By Marc Sorenson, EdD, for sun exposure and children's health…
It is well-known that sun exposure is associated with a reduced risk of many major cancers in adults. But what about children? A California study has shown that sun exposure during pregnancies also influences the childhood cancer risk of children who are a result of those pregnancies.[1] In this research, sun exposure, based on the geographical area where the women lived while pregnant, was measured. Then their children were compared in terms of childhood cancer risk, based on high or low sun exposure. Those children whose mothers experienced more sun exposure were less likely to develop acute lymphoblastic leukemia, hepatoblastoma, and non-hodgkin's lymphoma. The authors of the study make this summary statement: "Our findings suggest that UVR during pregnancy may decrease the odds of some childhood cancers. Future studies should explore additional factors that may be correlated with UVR exposure and possibly include biomarkers of immune function and vitamin D."
We have discussed in previous blogs the association of sunlight deficiency during women's pregnancies and the subsequent risk of profoundly increased autism in their children. Therefore, similar results with cancer are not surprising. Safe, non-burning sun exposure has positive effects on at least 100 of the most frightening diseases, many of which will be discussed in my upcoming book that is coauthored by Dr. William B. Grant, and entitled Embrace the Sun. Children, even babies, need at least some sun exposure. And children, if they do not get outdoors in the sun are also subject to a remarkable increase in the risk of myopia.[2]
Take care of your children. Be sure that they play in the sunlight each day, without sunscreen. If any reddening occurs, put them in the shade or cover them up. But don't deny them their share of sunshine; if you do, their risk of childhood cancers may increase.

By Marc Sorenson, EdD. For sun exposure…
It should be well-known by now, but the relationship between sun exposure and myopia (nearsightedness) is still being studied. And as before, the answer is the same: sun deprivation is associated to a greater myopia risk. The difference in this research was the study population, which was a random sample of participants 65 years and older from Europe.[1] Among the factors that the researchers considered important, were vitamin D blood levels, vitamin D polymorphisms, ultraviolet B radiation (UVB), and years in education. Of these factors, only ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) was associated with reduced odds for myopia, especially if higher UVB exposure occurred during adolescence and early adulthood. This is another research paper that shows sun exposure to be protective against a disease, independent of vitamin D.
The authors of the study made this conclusion: "This study, while not designed to determine cause and effect relationships, suggests that increased ultraviolet B exposure, a marker of sunlight exposure, is associated with reduced myopia.
This is one in a long line of studies that show the relationship of sun exposure to myopia, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine that myopia is caused by lack of sun exposure. The evidence has been building for years. For example, one of the studies showed that the lowest risk of myopia among 12-year-old students was found among those who reported the highest levels of outdoor activity.[2] Some might surmise that the key ingredient was exercise, but that idea was refuted by the fact that there was no association between indoor activity and myopia. Something besides exercise had to be leading to the lower risk of myopia among children who were actively outdoors; it had to be sun. The lower risk of myopia persisted after adjusting for genetic factors, ethnicity and the amount of near work. This is important, because for many years there was an assumption that long hours of study indoors, staring closely at books (near work) and never focusing on distant objects, led to myopia. This study belied that error.
This same research showed that the prevalence of myopia among Chinese children living in Singapore was 29.1%, whereas Chinese children living in Sydney, Australia, had a prevalence rate of only 3.3%. The children in Sydney spent about 13.8 hours per week outdoors compared to 3.05 hours in Singapore. In other words, the children who spent most or their lives indoors had 9.5 times the risk of developing myopia!
Depriving either adults or children of their time in the sunlight leads to myriad illnesses, only one of which is myopia. When will we learn?

By Marc Sorenson, EdD, Sunlight Institute…
Several scientific investigations have linked sunlight deprivation to nearsightedness (myopia), and many of these have been discussed on previous blogs. The latest used rhesus monkeys as subjects.[i] These monkeys were reared either with natural lighting for three hours daily or indoor lighting. As we might expect, those that were raised with indoor lighting developed myopia, whereas those raised with natural lighting did not develop the disorder. The eye dimensions became abnormal in the monkeys that were exposed only to indoor light, and problems with refraction, due to eye elongation, were noted.
There is no doubt that sun deprivation is a factor that leads to blindness. Others obviously feel the same way. Here I quote from Dr. Hobday, writing in Perspectives of Public Health: "A century ago, it was widely believed that high levels of daylight in classrooms could prevent myopia, and as such, education departments built schools with large windows to try to stop children from becoming short-sighted. This practice continued until the 1960s, from which time myopia was believed to be an inherited condition. In the years that followed, less emphasis was placed on preventing myopia. It has since become more common, reaching epidemic levels in East Asia. Recent research strongly suggests that the amount of light children get as they grow determines whether they will develop short sight; however, evidence that daylight in classrooms prevents myopia is lacking. Given the rapid increase in prevalence among school children worldwide, this should be investigated."[ii]
Others are also concerned and state that eye elongation and progression of myopia decrease in periods with longer days and to increase in periods with shorter days.[iii] According to these researchers, "children should be encouraged to spend more time outside during daytime to prevent myopia."

