Almost 250,000 immigrants applied for naturalization between October 2015 and January 2016 in the US.
The number of legal, permanent residents in the United States who applied for citizenship between October and January has reached a high point in the past four years, a new report from the Pew Research Center revealed on Friday.
"So far this fiscal year — from October 2015 to January 2016 — 249,609 immigrants have applied for naturalization, a 13 percent increase over the same time period a year before," the report said.
The report also noted that this election cycle, several groups have launched efforts to increase the number of naturalized immigrants, including the White House.
The report stated that while some organizers think the increase in a reaction to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, an analysis of the data showed "there have been much larger percentage increases in past years, with jumps not always coming during election years."
Trump took a strong stance on immigration as soon as he entered the presidential campaign with plans to deport illegal immigrants living in the United States and build a wall on the border with Mexico to stop their flow.

Changing It Up
Always one to be spotted in anarkalis mostly, Raveena changed it up by donning a sari (Anita Dongre Timeless?) to Sameer Soni/Neelam's wedding. It was nice to see her go a step further with the Gujarati style drape but the sari was so heavy, it didn't quite sit right.

MAI in Malaysia: Education Fair in March 2018
The MAI international team, together with Malaysian partner TMC College and MEDIC ED CONSULTANT SDN BHD, met with potential students and their parents during the FACON Education Fair and Education & Further Studies Fair in cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Alor Setar and Penang.
During the fairs, MAI representatives have met with many students who showed their interest in joining one of the MAI programs for international students. Jointly with TMC College, MAI has developed a program designed specifically for Malaysian students: Foundation + Undergraduate. During the first 6 months from April to September 2018, the students will cover the Foundation program at TMC College in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which will prepare them for their further studies at the MAI 4-year Undergraduate program in Moscow, Russia starting from October 1, 2018.
Russian engineering education has gained large popularity in Malaysia, and 208 Malaysian MAI graduates are a great testament to that.
Malaysian students who wish to join the program are invited to send their applications to the MAI Admissions Office: email@example.com.

View of newly opened up bank on Wierend Fishery. Click photo for a better image.
Roll on the 3rd of March, just 7 weeks to go to the 2019 Salmon season and the Club have been working hard to improve the fishery and make it easier for members to access. Years of neglect have made many parts of the Wye inaccessible for anglers when with the removal of branches and boughs on the ubiquitous willow and alder make it a much more angler friendly river but the Ross Club have been coppicing trees to make our fishery more accessible not only for salmon anglers but coarse anglers also benefit. The trees are resilient and the process will no doubt be required again in a few years time.
So member will have 3 new catches to fish with good water at just one rod length into potential salmon holding water of 5ft to 6ft deep. Anglers will be shown the new catches on Fishery Tour days. The Club has opened up about 150 metres of bank over winter on the Weirend stretch with more work to be done.
The Club currently has a waiting list for prospective members with local anglers getting preferential access but don't let that stop you putting your name on the waiting list. See the form on the Membership page.

I wonder if the word Asatru has fallen out of popularity because…
…Because some right wing Neo-Nazi has parked the name in Europe. If so, that's a weak reason. Not one individual should be so dictating about what the rest of us do. But…I also wonder if the term Asatru has fallen out of favour because so many kindreds who used the term then busted up, as kindreds seem to do alot in North America, and people soured on the word. Is Asatru, the word more popular in Europe than North America? What do European Asatru call themselves.
Is there a better term than Asatru (which acknowledges the Aesir but not the Vanir) and also the too-generic word "Heathen."

Asatruar or Heathen
what exactly is the deal, I like being called an Asatruar or Asaman, but you all like Heathen, I am unsure of the word, and don't hate me for this, but I had thought the Kristjans used the word heathen as a way to insult us, or is it really what we call ourselves?

Just need some clarity, some say today is Midsummer and others say it is tomorrow. I would like to some clarification on this. Gonna perform a nice blot for our good friend Baldr when i figure it out. If no one really knows the plan was to do it tomorrow anyway. Aside from which day it is, we are close enough, so everyone have a great Midsummer, I know I shall try.

