"As you open the colossal Wooden doors, water droplets dance with gemstone hues, voices melt into Indian Gods-esque vibes and a seemingly life-like Heruka hovers over a room of fashionistas - am I in Miami, Tokyo or Paris? Then you remember. No, I'm in Brighton UK." - Anonymous Lounger
The perfect haven for après-work, après-university, pre-theatre or late night - The Lounge at OM - with all its transforming elements - takes Brighton's Kemptown Nightlife to new heights. While the upstairs Party room kicks up the vibe with edgy design, and top international dj's, the swanky lower lounge promises a museum-like journey through the Far East, sexy food and an eclectic scene of vibrant professionals, students and fashionistas.

Introduction: Why I created this page
- Until February of 2016, U.N. sanctions against North Korea were strong on paper but poorly enforced, and U.S. sanctions against North Korea were (contrary to the assumptions of many journalists and academics) comparatively weak — weaker than our sanctions against Belarus and Zimbabwe.
- Sanctions against North Korea strengthened considerably in 2016 with the passage in February of the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act, and the U.N. Security Council's approval of Resolution 2270 (both of them are explained in greater detail below). Even so, implementation of the new authorities has been uneven, and has only just begun.
- Here are the Treasury Department's FAQs and overview of North Korea sanctions, as of 2016.
- There is certainly more that could be done to close sanctions loopholes, but the most important priority now is to enforce the U.N. and U.S. sanctions that already exist, through a combination of law enforcement and diplomacy.
- North Korea continues to do most of its business through offshore dollar accounts that flow through the U.S. financial system. These dollars pay North Korea's army and security forces, buy materials and parts for its military and WMD programs, and maintain the luxurious lifestyle of Kim Jong-un and his ruling elite.
- Most of those North Korean accounts are in Chinese banks; others are in Europe. It's often said that China is the key to sanctions enforcement. U.N. reports prove that China has violated sanctions for years — so flagrantly that the violations could only be the result of Chinese government policy. The NKSPEA mandates secondary sanctions on third-country (including Chinese) banks and companies that violate U.N. sanctions and U.S. law. It forces them to choose between access to the U.S. economy and the North Korean economy.
- The U.S. has jurisdiction over dollar transactions between non-U.S. persons and banks. The Justice Department explained this in a recent North Korea-related civil forfeiture complaint. For an explanation of how this works in practice, see this, and focus on the correspondent banks, which are usually in the United States and subject to Treasury Department regulation.
- This isn't a partisan issue. Although the administration has hesitated to fully enforce the NKSPEA, there is strong bi-partisan support for this approach in both houses of Congress. As of October 2016, the Obama administration was under intense pressure to impose secondary sanctions on Chinese banks that launder Kim Jong-un's money.
- For sanctions to work, they need aggressive enforcement, the support of good diplomacy, and time. They should be implemented to target the finances that sustain the regime while minimizing humanitarian effects on the people. They must be part of a broader strategy that has specific and concrete objectives.
U.N. Security Council sanctions resolutions: 1695 | 1718 | 1874 | 2087 | 2094 | 2270 | 2321 Broadly summarized, the resolutions —
- require North Korea to cease all activity related to the development of ballistic missiles, or its nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons programs, and to completely dismantle those programs;
- prohibit the transfer of goods or technology to or from North Korea that are related to, or could contribute to, North Korea's WMD programs;
- prohibit scientific cooperation with, or the provision of training to, North Korean nationals in a broad range of fields that may relate to WMD and military uses;
- prohibit the transfer of weapons to or by North Korea, and the transfer to North Korea of items (trucks, helicopters, vessels) that may have dual-use applications;
- require the inspection of all cargo entering, leaving, or transiting through North Korea, including personal baggage and checked luggage;
- prohibit the transfer of luxury goods to North Korea;
- restrict North Korean shipping and financial transactions to prevent further violations of U.N. sanctions;
- prohibit member states from reflagging, insuring, or crewing North Korean ships, or leasing or chartering ships to North Korea unless approved by a U.N. sanctions committee;
- ban the export by the Government of North Korea of coal, iron, or iron ore, except for "livelihood purposes; define "livelihood" exports of coal as limited to $400 million or 7.5 million metric tons per year, except that payments to entities associated with North Korea's WMD programs are prohibited entirely;
- prohibit the sale or transfer by the Government of North Korea of gold, titanium ore, vanadium ore, rare earth minerals, copper, nickel, silver, and zinc;
- ban the export of statues by North Korea;
- require member states to expel persons involved in violating U.N. sanctions against North Korea and persons working for or on behalf of North Korean financial institutions;
- require member states to freeze any funds or property, including ships, that are controlled by U.N.-designated persons, or that are used to facilitate violations of the sanctions;
- prohibit the transfer of any funds that could contribute to North Korea's WMD programs or to or from any person designated by the U.N. sanctions committee;
- limit North Korean diplomatic and consular facilities and personnel to one bank account each;
- require member states to ban correspondent relationships between their banks and North Korean banks;
- require the closure of all foreign subsidiaries, representative offices, and bank accounts in North Korea;
- prohibit public or private support for trade with North Korea, including guarantees, insurance, and export credits;
- prohibit the transfer to North Korea of rocket, aviation, or jet fuel; and
- "express concern" about Pyongyang's labor exports, "the grave hardship that the people in the DPRK are subjected to," and Pyongyang's pursuit of "nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles instead of the welfare of its people while people in the DPRK have great unmet needs;"
- establish a Panel of Experts to investigate potential violations of, and implementation of, U.N. sanctions. (See U.N. POE reports from 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016.)
U.S. Sanctions Laws
