With accessible rules, simple processes and improved immigration policies, Australia's pr visa is attracting many foreign visitors from around the world. But speaking of India in particular, there have been requests in recent years. For proper understanding, full information about Australia Permanent Residency From India is provided below.
What is Australia's pr visa?
It is a 'permanent resident' visa, intended exclusively for people who are not Australian citizens. The process is not only highly systematic and organised, but also sufficiently advanced to assess applications based on the person's credentials.
Once acquired, the holder of a PR visa can stay in Australia for an indefinite period of time. In addition, the possibility to travel for five years is also granted. Until the end of this journey, the holder is free to travel to and from Australia.
A permanent resident can enjoy a range of privileges and rights as a citizen, including access to subsidised or free health and legal services. However, the holder of a pr visa is not free or entitled to vote in state, territorial or federal elections unless registered before 1984.
A permanent resident is entitled to citizenship after a certain waiting period. At the end of this period, the applicant must undergo a nationality test with certain other formalities. This may take about 3 – 12 months.
Visa requirements for PR in Australia
As already mentioned, an Australian pr visa is a highly points-based system. Therefore, the acquisition process is a mixture of both online and offline activities. The basic requirements are as follows:
- Keep the documents to hand
In addition to educational and routine travel documents, an individual needs two main documents, which are
The result of the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) to demonstrate the applicant's level of English.
The result of an assessment of competence by an assessment authority to demonstrate an applicant's competence in a particular field.
- Select an appropriate visa
Please understand that there are different types of PR visas in Australia. Therefore, it is essential that you choose the one that best suits your needs. The most common categories are:
Subclass 190 – State-appointed PR visa
Subclass 189 – Unsponsored visa
Subclass 186 – Visa proposed by the employer
- Choose a SOL profession
After selecting a particular PR visa, the applicant must choose a Skilled Occupation List (SOL).
- Apply through a point system
Once the above measures have been taken, the applicant should apply directly to the Australian points system. To do so, they must submit an EOI (Expression of Interest) to Australia's online competence selection system. Skill Select is an online system that stores and maintains details of an applicant's profile such as name, age, gender, work experience, language skills, qualification, etc. Thailand elite membership

Beyond All Religion:
This book is about the consequences of religion more than whether Christ rose from the dead (Krishna, Mithras, Osiris, Attis of Phrygia, Dionysus, all of whom besides being born on December 25th from a virgin mother, died and were resurrected, except for Mithras - who ascended directly without dying!) or whether the text of the verses of the Qur'an correspond exactly to those revealed to Muhammad directly as the words of God, delivered to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel.. It is more focused on how religious scriptures and writings have been misused to harm, torture or kill others who don't believe, or used for justification to do what most rational persons would consider evil. How is this for religious intolerance? Rabbi Yaacov Perrin said, "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail." Muhammad married a 6 year old girl. Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism had 24 wives, one was 14 years old. Smith was convicted of fraud (of being an "imposter"- a con man), in a court of law.. Then he wrote "The Book of Mormon..". The story of Moses is patterned after the story of Sargon the Great. Moses did not exist. Christianity was invented for political purposes by the Roman Emperor Constantine ("The Great") in 325 A.D. based on the myth of Mithra (Persian savior god born on December 25th).. Do a web search on: "How Christianity was Invented: The Truth!", without the quotes. Constantine's friend, Eusebius (Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine) has been described as "the first thoroughly dishonest historian of antiquity". He is also described as "The Father of Church History."Destruction of previous conflicting documents and edifices followed, including the destruction of the Great Library of Alexandria. This book is an attempt to create awareness of the true origins and the fraudulent and forged self-serving writings of the main religions. Their purpose is to control and mislead us to follow them, without question, essentially putting us in a prison in our own minds. Like the elephant with the rope around one foot, it is easy for us to break free, but we don't know it. This book is an attempt to encourage us to follow an alternative, a humanitarian secular ethical road moving beyond all religion. The orgins of the main religions are shown to be copycats of previous myths, with outrageous fraud and forgeries exposed. Covers all four major religions.

What is Collagen?
You can find collagen in many parts of your body including your muscles, digestive system, bones, skin, face, tendons, and even your blood vessels. Collagen plays a role in bone density, joints, hair, nails, gut function, and skin elasticity.
The different types of collagen and their function:
- Type 1 collagen is the most abundant in the body and can be found in tendons, ligaments, organs, and skin (dermis). It forms the matrix of bones and is part of the GI tract.
- Type 2 is a nutrient-rich source of glucosamine, chondroitin, and what makes up connective tissue and cartilage.
- Type 3 makes up the extracellular matrix helping to keep our organs and skin together. It can play a role in skin elasticity and firmness. It is also part of our heart and muscle tissue, helping to form our blood vessels.
- Type 5 makes up the surface of our cells, our hair, and our placenta.
- Type 10 is part of the creation of new bones and cartilage and plays a role in our motion and joint health.
What is hydrolyzed collagen?
A hydrolyzed protein is a protein that has been broken down into smaller peptides and amino acids, generally through the use of hydrochloric acid or another enzyme. As proteins are broken down, they may offer a different absorption level.*

