So why not enforce domestic pay levels for these folks, and lift the current annual cap of 140,000 H-1B green cards? Under my

where can i order or buy the ipad mini? i already have ipad (3rd gen) but stilli want to get this ipad mini for my own ASAP...
- Asked by Sharliza R from Johor Bahru
1 Answer from the Community
Malaysia has no iPad mini yet. However, I suggest that you not to get iPad mini and keep your iPad (3rd generation).
Reasons? iPad (3rd generation) has faster performance than iPad mini. iPad (3rd generation) has an A5X chip. iPad mini only has A5 chip, that would be a downgrade.
I'm not stopping you anyways, it's up to you! :)

About MeFrom a young age the fashion industry has been bred into me. My amazing mother Kimberly is who I thank most for my strong willed and motivated personality. My early years were spent in the art district of Whitefish Bay Wisconsin. I was fortunate enough to see the styles and trends as they faded in and out of the community. Seeing such changes molded me into who I am today. I find change fascinating and being part of a changing world is what modeling is all about to me. Modeling to me is moving froward but not forgetting the past, its detailed steps that find their way to room for the next best thing. It is my goal to be the best and with so much passion for the industry and our clients I know that I will succeed.

Located in suburban Chicago, the company traces its roots back to World War II when founder Harry Fox realized the niche market for selling military surplus goods to retail locations across the country. In response to dwindling surplus goods after the war, Mr. Fox became one of the individuals to tap the overseas market and establish direct import relationships with businesses in Asia, Europe, India, and elsewhere. These suppliers produced a wide range of basic camping, sporting and other outdoor gear. In 1970, Mr. Fox sold the original business and went into retirement.

Sopwith B.1
|Sopwith Aviation Company
|First flight
|Primary user
|Royal Naval Air Service
|Number built
The Sopwith B.1 was an experimental British bomber aircraft of the First World War. A single-seat, single-engined biplane, the B.1 was built by the Sopwith Aviation Company for the Royal Navy. Although only two were built, one was used for bombing raids over France.
Development and design[edit]
In late 1916, Sopwith, whose earlier 1½ Strutter had proved successful as a light bomber, (particularly when operated as a single seater), designed a new, single-engined bomber aircraft. The new bomber was developed in parallel with the Cuckoo carrier based torpedo bomber and closely resembled the Cuckoo. It, like the Cuckoo, was a compact tractor biplane, powered by a 200 hp (149 kW) Hispano-Suiza water-cooled engine. Unlike the Cuckoo, the bomber's two-bay wings did not fold. It was designed as a single-seat aircraft, with the pilot sitting in a cockpit under the wing centre section to give a good view forwards and downwards for bombing. The aircraft bombload of up to 560 lb (255 kg) was carried vertically within the fuselage, in cells behind the pilot.[1][2]
While no orders followed from either the Admiralty, whose needs for a single-engined bomber had been met by the Airco DH.4 or the Royal Flying Corps, Sopwith obtained a license to build a prototype of the new bomber, designated Sopwith B.1 as a private venture, probably hoping for orders from the French Aéronautique Militaire.[3] This prototype first flew in early April 1917, being tested officially later that month, where it demonstrated good performance, but was tail heavy when carrying a bomb load and nose heavy without, and was tiring to fly.[1]
It was sent to France following these tests, in the mistaken belief that the French wanted to test the aircraft. Once in France, the unwanted B.1 was acquired by the British Royal Naval Air Service, given the serial number N.50 and issued to 5 Squadron, RNAS on 16 May 1917 for operational evaluation.[4] Fitted with a single forward firing Lewis gun, the B.1 was flown on a number of bombing raids against targets in German-occupied Belgium. While its performance was praised, it was again noted that the B.1 was tiring to fly, and that the lack of manoeuvrability or any useful defensive armament meant that it was vulnerable to hostile fighters.[5]
The prototype B.1 was sent to the Marine Experimental Aircraft Depot on the Isle of Grain in autumn 1917 for reconstruction as a two-seat carrier based reconnaissance aircraft with folding wings. The initial attempts at modifying the aircraft were not successful, but the B.1 formed the basis of the Port Victoria Grain Griffin, a major redesign of the B.1 with new wings and a wider fuselage.[1]
A second B.1 was built in early 1918, being fitted with the elevator control cables routed outside the fuselage in an attempt to improve control. This aircraft was purchased by the RNAS and tested at Martlesham Heath in April–May 1918.[6]