- Iran, North Korea & Syria Nonproliferation Act, Pub. L. No. 106-178, Mar. 14, 2000 (codified at 50 U.S.C. 1701 note). Provides for very limited trade and other sanctions (such as debarment from U.S. government contracts) against persons designated for assisting North Korea's WMD development.
- North Korea Sanctions & Policy Enhancement Act of 2016, Pub. L. No. 114-122, 130 Stat. 93, Feb. 18, 2016 (codified at 22 U.S.C. Ch. 99). This is the only comprehensive, North Korea-specific sanctions law. Key provisions:
- Sec. 102 – mandatory investigations
- Sec. 104 – persons and conduct subject to designation
- Sec. 201 – urging the President to designate North Korea as a jurisdiction of primary money laundering concern, under section 311 of the Patriot Act (On June 1, 2016, the Secretary of the Treasury designated North Korea as a jurisdiction of primary money laundering concern. On November 4, 2016, the Secretary issued a final rule prohibiting financial institutions operating in the United States from providing correspondent account services to North Korean financial institutions, effectively severing North Korea's banks off from the global financial system.)
- Sec. 202 – urging the President to improve diplomatic efforts to implement and enforce U.N. sanctions
- Sec. 204 – denying government contracts to companies designated under section 104
- Sec. 205 – providing for more intrusive inspections of cargo coming from ports that fail to inspect cargo to and from North Korea, as required by U.N. Security Council resolutions
- Sec. 206 – denying entry to the United States by persons designated under section 104, and shareholders of companies designated under section 104
- Sec. 208 – humanitarian and other exemptions and waivers
- Secs. 209 & 210 – cybersecurity reporting and sanctions provisions
- Sec. 301 – requiring the President to submit a plan to provide "unrestricted, unmonitored, and inexpensive electronic mass communications … to the people of North Korea"
- Sec. 302 – Strategy to promote North Korean human rights.
- Sec. 303 – report on North Korean prison camps.
- Sec. 304 – report on, and sanctions for, serious human rights abuses or censorship
- Sec. 401 & 402 – conditions for suspending and terminating sanctions, respectively
U.S. Sanctions Executive Orders: Generally —
- These executive orders are promulgated under the authority of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1705 et seq., violations of which are punishable under sec. 206, by 20 years in prison, a $1 million fine, and a $200,000 civil penalty).
- Sanctions executive orders are enforced by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC.
- Designation under one of these EOs blocks the property of the person designated. Generally, this affects dollar-denominated transactions and accounts, which rely on correspondent banking through U.S. financial institutions to transfer funds from a buyer to a seller.
- Persons designated under these executive orders are added to the Treasury Department's List of Specially Designated Nationals, or SDN List. This index tells you which E.O. was used to designate a target on the SDN List.
- Although the EOs may appear to have broad, sweeping language, only the specific persons designated and added to the SDN List are blocked.
- Banks are required to block SDN-listed persons and implement Know-Your-Customer compliance programs to prevent blocked persons from circumventing sanctions or laundering money. Nearly all governments have KYC laws.
- The Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FINCEN, works with the banking industry to oversee and enforce anti-money laundering (AML) guidelines and procedures.
- Banks that fail to put sufficient compliance programs into effect may face criminal penalties running into the billions of dollars in egregious cases, civil penalties under other Title 31 provisions, and the complete suspension of their access to the dollar-based financial system under section 311 of the Patriot Act.
The executive orders that apply or could potentially apply to North Korea include —
- 13224 (2001) – for persons designating for engaging in, or providing material support for, terrorism. No North Korean persons are designated under this EO. I have published evidence of the North Korean government's recent and repeated sponsorship of acts of terrorism.
- 13382 (2005) – for persons involved in or supporting WMD development and proliferation. Roughly 60 North Korean targets are designated under this EO.
- 13466 (2008) – a placeholder, maintaining the block on assets previously blocked, signed by President Bush when he lifted Trading With the Enemy sanctions against North Korea after the 2007 agreed framework
- 13551 (2010) – North Korea-specific sanctions for proliferation, arms dealing, and money laundering.
- 13581 (2011) – Transnational criminal organizations. No North Korean targets are designated under this EO.
- 13570 (2011) – Requiring an OFAC license to import goods or services from North Korea, directly or indirectly.
- 13687 (2015) – Blocking persons designated as officials of the North Korean government or ruling party, or for assisting or supporting them. Potentially broad, but little-used in practice.
- 13694 (2015) – Cyber sanctions. No North Korean persons are designated under this EO.
- 13722 (2016) – North Korea-specific sanctions for persons designated as involved in or facilitating human rights abuses, censorship, arms dealing, WMD proliferation, labor exports, cyberattacks, or certain mineral exports. Bans new investment in North Korea and authorizes sectoral sanctions against North Korea's mining, energy, transportation, and banking industries. Partially implements the NKSPEA, and expands on it in certain respects.
U.S. sanctions regulations & general licenses
- 31 C.F.R. Part 510 – OFAC regulations synthesize, codify, and implement sanctions programs against a specific target or category of targets. As of October 2016, these relatively weak regulations were overdue to be updated, to reflect the enactment of the NKSPEA and the promulgation of Executive Order 13722.
- General licenses create exemptions to the sanctions regulations for certain humanitarian, cultural, and other purposes.
Other significant U.S. statutes
- Title 12 – Trading With the Enemy Act (TWEA sanctions against North Korea were lifted in 2008)
- Title 18 – Criminal Code
- 18 U.S.C. 981 – civil forfeiture
- 18 U.S.C. 982 – criminal forfeiture
- 18 U.S.C. 1030 – computer fraud and abuse
- 18 U.S.C. 1956 – money laundering
- 18 U.S.C. 1957 – transactions in criminally derived property
- 18 U.S.C. Chapter 113B – definition of international terrorism, prohibitions on financing of and material support for terrorism
- Title 19 – Customs
- 19 U.S.C. 1304 – country of origin labels
- 19 U.S.C. 1307 – ban on importing convict or slave-made goods
- Title 22 – Foreign Relations
- Title 31, Chapter 53 – Monetary Transactions – includes the Bank Secrecy Act, transaction reporting requirements, the prohibition on bulk cash smuggling, the prohibition on unlicensed money transmitting businesses, and section 311 of the Patriot Act.
- Title 50 – War & National Defense

