Flames licked the air, roasting the fish Gaston had caught. With a few coconuts, the fish made for a good breakfast, enough to almost make them forget they had barely eaten for the past several days.
When they finished eating, Gaston announced they needed to build a shelter. He asked Frederica to gather as many palm fronds as she could find. The smaller ones could be used for the fire, and the larger ones could be used to make the shelter.
Far out at sea, the sky looked ominous, as if a storm were brewing. It might pass them by, or they might be in for a deluge. Liking the idea of a dry cover, she headed into the jungle to fetch the materials they would need.
"And if you see any string or rope, bring that," Gaston called.
She spent the morning bringing palm fronds and any large sticks she found back to the beach. Stopping to take a break, she saw Gaston hauling a large tree branch out of the woods. The muscles in his back flexed as he worked. He was intently focused on the job at hand and didn't seem to notice her watching him.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that without Gaston here to guide her, she would still be hungry. She wasn't sure she would have been able to find water on her own either. She felt a rush of gratitude towards him as she realized she would have been lost without him.
Gaston came over and showed her how to weave the palm fronds together. The result would be a woven makeshift tarp that would serve as the roof for their shelter. She sat in the shade and worked on the project for the better part of the afternoon. The rumbling in her stomach finally grew loud enough that she spoke up and told Gaston she was hungry.
"I'll go catch some fish. Tend the fire while I'm gone." He touched her chin briefly then gathered his fishing gear and walked barefoot into the sea.
Though her hands were tired and achy and her fingers nicked by the rough edges of the husks and leaves, she continued working. It was important to finish the task Gaston had given her because she didn't want to disappoint him.
When he returned, he said, "You're doing a nice job there, Frederica. Good girl."
His words made her flush. Something about his praise touched a special place inside her and made her want to please him more and more.
Gaston cleaned and cooked four small fish. Famished, they ate without much conversation. When they finished eating, Gaston gave her a crooked smile and asked her to bring him the various pieces of rope they'd found discarded in the jungle.
She found the pile and carried it to him.
"We'll need this for building the shelter, but first, I have another idea." A wicked grin spread across his face.
"What are you up to?" She scrunched her nose at him.
"When Humphrey had you tied up on that ship, I desperately wanted to ravage you right then and there."
"You did?"
He nodded. "I liked seeing you all tied up and helpless."
He stood up and whispered in her ear, "I want to tie you up and do despicable things to you."
He smelled of sweat and the sea breeze, and her breath caught in her throat. "Like what?"
He chuckled softly in her ear. "Would you like to find out?"
"Yes," she said, trembling with anticipation.
"Yes, what?" he prodded.
"Yes, Master." Uttering the words turned her on.
"Are you too sore from yesterday?" he asked. "I don't want to hurt you."
"A little, but I'm alright."
"Can you trust me, Frederica? You will have to…"
She wrapped her arms around his neck. "How could I not? You saved my life, and now you're keeping me alive here on this island." She touched her lips to his. He invaded her mouth, his tongue darting in and out, a rehearsal of what she knew would come. "I trust you with my life."
He tugged at her clothing and nibbled her ear, his beard tickling her lightly. He yanked off the gold chain she wore around her waist, and her skirt fell to the ground. Pulling her petticoats down, he watched as she lifted her shimmy over her head.
"So beautiful," he said, gazing at her naked body. Cupping her breast in his hand, he knelt before her to suckle it. Fondling the other one, he glided his fingers over her nipples and they hardened under his touch. She tasted salt as his mouth ruthlessly captured hers, taking possession of what was his.
He picked up the rope, a gleam in his eye. "Turn around. I want your back to me."
She obeyed, experiencing a jolt of nerves in her stomach.
"Hands behind you," he said gruffly.
Taking her wrists, he wrapped them in the rope they'd found, probably washed ashore over the years, remnants from shipwrecks. He draped the rope around her wrists several times, binding them tight, but not uncomfortably so. Being bound like this was a completely different experience than it was on the ship when she'd been bound as a prisoner by strange men. This was a sensual experience. She felt as though, by binding her wrists together, he was binding her to him, and she was confident he would do her no harm.
"On your knees." He held her elbow, supporting her as she sank to her knees.
Moving in front of her, he stroked his erect penis. Her mouth watered at the sight, and though she had no true frame of reference, she thought his must be of good size. It was difficult to imagine a larger one.
"Service me, wench, with that luscious mouth of yours," he said, taking her head in his hands.
She licked her lips, then parted them, giving him access. His cock bobbed in her face and she reached her tongue out to lick him. He thrust his hips closer to her and she sucked the head into her mouth.
