Bipartisan Framework for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (original PDF here)
From Senators Chuck Schumer, John McCain, Dick Durbin, Lindsey Graham, Robert Menendez, Marco Rubio, Michael Bennet, and Jeff Flake
We recognize that our immigration system is broken. And while border security has improved significantly over the last two Administrations, we still don't have a functioning immigration system. This has created a situation where up to 11 million undocumented immigrants are living in the shadows. Our legislation acknowledges these realities by finally committing the resources needed to secure the border, modernize and streamline our current legal immigration system, while creating a tough but fair legalization program for individuals who are currently here. We will ensure that this is a successful permanent reform to our immigration system that will not need to be revisited.
Four Basic Legislative Pillars:
1. Create a tough but fair path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants currently living in the United States that is contingent upon securing our borders and tracking whether legal immigrants have left the country when required;
2. Reform our legal immigration system to better recognize the importance of characteristics that will help build the American economy and strengthen American families;
3. Create an effective employment verification system that will prevent identity theft and end the hiring of future unauthorized workers; and,
4. Establish an improved process for admitting future workers to serve our nation's workforce needs, while simultaneously protecting all workers.
1. Creating a Path to Citizenship for Unauthorized Immigrants Already Here that is Contingent Upon Securing the Border and Combating Visa Overstays
- Our legislation will provide a tough, fair, and practical roadmap to address the status of unauthorized immigrants in the United States that is contingent upon our success in securing our borders and addressing visa overstays.
- To fulfill the basic governmental function of securing our borders, we will continue the increased efforts of the Border Patrol by providing them with the latest technology, infrastructure, and personnel needed to prevent, detect, and apprehend every unauthorized entrant.
- Additionally, our legislation will increase the number of unmanned aerial vehicles and surveillance equipment, improve radio interoperability and increase the number of agents at and between ports of entry. The purpose is to substantially lower the number of successful illegal border crossings while continuing to facilitate commerce.
- We will strengthen prohibitions against racial profiling and inappropriate use of force, enhance the training of border patrol agents, increase oversight, and create a mechanism to ensure a meaningful opportunity for border communities to share input, including critiques.
- Our legislation will require the completion of an entry-exit system that tracks whether all persons entering the United States on temporary visas via airports and seaports have left the country as required by law.
- We recognize that Americans living along the Southwest border are key to recognizing and understanding when the border is truly secure. Our legislation will create a commission comprised of governors, attorneys general, and community leaders living along the Southwest border to monitor the progress of securing our border and to make a recommendation regarding when the bill's security measures outlined in the legislation are completed.
- – While these security measures are being put into place, we will simultaneously require those who came or remained in the United States without our permission to register with the government. This will include passing a background check and settling their debt to society by paying a fine and back taxes, in order to earn probationary legal status, which will allow them to live and work legally in the United States. Individuals with a serious criminal background or others who pose a threat to our national security will be ineligible for legal status and subject to deportation. Illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes face immediate deportation.
- We will demonstrate our commitment to securing our borders and combating visa overstays by requiring our proposed enforcement measures be complete before any immigrant on probationary status can earn a green card.
- Current restrictions preventing non-immigrants from accessing federal public benefits will also apply to lawful probationary immigrants.
- Once the enforcement measures have been completed, individuals with probationary legal status will be required to go to the back of the line of prospective immigrants, pass an additional background check, pay taxes, learn English and civics, demonstrate a history of work in the United States, and current employment, among other requirements, in order to earn the opportunity to apply for lawful permanent residency. Those individuals who successfully complete these requirements can eventually earn a green card.
- Individuals who are present without lawful status – not including people within the two categories identified below – will only receive a green card after every individual who is already waiting in line for a green card, at the time this legislation is enacted, has received their green card. Our purpose is to ensure that no one who has violated America's immigration laws will receive preferential treatment as they relate to those individuals who have complied with the law.
- Our legislation also recognizes that the circumstances and the conduct of people without lawful status are not the same, and cannot be addressed identically.
For instance, individuals who entered the United States as minor children did not knowingly choose to violate any immigration laws. Consequently, under our proposal these individuals will not face the same requirements as other individuals in order to earn a path to citizenship.
Similarly, individuals who have been working without legal status in the United States agricultural industry have been performing very important and difficult work to maintain America's food supply while earning subsistence wages. Due to the utmost importance in our nation maintaining the safety of its food supply, agricultural workers who commit to the long term stability of our nation's agricultural industries will be treated differently than the rest of the undocumented population because of the role they play in ensuring that Americans have safe and secure agricultural products to sell and consume. These individuals will earn a path to citizenship through a different process under our new agricultural worker program.
2. Improving our Legal Immigration System and Attracting the World's Best and Brightest
- The development of a rational legal immigration system is essential to ensuring America's future economic prosperity. Our failure to act is perpetuating a broken system which sadly discourages the world's best and brightest citizens from coming to the United States and remaining in our country to contribute to our economy. This failure makes a legal path to entry in the United States insurmountably difficult for well-meaning immigrants. This unarguably discourages innovation and economic growth. It has also created substantial visa backlogs which force families to live apart, which incentivizes illegal immigration.
- Our new immigration system must be more focused on recognizing the important characteristics which will help build the American economy and strengthen American families. Additionally, we must reduce backlogs in the family and employment visa categories so that future immigrants view our future legal immigration system as the exclusive means for entry into the United States.
- The United States must do a better job of attracting and keeping the world's best and brightest. As such, our immigration proposal will award a green card to immigrants who have received a PhD or Master's degree in science, technology, engineering, or math from an American university. It makes no sense to educate the world's future innovators and entrepreneurs only to ultimately force them to leave our country at the moment they are most able to contribute to our economy.
3. Strong Employment Verification
- We recognize that undocumented immigrants come to the United States almost exclusively for jobs. As such, dramatically reducing future illegal immigration can only be achieved by developing a tough, fair, effective and mandatory employment verification system. An employment verification system must hold employers accountable for knowingly hiring undocumented workers and make it more difficult for unauthorized immigrants to falsify documents to obtain employment. Employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers must face stiff fines and criminal penalties for egregious offenses.
- We believe the federal government must provide U.S. employers with a fast and reliable method to confirm whether new hires are legally authorized to work in the United States. This is essential to ensure the effective enforcement of immigration laws.
- Our proposal will create an effective employment verification system which prevents identity theft and ends the hiring of future unauthorized workers. We believe requiring prospective workers to demonstrate both legal status and identity, through non-forgeable electronic means prior to obtaining employment, is essential to an employee verification system; and,
- The employee verification system in our proposal will be crafted with procedural safeguards to protect American workers, prevent identity theft, and provide due process protections.
4. Admitting New Workers and Protecting Workers' Rights
- The overwhelming majority of the 327,000 illegal entrants apprehended by CBP in FY2011 were seeking employment in the United States. We recognize that to prevent future waves of illegal immigration a humane and effective system needs to be created for these immigrant workers to enter the country and find employment without seeking the aid of human traffickers or drug cartels.
- Our proposal will provide businesses with the ability to hire lower-skilled workers in a timely manner when Americans are unavailable or unwilling to fill those jobs.
- Our legislation would:
Allow employers to hire immigrants if it can be demonstrated that they were unsuccessful in recruiting an American to fill an open position and the hiring of an immigrant will not displace American workers;
Create a workable program to meet the needs of America's agricultural industry, including dairy to find agricultural workers when American workers are not available to fill open positions;
Allow more lower-skilled immigrants to come here when our economy is creating jobs, and fewer when our economy is not creating jobs;
Protect workers by ensuring strong labor protections; and,
Permit workers who have succeeded in the workplace and contributed to their communities over many years to earn green cards.

