Gather your ingredients..
Dice Onions, Salmon, and mince 1/2 teaspoon of garlic
In a sauce pan on med high heat, combine Oil, Onions, garlic, Soy Sauce, and Brown Sugar until sauce thickens and starts to bubble.
If the sauce gets too thick add up to 2 teaspoons of water. **Make sure to stir constantly so it does not burn
Add in your Salmon, stir and cook for ten minutes. Once 10 minutes has passed, turn off and set aside
Meanwhile, wash your rice until water is almost completely clear! Once washed, drain your rice and throw in the pot
Always make sure to use the same water to rice ratio when making sushi rice..since we used 3 cups of rice we'll be using 3 cups of water. Bring rice to a boil on high heat..
Like so! Once it starts to boil, put the lid on and place rice on low for 20 minutes...after 20 minutes has passed, turn off heat and let sit for 10 min. DO NOT REMOVE THE LID AT ALL DURING THIS TIME!
When your rice is done, place on wooden, plastic, or glass surface. Break up lightly and let the rice cool to room temp
Once your rice has cool, have rice and salmon close by
Also have on hand a bowl of water and a little salt. It makes it easier to handle rice and also adds taste
Sprinkle water and a pinch of salt in hands, scoop a hand full of rice and form a crater in the middle, then place your salmon fillings inside.
Add a little more rice on top and start to mold!
I don't do a great job of explaining the molding process, so I found this guide on how to form the three most common shapes
This is how mine came out!
Now, cut a strip of seaweed and place where desired...or wrap the whole thing! The choice is yours!
You can cover and store at room temp for on the go lunches! Also, the fillings are endless...enjoy!

Prince's "Mary Don't You Weep" Video Shares A Poignant Message About Gun Violence — VIDEO
More than two years after his death, Prince continues to spread messages of peace and love through his music and artistry. On Friday, Sept. 21, the entertainer's estate released his first posthumous album, Piano & a Microphone 1983, along with an accompanying video for Prince's "Mary Don't You Weep" that delivers a poignant message which should not be ignored. The newly-released video, directed by Salomon Ligthelm, sheds light on the impact of gun violence and how it affects the youth of America — an issue that was near and dear to legendary singer's heart.
Showcasing alarming statistics of injuries and fatalities, the video opens by revealing, "Nearly 1300 children die and 5790 are treated for gunshot wounds in the United States alone." The stats are followed by quote from Prince himself, which he shared during his "Rally 4 Peace" concert in the wake of the Freddie Gray's death in 2015. It reads, "The system is broken. It's going to take the young people to fix it this time. We need new ideas, new life..."
As it advances, the video depicts a young man lying lifelessly on the floor with his family grieving over his body. It then moves to a moment when the victim appears from heavens to view the agony that this tragedy is putting his loved ones through.
In a later scene, the young man attempts to console his mother amidst her devastation at his funeral. The clip concludes with another quote from Prince which states: "Compassion is an action word with no boundaries."
Prince's version of "Mary Don't You Weep," which was released on what would have been the singer's 60th birthday this past June as the new album's lead single, is a cover of an enduring African-American spiritual that predated the Civil War. It appears as the fourth track on Prince's Piano & a Microphone 1983, which Fader notes are a selection of solo songs that were recorded during a rehearsal at his home studio in Minnesota that year. The project also includes a rendition of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You," previously unreleased versions of "Purple Rain," "17 Days," which recently debuted as the album's second single, and more.
The 35-minute-long album reveals a track listing of nine songs in total:
- "17 Days"
- "Purple Rain"
- "A Case Of You"
- "Mary Don't You Weep"
- "Strange Relationship"
- "International Lover"
- "Wednesday"
- "Cold Coffee & Cocaine"
- "Why The Butterflies"
The album notably shares its title with the name of Prince's final concert tour, which he was in the midst of at the time of his untimely death on April 21, 2016. Many of the songs from the new album were previously shared through a bootleg called Intimate Moments with Prince, according to Variety. However, Prince Estate entertainment advisor, Troy Carter, told the magazine that the new album will share more "exploratory" tracks than what was included on the unauthorized version.
In a statement to Billboard, Carter described the project, calling it "raw, intimate recording, which took place at the start of Prince's career right before he achieved international stardom, is similar in format to the Piano & A Microphone Tour that he ended his career with in 2016." He continued, sharing, "The Estate is excited to be able to give fans a glimpse of his evolution and show how his career ultimately came full circle with just him and his piano."
An activist and cultural icon, Prince, who was born Prince Rogers Nelson, died suddenly on April 21, 2016, at the age of 57, leaving a legacy that many won't soon forget. Although he may no longer be present in his earthly life, Prince continues to touch and inspire the world through his music and its empowering message.

Judith's Fancy Beach is located on the North Shore of the island, inside Judith's Fancy Quarters past the guard gate. I wouldn't recommend this as a swimming beach, but it has lots to offer in the way of coral and shells (just remember to leave only your footprints). This spot is frequented by surfers, but be aware that it is shallow and has lots of reef to be thrown against. Snorkeling is good there due to the reef, but only if the tide is down. It is mostly only good for riding the waves and is typically only frequented by locals.
Take Northside Road (Route 75) west, then take Route 751 north and head through the gate at Judith's Fancy Quarters.
None, but this is a residential area so please be respectful.
There are no amenities, so bring plenty of drinking water and sun protection.

