Employing apprentices — giving youngsters a foot up — has been a British tradition for centuries. Take the Cutty Sark. When it left London for Shanghai in 1872 on one of its earliest voyages, it had, the ship's manifest reports, 30 men on board — the master, the first, second and third mates, a cook, a carpenter, a sailmaker, 19 able seamen, three ordinary seamen ... and one apprentice.
Later she put to sea with up to four apprentices, some just 14 years old, many rising to become distinguished leaders in their fields. Captain Alban Chittenden learned his craft as a Cutty Sark apprentice, became captain of a British warship and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross during the First World War for outwitting a German U-boat and saving the lives of his crew.
Historically apprentices have occupied the first rung of the grand commercial endeavours that have made our capital great. And today, we seek to champion this tradition with a new Evening Standard campaign, Ladder for London.
The need is urgent. One in four young Londoners is unemployed. Of particular concern is the long-term youth unemployment figure, which has risen by 240 per cent country-wide in the past five years, the highest level for a generation. For young black males, the jobless rate has soared to staggering Third World levels of 55 per cent.
We are calling on employers across London — large, medium and small — to take on an apprentice to get young London working. And we are going to set the ball rolling by taking on an apprentice ourselves.
We are joining forces with an award-winning social enterprise, City Gateway, which provides training for unemployed young people, and which will source our initial pipeline of eager-to-learn apprentices. Led by the remarkable Eddie Stride, it has a decade of experience in placing apprentices with corporates in Canary Wharf and the City, and is expert at liaising with companies at all levels to find the perfect match between you, as an employer, and your apprentice. Its trail-blazing wrap-around approach, taking young adults from local estates and training them in the hard and soft skills our economy needs, has led to calls from the Prime Minister to clone them. "I want to see more City Gateways come in and take this recession by the scruff of the neck and help get people into work," said Mr Cameron.
The idea that apprenticeships are critical if we are to seriously tackle youth unemployment is now widely accepted. Alison Wolf, professor at King's College London and an expert in the field, identified apprenticeships in her seminal 2011 Wolf Report as providing "a key route into skilled employment and higher returns in terms of career progression and future earnings". A report by MPs on the Work and Pensions committee criticised the Government Youth Contract for not doing enough, noting that targeted "apprenticeships could make a considerable impact in tackling youth unemployment".
Last week, in response to the moving stories we published of Sana Babar, Mark Fordham, Jubbed Ahmed, Debo Ajose-Adeogun and Melisha Kaur, you, readers of the Standard, called, emailed and wrote to us in your hundreds generously to offer help and to express your outrage and determination that something must be done.
Mayor Boris Johnson hailed our investigation, saying it has "shone a bright light on what is a crucial issue for the future growth of this city" and that it was "vital" to get a grip on the crisis "if young Londoners are to realise their full potential". Labour MP Diane Abbott said that "a whole generation of young Londoners looks into the abyss of permanent unemployment" and that we all — Government, the Mayor, and communities — need to help to "save a potentially lost generation".
It is time for action. But we need your help. There are 120,000 young people currently looking for work in London. More than anything, these young adults say, they want to learn a skill and earn an honest living. Every time we put a young person into an apprenticeship, we change a life.
It's a simple, inspiring vision. Ask your company to set the ball rolling by taking an apprentice. It doesn't cost much, yet the benefits for each person who gains that first rung on the ladder, and collectively for our city, are incalculable.Reuse content

KILLEEN — The Army Marathon may have been in its first year of existence in 2013, but for Killeen attorney Steve Walden, it didn't matter.
It was a marathon in his backyard and a chance for the veteran to help out military charities.
"This is the Army Marathon right here where soldiers really are," Walden said. "There's no bigger installation than Fort Hood, so I thought it was very important that we get our own marathon here."
Walden served in the Army for a total of seven years, three as an enlisted member and four as a judge advocate.
Qualify for Boston Marathon
The Orlando, Fla., native took advantage of his first Army Marathon experience, qualifying for the Boston Marathon.
After the bombing last year, Walden knew he had to be part of the crowd that would run and show off the resilience of the event and American citizens during the 2014 Boston Marathon in April.
"I knew that I was not going to miss this race for anything," Walden said.
The 118th Boston Marathon is April 21.
Walden, 44, qualified for the 2014 Boston Marathon by running a time of 3:12.49 at the Army Marathon last year.
Walden will be volunteering at this year's Army Marathon on March 2 as a starting line coordinator because the race falls too close to the Boston Marathon to participate as a runner.
Positive experience
"This is all very, very positive and helps legitimize the Army Marathon as a great course to come to help qualify," Army Marathon race director Ed Bandas said.
The second Army Marathon begins at 7 a.m. March 2. The course begins in Killeen just outside of Fort Hood and goes through Harker Heights, Nolanville and Belton before ending in Temple.
The Army Marathon II also has a half marathon and 5k run.
Vivid memories
Walden remembers April 15 vividly.
He was sitting at his desk during a normal workday when he began getting text messages from friends asking about his safety.
"Suddenly I started getting some emails and other texts," Walden said. "'Are you in Boston?' 'Where are you?'"
This year's Boston Marathon will have a field of 36,000 runners, an increase of 9,000 over its usual size.
Walden said he took up running in high school and the passion and drive never went away. Even during the grueling eight to 12 weeks before a marathon race.
"At an early age I started really liking to race, and I stayed with it pretty much all of my life," Walden said.

