President's Report
Those of us fortunate to attend the 18th Annual Meeting of the Society in Washington, DC in October, were part of a very successful and informative conference. I was thrilled by the excellent diversity, innovation and quality of scientific topics. We had 560 attendees from 21 countries, with 6 CE courses (and a mini-course), 45 scientific talks, 190 posters and 50 exhibitors. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all attendees, presenters and exhibitors for making it the success it was.
When the Safety Pharmacology Society was formed in 2000, it reflected the predominant focus of safety pharmacologists at that time, which was applying mainly in vivo techniques to evaluate functional effects of small molecules across the three vital organ systems (cardiovascular, central nervous system and respiratory), within large pharma and CROs. Then, as now, there was a strong focus on the issue of drug-induced torsade de pointes and the ICHS7B was being prepared. So much has changed within the last 18 years and the ICHS7B is being amended to include a Q&A part which should reflect the recent developments on that topic. Additionally, for the first time, the proportion of posters using artificial intelligence/machine learning techniques contributed to about 10% of the total. It also became clear that some topics (e.g. translation of nonclinical results to effects in man) are too complex for one institution to address. Instead, there is a growing number of cross institutional/pharmaceutical initiatives, which share data and ideas to advance the field. This collaborative spirit is one of the virtues and assets of our Society and I believe its role will become more and more important in the future. This year we had some new initiatives (e.g. new member & student/academic speed networking event) at our annual meeting to actively welcome new members of our society and to engage them right from the start. The SPS, through its regular webinars, CE courses, regional meetings and the annual meeting itself, maintains its members at the cutting edge of emerging (and traditional) science and technology.
I have really enjoyed my year as President and it has been an honor to serve you all. I have learned a lot. Thank you all for your support during 2018. I would like to thank the AIM staff, in particular, Krystle Correll (Executive Director) and her colleagues and the Board of Directors for their dedication, innovation and professionalism.
Finally, please join me in welcoming Michael Engwall as incoming President for 2019.
I hope to see you all in Barcelona next September. Meanwhile, have a relaxing winter break!

President, Safety Pharmacology Society
Annual Meeting News
2018 Annual Meeting Highlights
Washington served as the wonderful host city for the 2018 SPS Annual Meeting. The Meeting, held September 30–October 3, featured scientific sessions and Continuing Education (CE) courses, scientific posters, an Exhibit Hall, and several sponsored sessions/receptions.
Congratulations and thank you to the 2018 Program Committee for organizing this exceptional program of sessions. Thanks also to the Continuing Education (CE) Committee for putting together six excellent Continuing Education courses and a Midday mini-course. Recognition also goes to all the session and CE course chairs, speakers, exhibitors, sponsors, and the many others whose efforts made this outstanding program possible.
The week kicked off on Sunday with our CE courses. Morning courses offered were AM1: CiPA Components in Early Cardiovascular Safety Assessment; AM2: SENDing Safety Pharmacology into the Future; and AM3: Diurnal/Circadian Rhythm and Female vs Male Preclinical Assessment in Drug Development. The Midday mini-course covered the topic "How I Survived the Ever-Changing Landscape of Safety Pharmacology!". In the afternoon, we had PM1: Advanced Topics in Safety Pharmacology: Clinical Translation Case Studies in Central Nervous System, Cardiovascular, and Respiratory; PM2: Safety Assessment of Oligonucleotides and Gene Therapy: The Success Stories and Set-Backs over the Past 10 Years; and PM3: Advanced Central Nervous System Models: Issue Resolution and Clinical Translation.
Our inaugural New Members and First-time attendee networking event took place just before the Welcome Reception and was a fantastic way for our newer members to meet seasoned members to build their network and build mentor relationships. We also wish to thank Charles River for providing some fun giveaways (re-usable water bottles and power banks) to those who participated.
Following our networking event, the Welcome Reception and Exhibition Opening kicked off the week on Sunday evening where attendees enjoyed networking, learning about vendor services and catching up with colleagues.
The rest of the week was filled by two tracks which ran concurrently, pertinent to all areas of safety pharmacology, featuring: Keynote by
Within the tracks, scientific topics covered were: Secondary Pharmacology: From the Test Tube to the Clinic, Next Generation Non-Opiate Pain Management, Safety Pharmacology/FDA Discussion on the Gastrointestinal System, CiPA Real-Life Implementation, Cardio-Oncology, Central Nervous System and Sensory Assessments: Established and Emerging Nonclinical Drug Safety Testing Strategies, Advanced Imaging Techniques in Preclinical Safety, In Silico Approaches, From Bench to Bedside—Translational Clinical Pharmacology Designs, and Interactive Case Studies.
The slides for approved presentations are available to all registered attendees online.
More than 190 posters were presented on Monday and Tuesday in the Exhibit Hall, which featured 50 vendors offering products and services related to safety pharmacology. During the program, we also featured 20 SPS Oral Communications selected from the abstract submissions.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Academic Outreach Committee hosted a student and academic networking lunch where everyone participated in "speed networking" with SPS Members. We hope that everyone learned something new and were able to build their networks. We look forward to building on this event and offering them again at future meetings.
On Wednesday morning, SPS President Martin Traebert welcomed attendees to the Annual Members' Meeting and Awards Ceremony. Certificates were presented to each of the outgoing officers with thanks for their service to the Society. Dr. Traebert then officially passed the gavel to Dr. Michael Engwall, who thanked him for this leadership as president of the Society for the past year. Dr. Traebert recognized the Jr. Investigator and Student Travel Award recipients, Publication award winners, and announced the Jr. Investigator Poster Competition recipients.
