In the last weekend of May, more than a hundred people convened in a downtown San Francisco co-working space to create tech-based solutions to the biggest pain points they've experienced.
That might sound like any other weekend in Silicon Valley, but this was no ordinary hackathon. This one focused on Immigration, which is deeply embedded in the fabric of Silicon Valley and yet doesn't receive anywhere near the attention it deserves. After all, 25% of high tech companies founded between 1995 and 2005 had at least one immigrant founder, and 40% of Fortune 500 companies were founded by 1st or 2nd generation immigrants. This despite immigrants making up only about 10% of the US population.
Thanks to the headline-dominating successes of startups like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Uber, Silicon Valley has been flooded with new entrepreneurial tech talent from all over the world looking to change the way we share photos, send messages, and transport stuff from point A to point B. As a result, these types of problems are well on their way to being 100% solved.
On the other hand, there are many more problems on the opposite end of the spectrum that are much closer to being 0% solved, and Immigration is one of them. It's no secret that the "user experience" of immigration is painfully broken. There are several noteworthy tech startups who are trying to do something about it, and organizations like the Mark Zuckerberg-led lobbying group FWD.us have done a lot of work on the political front trying to get comprehensive immigration reform passed through Congress. However, even as a FWD.us member, I always felt like there was more that could be done. Pushing for policy change is important, but it's anyone's guess as to when that will happen — it might happen in the next 2 years or the next 20, and in the meantime we should also be thinking of ways to make all aspects of the immigration experience better with the tools we have at hand.
Not only that, Silicon Valley is notoriously apathetic about politics, so we figured the best way to get techies interested in a cause like Immigration isn't to turn them into activists, but rather to take something they love — being creative and building stuff — and direct it towards a larger goal.
Startup Weekend Immigration was our first attempt at doing that. Our goal was to begin building a community of social-minded tech folks who actually care about this issue and want to use their powers for good.
What happened?
On May 29-31, we gathered together a hundred passionate technologists who wanted to spend an entire weekend hacking immigration.
We had participants who had driven and even flown in from as far away as Los Angeles, New York, and Miami for the unique opportunity to incubate their immigration startup idea over the weekend. They were aided by an all-star lineup of speakers, mentors, and judges representing the biggest movers and shakers in the "immigration tech" space. That included domain expert founders, investors, legal experts, and immigrant community leaders.
Friday May 29
Following a kickoff speaking panel about how the system became so broken and what to expect in the next few years from a political and macroeconomic standpoint, we got down to business. Nearly 30 different participants pitched ideas, which were voted on by the 150+ people in attendance and narrowed down to a shortlist of 15 or so. Participants formed teams around the remaining ideas and prepared for the weekend.
Saturday May 30
If Friday's speaker panel was a "macro" look at immigration, Saturday morning's was much more "micro". We zoomed in on the personal stories of successful immigrant founders including Laks Srini, Co-founder & CTO of Zenefits; Tri Tran, Co-founder & CEO of Munchery; and Silver Keskküla, Co-founder of Teleport.
In the afternoon, we brought in a bevy of domain expert mentors to advise teams on product development, design, legal issues, and customer development to make their idea a reality.
Sunday May 31
Sunday was the moment of truth — Pitching time! Given how little "creative attention" immigration receives, I was excited to see what a small army of passionate hackers, designers, and business & policy experts could come up with. How could the latest tools and technology trends be utilized for good?
One of my worries going in to the event was that too many teams would work on ideas involving automating immigration application processes. A lot of companies are already doing great work in that area, including those who were at the event like FileRight, Clearpath, Bridge US, and Teleborder. Not only that, there are so many other neglected areas of immigration that need creative problem-solving, which we outlined in another Medium post titled Immigration Startup Ideas.
In that sense, I was pleasantly surprised by the winning teams selected by our impressive judging panel, which was made up of 2 domain expert founders in Romish Badani of Bridge US and James Richards of Teleborder, 2 investors in Edith Yeung of 500 Startups Mobile Collective and Nitin Pachisia of Unshackled, and 1 journalist in Dan Raile of PandoDaily.
Who won?
Teams were evaluated based on the following 3 equally-weighted criteria: Customer Validation (1/3), Product Execution & Design (1/3), and Business Model Validation (1/3). A total of 12 teams ended up pitching on Sunday, and these were the winners.
1st Place
Settled is your personal assistant for complex admin processes when settling abroad.
Settled operates under the premise that getting a visa is only the beginning of an immigrant's journey. After that, there are all kinds of strange and unfamiliar processes they have to go through like getting a driver's license, filing taxes, opening a bank account, getting a social security card, building credit, etc. Many of these are dreaded even by native-born Americans who are fluent in English, so you can imagine how daunting it must be for someone who isn't fluent. Settled built a one-stop user-friendly interface for these different processes so that immigrants can be more productive with their team and focus on the things that matter.
Winning team members: Mary Pratt, Pulkit Agrawal, Lyndall Schreiner, Stephen Bunch, Gaurav Vohra, Ben Romano, Joseph Wheeler