A Nugget
Those who would choose atheism over faith have to realise: Atheism IS a faith. A belief that there are no Gods. It is very much as dogmatic as fundamentalist religion and thus subject to the opinions of people trying to make sense of their world.
I have been an atheist and I choose faith over atheism because I believe there are Gods and we have souls that live on after our bodies have passed into history.
But this is my belief. What is yours?

Has anyone heard of the term Asagnostic?
I don't know because as far as I know I just made it up. But in the spirit of the phrase "if you see Buddha on the road, kill him" I would rather err on the side of supreme skepticism than fundamentalism.
I have seen a lot of watering down of a lot of Heathen groups lately. Many of the multitrad variety are coming in and arguing for some of the really flakier "crystals, candles and incense, oh my" variety.
But not just that but people coming onto Heathen sites and arguing for hailing Jesus and Moses as well as Thor and Odin at a sumbel. I almost became bald from pulling my hair out on that one.
And everytime I point that out that we're losing sight of heathens for our Northern Gods and our Gods only, I get shouted down or ignored. What's the point of even having a religion at all if we don't put our pantheon first? We might as well become Universalist Unitarians.
I knew it was getting bad when Asatru was becoming a bad word, when the 9 virtues were ejected. What do we have to build on if our blocks are taken away?
I believe in the Gods. I am not sure about the religion. I'd rather keep my brain.
The reason I talk to myself is that I'm the only one whose answers
I accept.

Anonymous Versus Cults
The children may or may not be returned to the Mormon Sect. All is hinging on whether or not the children were abused sexually and under age girls being forced into motherhood.
And of course the patently illegal act of polygamy. This is a large part of the dispute. Also at issue is free will.
Free will is the one thing that is missing from cults.
is waging war on Scientology because of the cult status of that religion. The money flows only one way—into the coffers of the church. Which then issues
SLAPPs (Strategic Litigation Against Public Participants)
or bully suits against those who dissent.
is attacking the bully suits by flooding YouTube with Tom Cruise having his mental meltdowns, Scientology lectures (which always focus on what services you can buy) and message boards with some of actual quotes by L. Ron Hubbard:
you don't get rich writing science fiction, if you want to make a million bucks, start a religion.
Anonymous is taking a stand and fighting Scientology with its own weapons. Bankrupt former members are coming forward in droves, for every website that Scientology succeeds in taking down, another one pops up.
People are now suing the cult. Telling their stories. Exposure is Scientology's worst enemy.
Heathenry is about the polar opposite from being a cult. Free Will is rampant! People choose freely whether to join or not. There is a wide divergent of the kinds of people who join and people choose their own Gods to identify with.
"Worship" is a disputed term in Heathenry whereas in cults, worship is paramount, as is submission.
"Submission" is a dirty word in Heathenry.
People who disagree often form their own groups. It's an open door policy. People have the right to vote with their feet.
What holds Heathenry together.
What common values do we have?
What kinds of weapons do we have at our disposal if the government notices us?
Would you consider yourself a Libertarian?

Religious Freedom in America: oxymoron?
The American attitude towards religious freedom, lately, has been on shaky grounds. The whole 1993 Waco fiasco, the government lying about setting the compound on fire and needlessly killing the residents.
Does anybody remember how David Koresh, the group's leader used to go jogging every day and regularly reported to the police department. Yes, he was a nutjob, but their pretext of raiding the compound on a weapon's charge turned out to be a boondoggle.
Now once again the government has raided another Texas compound, a fundamentalist Mormon group, and taken all the children away after receiving an anonymous child abuse tip that the government has failed to back up.
There are two strikes against them: some of the mothers are underage and bigamy is against the law.
But, do you think the government goes too far in raiding religious groups and breaking them apart? All the children are being put in foster homes and the mothers are distraught. Was that fair?
What do you think they can do to us? Do you think there is any reason why the government would target Heathenry and what would be the "charges?"

