Immigrants are a driving force of American innovation, invention and enterprise. In 1990, Congress recognized the potential of foreign entrepreneurs and their contributions to the American economy by enacting the EB5, or foreign-investor program. In simple terms, the EB-5 program allows an immigrant to secure an employment visa and gain permanent residence in the U.S. by investing in a new commercial enterprise and creating jobs for American workers.
This page was designed to help foreign investors understand some of the basic concepts surrounding the EB5 visa. Continue reading to learn more about the following topics:
- EB5 Basics
- Qualifying For an EB5 Visa
- Applying for An EB5 Visa
- Regional Center Program
- Removing Conditions of Permanent Residency
- EB5 in the News
- Can My Family Apply Too?
- Do I Need an Immigration Lawyer?
While this page discusses certain topics relating to immigration law, it is not intended as a substitute for speaking directly with an attorney. The law is complex, and an experienced attorney can help foreign investors avoid costly and time- consuming mistakes during the application process.
EB-5 Basics
Every year the U.S. Department of State (DOS) issues roughly 140,000 employment-based immigrant visas. Of the five types of employment visas issued annually, 7.1 percent are EB-5, also known as fifth-preference visas. Obtaining an immigrant visa is one of the key steps in applying for lawful permanent resident status (green card).
Unlike other types of employment visas (EB-1, EB-2, etc.), the EB-5 doesn't require the applicant to have an offer of employment inside the U.S. Rather, the applicant's eligibility for residence hinges on his or her investment in the U.S. economy. In order to qualify for an EB-5, a foreign investor must do one of two things:
- Invest $1,000,000 in a qualifying new commercial enterprise.
- Invest $500,000 in a high unemployment or rural area inside the U.S. (targeted area).
Qualifying for an EB5 Visa
It is not enough for a foreign investor to simply give money to any U.S. company in order to gain permanent resident status. The law requires an investment in a new commercial enterprise that creates 10 full-time jobs.
According to federal code, a new commercial enterprise is defined as a company formed after Nov. 29, 1990.[1] In some cases a business formed prior to this date can be considered new if the business has been expanded or restructured so that a new commercial enterprise results.
If only $500,000 is to be invested, the money must benefit a business in a targeted employment area — either high unemployment or rural area.
According to U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Services (USCIS), a targeted employment area features unemployment of at least 150 percent of the national average or lies outside of a metropolitan statistical area or city with a population of 20,000 or more. For more information on statistical areas, visit the Office of Management and Budget.
The 10 full-time jobs created as a result of the investment must go to U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents or immigrants authorized to work in the U.S. It is important to note these jobs cannot be applied to the investor, investor's spouse, or children.
When it comes to verifying the funds used for the investment, the entrepreneur must be able to establish that he or she is the legal owner of the capital. Money gained illegally cannot be used in the investment, and the accounts used must be in the entrepreneur's name.
While joint accounts between the entrepreneur and spouse can be used, joint accounts between the entrepreneur and other family members do not qualify. The foreign investor can use money from a business loan, but only if the investor is personally liable for the amount of the loan.
During the petition process, the applicant will be required to provide evidence of his or her involvement in the commercial enterprise through foreign business registration records, tax returns or documents identifying sources of the investor's money.
Regional Center Program
The regional center program was established to lessen some of the job creation requirements for EB5 applicants and allows, in certain cases, investment that contributes indirectly to the creation of jobs. A regional center is defined by USCIS as an "economic unit, public or private, which is involved with the promotion of economic growth, including increased export sales, improved regional productivity, job creation and increased domestic capital investment."[2]
If you have questions about investing with a regional center, call our immigration lawyer to see if we can help.
Applying for an EB-5 Visa
Unlike other immigrant visas, an EB-5 applicant does not need to be sponsored by a U.S. employer, or have a job offer waiting inside the U.S.
The foreign investor can begin the process by hiring a lawyer and filing a Petition by Alien Entrepreneur (Form I-526). This is done through U.S. Immigration and Customs Services (USCIS). During this stage of the application process, the foreign investor must provide a comprehensive business plan that demonstrates jobs will be created within two years. This two-year time frame commences six months after the petition is approved. Once the petition is approved, the applicant has two options:
- File an Application to Register Permanent Status (Form I-485) with USCIS.
- File an Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration (Form DS-230 or DS-260) with U.S. Department of State.
Once either of these forms is approved, the applicant will be granted conditional permanent residence, which is valid for a two-year period.
Removing Conditions on Permanent Residency
The purpose of the two-year condition on the EB-5 visa is to prevent immigrants from making an investment, gaining permanent residence, then abandoning their business.
In order to have the conditions removed, the immigrant must file, prior to the two-year anniversary of conditional status, a Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status (Form I-829). This should be done no later than 90 days before the two-year anniversary date. During this portion of the application process, the foreign investor must provide documentation of the investment, which includes:
- Business invoices and receipts
- Bank statements
- Contracts
- Business licenses
- Audited or reviewed financial statements
- Federal or state income tax returns
- Quarterly tax statements
The EB5 applicant must also provide evidence of the creation of 10 full-time jobs for qualifying employees:
- Business payroll records
- Relevant tax documents
- Employee Eligibility Verification (Form I-9)
In the event that the EB5 recipient has invested in a troubled business in an attempt to preserve existing jobs, the same documentation listed above is required, except the proof is applied to whether 10 jobs were saved as opposed to being created.
If UCSIS approves the petition, the EB-5 investor and his or her family will have unconditional permanent resident status and be able to live and work permanently in the U.S.
EB-5 in the News
In Long Beach, California, plans are underway to invest in the Queen Mary tourist attraction, a long-time city destination that has lost some of its luster over the decades. According to the LA Times, a private company named Urban Commons hopes to add to existing hotel rooms on the vintage ocean liner as well as construct an entirely new boutique hotel on nearby terra firma. As questions of funding arise, financing through the EB5 visa program has been floated as a way to attract foreign investors.
A recent OC Register article detailed the story of Xiaoyu Hou, a 32-year-old Chinese immigrant who invested $500,000 in a San Bernardino redevelopment project and secured a green card. The article notes that since the end of the great recession, the EB5 program has grown rapidly. Orange County developers claimed that in 2012, EB-5 investment created 16,000 direct and indirect jobs and generated $404 million in revenue. In 2015, the OC Register posted a list of EB5 projects around the county. These projects included construction of condominiums, office buildings and hotels.
Can My Family Apply Too?
Generally speaking, yes. Based on an EB-5 investor's approved petition, the applicant's spouse and minor unmarried children (under 21 years old) may apply for an immigration visa too. It is important to remember however, that the 10 jobs to be created as a result of the foreign investment cannot be slotted for the applicant's family. If you have questions about who is eligible to obtain permanent residence through an EB5 visa, a qualified immigration attorney can help.
Do I Need an Immigration Lawyer?
In our opinion an EB-5 applicant should not petition on his or her own behalf. The assistance of an experienced immigration lawyer in this complicated application process may save thousands of dollars and an enormous amount of time. The process of applying for permanent residence through federal agencies can be extremely intimidating as well as confusing. When considering the application for an EB5 immigrant visa, many variables come in to play and include questions of funding, the benefits of investment as well as family eligibility. If you would like to find out more about the application process for an employment-based visa, contact our office to see if we can help.