When it comes to your personal banking, it is important to select the right bank for your needs. With the number of banks out there you'll at least have the ability to compare services, branch locations, and other information on different banks until you find the one that best fits what you're in need of. One such bank is First Premier. With the help of a First Premier login, you'll discover how to access all your accounts while performing much of your banking directly through an Internet connection.
What Is First Premier?
In terms of large banks, First Premier is on the relatively new side, with its foundation in 1986. The bank is based out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and while it is a bank, the company is best known for its Premier Bankcard, which is a credit card designed for individuals with low to no credit score. Due to this, it is the 13th largest MasterCard issuer within the United States. If you have a First Premier Bankcard, or if you have an account for actual banking with the company, you'll need to know how to use the First Premier login.
The First Premier card is often used for the first 18 months before it is transitioned into another credit card. This is because the entry First Premier Bankcard has a high attached interest rate. This is designed to push users into paying off the balance in full every month and to use it sparingly until the 18-month period is complete. This way, over the course of 18 months, the user will improve their credit score and then qualify for an improved card.
First Premier Services And More
If you're thinking about applying for an account with First Premier, you'll want to know about the services offered. This way, you'll be able to create an account and use your First Premier login to perform all the necessary banking you might need from the comfort of your own home (or anywhere else you access the Internet).
Checking Accounts
You are already aware of the Bankcard offered by First Premier. This is a relatively straightforward credit card that is easy to apply for (and to be approved for). However, if you want a full-time bank, you need to look into what other kinds of banking options there are.
First, there is a personal checking account. There are a number of account variations under the personal checking account title. First, there is the FREE+ Checking service, reward checking, and debit card checking, in additional to overdraft protection and security and fraud protection. There are variables between personal, FREE+, and reward checking, based on what kind of potential fees you want to weigh against additional benefits. For more information on the individual checking accounts and what you qualify for you'll want to consult the website after you create your First Premier login.
Savings And CDs
If you want to build your savings, both now and for the future, there is a handful of saving account options at your disposal. First, there is a regular savings account. This provides the same basic savings services and interest as other banks (although for real-time interest you'll want to compare what First Premier is offering and compare it to other banks you might be interested in).
You can apply for a PREMIER Money Market account which allows you to receive additional interest off your savings. This is a beneficial savings option that will give you a greater return on the money you have saved although there are additional monetary requirements to open a Money Market account.
If you want to open a bank account for your child, you can create a Kid's Savings account, which is a great way to teach your child how to bank.
In terms of saving for your financial future, there is a handful of opportunities available to you. This includes Certificates of Deposit plus IRA Savings accounts. You may also want to consider the investing account options available after you create your First Premier login. This comes in the form of brokerage services, retirement planning, plus financial and investing resources and varying forms of financial and life insurance policies.
Loans And Credit Lines
Looking to apply for a line of credit? Through your First Premier login, you'll have access to a number of loans and credit lines. Beyond the Bankcard, you can apply for a personal loan. These are small loans usually no more than a few thousand dollars. However, you'll find more specifics on loans when you look into what you qualify for after creating a First Premier login.
You can also access home equity lines of credit and advance access lines of credit if you're interested. If you want to purchase a home and are searching for the right mortgage, you'll want to check out buying and building a home mortgage or a home loan for refinancing your current mortgage. You may find if your credit score has improved that you will qualify for a better monthly payment.
Beyond Personal Banking
Outside of personal banking if you run your own business there are several services offered by First Premier you should consider. Some account types you have access to as a small business owner include savings, checking, loan and credit lines, plus business services and additional assistance to keep your business running smoothly.
For larger companies and commercial corporations, you have access to checking, savings accounts, additional financing services, plus asset management services and treasury services.
First Premier Login And Application
If you are ready to use your First Premier login, you'll need to know how to sign into the account. If you do not yet have an account, you'll want to follow the instructions for creating this sign in. Follow these steps for creating an account and logging in to the account.
First Premier Login
To use the login on the First Premier website, head over to FirstPremier.com, then click the "Sign In" option at the top right corner. A pull-down window will appear. Now you just need to select the kind of account you are signing in with.
You will be taken to a new page where you'll need to type in your Login ID and your password. If you have opened an account but have not yet created a First Premier login, you'll need to click on the "For New Online Customer Enrollment Only" option.
Now, select the account you have, plus the account number. You now must enter your date of birth and your Social Security number and then create a login ID you'd like to use whenever logging into your account in the future. From there, click "Continue" and the website will go over the information and match it with your current account information. You will then be sent a confirmation email.
From the confirmation email, open the message and follow the link back to the completion page. Here you'll use the assigned password to log in for the first time, although you'll have the ability to change this password now should you want to.
Applying For An Account
If you are interested in signing up for an account with First Premier Bank, you'll have the ability to do this directly through the website. Once you are on the FirstPremier.com website, click the three lines in the upper-right corner of the screen. Now, search through until you find the kind of account you're interested in (usually the best option is to create a checking account first unless you want a credit card, in which case you'll select the credit card option).
Once you select the account you're interested in, the website will take you to a new page. From the new page scroll down until you find the "Apply Now" green button in the middle of the page. Additional information is listed on the page you should go over to educate yourself on whether it is the right account for you and whether you qualify.
Once you have gone through all of that and clicked "Apply Now" you'll be directed to a new page. On the new page click "Start or Resume Application." You'll be prompted to type in an email address. This creates a temporary file under your account, so should you need to back out or complete the application at a different time you'll be able to do so with your email account.
From here, follow the prompts and provide the information to complete the account application.
There are several banking options out there. It is always important for you to compare and contrast the different kinds of banks you have access to. Doing so will help you identify the right kinds of banks for your personal needs and which banks provide the greatest kinds of services. Should you discover First Premier is the bank that fits your needs you'll just need to follow these outlined steps for applying for an account and using your First Premier login.

Hollywood seems to delight in depicting women as sex-starved creatures in its movies - and another new movie reflects that trend. Meanwhile, one young starlet is embracing the raunch off-screen.
Actress and singer Miley Cyrus, who famously played the wholesome Hannah Montana, has become the epitome of the anti-role model for young girls. As reported by TMZ, Miley Cyrus gave her boyfriend a penis-shaped cake for his birthday, then posed for beyond-suggestive pictures with it.

Last Thursday (26th May 2016), there were about 8 of our Crusade Prayer Group at Mass in the morning. After Mass and Adoration, we have our weekly Prayer meeting at a prayer group member's home. It was the Feast of Corpus Christi (according to the Traditional Calendar). Two of the prayer group members (L. And E.) were kneeling next to each other with a space between them. Unknown to the rest of us, something happened during Mass. L told E. later, that she felt someone brush past her just at the Consecration. She felt it on her upper arm and a wisp of her hair also seemed to just fly up near her face.
Now these spiritual occurrences are not new to our prayer group. Over the last few years, we have had varied experiences (which you can read under "Signs and Wonders"). About 2 hours later, the prayer group was assembled at my house for the meeting at my place. As it was Corpus Christi, we said the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary. I was sitting behind, and to the side of my daughter. Her little boy would sometimes come in to whisper something in her ear, then walk back out to play. He can always be heard.
On this occasion, while praying the 5th Luminous Mystery – the institution of the Eucharist , I felt someone brush past me, against my left upper arm. I was kneeling, (L. was also kneeling that morning at Mass). I had my eyes closed, but I didn't open them, as I did not want to be distracted from my prayer. I thought that maybe it was my little grandson, but I thought that he was very quiet – I realized I didn't hear any footsteps.
I didn't say anything. I thought that whenever something happens, someone else always notices something. We always stay and chat, but no-one mentioned anything.It was on my mind, however, and 2 days later, I decided to ask E. whether she had noticed anything unusual at the Prayer Meeting. She told me to be specific. I told her what happened. She was surprised. She told me what had happened to L. at Mass on the Thursday morning at Mass. It was the same experience!
We were both motivated to tell the same person about our individual experience.
We were both kneeling at the time.
We were both focussed on the Eucharist.
We both felt the 'brushing past' on our upper arm – we were kneeling, (He) was walking past us.
It was a special Feastday. It seemed that he Lord wished to impress upon us the importance of, and the Real presence in, the Holy Eucharist. Perhaps we need to make more reparation against blasphemies and sacrileges against the Blessed Sacrament. Interestingly, the prayer theme for the day was "Special Graces". We indeed are very blessed.
Thank you Lord for being with us and guiding us.