Arts OutWest | Bathurst-based playwrights awarded Writing NSW Grant12.02.2019
A Bathurst-based performance writing collective has been awarded Writing NSW's 2019 Emerging Writers Organisation Grant.
Live Words received $5,000 to enhance the performance culture and theatre community of Central Western NSW through writing weekends, expert workshops and public readings of their work in 2019.
The group comprises of ten members from Bathurst, Rylstone, Cessnock (ex Mudgee) and Dubbo, and includes emerging playwrights to those with a strong resume of produced works, including professional theatre makers. They will outline their current writing projects at an official Live Words launch at 6pm on Wednesday 13 February in the Wattle Foyer at Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre.
Live Words was only formed last year, following the 2018 Central West Short Play Festival Residency through Local Stages at Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre, and after a public call out for writers.
Following initial success with professional and public readings of some of their works, as well as productions in the pipeline for others, in 2019 the group hopes to expand their activities even further, including developing one act dramas, comedies, theatre for children and experimental pieces; working with dramaturgs to fine tune the scripts and testing them at public readings.
On a larger scale, Live Words also aims to provide ongoing professional development, dramaturgy, public regions and other support to playwrights from the region.
Emerging Writing Organisation Grants are awarded by Writing NSW to support emerging writing organisations, groups and collectives across the state. The aim of the grants is to foster a vibrant, diverse and innovative writing culture in NSW.
Writing NSW grants are offered under a devolved funding program run by Writing NSW on behalf of the NSW Government and Create NSW.
"The judges were impressed by the quality and diversity of applications for the 2018 Writing NSW Grants," said Writing NSW CEO Jane McCredie. "Through their support for exciting new writers and projects, these grants are helping to build the vibrant literary culture of our state."
Live Words is also supported by Local Stages at BMEC who produce and support locally made performance.
For more information, contact Live Words coordinators Fiona Green (0403 971 157) or Mayanne Jaques (0405 457 381).

The examination of human chromosomes has been a part of the physician's laboratory armamentarium since the correct diploid number of human chromosomes was established and a method was developed for the in vitro growth of peripheral blood leukocytes to yield metaphase chromosomes. The discovery that on ultraviolet microscopy (UV), metaphase chromosomes stained with fluorochrome dyes displayed a characteristic pattern of bright and dull bands unique for a given pair of homologous chromosomes, was a major technological breakthrough in human cytogenetics; for the first time, every chromosome in the karyotype could be unequivocally identified. Although the short storage life of fluorochrome-stained chromosomes and the costs of UV microscopy have limited the usability of fluorescence banding, the introduction of one discriminating procedure quickly led to the development of an array of similar banding techniques for conventional microscopy that yield comparable information. Some of these technical procedures depend on enzyme and/or heat denaturation of the chromosomes, resulting in the characteristic banding patterns seen by the trypsin-Giemsa method, the 5M urea method, and the acid-saline-Giemsa technique. A typical human karyotype prepared from metaphase chromosomes treated with trypsin, stained with Giemsa, and photographed with brightfield photomicrographic techniques is shown in Figure 1. Careful examination of this karyotype reveals that each chromosome in the homologous pair has an array of dark and light bands identical with those of its homolog and that each homologous pair, autosomes number 1 to number 22, has a characteristic, easily identifiable banding pattern.