A bust by G.I. Joe lead them to clues of Cobra's latest scheme. The trail leads them to the country of Sierra Gordo where Snake-Eyes finds himself in a not-so cheery reunion.
Detailed summary
A car chase erupts through the streets of San Francisco. The Joes are going after a Naja Hanna Video Corp. van filled with Cobra agents. When they managed to disable the vehicle, one of the Cobras, a scar-faced Cobra Officer, managed to make a run for it and escape. The Joes survey the van and Breaker find out the Cobras had in their possession what looked to be like video game circuit cards.The boxes in the van are all marked for shipping to Sierra Gordo. Stalker and Breaker head to the office of the Naja Hanna in that country while Snake-Eyes and Gung-Ho observe from the woods and serve as back up. Snake-Eyes recognizes the man that Stalker and Breaker are talking to is Dr. Venom, the evil scientist who tried to extract information from him back in Springfield. He jumps and heads to the Naja Hanna office. Gung-Ho follows only to bump into the scarred Cobra from back in San Francisco. Gung-Ho would have gone after him but Snake-Eyes stops him for the more immediate concern. Dr. Venom is actually aware of the ruse and quickly orders Cobra guards to kill the Joes. Snake-Eyes and Gung-Ho arrive in time to keep their comrades from an untimely death. However, Kwinn, the Eskimo mercenary, enters the fray and had the Joes disarmed except for Snake-Eyes. After being assured by Kwinn nobody will die, he drops his uzi which actually has no more ammunition. The Joes are taken to the river dock. Dr. Venom remembers the humiliation he suffered back in Springfield and starts to savagely beat Snake-Eyes. He is only stopped by Kwinn who is furious as he gave his word no one will die. A Cobra Trooper checks in on Snake-Eyes and declares the man has no pulse and is dead. They leave him at the office and let the building burn. Dr. Venom watches the building burn and thinks it reminds him of something from an Asian temple and a ninja. He suddenly realizes that Snake-Eyes is actually still alive.
The fire catches the attention of the villagers and witnesses Snake-Eyes on fire make it out of the building but at the same time see the man's terribly scarred face. He is last seen jumping into the river.
On the Cobras' boat, Kwinn and Dr. Venom continue to argue. It is there that is revealed what Kwinn's role in the entire operation is. He is to ensure the delivery of the computer chips to Cobra and once that is done with, he will end his association with them. While the two continue to argue, Breaker uses his chewing gum to coat his bonds to get the rats on board to start chewing them.The boat reaches an island in the middle of the river where a bunker and the Baroness awaits them. Venom and Kwinn join her in the bunker to complete the transaction. The Joes make it out of their bonds and take the upper hand against their captors. Snake-Eyes arrives and tells the Joes to head back to headquarters with the computer chips. Rather than joining his teammates, he elects himself to neutralize the threat.
Inside the bunker, the scarred Cobra Officer is assigned as the courier for a virus that Dr. Venom has developed and the serum that will mutate it further. Kwinn's hunter skills made him realize that Snake-Eyes is alive and outside the bunker. The Baroness and the Officer escape on the sea-plane. She unleashes a bomb that blew up the boat but the Joes are lucky to jump off in time. The sea-plane flies around is headed towards the island where it fires another bomb. The island blows up with Snake-Eyes, Kwinn and Venom still on it.
The Joes realize what happened and they swear revenge on the Baroness.

Memorable quotes
- --Stalker doesn't like rats.
Other notes
- When Snake-Eyes' Uzi runs dry, his hand is colored pink in the close-up.
- When Snake-Eyes emerges from the river, his hair is colored black, rather than the blonde it would later be revealed to be.
- On page 12, it seriously strains believability that Dr Venom would fall for the same trick he just finished insulting Snake-Eyes over on the same page. Even if he does catch himself a page later.
- On page 9, Gung-Ho realizes the Cobra agent he encounters there is Scarface, yet he is surprised by this on page 17.
Items of note
- First Appearances: Scar-Face, Sierra Gordo
- This issue was reprinted in G.I. Joe Digest #5, Tales of G.I. Joe #12 and the G.I. Joe vol. 2 trade paperback.
- Mike Vosburg is credited as "Mike Vosberg".
- This story begins a multi-issue story arc that lasts until issue #19.
- This issue is a game-changer, marking an abrupt switch from self-contained, mostly single-issue stories to lengthy arcs with detailed continuity. (By bringing back Kwinn and Dr Venom, it could even be said to retroactively apply this mentality to some of the previous issues.) The latter storytelling style will dominate the book for the rest of its run.
Real-world references
- The car that explodes in the beginning is a Pinto, a car notorious for being unsafe in rear collisions.
- Wendy O. Williams was the lead singer for punk band the Plasmatics.
- Washington, D.C. is famous for its cherry blossoms in spring.
- Breaker refers to "Sgt. Granite of Difficult Company," a roundabout reference to famed war comic Sgt. Rock, published by Marvel's competitor, DC Comics, and the title character's unit, Easy Company.

Description: Intimacy between blacks and whites in the United States is a crucial point of inquiry because this color line has historically been the most rigorously surveilled and restricted. Because of this history, social scientists use interracial intimacy as a barometer of the social distance between racial groups, and view growing numbers of interracial couples as evidence of racial progress. But are interracial couples really able to carve out a 'raceless' intimate sphere? Or are interracial relationships microcosms of broader-level racial hierarchies?In this book, Amy Steinbugler challenges the widespread assumption that interracial intimacy represents the ultimate erasure of racial differences. She finds that while interracial partners may be more racially progressive, they are not necessarily enlightened subjects who have managed to get beyond race. Instead, for many partners interracial intimacy represents not the end, but the beginning of a sustained process of negotiating racial differences. Using qualitative interviews and ethnographic case studies with both heterosexual and same-sex black/white couples, Steinbugler explores the social practices through which interracial partners respond to and negotiate racial difference in their relationship, what she calls "racework." Even though these processes unfolded in very similar ways for every interracial partner she interviewed, racial identities and attitudes remained generally stable and issues of power and privilege crept into even the most ordinary situations. Intimacy, Steinbugler finds, does not necessarily erode racial differences. In addition, the interviews with same-sex interracial couples--a topic on which there is very little research--allow Steinbulger to examine for the first time how everyday racial practices are shaped by sexuality and gender.Our racial present is a complex mix of enduring inequalities and new cultural messages.Beyond Lovingadeptly examines how interracial couples experience race in their everyday lives and how they engage one another to address fundamental questions about the significance of race in contemporary life.

