If you are not seeing signs of love occurring in the natural world or in your dreams, perhaps it is time to take matters into your own hands. With the upcoming full moon on the 16th October 2016, what a perfect time to create a love spell. Love spells have worked for centuries to attract love and ensure it is requited. For the best result, perform these spells when the moon is full.
When casting spells for love, you must always believe that the spell will work. Doubting the power of magic will never make your wishes come true. Also, be aware that love spells cannot bewitch someone into falling in love with you – rather, a love spell performed correctly enhances your own magical energy so that you can attract the right person.
Image via pinterest
The following spell when cast on the full moon will bring new love into your life.
Rose Petal Spell
You will need:
A handful of rose petals.
To perform the spell on the night of a full moon, hold the rose petals in your hand and walk one hundred steps from your front door. Turn around and walk back toward your front door, and, while you are walking, scatter the petals on the ground around you. As you do this, say out loud:
Love, find your way
Love, come to stay!
Repeat these words as you approach your door, until all the petals but one have been scattered. Hold the remaining petal and take it inside with you and put it by your bed. Be on the lookout as you return to your house over the week that follows. It is very possible that a new love will follow you home.
Red, Red Heart Spell
You will need:
Red paper
Candle matches
An envelope
On a full moon, cut a heart shape from the paper. Light the candle, and, holding the heart shape and standing in front of the candle, repeat these words:
As this red heart glows by candlelight,
I draw love closer to me this night.
Place the heart in the envelope, and using wax from the candle, seal it shut. Place the envelope in a safe place and do not look at it again until the next full moon, one month later. By this time, a love interest should have entered your life. If this has not occurred, repeat the ritual for one more month.
Double Twig Spell
You will need:
Two twigs, each about the same length and width
Pencil or pen
20cm length of twine
One twig represents you, and the other represents your next love. Write your name on one twig, and, on the other, write a few characteristics you are seeking in a mate.
Tie the twigs together with the twine so they are touching and see yourself in your mind's eye, standing next to a new love. Toss the twig bundle into a body of water and exclaim, "From now on, together!" Repeat the spell each week until a new love comes to you.
Rosemary and Thyme Shoe Spell
You will need:
One sprig rosemary
One sprig thyme
A pair of your shoes
A small bowl of water
Before you go to sleep, put the sprig of rosemary in your left shoe and the sprig of thyme in your right shoe. Place the shoes where the light of the moon can fall upon them and sprinkle a few drops of water on the herbs in each shoe.
As you go to bed, chant this spell three times:
In the light of the moon, I work this old herbal spell.
By my will and desire, may it all turn out well.
A vision of my future love, reveal to me this night;
A dream conjured from rosemary, thyme and moonlight.
When you wake the next day, write down any dreams that you had. Dispose of the rosemary and thyme outdoors, and pay attention to any new love interests who enter your life from now until the next full moon comes around.
Marjoram, Violet, and Rose Spell
For the best results, perform this spell on a Friday under a full moon.
You will need:
Violet petals (fresh or dried)
Rose petals (fresh or dried)
A small sachet
Combine a small amount of marjoram, violet petals, and rose petals in the sachet. Go outside and hold out the bag up into the moonlight saying:
Marjoram, tucked in a sweet-smelling sachet,
Chase away the blues and keep bad dreams away.
Add violets for the lady, and the rose for love.
Hear me, Aphrodite, and answer from above.
Go inside and place the sachet under your pillow. Just before you retire for the night, say the following words:
Oh, enchanted herbs so sweet,
Bring to me dreams of the man I am to meet.
Rose and Candle Spell
Perform this spell in the evening before bedtime.
You will need:
A red rose
Two large red candles
Arrange the rose and candles on a table by your bedside, putting the rose between the candles. Do not light the candles yet. Go to sleep. At sunrise the next morning, sit by an open window that faces east. Hold the rose and recite these words:
This red rose is for true love
True love, come, come, to me
Return the rose to its place on the table. Light both candles, and, as you look into their flames, visualise love growing in the heart of your intended. Bury the rose in a sunny spot.
Blooming Bulb Spell
You will need:
A flower bulb or plant bulb
A pencil or pen
A pot
Potting soil
Write the name of your desired on the bulb you have chosen, be it a flower bulb like a tulip, daffodil, or hyacinth, or an edible bulb like an onion, shallot, or garlic. Plant the bulb in a new pot and place it so it faces the dwelling of the one you want to love you. Care for the bulb as directed. Each day, until the bulb first seeds up green shoots, repeat this spell:
May the roots grow
May the leaves grow
May the flowers grow
And as it does, so may
(the name of your desired)s love for me grow.
Seed and Coin Spell
You will need:
Potting soil
A pot
A coin
A packet of seeds (herbs work well)
Place the soil in the pot until it is two-thirds full. Go outside one clear night when the moon is out and hold a shiny new coin up, facing the moonlight. Then, bury the coin in the soil. Next, arrange the seeds on top of the soil so they form the initial of your object of desire's first name. Cover the seeds with soil and sprinkle with water.
As the seeds sprout and grow, so will your love. Keep the pot in sunlight during the day and in moonlight during the night. The coin and the forces of the sun and moon will work together to draw love to you.
Now simply wait for love to blossom.