Syrian American activist Ramah Kudaimi says progressives need to stop talking about Syria as Iraq redux, but learn about the actual history and people of Syria. While opposing U.S. intervention, Kudaimi says we need to put the blame for the devastation and enormous loss of life in Syria where it belongs, on the Assad regime, and not use rhetoric of "both sides are wrong" or "it's just a civil war and we should stay out of it."

Solari Update: Detox Power!
"The first wealth is health."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
By Catherine Austin Fitts
Detoxification has revolutionized my life. After sporadic (and very helpful) attempts, I started a detoxification program in 2006 with the help of my nutritionist Dr. Laura Thompson, founder of the Southern California Institute of Nutrition.
At that time, I had little understanding of toxicity - where it came from and what it could do to destroy personal power - our ability to imagine, create and think, our ability to set and achieve goals, our ability to communicate and relate with other people and our ability to manage and protect our financial assets. I do now.
Understanding how to remain free from rising levels of mental and physical toxicity is critical knowledge for life in the 21st century no matter where you live, how healthy you are now and no matter what your age, sex, race or religion. The onslaught of environmental pollution means we need to be pro-active in ways that did not concern prior generations.
A wonderful Solari Report subscriber asked our team for this introduction to detoxification. What is it, why is it important and how do busy people manage to take advantage of the incredible knowledge we have to keep our bodies clean from harmful toxins? How can a family do it together? I asked Dr. Thompson to join me to review a very full list of detox options. We are going to focus on how, how, how!
My prayer is that you enjoy wonderful health. I hope this information will help you do so.
I will start with Money and Markets and Ask Catherine. Please post your questions on the blog.
This will be an important Solari Report - I hope you will join us!

SEMINOLE — The opportunity was there for Osceola, at least momentarily, to unseat perennial power Palm Harbor University in conference pool play and help shift the balance of power from the north part of the county to the south.
In the first game of Wednesday's match, the Warriors held a 24-22 lead, one point from taking control early. But the lead evaporated as the Hurricanes reeled off four straight points to win, 26-24.
With the chance to seize momentum wiped away, Osceola watched as PHU won the next two games, 25-15 and 25-20, to sweep.
"We're young and still growing as a team," Warriors coach Ryan Kramer said. "I think losing that late lead got in their head a little bit and sucked the air out of them. If we were allowed to call a 20-minute timeout to let them take a deep breath and relax, I think we would have been okay."
Osceola (5-4) built a lead in the first game thanks to libero Katie Newman, who kept balls in play that otherwise would have gone for points.
"That was Katie's best match of the year," Kramer said. "She kept us in the game early."
The Hurricanes (9-2) rallied in the first game with solid serves and the ability to direct shots away from Newman.
"To be honest, I thought we were lucky to pull out the first game," PHU coach Tara Kuk said. "We really didn't play well most of the match, which was disappointing, especially after the way we played the night before."
The Hurricanes were coming off perhaps their biggest win of the season, a five-game victory over district rival Bradenton Manatee that put PHU in position to still claim the top seed.
If there was a letdown, it was erased after pulling through the first game Wednesday.
PHU bore down to take the next two games. The only suspense came in the third when the Hurricanes scored four of the final five points to pull away in what was a tight game.
PHU turned things around by dominating at the net. Naomi Mack had 13 kills and Jazmine Barker had 11 to lead the Hurricanes' attack.
"In the last two games we played better defensively, and we were strong at the net," Kuk said. "But overall, I know we can play way better than that."

A federal magistrate judge ruled Thursday, March 20 that T.I. can be away from home from 8:30 A.M. to 2 P.M. Sunday, March 23 for services by New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.
A federal magistrate judge ruled Thursday, March 20 that T.I. can attend Easter services. The rapper, who's been under house arrest while he awaits his trial on weapons charges, has been granted the permission to attend a service sponsored by the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church from 8:30 A.M. until 2 P.M. on Easter Sunday, March 23.
The rapper, indeed, must be accompanied by a court-approved monitor and one of his attorneys. The service, according to MTV, was originally planned to be held at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, but due to tornado damage at the venue, it may be held at the church's location in Lithonia, Georgia.
T.I. was charged with illegally purchasing machine guns and silencers in an Atlanta parking lot, hours before the BET Awards back on October 13, 2007. He's been pleaded not guilty and is currently freed on $3 million bond; $2 million in cash bond and $1 million in property. He reportedly is facing 30 years in jail if convicted of the charges.
Initially had his lawyers filed two motions on November 6, asking a judge to allow him to have visitors at his house on Thanksgiving as he's under 24-hour house arrest while waiting trial, T.I. later on decided to withdraw his request because of the strong opposition they faced from prosecutors.
During his house arrest, T.I. has been spending his time writing some materials for a new album, reportedly to be titled "Paper Trail," which is expected to be released in September 2008 via Grand Hustle/Atlantic.

