Here's what happens when migrant caravan arrives at U.S. border
WASHINGTON — President Trump ratcheted up his rhetoric Monday about a caravan of thousands of Central Americans making its way toward the U.S., even as uncertainty grew over what will happen to the migrants if they reach the border.
Trump has seized on the caravan as a key talking point heading into the midterm elections. The president has been pointing to the growing group of migrants as justification for his aggressive immigration proposals.
"Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!" Trump tweeted Monday.
Sadly, it looks like Mexico's Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2018
A source familiar with the government's information on the caravan said there was no evidence "Middle Easterners" were mixing into it. It's unclear whether Mexico will allow the group to continue the remaining 1,000-plus miles to the U.S. border without interfering.
Here are some answers to common questions about the caravan:
Q: Why do caravans form?
A large factor attracting migrants is potential safety in numbers. It is virtually impossible to travel through Mexico to the U.S. border without paying smugglers, as the organized crime cartels control territory that migrants need to cross. On the way, the migrants are often abused, extorted and assaulted. Caravans offer an opportunity to travel together and avoid some of those dangers.
Caravans have also been seen as an opportunity for migrants and their supporters to call attention to their plight. There is extreme violence and poverty in what's known as the Northern Triangle — Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador — which remains the largest driver of migrants to the U.S. border.
Q: What happens when they reach the U.S.?
It is impossible to predict how many of the migrants will eventually reach the border. In the past, hundreds of migrants have fallen away from caravans as they traveled, either turned back by Mexico, settling there, or setting off on their own.
The migrants usually intend to turn themselves in to authorities in the U.S. Once they're at a designated port of entry or if they are apprehended trying to cross illegally, they can tell officials that they have a fear of persecution in their home country. That triggers an asylum interview.
Q: Where will they arrive?
A caravan last spring ended up in Tijuana, so most of the migrants tried to cross at the San Ysidro port of entry south of San Diego.
That border crossing is the busiest in the hemisphere and regularly has long wait times for migrants seeking asylum. In April, some migrants had to wait there for weeks.
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan testified at a congressional hearing in July that the wait at that crossing at the time was 1,000 people long. The port can process 50 to 100 people a day, he said.
Q: So will they be let into the U.S.?
It depends. By law, asylum seekers must be given a chance to make their case once they set foot on U.S. soil. But the U.S has been stopping people before they get to the border, which officials call the "limit line," until space is available. There is a shelter network on the Mexico side of the border.
An inspector general report analyzing the administration's handling of the family separation crisis this summer faulted that "metering" for causing more people to cross into the U.S. illegally after they were turned away from the port of entry.
Long waits could also worsen an already dangerous situation, said Eric Olson, an expert on Mexico and Latin America at the Wilson Center, a nonpartisan institute in Washington. Cartels target desperate migrants at the border, he said, and homicide rates have skyrocketed there this year.
"You introduce more chaos, more uncertainty to those areas and you're going to exacerbate a very difficult humanitarian situation," Olson said "There are very active criminal organizations operating in those areas that specialize in moving migrants, and they are going to certainly take advantage of the situation."
Q: What happens once they're here?
Once on U.S. soil, either legally at a crossing or caught illegally, an immigrant claiming fear of persecution back home is interviewed to assess whether that fear is "credible." Those who pass that screening are given a court date, often years in the future, at which they can make their case for asylum. Those found not to have a credible fear are put into expedited deportation proceedings.
Most immigrants waiting for asylum proceedings are let out of detention, often with tracking devices. The Trump administration, however, has sought to be able to detain immigrants for longer and to move their cases through faster.
Q: Is the U.S. preparing for their arrival?
The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment about preparations for the caravan. In a statement, Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said the U.S. would work with other countries to prosecute criminal organizations that "prey" on migrants.
Ur Jaddou, a former counsel at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Obama administration who now works for pro-immigration advocacy group America's Voice, said the administration should be getting ready.
Instead, Jaddou said, Trump is "stoking fear, tweeting about it. ... He's using this to scare people rather than seeing it as, 'We have a problem, we should address it appropriately,' as a good government should do."
Q: What are the migrants' chances of being granted asylum?
Historically, roughly 80 percent of migrants pass their initial credible-fear interview, but fewer end up winning their legal case for asylum. To stay in the U.S., asylum seekers must prove to an immigration court that they are being persecuted for something they cannot change, and that their government is unable or unwilling to protect them.
Q: What has changed, if anything, under Trump?
The administration has made it even more difficult for many Central Americans to win asylum. Jeff Sessions has used his unique authority as attorney general to overrule the immigration courts' appellate body and reinterpret asylum law more narrowly. Sessions ruled this summer that most victims of domestic and gang violence don't qualify for asylum, a decision over which California has sued the administration.
But the right to claim asylum is not something the Trump administration can change by itself. That is enshrined in both domestic and international law, and would require legislation in Congress to change.
Q: What about families and children?
Laws and court settlements require that immigrant children be held in custody for only short periods — either three days by themselves or 20 days as part of a family. Children who arrive alone must be handed over to the Department of Health and Human Services, which runs a shelter network that houses the children until they can be placed with an adult in the U.S.
The Trump administration separated more than 2,500 families to prosecute the parents this spring, then backtracked amid an international outcry. Since June, families caught crossing the border illegally have been held and processed together and most have been released into the U.S. with monitoring if they pass their asylum interview.