Running her tongue up and down the length of his shaft, she coated him with her saliva, making it easier for him to slide in and out of her mouth. She longed to clutch his buttocks, but that was impossible with her hands tied behind her back. A frustrated little yowl escaped her throat.
"What's that?" he sounded amused. "How do you like your bondage?"
She bobbed her head slightly and emitted some agreeable garbled sounds.
He patted her atop the head as one would praise an adored pet. "Good girl."
Something about his words made her pussy cream with delight.
Still hard, he withdrew from her mouth. "I want you to bend over with your bottom in the air, face down."
She looked at him, confused. Did he want her to plant her face right in the sand?
Noticing her concern, he added, "Here, I'll help you." Holding her by the shoulders, he assisted her.
One cheek in the sand, her ass humiliatingly exposed, Frederica experienced a thrill mixed with apprehension. What would he do to her next?
She felt his wet, warm tongue licking at her sex, and she began to wiggle.
"Hold still!" he barked. "You will learn to be still and take whatever I give you."
"Yes, Master."
"That's better." Thwack! He smacked her rear end. The sting of his palm drowned out all other sensations.
"Sir, what did I do? Why are you spanking me?"
He ran a hand smoothly over her smarting bottom. The gentle caress felt so divine after the harsh blows, she melted into the sand.
"I'm going to give you a great deal of pleasure, my dear. But first you have to earn it."
"Yes, sir."
He moved to her other cheek, setting it on fire with several sharp staccato strikes.
She whimpered softly into the ground, hoping he wouldn't hear them. If he did, he chose not to make an issue of it.
He gave her a few more whacks on her posterior, then brushed his hands over her hot, aching globes. She sighed with relief and relished the delicious strokes of his fingers across her bum. His silky caresses lulled her into a trancelike state, and she was awakened by his cock, insistently nudging at the opening to her cunt. She groaned, eager for him to enter her.
His cock rubbed up and down her folds, driving her more and more wild with desire. Then, to her surprise, he spread apart her bottom cheeks. She felt something at the entrance to her exit door.
"No!" she shrieked involuntarily and struggled to get up.
"Frederica!" he said sharply. "Stop it this instant."
"Frederica, do you trust me or not?"
She steeled herself. "Yes, Master. I'm sorry."
"Can you behave?"
"Yes, Master," she whined.
"Good. See that you do."
His erection pressed against her again, and she felt him position himself at the very edge of her opening. Then something wet invaded her ass, giving her an uncomfortably full feeling. She squirmed and tried to look back over her shoulder, curious what it was.
"Relax," he said.
After he said that, she tried her best to hold still. The object, which she guessed was his finger, moved slowly inside her, then slowly retreated. At first her bottom rejected the intrusion, but after a few minutes, she found the sensation became pleasurable as her hole stretched to accommodate him moving inside her.
The carnal desire inside of her built and built until the heat between her legs felt ready to ignite. She wanted nothing more than for him to fill her, plant his pole inside her, and transport her body to that state of bliss he'd so recently introduced her to.
"Please," she whimpered.
"What was that?" he asked, pretending not to hear.
"Please," she spoke slightly louder.
"What is it you want, my dear?" his voice was hoarse with a lust of his own.
"I want to feel you inside me," she admitted.
He continued to tantalize her, tracing the edges of her wet little slit with the head of his cock. The tip rubbed relentlessly against her clit, making her cry out, "Please, Master!"
He stroked her hair. "You have been a good girl." Then he shoved inside her pussy with a force that surprised her. His cock had already been coated in her juices, so the full length invaded her upon the first plunge. She caught her breath and realized that if she hadn't already been on the ground, he might have knocked her over.
He clutched her hips and thrust hard into her. She felt the end of him tap her cervix, and her muscles clamped down on him. The way he took her from behind, like an animal, stirred new feelings inside her, making her feel a part of something as old as time itself.
He poured his passion into her, pumping his hips, bringing her closer to exploding with each motion. Then he reached around and pinched her clit, rubbing it between his fingers. The sensation was at the same time intense and heavenly, and she felt herself falling away into the ecstasy.
"That's it. Let go and come for me," he growled.
With a primal shudder, she allowed her body the release it craved. Behind closed eyes, bright glittery colors flashed before her, a kaleidoscope of ecstasy, courtesy of her lover. She twitched and groaned, wishing she could hold him close but restricted by her bonds. He pushed into her a few more times before he spilled into her well-loved channel.
Later, when untying her wrists, he asked, "So, are you glad you trusted me?"
"Yes, Master." With free hands she reached up and clutched him to her, kissing him with the vigor of a well-satisfied woman.
They collapsed in each other's arms, spent. Within minutes, Gaston was snoring. Contented, she curved her body to fit his and drifted off.