How the SECURE 2.0 Act Changed 529 Plans
How the SECURE 2.0 Act Changed 529 Plans
Changes to 529 Plans in the SECURE 2.0 Act
The SECURE Act was initially passed by Congress at the end of 2019 and was intended to improve retirement savings opportunities. It was a big deal at the time and the most significant piece of retirement legislation since the 2006 Pension Protection Act.
Congress came together to pass SECURE 2.0 at the end of 2022 to build on this popular legislation and clarify some of its provisions.
The SECURE 2.0 Act includes 92 new provisions designed to promote savings, add incentives for businesses to offer retirement plans to their employees, and provide more overall flexibility to those saving for retirement.1
While increasing the starting age for required minimum distributions to 73 made the headlines, another important change for those saving for college was the addition of an option to move the unused portion of a 529 plan to a Roth IRA. But several criteria are involved in this process, and eligibility requirements must be met.
529 Basics
A 529 plan is an education savings account that allows parents, grandparents, other relatives, or friends to save money that will be used for a child's education.
These investment accounts became mainstream in the mid-1990s as a way for people to save for future education expenses when the assets would be used to pay for qualified education expenses for a designated beneficiary. Originally geared exclusively to pay for college, 529s have been expanded to pay for K –12, private and religious schools, trade schools, graduate programs, and some international institutions.
A 529 plan is a college savings plan that allows individuals to save for college on a tax-advantaged basis. The state tax treatment of 529 plans is only one factor to consider before committing to a savings plan. Also, consider the fees and expenses associated with a particular plan. Whether a state tax deduction is available will depend on your state of residence. State tax laws and treatment may vary. State tax laws may differ from federal tax laws. Earnings on non-qualified distributions will be subject to income tax and a 10% federal penalty tax.
529 Plans Explained
With a 529, after-tax contributions are invested in an account that can be used to pay for qualified education expenses. For example:
- Housing—Campus housing expenses, including college room and board fees, can be paid through 529 distributions. Off-campus housing rentals qualify up to the cost of room and board on campus.
- Books and Supplies—Paper, pens, and textbooks required by a specific course are qualified expenses. Schools set budget limits for books and supplies.
- Needs and Services—Special needs equipment and services qualify for 529 distributions. Students using mobility equipment may be eligible for 529 distribution purchases. Depending on the circumstances, other modes of transportation may also apply.
Also, keep in mind that a 529 plan account holder may qualify for a state tax benefit, depending on where they live. More than 30 states and the District of Columbia offer some type of tax deductions or tax credits for 529 plan contributions.2
Under the old rules, any leftover funds in a 529 plan after the designated student graduates or leaves college would be subject to a tax penalty and a withdrawal penalty if the remaining assets were liquidated for non-qualified expenses. However, the owner was allowed to transfer the 529 plan to another beneficiary, who could use it for their education expenses.3
SECURE 2.0 Act Changes for 529s
The new rule, which goes into effect in 2024, allows a 529 account holder to move money to a Roth IRA account under certain conditions. The main benefit of this new rule is that it removes some of the uncertainty regarding whether your kids will need the 529 money or whether you may have overfunded the account.
To qualify for the tax-free and penalty-free withdrawal of earnings, Roth IRA distributions must meet a five-year holding requirement and occur after age 59½. Tax-free and penalty-free withdrawals can also be taken under certain other circumstances, such as the owner's death. The original Roth IRA owner is not required to take minimum annual withdrawals.
Moving a 529 to a Roth IRA4
- This part of the SECURE 2.0 Act becomes effective after December 31, 2023.
- The 529 plan must have been open for a minimum of 15 years.
- Changing beneficiaries to another student may restart the 15-year clock.
- The owner of the Roth IRA must be the beneficiary of the 529 plan (meaning the student).
- Any money moved from a 529 plan into a Roth IRA account will be subject to the Roth IRA annual contribution limits. The Roth IRA contribution limit in 2024 is scheduled to be $6,500, with an extra $1,000 allowed for individuals over age 50.
- The lifetime limit is $35,000.
This article is for informational purposes only and is not a replacement for real-life advice. There are some additional criteria that go along with the updated rules, so it's best to speak to a financial or tax professional who has a detailed understanding of the state plan you are considering.
Paying for College
In 2021, the average cost for a year of college, including tuition, fees, room, board, and other expenses, was $35,551. That's about $142,000 for a four-year degree.5
Footing the higher education bills of your children or grandchildren may seem daunting, but it can be within reach with the right type of preparation.
The SECURE 2.0 Act significantly changes 529 plans, offering more flexibility and choices for families saving for education. We have helped many clients create college savings strategies for their children and grandchildren. It's a specialty of ours, and it's one of the more rewarding aspects of the services we provide.
If you're considering a 529 plan, we may be able to help. Our professionals can provide more detailed information about 529 plans and offer guidance and insight into the state plan you are considering. We look forward to hearing from you.

