Ahahaha, of course everybody loves to touch their own body. =)
Hmmmm, from my opinion as a touch screen phone owner, I think touch screen phone is a bit hard to type with one hand.
Anyway, good luck! =)

to be honest, i still like phones with keypad, such as blackberry.
the input respond is faster for keypad phones compare to those that have only touch screen.
plus, if somethings goes wrong with the OS, with the keypad, we can still do something with the phone.

Subfield: Migration, Urban Sociology, Comparative & Global Sociology, Theory
Research Interests My research draws on an interdisciplinary background in sociology, political science, philosophy and geography. The core of my publications focus on issues concerning migrants and minorities in Europe, looking at questions of spatial mobility, citizenship, integration and problems in comparative methodology. I am also interested in the philosophy of social science and analytical approaches to sociological theory, particularly in teaching. Most recently, I have published a book on the free movement of urban professionals in Europe, entitled Eurostars and Eurocities. This work on mobile populations in London, Amsterdam and Brussels, has been followed by a new study of networks and entrepreneurship in the creative industries between California and Japan, particularly involving the export/import of contemporary art, music, street fashion and food. I am interested in all work on globalization, regional integration, nationalism, cities, multiculturalism, migration and mobility, especially related to Europe and East Asia, and am currently writing a book about Japanese contemporary art since the 1990s.
Eurostars and Eurocities: Free Movement and Mobility in an Integrating Europe has been published by Blackwell January 2008.

*Pennsylvania is officially the fourth state in the US to legalize online poker or casino games, and a full roll out is expected sometime in the Q2 of 2019.
Latest update: A total of 7 online casinos will open their virtual doors on July 15th, 2019.
Online Casino bonus code Pennsylvania 2020 allows you to check many different reviews of casino sites – you can locate the great paying bonus codes that will offer cash, credits and even spins on featured slot games. Our website contains 14 reviews of great casinos in Pennsylvania, where you will be able to get all of the available bonus codes.
Bonus codes are easy to use and they should be instant bonus offers. When you make a deposit at a regulated site and enter the provided bonus code, you will receive a match bonus on the amount deposited. There are also other types of bonuses that can be redeemed, such as no deposit bonus codes, where you will not have to add any funds to a casino account. For now, you can also enjoy a wide variety of free online casino games and enjoy the titles as if you were playing for real money.
Check some similar bonus offers in Mohegan Sun Pocono.
Please note that we will have the dates for the rest of the casinos as soon as they are announced. You can still visit the websites of all these casinos, however, it is impossible to play for real money on any of them until they are officially opened. The only exception to this is the iLottery bonus which does offer real money play already. Of course, we will add the bonuses to this table, as soon as they become available.
Online casinos have become one of the major ways for gamblers to enjoy the thrills of playing games for real money without having to leave home. In Pennsylvania, there are currently no websites that offer real money gambling online. As we mentioned, that is expected to change some time at the beginning of 2019, but for now, the only operator which can offer online games and some incentive for joining is the Pennsylvanian National Lottery.
As you examine the different casino sites, you will find that U.S online casinos offer some attractive bonus deals when creating a new account. Online Casino bonus code Pennsylvania 2020 will help you boost your account, offering cash to enjoy an array of games. All of this, of course, when they come online.
Each website that is operating will offer different bonuses, so not every online casino will have the same offer. Many online casinos for USA players will have bonus codes that must be redeemed and these are available right on the site. When you go to Online Casino Pennsylvania 2020, you can be sure that many sites will offer these codes for cash and great deposit bonuses.
Online Casino Pennsylvania 2020 – Gambling Regulations
Pennsylvania has recently become the 4th US state to start handing out licenses for online gambling and sports betting! This means players will get to enjoy not only online poker, slots, table games, and sports betting, but also great bonus codes and bonus offers given by a variety of virtual casinos! However, even though the regulations are in place, the operators still need some time to prepare their online platforms so that everything would be perfect once launched. This is why we should not expect to see online gambling platforms in Pennsylvania until, at least the summer of 2019.
What are Bonus Codes?
Online casinos are always offering amazing ways for you to add funds to an account and with bonus codes, the sites can track who has made use of a bonus and who has not. This helps casino sites to offer you what you are seeking and ensures you will always have access to promotions that will be beneficial. Bonus codes are easy to use and they can be enjoyed by any registered member. You just have to create an account at the online casino and obtain the bonus code by visiting the site and looking at the Promotions page. Here, you will find a full list of all available offers and can learn what they provide in terms of maximum value.
Online Casinos in Pennsylvania haven't yet started operating, and this means that you still can't find a number of great bonus codes that will be available for redemption. These are related to different types of bonuses, but many will start off as no deposit bonus offers. Since Pennsylvania sites are new, not everyone is willing to start playing for real money. With the offering of no deposit bonus code deals, you can see what the site has to offer, learn about the different games and bonuses and even try out games with no risk at all.
Online casinos are very appealing and you may also want to watch for sites that have a mobile app so that you can enjoy games on the go. These apps provide access to the online casino through mobile devices and provide a great way to enjoy games and bonus offers in an Online Casino Pennsylvania 2020. No matter how you access an online casino site, you will benefit from some of the bonus codes, all offering amazing incentives, especially if you are a real money player. To take advantage of bonus codes for real money, you will have to wait for them to become available. For online casinos for USA players, PayPal is a popular option and you may also be able to use major credit and debit cards.
Casino bonus codes are not tricks. They do actually provide a way to get bonus cash and credits in an account. However, just like any other bonus being offered at a casino site, you will have to meet the stated wagering requirements and adhere to all terms and conditions of the bonus offer. These will be explained in the Terms and Conditions section, which will be found beneath the offer on the Promotions page.
Once many bonus offers become available, you will have some great chances to boost account balances. With the Online Casino bonus code Pennsylvania 2020, you can expect great deposit bonuses, ongoing offers and superb incentives to make sure you are always pleased with your gambling experience at the site and that you are always able to enjoy your preferred casino game.
Types of Bonuses at Online Casino Pennsylvania 2020
Each online casino has a different array of bonus deals that are presented. The majority of operating sites will always welcome you with some type of bonus, whether that is a no deposit bonus or a first deposit bonus. No deposit bonuses can be beneficial if you are completely new to online gambling or are just looking to preview the site. These types of bonuses offer some play options and you are not obligated to make any financial commitment to the casino site. With deposit bonuses, you will have to add funds to an account, using one of the deposit methods available, and you will be granted a match bonus from the casino. These bonuses may be on the first deposit or they can be on multiple deposits, offered as a welcome package. If a bonus code is required, make sure to make note of it, as it can be different for each tier in multiple-tiered offers.
While welcome offers will appeal to you in many cases, you will also want to make sure the chosen online casino will offer rewards as you return to the site for all your gambling needs. Online casinos that have ongoing bonuses are the great option as these will provide more ways for you to pad the casino account and earn more cash. The more cash and credits you can collect, the longer you will be able to play your favorite game, so the offering of casino bonuses and promotions is essential if you are a frequent player.
Reload bonuses are quite common and these are similar to the welcome bonus that will be offered with the Online Casino bonus code Pennsylvania 2020. A reload bonus is a type of a deposit match bonus, but it is usually worth less than the original welcome offer. Either way, it can offer a great way to get rewards for adding funds to an existing casino account. Cashback bonuses are another type of deal that can be very beneficial. These usually work by offering a percentage of the losses that have been incurred over a certain amount of time at the site. Cashback bonuses can help you recoup losses and can provide more funds that can be used on the supported game titles.
When choosing an Online Casino Pennsylvania 2020, make sure there is a loyalty or rewards program in place. Since these online casinos will be associated with operating land casinos, there will likely be an existing program that will be split between the land site and the online site. This means that you can benefit when you play online as well as when you play in the land casino, all using the same account information. Rewards programs will provide points for real money wagers that are placed and these points can then be redeemed for casino cash and credits, welcome dinners at the land location, entries to drawings and much more.
VIP programs are also great. These will differ from the standard loyalty program and in many cases, you will have to be invited to take part in the program. As a VIP player, you will receive more bonus offers, better-paying bonuses, more comp points, special offers, personal account managers and much more. These are great programs if you are a high roller or a player that visits the casino on a regular basis.
Online casinos will also offer bonuses if there are new game releases. In many cases, you can grab some bonus spins on newly released slot games as way for the site to promote the new game and provide you with a way to preview the title before placing any real money wagers. These spin bonuses can generate real money payouts, though there will be wagering requirements that must be met along with a maximum win value for the bonus.
Online Casino Bonus Code Pennsylvania 2020 Options
You will be able to find a great array of Online Casino bonus code Pennsylvania 2020 offers as new sites will be competing for your patronage by offering great paying bonus deals. You will be able to choose and play a variety of different games at sites. Some of the leading land casinos already have online sites that are active, but they only offer playing for virtual credit money, which cannot be withdrawn. These sites do have some bonus codes that can be used when purchasing virtual credits. The games you find on featured sites are the same games that are offered in Pennsylvania online casinos. We hope that you will enjoy being able to gamble online, once the casinos open up their platforms.