After a brief flurry of activity that saw three players drafted, a captain traded, a head coach forced to hold a press conference to announce he was still head coach, and a sporting director called away to something urgent the rumor mill believes is his own separation from the club (and RBNY says is not), the New York Red Bulls have returned to their favorite posture of the break between the 2016 and 2017 MLS seasons: being very quiet.
But, shy as RBNY might be about admitting it, there is work being done at the club. The latest evidence of such came attached to a birthday greeting to goalkeeper Evan Louro.
Happy birthday to @NewYorkRedBulls @michigan@evanlouro123 ! First bday as a pro with many more to come.
— Global Premier Mgmt (@GlobalPremMgmt) January 19, 2017
That Tweet represents the second time this off-season that a goalkeeper's signing with RBNY has, effectively, been announced by a source other than the club. On January 3, agency Remington Ellis declared its client, Rafael Diaz, had signed with the Red Bulls. Now Louro's representatives at the negotiating table, Global Premier Management, have wished him well for his 21st and his rookie year as a pro with RBNY.
While there is no reason to doubt either agency, the lack of comment from the club implies something is preventing RBNY from firing off a celebratory press release. Once A Metro has learned both deals are close to being definitively done, so the absence of confirmation from RBNY is not expected to persist for much longer. Diaz and Louro will be Red Bulls in 2017.
Louro is a Red Bulls Academy product and has maintained connection with the club since pursuing a college career with Michigan. He is fondly remember by NPSL's Detroit City FC.
Happy birthday, @evanlouro123! #DCTID pic.twitter.com/IwoHYtvCeh
— Detroit City FC (@DetroitCityFC) January 19, 2017
In May, the 'keeper was named Player of the Round by TheCup,us for his work in helping DCFC to a clean sheet and a penalty-shootout victory over Michigan Bucks (and fellow RBNY Academy grad, Adam Najem) in the first round of the 2016 US Open Cup. Louro then bid his NPSL club goodbye, and summered with RBNY's U-23 team in PDL.
He is eligible for a Homegrown Player contract with RBNY, and has long been rumored to be targeted for a HGP deal by the club for the coming season. So the expectation is Louro will be announced as a Homegrown player on the first-team MLS roster. That expectation does not, however, combine well with the competing notion that Rafa Diaz has signed with the MLS side of the Red Bulls' house. Something doesn't quite add up there.
Both 'keepers might reasonably be considered to be looking at a season with NYRB II in USL, since RBNY has a clear starter - Luis Robles - and Ryan Meara is currently the presumptive back-up at the first-team level. Three 'keepers on a roster in MLS is very much the standard amount. Four seems like an unnecessary waste of a roster spot.
But we will have to wait until official announcements are made and the MLS and USL rosters are finalized to understand exactly how RBNY intends to balance the career ambitions and needs of four goalkeepers with the club's own need to build a first-team squad that has depth at every position while remaining compliant with the arcane and changeable roster rules of MLS.
But at least one of RBNY's off-season necessities has been addressed. The club basically requires four pro 'keepers to keep its MLS and USL teams adequately staffed at the position. At the end of the 2016 season, the club saw Ryan Meara's contract expire, Kyle Reynish slip into free agency (again), and Rafael Diaz's USL deal reached its end. Briefly, the team had just one 'keeper - Luis Robles - under contract. In mid-December, Meara was re-signed. Diaz's re-signing made it three, now Louro is the fourth. The Red Bulls' have all the 'keepers they need for 2017.

It's no secret that millennials are behind previous generations when it comes to buying homes. And I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's not because we bought too many avocados or lattes.
So if you're a millennial who owns a home, we'd love to hear your story of how you got there.
Maybe you were able to save up for the down payment thanks to help from your family. After college, your parents let you stay at home for a few years so you could save money. Not having to pay rent during that time allowed you build up a homebuying fund that you don't know how you could have gotten otherwise.
Or perhaps you were able to land a high-paying job. And instead of spending more with your bigger earning power, you kept driving a beater car and living with roommates. Keeping your expenses as low as possible gave you room to save up for a down payment.
Or maybe you inherited a house after a loved one died and you feel kinda conflicted about it. It's weird being congratulated on owning a house when you'd so much rather just have that person back. But at the same time, you know that it's a huge privilege to have a home.
Or perhaps you and your partner took advantage of a first-time homebuyers program in your area. You had some savings stashed away, but not enough for a down payment without the help of that program.
Tell us how you became a millennial homeowner in the comments or via this anonymous Google form and you could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post.
And for more stories about life and money, check out the rest of our personal finance posts.

Classic car loʋers loʋe a good Ƅarn find story, and this one is sure to please Mopar fans in particular. A 1966 Dodge Coronet, мodified Ƅy the legendary "Mr. Norм" Kraus, has recently eмerged froм decades in hiding. What мakes this find especially exciting is that it's a one-off Mr. Norм's car, featuring a rare 426-cuƄic-inch (7.0-liter) Wedge V8 engine.
Mr. Norм was a well-known car dealer and tuner Ƅased in Chicago, Illinois, who gained faмe in the 1960s and 1970s for his high-perforмance мuscle car мodifications, particularly on Dodge ʋehicles. He created nuмerous custoм cars, including the faмous "Super Charger" Dodge Charger, Ƅut he also мodified lesser-known мodels like the Dodge Dart GSS and this 1966 Coronet.
The Coronet was originally produced Ƅy Dodge froм 1949 to 1976 and was offered in seʋeral Ƅody styles, including a two-door coupe, four-door sedan, and station wagon. The 1966 мodel was one of the мost popular, and it caмe with a range of engine options, including the rare 426-cuƄic-inch Wedge V8 that this particular car left the factory with.
Fast forward to 2023, and the Coronet has Ƅeen rediscoʋered. Howeʋer, it appears to Ƅe suffering froм an identity crisis. The car is sporting "Coronet 500" and "383" Ƅadges on its front fenders, and it no longer packs its original Wedge V8 engine. Instead, it's equipped with a less powerful 383-cuƄic-inch (6.3-liter) V8 engine.
Because of an accident that left one of the fenders daмaged, the original owner decided to replace Ƅoth of theм with coмponents froм a different Coronet without Ƅothering to alter the eмƄleмs. He also claiмs that the car has Ƅeen that way since the 1970s, despite ownership changes that occurred around the tiмe it disappeared froм ʋiew in 1995.
For Mopar fans, this find is a rare opportunity to own a unique piece of Dodge history. It's unclear what the future holds for this one-off Mr. Norм's Coronet, Ƅut one thing is for sure: it's a rare find that's sure to turn heads at any car show or cruise night.