Mexican police have arrested and detained an Argentine citizen for allegedly trying to poison the Venezuelan actress Gabriela Spanic; her son Gabriel Spanic; her mom and her son's nanny this Monday.
The star of "Soy tu Duena" (Televisa) filed a complaint against Fernandez, 24 who lived at the home of the actress after they hired her as his assistant in January.
The actress reported to the authorities that from April she and her family have begun to have experience vomiting, dizziness, headaches, weakness and chills.
Spanic said she shared the symptoms, his mother, his son and a maid.
By August, the symptoms continued leading the actress and her family to go to a specialist. After running some tests, ammonia was detected in their blood, "what was causing the symptoms was long-term poisoning which could have been fatal," said Attorney in charge of the case .
In early August, Spanic had given permission for her assistant to visit her family in Argentina.
According to the complaint, the actress and her family realized that the only one that had not been ill was Fernandez, who allegedly for several weeks has neither been eating nor drinking anything in the house.
The attorney said the police located in the bedroom of the assistant the two vials containing ammonium sulfide.
Fernandez was arrested on August 19 in southern Mexico City on her return from Argentina. In her handbag were found two vials with the same substance.
The Argentine citizen remains to be detained in a prison in the capital and so far has not revealed a possible motive for the attempted murder of the actress Gabriela Spanic and her family.
Spanic A spokeswoman said in a press release would not comment "until his legal team deems appropriate."
All those affected by ammonium are under drug treatment, but did not specify when or in what is expiring.
"We appreciate your attention to this painful and sensitive issue of Gabriela Spanic and his family well in advance for your support as always unconditional love of his fans and the general public at this difficult time," said the spokeswoman's statement said Paty Padilla .
Among other soap operas, Spanic also starred in "Tierra de Pasiones", "The Intruder", "Revenge" and "usurper."

If you are familiar with his work you will know what a privilege it was for me to be able to attend his AW15 show for the second season running! Isham is always a highlight at Fashion Scout, and I got that giddy feeling just before the lights went down and the show was about to start as to what spectacular creations Ashley had in store for us!
What I love about Ashley Isham is that his collections tell a story. This season the inspiration for the collection is the creative life of a nomadic wanderer. It is a story about an aristocratic woman who is left broken-hearted and embarks on a journey of personal freedom to find herself again….
This collection showcases Ashley's illustrious couture glamour, each piece unique and carefully crafted. Yet once again he seems to get the balance just right so that it still feels completely wearable (with exception to a couple of headpieces!)
The collection has a romanticism and avante-garde feel to it that is omnipresent in Ashley's work, and I can't help but feel transported to somewhere mysterious. The layering of heavy fabrics on decorative gowns in autumnal hues and ruching and plaiting of material gives the collection a roughness to it that hints at the nomadic nature of the collection.
Once again Ashley's won us over! It can't get better than this…can it?!
Here are a few shots I captured at the show!

Microsoft said on Wednesday it will release the source code for its set of tools that will allow customers to build Web services and other applications based on its .Net initiative as part of its recently announced shared source program.
Microsoft will work with Corel to build a noncommercial version of its C# programming language and the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI). Both are key technologies Microsoft has built for .Net. Corel will work with Microsoft, which invested $US135 million in the Canadian company in October, to create shared versions of the technologies to run on the Windows operating system and the FreeBSD operating system. FreeBSD is an open source version of Unix.
Microsoft's C# programming language is a new Java-like language. It was released with Microsoft's set of development tools, Visual Studio.Net -- a graphical developer's environment that allows programs to be written in more than 23 programming languages. The Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is also included in Visual Studio.Net to allow developers to write applications in C# and run them on any operating system.
Hoping to make the two technologies open standards, Microsoft presented C# and CLI to a standards body last year.
Microsoft will make the code available for academic, research, debugging and learning purposes, the company said. The code will be published under Microsoft's shared source license, which allows certain corporate and academic partners to view Microsoft's code. Microsoft Senior Vice President Craig Mundie announced the shared source philosophy last month during a speech at New York University.
Offering a shared source version of C# and CLI is a demonstration of the company's commitment to open standards in .Net and will allow Web services built on the technology to interoperate with competing operating systems, Microsoft said. Microsoft has focused its efforts on a number of open standards in .Net, including XML (Extensible Markup Language) and UDDI (universal description, discovery and integration) -- a directory for companies to post information and Web services, which has been called the "Yellow Pages" of the Internet.
While Microsoft has embraced these open standards and its shared source philosophy, it has come out strongly against open source, where source code is freely shared and published.

