"Sustainability above 10,800 is essential for the Nifty to gain some momentum," says Jayant Manglik of Religare Broking
Jayant Manglik
The Nifty settled with more than half a percentage gain amid volatility last week, although restricting itself to within the consolidation phase that we have been witnessing. However, recovery in the broader indices eased some pressure on market participants.
Technically, the index continues to hover within the 10,550-10,850 zone throughout last week. We believe that sustainability above 10,800 is essential for the Nifty to gain some momentum.
Going forward, consumer and wholesale inflation data for May, movement in crude oil prices, the US Fed meet and progress of the monsoon will dictate market trend.
Considering all the factors in play, we reiterate our advice to focus on stock selection and ensure that leveraged positions are hedged. Sectorally, though we are seeing participation gradually emerging across the board, FMCG, MNCs and the pharmaceutical space could be potential outperformers.
Here is a list of top three stocks that could return 6-9 percent in the short term:
ACC: Buy | Target: Rs 1,425 | Stop loss: Rs 1,270 | Return 8%
ACC has retraced considerably from its record high and reached closer to the major support zone placed around Rs 1,275. Indications are in the favor of consolidation followed by strong recovery ahead.
This corrective phase should be used to accumulate the stock in the range of Rs 1,310-1,320. It closed at Rs 1,320.20 on June 11, 2018.
Arvind: Buy| Target: Rs 430| Stop loss: Rs 395| Return 5%
Arvind has swiftly rebounded of late after re-testing its price support area placed around Rs 370 level. Further, on 11th June, it has formed a fresh buying pivot on the daily chart.
The existence of support zone of multiple moving averages has also added to the positive bias. We feel that the stock can be accumulated in the range of Rs 405-407. It closed at Rs 410.50 on June 11, 2018.
Tata Steel: Sell | Target: Rs 565 | Stop loss: Rs 613 |Return 4%
Tata Steel has been trading under pressure for the last three months having retraced considerably from the top. It has failed in the recent attempts to surpass the resistance zone of 50, 100, 200-day EMAs on the daily chart which resulted in the formation of a fresh shorting pivot.
The chart pattern and confirmation indicators are also pointing towards a fresh fall ahead.
Traders may use any bounce towards Rs 600-602 to create fresh shorts. It closed at Rs 589 on June 11, 2018.Disclaimer: The author is President, Religare Broking Ltd.

text: Hi, The other day I had to make a short 4 minute video slideshow of a bunch of old photographs. I did not want to spend much time with it so I used imovie 08. It was easy and took very little time. I created the video using the imac at work. This is a 2.4 GHz, 24" aluminum imac with 2 GB of ram. I decided to export the video to quicktime using the default settings. iMovie estimated that the process would take 206 minutes but it ended up taking just over 2 hours. It seemed to me that it took too much time to export a 4 minute video with no audio, so I copied the imovie project to my MBP (see specs in my signature). My MBP´s estimated time for exporting the same video was just 22 minutes. It was the same project, using imovies default settings for quicktime export (checked to make sure) and using the same version of imovie 08. The imac even has by far, more available hdd space than my MBP. The only difference between the two is that the MBP is running Leopard while the imac is running Tiger (10.4.11) To add insult to injury, the imac was only running imovie, while my mac had mail, safari, dreamweaver and indesign open. I use both macs on a daily basis and although i dont see a difference in performance on my adobe CS3 apps, I do however feel leopard faster than tiger. Is my MBP really faster or is there something funny with the imac?

For you and me, if we've only got one or two prospects, we don't have any flexibility. Each opportunity is of the highest importance.
If you close it, you're a hero - and you've some money in your pocket. (Assuming it's priced right.) But if you don't you're in trouble.
When you've lots of prospects, no single opportunity is that important to you. If it closes, that's wonderful, but if it doesn't, you know that one of your others will.
A customer who is only interested in doing business with the supplier with the lowest price has no interest in developing long-term relationships.
In Boeing's case, the WSJ article gave the impression that they were starting out as the underdog. On at least one occasion Boeing tried to change the topic of discussion from price to aircraft performance.
Iberia wasn't interested in discussing performance or the fact that Boeing's aircraft had lower maintenance costs. The only thing they were interested in was price.
Imagine what would have happened if Boeing had said at that point that it wasn't interested in only discussing price and would decline to bid on Iberia's order.
Iberia would have been in a terrible bind. You can't squeeze your suppliers if you've only got one supplier bidding.
By threatening to walk away the negotiating strategies change. The leverage could have shifted to Boeing's favor.
I know that it takes guts to walk away from what could be a very important order, but you want to be negotiating on mutually beneficial - and profitable - terms.
2. Change The Subject To Value/Benefits
Verizon considers their technology purchases to be identical commodities. From their perspective, there is no difference between IBM, HP, or Sun.
From the article it appears that none of the companies tried to differentiate the products and services that it sells from those of its competitors. When the customer views a product as a commodity, price is the only thing that matters.