2nd Place
Estrella helps you find free or low-cost immigration help near you.
In Silicon Valley, it's too easy to conflate "immigrants" with highly-educated, English-speaking foreigners looking to work at Google/Apple/Facebook or start their own company. In fact, the vast majority of immigrants coming to the US do so because they don't see a viable future for themselves in their home country, and they're willing to throw away everything they know for even a sliver of a chance at a better life.
These are the immigrants who are most vulnerable to fraud and the most sensitive to the high fees and costs of immigration, which is where Estrella ("star" in Spanish) comes in.
3rd Place
WindowSill is a platform for immigrant home-bakers to earn money selling baked goods, made from recipes from their home country
One of the harsh realities of immigration is that even highly skilled immigrants who used to be doctors or lawyers in their home country are often forced to give up their profession in their new country due to differing qualification systems.
WindowSill's goal was to empower immigrants by allowing them to monetize their more transferable skills, like baking. (Why baking? Legally, it's easier and requires less licensing than general cooking.) With WindowSill, immigrants can use their home kitchen and recipes from their home country to make money making and selling delicious baked goods.
The judges' Honorable Mention pick CarePath also had a similar idea in mind. CarePath is a marketplace for immigrant care providers to connect with senior citizens in need of care.
Neither of these two ideas are strictly speaking "immigration startups", but what's great is that they are general platforms that just happen to provide the most value for immigrants. Statistically, most caregivers in the US today are in fact immigrants, and everyone loves trying exotic new foods.

Crowd Favorite
Greender is "Tinder for Green Card Seekers"
Greender was a fun idea which tapped into a well-known grey area in immigration law. Getting married to a US citizen with the sole intent of obtaining a green card is a criminal act (fraud), but of course millions of legitimate, loving marriages happen between US citizens and immigrants as well. If that's the case, why not "reduce the friction" (as they love to say in Silicon valley) and make it easier to make those legitimate matches happen?
Unlike the well-known H-1B working visa which is capped each year at a mere 85,000 visas (roughly 1/4 of the number of applicants), there is no cap for Green Cards Through Marriage and it has long been seen as the "last resort" for immigrants who can't get a visa otherwise. Greender might seem like an idea that's straight out of The Onion, but it also serves as an interesting social commentary on the arbitrary nature of US government's quotas for working visas and the lopsided competition for them that results.
Check out Greender's presentation slides
Here's a full list of all the teams that pitched, along with their prototypes and presentation slides.
So was the event a success?
Our primary goals going into this event were threefold:
- UNIFY the fragmented immigration+tech community
- EDUCATE attendees on how/why the US immigration system became so broken, and make them aware of the most problematic and neglected areas of immigration that need attention
- BUILD meaningful new solutions utilizing creative legal/regulatory hacks and the latest tech, and open attendees' minds to what is possible
Leading up to the event, I was mentally prepared to consider this nothing more than a fun, one-and-done thing if the reception to it was lukewarm. Events like this take a LOT of time and energy to put together, and it's just not worth the months of planning and execution if there isn't a deeper purpose driving your efforts.
Based on all the in-person and anonymous feedback we received though, I think we've tapped into something special.
We started from nothing in organizing this event. We were a team of 8 volunteers who had never met each other before, and we didn't have any personal connections in this space. But after hundreds of cold emails (thanks Thrust.io!) and months of nose-to-the-grindstone hustling, we were able to successfully find amazing sponsors like Brad Feld who we had never met before (and still haven't) but who cared enough about this issue to back our event, sight unseen. The leaders of immigration tech pioneers like FileRight and Clearpath found out about our event and took the time to fly in from Las Vegas and Miami, respectively, to come in and mentor the next generation of immigration startup founders. And best of all, I know for a fact that several of the teams are continuing to work on what they started at the event.
It was a magical weekend in a lot of ways, and if you ask me, if just a single participant or team from this event ends up making a major impact in immigration in the next few years (that they might not have otherwise), I'll consider this event to have been a success. Only time will tell if that will happen, but in the meantime, I'm more than happy to continue nurturing the sapling of a community that we saw sprout that weekend.
Looking forward
It's always confused me why there aren't more people aren't working on a problem space like Immigration. After all, it's a huge market full of pain points and inefficiencies which affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide. And unlike the many other communities that are underrepresented in Silicon Valley, immigrants are actually overrepresented here.
So why aren't more people trying to solve it?
This seeming incongruity made me realize that there are two kinds of startup ideas in the world: (1) Those that are inevitable and natural, and (2) Those that need to be forcibly brought into the world kicking and screaming.
Twitter is the classic example of an idea that was inevitable and natural. If Evan Williams and Jack Dorsey hadn't built the first character-constrained online social networking service, someone else most definitely would have.
On the other hand, without the Herculean efforts of Elon Musk and his co-workers at Tesla Motors, we might still be wondering when electric cars will become a reality. Don't believe me? In 2009, General Motors' then-Vice Chairman was quoted as saying:
"All the geniuses here at General Motors kept saying lithium-ion technology is 10 years away, and Toyota agreed with us — and boom, along comes Tesla. So I said, 'How come some tiny little California startup, run by guys who know nothing about the car business, can do this, and we can't?' That was the crowbar that helped break up the log jam."
The world needs more "kicking and screaming" ideas. Companies like Tesla and Stripe have reminded us that it's possible for inexperienced outsiders to tackle a space with fraught with pessimism, regulations, legal liability, and hostile incumbents, and still come out on top.
So why aren't more people trying to solve other real-world problems?
The tech media has fooled us into believing that young billionaire startup founders are demigods with superhuman abilities. But watch interviews with Mark Zuckerberg in the earliest days of Facebook, and you'll see someone who didn't have all the answers and had no idea how big Facebook could become. He isn't a demigod. He's a "mere mortal" just like you and me who happens to be smart, dedicated, and a fast learner able to figure things out along the way.
And that's all it takes to change the world.
Silicon Valley has become obsessed with money and mythology, but you don't have to be. Somewhere out there is a real-world problem that needs you to solve it. You might not make billions of dollars doing so, but you could get something even better — The satisfaction of knowing you changed the fates of millions of real people's lives for the better. How many unicorn startups can say that about themselves with a straight face?
There is a better future out there, but it won't happen on its own and we can't wait around for a superhero to make it for us.
It's up to you and me to create it, and the time to do so is now.
We plan on organizing another, even better immigration hackathon soon. In fact, we're planning on making this an annual or even twice-a-year thing. Whatever it takes for immigration innovation to truly take flight. If you'd like to learn more, follow "HackImmigration" on Facebook and Twitter for future updates. Thanks for reading 🙂