The 2018 Distinguished Service Award Recipient, Dr. Mary Jeanne Kallman, was introduced and welcomed to the stage to give her personal journey during her presentation "How Did I Get Here?". We highly recommend reading the interview in the 2018 Fall Issue of SPotlight to learn more about Dr. Kallman.

JPTM Invitation to Submit Manuscripts
Dear Colleagues,
The Journal of Pharmacological & Toxicological Methods is the leading international journal devoted exclusively to experimental procedures used by pharmacologists and toxicologists and publishes focused issues that are devoted to a single research topic. Once again, the forthcoming focused issue centers on "Methods in Safety Pharmacology". You are invited to contribute to this, the 16th special issue of the journal on this topic, especially if you have presented at the recent Safety Pharmacology Society meeting in Washington, DC. For this special issue, you are asked to write a manuscript that may be an "Appraisal of state-of-the-art" or "Historical review" or simply describe a particular model, method, technique or apparatus used in the conduct of Safety Pharmacology studies. This focused issue will be devoted to manuscripts that describe reviews/methods of fundamental importance to Safety Pharmacology. All methods manuscripts must describe techniques that are utilized, optimized and validated according to international ethics and scientific quality standards and reflect proper study design, conduct of experiments, data recording methods and data reporting practices. Thus, as it has in the past, this issue will be a primary resource aid to individuals in academia and industry that are interested in understanding Safety Pharmacology principles/methods and will provide a comprehensive overview of the most advanced procedures used in the conduct of Safety Pharmacology studies today.
On behalf of the Journal and the Safety Pharmacology Society, I am inviting expert researchers who actively conduct studies of this nature, and especially those who presented at the latest SPS meeting, to submit manuscripts for inclusion in this focused issue of the Journal of Pharmacological & Toxicological Methods. As the annual Guest Editor for this exciting focused issue I would very much welcome the opportunity to work with you on this project. Note that manuscripts should be submitted online or login to the Journal using your EVISE account (please follow Author Instructions) by February 22, 2019.
This issue will be of greater significant value to readers than previous issues because of the expanded topics presented and discussed at the Safety Pharmacology Society meeting in Washington, DC. The Journal received an Impact Factor of 2.38 from Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports 2016.
Note that each manuscript will be subjected to the normal peer review process and should conform to the "Instructions to Authors". Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I thank you in advance and look forward to hearing from you regarding this endeavor.
Yours sincerely,
Michael K. Pugsley, MSc., PhD., FBPhS., DSP, Associate Editor,
Journal of Pharmacological & Toxicological Methods
Year-End Giving? Don't Forget SPS!
I write today to ask you to consider a personal donation to the Safety Pharmacology Society (SPS). For seventeen years, SPS has served as the leading voice for the global safety pharmacology community, and we hope to continue to provide answers to critical questions that matter to patients, regulators, and scientists for many years to come.
We have a year-end fundraising goal of $5,000. In addition to expanding our educational webinar offerings, donations will be used to support Junior/Student Travel Award opportunities for the Annual Meeting, and new initiatives identified by members in our most recent survey.
SPS provides the platform to share resources, research, and best practices, but we cannot do our job without the involvement and representation of all of you. That's why we are asking you directly to consider sending SPS a tax-deductible, charitable donation. Every contribution, large or small, makes a huge difference to SPS. As the end of the year approaches, please give what you can, whether it is $10, $50, $100, or an amount you generously feel appropriate. It all matters.
If each SPS Member contributes just $10 each, we will reach our goal easily! Any amount you can contribute will go a long way to ensure that we can continue to pursue these opportunities and more in 2019. The Society and your colleagues thank you for your consideration of a donation to SPS and appreciate your support for the betterment of the science and our discipline, and we welcome your continued commitment and input. Your contribution is a key element in the on-going success of the Society and our commitment to invest in the future. We look forward to continued success, thanks to the generosity of individuals like you.
Thanks for your consideration and generosity.

THANK YOU WHARF COMMUNITY! Thanks to you we were able to raise $10000 for this dog to have her back surgery. She is walking and feeling well. She is truly a fighter!
This is Bessie and she needs our help. Her back is broken and she needs immediate surgery. She has fractured her L7 vertebrae and needs it rebuilt. Unfortunately very few vet clinics are capable of performing this surgery. The university of Saskatoon has offered to provide the necessary surgery however it does not come cheap.
Bessie has experienced a very unnecessarily painful week. Her previous owner allowed her to suffer through the pain of a broken back for 5 days before bringing her to a vet. She could barely move her legs and was unable to walk. She was left laying in so much urine and feces that she had scalding on her rear end and all down her legs. When her previous human finally got her to a vet they had to dose her on pain meds before lifting her out of the vehicle. Bessie had not even been given a name by her human and was referred to as "dog". The vet clinic refused euthanasia because of how sweet she seemed so they ask the owner to surrender her to a rescue. We got a call, picked her up, and immediately drove her to our vet.
Bessie has remained at our vet for the last two days and will be driven out to Saskatoon Friday morning. The surgery alone has been quoted at over $5000 not including her pre and post surgery vet care. As a volunteer run rescue this is a huge bill for us. We currently sit at just over 5000 likes on our Facebook page, if everyone were to donate just $1 we would be able to provide Bessie with the necessary surgery. She did not deserve this, but we have the means to help.
Please take the time to share this post and if it is within your means to donate either through our Facebook page or on our website www.wharfrescue.ca

She is sitting in the library, studying. It's her most common pastime, by hours; spending time with her sister is more enjoyable but Jaromira prefers to socialize more broadly and Katarzyna would only get in the way. This is better on net; the two of them share a room, so it isn't as though her sister's time is entirely hogged by the other girls who call this boarding school "home." Or at least "prison." Katarzyna doesn't mind it, though; the school library is excellent, and basic manners and care for the books has endeared her to the librarian to a sufficient degree to lubricate the interlibrary loans process when there's something she wants to read that they don't have.