Superintendent Pharmacist Salary
Pharmacists have major responsibilities to ensure medication safety for their patients through careful attention to accuracy and patient education. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, pharmacists must have a doctorate and be licensed in all states. They interact with patients and health care professionals, and supervise other pharmacy staff such as pharmacy technicians. Some also supervise other pharmacists.
Salary Basics
The BLS reports the average annual salary for pharmacists in 2012 was $114,950. Drug Topics, a pharmacy industry publication, notes in a May 2013 article, however, that salaries in 2013 ranged from $101,000 to $141,000, with the majority of pharmacists in the survey reporting a salary between $116,000 and $140,000. Salary might not be the only compensation, however, as pharmacists in some settings earn additional income through commissions, bonuses or profit-sharing. Pharmacists in independent or chain pharmacies were more likely to report additional compensation than those in hospitals and other pharmacy settings.
The Role Affects Salary
Taking on responsibility for management, staff supervision or similar responsibilities can affect a pharmacist's salary. For example, Indeed.com reports supervising pharmacists earned $124,000 annually as of December 2013. Some pharmacists in supervisory roles might earn more, however. Indeed.com reports salaries of $148,000 for a pharmacist supervisor, $165,000 for a pharmacy location supervisor and $165,000 for a clinical pharmacy supervisor in December of 2013. Pharmacy team leaders, who also have supervisory roles, earned estimated salaries of $30,000-plus to $110,000-plus, according to Indeed.com.
Work Setting Matters
Pharmacy Week, a trade paper that focuses on the pharmacy employment market, conducted an industry-specific salary survey in the spring of 2013. The survey includes data on supervisory positions such as pharmacy team managers in different work settings. Pharmacists who worked as team managers for mass merchandisers earned the least of the group at $123,400 annually, while those who worked in supermarkets and chain drug stores earned $128,900. Those who worked in hospitals and health care systems, however, earned considerably more at $139,600.
Looking Ahead
The job outlook for pharmacists, including those with supervisory responsibilities, is very good, according to the BLS. Pharmacist employment is expected to grow 25 percent through 2020, faster than the 14 percent average projected for all other occupations. Demand will be driven by the increased population of elderly patients, who are more likely to use prescription medications than younger people. Increased insurance coverage could also drive prescribing practices, and new drugs will require additional patient education and supervision to prevent complications.
2018 Salary Information for Pharmacists
Pharmacists earned a median annual salary of $126,120 in May 2018, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the low end, pharmacists earned a 10th percentile salary of $109,400, meaning 90 percent earned more than this amount. The 90th percentile salary is $138,920, meaning 10 percent earn more. In 2018, 314,300 people were employed in the U.S. as pharmacists.

Sidmouth seeking to land first opening day home win since 2006
PUBLISHED: 12:00 31 August 2018
(C) 2008 Thinkstock Images
Sidmouth launch a new season of league rugby on Saturday (September 1) at home to Saltash.
Ollie Pyne will again skipper Sidmouth and, speaking ahead of the game, the club's Terry O'Brien says: "We have only lost one player from last season's squad and a few players have returned from university, etc, so we start stronger in depth.
"If we can start as we finished last season, sixth in the league and winning the Devon Intermediate Cup, we should expect to do well in the coming season.
"The aim is a top four finish and to reach the final of the Intermediate Cup again by being one of the top two Devon clubs in the league.
"Attendance at training, under new head coach Phil Dollman has been very good and confidence is high despite that pre-season defeat at Honiton."
Opening day opposition Saltash will be making their first start in the division after gaining promotion out of the Tribute Cornwall and Devon League at the end of last season. The Cornish side had a terrific season as they also reached the final of the National Senior Vase, losing 22-18 to Wath on Dearne in the final at Twickenham.
Sidmouth and Saltash last met in league action during the 2015/16 Tribute Western Counties season with Sidmouth winning the November meeting at the Blackmore 44-23 and also winning the game in Cornwall 13-8, that one played in February 2016.
So, how do Sidmouth generally get on in the opening game of a new campaign. The answer to that is 'not very well' for they have just two of their opening games over the past seven seasons!
They did win the first outing of last season, beating St Austell 23-22 in Cornwall, but that was a first opening day win in six years since a September 3, 2011, 29-9 success at Chosen Hill Former Pupils in a Tribute South West One meeting.
The last time Sidmouth won a home opening game was back in September 2006 when they were 38-5 winners against Ivybridge.
The Sidmouth 2nd XV, skippered by Neil Barratt, are also in Saturday action, they travel to meet Exeter Amateurs 2nds.

Carbon capture and sequestration (or storage) - known as CCS - has attracted interest as a measure for mitigating global climate change because large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from fossil fuel use in the United States are potentially available to be captured and stored underground or prevented from reaching the atmosphere. Congressional interest has grown in CCS as part of legislative strategies to address climate change. The large and rapid influx of funding for industrial-scale CCS projects may accelerate
development and deployment of CO2 capture technologies.

Slanted Door partners with Munchery for meal kits
In the latest episode of restaurants doubling down on food delivery services, Charles Phan has partnered his wildly popular Slanted Door with Munchery to provide ready-to-eat-meals and cooking kits for Bay Area customers. It'll be a limited menu from the Slanted Door (click here to view) but all the staples are there — shaking beef, claypot chicken, etc.
Phan also worked with Munchery in 2015, a time when the company was deep in the throes of the whole "chef-inspired," ready-to-cook meals craze. Phan was one of the first chefs to provide his own offerings through the company, though the dishes weren't specifically Slanted Door-related.
The prices are comparable to ordering the food at Slanted Door. A cooking kit version of the claypot chicken is $26.95 while it's $25 normally at the restaurant. The shaking beef kit is $39.95 compared to $41 when ordered in the dining room.
As for why this is happening, Phan provided a statement via Munchery praising the company's approach to preparing and transporting food, making it a "a far better solution for us than today's app-ordering and delivery options." (Also of note: The year began with the Munchery laying off 30 employees at its Mission District headquarters.)
For the Slanted Door, it's expansion time. There's an outpost heading to Las Vegas' Forum Shops at Caesars Palace sometime in 2018, marking the brand's first foray outside of California. Phan is also working on a Slanted Door in Los Angeles and his next Bay Area project is Rice & Bones in U.C. Berkeley's Wurster Hall.