Don't Just Watch Killjoys, Play It!
June 19, 2015
Today is the big day for Space's all-new series, Killjoys, which launches into your stratosphere (and, I guess, television) tonight at 9ep.
Created by showrunner Michelle Lovretta and produced by Temple Street Productions, Killjoys follows a trio of reclamation agents as they chase deadly warrants throughout the Quad, a distant planetary system on the brink of a bloody, class war.
If that sounds like your cup of tea, there's no better way to get in the Killjoys spirit than by playing the Killjoys game, in which players collect "joy" by completing warrants. There's only two rules: 1) don't die 2) the warrant is all.
Playing the game is as simple as tapping your keyboard and swiping your mouse. Game on!

The Nixon Trump Interview
Nixon and Trump sat down together. This is how the event unfolded.
Nixon: "Before we get started, I must tell you, that 'as we speak' a Marine Corp lieutenant is in a firefight with the enemy in Vietnam. He is going to lose some men, and he is going to pledge to those men that he will fight for his country and the men he lost until his dying breath. That was forty-five years ago, your time. Now, the first question. To address your concerns, 'Is the other side bugging us?'"
Trump: 'That's what I have been saying. The very words that I speak are reported so quickly to the press. The leaks are the problem. I brought my own staff in. My own security, I don't need the government to protect me. I can afford my own protection."
Nixon: You can thank the Bush administration for your leaks. The NSA records every word that every American utters. There are banks of Super Computers that run day and night recording all that is said. They don't have to listen in. When they want something on somebody, they can isolate those people from the hum and distill their every spoken thought."
Trump: "How is one supposed to run a country and an International corporation under such circumstances? There is confidential information to be passed through channels. I have many employees and my employees love me by the way."
Nixon: "I was worried about how history would view me. So, as you know, I taped the conversations in the White House. I spent the last year of my Presidency defending myself against what was heard on those tapes. The people forget we are just humans trying the best we can to enrich ourselves at the expense of others. Now, I have another question. Why did you bring your family into this?"
Trump: "It is a question of loyalty. I wanted people who pledged themselves to me above all others. People that are super rich like me that never experienced want or even work for that matter. I wanted people without empathy around me. What the people of this country needs is a good dose of humility."
Nixon adjusted the jacket of his suit.
Nixon: "Had you studied just a bit of history, you would know that many of my White House aides, went to jail for their parts in my political scandal. By the time it was over my Chief White House counsel was jailed along with the Attorney General. Even my Security Director was thrown in jail. Many careers of splendid people were ruined. Though one did become a best selling author. Are you prepared to have your children implicated and face possible imprisonment?"
Trump: "I made promises. Many promises. And it is my duty to the people who supported me, no matter what country they come from to keep those promises. This is my dynasty, my time, I am building my place in history. I can stonewall this until the fury dies down. Once I am back to my agenda to commercialize every aspect of life, me and my billionaire friends around the world will have won. Besides, I plan to sign pardons and have them on file."
Nixon: "You will find that there are people around you, mortally wounding you. The closer the dogs snap at your heals, the more vulnerable you become to deceit and guile."
Trump: "I have offered clemency in advance for those closest to me. They are completely loyal. Everyone of them is willing to take a spear for me."
Nixon: "I thought that. When the noose begins to tighten people begin to question their loyalties."
Trump: "I fired the head of the F.B.I. that should have made the snooping into my business stop. The fake press howled like I stepped on their bare toes. All the talk about the constitution is just so much blather. People without power and money are always talking about the constitution, like it was the only document that mattered. Besides my motives were not corrupt. Of course I told the people I financed my campaign. But it cost so much money. When the offer came for funds for TV time purchased from the Left Liberal Media, you think they give that time away; of course I took it. Many others also took funds from our 'like thinking brethren' – of course we did."
Nixon: "Once arrested men are likely to say anything. You must be aware of that. A prison cell is a long way from the penthouse or the Hamptons."
