EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program in Los Angeles, CA
Short for employment-based fifth preference, the EB-5 visa program is available to foreign nationals who make qualifying capital investments into new or certain existing United States businesses. Up to 10,000 applicants could qualify for immigrant visas under the EB-5 program each year. These visas may also be offered to investors' spouses and unwed children under 21 years of age.
Understanding the requirements and how to document your qualifications properly can be complex, but you don't have to go through it alone. The Law Office of Fred Voigtmann has experience guiding many foreign investors through the detailed process of obtaining their green cards through the EB-5 program.
Visa Program Requirements
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") administers the EB-5 visa program, so it is subject to federal laws and regulations.
If you wish to obtain your green card, or permanent residence, from the EB-5 program, you must meet or exceed specific requirements. These are primarily dependent on your level of financial investment in a new commercial enterprise ("NCE") and whether the NCE will create 10 jobs per investor for qualified U.S. workers within two years.
According to the federal government, an NCE is defined as one of the following: the establishment of a new business (before November 1990), the expansion of an existing business, or the acquisition of an existing business whose reorganization or restructuring leads to a new commercial enterprise.
As a general rule, the minimum capital requirement you have to make is $1,000,000. You can create or expand a business anywhere in the United States at this investment level and potentially qualify for the EB-5 program.
Your investment can be as low as half of that, or $500,000, if you choose to open or restructure a commercial enterprise in a designated targeted employment area (TEA). These TEAs are either located in rural areas or urban areas where the average rate of unemployment exceeds the national average by 50% or more. You can prove that your business is in an urban TEA in one of two ways:
- Contact the state government and request a letter from an authorized department that specifies the area has a high unemployment rate.
- Collect your own evidence showing your business's location has an excessive unemployment rate. In this case, you can use statistics for your metropolitan statistical area, a specific county within that metropolitan statistical area, or the county if it is home to a city or town with a population of 20,000 or greater.
In addition to providing substantial financial backing in a new commercial enterprise, job creation also matters.
Any investment you make in a commercial enterprise must result in at least 10 new full-time positions for qualified American workers. The only exception to this is if you invest in a troubled business and help it retain the same number of employees (at least 10) it had when you acquired it.
Permanent Residence Status
Once you have satisfied the EB-5 program's criteria for investment level and job creation and documented them correctly, you could be given a conditional permanent residence status for two years. After this period, you, your spouse, and qualified children may receive a permanent green card. If you wish to become a citizen of the United States, you are eligible to apply five years after you originally obtained your conditional permanent residence.

Fred Voightmann and his team did a fantastic job on my case, first with a green card, then got me full citizenship. I could not recommend more. Super professional, and exceeded all expectations. I could not be happier.
We Came as a Refferal in regards to a case for a family member . We are very please with how informative and honest Fred is .
Will defiantly recommend him with investment naturalization claims .
Fred helped me with the process of receiving my green card. Working with Fred and his professional team was easy and stress-free. They answered all my questions, put together necessary forms and even found a translation agency for all the documents, needed for the process. Without Fred's help and guidance I would never be able to figure it out by myself.

This week, I received my I-829 approval and my 10-year Green Card from my EB-5 Investment.
I feel very fortunate to have been working with the Law Office of Fred Voigtmann and partnership with American Life Inc, when so many other aspiring Visa and Green card applicants have entered into less successful arrangements. With the help of my immigration attorney Mr. Voigtmann, I was able to chose the right regional center, which in the end I became a Permanent Resident of the United States.

How many times have you started a DJ set with everything under control and sounding great like this:
Only to end up mangled beyond recognition and finishing up like this:
Just me? You try warming up the crowds at Ibiza Rocks some time then.
The topless goon pictured is one Alexander Robotnick, AKA Maurizio Dami, a guy that's been creating Italo-disco since Heartbreak were still sucking on teats. Since the early '80s he's jumped from decks to synths and back again, morphing from DJ to producer in a variety of groups.
This latest single (out on This Is Music now) is both a half-ironic tribute to vinyl obsessives across the globe and an electro cut set to become the very type of sought-after plastic he's gently lampooning.
Remixes come from Trash's Rory Phillips, HeavyFeet and in this case David Caretta.

