine for 7 years. I switch to uverse and they install the 3801hgv and no matter what I do I can not get the ports to forward. Now let me state I do not have a advanced degree in computer science. I do however know my way around a router and have forwarded the ports on everything from an A link to a linksys with little or no problems. The problem here seems to be with the 3801. I have read several unresolved post pertaining to the same problem I am having. I am just hoping that I run across someone who has dealt with the same thing I am and has figured it out. To me it seems that my default gateway is not correct in the 3801. I have tired several times changing it. Nothing works. Really getting aggravated
dude it works fine. i use utorrent for legal purposes and forward 1 port over to your static ip of the box you have running utorrent. keep in mind the RG is weak. only handles total 8000 ports. might be better to dmzplus a real router (128meg of ram like wrt610n) and rock out that way.
but it works i guarantee you. set up a custom port to the static IP of the server and do it for both UDP and TCP (utorrent 3.0 use both) and it will work fine.
easey peasey if you play with the 192.168.1.254 page you will figure it out.
I still havent figured it out. I go 192.168.1.254 go into settings>firewall then apps pinholes and dmz then create a user defined application called utorrent and forward ports 15233 - 15333 tcp then save then do the same with utorrent1 and save udp and still nothing. I have tried changing from my pc to the actual ip address I get when I do ip config then save and then set utorrent in pinholes and still nothing. I dont know what else to try. If you have any ideas please let me know. I really need to get these ports open. Thanks-Jason
ok i just forwarded my ports for use with utorrent and it was successful so i am replying here to help you out.
1st log into router, 192.168.1.254
2nd go to dmz page select your ip and make your pinholes
3rd create user defined pinholes with the proper ports, and enter your "password" so it says its successful
4th under the list choose user defined and look thru the list till you find the one you created and highlite it
5th (very important step) click on ADD to add to your list of user defined pinhole.
6th click on save
that is the rough step by step of getting it done, if you need all the steps let me know and i will exegete all the steps involved in doing this
thanks, hope this helps you
OK guys I finally got it. I am not very bright (wont let me type I d io t), I may have forgotten to divulge that at the beginning. Turns out when I uninstalled utorrent in my frustration I did not remember to give it access in zone alarm. So I figured it out with your help. Thanks guys -Jason
Glad it's working for you now; and everyone needs a little help from others sometimes.
Well I'm glad that one person's issue was solved. However I still need help (thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out here).
I had DSL. Everything worked well. I was able to port forward on an old linksys router and the happy green light on my bit torrent application stayed on. I switched over to uverse and was required to switch modem/router in the process. I too have the 3801hgv and have issues now obtaining the green light on my bit torrent app. I am using the same computer as prior to my uverse switch. I have tried port forwarding and nothing seems to work. As a last attempt, I turned on the DMZ plus mode to my computer that is running btdownloadgui.exe (in other words, I turned off the fire wall on the router), saved the settings and confirmed it on the home page of the router config settings. I turned off my mcaffee security firewall. I also turned off my windows firewall as well. As a test, I wanted to see if I turned off all firewalls to my PC, if I could get the green light back and thus my ability to be connectable to others. It did not work. If I have no firewalls up and running, I should have expected connectability from others to my PC, but I did not get it. I have run out of ideas, but with this last test, I'm suspecting that it's not a port forwarding problem at all, but something else. Anyone out there have a clue? Thanks.
Ive done this and am stll having trouble.. not able to seed at all, even though it says my ports are forward. sorry to open a dead thread
bulldawg1020 > i will exegete all the steps > really? Really? My first intention was to be facetious, and Rube Goldberg in my reply by using great technical terms from MY field of expertise to relate a fundamental truth, then realized it simply wasn't worth the time. Layman terms my friend layman terms. If us noobs knew half of dmz's and proper ports and pinholes then we probably would not be seeking advise now would we?