"You don't, you puff dough and then soak it in honey."
"That does sound good. I wonder if Greeks get tired of honey or if it just tastes like how sweet things are? Or, for 'Greeks' read 'Greeks prior to the global economy', I imagine now they have access to white sugar."
"I imagine that when one only has the one source of sweetness it just tastes like sweetness. I don't think ancient Greece had maple trees or sugar beets, and I know sugarcane doesn't grow in that climate."
"You know the thing about how abolitionists used to grow maple trees? So they wouldn't need cane sugar."
"I did not know that! It makes perfect sense, though."
"I'm actually not sure you can get that much maple sugar out of one symbolic tree planted in your yard but maybe they just ate way less dessert than we do today."
"I think most people historically ate way less dessert than we do today."
"Poor prior generations, all the infant mortality and none of the dessert."
"The past was an unpleasant place to live."
"Yup. I wonder what'll stand out about today in five hundred years? I guess there are more and less optimistic answers to that."
"Factory farms."
"I mean, one way for there to be more and less optimistic answers is that they might or might not improve along all axes that exist."
"We already have vegetarians, I truly hope it doesn't take us five hundred years to solve factory farming."
"It probably won't. I'm more worried about things that aren't obvious to anyone now, though, I wonder what they are and if I'd think they were stupid or not if I heard them."
"I've read fiction that postulated aliens supposedly more socially advanced than us who found various things about humanity horrifying and/or primitive; some of them sounded plausible, others...not."
"What are the best of?"
"Best plausible--wars, schools having different levels of quality instead of every child getting the very best. Most implausible--privacy, government-as-opposed-to-anarchocapitalism."
"I don't recall personally having seen them done well in fiction, but I can imagine aliens who don't care for privacy or governments."
"In a sauce-for-the-goose-is-not-sauce-for-the-gander kind of way, I can see aliens with different psychology being harmed by the habit of obscuring absolutely everything, but can you imagine an Earth that was one step down from a hive mind?"
"The point is that the aliens are not from Earth, isn't it? They don't have to exclusively be horrified things that would be biologically plausible or reasonable for humans to jettison."
"Well, true enough. But when the author frames things in such a way that the narrative is clearly portraying the aliens as objectively correct..."
"Yeah, that's dumb - for one thing it undersells the diversity of human experience and probably the diversity of alien experience too - and for another there's a huge gulf between 'the aliens have a point' and 'there's definitely no good reasons humans wound up making this compromise and not that one'."
"Indeed. Of course, I can't say I'm surprised; it's quite a logical consequence of a combination of typical-minding and a superiority complex."
"A superiority complex?"
"If you believe yourself to be superior to those around you it seems to follow that your beliefs would be superior where they differ."

Napili Lani Condos For Sale
The Location: Napili Bay
Napili Lani is one of the buildings at the Napili Kai Beach Resort, which was constructed in 1972 directly abutting the northern end of Napili Bay. This is the last resort before one crosses the boundary to all that the Kapalua resort offers. The Seahouse Restaurant, located within the resort, is an open air restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a truly beachfront setting that is just breathtaking.
Taken from the oceanfront portion of Napli Lani, one can see why Napili Bay is one of the most pristine and popular beaches in all of West Maui. The building on the left is the aforementioned Seahouse Restaurant. Napili Bay is quite protected from the elements, so even if it is windy at many other West Maui beaches this particular bay is likely to be calm and as such is a popular destination for: lounging, swimming, snorkeling, and stand up paddling.
Napili Kai Beach Resort Amenities
Enjoy the 18 hole putting green at Napili Kai with your little ones, or before heading to the nearby Kapalua Plantation and Bay Golf Courses. There are 4 pools within the Napili Kai Beach Resort.
Oceanfront Walking/Running Trails Near Napili Lani
The start of the Kapalua Coastal Trail is a couple hundred feet from Napili Lani and runs along Kapalua Bay, past the Ritz Carlton Resort, through a nature preserve overlooking Oneloa Bay, and then down the hill towards Flemmings Beach.
I recently enjoy the oceanfront trail that fronts the Napili Kai Resort looking directly out toward the pristine turquoise water one can see turtles near the shore, pods of whales not too far off, stand up paddlers getting some exercise, sailboats like the Teralani escorting snorkelers and the stunning outlines of Lana'i and Moloka'i miles out to see. I have detailed these trails and other points of interest in a previous post: Fun Things to Do on a Sunday in Maui.
Restaurants in Close Proximity to Napili Lani
Merriman's at Kapalua is literally a 5 minute walk from Napili Lani and I would highly recommend sitting out on their outer lanai, which sits right on a rocky point overlooking Kapalua Bay – the scenery is stunning and the food and drink are quite nice as well. Pineapple Grill is more like a 15 minute walk or a short drive from Napili Lani – they have great food and regular local entertainment.
Championship Level Golf Courses Near Napili Lani
Featured here is a shot from the scenic Bay Course at the Kapalua Golf Course with the Pineapple Hill subdivision and West Maui Mountains in the background. The Bay Course is one of the most beautiful courses in the entire state and is my personal favorite of Maui's 17 courses.

I'd do nothing but reading if I could (ok, maybe eat some great food, buy some fancy shoes between two books...oh, and spend some quality time with the gorgeous guy I married while I am on reading-break anyway...)
It was supposed to be "different" as it was told with Finn's pov.
It didn't feel like that at all.