Still growing
I was wondering what the turnout would be like with such miserable weather in the forecast only midway through the scheduled 9am to 1pm show.
I arrived about 930am and already the parking lot was filling up. The Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, and mix of Mopar people were well represented as usual. I love my car, but these people take car care to a whole new level. Many owners were wiping down their rides while it was still raining. At the midway point, the skies started to open up but the sprinkles thankfully lasted only about 10 minutes. Unfortunately, 30 minutes later the skies would open up again and not let up until way after 1pm. I got some good pictures before everyone made a quick exit.
This guy was a late arrival and immediately people approached him about what year, how long have you had it, etc. It's a 1993 Acura NSX with barely 56,000 miles. He bought it from the 83 year old original owner in Ft Lauderdale, FL recently. It looks great, but after looking closely it is definitely a driver.
There was a fairly good showing of exotics this month as well. This 2014 Aventador has been to several of these events before and still is an attention grabber. Also in attendance was a 2017 Aventador with what appeared to be 2 feet thick orange paint and a 2018 Ferrari.
I've always had a thing for odd short-lived models. This 1990 VW Corrado is no exception. I always loved these simply for the fact they were so distinct from every angle. Many publications listed the Corrado as a "must drive". Th G60 model had a supercharged 158hp I-4 engine. This jewel hasn't even flipped 100K miles yet.
This was new territory for me as I didn't know Studebaker ever made a truck. This one has definitely been restored recently.
Never expect a stock Honda Civic to appear at a Cars & Coffee. Well, maybe a new Type R that hasn't been modified, yet.
Can you hear Jan Hammer's theme from Miami Vice? This '91 Benz 560SEC is for sale for $11,500. The interior looked amazing except for the cracking gear shift wood surround. . . if the owner is reading this, I know a guy in Nashville that'll refinish that!
How often do you see a 45 year old restored Peterbuilt? I've never priced out a set of ten brand new big rig tires before, but I'm confident I'd have to sell my car to get them!
This Rolls-Royce Phantom II was featured at last years Keeneland Concours show. It was one of 12 Brewster Town Car Limousines constructed. It's been in the same family since 1969. It didn't appear to be in Concours condition now, but what will YOUR car look like when it is 85 years old?
I guarantee if there's an Aston Martin within viewing distance, it's definitely getting photographed. This 2006 example has been named "MoneyPenny". Love it!
Here's a nice line up of Pontiacs on display. Two G8's on the end, a Firebird and three 3rd generation GTO's in between. I had the odd pleasure of riding in the backseat of a GTO in San Diego about 13 years ago. The seats were unbelievably comfortable for ANY car seat I've ever had the pleasure to sit in front or back.
I've seen this car at various events around town. I'm always intrigued because it looks so happy! This is an Austin Healey "Bugeye" Sprite. Yes, it is just as little as it appears on the picture. The wheelbase is only 80 inches.
I thought the white NSX I posted earlier was low mileage. This jewel has only 26,000 miles and looked mint inside and out. I didn't see the owner anywhere around and I was curious about the aftermarket wheels. My guess is the factory wheels are safely stored to avoid any remote chance of curb rash.
Right before the heavens opened up, I talked to this guy briefly about this apocalypse ready F-series. He coated the entire thing in a Line-X type coating that he said withstands baseball bats. He also replaced the 11 lb. plastic grille with a 31 lb. steel one. If "The Walking Dead" franchise becomes a real life nightmare, this is the vehicle I want to be in!
Here's something you definitely don't see every day. This is a 4-year old Ariel Atom. Nowadays when you hear about a car with 230hp it's not a big deal, but when said car weighs less than a ton with a driver, take notice! That'd be the equivalent of the Volvo S90 driven last week having nearly 600hp. The owner also happens to be my mechanic.
About 10 minutes after this picture was taken, people were leaving in droves and the downpours started. I'm optimistic that next month the weather will be a lot cooler, no rain, and twice as many cars in attendance!
Have a great week!

Report warns about Calgary housing bubble
A report by TD Economics says that Calgary could be experiencing a housing bubble, the rise in price is troubling and cannot be sustained.
The house price has been going up in recent years, but the report says the real state markets "has generally lack the degree of speculation(engagement in risky business) that dominate the past boom-burst cycles". And the market remains seller's market. Housing in Calgary still remains affordable, since it is less expensive than Toronto or Montreal.
Also, housing-related expense is also rising.

Fun game but......
It's a fun game and I like to play it but.... HOW IN THE HELL DO I PLAY IT. I really honestly don't get it and there's no online or in-game tutorials. I think there should be an update with a tutorial mode telling you how to play each sport. For example: weight lifting??? What do I do???? I always try putting the weight on the person but just end up knocking him over. Kayaking?? I always fall off the back when barely even going!! And I can't figure out a way to keep him balanced on there. So once again fun and I give a thumbs up but..... i do wish for a future update in which the game gives a tutorial on how to properly do all of the sports.
Amazing party game
Only way it could be better is if they made a winter one as well.

|Dang...No Scrapers....Knew I forgot to bring something down with me
|Winter Sports
|Daizy in the Woods
Ok, where to go? We subscribe to Our State (NC) magazine and looked to that for some nearby destinations. They had a nice write-up about Statesville. This city is only an hour North of us, up I-77, and seemed like a good short ride to test the pup's car habits. I read a lot of historical things about Statesville, and hoped to see some remnants of it. Also, I read that they have a great Bar-B-Q which is just a bit more fun than history.
|On the road to Statesville
It was a beautiful day for a drive....Daizy was great, batteries were all charged in the camera, and...this pretty much summed up the town for me.
|How Exciting!
|Broad St., Statesville, NC
I don't want to be a downer on the town. I'm sure there was something to see, but we were just there on the wrong day. So I don't want to get a lot of hate mail from Statesvillions... Next time we'll try going on a Saturday.