The insurance industry — indispensable, trillion-dollar juggernaut that it is — will only become more important with the passing of time. As population increases, climates shift, and markets change, insurance will transform from a necessity in the back of people's minds to a concern on the tips of their tongues. But before this happens, the insurance industry needs to experience a significant redevelopment or else it will grow narrower, more stagnant, and leave more people unprotected.
That's why we've started CrowdCoverage, a platform that delivers insurance to the people via an efficient and easy to use marketplace powered by smart contract technology. Check us out here.
Ours is a platform that allows customers to interface with insurance companies more easily and to purchase insurance at more competitive rates. By replacing expensive third-party arbitrators with autonomous publicly vetted algorithms, the Crowd Coverage platform allows for the insurance industry to become safer, cheaper, and more reliable for everyone.
To shape the future of the insurance industry and make it more equitable and fair for everyone, CrowdCoverage wants you to join our growing community. Help us deploy a platform that gives consumers exactly what they ask for, and the insurance that's right for them, their families, and their communities.
Investment: Common Stock and COVR Tokens
$1/share of Common Stock │When you invest you are betting the company's future equity value will exceed $10.3M.
COVR Tokens
The Offering includes 80 Tokens for every $1 invested. ($0.0125 / per Token)
This will increase to $0.02 in our public sale.
*All tokens will be delivered after the campaign is completed, and upon availability of the Tokens. See Offering Summary below for additional terms.
Description: Our Ethereum-based COVR tokens act as incentive-based fuels for the CrowdCoverage insurance ecosystem. Within the CrowdCoverage ecosystem, COVR tokens act as service validators, claims-management incentives, and anti-fraud devices. Primarily, COVR tokens operate much in the same manner as tokens in an arcade, or as service validators. That is to say, tokens must be used to "run" the CrowdCoverage platform. As such, tokens are included in the price of purchasing an insurance policy on the CrowdCoverage platform; this nominal fee serves multiple purposes.
Primarily, COVR token fees compensate for the gas used in the sending and receiving of tokens. A minimal amount is also retained by the company and used for maintenance of the platform itself.
Second, COVR tokens are used to incentivize the efforts of tribunal members. Tribunal members consist of users trained by the CrowdCoverage team according to a standardized protocol of investigating and voting on claims; in essence, they decide whether policy stipulations have been sufficiently met, and thus whether a payout should occur in the occasion of a claim. This reward mechanic ensures that claims are handled both fairly and efficiently. We are proud to announce, however, that we do NOT require that deductibles and premiums be paid in COVR tokens; on the alpha platform our users will be free to pay insurance providers in Ethereum. Eventually we hope to expand our catalog of cryptocurrencies accepted in our payments, but this will be largely determined according to demand by insurance providers. COVR tokens will only ever be required for incentivization fees, and even then we may later allow for internal platform atomic swaps, which will allow users to pay for their entire premium in the cryptocurrency of their choice (and that cryptocurrency will be immediately exchanged into COVR and the currency of choice for the provider chosen).
In an effort to promote community involvement, COVR tokens will also grant token holders special voting rights in Product Direction polls. At regular intervals, the CrowdCoverage team will hold votes asking its community to vote on, for example, the nature of product packages to be added to the platform, or which forms of insurance to include next. The more tokens a user holds, the more sway their vote will be given. Learn more by checking out our whitepaper.
Please note that each investor's right to tokens is contingent upon the successful development of such tokens and to the extent applicable, the blockchain upon which they function. There is no guarantee that successful development will ever occur. More can be read on this in the "risks" section of this document.
CrowdCoverage is a startup that has built the future of the insurance industry. We are currently in the process of developing a platform that lets customers directly interact with insurance companies at more affordable rates and without much of the operational friction that plagues the modern insurance industry. The CrowdCoverage platform is simple, straightforward, and accessible.
We plan to have our alpha platform deployed and ready to be used as early as the third quarter of 2018—September, at the latest. By participating in this sale and receiving your share of COVR tokens, you can be one of the first to use it!
All you have to do is provide some basic information about yourself and the item you'd like to insure, and you'll be immediately supplied with quotes from leading insurance providers, at rates far lower than otherwise possible.
CrowdCoverage will begin by offering personal articles insurance, covering items you own in case of the worst. Users will log into the platform and
input simple details about themselves and their articles, like price, size, age, use, etc.
Based on those details, CrowdCoverage will show users automated policies generated by insurance companies competing for their business, allowing them to quickly compare premium prices without having to do all the work of shopping around on various websites.
This puts the power of choice back in consumers hands.
But if a user is unhappy with the automatically generated insurance policies, CrowdCoverage gives them another option. Some insurers will offer customers the opportunity to negotiate the prices and stipulations of their policies. Users will be able to offer their own policy rates and conditions, and companies can decide whether or not to accept. If an insurer agrees on negotiated terms with a user, the smart contract for that agreement becomes publicly available, and others are able to take similar deals.
To incentivize providers, CrowdCoverage allows insurers to split risk with one another to build a more diversified, risk-averse portfolio. With this, we hope to refocus the process of purchasing insurance on the consumer and make the experience as fair as possible. In doing so, we promote healthy competition and affordable rates. And though CrowdCoverage is only focused on personal articles insurance at the moment, we hope to be able to apply this powerful smart-contract model to all types of insurance as we gain market traction. We've included various stages in our roadmap where we'll aggregate feedback from our users, and use this information to revise the platform, as well as decide what kind of insurance or exclusive deals to add next.
The insurance industry, like many other aging industries, is hamstrung by conglomeration and monopolization. As the number of major insurance providers collapses, competition decreases, prices increase, and friction grows abundantly. With fewer providers, customers are forced to go with sub-par plans containing terms and conditions set against them from the outset.
That's why CrowdCoverage is approaching this relatively traditional market with groundbreaking new ideas, and we aim to do it equitably. But how will we take care of that?
Smart contract and blockchain technology will ensure the platform remains transparent, accessible, and secure. Moreover, these technologies remove much of the operational friction present in the insurance industry, too.