"On our wedding night, honeymoon style, in the Bahamas. That's a real woman there, make you wait, til you got married." Nick said
About other women, Nick said "It's LA! That's the whole purpose, you have sex with actresses, singers, models...but Mariah made me wait"In essence, a real woman makes a man wait till they are married before giving herself to him? I know it's really difficult to hold out, especially when you're crazy in love with the guy, but the thing is, men actually respect that. They really do. And whether you sleep with a man or not, if he wants to marry you, he will, right?
Personally, I don't know if I can. I'd love to I swear. I keep telling myself that's the plan but you can meet a guy tomorrow now with Brad Pitt's face, Tyson Beckford's body, Gerard Butler's charm and Kevin Hart's sense of humour and lose your senses. lol. But ultimately this is the best thing to do, wait till you are married. What do you ladies think? And big kudos to Mariah

Missing DS already. We must be growing a relationship as equals, as for the first time I didn't actually want to slap him 15 minutes after he arrived. And the whole he-loves-my-art admission (enough to claim a fair bit as his own, mostly the actual BIG CARDS from my year-long project, my Steampunk house, and a handful of Gelli Prints, and enough to link my blog for his friends to see) was amazingly sweet.
I am working on another little book – another oddball construction – with a specific purpose in mind. a bit of a mess on the desk for WOYWW as usual, then.
Off to the side you can see the sink mat that I used to make the coolest Gelli prints last week – I had the idea I would grab another one and offer it as blog candy but wouldn't you know it they were all sold out.
I did grab another one but it's flowers and not tested yet. I do know it is labelled as "exclusive to B&M" so if you have one near you they are a steal at £1.99.
I also grabbed another couple of wallpaper samples – I really like this one, which I think is meant to be maybe a cut orange, although I see a sun in the design. Looks just perfect for the round Gelli plate!
I've already tested a theory with it, something I thought would work and does, and that may appear in the book – which is looking like this at the moment, but looks can be deceptive….
We have two cars needing MOTs and both are scheduled for this week, as the end of the month is pretty heavily booked, so not sure how much I'll actually manage on the book today, but I have high hopes for getting it done.
Happy WOYWW y'all.

