Selecting an EB-5 Attorney
It goes without saying that your lawyer should be responsive, conscientious, intelligent, and honest. But there are at least six other factors to consider before selecting an immigration attorney:
- Experience with
- Experience as an immigration attorney.
- Experience with citizens of your country.
- Does not do legal work for Regional Centers.
- Role in handling your case.
- Time to prepare your case.
Many of the above factors are
EB-5 Experience — There is no substitute for experience. It never ceases to amaze how an individual may choose a lawyer just because he happens to speak their language or because the lawyer is a great "salesman". While language of course is important, it cannot be the primary factor. The most important consideration should be how much experience the lawyer has with the
EB-5program. A bunch of Johnny-come-latelylawyers have jumped on the EB-5bandwagon as EB-5has become popular. But EB-5has been around for over 20 years, and your lawyer should be starkly aware of all the EB-5problems and pitfalls of the 1990s so as to steer you away from them. Questions you should ask include whether your lawyer been recognized by his colleagues as EB-5experts with invitations to speak at conferences? Has he or she been asked to writearticles on EB-5for authoritative publications? How many cases has he personally overseen?
Immigration Law Experience — The same applies to immigration law experience. A
one-dimensionallawyer only handling EB-5cases may not be aware of many nuances relating to immigration law which may impact an EB-5case, for example, the intricacies of what constitutes a material misrepresentation or a crime of moral turpitude. Will failure to indicate a daughter living in the US in a previous visa application form serve as a barrier to EB-5? Will a conviction for a drug (not a controlled substance) be an impediment to EB-5? How will the consul perceive a pop-upmarriage (concluded after the approval of the EB-5petition)? What is the lawyer's track record in resolving delays at the visa issuance stage? How long has he or she been a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association?
Country Experience — This leads to the next factor: experience working with citizens of your home country. If the lawyer has not worked on
EB-5cases on behalf of citizens from your country, he will not have the knowledge of local documentation or laws which may be required to handle your case. EB-5implicates home country tax, financial, banking, real estate, and criminal laws. While the EB-5lawyer need not be a specialist in home country laws, he will need to present information to the USCIS about those laws. For example, is the gift from the uncle to his nephew which served as the basis for the EB-5investment taxable? Are there reporting requirements for the sale of real estate? Are there limitations on wire transfers abroad to invest in EB-5? What about the embassy where the visa interview will take place: does the lawyer have experience with that consular post? With whom will the lawyer contact if there is a problem?
Regional Center Representation — Of course, you want this experience to be channeled towards zealously representing your interests. This is more likely to be done if you retain a lawyer who does not also represent Regional Centers. Why? That lawyer is likely to refer you to his Regional Center clients. Of course, he may say — "well, I know them very well and they are a good Regional Center and there is no conflict of interest", but the reality is, the Regional Center and project may not be so good, and there is a conflict of interest. What happens if USCIS raises a problem issue during your petition process and you wish to get your money back? What if the organizers of the Regional Center do not want to return your money? Or if the managers of the Regional Center project wish to change the terms of the escrow to release the funds to the borrower early, before USCIS makes a decision on your petition? On whose side will your lawyer be on?
The lawyer wants the Regional Center to refer to him clients: many potential investors contact a Regional Center first, with the Regional Center then referring the investor to the lawyer who handled the legal work in creating the Regional Center. Similarly, when a potential investor contacts the lawyer first, the lawyer refers the investor to the Regional Center which he helped to organize. In short, there is an unspoken quid pro quo between the Regional Center and the lawyer: you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. When deciding on a lawyer, the investor should be very aware of this.
This issue of unbiased interests crops up in the context of negotiating a discount of the administrative fee from the Regional Center. Many Regional Centers are willing to negotiate discounts of their administrative fees. But would a lawyer who represents the Regional Center go to bat for the client in helping to obtain a discount of an administrative fee? For example, we recently saved a client $45,000 "administrative fee" because of our policy not to represent Regional Centers nor accept referral fees. So instead of having to put up $545,000, the client only needed to invest the $500,000 minimal sum. Not all Regional Centers will provide such a discount, but with the help of your lawyer, you may qualify.
Lawyer Role in the Case — Also keep in mind that just because the "name partner" signs the legal services agreement with you, that does not mean he will work on your case or be available to discuss your case or questions with you. He may assign it to a paralegal or interpreter or junior lawyer, without his oversight. Your everyday contact will be his paralegal or secretary. Do you really want someone else handling your case?
Case Preparation Time — Finally, the firm may be so big — dealing with dozens of cases on its "conveyor belt" — that it may take 3 months to put together and submit your case. We have had the unfortunate experience of working as
co-counselon an EB-5case with one such firm.
Hopefully, the above overview will help you in selecting a good