Interfiling New Immigrant Petition into Pending I-485 Case
Interfiling – also referred to as "conversion" or "transfer" – is a process where a foreign national seeking to adjust status can change the underlying immigration petition (most often an I-140 employer sponsored petition or an I-130 family based petition) forming the original grounds for the I-485 adjustment of status application. Rephrased, interfiling permits the foreign national to substitute the first petition with another category of petition during the pendency of an I-485 application.
Some benefits of interfiling include avoidance of multiple filings and attendant fees should an applicant's circumstances change in a manner which would otherwise require additional applications. Interfiling also provides an alternative strategic means to reach permanent residency more quickly or more advantageously in certain situations.
One example where interfiling has historically proven advantageous occurs when a foreign national obtains an approved EB-3 labor certification and I-140 petition and correspondingly submits an I-485 application to adjust status to legal permanent resident based on a visa number current and available at the time of filing. However, due to retrogression, the I-485 application cannot be approved because the visa number is no longer available at the time of adjudication.
In the above scenario, the I-485 cannot be approved because, in order to adjust status to that of legal permanent resident, an EB-3 immigrant visa number must be current and available to the applicant both at the time of filing the I-485 application and at the time of adjudication. Sometimes, a visa number current and available at the time of filing becomes unavailable at the time of adjudication due to retrogression. Visa retrogression occurs when more people apply for a visa in a particular category or country than there are visas available. If, at the time of the I-485 adjudication, an applicant's priority date no longer meets the cut-off date published in the applicable Visa Bulletin (due to retrogression) his/her case must be held in abeyance until a visa once again becomes available.
Sometimes, however, the foreign national (through additional job experience or an advanced degree) obtains an approved EB-2 labor certification through the employer during the pendency of the EB-3 case. Interfiling allows our hypothetical applicant to "convert" or "transfer" the pending I-485 application from the existing approved EB-3 I-140 petition to the more recently approved EB-2 I-140 petition such that the applicant does not have to file and pay for another I-485 application.
The interfiling further requests the pending I-485 application be adjudicated using the EB-3 priority date but according to the availability of EB-2 visas. Therefore, the previous EB-3 I-140 petition is replaced with the newly approved EB-2 I-140, while keeping the earlier EB-3 priority date. As a result, the I-485 application can be granted if the retained EB-3 priority date is current in the EB-2 visa category at the time of the interfiling.
As one can see – while interfiling can be a very effective strategy for an accelerated or more beneficial path to permanent residency – there are many variables to consider dependent on the nature of one's case and circumstances. It is therefore advisable to consult an experienced immigration attorney to determine if interfiling is a viable option. The professionals at Sharma Law Offices, a highly rated immigration law firm in Atlanta, are happy to speak with you regarding interfiling and other immigration matters.

As initial reports from Thursday's crash of a commuter train in Hoboken, N.J., reveal that the engineer was found slumped over the controls of the train after the crash, it has also been reported the train lacked a high-tech system that could have prevented the crash.
More than 100 people were hurt and one person was killed when the No. 1614 Pascack Valley line train never slowed down as it entered the station but instead crashed into it at about 8:30 a.m. The one fatality appears to have been a woman waiting in the station.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said the engineer was "critically injured."
Advertisement - story continues below
"We have no indication at this point that this is anything other than a tragic accident," he said.
The Daily Mail reported the train did not have what's known as Positive Train Control, which can link satellite and sensor data to ensure trains do not go too fast or hit objects on the track.
TRENDING: LiAngelo Ball Tells Truth About The Day He Said 'Thank You' To President
The critical feature of PTC is that it can automatically override the engineer, in the event the engineer is unable to respond.
"It will not allow you to violate a speed restriction, a work-zone restriction or a red signal," said Joseph Szabo, a former head of the Federal Railroad Administration. "It just won't let you violate it."
Advertisement - story continues below
The National Transportation Safety Board which is investigating the crash, has been advocating for the installation of the technology on all trains.
New Jersey's transit agency, which is facing a Dec. 31, 2018 deadline for putting that technology in place on all trains, currently has no employees trained in using the technology, according to NBC.
A U.S. Department of Transportation report said New Jersey Transit "has had a contractor on board for several years." It also says NJT has done "partial testing over the course of the past year" on a locomotive and a cab car.
The NTSB has estimated that PTC technology could have prevented 145 rail accidents since 1969 that killed 288 people and injured 6,574.
Advertisement - story continues below
PTC was supposed to be installed on all trains by the end of 2015, but last year Congress approved and President Barack Obama signed legislation pushing back the deadline to 2018.
"They've got to get Positive Train Control implemented," said Richard Beal, a certified locomotive engineer.
"They've been talking about it for over a year. If they had that in place then the computers would take over if the engineer doesn't react the way he's supposed to do in an emergency situation. The Amtrak accident in Philadelphia kicked them in the rear end to get them talking about positive train control. But It just hasn't actually kicked into play yet," he said.
Eight people were killed and more than 200 passengers injured aboard Amtrak No. 188, which derailed in Philadelphia in May 2015.