Trump: "Should I start asking for resignations? There is some low hanging fruit, that are doing a bad job. I can bring in fresh faces. What do you think?"
Nixon: "Many of my staff resigned, that was the least of their sacrifices and they were tried and sent to prison because of the cover up. Not the crime mind you the cover up."
Trump: "I have hired a team of lawyers, they will begin coaching all those involved and likely brought in front of a grand jury. I don't think any of them know enough on their own. Monies were moved quietly through back channels. Much of it spent directly from accounts at the RNC. Maybe I can keep the damages low and the prosecutors at arm's length."
Nixon: "I floated many modified, limited versions of the truth. Once these dogs of hell are unleashed it is much easier to make a misstep or fall from grace. You might try cutting your losses. Butcher your team, throw some fresh meat to slow down the hounds."
Trump: "Sometimes I pray I won't wake up in the mornings."
Nixon: "I know the feeling. You are not alone in those prayers. But we awaken and we face the music."
Trump: "All my beautiful subterranean agenda is in jeopardy. I am caught up in all these nonsensical legalisms."
Nixon: "You will see that in the end your deepest wounds will come from letting your friends, your government and the youth of this nation down."
Trump: "I won. Why can't I just enjoy my victory?"
Nixon: "One last thing. I went back to San Clemente and wore a cloak of disgrace for the rest of my life. Pat stopped talking to me. San Clemente became my mausoleum. Not even Kissinger called to see how I was doing. Before you leave the White House make sure you have a signed pardon in your breast pocket. Start negotiating that right now."
I hope you enjoyed my parody of a fictionalized interview between two presidents.
The video, Green Day - American Idiot [OFFICIAL VIDEO] came with a recommendation. It is pretty awful music. 79 million people have stopped by to view this video on Youtube. You rock and roll lovers are not going to enjoy it. I could not bring myself to feature it.

After dancing with Elvis, I feel renewed energy! Oh, I forgot, I loved this interview. I wish it would all go away, and we could return to the sane time when Obama smiled and told us things were looking up, and we believed him!!!!! Now, I'm looking forward to George W and a Trump interview?
Ohooo Mike, I know next to nothing about writing a bio, but if you have some helpful hints I will sure give it a shot!
Blessings as always
Great Mike, I can hear Nixon saying those things and trump agonizing over who could have leaked information, and the pot thickens as his favorite son-in-law rolls over on him.
Blessings as usual
With all the stuff and nonsense in Trump's head I wouldn't be surprised if he really got an interview with Nixon in spirit of course. Great imagination here.
Your wit and writing skill continues to amaze me.
I can only hope that 79 million people were not mistaken when they made a choice between the candidates available on the ballot. I pray for our leaders as they certainly need all the help they can get.
Hi Mike...
Nixon to Frost during interview: "When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal."
These two fellows were/are so much on the same page of history/persona in certain ways which you have captured so well. The irony is that now Trump has traversed into far more dangerous territory because of the way he has reacted to and is handling the Russian investigation. He has no one else to blame but himself. (Talk about a fait accompli.) I don't know why certain individuals are surprised. Donald Trump is just being Donald Trump. What did they think was going to happen? In my naiveté, I'm still hoping for an epiphany or miracle.
Happy weekend, everyone
I am slow as summer in commenting and this gave me a great excuse to re-read and check out the comments, which are interesting in and of themselves.
OK, I am in the majority, along with John, in liking American Idiot - for the 'record', the song...not a reasonable facsimile.
Your muse will not be caged. Brava - I can hardly wait to see what comes next.
Hoping you have a peaceful weekend. Hugs, mar
Great interview, Mike. Sorry, you didn't think American Idiot was appropriate to feature but I know it is very different to the type of music you like. It is however a very popular and controversial song. Are those Alfred Hitchcock silhouettes with hair drawn on to represent Nixon and Trump :)?
I would pay good money to watch those two sit down and chat. It would beat the hell out of any reality tv now on the boob tube. :) It appears the nightmare is beginning to unravel. Let's hope so.
This got me smiling but the worry is still there. It's the truth of it all that makes me wonder what will happen. Hope reigns supreme! Ever the optimist.