25. Natalya
Natalya's comeback has been lackluster and her loss to Paige this week on SmackDown didn't help.
24. Fandango
Fandango lost this week to Bo Dallas o Superstars.
23. Zack Ryder
Zach Ryder was defeated by Stardust this week on Main Event.
22. The Miz
Sometimes I forget the Miz is still on the roster. He lost this week to Dolph Ziggler on SmackDown.
21. Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch probably shouldn't be on the list at all, but with so many superstars either taking time off, or grouped together as a tag-team, there was slim pickins' this week to compile this list.
20. The Ascension
The Ascension continue their descent into obscurity. IMO, WWE mishandled these guys from the moment they brought them to the main roster.
19. Paige
Paige had a mixed week. She lost on Raw in tag-team action, but defeated Natalya on SmackDown. She also solidified her role as heel, which works way better for her than how she was presented in the past.
18. Bo Dallas
Bo Dallas picked up a rare victory against Fandango this week on SuperStars.
17. Lucha Dragons
The Lucha Dragons had a week filled with wins this week in both tag-team and singles action.
16. Dudley Boyz
The Dudley Boyz were buried again on Monday Night Raw in 6-man tag action, but picked up a victory alongside Lucha Dragons this Thursday on SmackDown.
15. Stardust
Its a shame there isn't more for the artist formally known as Cody, as he is a great worker and always puts on a good match. He picked up a win this week on Main Event.
14. Charlotte
Charlotte didn't see any singles action this week, but was met with defeat in tag action against Team Bella on Raw.
13. Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler has been on fire lately. Last week he had a great match against Cena, and this week he had two awesome matches on Raw against Big E, and then in the fatal 4-way match for the #1 contendership. Although he isn't #1 contender, I look forward to see what Ziggler does in the coming weeks.
12. Neville
Neville's match with Del Rio on Raw was spectacular. I hope to see him placed in more matches where he can display what an incredible athlete he truly is.
11. Cesaro
Cesaro has turned up the energy in his style and the fans are responding accordingly. I probably sound like a broken record, but I hope Cesaro starts to win more matches and is presented as a more serious threat on the main roster.
10. Team Bella
Team Bella defeated Team PCB on Raw, proving that they don't need to hold the Diva's Championship to remain at the top of the division.
9. Dean Ambrose
Ambrose only had one match this week on SmackDown in tag action against The Wyatt Family. His team came up short, but Ambrose is steadily building his character each week. I hope to see in the near future a triple threat match for the title between all three members of the Shield.
8. Sheamus, Barrett, Rusev
I would love to see this team solidify into an actual stable. WWE has been playing around with a lot of 3 person teams as of late. It makes me wonder if they are planning some sort of Trios event.
7. New Day
Speaking of 3 person teams, New Day haven't been themselves without Xavier Woods. I can't wait until the trombone plays again.
6. Kane/Undertaker
Its apparent that Kane and Undertaker are going to tag up against the Wyatt's at some point. This is the storyline we've been waiting for since The Wyatt Family Debuted. People bitch and moan about how "they are burying Undertaker at the end of his career", but this storyline is going to unfold into something special.
5. Kevin Owens
Owens' career has been full steam ahead since he stepped foot in a WWE ring. He shows no signs of slowing down either as he bulldozes through the midcard. His matches on Raw this week were spectacular. His match with Cesaro was like watching an ROH main event from a few years ago. People talk a lot about the "WWE" style, but both Owens and Cesaro never lost that raw hybrid style one can only acquire by wrestling all over the world. I hopethat Owens will start being booked in IC Championship matches with guys like Cesaro, Neville, or even Dolph Ziggler.
4. Alberto Del Rio
Del Rio had an awesome match against Neville this Monday on Raw. I've always liked Del Rio, and I think his recent comeback has not only reinvigorated his character, but also made the WWE Universe realize what they were missing while he was gone. Some people may think he is boring, but his work is stiff and clean. He has held 6 world titles throughout his career, including the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship twice apiece. He is also the current AAA Mega Champion in Mexico, which makes him a true international superstar. I hope we continue to see Del Rio booked against guys who can bring out his true talent.
3. Roman Reigns
Reigns has stepped up his game since last year's Royal Rumble/WrestleMania fiasco. His assent to #1 contendership this time around seems a little more organic. With that said, I'm still not %100 sold on Roman Reigns as the next top guy in WWE.
2. Seth Rollins
Rollins is a great champion. How good is he, you ask? He is so good that he took the entire week off yet still deserves one of the top spots on this list.
1. The Wyatt Family
The Wyatt Family have the most interesting storyline going right now. This week, they took down Kane on Raw, and defeated Ambrose, Cesaro, and Ryback on SmackDown. Although their gimmick is over the top, they pull it off with grace. Between the raw talent of this team, and the sheer size and power of each member, they are set to become one of the great stables in pro wrestling history.
Do you think anyone should be listed differently?
What can these Superstars do to get back up at the #1 spot?

UConn unanimous choice as No. 1 in women's hoops poll
After two more road victories, UConn is now the unanimous No. 1 in women's hoops.
The Huskies moved back to the top spot in the AP women's basketball poll last week and then beat No. 2 Notre Dame on Wednesday as well as topping Kansas State on Sunday to improve their winning streak to 84 consecutive games. UConn received all 33 first place votes from a national media panel Monday. The Huskies are off this week for exams.
Despite the loss, the Irish remain in second. Baylor, Maryland and Mississippi State are next. South Carolina, Florida State, Louisville, UCLA and Stanford round out the first 10 teams in the poll.
Arizona State came back into the poll at No. 23 and Oregon entered at 25. It's the Ducks' first ranking since 2003.
''It's nice, I've been around this game long enough that it only means we're playing pretty well and people are noticing,'' Oregon coach Kelly Graves said.
Graves' team will get tested quickly as the Ducks visit Clemson on Monday night. Oregon's lone loss this season came against Mississippi State in Hawaii over Thanksgiving.
''If we lose tonight against Clemson we're not ranked anymore. I've never been one to focus on that stuff, we're just trying to get better every day,'' he said. ''This is a good test for us as Clemson is 8-0. They have ACC athletes. We go to Ole Miss next and they have SEC athletes. Won't be an easy trip for a bunch of young kids.''
The Sun Devils re-entered the Top 25 after beating Kentucky in overtime on Sunday in front of 13,225 fans. Florida and Oregon State fell out.
The Pac-12 now has six teams in the poll with the Beavers and Cal just outside.
''There's no gimme on the schedule,'' Graves said of the Pac-12. ''That's how good the conference is. Who's the weakling? If you don't find one that means it's you.''