As Linux/UNIX people, we spend a lot of time working in the shell, and in many cases, this is what we have staring back at us:
If you happen to be root, you're entitled to the "prestige" version of this beautiful prompt:
These prompts are not exactly pretty. It's no wonder that several Linux distributions have upgraded their default prompts that add color and additional information to boot. However, even if you happen to have a modern distribution that comes with a nice, colorful prompt, it may not be perfect. Maybe you'd like to add or change some colors, or add (or remove) information from the prompt itself. It isn't hard to design your own colorized, tricked-out prompt from scratch.
Under bash, you can set your prompt by changing the value of the
$ export PS1="> " >
Changes take effect immediately, and can be made permanent by placing the
$ export PS1="This is my super prompt > " This is my super prompt >
While this is, um, interesting, it's not exactly useful to have a prompt that contains lots of static text. Most custom prompts contain information like the current username, working directory, or hostname. These tidbits of information can help you to navigate in your shell universe. For example, the following prompt will display your username and hostname:
$ export PS1="\u@\H > " drobbins@freebox >
This prompt is especially handy for people who log in to various machines under various differently-named accounts, since it acts as a reminder of what machine you're actually on and what privileges you currently have.
In the above example, we told bash to insert the username and hostname into the
prompt by using special backslash-escaped character sequences that bash
replaces with specific values when they appear in the
So, there you have all of bash's special backslashed escape sequences. Play around with them for a bit to get a feel for how they work. After you've done a little testing, it's time to add some color.
Adding color is quite easy; the first step is to design a prompt without color. Then, all we need to do is add special escape sequences that'll be recognized by the terminal (rather than bash) and cause it to display certain parts of the text in color. Standard Linux terminals and X terminals allow you to set the foreground (text) color and the background color, and also enable "bold" characters if so desired. We get eight colors to choose from.
Colors are selected by adding special sequences to
When we specify a zero as a numeric code, it tells the terminal to reset foreground, background, and boldness settings to their default values. You'll want to use this code at the end of your prompt, so that the text that you type in is not colorized. Now, let's take a look at the color codes. Check out this screenshot:
To use this chart, find the color you'd like to use, and find the corresponding foreground (30-37) and background (40-47) numbers. For example, if you like green on a normal black background, the numbers are 32 and 40. Then, take your prompt definition and add the appropriate color codes. This:
$ export PS1="\w> "
$ export PS1="\e[32;40m\w> "
So far, so good, but it's not perfect yet. After bash prints the working
directory, we need to set the color back to normal with an
$ export PS1="\e[32;40m\w> \e[0m"
This definition will give you a nice, green prompt, but we still need to add a
few finishing touches. We don't need to include the background color setting of
40, since that sets the background to black which is the default color anyway.
Also, the green color is quite dim; we can fix this by adding a
$ export PS1="\[\e[32;1m\]\w> \[\e[0m\]"
Don't be afraid to use several colors in the same prompt, like so:
$ export PS1="\[\e[36;1m\]\u@\[\e[32;1m\]\H> \[\e[0m\]"
I've shown you how to add information and color to your prompt, but you can do
even more. It's possible to add special codes to your prompt that will cause
the title bar of your X terminal (such as rxvt or aterm) to be dynamically
updated. All you need to do is add the following sequence to your
Simply replace the substring
$ export PS1="\[\e]2;\u@\H \w\a\e[32;1m\]>\[\e[0m\] "
This is the particular prompt that I'm using in the color chart screenshot,
above. I love this prompt, because it puts all the information in the title bar
rather than in the terminal where it limits how much can fit on a line. By the
way, make sure you surround your titlebar sequence with
if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ] then
# We're on the system console or maybe telnetting inexport PS1="\[\e[32;1m\]\u@\H > \[\e[0m\]" else # We're not on the console, assume an xtermexport PS1="\[\e]2;\u@\H \w\a\e[32;1m\]>\[\e[0m\] " fi
This bash conditional statement will dynamically set your prompt based on your
current terminal settings. For consistency, you'll want to configure your
source ~/.bashrc
This way, you'll get the same prompt setting whether you start a login or non-login shell.
Well, there you have it. Now, have some fun and whip up some nifty colorized prompts!

Grief & Loss
Stephanie Kinney, LIMHP, CMFT
Certified Marriage and Family Therapist
400 North Minnesota Ave, Hastings, NE
I approach loss from the perspective that even though we can no longer physically touch our loved one, we never have to say goodbye. Grief therapy in my office focuses on keeping the loved one in your heart and knowing that he or she is always there when asking the question, "What would ? say" Making memory books and boxes, shedding tears while sharing laughter, the client is urged to go on knowing he or she is never without the person he or she loves. Coping skills are also developed and practiced, as well as eradicating any irrational self-blame for the loved one's death.

 ==Burning the .iso image==

 One of the most common problems with burning a Linux install CD/DVD is that people sometimes don't understand that an iso image file is not a normal file. You cannot just burn the iso to disc to and expect it to work. I repeat: '''you cannot simply put the iso file on a blank disk and expect it to work'''. In order to properly make a CD or DVD out of an iso image, you need special software. Instructions for Nero and Isorecorder are included; for other programs, see the manual for the software, or just give one of these a shot.

 With Nero you just select file and burn image, then select the .iso file you want to burn. The software handles the rest.

 If you're cheap, like me you can download a free image burner.

 isorecorder [http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm] is a good one that I have had luck with. Simply download and install the correct version for your version of windows, then right click on the .iso and tell it to burn. Simple as that.

 Good Luck and welcome to Linux.

We don't suspend the threads on a filesystem freeze - they continue run. A filesystem freeze guarantees the filesystem clean and that the in memory state matches what is on disk. It is not possible for the filesytem to issue I/O or have outstanding I/O when it is in the frozen state, so the state of the threads and/or workqueues does not matter because they will be idle.

