Months after Reversal of Zero Tolerance Policy, Family Separation Still Thrives
President of the United States, Donald Trump, signed an executive order on the 20th of June implying a backtrack from his highly controversial immigration enforcement policy tagged zero-tolerance policy. Zero tolerance policy empowers authorities to expose adults caught crossing the border illegally to criminal prosecution. The policy also allows authorities to separate such parents from their children.
A week after the president retreated from this policy, Dana M. Sabraw, a federal judge, ruled against the separations and called on the government to bring the affected families back together except in cases that pose a danger to the safety of the children.
It has now been revealed that immigrant families are being quietly separated at the border. Sometimes, the separation is based on unproven allegations of misconduct or insignificant violations. Catholic Charities lawyers have discovered at least 16 new separation cases over the past three months. Catholic Charities Lawyers provide legal services to the children of immigrants in government custody in New York. They claimed to have discovered these new cases chance as well as through looking into things after the placement of children in temporary foster care and homes with or without traces that they got to the border with their parents.
A Case At Hand
A Salvadoran father called ProPublica, in the latter part of last month, to report one of such separations. Julio, detained in South Texas, said a Customs and Border Protection agent took his four-year-old son from him after seeking asylum across the border. Reacting to the situation, Jodi Ziesemer, a supervising attorney at Catholic Charities, said she had no idea the boy was separated from his father.
These attorneys said Immigration Officials are taking advantage of any justification in their grasp to disqualify parents, with or without worthy proofs in their claim. They are equally empowered by an administration that does not totally shy away from family separation.

A Brutal Interpretation
Posted by defensebaseactcomp on May 29, 2009
TITAN CORPORATION Employer and
Appearances: Karl Bender, Esquire On behalf of Claimant
Roger A. Levy, Esquire On behalf of Employer/Carrier
Before: JANICE K. BULLARD Administrative Law Judge
By Peter Rousmaniere
`The following are important excepts from a very good post that you should read completely at the link above.
Taha had the good fortune of speaking English. When a chance arose in May to translate for the occupying troops, he grabbed it. And why not, when he could thereby earn $10 a day, over double his pay for driving a car? What difference did it make that American translators, working the same job, were earning $80,000, or 30 times his wages?Barely one month into his work for the Army, a bomb on July 22, 2003, tore off his legs. The Army medical corps stabilized him then flew him to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
Now to the claim:
She (Janice Bullard) dove into the Longshore Act and surfaced with this phrase between her teeth: The "average annual earnings" used to calculate Taha's income loss had to align with that of "other employees of the same or most similar class working in the same or most similar employment in the same or neighboring locality." All the parties in the suit agreed that Taha's work was identical to those of Americans earning vastly more than him. Notwithstanding that, the judge found that Taha's "similar class" comprised Iraqi nationals, even though Taha never had the opportunity to work at the income level of American colleagues.
"Accordingly," the judge wrote, "I find that the most reasonable measurement of claimant's age-earning capacity at the time of his injury was his actual wages of $10 per day." She affirmed AIG's weekly payment of $46.15, even as AIG continued to pay Taha's wife about $850 a week to care for him.

i am the author of the "brutal interpretation" column on the Taha case. I am a consultant on workers comp, write about work injuries, and want to write more about DBA claimants. I want to learn what is good and not so good about DBA. I am not an attorney (plain old MBA) and am not skilled at legal research. (For instance i'd love to get hold of the Taha files but do not know how. Atty Bender did not return my call.) My article audience is usually the 60,000 corporate and insurance readers of Risk & Insurance Magazine. I would appreciate advice, leads, and help from all who want DBA (and workers comp in general) to perform better.
I am now about the publish a series of articles on national guard members who return from war.

I would like to point out the obvious here! PTSD, what does that stand for? POST Traumatic Stress Disorder!
Okay, from what I was taught, POST, stands for AFTER.
It doesn't mean, "an hour after, a week after, it just means after". I am no rocket scientist, but I do think I have good common sense. Further more I think the general public would agree with me when I say that WE are all individual. Stress effects everyone differently. Now I believe that when a person is in a situation where it is very obvious that they could loose their life at any moment, it is not the same kind of stress that a person experiences in rush hour traffic. It is not only stress, it is FEAR! FEAR for ones safety. Fear that they will never see their loved ones again. I could go on………………There are numerous fears that can effect an individual in a life threatening situation. Some of those fears can paralyze a person emotionally and physically. Now think of the families back home that deal with the thought that any day they could get a phone call that their loved one was "blown up", "Shot by the enemy", or "Suffered a life changing injury". When that loved one is sent home, they will never again be the person that first stepped on that plane and left for Iraq. A stranger comes home and the family is left to wonder "Why?". Contractors don't receive the training that the Military does to be able to understand what they are about to experience. Even with the extra education and train that the military receives, look at all the mental injuries these soldiers suffer. Now, my common sense tells me that since the contractors work right in the midst of conflict with the military, wouldn't they suffer the same, if not more? The smoke that is being blown into everyones face is just that, smoke. Common sense will break through that smoke and expose these charlatans for who they really are. Do we want our future generation to look back and wonder why all the ignorance?