Afghan Biographies
Dostum, Abdul Rashid
|Dostum, Abdul Rashid
|Ethnic backgr.
|Date of birth
|First Vice President of Afghanistan
|History and Biodata
2. Former Functions:
3. Biodata:
On May 20, 2003, General Dostum survived suicide bomber assassination attempt while at leaving the mosque for Eid Al-Adha.
Dostum was accused of undermining oil and gas explorations in the Amu River basin -- forcing the National Security Council (NSC) to refer him to the AGO as traitor to the nation. Deputy AGO, Rahmatullah Nazari said that they had initiated investigations on the issue after receiving a letter from the NSC. On 20120610, the NSC urged the Ministry of Interior to deploy a 300-member security squad to protect oil and gas fields in the Amu River basin in northern Sar-i-Pul province.(20120613) Militia loyal to army chief of staff General Abdul Rashid Dostum were disrupting oil exploration by a Chinese state firm, underlining the challenges facing foreign investors in Afghanistan. Supporters of Dostum were demanding a share of the proceeds. State-owned CNPC and joint venture partner Watan Group, a diversified Afghan company, will explore for oil in three fields in the basin -- Kashkari, Bazarkhami and Zamarudsay -- which are estimated to hold about 87 million barrels of oil.
The Ministry of Defence, as a military laws implementer, sent a letter to General Abdul Rashid Dostum, who is the Military Supreme Commander's chief of staff, and reminded him that, in accordance with the Constitution, being a high ranking military official cannot have political activities at the same time. The Ministry of Defence, in a letter asked him to choose between one of the two options: give up military position or political activities. (20120628)
Dostum's office in a statement on 20120630 said the office of military supreme commander's chief of staff was superior over all ministries and security organs and the office did not belong to the defence ministry. The letter was a serious blunder on the part of defence ministry' the statement said. The statement quoted Dostum as saying he did not respond to the letter because it had no legal basis.
It is said the Afghan government imposed a travel ban on Ahmad Zia Masoud and Abdul Rashid Dostum, key members of National Front Party. (20120715)
It is said in case of civil war, Dostum will take Sheberghan.(20120720)
Gen. Dostum admitted that he will remain in Turkey temporarily due to some political issues he is facing and considering the national interests of the country.(20170910)
Afghan Vice President Abdul Rashid Dostum was not harmed in ambushes by Taliban insurgents over the weekend, Afghan officials said Sunday Mar 31, 2019, as his convoy was traveling from Balkh Province to neighboring Jawzjan Province, where he house is. He survived the second assassination attemppt in less than a year.

Renewing Friendships
Est. 2002
I must say that we have been through A LOT. Guys went along, sleepless nights because of the thesis, mad boyfriends, and petty fights surpassed. But here we are again, proving that friendships are WAY more important than any guy. After almost a year, Mela and I started talking again. In spite of the loss during the previous year, I gained friends, old and new. Now I'm back with one of my best friends. :) And I'm so, so happy that we reconciliated again.
Finally, SILA NA TALAGA! :)
During our first year in college, Karch and I are in the same group of friends, same projects, plays, etc. But after graduation, we just got so busy that we only say our hi's and hello's at multiply. But if my breakup has taught me anything, it showed me who my real friends are. When my heart was torn apart, Karch has been there to listen,drop by to our office just to bring me dessert, and basically beat the sh*t out of my ex. :) So last Saturday, I never missed going to Jet and her party to celebrate "SILA NA!". I'm just so happy for the two of them since I've somehow witnessed how their lurve story evolve. :)
Now, if anyone would ask me how my heart is, I would gladly tell that I feel loved. I am overflowing with joy because I have friends who stood by me through everything. I haven't mentioned most of my friends yet, but if I would sum them all, my gratitude is not enough for all of them. Guess I have to spend another lifetime more just so I could say thanks to them. :P
Love, Love, Love! Who says you need a date to be happy this Valentine's Day right? Friends are all I need for now, with or without a special someone. :D
Later! :)

We watched in horror and sadness this week as the tragic events unfolded in Greater Manchester, one of our beloved 100RC member cities. But, in the wake of such unthinkable violence, I was also deeply moved and inspired to see the community pull together, providing rides, places to stay, support for responders, as well as giving voice to unity at vigils. This is what makes Manchester a leader in resilience.
Unfortunately, attacks of this nature are frequent enough that the cities in our network – including Manchester itself – have experience managing the aftermath. We at 100RC stand ready to offer that, and any other expertise and knowledge we have at our disposal, to the city as they look to recover, build back stronger, and prevent future attacks.
Building resilience is about preparing for unexpected challenges and engaging deeply and broadly to understand problems in all their complexity. It's the work our cities do daily so that they are ready when events like those of this week unfold. In the wake of this horrible tragedy, our commitment remains as strong as ever to working with Greater Manchester to make it a more resilient place for all those who reside there.