We've all been there…you start your day strong with your planner open, fill it with a mile long list of tasks and then you come back to it at the end of the day with only one or two check marks! It's a real thing and I promise it happens to all of us! Maybe you got served a wild curve ball that sent you completely off course, maybe you were over-ambitious (like when your eyes are bigger than your stomach!) or maybe you just got into a slump mid-day and were completely unmotivated by the tasks staring up at you. All of these things can absolutely put the brakes on checking off todo list items and can quickly have you asking why even attempt a todo list if it doesn't help you work your way through your daily tasks?
My first piece of advice, is DON'T give up on your todo list! You just need to figure out how to make your todo list work for YOU rather than the other way around. Secondly: the first key component of a functional todo list is organization! No way around it. Now, I should admit that I was that weird kid who thought organizing was "fun" and would actually beg to organize my mom's spice cabinet, voluntarily organize my room (over and over again), and I have always loved a good color coded anything! When you can organize things, especially your daily tasks, things become more clear, you can prepare and plan accordingly, you can be focused on one thing at a time and you can just enjoy what you're doing in the moment. Organization removes the stress and chaos and allows you to do your best and be your best!
If you just found yourself thinking that all of this sounded good in theory but you still don't know how you could actually maintain organization for day, let alone a week at a time, don't worry! I have a few tips for you! Apply one of them for a few days or go for all five, customize them to work exactly as you need them to, and you will absolutely start to find a system that has you checking off those todo list items one by one!
These are my five tips for Rockin' Your Daily Todo List:
- Find a Planner or Planning System: Let's be honest, I might be a little biased because we actually create daily planners, but I've been using a planner since grade school! Not joking! My first one was from Tuckahoe Elementary School, had a laminated green construction paper cover and it never went untouched for more than a day. Maybe you aren't a paper planner type of person; find an electronic planner/calendar/task manager that you like and will actually use. It might even be something as simple as a Todo List notepad but you need something that you can and will consistently come back to each day that is functional, accessible and useful! If it looks pretty but doesn't function for you, ditch it and try something new!
- Brain Dump: Once you have your todo list catcher in place (i.e. your planner) it's time to just brain dump everything that is floating around in your head. Write. It. Down! All those tasks, big and small, need to get out of your head and down on paper. At this point, don't worry about the order of the tasks because you can never truly organize your todo's without seeing it all. You're bound to forget something and writing it down makes the planning process easier and completing it all doesn't seem nearly as daunting.
- Prioritize: After you brain dump, your first reaction after looking at the list might be to freak out and abort! Hold on strong and stick with it! Your next step is to prioritize. You have to be honest with yourself and recognize that you're not always going to get everything done when you want. Life can get in the way, things can take longer than expected, and there is the unavoidable fact that there is simply never enough time. To combat this, you just need to prioritize what is most important to you, what HAS to get done first, or what is someone else waiting on? You define your priorities and that will help you define the when and the how to get it all done. Big ticket items get put at the top and then put the tasks that could be done tomorrow (if necessary) at the bottom.
- Time Block Your Schedule: I don't do this every single day, but when I am feeling like I am up against a mountain of todo's, I turn to time blocking. Set a start and an end time for each task and work on each task completely uninterrupted. Maybe that means you turn your email off so you aren't even tempted to click on the mailbox the minute it dings or maybe you put your phone in the other room so you don't find yourself scrolling through Instagram (you know you do it…don't worry, I do, too sometimes!). But you take each task and give it a home in your daily schedule. If it doesn't get done within the allotted time, you move on. SO HARD to even think about doing let alone actually doing it but it is so helpful. You might find that you work more efficiently on each task because you know there is a stopping point and it also allows your mind to focus on one thing at a time. You don't have to worry about what else has to get done, because you already have a plan in place. Now, unexpected occurrences might rock that plan, but you always have a home base, a pathway to come back to! We'll talk more specifically about Time Blocking again soon!
- Color Code, Flag, Tape, etc.: I am a personal fan of color-coding my tasks by category: work, school, home, social and workouts. Colored pens are my best friends and it helps me clearly see what I have going on that day based simply on the colors that fill by todo list and schedule. There are lots of options for how you can code your different categories: find your favorite and run with it!
Take these tips and try them out tomorrow. Spend some time organizing the night before or first thing in the morning and just get to work! It might feel a little weird if you're not used to organizing yourself like this and you might feel like some days you can't afford a single distraction or curve ball. But no matter how many items on your todo list or how tight your schedule is, remember that it is always adaptable and so are you! If you go into every day with a plan and if you give your best effort to progress forward, even an inch (i.e. one task), give yourself credit for that!
For now, those are our tips for how to rock your daily todo list!

ALL HIGH ROCKS SPACES ARE DRAMA-FrEE, DRUG-FREE, AND ROMANCE-FREE.
For a deeper understanding of our approach to education and the learning culture we are trying to create, please take a moment to read our Best Practices for High ROcks academy that informs the work we do with all young people.

Raise THINKERS and DOERS. We
- build creative thinking through the arts, math, writing, and science.
- believe that challenges build perseverance, self-worth, ownership of one's choices, and faith.
- praise quality of effort rather than natural ability or outcome.
- push girls to more deeply engage with themselves and the world around them by approaching activism from the ground up, valuing personal experience for its intrinsic value and as an indicator of broader cultural and societal issues.
- create opportunities for girls to practice their best-selves in new environments to build confidence, flexible thinking, and respect for diversity.
Build COMMUNITY. We
- value the strength of an intergenerational network of women.
- honor many girls natural tendency to form groups by creating collaborative groups that support their best-selves, transformations, and learning.
- create "group agreements" to set norms and processes for group problem-solving and interactions (rather outside policing by a top-down authority structure).