Top 5 Best Easter Candies
We all look forward to various seasons. For some it's crawfish, oyster, or softshell crab season. For others, it's barbecue season. For us, it's Easter candy season. After all, Easter candy is better than the candies of all other holidays combined. Oh we'll grant you that Halloween has some winners -- Christmas, too -- but none compare to the resurrection of joy that extends through the candy aisles from the day after Valentine's on through to early April. Here are our top five favorites.
5. M&M pastels Okay, fine, they taste the same as regular M&Ms, but we can't resist the lovely pastel colors that accompany the change from Winter to Spring. Sue us. Whether you serve them in a candy dish, in a plastic Easter egg, or directly from the bag, these lil' guys are Marvelous & Majestic, and a-okay with us.
4. Chocolate Bunnies The Easter classic has evolved over the years, and now you can procure bunnies in milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, peanut butter, sugar-free, and more. And let's be honest, it's always fun to bring out the morbid side of Easter by giving a play-by-play of your chocolate bunny's grisly demise.
3. Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs Like the M&M's listed above, this one is only a cosmetic difference from its regular, best-selling form, yet the egg-shaped PB&C concoction somehow tastes better than the everyday cup. We think it's the increased peanut butter-to-chocolate ratio. Hallelujah!
2. Jelly Beans Chewy and sweet, these traditional Easter candies just don't get old for us. And while we don't dig 'em all year long, somehow they just taste better in March/April. You don't have to make that cake with the shredded coconut grass and jelly bean Easter eggs, but we highly recommend it.
1. Robin Eggs A colorful hard candy shell lovingly wrapped around a malt ball center. Sometimes when we work a really long day, these become dinner. And we're not complaining. Because there's no better way to celebrate rebirth than by eating tiny candies that look like they could have been stolen out of the nest in your front yard.

I made macaroon cookies by whisking the egg whites and adding flour and they came out more like lady fingers. Light and fluffy. I had to bake them long and lower oven so they would not burn. I did them over using a recipe without the flour. But they wanted me to roll them and they were way too moist. They puffed up real nice in oven but they said to take them out golden brown. When I did they fell. Inside is moist and chewy but they can not come of grease paper, even though I brushed it with shortening so it would not stick.
The coconut macaroons in the bake shops are chewier and they hold a round kinda ball shape.
What am I doing wrong?
Hello, Rochelle1!
I cannot tell you what you are doing wrong. I do not use a recipe with flour in it for my coconut macaroons.
That being said, I will tell you what I do and do not.
I do not use grease when baking macaroons. Grease will deflate the meringue, the same way that it will ruin Royal Icing if it is on the beater or in the bowl. I use plain parchment paper, no grease, on my cookie sheets. The meringues come right off, when they cool enough to stay together.
Here is a link to the recipe I use. As I said before, it has never failed me since I found it, back in 2002.
Thank you Playingwithsugar, I was wondering if they wouldn't be a tad bit lighter but moist if I used the method that whisks in the begining.
Will try ur method however. Thanks once more you are wonderful.
PS will let u know outcome

IT WAS a step back in time for visitors to Dunster over the weekend.
The medieval village was packed out as hundreds of people gathered for the 27th Dunster by Candlelight.
Lanterns and candles lit up the streets with Dunster Castle providing a spectacular illuminating backdrop, adding to the magical medieval feel.
As well as plenty of late night shopping to enjoy, crowds were entertained by choirs, morris men, battle re-enactments and the traditional torchlight procession.
This was just a handful of what was on offer.
West Somerset Railway also ran special trains on Friday and Saturday (December 6 and 7) from Bishops Lydeard to Dunster and Minehead.