At the law firm of Christopher E. Mohney, Esquire, in DuBois, Pennsylvania, our goal is to protect people from the short- and long-term consequences of criminal charges. The following are examples of the types of cases we handle:
- Expungements: Past mistakes that happened years ago can haunt a person who is trying to obtain employment, admission to school, or in a host of other circumstances. Some criminal convictions are eligible to be expunged, or removed from a criminal history, upon proper application to a court of competent jurisdiction. Pennsylvania now also permits certain low-grade misdemeanor records to be placed under seal.
- DUI: The consequences of a drunk driving arrest are very serious in Pennsylvania. You may face incarceration, loss of your driver's license for a period of time, substantial fines, and higher insurance rates. Your employment may even be at risk.
- Drug crimes: If you are a college student, a drug conviction may cause you to lose eligibility for student loans. A drug conviction will cause you to lose your driver's license for a period of time, and have other potential collateral consequences depending on your specific life situation.
- Weapons offenses: Many gun crimes carry mandatory jail terms in Pennsylvania.
- Game violations: Hunting violations such as poaching and trespassing can have serious consequences in Pennsylvania.
- Theft, robbery and burglary: Theft-related crimes are crimes of dishonesty. Since employers routinely conduct background checks of prospective employees, a theft conviction can make it difficult to find a job in the future.
- Assault and aggravated assault charges: No one would want a conviction for assault on his or her permanent record. However, that is exactly what can happen if you are charged with an assault charge following a bar fight or other altercation.
When you hire me, your case will be handled from the beginning to end by me. I will work to protect your rights at every stage of your case.
Contact DuBois Criminal Defense Lawyer Christopher E. Mohney
If you've been charged with a crime, make your next decision the right one: contact Clearfield County criminal law attorney Christopher E. Mohney at 814-375-1044. Evening and weekend appointments are available.


text: BUSINESS Judge rules Fantom plagiarized 'Final Fantasy' 4:00 AM PST 12/8/2007 by Mark Russell , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty SEOUL -- A music video created by Korea's Fantom Entertainment Group was found by a Seoul court Friday to have plagiarized the best-selling Japanese video game "Final Fantasy 7" from game maker Square Enix. Fantom, a leading Korean media company in talent management and film, television and music production, "illegally used 80% of the storyline, setting, characters and their styles of dress and their demeanors from the Japanese video game 'Final Fantasy 7,' " judge Gu Hoe-geun the Seoul Central District Court ruled.Square Enix says its "Final Fantasy" video game franchise is among the most popular in the world, having sold more than 75 million copies since its inception in 1987.The court fined Fantom Entertainment 10 million won ($10,900), and slapped penalties of an additional 6 million won ($6,500) each on Lee Han-woo, director of Fantom, and Hong Jeong-ho, the director of the music video."This judgment by the Seoul Central District Court is stringent in comparison to other copyright infringement cases in South Korea, and we appreciate that the maliciousness of this infringement has been recognized in a public forum," Yasuhiko Hasegawa, General Counsel for Square Enix, the maker of the "Final Fantasy" series, said. "Square Enix will continue to take decisive action against any infringements upon the company's intellectual property, recognizing that this property is one of our most crucial resources."Square Enix filed its criminal complaint March 20 after seeing a music video for "Temptation Sonata," by the popular singer Ivy, who is managed by Fantom. The Ivy video strongly echoed a Square Enix animated short derived the "Final Fantasy 7" video game called "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children." "This was a good case," said Brendon Carr, an American lawyer based in Seoul. "Foreign copyright holders get worn out making complaints that are usually never investigated. Other Korean entertainers and entertainment companies will need to think more what they do in the future."A civil suit against Fantom and Hong Jeong-ho seeking damages and other remedies is still under consideration by the court.

