Webinar on Paying the USCIS Immigrant Fee
Customers who receive an immigrant visa packet at an overseas U.S. Embassy or Consulate must pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee in order to receive a Permanent Resident Card (commonly referred to as a Green Card) in the United States. On May 19, 2013, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) incorporated the payment process for the USCIS Immigrant Fee into USCIS ELIS, the USCIS Electronic Immigration System. Payment of the USCIS Immigrant fee in USCIS ELIS allows us to better serve our customers by simplifying and centralizing the payment process and by providing customers with up-to-date and detailed processing status information.
USCIS hosted two webinars on Friday, August 16, 2013, to inform customers how to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee in USCIS ELIS and to answer questions about the system:

Hey Everyone,
I know most people care about the wait times on Form 1s and 4s, but I thought I would share my recent Form 5 information.
I am sending a HK rifle out for some work and I submitted a Form 5 because I was shipping it out of state to a gunsmith. It took exactly 45 days from the day I snail mailed my paper Form 5s to the day I got it back approved.
I thought I would share in case anyone cared about the processing times on such forms.

My first view of
was at nightfall when the
entire city bathed in the floodlights. My eyes could not take in this fascinating
scenery; it was a mere flash, a snapshot of columns and arches, of waving and fluted
lines, of temples and streets whose warm tones strongly contrasted with the
black velvet night sky. The mirage disappeared with a blink of the eye, but
tomorrow looked most promising! Palmyra
For the next one hundred years, business boomed thanks to
Palmyra's intensive
trading with Persia, India, and China
and even with the Parthians who for many years were the enemies of . The well-travelled
Emperor Hadrian inevitably visited Rome in
129 AD and he was so much taken by this city that he renamed it Palmyra
Hadriana and declared it independent. Unfortunately the good days did
not last and in 212 it became a Roman colony. From then onward it played a mere
military role and its trading regressed, especially when the Sassanids occupied
the lands between Tigris and Palmyra Euphrates in the
third century AD.
However, in 256/257
King Odenathus (Septimus Edeinat)
was held in high esteem by the Roman Emperor
Valerian who appointed him Consul and
Governor of the province Syria-Phoenicia that belonged to since 194 AD. A few years
later, Valerian was killed by the
Sassanids (see: Sassanid reliefs tell a story oftheir own in Persia) and apparently Odenathus felt morally obligated to
revenge the emperor's death. He pursued the Sassanids to their capital Palmyra Ctesiphon, situated on the Tigris
River, on the opposite bank of ,
but failed to take the city. Seleucia
At this period of time
had reached its glory, much to the chagrin of and Odenathus was murdered under obscure circumstances. His wife, Queen Zenobia
took over and ruled in the name of her minor son Vaballath. Zenobia was a
tough lady who caused quite a stir in history. Classical as well as Arabic
sources describe her as handsome and intelligent, with a dark skin,
pearly-white teeth and sharp black eyes. She is said to be more beautiful than Cleopatra, yet very chaste. Zenobia could ride a horse like a man,
and on hunting or drinking parties she stood her man. She also was very
learned, being fluent in Arabic, Greek, Aramean, and Egyptian and had a good
knowledge of Latin. She was a sophisticated hostess and entertained
philosophers and poets, among whom the famous Cassius Longinus. This Longinus
wrote especially for her one of his masterpieces in which he integrated now lost
parts of love poems by Sappho of Lesbos,
who composed them in the 6th century BC. Rome
Zenobia also was very ambitious and extended her territory to the west, occupying Bosra, and in 269-270 she even marched all the way to
on the way back she took the -on-the-Orontes.
She even managed to annex a big part of Anatolia including Ancyra ( harbour
of Antioch )
in her empire. As can be expected, the Romans were not grateful for her
interference and in 272 Emperor Aurelian
took Ankara Antioch-on-the-Orontes back, followed
by Emesa
( Homs)
and finally also .
Zenobia tried to escape by fleeing
across the Euphrates but she was captured and taken to Palmyra , together with her son, Vaballath. Rome
Vaballath probably died on the way to
. In
274 Zenobia appears in golden chains
during Aurelian's triumphal march
through Rome .
Out of pity but also taken by her beauty and pride, he granted Zenobia her freedom and installed her in
an elegant villa at Tibur (today's Rome ), where she lived under her
Roman name of Iulia (or Julia) Aurelia Zenobia. She spent her days in wealth and became a prominent philosopher, hostess
and Roman matron. She married a Roman governor and senator whose name is not
known, giving him several daughters who all married into prominent Roman
families. Some sources mention that Zenobia
committed suicide after Aurelian's
defeat, but that is not very credible. A great number of her descendents have
been traced to far into the 4th and 5th century. Tivoli, Italy
In the meantime,
had not been entirely
forgotten. Emperor Diocletian enlarged
the city in order to install his Roman legions in all comfort and built a city
wall to protect them against a possible invasion by the Sassanids from Palmyra . Later
the Byzantines constructed several churches, but after the conquest by the
Arabs Persia played only a marginal role. Palmyra
It is still early and bone-chilling when I arrive at the site of
on this November day in 2009.
The blistering wind chases freely through the colonnades and ruins but
strangely enough the surrounding hills remain shrouded in a low foggy veil – an
eerie scenery. For a moment I pause to get my bearings and it all seems too
much to take in, so many columns, stones, arches, walls, streets, remains, etc.
I am totally overwhelmed and have to kick myself to move on. Palmyra
My visit starts at the eastern city gate, very appropriately called the Monumental Arch, consisting of three Roman arches of which the middle one is the largest and leads immediately unto the unpaved main street. We owe this arch to Septimus Severus (193-211 AD) who ingeniously built it with a twist to cover up the 30-degrees-angle between the Decumanus on one side of the arch and the Temple of Nebo on the other side. Nebo or Nabo was the Mesopotamian god of oracles, later assimilated with Apollo – hence the importance of this temple. The remains are still imposing with its columns along the temenos in reserved Doric style, while the columns of the temple itself are enhanced with Corinthian capitals.