The tenor and the voice were exactly the same as with all the other books in that series. Finn felt not present in this - and the story was as uninteresting as they come.

Authentic, Handmade New Orleans Candy
The doors to our original Decatur Street store in the historic French Quarter first opened 28 years ago, on Leap Day in 1992. We've been handing out fresh hot praline samples ever since, getting our visitors hooked on our delicious candies. From the very beginning we were showered with the high praises of our customers' ooh's and aah's, saying "this is the best I have ever tasted," or "these are even better than my mama's!" After winning the Atlanta Gourmet Show's Best Candy Award, last year our Original Pralines were named as Best of the USA by bon appétit magazine . All the credit for our reputation as the best candy store with the friendliest people goes to our fantastic Candymakers.

Bitfury Institutional Bitcoin Mining Fund Gains EU Regulator Approval
The blockchain software giant will provide hardware and other support to the fund, which is administered by Swiss-based Final Frontier.
Blockchain tech giant Bitfury has partnered with a Swiss investment firm to release a dedicated bitcoin mining fund for institutional investors, executives confirmed on Twitter on April 24.
Bitfury, which develops various blockchain-related software along with mining services, confirmed that Final Frontier, in which it holds a minority stake, had gained regulatory approval for the fund from neighboring Liechtenstein.
Focusing on institutions, the fund will give major investors access to the world of bitcoin mining, with Bitfury describing its creation as beneficial for the emerging sector.
Bitfury will provide the hardware for the project, which will also leverage the company's various mining centers to source power and deliver favorable mining costs.
"With the bitcoin (BTC) price down significantly from its all-time high, yet institutional interest growing every day, now may be an opportune time to consider investing in bitcoin mining," Imraan Moola, co-founder of Final Frontier, additionally told Reuters.
The move comes at a productive time for Bitfury, which earlier this month made Forbes' list of the top 50 companies worth $1 billion or more using blockchain worldwide.
As Cointelegraph reported, the mining sector has experienced a troublesome six months, last November's price dip to $3,100 sparking a chain of warnings from major market players.
In China in particular, where authorities now plan to crack down on mining, participants said that lower bitcoin prices were forcing them to abandon their operations independently.

Finland applies for support due to Microsoft layoffs
Today on 11 March 2016 Finland submitted an application to the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund EGF concerning support because of the layoffs announced by Microsoft last autumn. The application concerns a total of about 2 000 persons who lost their jobs at Microsoft or companies associated with it. The total budget of the application is nine million euros and the area covered comprises the regions of Uusimaa, South-West Finland and Pirkanmaa.
- We wanted to react to the situation rapidly and on all fronts. People laid off from Microsoft have a high level of expertise which we need to get back to benefit the Finnish national economy as soon as possible. EU support will make it possible to offer customised services also for those who are not the first ones to find new employment, says Jari Lindström, Minister of Justice and Employment.
Services well under way
Services for those made redundant from Microsoft were launched immediately after the layoffs started in September 2015. All services have been designed in close and effective cooperation with Microsoft. Training services were organised as joint procurement operations between the State and Microsoft's own support programme Polku. The results seem quite promising: tens of enterprises have been set up by means of support from Microsoft and there has been a great deal of interest in the joint training services.
Several ongoing EGF projects in Finland
Besides Microsoft, there are other EGF projects currently underway in Finland due to extensive redundancies in the past few years at STX Finland, Broadcom and in the software industry in general. Preparations for an application procedure have been initiated due to layoffs at the University of Helsinki and Aalto University.
The EU contribution is 60 per cent, while each country is responsible for providing 40 per cent of the funding. In cases of major structural changes, support is granted from the fund for active employment policy measures, such as different forms of training, education, promotion of mobility, pay subsidies and start-up grants.
Further information on the fund is available at www.egr.fi

Year: 2017
Director: Damien Chazelle
Starring: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone
Written by Sarah Buddery
Okay, this is the last you'll hear of me being at London Film Festival (no promises), but I've certainly saved the best 'til last. Whilst I try not to make assumptions about a film prior to seeing it, it was very difficult not to be completely blown away by the artwork and first couple of trailers which surfaced for Damien Chazelle's latest film 'La La Land'. Chazelle's directorial debut 'Whiplash' made waves with the festival crowd when it was shown at London Film Festival in 2014; a pulsating, raw, visceral, and incredibly well-executed thriller which made jazz drumming seem like the most terrifying thing on the planet. With the success of 'Whiplash', and the early signs hinting that Chazelle was going to strike gold twice, 'La La Land' pretty much already had its place penciled in on my top 10 movies of 2016 list.
After watching, not only has 'La La Land' found its place in my favourite films of 2016, it went straight in at number one, and is already knocking on the door of my all time favourite films list. If the previews got you excited for this film, then I can promise you, seeing the film in all its glory will knock your socks off. 'La La Land' is one of those rare, and exceptional movies, which hooks you right from the start; its sweeping opening song and dance number leaping and high-kicking its way through a congested Los Angeles highway, and straight into your heart.
What this film manages to pull off so well is achieving a modern look, with a classic feel. Everything about it feels timeless, the sort of film that you could take the plot from, put it in any era and it would still be a dazzling masterpiece. It feels like a film out of time, and whilst it is very much Chazelle's love letter to old Hollywood, it still manages to be fresh, modern, endlessly innovative and effortlessly charming. It's a film which will woo you, take you out to dinner, and then sweep you off your feet, as you fall increasingly more in love with it as every minute passes.