By Robert Nott
The Santa Fe New Mexican
In the end, as Dean Martin liked to sing, everybody loves somebody — at least, sometime.
That was true in the waning minutes of this year's legislative session as lawmakers from opposing parties and with markedly different views of political philosophy bid goodbye to one another with hugs, handshakes and fare-thee-wells.
Absent was any sense of partisan conflict as legislators, weary after 60 days of debates, decisions and defeats — as well as victories, of course — bid adieu to it all for another year at noon Saturday.
In the House of Representatives, there was a more collegial feeling of mutual respect, even if the two parties' respective legislative goals were often at odds.
After debating and voting on a broad omnibus tax package that had curved its way through the last week of the session like a hard-to-catch serpent, members of the House took on about six Senate bills, approving them rapidly in the last hours of the floor session.
The House benefited from an influx of new vitality courtesy of over 15 new members in both major political parties as well as the energy of two new floor leaders — House Speaker Javier Martínez, D-Albuquerque, and House Minority Leader Ryan Lane, R-Aztec.
The two set a tone of mutual respect that enveloped the entire body for most of the session. Debates on potentially divisive issues as the budget, abortion, gun control and crime-prevention initiatives did heat up, but not to the fiery heights of past House floor interactions between the two parties.
House lawmakers from both camps praised Martínez for his calm, professional demeanor as the clock ticked away.
"We have not always agreed but because of leadership we remained agreeable. … We treated each other with respect," said Rep. Alan Martinez, R-Bernalillo, to the assembly.
When Rep. Reena Szczepanski, D-Santa Fe, expressed gratitude to Javier Martínez and said, "Thank you for a wonderful year," the assembly rose as one and applauded.
Both Martínez and Lane briefly broke into tears as they tried to describe how the session had impacted them and how the people around them, including family members, had helped them through it.
"I think the change of culture that has happened in this body starts at the top," Lane said.
Things were not always so calm on the Senate side.
Senators hurriedly passed a series of bills in the final hours of the session, including a measure to make the smell of roasting green chile the official aroma of New Mexico.
Senate Bill 188, which had already passed the chamber, required a concurrence vote to approve a House amendment striking "in the fall" from the language.
Sen. Mark Moores, R-Albuquerque, called SB 188 the "stinkiest bill" of the session.
"I really do think that this bill gets the stinky award this year because it really has been a waste of time," he said. "It really sends a message to the people of New Mexico that we're not that serious up here."
Moores said he received questions from constituents asking why lawmakers were debating such a trivial bill when other pressing matters were at hand, including addressing issues with the state's medical malpractice law, which doctors in independent clinics said had left them unable to obtain insurance.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said she plans to sign SB 188 into law.
"I know that some folks around the world might not see the relevance of touting what you're really proud of," she said. "It is a huge economic driver in the state. It is what we're known for."
While senators pushed a number of bills through before adjournment, they also took time to introduce family members and revel in the final hours.
Sen. Bill Sharer, R-Farmington, who closed last year's Senate floor session with a filibuster on a voting rights bill that was revamped and passed this year, treated lawmakers to a poem.
"Into the wee hours we fuddle and spuddle," he said. "On med mal and medical leave, both sides huddled. Our differences are clear, they're not so subtle. Can we just go to the popcorn patch and have a group huddle?"
As with every session, there was bound to be upset, conflict and a touch of scandal mixed into the legislative bag. Martínez's removal of Rep. Patty Lundstrom, D-Gallup, as chair of the House Appropriations and Finance Committee on the first day of the session sent temporary shock waves through the Capitol.
Lundstrom was long seen as the financial guru of the House as she presided for years over the committee and the shaping of the state budget.
But the angst over Martínez's decision soon subsided, and Lundstrom, after an initial expression of anger, continued to voice her concerns and provide input in committee and floor debates on varying pieces of legislation.
Meanwhile, a rising star in the Senate got caught up in a scandal when his wife told sheriff's deputies she caught him frolicking with another woman in Santa Fe. If the allegations and Santa Fe County Sheriff's report briefly shook the ground under Sen. Cliff Pirtle's feet, the Roswell Republican regained his stride and showed up at subsequent floor sessions and hearings to play his role in the proceedings.
The governor had her share of trouble too — and not just in terms of pushing for legislation that did not win approval with lawmakers and thus died along the legislative vine.
Lujan Grisham lost three Cabinet secretaries at the start of the session: Dr. David Scrase as Department of Human Services secretary, John A. Garcia as secretary of the General Services Department and Kurt Steinhaus as secretary of the Public Education Department, which is on its fourth Cabinet secretary under the governor's administration.
The appointment of James Mountain as secretary of the Indian Affairs Department stirred controversy over a 15-year-old rape charge against the former governor of San Ildefonso Pueblo, and the reappointment of Cultural Affairs Secretary Debra Garcia y Griego triggered pushback amid high-level turnover in the agency. Neither went before the Senate Rules Committee for confirmation.
In the end, it was a simple line uttered by Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell, R-Roswell, that said it all.
Speaking of the hard work lawmakers did, she said of the results, "Not all of it was good, not all of it was bad, OK?"
Legislative session ends on collegial notes