With wide open eyes I set foot on the Great Colonnade Street or Decumanus with its wonderful 10-meter-high monolithic columns crowned with Corinthian capitals. Each column has an empty pedestal where rich or prominent gentiles could place their likeness against payment that is. Public Relations even in those days were an important tool!
Then I come across the Baths of Zenobia, a rather large bathing complex where the Frigidarium as well as the Tepidarium and the Caldarium are clearly recognizable. At the entrance there are four remarkable pink granite monolithic columns, which with their Corinthian capitals stand in pleasant contrast with the white-pinkish stones used for the construction of the Baths.
On the opposite side of the street, I find the remains of the theatre which looks too small for a city like
Appearances are deceptive for originally this theatre from the 2nd
century AD must have counted at least 30 tiers of seats but only nine have
survived. The stage with the entire scaena however is still in excellent
condition. The theatre has obviously been restored to be used for local
festivals. The high stone wall around the orchestra indicates that it was also
used for wild animals' fights, a favourite sport of the Romans. Palmyra
At an angle lies the Agora, also from the 2nd century, complete with its annexes. The market area is well preserved as are a number of the surrounding shops and buildings. It is always exciting to discover that beside the original columns, the 2,000 years-old walls of the building have survived, including their windows and doorframes.
Elegant typical Roman arches are still marking the crossroads along this Great Colonnade Street, and that's how I reach the Tetrapylon, a group of four times four columns. Only one of the sixteen pink granite columns is original, imported all the way from
Aswan in .
The other columns are modern copies but clearly illustrate the key position of
this Tetrapylon at the bend in the Great Colonnade Street. This
1200-meters-long street or Decumanus although very impressive, is however
shorter than the main street at Apamea (see: Apamea, heritage of Alexander), which I found more impressive. It may seem strange that
this street was never paved but the reason therefore is that the camels needed
a comfortable passage through the city – an animal friendly consideration! With
its porticoes and sidewalks this Decumanus
was exceptionally wide and measured nothing less than Egypt 23 meters! This avenue
alone would be worth the visit.
On this sidewalk, I discover a long row of connecting pipes belonging to an aqueduct. An awkward place, but not so when you realize that this aqueduct ran on top of the colonnade along the Decumanus. The image brings back memories of the grand aqueduct of Aspendos (see: Aspendos the unfaithful) in
where I saw these elements for the first time. Turkey
And that is how I reach the columns carrying the inscriptions of Zenobia, a bilingual text in Greek and Palmyrean. On one columns one can read that it was dedicated by the rulers of Tadmor to their king and master Odenathus. The other column was dedicated to Septimia Bath-Zabbai (in Greek, Zenobia), their religious and saintly queen.
From afar the Citadel with the Arabian fortress probably built in the 13th century by the Mameluks controls the landscape. However, what we see here dates mainly from the early 17th century when Emir Fakhr-ud-Ding-ibn-Ma'ani occupied what is now Syria and Lebanon, and constructed a number of strongholds as a defence against the Ottomans. It is a constant backdrop in between the columns and streets of
and a photogenic one for that matter. Palmyra
Walking northwards, I stop at the Temple of Baal-Shamin, the god of rain and fertility. It was built around 150 AD and is very well preserved because the Byzantines converted it into a church. It is a cosy temple that somehow reminds me of the Temple of Nike high on the Acropolis in
except that is has Corinthian columns and a window in the sidewall. The inside
is very inviting with the antique naos
in the back, now a semi-circular apse with slender columns. It is a lovely
spot, in the shade of a young tree that grows within its sheltering walls. Athens
Keeping the best for last is a visit to the magnificent Temple of Bel that I treated in a separate blog (see: The Temple of Bel at Palmyra – In Memoriam).
A visit is, of course, not complete without a stop at one of the many tower tombs with their underground Hypogea. I have never seen anything like it, but there always is a first time for everything. After the Valley of the Queens in Egypt, this is the largest and most impressive collection of tombs. Surprisingly the entire landscape between the city walls of
the surrounding hills is dotted with square towers or remains thereof,
containing burial sites underground as well as above ground. They generally can
be dated to between the 9th century BC and the 2nd
century AD. I am told there are as many as 150 tombs, a significant number. Yet
I have no idea what to expect. Palmyra
The tower-tomb of the Elahbel Family from 103 AD seems to be the most popular, and that is no wonder. I step inside a rather large rectangular room, deeper than it is wide and pretty high as well. The ceiling is still intact and is made of colourful starry caissons with in its centre four portraits of the founders set against a bright blue background. What a beauty! The long side walls are meant to receive the remains of the dead in one of the four stories high slots. In this way there was enough space for future generations, at least 300 family members. The vertical pillars separating the rows are fluted and crowned with a Corinthian capital. To the left of the entrance door is a staircase that leads to the upper floor, meaning that access to the superposed niches was easy enough.
Unfortunately I am running out of time and I have to skip the less impressive remains on the north-western side of Palmyra with the Temple of Allat, the Temple with the Emblems, the Grave Temple, the Camp of Diocletian and especially the Oval Forum – although I was curious whether it was as big as the one at Gerasa (Jerash) in Jordan; probably not since I haven't seen any picture so far.
Yes, I am one of the lucky few to have seen this great and glorious city with my own eyes. The famous
(see: The Temple of Bel at Palmyra – In Memoriam) survived wars and conflicts for nearly two
thousand years to shine in all its glory. This glory is gone now in 2015 as
this great sanctuary and many other precious buildings have been blasted to
dust. A part of the world's history has been annihilated and obliterated. Our
ancestors deserved a better fate. Temple of Bel
My story and my pictures are a praise to
rich memory and to all those brave forefathers and fellow citizens who have
lived there and lead the city to its greatness. Palmyra