World Leading Technology Innovations
OKI has a long list of pioneering industry firsts developed through the power of its innovation over the last 30 years.
From the first LED printers of 1989, the company has constantly broken new ground, introducing the world's first A4 colour multifunction printer in 2005 and the world's first digital LED white toner printers in 2012.
A year later, we set another industry benchmark, with the unveiling of the C941 – the world's first digital LED 5 colour A3 printer.
In A4 digital colour printing, OKI's breakthrough printer innovation has removed the last barrier to creativity and design - how to print in any colour desired including white, simply and cost-effectively.
And at the heart of our innovations is OKI's pioneering approach with LED technology.
What is LED
LED, or light-emitting diode, is a type of semiconductor element that gives off light and has been used in OKI printers over the last three decades.
Yet it seems that it is only now being 'discovered' by a number of leading-edge industries such as automotive, laptop and contemporary lighting design and manufacture.
For manufacturers in these sectors, LED has now been rightly recognised as a highly innovative technology offering them and their customers enhanced performance in such areas as cost-control, quality and environmental impact.
OKI launched its first generation digital LED-based printers as long ago as 1989 and has continued to refine and improve the technology ever since making it the constant frontrunner in LED technology development.
What Benefits does LED Offer?
In addition to the performance gains offered by LED technology, there is no doubt that its establishment as a credible, mainstream alternative to laser-based print technologies, is due to its ability to meet the unprecedented demand for solutions which can deliver proven return on investment in tough economic times.
This is especially evident in the small to medium business (SMB) marketplace, in which companies are looking to compete with larger competitors with bigger budgets in ever-more aggressive markets.
LED printers are characterised by offering high-speed, high image-quality printing in a simple structure which is simply not possible with laser printers.
Laser printers have a single laser beam as a light source that is divided by mirrors to send light to the image drum, so the internal structure is complex and the actual printer body is often large as well.
Compared to this, LED printers send light directly to the image drum, so they can be designed without mirrors and offer a shorter distance to the image drum, which reduces the size of the printer body.
In addition, the simple internal structure in turn simplifies maintenance.
View video showcasing OKI's 3rd generation, digital LED printer technology >
Structure of LED Print Heads
LED print heads have multiple LEDs arranged in a straight line, and they turn on and off depending on the print signal.
OKI has developed a device (epifilm LED array) that integrates the LEDs with the IC that drives them using epifilm bonding (EFB) technology, and this is used in our LED print heads.
OKI's LED print heads are made up of a chip-on-board (COB) that mounts multiple epifilm LED arrays on a circuit board for the print width, whether A4, A3, etc., and a rod lens array that produces images on the image drum from the light emitted by the LEDs.
For example, a 600 dpi (dot per inch) A4-size print head has 4,992 dot LEDs arranged in a straight line that each emit light and turn off, depending on the print data, to write the latent image on the image drum.
Key Innovations driven by Digital LED Technology
High Definition Colour
LED technology is the technological enabler behind OKI's remarkable High Definition Colour.High Definition Colour makes it easy to achieve outstanding results through OKI's unique collection of market-defining hardware and software technologies. High Definition Colour comprises four elements. Besides the ground-breaking LED print-head, microfine high-definition toner ensures documents are sharper, crisper and glossier than alternatives, even on ordinary office paper.
Unrivalled Media Flexibility
These two technologies are used in combination with the single-pass flat paper path, which offers best-in-class print speed, and unrivalled media handling capability from heavy card to long banners up to 1.2m in length. Finally, the deployment of a printer control system constantly checks alignment, registration and colour balance, making printing as simple as it should be, to ensure high definition colour every time.
Printing in White
Again thanks to OKI's ground-breaking digital LED technology, in-house printing using White Toner alongside High Definition colour on a wide range of media is made possible. Previously, printing in white has been an expensive, time consuming task that is often handled by larger print houses, however, OKI's White Toner innovation removes the last barrier to creativity and enables graphics businesses to print in any colour, including white, on a range of media, simply and cost effectively.
Printing in CMYK + 1
Most recently and again enabled by our unique digital LED printing technology, OKI has taken graphic arts printing one step further with the launch of the Pro9541 and Pro9542 models – the first of their kind to allow on-demand printing in the full range of process colours with the addition of a fifth spot colour in either white or clear gloss.A true breakthrough in printing technology for the creative and graphics industries, the Pro9541 and Pro9542 enable enable in-house printing on a wide range of media, with a new vibrancy of colours, and the option of printing white or a clear gloss finish - a process which previously could only be achieved through the use of expensive digital or lithographic printing equipment.

Business owners today must prioritize addressing their businesses by focusing on how to be found online. The Bing listing helps local businesses to attract new clients by conveniently displaying their data when a latent customer explores online platforms for any goods or services the business offers. Bing Places may prove one of the best options to help them accomplish this.
Creating and Optimizing a listing on Bing Places might sound easy, but then the process appears with its set of difficulties. Luckily, we have an experienced team of professionals at Good Old Geek that help businesses get found online every day. Creating and Claiming a Bing Places Listing, the first step in getting businesses found online is to check for other existing listings.
If for any reason the business you're looking for doesn't have a listing yet, then you can easily make one by creating an account. Don't worry: you don't have to be the business owner. You can just be a verified spokesperson. Multiple areas are covered by Bing's bulk upload tool.
When you create a new user, Bing allows you to import your information directly from Google My Business – very conveniently! If the business you're trying to get listed doesn't have a Google My Business listing, one can also add the data manually.
Optimizing for Bing local search:
Bing Places, like Google My Business, has a notable impression on local search results. However, there are some more general things to bear in mind.
Bing has much lower conflict and a more conversion-prone user base in many places, making it ideal for small, precise operations pointed at particular groups of consumers. Also, some claim that Bing has a lower bounce rate than Google as well, meaning that visitors might view more pages and click more links.
Bing also uses a less advanced research algorithm than Google, that it's a bit like optimizing for the Google you remember from three years ago.
So, in summary, Bing's Places for Business can be worth the effort, especially if you have an aged site in a very specific field. It's not going to overtake Google any time soon, which doesn't come as a shock, but as part of a broader strategy, it has its small place.

Thank you for praying for the Emmanuel & Associates GO TEAMS this past summer and thanks to all those who trusted the Lord and joined one of our teams. Our GOSPEL OUTREACH TEAMS were truly blessed and also a great blessing to the believers at Minster Christian Centre in Cardiff, Prior's Park Chapel in Tewkesbury and Headley Park Church in Bristol as they labored together for the salvation of precious souls. There were many opportunities to share life changing truth with people as some indicated that they wanted to know Christ. Hopefully many others are on the journey that leads them to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior!