Should Casey Anthony buy a house in Florida?
Here is WPB attorney Ed Marod's free, unsolicited advice:
"Consider the amount of scrutiny she's getting, buying a house in Orlando is not the greatest idea for her to begin with," said Marod. "There are ways to get at, even a homestead. It's just that in the Supreme Court of Florida they're saying a homestead is a homestead. It may be a good idea for her to do that."

Trustee Elizabeth Moyer says she'll attend a private board meeting Thursday night, in person, where trustees will discuss a report that found she harassed two senior educators.
The confidential report says Moyer inappropriately touched one administrator and made a sexually suggestive comment to another.
The complaint was launched by executive superintendent Jim Spyropoulos, but the investigation then included a complaint by executive superintendent Manon Gardner, who said she'd been approached by Moyer three years ago at a board function, where Moyer allegedly commented about her "sexy" clothes and told her "I would so do you right now."
The investigation, by an outside law firm, found that Moyer touched Spyropoulos' face, "which invaded his space and made him feel uncomfortable. The face touch was overly familiar and 'flirty.' "
The investigator also found that Moyer asked Spyropoulos "for assistance in placing her daughters" in a job program meant for at-risk youth in 2012, and "indirectly" for one daughter the next summer.
In an interview, Moyer questioned the process under which the board is operating, saying only a trustee can bring forward a complaint against another trustee under its code of conduct, and to her knowledge that hasn't happened.
"I want some clarity," she said.
Last June, when Moyer was first accused of harassing Spyropoulos, she told the Star she was being targeted for being a "whistleblower" after raising concerns about potential financial irregularities at the board, including some with the youth jobs program.
The allegation by Gardner pre-dates those events; Gardner reported it to her superior in 2011, the report states.
Moyer said she's not perfect, but "I'm not the type to hurt or offend anyone."
She said she's offered to take the complaint to mediation "many times … and I said over a year ago I was willing to apologize to anyone" who was offended.

Tom Perkins, the legendary venture capitalist who provoked a firestorm by comparing the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany to the way rich people are treated in the United States, on Thursday offered a provocative idea about how to "change the world." During an interview with a Fortune magazine jornalist, Perkins said that only U.S. taxpayers should be able to vote in elections.
But that's not all. Perkins went on to say that wealthy people should get more votes than others because they pay more in taxes. The comments by Perkins, who made his fortune as one of the founders of venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, provoked laughter at the San Francisco Commonwealth Club, where he was being interviewed by Adam Lashinsky of Fortune. Perkins would later say that his comments were meant to be "provocative," according to Reuters, and at least one reporter at the event said the 82-year-old later claimed he wasn't being serious.
Earlier in the interview, Perkins elaborated on his controversial view that the wealthiest Americans -- sometimes called the 1% -- are currently being "persecuted" because they are rich. "The extreme progressivity of taxation is a form of persecution," Perkins said. "I think if you've paid 75% of your life's earnings to the government, you are being persecuted." In the U.S., wealthy people pay higher rates of income tax -- in what's known as a progressive tax system -- in part to fund social programs for less affluent people.
Later in the interview, Lashinksy asked Perkins for a "60-second idea to change the world." The venture capitalist's response: "The Tom Perkins system is: You don't get to vote unless you pay a dollar of taxes. But what I really think is, it should be like a corporation. You pay a million dollars in taxes, you should get a million votes. How's that?" (Video below, see comments at 1:03:00.) Perkins later elaborated on those comments to Fortune by saying that because 50% of registered U.S. voters don't pay taxes, "we got ourselves into a mess."
(MORE: The 6 Most Important Tech Bombshells Coming This Year)
Perkins' latest comments came three weeks after a letter he wrote to the Wall Street Journal provoked a furor. "Writing from the epicenter of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its 'one percent,' namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the 'rich,'" said Perkins. "This is a very dangerous drift in our American thinking. Kristallnacht was unthinkable in 1930; is its descendant 'progressive' radicalism unthinkable now?"
Kristallnacht, also referred to as "Night of the Broken Glass," was an overnight pogrom in 1938 against Jews in Nazi Germany and parts of Austria, during which at least 91 people were killed and 30,000 more were sent to concentration camps. Historians consider Kristallnacht to be a turning point in the Nazi campaign to exterminate Jews, during what become known as the Holocaust, in which an estimated six million Jews were killed.
Perkins would later retract his use of the term Kristallnacht to describe what's happening to the wealthiest Americans. Perkins told Bloomberg that Kristallnacht was a "terrible word to have chosen," but said that his point was "when you start to use hatred against a minority it can get out of control. It's absurd to demonize the rich for doing what the rich do, and getting richer by creating opportunity for others."
In the wake of Perkins' comments, Kleiner Perkins, the firm he co-founded, sent the following Tweet: "Tom Perkins has not been involved in KPCB in years. We were shocked by his views expressed today in the WSJ and do not agree." In the interview on Thursday, Perkins expressed disappointment at the company's response. "They could have chosen not to say anything, but instead they threw me under the bus," said Perkins. (He is still listed as Partner Emeritus on the firm's website.)
Founded in 1972, Kleiner Perkins is one of the most famous venture capital firms in U.S. history, with past investments in a wide range of technology companies, including Amazon.com, Compaq, Electronic Arts, Genentech, Google, Intuit, Juniper Networks, Netscape, Sun Microsystems, Symantec, Verisign, WebMD, Zynga and many others.