Elle UK Dresses Up The Underground With Designer Ads For Fashion Week
London Fashion Week is about to be a quarter-century old! (Insert joke here about quarter-life crises.) For its 25th anniversary, Elle UK is sponsoring a huge ad campaign, which went up today in tube stations all over the city. Having commissioned 25 designers to make posters, it's clear the magazine gave the artists free reign on what they could dream up, because most don't even reference Fashion Week. Matthew Williamson's design features a tie-dye print; Mulberry came up with a crafty "Love" slogan with a peace sign as the O; Paul Smith's illustration features different colored hangers intertwined in a squiggly mess.
What we're really finding awesome, however, is Henry Holland's take (above), "25 yrs of L.F.W. and all you get is this lousy poster," which inadvertently pokes fun at London Fashion Week's struggle to keep up with Paris and New York. Check out some of the other Elle posters after the jump! [Elle UK]
Left: Is it just us or does Naomi Campbell's boob look weird? Right: Lulu Guiness's vibrant kisses.
Left: Not sure what Luella is really trying to say with this money cartoon … Right: Pat McGrath's kiss of gold.

Floods hit five million in India
About five million people have now been affected by worsening flooding in eastern India.
At least 30 people have died in flood-affected Indian states while another 50 people have died in neighbouring Nepal after landslides caused by flash floods.
Continuing torrential rainfall is causing chaos.
In the Indian states of Assam and Bihar, main rivers have burst their banks in several places, submerging vast areas.
Hundreds of villages are now under water. Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced from their homes.
Record damage
Details are sketchy because communications are disrupted too; officials in Bihar say at least 32 people there have drowned in the last few days.
They are calling it the worst flooding for more than a decade, with four million people now affected.
In Assam, the collapse of more river banks has plunged three new districts under water.
The army has been called out to help with rescuing the stranded.
Here, another one and a half million people have been affected.
In Nepal, flash floods have triggered more landslides, killing at least 50 people on Wednesday alone. Many more are still missing.
Intense crisis
Many of the incidents are in remote villages, and it is hard for rescue workers to get to the scene.
Getting emergency food and medicines to survivors is difficult too.
The combination of floods and landslides has forced thousands of people to leave their homes, with the central and eastern parts of the country worst hit.
The army and police have been called out to help.
Flooding is an annual hazard in this region during the heavy monsoon rainfall, but this year, the crisis seems particularly intense.

At the end of every quarter, beginning on the Wednesday before finals week, the Academic Administration provides students with the opportunity to evaluate each of their qualified courses using a system called EvaluationKIT that is integrated with Canvas. Below is a copy of the survey questions for your reference.
All surveys are completely anonymous. It is impossible to connect an individual survey response with a student's name—even for the administrators. Professors are only given a copy of the statistical results at the end of the course evaluation period after final grades are posted.
To further protect student anonymity, only courses with five or more students enrolled are selected for the survey process. Courses such as labs, practicums, and courses with fewer than five students are not surveyed.
If you have any questions about this process, please contact the office of the Associate Academic Dean at Ext. 7103 or email the survey administrator at email@example.com.
We know that rating your courses may seem tedious, but your professors really do appreciate your comments—whether you convey appreciation or constructive criticism. Even if you are satisfied with the course, it is very important that you share your feedback so that the results will be balanced and accurate.
Below are just a few testimonies from professors explaining some changes that were made based on course surveys they received.
"I have ditched and replaced textbooks in two different courses based, in part, on feedback I received from student course surveys. This worked to my future students' benefit!"
"Students' comments in course surveys have reminded me of the value of integrating spiritual discussions into topics we address in class."
~Tom Lee
"I believe the course surveys have provided feedback that has allowed me to continually improve my courses. For instance, last year in General Psychology I had an activity in which students spent around 5 minutes teaching material to their group that only they had prepared ahead of time from a book of readings on myths. Afterwards I randomly selected several students to answer questions about this material in front of the entire class. Students received points for themselves and their group based on the judged adequacy of their answers. The course survey showed a number of students unhappy with this process (e.g. feelings of anxiety about being chosen to speak up in front of the large class and fear that they would let their group down). This quarter I discontinued this activity and instead give a short quiz over the material after the peer teaching portion. So far, it seems to have worked better. I guess we'll see after the next course survey!"
~Charlene Bainum
"When grading papers for my students, I chose to leave audio feedback for them on Canvas, instead of leaving traditional written feedback. My students told me they appreciated that when they filled out their course surveys. I plan to continue using the audio comments in Canvas as a way to help my students achieve on their assignments."
~Tammy McGuire
It's always therapeutic for me to hear the positive along with the negative about a course. It helps in planning for that course the next time it's taught. Some students would rather share their concerns and praises in this fashion instead of a face-to-face meeting with the instructor, so I encourage all my students to participate and "VOTE"!

The home team earned the points by capitalizing on some lax play from the Galaxy defense.
The Galaxy outshot, out-passed, and out-possessed the Dynamo, but Tally Hall was equal to the task with four saves and Houston put a tick in the only meaningful statistical column in the 61st minute.
Giles Barnes scored the only goal of the match, capitalizing on an LA disaster. Mark Sherrod's dogged work paid off when he intercepted a throw-in to Galaxy keeper Jaime Penedo. With Barnes following up, Sherrod made the easy pass and the Englishman picked his corner to put his team up 1-0.
Houston jumps to 6-5-2 on the season, while LA limps along with a disappointing 2-4-3 record.