Adaptive Backtest for Expected Shortfall
Research Report | Oct 18, 2017 | Carlo Acerbi, Balazs SzekelyExpected Shortfall (ES) replaced Value at Risk (VaR) under the Basel Committee's Minimum Capital Requirements for Market Risk in 2016. However, whether ES can be backtested is still an open and critical question. We have recently shown that ES can be only approximately backtested, because any ES backtest is sensitive to VaR predictions. This paper proposes a new ES backtest that has the minimum possible sensitivity to VaR predictions, which makes it an appropriate validation tool for ES-based...
Keeping Indexes Investable in Evolving Markets
Research Report | Mar 24, 2017 | Pavlo Taranenko, Carlo Acerbi, Sebastien Lieblich, Balazs SzekelyMarket liquidity around the globe has changed drastically over the past decade, due to a combination of regulatory, technological and investment changes. Relative trading volumes on many primary trading venues have dropped by about 50% since their peak in 2009. To ensure the investability and replicability of MSCI equity indexes, we regularly monitor the liquidity of index constituents, apply liquidity screening criteria and review index construction rules and liquidity measures.

Backtesting Risk Models - Mid-Year
Research Report | Sep 2, 2015 | Carlo Acerbi, Thomas Verbraken, Balazs SzekelyRisk measures, such as Expected Shortfall and Value at Risk, are designed to calculate the risk of a portfolio. But different risk models may work better than others for different asset classes and in varying time horizons. The MSCI Model Scorecard provides an innovative tool designed to help select the best risk model in terms of Expected Shortfall (ES) and Value at Risk (VaR) predictivity.
Backtesting Expected Shortfall - A Practical Guide
Research Report | Jul 22, 2015 | Carlo Acerbi, Thomas Verbraken, Balazs SzekelyExpected shortfall (ES) has attracted controversy as a measure of a portfolio's risk since it was introduced in 2001. One reason for this was that some critics suggested ES could not be backtested. Last year, however, MSCI proposed a way of backtesting expected shortfall. This development is especially important in the light of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's recent decision to adopt ES in place of VaR. The ability to backtest expected shortfall also has broader...
Research Insight - Backtesting Expected Shortfall - December 2014
Research Report | Dec 2, 2014 | Carlo Acerbi, Balazs SzekelyIn this white paper, we join the debate over Expected Shortfall versus VaR by introducing three model-independent, nonparametric back-test methodologies for Expected Shortfall, which we find more powerful than today's standard Basel VaR test. Our three Expected Shortfall back-test's generally require the storage of more information, but we find no conceptual limitations nor computational difficulties. In fact, one of the proposed back tests does not require any additional storage of data from...

Rex Ryan doesn't care for criticism of him or his boastful nature.
"I'm true to myself," Ryan told reporters after practice at the team's training center in Florham Park, New Jersey on Wednesday.
"I just build our guys up. If it's trash talking that I believe in our football team, then yes, I'm the biggest trash talker there is.
"I don't disrespect anybody else. I just have such a confidence in our football team.
"I'm just taking my team in and I expect to win."
Jets Pro Bowl center Nick Mangold said he appreciated Ryan's enthusiasm.
"That's what makes Rex awesome," Mangold told reporters. "He's not your typical head coach. He has a lot of fun. When you put it (the itinerary) out in front of people and tell them here's how it looks, it puts it in the back of your mind.
I always think people make too much of it. Isn't every coach and player supposed to believe they can beat anybody? A lot of people are more inward about these feelings, but anybody successful in the NFL or life has the same attitude. As Mangold says, it helps instill the same kind of confidence in the locker room.

