From The Field: Borneo's Tanjung Puting National Park And The High Stakes Of The Palm Oil Crisis
Both the Sekonyer Community and endangered orangutans are losing their forest homes.
Since joining RAN's forest program over two years ago, I have read and written about the many dire consequences of industrial scale palm oil plantations in Indonesia: one of the highest deforestation rates in the world, critical habitat for endangered species like orangutans destroyed, gross human rights abuses and labor conditions, and social conflict between communities that depend on the forests for their livelihoods and the companies destroying those forests. But until recently, my personal connection to all of this remained largely academic.
Our trip to the wilds of Borneo this month after attending the annual meeting of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) has transformed my theoretical understanding of the problems with palm oil. The experience of witnessing these impacts in person has been staggering, and I found it hard to believe that, even on the edge of a globally treasured, protected area, I was able to document one of the most severe cases of active forest destruction from palm oil expansion I have heard about to date.
[set_id=72157628394790421]
What I saw during the four days we toured the forests surrounding Borneo's Tanjung Puting National Park was more extraordinary and devastating than anything I could have imagined. The weight of my realization about what's at stake hit me hard the day we spent walking through old-growth tropical rainforest, seeing wild orangutans, Horn Bills, Proboscis monkeys, and the recent evidence of a Sun Bear clawing a tree for honey, followed by an afternoon watching an excavator tearing down towering trees and digging a drainage canal into one of the last areas of natural forest remaining in the buffer zone of the park. We were on the edge of a community agroforestry project designed to demonstrate an alternative to destructive monoculture in an area almost entirely razed to make way for palm oil plantations.
We watched, horrified, as an irreplaceable hotspot of biodiversity fell before our eyes, two majestic Horn Bills flew overhead, and an endangered Red Langur monkey peered at us through the trees.
After spending a full day documenting human rights abuses with our allies from Save Our Borneo, an organization working on the frontlines of Central Kalimantan's palm oil expansion crisis, RAN forest team member Lafcadio Cortesi and I took a night bus across Borneo from the city of Palangkaraya to Pangkalanbun. Even though the landscape was shrouded in darkness, the endless sea of sterile palm oil plantations beyond the road stood out throughout our entire 11 hour journey — a grim reminder that the province of Central Kalimantan has one of the fastest rates of oil palm expansion in Indonesia, perhaps even in the world.
The Sekonyer River
Around 4am we arrived in the small port town of Kumai at the office of Friends of the National Parks Foundation (FNPF), the incredible organization my colleague Laurel visited in Bali earlier this year that also operates community development and reforestation projects in Borneo. I collapsed in a makeshift bunk bed and fell asleep to the sounds of Indonesian sunrise: distant speakers blaring Muslim calls to prayer, a singing gecko, a rooster crowing, and a chainsaw running somewhere behind the little house we slept in.
A few hours later we were racing to the edge of the Kumai River on motorbikes to travel by speed boat to the Sekonyer River, the gateway to Tanjung Puting National Park. Tanjung Puting is a globally recognized biosphere reserve and an unparalleled diversity hotspot. It's home to many endangered species such as orangutans and Clouded leopards. Despite the incredible importance of Tanjung Puting, the park and its surroundings — the buffer zone — are under threat from illegal logging and mining operations and, most ominously, the encroachment of palm oil.
The reckless, short-sighted expansion of palm oil plantations in Central Kalimantan is pushing many of these species to the brink of extinction, literally leaving them with nowhere to go. The disappearing rainforest we witnessed falling is sandwiched between the Sekonyer River, the national park, and 10,000 hectares of plantations. Inside the national park, orangutans have more hope of survival. But orangutans can't swim, so when we saw a pregnant orangutan mother with her young children on the west side of the river — where the forest was actively being converted to oil palm plantation — my heart sank.
Oil Palm on Peat
The deeper in we got, the more severe the problems. The drainage canals along the edge of the plantations were filled with the dark black water of dissolved peat soil — highlighting the troubling reality that the much of this plantation was on top of carbon-rich peat soils and thus emitting massive amounts of CO2 as it rots upon being exposed to the air. In the converted peatlands, many of the oil palms were growing sideways and some even falling over. It seemed certain that the yields were marginal and the costs — the loss of a thriving and rare ecosystem and community livelihoods — was great. It seemed sure the Indonesian law prohibiting conversion of deep peatlands was being violated.
Responsible for this mess is BW Plantations, an RSPO member with about 100,000 hectares (240,000 acres) of oil palm plantations in Central and East Kalimantan. In addition to its draining of peatlands and destroying primary forests right up against a national park filled with many of the world's last orangutans, the company is also grossly disrespecting the rights of the local community.
Community secretary Mr. Taufik delivers an impassioned speech about the community's resistance to palm oil expansion. The banner reads: PT Bumi Langgeng Return Community Rights
The vibrant village of Tanjung Harapan on the Sekonyer river has over 100 families who are actively opposing the palm oil plantation and its expansion. Immediately upon entering the village by water, we saw two huge protest banners and a large sign reading, "PT Bumi Langgeng: Return the Rights of the Sekonyer Community." The community members depend on the forest for their livelihoods and see the encroaching palm oil as a threat to their reliance on community food gardens, agroforestry, and fishing. They are angry that the palm oil plantation has used over 2,200 hectares (over 5,000 acres) of their village lands without any consultation or approval.
During our stay in the Sekonyer community, we slept under mosquito nets on a boat on the river's edge. Our second night we met with community leaders and they told us their story. We learned that the community has been at odds with the palm oil company PT Bumi Langgeng, a subsidiary of BW Plantations, for many years over a land conflict. In the last several months, community resistance has escalated as land clearing continues at breakneck speed. I could actually hear the bulldozers demolishing forest from the community garden — to say it was unsettling would be a major understatement.
Mother and baby orangutan at Camp Leakey
When the company cut down the community's native rubber trees around six months ago, it triggered the first demonstration. Police showed up but no one was arrested. The latest demonstration took place just a few months ago after community leaders sent formal letters of complaint to the company as well as the district, provincial, and national governments seeking recognition of their lands, compensation for the 2,200 ha. of community land already taken by the company, and a halt to further expansion into forests and remaining community lands. Community members blocked the canal from the palm oil plantation to the main river. So far they have not received any response.
This is the true cost of palm oil. Is it worth it?
As the cheapest, highest-yielding vegetable oil and now the most heavily traded edible oil in the world, I understand that companies benefit from this lucrative industry so dependent on cheap labor and precious yet cheap rainforests. But at what price are we going to continue expanding this commodity? Expansion of palm oil into ecological and cultural hotspots needs to stop. The community of Sekonyer needs our support to secure their rights and justice. The time is ticking for the orangutans and other species depending on the forests — if they can't be protected from palm oil expansion on the edge of a national park, the prospects for responsible palm oil look grim.