A year after launching Canada's first national guidelines for workplace mental health, the agency behind the program says it doesn't know how many employers are using it – or how.
A few big names such as Bell Canada have publicly embraced the National Standard For Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace since its release in January, 2013.
The document has also been downloaded more than 16,000 times, the Mental Health Commission of Canada said Thursday.
But whether employers have acted on its recommendations remains unclear.
"It's something that we are beginning to think about," Louise Bradley, the commission's president and CEO, said in a news conference marking the program's anniversary.
"We have developed an online survey that's now going to be made available to all of the 16,000 people who downloaded it to let us know who is implementing it."
The commission is also planning a three-year study to track how some 25 businesses apply the standard, a voluntary set of tools and resources meant to improve and support mental health at work.
The study, which is scheduled to begin Feb. 1, aims to chronicle how the guidelines affect each workplace and help promote the program on a national scale, the commission said.
The standard has been hailed as a groundbreaking effort to deal with a condition that affects one in five Canadians and keeps roughly half a million people from going to work each week.
It has made Canada a global leader in battling mental illness, said Labour Minister Kellie Leitch.
"We've set now a new international bar," she said.
Safeguarding mental health in the workplace "not only improves the lives of individual workers but it makes solid business sense," said Ms. Bradley.
It helps boost productivity and reduce the costs of short- and long-term disability claims, she said.
Some companies may face practical hurdles in carrying it out, said George Cope, president and CEO of Bell Canada.
"I think it's a great first year [but] I think one of the challenges for companies is once they put the standard in, how do they do some of the training?" he said.
The telecommunications giant adopted the guidelines and has made mental health training mandatory for some 4,000 of its leaders, he said.
A more thorough version of that training will be offered through a new workplace mental health certificate training program.
The training program will be run by a human resources consulting firm Morneau Shepell, and certified by Queen's University in Kingston. It will combine in-class and online learning.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story erroneously said Queen's University would run a new workplace mental health certificate training program. They are, in fact, certifying a program being run by Morneau Shepell. This version has been corrected.Report Typo/Error

UK Employment Law
UK Employment Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
Hi, I am in UK for last 4 years on T1G General visa and had been working full time, I need some advice for my mothers family visit visa/general visit visa. So far it has been refused 5 time in last 4 years and recently got rejected last month. In the initial application we have shown that my brother who runs a business in India is sponsoring her, we have shown that she has property other assets worth £100,000 in India. Everytime the refusal was over concern about my brothers business ownership, they had been stating that we have not provided any proff that my brother owns the buisness, we kept business registeration and other document and finally in the last refusla they stated that though my brother owns the business and have around £50,000 in the account their is no proof that this money will be available to my mother on her visit. They have also stated that my brothers personal account shows only £200 balance so they are not sure that my mom will able to stay in uk without working. I need to know what shall I do now as the appeal system is also closed now, I dont know what to do my mother is 45 year in age and I really want her to come and stay with me for 2 months, I am working and earn £50K salary so I can take care about her, I am renting a flat as well in london. I need to know how to present my case this time so that visa officer get clear idea that my mother is genuinely going to visit me and leave in 2 months time and she wont be working. Thanks, Anurag
About me sponsoring my mother is not a problem but since the initial application we have shown as my brother is sponsoring, so if now I will show as I am the sponsorer that would create a doubt in visa officer's mind...
My brother can put money in her account but the thing is my mother already has a balance of £3000 but they are not considering, in the last refusal they said that my brother is having only £200 in his personal account, the reason for that is that he keeps all his money in his business account that has balance of £50,000, they are not sure how this £50,000 will be available to my mother for her visit...
Thank you for your reply.
The issues with this application is that you are reliant on monies which neither you your money or your brother have. The money you are referring to belongs to the company because a company is a separate entity. Therefore any money in the company can not be accessed by your mother, that is why the home office is not sure how it will be available for your mother.
What I suggest you do is support your mother's application to the home office. The home office and write an affidavit stating that you will accommodate her,provide for her during the duration of her stay in the uk. You should then ensure that the home office consider the fact that there is £3000 in her account and that because you are sponsoring her that would be more than adequate for her during her stay. You need to submit your bank statements and also tenancy agreement and employment payslips confirming that you are employed in the uk and have a tier 1 visa allowing you to work. And because you are unable to visit your mother in her home country due to work, you would like her to come and visit you in the uk. This would give her application a better chance of success.
I hope this answers your question if so kindly rate my answer positively so I can get credited for my time. If however you feel that the answer does not cover all the points raised in your question please DO NOT rate my answer negatively I will be happy to answer further questions until you are satisfied with my answer. Kind regards
I have few concerns:
(1) In last 5 applications we have shown that my brother is sponsoring my mother and now If i will show as i am sponsoring that would create a doubt, isn't it??
(2) Could you tell me how much balance should I have in my account that would give visa officer assurance that I can take care about my mother's expense...
Thanks for your advice, could you please spare out some time and quickly have a look at the 5 refusals that I have received for my mother so far, the link below will get you to though refusal letters..---------
Let me know if you think that now its ok to remove my brother all together from the application and just keep me and my mom's document.
Will the visa officer wont reject the application stating that so far they had been refusing because I was stating that my mom is dependent on my brother and this time their is no mention about him.
One last thing for the 5 refusal letters,
-> Abhishek Agarwal is my brother,
->Alka Agarwal is my mother,
->Anurag Agarwal is my name and
-> Jagdamba Agencies is my brother's sole ownership firm that deals in plywood materials.
On hearing back from you will mark the answer...
Just for your reference and as a follow up, I have approached 2 separate Visa assistance provider for preparing my mothers file in London and both told me the same thing that it is not at all advisable to change the sponsor as this would create a doubt in mind of UKBA officer.
Both had advice me that I should better apply again showing my brother as sponsorer and explaining them about their concern.
Becoming a sponsorer and removing my brother from the application will result in straight rejection.
Just wanted to let you know this as I got the same reply from 2 different leading visa assistance companies.
I am happy with the answer, by mistake I pressed wrong feedback button and just now realise mistake, the site has no option to revert it back...
I am happy with the advise given by UK_Lawyer and would like to rate "Best Service" for my question.