Garages can contain thousands of pounds worth of bicycles, power tools and gardening equipment, yet many homeowners give little thought to their garage security. In this guide we explain how to keep your belongings safe and ensure you have adequate garage insurance.
Improve your locks
'Up and over' garage doors are usually fitted with a central locking door handle, which are often quite weak and easily broken by burglars. A simple solution is to drill a hole in the top channel above the wheels and insert a padlock into the hole. This prevents the wheel moving above the padlock, thereby keeping the door closed.
If your garage has a wooden pedestrian side door, you should be able to fit a mortice deadlock, with at least five levers, conforming to British Standard (BS) 3621.
If you keep bicycles in your garage, you will not normally receive a payout for theft unless the garage was locked.
Large and expensive items in the garage, such as bicycles and lawn mowers, should be shackled together and if possible secured to a permanent fixture such as a cemented metal post
Get an alarm
If your home already has a burglar alarm it is worth extending this to the garage as well. Alternatively you can buy separate garage alarms, operated either by battery or from the mains electricity, from DIY stores.
What's in your garage?
Valuable items such as power tools, golf clubs or telescopes should be stored securely in your home, not in a garage where they are more vulnerable to theft.
Large and expensive items in the garage, such as bicycles and lawn mowers, should be shackled together and if possible secured to a permanent fixture such as a cemented metal post. This will make it difficult for thieves to remove.
Cover against theft
Belongings in your garage are normally covered for theft under your home contents insurance. Most policies have a maximum limit for theft of around £5,000 for 'outbuildings', which includes your garage, shed, summer house and greenhouse.
Have a think about the total value of stuff stored in your garage and other outbuildings. Would your home insurance payout be enough to compensate you? If not, talk to your insurer to see if it can provide additional cover.
It's worth remembering that insurers have a 'single article limit' which is the most it will pay to replace one specific item, regardless of where it is kept. This limit varies amongst insurers but is normally between £1,500 and £3,000.
Anything above this limit kept in your garage should be specifically declared to your insurer, otherwise you will not receive its full value if the item is stolen or damaged. Additional cover can usually be arranged at an extra cost.
Cover against fire, flood and storm
Have you thought about what would happen to your belongings if your garage became flooded, or there was a fire? What about if a vehicle crashed into your garage door, or a tree fell on top of the roof?
Repair of the garage itself should be covered under your home buildings insurance. The term 'building' normally refers not just to the bricks and mortar of your house, but your garage and other outbuildings as well.
Cover for damage done to your belongings in these scenarios would be included in your home contents policy. Unlike for theft, there is not normally a maximum pay-out limit for damage caused by fire, flood or storm.

Chandelier Rewired
Well, after a winter with a hole in the bedroom ceiling, our chandelier is back and operational.
If you read this post, you know the sad story of how the old wiring exploded one day. I found a store in Vancouver that regularly rewires old chandeliers, so I sent my husband there one day when he was on a business trip to Vancouver. Another day, he had to pick it up and drive it to the CSA offices in Richmond for the sticker of approval all electricians need to see before they will install a light in Canada. I think it was the first time they saw an individual with one old light in that place. They were used to dealing with huge importers of lighting fixtures and I'm sure they are talking about my husband to this day. The story is not over, however, for they found more grounding work for the repair shop to do. So back my poor dear husband went (I told him to imagine he was working for Sarah Richardson) to the repair place in Vancouver, then back again to Richmond to the CSA office, where by now he was on first name basis. Yeah! It got the little blue sticker.
Then all I had to do was rehang the crystals and call the local electrician to install it. The repair place told him it was 1930s European. I still maintain the repair and approval costs were worth it and all together cost less than buying a new fixture with much less character.
Now the room feels finished, and well lit when it needs to be.