Grow a healthy ORGANIZATION. We
- take care of ourselves and each other to keep inspiration, enthusiasm, and engagement authentic.
- involve girls' voices, leadership, and ownership in the direction of our organization by creating a variety of opportunities for input (as paid board consultants, as facility designers, in one-on-one conversations with staff, program evaluations).
- use mid-program and final evaluations to make programming adjustments and inform future efforts.
- create occasions to express our gratitude for each other.
- build a community of leaders with leadership education for all members and leadership opportunities within all levels of the organization.

Ford To Integrate Plug-In Hybrid Technology Into F-Series Super Duty
Ford and Azure Dynamics today announced that the two companies would create a plug-in hybrid heavy duty truck. Using the Ford F-550 as a jumping off point, the two companies will integrate plug-in hybrid technology into first the F-550 in 2013, and then allow the technology to trickle down into the F-450 and F-350 Super Duty trucks.
Ford and Azure Dynamics have teamed up before in the past. In 2009, the two companies paired up to develop the Ford Transit Connect Electric, and managed to get it on the marketplace in just over a year. Before that, Azure and Ford have cooperated to create the Balance Hybrid Electric System for Ford's E-450 commercial cutaway chassis. Ford/Azure E-450 hybrids use Ford's 5.4-liter gas V-8 along with Azure hybrid technology, and are chiefly used as school buses, cargo and step vans. The PHEV F-550 will likely build off that package, but expand the technology's use into other commercial applications.
Ford's agreement with Azure allows Azure's plug-in hybrid technology to initially be integrated into the Ford F-550, which is only available sans bed, as a cab and chassis. While Ford and Azure were mum on what engine their new plug-in hybrid would use, a release mentions, "the agreement also allows Azure to perform hybrid powertrain conversion on other Super Duty platforms, including the F-350 and F-450 models, and spans all engine, frame length and regular production options and configurations."
Essentially, Azure has free reign to pick and choose whatever engine it'd like for the new PHEV Super Duty truck. On the F-550, that leaves the company with the option of going with either Ford's 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbo diesel V-8 or, its 6.8-liter gas V-10. When Azure moves down to the F-450 line, Ford and Azure's agreement leaves them with the option of integrating its plug-in technology into just the 6.7-liter turbo diesel V-8. With the F-350 line, Azure has more options again; they can choose from the same 6.7-liter turbo diesel V-8 or from Ford's 6.2-liter gas V-8.
Given the commonality between the F-550, F-450 and F-350, we're willing to bet that Azure will use the 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbo diesel for its plug-in hybrid truck. Not only would it be cheaper for them to just develop its plug-in hybrid technology for one engine, but the nature of the diesel engine makes it better suited than a comparable gasoline engine for plug-in hybrid duty, where it essentially acts as a generator. However, with the extra power boost offered with an electric motor, a smaller, less expensive engine could easily stand in for the monster diesel and offer ample motivation, including the 6.2-liter V-8 currently offered in the Super Duty line, or potentially something smaller, like Ford's 5.0-liter V-8.
Ford and Azure didn't go into any more detail on their new program, but that won't stop us from speculating a bit. Besides the usage of the 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel, we think that it could be a possibility that Ford and Azure includes a 240v power inverter in their new Super Duty plug-in hybrids. Inclusion of a 240v power inverter would not only allow contractors to run power tools off of their trucks, making them infinitely more useful, but it would also allow them to forgo the purchase and rental of generators at the job site. Owners of a Super Duty PHEV could use their new trucks to power electrical equipment. How cool would that be?
What would you want to see included on a Super Duty PHEV? What would a Super Duty PHEV need to have in order to draw customers away from more traditional options?

If the human race were to entertain serious notions of setting up shack somewhere else than Earth, the inevitable Noachian question will arrive what life to bring along or send ahead. Terraforming, for that is what we are talking about, will involve a good deal of clever gardening, introducing hardy life forms that can sustain themselves in hostile climates. With half an eye on this, humans have developed a keen interest in collecting information about species surviving in the most strenuous conditions. Like extremophiles, species that can stand the test of extremely vast stretches of time naturally attract extra attention for their ability to cope with changing climates, nutrition levels or soil conditions, features that are of interest to the astrobiologist as well as to those involved in Terran climate engineering.

Rachel Sussman does not embed her fascinating project Oldest Living Things in the World in the context I am supplying, but I suspect that a tangentially related motivation for her research does play a role, especially when you take into account an earlier short series she did on biospheres. Visually more appealing and easier to portray are life forms that look alien, like the one below, or majestic trees of mythical proportions, but probably more relevant for planetary engineers would be cases like the quite humble looking underground forest, the simple lichen living on bare rock, or the bacteria in the permafrost, which are about to disappear if the planet keeps warming up.