It sounds like the email may have thought the notice was spam and blocked the links so please double-check that and move it to your Inbox along with allowing Images and Links to be displayed in the email notification for it. If there is still an issue all that the person who you are trying to share it with needs to do is go to JotForm.com and simply create an account since it will work this way too as it just associates a shared form with the email of the account you actually share the form with.
To view your Shared Forms on a Sub-Account you can do so by going to " My Forms " then on the left hand side under the My Forms Heading and Menu you'll see an option displayed labeled " Shared With You ", click on that and this is where you will see a form that has shared access with a subaccount.

Quik Stage offers a unique and affordable portable staging system that was specifically designed for the church, school, government, DJ, rental, institutional or any other market or application that utilizes portable stages. Manufactured in our Blaine, MN factory, you are buying factory direct with no dealer markups plus we usually have units in-stock, ready to ship. Buy factory direct and SAVE!

HOW ARE THEY MADE?: Quik Stage portable stage decks are constructed from an all-aluminum extruded frame that has been machined to exact specifications on computerized CNC machines so every piece is exact. Each 4 x 8 stage comes standard with 6 coffin locks built into the frame for quick connecting of multiple stages to one another and uses no pins or loose parts for connecting. 4 x 4 or smaller stage decks have 4 coffin locks. Stage frame extrusions are bolted together using no welds, so they are easily repairable if ever damaged. Because our stages can use any height leg, legs are sold separately for your desired height and each 4 x 8 stage uses a set of 6 legs. Smaller stages such as 4 x 4 and smaller use only 4 legs. We even indented a ¾" strip of hook Velcro into the frame so that you can attach stage skirting with ease and no skirting clips are required. Quik Stage Portable Stages are strong, easy to set-up, lightweight to carry, have a professional appearance and best of all, are factory direct affordable. And we can ship quick!

We do however, recommend that you try and use as many 8 ft. long stages as possible for your best value if your application calls for multiple stages. You can easily connect a 4 x 8 with a 4 x 4 or a 4 x 6 if all 4 x 8's will not fit your application. Call or e-mail Quik Stage if you need assistance figuring out your exact needs.

- Carbon Color Carpet: Grey/Black carpet color combination called Carbon. Good quality carpet that is durable, works well with lighting and does not show dirt easily.
- Weather Resistant: Same exact surface as the quad ripple except the bottom of the stage panel has a layer of smooth polyvinyl on it so it doubles sided polyvinyl. We then seal the plywood edges with a primer sealer and a liquid rubber for added protection against the elements and along with the aluminum frame, it makes it weather resistant, not waterproof, but it holds up well.
- Plexiglas: Available in 4 x 4 and smaller sizes only. We do not offer this in larger sizes as it is just too heavy. Perfect surface for use with up-lighting for added effects.
STAGE ACCESSORIES: To compliment any stage, you need stage accessories, We stock stairs, legs, adjustable legs, stage skirting, storage carts, guardrails, chairs stops and more.

The Company is reacting to the weaker-than-anticipated demand environment with a further reduction of manufacturing activity and reduced sourcing from third-party suppliers, compared to planned activities when entering the quarter. Primarily as a result of higher-than-anticipated unused capacity charges in the quarter, the gross margin expected for the fourth quarter 2008 is now about 38% plus or minus one percentage point.
Additionally, the Company continues to aggressively implement cost-control initiatives and is progressing in its accelerated effort to capture the cost synergies from the recent creation of ST-NXP Wireless.
This outlook is based on an assumed effective currency exchange rate of approximately $1.40 = euro 1.00 for the 2008 fourth quarter, which reflects current exchange rate levels combined with the impact of existing hedging contracts. Additionally, as per the prior outlook for Q4 2008 released on October 28, 2008, this outlook includes the results of the ST-NXP Wireless joint venture - which began operations on August 2, 2008 - for the full quarter, but excludes an estimated $30 million cost in the fourth quarter 2008 due to inventory step-up purchase accounting adjustments related to the former NXP Wireless business.
Some of the statements contained in this release that are not historical facts are statements of future expectations and other forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended) based on management's current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those in such statements due to, among other factors:
-- further deterioration on the worldwide financial markets, economic recession in one or more of the world's major economies and the effect on demand for semiconductors
Additional factors are mentioned in our press release of October 28th, 2008.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this release as anticipated, believed or expected. We do not intend, and do not assume any obligation, to update any information or forward-looking statements set forth in this release to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
Unfavorable changes in the above or other factors listed under "Risk Factors" from time to time in our SEC filings, including our Form 20-F, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