I don't know exactly how, but I developed the impression that Tony Stark's story was mainly happy-go-lucky heroics up until the "Demon in a Bottle" arc. Though I shouldn't have been, I was surprised to find that everybody's favorite billionaire playboy weapons designer was actually grappling with Peter Parker levels of angst well before the Bullpen decided to make him an alcoholic. Iron Man #22 is a perfect example. It forces Tony Stark to watch his primary love interest die as a direct result of her relationship with Tony and Iron Man. He'll feel considerable guilt over this death, and in point of fact he deserves to.
Iron Man #22
Date: February 10, 1970
Read on MU
Creative Team:
Writer: Archie Goodwin
Artist: George Tuska
"From This Conflict … Death!"
Right off the bat, I have to say that Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Tuska can be tremendously efficient when they need to be. This is middle of a three-part story, but if you missed #21, no worries – the title page will catch you up in five quick thought balloons:
Eddie March's short-lived tenure in the Iron Man armor leads him into a deadly fight with the Crimson Dynamo. Tony tries to help, but he arrives after the Dynamo is gone. All he can do is scoop Eddie up (double Iron Man goodness!) and race him to the hospital.
Before he got whomped by the Dynamo, Eddie was supposed to be checking on a smuggler's ominous cargo. We leave Tony to his sorrow and go check in with that cargo now – it's a very active and angry Titanium Man!
Over at Cord Industries, Tony's current love, Janice Cord, stumbles into her lead scientist Alex Niven making repairs to the Crimson Dynamo suit. He's been featured in a few panels before being vaguely ominous, but now he pinions Janice and lays out a full-on origin flashback. His real name is Alex Nevsky, and he was once the protege of the original Dynamo, Anton Vanko. Vanko's defection ruined Nevsky career in the Motherland, so he's come to the US for revenge.
His position at Cord allowed him to challenge Stark economically at the same time as he rebuilt the Dynamo armor to take down Iron Man. Adding Janice into the mix unhinged him, because of course he got jealous of her romantic entanglement with Stark.
Just before things go full-on soap opera, the Titanium Man comes crashing through the wall. He's bent on snapping Nevsky up and returning him to the Motherland. Nevsky jumps into his armor, but it's still messed up from his fight with Eddie. All he can do is spirit Janice away to safety.
Iron Man has been tracking the Titanium Man (and discovering that Eddie March is going to pull through), but he arrives at precisely the wrong time. His appearance flummoxes Nevsky into dropping Janice, nearly killing her. Tony comes to all the wrong conclusions and thinks the Titanium Man and the Dynamo are in cahoots.
Janice, in contrast to Tony, is doing great at figuring things out. She rushes right between Tony and Alex and tries to convince them not to fight. Unfortunately, this is exactly when the Titanium Man zaps all three of them with an electric beam. It knocks Alex out, does nothing to Iron Man, but Janice …
She just has time to realize that Iron Man and Tony Stark are one and the same before falling. Then – and I really can't stress enough how badly Tony screws up here – Tony decides that beating up the Titanium Man is more important than getting help for Janice. He's flying around trading punches with the big green commie and it falls to Alex to check up on Janiceand discover she's dead. He blames Iron Man – rightly so! – and swears revenge before taking off.
The Titanium Man is disposed of in the river, but the Dynamo is at large. Most importantly, a woman lies dead and all Iron Man can do is regretfully shovel her into an ambulance.
For starters, I have to be honest: I am so used to Silver Age "status quo is God" sensibilities that I flat-out missed Janice's death the first time I read this. I thought she was injured, but no – subsequent issues make it clear she is thoroughly dead.
Though I've painted Tony's initial reaction as rash and unthinking (and really, it is), in the longer term this is a devastating loss. It comes right on the heels of Tony's attempt to give up the armor, which put Eddie March in deadly danger, and it really paints the man into a corner. He can't hand off his self-appointed duty to be Iron Man, yet doing the job himself has lethal consequences for the ones he loves.
By now Tony's received a semi-permanent surgical fix for his injured heart, so he no longer has the "being Iron Man might kill me" problem. Instead, he's going to be struggling with "being Iron Man might kill everyone around me." Being Iron Man is a choice now, and it's one that comes at a tremendously high price.
Tolerating this intolerable situation may well be what drives Tony to drink. I haven't read "Demon in a Bottle" yet, so this is just speculation. I'll be excited to find out just how long a shadow Janice's death casts over Tony in the future. I doubt it'll be an iconic Uncle Ben-level incident in Iron Man's story, but it'd be nice to revisit this undeniable failure further on.
When I take a wider view, I contend that Iron Man is really one of the Bullpen's unsung gems in this time period. Mr. Goodwin has a distinctive narrative voice and he's exploring different concepts than Mr. Lee and Mr. Thomas (who together account for 80 to 90 percent of Marvel's narrative output in 1970). Unfortunately, Mr. Goodwin's days are numbered. Though he's written Iron Man all the way from #1, Mr. Goodwin takes a sixty-issue break starting with #28.
This period in Marvel history features some charmingly ham-handed attempts at diversity. The introduction of Eddie March, an African American replacement for a title's lead hero – in 1970 – is one of the best examples. While making Eddie the permanent pilot of the armor isn't in the cards, I think his short sojourn is handled with skill. Eddie scores the gig as Iron Man by displaying a laudable combination of strength, guts, intelligence, and – perhaps most significantly – admiration for Iron Man and what he represents. Eddie's determination to hold the job despite the risk to his health is also a nice mirror of Tony's own situation. After his brush with death here, he'll turn up in the not-too-distant future in IM #27.
Who Will Love Iron Man #22?
I am putting two strong thumbs up for this entire story arc – Iron Man #21 – #23. I think you'll love it if you're already an Iron Man fan. If you're not, the dramatic twists Tony is subjected to just might you one. Even if your main interests in the Marvel line-up circa 1970 lie elsewhere, I think you'll appreciate the novelty, the high stakes, and even the grim details of this story.

Write 31 days: Tip #4
Write 31 days – How NOT to kill the reading habit in kids with Book Recommendations for boys
Tip #1 – Even if the book he selects is a book you do not think has any "value"; do NOT discourage!
Tip#2 -Let them abuse the book
Tip #3 – Do not offer reading instead of screen time.
Tip #4 – Do not Give up on your Children, they need you more than you will ever know.
Every book I bring into the home is outright rejected. Feeling dejected and annoyed, I stopped reading for a while!
When we started off on our reading journey, we had a phase where in every book I bought for Aarya was rejected even before we opened the book! If it was not about a car or a truck or something he liked, he wouldn't even let me open it! Some days he won't allow me to read the books he liked previously. I was flustered to say the least, and I stopped trying for a while too. But then, I am a mom and I decided that I was NEVER going to give up on my children. And I kept trying. Until he stopped saying no to reading a book.
Sometimes I have felt that I just read 1 book for weeks on end, but I do not stop because that one book might be his ladder to loving books.
Do not feel hurt if the books you love are out-rightly rejected and never read more than that one time, it is OK. I am sure he will grow to love them someday. Or there would be another child who will.
This quote rings true with us a lot and Let's Lasso the Moon blog shares an awesome list of Book Lists.
Do not Give up on your Children, they need you more than you will ever know.