Part of Costera "Falls in" from Heavy Rains
(Acapulco, NA 23 June) Yesterday morning, around 2:00 am, approximately 100 feet of one lane of the Costera Alemán caved in as an indirect result of the heavy rains. A 40-year-old pumping substation for sewer water and storm drainage burst beneath the surface, presumably from the excess load of the heavy rainwater. This made the soil so weak, that when a Pemex fuel truck, with over 5,000 gallons of fuel, crossed over the pavement, the whole lane collapsed into the large ditch below it. The truck then turned over, complicating matters further. Police closed the lane, which is the one closest to the median, heading westbound, in the block near the Torres Gemelas and the former location of Acapulco Charlie's. Traffic backed up for hours in both directions as a result.
Repairmen from CAPAMA were dispatched to repair the pumping station and to patch the roadway as quickly as possible. As of 1:00 pm yesterday, traffic was moving slowly in both directions, but only in one lane in each direction. Mayor Manuel Añorve Baños told the press that repairs would take about two days, working around the clock. He also said that experts were studying the remainder of the Costera to detect where similar repairs might be called for, on a preventive basis.

Common Mistakes When Renting Office Space
UPDATED: August 23, 2013
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right legal decisions.
We strive to help you make confident law decisions. Finding trusted and reliable legal advice should be easy. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
If you're considering renting office space for your business, it is essential to understand that the commercial lease is a contract. Once you enter into the business relationship with your landlord, you will be bound by the terms of this lease agreement. So, do your investigation ahead of time, to be sure this lease fits your business needs.
Common Mistakes in Renting Office Space
Mistakes can be costly and can determine the success or failure of your business. So before renting office space for your business, avoid these common pitfalls.
Mistake #1: Downplaying the Role of Insurance
Check your lease to see if your rent includes insurance. If not, you may be required to purchase coverage. You will usually want renter's insurance to cover your inventory, equipment, files, and your other business assets. But, before you purchase coverage, examine your lease. Some office leases will cover certain types of damage, such as those caused by the building itself being in disrepair. Others cover absolutely nothing and leave all insurance costs up to you, the renter. This means that before you buy a renter's insurance policy, you will want to talk to your landlord. Maybe you can negotiate more insurance coverage in your lease. Maybe your lease "as is" adequately protects your business assets.
Mistake #2: Failing to Examine All Clauses in the Lease
Carefully read all the provisions of your lease so you understand the terms, and there are no misunderstandings. You are held legally responsible for these clauses, so be sure you understand the meaning of the terms. Ask a lawyer, an insurance carrier, and/or your landlord for any clarity. And, be certain that everything negotiated with your landlord is laid out within the lease. If it's not in writing, you may not get what was orally promised. So, if the landlord is responsible for the heating bill, or if your cost per month includes parking, make sure it's in writing.
Mistake #3: Not Considering Future Needs
Renting office space can be tricky because it sometimes difficult to predict your future business needs. Renting the proper amount of space, in a location that suits the business, is sometimes a gamble. The property owner does not share in your risk-taking, and it won't be the landlord's problem if the office turns out not to suit your needs. If you signed a contract, it's your space until the lease terminates. Many renters fail to take this seriously and assume they can withdraw from a lease if it turns out to be a poor fit for their businesses. However, you as the business tenant cannot easily break the lease. Some leases state the business can assign or sublet to another commercial tenant. But, this ability to transfer your lease to another might not be a provision in your particular lease. Alternatively your business could be thriving and you want to renew your lease. Check the terms to see if your lease offers this option to renew.
Getting Help Renting Office Space
Signing a lease on office space for your business is an exciting step. Just remember to watch for the common pitfalls listed above. Before you sign, have a real estate lawyer review the lease agreement to ensure that you understand all the clauses and obligations contained within the lease.

We're home. Home, sweet home. The kids and I had a great time visiting Steve in West Virginia over the past week or so, but I am definitely glad to be back. As much as I hate leaving Steve I'm happy for simple pleasures like being able to take a long, hot shower and stretch out in my big bed and know where everything is in the pantry.
It really is the little things.
I've got lots to share about our trip but it'll keep. Tomorrow we start to get Sam packed up for summer church camp and make a list of what he needs that we have to pick up on our next trip to town.
For now? Sweet, sweet sleep.

This week, I took on a task to fix some buggy table headers on my company's highly trafficked website. The webpages in question had a table that, when scrolled vertically, stuck the table header to the page top, so you could still see the headings for the data you were viewing. The bugs were:
- The sticky header wouldn't scroll horizontally along with the table underneath it.
- On mobile, the sticky headers' columns and the table columns would misalign.
I figured out that the sticky header was generated by a jQuery library introduced into our codebase some 4 years ago. This library cloned the HTML header and dynamically set the column widths equal to the widths of the table's columns. However, on mobile screens, the cloned header seemed to stop "obeying" the jQuery function, and its column widths would shrink further than those of the table.
At our sprint retrospective, I spoke up about the challenges I experienced in resolving the bugs listed above. My colleague Doug then asked, "Who wrote the code for these sticky headers from hell?" We all looked over at Andrew, who threw his hands up and replied, "Hey, I saw a library; it seemed to do the job, so I threw it in there. I didn't code nothing - check the PR out, it's a large block of green for the library I dumped in."
I half-expected Doug to respond that since Andrew was to "blame" for the now-buggy original jQuery code, he should at least work with me to fix the issues. But that is not the turn our meeting took. Instead, we started discussing the possible reasons for the bugs We created a list of possible avenues I could investigate for a solution. We brainstormed other ways of presenting those tables without cloning the header row, and decided that further conversations about it should involve our Design teammates.
It was refreshing seeing how every teammate assumed the responsibility of figuring out how to fix the issues. Very little time was spent on "who did this? why did they do it? who approved what they did?" Much more time was spent on generating several approaches for dealing with the issues, as well as how to update our documentation to avoid similar issues from arising in the future. My team takes on dozens of tickets and issues every sprint, so none of us are lacking for work. However, thankfully, there is little territorialism among us; regardless of the person officially assigned to a ticket, it's EVERYBODY'S ticket. We constantly draw on each other's time and strengths, working as a unit to make collective progress during each sprint.
I learned this week that a blame-focused work environment does very little to promote confidence, transparency and growth. Rather, it places everyone involved on the defensive, defines people by their mistakes instead of their improvements, and breeds the compulsion to constantly cover one's butt. However, a focus on team ownership produces a breathable work environment, where errors are readily embraced as learning opportunities and any weak links are compassionately reinforced.