Of course, within decades that look like seconds to these ancient species, mankind will be designing new life forms, now that the ongoing experiments in synthetic DNA have proven successful for the first time. In a far away utopia, humans will return to being God's gardeners, in a twisted version of Eden, which is both nano-engineered as well as of global proportions. Now that we've learnt to take things apart so well, down to the smallest particles, can we please focus on putting them together again? After all, on a galactic level, life – not necessarily ours – is still the most precious inheritance we have been given. I know it sounds barmy to say so, but it doesn't hurt to remember the barmy stuff too now and then.

We have been in contact with a passed student, Martha, who successfully completed our Drawing and Painting Diploma (D1). Martha is about to exhibit in a local exhibition and has prepared some paintings of her surrounding area to exhibit. We asked Martha if she would write a little about some of her paintings and drawings for our blog…We hope you enjoy reading and viewing Martha's work and we wish her every success for her exhibition.
The Charcoals are taken from photos my friend sent to me, they are scenes of Pakefield Beach and Lowestoft Pier in Suffolk. When I received them I was inspired to draw them.
I also drew one of A Lake In The French Alps which I think is very picturesque! I think I have managed to capture it well! I enjoy using charcoals very much. It amazes me how the drawings come together, I find I don't need to put too much detail as it works well keeping it simple.
I submitted the two Charcoals last year for the Scottish Drawing Prize for the Exhibition at the Paisley Museum and Art Gallery. This was my third year entering Drawings. I have also had Paintings accepted for the Aspect Prize also at Paisley. I am one of the founder members of our local Art Group here in Carluke South Lanarkshire. Our Group also hire wall space at a local garden centre in the Clyde Valley. where we have been successful in selling paintings!
The painting above is just one of the paintings Martha Completed on her course which has now been framed. We would like to thank Martha for sharing her story and work with us.

What's Hot Today
'Scandal' Interview with Kerry Washington: Olivia Pope 'Wears the Pants, Metaphorically and Physically'
Scandal season 2 continues on Thursday, February 14 with an episode called "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot." BuddyTV caught up with Kerry Washington during a set visit last month to talk about what it's like to play Olivia Pope on the show. //www.buddytv.com/articles/scandal/scandal-interview-with-kerry-w-49153.aspx
ABC spins the numbers for Thursday, February 7. //www.thefutoncritic.com/ratings/2013/02/08/scandal-equals-its-series-high-up-for-its-second-straight-original-in-adults-18-49-491104/20130208abc01/
With tonight's episode titled "Nobody Likes Babies," you'd naturally assume the episode will center around Mellie and Fitz's baby, which was born prematurely. One minute, we saw Mellie enter the doctor's office looking perfectly normal yet with a ton of vengeance. Next minute, she was having that baby. Yet there's so much more to this episode, since they've been teasing it as a "Game Changer," and who really order the assassination attempt on Fitz. But for now, all we have are previews of Fitz juggling the main women in his life. //www.buddytv.com/articles/scandal/scandal-preview-and-spoilers-a-49140.aspx
They've faced many David Rosen problems in the past... but none quite like this. On tomorrow night's " Nobody Likes Babies ," Pope & Associates will be desperate to uncover whatever it can to use against this attorney - even if that entails making of of its very own Gladiators the center of a potential sex scandal. What might this mean for "Bobblehead?" And just what/who the heck is Bobblehead? Watch the following clip now and, as always, visit TV Fanatic soon after this Scandal Season 2 episode concludes for a full recap and review: //www.tvfanatic.com/2013/02/scandal-sneak-peek-start-digging/
Scandal (ABC) "Nobody Likes Babies" season 2 episode 13 airs Thursday, Feb 7 2012 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network . Synopsis: As David uncovers the truth about the Cytron case, things come to a head for Olivia, Cyrus, Mellie, Hollis and Verna. Backed into a corner, the five conspirators go to extremes and, in some cases, unconscionable lengths to protect themselves and/or the ones they love, on ABC's "Scandal," THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

August 06: 4.1%
5. Unemployment rate, full time woman workers over 20 years old
August 05: 5.6%
August 06: 4.3%
Solution Preview
The key to this assignment is the recognize that the US economy has been growing over the last year (see http://www.house.gov/budget/econup051506.pdf). So, any change in unemployment since 2005 is likely due to a reduction in cyclical unemployment.
1. This group is skilled, and is affected mostly by frictional unemployment. This is a voluntary unemployment of short duration, generally occurring when workers are changing jobs. It arises because ...
Solution Summary
Demographic information is used to determine which type of unemployment is occurring.