The candidate of North Macedonia's governing coalition Stevo Pendarovski won the presidential election runoff on May 5, leading his rival from the main opposition party by nearly seven percentage points.
The outcome of the second round was uncertain as the two candidates had been neck and neck in the first, and there were also fears that the threshold of 40% might not be reached. After the first round of the presidential election was marked with a low turnout of around 41%, people were more eager to vote in the runoff, which ended with a turnout of 46.7%, making the vote successful and averting a possible political crisis.
The victory for Pendarovski, 56, is a validation of the ruling coalition's pro-western approach of which the priorities are Nato and EU integration.
Pendarovski won 51.66% of the votes while his rival Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, a 64 year-old law professor and the candidate of the main opposition VMRO-DPMNE party, won 44.73% after all votes were counted, the state election commission's data showed.
In the first round held on April 21, Pendarovski was less than one percentage point ahead of Siljanovska-Davkova, while the third candidate ethnic Albanian Blerim Reka won 10.6% of the votes.
Pendarovski will replace pro-VMRO-DPMNE President Gjorge Ivanov, who has served two five-year mandates.
The president of the election commission Oliver Derkoski said that the election were fair and democratic without major incidents.
About 1.8mn citizens were eligible to vote. More than 3,000 local and international observers monitored the elections.
"The outcome of the election means that the path for moving forward toward EU membership is guaranteed," Pendarovski said at the news conference following the vote. Pendarovski was supported by 30 smaller political parties.
"I'll serve all citizens, I will unite people not divide," Pendarovski said.
Following the slim lead of Pendarovski in the first round, which was seen as a signal that voters were not satisfied with the government's performance, Prime Minister Zoran Zaev reiterated that major changes will be made in the ruling party, the government and public institutions in order to eliminate weaknesses.
While the presidency is a mainly ceremonial post, the election was seen as the first major test for Zaev's Social Democrats following the Prespa name agreement with Greece.
Under the deal the country changed its name to North Macedonia, which was not accepted by the opposition VMRO-DPMNE. However, the deal opened the way for the country to become part of Nato and the EU, as Greece lifted its objections after the decades long dispute was resolved.
The name question was at the heart of the election campaigns of the two opponents.
Instead of congratulating Pendarovski on his election victory, Siljanovska-Davkova said she does not feel that she has been defeated.
After she won in most of the municipalities with a majority Macedonian population, Siljanovska-Davkova stressed that the outcome of the second round shows that it is time for an early general election.
Overall, the turnout of the ethnic Albanians was very low but their votes seem to have been decisive for the outcome of the runoff.
This was the sixth presidential vote in the country and the first since the changing of the country's name to North Macedonia.
EU Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn congratulated Pendarovski on his election as a president.
"I look forward to the continued cooperation on the EU reform agenda in view of last year's Council conclusions setting the path towards opening the accession negotiations in June 2019," Hahn said in a tweet.
Pendarovski was the country's coordinator for Nato accession. He is a professor of political science and a long-term politician seen as having strong integrity.
This is his second run at the presidency. In the previous election in April 2014, Pendarovski, the SDSM candidate, was defeated by the incumbent head of the state Ivanov, who was supported by now opposition VMRO-DPMNE, which at that time was a strong ruling party.

The amount of solar energy striking the surface of the earth in two hours is enough to supply all of humankind's needs for an entire year. For this reason, it is widely thought that solar energy should be our primary source of electricity. If this is to happen, however, there must be cost-effective ways to obtain solar electricity regardless of the time of day, weather, or seasonal changes. Essentially, there must be ways to store the energy from the sun to use it when we need it.
For the most part, storage technologies for solar energy are systems separate from the solar cells or concentrated solar power devices that generate the power and these are in the form of batteries or other storage devices. However, there is research in directly integrating energy storage with solar cells which would be especially attractive in applications such as wearable electronics.
Researchers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia recently published research on biomimetic graphene electrodes for solar energy storage. The mimicry of nature in this case is replicating the structure of fern leaves. The leaves of ferns are densely crammed with veins, which makes them extremely efficient for storing energy and transporting water around the plant.
Using a similar structure in an electrode allows it to store much more energy in a given volume. The researchers found that when they use the fern-inspired nanostructure electrode in a supercapacitor – which is one type of energy storage device – its storage capacity is increased by a factor of 30 by significantly increasing the ratio of active surface area to volume.
If this technology can be combined with flexible solar cells, there is the prospect for a variety of efficient self-powered and solar-powered wearable, flexible and portable devices.

Hi there,
I do hope you are doing fine, as I am, today was my day off and I took it to organize a few things I have here, some of them are a few crochet projects that haven't been finished yet.
I also took some time to read my posts backwards, I found a request of a reader, I hope she can see it as now I found the time to answer to it properly. she liked the crochet Rose pattern and asked me how to make a leaf and the spiral too.
I decided just for the matter of filing later, to split the instructions in 2, being the first the instructions on how I make the leaves.
I must let you know hat in case you are just a beginner you might find Annie's Attic instructions really handy
Crochet Leaf:
any kind of yarn
a crochet hook compatible to the yarn you are using
chain stitch= ch
slip stitch= sl
single crochet=sc
half double crochet= hdc
double crochet=dc
treble or triple crochet=tc
Start with 13 chains.
Row 1 – turn your work, make 1 more chain an in the second ch from hook make a sc,*1 hdc in each of the next 2 ch, 1 dc in each of the next 2 chains, 1 tc in the next ch -which will be your 7th chain- 1dc in each of the next 2 chs, 1 hdc in each of your 2 next chains, 1 sc 1ch *and turn your work, do the same stitches you did in the previous row.
Row 2– 1sc in each of the next 2 ch and repeat from *to* . In case you want a "firmer" leaf, do one sl in each chain at the back of the initial chain, in its center, it will make the leaf looks even more realistic. I particularly like it.
Fasten off. Make a few and sew the cork/spiral adornment. This pattern is coming soon.
Hope you liked it,
Take care,