Whilst it is undoubtedly visually compelling and aurally intoxicating, it is anything but style over substance here. A lot of the substance comes from how exquisitely Chazelle is able to tell the story through the stand-out lead performances. It's telling perhaps that there aren't many characters which have notable speaking parts aside from the two leads, so really it all falls on Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Fortunately, they have a natural chemistry which is positively magnetic, and they're one of the most perfect on-screen couples I've seen in a very long time. Individually they thrive as well; Stone delivers one of the most heartbreaking scenes of the entire year in her big solo number, and Gosling naturally exudes the charming, timeless, leading-man quality which makes him perfect for this role.
Chazelle has all the flair of a seasoned director, and it is incredible to think that this is only his second film. He makes his actors work hard, focusing closely on their faces and emotions, and brings vibrancy and life to the bigger, sweeping song and dance numbers. There's a musicality to his direction, reminiscent of an orchestral conductor; effortlessly bringing together different elements and turning them into something truly beautiful with incredible ease.
I can really do nothing but gush about this film completely; 'La La Land' encompasses all the things I love about movies. It is a tribute to Hollywood, to romance, to stories which have the power to change you, to those emotions which stick around for days, weeks even (I'm still feeling incredibly moved by this film and it shows no signs of letting up). The closest feeling I can compare to the feeling I have towards this film is the feeling of being in love. It might sound strange, but I completely fell head over heels for this film, I want to do nothing but talk about it, and I get butterflies every time I think about it. 'La La Land' truly is a film for you to fall in love with, and I think it'll be a very long and happy relationship. Oh, and yes, this is another 10 out of 10 – the festival which shall not be named really was a goldmine for perfect films, and none more so than 'La La Land'.

– Torture convention? What's a torture convention? Is that like Comic-Con but for assholes? (laughing) Immigration.
(upbeat music) – Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning
to breathe free, sometimes. – Today, we're gonna find out what does it take to get into America. Am I allowed to lie on this test? – Okay. – Both my parents are immigrants. But I have no idea what the steps are. I don't know if they had
to, like, submit head shots, or do like an audition reel. Hello, my name is Jay. I like freedom, rap music,
and I like cowboy boots. American now? – Well, I'm Hiroshi Motomura. I teach Law at the UCLA School of Law. – Is it easy to get into America? – Depends on who you are. So we let about a million
people in the country legally every year. I mean, a lot of people
think it should be more, a lot of people think it should be less. – So you can't just come
because you want to. – You can't come because you want to. I mean, it's a long process, and it's longer for
some people than others. Depends partly on the country you're from and your skill level. – I hear a lot that the
immigration system is broken. – Well, yeah, it's broken. That's the one thing
that people agree about. – But how is it broken? – How is it broken, right? – Today, we're gonna find
out just how hard it would be to actually immigrate
and then become a citizen in the United States of America. – You have to pass a test
of history and civics. It is often said that a lot of Americans wouldn't be able to pass
the citizenship test. – We're gonna find out today. – In Tennessee, they mostly only teach you Tennessee history, and
that is super useless. – [Hiroshi] What do we call
the first 10 amendments to the Constitution? – The first 10, oh boy. – The Bill of Rights.
(bell dinging) – The Bill of Rights.
(bell dinging) – The Magna Carta.
(buzzing) It's been a long time since I did school. – [Hiroshi] Who is the
governor of your state? – Oh fuck. Who is the governor of our state? – Never heard of him. Who is he, what's he look like? Old, white?
(bell dinging) – [Hiroshi] What is the last day you can send in federal income tax forms? – Oh my God. I think I actually know this 'cause I always miss this date. – No, April 20th is 4/20. That's not the answer.
(buzzing) That's not the answer. – [Hiroshi] What did Susan B. Anthony do? – Susan B. Anthony
designed the first US flag. (buzzing) Damn it. – She was a boss ass bitch,
wouldn't you know, man. – [Hiroshi] You passed. – Yeah. – Well, that's good news as
far as citizenship test goes. The more complicated part
of this is even getting in the group of people
that's allowed to take it. Unless you've had a Green
Card for five years. – Wait, what? – Someone could be waiting 10 or 15 years if they're waiting to get a Green Card. – Just for the Green Card.
– Just for the Green Card. (chattering) – Let me explain what we're talking about is coming to this country
as a so-called immigrant. You're not a citizen. This is about getting in and being allowed to stay indefinitely.
(bell dinging) Being a citizen is a
whole other set of hoops that you have to jump through.
– Hiroshi. – Who puts all these hoops in the air? Where are all these hoops
coming from, Hiroshi? Today we're gonna meet some
people who are citizens, some people who aren't citizens yet, but people who have come to America to live a better life. – My family is from Iran. They came to the United States right after the Iranian Revolution. My aunt was executed. My mom was the next one that
was supposed to be executed. She escaped with my other aunt. Both on horseback, going
through the mountains, just trying to find some place like home. – I moved to the US five
years ago to study college. Though I had to apply for a student visa, my hometown, Tampico,
Mexico, was undergoing lots of drug cartel violence at the time. I left both because of safety reasons, and also to give myself
more opportunities. – Now, we're gonna simulate how to get in the country legally. And there are four different ways to get into this country. Who your relatives are, if
you have a job prospect, we also protect people
fleeing persecution, and there's this lottery. I've written out a few
pretty typical stories. A couple of 'em are from Iran. A couple of 'em are from Mexico. – Zach and I are going
to be here with Maral to represent Iran. And then Maral will help contextualize the Iranian perspective. – She's here to make sure
we don't fuck it all up. – It's crazy to say she's
gonna get in the country. I mean, its easy if you have a PhD and you've won a Nobel Prize. Eugene's this 23 year old woman, and your name is Avideh. And you're a student at a university, studying physics and chemical engineering. – Fake Iranian me is so
much smarter than real me. (laughing) – [Hiroshi] You've recently spoken out against Islamic fundamentalism. – I think I have a
crush on Iranian Eugene. – Don't have a crush on fake me. – [Hiroshi] You've received
some threatening phone calls, accusing you of subversive politics. But you don't know who made the calls. You think it would be a good idea to think about leaving Iran. And you think about the United States. – People are calling and
threatening my beautiful Avideh. – I don't know you. We've never met. – [Hiroshi] So Ned, here's your story. Now, you're a college grad, and you work as a bank officer at a
private bank in Mexico City. You often travel internationally, and recently met and fell in
love with a man from Peru. And he got his Green Card six years ago. The two of you want to marry. – Wow, my husband. – [Hiroshi] You want to bring with you, a six year old daughter
and a four year old son from a previous marriage. – And your first husband
turned into a cat. – [Hiroshi] And you have a mother who's attached to her grandchildren, and would be heartbroken if
they went with you to LA. – Abuela, please. – Abuela. – [Hiroshi] You're a 55 year old man. (laughing)
– [Maral] What's his name? – [Hiroshi] That's Firouz. – Oh.