I have seen this ALJ in a hearing and read many of her very disturbing rulings. She should not be working for DOL and certainly not under Hilda Solis, who is trying to restore sanity to the DOL. Bullard is simply incompetant and bitter, and has a failing memory – perhaps well hardened arteries. She suffered some sort of trauma years ago which left her with a severe neck. injury. The bottom line is that she is a head case and never, never, never, never rules for the employee side and everyone at DOL knows it. As shocking as it sounds, I find it remarkable that she even awarded the tiny award here and not zero. Perhaps she was actually feeling sorry for someone with their legs blown off, or perhaps she believes that she needs to clean up her sadistic act under the Obama administration. If you ever get a case in front of her, settle for whatever you can because the appeal process, which will overturn her bogus legal conclusions, takes a very long time and is quite expensive.
December 3, 2009 at 10:21 am
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this judge with us.
We had high hopes for Hilda Solis but she prefers to pretend, at least publicly, that the DBA has no problems.
She refuses to meet or talk with us or the media though we have repeatedly asked her to do so.
Until she implements some CHANGE in the DoL we'll continue to see injustices of this nature.
And they are very difficult to overturn.
December 3, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Does it make anyone wonder "Who's" pulling Hilda Solis and Judge Bullard's strings? They are nothing but puppets, doing exactly what they are told like mindless drones. Just like all politicians who promise change and that they will fight for the people, Hilda Solis is no different. Once in office everything changes, they forget about the little people. Now they have their own power and they don't need our help getting there. I wonder? Did she ever intend to follow through with the promises she made? Or is she just another politician that spreads false hope?

I decided to run BI on this judge and learned that she sued over the test she took to become an administrative law judge. Apparently, things were not going to well for her as a NASA attorney filing claims against suppliers to the space agency who could not meet their deliveries. In a nutshell, she simply is not very bright, gets the law wrong all the time, and has a bad attitude towards just about everybody including co-workers where ever she works. They should fire her but probably will not because she will sue and make it expensive and difficult to get rid of her. Read this 200 case before the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for more information:

Though geraniums are known for being hardy and forgiving plants, many varieties cannot survive even a light freeze and are grown as annuals. Taking clippings from your garden geraniums in the fall is one of the best ways to ensure your favorite specimens will still be around in the spring. Taking cuttings from an overgrown indoor plant not only benefits the plant, but also provides you with stems to propagate and share with other geranium enthusiasts.
Allow geranium clippings to rest for two or three hours before planting them.
Rooting hormone is often used when rooting plant cuttings, but it is not typically necessary for rooting geraniums.

Unit 4: The Transport Layer (TCP/UDP)
When we talk about networks, we are talking about data transport. The TCP/IP stack provides a TCP/UDP layer that handles the data transport between machines across networks. In this unit, you will learn the TCP and UDP protocols by examining the structure of TCP and UDP segments and identifying how this layer serves as the application layer in the TCP/IP stack.
Each application relies on the transport layer that is described in this unit. It is a key layer in today's networks as it contains all the mechanisms necessary to provide a reliable delivery of data over any unreliable network. First, we will develop a simple reliable transport layer protocol. Then, your textbook links you through the details of the TCP and UDP protocols used in TCP/IP networks. We will also study Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) and Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP), which are not covered by the textbook. These protocols are the fundamental protocols for modern multimedia applications over the Internet.
Completing this unit should take you approximately 18 hours.

Optimization Tools for Building Energy Model Calibration

Different optimization tools have been developed to find the best trade-off between competitive goals. The optimization problem is typical of the design process, where different design solutions have to be compared to achieve one or more objectives, often in contrast with each other. A quite novel application of optimization is building energy model calibration. The use of well-calibrated energy simulation models is key for successful buildings' retrofit or operation management and the optimization techniques can improve the reliability of the results. The typical optimization method consists in the analysis of all the alternatives' performances, developing a full factorial plan and simulating all the possible options (brute-force approach). However, this process could take unsustainable long time. That is why some optimization tools, based on evolutionary algorithms have been developed to speed up the process. This study compares results obtained through the brute-force approach and the evolutionary optimization methods applied on the calibration of a large educational building model located in the province of Treviso, north of Italy. The total design space consists of about 72 000 EnergyPlus building models. Two optimization-based calibrations have been repeated using a genetic algorithm by means of jEPlus+EA on a local computer and through parametric simulations implemented by jEPlus on a cloud service. The quality of results from the evolutionary optimization tools as compared to a full parametric study applied on calibration have been discussed. Scenarios of applicability are drafted. On a practical level, the research is a contribution for the selection of methods and tools for the preparation of models that can lead to optimized retrofit interventions and rationalization of building management and operation.

Your Opinion on Coercion in the Romance Genre
As I have observed the #ME TOO movement this past year, and as a woman who was catcalled and even assaulted in my youth, I have been struck while reading when heroes pursue/coerce the heroine even when she says no, even when she is into someone else, even when she wants to pursue a lifestyle that doesn't include marriage. "Heroes" still wear the reluctant woman down through persistence, mansplaining and even by gas lighting their heroines. The heroine may have expressed attraction so that gives the hero the green light, right?
I read a great number of steamy and erotic romance novels; a genre with a greatly female demographic, written and edited more often than not by women.
I sometimes want to scream – she said no asshole, leave her alone! As romance novels often encourage transference in the reader, a novel with a coercive man, determined to get his woman, usually into the marital bed, can leave me feeling used and a little angry.
I recently read a book where the hero is hired to prevent a woman from running off with a man simply after her money. Somehow it transpires that he will have to ruin her and get her to marry him to protect her. Please, save us from men who know what's best for us.
When the coercion is not necessarily full-court press, it is still sometimes the male character seducing a woman because he knows what she wants. He wears her down like an obnoxious boss. And, then of course she realizes her is right: she does want him! Lucky girl finding a man who knows her better than she knows herself.
Is it the "Me Too" of publishing. But it's not the male producer, the boss, or the President whose doing wrong; female characters are being sexually abused by their creators via their love interests.
I am not going to call anyone in particular out. It is likely the writers are, in most cases, just writing to a societal norm. But that's the excuse we see often: Everyone does it. If "everyone" does it, if they really don't realize it, is it wrong. What if it is part of the culture, or a sub-set thereof, what if it is inadvertent? When we read it in all these books, does it influence how women, feel about how we are treated, approached, objectified, exploited? Does it influence reporting or even how we feel about being coerced?
I get that anything can be, should be written about, but when the book ends is the coercive guy the hero or the anti-hero?
Some of my questions are:
Does what a one love-interest does to another love-interest in a romance novel matter?
Should we ask more of our authors than portraying a coercive relationship as okay?
Does it influence reporting or even how we feel about being coerced?
When does "No" mean no for us? Why can it be sexy to read about it in a book, but cause problems for men in real life.
In general, what do you think about this? Do you notice it, does it bug you?