text: Think 'Woodstock' and the mind turns to the seminal 1969 festival that crowned a seismic decade of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. But Woodstock itself was over 60 miles from the site to which the fabled half a million flocked. So why the misnomer? Quite simply, Woodstock was already a key location in the Sixties rock landscape, the tiny Catskills town where Bob Dylan had holed up after his 1966 motorcycle accident. In Small Town Talk, Barney Hoskyns recreates Woodstock's community of brilliant dysfunctional musicians, opportunistic hippie capitalists and scheming dealers drawn to the area by Dylan and his sidekicks The Band. Central to the book's narrative is the broodingly powerful presence of Albert Grossman, manager of Dylan, The Band, Janis Joplin and Todd Rundgren - and Big Daddy of a personal fiefdom in Bearsville that encompassed studios, restaurants and his own record label. Intertwined in the story are the Woodstock experiences of artists as diverse as Van Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Butterfield, Tim Hardin, Karen Dalton and Bobby Charles.Drawing on first-hand interviews with the remaining key players in the scene, and on the period when he lived there himself in the 1990s, Hoskyns has produced an East Coast companion to his bestselling LA Canyon classic Hotel California - a richly absorbing study of a vital music scene in a revolutionary time and place.

On this date, the American evolutionary biologist George Gaylord Simpson was born. Simpson was the most influential paleontologist of the twentieth century and a major participant in the Modern Synthesis, contributing Tempo and Mode in Evolution (1944) and Principles of Classification and a Classification of Mammals (1945). Among other things, he is notable for anticipating such concepts as punctuated equilibrium (in his 1944 work, see quantum evolution), and dispelling the myth that the evolution of the horse was a linear process culminating in the modern Equus caballus.
[My favorite Simpson quotes – Ed.:]
"Any sensitive person must feel a basically religious awe in the face of the mysteries of life and of the universe, but belief in an anthropomorphic god, in a savior, or in a prophet is nonsense" (Autobiographical Notes, 1970, p. 17).
"The fact – not theory – that evolution has occurred and the Darwinian theory as to how it occurred have become so confused in popular opinion that the distinction must be stressed" (This View of Life: The World of an Evolutionist, 1964, p. 10).

It is now the last day of NaNoWriMo and I'm still under 30,000 words. I hit a snag about mid month and sadly didn't recover. It wasn't a plot problem so much as a personal rut, but here we are.
I scrapped my manuscript idea on Day 7 and set my new goal of finishing my other manuscript that I started in April. So I went into this knowing that it was unlikely that I would hit 50,000 words, but I was gonna write my butt off to finish the manuscript.
To end of NaNoWriMo on a high note, I'll be attending my last local write-in of 2015. I really loved meeting like-minded nanos, binging on coffee and laughing more than writing. I have no close friends that write and I really wanted to build my network a bit.
Ultimately, I'd still like to get this manuscript done before the end of 2015 so I can dedicate the winter months of 2016 to editing. Wish me luck!

Yippee. I'm so glad that you have landed at my site,
to check out our Stamp Off challenge, hosted by
Buffy, Susan and myself. We're happy to have you!
Our challenge today is "DSP to the Rescue". I love
Designer Series Paper because it perks up a card,
provides ideas for color combinations I would not
think of, and adds texture to projects. Stampin' Up! offers
lots of DSP choices, so you are in for a treat.
remember the exact name; perhaps "Torn Paper".
At any rate, that's what I did. I took strips of the
2016-18 In Color Envelope paper on page 176, tore it
into pieces and glued it to a piece of card stock. This technique adds so much color and texture, that it's really fun. After the glue
had dried, I embossed the panel with clear embossing powder.
Then I created a pattern with elements from the Flourish
Thinlits on page 194, adhering them to a piece of Early Espresso
card stock. The sentiment came from my fav resource for
words; the Sunshine Sayings set on page 97.
I added In Color Enamel Shapes to complete the look.
Thank you so much for checking out my Stamp Off project.
Now hop on over to see the WONDERFUL projects offered

Ah, who doesn't love a good mermaid story?
I started reading this a while ago, but never got to the end. This time I actually finished it, and am about to start the sequel, Evergreen.
Basically, Ashlyn's best friend, Tatiana, is a mermaid. Her whole family are mer, including her twin brother Finley, Ash's long-term crush. Their father guards the Lake Tahoe gate to Natatoria, the underwater land of the mer.
When their dad is requested for a mission, the twins and their mother are stuck in Natatoria. Meanwhile, Ash is getting close to the most popular guy at school, while worrying herself to death about her friends' disappearance.
Fin sneaks out of the gate without permission, witnessing Ashlyn falling off a boat and injuring herself. The only way to save her would require the life-long joining of their souls. As punishment, Fin is thrown in an underwater prison, until Tatchi breaks him out and the pair escape Natatoria together. Again, they are captured – only this time, their punishment is to be promised. For mer, a promising is more powerful than marriage. But Fin is already promised to Ash, and he refuses to allow Tatch to be promised to someone she loathes so much.
Their father returns to break them out of Natatoria for good, but for Tatch he's too late. The family flees without her, blocking up the gate in Tahoe. For a while, Fin and Ash finally get to be together, until the family receives word of mermen heading their way.
I'm really not a romance person, especially not cheesy romance. I do love a good mermaid book, and the way this is about a human girl and a merman (as opposed to the other way round) is refreshing. But it's just a bit too lovey-dovey for me, and rather predictable.
Ashlyn herself seems to overreact rather a lot, and a lot of her "serious" problems are pretty, well, stupid. To be fair, I know of a few teens that would react in a similar manner, but they are not the kind of people I want to be around. So basically, Ash got on my nerves a bit throughout this book.
Natatoria is nicely developed, and the story behind the king and his son's love for Tatch is a good detail. It's not an ordinary mermaid book, but still has a nice hint of magic and mystery.
It's a relatively easy read, but a bit too cheesy for my taste. I didn't love it, I didn't hate it. 3 stars for Everblue.