La Liga returned from the winter break last weekend. Barcelona capitalized on failures by their title rivals to move five points clear at the top of the table. Real Madrid needs a new inspiration because they lost at home against Real Sociedad to remain 10 points behind the Catalans. Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 away against Sevilla to stay second. Today, we want to look at six stars leading the Golden Boot race in Spanish La Liga this season.
6. Borja Iglesias- 9 Goals (2 Assists)
A por la siguiente ronda 💪🏽. Competimos contra un rival duro y nos llevamos la eliminatoria. #somhi #estonopara pic.twitter.com/im6yhHepIV
— Borja Iglesias (@BorjaIglesias9) December 5, 2018
The hottest young striker in Spain right now is no doubt RCD Espanyol attacker, Borja Iglesias. The 25-year-old will be a target for big teams if he continues scoring goals at the current rate. He has so far scored 9 goals and assisted 2 more in only 18 matches. Luis Enrique might need to take him on board and drop Alvaro Morata who is currently firing blanks for club and country.
5. Wissam Ben Yedder- 9 Goals (5 Assists)
Un resultado un poco decepcionante, pero muchas cosas buenas para recordar para empezar el 2019 #VamosMiSevilla #Miarma 🔥❤ @sevillafc 👨🏻👆🏻 pic.twitter.com/0pRhp58Wbr
— Wissam Ben Yedder (@WissBenYedder) January 6, 2019
Sevilla forward Wissam Ben Yedder was on target on Sunday against Atletico Madrid to take his season tally to 9 goals and 5 assists. The forward is always in the right place to score for his team. He has helped his team remain third on the table with 33 points.
4. Iago Aspas- 10 Goals (2 Assist)
| 👀 |
Take another look at former #LFC man, Iago Aspas, scoring his second goal of the game for Celta Vigo 😳
He's now scored 10 goals in #LaLiga this season 👏 pic.twitter.com/xSiMtnIwBG
— ELEVEN SPORTS UK (@ElevenSports_UK) December 3, 2018
Liverpool flop Iago Aspas continues to carry Celta Vigo on his back in La Liga. This season, he has scored 10 goals and assisted two more in 18 matches. His club form is so good that Luis Enrique could not ignore him anymore. He is now playing regularly for Spain.

Why Tobacco Companies Have Been A Good Investment
Some months ago I wrote an article about the historical performance of so-called "sin-stocks". Tobacco companies have performed the best in the US, and alcohol stocks in the UK. In this article I briefly argue for the reasons why and why they most likely continue to outperform. High margins and cashflows: Margins are very high. For example, 27% of theContinue reading

International Quiz Night
Tuesday 8 September will see the return of our International Quiz Night at Sway.
We know that our agents and educators really enjoy getting together at our networking events, and our informal Tuesday night party has always been really popular.
We'll again be taking 250 of our delegates to a restaurant and bar close to London's theatres and Covent Garden, for a relaxed (but competitive!) evening. We'll provide food and a welcome drink, and put you in teams for a fun pub-quiz style competition. They'll be prizes for the winners.
Then, when you're ready, you can catch one of our comfortable coaches back to the Hilton to get a good night's sleep before the following day's appointments.
We think it's going to be a great night and we'd love you to join us. It's a good idea to book as soon as possible, especially if you want to take part in the quiz, as numbers are limited. Details of how to book a place at the quiz will be sent to registered participants shortly.

The price of a kitchen rework will depend on three important components: the adjustments made, the supplies used and native labor costs (or more specifically, the payment of the contractor you hire to do the work). I had my kitchen finished in 2015 by a good kitchen design firm and paid in the 40K range and I take into account it to be a mid-worth vary kitchen. supplies cost guides, comparisons, and term cheatsheets for hundreds of reworking, set up and restore initiatives.
Cabinet Repairs: Even sturdy cabinets turn into damaged over time. This is going to offer a very accurate idea of the entire costs and the level of management you will have over undertaking. Until you intend to reside in your own home for the rest of your life or longer than 20 years, your potential ROI will affect your whole renovation cost.
I put in cherry wood cupboards build from a cabinet maker that is the place many of the price went along with electrician and plumber. The Cost Vs. Value report that the NAR commissions from Remodeling journal is way more accurate than this report. Those owners prepared to spend between $12,000 and $20,000 can afford a number of excessive-finish finishes as well as not worry about completing the project yourself.
In the event you spend lots of time within the kitchen cooking, cleaning, eating, interacting with the household or internet hosting social gatherings, it is worth the effort to transform the kitchen to suit your requirements. A smaller challenge between $10,000 and $15,000 could include painting walls, refacing cupboards, upgrading the sink, and installing a tile backsplash.
Nonetheless, that does not mean you should skip all reworking initiatives. The price of new cabinets varies relying on whether you opt for custom or inventory cabinets. Labor will eat anywhere from 20 to 35 percent of your undertaking costs. Then again, for those who drop $60,000 on a kitchen for a $300,000 house, you are doing it for love—not the cash you may get again while you sell.

Netiquette, simply defined, means etiquette on the Internet. In an online course, you will be speaking through writing both to fellow students and instructors. It is imperative to communicate well and professionally. The golden rule of netiquette in an online class or environment is, do not do or say online what you would not do or say offline.
- Be friendly, positive and self-reflective. When people cannot see you, and do not know you, feelings can be hurt if you are not careful how you express yourself. Think before you write. Do not respond when you feel angry. Wait. Write it down somewhere and come back to it. When you do, you may find that you no longer feel the same way, after you have had time to reflect. If you still feel the need to be heard, then take time to reread and rewrite it in terms that are easily embraced. When you feel a critique is necessary, express yourself in a positive tone.
- Use proper language and titles. Do not use "text" slang or even profane words in an online education environments they will likely sound offensive to the reader. Leave the characters like smiley faces, and instant message abbreviations out. They may be interpreted as childish or too casual for the online education environment. Do not refer to your professor as "Doc" or by his or her first name, unless it is acceptable with him or her to do so. Do not use caps lock when writing, as it insinuates yelling. Always say please and thank you.
- Use effective communication. This takes practice and thoughtful writing. Try to speak and write clearly at all times. Reread before you respond. Define and restate your words when necessary. Correct a misunderstanding right away. Be mindful of chosen words and joking.
- Ask for clarification. If you are unsure of what was said, or the instructor's directions, or are trying to interpret a person's expressions, then ask again. Do not sit in silence feeling confused or offended. A simple way to do this is to say (or write), "I did not understand...", always keeping the sense of the misunderstanding on yourself.