[iii] Cui D, Trier K, Munk Ribel-Madsen S. Effect of day length on eye growth, myopia progression, and change of corneal power in myopic children. Ophthalmology. 2013 May; 120(5):1074-9
You may not realize that sunlight is critical for good vision in children, but in my opinion, the science provides incontrovertible evidence. A new study has corroborated the findings of a number of earlier investigations.
The Daily Mail, a UK newspaper, reported that "Too much time indoors damages children's eyes: Lack of natural sunlight thought to be driving up rates of short-sightedness among the young.[i]" They also mention that Chinese children are now being sent to schools with translucent walls to prevent the nearsightedness associated with lack of sunlight.
By: Marc Sorenson, Sunlight Institute–
Among the many other horrors associated with lack of sunlight, myopia (nearsightedness) is now becoming of scientific interest. In the latest article written on the subject, Robin Wuffson, MD, discusses the research from Denmark, showing that deterioration of the eye leading to myopia (in children aged 8-14) is more common in the winter than in the summer months.[1]
Another piece of research, reported only a few months ago, showed that actual exposure of the eye to sunlight was protective against myopia in people aged 15 to 50 years.[2] If you search this site, you will find several other posts on sunlight and myopia. In my opinion the link is now irrefutable: Lack of sunlight can now be added to the list of environmental and nutritional mistakes that can lead to blindness.

[2] Sherwin JC, Hewitt AW, Coroneo MT, Kearns LS, Griffiths LR, Mackey DA. The association between time outdoors and myopia. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2012 Jul 1;53(8):4363-70.
Another in a line of studies on sunlight and myopia (near-sightedness) demonstrates that people who spend more time is the sun are less likely to have this pandemic vision problem. Other research on the relationship of sunlight exposure and myopia, some of it reported in my book, primarily considered the risk of myopia in children. This new investigation, however, surveyed young adults, and found that those who had the lowest exposure to sunlight were twice as likely to contract myopia.
Myopia is not an insignificant problem; when severe, it may lead to blindness. Obviously, we need to make sure that our eyes receive some sunlight regularly to help prevent this widespread disorder.
Evidence continues to accumulate that sunlight is necessary to normal growth and development of children's eyes; without sunlight, myopia (nearsightedness) develops. It should be a priority for each family to assure that children leave their computers and video games behind for a few hours daily and play like normal children should–in the sunlight.

Roofing Advice That Can Save You A Hassle
Your roof is constantly being exposed to the elements, so it is amazing that it lasts as long as it does. However, no roof lasts forever. Eventually, you are going to have to replace or repair your roof. When this happens, arm yourself with the information in this article so you can have the job done right.
Visit your attic a few times a year. Doing this can help you to find a small problem that may exist with your roof before it becomes a larger and more expensive problem. A good idea is to take a look at the change of each season so that you do it at least four times each year.
In the winter months, be sure your roof is equipped with ice and rain shields. Also, make sure it has proper ventilation. Your home is heated by the wall line and this is where ice tends to build up. It is the build up of this ice that can cause interior leaks.
Do not choose a roofer based solely on price. Sure, cheaper prices may be good for your pocket, but it could be an indication that you are not going to get the quality work you need. Check out the BBB to find out if a potential roofer is someone you can trust.
See if your roofer offers a warranty. Even if you're working with an excellent contractor, mistakes can happen, and you want to be sure you're covered. Typically, most roofers offer warranties for roof replacements, but not the cost of replacements. See what's available, consider it when you're deciding who you should work with.
Putting on a roof is not easy, which is why most roofers are in their twenties or thirties. Go out of your way to offer the workers a glass of lemonade or bring them out a small snack. Your thoughtfulness may be just the extra incentive they need to give you the best work possible.
While you should leave heavy duty work up to professionals, there's lots of preventative maintenance you can do to keep your roof in great shape. Keep an eye out for shingles that need to be repaired or replaced, and make sure your flashing and underlining are in good condition. With a little effort, you can avoid big repair jobs altogether.
Always keep safety in mind. If you will be going up on your roof, be sure that you think about what you are doing and be as safe as possible. If there is any moisture, such as rain, ice or snow, wait for it to dry off before going up on your roof.
When you see that your shingles are curling up or even buckling, it is time for a new roof. While it may seem like a small problem to start, once one shingle curls, the rest will quickly follow. Have them all replaced to ensure you don't have and problems with leaks.
When your roof is leaking or damaged, it is too late to start learning about roofing. You need to learn as much as you can while your roof is still in good shape. Study the information from this article, and then look here https://kbroofers.tumblr.com/ so that you can get the roofing work you need done properly.

Sassafras Images, Photos and Facts
Sassafras is one my favorite trees. It smells good, makes good lumber and stands out in a crowd. It only falls short on my overall checklist because it doesn't produce a fruit that we would normally eat, but it is used for flavoring root beer, which kicks it back up near the top.
This time of year (early fall) is when the sassafras really starts to shine. It is one of the first trees to start turning and has few rivals in the color department. Most of the trees around St. Louis are still green, but the sassafras is bright red. The leaves are often a mix of vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, similar to the fall colors of sugar maples.
Sassafras is the ideal tree for a school leaf project because it has three leaf shapes. Everyone will be astonished and amazed when you show them first the football-shaped leaf, then pull out the mitten-shaped leaf, and finally, unveil the three-lobed leaf – all from the same tree (you might want to end with the mitten, it's the cutest).
After you dazzle the audience with the leaf shapes, be sure to grind up the leaves in your hand and let everyone get a good smell. No other tree is as fragrant as sassafras. The lemony-fresh scent will have them lining up to buy Murphy's oil soap and clean your kitchen. And, if you aren't sure if it's a sassafras, just smell it, even a blind person can tell if it's sassafras.
If you go hunting for sassafras leaves look along property edges, where this normally wiry tree hangs out in clusters and new trees sprout up from the roots of others. They are usually small and crooked, reaching wherever possible to get to the light, but occasionally they are big and straight.
When it comes time to harvest a sassafras and turn it into lumber, get ready. If you thought the leaves smelled, just wait until you have a nose full of sassafras sawdust. That scent will linger in your head for days, but it will remind you that you have some of the best-working wood in your hands. This soft hardwood dries flat, is lightweight and works like butter. The wood itself isn't too showy and looks like a green-tinted ash when fresh cut. But, after a little time, the green turns to a rich, medium brown and looks like no other.
If you have a photograph of a piece that you have built out of sassafras, please let me know, so I can share it with others (I promise not to take all of the credit).