Beginning Adult Taiko
Sara's love of music and performing began over 30 years ago. It was cultivated by music teachers from school, dancing at the FWDC when she was young, and performing in every school play and musical she could. When Sara moved back home to Fort Wayne, after receiving a BA in music from Butler University, she started taking taiko classes. Since her beginning taiko days in 2010, Sara has become a performing member of Fort Wayne Taiko, composed music for the group, traveled near and far to deepen her taiko knowledge from taiko masters, begun learning the business side of taiko, and has loved teaching taiko to the community.

I have a lot of questions to ask when I interview Omar Sosa and Marco Velardi of Apartmento magazine. Their international collaboration has long been lauded for its innovative editorial and design, savvy publishing and distribution methods, and for making a community of its loyal following through brilliantly low-key, quietly exclusive parties and events. They've collaborated with some of the world's biggest brands, made films with LVMH's Nowness, and generated enough interest as characters in their own right to have weighty features dedicated to them in the pages of Fantastic Man. As independent magazine makers, they've arrived. Everybody knows who they are, and as a fan myself, I'm delighted to be able to sit down with them and probe deeper.
In the end I squeeze in only four questions over the course of an hour. The relationship between Sosa and Velardi is such that no sooner have the words left my mouth than they're both speaking at once, to me, and each other; agreeing and disagreeing, bickering and joking, laughing and tutting, and meandering away through a discussion of everything but the thing I've inquired about. They refer to each other by nickname; Velardi is 'The Little Dictator' and Sosa the 'Grandmother,' and describe their working process as a "car crash." As I transcribe our conversation later it does feel like a car crash, but among the debris are enough working parts to get an idea of why they do what they do, and how it's been so enviably successful.
Apartmento, as indicated by its moniker, began in homes. Sosa, Velardi, and Nacho Alegre—the third member of their team—were always on the road for work. "In the beginning we'd always just stay in our friends' houses," says Velardi, "or on their couch, or in their bed with them, and that was the way we did it when we traveled. Maybe we've upgraded ourselves a little since then, but we've always been parasites. It was important to do that because we were fascinated by the different spaces we'd end up in. And the thing that brought us together was the imagery of those places. It's just an exploration of spending time with other people at their houses, and looking at how they lived. Maybe we're voyeurs more than parasites. There's some perversion in there too."
"Having my own house has always been very important," adds Sosa, "and that was always why I wanted to make this magazine. Keeping the idea of a house in your life is important; knowing that one place in the world is yours and has your stuff."
Oddly, the whole team is itinerant, moving between cities and working across the globe in a manner that belies this affection for being grounded. Velardi is Milanese but now lives in Berlin, Sosa from Barcelona, now living in New York, and Alegre, though resident in Barcelona for the duration of his time with the magazine, has the most hectic travel schedule of them all, due to high profile fashion clients. For each of them Apartamento is a side project, tended in the hours between their individual day jobs.
This has a significant bearing on the way the magazine is run, affording little opportunity for the three to sit down in a studio and focus for weeks on end. "It's a bit of luck and a bit of randomness," says Velardi. "Omar brings his stories, Nacho brings his stories, I bring my stories, and boom!"
Of course they share some common editorial goals; like persuading David Hockney to do a feature, or getting Donald Judd involved—something they've now achieved—but for the most part they work at random, each bringing ideas to the table and seeing what sticks.
Recently what's stuck has been household names like Jason Schwartzman and Martha Stewart, instead of obscure sculptors, designers, and photographers for which they're best known. But Velardi insists this isn't a move to become more celebrity obsessed. "For us it's about the person giving us something," he says. "Like Martha Stewart; of course she's Martha Stewart, but we didn't feature her to put her on a pedestal, and there's no front cover of Martha Stewart. For us it's about looking at her and understanding her, and finding out more. We could have easily put her on the cover, but we would never do that because we wanted to promote a specific famous person or topic."
"And with Martha," says Sosa, "it's the same criteria that we have for everyone; she's a self-made person who's very interested in her home, but at the same time she's this super, mega-established American figure, and it's kind of the opposite of what we're about. But it fits!"
Apartamento turns 10 in 2017, which means it's older than most of the independent titles that make up this booming industry. While numerous indies have sprung up and died in a matter of months, and others have engaged in redesign after redesign to keep readers coming back for more, Apartamento has maintained the same recipe for a decade, making minor adjustments along the way but otherwise trusting in its original vision—though they have a tough time articulating that vision.
"We wanted to do something, but we had so many different ideas and ways to do it," says Sosa. "It wasn't clear 10 years ago that an independent magazine could be like Apartamento. Now, I'm not saying that we set the tone, but we were one of the first. And it wasn't like you'd go to a bookstore and say, 'Oh there's one magazine for interns, one magazine for chairs, one magazine for plants;' there weren't that many references for us. We could have chosen many different places and themes that Nacho and I had thought of, but Marco came in and was like, 'Okay guys, we have to make it happen, and lets do it this way.'"
To what does Velardi attribute their success? Business, and a practical level of experience that neither of his collaborators possessed. "I gave them orders from the perspective of advertising, and distribution and how to get it right, and to launch it in Milan. I knew how to do it, and suddenly I kind of became the glue.
"It was interesting because Omar had experience with designing magazines, Nacho had experience with making fanzines, I was working with Nieves at the time and was helping a lot with the press and distribution. I was also working with magazines in Milan like 032c, and so the mix of experiences we had was great."
Combined with this variety of experience is the tension you feel when sitting down with Sosa and Velardi. They provoke and antagonize one another constantly, ridicule each other's explanations of their past and disagree outright on where they'll be heading next. Does working in such a restless environment guarantee that nobody grows complacent?
"It keeps us going, this tension," says Sosa, "and this tension comes from very different places; putting different things together and seeing if this is right or wrong, and where are we going? I'm the one responsible for laying out the whole magazine and putting the stories together, and usually I close the door and nobody else can be in the studio…"
"But then you do it," interrupts Velardi, "and we're like, 'Fuck this, this is rubbish!' and we start changing the order of things."
Right now this tension is manifest in arguing about their new app. For years Apartamento has existed only as a physical product; a brilliant printed magazine with a frankly shoddy digital presence. There have been times when the website has just been plain text, failed to show the latest issue for sale, or just been offline completely. For this Sosa is unapologetic. He's not interested in websites; thinks that the internet gives too much away for free, and has no desire to play along just because other magazines have a strong web presence. But this new app, he says, is different. "Now, when I go to the bathroom, I'm reading Apartamento on the app and it's good shit!"
Once again though, neither can agree what to do with it moving forward. "The app is still in the making," says Velardi. "It's useful for us because it's another way to look back. When you've made 17 issues it's easy to forget which story you did, and every single person, and which stories you could have done much better. It's a way of analyzing the past and being more conscious of our work. With some stories you look back and realize how many great images you didn't put in the magazine because you couldn't run a 60-page story…"
"Yeah but excuse me Marco," interjects Sosa, "that's something very important that I don't want to do. I think some stories can be killed that way, because there is no editing, or the edit is too big. You need to work out what's essential and what is the story you want to tell, because with the same 100 pictures I could tell you three or four different stories. With the internet we have to be very careful of not putting too many pictures out there."
Velardi: Of course the editing is important, but we have stuff that we could have put in, and we have archives of images that we couldn't feature…
Sosa: Yeah but you can't tell everything…
Velardi: We couldn't publish all of Girard, because it didn't fit in the supplement that we did…
Sosa: But that's one of the beauties of print I think, that you are limited by space and…
Velardi: You see this is another car crash happening right now!
What's certain for now is that the app offers up seven stories from Apartamento's archive at any one time. You have a few days to read them, and then they're replaced by new ones, with no further access to the whole archive available. It's a system that allows them to keep some kind of editorial and curatorial control over their content, while still making room to experiment with a new medium. Is it working?
"Let's see," says Velardi. "In a year maybe it will have been a total failure, or maybe it'll be working really well. It's hard to say. But this is our project, and there's no financial constraints. We're just doing it with our budget and with the idea that we're developing it for ourselves."
"And now we're going to make a book too," says Sosa, "so that'll be like several car crashes together."
"Yeah," says Velardi, "we don't know where we're going with that one yet either."
And with that they decide that they've said enough—"We talk so much. We're like old people"—with most of my questions left unanswered…
Marco Velardi and Omar Sosa were interviewed at HERE 2016, the It's Nice That annual symposium.