India's Coal Story
From Damodar to Zambezi
- Subhomoy Bhattacharjee - Business Journalist, India
Believe it or not, India has one of the largest coal reserves in Asia, but still relies on imports from Australia and Mozambique...
India's coal reserves were the lifeline that fuelled the British Empire in Asia, and yet today this industry is on the verge of collapse. Coal was at the centre of a major political scandal that nearly sent a prime minister to jail. This one-of-a-kind book unveils the murky politics around coal - the resource that could provide India all the energy security it needs.
Bhattacharjee manoeuvres the reader through the coal story – right from how it entered the Indian economic life and become so important to its history, to the importance of Damodar river banks in this trade and the role of Sir Dorabji Tata. There's an interesting compilation of facts.... Writing on energy is not easy, particularly when there are too many complexities and high stakes. Bhattacharjee does a neat balancing act to his credit.
Subhomoy Bhattacherjee's book on India's coal story has all the facts that a person might want to know about this industry. It is replete with information, facts, interviews and extremely plausible conjectures, which makes the book an essential reference kit for anyone interested in this complex and messy industry… It is no doubt a sound reference guide.
It's not often that you come across a book that presents all the research you need about a subject without being didactic and dense, especially something that many comment about, but very few understand. Bhattacharjee's book is so important and a must-read. It covers all the twists and turns of the coal scam, from the allocation to the court cases and cancellations… Most of the narrative on energy is focused on oil or renewables and this is the myopia that is important to correct, which the book does. There are a very few writers who can take a subject like coal-energy policy and make it interesting, especially with historical references….. [The author] uses the rivers Damodar and Zambezi to build a fluid and wonderful narrative. Interweaving the narrative with floods, rivers, river coal mafia and what happens on the shores is a feast for any inquisitive reader. Books like India's Coal Story help in not only presenting the challenges, but in framing the narrative for the future.
The book is a product of the painstaking research Bhattacharjee conducted through a series of interviews and field tours. But this also makes it factually heavy. Bhattacharjee plays it extremely safe, offering nothing that is not already available in the public domain.
The book could have easily ended up as an exhaustive but dull story of a crucial energy resource had the author not been determined to make it a lively tale. The details in fact, micro details are all there, but Bhattacharjee pulled out all the stops by bringing out in vivid detail of the life and times of each person involved in the coal business from when it started being mined commercially in India… It is an extremely readable book with impeccable research and a wealth of detail backing up every tale. Bhattacharjee does a good job of recounting its role throughout India's history since the British era.
It is the outcome of a painstaking research conducted through series of interviews and extensive field tours crisscrossing the country… its pages do make for an important reference point for any researcher.
Bhattacherjee has written a scholarly book on exploiting coal in India, replete with anecdotes.

Maria Strømme, Professor of Nanotechnology at Uppsala University, gave an inspiring lecture at Halmstad University on October 16 about the endless possibilities with nanotechnology. "Whatever the question – nanotechnology is the answer!"
To handle a demographic shift with an aging population, there is an 'urgent' need to create materials to keep us young. For exempel, material that can replace damaged tissue.
Students, staff and interested members of the public had gathered to listen to entreprenuer and professor Maria Strømme. She gave exampels from many different areas where nanotechnology can improve our lives and the environment.
"With nanotechnology we can determine what properties a material should have. The technology creates completely unique opportunities for sustainable development in all areas where we use materials", said Maria Strømme.
Nanotechnology can lead to new solar cell technology with a dramatically improved efficiency, stretched batteries that can be inserted into clothes for cooling purposes and low maintenance infrastructure for the increased urbanisation. The technology also has the potential to bring us better cancer therapies and replace damaged human tissue.
"To handle a demographic shift with an aging population, there is an urgent need to create materials to keep us young. For exempel, material that can replace damaged tissue", said Maria Strømme.
Many of the nanotechnology solutions that Maria Strømme talked about still have several years of research and development before they can become a reality. But there is one area where nanotechnology can make a difference right now, according to Maria Strømme, and that is smart packaging. In just one week, from bottled water alone, the US produces enough discarded bottles to circle the planet five times.
"We have created islands of plastics in our oceans. We need to clean up and replace plastics with degradable materials. A sustainable solution may be found in nano cellulose", said Maria Strømme.