Is Jasin's MP Datuk Mohd Said CLOWNING? Under INVESTIGATION, making EXPOSE to cover his BUTT or just ASKING for MORE trouble.
"This is of public interest," he said "Public revenue has been lost. Unlike in my sawn timber case, there was no loss of revenue as the timber did not involve any tax. Government had nothing to lose in that case."
If you believe him!
Commenting on the issue, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said "MPs should not be denied the right to speak up in Parliament on any matter, as they are covered by parliamentary privilege"
Datuk Mohd Said is under investigation for his "one eye closed" encounter with the Customs people recently. The panel of four ministers conducting an inquiry into the actions of Datuk Mohd Said Yusuf, who is alleged to have interfered in the duties of the Royal Malaysia Customs over imported timber from Indonesia, has deferred making a decision on the case.
The panel, which was headed by Deputy Prime Minister and Barisan Nasional chief Whip in Parliament, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, took the step as it did not want to prejudice investigations by the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) and the police regarding the case.
"We have recorded all testimonies needed and decided that, because certain agencies are investigating the honourable MP from Jasin, it is not appropriate for us to make a decision and announce it now," Najib said.
He said: "Doing so (announcing a finding) could affect the investigations being conducted by the ACA and police. So, it's better for us to wait until their probes are completed and until then we are deferring making any decision on the matter relating to the Jasin MP."
Besides hearing what Mohd Said had to say, the panel also recorded statements from Melaka Customs director Md Hashim Pardi and an enforcement officer from the department in separate sessions. The overall inquiry lasted about 90 minutes.
The other members in the panel were Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy, Works Minister Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Mohd Nazri Aziz. They are the BN's deputy Whips.
Mohd Said is said to have asked an officer from the agency "to close one eye" on an illegal consignment of logs that had been brought in from Indonesia by a timber importer friend.
The Customs officer involved was reported to have refused to do so.
Now he is hitting back to distract the publ;ic. Perhaps with his disclosure that claimed the Customs Department had removed luxury cars, which should have been on the auction block, and privately sold them under special deals to friends, contacts at palaces and government departments. It was to please the buyers for specific reasons or curry favor to obtain honorifics like Datukships.
But he is asking for more trouble even though the Deputy Premier said he has the right to make the accusation as an MP.
Now read on what the Sun says; Talk is cheap, YB; Updated: 02:40PM Fri, 30 Jun 2006
Talk is cheap. And it's made even cheaper when members of parliament (MP) such as Jasin's Datuk Mohd Said Yusof can publicly accuse the Customs Department of corruption, assert that he has proof, and yet declare that he will not lodge a report with the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA).
Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, Mohd Said accused senior Customs officers of selling seized luxury cars to highly-placed contacts at below market value.
Everyone knows of this abuse and many have complained to him but when pressed by the media outside the Dewan Rakyat, Mohd Said told reporters to look for the evidence instead.
If he already has proof to back his allegations, why wouldn't he lodge a report and provide the ACA with the evidence in hand? Why ask the media to re-invent the proverbial wheel if he already has information that could lead to corrupt officers being held accountable?
Any MP who acts in this way is clearly derelicting his or her responsibilities as a citizen and duties as an elected representative of the people.
What's more, Mohd Said's accusations and refusal to use the proper mechanism really smacks of an attempted retaliation against the Customs Department, especially since he is being investigated for having told the department to "close one eye" over the import of restricted sawn timber that his company was handling.
The Customs Department should be investigated, just as any other government agency or individual should, if there is evidence of corruption.
But it is incumbent on those who have proof to hand it over in the interest of promoting a corruption-free culture.
What a shame it is when personalities like MPs, who should be setting an example, are incapable of acting responsibly and ethically.
and from the Star, Lodge report, MP advised; By IZATUN SHARI Friday June 30, 2006
KUALA LUMPUR: Jasin MP Datuk Mohd Said Yusof, who has accused certain top Customs officials of selling seized luxury cars to their friends in the palace and government offices, should make an official report on his allegations, according to Finance Ministry parliamentary secretary Datuk Hilmi Yahya.
"I have never heard of such practice. I am confident that Customs officials are following procedures," Hilmi told reporters at Parliament. "But if the Jasin MP has accurate information on the alleged practice, he should lodge a report.
"The ACA will investigate. We (in the Government) are transparent."
Hilmi was commenting further on claims by Mohd Said that the officials had abused their power by selling cars meant for open auction to royal friends in return for Datukships.
Customs director-general Datuk Abdul Rahman Abdul Hamid has since denied the allegations, which Mohd Said made during a parliamentary session on Wednesday.
His men handled seized cars according to stipulated procedures, Abdul Rahman said.
At Parliament, Hilmi had replied that some of the cars put up for public auction were in poor condition.
Yesterday, he said confiscated cars were disposed of through a tender process and action could be taken against officials who did not follow procedures.
He added that confiscated cars could not be sold below the reserved price fixed after the Public Works Department had assessed them. Hilmi said anyone could buy the cars, including government officials, but they had to go through the tender process.
Mohd Said said he had not received any call from the ACA following news reports of his allegations.
"I am willing to extend my cooperation if they call me."
Commenting on the issue, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said MPs should not be denied the right to speak up in Parliament on any matter, as they are covered by parliamentary privilege.
He added, however, that the Barisan Nasional would have to make a decision against any of its MPs who makes baseless allegations.
Najib, who is Barisan chief whip, said that unless Mohd Said is disqualified as an MP, for whatever reason, he has the right to speak in Parliament.
"If an MP makes an allegation and the allegation is not confirmed and baseless, it is not wrong for him legally. It's a matter for the party to decide," he said after chairing a Cabinet committee meeting on AIDS at his office here yesterday.
When pointed out that such accusations could affect the credibility of the department, Najib said a number of MPs had made allegations that were not supported by facts.
and lastly from NST: Jasin MP yet to lodge graft report against Customs; 30 Jun 2006 By V.Vasudevan
KUALA LUMPUR: Jasin MP Datuk Mohd Said Yusof has not lodged an anti-corruption report against the Customs Department over an alleged improper sale of confiscated cars.
And, judging from his statement yesterday, he is not likely to.
"In my case, somebody lodged a report against me at the ACA. I am sure someone could do the same in this case," said Mohd Said, who is under investigation for asking the Customs Department to close an eye over the import of sawn timber.
He had on Wednesday claimed the Customs Department had removed luxury cars, which should have been on the auction block, and privately sold them under special deals to friends, contacts at palaces and government departments. It was to please the buyers for specific reasons or curry favour to obtain honorifics like Datukships.
"This is of public interest," he said to reporters outside Parliament yesterday.
"Public revenue has been lost. Unlike in my sawn timber case, there was no loss of revenue as the timber did not involve any tax. Government had nothing to lose in that case."
In the case of the luxury cars, he said the Government was looking at a substansial loss as a car pegged at RM200,000 was being sold at RM40,000.
Finance Ministry parliamentary secretary Datuk Hilmi Yahya, who was also approached by reporters outside Parliament, said Mohd Said should lodge a report if he had sufficient information or proof.
"The ACA will investigate. We (the Government) are transparent," he told reporters at Parliament lobby.
Hilmi reiterated that confiscated cars were disposed of through the tender process and action could be taken against officials who did not follow the procedures.
He said that confiscated cars could only be sold by open auction and they could not be sold below the reserved price fixed after the cars were assessed by the Public Works Department.
Hilmi said anyone could buy the cars, including government officials
"But they had to go through the tender process. The cars are offered to top government officials but they too have to go through the procedure.."
Since January, he said, 58 confiscated luxury cars worth over RM8mil had been disposed off by the Customs through the auction process.