The Local newsletter is your free, daily guide to life in Colorado. For locals, by locals. Sign up today!
With more than 3,000 dentists practicing in Colorado, finding a dentist is easy. But finding one that you like and trust with your pearly-white smile can be more than daunting, especially if you need a practitioner with specific skills. From molars to incisors and cuspids, your 32 permanent teeth need constant—and often specialized—care. Even if you brush twice a day and never skip a checkup, you'll need a different type of dentist to soothe your aching gums than the one who will perform your first root canal and the general dentist that cleans your teeth every six months.
No matter what type of dentist you are looking for, the following list of Denver's top dentists, compiled with the help of topDentists, a company that gathers listings of the best dentists across the nation, makes the process of choosing easy. Think of it as a personal referral from other dentists—practitioners across the state evaluated their peers based on a number of factors, including experience, professional affiliations, and manner with patients. The nominated dentists were then reviewed by the state dental board for disciplinary actions to ensure that each is in good standing.
The result is our list of the area's top 297 dentists, sorted by specialty and location. And while many other qualified dentists are not included on this list, the next time you're under a blinding light and hear a drill starting up, you can relax—at least a little—knowing that your smile is in good hands.

The ambiance created by the ATG dual blinds in our B777 and A380 aircraft First and Business Class cabins is beyond what I had envisioned. We receive constant raves from our customers
Sir Timothy Clark, KBE
President, Emirates Airline
Innovative use of the latest technologies has enabled ATG to design shade systems that offer smooth, quiet, reliable operation while also being the lightest available. The smart, sleek design elegantly enables control of natural light into the cabin through individual translucent and blackout shades. And an array of colors and materials, as well as the ability to custom etch the lens, gives OEM designers greater creative freedom.
ATG offers the industry's longest warranty and our products have demonstrated the industry's highest reliability. Nonetheless, if maintenance is required, ATG's fully field-serviceable units feature a modular design enabling ultra-quick component replacement. And the newest ATG designs integrate the shade cassette and its mounting system, allowing power-on "hot-swap" replacement of a complete shade assembly in a matter of seconds – and in many cases without tools.
Certified on more than 30 different aircraft, ATG's shade systems exceed both airline and aircraft OEM standards for certification, reliability and maintainability. Our products have undergone extensive testing to gain OEM and regulatory agency approvals, and are manufactured and sold under FAA Parts Manufacturing Approval (PMA).

Take your cruelty-free cooking to the park, the beach and wherever else you're picnicking this summer. Loaves of bread stuffed with veggies and vegan pesto, spicy tempeh sushi rolls, fruity strawberry cocktails and coconut custard pie with spicy papaya sauce are just a few of the dairy-free dishes you could be enjoying on your summer adventures. From appetizers to dessert, these fresh, flavorful and creative vegan picnic recipes will impress even your most skeptical omnivore friends and family.
Antipasto-Stuffed Picnic Loaf
(image via: dailymail)
Stuff a partially hollowed-out loaf of bread with all of your favorite fillings, wrap it up and refrigerate it overnight with a heavy weight on top for condensed picnic sandwiches that won't fall apart when you try to eat them. This version by The Daily Mail layers pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, artichoke and mozzarella – omit the cheese, use soy cheese or grilled marinated tofu instead or substitute another favorite vegan ingredient like avocado, kalamata olives, roasted red peppers or hummus.
Blueberry Mint Lemonade
(image via: expatrecipe)
Sweet and refreshing, this super-simple recipe for blueberry mint lemonade is the perfect accompaniment to a vegan picnic spread. Sugar and mint leaves are cooked down into a syrup, mixed with lemon juice and served over ice cubes and a handful of tempting ripe blueberries. Use raw sugar instead of white sugar to make it 100% vegan-friendly. Two more delicious non-alcoholic vegan options: canteloupe agua fresca and green apple sparkler.
Fresh Flavorful Pasta Salad
(image via: fat free vegan)
Pasta salad appears at practically any summer event, yet it's almost always hiding a dairy product, whether mayonnaise, butter or cheese. Vegan versions, however, can be just as flavorful. Check this vegan pasta salad recipe from Fat Free Vegan, which utilize fresh summer produce of all sorts, spicing it up with garlic and cider vinegar. Another version, from Serious Eats, punches up the flavor even more with olive tapenade and capers (omit the anchovies, of course!)
Strawberry-Lime Cupcakes
(image via: sushi♥ina )
Strawberry lime is one of the most delicious flavor combinations of summer. To create a vegan version of tasty strawberry-lime cupcakes, substitute lime juice for the vinegar in the vegan strawberry cupcake recipe at Eggless Cooking and slather on some vegan 'buttercream' frosting. Garnish with strawberry and lime slices. You can also punch up the flavor by mixing a teaspoon of lime zest into the frosting recipe.
Veggie Pinwheels

Vegetable pinwheels are a fun alternative to plain old wraps and sandwiches and can be made with any of your favorite veggies. You just spread a mixture of vegan cream cheese and finely diced vegetables onto wheat lavash or tortillas, roll them up, slice them and wrap each resulting 'pinwheel' individually. Another option switches out the cream cheese and diced raw vegetables for hummus and grilled veggies.
No-Chicken Salad