Dreo Solaris Slim H3 Review
A neat fan heater with an integrated thermostat
Straightforward and now fuss, the Dreo Solaris Slim H3 Space Heater covers all the basics that you need for a fan heater, including a thermostat, so it can shut down automatically when the temperature has been reached. Neatly, the heater will adjust its power usage on the fly, reducing consumption when it's near the target temperature. Its fan-only mode isn't great, but this is a useful fan heater for a variety of rooms.
- Easy to use
- Dials down power usage automatically
- Thermostat helps save money
- No smart app
- Doesn't show the current temperature
Key Features
- TypeThis is a ceramic fan heater, with a cool only mode.
- ThermostatThis fan heater has a thermostat, so will turn off automatically when it reaches the target temperature.
Even fan heaters with a thermostat aren't necessarily the most power efficient, running at the heat setting you've set until they click off. The Dreo Solaris Slim H3 Space Heater ceramic fan heater is different, slowly dropping its power use as it closes in on the target temperature, helping to save money.
It's a decent heater, although a little basic in some respects and it doesn't have any smart features.
Design and features
- Neat cylindrical body
- On-body and remote control
- No smart features
A tall and thin cylinder, the Dreo Solaris Slim H3 Space Heater doesn't need much desk or floor space to stand on, yet it's big enough to deliver a wall of warm air out of its fan.
This model has no smart features, with everything you need to control it available via the control panel or small remote control. Having the remote is useful, but it would be nice to have somewhere to store it, say connecting it magnetically to the fan when it's not in use.
There are two modes of operation. First, is the standard heating mode, where there's a choice of three heat levels: H1, H2 and H3. With these modes, the heater will continuously output hot air.
With Eco mode, the fan's thermostat becomes available, with settings between 5°C and 35C°C available, showing on the fan's neat LCD display. After a few seconds of inactivity, the screen turns off. I'd slightly prefer it if the screen stayed on and showed the current temperature.
Once the fan has reached the correct temperature, it turns off automatically, saving power when you don't need heat; the fan will turn back on automatically when the temperature drops.
There's a timer, operating in one-hour increments up to 12 hours maximum.
If you want to sweep a room with heat, then the fan also has an oscillation mode, which operates at a 70° sweep.
Finally, there's a fan-only mode, which technically means that the Dreo Solaris Slim H3 Space Heater can be used all year around.
- Adjusts power on the fly
- Fan only mode not very powerful
Most fan heaters with a thermostat require you to choose the heat output, and then the heater turns off with the temperature has been reached. The Dreo Solaris Slim H3 Space Heater is smarter. In Eco mode, it adjusts the output temperature (and therefore power usage), based on the heat level required.
As the fan gets closer to its target temperature, it reduces the heat output. That's neat for two reasons: it saves energy (and money), and makes it less likely that the fan will overshoot the target temperature that you've set.
I found that the heater generally operated between 1kW and 1.5kW, when in Eco mode, turning off when required.
I found that it took only 15 minutes to raise the temperature of my office from 18°C to 21°C, using a total of 0.627kW of energy.
In fan only mode, the heater only pushed out air at 0.8m/s from 15cm. That's OK if you sit close to it, but buy a more powerful model, such as the Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool Formaldehyde if you want more powerful airflow in the summer months.
Latest deals
Should you buy it?
If you want a simple but capable fan heater: This model is powerful and covers all of the essentials.
Smart features: If you want smart controls, or a device that will work in the summer months, too, look elsewhere.
Final Thoughts
Covering all of the basics to heat your room effectively and efficiently, the Dreo Solaris Slim H3 Space Heater is a neat fan heater with an integrated thermostat.
I like its ability to reduce power consumption as it nears its target temperature. There are no smart controls here, and if you need them, the TCP Smart Heating Fan Heater Mini may be a better option or another model from my list of the best electric heaters.
How we test
Unlike other sites, we test every heater we review thoroughly over an extended period of time. We use industry standard tests to compare features properly. We'll always tell you what we find. We never, ever, accept money to review a product.
Find out more about how we test in our ethics policy.
Used as our main heater for the review period
We measure the fan speed (if available) using an anemometer so that we can accurately compare performance between models
We measure the heat output of the fan and its effect on our test lab.
No, this fan has to be controlled via the buttons on top or the remote control.
Yes, it can run in cooling only mode.
Yes, but the fan has to be put into Eco mode to use it.

Pregnancy myths: Sorting fact from fiction
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — We're looking into some of the myths moms-to-be hear during pregnancy.
Does a pregnancy really last nine months? Are early elective deliveries safe? Is it ok to have one glass of wine?
24 Hour News 8's Nina Criscuolo got the answers to those common questions straight from the experts.
According to data gathered in 2014, about 8 percent of mothers in Indiana will choose to deliver their babies before 39 weeks gestation, either through induction or a c-section. That number sky-rockets if you include mothers who chose to deliver between 39 weeks and their due date, which is at 40 weeks gestation.
Delivering before your due date is sometimes necessary, because of health complications with the baby or mother, but experts say choosing to deliver before natural labor can come with some serious side effects.
"There's an increased risk of morbidity and mortality and that's actually a health risk to the infant for any infant that's born prior to 39 weeks gestation. pre-term delivery is any delivery that's prior to 38 weeks and can actually cause health problems," Dr. Julie Daftari, medical director for UnitedHealthcare, said.
Doctors say babies born before 39 weeks are more likely than full-term babies to have trouble sucking, swallowing and staying awake long enough to eat, develop serious infections, have breathing problems, and have vision or hearing problems. So while mothers may be uncomfortable toward the end, doctors say it's really best to keep the bun in the oven up until about 41 or even 42 weeks. There are some other health factors and risks to consider if your pregnancy does go post-term.
Another myth is all babies must be delivered in a hospital. Most are, but a growing number of families are choosing alternative places to welcome their babies.
The use of birthing centers and home births are on the rise nationally and in Indiana. Between two and three percent of Hoosier moms are choosing to deliver away from a hospital. This does not include those accidental births in a living room or on the side of an interstate. These births are carefully planned and attended by midwives. Still, experts say there are risks to consider.
"It is important if you decide to go with a birthing center and the use of a midwife that you understand what the plan is and what the plan would be if there are any complications that would arise," Dr. Daftari said.
So while a birthing center or home birth is something you can consider, experts say you shouldn't think about having that glass of wine during pregnancy.
Recent research shows there is no safe level of alcohol use during pregnancy. Drinking even small amounts can be associated with birth defects, developmental delays and pre-term delivery.
The same goes for smoking. Smoking while pregnant increases the risk of pre-term deliveries, small babies, development problems. If that's something you're struggling with, experts say be honest with your doctors and they can help you with resources to stop smoking as soon as possible.
Finally, in recent years doctors have started to measure gestations in weeks, rather than months. The switch to 40 weeks gestation being full-term has many people wondering if pregnancy is really nine months or possibly closer to ten months.
If you do the math, nine months is about 274 days and 40 weeks is 280 days. But many people don't realize the first two weeks of those 40 are the follicular phase of the woman's menstrual cycle, which is prior to conception, so most women's actual pregnancies will last just shy of nine months. Most pregnancies last 37 to 42 weeks.