In our hundreds of interviews with America's elders, one particular lesson usually emerged: the need for compassion toward other people. The word "compassion" had the original meaning in Latin of "suffering with" someone else. The elders told me that as they reached old age, they learned how important it is to empahtize with other people, to understand their perspectives, and to see them as fellow travelers along life's difficult road. And they learned this lesson from an array of challenging, tragic, and uplifiting life experiences.
Legacy Project elders Jules and Marilyn offer their lessons about living a compassionate life.

March, 2015
March 2015—Several web projects that began in the fourth quarter of last year came to fruition this month and last with the launch of new sites. One of these sites is Four Seasons Greenery, a Boston area supplier of office plants, decorative containers, flowers and related services. Fittingly for a site like this, we included one of the largest selections of photographs we've ever featured on a site, all organized into interactive photo galleries found on most inside pages. Here is one example: Weddings and Special Events.
Another big project for us was adding an e-commerce "storefront" to the McNulty and Associates website we launched last year. McNulty provides a unique service primarily for contractors and subcontractors bidding on major U.S. government contracts. Think of it as an important form of competitive research if you want to win a multi-million dollar deal. Over the last few years, the company has built up an inventory of over 400 of these reports, many of which can be repurposed by multiple clients. To help their customers save time and money on these ready-to-go reports, you can now buy them online using the store that Radar designed and built. It's a nice new revenue stream for the company, and one we are told is growing very fast.
Not just anyone can buy from the new store, you have to qualify first. But you can see thelogin gateway here.

Team Massy United showcased their dominance taking five of the top six places in the National Road Race. The winner, who was presented with the National jersey, was Jacob Kelly, while second was Jamol Eastmond, third was Joshua Kelly and (from left) was sixth place Dominic Howard, Phillip Clarke and Gregory Vanderpool with presenter Mona Alleyne from the National Sports Council.
Jacob Kelly is National Road Race Champion
JACOB KELLY is the 2018 Barbados National Road Race Champion after a perfectly set up race to earn what turned out to be a comfortable victory over the 120km yesterday.
Riding the St. Philip course, which took them over the grueling Stewart's Hill nine times on the 13.3km loop, Jacob won in three hours 21 minutes 44.090 secs.
Jacob, riding for Massy United Insurance, finished second behind his brother Joshua Kelly the day before in the time trial by less than a second and it was these two, plus Jumbo's Golden Wheelers Jamol Eastmond, that were off the front of the pack with three laps to go.
It might have been four riders, but an untimely and unfortunately flat tyre stalled Gregory Vanderpool's (Massy United Insurance ) effort. Vanderpool was off the front by a few seconds but, just as Jacob put the hammer down to attack Eastmond during the climb, Vanderpool picked up a flat and was blown past and never caught back up to the leaders.
Eastmond had been up against the formidable team Massy riders for the most of the race, and they tried their best to blow him off the back. In the group were Philip Clarke and Vanderpool, who mounted attacks. Eastmond had one team mate in Edwin Sunderland as they tried to cover the attacks.
When Sunderland gave his last and dropped off it was only Eastmond against the Massy riders. Eastmond looked good going through the climb and with less than two laps to go he fired an attack of his own.
Pulling away from Joshua, the attack was covered by Jacob and these two were about 30 seconds ahead of Joshua as they passed the start/finish line for the bell.
Eastmond hit them while they, Joshua and Jacob, were feeding and Jacob said he panicked at first but then went into his zone and caught back Eastmond when he hit the wind.
However Eastmond started to get a cramp on the final climb and Joshua, who had caught them up before that and paced at the front for most of the lap, signalled to his brother Jacob that it was time to go, which he did to leave Eastmond, who recovered by the top of the climb to battle for second.
"When Jacob made the move I paced majority of the last lap and when I realised Jamol had fallen off I said 'Right now you have to finish it, I don't have anything else' and he saved the legs superb and he finished the job."
Eastmond, who is better known for his track cycling, easily won the sprint battle to finish second as Joshua finished with a smile on his face in third place.
Vanderpool's flat saw him settling for fourth place a further five minutes behind, while Clarke was fifth.
Jacob said afterwards that it was an amazing race and thanked everyone for their effort. He said it was an amazing race for Eastmond riding alone on a really hard course as the wind was high.
Joshua Kelly put himself on the line to secure a victory for his team: "From the beginning of the race my team helped out but then everyone started to suffer come lap three and lap four so I said 'You know what, if someone has to pace I would sacrifice myself because I got the result I wanted yesterday'."
Joshua added that he "just told Jacob all the time to 'relax, stay at the back, stay at the back' and I kept the break away going because someone had to and then in the end our competition just exploded and I gave Jacob everything and told Jacob finish it."
Joshua mentioned that, "Obviously to get the double is a great achievement but I am still young in my career and today someone had to sacrifice themselves and I feel like I accomplished a big goal in taking up that responsibility."
In the Masters Over 50 who rode 65km Wayne Edwards completed the double winning by almost 10 minutes from second place Gregory Downie and third place Reginald Jones.
Dominic Howard who finished sixth overall and winner of his category.
In the Juniors Kyle Gill won over the 90km distance, while Category 4 was won by Malavi Velloza and second was Wingrove Thomas.
The Masters 45-49 was won by Junior Proverbs, second was Rene Lashley and third was Miguel Skinner.