A September Pew Research Heart poll has reinvigorated the years-outdated debate over how mainstream information media outlets cowl science. By far, the two best sources of science news (besides ACSH and RealClearScience, in fact!) are Nature and Science, each of which have news sections aimed toward most people. SNS is a program of the Society for Science & the Public (SSP), a nonprofit 501(c)(3) membership organization dedicated to public engagement in scientific analysis and education.
The route to belief is thru higher communication, together with growing engagement and dialogue between the science communities and civil society — a process during which the popular media have a important half to play. Further, the survey finds viewers of science-related entertainment imagine that these movies and exhibits present, on the whole, a optimistic impression of working in science, technology and medication.
1 A 54{7af8284bd6fc68944e07bdf44e6716fad6c55434d68f0a452c4ee197ebef4c56} majority of Individuals often get their science information from general sources, higher than any of the 10 supply varieties asked about within the survey. GM crops stayed within the headlines for the subsequent two years, and some sections of the British press actively campaigned against them.
Where your analysis has implications for life-style adjustments or public policy, be notably cautious how you describe it. It's right here that the utmost potential for distortion can come up. A press officer, however, might have little experience in a particular space of science or, indeed, in science in any respect.
What was hardly ever talked about in these media articles, though, was that the analysis had not been revealed in any educational journal. Social media, while outstanding as a common information source, appear to play a modest function in informing People about science.

Black Books was a Channel 4 sitcom created by Irishmen – stand up Dylan Moran and writer Graham Linehan. It was broadcast from 2000 to 2004 and you can view series 1 outtakes below.
Starring Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig, the series is set in a London bookshop and follows the lives of its owner Bernard Black (Moran), his assistant Manny Bianco (Bill Bailey) and their friend Fran Katzenjammer (Tamsin Greig).
So what's it all about you ask? Bernard Black is the proprietor of Black Books, a small bookshop. The series revolves around the lives of Bernard, Manny and Fran. A central theme is Bernard's odd position as a moody and spiteful shopkeeper who has a loathing of the outside world and all the people who inhabit it, except his oldest friend, Fran, who initially ran a trendy bric-a-brac shop, Nifty Gifty, next-door to the shop.
Bernard displays little enthusiasm or interest in retail (or, indeed, anything outside drinking, smoking and reading) and actively avoids having to interact with anyone, even inside his shop, as he has a personal dislike of his customers, treating his bookshop more like a personal library. It is suggested that Fran and Bernard once slept together, but now they remain happy to be friends, sharing a love of smoking heavily and drinking to excess. Fran otherwise has a rather hopeless love life.
Manny is introduced in the first episode as a stressed-out accountant who enters the bookshop seeking The Little Book of Calm. During a drunken night out, Bernard offers him a job as a shop assistant and a room above the shop if he will do Bernard's accounts for him. Sobering up, Bernard realises Manny's optimistic nature is not suited to "this kind of operation". Fran, however, seeing that Manny is good for Bernard, forces Bernard to let him stay.
The debut episode premiered on 29 September 2000 and three seasons followed, with the final episode airing on 15 April 2004. A critical success, winning a number of awards, including two BAFTA awards for Best Situation Comedy in 2001 and 2005 and a Bronze Rose at the Festival Rose d'Or.
And Bill Bailey fans can catch him live at The Olympia Theatre in Dublin for a week long run starting on September 12th. More info in our gig guide.

♠ Posted by Mick Rooney in Aviation News,Malaysia Airlines,MH17 at Tuesday, March 31, 2015
The JIT (Joint Investigation Team) examining the cause of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 has released a video asking for witnesses in the area of eastern Ukraine to come forward with information in relation to the transport of a BUK anti-aircraft system through Ukraine on July 17th and 18th of 2014.
The video provides some new information potentially implicating Russia and rebel separatists with a series of newly released intercepted phone calls which occurred after the downing of MH17. The JIT has also revealed that it managed to identify and seize a Volvo low-load
er truck used to transport a BUK missile launcher system between July 16th and 18th, 2014.
The English translation provided in the video, while generally accurate, does use the word 'car' but the Russian word used is actually 'машина' or 'mashina' which means machine or heavy vehicle.
You can find the original press release (in Russian) on the JIT's website.

Bouvet Island
BOUVET ISLAND, a territory of NORWAY, is known as one of the peri-Antarctic islands, small uninhabited rocks and volcanic islands that circle the frozen continent. It was discovered by Jean-Baptiste Charles Bouvet de Lozier, a lieutenant in the French East Indies Company, on New Year's Day, 1739, but not found again until nearly a century later. Located at one of the most remote spots on the globe, it has rarely been visited and little is known about its landscape. It has been administered by Norway since 1928, which designated it a nature reserve in 1971. Norway also maintains an automated meteorological station.
The island is located about 1,800 mi (2,900 km) north of ANTARCTICA. The island is volcanic and forms the southern terminus of the submarine Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Three volcanic peaks rim an ice-filled plateau (the Wilhelm II Plateau), which is the collapsed center of an older volcano.
It was claimed by Britain in 1825 and renamed Liverpool Island. Whalers and seal hunters visited its waters, but this was never a huge industry since the island lies within the Antarctic convergence zone (unlike other islands of the South Atlantic or South Indian oceans) and is therefore trapped by sea ice for much of the year. Since the 1970s, there has been little human activity, with the exception of a mysterious nuclear bomb test to the northeast in 1979, which remains unclaimed (suspicions fell on South Africa).