– Firouz, she loves it. – I love Firouz, it's very poetic. – I'm poetic. – [Hiroshi] So you've
been working as a barber, living in a Tehran suburb. And I'm afraid you've
been recently widowed. – That means I'm single. – [Hiroshi] You have a sister, and the sister immigrated 15 years ago to Los Angeles, where
she owns a hair salon. – So I need to get my
sister to become a citizen. – And then you could
just marry your sister. – No. No, Maral, that's not how that works. – [Hiroshi] Keith, you work as a carpenter and a landscaper in Mexico. The whole construction industry has been drying up in your town. – [Hiroshi] You think your prospects, who are your three children,
would be much better in the United States. – I'm a family man. I wanna set a good example. – [Hiroshi] One thing I didn't tell you, that you dropped out of high school. – Fuck. Shouldn't have done that. But times were different, I
was partying a lot back then. (dance music) – Or you couldn't afford to
be in school, realistically. You just need to work. – There's a lot of other reasons you might drop out from high
school other than partying. – I like to party.
(dance music) I'm not saying everybody likes to party. I'm just me, I'm me. Mariano, party man. (bright music)
– [Hiroshi] Okay, so, you've got a tough choice to make. – Wow, this is a lot to un-package. – Do I have any super powers? – What do we know about Avideh? – So I would say that she comes from a pretty well-off family. And also that she's highly intelligent. – And like, naturally beautiful. – Just like, with no makeup whatsoever. – He works at a bank. – You have some funds. You have an income. – Rob the bank. – No, I'm not gonna rob the bank. – Rob the bank. – But if you don't have family here, you don't have a job,
you don't have a claim for persecution, and you don't
win the lottery, you're out. – I'm going to go for a work visa because I have the most magical
fingers in all of Tehran. – [Hiroshi] If it's possible,
your sister could sponsor you. But she's gonna have to show that you are not taking a job
away from an American worker. – That's the one I had to fill out. – You had to prove that you wouldn't take anyone else's jobs? – [Andrea] Yeah. – [Hiroshi] They have to
basically advertise the job. If everyone was rejected
for a legitimate reason, then you're the only
one left standing there, we can hire you, but then that process can take several years. – Do we have scissors here? 'Cause I can show you how good I am. I think like a nice fade on the side. – Stop making us not
want Firouz to immigrate. You're already insufferable. – I have got some dependents. Am I allowed to go to LA
just to like, to visit? – Tourist visa's a so-called
non-immigrant visa. That means that you have
to convince someone, let's say at the US embassy, that if you come in to the
United States as a tourist, you will actually leave. – So, no ties in the US.
– I can overstay on my tourist visa. Oh, okay, so, I was gonna say, get the tourist visa, go get married. – So the US government
isn't gonna give you a visa if they think you might overstay. – Love knows no laws. Love knows no laws.
– Then rob the bank. – Well I might have well
founded persecution, right? – [Hiroshi] You're gonna have to show that this amounts to some kind of pattern where you're really under
some kind of threat. – You don't think that his threatening phone calls are credible enough? – [Hiroshi] You've only
gotten a few calls. – [Zach] Hiroshi, you say a few as if this is a normal thing. – [Hiroshi] You don't exactly
wanna put yourself out there until you get more threats, right? – There are so many countries in the world that you say one thing, and it's a life and death situation, and you're done. – I'd much rather have a student visa than put myself in more danger to prove that I'm in danger. – [Hiroshi] Turns out you have a cousin who's living, but without
papers, in Los Angeles, and he offers to do what he can to help you move to LA. – [Ned] And is that a quick,
quick application process? – [Hiroshi] There is a
temporary worker program. – Like a five year visa? – I think in terms
practically speaking, a year. – A year? – [Hiroshi] You might be thinking, I wanna get a Green Card. The problem is it's really hard to do that if you don't have a college degree. – Could I finish high school now, and apply to a college? – That's an option. – [Keith] But I need to make money. I don't need to pay money. – [Andrea] You have a family. – Do I have any friends with
strong Photoshop skills, and I could get a diploma? But it's a fake diploma? – So you're relying on family connection. – I think that's all I got. – [Hiroshi] Your sister
could become a citizen, if she isn't already,
and she can sponsor you, but the problem with that is then you get into a line
that's many years long. – Is that not the fastest line? – Could be 15 or 20 years. – 15 to 20 years? – [Hiroshi] Depends partly
on the country you're from. – [Keith] That's a long line. – [Hiroshi] For some people,
it's a retirement program. – God, I need to, I'm
gonna be here forever. – Every month, the state
department puts out this list of who we're letting in today. So if you're from a big country, in terms of population,
you gotta wait longer than if you're from a smaller country. But if you marry someone
who is a US citizen, then technically, there's no line. – Where should we get married, and what type of dressed should
I have the bridesmaids wear? – [Andrea] That's the
important question here. – [Hiroshi] One thing that
does count in your favor is that you can bring
your children with you – [Both] What about abuelita? – The problem is you
can bring your children, but not your parents. – She gets left behind. – But think about this. It's gonna take like 10 years. How old is abuelita? I was being honest. You know, it might not be a problem. You know, people come and go. – And I don't want a Winter wedding. – Just let me just mention a couple complications
with Avideh's scenario. – You don't have to. – [Hiroshi] One is that
you've gotta be able to prove financial
support for this period. 'Cause you won't be allowed to work. – Oh my gosh, and then
you have to find a job within your field of study. So it's not like you can be a waitress for like to pay rent, or something. You have 90 days to find a job within your field of study. – I am not dating you. You do not have any money. We know what he was going to say. – I'm currently on an H1B work visa, a visa that the current administration has promised to get rid of. – If you got a permanent job where the employer could sponsor you. This is complicated, though. – My path to citizenship
would be through my employer, so I would need to stay
with my organization for a long time for them to sponsor me through the whole Green Card process. – This is the plight of all of my international student friends. – I have a couple of friends
who are international students with me, and they
weren't able to find jobs, so now they have to go home. Fortunately, that was not the case for me. – Does this mean we're getting married? – Hell no.