Austerity Capitalism Not for the Rich
Are we all in it together?
In these austere times, David Cameron tells us we are all in it together. Well the working class have always led austere lives; but not the rich, not the friends of Mr Cameron in the City and those attending smart Downing Street dinners the 250k club of rich Tory donors. They do not live in austerity capitalism with its exploitation, rising homelessness, degrading assessments for people on disability and sick benefits, sink estates, poverty, charity food parcel centres and ubiquitous high levels of unemployment.
Security and the Rich
Of course being rich and privileged comes with its problems like the question of security. A security protection industry for the rich has mushroomed over the last fifty years in order for the wealthy to hold on to their social wealth and is worth millions a year; gated communities, security systems, surveillance cameras, bullet proof cars, bank vaults, secure basement accommodation to house private art collections, body guards and in the case of Abramovichs yacht an anti-air to air missile system.
The Failure of Economic Policies
And what can be said of Camerons own economic policy? It has been an utter failure. Not only has the budget deficit risen to pay for expenditure like unemployment benefits and loss of revenue from taxation but the economic depression continues; Plan A has become Plan A1 and now it is Plan A3 as a double-dip recession looks like becoming a treble dip recession.
Abolition of the Wages System
Here are some other highly placed capitalists in the SUNDAY TIMES RICH LIST who will not be finding it hard to make ends meet in austerity Britain. The three top places in the list were dominated by foreign-born capitalists with a base in Britain who made billions from resource-based industries such as minerals, steel and oil. Lakshmi Mittal is still Britains richest capitalist despite losing almost a quarter of his wealth over the past year following a fall in the share value of his company Arcelor Mittal, the worlds largest steelmaker. The Indian-born capitalist saw his personal worth fall by 4.8 billion pounds to 12.7 billion pounds, but still enough to keep him narrowly on top of the list.