Have a masked crusader running around your home and looking for just the right themed Halloween or birthday party idea? A superhero theme party can be a rock solid choice. And you can deliver a stellar one when you've got just the right superhero party supplies. Here you'll get a checklist of the most essential ones, along with some super superhero party ideas to nail the experience.
A Superhero Theme Party: Hitting The Perfect Note
Superheroes are a big part of growing up. These days they're a big part of adulthood too, with all of the blockbuster movies that hit every summer. But when you're a kid, there's something about enjoying Spider-Man's adventures, seeing the Incredible Hulk smash, or watching Ironman don his suit that just brings out pure energy.
If your little one is one of the many with this superhero bug, a theme party celebrating his or her favorites can be an excellent surprise! Whether as a birthday party or a Halloween special event, a superhero theme party packs a wallop of fun. You can choose to focus on only one superhero (like a Spider-Man theme party) or open the gates up wide and celebrate the genre in total! The latter (which is focused on here) is a smart way to engage all the kids since there are more than likely lots of different favorites at any given party.
Superhero Party Supplies: Your "Must-Have" Checklist
However you go about it, you're going to need to start with the right party supplies to power up the perfect atmosphere. Never fear, the checklist here is your ticket to nailing it. It covers the musts that you need to make an event that the kids will love.
Superhero invitations
Superheroes may appear unannounced, but that is never any good for a theme party! You've got to stir up the excitement for whatever the theme may be. This way the kids will have something to look forward to for the weeks coming up. Plus, if you want it to be a superhero costume party, this gives the parents the proper notice and time to prep!
Superhero wall stickers and balloons
Tying together the rest of your space is a big need to deliver a full superhero experience. There should be no corner of your room that doesn't feel the part, and that's easiest to accomplish with superhero balloons and wall stickers. Balloons look great in hard to decorate corners and wall stickers are a front and center decoration that can actually steal the show! Some of the superhero wall stickers out there are pretty fantastic.

Having a great theme party, but delivering a boring cake is no good! This is the star of the show, so it needs just the right superhero cake topper to make it memorable. If you've got a bit of a baking talent, you can opt here for making your own superhero cake using a customized cake tin.
Superhero figurines
Make your space really fun by sticking superhero figurines all around the tables and other surfaces in the room. These serve a smart double purpose: not only do they make great accent pieces, but they can be superhero party favors that the kids can take with them at the end of the party. They'll love that option.

Think of the food table in your space as the Hall of Justice: It's where all your little superheroes are going to congregate. So keeping the theme alive there is important. There's a wide variety of paper plates, table covers, napkins, and more that feature all the biggest superheroes.
Superhero thumb wrestlers
What would a superhero party be without some epic battles? You don't want the kids hurting each other, so stick to some good old-fashioned thumb wrestling! With some superhero thumb wrestlers (they slide onto the tip of your thumb), the kids can pit their favorite heroes against each other in a really fun way.

Superhero costume masks
If you aren't announcing your party as an official superhero costume party, you can still give the kids the fun of looking the part in an inexpensive way. Masks make a nice touch for your bash, and the children attending will love playing up the roles of superheroes (or perhaps even super villains).
Create-a-cape activity sets
Like the costume masks, you can deliver many fun ways for the kids to dress up! And this one has the additional benefit of being interactive. The kids can create their own capes which is a fun way for them to really think out of the box. You could even set up a "create your own superhero" party station featuring masks and all the things needed to create a cape fitting their newly imagined crime fighting personae. It's a really amazing way to get the kids involved with the theme.

Superhero loot bags
No young crime fighter should go home empty-handed from a superhero theme party, and you can even theme out the bags they take home with them! It's a simple touch, but a nice one that the children will certainly appreciate.
Superhero party favors
What do you fill those bags with? All sorts of party favors (or loot) that make great reminders of the day's awesome theme. You can throw in one of those superhero figurines (or have the children pick their favorites from the space). Other great choices include superhero temporary tattoos, stickers, and candy. Really there's a lot of things that can work as party favors, so put your imagination to work here. Remember, this bag will be the thing the kids remember the party by, so make it special!
If you cover these superhero party supplies, your event will be in great shape to deliver the goods for the kids! But don't stop there, there are lots of other great supplies that you can layer into your superhero theme party to make it even cooler. Think of the smiles you'll have among the kids when you nail this party, and get to it!