World Poetry Day
Someone invisible is omnipresent
Someone wakes you, keeps asleep
Someone in flashback is back
Someone is there in backdrop
Someone leaves scars so deep
Someone mum, and never speaks
Someone uses the eyes to speak
Silence turns noisy and unbearable
Someone forces you to deliver
The words scattered here and there
You gather them together, make alive
The words enter your womb And so inside the poetry takes shape And one day a poem is delivered Thus a poem is born, poem is born
(Someone here is the hurdles and the sorrows in life. Sometimes these are of extreme nature. And so they turn positive in a way.The bad period torn us but it gives a learning.)

I'm especially puzzled by the manufacturer's use of the F-22 Raptor's visage on their front page; are they suggesting that their products are used in defense applications as well? (If so, where are their certifications?) God help us.
What does the "factory" pin do? Who knows, it's a mystery!

Christmas Turkey, Ham, Goose and More to Order from the Avoca Butchers
Whatever you're serving up this Christmas, the Avoca Butchers look forward to helping you pull off the perfect festive feast. We've worked hard over the past year to source and support some of the finest ethical farmers and producers in Ireland. We have discussed welfare, quality of feed, and the right to roam freely in orchards, fields and mountain pastures. We are passionate about who we work with, and are proud to be offering the very best of Irish organic, free range and artisan produce to your home this festive season. Check out a taster of what's on offer below, or click here to see the full selection including prices, size guides and more. Available to order from both our Monkstown and Dunboyne locations. To place an order, call 00353 1 903 1200 for Dunboyne or 00353 1 202 0230 for Monkstown to speak to one of our experienced butchers. If it's turkey you're after, our organic bronze hen turkeys are reared by Corina Mount Charles on her family farm in Co. Meath, where they roam freely and are fed an organic grain diet. We're also lucky enough to have Eoin Sharkey rear his free range bronze turkeys exclusively for Avoca - that's him in the top left photo. The turkeys are free to forage and roam on the farm which is just half an hour down the road from our Dunboyne store – it's hard to get any more local than that. If you fancy serving up free range goose or duck, we have both from Tony and Mary Walshe's farm in Co. Kilkenny. They are even used in some of the top restaurants in Ireland. We also have Arndale Farm free range bacon and pork. Exclusive to the Avoca Butcher, we are very proud that this supplier has been awarded the Good Pig Award – one of only two in the whole of Ireland. We think that's pretty special. We have Dexter beef reared for the Avoca Butcher by Basil Valentine, a fourth generation farmer based in Co. Kildare. If you like, our passionate butchers can even age your beef for up to 60 days for you. We're also thrilled to offer the Calvey family's Achill island mountain lamb this Christmas and New Year. "Heather Sweetened and Seaside Seasoned", the flavour of this lamb is a testament to the Calvey family's passion and dedication to their craft.

Television, Movie and Play Reviews
Reviewed by Cherie Jung
Cast: Rebecca De Mornay, Antonio Banderas, Dennis Miller.
Director: Sir Peter Hall
De Mornay portrays a criminal psychiatrist who is attracted to a stranger played by Antonio Banderas. It soon becomes evident that someone is stalking De Mornay as she works on a case involving whether or not a suspect in a serial rape case is mentally fit to stand trial.
Since I know that Antonio Banderas is capable of outstanding acting, I have to consider the director at fault for this lack- luster performance. Banderas is actually pretty boring as the most obvious suspect in the stalking matter. Not as boring, however as the rendition Rebecca De Mornay gives as the terrified victim.
And the only people in the audience who won't know the "twist" that is coming half an hour or so before it gets there will be those hearty souls who made a trip to the concession stand or restroom during the film's heavy-handed "hints."
Except for a few insignificant variations, this film was done much better in an earlier release called "Separate Lives" which cast Linda Hamilton in the psychiatric role and James Belushi in the ex-cop, role.
Linda Hamilton and Rebecca De Mornay portray very similar characters - both have long blonde hair, work as a psychologist/psychiatrist, have repressed memories, abusive fathers, difficulties maintaining relationships, and half a dozen or so other similarities. Banderas's character claims to be an ex-cop. Belushi's character is an ex-cop. Only the cities are different. Oh, yes. And the Dennis Miller character is a replay of the character he portrayed in "The Net" with Sandra Bullock.
For diehard Banderas fans, you do get a shot of his butt.

