The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program reached its 10th anniversary in June 2022. This article reviews the evidence on DACA’s impacts for Dreamers and the broader society, looks at the increased reliance on similar limited legal statuses to help segments of the unauthorized immigrant population, and examines the legal challenges the program has and is continuing to face.
A recent uptick in the number of unauthorized migrants attempting to reach the United States by sea has been largely overshadowed by tensions on the southwest border but serves as an echo of eras past. This article explains why migrant interdictions have risen to recent highs, especially among Cubans and Haitians.
In the years since its return to democracy, Chile has emerged as a major immigration destination within South America. Yet recent large-scale migrant arrivals from Haiti and Venezuela have shaken the country’s politics and at times overwhelmed a decades-old immigration framework that critics contended was woefully out of date. New reforms could tighten immigration, but many questions remain. This country profile analyzes migration to Chile particularly since 1990.
Over recent decades, France has sought to build a more selective immigration system that welcomes students and well-educated workers but enacts restrictions for asylum seekers. This country profile examines France's immigration policies and trends, including the rise of far-right political parties that have used immigration as a wedge to increase their base and their influence.
New Biden administration guidelines encourage immigration prosecutors to support dismissing many low-priority deportation cases and focus on criminals, threats to national security, and other priorities. This move could have a major impact on clearing backlogs in the overstretched U.S. immigration court system, resulting in quicker determinations in removal and asylum cases, where wait times can presently stretch for years.
Requirements that international travelers and migrants prove vaccination against certain diseases are about as old as vaccines themselves. In some cases, vaccine certificates predated the existence of government-issued passports. This article explores the history of these requirements, which began with smallpox and have since been applied for diseases including cholera, polio, yellow fever, and, recently, COVID-19.
The United States’ controversial Title 42 migrant expulsions policy will come to an end in May 2022, after more than 1.7 million expulsions over two years. The COVID-19-era public-health restriction ushered in an unprecedented period of mass expulsions, including of would-be asylum seekers, at the U.S.-Mexico border. Unwinding the policy will be complicated amid predictions of a significant increase in unauthorized migration.
Need information about U.S. immigration trends or the makeup of the country's immigrant population? This useful, stats-rich article answers the most common questions about the size, shape, and changing nature of the U.S. foreign-born population. It also offers data on immigration enforcement actions, backlogs, and other elements of the U.S. immigration system.
With nearly 18 million nationals abroad, India is the origin of more international migrants than any other country and claims the world's largest diaspora. Indian emigration can be traced back to the colonial era, with the British empire dispatching Indian workers across the globe, and has evolved for more than a century in response to global labor demands and geopolitical events. This article offers a comprehensive profile of migration from and to India.
President Joe Biden has made efforts to overhaul the U.S. immigration system, but could see his administration's agenda slowed by massive backlogs across the immigration system. Case application wait times and immigration court queues have swelled during the COVID-19 pandemic, slowing legal arrivals to the United States and undermining the entire immigration system.
Artificial intelligence systems that promise speedier travel and improved tools to halt smuggling and detect illegal entry have been embraced by border officials across the globe. But critics contend they also pose serious privacy concerns, which may become more pronounced as technologies evolve. This article examines the challenges and promises.
China has a long history of international migration. Movement was sharply interrupted following the 1949 revolution but has rebounded in recent decades. Since 1979, the country has developed from one of mostly limited migration into one that is in many ways defined through its global interactions, although it continues to treat migration warily, as this country profile explains.
While Donald Trump’s presidency is perceived as being the most active on immigration, touching nearly every aspect of the U.S. immigration system, President Joe Biden’s administration has far outpaced his predecessor in the number of executive actions taken during his first year in office—even as the pace of change has gone largely unnoticed, as this article explores.
As host to more immigrants than any other country, the United States has been shaped and reshaped by immigration over the centuries, with the issue at times becoming a flashpoint. This article covers the history of U.S. immigration and the major laws governing immigration, and provides a comprehensive overview of the present-day immigrant population.
The Biden administration's court-ordered restart of the controversial Migrant Protection Protocols, known informally as the Remain in Mexico policy, puts it in the awkward position of reviving a program it is simultaneously still trying to end. The Trump-era program forced tens of thousands of migrants to wait out the duration of their U.S. immigration court hearings in Mexico and was only questionably successful at deterring unauthorized arrivals.
South Africa hosts the most immigrants of any African country. Yet it faces conflicting pressures, including the legacy of apartheid, a steady outflow of well-educated South Africans, and the need to juggle bilateral labor mobility schemes at a time of economic insecurity and high unemployment. This article traces these pressures and how they have developed over time.
Tens of thousands of Nicaraguans have fled their country since 2018, amid repression and a renewed government crackdown. In neighboring Costa Rica, many migrants have encountered a robust system for protection and integration, yet they still face stigma and discrimination in their daily lives. This article explores this dynamic along one of Central America's most important migratory routes.
Vietnamese immigrants are among the largest foreign-born groups from Asia in the United States. The first significant arrivals came at the end of the Vietnam War; more recent immigrants from Vietnam have been more likely to come through family sponsorship programs. This article examines different dimensions of this immigrant population.
The chaotic arrival of thousands of Haitians at the U.S.-Mexico border in September 2021 was the culmination of a journey through the Americas that began for many a decade ago. This article examines how Brazil became a refuge for many after Haiti’s devastating 2010 earthquake, and how Haitians then moved on to Chile and other countries as conditions changed, and then onward again further north.
After the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 the U.S. immigration system was retooled to have a strong national security focus. This restructuring had dramatic effects on government operations and resource allocations, not to mention on the lives of immigrants and the U.S. born alike. Twenty years on from 9/11, this article examines the changes put in place or accelerated as a result of the attacks.

