United States of America
BEFORE THE FEDERAL SERVICE IMPASSES PANEL
|In the Matter of
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
BUREAU OF CITIZENSHIP AND
TEXAS SERVICE CENTER
LOCAL 3377, AMERICAN FEDERATION
Case No. 03 FSIP 77
DECISION AND ORDER
Local 3377, American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO (Union), filed a request for assistance with the Federal Service Impasses Panel (Panel) to consider a negotiation impasse under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (Statute), 5 U.S.C. § 7119, between it and the Department of Homeland Security, Border and Transportation Security Directorate, Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services, Texas Service Center, Dallas, Texas (Employer).(1)
Following investigation of the Union’s request for assistance in the case, which arose during mid-term negotiations over the Employer’s Work-at-Home Program (WAHP),(2) the Panel determined that the dispute should be resolved through an informal conference by telephone with Panel Member Andrea Fischer Newman. The parties were advised that if no settlement was reached, Member Newman would report to the Panel on the status of the dispute, including the parties’ final offers and her recommendations for resolving the impasse. After considering this information, the Panel would take whatever action it deemed appropriate to resolve the impasse, which could include the issuance of a binding decision.
Pursuant to this procedural determination, Member Newman conducted an informal conference with the parties by telephone on July 2, 2003. Although progress was made in reducing the scope of the dispute, the parties were unable to reach an overall settlement. Afterwards, they submitted their final offers and supporting statements of position. Member Newman has reported to the Panel and it has now considered the entire record.
The Employer’s mission is to promote national security, continue to eliminate immigration adjudications backlogs, implement solutions for improving immigration customer services, and continue efforts to fundamentally transform and improve the delivery of immigration and citizenship services. The Union represents approximately 600 employees in North Texas and Oklahoma who are part of a nationwide bargaining unit of over 15,500. It is part of the National Immigration and Naturalization Service Council (NINSC). The parties’ master collective bargaining agreement was due to expire in June 2003.
About 330 unit employees are located at the Texas Service Center (TSC) in Dallas, Texas, where this dispute arises. The unit includes Center Adjudication Officers (CAOs), Application Adjudicators (AAs), Immigration Information Officers, Intelligence Research Specialists, Intelligence Assistants, Automated Data Processors, Congressional Liaison Specialists, secretaries, and clerks, at grade levels GS-3 through GS-12. AAs are the primary group of employees affected by the instant impasse.
ISSUE AT IMPASSE
The parties essentially disagree over the grade level at which AAs should be eligible to participate in the WAHP.
POSITIONS OF THE PARTIES
1. The Union’s Position
The Union proposes the following wording:
The following positions and grade levels would be eligible to participate in the Work-At-Home-Program: (1) Center Adjudication Officer - GS-9; GS-11; GS-12; (2) Immigration Information Officer - GS-8; and Application Adjudicator - GS-7.
Expanding the program to include GS-7 AAs is consistent with the Congressional definition of the types of employees who should be eligible to work at home. It is also supported by policy guidance issued by the Office of Personnel Management, and the findings of a "joint management/bargaining unit Process Action Team" that studied the matter during the first and second quarters of FY 2002 and identified 11 benefits to the program, including "cost-effectiveness." In addition, the only reason AAs were excluded from the program at its inception in 1999 was because the position did not exist at that time. Participation in the program should be determined by supervisors on the basis of an assessment of the individual characteristics of employees. In this regard, experience in a position is a better measurement than pay grade for determining whether an employee should be permitted to work at home.
Contrary to the Employer’s position, there is no guarantee if, or when, the AA journeyman grade level will become GS-9. As a compromise, the Union is willing to agree to permit AAs with 52 weeks of experience at the GS-7 level to be eligible to participate. Expansion of the WAHP is also "the best solution for the projected shortage of workspace at the TSC," and would provide an alternative to implementing a second shift. Union surveys of unit employees show significant opposition to the implementation of a second shift, which would be "suicidal" for the TSC. In terms of comparability, the TSC was the "pioneer" in establishing a WAHP among the agency’s four service centers, yet it currently has only 44 participating employees while the others each have over 100. With a computer system capable of supporting 600 work-at-home employees, there is no justification for such low participation rates.
2. The Employer’s Position

Grants funding for nonprofit and community groups from New Castle County Executive Paul Clark will not go out this year as Clark tightens the county’s budget belt.
Clark’s office traditionally has given out grants to groups to help in their fundraising efforts, but because of the county’s financial challenges, the grants will not be given this year. That will save the county $45,800. That may be a small amount compared to the county’s projected shortfall of $5 million for the current fiscal year which ends June 30.
Clark says, “Although I am keenly aware that nonprofits are suffering from a decrease in charitable giving because of the economy, this government is also suffering through another tough budget year.” As bad as this year’s projected shortfall is, it’s expected to be twice as bad next year. The county is facing a $10 million shortfall for Fiscal Year 2012.
Last month, Clark ordered department leaders to trim their budgets by a combined total of $1 million. That effort has resulted in $1.14 million trimmed from county spending. “They did everything from consolidating vendor payments to canceling orders for office supplies,” Clark says.
Other budget cutting measures underway in the county means fewer replacement computers will be purchased- saving $55,000 – and police uniforms will be bought when needed instead of being stocked – saving $52,300.
Earlier this year, Clark announced that the county would no longer pay a federal lobbyist to represent the county’s interest in Washington, D.C. That will save the county $125,000.
Clark will present his spending plan to New Castle County on March 22. That presentation will be followed by budget hearings in the coming weeks.