Tucson Federal Credit Union has pressed ignition on a project to improve its drive-thru options at multiple branch locations in Arizona by implementing NCR's Interactive Teller software.
NCR says Tucson FCU introduces an easier way to bank face-to-face with a live teller from the comfort of members' cars.
The ATMs provide such options as "intelligent deposit", bill pay and new account and loan initiation. Tucson FCU plans to add Interactive Teller-enabled ATMs to more locations in January.
According to NCR, Tucson FCU joins a network of more than 400 financial institutions (FIs) that use Interactive Teller.
For its digital banking software, the credit union uses Backbase's omnichannel platform.


Okay, confession time. When I signed up to review Ann Napolitano's A Good Hard Look, I didn't recognize the name Flannery O'Conner.
What stuck out to me, and the reason why I wanted to read the book, was that the book is set in Milledgeville, GA, where I have family and, at one point, considered going to college. I'm a sucker for anything Southern so this book seemed like a natural fit for me.
Want to keep reading? Check out the rest of my thoughts over on BlogHer's Book Club.
I received a copy of this book and compensation to write this review for BlogHer's Book Club but all opinions are mine alone.

10 Questions for…. Demian Overduyn
10 questions for 31 mei 2014
For Kim Kötter it it is the third Mister Netherlands that she chose to represent the Netherlands at the Mister World pageant. His name: Demian Overduyn, a biology student and a dancer. Will he be able to be as successful as Honza Filipi, who placed as a finalist at the 2010 edition of Mister World in China. Honza is still the most successful dutch Mister at the Mister World pageant.
Demian sure got the looks and the brains to be placed and he will be a strong competitor for a high placement during the Mr World 2014 pageant.
We asked Demian 10 questions….
Please introduce yourself to the visitors of Miss Holland Now
Hey everybody, my name is Demian Overduijn and 23 years old. This Sunday the 1ste of June is my birthday so I will be 24 soon. I study biology at the University of Wageningen because I love to be out in the bush and I love to watch and catch animals (and release them of course). Furthermore I work as a professional dancer and model. So next to nature I also love fashion, city life and being around people. I also love to sport. I am a fast learner so I can practice a lot of different types of sports. The sports I love most are playing tennis, doing gymnastics, of course dancing, kung fu, capoeira, spinning etc. I am passionate and I won't stop till I reach my goals. I always want something new to learn and so I recently started playing the guitar, which is going very well if I may say so. I recently became single after a 7 year relationship and during the talent show at the Mr World competition I would like to close this chapter of my life by choreographing a dance on "Passenger's let her go" . Furthermore, I am very social, always in a good mood and I look forward to the competition.
Why did the Mister Nederland organization chose you and not one of the other entries
I believe they chose me because I am broadly proficient. The Looks, the Study, the Work and the Sports.
In your Bio it says that the Mister World organization is looking for a man like James Bond, how do you fit into that picture?
Like James Bond, I'm not afraid to take risks and I believe I share some James Bond class charm.
What do you expect of the Mister World pageant?
I expect it to be hard work and a lot of fun with all the other contestants. I don't mind to work hard,especially when I'm having fun. So I look forward to the competition.
The Mister World pageant has several pre-pageant events like sports and talent; at what events do you think you will score and why?
I think I will score at talent and sports the most, because I will be doing a dance in the talent show in which I can put a lot of my emotions. I believe I can show the jury and the audience a little part of my life by this choreography. And because of my job as a dancer, my condition is good, as is my coordination and balance.
How will you prepare?
I have met Honza Filipi, Mr Netherlands 2010, and Bas Gosewisch, Mr Netherlands 2012, and they gave me some useful tips. I also prepared by choreographing my own talent piece and I sported even more than usual.
What will you tell the other Misters from all around the world about the Netherlands, besides windmills, cheese and wooden shoes?
That the Netherlands is a very free and modern country in which you can have lots of fun.
Besides having the look, you are also a Biology student; Why is this THE perfect combination for the next Mister World?
I love nature and I want to help conserve biodiversity. I have learnt a lot about biodiversity and what the problems are of conserving it. During the Mr World competition I can bring this problem forward and I can share knowledge on how to prevent animals for disappearing from our planet. I can give the right reasons why we should preserve biodiversity to an audience (Mr World competition) that I normally could not reach.
What is your goal in life and how will you make that happen?
I hope to combine biology (being in nature) with television. I hope to present a TV show where I go into nature looking for endangered animal species. By accomplishing this, I get to be in nature where I feel great and I get to bring knowledge and awareness to people all over the world about lots of species and I can try to convince people why we should be more careful with nature. I try to make this all happen by studying biology… and by getting acting lessons and by starting to work for smaller TV programs about animals. And of course, I really hope and I do think that the Mr World competition can help me to get into the picture and arouse interest for my goals.
We wish Demian all the best of luck during the Mister World pageant and want to thank him to take the time to answer our questions during his busy preparation.
Thanks Kim Kötter