Former West Ham United defender Scott Minto has claimed that Real Madrid have begun speaking to the family of young midfielder Declan Rice, ahead of a potential summer bid.
The 20-year-old has established himself as one of Europe's most exciting defensive midfielders and, after recently making his England debut, has found himself linked with a blockbuster move away from the London Stadium.
Declan Rice's game by numbers vs. Man Utd:— Squawka Football (@Squawka) April 13, 2019
87% pass accuracy
0 fouls conceded
Another class display against a big team. ⚒ pic.twitter.com/0QpQYMmEMS
He said: "I'm hearing that even Real Madrid is knocking on the door and speaking to [Rice's] family. That's what I'm hearing from a reliable source.
Minto is said to have connections in Spanish football stemming from his major role in Sky Sports' La Liga coverage in recent seasons.
United have been heavily linked with a move for Rice, which could cost upwards of £60m, but Real's interest may spark a bidding war between the two clubs for one of the Premier League's brightest prospects.
He already has 67 West Ham appearances to his name after breaking through to the first team in 2017. His impressive form saw Rice switch national allegiances from the Republic of Ireland to England, and the 20-year-old made his debut for the Three Lions soon after, in March's 5-0 win over the Czech Republic.
He signed a new contract at the London Stadium in December, committing himself to the club until 2024, but a sizeable offer from the likes of Real or United could tempt them to part ways with the youngster.

The directive was issued during a high-level meeting held on Sunday to review the law and order situation and the progress of various development works being carried out by the state government.
"People are still made to run from here and there for their petty works. Their problems are not solved as per the government directives issued earlier. This is not acceptable. Those showing laxity in solving the people's problems will be punished severely," she said.
The chief minister said she will pay surprise visits to the spots were the works are being carried out and if she will find any laxity then the concerned officers would be punished.
She also directed the officials to submit monthly reports on the action taken on the complaints of the people.
"The report will be submitted by chief secretary, cabinet secretary, additional cabinet secretary, director general of police and principal secretary home," she said.
Mayawati also directed her officers to ensure that the corruption rampant at the police stations is checked and if she receives any complaint, stern action would be taken against the guilty.
She also asked the chief secretary to call a meeting of all the district magistrates and senior police officers and apprise them of the directives.
The chief minister directed her principal secretaries to visit the divisions allotted to them from next month and review the progress of the Ambedkar Gram Sabha Yojna and the Kanshi Ram Urban Development Scheme.She asked the officers to visit at least one Dalit locality every month and check up to what extent they were getting the benefits of the schemes proposed for them.


MAPLE VALLEY, Wash. - Video from the King County Sheriff's Office Guardian One helicopter showed how deputies use teams on the ground and in the air to track down suspects.

Cinematographers obviously play a vital role in making a film, but what decisions do they make on a daily basis? The cinematographer’s primary goal is to capture the director’s vision. Using lighting, camera, and composition techniques, a DP translates that vision into images. This post goes over the common considerations with explanations from working professionals. Let’s jump in so we can answer that age-old question: what does a cinematographer do?

Cinematographer Job Description
The role of a cinematographer in movies
The titles DoP, DP or director of photography is used interchangeably with cinematographer. Cinematography is the art and craft of making motion pictures by capturing a story visually. A series of shots that form a cohesive narrative, all shot by the cinematographer.
Let’s get into the day-to-day tasks of a cinematographer.
What does a cinematographer do?
A cinematographer or director of photography (shortened to DP or DoP) presides over the camera and light crews on a film or video production. They usually get involved throughout the production lifecycle, from the storyboards and into Post-Production. And they liaise with the director to create the images you see on-screen.
CINEMATOGRAPHY ELEMENTS THEY CONSIDER:
- Camera placement
- Camera movement
- Lens choice
- Shot size and composition
- Aspect ratio
The best way to answer the question of "what does a cinematographer do" is to hear it straight from the horse's mouth. Below is a Hollywood Reporter roundtable with some of today's best working DPs.
What do cinematographers do? • Hollywood DP Roundtable
What do cinematographers do
When cinematographers are on set shooting, they work with the director to make the actual product, the movie. But how do they do that? Academy Award-winning cinematographer, Roger Deakins offers some priceless tips on his approach:
Learn techniques from iconic, Roger Deakins
We've heard from working cinematographers about how they work. Now, let’s briefly go over a cinematographer's key considerations.
Where a cinematographer places the camera matters. For example, it can reveal character behavior or their emotional state. The closeness between the subject and the camera can help engage or distance the audience.
Camera movement can heighten the emotion and suspense in a scene. And moving the camera with the characters can add a subjective perspective. Keeping a static camera, on the other hand, will create a more objective point of view.
Free masterclass on directing the camera
The rules of shot composition dictate the way elements of a scene are arranged in the frame to convey an intended message.
For example, one visual element that must be arranged is your actors. Watch our video below on blocking and staging, part of our Filmmaking Techniques masterclass series.
Being a cinematographer including blocking • Watch Entire Masterclass
How much of the scene is actually seen? Are we in a close-up watching a subject’s face? Should we focus the audience's attention with an extreme close-up on a subject’s attire? Shot size and camera framing are critical aspects of the cinematographer job description.
Shot Size — Essential Cinematographer Skills • Subscribe on YouTube
An extreme wide shot can place a subject in a vulnerable position. A medium shot can make the audience feel part of the conversation. Know what the best shot size is for that particular moment is an essential skill for any cinematographer. You can start with our Ultimate Guide to Camera Shots.
A cinematographer understands the concept of aspect ratio. That is, the width x height of the frame they’re shooting in. Wider frames are better for landscapes and action, while taller frames highlight performance. Certain frame dimensions combine both, like the 2:1 aspect ratio.
For a cinematographer, visuals become the language, and aspect ratio is a huge part of that.
What is a cinematographer responsible for? Understanding aspect ratio
Part of the cinematographer job description is to play with camera focus to emphasize different aspects of the story. An example of this might be a character POV shot going in and out of focus when they're drunk. It all comes down to using the camera to tell the story and these are just a few of the choices that can be made.
What do cinematographers do? Use the camera to tell the story
The various types of camera lenses can create drastically different images. Choosing the right lens for the right moment is a critical job of the directory of photography.

A cinematographer understands basic qualities of film lighting like a painter understands paint. They determine the type of light, the quantity, the color, the shape, etc. each shot demands before they shoot.
A cinematographer will most likely have a sun tracking app so they can figure out how the sun will affect their day. There are a ton of film lighting techniques to make your shots more cinematic and it takes a trained cinematographer to know how.
Here's Roger Deakins talking about where his love of film lighting began.