Less friction means an instantly smaller footprint. CrowdCoverage cuts administrative costs for insurers and allows them pass savings onto consumers, making the insurers more competitive. Smart contracts also allow CrowdCoverage to cut out brokers, claims managers, and bankers, and with them, their associated fees:
Our goal is to provide our users with a functional platform at launch with which they can purchase insurance and receive policies immediately after. Because of this, if a user breaks their insured item that night, they'll get paid the next day. It'll be that fast. CrowdCoverage aims to provide consumers with the fastest, easiest, most affordable insurance options in the marketplace.
As it stands right now, the platform architecture is finalized, and development is just about ready to begin. Pending the availability of funds, we're hiring top-of-the-line solidity developers to turn these outlines into a reality. We plan to also source competitive consultation work as well as smart contract audits from numerous leading firms. At each stage of development and funding, our team is set to expand; this will happen very quickly. In just the next few months, we plan to hire a full-time solidity developer, an insurance liaison, a marketing coordinator, a solidity contract team, an auditing team, three legal and financial consultants, and as many insurance providers as possible. For more information on developmental timelines, please see our roadmap below.
To make CrowdCoverage the truly revolutionary insurance platform we know it can become, we must first build a robust community around it. We're intending to build that community in two primary ways:
The first is this campaign. We hope that by giving users a stake in our vision, we can incentivize input from the people who matter most: our shareholders. By allowing token holders to vote on product direction decisions, we also hope to ensure that each of our platform user's voice is heard, and taken into consideration when we make the large-scale decisions that are so often relegated only to private board-room meetings. See, we don't play like that. This is a platform by the people, and for the people.
The second manner of community building is through the platform itself and its revolutionary tribunal system…
In today's insurance industry, claims are accepted or rejected by policy managers. Policy managers are major sources of operational friction for two reasons:
Policy managers often receive more work by denying claims. Insurance providers don't want to pay out and are more likely to employ stingier managers.
There's always the risk of collaboration. Though insurance companies go through great lengths to ensure this doesn't happen often, policy managers are still individuals who hold great sway over thousands or millions of other lives. They are always sources of insecurity.
How do we ensure that our claims are handled in an unbiased and equitable way? By incentivizing unbiased, equitable decisions!
Claims are handled through a tribunal system that, depending on the size and value of the item, will assign a number of algorithmically-selected members to investigate and render a decision. These tribunal members will be trained according to specific protocols on how to investigate claims and must apply for the position. Properly vetted decisions will in turn reward tribunal members with tokens. Tribunal members will be rewarded with tokens for properly vetted decisions, and can receive bonuses for going the extra mile, such as contacting parties involved in the claim.
In this way, token economics are leveraged to promote community collaboration and the development of a better environment for all those who are insured through the CrowdCoverage platform.
CrowdCoverage was born out of a platform to incentivize eye witnesses to provide their videos of newsworthy events directly to news channels. Our aim was to create an environment for better quality, more truthful news. Put another way, we sought to create a platform that encouraged objectivity and fact as much as possible.
That search for unbiased truth brought us to the Decentralized News Network and the possibilities presented by new technologies like smart contracts and blockchain. It also got us thinking about which industries were most ripe for the new "decentralization" ethos and radical approaches of crypto-based startups.
The insurance industry made perfect sense. Operational friction has long been a drag on the evolution of this industry, and the trust gap between insurers and the insured is precisely the kind of thing for which smart contract and blockchain technology offer a solution.
But thanks to smart contracts' ability to reduce friction immensely, and our unique tribunal system to remove bias, and the possibility for collaboration, we've developed a platform that overcomes all the issues currently facing the industry. At CrowdCoverage we aim to bring real, positive change to the insurance industry.
CrowdCoverage aims to provide features that existing insurance companies simply can't match. Because of our size and approach to insurance, CrowdCoverage will reshape how the average consumer thinks about insurance:
CrowdCoverage reduces fees for users and friction for insurance providers by implementing smart contracts and blockchain technology to remove unnecessary administrative burdens.
The platform will present users with a number of uniquely generated coverage options and the ability to compare or negotiate company quotes.
CrowdCoverage is transparent at every step to increase trust and understanding between users and insurance companies. Furthermore, public ledger technology assures that all policy stipulations are made available and easy to browse for users purchasing insurance on the platform.
CrowdCoverage aids insurance providers with the underwriting process via algorithmically-guided automation. Providers can opt to undergo a series of company-provided calibration exercises which will better allow Crowd Coverage to estimate how much they may charge in a variety of different user circumstances.
CrowdCoverage might only be focused on the personal articles insurance market for now, but that's just for our proof of concept. The big stuff is coming soon:
Our goal is for CrowdCoverage to become a hub for all kinds of insurance. From the start, we've built our platform to be easily adaptable to various industries.
Though we're using our proprietary automated-claims system to generate claims for insurance companies now, we're hoping to be able to write our own terms and conditions in the future.
While it won't be available in our alpha, we're working to quickly implement our comparison and negotiation systems.
We're always refining our underwriting process' detail collection to give us a greater ability to provide quicker estimations and contracts. Pretty soon, quotes will be immediate and interaction with insurance providers will become easier.
As we gain additional market traction and continue development of our platform, we believe that Crowd Coverage has the potential to completely disrupt the insurance industry.
The insurance industry has to change; there's no question.
We created CrowdCoverage to make an insurance industry that benefits everyone, not just a couple of corporate giants. We want to give the world the fair, equitable, and affordable insurance options it deserves. We want it to happen securely, transparently, and easily.
We want to make it happen, quickly.
That's why now is the perfect time to invest. By investing in CrowdCoverage, you have the opportunity to join the first wave of positive change in the insurance industry. It's needed change that, in the eyes of many, has been long overdue. Your investment is a chance to take control of a market for yourself and your community. It represents a stake in a company that will shake the insurance world to its core. Help us make better insurance for everyone.