Every day in the Koch Gallery for European Paintings and Hanoverian Silver at the Museum of Fine Arts, an opera singer – dressed in an elaborate Japanese robe – randomly selects visitors and delivers "the gift of song," standing only about 12 feet away.
What would you do if a stranger approached and asked, "Would you like the gift of song?"
When that happened to Elizabeth Kiff as she looked at a Van Gogh painting in the Museum of Fine Arts, she looked startled and doubtful, "You mean, like right now?" she asked.
A minute later, Kiff sat in a wooden chair and listened to professional opera singer Beibei Guan expressively sing a Schubert lieder directly to her, her beautiful soprano voice filling the gallery and causing others to stop and watch. Quincy resident Christina Pecce is another singer.
"It was a little embarrassing because I'm not used to being the center of attention," said Kiff of Gloucester, a first-time visitor to the MFA. "But it was beautiful. I've had my unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience."
These four-minute art songs are the heart of "Sonic Blossom," a performance piece in the Koch Gallery for European Paintings and Hanoverian Silver. Every day, an opera singer – dressed in an elaborate Japanese robe – randomly selects visitors and delivers "the gift of song," standing only about 12 feet away. After each song, the singer stately exits, leaving behind an aura of mystery. If people want to know about the song and the singer, an attendant is always on hand to answer questions.
This is the U.S. debut of "Sonic Blossom," which has been performed in Beijing, Tokyo and Seoul. Internationally known artist Lee Mingwei created the piece in 2013 for the opening of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in South Korea. The building once was a secret police station where torture and killing occurred, he said.
"I proposed a project about gift-giving between strangers because I thought it was a wonderful response to the troubled history," Mingwei said. "People are moved because of the gesture of the gift and the beauty of the melody. The music transcends language and touches their soul."
Mingwei, who studied violin for 14 years and developed his love for Schubert lieder as a child growing up in Taiwan, started thinking about the solace of these art songs when he cared for his mother after surgery. Known for his participatory installations that foster trust and intimacy, Mingwei realized that the fleeting and beautiful lieder could do this.
To create the piece, Mingwei last month selected Guan and seven other male and female opera singers from about 32 he auditioned. They each leaned five of Schubert's most well-known lieder: Du bist die Ruh, An den Mond, Fruhlingsglaube, Nacht und Traume, and Auf dem Wasser zu singen.
Mingwei worked with the singers on how to approach museum visitors, create a peaceful, stately mood and wear the heavy embroidered robe he made from ancient kimono belts, known as obis.
"I wanted a regal feeling and a dialogue between East and West," said Mingwei, who studied sculpture and textiles at Yale and designed the costume specifically for the MFA installation.
When Guan finished her song, people applauded and some, like Allison Derke, rose to hug her.
"I kept smiling the whole time," said Derke, who was intrigued when she first saw Guan in the costume. "It really was like a gift of song. She was so quiet at first and then this really powerful voice came out of her. It was really wonderful. I'm still smiling."
Guan, who usually performs under stage lights where she cannot see the audience, felt she too receives a gift.
"It's so different and intimate," said Guan, a graduate of Boston Conservatory and China Conservatory of Music. "We're looking right at each other, and it's about the communication between the two of us."
Jen Mergel, the museum's curator of contemporary art, said "Sonic Blossom" fits perfectly with the MFA's new interest in presenting performance art.
"It's magnetic and mysterious, yet approachable," said Mergel of Quincy. "It's transcends language and culture barriers and gives people a sense of wonder."

We're still in the midwest and seeing new people everyday! It's been fun, tiring and exciting. Tomorrow is our 7th year wedding anniversary. It really seems like just yesterday that we said our vows downtown in an urban park in St. Paul, MN. Tomorrow we're going to spend the afternoon going back to out ceremony site and then strolling around our old neighborhood on Grand Ave. I'm really excited to do this.
Since I don't have access to any photos to post I thought I'd do a post I found on a few other photographers sites, like Jasmine Star in Ca, below. It's a fun way to see how you are feeling in the moment, try it sometime. I love you babe and I look forward to many more years together! Happy Anniversary.
I AM…worn out and hungry.
I WANT…some time to chill out all alone.
I HAVE…a lot of edits to do when I get home.
I KEEP…a tube of Burt's Beeswax lipbalm with me always!
I WISH I COULD….sing.
I HATE…doing dishes.
I FEAR…very large spiders.
I HEAR…the rain coming down outside.
I DON'T THINK…I could ever run a marathon.
I REGRET…nothing at the moment.
I LOVE…my family, husband, friends, and our dogs!
I AM NOT…a morning person.
I DANCE…not enough and want to more.
I SING…Led Zepplin anytime it's on the radio and Madonna.
I NEVER…go a day without taking a shower.
I RARELY…say no to dessert.
I CRY WHEN I WATCH…animals that have been abused.
I AM NOT ALWAYS…on time.
I HATE THAT…I have to wait forever for The Office & Lost to start.
I NEED…to get a full day of rest in soon.
I SHOULD…exercise more.