Now that we’ve answered what does a cinematographer do, what’s next? Well, as mentioned above, there is a lot to consider. But luckily, cinematographers don’t have to keep it all in their heads. So, how do they plan these decisions and execute on their vision?

THE DP TOOLBOX
Use shot lists and storyboards
One tool that’s helpful for DP’s (and directors) are shot lists and storyboards. Usually, the cinematographer and director work together to lay out their masterplan for the project.Whether you're a DP yourself or will be working with one, you need to know how to make storyboards. The Pre-Production process is all about preparation — like every member of the crew, the role of a cinematographer in movies is to have a game plan on Day 1.
Choose types of shots, write shot descriptions, and even select your desired aspect ratio. You can also view your frames in a shot list.
With software, it's easier to collaborate with department heads on all of these decisions. As long as they're invited to the project, you can leave comments in real time, and adjust shots accordingly.

I’ve always had an idea what cinematography was but, I had no idea how much work a cinematographer does. This article was extremely interesting. Thank you. Since I was a child I’ve always loved movies and TV. You can say I was basically raised by “the Tube”. As I matured I started noticing beautiful or neato shots i.e.a face shot through a moving car door mirror. I’ll be visiting this site again. Thanks again

The Norwegian Constitution has proved itself to be more durable than other constitutions drawn up at the same time in Europe. As Europe’s oldest and the world’s second oldest prevailing constitution, it is now a unifying symbol of freedom, independence and democracy.
The Bicentenary of the Norwegian Constitution in 2014 will raise awareness of what the Constitution means today and what role it will play in our future democracy.
The Constitution is vital and contemporary. It is also decisive for Norway’s identity and development as a liberal democracy. For the Constitution to continue to play this role, it must be conveyed afresh to each new generation. Those who grow up in Norway today must embrace it. They must be able to make sense of it on their own terms. As much as a celebration of the past, the Bicentenary should be an investment in the future.
Consequently, the Bicentenary of the Constitution has three overriding objectives:
- To enhance knowledge about the Constitution and its significance
- To stimulate increased participation and engagement in democratic processes
- To be a broad and inclusive nationwide celebration
In the objectives document, the Main Committee presents its vision, and the objectives and themes that should be emphasized during the Bicentenary.

A grand bargain, a compromise to avert the so-called fiscal cliff, could all come down to one word: revenue. It's now widely agreed that steering away from the cliff — the combination of spending cuts and tax increases set to hit at the start of the year — will require some combination of revenue increases and spending cuts. The central sticking point could well be whether President Obama and Congress can agree on the definition of revenue.
At the moment, the casual observer could easily get the sense that the president and Republicans in Congress are talking past each other.

Most people try to avoid ticks. But not Tom Mather.
The University of Rhode Island researcher goes out of his way to find them.

On Oct. 9, in Mingora, Pakistan, in the country's picturesque Swat Valley, Kainat Riaz left her high school and climbed into the back of a small van. The bright-eyed 16-year-old sat near another schoolgirl, Malala Yousafzai.
At just 15, Malala, an outspoken critic of the Taliban, had already earned a name in her country — and internationally — for her courage. Kainat says there was a lot of chatter in the six-seat van as it shuttled the girls home.
Then, in the middle of a busy road, the van suddenly stopped, and a masked gunman got into the vehicle.
For holiday shoppers, retailers' approach to fees, returns and other practices can bring praise or anger. And when customers rant or rave, Consumer Reports takes note — and compiles them into its annual "Naughty and Nice" list of companies.

No matter what kind of dogs are brought in the shelter, one wouldn’t find a shred of neglect among the staffs of High Plains Humane Society (HPHS) located in New Mexico. When it comes to taking care of rescued creatures, they complete the job with utmost love and care. When some of the dogs are abandoned in the shelter, they even go as far as to share their pictures on social media, hoping some pet-lover will pick them up.
So when they came across a miserable puppy during their trip to an associate shelter, they couldn’t resist taking her picture. In it, she is inside a cage with tears in her eyes. It’s so obvious that all she needs is a home where she would truly belong.
Unsurprisingly, this video got a ton of responses from pet-lovers all over the world. HPHS perfectly captured the grief and sadness in the puppy’s eyes. No wonder people everywhere are trying to give this lovely creature a place to call her own.
As applications came pouring in, many candidates were thoroughly examined before a woman was declared to be the chosen one. After she was adopted, the puppy quickly turned into the loving, loyal and happy creature he was meant to be. Our best wishes are with the two newly made companions, and we couldn’t be happier for them! Hopefully, they will be with each other for a long, long time!
SHARE so you could aware more people about the lovely, abandoned animal companions that live a harrowing life in these shelters.