A musical journey well-travelled
Bobby Rush, an octogenarian from Mississippi is proud to be a two-time Grammy Award-winning artist. He has faced much adversity in his life and feels he can be a good role model; he has succeeded in spite of it all and believes others can as well.
He sings about being in love with big, fat women, being henpecked and broken-hearted, about cheating women, chicken heads, and porcupine meat. Entertainer and at age eighty-eight, Mississippi bluesman Bobby Rush will say or do just about anything to make his audience laugh.
Rush isn't just a bluesman—he's a comedian and the ultimate showman.
"I take a chance and do things other guys wouldn't dare to do," Rush recently said about his sometimes-racy performances. He recalls as a young child, being a clown, he learned quickly, "I had a gift that could get me through the door. I'm a comedian."
However, getting through the door wasn't always something to laugh about. It didn't mean he was always treated right.
He tells stories of playing music for cheeseburgers on the Chitlin Circuit and having to play behind a curtain because the white audience that came to hear his music didn't want to see his black face. "I didn't want anyone to know I was hurting. I found a way to make that funny; I was funny from behind the curtain. I dealt with it through humor. I'd laugh about myself and about the garbage man stealing my wife."
His music is his escape.
At eighty-three, he was honored with a long-overdue Grammy. He looks like he's in his fifties. He is tall, thin, and energetic. He has smooth skin and an even smoother voice. He is a consummate entertainer.
Rush (second from left) and well-known harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite (third from right) take a bow at the 36th Blues Music Awards held in Memphis at the Cook Convention Center in 2015. All the members of the Blues Hall of Fame that were present at the awards got on the stage.
Rush was once called "King of the Chitlin Circuit," a title he didn't like and would have never given himself. He has felt disrespected many times in his lifetime.
However, he pushed forward with over 350 recordings and a career where he plays over two hundred dates per year. He says that he has been blessed. "Music gave me some opportunities that I never would have had as a Black man; I would never have gotten through those doors. Emmett Ellis Jr. (his given name) would never have gotten through those doors."
When things are tough, he says he grabs his guitar and writes songs. "You write what you know about," and Rush knows the blues. Songs come to him often at odd times; "I will write on toilet paper if I have to."
He grew up in a household filled with plenty of love and spiritual grounding.
"When I was a child, we were poor and we had no money, but we had love. Love is a healer of all things." His father, a preacher, was his mentor. "He was a kind man, and he was everything to me."
His mother was blond and blue-eyed. She was the granddaughter of a powerful white landowner in the area. In the segregated South, he said when the family was in public, she was referred to as his "babysitter."
As he learned about prejudice in the South, like many, he decided to venture north where he believed things were better. In Chicago, he met many of the great bluesmen who also chose to migrate north. Legends like Howlin' Wolf, Albert King, Muddy Waters, and Little Walter. He did what he had to do to learn his craft. When times were lean, Rush sold hot dogs to help make ends meet.
Fans press against the stage to see Bobby Rush who is a Memphis favorite. Rush has often played the Memphis Music & Heritage Festival. The festival celebrates the arts, music and the heritage of the South.
Before leaving home at age fourteen, a good attitude and work ethic was instilled in him. Whether Rush was chopping cotton, carrying water, pumping gas, or later in life, writing songs, he says he has always tried to do his very best.
While he thinks it is important to write about the valleys and hardships in his new book I Ain't Studdin' Ya, he also wants to be an inspiration to others. He remains funny and upbeat. "I don't have a chip on my shoulder about nothing or no one."
When Rush looks back on his life, he says he is thankful for what his life is. "When I think about what it could have been, I am so blessed. All along the way, I have asked God to lead me and teach me to do the right thing so that I make the right decision."
He never drank or used drugs. "There are some things I wish I hadn't done, but if I had it to do over, I would change very little."
He played blues in the Arkansas Delta before spending decades living in Chicago. He returned to the South in the early eighties, and when he is not touring, he comes home to a wife and family in Mississippi where he likes to go to church, fish, and spend quiet time alone. He believes Mississippi has always been underrated and has been unjustly given a bad name.
Rush, with longtime friend, actor Morgan Freeman.
Throughout his lifetime, Rush has been disappointed to learn that racial problems exist all over the world and not just in the South. It was in the north, in Illinois, that he had to play behind the curtain. He realized that there was no escaping racism, even after his pilgrimage north. That gave him the blues.
As for the future of the blues? The late B.B. King talked about how so many of the great bluesmen came from Mississippi. Rush also feels that it is very important for people to know the history of blues music and where it came from. Rush is one of the last elder bluesmen standing, and he says that it scares him to death. He is passionate about encouraging younger people to continue the tradition of blues music. "Black kids don't want to be part of the blues; they don't identify with the origins of the blues."
Many white artists are now carrying the music forward. Rush is thankful for that. However, he wants people to know where the blues came from, that it came from the black community. Blues was born out of pain and in the cotton fields and the segregated South.
He is thankful for his longevity after watching many of his colleagues lowered into the ground.
While pulling on your heartstrings, he looks you in the eye and tells you that he has a problem; he pulls out his harmonica, lays down a blues lick, and continues, "I've got a problem with my woman, with my girlfriend and my wife. I love number one, and I love number two, but number three does things number one and number two won't do."
Far from the days he was selling albums from the trunk of his car, he is now enjoying the notoriety that is finding him at every turn. On a recent trip to Memphis, he couldn't walk down the street without being stopped by people that drove by, including a trolley driver. Rush is recognized nationally and internationally. He once played to Black-only audiences on the Chitlin Circuit. Now, he's built a national and international fan base that draws a diverse audience. He plays at auditoriums, wineries, and performing arts centers.
He remembers the days when they wouldn't hire a Black man who sounded like himself, but they would hire a white man who sounded Black.
Now, white guys and younger guys want to record with him. "Now they see me as Bobby Rush, the bluesman, and they love me," he says proudly.
Rush has been working with music students at Rhodes College in Memphis where he was given an honorary degree this spring. He is now Dr. Rush.
For Rush, one of the most meaningful things about being so highly acclaimed late in life, is that it allows him to help others. He says he can now contribute to his family and friends in ways he was never able to do before. "I can do things now for people that can't do for themselves and for people who need it more than me."
As a two-time Grammy award winner, the "International Dean of the Blues" from Mississippi doesn't have to work for cheeseburgers anymore.
"I'm a blues-man, I'm a blues-man
Ah, that's all I know
I sing the blues y'all, everywhere I go.