(DailyMail) Female students at Minnetonka High School in Minnesota have been told to stop wearing trendy figure-hugging leggings and adopt more conservative styles. Principal David Adney sent an email to parents on Monday, asking them to talk to their daughters about wearing pants that expose too much 'leg and backside' that can be 'highly distracting' for others. He told the StarTribune: 'This new trend doesn't seem right, it's troubling. Cover your butts up – I'm just going to say it straight up. We're seeing too much.' More than 70 parents and other high schools reportedly called or e-mailed Mr Adney supporting his message, which didn't ban leggings, but urged teens to keep 'things covered up'. He added: 'It's not about trying to be the clothing police, it's just a sensitivity issue. Hopefully with us being the first to speak up, it will create a lot of conversations.'
This story just made me absolutely furious. Who the hell do you think you are David Adney? Trying to be some fuckin hero because you can't hide your raging boners triggered from staring at 17 year old jailbates walking the halls in yoga pants so you have to go and try to ruin the fun for everyone? Last time I checked we live in America bro, not fuckin Pakistan. Adolescent boys drooling over a nice rump bouncing up and down as they walk to class is a natural part of our society and if you ask me, our god given right. For all we know, the fact that high school girls choose to wear tight yoga pants to school every day could be the number one reason that more kids with miserable lives don't come to school one day with a shotgun. You're trying to take away that one ounce of happiness that some kids have to look forward to every day when they come to your shitty school. Sex appeal in high school is probably one of the main factors that keeps the kids sane and motivated. You, sir, need to stop for a second and consider the consequences of your actions. This is the kind of rule that I would expect to see attempted to be instituted by some old feminist nutjob principal whose tits sag below her belly button. If you are really was concerned about the well-being of your student body, you should focus your attention and concerns on just banning the whales at your school from wearing tight yoga pants. Because in reality, that is the stuff that no one wants to see.
Now everybody take a deep breath to relieve the incalculable amount of anger/stress that was just caused by this outrageous, human-rights infringing douche bag and take a second to scroll through this yoga pants photo gallery I threw together for your enjoyment. Thank me later.

Release Date: 10/9/2017
- Nation's Leading Residential Cleaning Company has Raised $2.75 Million since 1996 through Ms. Molly Foundation -
Molly Maid, a Neighborly company, has raised $2.75 million in support of victims of domestic violence. The nation's leading residential cleaning company is the only residential cleaning franchise to create its own 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Ms. Molly Foundation, which strives to increase public awareness of domestic violence and provides assistance to local shelters and agencies nationwide.
Each October, for the past 21 years, the franchise system comes together in honor of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month for the Ms. Molly Making a Difference Drive. Local Molly Maid offices collect funds and personal care items to donate to community shelters and agencies. In addition, franchise owners donate a portion of every house cleaning service to the cause, actively supporting the Ms. Molly Foundation. More than 80 percent of the franchise system participates in the drive.
The company recognizes a franchise owner each year for their commitment and support for victims of domestic violence at its annual convention. This year, Charlie and Megan Willingham, owners of Molly Maid of St. Louis, were honored as the 2016 Ms. Molly Making a Difference Award winners. They exceeded their $10,000 fundraising goal in 2016 through a well-planned campaign that began last August, and involved donating a portion of every clean throughout the year in addition to customer donations.
"Our team's support of the Ms. Molly Foundation was truly inspiring and this year's award belongs to them," said Megan Willingham. "It was amazing to see how instrumental everyone became in fundraising, from encouraging customers to get involved to even donating their own money in support of victims of domestic violence."
In 1996, Molly Maid Founder David McKinnon established the Ms. Molly Foundation. The nonprofit organization strives to increase public awareness of domestic violence and provides assistance to local shelters and agencies, supporting more than 100 this year.
"We're proud to honor the Willinghams and their staff with the Making a Difference Award for their collaborative support of ALIVE in St. Louis. Through the Ms. Molly Foundation, we hope to empower our communities to stop the cycle of violence in the home," said Molly Maid President Meg Roberts. "Ms. Molly allows our franchise owners, their employees, and customers to come together and support a cause that affects millions of women, men and children."
For more information about the Ms. Molly Foundation or to donate, visit www.msmolly.org.