text: Dimensions regarding Impact Assessments Essay Example The documents "Dimensions connected with Impact Assessments" is a good example of an homework on internet business. Impact diagnosis concerns gauging the effectiveness of operations of a business and watching the significance of the changes a result of the activities obtained. Ideally, the impact assessment can be linked to the financial institution mission as well as vision provided with the optimization of essential values. Socio-economic or political dimensions can be described as critical dimensions when completing an impact analysis. Social Effects takes a relaxing approach to look the impact as well as knowledge spreading. Moving away from closed, single business evaluation types, the method encourages companies working to the same or similar desired goals to look at the impact on a field, issue or maybe sector-wide structure. Most importantly, typically the approach dispels the superhero model of public change, whereby a single actor or actress is costed with (potentially) creating a monumental new boost that will hugely disrupt the actual landscape (Benson, 2003). Alternatively, Economic influence assessments (EIA) are used to estimation the cumulative economic results (sales, export products, and jobs, etc) of a specific task or field of the market. Such experiments are helpful to understand the potential great things about different types of progress in the field in question. It can possibly help attain support for those proposed development of the segment and the admission of specified policies as well as action projects that gift the most benefits towards development of typically the sector. EIAs may help concentrate on specific areas to increase economic activity inside a region or simply to vindicate certain services. The cellule seeks needs to information and even analysis its impact on a project. The recently available ability to harvesting and cast large amounts of knowledge online appears to be one club of the connection impact type as the general projects centre around on the internet platforms. Most of these online files sharing advertising networks were not achievable 10 years past. If an corporation desires to consider short words goals while conducting a direct impact assessment, then it is required to focus on sustaining a balanced self-sufficient framework. And also rapid economical development, places worldwide tend to be experiencing critical environmental wreckage and extreme social challenges. This has managed to get imperative the fact that government in addition to business take sustainability complications more very seriously the approaches as per literature uses the particular classification from the drivers from the targets. To sustain a given project stakeholder theory or even institutional way of thinking can be attacked. Ideally, the targets will probably be observed in the RBV (Resource-based View) in addition to NRBV (Natural Resource-based View). In other words, these types of theories simplify the outer drivers associated with firms' durability strategies. Another stream regarding sustainability notions, including the Resource-based View (RBV), the Pure Resource-based Check out (NRBV), as well as Dynamic Skills View (DCV), are mainly used to explain the interior motivation of firms' movement towards durability (Van Herwijnen & Fuente Ridder, some remarkable. d. ). Firms conveniently embrace and also adopt a few of the practices as the positive effects of them practices can be realized throughout shorter amounts of time compared with additional sustainability tactics how to describe yourself as a student. This is not unexpected as the key objective of companies is earnings maximization pertaining to shareholders and also short-term returns is a prominent element of not long term sustainability. Current administration mainly discusses the impact regarding environmental and social sustainability on monetary or in general sustainability, as well as the findings mostly are consistent. In most cases, sustainability procedures have been located to be favorably related to durability performance based on a levels of energy and period required (Benson, 2003). Effect assessment noticing geographic test considers the environmental impact analysis. EIA is really a procedure helpful to examine the environmental consequences or maybe impacts, each of those beneficial and even adverse, on the proposed development project and ensure that all these effects are usually taken into account in project pattern. The EIA is consequently based on estimations. These has effects on can include just about all relevant issues with the healthy, social, financial and human being environment. The study, therefore , has a multidisciplinary process and should performed very earlier at the feasibility stage of a venture (Van Herwijnen & Fuente Ridder, a few. d. ). In other words, a project should be applied for its ecological feasibility. EIA should, for that reason be known as an integral part of the actual project preparing process. Unlike the environmental examine (EA), that is conducted at existing undertakings, the EIA is put on new initiatives and the extension aspects of existing projects. The unintended measurement refer to the actions done for the project as well as taken via the organizational evaluating a project. Normally they are favorable as they support handle arising issues; for instance , a project will probably want to evaluate the growth of the undertaking in terms of sources allocation. Further than the official updates used by progression agencies, it's also important to take into account how the period impact can be used in practice by simply different stakeholders. Development practitioners may interpret medium-term benefits, long-term final results, and impact in quite different ways. In addition , Emergent plan goals, for example , during guidelines the program please note the importance of maximizing the transformation of products; earnings sources along with adds the following as a purpose (Benson, 2003). Questioners help with obeying feedback from stakeholders and purchasers. This way, the exact assessment in the project will be qualitative following the diverse feed-back received with the respondents. Additionally , information gathered can be known in future by management. To gather data which will: -Accurately displays the reality with the population; -Is representative of the total target human population? -Allows policymakers and analysts to make real-time, informed actions. The quantify is needed to management sampling together with non-sampling malfunction. A rapid assessment is an strategy for preparing a preliminary, qualitative understanding of an issue. The basic information and their corresponding research techniques provide a adaptable but scrupulous approach pertaining to data selection and investigation by a company of two or more individuals, ordinarily with different tutorial discipline background objects (Van Herwijnen & Fitness Ridder, several notable. d. ). A survey offers a one of a kind glimpse within the attitudes, conception, beliefs, in addition to knowledge of hometown communities, the main voices about whom will otherwise continue silent on desk-based investigate or study with a decide upon number of individuals comprising the entire locality, for example , focus-groups, key-informant interviews. The online survey should also always be conducted through ethical sun and wind. This includes Life values Review Team/Locally Informed Advisors; Contact with the area community; Voluntariness, Confidentiality, Anonymousness; Informed Allow. Participatory is an effective tool inside assessment. The idea considers granted group contribution is re-evaluated to achieve better results. The response of all people is considered significant as info collected is going to be useful in decision making. The software ensures actions made by participants and their individual community frontrunners must be autonomous and non-reflex whereby zero external effect mediated or simply coerced their valuable decision in both instances.