TORONTO — "Don't be fooled by the smoke," James Benning told a sold-out audience at the Toronto International Film Festival screening of his latest film "Twenty Cigarettes." A collection of living portraits, in which 20 smokers, all friends of his, face the camera for the time it takes to consume a cigarette, it is both an homage to Andy Warhol's fabled screen tests and a quintessential film for Mr. Benning, 68, a giant of American experimental cinema whose conceptually minimalist works tend to open up vast spaces for reflection.
Observation and duration are central to his method. The 2004 landscape films "Thirteen Lakes" and "Ten Skies," with their stark, self-explanatory titles, are composed entirely of 10-minute static shots, each the length of a 16-millimeter film reel. In his 2007 film "RR," a monumental study of railroads in America, each shot lasts as long as it takes for a passing train to cross the frame.
The Times in Toronto
Features on the movies in the festival, interviews with stars and filmmakers, and updates from New York Times writers and film critics.
"Twenty Cigarettes" introduces a human dimension to Mr. Benning's temporal investigations. All 20 of his subjects were left alone with the camera after Mr. Benning had framed the shot, and asked simply to smoke a cigarette. Some go from lighting up to stubbing out in under three minutes; others take two or three times as long. And all of them, Mr. Benning said in an interview on Sunday, "release a feel of who they are" amid the drags and puffs of smoke. Here are some excerpts from the conversation.
I understand you're a non-smoker.
The first time I tried smoking I was 11 or 12. I tried to light a cigarette when nobody was home and burned my eyebrows on the stove. I don't know if that deterred me from smoking. I never was opposed to it. I never really thought about it being a health hazard because at the time the ads would say things like "4 out of 5 doctors smoke Camels." But my mother really didn't want me to smoke and offered me $200 if I wouldn't smoke until I was 18 and I took her up on it. I think it was a good investment. I've never smoked even one full cigarette.
What was the genesis of "Twenty Cigarettes"? Did you start our wanting to make a portrait film or a film about smoking?
I wanted to do a portrait film with extended takes. Smoking came into it later, as the ploy to get people to stand still and not be totally conscious of being filmed, although a big part of "Twenty Cigarettes" is that very self-consciousness of a person in front of a camera and how that changes over time. Cigarettes also have this built-in duration and people will smoke at a different rate, and they'll smoke the whole cigarette or part of the cigarette. Smoking has such a stigma now, especially in the U.S., so I thought it would be interesting to make a film where I won't have any value judgment at all on smoking.
Could you say a bit about how you framed and positioned your subjects?
It's kind of a funny set-up — they're not sitting at a table having a cup of coffee or reading a book or talking on the phone. People don't smoke like that, standing up and just staring forward — the only exception might be workers on a smoke break standing outside a building. I had them up against a wall, or a flat background, and the camera was maybe eight feet away from them, so it's defining a triangular space towards that wall. They know they can only move that much and they're very aware of the camera. I really wanted to record the relationship of camera to subject, and how the audience becomes a camera when they watch and you feel that self-consciousness closer because the audience becomes eight feet away from the person.
Do you agree that portraiture is ultimately an attempt to capture an essence of a person?
When you know somebody well, you can't really describe them in words but you have a whole feel for who that person is. Because I know all the people in the film, for me there are moments where that feeling really comes out, and I think that's when they've really let go of acting or being nervous all of a sudden. It's kind of a romantic notion to think that one can capture somebody's essence. But maybe I am a romantic in that sense.
Even though it avoids overt commentary "RR" alludes to the economic and political history of railroads. Do you think there are equivalent layers, connected to the act of smoking, in "Twenty Cigarettes"?
As with the railroads, there's a connection to business corruption: how can you make profits without any consideration for morality? Both of them of course are connected to cinema: the history of trains is connected to the history of cinema from the very beginning, and smoking has been used earlier, especially in the '40s, as a symbol of sophistication or for the evil character who smokes a particular way using a cigarette holder. Both films somewhat recall film history, although I don't make those kinds of films — it was just inherent in the subject.
Of your 20 subjects, half are women and half are men. They also vary in age and race and come from all over the world. Were you consciously striving for diversity?
Not when I began but once I got halfway through I realized it was a diverse group, and so it became more selective and I thought about trying to map the world into a pack of cigarettes. I grew up in a highly prejudiced place [Milwaukee in the 1940s and '50s], where we had no contact with anybody but our own kind. And so many years later now I'm the antithesis of what I grew up with and have ended up with a diverse group of friends. The film is kind of a tribute, I think, to myself and to what's possible, that I was able to become a person that's a bit better than where I started from.
So you could say "Twenty Cigarettes" ends up being a kind of self-portrait.
Yes, even though that wasn't the point at all. But I like projects that help define my place in the world and how I move through it.

Thug made vile threat about partner to friends – then killed her with a single punch just days later
The pair were arguing at a train station when the killer lashed out
A THUG who told his friends he would one day kill his girlfriend punched her so hard she died just four days after he made the vile threat.
Daniel Bragg, 37, of Bournemouth, has been jailed for five years and four months after pleading guilty to manslaughter after punching Julie Cook, 44, so hard he broke her eye socket.
The pair were arguing at a train station when the killer lashed out. She hit her head on the floor and died two days later.
The court heard that at on the afternoon of May 2 Bragg and partner Julie Cook were on the platform at Pokesdown train station when they started rowing.
CCTV footage shows Bragg assault Julie before she turned around and walked away.

Witnesses described seeing Bragg follow Julie and then punched her unconscious.
The court heard that Bragg walked away but returned to help Julie who did not respond at first. She eventually came around and Bragg dragged her up and helped to her flat.
That evening paramedics were called out after her situation worsened. She died two days after.
A post-mortem examination revealed she died as a result of head injuries which were consistent with her hitting her head on the ground.
She also sustained a fractured skull, fractured left eye and bruising to the back of her head and right cheek.
The court heard that Bragg and Julie had been together for about four years before the incident and their relationship had been described as volatile.
In April Bournemouth Magistrates' Court issued a Domestic Violence Protection Order against Bragg prohibiting Bragg from contacting Julie or going to her home for 28 days.
However, the couple remained in contact throughout this time and on Thursday 28 April a friend of the couple heard Bragg say something to the effect of "one of these days I'm going to kill her" or "if we carry on like this I will end up killing her".
Detective Inspector Neil Phillips, of Dorset Police's Major Crime Investigation Team, said: "We do not know what sparked the argument between Daniel Bragg and Julie that day, however, Bragg assaulted Julie as she walked away from him. There was no justification for such violence.
"Bragg and Julie clearly had a volatile relationship and efforts had been made to prevent further abuse. However, Julie and Bragg continued to maintain contact and she tragically died as a result of his violent behaviour.
"Domestic abuse can include controlling behaviour and I would encourage victims to report it and seek help – you do not have to suffer in silence."
He pleaded guilty to manslaughter today, the second day of his trial at Winchester Crown Court, and was sentenced this afternoon.