As the 2019 general election draws near, the UN said there is the need to reactivate the National Peace Committee, which played critical roles in ensuring a peaceful 2015 presidential election.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated this in the 'Report of the Secretary-General on the activities of the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel (UNOWAS)', presented to the UN Security Council.
The National Peace Committee followed the signing of the Abuja Peace Accord on Jan. 14, 2015 by former President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party, then All Progressives Congress candidate Muhammadu Buhari and other presidential candidates.
The Committee comprised of 'respected statesmen and women, traditional and religious leaders' who include former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar, Bishop Mathew Kukah, and Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar III, Sultan of Sokoto.
Guterres said his Special Representative for West Africa and the Sahel, Mohammed Chambas, continued to support efforts to sustain peace in the region by promoting and supporting inclusive national political dialogues, constitutional and democratic reforms and transparent, credible and peaceful election.
The UN chief said: "Cognizant of the politically active environment ahead of the Nigerian polls in 2019, he conducted consultations with political and religious leaders in Abuja from 18 to 21 March.
"National stakeholders concurred on the need for the full reactivation of the National Peace Committee of Nigeria, which had been instrumental in facilitating dialogue prior to the country's elections in 2015″.
Through the Peace Accord, the candidates committed to "take proactive measures to prevent electoral violence before, during and after the elections".
They also expressed determination "to avoid any conduct or behaviour that will endanger the political stability and national security of Nigeria,… to place national interest above personal and partisan concern".
They further reaffirmed their "commitment to fully abide by all rules and regulations as laid down in the legal framework for elections in Nigeria".
The UN chief noted the preparedness for the 2019 presidential election and other political developments in Nigeria.
He said: "In Nigeria, political developments centred on preparations for presidential and parliamentary elections set to take place in February 2019.
"On 9 April, the President, Muhammadu Buhari, declared his intention to run for a second term. Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar also announced his candidacy for the presidential election.
"A demand made by the House of Representatives in April, following an increase in violence in the Middle Belt and the north of the country, to dismiss national service chiefs and security advisers, has not been carried out.
"In addition, the decision of the National Assembly to summon Mr Buhari to provide a briefing on the increased insecurity in the country prompted a debate on whether the legislature had such power over the executive".
Guterres noted the 'Not Too Young To Run' bill, which would reduce the age limits set for candidates for elected positions, and the adoption of the Electoral Act amendment, which would regulate the general elections.
On security trends, Guterres said asymmetrical attacks were carried out by Boko Haram terrorists against security forces, local authorities and civilians in Nigeria and other West African state.
The UN chief said extremist armed groups continued to harass civilians, carry out targeted abductions or killings, burn down schools and threaten teaching staff.
"In Nigeria, multiple clashes between farmers and herders in the Middle Belt states, as well as in the southern states of Edo, Ebonyi and Kogi, resulted in numerous casualties, population displacement and destruction of property".
Guterres also noted the continued protests by the Islamic Movement in Nigeria over the detention of its leader, decreased violence in the Niger-Delta and Southeast regions, and militant groups threat to resume attacks.