Abstract: We propose and demonstrate a long-range Brillouin Optical Time-Domain Analysis (BOTDA) distributed sensing system making use of an unbalanced double sideband probe formed by a Stokes and an anti-Stokes line. In particular, we show that for each measuring condition an optimal Stokes /anti-Stokes input power ratio exists, allowing a larger suppression of nonlocal effects induced by pump depletion. Experiments on a 50 km single-mode sensing fiber with 5 meters spatial resolution are reported.

The Medications Technician administers medications to reverse the anesthesia and control pain, applies parasite control, administers fluids when ordered, removes all instruments (hemostat, neuter clip) and monitors the cats for bleeding. This position requires a rabies vaccination.
Safety First
- Monitor the cat for complications resulting from the anesthesia, in particular, irregular breathing or not breathing.
- Respiration should be >6/minute, heartbeat should be >100/minute, and gum color should be pink. If the cat is not breathing well, or its gums are blue, take the cat immediately to the Emergency CPR Station. Speaking loudly and calmly say "cat not breathing" to alert vets to converge at the Emergency CPR Station.Note: Xylazine causes pale gums.
- Dispose of all needles and syringes according to protocol with no exceptions. Do not recap the needles. Place the needle/syringe combination into a sharps disposal container. The needle cap can be disposed of in garbage or the sharps container.
Special Handling
- When transporting, do not hold the cat from the scruff of its neck alone. Always support its back and bottom too. Support the cat's head without flexing its neck, so that the airway remains straight and open.
- Keep the cat entirely on its fleece, including its tail, head and all of its feet. Do not allow any part of the cat's body to contact clothing, skin or anything except the fleece, in order to prevent any contamination from cat to cat.
Station Alert
- Medications Technicians work most efficiently in pairs with one technician positioning the cat and the other injecting the anesthesia reversal.
- Cats tagged with URI or other infectious conditions are medicated after all of the healthy cats have been processed. As the clinic winds down, one table is reserved to medicate these cats. Do not place healthy cats on this table after an infectious cat has been treated. Change gloves after handling any contagious cat. The selected table will need to be labeled with a yellow URI sign.
- If the cat has been identified as infectious/URI, was not separated, and is being processed amidst non-infectious cats, then the medications should be administered at the surgery tableand the cat taken directly to the Clinic Records Station.
Medications Technician Instructions
Prepare multiple doses of the medications at the start of the clinic, and separate the cat and kitten doses into separate trays:
- For yohimbine (reversal): (0.1 mg/kg)
– 0.25 ml for adult cats.
– 0.15 ml for kittens.
– Dose should be volume equal to TKX volume administered, so some unique doses are drawn up as necessary.
- For buprenorphine (pain medication ): (0.01 mg/kg)
– 0.1 ml (0.03 mg) for adult cats.
– 0.05 ml (0.015 mg) for kittens.
- For yohimbine (reversal): (0.1 mg/kg)
Compare the Paw Tag and the Medical Record to be sure the ID# matches.
Confirm that any special care noted on the "Medical Alert" tags has been completed and remove all alert tags from the cat. Do not remove the Paw Tag.
Check area where the ear was tipped. DO NOT remove dried blood from the ear tip edge! This will instigate bleeding.
Remove tape from ventral abdomen, if present.
Administer yohimbine intravenously to reverse anesthesia (xylazine). The volume of yohimbine should equal the volume of TKX administered in anesthesia. Inject the yohimbine in the right rear leg. If the cat is too awake to easily and safely inject IV, give the yohimbine subcutaneously instead.
Administer the buprenorphine pain medication on the gums as directed.
Administer topical parasite control to the skin or at the base of skull by first referring to the cat's weight recorded on the Veterinary Exam Form. We currently use Advantage Multi®:
- Use 1 vial of 0.8 ml for adult cats approximately 9 lbs or greater.
- Use 1 vial of 0.4 ml for smaller cats between 5 and 9 lbs.
- Draw up 0.23 ml for kittens and cats under 5 lbs.
- Advantage Multi® is toxic if ingested or overdosed. Make sure the dosage is accurate and applied where the cat cannot lick it.
Administer fluids as ordered by a veterinarian. The volume should be written on the Medical Record. Liter bags of fluids, drip sets, and 18 gauge needles are available:
- Use a new needle for each cat to avoid transmitting any blood-borne diseases.
- Use a new drip set if blood backs up into the line.
- Use a new drip set for each bag of fluids.
Dispose of all needles and syringes according to protocol with no exceptions. Do not recap the needles.
Clean any blood, urine or feces from the cat's fur with peroxide, and clean inside the ears, if necessary.
Transfer the cat to the Clinic Records Station.
If the cat is slow to wake up, the Recovery Monitor may request a second dose of yohimbine. Administer a supplemental dose of yohimbine (0.3 ml IM or IV for adult cats) to further reverse the effects of anesthesia. Record on the Medical Record at the Clinic Records Station.
Complete the Medical Record:
- Record the dose and time of each dose of buprenorphine in the Analgesia section, and initial each entry. Use a leading zero in all dosages; for example, "0.1", and not " .1".
- Record the dose and time of each application of topical parasite control (e.g., Advantage Multi® or Revolution®) in the Parasiticide section and initial each entry.
- Record the amount of lactated ringers or other fluids given as instructed by the DVM in the Fluids section and initial each entry.
- Record the dose and time of each injection of yohimbine in the Reversal section and initial each entry.
Maintain the medications area throughout the clinic:
- Take care to keep the area clean and free of medical waste, used instruments, dirty towels and other disposables.
- Deliver any uncollected used instruments to the Instruments Station when the clinic is concluded.
All Station Images
Station Closing and Cleanup
When the clinic is concluded:
- Inventory the remaining supplies and repack the supply kit.
- Return the kit, station instructions and any remaining items to storage.
- Clean the area and dispose of all trash.
- Wash all tables, including the central trough, and wipe down entire base of table.
- Remove tape from the underside of the table.
- Wipe as much of the overhead surgery lamp as can be reached.