The last time I wrote about Ancestry.com (NASDAQ:ACOM) was after its third quarter 2011 release (see here). Ancestry.com released its first quarter 2012 earnings results on Wednesday April 25th. The company beat on top and bottom line vs. analyst expectations. I wanted to dig a bit deeper into the numbers to see how the company's growth is compared to the past. First, let's have a look at sequential revenue growth from 12 quarters back. Keep in mind, I am looking at revenue growth from quarter to quarter.
2010 Sequential Revenue Growth:
7.2% 15.6% 6.5% 4.3% = 33.8%
2011 Sequential Revenue Growth:
10.0% 11.3% 1.8% 1.1% = 32.8%
2012 Sequential Revenue Growth:
4.1% 6.9% est. 2.6% est. 2.1% est. = 16.3%
As shown above, ACOM is expecting a slowing of sequential revenue growth after the 2nd quarter release. This should be viewed as seasonality, as the first and second quarter are the strongest quarters of the year. But what stands out is the year/year growth drop off from 2010 and 2011 into 2012 of 16.3%. Based on these numbers, it is understandable why ACOM announced, on April 25th, that it has purchased Archives.com for 100 million dollars to potentially increase growth.
I have a forward 2013 P/E ratio of 13.02 and a PEG (price earnings growth) of .62. Both represent excellent value. I have a price target based on PEG alone of $37.00 per share.
The stock has good support in the $21 to $22 dollar range. So I would be patient and wait for that area prior to starting a position.
Below is a weekly chart of ACOM (click to enlarge image):
Bottom Line: ACOM has done a very good job of maintaining a stable stock price despite declining revenue forecasts. They have initiated a 100 million potential stock buyback, plan on releasing new products, and has purchased Archive.com for 100 million. The stock has strong support in the $21-22 dollar price range. I plan on remaining on the sidelines for now and will wait until the stock comes to a lower risk buy point in the low twenties until considering a buy. Thank you for reading.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

A woman has been arrested after the body of an elderly woman was found in a unit on Sydney's northern beaches overnight.
A neighbour called police after hearing yelling coming from the unit block on Foam Street, Freshwater, about 8pm on Sunday.
Police and paramedics arrived and found the body of an 81-year-old woman.
A short time later, officers arrested a 49-year-old woman at the scene. She was taken to Manly police station, where she was being questioned.
No charges had been laid early on Monday morning, a NSW Police spokeswoman said.
Both women are believed to have been residents at the block.
A neighbour, Graham Marr, told Channel Nine that the older woman had lived in the block for about 30 years, and was well known by the residents.
"She was a typically lovely neighbour," Mr Marr said.
"Every time you used to go in and out of the units, she would be the sort of person that would pop out and say, 'Good morning, love.'
"Lovely Scottish accent. One of those neighbours that you really trusted to leave anything with."
Detectives have set up a crime scene and specialist investigators from the Homicide Squad remained at the scene on Monday morning.

WMUR/UNH's most recent poll shows Marilinda Garcia four points ahead of Ann Kuster in New Hampshire's Second Congressional District.
This, and all polls, should be taken with a grain of salt. Polls go up and down. But, these numbers do reinforce what our team has already seen in our internal numbers and felt in our respective guts while with Mari on the campaign trail: this race is Marilinda's to win.
Marilinda's race has been a remarkable one—anything but ordinary. In April, the common belief—both in New Hampshire and Washington—was that Marilinda was not ready for primetime, and would lose the primary election. "She's a smart girl and will be a great candidate next time around" was the common refrain. New Hampshire Democrats openly mocked her age, looks, and even her shoes (I assure you, she has perfectly normal shoes).
We bit our tongues and looked forward to the moment when these same folks would realize that they had severely underestimated this highly intelligent and accomplished young woman. Luckily for us, this happened sooner rather than later, and Marilinda won her primary overwhelmingly against two formidable and talented Republican opponents.
Now, 25 days removed from November 4, Marilinda has a very real shot at upsetting incumbent Ann Kuster and heading to Washington, D.C. to represent New Hampshire's 2nd District. Even Kuster's own campaign manager yesterday sent an alarmed email to Kuster's supporters saying that the incumbent's lead has been "erased" and that the race is now "a pure toss up and a statistical dead heat."
This too, is remarkable—but for reasons you may not be aware of. We crunched the numbers today, and it appears that Marilinda is being outspent on television by a ratio of 4 to 1. In fact, since the beginning of October, she is being outspent on television by a ratio of no less than 10 to 1!
A gap of this magnitude typically spells doom for whichever candidate is being so vastly outspent in a competitive seat, but it seems as if the more money that Kuster and her allies spend attempting to demonize Marilinda, the better Marilinda does. And boy, have they been relentless!
You see, Ann Kuster and Nancy Pelosi's Far Left wing of the Democratic Party sees Marilinda as an existential threat. They know that a young, female, Hispanic with an independent voice joining the ranks of Congress and advocating for New Hampshire's values on a national level will undermine their entire playbook. It will become more difficult for them to effectively divide the American people, and paint Republicans as hopeless, old fashioned, sexist…racists.
New Hampshire voters are too smart for these tricks. They seem to be rejecting "Single Issue Annie's" desperate attempt to fool them into thinking that Marilinda is waging some kind of a "War on Women."
Today, from where I sit in Concord, it seems that another upset is brewing in New Hampshire's Second District. For years we have heard that voters are tired of politics-as-usual and that they've seen enough negative, misleading, smear-ads meant to scare voters when they should be educating them. Maybe now in 2014, New Hampshire will be first in the nation to say "No—we will not tolerate this any longer. We are tired of politics as usual! We are ready to try something new."
Let's not kid ourselves. A relentless, well-funded campaign like Ann Kuster's against Marilinda will take its toll. While we do not need to outspend Ann Kuster and her allies, we do have to close the gap substantially. And we will.
As our own TV ads ramp up in coming weeks, we will need your help to make sure as many Granite Staters see them as possible. I hope you will consider contributing to the cause of ensuring "opportunity for all" the people of New Hampshire and America. Each of you has something different to offer. Only you know what it is. Marilinda needs you.