French artist Philippe Cognée lives and works in Nantes, France and exhibits widely throughout Europe. Cognée's paintings focus on seemingly banal subjects, such as libraries, supermarkets, cityscapes and anonymous crowds. However, with the use of encaustic painting techniques, Cognée accentuates his themes of anonymity, intimacy, and ambiguity, while also achieving a tactile quality. Cognée draws from images in the press, television or his own photography to select compositions for his paintings. The photographic images are merely the beginning point as he then uses thick applications of paint and wax to recreate the forms and contours within each scene to cause the already anonymous people and locations to meld together further and become even more blurred and muddled.

Planning for the New H-1B Cap Registration System: Balancing Risks and Rewards of Preparation Versus Procrastination
USCIS announced that the H-1B cap registration period will open on March 1 and close on March 20, 2020, pursuant to the USCIS registration rule effective April 1, 2019. Employers will be required to submit a registration, along with a $10 registration fee, for each individual for which they plan to file an H-1B cap-subject petition. USCIS will then use the electronic registrations to randomly select enough registrations to meet the 85,000 available H-1B visas (65,000 regular cap and an additional 20,000 reserved specifically for master's degree holders) and will announce the selections no later than March 31, 2020.
At first glance, this seems to be an easy way for employers to save money on legal fees by not preparing full petitions until the selection process is complete because employers would only incur legal fees for those selected in the lottery. However, the accelerated timeline and the lack of information about the new system and its implementation pose a substantial risk for H-1B petitions that are prepared after the selection process. Moreover, USCIS has yet to announce whether the filing window will begin on April 1, 2020 (as has been required in prior years), which would just be one day after their self-imposed deadline to announce the cap selections. As a result of this highly unpredictable and untested new process, we have outlined H-1B preparation options below to allow employers greater flexibility when considering their preferred risk level.
FACTORS THAT MAY EFFECT THE SELECTION OF THE H-1B PREPARATION OPTIONS
While assessing which H-1B preparation option to select, we have delineated H-1B policy changes that should be considered. Since the introduction of the "Buy American and Hire American" Executive Order in April 2017, USCIS has proposed and implemented a series of changes to the H-1B visa program in the name of "protecting U.S. workers." Many of the policies have placed additional burdens and costs on U.S. companies that are struggling to fill positions with qualified U.S. workers. These policy changes dictate that H-1B petitions need to be prepared thoughtfully and meticulously to secure success outcomes. The following salient H-1B policy changes are summarized below:
According to a recent National Foundation for American Policy analysis of USCIS data, denial rates for H-1B petitions for initial employment (primarily new employees) quadrupled, rising from 6% in FY 2015 to 24% through the third quarter of FY 2019. The 12% denial rate for continuing employment [mostly for existing employees] is also historically high: 4 times higher than the denial rate of only 3% for H-1B petitions for continuing employment as recently as FY 2015.[1]
USCIS plans to publish a rulethat would "revise the definition of specialty occupation . . . and revise the definition of employment and employer-employee relationship." Employers should anticipate a far-reaching rule and these changes could alter adjudication standards.[2]
The government has not been entirely clear about the post-selection process and timing, therefore creating great uncertainty about the time that would be allotted for H-1B petition preparation.
Due to the potential for a condensed timeframe between lottery selection and the H-1B filing deadline, the influx of activity on the Department of Labor website that administers the certification of labor condition applications (LCA) could experience serious technical problems. The certified labor condition application is required for all H-1B petitions and H-1B petitions will not be accepted without a certified LCA.
Our team has analyzed the information distributed by DHS, USCIS, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) to identify three pathways to navigating the H-1B registration system and the subsequent filing of selected petitions. Each option has different costs and risks associated. All options include the legal team's review of the beneficiary's identifying documents to confirm accuracy of the biographic information that is being entered. We would be happy to discuss what may work best for your business.
The differences in the legal fees in the options listed below are directly related to the additional expenses we would incur (such as overtime) for H-1B petitions prepared in a condensed timeframe.
REGISTRATION FEE FOR ALL OPTIONS:
LEGAL FEE $50.00 PER H-1B PETITION REGISTERED. THIS FEE WILL BE CREDITED TOWARD THE LEGAL FEE IF THE REGISTRANT IS SELECTED.
USCIS FEE $10 FOR EACH REGISTRATION
Option One: Prepare beneficiary and petitioner information for filing as usual
Risk Level: Low
Cost: Medium (Lower legal fee overall. The legal fee is split between two stages.)
Legal fees for preparation of the H-1B petition are payable at the time the H-1B case is initiated. We will not collect the portion of the H-1B legal fee for finalizing the H-1B for submission until the H-1B petition is selected.
If the H-1B petition is selected, we will then and only then collect the legal fees associated with finalizing the H-1B for submission.
Best for: Risk-averse companies that want to prepare petitions in advance of deadlines to prepare for scenarios such as system glitches, USCIS policy changes, etc. Good for companies who haven't filed for an H-1B petition previously or when the H-1B petition is in support of high-priority candidates and want to ensure that given the adverse H-1B adjudication trends, that there is ample time to prepare the best possible submissions to USCIS.