We encounter many troubles and face strife as we move through our life journey. From time to time, we try for a fresh start. However, sometimes when we try to begin again we feel empty and unsatisfied. Forgiveness, or lack thereof, can be keeping you from moving on. That means it's time to face your past and see if there are some wrongs that needed to be righted. Once you have done this, it is time for you to forgive.
Forgiveness means you have to let go of the actions and the pain associated with your past. If you can't bring yourself to do this, ask, "Why?" This can be a first step towards self discovery that can lead to a happy spirit.
Healing is Cathartic and a Release
When you go through the act of forgiveness, you lift a spiritual weight off of your shoulders. This will lead to a lighter heart and spirit as you let go of anger for giving in to bad influences and perceived injustice. The negativity you hold on to is an anchor that holds on to you as strongly as you hold on to it. Healing can be hard and if you can't meet with the person with whom you are angry, simply write down your feelings towards this person and let go of the negativity.
Invest in Forgiveness.
If you wish to receive good things in life, you must give forgive now. This release will pay off by helping you transform and transcend. Forgiveness will pay off in spiritual purification. Forgiveness changes the way you look at the world. As you forgive, you start to free yourself from bias and begin to walk in someone else's shoes. You will feel better as you start to see the humanness in others.
Let Karma do the Work.
Possibly the best reason to forgive is that by leaving justice in the hands of God and the power of attraction will not only free you spiritually, but help console you on your life journey. This will remind you that what you present to the universe will return.

The addition of a highway bar can bring you many benefits making it one of the best investments you can make for your bike. K and G Cycles (www.kandgcycles.com) can help you select the right one for your application and have you installing it in no time.
Unlike their counterparts from Milwaukee, Metric Highway Bars are often brand and model specific. None the less, they still deliver good looks, form, and function. Lets take a look at just what the do offer.
Good Looks – Just about every Highway Bar available today comes in a beautiful chrome finish. Since most of us enjoy adding pieces of chrome to our bikes this is always a good option. However there are those individuals that are looking to de-chrome and Black out their bike. Black versions of accessories are becoming more and more available each day. Regardless of your color choice, a Highway Bar is a good looking accessory that can be added to almost any bike to add to it's image.
Function – You ask how a Highway Bar functions, well it does so in different ways. Offering a modest amount of protection, Highway Bars (often called Crash Bars) can keep a large portion of the painted parts off the ground in the event the motorcycle goes over. Extending outward from the front of the frame and usually past the point of other parts of the motorcycle, these bars/guards usually prevent contact between the bike and the ground. It's almost like you are buying an insurance policy when you purchase one.
Function – Another great benefit of a Highway Bar installation is you get to add Highway Pegs to your bike. As we all know, Highway Pegs give you an additional resting place for your feet. The ability to stretch out or even change the position of your legs during a long trip can mean the difference of comfort or cramping. Nobody wants to be uncomfortable on their commute to work or on their vacation down the Blue Ridge.
Bonus – Adding Highway bars can actually give you more riding days per year. "How?" you ask? Well once you have your new Highway bar installed, you can now mount a pair of Pac-A-Derms or Desert Dawgs (commonly known as soft lower fairings). The main purpose of soft lowers is to keep the cold and rain off your feet. How many times have you been out for that Spring or Fall ride and the temps suddenly drop or a shower pops up? That can ruin the day. Now imagine if you had that Highway Bar installed giving you the opportunity to install a set of soft lowers to keep your feet and lower legs warm and dry.
The addition of Highway Bars to your motorcycle can offer many benefits aimed at making your time on the road more enjoyable. K and G Cycles (www.kandgcycles.com) has Highway Bars to fit a wide range of bikes so your chance to enhance your comfort and protection is right in front of you. Contact us today before the new season is underway.