Two Muslim Tesco workers have won a discrimination case against the supermarket after bosses kept their prayer room locked.
Abdirisak Aden and Mahamed Hasan, were among a number of Muslim employees who had lobbied for a prayer room since 2006.
In 2008 managers agreed to set aside a security office at the distribution depot in Crick, Northamptonshire.
But in 2012 bosses set new restrictions on the use of the room which included keeping it locked when it was not in use.
Muslim workers were forced to tell managers when they were going to pray and had to ask for the key and fill in their names in a book every time they entered the room.
They also claimed they were forbidden to worship in groups and were only allowed to pray one at a time.
Bedford Employment Tribunal found Tesco was guilty of indirect discrimination and awarded the men an undisclosed sum for "injury to their feelings".
The tribunal heard both men had made it clear to their bosses that they needed to pray at set times in a clean environment.
They claimed that Tesco managers were aware of the difficulties Muslim employees faced while trying to pray with no place allocated for them to do this.
A Tesco spokesperson told The Muslim News, "We take our responsibilities as an equal opportunities employer very seriously. We await the full written judgment before deciding whether to appeal."
The men and the Northamptonshire Rights and Equality Council which represented them were not available to comment.

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Rotti, Priyanka Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-11132012-170856 Title Opportunistic Lookahead Routing Protocol for Delay Tolerant Networks Degree Master of Science (M.S.) Department Computer Science Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Kannan, Rajgopal Committee Chair Busch, Konstantin Committee Member Zhang, Jian Committee Member Keywords
- Routing
- Delay Tolerant Networks
- Backpressure
Date of Defense 2012-10-25 Availability unrestricted AbstractDelay Tolerant Networks are wireless networks that have sporadic network connectivity, thus rendering the existence of instantaneous end-to-end paths from a source to a destination difficult or impossible. Hence, in such networks, message delivery relies heavily on the store-and-forward paradigm to route messages. However, limited knowledge of the contact times between the nodes poses a big challenge to effective forwarding of messages.
In this thesis, we discuss several aspects of routing in DTNs and present one algorithm and three variants for addressing the routing problem in DTNs: (i) the Look-ahead Protocol, in which the forwarding decision at each node to its immediate or one-hop neighbor is based on the position of the packet / message in the queue of the neighboring node(ii) Backpressure based lookahead, where a lookahead factor is introduced with the basic backpressure equation. This factor takes into account the difference of queue lengths from the neighbors, (iii) a two-step lookahead protocol, where the forwarding decision is sometimes based on the instantaneous one-hop neighbors of the neighboring node.
We also present simulation results of these protocols and compare these results to the existing standard routing protocols for DTNs. In all the algorithms, we look to optimize the amount of network bandwidth used by looking one step ahead before making a forwarding decision. By considering the queue in the neighboring nodes, the amount of network resources consumed decreases. The protocols that we propose may come with a slightly higher hop-count per packet than most protocols, but we have tried to maintain a comparable delivery ratio with the existing standard protocols

Keri Russell reinvents herself in motherhood
Keri Russell's "comeback year" has the feel of a reinvention, a re-branding of the dainty young lovely who burst on the scene with "Felicity" back in the last century.
But as different as her flinty mom in the new film "Dark Skies" might seem, as dangerous and "out there" as her born-again Bolshevik sleeper spy is in TV's "The Americans," she refuses to label her return to public view a career makeover.
"The great think about disappearing is that people forget about you a little bit," Russell says. "Your past is forgotten. You can come back as something fresh and new. These past two years, I've come back to all these interesting things that people might not have thought about me for in the past. They just happened."
She stepped away from film and TV half a dozen years ago, getting married and giving birth to two children, who are now 1 and 5. At 36, she's a different person — a mom, for starters. And it's made her a different actress.
"Anything that opens you up emotionally is going to impact your acting," she says. "Parenthood, becoming a mom, certainly does that. For one thing, you practice storytelling at its most basic."
Basic, and maybe primal. Russell's return to the big screen has her playing a suburban mom whose children are threatened by a supernatural menace. Her turn as Lacy Barrett in "Dark Skies" — in theaters Friday — was informed by her own motherhood — and by imagining real-life motherly terrors.
"The thing I kept in my mind doing those scenes where things got truly hairy for our characters was Katrina. It helped me to try to imagine what that would feel like, as a parent — to know something so enormous was coming your way, hitting you, something you have no control over, and that you have these little precious kids in your charge who are looking to you to take care of."
Her "Mama Bear" on television's "The Americans" (Wednesday nights on FX) is an altogether-different mom, a mother of a mother from Mother Russia, laying low in suburban D.C. with her fellow-agent husband (Matthew Rhys), ready to ratchet up the Cold War to match new president Ronald Reagan's 1981 rhetoric.
"Elizabeth, the spy, is plainly more stunted in her emotional life," Russell says of the TV series. "She's very uncomfortable showing it. She is very hard to like, she's not the most moral person and she's not exactly a touchy-feely mom. She is a communist, after all.
"And we'll find out, over the run of the show, just what made her the way she is.
"But she's at a place now where she realizes she's not going to survive if she doesn't bend."
Roger Moore is a movie critic for McClatchy-Tribune News Service.