Event-related potential correlates of social and nonsocial cognitive processes related to schizotypy
Social cognitive, neurocognitive, and social functioning research in serious mental illness (SMI) have recently proliferated. Their synergy requires translational bridges to applied research. This project aims to develop a measurement protocol capable of measuring independent components of social cognitive and neurocognitive brain functioning. These brain processes should each vary systematically with schizotypal traits whose extremes represent core elements of psychotic disorders. The measurement technology must be affordable, efficient, and acceptable for use in clinical settings. An ERP protocol was developed that incorporates an array of candidate measures. The stimuli consist of emotional (angry and happy), neutral, and scrambled (non-face comparison) faces. Each stimulus was displayed in a sequence of subliminal then supraliminal same-stimulus presentation. The protocol was piloted in an undergraduate sample recruited for a range of schizotypal traits. Several specific sets of hypotheses were tested. First, feasibility in terms of implementation and attrition was shown to be acceptable with some notable limitations. Second, the ERP protocol was tested for producing reliable conditional waveforms in expected electrode regions. Reliable measurement was achieved for the target components, P1, N170, and P300. Finally, these ERP measures were tested for 1) convergent validity with neuropsychological tests that are used to measure similar brain processes in SMI; 2) reliability as markers of traits that covary with degree of schizotypy and thus may be expected to parallel those in people with SMI; and 3) discriminative validity in measuring independent variance in brain responses to social and non-social stimuli. Results showed complex conditional effects, including replication, non-replication, and opposite effects compared to hypotheses and previous literature. However, altogether, the results suggest the ERP protocol and assessment battery successfully measured variance in an analogue sample reflecting dimensions related to SMI. Finally, after having interpreted the relationships of each candidate waveform and comparison independently and with external measures, a brief version of the ERP protocol is proposed that hones in on the stimuli that produce the most powerful measures according to the aforementioned hypotheses.

It was a great weekend for Kenyan players abroad with at least two of them scoring for their clubs in a move that should excite Harambee Stars coach Adel Amrouche ahead of the June 5 World Cup qualifier against Nigeria at home.
After sitting out last weekend’s Scottish league match due to suspension, midfielder Victor Wanyama came back to score one of the goals which helped his side Celtic to edge out Dundee 4-3 in a Scottish Cup semi-final match played at the Hampden Park on Saturday.
Wanyama scored in the 31st minute to level matters for his club after Mackay Steven and Jonathan Daly had scored for Dundee in the 22nd and 24th minutes respectively.It was however, Celtic who scored first through Kris Commons in the second minute of the match. Commons also scored again in the 60th minute with Anthony Stokes scoring an extra time goal to ensure Celtic made it to the finals.
This was however, after Daly had scored Dundee’s third goal in the 71st minute to level matters and send the game into extra time.
Goalkeeper Arnold Origi’s club Lillestrom won 2-0 against Brann though the Kenyan custodian did not play any role in the match as he was benched through-out the 90 minutes.
Captain Dennis Oliech started for his side Ajaccio after the team was held to a 1-1 draw by struggling Nancy at home. Oliech did not however, finish the match as he was substituted late giving way to Andy Delort.
Midfielder Divock Origi was a second half substitute when Lille drew 0-0 with Olympic Marseille in another French ligue one match. Origi is the son of former Kenyan international Mike Okoth.
Though he did not score, former Gor Mahia striker George Odhiambo played a key role as his club Shirak hit Ararat 3-1 in a local league match on Saturday.
Odhiambo provided an assist for Senagal midfielder Yoro Lamine Ly to score the opening goal in the 29th minute. Odhiambo joined the Armenian side two months ago and has already scored a goal for them.
Humphrey Mieno scored a 72nd minute equalizer for Azam as the team held former champions Simba SC 2-2 in a Tanzanian league match played on Sunday.
Simba went ahead early with two goals from Ramadhan Singano before Kipre Tcheteche pulled one back for Azam a few minutes to the break.
Then it was left to Mieno to score the equalizer and enable his team to remain second in the standing behind Yanga.Follow Goal.com Kenya on

Gibson proposes Retiree Corps to help schools
Gubernatorial candidate Jim Gibson says he wants to create a statewide version of the Peace Corps staffed by volunteer retirees.
Gibson, mayor of Henderson, is a Democratic candidate for governor.
The Retiree Corps, he said, would be used to expand literacy programs to every school district by taking advantage of the expertise of seniors throughout the state. He said especially those with math and science or computer backgrounds along with other technical skills would be called on to help students in middle and high schools.
“We must be good stewards for our children’s education and for our seniors’ quality of life,” Gibson said.
He said the Retiree Corps would do both by providing seniors a chance to contribute and improving educational opportunities in Nevada’s schools, especially in technical fields.
He said a tax-exempt foundation guided by a board of civic, business, education and policy experts will direct the Retiree Corps. He said if elected governor, he intends to leverage every available private dollar to make the Retiree Corps a reality.

I bought a few boxes. I did not measure for performance. I shot some in a new Canik SFX. It did not particularly like the nose on them and failed to load at times. I suspect a little polishing of the ramp might help. I have not tried them in other 9's yet, but I will try to remember to do it.