After 8 weeks of hard training over a total of 123.5 miles, the eve of the Dentdale 14 mile race is here! Since last Thursdays 10.6 mile run i have taken it easy this past week with only a short easy 3 miler on monday night. The rest of the week has been spent relaxing and eating plenty of carbs. Today i'm keeping my meals very light so i don't feel overly full come race time tomorrow.
Below is my completed training plan.
I have to say that although the run is going to be a gruelling and painful one, i am confident that i've given my training and preparation the attention it deserved, having also kept off alcohol for the last 2 weeks too. I'm hoping to complete the race in around 2:20 as it's a bit longer than a half marathon and 'undulating' (we'll see exactly what means by 1.10pm tomorrow).
Unfortunately the forecast for tomorrow is heavy rain which is less than ideal though i'm sure everyone taking part will lift each others spirits and make the event enjoyable! I've also managed to raise over £250 in sponsorship for the Friends of Hadrian School Charity so i'm sure that will help give me that extra spur on when things get tough!
Having taken the day off work i am doing my final bit of prep and getting myself psyched up and ready…i'm actually really looking forward to it!
Catch you all after the race!

A lovely heritage palace seeped in luxury
has been recently opened up for Domestic tourists to give Delhites
another Weekend getway, specially so in the winter months. This is the
Raj Niwas Palace at Dholpur. Being just 50k on Agra Gwalior highway, one
can travel via the express way and reach in 3-4 hours from Delhi
depending on the place you start from and the time you start from Delhi.
Dholpur Palace is one of the most beautiful and well preserved heritage
hotels in Rajasthan.more lustrous than it ever was, having been
refurbished extravagantly by the owner. Dholpur was a protectorate of
the British East India Company from 1779 on wards. In 1949, it merged
with the young Indian nation and in 1956 the princely state ceased to

Things to do around Dholpur
National Chambal Sanctuary-Explore
the National Chambal Sanctuary which is a 400 km protected stretch of
the river. A safari takes you on a four-hour ride down the River
Chambal, drifting past gharials basking on the sandbanks, marsh
crocodiles and turtles sunning themselves on the rocks and a wealth of
birds fluttering around. The place is just 4 km away. In fact, so rich
is the bird-life during the winter months that it warrants an exclusive
birding holiday in itself.
The calm and gentle waters of the Chambal River are best explored on
boats and the River Safari provides spectacular opportunities to view
the wildlife. The Chambal Safari boatmen are exceptionally skilled at
cutting the boat engines, and manoeuvring as close to the birds and
animals as possible without disturbing them. Trained naturalists
accompany visitors and provide expert information on the Chambal
wildlife. The River Safari is a most relaxing, enjoyable and special
The Machkund
temple - It is a pilgrim stronghold in Dholpur, and this temple is
located at a distance of four kilometres from the main city. This is a
very ancient and sacred place, and it is an important pilgrim
destination for all Hindus.
Chambal Ravines- Hire a jeep to explore the ravines of Chambal once
infested with the 'Chambal Dakus'. The Chambal Ravines (altitude
200-500m) are the product of centuries of soil erosion by flood and rain
waters. They form an incredible maze of intertwining mud cliffs, with

I read this prompt on my bus ride into work…so the "last" person I saw would have been the people on the bus!
But how am I really to know what they are thinking? Did WordPress forget that I cannot read minds? I'm sorry, but I don't like this prompt. I don't want to write about what I think someone else is thinking.
Let's hope tomorrow's prompt engages me a bit more.

Sometimes I think people have forgotten just how much society changed after the pandemics. So many people died, and many of them carried practical knowledge that wasn't necessarily in the books. It took two decades just to get back on track with returning the normal chain of supply of goods, and get people out of their houses and trusting again. And while the medical community has probably made the most strides since the pandemics, the people who emerged from it weren't the doctors and nurses that went into it. A lot of the people who ended up in medicine during the pandemics weren't trained physicians. They were warm bodies willing to come in contact with a deadly virus. After the pandemics, these new doctors were people who had survived, who had immunity. They were taught on the fly how to care for sick people. They had to make due with their own notions, and those notions have shaped medicine today.
"That survivor mentality among doctors has managed to prevail. People don't believe saving lives is doing harm. But, sometimes it is."

Last Friday I found another signal and now have a total of 5 channels. Before I had 3 channels of PBS and now I also have CW and ABC. After the switch to digital, I did autoscan a few times with the antenna turned in the approximate direction trying get channel 5 with no success. Judging by their website, the reason I couldn't get their signal was because it wasn't there. Yesterday morning was kinda foggy and yucky and then became windy and the signal was breaking up. Most of the time I had a picture, but the sound would come and go. So, I made some more firewood as there were some trees within about 50 feet of my antenna and in the direction the antenna was pointing. Not sure if that helped or not, only time will tell.
Scanning for channels with my converter box was not easy. I was able to figure out how to do autoscan, but manual scanning wouldn't work. Nowhere in the book that came with the box did it say to scan manually that after you select a channel you have to press OK. I figured that out accidentally.
The problem is that when the weather is such that I don't feel like being outside, the signal is hit and miss. It's a good thing I have DVD's and tapes.

It is significant to reduce the negative effects of non-metallic inclusion on steel and to improve steel mechanical properties through controlling the morphology of the secondary phase particle including non-metallic inclusion, nitride and carbide. Compared with particles with irregular shape, globular second phase particle could reduce the stress concentration during rolling and heat treatment process obviously and lower its harmfulness to steel toughness. A theoretical model to predict the morphology of the secondary phase particle in steel has been established by introducing a dimensionless Jackson

In this study, an operational experiment was conducted where artificial defects were applied to a slab to observe the evolution of surface defects from slab to coated strip. The aim of this work is to find the effect of defect dimension (diameter, depth) and its filling (casting powder/open) on the defect shape and position in the strip after hot rolling, cold rolling, and tinning. Three identical sets of artificial defects were drilled in the trial slab made of tin-grade steel. The first set was sampled after hot rolling, the second set was sampled after cold rolling, and the third set was sampled after tinning. The defects were metallographically analyzed in cross-sections using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy including energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Many of the induced defects were found to have healed during processing, and the appearance of a single defect was found vary substantially between positions.

Inclusions inevitably exist in steel strips, whose deformation behavior during rolling severely affects the quality of product. In this paper, the behavior of inclusions in stainless steel strip during cold rolling under various inclusion sizes and positions, and shapes (circle, square, and triangle) were simulated by the finite element method for both hard and soft inclusions when the inclusions were with weak adhesion to the strip matrix. The inclusion shape, the crack position, and size around inclusions after rolling were obtained. When the inclusions are hard, there are cracks around them after rolling. When the inclusions are soft, there are no cracks around them for the circle, square, and triangle inclusions. The calculated results of the relationship between the inclusions and the strip matrix after cold rolling are in good agreement with those of the experimental ones.