Say Hello to Valdryk
Thank you so much for all you do. I do a lot of volunteer work for the government and am usually on the "giving" end of this all so this is a new unique experience for me. I am so extremely grateful and thankful. Since I have not been able to work my normal job due to my health and preserving Valdryk's it has caused such a strain on our family. I can't wait until he is born and safe in his little bassinet so I can contribute once again wholly and financially to my family.
My husband has been such an angel I am truly blessed. He is a wonderful Marine, I am a former Marine so I guess that makes me qualified to say that, ha ha..
Thank you and every one for your care and concern. It is tough being a military family at times. We have lost so many friends in Iraq leaving behind children lately, it's been a little harder on our family with a new baby coming. I can see the hurt in my husbands eyes whenever any one mentions to my husband about missing the birth. That in itself is an entire different combat battle. The thoughtfulness of yourself and
others is really helping our family pull through this. Just knowing others care means so much to us.
My husband and I are Ordained Ministers and we pray so deeply for every one who opens their hearts to others they do not even know. You

A message from a New Mom
Today I got this e-mail from her.
I received your gift yesterday. Thank you so much. It was absolutely
wonderful. I know that Baby M. will look beautiful in all the
wonderful blankets and hats. The little pig is also adorable and I am
sure she will love cuddling with it.
This is a great organization you have going here. I often feel like I'm the only one going through this and that no one understands, but after your gift and prayers, I know that we are going to be alright with the help and care of people like you.
Thank you so much. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I appreciate it.
Thanks again,
I wanted to share this note with all of our donors. The families of our service men and women face so many challenges and sacrifices, and even the smallest gift of a hat or blanket really can go a long way in bringing a smile.
Thank you all for your continued support!

A friend posted the other day that this year we should try to mark the day by doing something good. I think that's the best way to manage any emotions I may be feeling. Memories are still fresh.
I woke up sort of forgetting the date, until I turned on my PC. Then I had a wierd feeling. I think it's a day to remember, but a day to really LIVE too, and it's still early to know how to balance all that.
Then I got an e-mail. Last week Deb copied me on an e-mail from an expecting mom who's husband is in Iraq. She had read about Operation Marine Corps Kids and was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Deb and I both wrote back. This morning I got an e-mail from her. Her little girl arrived on Sunday! Daddy hasn't seen her yet, but they did get to speak on the phone.
So today I will be packing up a box from the donations we received and sending it to her. I know that the mom is appreciative, but timing is everything. On 9-11 I get to send her a package, and I get to remember all the brave people who died 6 years ago and our troops who are overseas, while also focusing on moving forward, the next generation, and hope for the future.

A Special Request
While we continue with our regular collections, I am posting today about a special collection that we are organizing for a soldier who is deployed with the Army in Afghanistan. He and his wife are expecting – not just one, but five children!!!
The couple is adopting five children from Ethiopia. The new mom is currently en route to the US with the kids to get their US citizenship, then they will be going to Germany where her husband is based. We would like to create a special gift package to welcome them into their new family.
Overnight this family will grow from a couple to a family of seven including six year-old twin girls, 4 year-old boy and girl twins, and a one year-old baby girl. Mom will be on her own with the kids until dad completes his tour of duty.
We will be collecting hand-crafted blankets, toys, hats, scarves, mittens, and sweaters – anything that these kids might need to help them feel welcomed and to help them deal with a climate that is a bit cooler than what they may be used to.
If you are interested in making something for these children, please feel free to e-mail me at email@example.com. While we appreciate all donations, we want to organize this one to ensure that all the kids receive an appropriate number of gifts.
The Few. The Proud. The Marines.
The United States Marine Corps and JWT are honored to announce that "The
Few. The Proud. The Marines." has been nominated BEST SLOGAN for the
Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame. More than just a slogan, these
three sentences represent what Marines are all about, epitomizing the
challenge of becoming (The Few), and the reward of being (The Proud), one
of the elite (The Marines). Suffice it to say, Few slogans convey such a
Proud tradition.
With your help, we now have the opportunity to immortalize these words as
an American cultural icon. The Marine Corps will compete with 26 others for
entry into the hall of fame based upon total number of votes received
The winning slogan will be etched on a plaque, and set alongside other
time-honored brands on Madison Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets.
We ask that you vote for "The Few. The Proud. The Marines." by going to
this website and voting.
Be sure to pass this email along to your co workers, family members and
friends so that they may also vote. We are confident a concentrated effort
will deliver "The Few. The Proud. The Marines." into the hall of fame, in
its rightful place among elite American slogans. Thank you for your
I placed my vote, and am sharing the link in hopes that you'll vote too! It's another easy way to support our brave Marines!
Of course your hand-crafted donations for Marine Corps Kids are still being accepted and distributed. It's a wonderful way to show our support for the families!

Automated Measurement of Metastable Zones for Pharmaceutical Compounds
The automated laboratory reactor combined with turbidity meter method was used successfully to measure the metastable zone for a pharmaceutical intermediate, thus providing useful information to aid the development of the crystallization process for that compound.
Minimisation of Scale-up Difficulties
This article discusses what chemists and engineers can do in advance, both in the laboratory and kilo laboratory, to prevent or at least minimise scaleup issues. Scale-up of chemical processes, particularly those involving batch or semi-batch manufacture is well-known to be a problematic area of chemistry and chemical engineering, and can be costly when it goes wrong. By correctly choosing and designing the synthetic route to a fine chemical or drug substance, as well as controlling the reaction and work up/product isolation parameters, many of the difficulties in scale up can be avoided. The more complex a process is in terms of chemistry and unit operations, the more there is to go wrong.
Multi-scale segmentation image analysis for the in-process monitoring of particle shape
On-line imaging represents a potentially powerful technique for real-time monitoring of the morphological forms during crystal growth, but a major challenge is the availability of methods for image analysis that need to be tolerant to the quality of on-line images, accurate, fast and robust. This paper describes a multi-scale segmentation methodology for analysis of images obtained for batch cooling crystallisation of (L)-glutamic acid using an on-line high-speed imaging system developed by the pharmaceutical manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline. The method proves to be able to analyse effectively the on-line images of different crystal morphological forms, and of varied qualities.