Ancient Armored Fish May Have Given Humans Jaws
The news about the discovery of an ancient armored fish fossil in China turned out the be much more interesting than considered. This particular placoderm (extinct species of fish) lived in one of tropical sees about 423 million years ago. It was covered with a bony armor and had three plates that were used for cutting food and eating it. The latter characteristic was what made scientists interested in the finding, as the jaws of this species may be connected to the development of human jaws.
The first study on the ancient armored fish was published in the Science journal a couple of days ago. The finding was considered to be Quilinyu rostrata of placoderms, which were the first fish, as well as the first ever vertebrate, which used jaws to hunt and eat.
The first kinds of vertebrates that appeared more than 500 million years ago had tiny mouths which they used to suck smaller creatures. Placoderms turned out to be a major breakthrough in the evolution of life on Earth, having three bones that are also featured in the jaw structures of most modern vertebrates, including humans.
The three bones are the maxilla and premaxilla that create the upper jaw, and the dentary that completes the structure with the lower jaw. The scientists who are working on the study are almost sure these bones in modern structures are the result of evolving from the three plates the ancient armored fish had.
Earlier it was considered that the jaw development began with the first species of bony fish. They appeared later than placoderms, and the new study may change the situation by making 500 million years ago the starting point of the future human jaws development.
The Qilinyu rostrate isn't the first placoderm fossil to be found. The first one was the Entelognathus that was discovered back in 2013 and was dated a 419-million-year old ancient armored fish. By far there are the only two fossils and both were found near China. They are considered the golden mean between the ancient placoderms and bony fish that developed later.
With the first fossil finding the scientists were not completely sure about the origins of the fish. The Entelognathus looked like a placoderm, but it had the three-bone jaw that wasn't a characteristic feature of ancient fish that were not bony fish.
After the second finding – the Quilinyu – the scientists placed both species closer to the placoderm group, but in fact, they are a missing part of a jaw-developing chain between placoderms' gnathal plates and bony fish jaws.
The Quilinyu rostrata fossil is 5'' long, and the whole body must be about 8''. After it was compared to other 372 species of ancient fish, the scientists decided to put in near the Entelognathus, which strengthened the theory about their value in the development of modern vertebrates' jaws.
The study continues, so it's not 100% clear whether the theory is true or not. The scientists search for new fossils and investigate the two that were found within recent years, as they may complete the history of human jaws.

Last night, I was looking for more info on the Grundig G8 mentioned in another thread.
This site seems awfully useful to me, in terms of number of radios tested, and the criteria (sensitivity and selectivity being at the top of the list) as it applies to AM DX or just plain listening to non-locals:
I missed it last night, but now see that many of the radios have more complete reviews accessible from the bottom of the page.
No date that I could find on the page, and some of the radios haven't been in production for decades.
Still, some good info there.

Everything's going according to plan. You and your elite team of Navy SEALs have infiltrated a nuclear-armed North Korea and are prepared to make your way back to safe ground. But before the team can cross over, an all-out war erupts between North and South Korea, stranding your unit behind enemy lines. With miles of unfriendly terrain between you and home, nothing but the absolute best troops can hope to survive.
Luckily, Rogue Warrior plants those crack troops squarely in your command. After robbing everyone's life with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Bethesda's decided to move onto the crowded FPS squad-shooter market, but it's brought along a few ideas that just might differentiate Warrior from all the Rainbows and SOCOMs.
Right away you'll notice the graphics. They've got that "holy crap!" look to them that's become indicative of almost all 360/PS3 games of late. We could rattle off some impressive words like "shader technology" and of course "the Unreal 3 engine," but all you need to know is that the water looks good enough to drink.
Chiming in just underneath the visuals is the overall level of detail in this digital Korea. Developer Zombie Studios has been working with infamous former SEAL Richard "Dick" Marcinko and other officials to insure Warrior's authenticity. This allegedly translates into gameplay that feels legit, sounds even better and plays out like real life, not a showboating Hollywood film. Rationing ammo, sneaking instead of shooting and out-thinking your enemy are all familiar mechanics, but perhaps with so many genuine heads involved, Warrior will offer something more.

GoPro IPO goes well, stock surges to over $31 per share
GoPro IPO has proven to be very successful for the company as shares surge to over $31 each in trading
By: Shane McGlaun | Business, Financial & Legal News | Posted: Jun 27, 2014 4:04 pm

GoPro cameras can do just about anything from recording racetrack antics for car guys to diving into the ocean depths. The rugged camera is among the most popular for sports fans of all types for recording their fun. GoPro went public this week with an IPO that kicked off yesterday.
GoPro began its IPO with share prices set at $24 per share. The stock surged in trading to over $31 per share in trading. GoPro raised about $425 million and is now valued at nearly $3 billion.
After the IPO, GoPro has about 123 million shares outstanding. GoPro currently holds about 45% of the camcorder market in the US by dollars, but the company is facing some serious competition with other firms, like Google, stepping into the wearable camcorder market.

High-quality coffee labelled Arabica may not be all it seems.
A study has shown that inferior beans were mixed into a tenth of products labelled 100% Arabica.
Scientists used a new and more accurate method of testing coffee quality on samples on sale at shops and supermarkets.
They found significant levels of inferior and cheaper 'Robusta' beans in the premium products.
Arabica coffee trades at twice the price of Robusta because of its superior taste.
At some point, this means that the premium beans were fraudulently swapped with the cheaper ones.
Robusta coffee is higher yielding and easier to grow, so this has always been a potential problem.
But finding rogue Robusta in a sample labelled Arabica is not easy, especially after grinding and roasting.
The standard technique detects the fingerprint chemical 16-OMC, which is only found in Robusta coffee, but is costly and takes three days.
This makes large scale surveillance impractical.
The new method takes only 30 minutes and is sensitive enough to detect just 1% Robusta in a blended coffee.
Lead scientist Dr Kate Kemsley, from the Quadram Institutec, said: 'This is an important milestone for detecting fraud in coffee, as 1% is the generally accepted cut-off between trace contamination, which might be accidental, and more deliberate adulteration for economic gain.'
For the study a total of 60 different coffee samples were purchased in consumer countries around the world, including 22 from the UK.
Two of the samples flagged as 'suspicious' were bought in the UK. One contained 1.6% Robusta and the other 21.7%.
Other UK samples had notable levels of 16-OMC but fell below the 'suspicious' threshold.
Suspicious samples were also obtained from the US, Italy, France and Estonia. One US sample was a third Robusta, despite being labelled 100% Arabica.
A spokesman for the Quadram Institute said it was not possible to name the brands involved.
The findings not only affect consumers, but also undermine efforts to ensure that smallholders in developing countries are paid a fair price for the coffee they grow, said the researchers.
The research, published in the journal Food Chemistry, was funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and had no support from the coffee industry.