When Asia formed in the early 80's, they were looked upon as a supergroup, rightfully so. John Wetton (bass, lead vocals – King Crimson, Uriah Heep), Steve Howe (guitars – Yes), Geoff Downes (keyboards – Yes, The Buggles) and Carl Palmer (drums – Emerson Lake & Palmer) scored a multi million seller with their self titled debut from 1982 and the mega hit "Heat Of The Moment", but after the way more commercial and poppy Alpha (1983) failed to match guitar player Steve Howe's musical expectations, he found it best to leave the band an concentrate on his new (and to be short-lived) project GTR with ex – Genesis guitar player Steve Hackett. After that Asia became an unemployment agency for musicians, with multiple line up changes with every album. The fact the original members weren't the best of friends – in the end only Geoff Downes was an original member of the band – made it a bit of an eyebrow raiser when the band decided to reunite in 2008 and released a surprisingly good reunion album in Phoenix. What was even more surprising was that the original line up stayed together for five years and three albums – Omega (2010) and XXX (2012) – before Howe once again decided to leave and concentrate on Yes. But this time there was no bad blood involved. The band recruited young Sam Coulson, born in 1987 and half the age of the rest of the members, as Howe's replacement and now it's time for Coulson to debut as Asia's new member on record. I was curious of if Coulson had made a change in the sound for the band or if he would just be a hired hand, playing what he's told.
I saw the band play at Sweden Rock Festival last year and to be honest, the kid sounded great but he looked a bit misplaced – the young kid and the three grandpa's, but sound wise there wasn't much changed. Maybe a bit heavier, but I'm not sure that had anything to do with Coulson's involvement. "Valkyries" that opens the album is a winner, sounds like classic Asia, only a little more on the progressive pop side. Ironically enough, that's probably the way Steve Howe would have liked things to sound. The title track is great and has all the ingredients of a classic Asia tune, "The Closer I Get" is a great ballad with a big chorus, "Nyctophobia" is very good AOR / pop, Asia style and "Heaven Help Me Now" has a really catchy melody, but it's also progressive. "I Would Die For You" might not be the usual sounding Asia, but it is a big AOR rocker and it will probably go down well live and the same can be said of "Til We Meet Again", a straight forward AOR tune that has more in common with a band like FM, than Asia. That said, it is a brilliant track. On the minus side we have "Russian Dolls", a song that maybe could have evolved into something cool, but the way it's presented here, it just goes nowhere.
Ironically enough, Asia has with Gravitas made their strongest album since the reunion, without Howe in the band, but my guess it's just by coincidence as the all the songs are written by John Wetton and Geoff Downes, which has more or less been the case since the original band reunited. Fact is, this was the case in the beginning as well. As for young Coulson, he does what he's been hired for – to play guitar and make sure he doesn't change the sound of the band. Coulson might not be no Steve Howe, but he is a very good player and he makes sure that this sounds like Asia. My guess is that if you're into Asia, you'll like this as the songs are strong and the production is clean, smooth and commercial, just the way Asia has always sounded. Thumbs up!