What it entails: You would submit all employee documentation, petitioner information, job description and duties, and project details (if applicable) on a normal timeline consistent with an early April filing. We will review employee qualifications and the job duties to ensure H-1B compliance, examine documents to prove work availability to troubleshoot potential problems early, and review the totality of the case to ensure that the specialty occupation and employer-employee relationship requirements can be met when the case is selected for the cap. The legal fee due prior to registration includes the LCA filing (which will be done prior to the cap selection process to ensure timely filings once selections are made). The petition will be prepared prior to cap selection and we will finalize the H-1B petition for submission upon selection.
Option Two: Collect selected documentation for attorney review, file LCA prior to cap selection
Risk Level: Medium
Cost: Medium (Regular legal fees, we will only assess a legal fee for the time spent on document review and LCA filing)
Best for: Companies that are familiar with the H-1B process and can quickly share additional documentation after cap selection.
What it entails: We will review the basic position details in order to file the LCA prior to the cap selection process. However, we will not be reviewing in-depth project documents or preparing the petition until the cap selection is made. Additional review can be requested and billed at the attorneys' standard hourly rates.
Option Three: Collect beneficiary information and prepare registration but no H-1B petition preparation until selection
Risk Level: High
Cost: High (A higher legal fee if selected for cap to accommodate the extra resources required to prepare selected filings in an expedited fashion.)
Best for: Companies who are willing to pay the higher legal fee but will only incur legal fees for the selected registrants.
What it entails: The legal team will review the beneficiary's biographical documents to ensure accurate registration information, but will not prepare the petition, collect additional documents, or file the Labor Certification Application (LCA) unless the petition is selected for adjudication. For new beneficiaries or new positions, we can review the basic job duties and employee education and experience to determine if the position qualifies (for the attorney consultation rate). Given the limited timeframe to prepare and then file the H-1B petition, the company risks not being able to successfully resolve any problems in a timely manner prior to the filing deadline. Problem spotting and troubleshooting are much easier months before a deadline rather than a matter of days or weeks before filing. The Labor Condition Application certification processing takes seven days. The Department of Labor site may experience some technical issues during peak use and in the past has crashed during high volumes of certification requests. We will not be able to submit the H-1B petition without the certified LCA.
Additional Considerations During Decision Making
USCIS Policy Memo on Requests for Evidence (RFEs) and Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs)
On September 11, 2018, USCIS enacted a policy memorandum that allowed adjudicators to begin denying applications, petitions, and requests without first issuing an RFE or a NOID in an attempt to eliminate frivolous or substantially incomplete filings, or "placeholder" filings. The memorandum states that if all initial evidence is not submitted during the original filing, USCIS may use discretion to deny the benefit request immediately. Some companies and attorneys were sending petitions with only the most basic information and expecting to respond to an RFE later, but that practice is now likely to result in an outright denial.
Reversal of Cap Selection to Benefit Advanced Degree Holders
The portion of the H-1B registration rule implemented in April 2019 reversed the order in which H-1B petitions were selected under the regular cap and advanced degree exemption. Under the new rule, USCIS counted all applicants towards the estimated number needed to reach the regular H-1B cap first and then selected applicants eligible for the master's degree exemption. The switch resulted in master's degree holders accounting for 63 percent of petitions being selected this spring, an 11 percent increase over 2018.
Some employers that have relied on bachelor's degree holders will likely have a lower proportion of their registrations selected for adjudication, while employers concentrating on advanced degree holders will have better chances in the lottery.
Applicants with Foreign Degrees
While foreign degrees are acceptable as long as they are equivalent to U.S. degrees, USCIS requires credentials evaluations to be performed. If your foreign workers plan to utilize their foreign degrees to qualify for the regular or master's cap, the legal team should evaluate their education and experience to determine whether a credentials evaluation is required. Once the credentials evaluation is received, the attorney should also compare the results with the H-1B position to determine the likelihood the individual qualifies for the role.
USCIS Filing Deadline
USCIS has yet to finalize the actual filing window(s) for cap cases selected for adjudication. Ideally the window will be several weeks spread out throughout the year (perhaps staggering employers in different windows). The filings must be early enough to allow plenty of time for RFEs and responses ahead of the October 1 start of the fiscal year, but late enough to allow some additional preparation after the cap selection is completed by March 31, 2020. If the department decides to maintain the beginning of April filing window for all employers, there will be a scramble to file LCAs, collect documentation, and finalize petitions in days or a couple of weeks. (For comparison, under the current cap selection process most companies begin preparing in January for the April 1 filing deadline.) USCIS stated that more information would be available in the "coming weeks" but it is risky for employers to keep waiting for more information without making some preparations in advance of the registration process.

Przemysław van Auschwitz (circa 1362 - Rybnik, 1 januari 1406) was van 1404 tot 1406 hertog van de helft van Glogau en Steinau en van 1405 tot 1406 hertog van Auschwitz. Hij behoorde tot de Silezische tak van het huis Piasten.

Levensloop
Przemysław was de oudste zoon van hertog Przemysław I Noszak van Teschen en diens echtgenote Elisabeth, dochter van hertog Bolesław van Bytom.