Clear your mind and start looking for projects that will stretch you to the fullest. Blockage will move soon and money will start flowing.

Those looking out Houston Criminal Defense Lawyers are rapidly convinced that Houston's Andy Nolen is the best. Having a felony lawyer who is Board Certified as an skilled in criminal law makes all of the distinction in your defense. For instance, many are charged with criminal trespassing or burglary because they had been found sleeping in a building, Ms. Keliher said. Public defenders work with town and county prosecutors to resolve every case as rapidly as attainable. Fighting for the perfect result typically requires hiring an lawyer as early in the process as possible before recollections fade and favorable proof is misplaced. The law practice of James Sullivan is devoted solely to prison and juvenile protection.
Criminal defense legal professionals in the United States who're employed by governmental entities reminiscent of counties, state governments, and the federal authorities are often referred to as public defenders or courtroom-appointed attorneys. If you're being sentenced in state courtroom, you'll want to seek the advice of the laws of your particular state, and naturally you will also want to coordinate any letter-writing marketing campaign with your legal professional. As a former District Attorney in Santa Clara County, he understands the ins and outs of the justice system.
Many potential employees discover their hiring course of is held up by similar names or shut matches in a prison record search. The most important thing is that this: NEVER plead guilty to any shoplifting or larceny charge with out talking with a qualified, skilled criminal protection lawyer. Attorney Jason Stern has been training felony legislation and representing defendants in New York for 15 years, throughout which period he has additionally served each New York City and New York State as an Impartial Hearing Officer, Administrative Law Judge and Small Claims Arbitrator. Look for forums and overview websites which can be associated to Las Vegas prison protection lawyers.
It's always superb and an excellent reward when you are able to work out a fantastic deal for a shopper you thought was buried as a result of you did not have a defense. If public urination is your jurisdiction is handled as a misdemeanor, then I would extremely encourage you to hire a lawyer or lawyer. Also in 2015 the Million Dollar Advocates Forum honored Attorney Kornberg with the Million Dollar Advocate Award. A easy rule of thumb in prison legislation is to get paid up entrance earlier than you enter your look in the case.

Reviewer MrYorkiesWorld has been there many times and now takes a look at the version for FSX and Prepar3D published by Aerosoft. In FSDG Rhodes you'll find the island's two airports in great detail, along with the rest of the island. "A big win" was the review verdict.

For this month, the challenge is to find a tropical location that is both an air and naval base. How are your geography skills?

In this article Paul Mort helps to clear up the confusion by offering definitions of a wide range of sim and flight lingo. Take a look and see how much you know. Confused by a term that's not included? Leave a comment with your questions.

text: Share: Comments Print March 3, 2014 at 4:52 PM Retirement: 401(k)s a failure Posted by Letters Coordinator Rep. Larry Springer's and Terry Gardiner's guest column in The Seattle Times about the STaRT retirement plan says it all ["How to help small-business workers with a retirement plan," Opinion, Feb. 26]. We need a supplementary retirement system along with Social Security to prevent poverty in retirement years. All 401(k) plans are a total failure. The average amount in a 401(k) at retirement is $78,000 — not at all what you'd call a retirement account. STaRT follows you from job to job and is not subject to the uncertainties, immoralities and fees of Wall Street. Being in the service and entertainment industry most of my life, I could have enjoyed and focused much more on my work knowing I had a supplemental retirement account. A state-run retirement plan can finally cover the 77 percent of the small business employees that today live with the uncertainties of retirement.