Important Steps For Completing Commercial Office Fitouts When it comes to completing commercial office fitouts, not many of us would...
Important Steps For Completing Commercial Office Fitouts
When it comes to completing commercial office fitouts, not many of us would perhaps be aware that it could be completed in six primary and simple steps. There is no doubt that fitouts are difficult but if you follow the six steps mentioned below, you will be able to do a good job out of it.
1. Understand The Whole ThingYou must be sure that the professionals who you choose have a good understanding of the needs from the primary stage. This will avoid lot of misunderstanding and things will not be problematic as they move along. Understanding is about having clear knowledge about the time frame, the cost involved, and the actual design approval.
2. Review The SiteOnce the understanding is clear in all respects, the next job is to ensure that the fitout company visits the office space. It could be the current space which needs to be modified or a new office space. The objective is to try and find out that whether the available space will meet the planned objectives. It also will give a chance to find out more about council requirements, access arrangements and other such things which are important. The professionals will try and integrate the same with the overall budget and designs.
The design team has an important role to play. They usually consist of decorators, designers and some time architects. They will come out with plans for your office space. As customer, you will be kept informed about the plans and they will freeze the plans only after you okay the design choices. Changes can be made before it is frozen.
4. BudgetWhile budgets will be talked about at every stage, the final figure will be arrived at once the designs have been given final shape and approval is taken from customers. The cost sheet will be quite exhaustive and will have a breakup of cost of each and every item including fixtures and trade costs. Any changes made to the plan after finalization of the cost, will usually be billed separately.
5. Construction Though it might sound a bit surprising, if the above three steps are perfectly done, construction should be the fastest phrase as far as 6 primary steps of completing commercial office fitouts are concerned. This is because all loose ends the grey areas would have been sorted out and no major changes would be required for the design. A project manager will be taking control of the progress of the construction. You will be requested to visit the site when each stage of construction has been completed.
Once the construction has been completed, the professionals will ensure that your office is perfectly cleaned and made ready for you to move on. Many fitout companies may also offer services for relocation and this certainly will be helpful in more ways than one.
The above steps we are sure will give a broad area as far as commercial fitout services are concerned from start to end.

Austin Engineering have won another major mining maintenance contract in Chile.
This contract is the third in as many months, following the award of a three year repair and maintenance contract at Codelco's Ministro Hales mine, and another with Codelco for a five year provision of heavy equipment lifting and support services at its Gabriela Mistral (Gaby) mine.
This new four year contract will see Austin, through its Chilean subsidiary, provide the maintenance and repair of dump truck bodies, buckets, and ancillary equipment at the Gabriela mine.
The base value of the contract is worth approximately $5 million in the first three years, and $2.3 million in the fourth, however the eventual value could be higher depending upon the extent of repairs and maintenance.
Austin managing director Michael Buckland said "this new contract follows the two contracts fro the Calama region (of Chile) announced in August 2013 and brings the total base value of these contract awards to more than USD $30 million".
"The equipment will be repaired and maintained onsite with the larger repairs being transported to our Calama workshop facility," he added.
Buckland went on to state that the company expects to announce further contracts in the next three months.

Features That Make Chiropractic Management Software Great
For any chiropractor, it is of paramount importance to have effective chiropractic management software. The software is required for patient claim processing and taking care of patients' administrative records. Conducting a thorough research when looking for the perfect software for your practice as a chiropractor will help you identify one that not only meets the requirements of your practice but your specific needs as well. You will find it easy and efficient in delivering your services when using a specialized software that is tailor-made for your work. Software that would do this best are those with effective and outstanding features that are going to be mentioned below.
Most important, as is for almost any software, user-friendliness is critical. After all, the intention of any computer software is to make work simpler. Ease of use has to come first with this in mind. This will save a lot of time regarding training the staff members expected to interact with the software. Simplicity would also guarantee that the input and output of information is increasing the chiropractor's productivity. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Simple sharing of files and information is another feature that any chiropractor program should have. Ease of file sharing allows for simple sharing of information with the insurance company or doctors, who form a great basis for information. It is important as very detailed information can be relayed within a short time thus improving service delivery to the patient. The detailed information comes in prescriptions, insurance claims, billing services and the form charts. With this feature, note comparison is going to be rendered translating to service to the patients.
Solutions – Getting Started & Next Steps
It is paramount for any management software to allow customization. For example, if you own a touch screen device, the software should be able to adapt to this. As a user, you should also be able to modify a few items to meet your needs. The manufacturer cannot be able to satisfy each user's needs. Why this feature is critical that is. Different also countries use different units of various aspects. Integrating this is also vital for effectiveness.
The Best Advice About Options I've Ever Written
There is a possibility of data loss due to accidents or deliberate attacks regarding the use of computer software. It is, therefore, important that the management software has a backup feature. Further, the backup can be cloud-based given the increasing popularity and adoption of cloud computing. Losing crucial details like patient information can be a real headache. To avoid this regular backup is important. This can be automated to work at a specific frequency or as long as the software is in operation. Provided a management software for chiropractors meet the features discussed, then it is good enough and will work effectively.