After the New Orleans Saints waived him for the 17th time recently, the team re-signed wide receiver Andy Tanner to its practice squad on Tuesday, according to the NFL's transaction wire.
Tanner initially landed on the 53-man roster the Saints (2-0) unveiled Aug. 31, but he was inactive for the 23-17 win against the Atlanta Falcons (1-1) in Week 1. The Saints on Sept. 12 announced they had cut him to make room for defensive end/outside linebacker Jay Richardson, signed to bolster a defensive front that has been affected by numerous injuries.
Tanner, who played his collegiate ball at Division II's Midwestern State, has been on and off the Saints practice squad since 2010. He caught six passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the preseason before beating out Courtney Roby and Preston Parker for the Saints' No. 5 wide receiver spot, behind Marques Colston, Lance Moore, Kenny Stills and Nick Toon.
Tanner's spot on the 53-man roster became tenuous when the Saints repatriated wideout Robert Meachem on Sept. 3. San Diego three days earlier released Meachem, who signed a contract guaranteeing him $14 million to join the Chargers in 2012 after spending his first five years in the NFL with New Orleans.
The Saints cut fullback Austin Johnson from the practice squad to clear up a spot for Tanner, whose soft hands and clean route-running make him a fan favorite each training camp he spends with New Orleans.

Local Labour politician Dr Elaine Murray wants to see the publication of updated guidance to authorities on how to address the issue.
She said that the town suffered serious problems with people being attacked by gulls and the mess the birds make.
Now the MSP wants to see action taken on recommendations made in a research project published on the issue.
Dr Murray said the time was right for something to be done.
"We are getting to the nesting season," she said.
"We know that when the chicks are around the seagulls do become particularly aggressive.
"Quite often there are instances of people getting attacked and so on."
She said councils needed guidance on how to tackle the problems.
As well as the attacks on people she highlighted the issue of rubbish bags being ripped open by gulls.
"That is not good for tourism," she said.
'Coastal towns'
"We don't want visitors to be seeing that sort of mess when they come to visit us."
A spokesman for the RSPB said the best ways to tackle any problems were to stop the birds nesting on roofs and cut down their food sources.
He said: "There have been seagulls in Dumfries for hundreds of years They are a natural part of the landscape in Dumfries and other coastal towns.
"We appreciate that they can become a nuisance where they build up in numbers.
"The biggest thing is not to leave food out for them. The way to tackle any problem is to look at how we dispose our rubbish."

Eureka Council shows support for extending Supplemental Transaction and Use Tax
EUREKA- At Tuesday night's Eureka City Council meeting, the council showed their support for getting the 5 year extension of the Supplemental Transaction and Use Tax, previously known as Measure O, placed on the November ballot.
Eureka city officials say the increased sales tax provides about $4 million to the City of Eureka annually. Under the measure, one half of one percent of a sale is added to the existing sales tax, which goes to emergency services, street maintenance and parks and recreation among other services. Now city staff will need to provide the council with the necessary amending ordinance and resolution for putting the extension of the increased tax on the November ballot. City officials say at that point, the council could approve putting the extension on the November ballot at the June 3rd council meeting.
The Supplemental Transaction and Use Tax is currently set to expire in 2016.

Smurfs 2 The Video Game features 31 Smurfs that can be unlocked during the game, but not all of them are playable characters.
The following game guide reveals the complete lists of Smurfs and explains how to unlock them faster.
The videogame developed by Ubisoft and WayForward Technologies is an action platformer divided in six worlds, each world featuring six levels.
The final level of a world includes a boss, and as soon as players manage to defeat it, a new playable Smurf is unlocked. When the game starts, players can choose from up to four Smurfs which are automatically unlocked, these Smurfs being Papa Smurf, Clumsy, Grouchy, and Vanity.
At the end of the first world, players who manage to defeat the Giant Frog will unlock Brainy, while those who successfully defeat Azrael in Spooky Woods will eventually unlock Gutsy. The remaining playable Smurfs are Jokey, Hefty and Smurfette.
Even if these are the main characters in Smurfs 2 The Game, players can unlock more Smurfs by collecting the hidden gold coins.
The coins are easy to find, but hard to get, especially during the first playthrough, because most of them require specific Smurfs.
For example some coins are located in high places that can only be reached by Brainy who can jump higher than other Smurfs. Other coins are located behind blocks made of stone and only Hefty, Jokey or Gutsy can destroy them.
Players, who wish to unlock all Smurfs in the videogame and in single-player mode, should focus on completing the game once, because at the end of the sixth world, they will unlock a new feature called Smurf Mode.
When the Smurf Mode is activated, players can switch between all playable characters during a level, meaning that they will be able to collect those coins that cannot be reached while playing the game for the first time.
Furthermore, players will notice that some areas in a level are sealed by blue blocks, that cant be destroyed by any of the Smurfs. The blue blocks vanish after the fifth world (Lava Jungle), if players defeat the Phoenix summoned by Gargamel.
Playable Smurfs
The list below includes all playable Smurfs that can be accessed in Smurfs 2 The Video Game, along with their skills, as they appear in the game.
Papa Smurf – Unlocked Papa Smurf throws potions that can freeze creatures!
Clumsy - Unlocked Clumsy can tumble past danger and free creatures from Gargamels spell!
Grouchy - Unlocked Grouchy stomps the ground hard and can break blocks!
Vanity - Unlocked Vanity freezes in place so all can admire him or use him to get to high places!
Brainy - Beat the giant frog in the Enchanted Forest Brainy uses his calculations to jump higher than other Smurfs!
Gutsy – Beat Azrael in Spooky Woods Gutsy can use his super punch to free creatures or can break almost anything!
Jokey – Beat Hackus and Vexy in New York Jokey throws presents to help creatures shake Gargamels spell!
Hefty - Beat the Polar Bear in Arctic Tundra Hefty throws his barbell to release creatures from Gargamels spell!
Smurfette – Beat Gargamel in Paris Smurfette can float in the air and cross areas of great danger!
Unlockable Smurfs
For collecting all hidden coins, players can unlock 20 Smurfs; however, two additional Smurfs can also be unlocked by completing the game. These characters are Hackus and Vexy.
The remaining characters require 100 hidden coins, meaning that a new Smurf is unlocked as soon as players manage to find 5 coins.
When all 100 hidden coins have been collected, players will notice that the following Smurfs have been added to their villages: Harmony, Panicky, Handy, Greedy, Baker, Reporter, Party Planner, Farmer, Clueless, Passive Aggressive, Lazy, Crazy, Painter, Narrator, Smooth, Tailor, Barber, Doctor, Poet, and Miner.