The effects of the composition, shape factor (length:width ratio) and area fraction of sulfide inclusions on the machinability of re-sulfurized free-cutting steels have been investigated in terms of cutting force, flank wear and surface roughness. The cutting force was reduced by sulfide inclusions in the following decreasing order: MnS, (Mn,Ca)S, MnS-RE 2 S 3 and (Mn,Ca)S-RE 2 S 3 . Flank wear of the cutting tools was also reduced by sulfide inclusions in the same increasing order as above. The elongated sulfide inclusions were more effective in reducing the cutting force than the globular sulfide inclusions, whilst the latter were more effective in reducing the flank wear of the tools. The increase of area fraction of sulfide inclusions resulted in reduction of both the cutting force and the flank wear of the tools. There were two conflicting factors concerning the effects of both the shape factor and area fraction of sulfide inclusions on the surface finish of the steel workpieces.
Although steel has been the workhorse of the automotive industry since the 1920s, the share by weight of steel and iron in an average light vehicle is now gradually decreasing, from 68.1 per cent in 1995 to 60.1 per cent in 2011 (refs 1, 2). This has been driven by the low strength-to-weight ratio (specific strength) of iron and steel, and the desire to improve such mechanical properties with other materials. Recently, high-aluminium low-density steels have been actively studied as a means of increasing the specific strength of an alloy by reducing its density. But with increasing aluminium content a problem is encountered: brittle intermetallic compounds can form in the resulting alloys, leading to poor ductility. Here we show that an FeAl-type brittle but hard intermetallic compound (B2) can be effectively used as a strengthening second phase in high-aluminium low-density steel, while alleviating its harmful effect on ductility by controlling its morphology and dispersion. The specific tensile strength and ductility of the developed steel improve on those of the lightest and strongest metallic materials known, titanium alloys. We found that alloying of nickel catalyses the precipitation of nanometre-sized B2 particles in the face-centred cubic matrix of high-aluminium low-density steel during heat treatment of cold-rolled sheet steel. Our results demonstrate how intermetallic compounds can be harnessed in the alloy design of lightweight steels for structural applications and others.

High undercooling up to 550 K (0.39 T) was achieved in eutectic NiSimelt using glass fluxing combined with the cyclic superheating. According to the microstructure evolution with the initial undercooling, surprisingly, a transition from non-faceted to faceted phase occurs for the as-solidified morphology of the alpha-Ni phase at the undercooling of 390 K. On the basis of the entropy of fusion criterion and the interface kinetics, this interesting morphology transition at high undercooling is analyzed.

The theory of dendritic growth into undercooled alloy melts is extended to the case of large undercoolings, i.e. to high growth rates. This is done by applying the results of the complete stability analysis of a plane interface to the tip of an Ivantsov dendrite. For small Péclet numbers this model corresponds to a model published previously. For large Péclet numbers i.e. large undercoolings, however, the stability parameters become functions of Péclet numbers and cause drastic changes in the growth behaviour of the dendrite. Furthermore the limit of absolute stability is predicted when the undercooling is equal to the sum of the thermal unit undercooling and the equilibrium freezing range of the alloy.

This paper reviews four aspects of crystal growth theory: the nature of the rate-controlling process, the mechanism controlling molecular attachment onto the growing crystal surface, the nature of the crystal-melt interface, and the stability of planar interfaces relative to cellular interfaces. The rate-controlling process may be diffusion in the melt, heat flow, or the reaction at the crystal-melt interface. Diffusion or heat-flow controlled growth generally leads to a cel- lular morphology. For most silicates, interface-controlled growth leads to a faceted morphology. If the rate-controlling process is the interface reaction, the mechanism at the in- terface may be either continuous, with molecular attachment occurring at all points on the crystal surface, or lateral, with attachment occurring only on steps of the surface. The mechanism actually occurring can be determined by the dependence upon undercooling of the growth rate corrected for the viscosity ofthe melt. The nature ofthe interface can be described in terms of the interface roughnegs, which may be considered to be the topographic relief on the surface. Materials with small latent heats of fusion, such as quartz, should have molecularly rough interfaces and grow with a nonfaceted morphology, while materials with large latent heats, such as most other silicates, should have smooth interfaces and grow with a faceted morphology. The stability of planar interfaces relative to cellular interfaces can be dis- cussed in terms of diffusional, heat-flow, surface-energy, and kinetic effects. For a freely grow- ing crystal, such as in a magma chamber, only the surface-energy and kinetic effects aid in stabilizing planar interfaces. An attempt has been made to illustrate each of the phenomena discussed with a silicate example, although in one case an organic example is necessary.
Crystal growth of Wollastonite (CaO·SiO 2) in a 42CaO–10Al 2O 3–48SiO 2 melt is observed in situ at 1320 ° C and 1370 ° C using a high-temperature confocal scanning laser microscope (CSLM). The crystallization is initiated by seeding the melt with Wollastonite particles, which is the primary phase at these temperatures and composition. At 1370 °C, a faceted growth form is observed, while at 1320 °C, dendritic, non-faceted growth occurs. The dendrite tip velocity is measured and compared with Ivantsov's theory. The presented experimental technique proofs to be successful for characterizing isothermal crystallization of minerals in silicate melts.

The effect of agitation on crystallization behaviors of CaO-Al 2 O 3 - SiO 2 -Na 2 O-CaF 2 mold fluxes with basicity of 1.1 and 1.2 was investigated. It was found that crystallization temperatures of agitated samples were higher than those of static samples. The morphology of cuspidine shifted from dendrites to facet crystals with the decrease of temperature. The agitation was conducive to the formation of small dendritic cuspidine and could lead to crystals with smaller size. Crystalline fraction could be significantly enhanced by agitation at the initial stage of crystallization.

CRYSTALLIZATION of a solid phase from a melt or solution is a special case of pattern formation in which the dissipation of energy across the free energy gradient between the two phases can give rise to various growth morphologies in the steady state 1 . Experimental studies of crystallization from undercooled solutions 2 , electrolytic deposition 3,4 and the formation of fluid patterns in a Hele鈥揝haw cell 5 have revealed faceted, dendritic, 'dense-branching' and fractal morphologies 6 . For a system with fixed anisotropy and interfacial tension, changes in the driving force for the transition (such as the degree of undercooling) can cause changes in growth morphology which are usually accompanied by changes in growth rate. The selection rule that determines these morphologies remains unclear, although a recent suggestion 5,6 is that it is based on the growth velocity. Here I propose that selection is governed by the rate of entropy production per unit area of the different growth patterns. This principle allows accurate prediction of the morphology transition observed for the crystallization of NH 4 CI (ref. 2). I suggest that it may reflect a more general thermodynamic principle underlying a wide range of natural processes.