Food Truck Facts
By Angela Blue
Stuft--Not Your Average Street Foods, one of the many great food trucks in Coastal Virginia
Thinking of having a food truck at your wedding reception? More than just a trendy idea, food trucks are a great way to allow guests the chance for an interactive meal experience while giving them plenty of tasty options. But just like booking any vendor for your wedding, there are some important things to consider before choosing a food truck for your wedding. Here are some tips:
- Before booking your food truck, you must first get permission from your wedding venue to make sure they permit food trucks on the premises. Some venues may approve couples to bring in a food truck for a late night snack menu even if they don't allow them to cater the reception.
- Food trucks can be extremely busy, depending on the season. Be sure to book your truck far in advance.
- Make sure your mobile vendor has had experience serving large crowds. The last thing you want is for the truck to unexpectedly run out of food.
- Meet with your food truck owner in person to go over important details rather than handling everything over the phone.
- Be honest when discussing budget. Most food truck owners are willing to work with couples in creating a menu that suits their tastes and financial needs.
- Go over specific details with your food truck owner and make sure it's understood where they'll be pulling up.
- Food trucks aren't just for outdoor receptions. Plenty of couples arrange for their guests to go outside to grab their preferred meal from the truck, then come back in to eat.
- To alleviate long lines, have tables go to the food truck one at a time, just like you would if you were offering a buffet.
- Even if you decide against having a food truck at your reception, there's still the option of booking them for the bridal shower, rehearsal dinner or even to feed out-of-town guests staying at a beach house—no shopping, no prepping and no dishes.

There Are Many Ways To Look At And Interpret Most Books
With Multiple Critical Perspectives, your students will look at the same book through three different critical viewpoints.
For example, evaluating a book from a Feminist perspective would give you a different interpretation than looking at the same book from a Marxist point of view.
The viewpoints chosen for each work depend on what the work best lends itself to, but some of the common views used in this series are:
- Feminist theory
- Marxist theory
- New Historicism
- Formalism
- Mythological/Archetypal
- Psychoanalytic theory
Each Multiple Critical Perspectives guide is divided into four parts: a general introduction to the work and then one section for each of the critical lenses being applied to that work.
Each critical section includes:
- Notes about that approach
- Essential questions
- Three activities
- Discussion questions
- Essays or writing assignments
We currently have MCP guides for these titles and will be adding more in the next couple of weeks:

Selfridge unveils 'gold standard' border protection facility
By Chad Selweski
Macomb & Royal Oaks Daily Tribune
Elected and federal officials, law enforcement authorities and local dignitaries gathered at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Harrison Township on Thursday to hail the official opening of a $30 million Department of Homeland Security center – the "gold standard" for border protection.
The high-tech facility allows Customs and Border Protection agents to work side-by-side with the FBI, Coast Guard and state and local law enforcement officials to keep tabs on U.S.-Canadian border activity, relying in part on 11 surveillance cameras installed on towers along the St. Clair River from Port Huron to Gull Island.
"The Operational Integration Center is a collaborative center where we do real-time operations," said OIC director James Wainer, a veteran Border Patrol officer.
The Border Patrol analyzes a huge bank of monitors and other intelligence data while working in collaboration with the Michigan State Police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Local law enforcement, such as officers from sheriffs and police departments, will also use the OIC on an as-needed basis.
The center will target drug smuggling and human trafficking across the border. Illegal crossings related to terrorist activity are also a major concern, as the Department of Homeland Security recently concluded that the 4,000-mile northern border – the largest shared border in the world — presents a greater terrorism threat than the southern border with Mexico.
U.S. Rep. Candice Miller, a Harrison Township Republican, had pushed for the border security center for years, arguing that Selfridge represented an ideal Great Lakes location for the Department of Homeland Security.
Miller noted that the waterfront base is situated near the two busiest U.S.-Canadian border crossings – the Detroit Ambassador Bridge and the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron – as well as the busiest railroad crossing on the northern border. What's more, the base is viewed as a model of collaboration, housing personnel from all four branches of the military service, the Coast Guard and Homeland Security.
"Team Selfridge is not just a slogan. It is a culture. It is a reality," said Miller, chair of the House Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security.
Thursday's ceremonies came just weeks after a federal report found that the U.S.-Canadian border security system is riddled with holes and plagued by a lack of coordination among various law enforcement agencies.
The General Accountability Office concluded that in 2010 only 32 miles of the overall northern border – or less than 1 percent – had reached "an acceptable level of security." That level means that all illegal border crossings were detected and an arrest was made.
U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the U.S. intelligence community has focused on connecting the dots ever since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. But "we've got a lot of dots," the senator said.
Levin predicted the OIC, a pilot project, will become the model, the "gold standard," for collaborative, multi-agency intelligence collection and border protection.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony, coming about six weeks after the center gradually became operational, was filled with pomp and circumstance.
The event was held in a large, special-occasions tent lit with chandeliers. The ceremony began with color guard that was led by a bagpiper. Local recording artist Karen Newman sang the Canadian and American national anthems.
The overflow crowd included top-ranking officials from the CBP, Coast Guard and National Guard; Selfridge base commander Gen. Michael Peplinski; numerous CBP and military personnel; local law enforcement officials; elected officials; and other dignitaries.
Gov. Rick Snyder and many of the officials on hand took a tour of the state-of-the-art facility prior to the grand opening ceremony.
"As someone who ran for governor as a self-described nerd, this is a fascinating place to be," said Snyder, drawing chuckles from the audience. "The … technology is fabulous. But the real key to success is the people involved."
The 9,000-square-foot intelligence center, located at the south end of the base, is housed in a decades-old cinder block Department of Defense building that might have been headed toward demolition.
Instead, the interior was gutted and rebuilt to hold up to 100 workers at a time and a variety of advanced equipment, including the monitors that simultaneously offer various views of border crossings and the St. Clair River, a key surveillance area because a high-speed boat ride from Canada can take just minutes.
The OIC video and data collected on suspected illegal border crossings will be shared with officials in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. In addition to the network of cameras on the river, the center will have access to real-time video shot by unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, and helicopters deployed by Customs and Border Protection and the Michigan State Police.
In addition, Selfridge is home to CBP's Great Lakes Air and Marine branch, which became operational in August 2008. This branch, which deploys aircraft and a variety of high-speed watercraft, was the last of five planned new air and marine facilities that make up the Northern Border Air Wing, as mandated by Congress after the terrorist attacks of September 11.

In a landmark advancement in the medical field in Odisha, The Kaling Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) has done the first case of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). This state of the art procedure was done at KIMS by Cardiologist Dr. Anupam Jena and his team. The patient was discharged after 3 days.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive procedure that repairs the Aortic valve without removing the old, damaged valve. Instead, it wedges a replacement valve into the aortic valve's place. Somewhat similar to a stent placed in an artery, the TAVR approach delivers a fully collapsible replacement valve to the valve site through a catheter. Once the new valve is expanded, it pushes the old valve leaflets out of the way and the tissue in the replacement valve takes over the job of regulating blood flow. This procedure is fairly new and is FDA approved for people with symptomatic aortic stenosis who are considered an intermediate or high risk patient for standard valve replacement surgery. Usually valve replacement requires an open heart procedure with a "sternotomy.", in which the chest is surgically separated (open) for the procedure. The TAVR or TAVI procedures can be done through very small puncture in the femoral arteries at the groin leaving all the chest bones in place. A TAVR procedure provides beneficial treatment options to people who may not have been candidates for them a few years ago while also providing the added bonus of a faster recovery in most cases. A patient's experience with a TAVR procedure may be comparable to a balloon treatment or even an angiogram in terms of downtime and recovery, and will likely require a shorter hospital stay (average 3-5 days).