Books, Books, Books
Now that our sons and daughters have moved in, begun exploring, meeting friends, the reality begins. This means that they are now students again and the real reason they have been sent off to college surfaces. Get your wallets ready, because now they need books.
Books today come in many different forms and likewise can be purchased in a variety of ways – including rentals. Deciding which is the most cost-efficient and the easiest way for your students to use it are important factors. Textbooks can cost as much as a few hundred dollars each. (Please note that some professors will insist on the newest edition of a textbook simply because it is how they make money; therefore, last year's edition may not be considered sufficient; regardless of the fact that the changes in its material may be minuscule and a used edition may be far cheaper.) Some students may appreciate being able to mark up and highlight a textbook, while others may be satisfied with an online edition. Some professors have packets that come in sealed plastic and can be rather costly as well. Sometimes new books are required, because of an online code that comes with the book.
When buying books, your student must consider whether they want an actual textbook or a digital version (which is often available). If they prefer a book, then I suggest buying used or renting whenever possible. Hopefully, one that hasn't been marked up too much will be available. My daughter often asked her sorority sisters first. Students would much rather sell their books to a friend then back to the bookstore; they make more money back that way. You may want to mention to your students that as they meet people and look for the low-down on classes before registering for each semester; they should take note of who already took the class. Asking someone to save a book for them can guarantee a used book when they need it later. Students can also join the Facebook group called USF Textbook Exchange. Basically, what they do is eliminate the middleman (the bookstores) and sell books to each other.
The most obvious place to buy books is the campus bookstore. USF's bookstore (Barnes and Noble – which means that a Barnes and Noble gift card for your student is a great graduation gift, should anyone ask) will actually price match any textbooks found for a better price on bn.com, Amazon or from local competitors. They will not do this for digital books; they will, however, price match on rentals if the terms are the same. Students can order books online and pick them upright at the bookstore on campus. They can also be returned there at the end of the semester.
More Options
Another option for buying, selling or renting books is Chegg.com, ecampus.com, and Bookbyte. There is also a bookstore, Textbook Solutions, right across from campus that also does all of this. BookHolders is located right across the street from campus near Panera Bread and allows students to buy and sell books. Students can use their USF email to get six months of Amazon Prime Student (free shipping) for free and then for only $50 a year. And yes, Amazon rents books too. It is, as I said above, a matter of weighing the options. I personally think renting is the least expensive way to go.
Now some of you may encourage your students to be proactive and order their textbooks early, but hang on. I have heard too many times that books arrive and then on the first day of class, the professor announces they have changed books, wants the newest edition or that they really don't need a book at all (the internet has enough information). Be sure they can return any books purchased ahead of time should this happen or wait to order it until they confirm what they need, (but don't wait too long; when a book doesn't arrive until halfway through the semester due to backorder; it can be a problem.)
Tune in at the end of the semester for thoughts on what to do with those used books so they don't just gather dust under the bed. Let the studying begin!

BULGOGI : Beef or Pork is sliced thinly then marinated in seasoning before being grilled.
Copy right @ debbietingzon
The word Bulgogi (불고기) literally means "fire meat" in Korean, derived from Pyongan dialect, equivalent to neobiani in Seoul dialect. It refers to cooked marinated meat, applied old traditional grilling techniques using gridirons or perforated dome griddles that sit on braziers, unlike deep frying or boiling in water. The term is also applied to variations such as dak bulgogi (made with chicken) or dwaeji bulgogi (made with pork), depending on what kind of meat ingredient and corresponding seasoning are used.[3]
Bulgogi (Korean pronunciation: [pulɡoɡi]) or neobiani[1] is a Korean dish that usually consists of marinated barbecued beef, chicken or pork. It is listed at number 23 on World's 50 most delicious foods readers' poll compiled by CNN Go in 2011.[ (Source : Wiki)

Cyber Security
Monday 29 July 2019
"Don't you think this is political paranoia?"The claim about informants is based on interviews with some politically important Russian expats in Britain. Neither the report that is cited, nor the newspaper shown in the tweet, are making the claim that half of Russians in Britain are informants.
"The Federal News Agency continues to publish materials about the incompetent behavior of foreign [intelligence] services. Journalists at FAN got through to one of the numbers from which it received SMS threats. From the other side the answer was in English."In a bid to counter U.S. efforts to stop Russians from interfering in the mid-term elections, Russia's infamous troll farm has released yet another patently forged video that is comically bad in its execution.
"It's no secret to anyone, Western journalists write openly that Bellingcat is connected to special services, they leak information through it to have some effect on public opinion."Russian sources are promoting a narrative that the open source investigative reporting organization is connected to Western intelligence. Russia has not produced any evidence to connect Bellingcat to British or other intelligence agencies.
"All these cases have been branded 'likes and reposts cases' … We must draw the line here - we do have [criminal cases opened] for reposts, because reposts mean information is uploaded, but no criminal cases have been opened for 'likes.'"Normally, "liking" things on social media would not lead to a criminal case for extremism, but because of some social network's settings, liking posts automatically led to them being displayed on one's page. In at least one instance this led to a criminal charges for "extremism."
"Apparently, our American colleagues do not want to present any evidence of the 'Russian cyber interference,' which they supposedly have, and that is to avoid shame. There is not and there cannot be any [such evidence]."Russia's interference is detailed in multiple, publicly-available cyber security reports. The shuttered internet domains are connected to Fancy Bear, which the reports say has compromised and attacked Western leaders, governments, political groups and private corporations.
"With the help of the U.S., five cyber operations centers have been deployed in Europe - in Finland, Estonia, Poland, Germany and France."The Russian defense minister "expects" the Helsinki summit will deepen military cooperation with NATO, but points to cyber operations as an example of NATO's intense military preparations. Yet, some of the cyber centers were stood up in response to Russian threats.
"Putin: Russian state has never intervened in US elections, nor going to do it. No evidence supporting the accusations was ever presented. But cybersecurity is one of the possible cooperation areas, as discussed in Hamburg in 2017."FalseU.S. intelligence agencies and private companies have detailed Russia's election interference.Government and private agencies have provided evidence and indicted Russians and their government-funded companies for interfering in the 2016 election. The Russian U.K. Embassy didn't dispute the evidence, but rather claimed it was never presented.
"We heard accusations against the company Concord.