The day started with "high fives" from new friends.
How much do I love having back yard access? The kids can play safely while I gather the last of our things.
Good gravy. I never knew.
This morning, we headed off to the Dusit Zoo. We buffered in a couple of extra days in Bangkok in case any follow-up tests were needed.
Who's ready for the zoo? (Sianna wasn't too happy about the sandals I packed for the trip.)
(Sianna is still looking at her shoes. They are classic white sandals. She would prefer anything pink with glitter.)
We're off to the zoo! Thanks go the guesthouse, we borrowed a stroller. It was just too hot to wear Selah in the Ergo.
Our entire family got into the zoo for $3 USD. The zoo was small, but perfect for 3 hours of animal gazing in extreme humidity.
Selah spent the first hour with her finger pointing.
After an hour of walking around, we were all ready to sit and have a snack. It was a good time to catch the seal show.
It was so blazing hot for this pregnant Mommy. Of course, both girls insisted on sitting on my lap.
Even though the show was completely in Thai, the kids seemed to enjoy it.
Schäfer and Sianna discuss… camels.
Schäfer 6, Selah 2, Sianna 3.5
Just 30 minutes after water + snacks at the seal show, the kids were in need of ice cream.
The kids spent the rest of the morning like this…
It was so hot and humid that most of the animals spent the morning in a horizontal position. I didn't blame them at all.
I normally avoid all snakes whatsoever, but since snakes and lizards are Schäfer's favorite thing, I was requested to take photos with almost every.single.creature in the reptile display.
Sometimes, additional photos of the animals were requested.
Meanwhile, Selah rode a crocodile. She is fearless.
The girls were great sports and let Schäfer spend as much time as he needed with the reptiles.
Our last stop was the petting zoo. Selah grabbed a goat by the tail. Thank goodness a bathroom was nearby.
By 1:45pm, all were hot, tired, and love tanks were full. We eventually grabbed a taxi and made our way back to the guesthouse. Traffic in Bangkok is miserable.
While in the taxi, I asked the kids what was their favorite animal in the zoo.
Schäfer: the reptiles
Sianna: the seal show
Selah: the doggies (there were no doggies)
Then, I asked Selah what her favorite yogurt flavor was and she replied, "Doggie."
Next, I asked Selah what her favorite color was and she replied, "Doggie."
We were all laughing at her sense of humor.
By the time we were at the guesthouse, we fed the kids yogurt and fruit, showered the girls and quickly put them down for much needed naps. Mommy rested. Schäfer played in the backyard with new friends. Hubs ran errands… it was a great day in Bangkok.
That evening, all the kids were so content playing in the backyard, we ordered Lebanese for supper.

Here is an example of how to create an add-on domain:
Let's say you primary domain is http://www.SiteA.com
You add an add-on domain named: http://www.SiteB.com
through the cpanel.
Now you can access it via:
http://www.SiteB.com or http://www.SiteB.SiteA.com/ orhttp://www.SiteA.com/SiteB/
You can now set-up email for the add-on domain as if it was a separate site i.e. firstname.lastname@example.com with mail servers as mail.SiteB.com
Tips: When searching for a web hosting service, be sure to check if they allow add-on domains. This will give you far more flexibility to utilize your web hosting space should you need to create add-on domains in the future.
Be sure to check how much web space you have left for your main hosting account before you create an add-on domain. Add-on domains utilize the same web space as your main hosting account.


text: Human interaction — known variously as "face-to-face interaction," "social interaction," and "interpersonal relations" — became a distinct object of knowledge in the midcentury behavioral sciences and is now studied in many fields, including in anthropology. This seminar offers a critical introduction to the study of interaction. We survey old and new empirical approaches to interaction from the early postwar period to the present, in fields as diverse as linguistics, sociology, social psychology, and anthropology. We touch on familiar and still vital systems of interaction analysis, such as conversation analysis and interactional sociolinguistics, as well as a few defunct but once influential traditions. As we do this, we look critically at the varied conceptual and ideological investments in this object of knowledge, exploring how interaction was mobilized to solve problems of theory, such as by linking individual to society, spanning the so-called micro-macro divide, or localizing otherwise intangible ideological projects.

I mean, i know it's a bit early but i wanted to show you some tips how to be well prepared for new college year (it's my last but i always say: this year i'm going to do this, do that, but that never works out for me:). I must say discipline is so important. I'm being total organization freak and that can be very positive to prepare everything before next college year starts.
1. Organize your study space. Get rid of the supplies you don't need anymore, make sure you buy yourself enough clips, colorful post-its, re-organize your drawers, get rid of all old pieces of paper that you won't need anymore and you will feel some pounds lighter:)
2. Prepare your supplies for classes. Every semester i buy myself some very cute notebooks for each of my classes. For me it's better to have separated notes, some of them like folders for all the classes together. Buy yourself new pencils (my favorite are those one) and of course, new agenda (so important to keep all of yours to-do lists at one place) and new pencil case. Those little treasures will keep you motivated during the year.
3. Clean and organize your PC. Make a new folder for new year and folders for every class. If you are using your computer in class made sure you download some apps that block online distractions. You will also be more focused on what professor is talking about.
4. Don't forget all the golden rules: Don't skip classes (I'm always struggling with this one, especially because i like to sleep late), don't miss the assignments, try not to get behind, be nice and maybe make new friends.
This year, I'll make it happen!

I had a great time working with director Mo Farmawy on his short film, "Ordinary World". The film was created in association with the MasrdotBokra Short Film Festival. Mo, the Festival's artistic director, produced the film in under a week, following the same guidelines that the festivals submissions must follow.
Working with Mo we selected five of my compositions from my library that fit the fun and whimsical mood of the film.
The film follows a young superhero who's job is taking over her personal life.
The film can be seen on Vimeo. Hope you enjoy!