Absolution (The Twelve Kingdoms Book 2) by Bree Pierce
Absolution (The Twelve Kingdoms Book 2) by Bree Pierce
Published 11th January 2018
135 Pages
Reviewed by Yvonne Davies
At the end of book 1 Anastacia and Prince Dejen had their happy ever after. Prince Keto was back to business with Bartholomew in tow and King Neso was keeping the peace between the 12 kingdoms and ready to make a big decision that could affect a lot of people.
The second book revolves around Keto and Bartholomew. Being the eldest son Keto as Provincial General of the realm already had a lot of responsibility. Talking Bartholomew under his wing, Keto was tasked with riding Bartholomew of his anger and turning him in to the man that he used to be. Knowing what Bartholomew has done, makes him an easy character to despise but the more you read, the more you will come to like him. The change of his character shows just how patient Keto was.
Having read book 1 it was good to see how other characters had moved on. My favourite character Theta had a major role to play in book 2 and I enjoyed learning more about her. Due to the story mainly set in Cantilla, you get to know more about this land and its ruler King Ambrose. As magic plays a big part to this story it has more of a fantasy feel to this read. The scenes in The Dark Forest in Mimas had a sense of dread, as dark magic was present.
The attention to detail of the characters and the lands help make this story flow steadily and I found it a quick read. A great continuation of this series and yet again no cliff-hanger.