Liam Payne hailed a hero after fire rescue
Liam Payne has been hailed a hero for helping to save a friend when a horrific fire broke out at the One Direction star's London apartment by beating out the flames. Payne's childhood pal Andy Samuel was left with 20 per cent burns to his chest, legs and arms after a heater on the balcony of the singer's penthouse exploded at a barbecue on Monday (02Sep13).
At the time of the accident, Payne was in the kitchen but he rushed out to extinguish the flames and douse his pal with water.
Now Samuel's stepfather Matthew Baker has praised the pop star for his heroic actions, telling Britain's Daily Mirror, "We are so grateful to Liam because he saved his life. The lantern just exploded as Andy was lighting it and it took the full force of the flames. Liam helped him by beating out the flames and dousing him with water. He acted quickly and swiftly.
"What happened was absolutely awful. My son is very poorly. I've spoken to Liam on the phone and he told me exactly what happened. He is very shocked himself. It's bad enough but it could have been a lot worse."
Andy's 12-year-old sister Harriet also posted a tweet to Payne, writing, "I want to thank Liam for saving my brother."
Samuel remains in a stable condition with Payne at his bedside, while two other unnamed victims were also taken to the hospital to be treated for superficial burns to their hands.
Officials are currently investigating the cause of the fire.

Golden Boy Promotions, through main promoter Richard Schaefer, has finally revealed the title of the upcoming fight between Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz. The title of this big boxing event which will happen on September 17 will be "Star Power".
Schaefer said that they will use "Star Power" as the name of the fight because Mayweather is the biggest star in boxing today and Victor Ortiz is one of the most explosive guys in boxing because he can knock anybody down.
Floyd Mayweather last fought in May 1, 2010 against "Sugar" Shane Mosley and won in the lopsided bout. Mosley never had another chance at pulling an upset after that 2nd round right hook which he landed in face of the undefeated fellow American.
Victor Ortiz last fought in April 16 this year against then undefeated Andre Berto. Many thought that Andre will win the fight via KO in the first few rounds but Ortiz proved them wrong. He was relentless in showing what he's got and his heart as a boxer was really seen during that fight.
On September 17, in the Mayweather vs Ortiz fight, many will surely watch both Stars in the boxing world. Mayweather is one of the biggest draws in boxing today and his fights usually lands in the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, even though an agreement was not finalized yet.
The upcoming super-fight will be televised via HBO PPV and a 24/7 reality TV series will help in hyping up the fight so Ortiz won't become a heavy underdog.

A central line is a tube (catheter) that is placed into a large vein, usually in the neck, chest, arm or groin. This catheter is often used to draw blood, or deliver fluids or medications to the patient. A bloodstream infection can occur when bacteria travel down a central line and enter the blood.
CLABSI by ICU
What are we doing to reduce central line-associated bloodstream infections?
To prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections, our doctors, nurses and other health care providers:
- Choose a vein where the catheter can be safely inserted and where the risk for infection is small
- Clean their hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub before putting in the catheter
- Wear a mask, cap, sterile gown and sterile gloves when putting in the catheter to keep it sterile
- Clean the patient's skin with an antiseptic cleanser before putting in the catheter
- Clean their hands, wear gloves and clean the catheter opening with an antiseptic solution before using the catheter to draw blood or give medications
- Use a checklist to ensure no critical steps are missed and allow anyone on the care team to stop the procedure if they notice an error
- Decide every day whether the patient still needs to have the catheter and remove it as soon as possible
Learn more about what we do to prevent these infections.
How are we doing?
By following these best practices and standardizing the central line insertion process throughout the hospital, we have dramatically lowered central line infection rates over time.
We continue to work on decreasing infection rates.
What can patients do to help?
Patients and their families can also help to reduce the incidence of central line-associated bloodstream infections. Download this central-line associated bloodstream infections fact sheet to see what preventive measures you and your family can take.

Flash Fiction Challenge: Good vs. Evil
This week's challenge was to write a story about good versus evil. I always liked the idea of flipping this idea on its head, that the duality depends entirely on who is telling the story. This idea was rambling around in my head all week, but I wasn't ready to put it down until now. Fair warning, I was in a bit of a mood when it eventually hit the keyboard. Anyway, I hope you like it.