Notch wire element
The notch wire element is manufactured by wrapping specially treated thin stainless steel wire around the cylindrical filter frame. It has a simple structure and robust form, allowing very accurate setting of the filtering passage size. In addition, because the element is not subject to corrosion or deterioration, and impurities adhered to the element can easily be eliminated by backwashing or air blowing, the element requires no replacement and has a semi-permanent service life. Because of its high reliability, we also supply many elements of this type to the public sector, including the Ministry of defense and Japanese Coast Guard.
Feature1 Robust filter
Because a single notch wire is wrapped around a cylindrical filter frame, the element is very robust. For a wire mesh element, when the requirement for the filtration accuracy is high mesh, thin wire is used. This may cause problems for strength, which must be resolved by overlapping the wire mesh in many layers (multilayered structure). On the other hand, a notch wire element with a single-layer structure will attain the required strength.
Feature2 Accurate filtration size
A wire mesh element has filtration accuracy distribution as defined by the Japan Industrial Standard (JIS). On the other hand, a notch wire element makes it possible to manufacture a filter of the correct size. In addition, the filtration size will not be changed after element cleaning
Feature3 Ease of cleaning
Because of the single-layer structure of the element, impurities adhered to the element can be easily eliminated by air blowing, and the cleaning effectiveness can be visually checked. For this advantage, many elements of this kind are used in the sanitary (food) industry.
Feature4 Large passing area
A wire mesh element has a multilayered structure, resulting in reduced passing area. On the other hand, a notch wire element has a single-layer structure, making it possible to secure a large passing area.
Feature5 Versatile usage
The notch wire element is applicable to high viscosity fluid and the like under any specification conditions, including high temperature and high pressure.

baptize it in Jordan, for it will never become clean by bathing in the water of Da. mascus. There wants (methinks, but the conversion of that, and the Jews, for the accomplishment of the kingdom of Christ. And as men, before their receiving of the faith, do not without some carnal reluctancies apprehend the bonds and fetters of it, but find it afterwards to be the trueft and greatest liberty: it will fare no otherwise with this art, after the regeneration of it; it will meet with wonderful variety of new, more beautiful, and more delightful objects; neither will it want room, by being confined to heaven.
There is not fo great a lye to be found in any poet, as the vulgar conceit of men, that lying is essential to good poetry. Were there never so wholesome nourishment to be had.(but ala's ! it breeds nothing but diseases) out of these boasted feasts of love and fables; yet, methinks, the unalterable continuance of the diet should make us nauseate it: for it is almost impossible to serve up any new dish of that kind. They are all but the cold-meats of the ancients, new-heated, and new set forth. I do not at all wonder that the old poets made some rich crops out of these grounds; the heart of the soil was not then wrought out with continual tillage: but what can we expect now, who come a gleaning, not after the first reapers, but after the very beggars ? Besides, though those mad stories of the gods and heroes seem in themselves so ridiculous ; yet they were then the whole body (or rather chaos) of the theology of those times. They were believed by all, but a few philosophers, and perhaps fome atheists; and served to good purpose among the vulgar (as pitiful things as they are), in strengthening the authority of law with the terrors of conscience, and expectation of certain rewards and unavoidable punishments. There was no other religion; and therefore that was better than none at all. But to us, who have no need of them; to us, who deride their folly, and are wcaried with their impertinencies; they ought to appear no better, arguments for verse, than those of their worthy fucceffors, the knights-errant. What can we imagine more proper for the ornaments of wit or learning in the story of Deucalion than in that of Noah? Why will not the actions of Sampson afford as plentiful matter as the labours of Hercules? Why is not Jeptha's daughter as good a woman as Iphigenia ? and the friendship of David and Jonathan more worthy celebration than that of Theseus and Pirithous? Does not the passage of Moses and the Israelites into the Holy Land yield incomparably more poetical varicty than the voyages of Ulyffes or Æneas? Are the obsolete thread-bare tales of Thebes and Troy half so stored with great, heroical, and supernatural actions (fince verse will needs find or make such), as the wars of Joshua, of the Judges, of David, and divers others? Can all the transformations of the gods give such copious hints to fourish and expatiate on, as the true miracles of Christ, or of his prophets and apostles? What do I initance in these few particulars ? All the books of the Bible are either already most admirable and exalted pieces of poesy, or are the best materials in the world for it.
Yet, though they be in themselves so proper to be made use of for this purpose ; none but a good artist will know how to do it: neither must we think to cut and polish diamonds with so little pains and skill as we do marble. For, if any man design to compose a sacred poem, by only turning a story of the Scripture, like Mr. Quarles's, or some other godly matter, like Mr. Heywood of angels, into rhyme; he is so far from elevating of poesy, that he only abases divinity. In brief, he who can write a prophane poem well, may write a divine one better ; but he who can do that but ill, will do this much worse. The same fertility of invention; the same wisdom of disposition ; the same judgment in observance of decencies; the same lustre and vigour of elocution ; the fame modesty and majesty of number ; briefly, the same kind of habit, is required to both : only this latter allows better stuff; and therefore would look more deformedly, ill drest in it. I am far from assuming to myself to have fulfilled the duty of this weighty undertaking: but sure I am, there is nothing yet in our language (nor perhaps in any ) that is in any degree answerable to the idea that I conceive of it. And I shall be am. bitious of no other fruit from this weak and imperfe& attempt of mine, but the opening of a way to the courage and industry of some other persons, who may be better able to perform it thoroughly and successfully.
HE following Poems of Mr. Cowley being much enquired after, and very scarce
(the Town hardly affording one Book, though it hath been four times printed) we thought this fifth edition could not fail of being well received by the world. We presume one reason why they were omitted in the last collection, was, because the propriety of this copy belonged not to the same person that published those : but the reception they had found appears by the several impressions through which they had passed. We dare not say they are equally perfect with those written by the Au. thur in his riper years, yet certainly they are such as deserve not to be buried in obscurity We presume the Author's judgment of them is most reasonable to appeal to ; and you will find him (allowing grains of modesty) give them no small character. His words are in his Preface before his former published Poems*.
You find our excellent Author likewise mentioning and reciting part of these Poems in his " Several Discourses by way, of Essays in Verse and Profe, in the 11th Discourse " treating of himself." These we suppose a sufficient authority for our reviving them; and sure there is no ingenuous Reader to whom the smallest remains of Mr. Cowley, will be unwelcome. His Poems are every where the copy of his mind; so that by this supplement to his other volume you have the pictụre of that so deservedly eminent man from almost his childhood to his latest years, the bud and bloom of his Spring; the warmth of his Summer; the richness and perfection of his Autumn. But, for the Reader's further curiosity, we refer him to the Author's, following Preface to them, published by himself.
• See Author's Preface above, p. vii.
MIGHT well fear, left these my rude and unpolished lines should offend your committed by a Child, than cenfure them. Howsoever I desire your Lordship's pardon, for presenting things so unworthy to your view; and to accept the good-will of him, who in all duty is bound to be
Your Lordship's
most humble servant,
EADER (I know not yet whether gentle or no) fome, I know, have been
angry (I dare not assume the honour of their envy) at my poetical boldness, and blamed in mine, what commends other fruits, earliness: others, who are either of a weak faith, or strong malice, have thought me like a pipe, which nevers founds but when it is blowed in, od read me, not as Abraham Cowley, but Authorem Anonymum. To the first I answer, that it is an envious froft which nips the blossoms, because they appear quickly: to the latter that he is the worst homicide who strives to murder another's fame: 'to both, that it is a ridiculous folly to condemn or laugh at the stars, because the moon and sun shine brighter. The small fire I have is rather blown than extin. guished by this wind. For the itch of Poesy, by being angered, increaseth; by rubbing, spreads farther; which appears in that I have ventured upon this Third Edition. What though it be neglected ? It is not, I am sure, the first book which hath lighted tobacco, or been employed by cooks and grocers. If in all men's judgment it suffer fhipwreck, it shall something content me, that it hath pleased myself and the Book. seller. In it you shall find one argument (and I hope I shall need no more) to confute unbelievers : which is, that as mine age, and consequently experience (which is yet but little) hath increased, so they have not left my Poesy flagging behind them. I should not be angry to see any one burn my Piramus and Thisbe, nay, I would do it myself, but that I hope a pardon may easily be gotten for the errors of ten years age. My Constantius and Philetus confesseth me two years older when I writ it.
The rest were made fince, upon several occasions, and perhaps do not belye the time of their birth. Such as they are, they were created by me: but their fate lies in your hands; it is only you can effect, that neither the Bookfeller repent himself of his charge in printing them, nor I of my labour in compofing them. Farewel.