To experience quality sleep every time you go to bed, it is important to invest in a good mattress. It is an important item of furnishing your bedroom. Thanks to modern technology, there are many brands and designs of mattresses today. Some of these are sold in brick and mortar establishments while others are sold on the Internet. While you can test out a physically accessible mattress by lying on it, it is impossible to do so with online mattresses. To help you pick one that satisfies your needs, there is a website known as Real Mattress Reviews. Read on to learn about its content.
About this website
Real Mattress Reviews is a website which is maintained by Ross and Kayla. They have worked in the mattress industry for over 10 years. Therefore, they have experience in spotting and identifying the characteristics of a mattress. They understand that it is quite difficult to pick a mattress due to the many brands that are available in our stores and online e-commerce platforms. Therefore, they developed this website to give reviews of mattresses, bedding and even post mattress comparisons. Here is a comparison of two brands, .
Casper vs Nectar Mattresses
Casper was one of the first mattress brands to emerge in online stores. They provided quality products that quickly grabbed a market share. On the other hand, Nectar is a new mattress brand. Their products were of good quality but the company initially could not satisfy demand due to lack of inventory. However, they have recovered and now provide these products in such a way that they can satisfy demand.
Nectar is a mattress brand whose products are known to have good build quality for their price. In addition to that, the company has a long trial period and provides a warranty on its products. Therefore, Nectar provides products for customers who focus on good quality at affordable prices.
Casper mattresses are known for remaining cool throughout the night. This is because of their construction method. Products from this brand have a latex top and a memory foam on the bottom. As a result, they are able to disperse heat easily. Thus, the company provides products for clients who are sensitive to changes in temperature.
There are some clients who prefer tempurpedic mattresses. Nectar mattresses satisfy this desire. On the other hand, Casper mattresses can handle various sleeping positions. There are people who sleep on their backs, others on their sides and others on their tummies. Products from this company allow for multiple sleeping positions. Therefore, they have good body conformance. Depending on what one is looking for, they can choose between Nectar and Casper mattresses.
Real Mattress Reviews has reliable reviews. They are made using firsthand experience of lying on the mattresses. Rob and Kayla sleep on these products for at least a week before posting any review about them. As such, the comparisons such as caspervs nectar are reliable.

Uses for Fill Dirt: Dirt can be used in a variety of construction and landscaping applications and is most commonly used to fill in a hole or depression in the ground. It can also be used to level out uneven property or to build up particular areas, as needed.
Fill dirt is comprised of subsoil (the layer below the nutrient-rich topsoil) and is primarily devoid of organic matter. This is a good thing when it comes to filling in areas in the ground, since organic materials decompose over time which can lead to settling and sinking as empty pockets are created. The dirt is typically excavated from construction sites, where it is removed when leveling an area in preparation for a project. Dirt fill may contain rocks, stones and sand in addition to earthy material, but screened dirt removes objects over a certain size to ensure more uniformity. Unscreened dirt, on the other hand, may have larger rocks and stones in the mix.
If you are embarking on a landscaping or construction project that requires the filling in of holes, leveling off of property or building up of a specific area, it's important to use clean fill dirt to do the job right. Our dirt calculator can help you determine how much dirt to buy to meet your coverage requirements and we offer delivery in bulk of dirt fill for projects requiring over 168cubic yards.

Breaking news reaching our news desk today, is that JAMB has fixed 2019 cut off marks for Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) conferred on Tuesday, and officially fixed the cut-off marks for admission into higher institutions of learning for the 2019/2020 academic session.
The board came to this fixed cut off mark for 2019 at their last policy meeting. This policy meeting is held Yearly to ascertain the cut off marks for admission into Nigerian institutions.
This meeting was held with the heads of Nigeria academic institutions and other education regulatory bodies in FCT Abuja, where the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board confirmed and approved 120 as the minimum mark for degree-awarding academic institutions.
The meeting which was held at the National Judicial Institute, in the capital city of Nigeria, Abuja, had in attendance vice chancellors, Rectors, Provosts and Registrars of tertiary institutions.
However, for polytechnics, the minimum mark required for admission of candidates into Polytechnics is set at 100, while the highest that an institution can fix is 180. The same mark applies to Colleges of Education.
This is to officially cement the fact that almost all candidates who sat in the just concluded JAMB test, are qualified for admission into their chosen institution. Please take note that the admission cut-off mark for Innovative Enterprise Institutions ranges between 110 and 120.
According to the current JAMB Registrar, Prof. Isiaq Oloyede, who said that leading academic institutions VC wherein attendants and all agreed to this cutoff marks. The registrar also pointed out that the newly agreed marks would over-ride the previous marks submitted by the institutions.
Professor Oloyede went further to warned that the JAMB board would not allow any academic institution to go below the endorsed and confirmed marks in their admission process.
The JAMB registrar however disclosed that the reduction in the 2019/20 admission cut-off marks does not portend any danger for the Nigeria education standard and does not translate it to a fall in education standard.
The JAMB registrar said the decisions on first choice candidates by degree awarding universities would end on the 15th October, while the second choice candidates would end on the 15th of December, after which the remaining students will be available in the market place for other institutions till January closing date.
Prof. Oloyede also disclosed that a Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) would be used to streamline admission processes among institutions offering admission to candidates in 2019, as it addresses challenges associated with the former approach.
He said and I quote below:
"We should not be emotional in fixing Nigeria Universities cut-off mark; we need not over-dramatise issue such as cut-off mark. "In order to enhance transparency in our educational sector, no automated admission for those without the necessary requirements will be tolerated by the board."
Speaking on the cancellation of POST UTME, the Registrar said the cancellation of post-UTME was a mistake, urging JAMB to ensure that fee for the examination should not exceed any below Two thousand Naira (N2,000).

text: Innovation needs protection to thrive Written by: Paul Fanning | Published: 12 March 2018 How true ,yes an inventor needs ultra-protection after all he or she is the receptacle or conduit ... Posted by: Simon Carrington 14/03/2018 Read More Comment on this article As modern British innovators go, it is fair to say that Trevor Baylis CBE perhaps exemplified a certain archetype. With his invention of the wind-up radio, he perfectly represented the independent, self-motivating – perhaps idiosyncratic – inventor and rose to deserved fame as a result. However, his recent death has also thrown into focus one of the most pressing issues facing those who innovate: the need to protect their inventions. The sad fact is that, to the end of his life, Mr Baylis struggled with imitators, even going so far as to suggest that patent infringement be made an imprisonable offence. Certainly, he never saw the rewards that many felt his inspiration merited.The problem, of course, is that protection of intellectual property (IP) remains to a large extent a rich man's game. The sheer amount of money required to protect an invention is effectively prohibitive as far as the lone inventor with no corporate backing is concerned. The result is that IP cases can have an unfortunate tendency to go not to those with the best claim, but to those with the deepest pockets.As well as celebrating his inventions, then, it is perhaps also fitting to regard as part of Mr Baylis' legacy a salutary reminder of the difficulties that face innovators in trying to protect and capitalise on their ideas.Contact Paul: email - firstname.lastname@example.com line - 01322 221144 mobile - 07967169002 This material is protected by MA Business copyright see Terms and Conditions.