Washington (CNN) – The Republican National Committee has narrowed the list of cities it is considering to host the 2016 GOP convention to six, and announced Wednesday it is no longer considering Phoenix and Columbus, Ohio.
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Kansas City and Las Vegas are still in contention to host the convention where Republicans will officially choose their presidential nominee.
“In any other year, Columbus and Phoenix could have topped the list, but with so many strong cities competing, the committee had to make the difficult decision to narrow the field,” Enid Mickelsen, chair of the RNC’s Site Selection Committee said in a statement. “Phoenix and Columbus are great American cities, and I hope they’ll pursue a future bid for an RNC convention.”
[twitter-follow screen_name='PrestonCNN'] [twitter-follow screen_name='psteinhausercnn']
Representatives from each of the cities have been courting the RNC’s Site Selection Committee for the past few months, and made their formal pitches in March. RNC staff will visit each of the cities in the coming months, and members of the Site Selection Committee are expected to choose the host city by late summer or early fall.
Cities formally begin vying for '16 GOP convention
For a city, a convention is a costly affair as the host is expected to raise upwards of $60 million to help pay for it. But if managed correctly, a convention pays off as the surrounding communities are flooded with as many as 50,000 new visitors and the area is showcased on an international stage for weeks leading up to the event.
Demographics loom large for cities vying for Republican 2016 convention
The Site Selection Committee will consider a number of factors as it determines what city it will choose to hold the 2016 RNC Convention, including the ability to raise money, adequate infrastructure, ease of transporting delegates and visitors to and from the convention hall, public perception and potential electoral benefits.
The Democratic Party goes through a similar process when choosing its convention site.
Tony D – Your post has been fact checked and it is not true. The savings were to be applied to health care, the savings. Ryan and Mittens were given a mostly false for saying this in their campaign.
Please, oh please, do NOT let this take place in Cincinnati.
Just go to Vegas like all the other
70 year old men
How about Washington DC at the Watergate complex, they can praise Nixon and his trickle down economics.
No one should host the destroyers of America.
They will not pick a place that doesn't have a lot of strip clubs. Then they can go back to the hotel and take their Viagra that their insurance paid for. You do know these people are conservatives.
Great responses! LOL! But seriously folks, if the republicans don't make some substantial changes soon, it may be a LOOOOONG time before they ever again see the inside of the White House.
GOP – choose Denver – If you smoke it , they will come. They might even vote for you....nahhhhhhh
Do they even have anyone to nominate?
Misleading headline. Real shocker there, CNN. From the CNN frontpage, it looks as if the cities themselves have turned the GOP down. Turns out, the GOP elimiated them from the list.
Amazing that a right winger like yourself would complain about the other side lying. You have a whole industry funded by the Kochs and broadcast by FAUX News dedicated to disinformation.
It will be Cincinnati. The RNC needs Ohio in 2016.
Keep The GOP Trash Out Of Portland Oregon
Sizzle, you may be correct. The last city to host the DNC the mayor got a new job in Washington and his replacement got arrested. What everyone keeps asking is how did a city counsel member have so much "pull" and the Mayor end up in Washington????
Really Tony D – Those Medicare cuts you talk about was NOT cuts for the Medicare patients. It was cuts to the already OVERPRICED Medicare payments to the medical cartels. Talk about Lies!!!
Wow... 'overpriced Medicare payments"??? So now doctors and hospitals are getting rich on Medicare patients??? If this is the case then why do the Democrats keep passing the "Doc Fix"? Cuts to Medicare payments to doctors that was passed many years ago, but keeps getting delayed for fear of many doctors dropping out of taking Medicare patients. If they are getting rich on them, would they drop out of the program? Medicare costs are not making anybody rich. You make zero sense, as can be said for most lefties.
Please don't come to Kansas City.
@KellyinBoston: "Uhh, "Just asking"–You do realize that people PAY for insurance under the ACA, right? Its not free."
Except for all the people getting subsidies, paid for by taxpayers. Except for a large percentage of the sign-ups who are signing up to be absolute burdens on society by going under Medicaid. The whole point of Obamacare is to rip off some in order to give freebies to others.
And Keep The Dems Out Of The People's Republic Portland OregonToo
@Tone, Tampa Tim, and Sniffit-It`s a fact alot people lost their insurance due to the ACA. We don`t have the number as of now, just like we don`t have alot numbers related to the ACA.
First it was 6 million, now it's "a lot." People get to keep their junk policies for another year, many others chose a better plan that conformed to the new law, that is not cancelled Be patient, the numbers will continue to come in from the states, and it will be good news.
If they allow wide standing in the restrooms, the old republican men will be happy.
2016 will be the year that the Republicans will destroy the cult that is the Democratic Party. Vote for the Educated Party the Republicans not the Uneducated Party the party for dummies, the Democrats.
And after taking into account the financial losses suffered by the city of Tampa during the 2012 convention, Columbus & Phoenix officials are both breathing a sigh of relief right now.
Come to San Francisco, City by the Bay. The GOP delegates, 99% who are white, will see a racially and culturally diverse city, a glimpse into America's future.
I'd rather have vermin in the streets than in my convention center, yes I'm sorry I consider Republicans as vermin as I do anyone or anything which works against my nation!!! They're obstruction has been extremely detrimental in more ways then we can imagine!!!

As a dog advances in age, his resistance to illnesses drops, so they get parasites, fungal infections and viruses with ease. Another major cause for a dog 's vulnerability to diseases can be cancer, accidental poisoning, medications and toxic reactions. An autoimmune disorder will also cause some diseases, and kidney disease can be one of them. In some cases, the parents can be the source of a predisposition for this disease.
Next, I will proceed with the common hygiene and health problems that are faced by those puppies. According to the article published in Animals in 2000, puppies suffer from open sores and skin infections due to being fed with cheap or maggot-infested food, assuming meal time are not missed. Most often, the supply of water being provided to the dogs is unhygienic and can be breeding ground for mosquitoes and algae. In the worst condition, some of the dogs are not even given water supply regularly and are left in extremely high temperatures causing them to become dehydrated. This is one of the reasons the puppies and their mothers die very frequently in the mills.
Depending on your pet, cooperation may be an issue and a major obstacle. Remember not to get frustrated, maintain eye contact and offer reassurance as you groom.

A puppy´s teeth can become sharp enough to add considerable discomfort in the mother, as well as pain. Puppies, without meaning to, tend to bite down on the teats while invigoratingly trying to nurse. This is commonly referred to as “milk teeth”. In this weaning phase, breeders and dog owners can slowly start introducing mashed foods to the puppies so that they can start alternatively seeking other meal replacements.
Orange Dog poop: This could indicate a liver problem or biliary disease, or it could simply imply that your dog 's food is moving too fast through the GI tract to pick up the bile.