Live: U.S. Politics
Cable 4
Date/DTG: Sep 12, 2017 /120135Z SEP 17
From: SECSTATE WASHDC
Action: ALL DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR POSTS COLLECTIVE ROUTINE
Captions: SENSITIVE
Reference: A) 17 STATE 9540
Subject: GUIDANCE ON THE SUSPENSION OF CERTAIN VISAS IN ERITREA
1. (U) Summary: Effective September 13, the United States will discontinue the issuance of nonimmigrant B1, B2, and B1/B2 visas to citizens, subjects, nationals and residents of Eritrea who apply in Eritrea, because that country is denying or unreasonably delaying acceptance of the return of its citizens from the United States. Further visa categories may be designated by the Department after 90 days. The suspension does not apply to Eritreans applying outside Eritrea, although posts encountering such applicants should consult the guidance in paragraphs 7-8 concerning out-of-district cases. The suspension also does not invalidate or serve as a basis for revocation of visas already issued. This cable provides background and guidance on the visa suspension. All public inquiries regarding visa issuance suspension in Eritrea should be directed to CA/P. All operational inquiries should go to CA/VO. End Summary.
2. (U) Despite repeated requests by the United States at the highest levels and over a long period, Eritrea has not cooperated in issuing travel documents to its putative nationals to facilitate their removal. On August 16, 2017, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke notified Secretary Tillerson that Eritrea has denied or unreasonably delayed the return of its nationals currently in ICE detention (Ref A). Therefore, pursuant to INA Section 243(d), Secretary Tillerson has ordered consular officers in Eritrea to discontinue granting B1, B2, and B1/B2 nonimmigrant visas to citizens, subjects, nationals, and residents of the Republic of Eritrea.
3. (U) The U.S. government believes that every country has an obligation under international law to accept the return of its nationals who are ineligible to remain in the United States or any other country. The United States routinely cooperates with foreign governments in documenting and accepting its citizens when asked. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (DHS/ICE) asks foreign governments to facilitate the return of their nationals by issuing valid travel documents and accepting the appropriate flights.
4. (SBU) ICE prioritizes the removal of aliens who pose a danger to national security or are a risk to public safety. The Department of State assists ICE through diplomatic engagement with foreign governments in Washington and at our embassies and consulates overseas. ICE designates as "Uncooperative" those countries that are uncooperative in taking back their nationals or issuing travel documents on time. ICE's Removals Cooperation Initiative (RCI) calculation includes 12 uncooperative countries and an additional 47 "At Risk of Non-Compliance" countries that have not cooperated completely. ICE recalculates this list periodically. The Department will share these lists with affected posts.
5. (SBU) For many years, State and ICE have worked with uncooperative countries at all levels to improve cooperation on removals. We consider all options at our disposal, taking into account complex bilateral relationships, foreign policy priorities, and other extenuating circumstances. In many cases, diplomatic efforts are successful to address the problem. However, Eritrea was not responsive, causing the Secretary of Homeland Security to notify State, triggering the requirement to discontinue visa issuance. The Secretary of State has decided to initially target B1, B2, and B1/B2 visa applicants. If Eritrea continues to refuse or unreasonably delay the return of its nationals, the suspension may be expanded to include additional categories of visa applicants.
Operational Mechanics at Embassy Asmara
6. (SBU) In accordance with an Order of the Secretary of State under section INA 243(d), consular officers at Embassy Asmara will, starting September 13, 2017, discontinue the issuance of all B1, B2, and B1/B2, nonimmigrant visas to citizens, subjects, nationals, and residents of the Republic of Eritrea. For the duration of the suspension, Embassy Asmara will accept applications, interview, and refuse ineligible cases as usual (e.g. under INA 214(b) or INA 212(a), etc.). For purposes of processing and tracking, consular officers there will refuse in NIV, under refusal code "243(d)," all visas considered approvable but for the visa suspension. Embassy Asmara will submit visa applications possibly falling within one of the exceptions in the Secretary's order to the Department for an Advisory Opinion.
Eritrean Applicants Applying Outside Eritrea
7. (SBU) 9 FAM 601.12-3(E) precludes you from accepting the applications of nationals of 243(d) countries if the applicant is not a president of your consular district. Posts should note that INA 243(d) applies only to visa issuance in Eritrea; therefore, B applications from Eritreans could still be issued in another country. 9 FAM 403.2-4(B) states that the authority to reject an applicant based solely on non-residence "will seldom, if ever, be used." If a covered individual who is not a resident of their consular district is not eligible for a visa, then consular officers outside Eritrea should refuse under INA 214(b), INA 212(a), or the other relevant refusal code as in any other adjudication. If such an applicant is otherwise eligible but appears to be applying outside of Eritrea to avoid the visa suspension, officers outside Eritrea must transfer the case to Embassy Asmara.
How to Refuse Out of District Cases in NIV
8. (SBU) Consular officers who believe applicants are seeking to avoid the visa suspension in Eritrea should use the "case transfer" function in NIV 4.10 in "Open" status and transfer the case to Embassy Asmara. Although the transfer function permits you to deny cases under INA 221(g) prior to transfer, do not select that option; transfer the case in "Open" status.
Exceptions to Restrictions
9. (SBU) Under the Secretary's order, some applicants in Eritrea who are covered individuals may still be issued visas for travel deemed by the Department to be for a humanitarian or other emergency purpose, or travel otherwise deemed in the interests of the United States. Consular officers should refuse each case under INA 243(d) then submit an advisory opinion to [email removed]
for each case that the adjudicating consular officer believes may fall within one of the exceptions.
Termination of Restrictions
10. (U) When the Secretary of Homeland Security has informed the Secretary of State that Government of Eritrea has accepted its nationals subject to removal orders, the restrictions will be lifted. The Department will inform all posts when this happens and will provide further instructions on bringing the 243(d) cases to conclusion.
Continued Engagement with Uncooperative or At Risk of Non-Compliance Countries
11. (U) The Department recently urged posts (Ref B) in uncooperative and at risk of non-compliance countries to raise the issue of removals with their host governments. If you are in such a post, the suspension of visa issuance in another country may be a useful point to raise in future discussions encouraging your host country to cooperate on removals. While the United States is willing to work with each country to address its concerns, visa discontinuance remains a possibility if a country abjectly fails to cooperate in removals and makes no progress in addressing the issue.
12. (SBU) Any questions on the mechanics of case transfers should be addressed to VO/I. Any questions about the FAM guidance or procedural application of the Secretary's order should be directed to VO/L/A.