Knitting Goals for the New Year
Posted on December 30 2016
Many people set goals or resolutions for the new year. They're usually focused on life or career changes – like "I will exercise at least twice a week every week." All of these goals are fabulous, but they can be a bit of a drag. To counteract them, why not set some fun goals, goals for something you like doing? Knitting goals is one way to do this.
Try a New Knitting Technique
Even the most experienced knitters can benefit from this. It's a great way to improve your knitting skills while having fun and reaching a goal. For newer knitters, a good knitting goal for the new year might be something like learning how to do a cable. For a more experienced knitter a good goal might be learning to create your own patterns.
Make Something You've Never Made Before
If you're like most knitters, you've probably got a favorite project or two. For me, it's sweaters. While making one particular project over and over again (like lots of sweaters) can be fun, it doesn't necessarily increase skills. For the new year, make a goal to make something else, say socks or mittens. You may just find you like it as much, or more, than your favorite project and you'll have a new set of skills.
Start a Knitting Group
Knitters love to get together with other knitters. In the coming year, challenge yourself to step up your leadership and organizational skills by starting a knitting group. If you're feeling really ambitious, you could even give the group a specific focus such as knitting hats for babies, scarves for homeless people or gloves of service members.
Teach Someone Else to Knit
The best part of having any skill is sharing it. In the coming year, share your love of knitting with others by teaching. Show a friend or a family member. Teaching knitting doesn't have to be a formal undertaking, it can be a casual afternoon while you visit with one of your besties and show them the ropes of yarn work. As you share your skill you're also creating lasting bonds and memories.
Enter a Craft Fair
Keep your knitting hands busy all year long by making items to sell at a local holiday craft fair. Craft fairs are a fun experience. Although there's no guarantee you'll sell everything or walk away with a profit, the atmosphere and time to meet with other local crafters is well worth it. Each year, you'll get a little better at them. If this year is going to be your first – just have fun. And bring your yarn and needles! Actively knitting at your table may draw some interested folks to you.
What knitting goals will you set for the coming year?

Infants with BPD are also at high risk for pulmonary hypertension (PH)—an important contributor to their condition. Previous research has suggested that a protein in the blood, endothelin-1 (ET-1), is associated with pulmonary disease.
This study aims to investigate the incidence of PH and levels of ET-1 among premature babies with BPD. It will also potentially allow us to focus further research efforts and treatment towards these infants, some of our sickest patients at LPCH.
|Detailed Description
This study aims to 1) investigate the incidence of PH among premature infants with BPD versus those without BPD and 2) investigate ET-1 levels in infants with BPD-associated PH versus those without BPD-associated PH. This study will allow us to help define a high-risk population at LPCH—namely, premature infants with BPD-associated PH. It will also potentially allow us to focus further research efforts and treatment targets towards these infants who encompass some of our sickest patients at LPCH.
In 2009 the Division of Lung Diseases of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) published seven priority areas for research in pediatric pulmonary diseases, one of which was pulmonary vascular disease. An emphasis was made on finding 'clinical strategies that anticipate the development of PH [which] may allow earlier recognition and more aggressive therapy, thereby slowing the development of PH in many chronic lung parenchymal and vascular diseases'. This study attempts to address this goal. Specifically we aim to evaluate ET-1 levels in premature infants diagnosed with BPD and with BPD-associated PH. If ET-1 levels are found to correlate with disease state the possibility of prediction and possible early treatment for PH in these infants is raised and merits investigation.