Voodoo Music Experience
I just received an application for a press pass for the Voodoo Music Experience that's held in New Orleans over the Halloween weekend. It doesn't get as much notice as the Jazz Fest, but it three days of big name music and a lot of local acts. Over the last few years the Voodoo Fest has made a big effort to bring in a lot of local musicians to play as well as the national ones. The French Quarter Fest actually gave me a press pass this year. Yea, it's a free event so they weren't out any money but it was still kind of cool wearing a badge for press around the show. I'd like to cover the Voodoo Show for Voices to hear so I'm hoping that they'll give me a press pass. Not really expecting them to, since my site is very small and they get a lot of big time media to cover it, but I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.

The Tudors
In my time away from you all I've been watching the first two seasons of The Tudors from Showtime. Best Buy had them on sale for $15.00 a season. It was worth it to give the shows a try, at the normal thirty dollars a season there was no way I would have ever picked them up. I'm glad I did. At the time I started watching the first season I picked up a book that I've had sitting in my bookcase for years and never got around to reading. It was "The Six Wives of Henry VIII."
It was strange reading and watching the show at the same time. Somehow I kept my reading along what was going on in the show. I couldn't remember what happened to his first wife Katherine of Argon and I wasn't sure if I was going to read about it or see it on the show. I actually started to get ahead in the book and discovered her fate reading it and later watched it on the show.
Now you can complain that The Tudors is just historical soap opera, but life in Henry VIII's court was nothing sort of a grand soap opera at the time. Reading the book I was surprised by how historical accurate the show was. Some of the lines from the show are straight from history. It made the times when they deviated from the truth hit harder for me. The whole subplot of Henry marrying his sister to the King of Portugal was completely wrong. It was his younger sister and she married the King of France, but she does end up marrying Henry's friend after her husband dies and she returns to England.
It just made me wonder why when they did such a good job of sticking to the truth most of the time, that they had to change things in some occasions. I'm sure they thought they had to keep the number of characters down or whatever reason, but to me it was no excuse. Stick to what happened.
Still I have enjoyed the first two seasons and plan to eventually purchase the final two seasons. I finished the book and went right into reading the sequel by the author, "The Children of Henry VIII." A very fascinating time. The problem is that the second book ends with Elizabeth becoming Queen, so now I have to find a book about her.

As you can see there's been a few changes to the site. Consider it a late spring cleaning. I've got rid of a lot of the stuff on the sidebar, so hopefully it'll help load faster. I'm still trimming, so I might lose a few more things before it's all said and done. It's a brighter and cleaner look, hope you all like it.
I'm also considering some major changes in my life at the moment. Hopefully for the better. I'll know more in the next week or two and let everyone know.
And finally my computer has been acting up so much lately, that's it hard for me to be online very long. I think it's my modem but haven't had a chance to really check it out yet. Hopefully I'll get that fixed and be online a little bit more than my vanishing self lately.

Take the health and hygiene levels of your home or business premises to the next level by booking wheelie bin cleaning London. This quick, simple, and sensibly priced service from 24/7 Waste Removal is a great way to keep your domestic or commercial environment sanitary and healthy. It works like this:
Domestic Wheelie Bin Cleaning

Excess water is mopped up and the bin is sprayed with a disinfecting solution before being allowed to dry and placed back into position.
Commercial Bin Cleaning Service
The lorry used for bin washing will accommodate anything from a standard 240 litre container right up to an 1100 litre commercial waste container. You'll be choosing a bin cleaning company that works in partnership with shops, offices, cafes, restaurants, and a range of other local businesses. Any waste material collected in the cleaning process is captured and stored for safe disposal in line with all local and national requirements.