Good read and comparison. Turns out either setup will do you great, but if I had to pick one I would probably try and go with the SLI just because it might be useful for games in the future that can take advantage of it.

I knew too much medicine could be dangerous for children, but this dangerous? Five-year-old Kimber Michelle Brown died from an overdose of two over-the-counter cold medicines while she was staying with her grandmother.
According to her autopsy, she had twice the limit of dextromethorphan (found in cough syrup) and high levels of Cetrizine (found in cold medicine). Coroner Dr. Carol Huser says it was the combination of these two medications that killed Kimber. And Dr. Huser thinks this horrible incident should be an important reminder to us: "People do not understand medication you buy off the supermarket shelf can be harmful. Common drugs like aspirin, Tylenol, and Benadryl will kill you if you take too much of them." For that matter, should we be giving young children under 6 cold medicine at all?
Pediatricians don't recommend cold medicine for children under 4, and many don't recommend it for older children, either. As with adult cold medications, these medicines may treat the symptoms but they won't cure your cold or even help you get well faster. And the risks from overdose and side effects aren't worth the relief for children. Here's what the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends for relieving symptoms.
Stuffy nose: Saline nose drops and cool vapor mist.
Cough: Honey -- seriously. Half a teaspoon of honey for children aged 2 to 5 years, 1 teaspoon for children aged 6 to 11 years, and 2 teaspoons for children 12 years and older. It's not considered safe to give honey to babies under 1 year. This works for adults, too!
Fever, aches, and pains: For babies under 6 months, acetaminophen, and for children over 6 months, acetaminophen or ibuprofen as directed by your pediatrician.
And here's something I didn't know: Leg pain, cramps, and muscle spasms can be symptoms that your child has had toxic levels of medication. So if your child does end up getting cold medicine, watch out for those symptoms.
Have you ever treated your children with cold medicine? Do you have favorite homeopathic remedies for cold symptoms?

Good news - Merle is home at last... Yay... I have spoken with her a few times and she loves being home and slowly trying to get back into a routine again.. As yet she hasn't had the energy to do much other then eat and sleep and watch some TV. Hence why she isn't updating you all herself.
Thank you all for your kind words and prays.

Mental Shift 11: Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth

Hello Robin.
Just reading your blog - 'Too many cooks spoil the broth'.
I am particularly interested in what you write about how children (0-6) learn, with which I completely agree, and how parents are led to believe incorrectly that children learn through individual sessions with individual therapists. Can you direct me to research sources on this topic please - how children (0-6) learn (in natural environments.
Thank you,

My daughter suffered from autism for more than 2 years which we started experiencing in her when she turned 1 year and 5 months we all thought it will end but got even worse as days went by. We tried all several treatments and therapy prescribed by various doctors we met but to no avail, she lost total concentration and always complain of sensitivity to sound . She usually tells me she haves poor eyes contact. This were steady disorder that disrupted her entire life, even at night she slept less because of this.It was during a casual conversation with a friend that i learned about Dr Williams herbal medicine I was able to contact him on his email address. and give him all the necessary information that he needed,few day later he sent me the herbal portion and his medicine was able to restore her back to normal and she is very okay now without any side effects whatsoever.if you are also experiencing this ailment, do not hesitate to contact him on autismepilepsy.blogspot.com for advice and for his product. I hope this also helps someone out there.