We started the evening with some lovely material by the fine jazz pianist Chick Corea. Many will remember him for his fusion work with his Electric Band (with bassist John Pattucci). But if you turn back a few pages in the calendar, you’ll find that he put out some varied, interesting work during the ’60s and ’70s. Naturally, we would be amiss to forget his significant contributions to Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew album, and the tour that supported it. But he did an album in ’68, Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, that had some tremendous material, performed in a trio format with Miroslav Vitous (a Czech bassist who did quite a bit of work on the ECM label in the late ’70s and early ’80s) and the noted drummer Roy Haynes. After doing Bitches Brew with Miles Davis, he formed Circle, a free jazz quartet with Barry Altschul, Dave Holland (another Brew alum) and the experimental saxophonist Anthony Braxton. Corea then went on to form Return to Forever with Stanley Clarke and yet another Brew alumnus, drummer Lenny White. This band would create some of the better fusion jazz of the ’70s, blending the best of their rock influences with the best of their jazz influences. So we heard a pair of songs from Now he Sings, Now He Sobs (the title track, and Steps – What Was), then we heard a pair of Return to Forever songs (from 1973’s Light As A Feather) and Captain Senor Mouse (from ’74’s Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy).
I do enjoy it when I am presented the opportunity to play some Led Zeppelin. Of course, I could probably play Led Zeppelin whenever I wanted to, but I do my best to avoid being overly repetitive, one of those little rules that I use to govern the programming of the show. Having recently seen the Celebration Day DVD (and what a show it was – an absolute treat for fans of this great band), I feel inspired to program some Zep in this week, as it has been a bit since I’ve played this great band, I figure that now is a pretty good time. So we heard a couple songs from Physical Graffiti, and a song from Presence (I purposefully chose from their later material, as : In The Light, Achilles Last Stand, and Sick Again.
The Pixies were one of those monumentally influential indie bands from the late ’80s/early ’90s. You might not have heard them on radio (unless you were listening to a college radio station), but they were there. Their first album, Surfer Rosa, was quite excellent, a wonderful mix of interesting ideas, the rich vocal interplay between Frank Black and bassist Kim Deal, and gritty guitar playing on the part of Black and Joey Santiago. The result is probably some of the most memorable music from the late ’80s. So, from Surfer Rosa, we heard Where Is My Mind, Bone Machine, and Broken Face.
Paul Hindemith was an interesting composer, and a noted teacher and music theorist. He was a contemporary of Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern (b. 1895, d. 1963), yet his ideas of tonality provided a sharp contrast to the twelve-tone methods of Schoenberg and his school (he used his own distinctive twelve-tone method that was less abstract than that of Schoenberg’s). Although he at times identified himself as an Expressionist, his music is often described as “neo-classical”, although there are significant differences between Hindemith’s “neo-classical” and that of Igor Stravinski’s. Like Schoenberg, he also emigrated to the United States in order to escape Nazi repression, although he later resided in Switzerland. Tonight we heard an early work of his, his Violin Sonata Op. 11 No. 1 in E Flat. Written in 1918, it was one of two violin sonatas that Hindemith wrote for his Op. 11. Tonight’s recording also has some historical significance, as this 1965 recording was the first recording made by the noted violinist Itzhak Perlman. David Garvey provides the piano accompaniment.
Like the Led Zeppelin, Sigur Ros is a band that I frequently play on the show, yet have not had the opportunity to play in a while. So we closed the show with some Sigur Ros – Sæglópur, from 2005’s Takk, and the more recent Varúð, from last year’s Valtari. I am pleased to hear that they will be issuing a new album in mid-June, although I’m sorry to see that their long-time keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson. They have announced that they shall tour as a three-piece (although that in reality is fairly relative, as they frequently have a string section touring with them). Although they have stated that the material on Valtari is hard to recreate on stage, it is still some gorgeous material, and worthy of being heard. I will look forward to hearing the new album.

Listen to A History of the Easter Rising in 10 Objects Ep 6: A Flag from the Gunship Helga
The sixth in a ten part podcast series on a 'History of the Easter Rising in 10 Objects' discusses the flag from the 'gunship' Helga which was responsible for part of the artillery fire on Dublin city.
Many accounts and testimonies from the Easter Rising make reference to the Helga, a gunboat that came up the River Liffey and is assumed to have laid waste to much of Dublin city centre with artillery.
Yet the Helga’s role in the suppression of the Rising illustrates the degree to which appearances can deceive. There was indeed a vessel called the Helga—these artefacts are proof of that. It did come up the Liffey. And it was equipped with guns. But it is stretching matters too far to describe it as a gunboat.

The late queen, Aaliyah, re-released her self-titled album. The album was originally released July 7th, 2001 by Blackground Records and Virgin Records. When it first released, Aaliyah received praiseworthy reviews. It even reached number two on the US Billboard 200.
Aaliyah re-released Friday, September 10th 2021. This re-release allows her fans to listen to more of her discography. Until this recent album release, most of her music was difficult to find on digital streaming platforms. Even though Aaliyah’s music catalogue is easily accessible on these digital platforms, fans still have their reservations about listening to her music since there were discrepancies between her label and her family. Despite the fan’s mixed feelings, the fans took a liking to Aaliyah as the album encompasses a variety of sounds such as soul, pop, and R&B. The record also features some of her classic hits like “Rock the Boat” and “Try Again.”

Credit card debt is greater amongst those in younger age brackets. Relating to data through the PWC, those aged 18-24 have actually the greatest financial obligation to earnings ratio вЂ“ their credit card debt is equivalent to 100per cent of the earnings. Those aged 25-34 have actually personal debt add up to simply over half their income. That drops to around one fourth for everyone aged 35-44, to simply over 15% of these earnings for the people aged 45-55, and around 10% for all aged 55 and over.
Of course, just a little proportion of this borrowing that is unsecured in the type of payday loan. More credit that is enticing and overdraft deals in more modern years, along side a number of negative press surrounding payday loans, meant that, within the last couple of few years, numerous pay day loans direct loan providers thought we would leave industry plus some collapsed. Low interest designed that borrowing had been fairly low priced.
In 2011-2012, the pay day loan market had been well worth, in accordance with governmental numbers, between ВЈ2.0 and ВЈ2.2 billion вЂ“ an astounding increase from the thing that was a figure of a projected ВЈ900 million in 2008-2009. The increase of those items was followed closely by a rise that is significant the amount of individuals experiencing serious financial obligation dilemmas as a result of making use of these items. Payday advances were managed in 2014 after intense negative press regarding these dangerous lending options, as well as the industry has declined from the pre 2014 top. In 2015, a cap was introduced from the interest levels which can be charged in term that is short. But, individuals do nevertheless sign up for term that is short UK, with extortionately high interest levels.
Those turning to pay day loans, nevertheless, are the ones that do certainly not have most of an option. People that have woeful credit reviews or that have maybe not yet had the opportunity to built a credit record up, continue to be sick served for emergencies by traditional high street lenders. Regulators have actually attempted to provide for non-profit credit unions to fulfil the requirements of this selection of people, but regrettably, these loan providers don’t have the capability to provide everybody in this case.
There isn’t much proof for an increase in unlawful loan sharks to fulfil the requirements of these individuals. Nevertheless, the FCA has stated that some families in need of money are now being targeted by money lenders providing cards at meals banking institutions or in school gates. Short term installment loans credit that is bad and bad
credit loans that are payday target those people who have minimum. By saying they’ve short term installment loans no credit check, they feature desire to those in need вЂ“ but it comes down at huge cost. Those people who are in a serious situation that is financial being exploited by lenders providing instant payday loans without making clear what they cost.
A lot of people whom look for payday advances, and would possibly have fallen victim in past times are, this indicates, now turning to borrowing from nearer to home вЂ“ organizing loans from household or buddies. 7% of British grownups are borrowing from family relations or friends, or had done this within the year that is last. Whenever individuals borrow independently from those they know and trust, they are, perhaps, the most effective short term installment loans. That is significantly more than the reported 6% associated with the adult UK population who took down credit that is high-cost.
Payday loan providers are nevertheless a choice, nonetheless, and the ones in hopeless straits are nevertheless relying on this choice. Some individuals are likely to short-term loan providers with regards to loved ones acting as guarantors when it comes to loans. Once more, it really is well well worth reiterating (and financial obligation charities agree) that in the event that you have actually another option, pay day loans are maybe perhaps not the most readily useful concept.
Who Removes an online payday loan?
The statistics reveal that individuals are more inclined to just take down a quick payday loan if they’re aged between 25 and three decades old, if they’re solitary, and living in rented accommodation.