Missing the mayo-soaked tang of chicken salad? You can recreate it with zero animal ingredients, either with 'mock chicken' or chickpeas. Try simply substituting vegan mayo and a faux chicken product like Quorn in a standard chicken salad recipe, or check out this chickpea salad recipe which pairs soft spiced chickpeas with the satisfying crunch of celery and the sweetness of red grapes.
Vibrant Vegan Potato Salad

Pretty much any potato salad can be made vegan by omitting dairy-based mayonnaise – be creative! Many potato salad recipes use vinaigrette and/or mustard instead of mayo to dress the veggies, or you could just use vegan mayonnaise. Try adding dill and pickles for a flavor boost, and toss in any veggies you have laying around.
Mushroom Pate

Vegan Cooking demonstrates how to make a super-easy mushroom pate with onion, garlic, sliced mushrooms in the variety of your choice and sunflower seeds. A little nutritional yeast deepens the flavor and adds plenty of B vitamins. This spread would be delicious with crackers or toasted baguette rounds.
Dairy-Free Banana Bread

Post Punk Kitchen offers up the ultimate vegan banana bread recipe, which comes out sweet and moist with a chewy crust. Try slathering it with vegan double chocolate sauce or dairy-free vanilla frosting.
Chilled Israeli Couscous Salad

Israeli couscous is similar to common couscous, but with a larger grain, so it's a little heartier – perfect for chilled salads. This recipe from Fat Free Vegan balances sweet and savory with cucumber, baby greens, herbs, tomato, avocado and sliced ripe apricots.
Spicy Tempeh 'Sushi' Rolls

Want to get a little fancier than sandwiches and salads? It would be pretty impressive to present some vegan sushi rolls at the beach or on the trail. Post Punk Kitchen stuffs spicy tempeh, green scallions and sushi rice into sheets of nori to produce flavorful finger food.
Ripe Tomato Basil Bruschetta

So fresh, so simple, so evocative of summer – what's not to love about bruschetta? Chop three medium-sized tomatoes, 1 vidalia onion and 2 heaping teaspoons of fresh basil leaves. Toss with a tablespoon of high-quality extra-virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar; salt and pepper to taste. Spoon this delicious mix onto sliced rounds of toasted baguette.
Strawberry Fizz Cocktail

Another perfect summery beverage to pair with vegan picnic food is the 'Strawberry Fizz' cocktail by barmaster Mike Ryan of Chicago's Sable Kitchen & Bar. Gin, freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup and a strawberry is all it takes to whip it up.
Raw Vegan Pesto with Zucchini Ribbons

This cheesecake-like custard pie is brimming with tropical flavors like coconut, lime and papaya. A homemade oat-spelt crust contains a creamy no-bake filling made with coconut milk and silken tofu. The clear sea vegetable agar-agar gives it a custard-like texture, and the whole delicious thing is topped with fresh spicy papaya sauce.

CLEVELAND — Jurors deciding whether a breakaway Amish group committed hate crimes in beard- and hair-cutting attacks on fellow Amish focused on the conspiracy charge Wednesday, the fourth day of deliberations.
The U.S. District Court jury in the trial of 16 Amish reconvened and promptly asked the judge if a conspiracy could involve just some of the defendants.
Judge Dan Aaron Polster told the jury that a conspiracy wouldn't necessarily need to involve all nine victims in the five attacks or all 16 defendants. Defense attorneys argued that the indictment specified a plot against nine victims, but Polster overruled them.
The indictment charges the defendants with conspiring to cause bodily harm to the victims. The judge said that if all 12 jurors agree that the government proved a conspiracy, the jury then must separately decide who plotted.
The government calls the attacks hate crimes based on religious difference. The defense says it was an internal church dispute and doesn't rise to a criminal level.
Prosecutors say the defendants cut off Amish men's beards and women's hair because the hair carries spiritual significance in their faith. They could face lengthy prison terms if convicted.
Defense attorneys acknowledge that the haircuttings took place and that crimes were committed but contend that prosecutors are overreaching by calling them hate crimes.
All of the defendants are members of Sam Mullet Sr.'s settlement, which he founded in eastern Ohio near Steubenville.
Mullet isn't accused of cutting anyone's hair. But prosecutors say he gave his sons directions to the home of a bishop whose hair was chopped off and mocked the victims in jailhouse phone calls.
The government said all of the victims were people who had had a dispute with Mullet over his religious practices and his authoritarian rule over the settlement he founded.
Some of the defense attorneys said the haircuttings were motivated by family feuds or that the defendants were trying to help others who were straying from Amish beliefs.

The idea of "information supply" is very close to the idea that I spend my time working on and advocating, information personalization and recommendations. From the abstract for Andrei's talk:
The goal of Web IR will widen to include the supply of relevant information from multiple sources without requiring the user to make an explicit query.A Yahoo Research page, "Toward the Next Generation of Search", elaborates on Andrei's thoughts on personalization of information, saying:
[We can] supply relevant information specific to a given activity and a given user, while the activity is being performed. A prime example is the matching of ads to content being read, however the information supply paradigm is starting to appear in other contexts such as social networks, e-commerce, browsers, e-mail, and others.
Andrei Broder ... foresees pushing search toward information supply: serving up answers to users' questions that they haven't even typed in a search box.Andrei has given what appear to be similar versions of this talk over the last year. For example, here are slides (PDF) from a May 2006 talk titled "From query based Information Retrieval to context driven Information Supply". I wrote about that talk back in June 2006.
Worry not, users; this isn't mind reading. But with statistical analysis of people's surfing habits and creative algorithms, we ... hope to figure out users' intents and understand their context, so we can supply them with useful information.
It could get displayed in a variety of ways, such as recommended links or intelligent, personalized footnotes dynamically served up on the bottom of a Web page.
"It's a little bit of the 'push' paradigm," Broder says, but he says the way the information is presented to users is key, so that it is unobtrusive but useful.