– Damn. – Okay, so I feel like my plan now, since I don't wanna leave abuelita, I'm gonna get Eduardo to
apply for his citizenship, get married, maybe we'll live
in Mexico City for a while, tend to abuela, and then after she passes, we can move to LA. – Ouch. – She's going to die at some point. I don't know. I don't know what to do. – I'm gonna build a boat. – [Hiroshi] That sounds very biblical. – [Keith] And I'm gonna sell the boat. Now I got some money. I'm gonna build another boat. Put the family on that boat. We're gonna go up the coast. We're in America. – I don't know if that's how it works. – Why can't it work? Has anyone ever tried
the double boat method? – He's getting creative, here. – I've gotta do something
to save my family. I got three kinds depending on me. There's no path for me. – A lot of this has to do with a mis-match between what our economy seems to want, and the
people we actually let in. Millions of employers in this country who think they need immigrant workers. We have a congress that's not willing to create lines to stand in if you don't have a college degree. – People wanna hire me. – There are jobs. – I can build boats, boats,
boats, boats for days. – So a lot of people say, why don't you stand in line? Well, there's no line to stand in. But also, immigrants do a lot of the work that keeps businesses in this country, and they create jobs
for all kinds of people. Including a lot of Americans. – [Keith] What is this paperwork? – [Hiroshi] Well, the
form you're looking at is for someone who wants
to get a Green Card. – I think you gave me
multiple, by accident. – It's giving me anxiety just to see them because I've had to fill out
so many of these forms before. – There's a separate form
for temporary workers. – And then this is to become a citizen? – Five years later, you
could apply for citizenship. – I'm gonna be dead by then. – Maybe I should just go to Mexico City. Seems like there's a lot of banks there. – I bet our kids would be friends. – You know, the fees could run you in the hundreds to a few
thousands of dollars. Lawyers fees might run
you thousands of dollars, if there are complicated
issues in the case. – I don't think I have enough money to fill out these forms, and eat. – But there's one other
complication I wanna mention, and that is a travel ban in effect. – Oh yeah, that thing. – [Hiroshi] The basic idea
is to suspend immigration from first seven, now
six different countries. I mean, the one that's most
affected is Iran, naturally. I mean, about half the people affected. And there's also a separate reduction number of refugees that
are allowed to come in. So it's been defended as a
national security measure, but it's being challenged by saying that it's a pretext, is
also challenged by saying, hey, this is really targeting Muslims. It's following one of the
campaign promise of a Muslim ban. – I remember distinctively
the day that my mom texted me about the travel ban. And she was like, call me. Like, I could hear the tears in her voice. It was very much of her just talking about how many families don't have a future. – [Hiroshi] Becoming a US citizen was only available to free white persons. It's only in 1952. – 1952. – 1952 was the first time congress says we're gonna let you become a citizen regardless of country you're from. What we think it was normal America used to be seen as really exotic. But it was a time in the 1800s where the real concern was Catholics. Because they owed allegiance to the Pope, and they couldn't possibly
be good Americans. History doesn't repeat
itself, but it often rhymes. (slow music) – I chose to go a more
student based route. – Yeah, you might, and a lot of people do leave themselves open
to getting job offers when they graduate. That is going to allow
you to get a Green Card. But there are a lot of
pitfalls along the way, and a lot of people don't make it through. I mean, a lot of people don't
ever find that employer. You don't know how long it's gonna take. You don't know if something will go wrong. Having your mom come visit you later, that might be tough,
because there's a suspicion maybe she'll stay. And you gotta make some
choices about your family life. – It's like I can ultimately
make it to America, but it would come at
great personal sacrifice. – Even though that's the
quickest path, supposedly. – Wow, wow. – And it's gotten so much
harder over the years. She can try to sponsor you, but that's a really long line. It's really measured in decades now. – [Zach] Decades. – I mean, I suppose there
are people who think that's the way the system ought to be. But no matter where you
come out on that, I mean, the fact is it's really hard
to get into this country. – How many people would you say are wanting to come to America, but there's just no path? – The answer's gotta be in the millions, because, you know, we
have 11 million people in this country who
don't have legal status, and people sometimes say, why
don't you just stand in line. Well, I'm not sure there's much of a line for you to stand in. – I'm gonna come here without papers and just send money back to
my family until they find me. – Well, a lot of people are doing that. – That's what I would do. And I totally understand
why you'd do that. – I'm ashamed at how
much I was unaware of. So much of whether or not
you can get to America is out of your control. It's where were you born, how much money were you born into, did you have the privilege
and the opportunity to get an education? Because guess what, you
could also work really hard, and still not get it. – Many times, we talk about immigrants with this blanket terminology. When in fact, it's a very nuanced, highly personal, diverse,
perspective-driven process that changes from
individual to individual, and generally, it favors people who have higher educations
and a little bit more money. And so I think that's
the sad thing is that the most un-American thing
is trying to block people out who are doing the most American thing, working hard to have a better life. – For anyone to have a perspective of those people shouldn't
be here, America first, it's garbage. People are dying in other countries. That's why they wanna come here. They wanna have lives. – The fact that we're here just speaks to what America can be,
and what it should be. – And that we all are just
a human race, you know. (bright music)

I ordered this thinking it was a medium size product. What I received was tiny and if you have bigger hands, it will look even smaller. I don't have big hands. I am also thinking that the color white is not really practical, I tested it and the mascara goes on the plastic and it is not easy to clean it because of the dents. I will try to use it a few more times. It is easier to hold it under your lower lashes and apply mascara than on your upper eyelids. Also the mascara will still clump and you will still need a fan brush to remove the excess so the guard just protects your skin from getting mascara. I like it but not super impressed with it. They sell these for $1 on amazon and they and they come from China.