Next in Fashion season 2: Where is the winner now?
Next in Fashion season 2 spoilers follow.
Next in Fashion season two has officially arrived on Netflix, introducing fans to a fresh group of aspiring fashion designers competing for a $200,000 cash prize and the chance to debut their collection on e-commerce fashion platform Rent the Runway.
Queer Eye's Tan France returns as host and judge for the second outing, along with supermodel Gigi Hadid (who replaces season one's Alexa Chung), and a star-studded panel of guest judges including Bella Hadid, Donatella Versace, Emma Chamberlain, and Vogue contributing editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson.
Each episode sees the budding creatives design and sew visionary looks in various themed challenges, ranging from Met Gala-ready ballgowns to transformation outfits worthy of a Ru-veal on the Drag Race main stage.
The original 12 contestants were eventually whittled down to finalists Bao Tranchi, Deontré Hancock and Nigel Xavier, who were tasked with showcasing a collection of eight looks for the final runway with only three days to prepare and a team of experienced sewers on hand.
The trio went all out for their collections, but Nigel's Woodstock-inspired looks and impressive showstopper came out on top, meaning that the Atlanta-based designer was crowned this year's Next in Fashion.
"The world is seeing my vision and this is really going to change my life," he said after his triumph. "I don't know where it's gonna go, but I know that I have what it takes to be next in fashion. I am next in fashion."
But what has Nigel been up to since his big win?
Where is Nigel Xavier now?
Aside from taking home the $200,000 and his upcoming collection launch with Rent the Runway, Nigel will reportedly be hosting a Culture + Diversity panel with three of his Next in Fashion co-stars – including Denotré, Desyrée Nicole and Amari Carter – where each of the designer's looks will be on display (via thecinemaholic).
Since filming for season two wrapped, he's also displayed his work at CultureCon in New York City, which is described as "the go-to conference for diverse creatives and young professionals," and has had some of his clothing appear in GQ Magazine.
In a new interview with Tudum, Nigel opened up about his plans for the future and said that he's going to try to take his clothing "to that mass market level."
"I get bored of things very easily, so I’m trying to get out of that and grow my mind more on a business level," he continued. "I see myself more as an artist than a fashion designer. I just want to create art, but I know I need to tap more into that role of being a fashion designer and having a fashion house. I want to leave a legacy here, and this show helped me jump-start it. I need to just follow up with some pressure."
Nigel is best known for his "patchwork and textile manipulation," with his unique style drawing influence from '90s and early '00s fashion, as well as the music industry.
While winning Next in Fashion is sure to catapult his career to new levels (the fact he's already gone from 16k to 131k followers on Instagram should be a good indication), Nigel has already designed for a number of musical clients – most recently, 2 Chainz.
The former football player has also admitted that "adapting and observing different cultures has made [him] versatile and open-minded," with his most-prized garment being an oversized pair of patchwork denim jeans that can fit up to six people in them (via Tudum).
Next in Fashion seasons 1 and 2 are available to watch on Netflix.

Revenue and losses more than doubled for Salon.com (Nasdaq: SALN) in the first quarter.
Excluding one-time events, the online media company posted a fiscal first quarter net loss of $4.6 million, or 43 cents a share, based on shares outstanding after the company's recent IPO. Preferred Capital Markets -- the only investment firm with a Salon.com estimate, according to First Call -- predicted a loss of 61 cents a share, for the quarter ended June 30.
First quarter revenue of $1 million represented a 146 percent improvement from $408,000 in the year-ago period, when Salon.com lost $1.425 million. Revenues were up 16 percent sequentially. Higher
Continued spending on content and expansion of the company's sales and marketing force led to the increased losses, the company said. "We've experienced great results thus far from our radio spots and print magazine ads and look forward to the impact of our planned television advertising," said Michael O'Donnell, president and CEO.
Salon.com reported a 13 percent increase in traffic, to 1.3 million users in June from 1.15 million in March.
The company recorded a one-time charge of $11.5 million related to a non-cash preferred deemed dividend associated with Salon.com's Series C preferred stock issued in April. Including that expense, Salon.com lost $16.1 million, or $1.50 a share.
Shares of Salon.com rose 9/16 to 8 3/4 in Monday's regular trading prior to the quarterly report. The one analyst polled by Zack's Investment Research has a "moderate buy" rating on Salon.com.>

If you’ve ever been forced to choose between an electric dirt bike and an electric scooter, Czech electric bike manufacturer Kuberg has a potential solution. It’s called the Ranger, and the company describes it as a “fully electric crossbreed” between the two. Was anyone actually asking for this combination of things? That’s … unclear.
Anyway, the combination of a 19-inch front wheel and a 14-inch rear might be the first thing you notice about this bike. It looks sleekly minimalistic and purposeful, like it’s meant to take you out on the trails for a little fun in the dirt. It doesn’t feature the kind of bold graphics that help you stand out, and it comes in just two understated colors: black or military green.
It’s powered by a 14kW motor, and Kuberg claims it can hit a top speed of 50 mph. Range will, of course, vary widely depending on what type of riding you’re doing, as well as whether you equip the optional double batter pack option. If going flat out at full power, claimed range is just 19 miles with a single battery pack, or 38 with a double. However, Kuberg also claims you can get it up to 60 miles when a blue fairy sprinkles you with magic dust, and you also ride in Eco mode using a double battery pack. Charge time is two hours.
Gallery: Kuberg Ranger
The bike weighs just 110 pounds, has a carrying capacity of 220 pounds, and a towing capacity of 66 pounds. It features Kuberg’s brand-new reclining Air Lift seat, which can be folded down toward the rear shock with a single button press. The Ranger will have Manitou Dorado Expert forks up front (with 180mm of travel) and a DNM Burner RCP-3 shock in the rear. Tektro Orion 4-piston brakes stop you.
Kuberg says it plans to launch the Ranger’s IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign soon, but doesn’t give a specific date. Three different packages will be available: the Race 14kW, which comes with a kickstand and the Air Lift reclining seat for $7,544; the Adventure Early Bird Package, with the Air Lift reclining seat, fenders, regenerative braking, and a trailer for $8,449; and the 8kW Pure, which comes with no reclining seat or kickstand for $6,150. Please note that each of those prices is the full price, not including various discounts offered for IndieGoGo project backers.