Pragri is a Sindhi sweet specially made during the Holi festival. It is somewhat like gujiya with mawa filling but the outer covering is multi-layered, flaky and very crispy. It needs a lot of patience to make this sweet as it is time consuming. The frying has to be done on very low flame. For best results use only desi ghee or dalda. The oil does not give the required crispiness to the layers.
All these years I was living away from India and missed these traditional dishes. This Holi I decided to make pragri at home. I have childhood memories of preparing all these traditional sweets with my grandmother. I would sit next to her assisting her with all the preparations which is why I am able to make all these goodies now. She would explain everything to me in detail while making and give me all the tips. I am really happy that the pragris have come out nice and crispy as they should be. I make the satpura sweet very often. The procedure of pragri is somewhat similar.
For the outer covering:
Maida ............. 2 cups
Desi ghee ....... 2 tbsps
Water ............ for kneading ( I use cardamom flavoured water)
For the Paste:
Maida ........ 1/4 cup
Desi Ghee or Dalda ... 4-5 tbsps
For the syrup:
Sugar ...... 1 and 1/2 cups
Water ...... 1 cup
Green cardamoms .... few
Saffron ........ few strands
Rose water .... 1 tbsp or Rose essence - 2-3 drops
For stuffing :
Sweet mawa ....... 1/4 kilo ( I used the store bought ready mawa )
To make mawa at home see the recipe - HERE
Almonds .... few chopped
For Garnishing:
Rose petals ... handful (fresh or dried)
Silver varq .... as needed
For Frying:
Dalda or Desi Ghee
(You may use oil if you want to avoid using these)
To make the sugar syrup put the water and sugar in a pan. Bring to a boil and add the saffron strands, split green cardamoms and allow it to simmer until it is thick. Switch off the gas and add the rose water or essence as mentioned.
Take the maida for the outer layer, add the ghee and knead with the cardamom flavoured water to make a soft dough. Cover and set it aside for resting.
Make the paste by mixing 1/4 cup maida and 4-5 tbsps ghee.. It should be of the spreading consistency (like butter at room temperature)
Now take the dough and make tiny portions rolling 4-5 at a time.
Roll them out like tiny roundels of the same size
Now with your finger tip spread the paste on each one.
Place them one on top of the other until you finish 4 of them. Cover the 5th one on top without the paste as you are again going to roll them together.
Carefully roll out the bunch of 5 roundels together to make them bigger one about the size of a puri.
Spoon the sweet mawa in the middle and add some chopped almonds. Using your finger apply a little water or milk around the mawa so that it gets sealed when you fold it.
Fold the pragri carefully pressing the portion around the mawa with your finger. Take care not to seal the edges as they should puff up when you fry it.
Now heat the ghee or dalda or oil for frying. Reduce the flame and drop the pragri carefully. Using a pair of kitchen tongs try to open up the edges of the pragri with light hands. Don't overdo it as it might open up completely.
Turn it few times and fry on very low flame until it is very crispy and golden.
Repeat this process to make and fry all the pragris. Now dip them in the sugar syrup nicely and remove on a plate.
Place them in a serving platter and garnish with silver varq and rose petals. You can store them in a clean dry container after they are completely cold.

The whole "New Year" thing is a totally foreign concept to me. There are all these expectations for New Year's Eve to be the "BEST TIME EVER!" and it never is. Generally, it's just like a regular night out, but 10000x busier (so you can NEVER get to the bar) and you have to pay to get in everywhere! Even pubs!!! Everyone is on a mission to get completely off their faces and everyone scrambles to find someone to kiss at midnight. I had plans to go to a couple of parties in my village, but since I've fallen ill it looks like I'll be staying in! I don't mind too much though - I stayed in last year too (which did not impress the boyfriend I had at the time, but oh well!)
Then there's resolutions - if there's something you don't like about yourself or your life, why wait until January 1st to do something about it? The first day of your new life can start whenever you choose.
Saying that, here are my life (not New Year's) resolutions!
And that is exactly what I am going to do.