Pick 5: What I Don't want to see in the next Xbox/
Microsoft finally announced last week that the next Xbox they have been working on will be revealed this May. I'm sure a lot of people are excited to see the new console and what unique features it will bring to the table on May 21. It's definitely going to be in par with the PS4 in terms of power, so what will it have to make it stand out? We'll find out soon enough but for now, I'm hoping to not see a few things on the next Xbox. Subscribtion fees
Screw Xbox Live Gold membership! I mean seriously, you are the only one asking gamers to pay a monthly fee for a service that is given for free on other platforms. I've tried it for more than a year and it comes out a waste at times and I sometimes feel the need to just play an online game to make use of my subscriptions.
But I know Microsoft won't do it. They lived with this model surrounded by other platforms providing the same service for free, so it doesn't make much sense for them to remove it when they have a good amount of consumers still willing to pay monthly. Xbox Live is a good service, in fact, it's the best one, but you can't help but dream that one day Microsoft just might take pity on us and lifts the fee. But yea, I'll get off the clouds already. My only hope is that they provide something bigger than playing online or being able to use Netflix/huhu/UFC services. Give us a bigger incentive once we continue our subscription for the next Xbox.
Always Online
This is the nastiest rumor so far about the next Xbox and I'm praying it doesn't come true on May 21. An online connection always required to play and use certain services? That is not a nice feature at all. I hate always online. The constant need for an online connection would make the console unattractive in many ways for different consumers on other parts of the world. In the US, this would be fine, but online services are never up 100% of the time. There will be situations were the service could go down making millions unable to use their new investment.
Is this an anti-piracy feature? or is it a method to battle the used games market? Either way, thanks to Diablo 3 and SimCity's horrible game launches, we got a taste on how bad it would be with a service requiring an online connection at all times. It's one step backwards for the industry and will provide a lot of lmitations for players and bring out some challenges for developers.
Xbox and Kinect as one
Kinect was a gimick ever since it was revealed and was first called Project Natal. It's a great piece of hardware, but not practical in anyway for the normal gamer. Kinect was Microsoft's way of battling Nintendo's very successful Wii that captured most of the casual market, and believe me, that's a big chunk of consumers. But sadly, the only thing good about Kinect turned out to be the voice recognition and Dance Central. The worst thing they can ever do moving forward? merging them. Please don't.
You can tell Microsoft was struggling to keep both casual and hardcore happy with their purchase of the Kinect, but thats how gimicks work - They look appealing, but never gets used everyday. Nintendo struck gold with the Wii and this was Microsoft's strong but sad attempt to get a portion of the casual players. Never happened though, and Star Wars Kinect? Dragon Ball? It actually made things worse for the Kinect. Release after release, the titles were getting worse, and the famous titles were being recycled over and over. I consider Kinect a failure, and if I see some kind of merge within the new console and "you are the controller" peripheral. A huge facepalm from me will follow.
A different controller
Whatever gimick they have planned for the next Xbox, it better not be the reason why they would completely change the controller design. Among all the controllers in the current generation, Microsoft's Xbox 360 controller is the best one. It fits well in your hand when held and the buttons stay responsive even after months of use. This might happen since they did change the design for the 360.
Hopefully they stick with the same design with added small features and tweaks, just like what Sony did with the Dual Shock 4. But please, no drastic change like what Nintendo likes to do. And once and for all, make the new controller rechargeable? It's 2013 and I still can't believe I have a controller that needs either a peripheral or batteries to work.
Same old exclusive titles
This is the biggest problem in the Xbox 360 for two years now. No new exclusives, just sequels after sequels on already known titles like Gears of War or Halo. A safe play. Take some risks already, bring use different titles like Alan wake. Give us more reasons to get your system because Halo exclusives are not enough anymore, even if you put double XP as a pre-order bonus.
As much as I hate to say i, Call of Duty is one of the strongest titles in the system and its a mult-platform franchise. I want to see new titles from first party developers, because they will get hit hard this December because I'm positive Nintendo will dish out their Wii U first-party titles like a Mario game this year, same goes with Sony from what was shown during their event.
It seems that they know this and one of the rumors is Respawn Entertainment(Founded by ex-Infinity Ward founders) is rumored to have an exclusive next-gen title for the new Xbox. It will most likely be a shooter, but I'll take anything new at this point.
When May 21 ends, we will have a good picture on how the next generation will look like. From May 22 onward it's all going to be about the next generation. The comparisons will start and more discussions will break out on the future of the industry. And with E3 days away, we will get more reveals and announcements on the new consoles.
This is turning out to be a pretty exciting year. So far, the games released during the first quarter is the best lineup to start the year, and with two new consoles planned for release at the end of the month, I don't know if we can take in all of this. We still have those Triple A titles coming this November as well. I feel like a little child again. This year will definitely be a great one.