Subir Nandi
Subir Nandi's expertise in singing and performing on stage was proved once again in the Pabna Edward College Auditorium as he performed in front of an overflowing audience on the 30th of May, 2011 at the Pabna District Festival for the Celebrating Life Competition. The performer went on to prove his dedication to as to how he went on stage after only an hour's rest after a long tiring journey to attend the function.

Amongst all the songs that I have listened to, by various different artistes, since childhood, whether I understood them or not, I have always been fond of Subir Nandi's works. As far as I remember, he has never performed anything for the sake of performance; rather his works have always portrayed him giving his best to the audience. The songs he has performed over the years are both rich in lyrics and music, but that does not mean that he performs for only the enlightened in the field rather he makes things simple enough, keeping intact his sense of quality of art, for the general people so that they may understand and grasp his performances. His greatness goes to show how he is ever conscious of the quality of work that he always presents. Over the decades Subir Nandi has never fallen below his potential and has maintained the high bar he has set for himself. This he has achieved not by performing as much as he can or whatever has been thrown at him, but by being selective enough in performing only what would be best for the audience and himself.
Subir Nandi and Mohammad Rafiquzzaman on stage at Celebrating Life Festival at Pabna on 30 May 2011
Subir Nandi works in the media for the television, radio and the silver-screen. Even through his extensive busy schedule, he maintains his standards and finds it not to be an option for his work to deteriorate. He believes in being selective of what he does so that it always holds meaning. And that is the reason why he has never fallen off from the level he has achieved in life. It is rare to find examples given by people of songs performed by celebrated and the most popular of artistes, but the same will be able to identify Subir Nandi for his works without much difficulty. This comes from the attribute of him being strong in his principles of performing songs not for the sake of just performing, but to portray the best of quality and meanings underlying in the performances. That is the reason why, not only his fans, but people who generally listen to music can name scores of his songs without difficulty and not be able to name even a few songs performed by other popular artistes. Popular performers have always come and gone, but Subir Nandi has remained and become a living legend in his field.
His expertise in singing and performing on stage was proven once again in the Pabna Edward College Auditorium as he performed in front of an overflowing audience on the 30th of May, 2011 at the Pabna District Tour for the Celebrating Life Competition. The performer went on to prove his dedication to as to how he went on stage after only an hour's rest after a long tiring journey to attend the function. The auditorium has a maximum comfortable capacity of 3,000 people when sitting down on benches. The turn out was at least double that amount. People were cheering the singer on for more and kept demanding performances by calling out the names of the songs.
What had surprised me was how the audience had proven the general idea of people wrong. People say that the turn out at such functions depend on the popularity of the performer. Subir Nandi is definitely known all around, but maybe not as popularly as others. And that is where the anomaly had surfaced; the audience was overwhelming not only in the number of turnout, but how they showed their undying thirst for good quality music. And why wouldn't they? The other thing that surprised me was how Subir Nandi has a fine tuned voice, how he handles it through modulating and projecting it in his performances to make them more intimate to the audience, and how he captivated them at every moment without all the jazzed-up stage antiques used by much more popular and younger artistes. I personally think new upcoming artistes and even those in the field for long can draw examples and learn from the experience and these mentioned attributes of this veteran singer to better their skills. And I think, being the exemplary person that Subir Nandi is, he will not deny anyone of help in these matters.
The art of singing is a form of spiritualism. This was shown not only in his performance but how the audience had reacted with Subir Nandi's every move. When people whistle, it is viewed upon with scorn and disdain. But when the audience was whistling during his performances, there was nothing but reverence and appreciation in their eyes. They were all swaying to the music, as if the singer had spread serenity through into their hearts. They were all clapping with every beat, resounding and making it more profound. I believe Subir Nandi to have reached a level of spiritualism through his singing of music, through his practice of music, and through his love for music. The audience had proved it as they all stood up in standing ovation when he stood up to show their respect for this performer. I don't know if he believes the same as me, but he can truly take music to another dimension through his spiritualism preserved in the art.
Celebrating Life is proud to work with celebrities such as Subir Nandi. The winners of Celebrating Life Lyric's Contests are featured in Celebrating Life District Festivals and Concerts throughout Bangladesh. Celebrating Life 2011's submission deadline is close by.

Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) and Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) have signed an agreement for the launch of an SS/L manufactured satellite aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 as early as 2012. For this mission, Falcon 9 will launch from the SpaceX launch site at Cape Canaveral and insert the satellite into a geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO).
Space Systems/Loral is the world's leading provider of GEO commercial satellites with 40 percent of the high-power market since 2004. The company has an international roster of blue-chip customers, and its 1300 model satellite is a decades-proven, modular platform with the industry's highest power capability and the flexibility to support a broad range of applications including high definition television and broadband.
"SpaceX is proud to be selected by Space Systems/Loral as they are one of the premier manufacturers of commercial satellites and the industry leader in satellite sales," said Gwynne Shotwell, President of SpaceX. "With 24 Falcon 9 flights now on manifest, SpaceX has established itself as an excellent partner for both commercial and government customers, and we look forward to supporting Space Systems/Loral on this launch."
"Like SS/L, the SpaceX team is committed to flawless performance and reliability,†said John Celli, president of Space Systems/Loral. "We are working closely with SpaceX to ensure the success of a 1300 launch based on our many years of experience. With numerous Falcon 9 launches on their manifest over the next two years, we are assured of a successful flight history in advance of our mission.â€
SpaceX's Falcon 9 is a medium-to-heavy lift, two-stage launch vehicle capable of lifting approximately 11 tons to low Earth orbit (LEO) and in excess of 4.5 tons to GTO. Designed to the highest levels of reliability and performance, Falcon 9, along with SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, were selected by NASA to resupply the International Space Station starting in 2010.
About SpaceX
SpaceX is developing a family of launch vehicles and spacecraft intended to increase the reliability and reduce the cost of both manned and unmanned space transportation, ultimately by a factor of ten. With the Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 vehicles, SpaceX offers highly reliable/cost-efficient launch capabilities for spacecraft insertion into any orbital altitude and inclination. Starting in 2010, SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft will provide Earth-to-LEO transport of pressurized and unpressurized cargo, including resupply to the International Space Station.
Founded in 2002, SpaceX is a private company owned by management and employees, with minority investments from Founders Fund and Draper Fisher Jurvetson. The SpaceX team now numbers more than 900, with corporate headquarters in Hawthorne, California. For more information, please visit the company's web site at www.spacex.com.

Mineski, Vici Gaming & Newbee haved secured their spots in the most prestigious Dota 2 tournament of the year: The International 8, after locking in top 8 at the Dota Pro Circuit standings.
The Dota Pro Circuit system, introduced a year ago by Valve, is a structure where teams receive points based on their tournament finishes throughout the years.
As the remaining teams in the Dota Pro Circuit standings aren't able to score enough points to knock these three teams out of the top 8, they have safely secured themselves in the biggest Dota 2 tournament of the year.
Currently, 7 teams have been confirmed by the DPC system with the last ticket to The International 8 still up in the air as two teams, VGJ.Thunder & OpTic Gaming, are still in the running for the last spot.
The ongoing China Dota 2 Supermajor will determine the final contender to TI 8 as it is the last tournament to offer DPC points before the big event that is hosted at Vancouver this year.
Additionally every TI hosts another grouping of teams through open qualifiers which is an open opportunity for younger and fresher teams to earn themselves a spot in the big event, but they have to do it the hard way by qualifying through their own respective regional qualifiers across the next month. The qualifiers will feature plenty of big names this time around such as Evil Geniuses, TNC Pro Team and VGJ.Storm, all needing to play the regional qualifiers in order to make it into TI 8.
TNC Pro Team will definitely be happy to hear about Mineski's direct invite to TI 8 as it will mean that the Filipino team will have less competition at the regional qualifiers.
For most players, not playing at The International would equal them wasting their year at competitive Dota. Therefore, we can expect a high level of competition from these players as their whole year will be on the line.

I always thought of myself as a city-girl from Baltimore, struggling to learn the ways that come naturally to Mark and my rural friends… gardening, dressing meat/fish, baking from scratch, making homemade granola, yogurt and salsas. I now do all of the above, yet haven't tried canning or raising animals (geckos excepted)… yet. It is all a fun challenge and a great way to feel self-sufficient so I am slowly settling into country-life ~ on a boat.
That said, Mark and I both have always loved a good city fix throughout our time together, originating in San Francisco ~ including some faves New York, London, Paris, Granada, Shanghai, Cartagena, Panamá, Guatemala, Cusco…& Halifax!
Whereas we travel to see the world on Reach, the world comes to YOU in a city. I love walking the streets in anonymity, admiring signs, shapes and structures, settling into a coffee shop, people watching, sampling the local cuisine and formulating the personality of a given city.
When Roam arrived at the Halifax city docks there was a Jazz Festival to the right, a Farmer's Market to the left and Breweries in every direction. We took advantage of all of these activities in the long weekend we were there.
A steady stream of pedestrians walked by the docks, often stopping to say hello, many adorned with colorful hair (green, red, purple, blue), and a majority sporting maple leaf logos of some sort! We had our own, personal busker at the end of the dock and we gave her a loonie or two. She later turned up playing at the brewery that night and the Farmer's Market the next morning... as did we.
The Jazz Festival had free acts during the day and paid concerts at night. We went to check it out both days. Some performers we really enjoyed, in particular an Acadian-style bluegrass with trumpet/fiddle combo, a vocal jazz band with a great repertoire and a Cuban, high-energy family project.
In a wonderful coincidence, the precise weekend we were in the city, friends James & Dody (Karma I) were there for a family wedding and they invited us to the wedding after-party. We were in true city-mode by now so we went bar-hopping with Clark & Michelle. It was waaay past our bedtimes, but Mark & I rallied, danced and wandered amongst the crowds (pictures already getting blurry…) until the wedding party showed up around 11 PM.
It is always so heartwarming to reunite with cruising friends with whom you've shared joyous and/or trying experiences. In our cases it was the latter, as Reach and Karma I were on the gritty hard three years ago in Guatemala in full blown project-mode. James and Dody have a wonderful family, gave us lots of Nova Scotia love and it was great to see them again! It was a short but sweet reunion; we hope to run into them "out there" again.