By DEB RIECHMANN and AAMER MADHANI Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The helicopters flew low and fast into the night, ferrying U.S. special forces to a compound where Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was hiding in Syria. Half a world away, President Donald Trump watched the raid in real time via a video link as troops blasted into the hideout and sent the most-wanted militant running the last steps of his life.
The daring raid was the culmination of years of steady intelligence-gathering work — and 48 hours of hurry-up planning once Washington got word that al-Baghdadi would be at a compound in northwestern Syria.
The night unfolded with methodical precision and unexpected turns. This reconstruction is based on the first-blush accounts of Trump and other administration officials eager to share the details of how the U.S. snared its top target, as well observations from startled villagers who had no idea al-Baghdadi was in their midst.
Events developed quickly once the White House learned on Thursday there was "a high probability" that al-Baghdadi would be at an Idlib province compound.
By Friday, Trump had military options on his desk.
By Saturday morning, the administration at last had "actionable intelligence" it could exploit.
There was no hint of that interior drama as Trump headed to Camp David on Friday night to celebrate the 10th wedding anniversary of daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Then he was off to Virginia on a brisk fall Saturday for a round at one of his golf courses.
He teed off with Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, in town for the World Series, and Sens. Lindsey Graham and David Perdue.
Trump got back to the White House at 4:18 p.m. By 5 p.m., he was in a suit in the Situation Room in the basement of the West Wing to monitor the raid. They named it after Kayla Mueller, an American humanitarian worker abused and killed by al-Baghdadi.
The rest of Washington had its focus on Game 4 of the World Series about to get underway a few miles away at Nationals Park.
Moments after the White House team had gathered, U.S. aircraft, mostly twin-rotor CH-47 helicopters, took off from Al-Asad air base in western Iraq.
Within hours, al-Baghdadi was dead.
The first inkling that something was afoot came when villagers saw helicopters swooping low on the horizon.
"We went out in the balcony to see and they started shooting, with automatic rifles. So we went inside and hid," said an unidentified villager. Next came a large explosion — Trump said soldiers blasted a hole in the side of a building because they feared the entrance might have been booby-trapped. Al-Baghdadi fled into a network of underground bunkers and tunnels that snaked through the compound.
The stout, bearded militant leader wore a suicide vest and dragged along three children as he fled from the American troops.
Trump, happy to play up the drama, said that as U.S. troops and their dogs closed in, the militant went "whimpering and crying and screaming all the way" to his death.
"He reached the end of the tunnel, as our dogs chased him down," Trump said. "He ignited his vest, killing himself and the three children."
Al-Baghdadi's body was mutilated in the blast, and the tunnel caved in on him. To get to his corpse, troops had to dig through debris.
"There wasn't much left," Trump said, "but there are still substantial pieces that they brought back."
That's when the military raid turned into a forensics operation — and the special forces had come prepared.
They had brought along samples of al-Baghdadi's DNA.
The soldiers who conducted the raid thought the man who fled looked like al-Baghdadi, but that wasn't enough. Various accounts had heralded his death in the past, only for him to surface yet again.
This time there could be no doubt.
Lab technicians conducted an onsite DNA test to make sure and within 15 minutes of his death, positively identified the target.
"It was him," Trump said.
Al-Baghdadi's body wasn't all they retrieved.
Trump said U.S. troops remained in the compound for about two hours after al-Baghdadi's death and recovered highly sensitive material about the Islamic State group, including information about its future plans.
After the American troops retreated, U.S. fighter jets fired six rockets at the house, leveling it.
Trump was so excited he couldn't contain himself.
He hinted of the successful military operation late Saturday by tweeting obliquely that "something very big has just happened!" White House spokesman Hogan Gidley announced the president would make a "major statement" Sunday morning.
That sent reporters in Washington and the Middle East scrambling, and news organizations soon confirmed that U.S. forces believed they had killed America's most-wanted man.
It was a measure of the strained atmosphere in Washington that two top Democrats — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Adam Schiff, who heads the House intelligence committee — didn't get a heads-up from Trump about the operation.
Trump didn't trust them to keep it secret.
"Washington is a leaking machine," Trump said. In this case, he said, "there were no leaks, no nothing. The only people that knew were the few people that I dealt with."
Trump chose the Diplomatic Room to make his big announcement on Sunday.
In announcing al-Baghdadi's death, he leaned into comparing the successful operation with the 2011 mission to kill 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden.
While bin Laden orchestrated the deadliest militant attack in U.S. history, the killing of al-Baghdadi — who helped the IS group at its height control more than 34,000 square miles of territory in Iraq and Syria — was "the biggest there is," Trump said.
Reveling in the moment, Trump spent more than 45 minutes speaking and taking questions about the raid.
By late Sunday afternoon, Trump's reelection campaign was ready to turn the raid into political capital. It sent a text to supporters that said, "Trump has brought the #1 terrorist leader to justice-he's KEEPING AMERICA SAFE."
Associated Press writers Sarah El Deeb in Beirut, Qassim Abdul-Zahra in Baghdad and Nancy Benac in Washington contributed to this report.