Seizure is a common disorder that many people suffer from. It is triggered due to a sudden change or burst of abnormal electrical functioning in the brain. Each person has a different experience of seizure. Chances are you may remember or be conscious during the seizure or you may not remember anything about it. However, if you get multiple seizures that too with a gap of 24 hours, then it indicates you have epilepsy. This condition can be treated with medicines or surgery and in some cases it stops without any treatment. You can contact the best neurosurgeon in Ludhiana for better analysis and treatment of your specific condition.
What exactly is Epileptic Seizures?
Epilepsy is a common seizure disorder and according to the reports of the World Health Organisation, 50 million people suffer from this disorder globally. Human brain has exceptional powers, it works consistently and systematically to regulate the functions of our body. It sends signals and receives multiple signals throughout the body using neurons and it helps maintain an orderly pattern in the body. However, when this pattern is interrupted or imbalanced, seizures occur.
If a person has epilepsy, it causes recurrent imbalance in the natural electric order or rhythm of the brain. Hence, the person gets recurrent seizures. This can be managed by consulting the best neurologist in ludhiana for best treatments.
Types of Epileptic Seizures
Following are the types of epileptic seizures:
- Focal – As the name suggests, these types of seizures start in the brain at one specific part. It can eventually spread in other parts of the brain and it can potentially develop into generalised seizures.
- Generalised – Unlike the focal seizures, generalised seizures start on both sides of the brain. Depending on the level of awareness and intensity it is further divided into different types.
- Complications of injury during pregnancy affecting the foetus.
- Brain malformation, tumour or cyst in the brain.
- Accident that caused head inquiry or head trauma.
- Other infections such as HIV or meningitis.
- Mental disorders such as Alzheimer’s diseases.
- Insufficient amount of oxygen to the brain at the time of birth.
- It can be caused due to genetics but it is uncertain to predict. In many cases, it is not transferred genetically. Also, the chance of getting this disorder because your sibling or parent has it is less than 5%.
To know which treatment suits your condition the best, you should consult the best neurosurgeon in Ludhiana. Epilepsy can be life-long or stop on its own. It has no cure. But using medications and surgery, it can be managed.
- Diet Change – Diet changes help those especially children who do not respond to treatment. They are prescribed to consume a ketogenic diet which is low in carbohydrates and high in fat.
- Electric Device – An electrical device is surgically placed to regulate and stimulate nerves. This helps in preventing seizures.
- Surgery – A qualified and experienced neurologist in ludhiana can help perform surgery in which the part of the brain that causes seizure can be removed or altered.
- Medications – Doctors prescribe various medicines that can help in reducing the number of seizures. These medicines are anti seizure drugs.
- In case, you are aware of the things that trigger seizures, then it is easier to avoid them.
Suffering from a disorder can be daunting due to various complications and restrictions involved. But if you get the right treatment from the best neurosurgeon in Ludhiana, then you can live easily and worry-free. By taking medications and treatment on time, you can live happily despite the diseases.