Mel Tucker has made his first coaching hire for the Colorado Buffaloes. After retaining Coach Chiaverini and Coach Hagan, two pretty obvious picks given their connection to the program and recruiting, Tucker brought in his first outside face in Jay Johnson.
Tucker knowns Johnson from their time together last year on the Georgia staff, where Jay was an offensive analyst. Prior to that, he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Minnesota for just one year in 2016. Stretching further back, he spent five years running a record-setting offense at University of Louisiana – Lafayette and worked at Kansas for three years as a QB coach, among other jobs. The reason that his Minnesota stay was so short was due to the player revolt under Tracy Claeys that ended with his entire coaching staff being let go, including Johnson.
Jay Johnson is a very nice fit for this coaching staff. Coach Chiaverini is a young recruiter at WR, Hagan is a RB coach by trade that generally operates as "CU legend", so an experienced play-caller and offensive mind was a must. Johnson runs a run-heavy offense that involved a lot of play-action and pistol formation, which is music to my ears. He was pretty wide open at ULL, but even at Lafayette, it was a run heavy offense. Personally, all I needed to hear was "pistol" and I was smitten. The pistol offense is a legendary football offense and gives the Buffs plenty of ways to attack a defense. The visions of physical football and thoroughbreds like Chris Brown and Bobby Purify dance in my head when I think of a hire like Johnson.
As a recruiter, he appears to be solid, but not spectacular. He obviously has deep Louisiana connections, re-iterating that Tucker wants to make that state a focus going forward. He is from the Midwest and has coached there for much of his career, so he may have deep connections there as well. He is not being hired for his recruiting, he is being hired for his near-decade of calling plays, mostly with success. Advanced stats do not like his ball-control offense, so his resume doesn't look great when you look at S+P or other efficiency metrics. Consistently, through the eye test, simple stats, and advanced stats, he has shown an ability to finish drives at an elite level. Once he gets inside the opponent's 40-yard line, the drives almost always end in points, which is refreshing after the year that Buff fans just endured.

A Look into the Year Ahead
Dear Colleagues,
I hope the first few weeks of the semester have gone smoothly! In the last Board Corner, I wrote about the importance of taking stock, listening, and acting. Indeed, the Board of Directors (BOD) is meant to "create a link between the membership and the operational association," as noted in our governance policies. In other words, do we as a Board understand the interests, concerns, and needs of our members? Are we facilitating awareness, interest, and engagement among the members of the AIR community? With your active engagement and input, the BOD will continue to make progress in serving as your ambassadors.
Take for example, the ongoing work of the Future of IR Committee. When it began in the 2022-23 Board year, the committee—which was composed of AIR community members and BOD members—considered the role of IR/IE within the context of the future of higher education over the next three to five years. The committee reviewed higher education literature, the work of other associations, data from the 2021-22 National Survey of Institutional Research Offices (NSIRO), the AIR Statement of Aspirational Practice for IR, and Board minutes, in addition to the rich qualitative input received through regional AIR and Affiliate Organization meetings. The conclusion of the first year of committee work yielded four critical issues for further inquiry, which were shared at the 2023 AIR Forum and are noted below.
- Demonstrate the Value of Institutional Research and Institutional Effectiveness.
- Promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
- Amplify Student and Institutional Success.
- Cultivate Leadership for the Institutional Research and Institutional Effectiveness Professional.
As you might imagine, each of these areas are highly interrelated. The most tangible way to demonstrate the value of IR/IE is to amplify institutional and student success. To do that well requires a commitment to creating diverse teams, equitable policies and practices, and inclusive environments that nurture success for our students, faculty, and staff. Cultivating evidence-based, equity-focused leaders within IR/IE is a key ingredient to scaling such approaches throughout our colleges and universities. Much of the work done by previous iterations of the BOD and the Nominations and Elections Committee (NEC), in partnership with members of the AIR community, such as an explicit commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion within our mission and governing principles, have set us up to take additional actions to advance our shared values.
So, how will we continue to advance and improve this year and beyond? I am excited to share how the BOD and NEC will focus its time, effort, and energy this year.
First, The Board will continue to leverage its ad hoc committees. This year, the Future of IR Committee will continue its work. Building on the four critical areas surfaced during the previous Board year, the committee will develop a summative set of ideas and possible actions to be undertaken by the Board or considered by the AIR Executive Director. Moreover, the committee will promote greater awareness and transparency within and among the community about the future of the profession and relevant programs and services offered by AIR. These ideas and actions will help to create a roadmap of recommendations and reforms that can help to strengthen our profession and amplify the impact of the work we do.
The work of the Future of IR Committee will also inform and be informed by the newly created AIR Volunteer Leadership Pathways Committee. This committee will generate a series of recommended actions for the Board focused on broadening opportunities for members to prepare for and learn about volunteer leadership on the BOD or NEC. The intent is to facilitate the expansion and diversification of the association's volunteer leadership pathways by removing barriers and/or creating new Board-sponsored programs. The work of the Volunteer Leadership Pathways Committee will unfold over an accelerated timeline, with the recommendations presented to the Board in early 2024.
This is truly exciting work that is built upon years of engagement between the BOD, the NEC, and the AIR community. It will take all of us to realize the full potential of the ideas and recommendations that surface throughout the remaining Board year.
I look forward to providing you with routine updates on the evolution of this work and invite you to share your thoughts and input by reaching out to me directly or any of the other Board or NEC members.
All the best,