A report shows that according to the U.S. Census, almost 5% of all Kalamazoo County residents are foreign-born. If you are an immigrant seeking to maintain your legal right to stay in the U.S. or a family member of a student or worker trying to obtain permanent residency, you need to carefully consider hiring an immigration attorney to help you on your journey to citizenship. U.S. immigration laws have become increasingly complex and even inconsistent at times. Do not wait until it is too late, call Kriezelman, Burton & Associates, LLC to get help today.
There are many ways to become a U.S. citizen, but it can be difficult to know what is right for you. In general, you must be a permanent resident (hold a green card) for at least five years, or you can qualify after three years if you are married to a U.S. citizen. There is also a citizenship exam.
The real challenge is obtaining permanent residency status. Many people come to the U.S. for work or school, while others come to be close to family who are already living in this country. Here are some of the ways that people immigrate to the U.S.
When you are trying to keep your residency status or avoid deportation, you need an immigration attorney who understands the process both from inside and outside of the immigration court system. The attorneys of Kriezelman, Burton & Associates, LLC have years of experience helping immigrants and aspiring Americans obtain and keep their residency.
From work visas to student visas, and so much more, our attorneys know what it takes to help immigrants protect their rights and stay in the country they love. Here are just a few ways we can often help:
Immigration courts are not the same as traditional U.S. courts. In fact, immigration courts are presided over by judges who are politically appointed. This means there is often less independence in decision making. Likewise, the volume of cases that judges must decide can be overwhelming. For instance, there are approximately 330 immigration judges in just 58 immigration courts around the country. On average, many judges maintain regular caseloads of more than 1,000 cases at any given time.
This can make it difficult to give each case the time and attention that it deserves. For those who are not represented by attorneys, judges may make certain assumptions or rely on gut instinct to move cases, rather than taking the time to research the law.
By having an experienced immigration lawyer on your side, you give yourself a bit of an edge and a strong advantage when fighting to maintain your right to stay in the U.S. If you are facing removal, criminal actions, or just need help after overstaying your visa, give Kriezelman, Burton & Associates, LLC a call today.
"Brittni was a wonderful lawyer for us. We were so clueless about the green card process and Brittni was there all hours all days and answered every question promptly. She was extremely helpful knowledgeable and kind during our entire process. This is the only group of attorneys I would recommend - we had gone to several others before this one. Thank you so much for going above and beyond and always putting us at ease! "
"Kevin was handling our case from the first day. It was a long process for us but Kevin made sure that we were all prepared with the proper documents and what we needed to submit. In the end my husband got his green card. We can't thank Kevin enough for his dedication and hard work. "
"My husband and I , hired Mr.Kriezelman and his firm for our complicated immigration case. But his team and himself, made sure that our case was taken seriously. My husband was finally able to meet and see his family after ten years. We'll forever be thankful for their time, dedication and hard work that they put on our case. Also, want to thank Maria Salas for always being there to answer our concerns and questions throughout this whole lengthy process. "
"All people working good help "
"Thanks for everything! Jeffrey Kriezelman and Kevin Raica did an awesome job on my case. I would recommend them to anyone who needs the best attorneys in Illinois (and probably beyond). Highly recommend!"
"Liza received her green card last Friday and I can't explain how happy we are. I wanted to send you a quick note and let you know we are so appreciative with the way you handled our case. We talked to a number of lawyers prior to meeting you, but there was something they were all missing and we felt we couldn't trust any of them. You had a strong presentation and you sounded like you knew what you were talking about right off the bat. Regardless of a delay in the process, you certainly lived up to our expectations. We are so glad we met you and I just wanted to say thank you for your services."
"My husband was in a position to be deported and when I met Erin Cobb she jumped right on it and had it stopped and got him home with us. Later Lauren McClure jumped in to take over when Erin got too busy she jumped in like she had been with our case from the beginning! These two ladies saved our family from being separated and they worked their hearts out to make that possible! I will forever be grateful to them! If you need an immigration attorney these ladies are your people! Thanks so much ladies for all your hard work!!!!"
"I applied for citizenship and spoke to a few attorneys before meeting Kevin. Kevin is very knowledgeable as he has quite a few years in his practice. The atmosphere was always relaxed when working with Kevin, whether over the phone, via email or in person. When the time came for the interview with the immigration officer, that worked well too. Kevin and the officer knew each other. Kevin wrote up a very nice summary of my application for the officer to read. I am happy to say that I am now a citizen and if I choose to use the services of an attorney when I file for my wife-to-be, I will use Kevin and his firm. Thank you Kevin!"
"Thank you Matthew for your efforts. You were a great lawyer in your job and your personal transaction."
"After visiting couple of Lawyers Justin Burton was the only one saying homest that that case wont work Where others Just wanna $. Thank you And will go back ."
"Without a doubt these are the best immigration lawyers around. Notably, Brittni Rivera is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and always keeps her clients informed of what is going on. These are fighters in the courtroom for their clients rights. Don't go to anyone else!"
"I have dealt with few immigration attorneys in the past and even had a consultation with Justin Burton. I did not choose Justin or anyone from his office at the time and it was a mistake on my end. It is exciting to see how professionally and with precision they are handling my case now. I was very fortunate to meet Brittni Riviera, since my case was transferred to her. She is the best immigration lawyer I have ever met. Her knowledge, helpfulness, sharpness and respect gave me confidence in my case and realistic understanding of what is waiting for me in the future. My case is not over yet, but I know that Justin, Brittni and their team is what I need. Strongly recommend to consider them in any of your immigration matters."
"Mr. Kriezelman is great lawyer , and wonderful staff. I truly recommended ..."
"Mr. Burton is a wonderful lawyer. We are very thankful for all of the helpful services that he has provided for us and for the very kind and helpful staff. They were all very reliable to work with."
"Doing their job very professionally. Highly recommend."
"I sought the help of attorney Matt Kriezelman on an immigration case very important to me and my family. Every minute of working with him was an absolute pleasure. Not only did Matt meet with me for every single question and concern that I had (and I had very many) , but he did so on several occasions even after his business hours were over. He has helped me understand every paper that he filed, every law that would apply to our case and every single problem that we might encounter. Needless to say, every problem that we did encounter, Matt resolved effortlessly, or at least he made it seem effortless. He spent countless hours on our case and we just purchased my aunt's one way ticket to the United States from Serbia, which compelled me to write this review. My family will forever be grateful to Matt Kriezelman for taking on our case and uniting us."
"Justin Burton and his entire team are amazing. Very professional people highly organized very helpful. I'm very pleased working with them . Grateful"
"Very professional people highly organized very helpful. I'm very pleased working with them . I would highly recommend working with them if you have any kind of immigration issues."
"The way that my wife and I met Attorney Kriezelman was nothing short of a miracle. We got a reference from a Social Worker at the clinic we were attending while my wife was pregnant and pretty much told us to go to some Downtown address. We waited for what seemed like forever not knowing who was coming or what to expect. When Attorney Kriezelman did show up, he asked us some questions - pretty much asking who we were. At the end of the meeting he said there shouldn't be any problems with the immigration process. The following week we signed some papers at his office. A couple weeks after that, we had a hearing and we were approved. My wife got her residency card like 2 months later. What a blessing! God bless Attorney Kriezelman!"
"My husband and I visited 2 local immigration lawyers before meeting with Erin. We live about 3 hours from Chicago in Indiana. Within minutes of meeting Erin we knew she was going to be the one to help our family. She was warm, welcoming, very patient as we asked a lot of questions over and over. You could tell that she was very passionate about helping others. If it wasn't for her help we wouldn't be where we are today. Driving 3 hours just to see her was well worth it. We would do it a million times over again! If you are looking for an immigration attorney, I very highly recommend her!"
"Justin Burton and his ENTIRE team are amazing! I first went to Justin a few years ago because I had accidentally missed my interview date with immigration and I did not know what to do nor what was going to happen next. If it weren't Justin, I would still be dealing with the long and tiring immigration process. Justin and his team are extremely knowledgeable and caring. They are very respectful and let you know exactly what the process will be like! I was so pleased with Justin that I asked him to help me with my parent's case just recently. Needless to say, everything has been successful all thanks to Justin Burton and his team!"
"This is the best guy in town. no doubts about that.he worth every money we spend on him. Im not gonna go thru all story but enough to say 5 different lawyers i visit before him was giving me a zero chances for me. Bets man i town!!!!"
"Erin Cobb did an excellent job helping my wife obtain legal permanent resident status in the US. She and her team prepared us for the expected hurdles, walked us through the application process, filed the necessary DHS applications, and finally attended our in-person interview for her Green Card. Her estimated timeline was accurate and there were no surprises. Thanks Erin."
"Justin was recommended to thorough a friend that does professional corporate hiring abroad , krilaw handles all their immigration processes for them. Justin and staff won my case where a couple lawyers failed to deliver. Krilaw is a structured professional kind firm, I have sent them numerous referrals since a started working with them. If you know lawyers and been through a few you will see the difference and appreciate them from the start, and if you haven't hired an attorneys service before you will appreciate their care and patients. No matter how much I rant here it won't serve them justice, go get a consultation, and you will see what I'm talking about."
"We hired Justin Burton in 2012 for an immigration matter for my husband. He let us know right away what to expect, and everything has worked out as he explained every step of the way. Everyone at the office has been accommodating and helpful. The times that he has been unavailable by phone, there has always been someone else there to help us out. We have no problem paying for a service when we are getting what we want in the end."
How did we do?