Tiffany is the Founder of Highly Sensitive Parent. She is an educator, researcher, and writer who currently lives in Evanston, IL, with her husband, two sons, and gigantic cat.
Learn more about Tiffany on our About page!
The eight women taking this class represented a diversity of age and life stage that felt refreshing to my 20-something self. There were three friends who had signed up for the class together, working artists and stay-at-home mothers of young children struggling for balance. There was a scientist and crafter, so self-conscious about her weight that she couldn't see her radiant gentleness and beauty. There was a loving Jewish mother, retired from teaching with one grown son, ready to take care of us and envelop us in warmth. There was a religious academic, serious and thoughtful, who was considering a trip to Africa in the coming year. There was a woman who never quite seemed to be open to what we were all there to experience - I struggled to like her, to find the generosity of spirit I knew I could and should muster in that safe space. And there was me, the eager puppy of the group.
I had entered my PhD program at twenty-one because I’m really good at doing school and I didn’t know what else to do with my life. I still felt like I was floating through the world, searching for my anchor. While others spent their early twenties traveling or working through entry-level jobs to find focus and purpose, I floundered under the security blanket of pursuing a doctorate. I wasn’t sure I wanted to be a professor, but I knew how to be a student. I signed up for The Artist’s Way class in my seventh year to give me a kick start with my dissertation. The greater gift of this class would be the creative cleansing that Sherry and my Artist’s Way soul sisters would provide.
Julia Cameron asserts that we are all artists. Born to create, we each have the inherent capacity to experience the joy of art on a daily basis, whether we call ourselves artists or not. In this safe space I learned to nurture my inner Artist Child - unapologetically, without irony. I did my Morning Pages studiously, three pages of brain dump journaling every morning. I never missed an Artist Date, a weekly two hour date with myself devoted to play and discovery and simple pleasures. I kept up with the reading and completed my assignments with the zeal of the overachieving student, committing in a way that others in the group only wished they could. I was a full time grad student, no kids, no structured job, and my time was an unappreciated luxury. Back then I still squandered whole afternoons on long unnecessary naps and network reruns of mediocre movies.
When tasked with the homework of creating a collage to share in class I threw myself into the project with a sense of joy I hadn’t felt in years. I spent three hours filling an entire poster board with hundreds of images from magazines and garden catalogues - a cardinal like the cheerful fellow who lived on our back patio, a graceful outdoor turtle pond I hoped to build when I actually had a yard, the purple and white flower that had inspired my tattoo, a chunky baby who looked like the boy I dreamed of having with my new husband. The scene flowed clockwise from Spring to Summer to Fall to Winter and captured the essence of me and what I love. When it came time to share each member of our group shared her heartfelt collage. I went last, sheepish and a little giddy as I displayed my elaborate masterpiece. I was re-discovering the healing properties of play and creation.
On one of my Artist’s Dates I walked down the street to browse at the Brown Elephant thrift store. I wandered through the aisles of junk and let my hand drift over carved wood and glass vases and porcelain figurines, bags of clothes pins and mis-matched balls of yarn, imagining the ways in which I might give new life to old things. I discovered a Beanie Baby stuffed animal, a fuzzy white goose with tiny black bead eyes, orange beak, yellow legs and feet. The label named her “Gussy” and I brought her home for a dollar.
I imagined Gussy as my muse, my writing inspiration. Gussy loves to write, but since her wings are useless at the keyboard she just pecks at the keys with her beak. If Gussy can commit to writing when she doesn’t even have hands, I thought, what’s my excuse?
I have always loved to read and in high school I learned that I also love to write. Yet this love of writing never translated into an actual commitment to writing. I co-edited the creative writing magazine at my high school without contributing any of my own content. I received a writing award in my graduating class but never considered enrolling in a creative writing class in college. I took pride in the praise I earned from TA’s for papers written hastily the night before. I mentally filed away every compliment I ever received for my writing (something I still do). I talked about how I would love to write. I read fiction and essays voraciously, kept up an informal blog for awhile to share my stories, attended open mic nights and dreamt of getting up to read on stage. I basked in the glow of my potential, smug about how great my writing could be if I ever worked at it. The working at it just never came. I was a stilted creative, outwardly critical of most things I read and secretly jealous of most writers.
The Artist’s Way class pulled me into confronting all the fears that kept me from speaking and writing with my true voice. What if I started writing and had nothing to say? What if what I wrote embarrassed me and upset my family? What if I disappointed people who expected greatness? Gussy gently urged me to stop taking myself so seriously. I have hands, after all, and if I want to write I should just write.
Gussy cheered me on through my year of writing and my successful dissertation defense. She rejoiced with me when I found a job and she watched proudly as I found my anchor as a mother, even as the exhausted disequilibrium of new motherhood led me to abandon my Morning Pages for years. She encouraged me when baby #2 arrived and I fought to reclaim my Morning Pages and my creative self. Even when I wasn’t writing Gussy kept my desire to write alive.
I recently pulled Gussy from a moving box as we settled into a new home. My two-year-old immediately adopted her as a best friend for Pancake the polar bear, one of the only well-loved toys in our house that doesn’t have wheels. He calls out, “Where’s my Gussy?” at bedtime and totes her about the house with his dimpled fist clenched around her long neck. Her fluffy fur feathers are dingy now and her head flops to one side. The perfectionist in me wants to put her back on the shelf where she will stay beautiful and pristine. Yet my kids remind me that we should love our friends fiercely, not admire them from a distance. I'm ready to let Gussy move on to a new role in our family.
Anyway, it turns out that it’s not a muse that I need. It’s a community. I need my friends and family and the writers I admire and my readers to keep pushing me back to the keyboard, back to my notebook. I write because life feels better when I’m writing. I’m more patient, more loving, more playful, and more present in all areas of my life when I’ve given time every day to creating. Yet along with exercise - the only other thing that always makes me feel better and that I never find time to do - writing is the hardest thing for me to prioritize. It's the gentle nudges and the occasional loving kick in the butt that keep me honest about my need to write.
A few days ago I got one of those nudges from my sister when she tagged me in this Facebook post about the podcast "Magic Lessons with Elizabeth Gilbert," saying, “Tiffany, this is so true and so you!”
Thank you, Elizabeth Gilbert and Julia Cameron and all you writers out there who are honest about the struggles and joys of the creative life, for inspiring me to keep going.
And thank you, dear reader, for giving me a reason to show up here.
Now please excuse me while I go binge on that podcast.
Thank you for reading! If you liked this post, please like or share on Facebook or leave a comment below! I would love to hear from you.

CORVALLIS, Oregon—“Everyone step back 20 meters!” Michael Wing shouts before a Phantom 3 quadcopter loaded with sensors takes off in a clearing. Even though the drone’s pilot, Jonathan Burnett, has many hours of flying under his belt, caution is at the forefront. “All it takes is a fraction of a second to damage your arm, your hand, or your face,” Wing says, pointing at a set of six-inch blades.
I take the message to heart and back up a lot farther than I need to. By the time I stop walking Burnett has started up the rotors of the three-pound, two-foot-long machine. The buzz isn’t as loud as I expected, but I’m still glad that I’m not standing next to it.
Then, in a flash, the drone is in the air. It shoots upward, levels off, and then zips across the field. At the controls, Burnett swings it around and points it where it needs to go. Every change in direction is in the blink of an eye.
Wing and Burnett aren’t flying for fun or testing a way to deliver your packages by air,Jetsons style. Rather they’re scientists, and the flying robot buzzing overhead may just help save the world’s forests and the wildlife that depend on them. That includes nearly a million acres of Douglas fir trees in the Pacific Northwest that are dying of a disease that is spreading rapidly throughout the region.