Tricks always not work but basic always. I have complete faith on it. Practice is the only key to success. Environment is just a factor. A regular test and proper learning improve your knowledge. Knowledge is power and power is knowledge. First read understand revise and self exam yourself. Honest with work and punctuality. If you are dedicated then no matter of IQ level and together we can prove it.
I am proficient in training of programming languages as well as I have well decorated teaching experience in teaching to school students.
My philosophy is based on the idea that learning happens in an environment of mutual respect in which the student is encouraged to think and make new connections for themselves. My experience has been that one to one personal tuition has a unique value to students because of the ability to resolve the student?s personal barriers to learn in a way that lays the foundation for a deep and lasting understanding of the subject.
Tutoring Approach :
Teach the student based on his/her capability and make them up to the level.
Ensuring that the student has completely captured the concept until then do not move to next topic.
For any confusion ask student why he had not able to solve it and aware him to not make such type of mistake in future.
Preparation of notes so that student would revise before the exam.
If any student has basic weakness then teaches them extra about basics.
Support to student about their time management and way of studying.
Always take feedback from student about teaching method.
Weekly review student about the progress.
Update student about anything new that is coming.
Ask student about the other things he is doing.
Organize test in a regular interval to get the real capability of student.

War Is Personal. Former US Army medic Michael Harmon, who shares a small apartment in Brooklyn with his mother, grandmother and stepfather, has suffered from severe anxiety attacks since returning from Iraq. By the end of 2009, over 4,300 men and women from US military forces had been killed and some 30,000 maimed or wounded since the beginning of the conflict in Iraq. The incidence of stress-related illness and military suicides was increasing.