Treat Yourself (and others!) to a Scrumptious Autumn Luncheon at Capital M
For my dear poor friend who just happened to be in Beijing on a very grey and gloomy day that was wet and rainy and just blah, I knew just the place to brighten her spirits. A very special place in Beijing, Capital M is a guaranteed show-stopper. Everything from its stunning design to the five-star service and beautiful dishes, it's always at the top of my list to impress guests and show them a side of Beijing that's anything but grey.
As soon as my friend stepped into Capital M, I could see it in her eyes, she was in absolute awe. As an aspiring illustrator, she was delighted to see all the beautiful, vibrant colors that fill the walls of Capital M and the cozy fireplaces was exactly what we both needed to defrost and reboot.

How to Dig Dirt from Big Government: Part 3
|"Censored" rubber stamp (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Sign the Whitehouse petition to reduce mass-killer media coverage by use of pseudonyms, thanks!
How to Dig Dirt from Big Government is a sporadic series covering the topic of researching information from governmental groups, who often are not quick to respond to requests. This can include FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) and OPRA (NJ Open Public Records Act) requests, as well as other legal means of obtaining information. It is hoped that providing this series of articles will help others to become more informed citizens and to ensure their representation in a system which may not always notice the "little guy" even when it's making it's good faith best effort. Consider FOIA & OPRA interchangeable in this series unless specifically noted.
In Review:
In Part 1 of this series of articles about submitting FOIA and OPRA requests, I began my plan to submit 3 requests for staff directories to the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, and the New Jersey Department and Children and Families. This basic request would be a litmus test for public records access in New Jersey... if you can't even get a staff directory to help contact the people who work for the taxpayers, what hope is there?
In Part 2 of this series, I noted that I had only a single positive response to these 3 requests: the Department of Agriculture, who provided me in short order a staff directory, though it was not to the specifications I requested. At that time, the Department of Banking and Insurance denied my request under the claim of confidential personal information (despite communications with the Government Records Custodian that this information was a part of the public record). Since that writing, the Department of Children and Families has denied my request on the basis that they do not have a central staff directory, but they have worked with me via email to help provide some of the information that I was requesting in different forms.
So, what follows is some talk about the various departments' responses, filing a complaint with the New Jersey Government Records Council about the NJ DOBI denial, and some resources that I discovered through the process which are not well known, but might even have saved the trouble of these OPRA requests to begin with.
Filing a Denial Complaint With the New Jersey Government Records Council
I'm not listing the names of individuals I corresponded with here in this article. I do believe in government transparency, but I don't believe it's necessary to publicly shame state workers by name, whose time we pay for, when they acted in good faith to perform their job duties... even if I believe they may not full understand the regulations they were hired to uphold. (Ed.'s note)
So, as noted in Part 2, the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance denied my OPRA request for "Most recent staff directory, including at the least name, email, direct phone number, and title, for the NJ Department of Banking and Insurance."
The reasons given for denial? First, "Denial: 02.Inter/Intra-Agency Advisory, Consultative or Deliberative Material --- Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1." Well, I read NJSA 47:A-1. and it does not list staff directories and indicates that primarily records which are draft (not finalized) or contain personal information about a private citizen's personal life may not be released (though in practice, if you push they can be released with information redacted, as in the example of correspondence from you or me to a government official about a public matter). In other words, this didn't even feel like a particularly good effort to deny an OPRA request, let along a correct or legal one.
Several polite emails back and forth and the Government Records Custodian at NJ DOBI declined to reply further, at which point I did inform him I'd be taking it up with the Government Records Council (seems like fair play to me and I'll have to notify him anyway when I file the paperwork).
I headed over to the GRC website and downloaded the Denial of Access Complaint form. The website said to call or email first in case it could be resolved over the phone (for example, if I was wrong and had no case, why bother filing?). An email conversation with the GRC seemed to strongly indicate that a staff directory is in fact public record.
Filling out the paperwork: when you print out the form, it's 9 pages, but you only need 3 if you decline mediation. I would like mediation, but I declined it because I don't make any money off of this and I'm not looking to drive down to Trenton (which is probably where they would want to have the mediation) to argue my case. -- You can also, for a $200 filing fee, simply take the Government Records Custodian that denied your request to court... which I found was implied to be much faster and potentially more successful than a denial complaint, but I opted for the complaint for time, travel, and monetary reasons once again.
I was also able to fax the paperwork, which made things easier, though it'd be great if they let me submit it over the web or via email. I had to include my email conversations with the person who denied my request as well, no big deal.
So now I wait and see what happens. I expect that the least that will happen is that the individual in question will be more hesitant to deny OPRA requests in the future, as this probably causes a bit of paperwork. Hopefully, my request will be fulfilled.
Other Responses:
The Department of Agriculture sent over what looks to be a PDF from a website (more on that in a second). It didn't include email addresses. I didn't complain because this is a test to see how FOIA / OPRA works in New Jersey, not an opportunity to dig up every detail (though I did request the email addresses).*
*Worth noting: New Jersey residents have a right to email New Jersey State Staff at their professional email addresses. You do pay for both that service and the staff time to answer those emails, after all. I'd say probably any American citizen has the right to email, though I can see staff ignoring citizens clearly outside of their representation. At any rate, refusing to provide the public with email addresses for state staff does little good as a simple Excel formula can generate an accurate list of email addresses for any state employee in a matter of seconds, as long as you have their first name, last name, and department. In other words, anyone trying to hide state staff email addresses from the public is only fooling themselves.
...but I digress. So, good response from the Department of Agriculture.
The Department of Children and Families responded to my request with a denial, citing a long stretch of legalese copy and pasted from the same place the guy at the Department of Banking and Insurance got the information. Undaunted, I fired back a round of 4 or 5 questions asking for clarification: do the records not exist? do they exist but I can't have them? etc.
I received in response a note that the department I sent my request to does not have a directory for all the staff for all of the divisions of the NJ Department of Children and Families. Eventually, I got them to send me part of what they did have, thanked them, and took note of some other resources they recommended (which I will also discuss in minute).
Other Resources:
You may not need to file an OPRA / FOIA to get the information that you need. More and more state governments are becoming aware of the need for transparency and the benefits that everyone reaps when they put the data that they use every day directly onto a website for citizens to search. Wider availability of data ensures less queries from the public (and less staff time answering them), more eyes finding occasional cases of corruption more quickly, and the opportunity for researchers to uncover mathematical truths about our daily lives in America in new and exciting ways.
The Government Records Council and the New Jersey Department of Children and Families recommended that I check out the following resources, which frankly I did not know or had forgotten existed:
- State of New Jersey Transparency Center - Featuring in depth budget reports, downloadable data, and the holy grail of OPRA-dom, public payroll records even down to the individual staff member: http://nj.gov/transparency
- State of New Jersey Phone Directory - Fairly complete, does not include email addresses: http://www.state.nj.us/nj/gov/direct/
- Asbury Park Press' Data Universe - Looks like a lot of OPRA / FOIA on behalf of the APP, includes tons of salary data for individual state employees that I couldn't find on the state website: http://www.app.com/section/DATA/DataUniverse
- Morris County Tax Records - Lots of historic deeds data as well as most recent assessment and property taxes. Great if you're looking for a home and don't want to be added to a real estate agent's contact list just to find out the tax data on a listing (full disclosure: I'm a real estate agent) http://mcweb1.co.morris.nj.us/TaxBoard/SearchTR.jsp
- Food Safety Reports Online - ...from the Pequannock Township Health Department, actual retail food inspection reports online covering 5 local towns, a great example of how governments can work to be more transparent without adding huge overhead costs to their budget. http://www.peqtwp.org/Cit-e-Access/webpage.cfm?TID=60&TPID=7555