My dear Hooker
I was most sincerely sorry to receive your little note, saying how dangerously ill Mrs. Henslow was.2 I am sure Mrs. Hooker & all at Hitcham have my most sincere sympathy. If the worst does happen & you make any stay at Hitcham do just say to my dear & most kind friend, Henslow, how truly I feel for his sorrow. I will not trouble him with writing to him.— To the last day of my life I shall feel under what deep obligations I lie to Henslow & Mrs. Henslow for their extraordinary kindness to me at Cambridge. How many pleasant little dinners I have had with them; & how invariably kind poor Mrs. Henslow was to me.3 I do hope she has not suffered much. They were like the nearest & most affectionate relations to me.—
My dear Hooker | Yours affectionately | C. Darwin
I shd. like much to have ever so short a scrap to tell me how Henslow is.—

1. Where are you & how did you get started?
Mamabake Mackay is a group of 5 Mamas who started cooking together about a year ago. Emma and Katrina both saw the idea on Facebook, and put the word out for others to join them. Emma and Katrina are sisters-in-law and have been joined by Emma's ex workmate Jae, Katrina's long term friend Monique. Recently our mate Jo from ABA has joined us too!
2. How often do you MamaBake?
We Mamabake once a fortnight and generally do two meals each. It sets us up for the two weeks! We are mamabaking today and have: Tuna Pasta Bake, Pumpkin and Lentil curry, Bacon, feta and veggie pasties, Homemade Veal ravioli, Sheperds Pie, Lasagne, Burmese Pork Curry, Haloumi and Cherry tomato Couscous, Italian pasta salad and Banana bread.
3. Biggest challenge of MamaBaking?
Our greatest challenge Mamabaking was initially coordinating our schedules. We have on occasion all baked and cooked at home, and one of us has driven around town delivering and exchanging meals. We now have a day once a fortnight where our work and kindy schedules all come together and we have the 5 Mums and 7 kids under 5 running around, eating brownnies, playing with each other's toys and generally having a wonderful time. We take turns hosting, and everyone does the dishes. The Mums who can will often cook the day before, or slowcook overnight – making ten meals takes up a lot of time and kitchen space, as you can imagine.
4. What impact does MamaBaking together have on your life as a mother?
The best impact that Mamabake has had on our lives is freeing us up during crazy witching hour at night. Dinner usually means reheating something, and maybe cooking some rice or pasta as a side. It is also a joy to share parenting tips, have a laugh with friends and try new foods. It's been great for the kids to see us working together and to get involved with the cooking and dishing out as well.
5. What is your favourite recipe to big batch bake and share?
Our favourite recipe, that we make Katrina make every time, is Bacon, Feta and Vegetable Pasties.
Our group consists of:
Emma Gardner
Katrina Pirie
Jae-Maree Law
Joanne Allan
Monique Woods

Today I've upgraded to the new Ubuntu version 12.04 Precise Pangolim and I found that some UI needs to be updated to 2012 year!
Missing tooltips in the "Dash Home"
Basically when an UI is intended to mouse point usage it should show tooltips when you hover over some button. The "Home", "Files", "Music" and "Video" icons are well understood, but the "Apps" icon makes no sense… To solve this when you hover over those buttons it should appear a tooltip like "Show Applications"/"Show Vídeo Collection"…
Missing visual feedback when opening apps outside the Launcher bar
Ok this is another weird ( I say weird, because it's weird that in 2012 things like this still happen) issue on the UI, that don't show any type of feedback to the user while he is waiting for the app to launch. Loading indicators are a standard and they are a standard for a reason, don't you think?