Hello everyone!,
well here I am writing up the events of my last weekend in the awesome place that is the big apple!
Saturday was when I was determinded to see West Side Story! so I got up after having a very long lie in and made my way into manhattan! I just went straight to the theatre and got a ticket for $45 so I was happy and really looking forward to the show! I then came back to the dorms and got ready and then me and Sasha headed out for the show! Sasha was determinded she was a McDonalds so we went to the one in Times Square. I felt proper american after eating it and slightly fatter! It funny because when we were eating there was a guy asleep at the table next to us but he was dressed up as Micheal Jackson and I all I could think was he isnt dead he is just taking a nap in McDonalds!
We go to the theatre and climbing hundreds of stairs to get to our seat! it was really high up and steep so I didnt really like peering over the egde! but you could see everything on the stage so I wasnt bothered at all! The dancing in the show was amazing! it was very much like the film and used moves form it. I thought that guy that played tony had an amazing voice! he sang with no effort! I did like the Maria but I do think she could have acted a little better and spoke louder! even with a mic I could hardly hear her! But when the whole cast came together in the gym hall scene, which is my favourite, it was electric! the stage just came alive!
This show is definitly one of my favourite musicals in the classic catergory! I could see a lot of stage combat in the rumble and I was like I can do that! and that!
After the show I just came back to the dorms and watched a film on tv and headed to bed!
On sunday it was 4th of july so not a lot of things were open but I didnt really have any plans but me and Liza decided to go to Forever 21 and do some shopping! I freaking love that shop! I think we spent about two hours in there! then we just headed home! we went down the promenade to watch the fireworks but it turns out they were on the other side of the island so we couldnt see them! I was gutted! I was like noooooooo! Ive never experienced indepenance day before!
After that I just went back to the room and went to sleep! it was so hot over the weekend and it just seemed to knock the life out of me!
On monday me, mimi and cassy headed to Coney Island! This time is was quiet and we could get right down the beach this time! I felt that it was much hotter so I was suffereing a little bit! After spending some time there we headed back. We made a stop at bath and body works so I could pick a present! We had Monday off school because it was a holiday weekend! It felt really strange because I kept thinking that the Tuesday was a Monday totally confused me!
So that was my last weekend in NYC! I am gutted that I will be going home and leaving this amazing city behind but I am looking forward to coming back to normal things like food I know, Money I know and most importantly my bed! The one I have here is very uncomfortable! Just cant wait to see some familar and loving faces!
Speak to you all soon!

These extreme cheeseburger fries are stuffed with actual McDonald's cheeseburgers.
The DIY 'McFry' is made by thinly slicing McDonald's cheeseburgers, then breading and frying them. The indulgent cheeseburger fries are the brainchild of chef blogger Tym Bussanich. In his own words, "I hope the Internet is ready for it..." The cheese and fry-obsessed culinary artist is also responsible for such creations as the bacon-wrapped Big Mac, steak bomb and cheddar-stuffed tortilla chip, as well as more gourmet fare, like chicken parmesan-wrapped asparagus.
In the wake of shows and vlogs like Epic Meal Time, bloggers, celebrity chefs and amateur foodies have competed to showcase their skills in making the most indulgent, cheesiest and most bacon-covered foods possible. These cheeseburger fries are sure to cause a stir in the extreme food blogosphere.

Czech Republic. Hosting three very influential cultures, the history of the Czech Republic is one of constant struggle. Formerly part of the Holy Roman Empire, the land was taken by communism during WWII and subsequently has settled its place amongst the top democratic societies of the world. Ranking 28th in the Human Development Index, this region is an incredibly progressive melting pot of cultures (Eastern European, Jewish, and Slavic). Featuring numerous castles, gothic cathedrals, and other medieval architecture, there is something to see for everyone.
Boasting one of the most diverse geographies in Europe, there is no shortage of rolling plains, sprawling woodland, flowing rivers, plateaus surrounded by low maintains, and cozy valleys. The landlocked country is naturally connected to the rest of the world, with three rivers emptying into the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and the Black Sea. The awesome power of trade these lands provide is no doubt responsible for the area being heavily contested throughout history.
It is also said to be responsible for the myth of the Vampire, as archeologists have found odd grave sites that bore fundamental differences from your standard cemeteries of the time. The residents of the day buried these men with stakes in their hearts, decapitated the corpse, and even went so far as to keep the burials separate from consecrated land.
Of course, being occupied by so many multi-faceted cultures, there are plenty of gourmet foods to be explored! From Medovnik (a flaky multi-layered "pie") to sauerkraut, Obložené Chlebíčky (Czech finger food), a litany of pastries, traditional Goulash, and of course the famous fruit filled, sweet dough wrapped Kolaches. A landscape riddled with charming bohemian villages, birthplace of the Pilsener beer, host to the fantastic spectacle that is Prague, you won't want to leave anytime soon!

I just came to check on this post and realized it posted my old draft! So if you saw it earlier and wondered why there was no explanation, I apologize. :(
This is the second of two goth manis I made recently for a goth challenge in one of my stamping groups. It didn't come out quite the way I liked because I stamped with a holo and the light didn't come out! So it turned out a bit too subtle.
I started with a base coat of Orly Galaxy Girl:
|Orly Galaxy Girl--on of my favorites :)
I added that bottom picture in an attempt to show the purple holo background stamping a little bit better; honestly, the tips on the non-accent nails were probably just too subtle even if the sun had been out.
I love these kinds of goth manicure and even though this one wasn't a huge success, I still enjoyed it and I hope you do too!
Thanks for stopping by,

Art auction for fire-hit Sheffield Reclaim charity
Artwork is to be auctioned off to raise money to help a charity for adults with learning difficulties.
A huge blaze destroyed part of the building at Reclaim's plant in Attercliffe, Sheffield in July.
It meant adults who meet on site to sort and recycle plastic and learn life skills have lost their place of work.
The auction at the end of September will raise cash to help the charity's rebuilding efforts.
Liz Carrington, from Reclaim, said the recycling processing facility had been destroyed so the charity was not able to generate its own income to help pay for the rebuild.
Ms Carrington said: "The charity is extremely important to our service users, some of whom have been with us for over 15 years.
"It gives them a purpose in life and a sense of belonging."
The event will see the work of seven artists being displayed, with the artwork sold off in a silent auction.
The exhibition, which takes place at B&B gallery on Mary Street, Sheffield on 28 and 29 September, will also feature art created by adults who use the charity.
South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the fire started in a neighbouring yard and was accidental.