CRYSTAL growth has attracted interest for centuries 1 . Three-dimensional crystals are usually faceted, but equilibrium thermodynamics prohibits faceting in two dimensions 2 : the one-dimensional perimeter of a two-dimensional crystal cannot exhibit long-range order at any non-zero temperature 3 . This need not, however, prevent facets from being stable dynamically during the growth process. Computer simulations have indeed produced nearly faceted two-dimensional crystals 4,5 . Here we describe the results of experiments on monolayers of a surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), at the surface of an aqueous solution. Surface-tension measurements and fluorescence microscopy 6–8 reveal a solid–liquid transition in the surface monolayer at fixed SDS bulk concentration, as the temperature is decreased. At low SDS con-centration, faceted monolayer crystals appear, although increasing the concentration induces a change to smoother growth morpho-logies. The faceted crystals become unstable as growth proceeds, the corners emitting filaments of various shapes. Some of these growth processes seem not to have three-dimensional analogues.

The initial stage of deoxidation and the influence of the oxygen level on the inclusion features were examined. Liquid Fe with various dissolved oxygen content (O) was brought into contact with Al in a quartz tube for a short time, i.e. 1, 5, 30 and 60 s. Microscopic investigations of the quenched samples revealed the formation of Al2O3 inclusions in the Fe-Al reaction zone, resulting from the motion of the diffusion front with time. Specific attention is given to inclusion size, location and morphology as a function of interaction time and O content. The latter was found to influence the inclusion characteristics. The inclusion number increased drastically with O content, which is related to the degree of supersaturation of the melt, one of the most important factors influencing the formation of inclusions. The inclusion morphology evolved from angular to spherical with increasing O content.

In the present manuscript, the efforts to control the crystal morphology are carried out aiming at improving the lubrication of lime-alumina-based mold flux for casting advanced high-strength steel with high aluminum. Jackson α factors for crystals of melt crystallization in multi-component mold fluxes are established and reasonably evaluated by applying thermodynamic databases to understand the crystal morphology control both in lime-alumina-based and lime-silica-based mold fluxes. The results show that Jackson α factor and supercooling are the most critical factors to determine the crystal morphology in a mold flux. Crystals precipitating in mold fluxes appear with different morphologies due to their different Jackson α factors and are likely to be more faceted with higher Jackson α factor. In addition, there is a critical supercooling degree for crystal morphology dendritic transition. When the supercooling over the critical value, the crystals transform from faceted shape to dendritic ones in morphology as the kinetic roughening occurs. Typically, the critical supercooling degrees for cuspidine dendritic transition in the lime-silica-based mold fluxes are evaluated to be between 0.05 and 0.06. Finally, addition of a small amount of LiO in the mold flux can increase the Jackson α factor and decrease the supercooling for cuspidine precipitation; thus, it is favorable to enhance a faceted cuspidine crystal.

The theory of interface motion as applied to crystal growth by Cahn and his coworkers is examined in detail. This theory, as derived, applied to systems which can have a second order phase transformation but not to liquid-solid or vapor-solid phase transformations which are first order. In this paper, the formalism of the theory is applied to these first order phase transformations. Reasonable agreement with experiment still cannot be obtained. This is because the molecular configuration of the interface is averaged out in the theory by considering a diffuse interface, rather than taking it into account properly in calculating the growth rate. Experimental data on crystal growth have been accumulated and analyzed. It is concluded from this analysis that the theory of Jackson on interface roughness qualitatively predicts crystal growth morphology. Most of the quantitative data on crystal growth are, however, of questionable reliability or are not sufficiently complete for detailed comparison with theory. None of the existent theories of crystal growth can account for these data.
When manganese silicate inclusions were formed during cooling from 1600 C, manganese and sulfur contents in the manganese silicate inclusions were much lower than their equilibrium values within the steel matrix, i.e. , the steel matrix was supersaturated with Mn and S against the inclusions. The formation of a Mn-depleted zone around an inclusion and the precipitation of a MnS phase on the inclusion were greatly affected by the thermal history of the steel. Slow cooling helped the formation of both the Mn-depleted zone and the MnS phase on the inclusion, but fast cooling suppressed it. Subsequent isothermal holding at 1200 C diminished the existing Mn-depleted zone in slow-cooled steel, but created a Mn-depleted zone for fast-cooled steel. The mass transfer within an inclusion was sluggish, and the formation of a MnS phase is due to the local saturation of Mn and S at the outer part of an inclusion. It was suggested that the major factors affecting the formation of the Mn-depleted zone and the MnS phase are the cooling rate, isothermal holding, and the sulfide capacity of the inclusion.

The origin, formation mechanism, and evolution of SiO-type inclusions in Si-Mn-killed steel wires were studied by pilot trials with systematical samplings at the refining ladle, casting tundish, as-cast bloom, reheated bloom, and hot-rolled rods. It was found that the inclusions in tundish were well controlled in the low melting point region. By contrast, MnO-SiO-AlOinclusions in the as-cast bloom were with compositions located in the primary region of SiO, and most CaO-SiO-AlO-MnO inclusions lied in primary phase region of anorthite. Therefore, precipitation of SiOparticles in MnO-SiO-AlOinclusions can be easier than in CaO-SiO-AlO-MnO inclusions to form dual-phase inclusions in the as-cast bloom. Thermodynamic calculation by the software FactSage 6.4 (CRCT-ThermFact Inc., Montr al, Canada) showed that mass transfer between liquid steel and inclusions resulted in the rise of SiOcontent in inclusions from tundish to as-cast bloom and accelerated the precipitation of pure SiOphase in the formed MnO-SiO-AlOinclusions. As a result, the inclusions characterized by dual-phase structure of pure SiOin MnO-SiO-AlOmatrix were observed in both as-cast and reheated blooms. Moreover, the ratio of such dual-phase SiO-type inclusions witnessed an obvious increase from 0 to 25.4 pct before and after casting, whereas it changed little during the reheating and rolling. Therefore, it can be reasonably concluded that they were mainly formed during casting. Comparing the evolution of the inclusions composition and morphology in as-cast bloom and rolled products, a formation mechanism of the SiO-type inclusions in wire rods was proposed, which included (1) precipitation of SiOin the formed MnO-SiO-AlOinclusion during casting and (2) solid-phase separation of the undeformed SiOprecipitation from its softer MnO-SiO-AlOmatrix during multipass rolling.