The Endoprothetik-Congress is an annual platform for around 400-500 surgeons, ranging from top key opinion leaders in orthopaedic surgery to early-career professionals and physiotherapists. The event encourages exchange of medical and scientific knowledge on a broad range of subjects, focusing on knee and hip arthroplasty, but include other orthopaedic topics such as post-operatic complication management and prevention. These latter topics are where Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR) is relevant, because patient smoking of combustible cigarettes after procedures can affect recovery.
As Imperial Brands’ Scientific Affairs and Engagement Representative, I manned a virtual stand throughout the event, outlining the public health policy of harm reduction and the role of Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR) science in the development of our Next Generation Products (NGPs). I also covered the role of nicotine when decoupled from burned tobacco in the context of THR.
I also had the opportunity to present a live lecture ‘Risk Reduction by Alternatives for Smoking’ in front of 400 attendees during the main scientific programme session for ‘Complication Prevention in Knee and Hip Arthroplasty’. Here, I introduced THR in the context that a) smoking may be an important risk factor for surgical complications, and b) physicians very often have significant misunderstandings around nicotine and its perceived role in smoking-related diseases.
The short lecture landed very well and started first thoughts and conversations with Professor Thorsten Gehrke (one of the two chairmen during the session and Director of the Helios-Endo-Clinic in Hamburg) confessing: “I really learned something from your lecture today — until today I also believed that nicotine is mainly responsible for smoking related diseases.”
Prof. Gehrke is also one of the three Congress Presidents, and he added that the THR presentation was technically excellent and economically balanced and received extremely positively by the vast majority of his colleagues.
The Endo-Congress organisers report at least 900 attendees; from these around 400 attended the session on risk management with the lecture on THR.
To continue on this path of medical and scientific education around THR, further activities for healthcare providers including orthopedy, dentistry as well as wound management are now planned for the future, further educating influential medical professionals about nicotine and the potential public health benefit potential of endorsing THR strategies.

Bhandari will lead overall brand, marketing, and demand generation efforts at the home design firm
Livspace primarily competes with Sequoia Capital-funded HomeLane
Bengaluru: Online home design startup Livspace (Home Interior Designs E-commerce Pvt. Ltd) said it has appointed Kartikeya Bhandari, formerly senior marketing director at Flipkart, as its first ever chief marketing officer. Bhandari will lead overall brand, marketing, and demand generation efforts at the home design firm as it enters its next phase of growth and expansion, Livspace said in a statement on Thursday.
At Flipkart, Bhandari led the marketing strategy and launch of the online retailer’s popular Big Billion Days sale, among other projects. Before Flipkart, Bhandari worked with Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia in multiple sales and marketing roles both in India and in Finland. At Livspace, the newly-appointed marketing head’s key tasks will include building on the company’s success and spearheading its evolution into a brand of national and global repute.
Late last year, Livspace raised $70 million in a Series C funding round led by private equity firm TPG Growth and Goldman Sachs as it sought to expand to new cities, open a large number of stores and accelerate sales growth. It was one of the largest funding rounds by a vertical e-commerce startup, many of which have struggled to attract capital in the past two years.
After the funding round, Livspace co-founder Ramakant Sharma told Mint in an interview that the company was targeting monthly gross sales of $11-12 million by March 2019, up from roughly $7 million at end-September. The company had also said it planned to expand its presence to six more cities by 2019, up from seven cities back then.
With plans to enter new markets, doubling its retail footprint and enter new product categories on the horizon, Livspace said on Thursday that it believed the time was right to bring a veteran marketing leader on board. “This is a crucial time for the business as we are poised to take Livspace to its next phase of growth. Kartikeya’s vast experience in online retail and marketing will help us accelerate our brand goals," Anuj Srivastava, Livspace’s co-founder and chief executive officer said in a statement.
Livspace primarily competes with Sequoia Capital-funded HomeLane, as well as bigger furniture e-retailers, Pepperfry and Urban Ladder. It offers a marketplace for customers to buy interior designs online from designers, and software tools for designers to streamline their workflow.

Jai Arjun quotes Carriere:
"The advice I give students who are just starting out and want to know how to develop a story – or at least get the starting point for it –– is: take a person or a group of people, make them desire something, and then introduce an obstacle to that desire," he says. "Some of the world's greatest stories have been built on these simple elements: the desire and the obstacle."Indeed! For life is like that -- a continuous struggle between out desires and obstacles. And to capture the heart-break and also the ecstacy of occasionally winning this struggle is what good story writers do well. Think, Alice Munro.

Hundreds of supporters of the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, are jubilating over the Supreme Court judgment freeing him of the false asset declaration charges against him.
The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the appeal of the Senate President and discharged him of the remaining three false assets declaration charges he was facing.
Following the Supreme Court’s judgement, the people of his senatorial district came out to celebrate.
At the palace of the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, the supporters rode to the palace in motorcycles and tricycles as they were received by the traditional ruler in his palace.
The Senate President had filed an appeal at the Supreme Court to challenge the ruling of the Court of Appeal which asked the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) to try him on three of the 18 counts brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Ruling in favour of Dr Saraki’s appeal, the Supreme court dismissed the entire 18 charges brought against him by the Federal Government and consequently discharged and acquitted him accordingly.
The judgement according to an aide of the Senate President is a triumph for rule of law.

GOSHEN, Ind. — In every generation, young people have responded to the drum of war as military volunteers or draftees, paying with service, and often with their lives to resolve conflicts between governments. Yet others choose an alternative by becoming conscientious objectors (COs), to serve their country by refusing to take up arms.
These individuals are recognized in the documentary film “The Good War and Those Who Refused to Fight It,” which aired on public television in 2002. Judith Ehrlich, writer, director and producer of the film, and Suzanne O’Brien, national outreach coordinator, were guests of Goshen College on Jan. 7 for a special screening of the film and discussion on educating youth, their mentors and society, on the history of conscientious objection and its current status as an alternative when registering for the draft.
Their visit came just days after the announcement that the film was awarded the John E. O’Conner Film Award from the American Historical Association.
Ehrlich had a special interest in Civilian Public Service (CPS), a project set up for COs during World War II to substitute unpaid work of national importance for military service. In making the film, she wanted to raise consciousness about CPS.
“I thought I knew a lot about the draft,” said Ehrlich, “but I didn’t know about CPS camps. I thought if I didn’t know about CPS camps, no one knew about CPS camps. I thought I’d take them out of the trash bin of history.”
Sam Yoder, professor emeritus of education, was interviewed in the film about his experience in CPS as a young man coming from an Amish community near Goshen. CPS was the primary alternative for many young Mennonite men, and some women, who refused military service during World War II.
In the discussion after viewing the film, participants shared their struggles with the question of military service, conscientious objection and refusing to register.
Doug Hostetter, adjunct professor of peace, justice, and conflict studies, told the audience of his experience during the Vietnam War. As a CO, Hostetter chose for his alternative service to be a volunteer for Mennonite Central Committee in one of the most dangerous regions of Vietnam. Hostetter served without fighting, and was able to win the respect of many of the U.S. soldiers in the area.
Hostetter refuted the criticism that conscientious objectors choose the position out of fear of combat, saying “There are many opportunities for pacifists who want to put themselves in situations of conflict to do so. There are many types of service to one’s country and the world,” said Hostetter. It is only a few who are called, voluntarily or by the draft, “to put their lives on the line,” he added. During the Vietnam War, Hostetter estimated that a proportionate number of relief workers to U.S. soldiers were killed.
Discussion and workshops during the day also included current options for young men who must decide if they will register for the draft, ways for colleges and churches to provide scholarships to alleviate the financial stress that pushes many youth into the military, and the importance of CO history as a part of U.S. history.
Ehrlich and O’Brien are traveling throughout the U.S. with the film and holding discussion groups to get advice on spreading the message to a wide audience. The group at GC included students, faculty, retired professors, high school students, pastors and peace activists.
Goshen College is a national liberal arts college known for leadership in international education, service-learning and peace and justice issues in the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition. Recognized for its unique Study-Service Term program and exceptional educational value, GC serves about 1,000 students in both traditional and nontraditional programs. The college earned citations of excellence among U.S.News & World Report, Yahoo! and Barron’s Best Buys in Higher Education. For more information, visit www.goshen.edu/.