Can I get a copy📮 of my test? 📕 QAS and TIR - ELI5
Many students don't know that they could get a copy of their standardized test whether they took the SAT or the ACT. However, you can not get this service for any test date😤. Here are the exact rules:
The SAT offers a QAS (Question and Answer Service) ONLY for Saturday tests. If you took the test during the week or on a Sunday because you go to a Jewish school - ce la vie. No QAS for you. Why? The SAT is giving different test forms on those alternative days and plans to reuse them a few years from now. The QAS can be obtained only on THREE test dates per year: March, May, and October. To remember these months, think - MOM - March, October, May. You can order the QAS when you register to take the test, and you will get it right away as soon as you get your scores. Now, the SAT offers the QAS digitally online, and you can see the questions and passages right in your online profile. If you wrote the essay, you must be getting a copy of the essay as well as apart of your QAS at no extra cost.
Now, this is the information for the ACT gang. The ACT uses a slightly less confusing 3 - letter acronym: TIR (Test Information Release). TIR also releases Saturday test exclusively, and the times are April, June, and December. To remember these months - think about " A DJ" ( April, December, June). Just like for the SAT's QAS, you can register and pre-pay for your TIR when you register to take the test. To get a copy of your essay, the TIR requires that you send in an additional form with payment to view your essay. For now, the ACT's TIR is still the old-fashioned paper booklet version that is sent in the mail (and takes about 4-6 weeks to arrive).
By now, you should be well aware of what the QAS and TIR stand for, but you are probably wondering how does this affect your test prep. If so, we are about to answer this question. Most of the high scorers take the test at least two times. Many of my students register for a trifecta of tests, such as May, October and December for the SAT, and April, June, August for the ACT. Notice that the first two dates of their standardized test trifecta provide a copy of the test, while the last time doesn't. The reason a reason for this. I strongly believe in helping my students improve their scores by not only teaching them new material and giving them practice tests but also by having them re-solve their wrong answers and correcting their mistakes.
Real progress in test prep comes from you understanding your errors. Once you identify the questions you get wrong, resist the temptation of looking up the right answer and try to re-solve the problem again. By attempting to solve the question again, you get to recognize your faulty logic and develop the skill of identifying wrong answers among the answer choices that are given to you. The questions you got wrong on the test end up going into an error log, where you carefully keep track of your mistakes and learn from them.🔽🔽
For these reasons, I encourage you to invest in the QAS and TIR and schedule your initial test dates on the days when the QAS or TIR is available.
📌 Please let me know when you are taking the test and what your target score is. I'd love to know and see if I can help.

"It's a rapidly changing world that we live in and there are few areas of it that are immune. Indeed, while the solidity and permanence of bricks and mortar might suggest otherwise, commercial property too is subject to the technology-driven trends that are reshaping much of what we know.
A perfect example of this can be seen in the retail property sector. Thanks to the challenge of online shopping, physical retail stores are having to evolve. No longer can they be the staid, impersonal stores of old. These days, a store needs to be an attractive destination and offer a more rewarding shopping experience for consumers."

And while you're at it, what about that ugly, green Statue of Liberty ? Everyone knows that it was bronze when it was delivered back in the 1880s. Who'd want to see something as deteriorated as that ? Might as well throw it in the scrap heap !
Yes, I AM being sarcastic.
57Heaven, The Time is NOW !"
I really like the quote about how the car will be dust in two years (unless this miracle treatment is applied now). A Snake-Oil salesman if there ever was one !
Now wait a minute Neil! I represent that remark! LOL As a definate rodder, I don't happen to believe every car should be modified, just every type of car! LOL In fact, I believe this car should be preserved as a historical artifact! The circumstances surrounding this car make it a part of our automobile history. Now, the owners can do whatever they want with their car, but I personally believe at least some group or museum or whatever should take this car and preserve it (with the memoriabilia that was inside) as it is with the full story of how it came to be. Now thats cool!
Neil -
It's because you know they will delete the post as soon as you put it up there.
OK, everyone. Time to review my checklist. This list was created on November 3, 2007 and posted to the listserver and possibly here on the message board. This is my prognosis for Miss B:
1. Car leaves Tulsa with great expectations that it'll be brought back toits former glory.2. Few pics on the Ultra-One website of the Process beginning, then nothing.3. Word comes that the Process is taking a bit longer than expected.4. Article appears in a 'paper of record' that car far worse than expected(true or not true--it doesn't matter) and lots more money is needed to bringthe car back5. Lots of finger-pointing, charges, threats of lawsuits, etc.6. Ultra-One decides that they want nothing further to do with this. Leavescar outside where is deteriorates.7. Car is parted out and pieces are sold on ebay. 'Own a piece of history',etc.8. The sorry end to a car that brought so many people together.
If you look at the original pic of the headlight door, all that white blotchy stuff is corroded aluminum. It's the equivalent of rust on steel. It would probably crumble off if given a good washing. Ultra-Hype's process just removed this stuff, leaving only good metal.
I say make the car more presentable. It looked a lot better than I thought it would, in person. Looks like they could clean it up and make it pretty nice for a Tulsa reunion. Then dip the car in plastic.
"Wash those springs back under her ass":laugh:
You'd have to get the moving parts freed up first. I expect you'd need to plunge the engine into a bath of Ultra one first before trying to disassemble it.
I second that notion. If it means a road trip to see her at her new location (57 Heaven?) after her "restoration", I'm down for that. I wouldn't even mind inviting Boyd Codpiece for an old fashioned ass whuppin' for those who want to get their exercise.
Yes, I was there for the Saturday car show. I didn't have a car entered but I admired all of the other great cars. I saw for example the 1957 Dodge that belonged to the same Canadian family since new. I don't remember their name but the current owner/driver posts here on the board often. Another interesting car I remember seeing was the 1957 Plymouth upgraded with a Ch3vy engine. The owner of this car posts here often too. Not to my taste frankly, but I give him his props as the job was well done. There were so many great FL cars that I ran out of film before I ran out of cars to see. I stopped counting after I had reached 30 pictures.
Hmmmmm.. Now we know what he was looking at when he was at Ultra-One's shop.