One of the best ways to protect and encourage the power of film is to talk about them. If you like a movie, share it with others. It may not be what they are interested in, but they may go ahead and watch and have their opinion. Good or bad reviews mean the film is talked about, which will help preserve them.
Another way to protect and encourage would have people enjoy the movie with you. It could be at home or in a movie theatre. This gives everyone the experience, and they can appreciate the art or not. But again, it provides a voice to the film. It all comes down to word of mouth.
Save your time - order a paper!
Get your paper written from scratch within the tight deadline. Our service is a reliable solution to all your troubles. Place an order on any task and we will take care of it. You won't have to worry about the quality and deadlines
Order Paper NowThe last way to protect and encourage is to purchase films you like. We are in the streaming era, but you can still buy movies. When films do exceptional at the box office, all the other aspects of the film also do well. It could be the cast, music, directors, and even the people in charge of the sound. All of them benefit from the rewards of a great film. So, sales are another way to conserve films.
I want to encourage people to continue giving films a chance. People get upset with a producer, director, or company so they refuse to watch films associated with those groups. While it is sometimes understandable, in order for films to continue we must give new films a chance. I also want to look at the deeper meaning (if possible) in a film. Mainly, asking myself questions such as why is the music this way in this scene? Or, why is this scene physically darker than the previous scene? By looking deeper I can share hidden meanings with others which might spread an appreciation of the film. Finally, I want to continue to see films (though maybe not in theatres). If I have an excitement about new films, I can spread that to others. My future children will be exposed to new media. My partner will see films with me. Right now my boyfriend and I have a list of movies we want the other to see. We are exposing each other to films of our childhood.

The Stranger's Bethany Jean Clement takes one for the team this week as she heads to North Bend and orders some cherry pie and a cup of coffee made famous by the David Lynch television series Twin Peaks. Not only is the cafe called Twede's and not Double-R Diner, the pie is disgusting, according to BJC:
"This must be where pies go when they die"—Coop's line in Twin Peaks was meant in a good way, but this pie is on the verge of expiration. The crust is dry where it should be moist, compressed where it should be light, mealy where it should be flaky. The cherry filling is a lurid, unnatural red; it looks like artificial cherry flavor tastes, and the taste itself is overpowered by the gelatinous texture.
Surely the coffee is good, right? Perhaps. But its downfall is that it's never refilled. Once again, very un-Twin Peaks like.
Over at The Seattle Times, Providence Cicero checks out Ray's Boathouse post-revamp. The fancy new shine on the waterfront perch is a no-brainer, but the food? Says Cicero:
Primed by the scenery, pampered by a discerning staff and knowing that the bill wouldn't be small for the high-quality seafood that has always been Ray's hallmark, I had high hopes the kitchen would rise to the occasion. Overall it does, with a few missteps that only nitpicking restaurant critics might fault.
Nitpicking aside, the place still earned 3 stars in Cicero's book.

Leather, acetate fibers, or suede are textile materials that you should never put in the washing machine if you don't want them to get damaged. To help garments made from these fabrics last much longer and retain their original appearance, most manufacturers put dry cleaning instructions on their labels. If you are still not sure how to carry out this process, be sure to read the following OneHowTo.com article. On this occasion, we will explain how to dry clean a coat, one of the most delicate and difficult items of clothing to wash. Do you want to know more? Pay attention and discover the best methods for successful dry cleaning.
Steps to follow:
Step: 1
First of all, to dry clean your coat you must carefully observe its label. This is important to know both the material it is made of and to discover the best way to wash it without damaging it: If the coat is made of wool, silk, or cotton, the most recommended option will be to clean it by hand gently.
If it is made of leather, feathers, fur, or other similar materials or fragile fabrics, it is best to take it directly to a professional dry cleaner, who will dry clean it with the most appropriate products.
Step: 2
To dry clean and by hand, you should mix cold water with soap in a bucket. We recommend using a mild detergent to contribute to a non-aggressive wash for the material. Stir the mixture until it foams a little before inserting the coat.
Attention! The water should always be cold, never use hot water to dry clean as the fibers of the fabrics can be further damaged and even shrink.
Step: 3
Next, completely submerge the garment in the basin filled with cold water and mild detergent. Then lift it up and dip it back down. Repeat the movement a few times. If you notice that there is a dirtier area of the coat, such as the neck, gently rub the area with your fingertips. Once the dirt is well removed, rinse the coat with cold water. To do so, you can plunge it into another bucket of cold water repeatedly, until no soap comes out.
Step: 4
To remove all the accumulation of water, you will have to spread the coat on a towel. Roll it inside and squeeze gently so the towel absorbs any excess water. Do this with different towels, repeating the movement approximately 3 to 5 times, until the coat no longer drips water. Of course, try not to squeeze the garment, as you could damage the fabric. You must squeeze gently and delicately. Lastly, spread the coat out on a flat surface and let it dry.
Step: 5
If hand washing isn't your thing, we recommend cleaning your coat in the washing machine using a gentle cycle. Before starting the machine wash, you should make sure that your coat can be put in the washing machine without damaging the fabric. Generally, cotton, linen or polyester are materials that can be machine-washed.
Step: 6
Once you have checked the label on your coat and it is feasible to machine wash it, you should program a gentle wash cycle that uses cold water and also add a mild detergent to preserve the fibers of the fabric. Once the wash cycle is complete, remove the coat and hang it on a hanger to air dry. Fast and effective.
Step: 7
Finally, we recommend you get a dry cleaning kit that you will find in supermarkets. Normally these kits incorporate stain removers that do not damage fabrics, as well as bags to dry clean. You can try cleaning your coat using this method if it is made of silk or polyester, as long as they are not heavily stained. In case the dirt is very encrusted, the ideal will be to take the coat to the dry cleaner.
Step: 8
If you finally use the kit, the first thing you should do is apply the remover to the stain to soften the dirt and thus remove it more quickly. We recommend that you always test the product on a small area of the material to ensure that it will not damage it. In case the stains are very big, do not try to use the dry cleaning kit, since it will be much more work for you. Ideally, take it directly to the dry cleaner.
Step: 9
Once you have applied the remover to the stain, place the coat inside the bag and add the dry cleaning sheet that you will find in the kit. This sheet will give off perfume and also moisture that will help to freshen and clean the coat during washing.
Next, place the bag with the coat in the dryer and start a gentle cycle, with low heat. When the program is finished, remove the coat from the bag and hang it on a hanger to air out and finish drying completely.
Step: 10
Remember that if you find that you are unable to dry clean your coat and you are afraid of damaging the material, it is best to take it directly to a dry cleaner where professionals will leave your coat spotless, treating it with the most appropriate products.