Op 23 juni 1404 kreeg hij van zijn vader de helft van de districten Glogau en Steinau toegewezen, wat het begin van zijn zelfstandige regering betekende. Nadat hertog Jan III van Auschwitz in 1405 zonder nakomelingen stierf, ging het hertogdom Auschwitz naar het hertogdom Teschen. Kort nadien kreeg Przemysław van zijn vader dit hertogdom toegewezen.

De goede regering van Przemysław over Auschwitz kwam op 1 januari 1406 plots ten einde toen Przemysław in de stad Rybnik door ene Martin Chrzan werd vermoord. Deze moord gebeurde zeer waarschijnlijk in opdracht van hertog Jan II van Troppau-Ratibor, die een persoonlijke vete had met hertog Przemysław I Noszak van Teschen.

Na zijn dood ging de helft van de districten Glogau en Steinau terug naar zijn vader, terwijl het hertogdom Auschwitz werd geërfd door zijn minderjarige zoon Casimir I. Przemysław werd bijgezet in de Dominicanenkerk van Teschen.

Huwelijk en nakomelingen
Przemysław was gehuwd met een vrouw wier identiteit onbekend gebleven is. Ze kregen een zoon:
 Casimir I (1396-1434), hertog van Auschwitz

Hertog van Silezië

Home > Blog > Halloween Accidents–Are You Covered?
Soon, ghouls, goblins and The Little Mermaid will be at your front door. Are you prepared?
We aren't talking candy-bought, decorations-up prepared. We mean, what happens if Glenda the Good Witch breaks her arm or your house is egged? Are you covered for that? Or will a night of tricks and treats become an expensive horror?
Note: Not all insurance policies are created equal! The following guidelines are standard, but there are exceptions. It's important to get to know your insurance policy before you have to file a claim.
Note: If you're sued because of the accident, your policy may also pay to defend you in court. But keep in mind that you're typically only covered for negligence. You aren't covered for intentional injuries – meaning if little Glenda the Good Witch hurts little Kevin the cowboy, you won't be covered!
Note: Many policies don't cover vandalism if a property has been vacant for 30 days or more. If you're planning an extended trip or have a second home, speak with an agent about the vandalism portion of your policy.

- Counting is useful because we often want to count the entire sample space and our event of interest. Many a times they can be large and it is useful to know some basic combinatorics.

- **The Counting Principle** : The total number of possible results of the r-stage process is n1 * n2 * n3 * ... nr.

- For e.g., to order an ice cream we have to choose from 2 cone types, 12 flavors and 7 toppings. So the total number of ways to order an ice cream is 2 * 12 * 7

- **Summary of Counting Results**
    - **Permutations** of n objects: n!
    - **k-permutations** of n objects: n! / (n - k)!
    - **Combinations** of k out of n objects: n choose k = n! / k! (n - k)!
    - **Partitions** of n objects into r groups, with the ith group having ni objects: n! / n1 ! * n2 ! * n3 ! ..nr !

### Counting Examples

#### Permutations

- A permutation of a set of objects is a way of ordering them.
- For example if we have 2 objects say 1, 2, there are two ways of ordering them

1 2

2 1

- For n objects, we have n! ways ... i.e., PN = N!

- An equivalent way of thinking about the PN = N! result is the following. For concreteness, let's say that we have four people, Alice, Bob, Carol, and Dave. And let's assume that they need to be assigned to four seats arranged in a line. The N! result tells us that there are 4! = 24 different permutations they can take.

- Number of subsets of {1, 2, 3, ..n} => Each element can be arranged to form a set with itself and the empty element. Therefore, for a set of n elements 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 ... 2 = 2n

#### Counting Examples
- Number of licence plates with two letters followed by three numbers -> 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 3

- Number of licence plates with two letters followed by three numbers -> 2 * 1 * 3 * 2 * 1

- Unordered with repetitions:
    - Number of possible outcomes of 6 rolls of a 6-sided die : For each roll there are 6 possible outcomes. Therefore for 6 rolls, there are a total of 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 * 6 = 66 possible outcomes.
    - In general, Nn, where N is size of sample set, n is the number of experiments.

- Ordered with no repetitions:
How many pairs of people can be chosen from a group of 5 ?
    - We have a total possible arrangement with repetitions 5 * 5 = 25. We can see that there are 5 duplicate pairs ... So we have 25 -5 = 20 possible pairs.

    - In general, we can write this down as N ^ N - N = N  * (N - 1)

    - An easier formula is : N! / (N - n) !

- Unordered sets with no repetitions: ??

### Combinations

- Picking k element subsets out of n elements (n choose k)

### Binomial Probabilities

- P(HTTHTT) = p (1-p) (1-p) p (1-p) (1-p) = p2 * (1-p)4, where p = probability of heads.

- In general, P(particular sequence) = p# heads * (1-p)# tails

- P(particular k-head sequence) = p# heads * (1-p)# tails * (# of k-head sequences), where (# of k-head sequences) is given by the binomial co-efficient (n choose k)

- The p# heads * (1-p)# tails * (n choose k) is the Binomial probability.

# Multinomial Coefficient
- How many possible ways to partition n elements into r different subsets ?
    - n! /  n1! * n2! * n3! * ... nr!