*All perks and tokens will be delivered after the campaign is completed, and upon availability of the Tokens.
Terms of Tokens
COVR Tokens:
Description: COVR tokens operate in much the same manner as tokens in an arcade, or as service validators. That is to say, tokens must be used to "run" the Crowd Coverage Network program; as such, tokens must be used to propose a policy; this nominal fee serves multiple purposes. First, it operates as a first- defense vetting device—it prevents an excess of fake or half-hearted proposals. Second, it compensates for the gas used in the sending and receiving of tokens. Finally, a minimal amount is used to incentivize the upkeep of the platform itself. COVR tokens are also used to incentivize the efforts of tribunal members. This ensures that claims are handled both fairly and efficiently.
Other Material Terms:
The Company currently does not have a functional distributed ledger based business model nor a blockchain based token and there is no guarantee that such will be developed in the future. The promise of future tokens is contingent upon the successful development of such items. There is no guarantee that successful development will ever occur. The right to receive future tokens and the offering of future tokens is being offered as part of this offering exempt from registration under Regulation CF.
Tax Advisory: Investors should consult their tax advisors with respect to the tax basis for each of the common stock tokens and the JonCoin tokens, since they will trade independently.
Jurisdictions: No Investor who (i) resides, (ii) is located, (iii) has a place of business, or (iv) is conducting business (any of which makes the Investor a "Resident") in the state of New York will be accepted in this offering.