- Will I fail or test postive for THC / CBD "drugs" or will eating a hemp pretzel from Hempzels™ trigger a false positive?
- this symbol & our pledge were signed on October 2001 - you will NOT TEST POSITIVE because we use industrial / agricultural hemp not medicinal or recreational cannabis grown for "flower" vs flour.

Jesus said to Martha, "'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?' She said to Him, 'Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world'" (John 11:25-27 NKJV). 1) Jesus gives hope for life after this life. 2) To prepare for this, one must be "buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses" (Colossians 2:12-13 NKJV). 3) No other religion can promise so much for so many!

Dear Libran,
I don't believe your last five words.
Dear Jonathan, I cannot believe you advocate a climate change agreement. Global warming is a complete hoax. I'm disgusted and will never read your horoscopes again. Sue
Dear Stuart, Actually, 'the great and the good' is a tongue-in-cheek phrase.
Dear Sue, I'm not advocating agreement, I'm predicting it. There's a difference. If only we could capture the hot air from both sides of this debate we'd have no energy problem!
Dear Helle, Not always. Whenever any two planets form a 45 degree angle, there's tension. Astrology books for beginners often oversimplify some of the rules about 'aspects'.
Jonathan, I've heard that December 21, 2012 brings an alignment that only happens every 20,000 years. Paula
Dear Paula, That's stretching a point and playing with language to sell books and films about the Mayan Calendar!

On the same day that Kanye West and Adidas released the Yeezy Boost 350 v2, West made an unexpected appearance in Chicago. And no, it wasn't to meet customers waiting to get a pair of his shoes.
West took the stage at Chance the Rapper's Magnificent Coloring Day Festival on Saturday, much to the surprise of the crowd. West wore a sweatshirt from his "Pablo" line of concert merchandise and a pair of unreleased Yeezy Boost 350 v2s. He has been seen wearing the black and white knit sneakers before. The shoes have the same "SPLY-350" branding on the side stripe as the ones released over the weekend.
Even West's daughter, North, has worn these Yeezys.

As a young Ukrainian girl living on the Canadian prairies, I was immersed in an English-speaking community. I grew up in a Ukrainian family where everyone spoke Ukrainian all the time. By the age of 5 years, I was fluent and could easily understand what was being said to me and I could easily join in a conversation. But all of that changed when I started to attend elementary school.
"If you have anything to say, you must say it in English" !
I can still hear my Grade One teacher telling us to "speak English". If we said anything in Ukrainian, we got sent into the cloak room. The cloak room was an unlit, small back room where we hung our coats, scarves and toques and changed in and out of our boots. I am remembering boots because we did have winter for six months out of the school year. The smell of wet soggy fur-lined or felt insoles lingers and does leave a distinctive smell. Amazing how one can remember a smell! But I digress.
I think that some of my more vocal classmates even received the strap but I never did. The strap had not yet been ruled out of the education system back then.
Now you have to remember that I didn't just speak Ukrainian, I also thought my ideas and words in Ukrainian.
Here's an example of how this got me into trouble in Grade One.
One day we were learning about the beginning sounds of words. I think I was in the Bluebird group (I wonder if that was the advanced group or the slow learner group?).
First, the teacher put up two letters, "s and p" and showed us that they could be pushed together to form "sp". She asked if anyone knew any words that began with "sp"? Well, I did, and I quickly raised my hand. "Petrosha, what's your word?" she asked. I said that I had two… "Spic and Span". With a pleasantly surprised looked, she said that I was right. I was so proud of myself.
Then she put up a "q and u", pushed them together. Hmm, no one knew. So she showed us a picture. I quickly threw up my hand again and said, "I know! It's a перо галочка".
Everyone including the teacher burst out laughing. Then she recovered and yelled "No ! Go to the cloakroom". I was so upset. I cried sitting on that floor in the dark cloakroom. I knew that I was right. It was the teacher who didn't understand. I knew the answer. It was a feather tick, my quilt that I had on my bed.
A lot of years have passed since then and I still retain some of my fluency in understanding Ukrainian! But I do not speak fluently in Ukrainian. I speak the Ukrainian language of a 5-year-old living in Manitoba in the 1950s. I had to learn English and like many Canadian Ukrainians, did not advance beyond the primary stages. So with this being said, I have now signed up and attend the Taras Shevchenko Ukrainian School once a week.
Come back and I'll let you know how it's going !

Delaware is one of the states in which, if you are arrested, the Delaware Code is currently silent on whether or not law enforcement may seize and examine everything on your cell phone without a warrant.
The Florida Supreme Court recently ruled that such searches are not appropriate with a warrant:
"We refuse to authorize government intrusion into the most private and personal details of an arrestee's life without a search warrant simply because the cellular phone device which stores that information is small enough to be carried on one's person."Given that, in Delaware, we already know that law enforcement is prone to invading your cell phone without your foreknowledge or permission [the DIAC "See something, say something" APP that converts your phone into a device to spy on you], it is not unreasonable to believe that our police are routinely examining the cell phones of people they have stopped or arrested.
[Ironically, a Delaware public official in a meeting on another subject verified that for me yesterday. She noted that she had been stopped by an NCCPD Officer who accused her of having been talking or texting while driving. When she denied it, the officer then demanded to examine both her private and work cell phones to determine the times of her last calls and texts. Amazingly (because the lady in question is actually an attorney) she agreed to this demand, only to realize later that by doing so she had granted him basically an unlimited ability to snoop into her private records based on nothing more than a (possible) minor moving violation infraction.]
Somebody find me a state legislator who actually cares about civil liberties, so we can get a bill written for January requiring police to have a warrant before they get to access your cell phone.