|Issue Date:
|Wang, D. (2014). Search based face annotation. Doctoral thesis, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
|In the era of big data today, the rapid growth of facial images has posed a lot of research challenges and created a lot of opportunities for many real-world applications. An important emerging research problem in this area is automatic face annotation, which aims to automatically tag human names to a query facial image. Unlike conventional "model-based face annotation" techniques, some recent emerging studies have attempted to tackle this problem in the framework "Search-based Face Annotation" (SBFA), which mines massive web facial images that are freely available on the world wide web (WWW) by exploring content-based image retrieval (CBIR) techniques. Due to the noisy nature of web images, the raw labels of web facial images are often noisy, in which some facial images are associated with incorrect/incomplete names. Such kind of raw facial image database is referred to as "weakly labeled web facial image database" in this thesis. This thesis investigates a comprehensive framework of the "Search-based Face Annotation" paradigm, which in general consists of three main stages: firstly, given a query facial image, it typically involves a pre-processing stage, including face detection, face alignment, and facial feature extraction; subsequently, the input facial image is aligned into a consistent position and is represented as a feature vector in the facial feature space; second, it retrieves the top-ranked similar instances of the query facial image from a large-scale weakly labeled web facial image database using content-based image retrieval techniques; and thirdly, it names the query image by mining the top-ranked similar images and the corresponding weak label information. In this thesis, we mainly focus on tackling three open challenging tasks: (i) how to effectively enhance the initial weak name labels, (ii) how to effectively exploit a short list of candidate facial images and their weak label information for the face name annotation task, and (iii) how to effectively boost the annotation performance of SBFA problem by adopting sophisticated machine learning techniques in a unified framework. This thesis investigates a family of effective and efficient algorithms to tackle the aforementioned challenges. In particular, the main contributions of this thesis are listed as follows: (1) To enhance the initial weak label information, we propose an Unsupervised Label Refinement (ULR) approach by adopting graph-based learning techniques. An effective optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the large-scale learning task and a Clustering-based Approximation (CBA) algorithm is proposed to improve the system scalability. (2) To fully mine the top-ranked similar images and the corresponding weak label information, we proposed a Weak Label Regularized Local Coordinate Coding (WLRLCC) algorithm, which exploits the principle of local coordinate coding to learn more discriminative facial features for efficient label propagation in a sparse reconstruction scheme. (3) By combining two different learning scheme "transductive learning" and "inductive learning" in the same framework based on the entropy information, we further proposed a "Unified Learning Framework for Auto Face Annotation" (UTIL), which efficiently improve the annotation performance without introduce much training effort. (4) To go beyond the limitation of single facial feature representation and general Euclidean distance space, we proposed a multi-model based "Learn to Name Faces" (L2NF) algorithm, which optimize the fusion of multiple annotation modalities in a learning to rank framework. (5) Based on search-based face annotation framework, we built a real world demonstration system: FANS, which is available at http://msm.cais.ntu.edu.sg/fans. It can be used to predict the celebrity name, or find the most similar celebrity image of the query images. In addition to the website interface, we also deploy an Android APP for the mobile devices, which popularizes the usage of our system. This thesis has constructed an extensive set of experiments by evaluating the performance of the proposed techniques in comparison to the state-of-the-art methods on large-scale real-world facial image databases. Encouraging results illustrate that the proposed techniques significantly boost the state-of-the-art annotation performance for automated face annotation.

Prof. Zhou's Lecture-Cost-efficiency trade-off in neural connectivity and activity.
Cost-efficiency trade-off in neural connectivity and activity.
Prof. Changsong Zhou, Hong Kong Baptist University
9:30-10:30, August 5
The 1st meeting room, 3rd floor of Intelligence Building
If you want to attend it, please contact to Dr. Yong Liu by firstname.lastname@example.com
As an excellent functional system, brains are capable of computation and communication through efficient performance with low cost. However, how the cost-efficiency trade-off is achieved is not fully understood. We studied the evidence of the trade-off between cost and functional values in both neural connectivity and activity using computational modeling. For the connectivity, we considered the cortico-cortical projection network of Macaque and compared the real connectivity to optimally reconstructed networks under the constraints of wiring cost and processing efficiency. We showed that the connectivity could be maximally recovered with a proper trade-off between the constraints. For the activity, we studied the relationship between firing rate and the dynamical modes in neuronal network with a balance of excitation and inhibition. We found that in the biological parameter regime, the dynamics can provide maximal information capacity with the minimal firing rate (metabolic cost). Currently, we are studying the constructive integration of the network connectivity and activity in terms of cost-efficiency trade-off. Researches in this direction could provide a unified framework to understand the structure-dynamics-function relationship across different scales in the brain and inspire new tools for the analysis of multimodal experimental data in normal and abnormal brains.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – I'm wrapping up my time at Carolina's training camp. But I still have plenty of stuff for the coming days on the Panthers. Their Camp Confidential profile is scheduled to run Wednesday.
I have to make my way up to Charlotte to catch a flight home to NFC South Blog headquarters tonight. I'll get out to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers later this week and I'll head to New Orleans to see the Saints next week.
Before I travel, I'll leave you with some quick news and notes from around the division:
Although pass-rusher Shawne Merriman took to Twitter to lobby the Falcons to sign him, D. Orlando Ledbetter writes that it's unlikely Merriman will end up with Atlanta. I know fans get worked up about Merriman and other veterans. But the fact is the Falcons have high hopes for a lot of their young players. Their plan is to go with what they already have on their roster. The only way I see the Falcons adding any veterans is if they have some injuries.
Jonathan Jones writes that free-agent pickup Mike Mitchell has been making some noise at strong safety so far in camp. I saw Mitchell make several nice plays Monday morning. Mitchell's main competitor appears to be D.J. Campbell.
Outside linebacker Martez Wilson had to leave practice with an elbow injury. Coach Sean Payton said the injury didn't appear to be serious. But the Saints are a little thin at outside linebacker if Wilson has to miss any practice time. They already have lost Victor Butler to a season-ending injury. If Wilson is out for any extended period, rookie Rufus Johnson could get more work behind Will Smith and Junior Galette.
Cornerback Darrelle Revis got a planned day off as he continues his comeback from knee surgery. Receiver Mike Williams limped off the field with an apparent leg injury, but coach Greg Schiano indicated it was nothing serious.