Showing remarkable restraint, I only bought 6 plants at the MG plant sale this morning. However, the gathered multitudes of other gardeners ( some from as far as Danville!) were scooping up the deals and carrying out the plants in boxes on carts.. Today is overcast, cool and there is a slight drizzle of rain-perfect planting weather!
On my return home, I was surprised to see that my "Paper Butterfly" daylily had started blooming again and looking lovely beside some bright pink dianthus. So re-blooming day lilies are not an urban myth!

for every beast of the forest is mine and the cattle on a thousand hills. Ps. 50:10
"There is no substitute for good management."
Our mission is to provide quality grassfed and finished beef for our valued customers. We also offer a limited amount of forages for other livestock producers and have started into breeding some red angus cattle.
Quality grassfed beef cannot be raised without specific attention to managing forage. Performance on the plate is contingent upon all the little things being taken care of at the herd and soil health levels. Our livestock see quality, managed, forages in pasture, hay, and ensiled forms to ensure that their nutritional needs are met and that they have what they need to perform. Modern grain finishing methods provide an important role in meeting America's demand for cheap, inexpensive, high-volume, confinement-raised beef...however, grain can "cover a multitude of sins" that cannot be hidden when grass finishing...the details matter. Grass finishing is the traditional way to finish beef, but there is no substitute for management. When we took our first beef to the butcher we were told that there was no way that the animal was grassfed and finished...but we knew 100% because we had owned and raised the calf ourselves since birth--we fooled the butcher. The butcher's response is a further indication of all the "junk" grassfed that is in the marketplace--zero marbling. Our discerning customers often seek out our beef for multiple reasons:
1)we do not compromise on quality grassfed
2)we offer "beefshare" sales which often leads to savings for the consumer
3)they are buying direct-from-the-farm
4)they understand the security in local food systems
Potentially healthier options. Even just a brief internet search for "grassfed beef" will bring a variety of results. One common theme among them is that grassfed and finished beef offers more of the "good" fats while containing lower amounts of the "bad" fats along with higher levels of CLA and beta carotene. We have accommodated requests from folks who often have allergies to store-bought beef. We are not food scientists, but we know it's hard to beat fresh.
Freezer beef is our business. The majority of our ready-to-butcher steers are sold direct-to-consumer for freezer beef. Buying beef this way can result in higher-quality, more-flavorful, beef in your home at value levels found in buying bulk.
100% grassfed and finished beef from farm raised forages that perform!