Prednisolone 5 mg dose pack
One other important result was that patients treated with a single dose of prednisolone were statistically more likely to receive additional doses of the steroid compared to patients treated with 0.09 mg for 3 weeks or higher. The increased number of dosages was primarily accounted for by the patients being treated with prednisolone for ≥2 weeks and those receiving the prednisolone for less than a year. In contrast, patients treated with 0, prednisolone dose pack mg 5.09 mg for 3 weeks were significantly more likely to be treated with additional doses of 0, prednisolone dose pack mg 5.09 mg (P = 0, prednisolone dose pack mg 5.003), 0, prednisolone dose pack mg 5.1 mg (P = 0, prednisolone dose pack mg 5.002), or 0, prednisolone dose pack mg 5.05 mg (P = 0, prednisolone dose pack mg 5.007), prednisolone dose pack mg 5. The effect of long-cycle prednisolone on the incidence and severity of adverse outcomes for patients receiving long-cycle steroids was similar to that of individual steroid doses for single doses of prednisolone, https://abmechanism.humanicsgroup.org/forum/profile/gana48194029/. The most common adverse events were drowsiness (27 patients, 25%), hypothermia (27 patients, 25%) and headache (18 patients, 15%), prednisolone 5 mg pour chat.
Conclusions and Relevance For long-term steroid users, prednisolone was no more efficacious at relieving cold symptoms in comparison to placebo. In addition, the increased frequency of adverse events observed among patients treated with long-cycle prednisolone may have contributed to the lower efficacy. The authors conclude that the increased frequency of adverse events observed in patients treated with long-cycle steroids is likely due to a combination of prednisolone induced effects and individual steroid effects on the immune system, prednisolone 5 mg dose pack. They recommend that prednisolone therapy do not be started or continued for more than 2 months, prednisolone 5 mg leaflet. This was the conclusion of another study.10

4) Because of the natural differences in the production of androgens, a higher dose of testosterone is often better for treating high T levels, while anabolic steroids will tend to lower or eliminate the symptoms.

Tyra Banks: Pressure on models is unfair
Tyra Banks can't believe the pressure models face today.
The American beauty was scouted as a teenager, and over the last 25 years has become one of the biggest names in the industry - dominating the runway and helming hit show America's Next Top Model.
Despite her high profile career, Tyra can't believe how much modelling has changed over the years.
"Models have so much pressure today. They have to look good on AND off the set. They have to arrive backstage at fashion shows looking and dressed as if they are already ON a runway. They have to be slimmer than slim. Skinnier than skinny. They have to compete with actresses, recording artists and reality stars for magazine covers and ad campaigns," she fumed on her Instagram account.
"They have to have tons of followers on social media to book top notch jobs. And they have to do selfies that make them look relatable, but not TOO relatable, because then people may comment that they don't understand, "Why the heck is THAT girl a friggin' model??!!!!" (sic)."
Next to the lengthy post Tyra uploaded a photo of herself at one of her early shows for Yves Saint Laurent.
Wearing a relaxed outfit of sneakers, a plaid flannel shirt and "bad jeans", Tyra recalls how she had to think about her weight, but not in the same way as girls do today.
"I think I was size 6, not a size 0.
"Mr. Yves Saint Laurent could care how I looked when I arrived to his show. But when I hit his stage, he expected excellence. And I made sure I delivered that every time I was chosen to walk his amazing runway.
"I'm sending love and hugs to all working, aspiring and super models worldwide. You all have lots to live up to. And I'm here cheering for you every single day. Stay strong girls (sic)," she signed off.

Changemaker: Reducing Emissions, Fighting Climate Change
“Our mission is to drive massive action across whole portfolios of buildings all over the world.”
It’s not uncommon to see an office building’s lights still on at night, long past when the last worker has left. In these same, sometimes empty buildings, heating or cooling systems are often running as well, making the temperature more comfortable… for no one at all. These “always-on” practices contribute to the roughly 40% of emissions Produced by commercial and industrial buildings.
In this ongoing video series, we showcase Stanford GSB alumni who are striving to change lives, organizations, and the world.
“The less energy a building uses, the less power plants operate. Pretty simple” says Brenden Millstein, MBA ’10, who started Carbon Lighthouse with his best friend since kindergarten, Rafael Rosa. The duo studied physics, and were lab partners, at Harvard. They knew they wanted to one day launch a venture that would reduce the effects of climate change. The science-side of the venture didn’t propose too much of a challenge, it was the business side they were concerned with. “We figured, ‘OK, we can figure out the technical stuff. We better start with sales to make sure that part works,’” Millstein says.
Carbon Lighthouse provides software that makes decarbonizing buildings profitable for commercial real estate investors. In the 10 years since its inception, the venture has worked in nearly 1,400 buildings and with clients such as Goldman Sachs, Ohana, and The Carlyle Group.
“You don’t need construction, just sensors and controls to make sure things are off when they should be off,” Millstein says. “Our mission is to stop climate change. It is to drive massive, massive, massive action across whole portfolios of buildings all over the world.”
The company has also eliminated the emissions of 34 power plants. “I am very pleased with the path I have chosen, despite the fact that it has been ridiculously hard. There’s not a night I go to sleep and I wonder if I’m doing the right thing with my life.”
Brenden Millstein: If we achieve our corporate mission, we will be a multi-billion dollar entity that is responsible for less death and destruction from wildfires and hurricanes and floods. Tropical diseases are actually quite related to climate change. So I see Carbon Lighthouse as very in line with the change lives part of the GSB mission of change lives, change organizations, and change the world. That is all exactly what we are trying to do. Our customers control one and a quarter trillion dollars worth of commercial real estate.
These are smart people. They wanna leave a world that’s habitable for their children and grandchildren. They’re out to try and do the right thing, uh, but they’re also in a bind, which is they are legally beholden to try and increase returns for shareholders. And what Carbon Lighthouse is able to do is both reduce emissions, but also show that this is not just possible but profitable. And that’s new. That’s not a paradigm that the investment world is used to. And so to show that it’s actually very profitable to do something good for the environment creates a paradigm shift.
Globally, 40% or so of emissions are from commercial and industrial buildings. 70% of buildings are investor owned buildings. So these are buildings that have a landlord and they lease out space to tenants. So the low-hanging fruit is typically your lighting retrofits. So this is, you walk into a building, you look up, you see if it’s LED lighting. If it’s not, you replace it with LEDs. A commercial office building that might cost 300,000 bucks and save a hundred thousand a year. So 33% return, you know, three, four times better than the stock market. HVAC optimization is the art, or in our case, automated science of slightly turning fans up and down and boilers up and down to reduce energy use across the system as a whole. So you don’t have to replace any major equipment. You don’t need a crane, you don’t need a permit, you don’t need construction, just sensors and controls to make sure things are off when they should be off. And, uh, tune and optimize the system as a whole. Our mission is to stop climate change. It is to drive massive, massive, massive action across whole portfolios of buildings all over the world.
GSB and actually Stanford as the broader university as well were hugely helpful in this pursuit. For a lot of different reasons, venture capitalists love high risk, high reward opportunities. That’s what they exist for. And GSB connected us to a ton of investors who have supported the company. My colleagues and friends from GSB have given us intros to customers. So the whole university and GSB machine really kicked into gear to support the growth of the company over the years.
At the risk of being preachy, I do have a piece of guidance for current GSBers, which is: make your life matter. At the point you have gotten into and are attending GSB, you are now one of the most well-resourced people in the world. Go out on a limb and do something that is not the standard. Go save the world. I am very pleased with the path I have chosen, despite the fact that it has been ridiculously hard. But there’s not a night I go to sleep and I wonder if I’m doing the right thing with my life. My name is Brenden Millstein. I am co-founder and president of Carbon Lighthouse.