The end of Land Use Contracts (LUC) should prove positive for affected property owners in Whistler, according to one strata manager.
With LUCs set for termination province-wide in just over eight years, the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) is working to put zoning in place for the areas they currently govern.
There are eight LUCs in the RMOW, which affect more than 3,000 owners in 60 different strata corporations and 31 fee simple lots.
Moving to traditional zoning should be a positive thing for property owners, said Beau Craig, managing partner with Whistler Resort Management.
"LUCs are so dated to begin with (and) to have different sets of bylaws and zoning in the municipality — that the municipality has no control over — is potentially not advantageous for all the owners in the municipality," Craig said.
"It's tough to enforce and it's tough to do anything with them, so it makes more sense for them to all be aligned with the municipality.
"Now that this is mandated it's definitely a better thing for stratas for sure."
In May of 2014, the Local Government Act was amended to automatically terminate all LUCs on June 30, 2024 — which means municipalities across B.C. must have new zoning in place for these areas before June 30, 2022.
To accomplish that, the RMOW has its work cut out for it in sorting through the finer details.
At its May 3 meeting, RMOW staff outlined its two options: zone all lands affected by LUCs before 2022 and wait for the contracts to terminate automatically, or zone the lands and terminate the LUCs immediately.
Staff will move ahead with the second option, which means the LUCs will be terminated and rezoned at a rate of one or two contracts per year.
"With a sequenced approach we can sort of adjust it along the way," said senior planner Jake Belobaba in a media briefing ahead of the council meeting.
"We can also spread the demands of staff time and other resources over a longer period. If we had to do all of these at once it would be quite difficult and time consuming."
The sequenced approach also provides more time to consult property owners.
The RMOW will hold two annual info sessions for owners under LUCs, and a website dedicated to the process can be found at www.whistler.ca/landusecontracts.
A special email address has been set up for resident questions and concerns as well: email@example.com.
The goal is to transfer the key elements of existing LUCs into the new zoning, while discarding regulations that are no longer needed.
"So our aim is to make sure that what people have now is what they'll have moving forward," Belobaba said. "To ensure that happens, that takes time, so we're being methodical in making sure that we're not going to miss those sort of aspects."
Property owners can appeal to the Board of Variance (BOV) if they're unhappy with the result.
There won't be any cost to owners through the process, unless they apply to the BOV for a temporary exemption from early LUC termination.
"We're hoping that those applications will be fairly rare, because we're not necessarily changing what the rules say," Belobaba said. "There shouldn't be a lot of circumstances where land owners are feeling a situation of hardship, which would warrant an application to the BOV."
Owners will have the chance to bring concerns to the RMOW throughout the discharge process as well.
Land Use Contracts (LUCs) were a regulatory tool used by the province between 1970 and 1980 as a way of contracting all the development regulations that apply to a property.
According to the province, there were about 2,400 LUC's in B.C. as of 2014.
"One of the main elements of a contract is that it could lock in the regulations forever, and then it could render any future land use regulations imposed on the land as inapplicable," Belobaba said.
The LUCs can't be amended in the same manner as zoning bylaws — even for matters of clarity — and were really only intended for one generation of development, Belobaba said.
"Generally speaking, they're obsolete," he said.

The Unity Agency Mix #35 - Pablo Contraband (08.2012) by The Unity Agency
New mix up - Warming things up nicely for the final secret rooftop party of the season. We're gonna be joined by Cosmic Boogie playing his final DJ set ever before hanging up his headphones, so I expect an excellent and emotional performance from him. Tickets are selling fast this week and there were less than 100 left this evening so don't hang about - £5 a pop here:
I recorded this last Saturday at The Waterhouse in Brighton, a rather swanky new cocktail bar and party space at the Hilton Metropole where I now hold a residency. It's pretty cool and is slowly gaining momentum. They install a nice little Mackie rig for Friday and Saturday nights and have an excellent music policy in place as well as exceptional taste evident in the interior design and the fact they are booking myself and Rich to play there regularly!
Hope you enjoy the dreamy selection of tracks in the mix.

A Revolution In 3D Diagnostic Imaging
There's a new option available for dentists when it comes to taking images of their patients teeth and mouth – the CS9300. Sometimes there's a need to see an image in a higher resolution and that's exactly what this user-friendly system provides. This new highly beneficial diagnostic imaging tool also offers images instantly so there's no waiting. If you're a dentist who is in need of a high resolution image, you have the option to send your patients to us so we can take the image for you.
Because the CS9300 is so new most dentists are still using the same system that they've been using for many years now. This includes using methods that use fairly large amounts of radiation, which most patients would rather stay away from. And because this new technology uses 3D imaging it provides many more details and beneficial information than the current 2D system can.
Because there are so many benefits to be had by using the CS9300 in a dental practice, we now offer in-house imaging so any dentist can now have access to this extremely helpful diagnostic tool.
How The CS9300 Has Benefited Our Patients
The CS9300 works by using a special cone beam along with computed tomography in order to produce the higher resolution image, which is essentially a cone-shaped x-ray beam. This new technology offers an improved way to take the high-quality and super sharp dental images that dentists sometimes need in order to decide the best course of action for a patient.
The CS9300 is very beneficial for many reasons, including:
- The patient receives less radiation,
- It's easy to share these extremely detailed images with patients, which provides a great communication tool,
- It's only necessary to scan the part of the body you need information on,
- Less scanning time needed and
- Image results are received instantly.
When you choose to use the CS 9300, you're choosing a way that will allow you to offer better care for your patients. Using the CS9300 can help you better identify possible disorders, including TMJ disorders, airway problems, sleep apnea, sinus problems, precise implant positioning and wisdom positioning.
How We Can Benefit Your Practice
Because it's important to do what's best for your patients, we offer dental practices the ability to use our CS9300 system. We can provide you with all of the very clear and high resolution images that you need so that you can help your patients better. All you have to do is send us your patients and we'll take the images you need and then send them right back to you for evaluation.
We're currently serving the following California cities – Campbell, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, San Jose, Santa Clara and Saratoga.
Get In Touch
We invite you to get in touch with us today so that you can learn more about how we can work together in order to help you provide better care for your patients. Contact us online or call us today at (408) 354-5600.