HIGHLAND PARK — Many of the pews at All Saints Episcopal Church have been filled every night after being converted to beds for the homeless. But those pews are a problem for a county homeless agency, which says they are not suitable for sleeping. As a result, Northeast L.A.'s only homeless shelter won't be able to receive $75,000 in city funding it requested to stay open during the winter.
Following inspections last week, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority determined that the shelter was not up to their standards, citing the narrow church pews as one of the reasons, according to City Council officials and shelter organizers. That decision prevents the Northeast Los Angeles Winter Access Center, as the shelter is called, from receiving funding from the city, according to shelter organizers.
"They have concerns about people sleeping in pews and potentially rolling over, falling and hurting themselves," said Fredy Ceja, spokesman for 1st District Councilman Gil Cedillo.
The shelter is at capacity and is currently run by volunteers and funded by donations. Recycled Resources, the local homeless support group operating the shelter, was hoping to receive about $75,000 in funds from the $12.4 million in emergency homeless relief funding the City Council approved last week. Those funds included money for an additional 650 winter shelter beds.
Now some local officials are scrambling to open a winter shelter in NELA. During a visit to the Highland Park shelter on Tuesday night, 14th District Councilman Jose Huizar offered between $15,000 to $25,000 of his office's discretionary funding to help keep the shelter open.
"Irrespective of what LAHSA does, we are going to get some money here so that the center continues to operate for the winter," said Huizar, calling on the importance of the shelter to stay open in light of the anticipated storms of El Nino.
Councilman Cedillo introduced a motion to open up the Bridewell Armory in Highland Park to be used as an emergency winter shelter and also asked the homeless authority to reconsider its decision about the existing shelter. But Rebecca Prine, founder and director of Recycled Resources said the armory needs much fixing and wouldn't be ready in time for the winter.
Monica Alcaraz, president of the Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council and a shelter organizer, said that "we have to move forward. We can't stop just because they're not going to give us funding when they haven't been giving us funding."
UPDATE @ 6:49 pm: The city will go ahead and help fund the Highland Park shelter despite the concerns of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, according Ceja at Council District 1. The City Council today approved two motions by Cedillo that will provide funding for the shelter at All Saints Episcopal and also open the Bridewell Armory as shelter space.
Separately, the City Council also approved a motion by Councilman Huizar to use $20,000 of his discretionary funds for the Highland Park shelter.

Happy Friday, folks! This week went by so slow. I'm just happy it's over. Between the scorching here it So Cal and the crazy amount of work I have for my classes, I've been sweating and needing a break since Monday. But I do have a bit of a rundown of what happened this week and what's happening next week!
1. Since I am in Student Body, I along with everyone else plans every event on campus. Tonight we have a Senior Luau and the Back To School party, meaning I have to type this up before school because I will be there for a good 15 hours. It's not too bad seeing that I get to work the Luau with all my friends and see a couple actually dancing at the party. THEY ARE HAVING STREET TACOS. LOUD NOISES. (Guess what movie that is from for 10 brownie points) The B.2.S dance is western themed. Meaning I will be posting western pictures the entire MIMM post on Monday. I warned you.
2. I FINALLY GOT THE FIG AND ORANGE PEEL CHOBANI BITE!!!!! I had been looking everywhere for it and when I went shopping at Target yesterday (400 dollars later), I snagged it and practically squealed between the eggs and the cottage cheese. It wasn't pretty. But the yogurt sure is! It's absolutely delicious; the fig is chewy and almost crystalized while the peel is bitter but still provides a bit of tangy along with the yogurt. It's a must buy, kids.
3. I really have a problem with people in advanced/AP classes. If you aren't advanced do not take the class. Why is that such a difficult concept.
4. THERE ARE FLIES EVERYWHERE IN MY HOUSE. Last night I probably killed, hmm, 30? It's getting a bit ridiculous, and I'm so happy that we are moving a bit south of here, where it's a lot cooler and hopefully has less flies.
5. Like I said, I'm typing this before school so I apologize that it is so short. Time crunching is not my forte.
6. I have been peanut free for a week and a half. I'm starting to get nausea at the thought of PB. Maybe weaning my self off of it's buttery glory wasn't such a good idea.
I have to finish getting ready, y'all! I'll see you on Monday with a MIMM!
XOXO Zoe