You really have no idea how bullets work, do you? The metal casings are for the bullets, not the guns. If you attempt to make a bullet with a plastic casing (you can't buy them), it will fail on the first shot. Not the second shot, not the third, the first. If you use plastic casings on a bullet, it will explode and you will fail. No debate.
Caseless ammunition already exists.

The mesomorphic properties of 4,4′-diisocyanatoazobenzene were investigated by polarizing microscopy and DSC. It shows a nematic phase when thoroughly purified by distillation. The nematic range, however, is smaller than that of other liquid crystalline diisocyanates like 4,4′diisocyanatophenyl benzoate. A number of binary hard segment type polyurethanes was made with several diols as chain extenders and in addition ternary copolyruethanes containing two different mesogenic diisocyanates. They are crystalline materials with poor solubility. The melt temperatures of these polyurethanes are higher than those of the corresponding polymers with 4,4′-diisocyanatophenyl benzoate. Liquid crystalline behaviour could not be observed in any of the polymers probably because of the high melting transitions and relatively lower izotropization temperatures which result from the higher rigidity and symmetry of the azobenzene structure.

A former JPMorgan currency salesman, fighting the bank for a second time over what he claims was his unfair dismissal, said he lost about $2.8m in compensation after he was let go for a practice that was previously commonplace at the bank.
Bloomberg News reports that Patrice Ktorza, a former executive director at the U.S. bank, told the London tribunal in his court papers that he unfairly lost the money from bonuses and unvested stock awards after he was suspended in November 2014, despite not being officially dismissed for seven months. The bank successfully appealed the Frenchman’s case last year.
Breaking down in tears under cross-examination, Ktorza, 45, described how he’d chased the bank for a resolution. The delay precluded him from finding another job and he lost eight kilograms (18 pounds), according to the document.

Route 403, also known as the Quonset Freeway, was originally a two-lane road that cutting through Washington and Kent counties in Rhode Island.
In 2006, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) proposed relocating Route 403 and building a new four-lane highway in order to alleviate the severe congestion plaguing the largely residential area of North Kingstown.
Local residents raised concerns. “We didn’t see why we had to go to a whole new highway,” said Sierra Club activist Barry Schiller, representing the interests of environmental organizations.
To a certain extent, RIDOT agreed. “There is a big benefit if you don’t build a new road,” Healey said, “Building is not always the best choice, but the end result was the need for a freeway connection,” said Peter Healey, Principal Civil Engineer for RIDOT.
Thanks to the National Environmental Policy Act’s (NEPA) mandated public comment periods, however, residents of North Kingstown and other local communities were able to voice their concerns.
Passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in Congress and enacted into law in 1970, simply put, NEPA requires government agencies to engage in a review process intended to discover any significant environmental and public health impacts before a decision is made and construction begins. By mandating public input on the impacts of major federal projects like roads, power plants, and pipelines, NEPA provides a forum for communities to make their voices heard in important decisions that affect their health, homes and environment.
We teach our children to “look before you leap.” NEPA simply and sensible requires our government to do the same.
Over the course of many months, RIDOT and other government officials met with local representatives and held several briefings for North Kingston’s town council to hear their concerns. In one of the town council meetings, the suggestion was brought up to include a culvert for small-animal crossings. “I probably wouldn’t have thought of that on my own,” Healey said.
“NEPA played a vital role in balancing these views. It allows you to seek impact and balance a project…You can’t make all parties happy, but you can certainly balance their interests,” said Healey. “The people that live [in the affected area] know more than I do.”
Healey added that he and his team made extensive efforts to involve the public early in the design process. “We did look at widening the existing road in identifying alternatives…as well as [about] eight different alternatives for the location of the new route,” Healey said, explaining how NEPA was used.
The NEPA process resulted in modifications to the original plan suggested by local citizens that the RIDOT would not have otherwise thought of, including a reduction in acreage that significantly lessened damage to wetlands.
Although some local environmental groups were not completely satisfied with the overall outcome, local Sierra Club President Schiller agreed that NEPA was an essential element in making some of the positive changes in the project. “It clearly minimized the impacts.”
According to his records, the EIS indicated a loss of 50 acres of open space including five acres of wetlands. The final design reduced the impact to 2.42 acres of wetland loss. “NEPA has worked in Rhode Island to improve designs of highways,” he added.
Major construction on the freeway was completed in December 2008, one year ahead of schedule. Minor projects continued on the relocated route until early 2009.

The Brits have one more day to consider who they’re going to vote for in tomorrow’s elections, and Prime Minster Gordon Brown, who called for elections early, is making his last ditch appeals to undecided voters. Including the gay ones!
Brown wants UK gays to remember it was his Labour Party that secured civil unions and gay adoption for you ‘mos. (Not helping counter Brown’s argument is the Conservative Party’s almost comical line-up of bigots.) Moreover, says Brown, gays should “fear” Tory leaders like David Cameron taking over. “I think Labour have both a record and future offer that we can be proud of, and the one thing we should all fear is a return to the Tory days. And the reality is, a vote for the Liberal Democrats just makes a Tory government more likely.”