Scully is having dinner with her mother and father. Her father asks why she hasent taken down her christmas tree and Scully jokes that its because she is making up for lost time. While her parents are getting ready to leave Scully asks her mother if her father is proud of her even though he didnt want her to join the FBI insted of being a doctor. Herfamily leaves and Scully falls asleep. When she wakes up she sees her father. she is confused because she thought her parents left. Then the phone rings and it is her mother. Her mother tells Scully that her father died of a massive coronary. Scully turns back to look for her father but he is not there.
Scully goes into work and Mulder is confused that she has come in to work. She says she just needs to work so Mulder tells her about the case he is checking out. It is a killer he put away who is on death row. He is asking to see Mulder because he says he has information on a kidnapping case that will help save two teenagers. Mulder dosent believe him because he claims to have the information becuase he became psychic due to a close call with the death penilty before it was called off.
Scully goes to the funural for her father where his ashes are scattered on the ocean and the song Beyond the Sea is playing because it was her parents favirot song.
Scully and Mulder get to North Carolina to talk to Boggs. Mulder gives Boggs a cloth and Boggs has a reaction to it. He says some crazy sounding stuff about a waterfall thats not really a waterfall, and an angel. Mulder laughs because he thinks that he has just proven he is lier because the cloth is something he cut off one of his shirts. Mulder thinks that anything he might know is because he hired someone to help him get off of death row. Then he starts to sing Beyond the Sea which freeks out Scully.
She is driving back to the hotel when she see's a waterfall on a neon sign and an angel statue. The clues lead her to a warehouse where she finds the missing girls bracelet. She lies to the police about why she went into the warehouse. She then tells Mulder that she lied and Mulder gets very upset that she followed the clues that Boggs left becuase she could have walked into a trap.
Scully talks to Mulder and says that even if he isnt psychic he is the only lead to the teens that they have so they have to follow it. Boggs tells them where the kids are being kept and then tells Mulder to stay away from the white cross or his blood will be spilt.
They go and are able to save the girl but Mulder chases after the kidnapper and the boy but when he gets close he is shot. Scully calls for help with the officer down and they rush Mulder to the hospitle.
Scully goes to Boggs and makes a threat but Boggs says she isnt gitting anymore information from him until she gets him a pardon and he knows that she believes him and that he will be able to let her father talk to her if she does what he wants.
Scully tries to get the pardon but no one will agree to give it to him so she is out of luck. She visits Mulder who still tells her not to trust Boggs but when Scully goes to Boggs he knows that she tried so he gives her the information. He also warns her not to follow the kidnapper after the Devil.
They arrive and rescue the Boy and Scully chases after the Kidnapper. He goes onto a wooden bridge but Scully stops because she sees a Blue Devil. The man's foot goes through the boards and then his body goes falling through as well. He falls to his death.
Scully goes to visit Boggs and tells him for what it is worth she doesnt think he had anything to do with the kidnapping because Boggs advice saved her life and if he had wanted he could have saved the Kidnapper. Boggs tells her that if she wants to know what her father wanted to say she should be there to witness at his exicution and then he will tell her.
We then see him in the gas chamber with no Scully as a witness and when asked if he has final words he says no. The chamber is then closed and the gas is released.
Mulder asks Scully why she didnt go see what Boggs had to say about her dad and why she is so stuborn to believe. She says that it was her father so she already knows what he was going to say and that she is Afraid to believe.

A/N: Regulus/Remus, for TechNomaNcer28. (You know, it actually feels kind of weird to first write Remus/Sirius and then Remus/Regulus. XD)
Regulus was glancing up from the Slytherin table towards the Gryffindor table, where his brother sat. But it wasn't his brother he was looking at. No, it was one of his brother's best friends. For some reason, Remus Lupin had an undeniable attraction on Regulus.
"Stop staring," he muttered to himself. What if Sirius noticed him looking? Or worse, what if Remus saw him looking? Not for the first time, he wished he could switch places with Sirius. That it would be him sitting on the Gryffindor table next to Remus. That it would be him laughing and having fun with him. That it would be him sharing a dorm with him.
But even the thought alone was treacherous. Regulus didn't want to end up burnt off the tapestry like Sirius, and he knew that if he ever voiced his feelings, that was what definitely would happen. Mother didn't really take kind to 'abnormalities' in the family.
Regulus sighed. His crush on Remus would probably always remain just that: a crush. He knew Remus would never return his feelings. But that wouldn't prevent him from daydreaming everytime he saw him.