I know…I know…photo's a little fuzzy, and I apologize. I'm in different location and I don't have access to others. That said, I wanted to put something up so you could meet my Mom. I'll do better–promise.
Here she is, Doris Barlow Kelly, seated at lower right, with the rest of her family all about (I'm in the middle, in the back.) She couldn't know what lay ahead. It wasn't all bad: At 90, she was voted "Sweetheart of Greenwich Bay" by fellow residents, for her sunny, uplifting manner. (Sorry about the photo quality…it's old and hardly professional, even if a "pro" took it –note Dad's whacky, cock-eyed tie–that'd never happen today.)
My mother was a hoot…"independent" was the word we'd all most attach to her, but that didn't stop us from trying to make her otherwise.
I remember it, as if it were yesterday. We'd all read and heard about a savage crime that occurred to an elderly woman in the tony, insulated community of Little Compton, Rhode Island. Who was the perpetrator? None other than the man she hired to paint the interior of her home. He'd bludgeoned her, in a savage attack, the details of which were front and center in the state's newspaper, the Providence Journal.
Oh, police got him, but the news sent my nerves a-jangling.
For, my own Mom was a criminal's dream. She was forgetful…super-trusting, and naïve, beyond compare. The signature moment that told me she could no longer live alone was when I came up to her home in mid-summer, during a period of intense drought, and found she'd hired two strange men to prune her bushes.
Now, nothing had grown that summer and nothing needed pruning. Frankly, they were taking her for a ride. When I pulled up, I saw one smirk to the other, as if to say: "The gig's up." I thanked them, paid them, and sent them on their way, adding "her family was moving in with her today."
Because I feared for her safety, I convinced my siblings the time was 'now' for us to move her into a facility.
Against her stiff protests, we moved her into Greenwich Bay Manor. I had to stay away from her the first week because she was apoplectic with rage. By the second week, she'd settled in and even decorated her interior corridor door, a sure sign she'd begun to accept her new address (apparently, decorating the door is a rite of passage for new residents.)
Now, everything was going along swimmingly. She had friends…she had nutritious and delicious meals prepared by a chef…she enjoyed her surroundings.
And then I got the call….You know, the one where the older person says: "I've fallen and I can't get up." She'd apparently tripped over the hassock which I'd stupidly let her keep, trying to make her surroundings as familiar as home. Only problem? She wasn't home and her space was much more cramped–hence, her fall.
I called 911; the ambulance came; it shuttled her to the hospital; and I met her there.
Doctors repaired her broken hip, and then they sent her to Kent Regency Nursing Home for rehabilitation. In the third week of her stay, a fire broke out on her wing, during the night, and the woman whose hip demanded total bed rest got out of bed to help firefighters 'save' patients' lives by directing them to safety.
Should she have been doing that? Obviously not. But being one who always took life by the horns, her behavior was predictable.
Fellow patients laugh, to this day, as they remember Mom, all 5'1″ of her, standing there, looking semi-official, except for the blanket wrapped about her to ward off a freezing cold night (it was February), telling others what to do.
Firefighters apparently didn't notice; they had all they could do to keep hose nozzles free from ice blockage on that dreadfully-cold night. They didn't have time to distract an old woman from what she perceived was her duty to command in an emergency.
Yes, I kept trying to protect my aging mother from life's vagaries. The upshot? My protective actions almost killed her.
On the other hand, they provide fodder for her journalist daughter's stories. Not a bad legacy for anyone.
Here's what led up to our decision to 'incarcerate' her (I couldn't make this stuff up!)…

At Ames Ford, our vehicles are competitively priced, providing our customers with a range of high-quality vehicles for less.
As a business, we appreciate that juggling finances is not an easy thing to achieve, and we know that this is no less the case when it comes to managing a household budget.
To that end, we provide a number of financing options, all of which are worth considering before you decide which is most appropriate to your situation.
A Hire Purchase (HP) car deal brings the benefits of a minimal deposit (typically no more than ten percent of the value of the vehicle). With HP, you can also enjoy low interest rates and flexible repayment terms – and no lump sum to pay off at the end. After repayments have ended, you will have full ownership of the car.
Personal Contract Purchase is another flexible option that affords low monthly interest rates. It also provides you with three choices when all monthly payments have been made:
1.Pay the remainder, after which point you will own the car.
2.Return the vehicle and treat the period of 'ownership' as if you were leasing the car.
3.Trade in your vehicle so that you can begin a fresh deal on a new car.
Personal contract hire and leasing effectively provides long-term rental of your vehicle of choice. For a fixed monthly sum, you can enjoy the benefits of driving a car without the stress that ownership can sometimes bring. Other advantages such as the cost of servicing are included.
If you would like to discuss the best way to pay for your new Ford vehicle, get in touch with us at your earliest convenience. A member of our finance team will be happy to sit down with you and talk through the options, helping you to decide upon the best course of action.

In a recent news report by the BBC, Mental Health charity Mind highlighted their concerns over the unacceptably low amount of money local authorities are spending on public mental health. The Charity pointed out that only 1.4% of public health budgets are spent on mental health. You can read more from the article here.
OCD Action helps thousands of people each year online, face to face and over the phone.
Many people tell us of how the very early signs of their OCD were missed or ignored and how over time, their obsession and compulsions have taken over their life.
We know that tackling the OCD as soon as possible makes a real difference and so we want more people to be aware of the early signs of OCD and feel more able to seek help. Public health campaigns can play a major part in this. We welcome this new report and join with others in calling for more funding to promote good mental health.