Feature request: Lightbox widget to display information within the form.Asked by CenterforSalesExcellence on September 29, 2014 at 03:06 PM
I am looking for lightbox widget that can display html. Here is what I am trying to do. I would like to have info icon that user can select. Once it is selected, it will then pops up a lightbox to display all the instructions for that form section. So far I am using conditional to achieve that. But would like to know if there is a lightbox widget or any widgets that can achieve the same purpose? Thanks in advance.
Yes, there is a lightbox widget available to use. You can find information about it and a demo here: http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/product_lightbox
Hope you find this information useful.
If you have any questions, please post them here.
Best Regards,
JotForm Support
As far as I know, we do not have any widget that can be used in that way. The only thing that I can think of is the Hover Text option, it works on a per field basis and can accept HTML.
Are you looking for something like the info lighboxes that can be set individually per fields? Is this supposed to be clicked or just hovered? If there are any other requirements please let us know.
We will raise a feature request ticket once we have more information on this.
Thank you for your replies.
@Mike_T: You are right! I am actually looking for info lightboxes but not necessarily per fields. I am building a form that are multiple sections across multiple pages. And I want to put in instructions for each section, and one of ways that I can think of is info lightbox. Currently my solution is using conditional statements. I really appreciate if you can leverage this to the developer.
JotForm Support
Hello CenterforSalesExcellence,
I am sending a feature request to our back end team to add a lightbox window kind of feature to add within a form.
Please be noted that creating a feature request does not ensure you that the feature will get implemented. It completely depends upon the feasibility and priority of our back end team.
We will get back to you as soon as we have any update from them.
Thank you!
Hi - has this feature request made any progress?
Hi Paul,
There is no current update on this request. If you are interested in having this feature added, please create a new thread with your request and we will pass it on to our developers.
This will allow them to see the level of interest and allow them to prioritize.
Thank you.

Again, UE4 is a prime example. That engine does not have support for the Wii U. A UE4 based game will have to be rebuilt using an engine that could run on the Wii U...

You don't seem to understand that what Epic said was nothing more than a "let's prevent getting ourselves in a crazy PR nightmare." If you had a clue about the UE4 engine, you would have understood that what the UE4 features and supports, the Wii U is unable to support on a technical level. Yes Epic can make a alternative Wii U version of the engine where the effects and shaders could be systematically converted to baked in effects and what not but here's the thing:
Why would Epic bother to put in the effort to build and maintain two major versions of UE4 that would be DRASTICALLY different? The answer is that they wouldn't because they are not fools.
The latter IS very doable if a company wishes to do it, I've already explained how: The company will basically rebuild the game using a different engine. You can do that for any game and for any platform. What Epic said is PERFECTLY true but nobody is going to ever do that because you're going to basically be building two completely different versions of the same game. You can't even port it, you will literally have to rebuild the thing from scratch with the only things carrying over being the assets, however, the resource intensive part of a game is going to be the engine, that's why UE is so popular, that's why Havok us so popular, these engines reduces MUCH of the work needed to build games. Nobody is going to be stupid enough to go back to the stone ages and build brand new engines for each game which is basically what they will end up doing if they wanted to move a UE4 based game on to the Wii U. Yes you can argue that they can reuse these Wii U engines they make but let's face it, these developers are not going to be making enough titles to justify the expense and effort needed to build that Wii U engine in the first place.

Why don't you actually bother to read the article? Epic essentially said that developers can bring UE4 games over to the Wii U but Epic did not say that UE4 supports the Wii U. This is a VERY VERY important distinction. How so? You can bring a UE4 game to the GameBoy if you wanted to, you would just have to rebuild the game so that you have a version that you can run on the GameBoy.