Via @HumanRights1st : Immigrants in New York are in Dire Need of Increased Pro Bono Representation
Written by Lori Adams, Managing Attorney, Refugee Protection Program for the Human Rights First blog.
This week, a report published in the Cardozo Law Review will highlight the crisis in legal representation for immigrants in New York. As noted in yesterday's New York Times article "In a Study, Judges Express a Bleak View of Lawyers Representing Immigrants," the report will show that the outcome of an immigration case depends heavily on whether the immigrant has legal representation and whether the immigrant is detained. The report will also show that the quality of legal representation makes an enormous difference in these cases.
Immigration judges who responded to a recent survey as part of this study said that of the lawyers appearing before them, many are poorly prepared, fail to present key evidence, or do not show up at all. Accordingly, immigrants with cases pending in their courtrooms receive "inadequate" legal assistance in 33 percent of cases, and "grossly inadequate" legal assistance in 14 percent of cases. However, it was noted that pro bono counsel, representatives from nonprofit organizations, and law school clinics provide a much higher caliber of legal representation.
The Study Group on Immigrant Representation, led by the Honorable Robert A. Katzmann of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, conducted the research that formed the basis for this report. The group has helped to shine a light on the inadequacy of legal counsel for immigrants in New York and the need for increased pro bono and other legal representation for those who cannot afford to pay for counsel.
With the encouragement of the Katzmann Study Group and generous funding from the Leon Levy Foundation, Human Rights First created a two-year fellowship earlier this year to increase our capacity to provide pro bono legal representation for asylum-seekers in New York City. This will allow us to build on our existing model of providing free high-quality legal representation to asylum-seekers with the dedicated support of pro bono attorneys at their law firms in New York, New Jersey, and the Washington DC areas. Human Rights First is proud to have played such an active role in the Study Group over the years and is grateful for the fellowship, which will make it possible to increase high-quality legal representation of asylum-seekers in our immigration courts. We also applaud Mayor Bloomberg's recent announcement about the creation of new attorney positions in New York City to provide increased representation of immigrants in our area.
However, we also recognize that there are significant gaps in access to legal counsel for indigent asylum-seekers and other immigrants – not only in New York, but throughout the country, especially for those held in immigration detention. While not a substitute for legal representation, the Legal Orientation Program (LOP) offers basic information to those held in immigration detention, providing them with a better understanding of their legal options and increasing their likelihood of obtaining pro bono counsel. The LOP has received widespread praise for promoting efficiency in immigration court proceedings and judges have lauded the program for better preparing immigrants to identify forms of relief for which they might be eligible. Nevertheless, it is only available to small percentage of immigrants in detention. President Obama's fiscal year 2012 budget request sought to expand this successful program but Congress has not provided appropriations accordingly. Human Rights First recommends LOP be expanded to all detention centers nationwide.
Judge Katzmann was right to describe the state of immigration representation in our country as a "dire crisis," and the time has come to address it. The Leon Levy Fellowship and the accompanying project to increase pro bono representation of asylum-seekers in New York will be a model worth replicating in other parts of the country. This will require additional support for the understaffed legal service providers who have the expertise to mentor pro bono attorneys and will also require an increased commitment on the part of the private bar to volunteer in immigration cases.
The U.S. government must also increase support for the LOP, and should allow for court-appointed counsel while also supporting high-quality representation by legal service providers and pro bono counsel. According to the Study Group's report, "the two greatest impediments to increasing the capacity of existing providers are a lack of funding and a lack of resources to build a qualified core of experienced removal-defense providers." It's time to address these problems and increase both the quality and the availability of pro bono counsel for immigrants in this country.
R. P. permalinkDecember 20, 2011 11:24 am
They asked the Immigration Judges to evaluate the quality of the lawyers that appear before them? Isn't that like the blind leading the blind? Many of the Immigration Judge's don't even apply the immigration case law in their decisions much less apply it correctly. Perhaps the individuals who conducted this study should have taken a different approach.

While I was away, this blog turned ONE!! Yayyyy!!! This is a call for celebration, isn't it? So here I am with one of my most favourite recipe of a gluten-free Spanish cake. Continue reading GLUTEN FREE Orange & Almond cake
Wholewheat Focaccia with garlic, rosemary and cherry tomatoes
Healthy wholewheat cream scones with unrefined cane sugar
Scones are like a cross between an eggless cake and a pie crust. They are more like a cake with a biscuit like outer layer and a soft centre. They are mildly sweet and can be savoury too.
Scones, extremely popular in Scotland and Ireland, are usually eaten during breakfast with some jam and clotted cream. However, they are a popular choice at tea time too. They are served while they are still warm but you can store them and reheat just before serving.
These cream scones are made with flour, unrefined sugar and cream. Cream makes the scones very light and delicious. There's no need to add butter in here.
As I make them quite often for kids, I take care of the ingredients I use. I prefer wholemeal flour over plain flour and add unrefined cane sugar and honey for the sweetness.
Let's see how to make these cream scones.
How to make Cream scones
Preparation time: 10 minutes + 1 hour – 2 hours resting time
Baking time: 20-22 minutes
Baking equipment used: baking tray(s), baking tin/ovenproof dish
Makes 10-20 pieces depending on the size
Recipe :
- 300 grams or 2 cups plain flour
- 75 grams or ½ cup raisins
- 3-4 tablespoons unrefined cane sugar
- a pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda or soda bicarb
- lemon zest of 2 big lemons approx 2 teaspoon
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 300 ml double cream or heavy cream
- 3-4 tablespoon milk
- Take flour, raisins, salt, baking powder, baking soda and lemon zest in a big mixing bowl.
- Whisk everything together.
- Make a well in the centre and pour honey and cream.
- Gradually stir everything together using a spatula or spoon.
- Add a tablespoon milk at a time to gather all dry ingredients together. Quantity of the milk will depend on the type of flour used.
- Gather everything together using your hand. Gently mix everything to make a soft dough. DO NOT knead much.
- Line a cake pan or a baking dish with cling film.
- Take out the dough on the baking dish/tin and gently press with your hands to cover the whole area. Make sure you cover all spaces.
- Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest in the fridge for 1-2 hours. I leave mine for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 200 C/180 C fan-assisted/400 F/gas 6.
- Take out the scones by lifting the cling film. Cut it into desired shape using a sharp knife. If you have rest the dough in a cake tin then cut wedges out of it. If you have used a baking dish (rectangular or sqaure) then you can cut similar shape out of it.
- Place the scones on the baking tray, 2 inches apart.
- Bake them for 18-20 minutes or until they are lightly browned.
- Place a clean kitchen towel on the wire rack. Take out the baked scones and transfer them on the towel. Loosely wrap the kitchen towel around them to keep them warm until served. Alternatively, you can cool them down and store in an airtight container. Warm them again for 3-4 minutes while serving.
You can use plain flour too or half plain flour and half wholemeal. However they taste great with wholemeal flour too.
You can cut them into circles too but be careful not to work too much with rest of the dough that is left after cutting the circles. Gather them with light hands and reshape.
You van serve them with any jam and some more cream.
Here, I have melted some milk chocolate and drizzled over them. You can use dark chocolate too.
See how they look when cut into wedges :