Oh man oh man oh man! Boy am I excited! I got my hands on two bottles of The Abyss today. The beer Gods are surely smiling down at me.
The Abyss is one of Deschutes' Reserve series and is released in very very limited quantities. What makes this such a sought after vintage beer? Oh I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with its consistently high ratings on BA (A+) and RB (100th percentile) since its first release in 2007. It has been a smashing hit that is able to compete head to head with dominant players such as Three Floyd's Dark Lord and Portsmouth's Kate The Great. In fact, it is currently ranked #4 on BA, where it holds the rank as the #1 Russian Imperial Stout.
Also pictured is the 2009 vintage of Mirror Mirror, also part of the Deschutes Reserve. Again, this is a very limited release, though not as exclusive as The Abyss. The last release was in 2006, so I don't think we're going to see another vintage for awhile.
I was lucky enough to get my dirty little paws on two bottles of The Abyss. Finding this rare gem was the easy part. Now resisting the urge to drink both bottles in one go? That's the hard part. I'm definitely planning on popping open one bottle at the end of the year (it is still reportedly a bit "hot" at the moment), but the second is without a doubt going into long-term storage. Same deal with my two bottles of Mirror Mirror. One to drink at the end of the year, and one for storage.
Or I could sell the bottles of Abyss online in a few months when its value will jump as high as $60/bottle, as shown by sales trends since its release.
Heh. Like hell I would! It would be so wrong to deny my friends and I the pleasure of enjoying such a glorious beer. Charlie, I'm making sure you get a taste of this stuff!

Mario Batali Double-Crossed and Stiffed Women's Group
Mario Batali's website claims it struck a deal to donate proceeds from its sauces to a women's group … but TMZ's learned the organization hasn't received a dime because no deal was ever struck.
We noticed this huge banner posted on mariobatalisauces.com's landing page back in December 2017 shortly after sexual misconduct allegations first surfaced against the disgraced chef. The banner claims the makers of Batali's sauces are donating its proceeds to Women Employed, hailed as one of the nation's most successful advocates for working women.
But, we checked with the organization and a rep tells us it was unaware the banner went up on Batali's website. The rep explains there were early talks about forming a partnership, but Women Employed ultimately decided not to move forward … which explains why it hasn't gotten a check … despite what the announcement claims.
As we reported … Batali was dumped by his partners on the heels of new claims of sexual misconduct. We reached out to Batali's sauce makers to ask for an explanation for the banner, so far no word back.

(AP Photo/Raad Adayleh) (Newser) – The US military now has a presence in Jordan, less than 35 miles from the Syrian border, that it secretly set up this summer; more than 150 specialists are stationed there. Right now, the mission is focused on helping Jordan deal with tens of thousands of Syrian refugees, but it's also meant as preparation in case the Syrian conflict mushrooms into a regional one—or Syria loses control of its chemical weapons. As fighting along Syria's borders with Turkey, Lebanon, and Iraq intensifies, the US is concerned about the conflict spreading—and Jordan, a key American ally, has already been touched by some fighting along its border with Syria. story continues below Officials say the US may create a "buffer zone" between the two countries, but that's only a contingency plan at this point. Still, the Jordan outpost gives the US greater leeway to get more involved with Syria should the Obama administration decide to intervene—it's currently the closest US presence to Syria, the New York Times reports. Meanwhile, Turkey warned today that its military will use greater force if Syrian shells continue to cross the border, Reuters reports. Fighting between Syrian troops and the opposition intensified today, a day after NATO said it was prepared to defend Turkey if need be. (Read more Syria stories.)

3 beauty lessons to take from New York Fashion Week and adopt right now
From the glittery blue eye at Anna Sui to the fluffy lashes seen at Marc Jacobs and the plethora of rich burgundy lips that we've come to expect for autumn/winter, New York didn't disappoint on the beauty front for next season. While a lot of the looks were best kept to the catwalks, there were several lessons to take from the tricks and techniques used backstage. Here are our top three...
Take a bow
Reams of ribbon were seen at both Tory Burch and Marchesa. Hair stylist Guido Palau finished the low ponytails with a velvet ribbon at Tory Burch. "A very low kind of shape gives it a nod to a romantic woman. There's something nonchalantly chic about it," Palau told WWD backstage. At Marchesa, hair stylist Antonio Corral Calero dressed up messy chignons with oversized, structured ribbon bows. Rather than feeling overly youthful or girly, the use of ribbon at both shows gave the hair a touch of elegance.
A pink romance
Two make-up artist maestros employed diffused pink tones across the eyes and cheeks to achieve a romantic elegance that is only attainable with the girly hue. At Altuzarra, Tom Pecheux used MAC Extra Dimension Blush in Into the Pink and buffed it into lids and cheeks, while Gucci Westman created an equally soft dusting of the shade at Marchesa. While you might not be ready to embrace eyes and cheeks in one look straight away, it's definitely time to dig out your blusher.
Grown-up grunge
Grunge isn't a word many of us want to associate our makeup with, but it was tossed about a lot backstage. That's not to say you should stop washing your hair or chuck out anything that's not black. Instead takeaway the slight nuances from a couple of the shows.
For example, the burgundy lipstick at Jill Stuart had more of a stained effect with the depth of the colour focused on the middle of the lips. Blurred edges, rather than precise lines, are not only easier to achieve, but they can also give the illusion of fuller, plumper lips.
The worn-in kohl liner at Alexander Wang also gave a nod to the 90s grunge era. Swapping your liquid liner for a blendable kohl formula, such as Charlotte Tilbury Rock 'N' Kohl Eyeliner, £19, can be much more flattering, especially if you're concerned with hooding or sagging eyelids.