Hey everyone! I'm super uber excited to be sharing with you this month's Beautiful Attainable Home Tour because it's someone I've known for a very long time. Meet Kelli. Kelli lived down and up a street from me while we were growing up. I follow her on Instagram and just fell in love with her unique and simplistic style. I could tell she lived in a really charming and interesting place, so when I contacted her to ask if I could feature her space on our blog, well I was in a big surprise. Not only does this bubbly girl live in one of the most historic spots in Downtown Salt Lake City with her bike riding husband, but the apartment complex they live in is over 100 years old! YES, I kid you not. Some might cringe at the thought of living in a 100 year old building, but the great thing about this place is the owners have restored everything down to the original hardwood floors, doors, hardware, tile in the bathrooms, and have tried to keep this place looking like it did 100 years ago.
As I walked up the stairs to Kelli and her husband's apartment I was greeted by a wool carpet runner down the stairs with exposed wood steps to the side. Seriously guys, who sees wool carpet runners in apartments? This is unheard of. Pretty much as soon as I walked in this 700 square foot apartment I was in LOVE. The big windows, the amazing amount of light this place gets, the original beautiful wood floor, you'll die when you see the green house room turned bike repair shop, and all of the charm this apartment exudes, I was getting weak at the knees. I don't want to spill the beans, so I'll have Kelli tell the rest.
The century old building we live in has been maintained beautifully the last hundred years. It was recently renovated before we moved in but the designers chose to keep the original tile as much as possible, as well as maintaining the original character of the building. The best of both worlds! We moved here last June, so we are coming up on a year in this place. Our unit is a little over 700 square feet, so it's pretty spacious for a one bedroom. We are lucky enough to have an extra sun room which we have converted into a bicycle work space for Jared.
Finding an affordable and decent apartment in Salt Lake City is surprisingly more difficult than I thought. After searching the city over, I'm convinced this old building is the perfect place for us. We love the original architecture of this building. Every room has high ceilings, crown molding and baseboards, original door handles with skeleton key slots, large windows, and my favorite: hardwood floors and beautiful tile. I also love that they left the walls white, which is easiest to work with when decorating.
I would describe my style as minimal and organic. I am most inspired by the earth. I am influenced by clean Danish lines, vintage and mid-century modern furniture, as well as earthy, Bohemian styles.
I went through a purging period when we moved in last year. I ruthlessly cleaned out our closets and all of our belongings. This may sound weird, but I love the way an apartment looks before anything is moved in. When we moved into this apartment I tried to maintain that clean, minimalistic feel as much as possible. The only thing I didn't purge were our plants. Never can there be too many plants! They have a big bang for their buck, too, because they are a cheap way to add interesting texture into a room. They also clean the air, which is something for which we don't give them enough credit. I am big into eating vitalized, organic foods. I have extended that philosophy into the way I created my home. There are other ways to incorporate organic materials into the home, including fresh flowers, sheepskin throws, wool tapestries, jute rugs, and even opting for real wood and metal elements rather than synthetic materials.
It may sound backwards, but if you know the right places to look, small businesses and thrift stores are actually a smart way to find affordable and unique pieces. I might sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I really think big business has tricked us into thinking they have the best deals, when really that's not always true! Etsy, eBay, and thrift stores are great places to find budget-friendly items. They require more time browsing but it pays off with great prices and unique items. Our Saarinen-inspired vintage tulip chairs I found on Craigslist for $100 for all four.
Our dresser was thrifted for $100 and matches the time period of our building exactly.
Most rooms in our home have a woven basket, which I purchased via Amazon, but the sellers are village artisans in developing countries. They were between $20-30, which to me is a great deal when I know the majority of that is going back into the developing country and not into huge corporate pockets.
I've only recently gotten started on this, but I love the idea of buying as much decor as possible from local artisans, small businesses, and thrift stores rather than large corporations. The one exception is our recently purchased sofa. After searching all over the web, I realized buying a sofa from a local artisan or even secondhand via eBay was going to be out of my price range or too risky since I couldn't return it. We ended up buying this sofa from Overstock, which was within our budget and a safe choice since we could return it and enjoy a warranty. We have a smattering of items from Ikea, Overstock, Urban Outfitters, Target, etc…but in the last year I've mostly avoided the big companies because of concerns about sustainability and fair trade labor.
We got our vintage black footstool from eBay for $10.
The vintage green chair is from a thrift store for $15. Basically all knick-knacks around our home are thrifted or secondhand. Our bright yellow Moroccan pouf I found on Etsy for $80, which is about the same price or a bit less than you see from the big corporations, and my purchase improved a local economy. I love that!
Our vintage Turkish kilim throw pillow I found on Etsy for $15.
Our home isn't perfect or complete, but when does anyone ever say their home is? I love that things are slowly always changing. Check back in a year and it will probably look quite different!
Thanks Kelli for letting me come into your home. Make sure to follow Kelli on her Instagram, she's truly inspiring.