Water transport through structured clayey soils may be prone to by-pass flow, a mechanism that may lead to rapid transport of contaminants to ground water. To quantify the significance of low-tension water flow in structured soils, apparent steady-state infiltration rates at water potentials from -0.24 to 0 m were measured using tension infiltrometers on 18 soils of varying texture and structure. Each infiltration measurement was conducted sequentially at -0.24, -0.12, -0.06, -0.03, -0.02, -0.01, and 0 m supply potentials (Ψ(supply)), all at the same soil location, to separate different size pores effective in transmitting water. Results from 96 soil horizons showed that 76 ± 18% (mean ± SD) of the water fluxes at Ψ(supply) = 0 m (total water flux) were transmitted through macropores (active at Ψ(supply) ≤ -0.03 m), although macropores usually constituted a small portion of a sows total porosity. Mesopores (active at Ψ(supply) > -0.24 m) contributed 19 ± 13% of total water flux. Micropores dominated the soils' total porosities, but generally contributed < 10% of the total water flux. Macropores and mesopores showed greater influence on water flow in clays than in sands at Ψ(supply) > -0.24 m. Values of soil macroscopic λ(c) and microscopic λ(m) capillary length scales were determined from the change in infiltration rates with Ψ(supply). Values of λ(c), a hydraulic conductivity-weighted mean capillary water potential, were greater for sands (63 mm) than loams (50 mm), and greater for loams than clays (22 mm). Values of λ(m), the mean hydraulically effective pore size, were greater for clays (0.33 mm) than loams (0.1 5 mm), and greater for loams than sands (0.12 mm). Most of the soils studied showed hydraulic characteristics associated with by-pass flow.

Pardon my absence from the office so far this week. I’m getting my shit together for a road trip to ma dukes’ spot in Marietta. I’m making sure I have the iPod loaded up with treats because I can’t trust the radio down there. Shit, I can’t trust the radio here in NYC either.
What are the spots in the post-Olympics Atlanta? Is Club Nikki’s still popping? How about Al Capone’s? I’m so out of the effing loop for that town. It seems like a lifetime ago when I first considered living in the ‘A’. Actually, it was a lifetime ago. Just like ‘Ye Tudda, you couldn’t tell me nothing back in 1991.
I learned a lot fucking around with Atlanta back then. First off is that niggas in the South can shoot straight. While New York City cats talk wild greasy gun talk, cats from Atlanta actually go to shooting ranges to get their shot right. So when they pull their joints out[ll], there won’t be no missed shots.
The second biggest lesson I learned is not to fall asleep with a Spelman chick in your bed, especially if she strips. Spelman chicks can act all high post when a rapper says the word “bitch”, but trust me that those bitches say it twice as much and mean it too. I’m lucky that bitch only stole my wallet and didn’t slit my throat.
Lesson 2a would be NEVER to trust a bitch from Flint, Michigan. No matter what university she attends.
Atlanta was so on the come up back then because Black universities were looking at a surge in enrollment. I give credit to Public Enemy, X-Clan and Poor Righteous Teachers for making knowledge a cool possession at that time. The fact that being ignorant is fashionable now has more to do with American culture than it does Hip-Hop. It’s just too bad that Hip-Hop has been guided by the people that could care less about Black folks remaining as the wretched of the Earth(yes Franz Fanon). Anyhoo…
If you live in the ‘A’ and you know of some official spots to copp kicks and ‘Lo wears hit your boy off with that info on the comments thread ya’dig?!?
I’ll make sure I come back through the office again before E Dubbz sets off his historic histrionic blog holiday.

Ohio Lawmakers Vote To Ban Internet Cafes
Ohio lawmakers voted to ban the 600 cafes across the state Wednesday afternoon.
One internet café owner says the vote wasn't fair.
"We're all going to be on unemployment. We're all going to be looking for food stamps. That's not what we want," Jimmy Brisson said. Brisson owns Cyber World Internet Café in Grove City.
Lawmakers debated closing sweepstakes gambling establishments for months.
On Wednesday, the Ohio House voted to ban it. The measure now goes before Ohio Governor John Kasich. He is expected to sign it.
"These things have been here for five or six years. There's never been any issue. Big money casinos come in town and we're a nuisance and that's a shame," Brisson said.
Lawmakers argued the new casinos did not play a role in banning internet cafes.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said internet cafes have become a haven for crime. DeWine released a statement that said, "I applaud the actions of both chambers of the General Assembly to make clear the distinction between legitimate sweepstakes and the illegal gambling taking place at internet cafes across Ohio. This clarity will make it easier for local law enforcement to enforce Ohio law."
"I've worked in several states and I've never been at a café where that is going on," Brisson said, "The ones that are doing the bad things, they need to be shut down."
Brisson wished the state would regulate internet cafes instead of shutting them down. He also suggested putting the measure up for a vote for all Ohioans to vote on instead.
"Come in and regulate us. Put us up for a vote by the people and just give us that chance. Let the people decide."
Brisson plans to fight the legislation.