Warren East halts winless Warren Central, 33-0
Warren East righted the ship on Thursday evening, bouncing back from two straight losses of less than three points by storming onto Joe Hood Field and taking down Warren Central 33-0.
The Raiders came out on fire, putting up 23 points in the first quarter while keeping the Dragons out of the end zone – and for the most part, the red zone – all night long.
"I'm happy for our kids. It's a good way to start off fall break," Warren East head coach Jeff Griffth said. "We got a good win tonight after two tough losses to some really good football teams."
Much of the credit went to the emergence of freshman quarterback Nolan Ford in place of Dwayne Cook, who missed his second straight game on Thursday evening with a broken jaw.
Ford completed 11-of-19 passes on the evening for 140 yards, including a 56-yard touchdown toss to Thomas Maxey.
"[Nolan] has really come along in a very short period of time," Griffith said. "When we had to throw him to the wolves against Glasgow, he wasn't really prepared for what we expected out of him, and that was our fault. The last two weeks, he has really gone to work and I was really impressed by what he did tonight."
After the Dragons (0-7) started off the game with a punt, Maxey scampered for 23 yards to set up a five-yard Trevor Naftel touchdown run to quickly get the Raiders on the board, a blocked extra point making the lead 6-0.
On Warren East's ensuing possession, Ford hit Maxey for the 56-yard touchdown pass to put the Raiders up 13-0.
Naftel scored his second touchdown of the game with 11:06 to go in the 2nd quarter, strolling in from nine yards out to put the Raiders on top 20-0.
East (4-3) increased their lead to 30-0 with 8:02 to go in the 4th quarter, chasing Warren Central quarterback Jamale Barber to the back of the end zone before his pass attempt was batted into the air and picked off by Colson Elkins for a touchdown.
"I told Colson that the football Gods sort of smiled down on him at that moment," Griffith joked. "We have been on the opposite end of some of those plays this year, so we will definitely take it."
Naftel carried the ball 18 times for 100 yards and two touchdowns on the evening while Maxey carried the ball 16 times for 94 yards to complement two catches for 64 yards and a score.
For Warren Central, running back DJ Tyner ran for 62 yards on 16 carries while Barber was 9-for-19 passing with 93 yards. Xavier Patrick-Brown had three catches for 62 yards while also grabbing an interception on defense.
The Dragons will get a week off before traveling to take on Franklin-Simpson on Friday, Oct. 13. The Raiders will also be off until that date in which they will host Allen County-Scottsville.
"We're going to take fall break as a time to re-charge our batteries a bit," Griffith said. "When we get back from fall break, we will go back to work to get ready for Allen County."

Nowadays, many people determined to start a business. However, putting a business into operation is not an easy task. Many new startups quickly get into crisis because of the massive workload as well as the unstable working environment.
Before starting the challenge, the business owner needs to answer some questions to himself or herself to know whether they are ready for the possible events.
- Can you work independently?
Do you need continuous guidance and motivation from others? What would your job look like if no one followed and managed your work?
Many people think that having the right to decide everything yourself could make your job a lot easier, but that is not always true. It can be difficult when you start with no specific instructions on what to do. A successful entrepreneur must have these traits: independence, resourcefulness and self-awareness.
- Are you a product researcher or entrepreneur?
Many successful businesses are begun from great ideas. However, just raising a great idea can not guarantee a successful business. There are many cases where the founder only focuses on products, prototypes, patents … but ignores other aspects of developing a business. Having a perfect product does not mean that customers will immediately rush to your business.
As a matter of fact, if you find yourself more like an inventor than an entrepreneur, this does not stop you from starting a business. However, you should look for more partners who are proficient in business skills and are interested in your ideas to reach further.
- Are business ideas worthwhile to consumers?
Perhaps you have heard the saying, "Do what you want and the success will chase you," but in reality, things are not exactly the same. Passion is the key to success, but to build a profitable business, you need to provide the certain value that customers are looking for.
Consumers will not care whether you are pursuing your dream or not, they only pay for products and services that meet their needs and desires. If you operate in areas where your customers are not interested, your business will fail.
- What is your business different?
Does your idea resemble other businesses that are operating or offering unique products or services? What is the size of the market you are targeting? These are important questions that you need to think about, but the key to success is not always to find an empty, non-competitive market (which is almost impossible). Instead, everything depends on how you define your company and its position on the market.
In the short run, you do not necessarily have to come up with a new idea but a basic look at where the industry is headed and identify potential areas. List the best ways to meet that need. You do not need to go on a new path but you must give your customers good reasons to choose your products or services.
- Are you willing to do many things at once?
As an office worker, there are always people for you to call to repair a broken printer or to answer the phone while you are busy. However, this does not exist if you open your own business.
Self-employment often involves a lot of work, and sometimes you have to do everything by yourself. You have to play all the roles like a technician and then do salesman and business owners …at the same time. Before you start your own business, make sure you are ready to do many things yourself including the most tedious one.
- Do you have a financial foundation to get started?
The income of small businesses, including startups, is unstable. When you introduce a new product, the profits may not come immediately.
It is important to make sure that both you and your business are safe. In many cases, the best time to prepare for your own business is when you still own another job.

At least 10 Islamic schools in England are still segregating boys and girls in co-educational schools, while others are likely to be separating the genders for certain activities, despite a recent court ruling outlawing the practice.
Details emerged in an appeal court judgment on Tuesday, which turned down an attempt by the Association of Muslim Schools (AMS) to join a legal action to seek leave to appeal to the supreme court for a review of the segregation ruling.
The request followed a judgment last month when three court of appeal judges found that Al-Hijrah Islamic school in Birmingham had caused unlawful discrimination by formally segregating girls and boys from the age of nine.
The court heard that boys and girls were taught in different classrooms and were made to use separate corridors and play areas. The segregation policy also applied to clubs and school trips.