Crowd Coverage will offer 10% additional bonus shares for all investments that are committed by StartEngine Crowdfunding Inc. shareholders (with ≥ $1,000 invested in the StartEngine Reg A+ campaign) within 24 hours of this offering going live.
StartEngine shareholders who have invested $1,000+ in the StartEngine Reg A+ campaign will receive a 10% bonus on this offering within a 24-hour window of their campaign launch date.

Given the gravity of a campaign to be elected to the highest office of what could conservatively be called a major international power, one might be tempted think that apparent perfidy would be a serious, and perhaps even criminal, charge. After all, these are men and women going out in front of every camera in the country and asking its people to consign their trust to them with their vote; doing so under false pretenses and misrepresentations seems to transcend the boundaries of the merely unsavory into the unconscionable. However, in reality, the inverse of that assertion actually carries the day in America – political candidates are afforded almost unfettered leeway to publicly lie during the course of elections, and usually with impunity.

A key influence in shaping the foundation skills and values of Lori's specialization in intuition is Grandmother, the ancient Shoshone spirit guide that Lori has been consciously channeling since 1989. Grandmother came gently into her awareness through journal writing and has since been a key inspiration to hundreds of thousands through her monthly website focus, books, radio shows and teachings for individuals and larger audiences. You will find endless opportunities to learn from this wise teacher throughout the classes here On-Line.
Much of the material taught in the foundation training, Access Intuition 101 is based on Lori's years of blending firsthand, client-driven social work experience with a solid apprenticeship with Grandmother and the spirit world. The training in Medical Intuition, Business Intuition and Artist Intuition has grown from the stellar intuition, tracking and sourcing skills that are the signature foundation in all of Lori's work.

Comment Reply
Hi Anonymous,
Sure you can.
Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by exposure to blood containing the hepatitis C virus. Transmission rarely occurs from exposure to other infected body fluids, such as semen.
If you're in a long-term, monogamous relationship with a partner who has hepatitis C, your risk of sexual transmission is low — 0 to 0.6 percent a year. For these monogamous couples, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) doesn't recommend routine condom use to prevent transmission. But couples should avoid sharing razors, toothbrushes and nail clippers.
The risk of transmission is slightly higher — about 1 percent a year — if you have multiple short-term sexual relationships with partners who have hepatitis C. This risk increases if a partner is also infected with HIV. Under these circumstances, the CDC recommends routine condom use to reduce your risk of transmission.
If you're concerned about hepatitis C, talk to your doctor. Hepatitis C can be diagnosed by a blood test. Treatment may include medications to help clear the virus from the bloodstream.
If you don't want to take the 0.6% chance of getting Hepatitis C from your husband through sex, he can get treatment for Hepatitis C to help clear his bloodstream and then you can try conceiving or you can speak to your doctor about other methods of conception.
Best Wishes,
RosaOctober 9, 2011 - 7:22am

Notes: "This large cairn (24m diameter, 1.7m height) composed of loose granite boulders. It is unusual among summit cairns in having a well defined outer bank about 1m wide and 0.5m high. This is partly turf covered but where eroded can be seen to be built of loose stone like the central cairn which touches it. It shows best on the north and east sides, while on the south west side it tends to merge into the body of the cairn."

Our Philosophy
Everlaw's security and compliance program is holistic and part of our core philosophy. It demonstrates our commitment to ethics and our company values, as well as compliance with our security, privacy and confidentiality commitments to customers and applicable laws and regulations.
Our Standing
Everlaw sets the bar for cloud security. Our program is built on top of federal guidance on effective compliance programs, because we believe that security, privacy and compliance go hand-in-hand. Everlaw prioritizes keeping important data safe with enterprise-class security protocols and privacy standards.
How We Do It
Log in with multi-factor authentication + single sign-on
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest
System availability
Average annual uptime exceeds 99.9%
Proactive security programs
We regularly perform intrusion detection, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and continuous monitoring on our codebase
Our Process
Since 2016, Everlaw has completed an annual SOC 2 Type 2 certification, which includes intrusion detection, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, change management, and disaster recovery and backup plans. In 2018, Everlaw added the Privacy criteria to its SOC 2 audit scope, which already included the Security, Availability and Confidentiality criteria.
2016 – Annual SOC 2 Type 2 Certification begins
2017 – Third-party HIPAA Compliance Assessment
2018 – Independent GDPR Compliance Readiness Assessment / Privacy Criteria Added to SOC 2 Audit Scope
2019 – FedRAMP In Process Status Achieved
2020 – FedRAMP Authority to Operate from U.S. Department of Justice
Additional Certifications
At Everlaw, we choose to undergo rigorous security and privacy testing by independent third party auditors. In 2017, Everlaw completed a third-party HIPAA Compliance Assessment that evaluated compliance with the HIPAA Administrative, Physical and Technical Safeguards. In 2018, Everlaw completed an independent GDPR Compliance Readiness Assessment.
For a company to receive SOC 2 Type 2 certification, it must have sufficient policies and controls operating to protect customers' data, and it must provide detailed evidence and pass independent testing of operational effectiveness through the audit testing procedures. This examination of our entire security and compliance infrastructure, rather than solely relying on the credentials of our cloud service provider, illustrates Everlaw's ongoing commitment to create and maintain stringent security controls.
As further evidence of our commitment to security and compliance, in 2020, Everlaw became the only cloud-native discovery platform to have FedRAMP Authority to Operate authorization, approved by the Department of Justice. FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and monitoring for cloud-based services.