Amnesty International has accused Ukraine of war crimes during its ongoing military conflict with invading Russian forces.
The humanitarian organization said in a release on Wednesday that the Ukrainian military's tactics "violate international humanitarian law and endanger civilians" by operating weapons out of bases established in residential areas while civilians are present.
Russia has previously been accused by Amnesty International of violating multiple international laws during the war. The organization on Wednesday said that Ukraine's alleged violations "in no way justify Russia's indiscriminate attacks."

Who's The Real Enemy?
Is there a fight you and your spouse keep having that you can never seem to resolve?
Over and over again, the SAME issue, the SAME feelings of frustration, anger, disagreement, the SAME disunity?
You try different solutions, but none solve the problem.
Hopelessness sneaks in as every effort made fails.
Take courage.
In this post, you will see that success is possible… even if your spouse does not change one single bit.
Let's start at the beginning
Remember the start of your marriage? Everything was going well, it even seemed perfect, right? We think, OUR marriage is different from everyone else's. We love each other so much, we get along so well, being married will be easy! Nothing is going to steal our affection for each other, our friendship, our future.
We don't even realize that what we have is steal-able.
But then it happens.
And the person we committed to love at any cost, doesn't look as desirable as they once did. Come to think of it, neither does our marriage.
When we believe the lie that our spouse is the one who has robbed us, we get stuck. We see each other as enemies, pointing our finger at our former best friend as the one to blame. The fighting and arguing are proof of our enmity.
A marital stand-off has ensued.
Who's the real enemy?
Have you ever considered that you're fighting the wrong person?
But- if not your spouse- WHO?
Remember part one of I'm Sick of Fighting with My Spouse!?
We looked at James 4:1 and discovered the source of our fighting: our own, unfulfilled, selfish desires.
It points out the fact that our spouse is not the enemy.
When we take off the greedy glasses that skew our vision, we see there are two wars occurring.
War One
We fight against the powerful desires that rage within us.
We buy into the lie that those desires will make us happy. When my husband/wife finally does what I want, I will be fulfilled!
Did you do your homework from the last post? If not, take a moment to do that right now.
Identifying your desires and wants, knowing where they come from and what you believe about them, will help you recognize that the battle is WITHIN.
Galatians 5:16-17 says, …let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other…
When we understand "War One," we can see our spouse as a fellow fighter alongside us, not an enemy. We become advocates together for a Godly mission- NOT a personal one.
Remember, the outward fights we have with our spouse are manifestations of the internal war raging in our heart.
Check out your list again.
If you listed something as a Biblical desire, support it with Scripture. If you can't, then it's not Biblical.
If you listed a desire in the "not wrong, but not sinful" category, dig deeper. Sometimes (not always) God will point out that your motivation behind it IS a sin proven by His Word; if so, move it to the sinful category. Search Scriptures on these "nonthreatening" desires until you're confident they are in their rightful place.
If you listed one of your desires in the sin category, use Biblical truth to help you see it clearly (John 8:32).
This list is not to be used as ammunition in a battle with your spouse, but to disarm YOU. These desires reveal our hearts; they must be addressed Biblically. Don't fool yourself into thinking they're okay lying dormant in your heart. What they are doing is not benign, they can grow like a malignant cancer unless we seek a cure.
War Two
Unlike the inward battle we face, this one rages outside.
But it's still NOT against our spouse!
Check out what the following passages tell us about who we are battling in War Two:
Ephesians 6:12 Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
1 Peter 5:8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
Spiritual warfare is real; burying our heads in the sand about the issue only gives the enemy more advantage. He loves to sneak, deceive, trick, and hide in the dark. Therefore, God tells us to STAY ALERT!
For more information on spiritual warfare, check out THIS great resource.
It's Satan's desire to convince you that you deserve to have all your desires fulfilled. You have the right to that satisfaction, and anyone standing in your way is an enemy.
So, we detach ourselves from our spouse and stand alone.
Guess what? That is exactly where Satan wants us: isolated and fighting against our spouse.
If your relationship is slowly dying, now you know what's killing it. It is not a mystery.
If the enemy has you tied up in a war with your beloved, open your eyes. It is NOT you against him/her. It is BOTH of you against your own flesh and the powers of this world.
How did we get here?
How does this happen?
Why do we believe the lies of the enemy rather than the truth of God and His Word?
The answers are simple. Because:
Vow to change: an encouraging call to action
Your spouse is NOT the enemy.
We battle against our own selfishness and against the external powers of this world.
Your homework this week is simple. Read the following passages and write down all that God has provided to equip us in battle as we fight War One and War Two.
War One (Internal):
War Two (External):
He has made us more than conquerors in Him (Romans 8:37). That's how much He loves us.

Now that we know what and who we are battling, we must deal with our deep desires.
We can't just wave a magic wand and make them disappear.
In the next post, we'll look at an action plan for handling those deep, pressing desires.