"This summer (2016), I am one of 54 interns of the City of Philadelphia's Mayor's Internship Program. This program allows interns to explore government in a few ways. All interns work for at least 20 hours with a city department, which we were placed in after a few interviews as well as our interests and applications. I am working in the Strategic Planning division of the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Services (DBHIDS). In the department, I do a lot of Excel work, and have been researching articles about opioid use and mental health in Philadelphia.
On Fridays, all the interns meet (sometimes inside City Hall, sometimes in the Municipal Building, sometimes at specific sites, like Philadelphia International Airport), and we hear from people who work in the City of Philadelphia. This coming Friday, we will be hearing two panels, with speakers including the Deputy Managing Director for Community Services, and the Chief Cultural Officer.
Additionally, the interns are split into groups to work on one of six projects. My specific project is to work with the Office of Immigrant Affairs to help with the first ever Unity Cup. The Unity Cup is a World-Cup like soccer tournament with different communities of Philadelphia competing and representing that country. Although I have only been interning for two weeks, this internship is really great, and I am so thankful for the opportunity.
I am a current pre-med student, so I get a lot of questions asking why I am working 'in the government.' We live in a very political world, especially now with medical insurance and there is a ton of politics in medical settings-especially hospitals. I think that it is important to be in the know of politics, which is why I applied to this program. I am also interested in seeing what the world of public health is about, so again, I am really thankful for this opportunity!" - Devica Bhutani '18

Obama Girl 2008
from Rawclyde 2012
The primary goal here is to keep Barack Obama in the White House.
The President has more integrity than his opponent Mitt Romney. Romney keeps changing his mind. For example, he no longer backs affordable healthcare for the American people like he did when he was a governor. He backs gargantuan profits for insurance industry CEOs now instead ~ like up to 42-million dollars last year for Stephen Hemsley of the United Health Group. Hemsley is one of Romney's wealth-gluttonized constituents.
Obama is more genuine. He's pulling us outta Afghanistan after ordering and authorizing the American military to capture and kill Bin Laden in Pakistan. He said he'd get us outta of Iraq and we're out. The economy would be growing more so if it wasn't for the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives putting common sense on hold for the last two years ~ while they pursue their number-one goal ~ getting rid of President Obama. Why do the leaders of the Republican Party want to get rid of Obama? Oh yeah, that's right ~ he wants the tax cuts for the super rich to expire so we can keep a social safety net for ~ for who? The American people.
Barack's back-up is plain ordinary people struggling for joy and freedom in America. Mitt's primary back-up is fat cats ~ period. Mitt's back-up is men with an agenda that whittles on ordinary people ~ sculptures them into slaves. Oil tycoons David & Charles Koch are footing a large enough part of Romney's bill to be the true residents in the White House if their white-boy clone wins the election this November. Then the Koch brothers dream is to deregulate the oil industry for fatter profits than they already got while poisoning our land. We, the people, don't want to serve corporate agenda. We, the people, want corporations to serve us.
If we can keep Mr. Obama in the White House he'll be positioned to strengthen our democratic institutions and economy with everyday people in mind. Quite frankly, he's got the balls to do what he thinks is best. And he does know how to think. Mitt will be the super-rich man's puppet flip-flopping around, tied to all them strings, to make those fellers who are addicted to wealth even wealthier.
The economy was written off by the Republican Party two years ago when they won the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Too many in this majority promised not to raise taxes on those with all the money & decided their number-one goal was to get rid of our president. Why do they want to get rid of President Obama?
Why don't you ask them. I've been asking Republicans for two years now and all I get in reply are ethnic jokes and "I hate him!" Meanwhile President Obama has passed health care reform, wall street reform, and the stimulus which saved the country from a 30's like depression. He ended the war in Iraq, is drawing down the war in Afghanistan. He turned around the failing U.S. auto industry, invested the nation in renewable energy technology, cut taxes for the middle-class about 15 times, and the list goes on while certain bumkins around me holler he's done nothing.
What do you think about the actuality that Black folks saved your democracy with the advent of the 1965 Voter Rights Act? They marched in the streets and got beat-up for that ~ just like the Americans in the early 20th century marched barefoot in the snow for an 8-hour working day instead of wage slavery. The Black folks who marched thru the 60s are more American than those people who want to get rid of Obama. Greed hate and fear must not overcome love peace and freedom ~ not in the election of 2012.
Mitt Romney's back-up decided to screw the economy two-years ago and blame it on your president. Well, let's put it on top of the table. Right now. Fuck the economy. The goal is Obama in the White House for 4 more years. He can do it for the American people.
Amber Lee Ettinger was Obama Girl…