What's the difference between conventional dentures and immediate dentures?
Complete dentures are called "conventional" or "immediate" according to when they are made and when they are inserted into the mouth.
Immediate dentures are inserted immediately after the removal of the remaining teeth. To make this possible, the dentist takes measurements and makes the models of the patient's jaws during a preliminary visit.
An advantage of immediate dentures is that the wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing period. However, bones and gums can shrink over time, especially during the period of healing in the first six months after the removal of teeth. When gums shrink, immediate dentures may require rebasing or relining to fit properly. A conventional denture can then be made once the tissues have healed. Healing may take at least 6-8 weeks.
What is an overdenture?
A removable denture that fits over a small number of remaining natural teeth or implants. The natural teeth must be prepared to provide stability and support for the denture. Your dentist can determine if an overdenture would be suitable for you.
What will dentures feel like?
New dentures may feel awkward for a few weeks until you become accustomed to them. The dentures may feel loose while the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place.
It is not unusual to experience minor irritation or soreness. You may find that saliva flow temporarily increases. As your mouth becomes accustomed to the dentures, these problems should diminish. One or more follow-up appointments with the dentist are generally needed after a denture is inserted. If any problem persists, particularly irritation or soreness, be sure to consult your dentist.
Will dentures make me look different?
Dentures can be made to closely resemble your natural teeth so that little change in appearance will be noticeable. Dentures may even improve the look of your smile and help fill out the appearance of your face and profile.
Will I be able to eat with my dentures?
Eating will take a little practice. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces. Chew slowly using both sides of your mouth at the same time to prevent the dentures from tipping. As you become accustomed to chewing, add other foods until you return to your normal diet.
Continue to chew food using both sides of the mouth at the same time. Be cautious with hot or hard foods and sharp-edged bones or shells.
Will dentures change how I speak?
Pronouncing certain words may require practice. Reading out loud and repeating troublesome words will help. If your dentures "click" while you're talking, speak more slowly.
You may find that your dentures occasionally slip when you laugh, cough or smile. Reposition the dentures by gently biting down and swallowing. If a speaking problem persists, consult your dentist.
How long should I wear my dentures?
Your dentist will provide instructions about how long dentures should be kept in place. During the first few days, you may be advised to wear them most of the time, including while you sleep. After the initial adjustment period, you may be instructed to remove the dentures before going to bed. This allows gum tissues to rest and promotes oral health. Generally, it is not desirable that the tissues be constantly covered by denture material.
Should I use a denture adhesive?
Denture adhesive can provide additional retention for well-fitting dentures. Denture adhesives are not the solution for old, ill-fitting dentures. A poorly fitting denture, which causes constant irritation over a long period, may contribute to the development of sores. These dentures may need a reline or need to be replaced. If your dentures begin to feel loose, or cause pronounced discomfort, consult with your dentist immediately.
How do I take care of my dentures?
Dentures are very delicate and may break if dropped even a few inches. Stand over a folded towel or a basin of water when handling dentures. When you are not wearing them, store your dentures away from children and pets.
Like natural teeth, dentures must be brushed daily to remove food deposits and plaque. Brushing helps prevent dentures from becoming permanently stained and helps your mouth stay healthy. It's best to use a brush designed for cleaning dentures. A toothbrush with soft bristles can also be used. Avoid using hard-bristled brushes that can damage dentures.
Some denture wearers use hand soap or mild dishwashing liquid, which are both acceptable for cleaning dentures. Avoid using other powdered household cleansers, which may be too abrasive. Also, avoid using bleach, as this may whiten the pink portion of the denture.
Your dentist can recommend a denture cleanser. Look for denture cleansers with the ADA Seal of Acceptance. Products with the ADA Seal have been evaluated for safety and effectiveness.
The first step in cleaning dentures is to rinse away loose food particles thoroughly. Moisten the brush and apply denture cleanser. Brush every surface, scrubbing gently to avoid damage.
Dentures may lose their shape if they are allowed to dry out. When they are not worn, dentures should be placed in a denture cleanser soaking solution or in water. Your dentist can recommend the best method. Never place dentures in hot water, which could cause them to warp.
Ultrasonic cleaners are also used to care for dentures. However, using an ultrasonic cleaner does not replace a thorough daily brushing.
Can I make minor adjustments or repairs to my dentures?
You can seriously damage your dentures and harm your health by trying to adjust or repair your dentures. A denture that is not made to fit properly can cause irritation and sores.
See your dentist if your dentures break, crack, chip, or if one of the teeth becomes loose. A dentist can often make the necessary adjustments or repairs on the same day. A person who lacks the proper training will not be able to reconstruct the denture. This can cause greater damage to the denture and may cause problems in your mouth. Glue sold over-the-counter often contains harmful chemicals and should not be used on dentures.
Will my dentures need to be replaced?
Over time, dentures will need to be relined, rebased, or remade due to normal wear. To reline or rebase a denture, the dentist uses the existing denture teeth and refits the denture base or makes a new denture base. Dentures may need to be replaced if they become loose and the teeth show signs of significant wear. Dentures become loose because a mouth naturally changes with age. Bone and gum ridges can recede or shrink, causing jaws to align differently. Shrinking ridges can cause dentures to fit less securely. Loose dentures can cause health problems, including sores and infections. A loose denture also makes chewing more difficult and may change your facial features. It's important to replace worn or poorly-fitting dentures before they cause problems.
Must I do anything special to care for my mouth?
Even with full dentures, you still need to take good care of your mouth. Every morning, brush your gums, tongue and palate with a soft-bristled brush before you put in your dentures. This removes plaque and stimulates circulation in the mouth. Selecting a balanced diet for proper nutrition is also important for maintaining a healthy mouth.
How often should I schedule dental appointments?
Your dentist will advise you about how often to visit. Regular dental check-ups are important. The dentist will examine your mouth to see if your dentures continue to fit properly. The dentist also examines your mouth for signs of oral diseases including cancer
With regular professional care, a positive attitude and persistence, you can become one of the millions of people who wear their dentures with a smile.

Spiritual Adoption of Unborn Human Life
Over 30 years ago a court decision was rendered which legalized abortion throughout the entire nine months of pregnancy. This decision, Roe v. Wade, is the reason over 1 million abortions have been committed in the U.S. each year
To help stop the anti-life push around the world, the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen encouraged the spiritual adoption of an unborn child. This is done by praying that the one particular but unknown child's life be spared abortion and be allowed to continue to live.
To help accomplish this, it was recommended an individual say the following daily prayer for a period of nine months.
Your prayers CAN make a difference between whether a baby will be born...or aborted. Our prayers can also be a form of spiritual support for both of the parents. Please share the love of life given to you by the Lord of all life and join in spiritually adopting a baby.

Rove Connections Turn Into Political Ammunition
Once the Texas GOP's go-to campaign strategist, Karl Rove has become something of a boogeyman for campaigns on both sides of the ballot in the 2014 election cycle.
For years, the Fox News pundit and famed political consultant was widely viewed as one of the most powerful people in politics, playing a central role in the Republican Party's rise in Texas and advising George W. Bush both in the Governor's Mansion and the White House. His name has long served as Democratic shorthand for sneaky political tactics.
That dynamic has resurfaced in the gubernatorial fight between Democrat Wendy Davis and Republican Greg Abbott, with the Davis campaign negatively linking Abbott and Rove to spur fundraising. But more recently, Rove's image has soured among some conservatives unhappy with his involvement in some contentious Republican primaries around the country. In the eyes of many Tea Party activists, Rove repeatedly chose to support the more moderate candidate on the ballot. Now, Rove's connections to U.S. Sen. John Cornyn are being used by some of his primary challengers in an attempt to undermine his conservative bona fides.
"I don't think anybody on the conservative Tea Party front would go toward a candidate who's connected to Karl Rove," said Dwayne Stovall, one of seven Republicans challenging Cornyn this year. "I think he's kind of worn out his welcome with the Tea Party."
Rove declined to comment for this story.
On Monday, Rove introduced Cornyn at a campaign rally in Longview.
"Don't let anything stop you from voting for this man," Rove said at the rally, according to the Longview News-Journal. "His colleagues like him a lot and respect him enormously. We need a new leader to rein in the president for the remaining three years of his presidency, and that man is our senator from Texas, John Cornyn."
Stovall and U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, another of Cornyn's primary challengers, have made comments online in recent weeks linking Cornyn with Rove, hoping to raise questions about Cornyn's conservative credentials.
"John Cornyn emerged from Karl Rove's office and voted for six more weeks of Obamacare funding," Stockman tweeted on Groundhog Day this month.
Stockman has also accused a pro-Cornyn Super PAC, Texans for a Conservative Majority, of being a Rove invention. His campaign has noted that on some records filed with the Federal Communications Commission, the Super PAC has listed an address in the same building in Virginia as Rove's American Crossroads PAC. A spokeswoman for Texans for a Conservative Majority said Rove has no involvement in the group.
Asked about his opponents' criticisms in Houston on Tuesday, Cornyn said candidates are making too much of his connections to Rove.
"I would say those are straw men," Cornyn said. "The truth is, Karl's not involved in my campaign other than appearing as a guest in an event in Longview. He's been a friend of mine for a long time."
Rove's name has also been invoked negatively by Davis' gubernatorial campaign. On Fox News late last month, Rove spoke critically about inconsistencies in how Davis has described her life story. Rove said Davis was "trying to make herself the victim" by accusing Abbott's campaign of orchestrating a Dallas Morning News story that sparked controversy over the issue.
Within days of the interview, Davis' campaign began mentioning Rove in fundraising emails.
"We can't stop Karl Rove and his friends from making wild accusations in the press," Davis wrote in a campaign fundraising email on Feb. 7. "All we can do is come together to push back against them."
The campaign hosted a one-day fundraising drive called the "Karl Rove Pushback" and worked to align the famed consultant with Abbott.
"Karl Rove is a huge player in the special interests scene. … All he cares about is getting his ally, Greg Abbott, elected in November at all costs," Davis campaign manager Karin Johanson said in another campaign email.
Asked why the Davis campaign mentioned Rove in fundraising emails, spokesman Rebecca Acuña said, "Greg Abbott and Karl Rove believe that a governor should answer to special interests. Senator Davis will ensure that every Texan has a voice — not just those who write big campaign checks."
When asked if the Abbott campaign has a relationship with Rove, spokesman Avdiel Huerta declined to say but argued that Davis was trying to distract voters.
"It's not surprising that Sen. Davis would rather talk about our supporters because she doesn't want to talk about the issues like her support for Obamacare and restricting gun rights," Huerta said. "Texas won't be fooled."