After spending close to half a lifetime in a vibrant city like Chennai defined by its rich culture, bustling streets, and spirited people, moving to the outskirts of Kerala (Kozhikode a.k.a. Calicut, to be specific), a city that goes to sleep within a few hours after sun set, can be difficult to deal with. Well, at first. Kerala, a popular tourist destination, described lovingly as God's own country, is truly a beautiful state with plenty of natural wonders and attractions. The splendid backwaters, the rugged Western Ghats, the rough Arabian Sea, the lush coconut and plantain fields, to name a few, are all truly breath-taking. But was it really a place I wanted to live in? Not for the first few months. It was only after the first 6 months did I decide to take matters in to my own hands. Being an avid traveller, I was sitting on a gem with absolutely no appreciation of what I had. Plenty of beautiful destinations are strewn around the northern part of Kerala (where I live). Coincidentally, it was then that my husband suggested – we take a trip to Mysore (196 kilometres away from the place we live, a 4.5 hour drive) to drink tea. Yes. You read correct. A four hour drive to drink tea. At first I thought he was joking and took it with a pinch of salt. But on Sunday morning, when he innocently came up to me and asked me when we should leave, I realized he meant every word of what he said. We were going to drive 196 kms for a cup of tea. Sounds crazy, right? Well, it didn't matter to me. I was going on a road trip!
Having decided to return on the same day, the next day being a Monday and all, we didn't have much to pack – just our sunglasses, hats, phone and our wallet. Within an hour's time, we were on the roads. I knew it was all a little too perfect to be true. It was when we were filling up our car with gas did we realize that we forgot to take our car documents and considering we were driving to another state, we couldn't afford to take a risk. It was good that we didn't drive too far. After fuelling up the car and giving it a nice wash, we headed back to our place, took the documents and we were on the roads, again. It was close to 11:00 AM and we were finally on our way.
The initial part of the drive – the first 30 to 45 minutes – were within the city and then the outskirts of Kozhikode. There was nothing much to see or do. After a little over an hour, we entered the Ghat roads – the winding roads that takes you through the Western Ghats of India. There are several vantage points on your way to the top. You can do a quick stopover at one of these points and admire the breath-taking view. Since we were a little behind time, we didn't stop and continued to drive on.
Once you reach the top, you enter the district of Wayanad. You are at point B (in the above map) now. Here, you could stop by at Pookode Lake and admire the beautiful and scenic freshwater lake. There is a small park adjacent to the lake and you could expect a lot of school kids and local families to populate this park during peak hours and the weekends. This may either frustrate you – due to the constant noise and garbage strewn around – and you may decide to leave the place or, you could be determined and escape the noise by walking further along the banks of the lake to enjoy the scenic view at peace. You can expect to see a lot of monkeys as well. So, make sure you keep your food inside. You can also choose to go on a boat ride. Be warned – the boats are a little unclean but not too shabby either. If you love admiring or taking a quick dip at the waterfalls, you could also make an entrance at the Thusaragiri waterfalls, located very close to Pookode Lake.
As we drive along, the next place you can stop is at Chembra Peak. You will have to take a diversion just before you reach Kalpetta. You can hike up this little mountain which is located roughly around 6900 ft. above sea level. It could take you roughly around 5 hours to trek to the top and back down. There are two lakes on the peak. One, on the way to the top – shaped like a heart – and the other right on top. The trek, though only deemed as 'moderate' by many, was tough for me. But then again, it's not the same for all of us.
We then head towards the Muthanga forest. To enter the forest, you first need to cross several small towns that form a part of the Wayanad district. Edakkal Caves – a place known for its stone age carvings lies between Kalpetta and Sulthan Bathery – the largest town in the Wayanad district. You could either stopover and hike to the caves or continue down the road and grab some lunch at Sulthan Bathery. Post lunch, we started over and entered the road that takes us to Muthanga forest. Here, you can go on a wild life safari deep in to the forest where I was lucky enough once to spot a tiger, or you can continue along the forest and cross borders into Karnataka. The safari takes place only twice a day. One at early in the morning and one in the evening. You need to arrive at least 2 hours before start time to get allocated to a Jeep. Apparently, there are only a limited number of Jeeps available per safari.
What's special about this stretch of forest is that, it spans over three states – Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The forest in known by different names in each of these 3 states. Muthanga in Kerala, Bandipur in Karnataka and Mudumalai in Tamil Nadu. The square marked in the above picture shows the point where the three states meet. Once you enter the Karnataka border into Bandipur, the drive through the forest in amazing. Be prepared for a lot of speed bumps though. The quiet and serene drive was the highlight of our road trip. It was even better when we were returning in the dark – we spotted a wild elephant standing by the road side and quietly observing the cars speeding along.
After about an hour's drive, we exited the forest and entered the road that drives through the paddy fields of Karnataka. There wasn't much to see here or do so we continued to drive along. A Cafe Coffee Day comes on the way. You can make a pit stop here to have a cup of coffee or continue to drive, like we did, to have some authentic tea at the road side tea stalls. After a total of around 4.5 hours, we finally reached Mysore and headed straight to the Mysore Palace. Having parked the car at the parking lot of the palace, we bought the tickets at the counter and entered the premises of the palace. After spending an hour's time admiring the beauty of the palace interiors, the precious artefacts saved for generations and sipping some tea, we decided to leave. On our way out, we had a glass of fresh sugarcane juice and some frshly cut cucumber from a street vendor and got back to the parking lot. We hit the roads back to Kozhikode again. On our way back we made a stop at the Cafe Coffee Day, finished our early dinner and continued along the winding roads. The drive through the forest after sun set is a must do for all those who love road trips. It was splendid. The eerie silence of the forest, the pitch-black night with absolutely no light except for the rare light from the headlights of the few cars along the road, the creaking sounds of the forest, were all truly amazing. To top it, we came across a wild elephant standing by the road with cars treading carefully around it to not disturb the elephant. It was the perfect end to a perfect day! Finally after another 4.5 hours of drive, we reached our place back at Kozhikode at around 10 PM. What a day!

I had traveled from Calicut to Mysore last May (not for the tea but for the Palace), but indeed the drive through the forest was the highlight. I was able to spot a herd of elephants and a lot of deer (but you do lose your curiosity for them after 3 years at IITM). Kozhikode has a lot of places like Coorg, Wayanad, and Ooty within a few hours drive.