If you love to cook, making your passion into a thriving business is an exciting possibility. And of course, you have to take that business online, where most of the action these days happen. Once you have established your menu, licenses and all the essentials, you can start preparing for your catering website.
How to start? Below are tips that can help:
- Choose a domain name and host.
When you choose a name for your catering business, consider its availability as a domain name. When you're all set, register the name with a hosting company. Your host is a server that allows the files on your website to reach the worldwide web, which is filled with a sea of prospects. If you're starting small, you likely won't need a dedicated server. To register a domain name, expect to pay between $10-20 yearly, while for hosting, it can be as small as $5 a month, depending on the company you choose.
- Decide how to go about the programming.
Catering template websites offer a fixed application to help clients with no web programming knowledge. You can also select a blog platform over a static HTML website. There are companies that offer you a package that includes everything, from registering your domain name to hosting your site and a drag-and-drop interface for creating your web pages. The problem with these packages is that they usually only let you make a few pages. If you want to have more flexibility and less limitations on your design, you can hire a web designer, but expect to pay a higher price.
- Produce fresh, relevant and quality content.
This is one of the most crucial parts – if not the most – of creating a catering website: creating good content. This should include well-written articles that tell your visitors about your catering business, where you are located, the food you serve, samples of y our menus and the events you usually cover. This part serves as your self-introduction to potential customers and shows your "wares" as a caterer. You can also learn more on how to make home builders website by checking out the post at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq8_a0kwl2M.
- Search-optimize your site by using keywords
To search-optimize your site means to create content that makes it easier for search engines to find your website when Internet users look for information on the Internet – in your case, information about catering services. An example of a keyword is "catering services NYC." There are many places in your website where keywords will be useful, such as the file name for your page, the headline, your picture tags, your articles, etc.
- Provide accurate food descriptions.
This part is very important as it's the only way for prospective customers to tell if they are interested in your services. If you're not very good at writing, you can hire a freelancer who knows how to write about food. Yes, there are ways to write about food that make them sound more inviting.
- Use professional photos.
Again, you are trying to sell food online from catering template website, food that people have no way of seeing except through text descriptions and, of course, pictures. For this reason, make sure your photos are all professional grade. Not only do they make your dishes look more alive and appetizing. Lastly, take photos of your food alone and during actual events. People like to see caterers in action, even just on their websites.

Medium: Red wool and silk, white cotton lace, steel, and whalebone
Date: c. 1880
Country: France (possibly)
Credit: Museum purchase
The silhouette of the 1880s was created with structured foundation garments that exaggerated the sexually-dimorphic curves of the female body. This fully boned corset of red wool and silk is laced up the back and fastens up the front with metal hooks. At the front of the corset, a steel, spoon-shaped "busk" that curves along the abdomen produces the tight fit, which enhances the contours of the "hourglass" silhouette. While the white cotton lace trim reflects a modest luxury, this red corset was nonetheless highly fashionable and somewhat controversial, as colorful corsets had been associated with "the aristocracy of vice" only a decade earlier.

Mana is an energy which is vital to casting magic, it is a form of energy which makes itself home upon the dimension of which souls reside in. A powerful magi can rarely cast continously for longer than ten minutes without taking an extended break.
Mana can be created from the soul, and is limitless in the dimension of which the soul inhabits. The limiting factor to how much mana an organism can call with their soul to their mana circuit, and how much of it one can control within it at once.
A central property to how mana can be used in our physical realm is how unstable it is when not controlled by a governing soul's willpower. When left untampered within our dimension, it will transmute itself into whatever energy there is readily available, ergo, heat, pressure, radiation, and perhaps even mass itself (if there is enough energy).
Its colour, appearance, and lustre is defined by the soul's affinity, and what the soul's inhabitant perception of the affinity to its respective colour.
When a person controls mana, they, through their commands, contact their soul-- which is an almost instantaneous connection because of their mana circuit-- and their soul manipulates the mana of which has been sent into the physical realm by its control.
This can be done with a conscious mind (see Cognitive Magic) or an unconscious mind (see Symbolic Magic or Reflexive Magic).Mana itself can be an energy controlled by magic (see Energy Magic), and is usually done so lethally as in its pure form, it may be a substance which can be extremely detrimental to anything it makes contact with.
Usually, a Magi would harness their mana to control an element. (see Elemental Magic), or even utilize it to manipulate dimensional qualities to an extent (see Time Magic).
Mana as a SenseEdit
Many Magi grow familiar with the energies they use, and some whom have mastered their manipulation of mana can grow to use such an energy as a "sixth sense" sort of technique of which they can send certain energies out magically and gain feedback from it. This is how magicians can actively control their spells such as Sear (see Fire Magic) or Meteor (see Cosmic Magic).

Julien Duvivier: Poetic Craftsman of Cinema
October 2, 2009 - October 31, 2009
"Genius is just a word; filmmaking is a craft."—Julien Duvivier
Jean Renoir once proclaimed, "If I were an architect and I had to build a monument to the cinema, I would place a statue of (Julien) Duvivier above the entrance. . . . This great technician, this rigorist, was a poet." The French director and screenwriter Julien Duvivier (1896–1967), whose astonishingly varied career spanned both Europe and Hollywood, was also championed by Orson Welles, Ingmar Bergman, and Graham Greene. This retrospective offers a rare chance to discover the work of this influential filmmaker.
Working in a darkly poetic realist style—Greene wrote admiringly that "his mood is violent, and belongs to the underside of the stone"—Duvivier made popular melodramas, thrillers, religious epics, comedies, wartime propaganda, musicals, and literary adaptations of novels by Émile Zola, Leo Tolstoy, and Georges Simenon. This exhibition features rarities and revelations, as well as masterpieces starring the great actor Jean Gabin, including La belle équipe (1936), Pépé le Moko (1937), and Deadlier Than the Male (1956). Also featured is Duvivier's favorite among his films, Poil de Carotte (1932), a heartbreaking chronicle of childhood.