Pedro Almodovar's latest work, "Volver", has been appointed to represent Spain in vying for one of the five slots in Oscar's best foreign movies category.
It's just a few days ago that Pedro Almodovar's "Volver" was named Best Film of the Year by International Federation of Film Critics and now, the flick again strikes high. The comic drama has delightfully been chosen to represent Spain in competing for a slot in best foreign film category at next year's Oscar, the Spanish Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences announced Thursday, September 28.
Five candidates for the category will be made public by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on January 23, 2007. If the movie can make it through, it will be the second work of Almodovar to be nominated so after his "All About My Mother" which won the title in 2000.
Recently screened at Cannes Film Festival where it won two major awards, "Volver" sees Penelope Cruz as a feisty young woman whose mother comes back from the dead to tie up loose ends. Almodovar also writes the script with Esther Gracia producing.

Carnival Valor - Eastern Caribbean: Carnival Valor Cruise Review by Cru100
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Valor - Eastern Caribbean
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Lounge chairs around the pools were packed so tightly together that there was no way to get in them but to sit on the end and slide up the chair. Are you kidding me?! And there were so many packed into each row that it was impossible to separate them enough to make leg room to get in! Forget it if you think about taking a chair or two out of the rows to make more room theres no where to take them.
Once settled into lounge chairs, service was hit or miss. Sometimes they came, More sometimes they didnt. They were sorely understaffed on the ship, and admitted it. Plates of food and drinks/trash were often left for long periods of time. Most of the staff were friendly, just not enough of them!
Also beware of the extremely slippery flooring in the pool and food areas. We saw a number of people go down during the week young and old. They are obviously having problems they have placed those ridiculous Slippery When Wet bright yellow cones EVERYWHERE throughout - so you are bypassing cones or mops at all times. With all their ships, they dont know what flooring is needed for safety in wet areas?
The cabins are typical size, with very comfortable bedding and pillows. The cabin stewards did a nice job, although we only saw them a couple of times all week.
The gym is very small with low ceilings and you have to literally BEND OVER to see out the windows. About 5 of us in our group went to take a step class one morning and we were crammed into a little area where the steps were way too close for safety and you couldnt really do step. Then another morning a friend was approached while on the treadmill and asked to take a step class with 3 other people because if she didnt, they wouldnt have the class. Class would be cancelled without a minimum of 4 people! She was kind enough to do it, but they should have class if its offered - no matter how many show up. Period.
In the middle of the gym sits a hot tub/Jacuzzi with cool water, and not enough water at that. It was sucking air, but we couldnt find anyone to talk to about it. The rock wall beside it looks like something out of an amusement park - plastic look with tacky green foliage sticking out. The spa feels the same. One woman in our party complained that during her massage there was running/jumping on the level above her. A cabinet in the room shook and all the noise ruined her massage. Again, poor design.
Entertainment/shows were mediocre, although there were a couple of good bands in the lounges.
And finally, the food. The worst Ive ever had, and everyone else felt the same. Breakfast and lunch were just OK, but very long lines. On the second morning, we tried the dining room thinking it would be better quality, but it was actually worse - so we went back to the buffet. There were a few lunch items that were decent hamburgers/fries/pizza, but dinner was flat out bad. You know, you get dressed up every night even formal on two of the nights only to get lousy food. Our head waiter and assistant couldnt have been nicer they were great. We all really enjoyed them, and they did a great job. But if the food is bad, what can they do about it??
The one exception and special treat was dinner at Scarletts an upscale restaurant serving delicious food with exceptional presentation. It is a relaxing dinner with many courses, and service was wonderful all for an up charge of $30.00 per person. How can there be one restaurant on ship that is great, and the rest of the food such poor quality??
Anyway, five moms took our five 18-year-old girls on this cruise to celebrate their high school graduation. Carnival promises to be the fun ship with lots to do. Honestly, there was very little activity for them. Two girls were JUST shy of their 18th birthdays one by just several days of the cruise and the others all 18. They were kicked out of the disco every night, not allowed to stay to just dance. That was so upsetting to them, and the only other option was the video arcade. Come on - this is the FUN ship??
Bottom line: No one in our group would ever do Carnival again guaranteed. I love cruises, and realize things happen and not everything is good all the time, but this was a low-budget cruise all the way around. Less