n August, a paper entitled Inter-Governmental Group on Fuller Working Lives appeared. It was an irrelevant document that did nothing to tackle the growing threat of poverty for older people.
The numbers aged 65 and over is estimated to increase from 570,000 in 2013 to 855,000 in 2026. But the government has already raided the National Pension Reserve Fund that was designated to pay for these growing numbers.
Workers contributed to this fund but it was literally stolen. There was 22 billion in it when the Celtic Tiger crashed but about 17 billion was used to bail out the banks. The rest was used to set up an Irish Strategic Investment Fund which has become a means of funnelling cheap credit to business people. read full story / add a comment

The Irish Cancer Society are organising two talks to promote the unsafe HPV vaccine and thereby are implicated in promoting this dangerous vaccine. The talks are titled: 'The HPV Vaccine Warts And All' and will take place in Galway on August 23 and Cork on August 24.
The Gardasil / HPV vaccine which has been pushed on first year secondary school girls around this country (and elsewhere) for the past number of years has destroyed the lives so far of over 300 girls leaving them with debilitating conditions. A parents support group called R.E.G.R.E.T. (Reaction and Effects of Gardasil Resulting in Extreme Trauma) has formed to provide support and document the damage. However this vaccine has been pushed by the Dept of Health on unsuspecting parents who foolishly put their trust in these authorities who told them and continue to claim the vaccine is safe. And all of this for a condition that is not even contagious.

Both men were arrested at Shannon Airport on May 25th, after entering the airfield, painting anti war markings & slogans on the runway, and then making their way over to a USAF C21 jet, (a 2nd military aircraft, an unmarked special forces C32B had already taken off before the presence of the men was detected by the Army sentries). The men were inside the perimeter walking around with a very large tricolour flag for 40 minutes before they were spotted by the Irish Army, approaching the US Airforce Jet.
They were held for over 24 hours, then brought to Gort where the Judge granted a state application for their bail conditions to ban them from entering County Clare other than for court related matters.
Yesterday they were in Ennis District Court, where they applied for disclosure (copies of statements and other evidence) and a variation on their bail conditions. read full story / add a comment

Shannonwatch have recorded an unusual number of US military aircraft at and overflying Shannon Airport since June 4th. This time period coincides with the preparations for NATO Anaconda-2016 military exercises in Poland which are being conducted from June 7th to 17th. (See list below)
The 10-day military exercise [1], involves 31,000 troops and thousands of vehicles from 24 countries. The Guardian [2] described it as follows "The largest war game in eastern Europe since the end of the cold war has started in Poland, as Nato and partner countries seek to mount a display of strength as a response to concerns about Russia's assertiveness and actions". The UK Independent [3] said it was one of the biggest exercises on NATO's eastern flank since the end of the Cold War, and was a move likely to put further strain on the already-tense relations between the Kremlin and the West read full story / add a comment

AAA-PBP Motion calls for Ministerial order to cap charges and reinstate waivers for low income families
Dail debate and vote to take place next week on AAA-PBP motion calling for immediate government action to prevent planned increase in waste charges
Next week, the Dail will debate and vote upon a AAA-PBP Private Members Motion calling for an immediate Ministerial order to prevent private waste companies from implementing the planned dramatic increases in household waste charges.
The motion submitted today by AAA-PBP will be debated in the Dail next Tuesday
Bin charges are set to rise by between 100 and 200%. These charges will inflict an unsustainable burden for hard pressed households if the proposed increases by private waste companies are implemented and will undoubtedly lead to a dramatic increase in illegal dumping. read full story / add a comment

The FG TD Tony McLoughlin has tabled a private members bill to ban fracking. There have been two previous motions to ban fracking, the first by People Before Profit and the second by Sinn Fein. However, this third attempt has come from an unexpected quarter -from within the ranks of FG itself. Deputy McLoughlin is indeed correct to want to ban fracking as basically all it does is pollutes the water table indefinitely over a huge area for paltry amounts of gas causing far more harm than good. read full story / add a comment

The regular news digest of the Peoples Movement, No. 147 is out now. It can be freely downloaded from the People's movement website and this issue has articles covering TTIP and a trade union view on Brexit. Recently Greenpeace published details of secret negotiations between the EU-US which were leaked and they indicated that EU officials had completely sold out to the US on all their corporate agenda demands. The TTIP agreement is by far and away the most undemocratic agreement ever devised and will shred protections of all kinds and oblierate the sovereignty every state that has this imposed on them. However the mainstream rightwing corporate media is not covering what is in TTIP and simply make false statements that it will bring jobs and growth, where the core issues are central to what it means to how society right across both the EU and US is run. Naturally our own mainstream political parties of FG and FF are completely for this corporate power grab of an agreement. read full story / add a comment