Basics of baking Cookies with troubleshooting and FAQs
Well, if you are not in US, then there's not much difference. Cookies are a type of biscuit but in US, biscuit is a very different bake than cookies.
To understand we can say, biscuit is a flat, brittle cake. It's primary ingredients are flour, sugar and fat, and it can be crisp, crumbly or chewy. It may contain flavours, nuts or chocolates but not so much to affect its shape. A cookie is a type of biscuit that's chewy mostly (though I like to make crispy cookies and not chewy).
The ideal biscuit can be of any shape but if cut as round it should all be uniformly round. If cut as square, they should all be square. They should not spread excessively in the oven while baking. On the other hand cookies do spread while baking to achieve the chewiness.
This is more like you ask the difference between Prawn and shrimp, aubergine or eggplant, zucchini or courgette, the list goes on…
Though there's a slight difference between the two everywhere, in US biscuit is a complete different bake. A biscuit in UK, is a small baked goods that can be called 'cookies' if sweet or 'crackers' if salty. However, in US, a biscuit is a savoury bread which is somewhat similar to Scottish/Irish scones.
Am I confusing you?? Well as far as you enjoy your biscuits and cookies the way you like, and you are not in America, there's not much difference 😉
There's a lot more to discuss about biscuits and cookies but I will focus on the basics of baking cookies here.
STEPWISE INSTRUCTION WITH EXPLANATION for making cookies/biscuits
- The first step is usually preheating the oven in most of the cases. We need our oven to be set at required temperature so that as soon as our bake is in, it gets the right temperature to bake. Sometimes dough has to rest for a while before baking. In that case preheat the oven 10-15 minutes before the resting time gets over.
- Line a large baking tray with baking paper or baking parchment. This is done to avoid the sticking of biscuit/cookies to the tray. When we make biscuit or cookies, there's minimal gluten formation (a gluten is a type of protein that gets formed after kneading the dough as in case of bread) that leads the starch to stick to anything. To avoid this disaster, lining a cookie sheet is important. However, in case of silicon mat you don't need any parchment paper.
- Squashing the butter and mixing with sugar. Weigh the butter and sugar in a bowl and mix them together until they are combined and smooth. The mixture shouldn't be light and fluffy like we do for cakes. This step is not like 'creaming' in cake making. We just have to combine the ingredients so that sugar dissolves in butter. We don't have to beat in loads of air that will lead to crack or spongy biscuits.
- Just combining the other ingredients. Add the flour and other flavouring agent and mix with a spoon. Then try to combine everything together with light hands. Be gentle as much as possible. Do not put pressure or knead the dough. Kneading is required in bread making not here. Try to work on biscuit or cookie dough as little as possible. At this stage you can keep your dough refrigerated for 2-3 days to improve the texture and develop the flavour though it's not mandatory.
- Shape your biscuit/cookies as desired. Biscuits are usually cut with cookie cutters. Flatten the dough by rolling out and then cut into desired shape. Do not forget to sprinkle little flour on the surface before rolling to avoid the sticking. If making cookies, you can shape them with your hands too. This is the point where we can see the difference between the biscuit and cookies. Biscuits are usually rolled and cut as they don't usually spread while baking because of minimal gluten formation and no addition of raising agents (baking soda). Yes, there's no need to add raising agent to a biscuit dough. However, you may add a little raising agent in cookie dough as we like cookies to spread (most of the time).
- Chill. If making biscuits, chill them now for atleast 15-20 minutes. It will firm up the biscuits and hence the shape will be retained while baking. This step can be skipped while cookie making. Though you can follow this step if you don't want your cookies to spread much.
- Bake. This is the most essential part of biscuits/cookies making. The texture depends a lot on the oven temperature and for how long you have baked. For a shortbread style biscuits, where you want a pale colour but crisp bake, you need to bake on lower temperature like 160 degrees C. Baking time depends on the thickness of biscuit too. If a biscuit is thick then it may need longer time to bake. For a snappy or chewy biscuits/cookies, bake at higher temperature. High temperature dries out the outer surface quickly making them caramelised and giving that chew texture. However, you need to be very careful while baking at high temperature as it won't take long to make them bitter.
- Always leave to cool on the tray or cooling rack. They have to reach to room temperature before storing otherwise the steam can lead to the condensation and they can become soft.