Virtual Interviews - Yay or Nay?
The advent of technology has touched almost all aspects of our lives, including the way we work. Organizations, both big and small, are looking to leverage technology to increase revenues and reduce costs. The HR function has long earned the ire of the business world as a huge cost centre. It was, therefore, a no-brainer for the HR fraternity to look for ways to streamline the most critical of its functions – hiring.
Cost-Per- Hire (CPH) is an often-used metric to evaluate Talent Acquisition / Search success. A key contributor the CPH is Time-To- Fill (TTF) a vacancy. Virtual or 'e-interviews', conducted using Skype or other Video Conferencing tech platforms, offers serious advantages on both these counts. For example, US based Chesapeake Energy Corp. 1 claim they saved around $4,00,000 on 458 virtual interviews conducted across the nation when compared against previous costs for flying candidates in.
So how effective is this virtual method of talent search being increasingly adopted worldwide? What does this shift mean to the interviewee and the interviewer?
Is it Effective?
To put it bluntly, it benefits the organisations in far more number of ways than it does the individual appearing for the interview. Consider after screening approximately 100 applications; a compnay finds 10 candidates who are suited for the job. But these candidates are located in 5 different locations across the country. Definitely, the best choice for the company in this situation would be to conduct a virtual interview and then shortlist one or two candidates with whom a face to face interaction can be scheduled. This saves time as well as reduces any further cost to your organisation.
However, it is not only the organisation that is being benefited in the process; the candidates can also appear for an interview from the comfort of their home. It is especially useful for out-of- town candidates. And if your interview is a telephonic one, then what else can you do then to praise the Lord for being merciful on you! Those interviews don't even require you to be all formally dressed up or have a clean and clear background.
Is it perfect?
One might, therefore, wonder why this process is still not followed by all organisations? Why are they still happy to have their HR consultants / employee hiring teams/candidates travel across the length and breadth of the country merely to conduct in-person / face-to- face interviews? In fact, a study McMaster University, Ontario 2 suggests that candidates who were interviewed using video conferencing were less likely to get the job compared to the ones who were interviewed face-to-face. The same research also points out that interviewers who use video conferencing could be regarded as less trustworthy by the applicants, which means that they may feel tempted to refuse a job offer.
Apparently, meeting a candidate face to face is beneficial both for the recruiter as well as for the job applicant. As organizations are competing more fiercely for talent than ever, personal interviews may convince a candidate to accept an offer.
Also, a candidate might appear all confident and professional while you interview him over the web or telephone. But once you hire him and bring him out of his comfort zone, you feel that he/she isn't able to adapt to this new environment offered to him.
As a candidate you may think this process of interviewing virtually may reduce the pressure, it may be the exact opposite in many cases, especially for those appearing for a virtual interview the first time. The pressure of being on camera might make you lose your composure. Suddenly you don't have the luxury of replacing gestures and expressions for the spoken word. Your body language is muted to a great degree.
What to do?
So should an organization actively institutionalize virtual interviewing? The middle of the road approach may be the best, at least for now. Virtual interviewing might be the more efficient method for entry level jobs. However while hiring for a more high-stakes position, it may be clubbed with in-person interviews at later stages of the process.
In fact, virtual interviewing as an early stage process, can be outsourced to the organization's manpower vendors. The best talent search firms like GreenThumbs are adept at arranging and conducting these e-interviews. They can also club it with complete personality assessment of a candidate to see whether or not he would fit in with the hiring organisation.
Despite the many advantages they offer, in-person interviews are becoming less popular. Going forward, as virtual interviewing technology becomes more advanced and personalized, we can expect it to become the norm. It will, therefore, benefit both the recruiter and the job seeker to become more adept at using the various virtual interviewing platforms. Watch this space for our next blog which will carry some awesome hacks on how to ace your next virtual interview.

That's it you series of pipes, I have had it with you. You saw the line and you crossed it one too many times. You openly pissed in the eye of your masters while youtubin' it. Your reckless behavior and crossed into the realm where you weren't suppose to cross. Yesterday I praised the good will of the internet in the work of those wacky Desert Bus folks enduring hell and hell to donate money to a charity. Today I just can't do anything but feel sick to my stomach at how you're embarrassing me.
Not since 9/11 has this nation suffered through an attack on our shores like this. I speak, of course of Thanksgiving being defaced and mocked at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. You see, we all got Rickroll'd in the worse way.
As if that internet meme wasn't around long past its date of expiration. Like bad milk sitting in the fridge. Sure it tasted great the day you got it. Even a week or two later it was still fun to pull it on your friends. Eventually it passes its prime and becomes as rancid and nasty to even smell as what Rick Ashtley has unleashed on us. Not to mention the fact that it was a terrible lip sync. That was worse than Brittney Spears bad. Could they not record a newer track of that to make SOME effort?
The trouble began long ago. Back when being Rick Roll'd was sort of humorous. Even Family Guy's attempt at it was met with a more sincere effort. It helped that it was in context of a Back to the Future parody. The joke seems to have been beaten into the ground. I heard talk that on some EA game being tested they are using Rickroll as a place holder. You see the signs and the meme show up all over the place. Are the kids alright? Were the kids even born in time for this video? Inquiring minds want to know.
Back to the Parade talk. I can't even put this into the Weird section of this whole blogs theme. It wasn't very weird. Ok, maybe it was. I mean, Rick was singing that he was never gonna give you up and let you down to a group of imaginary monsters who were just that... given up and let down. Way to go and shatter my heart, Rick. Why don't you just go to Amnesiac ward of a hospital and sing Simple Minds Don't you (Forget about me). Fucking asshole!

Reserve Bank of India announced that it would issue a new 100-rupee note on 19th July.
since demonetization five new banknotes have been introduced – 10 rupees, 50 rupees, 200 rupees, 500 rupees and 2000 rupees.
Although, the new 100-rupee note in comparison with an original note would be more expensive because its size and color are different.
For this reason, banks will need to modify their ATMs.
Change is the only constant thing in the world and after effects of demonetization led this phrase true as five new banknotes have been introduced since November 8th, 2016 – 10 rupees, 50 rupees, 200 rupees (which didn't have an earlier version), 500 rupees and 2000 rupees – an unprecedented amount. And on July 19th, the Reserve Bank of India announced the introduction of a new lavender-colored 100-rupee note.
Introducing a new note to the economy doesn't come cheap. The RBI annual report confirms that the cost of printing of currency notes more than doubled to Rs 7,965 crore in 2016-17 from Rs 3,421 crore in the previous year on account of new currency printing, as per PTI.
A filing under the Right to Information Act in December 2016 revealed that approximate cost of printing each note of new Rs 500 is in the range of Rs 2.87 to Rs 3.09, and Rs 3.54 to Rs 3.77 for Rs 2000,
The government had already stopped printing 2000 – rupee note last year, the government made a push towards promoting lower value notes instead, starting with the introduction of the 200-rupee note.
Other than printing expenses, there are a number of other costs of introducing new notes. ATMs need to be restocked, new notes need to be transferred to the government's issue offices and currency chests/treasuries and banks need to upgrade their note processing systems.
However, the introduction of the new 100-rupee note is expected to be more expensive than other notes, relative to their original versions, owing to its size. The dimensions of the note are different from the original 100-rupee note as well as the 200-rupee note.
This will lead to an additional cost – the cost of recalibrating ATMs to adjust to the note's specifications. This is expected to cost a cumulative total of ₹100 crore alone. However, this expense will not be borne by the government, but by the country's banks and ATM operators.
The banks already had to modify their ATMs in January 2018 when the 200-rupee note was released. This happened despite their demand on waiting till the new 100-rupee note was introduced. now they have to adjust ATMs spacing system again.
The recalibration process involves the installation of spacing systems to separate the notes. These systems are programmed in accordance with the size of each note. A note with completely new dimensions requires an adjustment to these spacers.
Not sure as of now that the new 100-rupee note would be the last note to be introduced by the current government. The RBI is reported to be in the process of developing a new 1000-rupee note. Once it is introduced and the short-term adjustment to the new note concludes, Indian banks and ATM operators will finally be able to rest easy for a while.