Abstract Deploying optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction and energy dispersive spectrometer analysis. This article analyze the categories and shapes of carbides of three different positions in H13 ingot after annealing: upside, middle and bottom of ingot. It is found that the microstructure of H13 after annealing is composed of granular pearlite+ small amounts of ferrite and carbide phase. The categories of carbides mainly include M23C6 and MC, precipitation temperatures of which are figured out through thermodynamic calculation. Through the test of mechanical properties, it is found sample at the bottom has the optimal mechanical property. Through statistics of amounts and average sizes of precipitates and calculation of precipitation strengthening, it is found that, from upside to bottom of H13 after annealing, the size of precipitates decreases with increase of precipitation volume fraction, and contributions of precipitates to yield strength enhance gradually.

Beware of misleading information available on the internet, and find a reputable source of information. The following paragraphs contain multilevel marketing ideas that are up to date, truthful and beneficial to you.
Many people have the mistaken notion that quantity trumps quality when it comes to network marketing. In reality, quality always wins. A successful network needs people who work hard to spread its connecting lines, thus bringing profit to all the network members.
When you are engaged in multilevel marketing, visualization of success is one of your most important tools. This may sound overly trite and extremely generic, but in this type of marketing, seeing the future is important as the size of your network determines your level of success. In MLM, positive visualization can be extremely effective, and it is a very wise practice.
When you have learned from your mistakes, you are in an excellent position to move forward to success. Review the areas in which you have not done as well as you could, and make every effort to understand what went wrong. When you can study how you failed, you will be able to see what methods do and do not work for you.
If you have unique qualities, anyone can be interested. The most important goal is for you to get your product out there so your potential clients can make a decision for themselves.
One of the keys to successful multilevel marketing is to maintain a current database of email contacts upon which you regularly draw. Regardless of whether you buy the list or use comments from your site, you should have a very large list if you want to grow your profits.
Make an effort to let your networking contacts call the shots in a conversation. It is easier for you to promote your product, if you take the time to get to know your networking contacts. You know their needs, wants, fears and dreams, so you can direct your market to them.
Success depends on your willingness to work hard, doing your research and being persistent. If you can implement these tactics, you can be successful.

urinary calcium and renal stones
Calcium oxalate crystals can form at any pH and have various microscopic morphologies. It is estimated that about half of the oxalate in urine comes from ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which is a precursor to oxalate. Calcium oxalate crystals are also associated with ethylene glycol ingestion, another oxalate precursor. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), the main component of marine shells and egg shells, can be found as small granular crystals in alkaline urine. Calcium carbonate crystals are not common in urine but when present can be mistaken for bacteria. Calcium phosphate (CaHPO4 or Ca[H2PO4]2) crystals can have different morphologies depending on their state of hydration and can be present in the urine sediment of neutral or slightly alkaline or acidic urine.
Eventhough calcium is involved in majority of stones....its measurement in urine is of limited value in predicting/diagnosing renal stones.This is because of a lot of other factors involved in stone formation( citrate, oxalate, urine Ph etc). Risk assessment using ratios such as the calcium/magnesium ratio, the calcium/citrate ratio, and the (calcium * oxalate)/(magnesium * citrate) ratio have met with little success, and are regarded to play a supplementary role in evaluation of renal stones.( Ped Nephrol 2009)
But Urine calcium can be used in assessing patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. A study done comparing biochemical parameters and treatment outcomes in stone formers with hyperparathyroidism Vs those without systemic disease...found ..a greater amount of calcium excretion in urine of stone formers with hperparathyroidism than in stone formers without systemic disease.(Brit J of Urol 2009) .Thus high Calcium creatinine clearance rate(or calcium creatinine ratio > 0.20) can be helpful in patients with hyperparathyroidism in predicting/assessing risk for stone formation. Interestingly, parathyroidectomy did not reverse the hypercalciuria or hypophosphatemia in these patients.
Increased Urinary calcium - > 300mg/24 hours
Increased calcium creatinine ratio - > 0.2
A quick word about diet in calcium stones---- is reducing calcium in diet doesnt help( again because of multiple factors involved in stone formation). But reducing oxalate consumption prevents crystal formation and reduces stone formation.Have a look at this article from NEJM 2002 (hope u all have access)

The 19th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum kicked off in St. Petersburg, Russia, on June 19. Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli delivered a speech at the annual meeting of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Wang Yupu, Chairman of Sinopec Group, attended the meeting and delivered a speech at the energy summit of the Forum.
As the largest integrated petroleum and petrochemical company in China with upstream, midstream and downstream operations, Sinopec has made great progress in the field of energy and petrochemical cooperation in Russia, said Wang in his speech. Sinopec will actively participate in the projects of oil & gas exploration, refining and chemical engineering in the Far East Region of Russia to strengthen the cooperation with Russia.
During his visit to Russia, Wang visited Udmurtia Petroleum Corporation (UDM), a joint venture owned by Rosneft Oil and Sinopec. Wang expected UDM could sum up cooperation experiences, expand cooperative scope and play the supporting roles of Sinopec and Rosneft to create greater value for the shareholders.
Wang also met with Rosneft President Igor Sechin, PDVSA President Eulogio Del Pino and Lukoil President Vagit Alekperov, exchanging views with them on existing cooperation and potential cooperation opportunities in energy.

Please watch the video before reading further.
So now I assume you've watched the video. What started as an odd but perfectly acceptable foodstuff has since made me feel (and be) rather ill. And on the whole, if something makes me feel ill, it tends to be for a pretty good reason-invariably alcohol was put in, but sometimes just from being a bad mix. And this is one of those latter cases. Of course I would love to hear from other people who try this to see if it's just me, but only do so if you're absolutely fine with the negative consequences. That is all.

*Two City of Detroit media producers have been nominated for the Emmy Award in the category of Historic/Cultural – Program Special.
Phylecia Wilson and cohort Sanders 'Skip' Bryant IV will compete against each other in the same category – Wilson for The Style of Motown, and Bryant for Going Back to Motown both of which were telecast locally on Comcast Channel 10.
To qualify, entrants must have had their first broadcast, cablecast or webcast in the Michigan Region during the eligibility period – January 1st to December 31st of the preceding year. All entries must be submitted as originally telecast or webcast without any post-telecast production changes.
The Michigan Emmy Awards is a chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (MI-NATAS). The Southfield, Michigan division was founded in 1980.