Immigrant Justice Corps Community Fellowship Application is Now Open!
About Immigrant Justice Corps:
Immigrant Justice Corps ("IJC"), is the nation's first and only immigration legal fellowship program. IJC seeks to expand access to counsel by increasing the quantity of immigration lawyers and the quality of the immigration bar. Each year IJC recruits talented young lawyers ("Justice Fellows") and college graduates ("Community Fellows") many of whom are first-generation immigrants and bi-lingual graduates from the country's top universities, for a two-year fellowship.
IJC trains Fellows to be experts in immigration law and pairs them with leading non-profit legal services providers and community based organizations in New York City, Long Island, the Lower Hudson Valley, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Texas to provide legal services to low income immigrants.
The Fellows provide a broad range of immigration services including deportation defense, applications for asylum, naturalization, green cards and other forms of relief available to juveniles and victims of crime, domestic violence or human trafficking. Quality legal assistance allows immigrants to avoid deportation and separation of families. Immigrants who can to improve their legal status are better able to gain lawful employment, receive financial aid to college, access health care and live stable, productive lives in the United States.
IJC is infusing the legal profession with a new generation of lawyers and advocates committed to providing high quality representation and innovative thinking about the delivery of legal services to a vulnerable population, including the use of new technologies.
For eligibility requirements, application components and instructions,
go HERE: https://ijc.fluidreview.com/
About the Community Fellowship
Community Fellows are recent college graduates who conduct outreach and legal intake in underserved neighborhoods in and around New York. Community Fellowships run for two years, at a salary of $38,000 per year plus benefits. Fellows will be trained by Immigrant Justice Corps at the start of their fellowship and will meet as a group throughout the course of the fellowship for professional development, skills training, and support. The Immigrant Justice Corps Fellowship provides an excellent experience for recent graduates considering a career in law and/or immigrant rights advocacy.
Community Fellows work 40 hours a week, which may include weekend and evening hours to meet the needs of immigrants. They screen immigrants for legal relief, and help them file applications for citizenship, green cards, DACA, and more. Community Fellows will become Board of Immigration Appeals accredited representatives. Community Fellows are placed in community-based host organizations in and around New York City, and their work is directly supervised by Immigrant Justice Corps' staff attorneys. Flexibility, a strong work ethic, and a good attitude are necessary characteristics for Community Fellows.
IJC seeks Fellows who are smart, compassionate, and passionate about justice for immigrants. IJC also seeks Fellows dedicated to the idea of a Fellowship program – you give us two years of hard work and we will make sure you will be immersed in immigration law and helping others who likely would not have had an attorney or advocate otherwise. Almost all IJC Fellows speak a language in addition to English.
Because our Fellows are placed at many different partnering host organizations every Fellow's experience is unique. Community Fellows work on a high volume of "light touch" cases. That means Community Fellows spend most days meeting with clients, conducting screenings and completing applications. The most common types of applications that Community Fellows work on are applications for naturalization, DACA, green card renewals, and Temporary Protected Status.
The application deadline is Thursday, March 15, 2018.
Every component of your application must be submitted by Thursday, March 15, 2018 at 11:59 p.m., EST
Webinar Sessions:
Throughout the application period, we will be hosting a series of informative webinars for individuals interested in applying for the Class of 2018 Community Fellowship. During the webinars, staff will lead a discussion on the elements of IJC's Community Fellow program, current Community Fellows will share their experiences, and interested applicants will have an opportunity to ask questions.
For more information on our webinar sessions, including the current schedule, visit our Community Fellow Application page on our website here.

I love every Pure Integrity candle I buy. They are very true to the description. My recent purchase was lemon meringue pie. I love it. It has a bit of tartness with the lemon, and warmth with the pie's sweetness. I am always amazed at how true to the actual scent these candles smell. These candles rival the most expensive well known candles in the world. Believe me, I have tried them.

In Loving Memory of Margarette
Our hearts are heavy as we write, Margarette Glover-Johnson passed away on October 14, 2017. She was surrounded by family. Margarette was a beautiful wife and mother. She and James were originally married November 28, 2009 and we were working on planning their vow renewal. The love this couple had for each other was inspiring, they were truly living their wedding vows. Margarette's cancer took her too soon, but she will never be forgotten. Our thoughts are with Margarette's husband, son and all of their friends and family, during this difficult time. We are honored to have heard their love story.

Top tips for preparing your Canadian CV
A well-written CV and covering letter are essential to your application for employment. Imagine yourself as a salesperson selling your most important product – yourself!
CV checklist
- Keep it simple - use a simple program such as MS Word. Most Canadian companies prefer CVs submitted electronically. Create your CV in a common program such as MS Word so it can be easily opened and read by recipients. Use a size 10-12 basic font, such as Times New Roman or Arial. Use plain, everyday language and avoid long elaborate sentences. Avoid highlights, fancy fonts or anything potentially distracting to the employer. Many Canadian employers prefer to use online application forms. If this is the case, take the information provided in your CV and submit it through the employer's online form.
- Keep it brief. A Canadian CV is typically only one page in length with a single page covering letter. Sometimes this isn't possible, but don't let it creep above two or three pages. You need only include the last three or four positions held.
- Make sure you include... your name, full mailing address, contact phone numbers and email addresses and a brief summary of your employment history. Most commonly it is only the last three to four positions held, or your positions held within the last three to five years. These should be listed in order of most recent to least recent. List any education you have such as university or trade skills. This is normally listed as degree name, year earned and a brief summary (one to two sentences is sufficient). Your age, gender, religion and marital status do not need to be specified. It is against Canadian law to request these things or discriminate against hiring you because of any of these things.
- Provide a brief background to UK companies. Remember that employers in Canada may not be familiar with many UK companies. It is sometimes useful to provide a brief overview of your employer's business including industry sector, what they do, and company size.
Do not leave gaps in your CV. If you took a year out, carried out an interim assignment, or travelled for six months, say so, or potential employers may suspect the worst.
Include a link to your own website if you have one. If you have your own website profiling your work, include the URL on your CV; however, do not simply submit the URL address instead of a CV.
- Remember to spell check your CV. This is the first impression your potential employer will receive of you, so take time to get it right. Errors will be a turnoff to a potential employer, as they show a lack of detail and thoroughness. Ask someone to proofread your CV to check for any spelling, layout or typos – don't rely on your spell check alone.
- Attach your CV to an email. Don't paste the text into your email programme where it could be distorted.
Cover letter checklist
Cover letters are an unique selling tool when approaching a prospective employer directly, and are vitally important to applications sent by overseas candidates. This is your chance to capture the attention of a Canadian employer and demonstrate the qualities that set you apart from other applicants:
- Keep it brief. Your cover letter should ideally not exceed one A4 page, well spaced.
- Be clear and concise. Use strong verbs that demonstrate action and accomplishments, for example 'organise', and 'supervise'.
Find out the details of the contact person. Most wanted ads include this; if they do not, call the employer to find out this information.
- Think about the structure. You letter should include an introduction and identification of the position (for example their reference number used in the job advert), relevant qualifications, and a summary of how you meet their core skill set.
- Address the employer's essential criteria/core skill set. Identify your skills, experience and attributes that match the employer's essential criteria. What makes you the best possible application for this position and why should they hire you as an employee? What are your qualifications for this position? Keep it brief as they have the CV to refer to for further information. Look for keywords (e.g. team player, flexible, outgoing, dynamic) that reveal what attributes they are looking for. If you can demonstrate that you meet the essential criteria, you will greatly increase your chances of an interview.
- Proofread it properly. Have a trusted friend or colleague review both your CV and cover letter prior to submission. It's vital there are no errors if you want to be taken seriously.