Team InsideIIM caught up with Mr Rajiv Dabhadkar, an expert in the field of inward and outward immigration. In our first interaction, we ask him to share his views on H1B and L1 Visa Scenario in the United States.
Does a rise in the H1B Visa applications mean that there is a lack of skilled talent in the US?
No, An H1b work visa is employer dependant. In other words, an employer is required to petition for a work authorization for a citizen from abroad. Here the term employer is ambiguous as staffing agencies can sponsor for work visas, and have equal sanctions as a employer. Rise in H1B applications at a time when the visa fees have increased is not only because of lack of skills available locally, rather large number of body shops petitioning for work visas.
What are body shops? How do they play a role in misleading potential job seekers in the US Tech Industry?
American staffing agencies fill a critical gap in the process of staff augmentation. These agencies, often appointed as vendors of companies bring flexibility towards labor recruitment allowing their client companies to focus on R&D. client companies outsource staffing and recruitment services to local vendors to bring flexibility to their labor recruitment process.
But these staffing agencies can also file a work visa petition in behalf of their clients, and as a result spawned a staffing grey market wherein staffing firms petition for citizens from abroad and in turn source them to out place them at client sites locally. Because the staffing firms charge a commission for every hour worked by their work visa sponsored employee, foreign workers often work at lower wages as compared to their American colleagues.
Often body shops poach Indian work visa seekers by advertising for jobs on Indian career portals. Job ads are often placed with the promise of a green card. Job ads are placed a year in advance to solicit applicants. Visa filing fees plus attorney fees required to file a work visa petition are often solicited from the job seeker in India. This is illegal, as the employer must pay for the visa fees. Often, body shops take the visa fees but do not file for the visa and abscond, leaving the job seeker in the lurch.
Are Indian workers a threat to the American job seekers?
Indian workers, unlike American workers are largely involved in "dual employment". viz - their work visa is owned by one company, and they work at another company.The company that petitions the work visa earns a brokerage fee of every hour worked by their employee. Thus working at lower wages as compared to American workers.The h1b work visa policies are designed to keep the market competitive by pitting one class of worker against the other. Hence, guest workers are seen as a threat by American workers and are accused of driving down the wages.
Diverting from the topic, it is also seen that these fraudulent cases also happen with students looking forward to study abroad. How does one actually differentiate between real and faux universities abroad?
If you are determined to pursue a degree abroad, always to a thorough research of the study abroad counsellor that you plan to visit. A prospective student should equip himself/herself with the knowledge that the best universities may not be the one that suits their profile, but only gives a good markup to the counsellor.
Also, be prudent while applying for "On-The-Spot" admissions, it is only a marketing tactic with a disclaimer. It is unfortunate that prospects do not realise that celebrated and prominent universities would never rely on lavish seminars and similar schemes, which eventually add up as a cost to the applicant.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, October 7, 2019 — There is a wall in the lobby of the new Legacy Union complex in Charlotte, North Carolina that doesn't seem like a wall at all. This "wall" is, in fact, a vibrant, animated, living mural designed to represent the best of Charlotte and unify the entire community. Called "Unify," the 64-foot-wide by 36-foot-tall LED wall was conceived by interactive design studio Second Story, is driven by an Extron processor, and was built by NanoLumens. It is believed to be the largest native 4K LED display ever installed anywhere.
With only a pristine, open space separating the complex from the Bank of America stadium where the Carolina Panthers play, the building's architects, designers, technology specialists, and ownership wanted to bring something new and exciting to this bustling city district.
"We designed this space to project outward from the most visible spot, shining through the floor-to-ceiling front windows, across the street and into the outdoor space between here and Bank of America Stadium," said Hal Shute, Associate AIA at architecture firm LS3P, which designed the tower. "This is a world-class building, so we looked at cutting edge ideas and technologies that could bring the lobby and public space into the 21st century, while making a real impact on both the space's design and its relevance to the community."
By combining NanoLumens' world-leading LED display technology and engineering with LS3P's architectural excellence and creative Charlotte-themed visuals and videos from content firm Second Story, the lobby is now a living homage to the city of Charlotte. With a total square footage nearly 3.5 times that of a highway billboard, the display dominates the space while also merging its design into the architecture itself. Because it was designed to be a native 4K display with a resolution of 4096×2304, any modern content can be shown without reformatting or special processing required, including Carolina Panthers games. The display itself is driven by an Extron Quantum Ultra 610 videowall processor that supports the display's native 4K resolution and configures smoothly into the design specifications thanks to its modular architecture.
"The display is mounted flush with eight feet of natural stone on each end, so the wall really is a TV," Shute added. "It was carefully designed to be seamless, to blend into the environment and not appear stuck-on, a trap some other buildings fall into when the technology is a secondary consideration and not a core piece of the design process."
To use a digital display as part of the space's design, it had to meet certain criteria. First, the marble and concrete wall on which it would be affixed had already been solidified in the plans, so the ideal solution would be front-serviceable, and not require accessing the units from the rear. NanoLumens turned out to be one of the only display makers to use a front serviceable design.
Second, also due to infrastructure constraints, the display needed to be able to operate without adding any air conditioning or cooling equipment, and, again, NanoLumens turned out to be the right choice. It is one of only two manufacturers LS3P considered that designs its displays to cool by convection, so they don't require forced air.
A display of this size and location also had to be perfect to make the impact the client desired, and Frank Milesky, Southeast Area Director for technology integration firm Cenero, explained there were even more reasons that NanoLumens was the final choice.
"In any lobby, you want to maximize the available space and limit intrusions into that space, and because NanoLumens displays do not require a third-party mounting system, the total depth ended up being much shallower than competitors," Milesky said. "And for a digital wall that's going to be showing local scenes, ball games, marketing content and other visuals 24 hours a day, we needed to trust the technology we chose to last for years to come. NanoLumens six-year warranty is the best available, and it ensures our client gets the value they want out of a presentation system that's better than they ever imagined."
Milesky also noted that these types of tech-enabled architecture-as-art projects are becoming more popular, where designers or owners work to blend artwork and infrastructure to create experiential moments and spaces.
According to Arch Nelson, NanoLumens Southeast Sales Director, an additional reason the building's owners and architects wanted to implement such a big display was to allow split-screen capabilities that still present larger-than-life imagery.
"We believe this is the largest native 4K display ever installed anywhere," Nelson asserted. "One of the goals of this installation was to enable one enormous screen to be broken up into 16 smaller, but still huge screens, each 16 feet long and 9 feet tall. With any number of sources including cable boxes, computers, streaming services and digital signage software, the lobby's living wall can become anything they want or need it to be. By choosing a 4K resolution, which required a finer pixel pitch than most displays of this size at 4.7 mm, the client and signage operators can easily show any content at any time."
In addition to the generative "Unify" content, Second Story developed a series of intriguing and engaging videos for the launch of the building in August, including aerial drone footage of dramatic Charlotte sights.
"It's so refreshing to see more developers using canvases like this to inspire and enhance communities, built environments and public spaces," said Joel Krieger, Second Story's Executive Creative Director.