It is no secret that substance abuse ravages communities and destroys people’s lives and their families. Perhaps lesser known is that recovery services can help individuals and families deal with the aftermath of drug use.
Reports state that around 19 percent of people have used illicit drugs.
Recovery services for substance use come in many different forms, but all have the same goal – to help people reclaim their lives from addiction. Here are four ways recovery services can help those affected by drug use.
One of the most critical ways that recovery services help is by providing support groups. Support groups offer a safe and supportive environment for people to share their experiences and connect with others who understand what they are going through.
Support groups are an essential part of recovery because they:
- Help people feel less alone
- Provide a space to talk about difficult experiences
- Offer opportunities to learn from others
- Allow people to share their successes and challenges
If you are struggling with drug addiction, recovery services can help you find a support group in your area.
Individual counseling is another way recovery services can help people struggling with drug addiction. In individual counseling, people meet one-on-one with a counselor to discuss their unique situation and develop coping mechanisms and strategies for dealing with drug addiction.
Individual counseling can be an incredibly effective way to deal with addiction, as it allows people to explore their relationship with drugs in a safe and supportive environment. Counselors can also provide much-needed support and guidance as people navigate the difficult road to recovery.
Here are a few things you can expect during counseling:
- You will be listened to without judgment
- Your counselor will help you understand your unique situation
- You will develop strategies for dealing with your addiction
- You will learn about the resources available to you
Recovery services for substance use offer group therapy for people struggling with drug addiction. It can provide support and motivation to stay sober and help people learn new coping skills. In group therapy, people meet with a therapist and other people struggling with similar issues.
Group therapy can be a helpful way to deal with addiction recovery, providing support and motivation from others who are going through the same thing. If you’re interested in finding a group therapy program, ask your doctor or mental health provider for a referral, or look for programs online or in your community.
- Support and motivation from others who understand what you’re going through
- A safe place to share your thoughts and feelings
- An opportunity to learn new coping skills
A companion can help provide support and motivation throughout the recovery process. They can also help keep you accountable and on track with your goals. Having somebody there to offer support and understanding can be invaluable during challenging times in recovery. If you’re feeling isolated or struggling to stay motivated, consider reaching out to a professional companion service.
A companion can:
- Help you stick to your treatment plan
- Offer support and understanding
- Be a sounding board for your thoughts and feelings
- Help you stay motivated
If you are considering professional companionship, be sure to do your research. Look for a service that offers qualified, experienced companions who are a good fit for you. Basic qualifications include:
- A degree in psychology, social work, or a related field
- Certification in companion training
- Several years of experience working with clients in recovery
- A clean background check
Recovering from substance use is hard, but it is not impossible. With the help of a professional recovery service, you can get your life back on track.

Editor’s update: Malpaca was purchased by MidWest Nonwovens LLC from the original founder in 2019, after we did this interview. They have updated their manufacturing process – all pillows are “handcrafted” at their US manufacturing facility, but potentially use foreign raw materials.
We first got introduced to Malpaca when we were searching for pillows made in the USA. They really stood out because of the unique filler they use for their pillows: alpaca wool. We had to know more, so we tested out their pillows and were blown away by their comfort and natural, non-toxic materials. So, we reached out to Mary Anderle, their founder and only full-time employee, to learn more about how she got into this industry and all about her production process. Below is our conversation with Mary about the story of Malpaca and how they came to be. Our questions are marked with “AAO” in front of them and Mary’s responses are marked as “MA”. We really enjoyed getting to know Malpaca and hope you do too.
History of Malpaca
Mary’s story about how she started Malpaca and grew it into the business it is today is amazing. As she describes a little later, Mary fell in love with the alpaca culture and used her design skills to make eco-friendly, locally produced pillows and other products starting in 2009. Malpaca has a great high touch manufacturing process, putting care into every single element of their products. Check out the story of Malpaca in Mary’s own words below.
AAO: Give us a insider look at the history of Malpaca in your own words. How did you grow into the company you are today? What made you want to get started?
MA: For ten years I, Mary Anderle, was employed by a commercial interior design firm as a degreed licensed Interior Designer. In 1995, Mary Anderle Design was developed, and a successful sole proprietor Interior Design firm was formed, focusing on space planning layout of commercial buildings, and color and material specifications. Ten years later in 2005 the name was changed to MAReDESIGN, Inc. (incorporated now), Mary Anderle became President, and worked in both commercial and residential design. I had grown to a point of needing to obtain two hired employees, and had at least one Interior Design student at a time, training with me for several years. I was awarded for Wisconsin’s best commercially designed building of the year in 1993, featured in House To Home, Flathead Living in Montana, and many Parade of Homes for residential projects.
When the building industry slowed considerably in fall of 2008, I began organizing and hosting “green building” seminars monthly, to help educate all of us in the movement towards eco-friendly building/design. While I loved interior design, after attending one of my green building seminars in May 2009 and hearing information that I could not walk away from, research began with my new product line, beginning with a sleeping pillow. After months of planning and trying of various products/materials, the name Malpaca was chosen for the first designed product, a sleeping pillow.
I joined alpaca organizations, went from heels to boots, and worked alpaca ranches for months, to learn about a culture I was honestly unfamiliar with, but eager to learn about. I loved it, and preferred boots any day to heels. I became passionate about alpacas, and everything they represented. Their fleece is usually used for yarn, or felted for clothing or accessories, and the labor is intensive and barely rewarded monetarily. The pillow is a way to make use of their luxurious fleece, supporting the alpaca farmers and ranchers, and utilizing fleece they had sitting in their barns.
In September, 2010, Malpaca® was trademarked and launched via an e-commerce website, operated by Mary Anderle. The company was moved to the Denver, Colorado area in fall of 2010 because it’s a highly concentrated area of alpaca, and the acceptance of natural products (okay, and my grandchildren lived there!). A U.S. processing mill is contracted by Malpaca to collect and process all alpaca needed for orders. The processor then delivers the baled & bagged alpaca fiber to the local contracted sewing and manufacturing location, where the products are manufactured, and packaged ready for shipment. All of this manufacturing takes place within the USA from start to finish, and we are able to process and provide anywhere from one unit to thousands.
In 2014, Malpaca® designed a patented alpaca pad. Malpaca® has set the stage for a patented alpaca filled and fabric covered products, all being manufactured right here in the USA, with a growing and great future.
AAO: How many U.S. based employees do you have and in what locations?
MA: I am the only employee. I do have two manufacturing plants, one in Minnesota for my pillows, and one in Illinois for my pad, that I independent contract out.
Featured Malpaca Pillows
It’s pretty clear that Malpaca puts a ton of care into each one of their products. Here are a couple of their more popular ones – The Malpaca Pillow and The Alpaca Pad.
The Malpaca® Pillow
These alpaca filled pillows are naturally hypoallergenic, non-toxic, fire resistant, and mold resistant. And did we mention they are super comfortable? You really can’t go wrong with these, no matter what size you get. They are one of our top picks for the best pillows made in the USA.
The Alpaca Pad
Malpaca also has an alpaca pad that can be 100% alpaca, or many other natural or synthetic fibers added for blended pads. It’s typically used as a protective layer inside mattresses, which is great because it’s fire resistant and non-toxic.
All Natural and Great for Local Farmers
AAO: What do your customers love most about you and your products?
MA: I believe it is because alpaca is used as an all natural product using no chemicals, not harmful to animals (alpacas), made in the USA, biodegradable and not harmful to the earth or us, supports the farmers/ranchers, and mostly it is hypo-allergenic.
AAO: What makes your products unique vs. the competition?
MA: This fiber was chosen for this product because it is the only natural fiber, that in nature, has all of the qualities listed below. The alpaca is unharmed, bred solely for its fleece, and is shaved yearly similar to a sheep. Until now, it has mainly been used for yarn to knit clothing, blankets, etc. Much went to waste that did not have the quality higher grade needed to make the yarn. Malpaca® uses these unspoiled and exquisite “tangled” grades and uneven lengths of fiber! Now our U.S. farmers and ranchers can profit from selling all of their fiber, and no more has to be “thrown” away.
- Fiber has medullated core- therefore dustmites don’t like to live in it, making it hypoallergenic & great for any severe allergies
- Does not contain lanolin like wool
- Fiber shaft has rounded barbs – unlike sheep whose fiber has pointed barbs & feels picky
- Anti-bacterial and mildew resistant
- Moisture wicking and water resistant
- Porous fiber creates insulation & constant even balance of body temp
- Fire resistant
- 100% biodegradable and will naturally decompose
- Cleaned/deodorized in sunlight – no chemicals needed
- No chemicals needed during manufacturing to clean and process into fiber fill
AAO: What gets you excited about the future of Malpaca? Where are you headed?
MA: The future wants natural and non-toxic, green bio-degradable friendly, animal harm-free, made in the USA products. My alpaca pad has got me the most excited, as it has the possibility to replace that toxic fire protective layer that is required by law in mattresses, etc. My pad rates Class A in fire testing, and is all natural, with no chemicals added. It can not only be used as a layer in mattresses, but other bedding, furniture, etc.
We really enjoyed our conversation with Mary and wish her and Malpaca all the luck in the future! They have some amazing products are are being incredibly thoughtful about their production process and their customers. Malpaca really is a great American brand.