Special Tips :
- The type of flour and sugar used in the cookie will have a great effect on final product. So always select the fresh and finer ingredients.
- Cookie dough with higher amount of sugar and butter spreads more resulting in thinner and crunchier cookies.
- The finer the sugar texture, the finer will be cookies texture. If you use powdered sugar or sugar with very light texture, then the cookies will have more smooth texture.
Troubleshooting :
The cookie dough cracks when rolling it.
Solution : Try covering the dough with cling film and gathering everything together. If it doesn't work then sprinkle a little milk just to combine them together. If the dough seems too cold then you can leave it on room temperature until softened.
Why is shortbread hard and snappy?
Solution : The most common reason for this is baking for too long at too high temperature.Turn down your oven temperature a bit for better result next time. Also, remember not to work too much on dough.
Why my cookies are soft and pale?
Solution : The answer is they are under baked. They are not baked for enough time and still contain moisture that makes them soft after cooling down. If they look dark but soft then turn down your oven temperature and bake for longer time. Check your baking tray isn't be too thick. This can also lead to soft bottom. If you have not cooled down them properly before storing then it can become soft too. In such cases, bake them again at 150 C for 5-10 minutes.
Why my cookies go flat and spread out too much?
Solution : There are a couple of reasons. If you over cream butter and sugar then they will spread out. If there's too much butter in the recipe then also cookies spread out and go flat. Too much sugar also helps in spreading. Make sure you read the recipe correctly and use proper amount. Also chill your dough before baking. Make sure you don't place your cookie on hot or warm baking trays.
Why my cookies are not chewy?
Solution : Less butter, less sugar, less temperature. Add a little more butter or sugar next time. Check the correct temperature. Higher fat higher temperature yields chewy cookies.
The cookies brown too much at the bottom.
Solution. Bake them at higher rack. It usually happens when heating element of the oven is at the bottom. If you use foil paper instead of baking parchment then also cookies brown quickly at the bottom. Use double baking paper in such cases. Also lower the oven temperature a bit.
At what rack should I bake my cookies?
Solution : Cookies are baked mostly on the middle rack of the oven.
The cookies are hard after cooling down.
Solution : Cookies are over baked. Take out the cookies out of the oven according to specified time in the recipe. The cookie may look soft when they are done but it will firm up after cooling down.
Why are my biscuits or cookies tough?
Solution : First reason could be improper measurement and addition of extra flour. It can also be due to over working of the dough. Next time remember to follow the recipe to the T and handle the dough with TLC.
FAQs :
What is the difference between shortbread and cookies?
Answer : shortbread are types of biscuit that's made with 1 part sugar, 2 part butter and 3 part flour. No raising agents or eggs are used. While in cookies eggs and raising agents can be used. Shortbread is baked at lower temperature to avoid browning while cookies are baked on higher temperature and can be darker compared to shortbread. shortbread are buttery and crumbly while cookies can be chewy.
What is the difference between butter cookies and Shortbread?
Answer : The main difference is in the amount of sugar used in both the recipes. Butter cookies are sweeter than the shortbread. A shortbread is a very basic type of biscuit that uses fixed ratio of butter:sugar:flour. However, butter cookies uses more sugar and sometimes eggs too in the recipe. Shortbread will never have egg in it. Butter is the dominant flavour in shortbread while in butter cookies sweetness takes the after taste.
Difference between baking powder and baking soda
Answer : They both are leavening agent/raising agent but chemically different.

Baking powder

This is what I tell everyone. Have you EVER seen Antropov make a really stupid move with the puck? Or be out of place defensively? "No...." they mumble. But he's not the first man on the forecheck, so he's useless.
I guess that's what you get when talking to people who believe "hard work" (don't be fooled, what people think hard work is and what it actually is are different) is the only virtue required of a player.

Blair, Bush condemn Istanbul blasts
British Prime Minister Tony Blair says there can be "no holding back" in the fight against the "evil" of global terrorism, at a joint press conference in London with US President George W Bush.
Speaking with Mr Bush after twin suicide attacks struck at the British consulate and a British bank in Istanbul, Mr Blair said the bombings underscored the need to stay the course in Iraq as part of a global campaign against "terrorists".
He said the attacks, which claimed at least 25 lives and wounded over 300 people, demonstrated "the evil these terrorists pose to innocent people everywhere".
"In the face of this terrorism there must be no holding back, no compromise, no hesitation in confronting this menace, in attacking it wherever and whenever we can and in defeating it utterly," he said.
Mr Blair prepared Britons for the death toll, saying "some (of the casualties) will be British, and many will be Turkish citizens".
The British consul general in Istanbul is missing and feared killed in the attack, according to diplomatic sources.
Mr Blair, who has been President Bush's staunchest ally in the war against Saddam Hussein's regime, said the Istanbul blasts would not lessen Britain's commitment to Iraq.
"On the contrary, it shows how important it is to carry on until terrorism is defeated there as well," he said.
"Because it is in a free, democratic and stable Iraq (that) the wretched and backward philosophy of these terrorists will be destroyed."
He said the "fanatics of terror" who had carried out the Istanbul attacks had shown themselves to be "callous brutal murders of the innocent".
Fielding questions from reporters, Mr Blair rejected any suggestion that Britain and the United States had brought the attacks on themselves.
"America did not attack Al Qaeda on September 11," he said, referring to the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
"Al Qaeda attacked America - and in doing so, attacked not just America but the way of life of all people who believe in tolerance and freedom, justice and peace," he said.
Mr Blair said an "absolute unity of purpose" was needed to defeat terrorism, adding: "We must stand side by side with the United States of America to rid our world of this evil once and for all."
"Let me make it absolutely clear for our position as well: we stay (in Iraq) until the job gets done," he said.
"What this latest terrorist outrage shows us is that this is a war, its main battleground is Iraq," he said.
"I can assure you of one thing: that when something like this happens today, our response is not to flinch or give way or concede one inch. We stand absolutely firm until this job is done, done in Iraq, done elsewhere in the world."
US President George W Bush also condemned the Istanbul suicide bomb attacks, saying that it showed once again that terrorists "hate freedom".
"They hate freedom. They hate free nations... Cruelty is part of their strategy," a grim Mr Bush said at a Downing Street press conference alongside British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
He said the aim of the perpetrators was to "intimidate and demoralise" democratic nations, but added: "They are not going to succeed".