'Kumquat' - Fortunella sp.
Available in 15 Gallon and B&B
are rounded, densely branched little trees rarely exceeding 8-10 ft (2.4-3.1 m) in height. The evergreen leaves are glossy, 2-3 in (5.1-7.6 cm) long and half as wide. The fragrant flowers appear in late spring, and are followed by showy bright orange sweet/sour fruits in fall. The fruits of nagami
are oblong, about 2 in (5.1 cm) long, with sweet rinds and sour interiors. Meiwa
have round fruit, about 1.5 in (3.8 cm) in diameter with sour rinds and sweet pulp. Two other species of kumquats with smaller fruits are rarely seen in the US.
Like most citrus varieties,
can be started from seed, but are usually grafted onto special rootstocks in order to confer particular characteristics such as disease resistance, increased cold hardiness, or faster maturation. Unless you live where winter temperatures never fall below 10-15şF (-12.2 - -9.4şC), you should plant
and other citrus varieties where they will be convenient to protect, preferably on the south side of a heated building. If a hard freeze is predicted, simply cover the tree with a blanket and burn a light bulb inside the "tent."
do best in full sun, but they will produce under a large oak or pine, where they get additional freeze protection.
are among the easiest fruit trees to maintain. Once established, they shouldn't need supplemental watering and they won't need spraying. Even the squirrels don't seem to bother them!
Does best in full sun, but does pretty well in partial sun.
Provide average moisture. Water during dry periods while in bloom or fruit is developing.
USDA Zones 8 - 10. They are among the most cold-hardy of the edible citrus varieties being hardy to 10şF (-12.2şC), and can be grown throughout the Gulf Coast in USDA zone 9 and lower zone 8, needing protection on only the coldest nights.
Grafting onto hardy rootstock.

The helicopter business is booming, with more guests than ever shelling out for helicopter flights from London to this year's Cheltenham Festival, according to the event's organisers.
Skytime Jets, Cheltenham's main helicopter provider, has said bookings for private flights direct from London to the races have doubled since last year, making 2016 the biggest year for grand entrances to the grandstand since the 2008 crisis.
According to the firm, a return flight from London to the race meet costs an eye-watering £4,000, but can save well-heeled racegoers a whole two hours in travel time.
A typical drive to Cheltenham takes just over two hours, but avid racing fans tell us it takes at least twice as long during the festival period. A helicopter flight, though, takes about half an hour.
The Capitalist was told the service is proving popular in London's financial quarters. With Cheltenham Festival running throughout the week, the half-hour flight from office to grandstand means City boys and girls can make it to the races and still do an honest day's work.
"What we're finding this year is that people are very time-poor", said a Skytime spokesperson.
"Cutting down travel time means those taking helicopters, a lot of them working in the City, can still earn their paycheques."
According to Skytime, fashion was also a key deciding factor for those travelling by helicoper.
"A lot of the City people booking, particularly the women, were concerned about creasing their clothes on public transport."

Man Rescues Drowning Family Who Then Leave While He Drowns
You would think someone had made this up as a caricature.
Some Chinese guy leaps into the water to save a family of 3. Somehow they get rescued but he drowns. As he is drowning, the rescued family gets in their car and drives off. When the crowd try to prevent them from leaving, the wife says "It's none of our damn business".
Classic Communist attitude. (Note they are a family of 3 and have a car.)

OUT with Britain IN with Turkey
Just 48 hours after David Cameron waved farewell to Brussels bureaucrats, Turkish officials landed in Brussels to launch their latest bid, the Express reports.
In a shameless bid to jump on Brexit, EU minister Omer Celik claimed the EU NEEDED Turkey and said his country had economic and geopolitical weight that would replace the loss of the British.
"Turkey, a NATO member strategically located between Europe and the Middle East and boasting a vibrant economy and young population, will be a great asset for the EU", said Mr Celik in Brussels.
He added: "Turkey is a major European power. Europe needs a fresh start and a fresh vision and will have to include Turkey," he said, referring to Britain's decision to leave, or 'Brexit'.
"Whatever the picture will be after Brexit, Turkey's position will be stronger. Any picture that doesn't include Turkey will be a weak picture."
The comments come after David Cameron assured the people of Britain that it would not be till the year 3000 that Turkey would join the EU - a comment which caused great anger among the Turks.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel reluctantly agreed to back an acceleration in Turkey's EU bid because she needs Ankara's help in stemming the flow of migrants after more than one million arrived in Germany last year.