Upon hearing the news Wilson said "I am so excited…I have been rehearsing my acceptance speech for something like this for years! When I was a little girl I used to practice in the mirror."
Claudette Robinson – an original member of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles said after viewing the programs, "Fantastic!! I love it! Good luck to Phylecia and Sanders."
Speaking of miracles, Wilson (Videographer) graduated from Specs Howard School of Media Arts in 2014; she just celebrated her first-year anniversary of employment with the City of Detroit in April 2015; and already is up for a prestigious award. She says, "I worked my way into the industry back in 2002, with the uncertainty of how far this career could go. Throughout this journey God has consistently assured me that this is my purpose and the sky is the limit. I'm thankful for all my mentors that have guided me along the way. This is truly a dream come true. If you can see it you can achieve it."
This is Bryant's fourth nomination one of which is for his production of a tribute to Detroit's former mayor Dave Bing. His many other creative projects include: Coca-Cola promotional van design; Tyler Perry & TD Jakes "Woman Thou Art Loosed" Scenic Art; "Diddy's House" Sean "Diddy" Combs Super Bowl XL Party; Mary J.

I'm very, very grateful."

National Volunteers Week 2017 Interview
Questions for the Voluntary Action Angus Interview
Interview with Gary Malone who is very passionate about volunteering and everything a person can gain from the whole experience. There are currently 6,800 active volunteers within Angus right now: out of a 28,500 population that's 32%, making Angus the 4th highest area in Scotland for volunteering.
- What do you think is the best thing about volunteering?
Volunteering is a phenomenal journey between two people, it's an act of humanity to bring people together. Volunteering is a way to bring people together for a 'money can't buy' experience. All people should experience this kind of opportunity.
- Are more young people choosing to volunteer now than previously?
Looking at the Saltire Awards results the number of young people volunteering now is a lot less than in previous years. Angus used to have the highest rate of volunteering in Scotland. However, there is still a lot of enthusiasm out there: after a visit to Webster's High School in Kirriemuir, I signed up 106 young people, who all gained a valuable volunteering experience.
- What do young people gain from Volunteering?
Research shows that young people gain confidence, a sense of purpose, pride, more friends in their lives and a greater influence. Like I said: a 'money can't buy experience'!
- How do people go about volunteering?
The best way to start volunteering in Angus is to contact Voluntary Action Angus. There are then three categories.
Category one is someone who is confident and knows what they would like to do but don't have the right contacts: VAA would help by sharing contact details.
Category two is someone who lacks a bit of confidence and isn't so sure. VAA would support this person a little more to develop in to the volunteer role and find the right match for them,
Category three is where a person has some additional support needs. There is a structured program in place to support them into a volunteer role that will work well for them.
- What do employers think about volunteering?
Some companies such as NHS wouldn't function as they currently do without volunteers. In certain industry areas like care and advocacy there is a real volunteering culture, with employees working alongside community volunteers. For employers, having volunteers brings unique experiences, expands reach and encourages greater connection and empathy with local communities.
- What type of work has seen an increase in the number of volunteers?
There has been a bit of a decrease in charities looking for volunteers due to the lack of resources, with the biggest increase in the public sector, particularly in health.
- What types of volunteering is available right now?
Volunteering works best when you meet someone and get to know them and then match them to something that suits their needs and strengths. Success in volunteering is about wanting to volunteer and being engaged in what you do.
Volunteer Scotland has lots of information about opportunities and volunteering in general.
- What do you have planned for Volunteers week 2017?)
There is a variety of events all over Angus for volunteers week 2017, including;
food offered daily at the Voluntary Action Angus centre in Forfar, 'It's a knockout' fun days all over Angus and a celebration BBQ for volunteers.

Motel 6 Plotted With ICE to Deport Immigrants, Guests Claim
(Bloomberg) -- A woman and her husband checked into a Motel 6 on June 28, 2017, seeking air-conditioned relief from Phoenix temperatures surpassing 100 degrees.
The next morning, the couple was awakened by immigration agents pounding on the door and subsequently detained. Two days later, the wife was deported to Mexico. She blames the motel.
Jane N. and her husband, John M., are among eight people identified by pseudonyms who claim in a lawsuit that the discount chain disclosed its guest logs to federal immigration agents so they could round up undocumented residents. In a complaint filed Tuesday as a class action in Arizona federal court, they accuse parent company G6 Hospitality of conspiring with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to violate their rights under the U.S. Constitution and Arizona's false imprisonment law.
Motel 6 said it put all of its 1,400 locations on notice in September that they are "prohibited from voluntarily providing daily guests lists to (ICE)."
"While we cannot comment on specific pending litigation, we take this issue and the privacy of our guests very seriously," company spokeswoman Raiza Rehkoff said in a statement.
'Company Policy'
Jane N. thinks otherwise. In her complaint, she accuses Motel 6 of willful cooperation with ICE "in violation of the company's written assurances that it protects the privacy of its guests." Both Phoenix properties are owned by G6 Hospitality, not individual franchisees, according to a copy of the lawsuit provided by the plaintiffs' lawyers. The filing wasn't immediately available from the court.
As early as February 2017, Motel 6 directed its employees to provide guest registration information to ICE agents, or to "act for the benefit of law enforcement" when approached by ICE, according to the complaint, which was brought by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
That's less than a month after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who promised on the campaign trail to deport "bad hombres" of Latino heritage and build a border wall with Mexico. He has since called for faster deportations and announced plans to end an Obama administration program protecting undocumented children brought to the country. ICE has said deportations surged 40% in the first 100 days of Trump's administration.
Washington Suit
Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson sued the company on Jan. 3, accusing it of violating state privacy and discrimination laws by providing to ICE agents some 9,000 names, including some subsequently detained Latinos.
All eight of the people suing in Arizona were detained from a pair of Motel 6 branches outside Phoenix from June 25, 2017, to July 18. In all but one instance, they presented Motel 6 staff with Mexican identification cards, which were then photocopied. In the case of Jane V., who stayed at Motel 6 with her four children, ICE agents entered her hotel room allegedly waiving a sheet of paper with her name and room number on it. The paper also carried Motel 6's logo, according to the filing.
"As was the plan, no arrest or search warrants were ever obtained by ICE for any guests at any Motel 6 locations," according to the complaint. "Instead, without judicial or administrative warrants, ICE agents supported by Motel 6 and its employees, unlawfully detained, interrogated and arrested individuals without cause or consent and in violation of guests' Constitutional rights."
Jane V. says her kids are afraid of being left alone in America.
"It was a terrifying experience," Jane V., who's now facing deportation proceedings. "You live with fear everyday."
The case is Unknown Party v. Motel 6, 2:18-cv-00242, U.S. District Court, District of Arizona (Phoenix).