Yes, still got this.
Pm me
Hey mate, that's really kind, cheers. - I'm 5'11" so might be ok?
Unfortunately that isn't me and in Manchester on the Monday. But will definitely come on the 14th. Is the Monday a regular thing? 6.30 every week?
Hey mate is it not on July 14th? Which is a Saturday?
I can still make Tuesday if on Tuesday.
Hey, bit of a long shot - I haven't played polo in a few years but used to play in Oxford. Any chance a team needs a rusty ringer? Probs need to borrow a bike too although could play on my beater.
Sorry for the incredibly slow reply on this. Polo in Oxford has periods where it's going strong but most of the people I used to play with (including myself) have now left Oxford.
Hi Krok,
thanks for the interest but I'm not currently willing to ship the bike.
Now looking for £230
Yes still available

Well I washed all of Isabella's diapers today using the soap nuts. What can I say besides OH EEM GEE! Seriously!
The inserts to the diapers were starting to get a stink to them and I was having a hard time getting the smell out. I tried stripping them with bleach once a month, sometimes twice. I would sun bleach them, but it really wasn't doing much. One wash and yes I mean ONE full wash with the soap nuts and the smell is gone!! GONE I TELL YOU!!! GONE!!!!
*takes deep breath* Ok now that I'm a bit calmer, you have to understand that as much as I love cloth diapers it can be frustrating. And now that I found these soap nuts, I'm so excited that I can get the diapers to smell fresh again.
I also find that there isn't a soapy residue on clothes or on the diapers, and they do come out soft considering I don't use fabric softener on anything. I would have to say at this point these nuts are great for sensitive skin. Remember, I am not a doctor (stop laughing people) so you can't hold me for what I say, but Isabella has very sensitive skin and she wore the diapers all day today plus clothing that I had washed in the nuts and not a reaction what so ever! I think for people who want clean clothes that smell fresh with out all the chemicals, this is the way to go.
I will definitely buy more nuts once I use all these!! I have a new love.

We've all heard the reports from former Secret Service agents that former First Lady [cough] Hillary Clinton was known inside the agency as an unpleasant person to be around. In fact, being part of her detail was known to be a punishment of sorts. With the release of 100 pages of FBI transcripts that description is confirmed. This is from a statement taken from an FBI agent with the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) during Clinton's time as secretary of state.
[Redacted] explained that CLINTON's treatment of DS agents on her protective detail was so contemptuous that many of them sought reassignment or employment elsewhere," the interview summary says. "Prior to CLINTON's tenure, being an agent on the Secretary of State's protective detail was seen as an honor and privilege reserved for senior agents. However, by the end of CLINTON's tenure, it was staffed largely with new agents because it was difficult to find senior agents willing to work for her."
Not only was Hillary "unpleasant" to work with, but she really did have the opinion that rules were for everyone else.
"From her own experience, and information obtained through [redacted] and other agents, [redacted] described a 'stark difference' between [Condoleezza] RICE and CLINTON with regard to obedience to security and diplomatic protocols," the summary says. "RICE observed strict adherence to State Department security and diplomatic protocols while CLINTON frequently and 'blatantly' disregarded them."
Many of us have our disagreements with Condi Rice, but the woman is a lady. She knows how to behave and respect other people and governments. Of course, President George W. Bush was known for his punctuality and protocol adherence, so for his Secretary of State to follow the letter of the rules should be no surprise.
The agent said that it is standard diplomatic and security protocol for the secretary of state to travel by armored limousine with the U.S. ambassador when visiting a foreign country.
"CLINTON refused to do so, instead choosing to be accompanied in the limousine by her Chief of Staff, HUMA ABEDIN. This frequently resulted in complaints by ambassadors who were insulted and embarrassed by this breach of protocol," the summary says. Clinton's breaches of protocol, it adds, were "well-known throughout Diplomatic Security and were 'abundant.'"
And yet another Clinton era legend grows with comments from security details. Hillary Clinton does as she darn well pleases, and doesn't care who she insults. Imagine that.

Normally, the approval process for gaining SSDI benefits can take several months to well over a year, depending on an individual's case. However, Social Security has an obligation to provide benefits as quickly as possible for those who have extremely serious medical conditions.
These conditions have been defined and are known as Compassionate Allowances (CAL). They are a subset of the Listing of Impairments that Social Security uses to define what conditions qualify for SSDI benefits. The list is made up of primarily certain types of cancers, rare disorders that are expected to be terminal, and dementia and Alzheimer's disorders.
Persons with conditions listed as Compassionate Allowances generally have to provide much less medical information that can be obtained quickly, than a normal applicant, and their applications are approved in a matter of weeks, instead of a long and extended period.
Check Your Eligibility
CAL conditions are selected by a variety of methods ranging from pubic outreach hearings to working with medical and scientific experts and with the National Institutes of Health. There are about 220 qualifying conditions and the current list of those Compassionate Allowances can be found here. New conditions are added annually to the list after extensive research and input.
There are no special application procedures to get SSDI or SSI benefits if a person's condition is a part of the Compassionate Allowances list. Applicants should go through normal submission procedures and Social Security will identify and expedite applications with a CAL condition.
While CAL claims are normally approved in a matter of weeks, how long that approval takes is ultimately determined by how quickly Social Security can get medical evidence from doctors and whether or not a follow-up examination is needed to verify the condition.
It's important to note that being diagnosed and approved for SSDI or SSI benefits with a CAL condition will not increase the amount of a benefit that an applicant can receive. The sole purpose of the CAL component is to speed up the claim process.
To ensure that your claim is expedited, if you have not heard about your claim within one month after submitting it, you should contact Social Security. Another way to ensure you get a quick resolution is to hire an attorney to process your CAL application.
Check Your Eligibility
If you are clearly disabled but your condition is not on the CAL list, you have the option of attempting to file a Quick Disability Determination (QDD). You may be successful in speeding up your claim decision if you have an obvious disability that keeps you from working.