Sexual harassment is defined in the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) (SD Act) as: 'any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that a reasonable person, having regard to all the circumstances would have anticipated would offend, humiliate or intimidate the other person.' Similar definitions are found in State and Territory anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation.
This means that sexual harassment will occur when:
- a person makes an unwelcome sexual advance or an unwelcome request for sexual favours, to the person harassed; or
- engages in other unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature in relation to the person harassed.
Depending on the circumstances, the following kinds of behaviour may be deemed sexual harassment:
- jokes or cartoons about someone's appearance, body shape, or any of the personal matter that may cause embarrassment and make people feel uncomfortable
- sexual or physical contact such as putting your arm around someone, slapping them, kissing, touching or patting them
- staring or leering in a sexual manner (looking someone up and down)
- standing too close to someone or brushing him or her as you walk past
- verbal abuse or comments that put down or stereotype people because of their sex, appearance or sexual preference. These gestures may not need to be obviously crude for the behaviour to be deemed sexual harassment
- offensive gestures and "wolf" whistling
- displaying in the workplace or in personal belongings material that is sexist, sexually explicit or homophobic (anti-gay). This includes offensive e-mails, screensavers or computer 'wallpaper'
- repeated sexual invitations when the person invited has refused similar invitations before
- intrusive questions or remarks about a person's sexual activities or private life
Conduct must be 'unwelcome'
Conduct will only be sexual harassment if it is 'unwelcome'. Consensual conduct will not be 'unwelcome'.
Intention is irrelevant
You don't need to intend to offend, humiliate or intimidate, or even to know that this was the effect of your behaviour for this conduct to be sexual harassment. For example, a practical joke that 'everyone else thinks is funny' can amount to sexual harassment of somebody else who finds it offensive.
Discriminatory harassment and victimisation due to making a complaint are unlawful and amount to discrimination under Federal and State anti-discrimination law. Discriminatory harassment means behaviour directed to another person (or group of persons) in the workplace that subjects them to a detriment because of their attribute.
For example, Section 35 of the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) prohibits disability harassment in work, although this is not defined.
Harassment on other grounds can also constitute discrimination as it will generally constitute less favourable treatment of an employee or potential employee because of a protected trait, e.g. race or age.
Types of behaviour which constitute discriminatory harassment include, but are not limited to, any violent or threatening physical or verbal outburst or abuse, sarcastic or derogatory comments or actions which undermine, demean, belittle or humiliate an individual or group or their ability or intelligence, yelling, screaming, swearing or similar behaviour aimed at intimidating, frightening, coercing or offending those at whom it is directed.

I can not stress enough the importance of a professional business card for both companies and organizations alike. Your business card is one of the most inexpensive marketing materials you will purchase and yet it is the one item that will help you present a good company or ministry image. Business cards not only help by highlighting the services provided by a particular company, They can also help to enhance the personal image of a church leader or director and they give your prospects an easy way to get back in contact with you.
Production and Printing Cost of a Business Card are Low, But the Benefits are High!!
As you prepare to grow your business or ministry, contact will be the key to a successful venture. Your business card is the best way to stay in front of target audience.
Despite what the size of your business or ministry is, business cards are used by everyone. Be sure you card reflects who you are, and gives people an idea of what you are capable of doing in the event that your service is needed in the future.


text: WilmetteThe village of Wilmette is considered one of the most desirable villages of Chicago's North Shore. With its proximity to the city, excellent schools, diverse architecture, access to beaches and well-manicured lawns, it is easy to understand why. The community boasts scores of business homes and a good variety of business and services. Wilmette is also home to one of the finest school districts in the nation, and has an extensive park district, which illustrates dedication to the families who live there.The Wilmette Harbor is a haven for pleasure boating; in fact, a sunny summer day sees the lake filled with colorful sails. The beaches are a major attraction, and the community is extremely proud of its beach, the longest and one of the most popular ones in the area. Also, on the lakefront is an outdoor arena at Gilson Park, which holds numerous programs including live theater and musical entertainment.The lake is not Wilmette's only recreational opportunity. The village also has two public and two private golf courses, two indoor ice rinks, a large outdoor pool, a variety of athletic fields and 19 public parks. The Baha' i Temple is the community's crowning landmark, drawing tourists from all over the world to its lakeside location. The design of the nine-sided domed temple took 40 years to complete. It is surrounded by nine flower gardens and nine fountains. Wilmette's eastern section features an antique street lighting system, which was installed in 1925 using green cast-iron poles with ornamental luminary. This charming feature, along with its cobblestone streets, gives Wilmette a glowing link with its past.