Ok i finally got another o2 sensor. This new sensor has a purple, white, grey, and black wire. The original sensor has 2 black wires, 1 blue and 1 white. What wire goes where? it did not come with instructions.
Also i scanned the dtcs before i did anything and catalyst effeciecy bank 1 was found, i believe the code was p0420. What does this mean? The threads on the bank 1 downstream sensor i'm changing got messed up when i was pulling it out. I was able to file down some of the threads and put it back in tight but after a few miles of driving my CEL came on. I'm just curious because my Gas mileage has dropped a little.

Thats going to hard if not impossible to do without more info. What other O2 did you get? Any paper work with it to let you know what wire is what? Why didnt you get a stock O2 for the ram so you could just plug it in?
I know all mine have 4 wires, 2 of them are to heat the 02 sensor, so the truck gets an accurate reading as soon as its started. I don't know if that will work. I guess you could just connect the two the work the actual sensor, and leave the other two out. Not quite sure.

It is a Delphi sensor from ebay. I checked everywhere for a plug in kind but all they had was universal types and nothing under 49 bucks. I found out what the new sensor wires mean. Thanks joe for the diagram. exactly what i was looking for. I got a question though the diagram for the delphi sensor shows 2 heater wires. I hooked one to the heater control then one to the return. I put it in and it throws a code for 1/2 heater circuit high

By using joehemi's o2 sensor plug diagram what wire hooks to wire 1 and 3? The new sensor says it has 2 heater wires. Does it matter what heater wire goes to the factory plug? I know one at least goes to the heater control but what does the o2 return (down) mean? if i had known this was going to be a headache then i would have just found a factory sensor with the plug already on it.


An Indian Navy amphibious warship was grounded on the eastern shore of the country last week adding another entry to a long line of mishaps for the service in the last several months.
An unidentified Magar-class Landing Ship Tanker (LST) — one of five similar ships in service with the Indian Navy — ran aground near the city of Vishakhapatnam on India’s eastern coast, according to the Press Trust of India that cites unnamed sources in a Sunday report.
The grounding of the ship has prompted an inquiry inside the Indian Navy, according to sources.

The extent of the damage is unknown.
The first two ships in the class are based on the U.K.’s 1960s era Sir Lancelot-class (also called Round Table) and are designed to land up to 10 tanks and 11 armored personnel carriers (APC) on shore. The Indians restarted the line — called the Shardul-class — in 2004 and commissioned three more ships of the 5,655 ton ships with similar characteristics.
Both types of ships have a door in the bow and can beach themselves to allow the transfer of troops and material onshore.
INS Gharial (L 23) ran aground in 1999 resulting in minor damage to the ship, according to the entry in the Naval Institute’s Guide to Combat Fleets of the World.
News of the grounding comes at a bad time for the Indian Navy.
In August a fire aboard the submarine INS Sindhurakshak during a maintenance period killed 18 sailors and resulted in the loss of the ship. Mine sweeper INS Konkan also caught fire in December while in port. Frigate INS Betwa also recently suffered damage on an operational deployment requiring it to enter drydock.