|State rep. Dan McNeill with DA John Morganelli
Physically, it would be hard to find two people more different than Northampton County DA John Morganelli and State Rep Dan McNeill. Morganelli is small in stature, but is a fearless prosecutor, with 25 successful homicide cases under his belt McNeill is a tough former ironworker who dwarfs a podium.But he's been deeply touched by the heroin epidemic ripping across the Lehigh Valley and the entire state. In recent weeks, he's teamed up with Lehigh County DA Jim Martin to raise public awareness of this crisis with town halls in Whitehall and Coplay. Now he's joining forces Morganelli as well to combat a serious public health problem. They both addressed their efforts following a meeting at the Northampton County Courthouse on April 14.
In recent months, Morganelli has arrested drug dealers who have sold heroin to victims who've overdosed and died. But Morganelli completely agrees with Lehigh County DA Jim Martin's assessment that it's impossible to "prosecute the problem away."
Heroin is now the biggest drug problem in the state. Its abuse is now the leading cause of accidental deaths in the state, surpassing accidental deaths, claims Morganelli. He also referred to statistics showing that accidental overdose deaths have been reported in 30 Lehigh Valley communities in 2014 and 2015.
In McNeill's town halls audiences have been frustrated at police for failing to take dealers off the streets, doctors for prescribing addictive painkillers and our health system for making it so difficult for families to find and then afford treatment for their loved ones.
At one of those town halls, McNeill invited Sharon Stauffer, a mother from Emmaus. She lost her son Ryan to a heroin overdose in 2010. He died with two needles stuck in his arm and eight empty bags of heroin by his side. Her poignant advice? "If your gut's telling you there's something wrong, there's something wrong."
Morganelli, who is one of three Democrats seeking his party's nomination for state Attorney General, said it's time to "change strategy" for accidental overdoses. "We have not been winning the war on drugs," he conceded. He has a three-pronged plan
First, Hit it at its source
He'd stop the flow of heroin into Pennsylvania by focusing on criminal organizations that bring it into the state and have made it cheap.He wants to form a "transnational organized crime unit" for a "full court press" to "crush" criminal enterprises that not only bring in heroin from other countries, but also engage in weapons trafficking, cyber crime and human trafficking. This specialized team would work closely with federal investigators.
Second, An ounce of prevention ...
Morganelli wants to step up preventive measures Every police department in the state would be supplied and trained with naloxone kits, which are used to treat heroin overdoses. He would overhaul a prescription drug monitoring program to make it easier to identify prescription drug abuse and tackle problems "before they get out of hand." He would expand the use of treatment courts and step up education efforts, particularly at schools.
Third, Support Your Local Sheriff
|Sarah McCann shares story
Morganelli noted that as bad as heroin abuse is in the Lehigh Valley or in urban centers like Philadelphia, it's even worse in rural counties, where "county prisons have become detox units" and criminal justice resources are understaffed. Local sheriffs could fill that gap, he maintains.
At one of his town halls, McNeill provided an example of rural heroin abuse. Sarah McCann, age 24, is a farmer's daughter. And a heroin addict. She was shaking as she waited her turn to speak in Coplay At her young age, she's already lost a baby she was carrying. Her addicted boyfriend overdosed and died.
McNeill Forming Heroin Caucus, Wants Halfway Houses
Morganelli lauded McNeill for his efforts. For his part, the former trades union agent said he knew nothing about the subject until a few months ago. "What woke me up was when I heard from two parents who had just buried their children the day before," he said. "It blew my mind."
McNeill stated that Morganelli in Northampton County and Martin in Lehigh County have promised to help him in any way they can. Though he's running for re-election against Republican Dave Molony, he denied his interest is motivated by politics. "I have one Republican (Jim Martin) and one Democrat (John Morganelli) backing me, so I feel very good about that."
In Harrisburg, McNeill is setting up a bipartisan heroin caucus, and hopes to have 100 state legislators join him. He claimed the heroin epidemic "has to be stopped," and called it "totally out of control,." noting that there were over 3,000 heroin overdoes deaths last year in Pennsylvania. .
"These kids on heroin are not criminals," he said. "This has become a sickness." He'd like to open up halfway houses specialized to deal with heroin and other opioids.
|Dan McNeill clowns around with Tim Munsch
As McNeill made his way out of the courthouse, he stopped to meet some members of Northampton County's Drug Court.
Tim Munsch, Director of Lehigh Valley Drug and Alcohol Intake,said that Lehigh Valley and St.Luke's Hospital should be more involved, and McNeill told him he'd like to use part of the vacant Allentown State Hospital to establish treatment for heroin and opioid addiction.
If You Need Help, There's Hope
Northampton County's Drug and Alcohol Division is sponsoring a presentation about the growing heroin and opioid epidemic. It will be hosted by HOPE (Heroin and Opioid Prevention Education) on Thursday, April 28, at 6:30 pm, at Bethlehem's Town Hall (10 E Church St, Bethlehem)
If you have a teenage child suffering from addiction or alcoholism, a parent support group meets every Thursday, 7 pm, at First Presbyterian Church of Allentown, 3231 Tilghman St, Allentown, PA 18104. For more information, contact Donna Jacobsen at firstname.lastname@example.com