i7 Vs Xeon for Editing
I'm building a PC workstation for my commercial productions, the difference between an i7 and Xeon processor of the same clock speed is +/- $50.
All other components being relatively solid, is there an advantage to one intel chip over the other for Premiere Pro and resolve?
4 Comments
The CPU doesn't make as much difference for video rendering as the GPU does. You could even use an i5 and not notice much loss in performance. Without at least a middle of the line GPU though, HD video is horrifically painful, forget UHD.
December 14, 2016 at 4:27AM, Edited December 14, 4:27AM
I would say so. Using Vegas, I noticed no added performance going from a mid-level i5 to top-end i7, but a better GPU let me preview graded HD video in real time vs "blocky slide-show". The thing is, CPUs are designed to do a few complex calculations at a time while GPUs are made to do many repetitive calculations at a time, which is exactly what video is! The software has to support GPU rendering of course.

It is expected that the case involving disgraced former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick who is accused of various incidents of sexual abuse over the past 50 years, will be decided by the Vatican before the February 21-24 bishops summit on clerical abuse.
Crux's John L. Allen, Jr. is reporting that, according to various sources, McCarrick is set to lose his clerical status, which is more commonly known as being "laicized" or "defrocked." This is the most severe punishment that can be imposed on a priest and is usually reserved for especially heinous offenses.
McCarrick, who is accused of the sexual abuse of a 16-year-old boy more than 50 years ago as well as various other incidents involving adult priests and seminarians, already received a highly unusual sanction in July 2018 when he was stripped of the title of Cardinal, making him the first prelate in a century to lose his red hat.
"Assuming the laicization happens, he would also be the highest-ranking Catholic cleric in modern times to suffer that penalty," Allen writes.
Although sources say that the Pope and his Vatican team want the McCarrick case to be resolved before the upcoming summit, Allen warns that this will not be the end of the issue. Defrocking McCarrick would certainly show that the pope means business, but it leaves unresolved the most pressing issue surrounding this case – the cover up.
How did McCarrick get away with this behavior all these years? Who knew about it and when did they know it? And how could someone with his history have risen to such high levels in the Church hierarchy?
"What's angered people from the beginning about the McCarrick scandal isn't simply the pattern of behavior that's been exposed, which may be especially galling because it involves an ex-cardinal but which, in itself, is sadly familiar," Allen writes. "What's created the deep sense of frustration one senses at the Catholic grassroots is the perception that senior authority figures in the Church were aware of concerns about McCarrick but continued to move him up the ladder, often for reasons of politics and self-interest."
What the Catholic faithful really want is full disclosure. " . . .[W]ho knew what, and when – who propelled his rise to power, and what did they know about the rumors and reports concerning McCarrick at the time?" Allen asks.
The Vatican is clearly aware of this and promised a "thorough study of the entire documentation present in the archives of the dicasteries and offices of the Holy See" because "both abuse and its cover-up can no longer be tolerated."
As Allen concludes, "If Francis and his advisers want the McCarrick case to be wrapped up before the summit later this month, therefore, just laicizing him won't do the trick. They'll also need to explain how we got to a point where such a move is necessary – and, of course, offer some reason to believe we won't be here again."
Let us keep all those involved in this matter, including Theodore McCarrick and his victims, in our prayers!