Predan Bird
Have you ever touched wooden figurines made by Predan Holzgestaltung? It's something you won't forget. They smell divine, are incredibly smooth and almost feel soft to touch.
Predan Wooden Toys are known for their whimsical shapes, solid design and meticulous production.
Georg Predan and his team focus on enhancing and preserving the natural characteristics of the wood and its grain by sanding, polishing and oiling each piece with a lot of love and care. The result, each piece is unique and beautiful by nature.
PLEASE NOTE: The unique variations in colours and grains are proof of quality, NOT defects. Just like in nature, every piece will be unique.
- Specifications
- Safety & Usage
- Predan
Made in: Germany, meticulously handcrafted - each piece is cut, sanded and finished by hand
Materials: Each figure is made from a single piece of European solid wood with varying grains and colours such as Sycamore Maple, Yew, Staghorn Sumac, and Elm - 20 native varieties in total - all sustainably harvested from local forestry
Dimensions: W 5cm (approx.)
Weight: 5g -
Recommended age: 3+ years
WARNING: Not suitable for children under 36 months. Choking hazard due to small parts.
Safety: A small amount of Predan Wooden Toys are finished with food-grade linseed oil and non-toxic, spittle-proof, plant-based and environmentally friendly wood stains, completely safe for your child. -
Georg Predan founded Predan Holzgestaltung in 1972 and has since designed a large variety of wooden animals, trees and shrubs as well as people and fairy-tale figures. Every manufacturing step that turns a piece of timber into a wooden toy is made by hand - from the moment the timber arrives until the finished products leave the workshop in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany.

The Predan Difference
Have you ever touched wooden figurines made by Predan Holzgestaltung? It's something you won't forget. They smell divine, are incredibly smooth and almost feel soft to touch.
Predan Toys aren't made in the same way that most other brands are. They are not cut by machines into identical shapes, they are cut by eye. Each piece is cut, sanded and painted by hand. The colour finishes are rarely consistent, with natural wood markings commonly showing through. Predan is beautifully imperfect and natural, just like nature and every piece will be unique. We call this perfect imperfection 'The Predan Difference' and it is this that separates them from other toy makers, and makes a Predan collection a truly heirloom toy.
The unique variations are proof of quality, NOT defects. Wood grain has changing structures and colours which serve as proof of its natural origins. Celebrate the diversity and unique characteristics of your Predan piece of nature!
Coloured by Nature
When you look at Predan Wooden Toys, you may notice the large range of differently coloured figurines. The different trees the wood comes from is responsible for the different colours - Sycamore Maple trees are known for their white timber, Yew trees for their orange, Staghorn Sumac for their green and Elm trees for their brown timber. Georg and his team use more than 20 different kinds of native and locally grown timber, mainly hardwood, to create their beautiful figurines. All the wood is sustainably harvested from Predan's local area.
Where you do see a Predan figure painted, it has been painted with a non-toxic, plant-based stain that is good for the environment and completely safe for your child (even with saliva!)

IL Toscano was started in 1985 with the idea that Long Island desperately needed a restaurant with top-level cuisine. Why were Long Island Restaurants so lacking in intensity and flair? What was missing from so many places was the knowledge of preparing exceptional food and a passion to make it happen. Mauro Privilegi knew he could use his skills, which were cultivated at an early age working on the Italian line cruise ships, where he learned that good cooking came from using what was fresh, what was seasonal and what was the best ingredients on hand that day. Once in the United States, Mauro began working at the Hotel Pierre in New York City. The experience and knowledge he gained while working 19 years at this 5 Star Hotel made him yearn for the chance to live the American Dream and open his own restaurant.
IL Toscano Ristorante is a dream come true for Mauro and his family. His Son, Alex Privilegi is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. He lived in Montefollonico, Italy for one year where he sharpened his skill and his drive to bring new and innovative ideas to the restaurant while still maintaining the old world Northern Italian style of cuisine.
Mauro and Alex find great pleasure in continuing to serve exceptional food in a beautiful atmosphere in their one and only location where every night you can find either Mauro or Alex paying close attention to every detail.
Enjoy dining al fresco in our custom built outdoor gazebo. Our indoor dining rooms are also spacious and comfortable.