Rebuilding Our Communities
I'm Craig Cameron, candidate for US Congress for the 7th District of Illinois. I am asking for your support for my campaign and for your vote on November 6, 2018.
Our neighborhoods aren't as safe as they were when I was a child. Parents fear allowing their children to play outside, and a criminal element has claimed our communities. My vision is to join forces with my fellow Chicagoan's to build a better future for our city.
Our Representatives in Washington have learned through experience that if anything is to get done in the capital city, we need leaders who are willing to reach across the aisle to engage individuals who don't act or think like themselves. Likewise, if we are going to be the best Chicago we can be, we have to build together. It is time for a new generation of leaders to take the reigns.
As a public servant, I will work to bring jobs back to America and put Chicagoans back to work. I will also promote safer communities, protect our borders, and work across the aisle to fix the broken health care system. We need to put the power back into the hands of the citizens and reduce the size of government. American people want a hand up, not a hand out!
My number one agenda will include bringing jobs back to Chicago, and promoting initiatives to put American citizens back to work. When men and women are working they don't have time to loiter and engage in illegitimate opportunities. This effort, along with passing legislation that promotes best practices in policing and the ability to increase funding to states which experience high crime rates, like Chicago. This will enable cities to improve their technology and hire more police officers, which will lead to safer streets. Our neighborhoods should be a place where children feel safe playing in parks, and adults feel safe exercising and enjoying the great outdoors.
Every American should have the right to bear arms. It is our constitutional right to protect ourselves, our homes, and our families. Guns are also used for hunting and sports shooting. Laws should ensure that the public is protected from the criminal element, to keep guns out of the hands of individuals who abuse this privilege.
The health care system is broken in this country. Individuals are forced to carry insurance and the current health care legislation requires a major overhaul. When I am in Washington, I will work to ensure that laws are passed that reflect the true heart of the American people. Private industry and healthy competition are the foundation in which this country was built. Big government and taxes aren't the answer to better health care. As your congressman, I will work across the aisle to recommend alternatives that will benefit the public and create efficiencies in the system, to drive down the cost of health care and ensure that Americans are in control of their own health care. I will advocate for lower premiums, and more coverage for the cost of your plan. Opiate addiction is a growing concern in our communities, especially among the teenage population. We need to concentrate our efforts on targeting those who are creating the problem, not on criminalizing those who suffer from additions.
Our tax structure has gotten out of hand. When taxes are used as an incentive to hire workers, and to encourage businesses to invest, this helps grow our economy. We need more incentives to put people back to work, rather than incentivizing people for not working. Government subsidies should be limited and only used for a short time by individuals who are in transition and those who don't have the ability to work. We need more tax breaks to encourage domestic companies to stay and we need to promote incentives to bring back companies which have relocated to other countries. Bringing companies back to America, will increase the number of jobs for American citizens and will improve the employment outlook and the tax base in our cities.
Access to capital is one of the greatest challenges among small business owners. We need better investment vehicles, that will allow entrepreneurs to invest their own money into their own communities. Community bonds may well be the vehicle to bring about such changes. Community bonds benefit communities, and provides capital for projects without raising taxes.Donate Follow me on social media:

Europe's first gay-friendly mosque set to open
Nov. 29 - Gay-friendly mosque to open near Paris for those who do not always feel welcome in places of worship - in a project opposed by French Muslims. Sarah Sheffer reports.
In a neighbourhood in the suburbs of Paris, Europe's first gay-friendly mosque is about to open. The mosque's founder, Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed, a gay man and a practising Muslim, comes to inspect the location for this unusual place of worship for the first time -- a small room inside a buddhist dojo. But from now on, every Friday, this room will welcome gay, transgender and transsexual individuals for an ultra-progressive Muslim prayer in which women will be encouraged to sit next to men, and even lead the prayer. Up until now, Zahed would pray in the Great Mosque of Paris, but he hopes the new mosque will be more welcoming for those whole feel on the margins of the Muslim faith. (SOUNDBITE) (French) FOUNDER OF THE GAY-FRIENDLY MOSQUE LUDOVIC-MOHAMED ZAHED SAYING: "It is a secure place which welcomes all Muslims and others, people who want to share an authentic moment of spirituality, of exchange, of sharing, of profound and soothing intellectual reflection on very diverse questions which concern the daily lives of all Muslims in France." The 35 year-old Franco-Algerian expects about 20 attendees for the first prayer. But he hopes the space will attract more and more people, as did his association "Homosexual Muslims of France", which started with 6 members and now has 325. The initiative has not been backed by any Muslim institution, and many of France's Imams said they consider the project as contrary to the principles of Islam.

Heterogeneous Core Microarchitecture for Energy Efficiency
Tuesday April 23, 2013
4:30-6.00 pm
Chris Fallin (ECE, CMU)
A general-purpose core today is a compromise: it is designed to provide reasonable performance at reasonable energy efficiency for most code, but it is not necessarily the highest-performance or highest-energy-efficiency core design for all code. Nevertheless, single-thread performance and core energy efficiency remain fundamental problems in computer architecture today.
In order to provide better performance and efficiency, core architects over the past several decades have invented new microarchitectures – such as out-of-order engines, very-long-instruction-word (VLIW) engines, and many more specialized designs – each of which is suited to a particular type of code.
In this work, we propose a fine-grained heterogeneous core which combines many different types of execution backends. Our core design breaks the executing program into blocks of code, determines the best backend for each block, and then specializes the block for that backend. Our new core design obtains 40% average core power reduction at the same performance as a baseline aggressive out-of-order core while combining out-of-order, VLIW, and in-order backends. We conclude that fine-grained heterogeneity provides significant energy savings, and provides a substrate for further work on core-level heterogeneity.
Chris Fallin is a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Electrical & Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, where he is advised by Prof. Onur Mutlu. He works on high-performance, energy-efficient core microarchitecture and heterogeneous systems. He has also done work in the past on energy-efficient on-chip interconnects and on memory systems. Chris received his B.S. in Computer Engineering from Notre Dame in 2009 and his M.S. in ECE from Carnegie Mellon in 2011. He is supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, the Bertucci Fellowship, and a Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship Honorable Mention.