Let Us Build Your Skateboard
Do you want Warehouse Skateboards to Assemble your Complete Skateboard?
This service includes:
Skateboard Hardware Sets
Skateboard hardware is used to connect the skateboard trucks to the skateboard deck. Skateboard hardware refers to the bolts and locknuts used when building a board. The bolts can have an Allen or Phillips head. Skateboard hardware comes in many different lengths, and often includes one different colored bolt so that the rider can mark the nose of their board.
Each skateboard hardware set includes 8 bolts and 8 locknuts needed to assemble one skateboard.
What size hardware do I need to put together my skateboard?
The width of your truck axle should closely match the width of your skateboard deck, usually within 1/4".
For additional info visit ourSkateboard Trucks Buying Guide
Truck height is measured from the bottom of the truck's baseplate to the center of the axle. In general, a mid-sized truck works well for most skateboarders, but high or low trucks may be preferred for different styles of skaters.
LO - Provides extra stability for flip tricks, designed for small wheels (50-53mm wheel size recommended).
MID - Good all-around profile for street or park (53-56mm wheel size recommended).
HIGH - Great for cruising and carving, designed for large wheels (56mm+ wheel size recommended).
The hanger is the truck's T-shaped aluminum alloy grind area. It makes direct contact with rails and curbs. The hanger holds the axle on which the wheels are mounted. Hangers weigh about 10-13 oz, with lighter ones available. The width of your truck axle should closely match the width of your skateboard deck, usually within 1/4".
Construction refers to the material(s) used in fabrication or the specific brand technology.
For additional info visit ourSkateboard Buying Guide
The average width of a skateboard deck is 7.5"- 8.25". Width is influenced by the size of the rider and the type of riding. Bigger riders and those skating ramps typically prefer a wider deck. Street skaters usually choose a smaller deck. Choose your skateboard deck according to the width, not length. Here are some general guidelines:
MICRO - Deck width: 6.75" or smaller - 5 years old or younger, under 3'4" tall. Size 3 shoes or smaller.
MINI - Deck width: 7.0" - 6 to 8 years old between 3'5" & 4'4" tall. Size 4-6 shoes.
MID - Deck width: 7.3" - 9 to 12 years old between 4'5" & 5'2" tall. Size 7-8 shoes.
FULL - Deck width: 7.5" or larger - for all skaters over age 13, taller than 5'3" with a shoe size of 9 or up.
7.5" to 8"Standard board for adult riders skating streets or doing more technical tricks
8.0" to 8.25"Skating pools, ramps and parks
8.25" and largerVert, pools, cruising and just going old school
Still having a hard time with size, try our Skateboard Sizer
For additional info visit ourSkateboard Decks Buying Guide
Deck type refers to the size or style (shape) of the skateboard deck. If you are a beginner, choose your deck according to the width, not the length. The width you need depends on your size, skating style and personal preference. Here are some general guidelines:
Cruisers, Old School, Freestyle, Longboard and Downhill all refer to a skateboarding style and the corresponding shape.
Length is measured from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. Average board length is 28"- 32" and longboards can range 32" and larger, but length is only referred to by advanced skaters.
Wheel size or diameter - All Skateboard wheels are measured in millimeters (mm). The smaller the number, the smaller the wheel. Smaller wheels are slower; bigger wheels are faster.
50-53mm - Small slower wheels, stable for trick riding and smaller riders skating street, skate parks and bowls.
54-59mm - Average wheel size for beginners and bigger riders skating street, skate parks, bowls and vert ramps.
60mm + - Specialty riders skating longboards, old-school boards, downhill and dirt boards; made for speed and rougher surfaces.
For additional info visit ourSkateboard Wheels Buying Guide
Durometer measures the wheel's hardness. Harder wheels are faster; softer wheels are slower but have better grip.
78a-87a - Soft wheel good for rough surfaces, longboards or street boards that need lots of grip and easier to roll over cracks and pebbles. Designed for a smooth ride cruising, longboards, hills and rough surfaces.
88a-95a - Slightly harder and faster with a little less grip, but the grip's still good. Street; rough surfaces.
96a-99a - Good speed and grip - an all-around wheel. Great for beginners skating street, skate parks, ramps and pools. Smooth surfaces.
101a + - Hardest and fastest wheel with the least grip. Ineffective on slick and rough surfaces. These are pro wheels.
83b-84b - Wheels using the B scale are extremely hard, measuring 20 points lower than the the A Scale in order to allow the scale to extend another 20 points for harder wheels.
The laws for skateboarding helmets vary from state to state. Many states require that skaters wear a helmet under a certain age, and some states like California make all skaters under 18 wear a CPSC Certified helmet at all times. CSPC skateboard helmets usually have an EPS protective liner that meets the safety standards for skateboarding. Make sure you check your state's regulations before ordering.
CPSC Certified Helmets: California requires that all skateboard helmets must meet the requirements of the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Section 890.4 of the Streets and Highways Code enforces these standards in California and will not allow Warehouse Skateboards to ship non-CPSC Certified helmets to California.
For additional info visit ourSkateboard Helmets Guide
Unsure of the size you need?
Visit our Clothing Sizing Charts
Most bearings are measured by an ABEC rating. The higher the ABEC rating, the more accurate and precise the bearing will be. This rating system includes grades 1,3,5,7 and 9. The closer you get to an ABEC 9 rating, the faster and less friction you will have when skateboarding.
Many companies do not use the ABEC rating scale. They brand their own specific technology.
For additional info visit ourSkateboard Bearings Buying Guide
Note: Each brands skateboard helmet size will vary; therefore, it is best to measure your head and refer to the sizing chart specific to each brand of helmet. In order to properly measure your head, follow these steps:
Wrap a soft tape measure around your forehead, just above your eyebrows and ears. Keep the tape measure level from the front to the back of your head. Your skateboard helmet should sit low on your forehead.
If you do not have a flexible tape measure, try marking a string and measuring it against a ruler.
If the helmet is a gift or you cannot measure the skater's head, measure the inside of a current helmet or hat they wear.
Within each skateboard helmet product page there are specific measurements for each skate brand. Use that information, along with your head size, to determine your correct helmet size before placing your order. This will ensure that you receive the best fit.

Refusing care for homes with pets?
I would like to ask a question, can a carer refuse to provide services to a customer because a customer has a cat or a dog in their property? Thank you.
Dear Susannah,
Thank you for your question.
Pets play a very important part in the lives of many elderly and frail individuals. For many older people a pet may well be the only company that person has apart from their carer during the course of a day.
If you have a problem with a particular pet, or if there is a very good reason why you cannot work with animals for instance an allergy or if the pet bites for instance then this is a matter that you should discuss with your manager.
It should not be a case of refusing, it should be a case of discussing any concerns that you have with your manager and finding an appropriate solution.
You should look at your contract of employment and I think that your Manager should also look at any contract that there is with the local Council.
It certainly would not be reasonable to expect you to work in a home if there was an unrestrained dangerous dog allowed to wander freely.
In a case that I was involved with before it was agreed that the pet should be kept in a separate room while the visit took place.
Best wishes.