Two of the biggest games that got delayed in the launch window were published by Nintendo, you know.
Seriously, I swear, you must be an employee of Nintendo. There's just no other explanation for all the crap you write.

I can honestly say that just Nintendo Land was more fun than anything new I've played for a very long time.
Whenever I have friends over, NL is the goto game. Bioshock, Tomb Raider... they've been good, but NL is the best multiplayer they've got out there now.
Nintendo Land didn't have a good showing at E3, because nobody really understood the appeal. How could you? You can't understand it any better than 3D previews without 3D.
That was why they closed out E3 with NL. It was awesome to them because they knew how fun it was. We had no idea, so we scoffed at the concept (of course, we also saw how excited Miyamoto got for Wii Music, so it wasn't unheard of for a massive misstep like that).
Alundra is the best top-down Zelda game since Link to the Past.
Darksiders is the best 3D Zelda game since Ocarina of Time.

So, you prefer to play multiplayer games than single player games when you have multiple players over.

It doesn't help that most multi modes despise local multiplayer with a passion. Nintendo has always understood that playing with friends in the immediate vicinity is the most fun because then people don't treat others as just bots

Come on. You've clearly never owned either.
Haha! I could take a picture of my ps3 collection if you'd like, right next to my PS3 and Wii U. Take a stroll to the downstairs, I have PS2, Wii, Dreamcast, N64, SNES, NES, and a Sega/Sega CD. xbox and 360 are the only consoles I'm really not a fan of at all. (lack of classic games for one thing... of which they have none. Only XBOX title I would touch today would be Jet Set Radio Future)
Oh, and the Vita. I have plenty of posts on the Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational board and have platinumed the game, and have about a dozen ps1 classics.
Seriously... I wasn't impressed with the Wii U until I actually played it. I watched a friend play Zombi U for hours and didn't think much of it at all. I was very skeptical, I think most people have "Wii fatigue" and tired over gimmicky motion controls.
Nintendo Land is actually good. It really is, and I everyone owes it to themselves to give it an honest shot. I do play a lot of local multiplayer and my friends and I are going to have an absolute ball with it. Nothing on ps3 or 360 comes close. You Don't Know Jack starts collecting dust now...

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. You can't run UE4 on a gameboy nomatter what you do. The dotmatrix screen simply won't be able to handle the system calls. A better example would be to spend five minutes to create a qbasic program depicting a ball bouncing on a screen, and porting it to a modern 64bit system you'll have the frames running at the wrong rate (far too fast) -- you make simple modifications to handle the new architecture and it runs smoothly. The Wii U's architecture is largely based on x86, which is the same architechture the ps4 will be using. It will be less of an architechtural difference than there is between the 360 and ps3 (see: ridiculous cell processor)
It's really not that hard. You compile it as is, comment out anything causing errors, get it to compile, fix the errors one at a time to get the modules / calls functioning correctly, and then do some QC to check for non-obvious bugs.

When did reality TV get so unrealistic? And what's Paris Hilton doing even setting foot on a farm?
This is why I'm proposing a bold, new reality concept. I shot this quite a while back, using a nice retired couple from Toledo, Ohio.
Hartman: Mom and Dad, first of all, thanks for letting me do this. You've got to be excited. What did you think when I told you what I wanted to do with you?
Hartman's mother: I thought, I guess, it's not as bad as wanting a kidney.
With cameras literally everywhere, I created the first-ever reality TV program.
Hartman's mother, reading: To keep your glassware gleaming, add a quarter of a cup of vinegar to the dishwater.
I'm talking real reality.
Although my dad doesn't talk much, you do get to watch him move the remote control from the couch, where it doesn't belong, to the end table, where apparently it does. You also get to see my mother table-dance to college fight songs, which is pretty much why the tape has never left my basement -- until now.
Over one weekend, I conducted a little focus group of my show, and got mixed reviews. But they really had only one major complaint. Bad casting.
Most said all the show needed was characters who were more like themselves. All of which means it's only a matter of time before this phenomenon plays out to its logical conclusion.
The ultimate reality TV program: all of us starring in our very own shows doing what we do in reality, watching TV.