One of my favourite real-life chic geeks is Ira Glass, journalist and storyteller extraordinaire as well as host of probably the world's greatest podcast, This American Life. Tonight, I get to hang out with him (okay, and about two hundred other people) while he talks about life on the radio, being creative, and all of that stuff. I'm even more excited that I get to share the experience with my mum as well as Laura and her mum. The only person missing from the equation -- and she deserves to be there more than all of us -- is Ruth, the lady responsible for introducing me to This American Life in all of its storytelling glory. In a devious twist of fate, she's out of the country while Ira is in the country, which makes me sad.
If you haven't heard of This American Life, you've been missing out. Here are a few favourite podcasts for you to sharpen your teeth on:
The Invention of Money
Fear of Sleep
Act V
Switched at Birth
Ira Glass also said this. It's worth a revisit.
Anon 1 -- I do have excellent sisters. I suspect you are one of them.
Anon 2 -- you are awesome. I suspect you are also one of my sisters.
Anon 3 -- I suspect you are anon 1.
Cara -- what did you think of Prized? I didn't enjoy it half as much as Birthmarked. Too girl-caught-in-the-middle-of-a-love-square, which just seemed cheesy. I did like the new sci-fi twists the story took, though. Also, do you pronouce Caragh (as in O'Brien) the way you pronounce Cara? A friend and I were discussing this very thing.
Hannah -- you can always replace the book element with something else you enjoyed -- favourite recipes or places to visit or holidays or whatnot :).
Samantha R -- me, too! It'll be so fun if I can get it operational -- even if the pictures don't come out all that great.
Katie -- oh, do do! I would love to see what sort of pictures you capture with it!

With only two gigs and nothing else to use the drive for, I allocated all of the space to FreeBSD ("A" for Use Entire Disk).
I chose to install a standard MBR because I didn't need a boot manager.
I used Auto Defaults for partition names and sizes.
I chose to install *all* the distribution sets (probably a bad idea as we will see) and the ports collection (also a bad idea given the circumstances; ate up 300M of my 2G!).
I selected FTP server as my choice of installation media.

How to Really Evaluate a Refinance DealFebruary 25th, 2010
It's hardly uncommon now to see mortgage ads that offer a no-point, no-fee refinance. Say you use a mortgage calculator, and the numbers look great: On your $325,000 mortgage, you can refinance from 5.75% to 5.00% and save about $150 per month. Sounds like a no-brainer decision. Or is it?
No-Fee Mortgage Refinance
A no-fee mortgage sounds great, but what is the description of a "fee?" Any mortgage transaction, whether a home loan for purchase or refinance, involves many parties and companies, all of whom must be paid as a result of the transaction. Nobody works for free, including settlement agents, inspectors, appraisers, title companies, and mortgage companies. But who pays them, and how much? When you're quoted a "no-fee" mortgage, make sure that your mortgage lender or broker will be paying all the fees, not just their own.
Does your refinance quote include taxes you will be paying or prepaying as part of your transaction? While not a "fee," taxes must be paid either by adding them to your mortgage balance or by you paying cash at closing. In many states, homeowners going through a mortgage refinance are surprised to see they must pay a "mortgage recording tax." This tax could be as low as $1.50 per $1,000 in Alabama or as high as 2.12% in New York City. If your $325,000 mortgage is in New York City, be prepared to add over $6,800 to your mortgage as part of the transaction–and there goes your monthly savings.
Good Faith Estimate of Your Refinancing
When considering a mortgage refinance, ask your mortgage broker or lender to send you a Good Faith Estimate and Initial Fees Worksheet detailing all the costs, fees, and money brought to closing. Are property taxes listed? Insurance premiums? Settlement fees? Appraisers? With a detailed list of all the costs and fees of your transaction, you can go back to your mortgage calculator. Are you still saving $150 per month? Is your loan amount still $325,000?
The lesson: When calculating if a refinance makes sense for you, count all your costs rather than rely on the "no-fee" assumption.

THEODOR WAITZ (1821-1864), German psychologist and anthropologist, was born at Gotha on the 17th of March 1821. Educated at Leipzig and Jena, he made philosophy, philology and mathematics his chief studies, and in 1848 he was appointed professor of philosophy in the university of Marburg. He was a severe critic of the philosophy of Fichte, Schelling and Hegel, and considered psychology to be the basis of all philosophy. His researches brought him into touch with anthropology, and he will be best remembered by his monumental work in six volumes, Die Anthropologie der Naturvolker. He died on the 21st of May 1864 at Marburg. In addition to his Anthropologie, the first four volumes of which appeared at Leipzig, 1859–1864, the last two posthumously, he published Grundlegung der Psychologie (1846); Lehrbuch der Psychologie als Naturwissenschaft (1849); Atlgemeine Padagogik (1852); and a critical edition of the Organon of Aristotle (1844).End of Article: THEODOR WAITZ (1821-1864)