The lash guard has definitely helped keep mascara from transferring to my lid. I have pretty hooded eyes and have gotten mascara on the hood of my eye on more than one occasion. Still getting used to holding it and figuring out what the best way to use it is. I've definitely noticed a difference in the way my lashes stand as well. The length of my lashes starts to wilt after about a half hour. I'd recommend warming up your lash curler with a blow dryer or a lighter, then curling your lashes before using the lash guard. I usually do about 2-3 coats of mascara with the lash guard.
Lets be real, if your doing your own makeup you probably don't need this. This is really only for use on a client. You can get crafty and cut a notecard to the appropriate shape and use that to cover your clients lid... but that takes way too much effort and you would have to do that over and over again because you cant sterilize a notecard. In the long run you would end up spending money on notecards and a lot of effort when you could just purchase this for $10. This is small, lightweight and reusable. You can sanitize it easily and the fact that its white in color lets you know you if you got all the mascara off completely. I loved this little sucker. It makes it so much easier to apply mascara on a client because you don't have to be as precise and you can really get in there and press in the product to the lashes without ruining the shadow.
This has little grooves along the top which makes it super hard to clean any extra mascara off. Product is also super tiny!
I have very long lower lashes and if I want to put mascara on them it always smudges on me. But kind of tricky to use on necupper lashes on yourself, but if you work with a clien it is also really easy to use
i was looking for this for a long time
it is the perfect size
and a very important tool in my routine
this has definitely helped me out a lot more now i can put on my mascara on without the mess on the hood of my eyes and without messing up my eye makeup now. For me it's easy to clean i just use makeup remover and it coms right off!
When I first saw this I said "nope, too small " however I gave it a try and although I still think the handle should be a little longer, it works and I like it. Necessary? No but it will protect all the work done on your eyes.
This wasn't helpful at all and I never use it. Maybe it's user error, but anyway, was a waste of money for me personally.

The Company in collaboration with Upper Tana-Nairobi Water Fund marked the annual World Water Day with the launch of Telemetric River Gauging Station at Thika Dam.
The telemetric stations are designed to relay on-line data from the source to the office thus saving the Company resources and ensuring timely management decisions in day-to-day operations.
Water and Sanitation Cabinet Secretary Simon Chelugui presided over the national celebrations at Kakamega County, Matungu Sub-Location, Ejinja Primary School saying the day is critical to the attainment of vision 2030. "This day is meant to prepare and light the populations on how we will manage water in the future This year's World Water Day theme "Leaving no one behind" adapts the central promise of the vision 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that states everyone must benefit. The aim of Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) is to ensure availability and sustainable management of water for all by 2030."
He added that the ministry continues to face major challenges such as diminishing water resources ,ever increasing national population and severe droughtcycles in its endeavor to ensure water security.
More than 5,000 tree seedlings were planted at Ndakaini Primary School during the event attended by Water and Sanitation Ministry officials, environmentalist and students. The Chief Guest for the event was Environment and Forestry Principal Secretary Dr. Ibrahim M. Mohamed represented by Director for Programmes and Strategic Initiatives Dr. Agnes Yobterik.
"Kenya is classified as water scarce country and we should all strive to conserve our water resources. The right to safe drinking water is a basic right enshrined in the constitution and Bill of Rights." She said
She added that the government has rolled out programmes aimed at safeguarding environment for posterity. "We have rolled out green school programmes that is aimed at inculcating environmental care and stewardship for future generation including water
The Upper Tana-Nairobi Water Fund is a fund put together through a publicprivate partnership to protect the water supply of the Tana River Basin by investing in conservation in the upstream. The fund supports long-term investments upstream through agroforestry, drip irrigation, terracing and erosion-control measures such as grass strips and buffers of vegetation protecting riverbanks.
The water fund is founded on the principle that it is cheaper to prevent water problems at the source than it is to address them later. The Company was represented by Corporate Affairs Manager Mbaruku Vyakweli, Ag. Environment & Compliance Manager Felix Lukwa and Thika Dam Coordinator Job Kihamba.