I figured to make a thread to see if anybody ever had this issue before. My fan lights up, but doesn't spin. It just no longer spins after less than a month. This happened on Tuesday and I put in a request form. I cannot be without a working computer, I'm ironically enough a CSA agent who works from home, so I decided to go to Best Buy and buy a Corsair H60 cooler. It is working fine, thank God.
Now I get an email from AMD stating they need video proof of it not working. I bought it from Amazon and still have until January 29 to return my cpu/cooler. I just wanted to exchange my defective cooler, which is under warranty and I have all the documentation, yet AMD is giving me the run around. Anybody else experience this?
If this is the type of customer service I get from AMD, I might just return the whole package to Amazon and get my money back to buy something else.

At a recent IRC leadership event in Singapore Mr Vivek Bhatia, the Asia Pacific Regional CEO of engineering giant Thyssen Krupp, spoke on leadership transformation.
Specifically, he explored the key requirements of successful leadership within the 4th industrial revolution; the digital age. As with industrial revolutions past, the core focus remains the creation of value. However, the difference now is the 'VUCA' world in which we operate – one which is Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous. This has an impact at all levels: political, social, economic and environmental.
Within this context Bhatia suggested that leaders need to:
Of course, leaders do not have the luxury of dealing with each of these one at a time and so the challenge is weaving the four into a concurrent narrative.
The other challenge comes from the fact that change impacts organisations at such a high speed and from avenues not previously expected. In addition, while technology is a great enabler, when it comes to leadership, as a tool it can sometimes be more of a hindrance than a help.
In the time of Industry 4.0, it is the capacity of leaders to transform their organisations, enabling them and their teams to adapt to the changing environment which will be the true mark of sustainable success.

From Christian "Karim" Fowkes, RPCV Taza (1998-2000) : I returned to Morocco this summer to show my wife why Morocco holds such a special place in my heart. We traversed the country, making our way to Taza and Tazekka National Park. In Taza, we were welcomed by my former Parks counterpart, Aziz Rahmouni, and his family. Early the next morning, Aziz, his son Azar, a park employee, my wife, and I set out to Ain Bechar to see how the construction of the High Atlas Foundation (HAF)/ Peace Corps women's co-op was proceeding.
Walking through the bleddi-style scaffolding, it was a marvelous site. The outline of the co-op showed that there would be two rooms of ample size. Aziz and the quiad explained that one would be a general meeting room, while the other would be used exclusively to help educate the women of the village. There would be sessions held there on women's health, hygiene, and skill-based learning like carpet weaving.
I asked Aziz how this HAF/Peace Corps project was different from projects in the past. He spoke about how much better it was because the village decided on what the project would be. The process of selecting a project and implementing an action plan was monumental for the village. The attitude of villagers is exceptionally positive. They all spoke with pride when recalling the process and how it brought the village closer together. The possibilities of what the co-op could do are endless and those in Ain Bechar are aware of that potential. Through the HAF/Peace Corps partnership, Aziz spoke about how the entire village would turn out for meetings and vote on what they felt would best benefit the village. Perhaps this, voting for the betterment of their village, will have the greatest impact on the village.
The people of Ain Bechar are well on their way to completing a beautiful women's co-op and the rest of the park is taking notice. Aziz is very proud to be associated with HAF and the good work it is doing in his little part of Morocco. As we pulled away from the Ain Bechar, bellies full from homemade harsha and mint tea, I was energized by the level of co-operation between Peace Corps, HAF, and all members of the village. The possibilities of projects are endless, not only in this village, but in Morocco as a whole. Perhaps the lasting effect of the HAF project isn't just the bricks and mortar building, but the creation of a model for an entire village to use in order to address the needs of their community in the future.

It's been a fun year for Westminster ladies basketball under coach Jeff Dennis, especially at home. Improving to 6-2 in the friendly confines of their home court Jan. 28, the Lady Wolves pounded Pomona (8-8) 74-37 to move to 11-6 on the season.
"When we were playing Wheat Ridge at the beginning of the season in a tournament for the (Westminster Winter Classic) championship (Dec. 6), it was the first time coaching this group where I sat back and actually got to enjoy their ball movement and their spacing," Dennis said after the game last Tuesday. "Tonight was a similar story. With these girls having played together for so long now, they know each other's tendencies, and it's showing all over the court."
It all began in a dominant first quarter in which Westy allowed just four points thanks to their pressure and activity on the defensive end. Leading out to easy baskets, the home team led by 13 going to the second in part to reserve junior Lauren Graves Bonilla.
The versatile guard made her presence felt with a team-high six points in the first before adding four more in the second frame in helping the Lady Wolves pour on 28 points to claim a commanding 26-point advantage. Westy sophomore Marina Boltz and senior Valerie Gallegos tallied 12 and nine points apiece in the frame as well.
"I use a couple of phrases in my program. I have energy takers and energy givers, and that girl is an energy giver on and off the court," Dennis said of Graves Bonilla after the affair. "She just exudes passion, and she's gritty, tough, and she's going places."
Also going places is this Westminster basketball program that hasn't had a winning record since Dennis took over as head coach in the 2015-2016 season. With only four seniors on the roster and young talent all over the place, the future is looking bright for the rest of this season, as well as the future.
In the points category, Boltz, Gallegos, and Graves Bonilla tallied 23, 18, and 16 apiece to guide the Westy offense. Gallegos also had her way on the glass with a team-high 17 rebounds and five assists. The Lady Wolves got five steals from senior Jada Parsons and Boltz as Graves Bonilla had four.
Ending the week, Westy suffered their second conference defeat to the hands of Thornton two nights later, 58-31, to conclude their 2-game winning streak.