Half of human beings are women, but far fewer than half of protagonists in top-grossing films are female. However! A thought that has occurred to some Hollywood geniuses is, Women: Maybe we should put them in our films? And sometimes those films do well at the box office, if not better!
However, one funny *effect* is that, often, filmmakers and screenwriters will feature a woman in their movie but then have everything in her life almost exclusively revolve around men. In 2016, we've seen women who were driven to a bizarre degree by weird relationships with their boyfriends, their dads, a male deity, or — for one sad mom — her superhero son and his awful friends. It sometimes seems as if the imagination is only big enough to accommodate one central female character, and anything more (say, a relationship with her mom or a friendly female teapot) would be distracting, even unbelievable.
Without further ado, here are eight female characters from major motion pictures and the male characters who had an outsize impact on their behaviors and fates! (Major spoilers for movies and the logic of patriarchy.)
2. 1. Aurora, Passengers
View this image ›
Columbia Pictures
Release date: Dec. 21, 2016
Men who shape her fate: Her dad, her kidnapper-boyfriend
How they mess with her: Aurora's dad, who died when she was a teenager, was a writer, a war correspondent, a bold and sometimes reckless man of the world. Aurora, played by Jennifer Lawrence, spends her whole life trying to live up to his legacy, which is why she ends up on a spaceship headed to a space colony. It's on the spaceship that another man, Jim (Chris Pratt), sees her in hibernation and decides he wants to wake her up so they can have sex. Jim ruins everything Aurora had planned for her life, but she is ultimately okay with it.
3. 2. Jyn, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
View this image ›
Lucasfilm Ltd
Release date: Dec. 16, 2016
Men who shape her fate: Her dad, her adoptive dad
How they mess with her: Jyn (Felicity Jones) has a dad who has been building an incredibly dangerous weapon for the Galactic Empire, which — as we all know — is basically pure evil. Because of his work, he was abducted, Jyn's mom Lyra was murdered, and little Jyn was raised by a bonus father figure, with whom she also has issues! Jyn spends much of her energy and time confronting her complex relationship with each dad: First she gets into a big argument with her stand-in father, who raised her but then abandoned her when she was still a youth; then she tries to reunite with her biological father all the while trying to convince a bunch of people that he's not pure evil. Eventually, she dies — because she's developed principles, but also to finish what her father started.
4. 3. Carol, Office Christmas Party
View this image ›
Glen Wilson / Paramount Pictures
Release date: Dec. 9, 2016
Men who shape her fate: Her dad, her brother
How they mess with her: Carol (Jennifer Aniston) is a hardworking, competent executive who works at her late father's firm, but he always gave more attention to her brother, even though she's extremely smart and accomplished. As a result, Carol is a textbook resentful bitch. For some reason, her incompetent brother and his enabling co-worker are the heroes of this movie, and she's the antagonist for most of it. So the thing that makes her the antagonist is that she's good at her job? What will filmmakers think of next!
5. 4. Moana, Moana
View this image ›
Release date: Nov. 23, 2016
Men who shape her fate: Her dad, a demigod
How they mess with her: Moana (Auli'i Cravalho) wants to sail the open sea, but her dad won't let her! He thinks it's too dangerous because he himself once tried it and failed. Then, after her mom and grandmother help her get out on the sea, she spends the rest of the movie trying to fix the mistakes of Maui (Dwayne Johnson), an arrogant demigod who decided to steal the heart of a female deity, setting in motion a chain of events that almost caused famine for Moana and her people. The secret moral of this movie is never let men make choices.
6. 5. Rachel, The Girl on the Train
View this image ›
Release date: Oct. 7, 2016
Man who shapes her fate: Her despicable ex-husband
How he messes with her: Rachel's (Emily Blunt) life collapses because of her ex-husband. While they were together, he drugged her and abused her and then convinced her she was going insane and everything was her fault. After they broke up, she became obsessed with watching him in his new life with his new baby. During the events of the film, he continues to behave cruelly toward her, even though they've divorced. He is, in short, a demon-man (and a murderer!). The movie explores the crazy internalized misogyny of Rachel and several other female characters — and the seemingly endless capacity of men to break the women around them.
8. 7. Louisa, Me Before You
View this image ›
Warner Bros.
Release date: June 3, 2016
Man who shapes her fate: Her mean client turned sweet boyfriend
How he messes with her: Louisa (Emilia Clarke) has zero ambition, and then she becomes a personal care assistant to Will (Sam Claflin), who has quadriplegia. Louisa is not well-educated, whereas Will has lived a life of upper-class luxury and sophistication. Because of Will's persistent condescension and monetary resources, Louisa goes from working-class bumpkin to well-read world traveler. They fall in love. But in the end, Will decides to go through with assisted suicide, because he decides that they will both be better off if he's dead. She insists she loves him and wants him to live, but he insists she doesn't know her own mind. He leaves her some money (but not too much money) so that she can pursue the kind of life he thinks she should want. Will knows best!
9. 8. Superman's mom, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
View this image ›
Clay Enos / Warner Bros.
Release date: March 25, 2016
Men who shape her fate: Her goddamn idiot son, her goddamn idiot son's nemesis, her goddamn idiot son's other nemesis who turns out to be a friend when he realizes they both have moms
How they mess with her: Martha (Diane Lane) is the long-suffering mother of Superman (Henry Cavill). She is in this movie for only two reasons: first, to get kidnapped and brutalized by Superman's enemy who uses her as a bargaining chip; and then to have her first name become the catalyst for Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman to team up, because they both love their moms. Batman and Superman spend a lot of time debating how superheroes should be regulated, but IF THEY LOVE MOMS SO MUCH, MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T LOBBY FOR SUPERHERO RIGHTS AND SHOULD LOBBY, INSTEAD, FOR GENEROUS MATERNITY LEAVE AND FREE DAYCARE IN GOTHAM AND METROPOLIS. They're real hypocritical dummies.
10. Hi, Hollywood, just FYI, women can have motivations that don't involve men! Crazy, but true!

Thumbelina was a member of the Mutant Liberation Front. She was often picked on by the other members of the team, particularly Wildside and Strobe. Stryfe often kept Thumbelina in the reserves, and only sent her out when he absolutely needed to. Because of her weight, she would get tired very easily, espcially when Tempo used her time altering powers to grant the team super speed. However, Thumbelina's powers were useful to the group, as she provided easy access to difficult areas; she also became skilled in using her power for sneak attacks. In one mission, Thumbelina was able to repair a bomb that was severed by gunfire, and enabled the Mutant Liberation Front to succeed in their mission. She was later sent to release the captured Nasty Boys, Slab and Hairbag. Slab, Thumbelina's brother, has the complementary ability to grow in size to an extent, and they have a close relationship together. Her only friend in the Mutant Liberation Front was Dragoness, who was the only member that didn't make fun of her.
It is unknown if Thumbelina retained her powers after Decimation.
Powers and Abilities
Thumbelina has the mutant ability to shrink her body while increasing her strength at the same time.