I love GOLD, the flexibility of viewing sessions works well for me as I work full l time. The variety of topics from a very global perspective is wonderful, really connecting the world of breastfeeding! We have lots of opportunity to learn additional information as we connect with each other in the forums and chat rooms, kinda like a big global family. Thanks GOLD for enhancing my knowledge and practice to support breastfeeding families. - Diane T.
I cried, laughed and breastfed while attending the lectures. I loved the conference! It gave me the strength to counsel more moms in difficult cases. As a mother I have more confidence to continue to breastfeeding, my goal before the conference was one year at most but now I'll work my way through the second year too! I feel empowered, I have the knowledge and the information to help me support and guid moms, and share with other counselors. I'm motivated to do my own breastfeeding research in my country. I just LOVED it, it was great!- Afnan A.
Just starting the certification process and so happy to have a program that utilizes technology to broaden our scope and allow for variable schedules! I'll be attending while my littles are away or at nap times. Also have a few local pals registered and we plan to watch and discuss together for a couple live presentations! - Jessica C.
I like that I am half a world away (from nearly every presenter) and still learning in the comfort of my own recliner in my home from experts in the field. I look forward to expanding my knowledge to better support families in low resource areas, where I am currently working. - Dayna H.
"Guten tag" and hello from Germany! This is my first time attending GOLD and I truly enjoyed Dr. Amy Brown's opening session. She is so inspiring and I can't wait to hear from all of the other speakers. I am an RN, IBCLC currently working as a contractor here in Germany with the Air Force's New Parent Support Program. Mothers and children are my ❤ and I feel so blessed to work here with the military families. I know that GOLD will help prepare me to deliver the GOLDEN standard in breastfeeding education and care. What more could I ask for? Perhaps being able to kick back with my coffee and pj's while learning GOLD info..oh wait...GOLD made that happen too! Happy learning everyone! - Tara C.
I'm from Indonesia and it's my second time attending GOLD conference. It was awesome to be able to discuss while the presentation going. Eventhough if I want to watch live, I should be awake at midnight :D So I usually watch live at my bedroom wearing my pyjama, or if I watch recorded version, I like to watch it in cafe. As for the topics, I'm excited to watch all of it, such as Supporting Breastfeeding People in the Legal System, Bridging the Gaps to Provide a Continuum of Care, and of course the Indonesian speaker! - Andini P.
Hi from Canada! This is my second GOLD Lactation Conference. I'm an RN, IBCLC. I work in Public Health and have my own Private Practice. I have learned so much from GOLD presentations and apply my new knowledge when helping my clients. I love that I can attend the conference from the comfort of my own home. I usually catch presentations during my toddler's nap time, or when the kids are in bed for the night. - Tara-Jean T.
This is the most powerful and relevant conference I have attended in years! Thank you for making this possible. Breastfeeding as a Public Health Issue by Amy Brown has changed how I see my community's messages. Loved it!- Rebecca A..
Such a privilege and a joy to give my talk on #BreastfeedingGrief at GOLD - Lactation Online Conference. Thanks to the GOLD team for being so wonderful, and to the delegates--especially all my #lactation peeps who listened. <3 #GOLDLactation2017 #lactationlearning #breastfeeding- Amy S.
I really enjoyed the experience, thank you. I found the way you all went about organising the infrastructure plus the help and support on the day to be outstanding. Thank you for the opportunity. warmly, Carolyn- Carolyn H.

Here's BMW's 'Vision' of the Next 100 Years
BMW recently completed 100 years, and they are celebrating it by showcasing a car from the future!

BMW recently completed 100 years in the automotive industry, and to celebrate it, the company showcased its plans for the next 100 years. What's interesting is that they shared their ideas not only in the form of presentations but also with a car that actually did all of that, well almost.
Called the BMW Vision Next 100, the car certainly looks like it belongs to the future.

BMW says that in the future, cars will be driven autonomously and will (of course) be safer. The first thing that you'll notice is that the car combines sedan and coupe-type styling. What you won't probably notice is that the tyres are covered and they aren't just for aesthetics. When you turn the steering wheel, the body of the car changes shape to give space to the tyre to turn.
The Vision Next 100 also comes with two driving modes – Ease and Boost.
In the Boost mode, the vehicle operations are in the driver's control. The Interior changes to suit the mode of travel and shows important information like ideal driving line, steering point and speed.
In the Ease mode, the vehicle operations are controlled by the car itself with the interior changing dramatically. The steering wheel and centre console retract, the headrests turn to the side, and the seats and door trim merge to form a single unit so that the driver and front-seat passenger can turn towards each other.

Currently, the BMW Vision Next 100 is on a world tour called 'Iconic Impulses', and will make a stop in China, UK and the USA.
In the UK, the Vision Vehicles of BMW Group's British brands, Mini and Rolls-Royce, will also be unveiled. Its last port of call will be Los Angeles, USA, where BMW Motorrad will showcase its Vision Vehicle.


What is a Catastrophic Personal Injury?
Catastrophic injuries are different from temporary injuries because they cause disability and complications for the victim for an extended period of time - often, for the rest of their life. These injuries can occur from vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, defective consumer products, accidents on the work site, or anything in between. In order to recover, an individual may require major surgical operations, years of rehabilitative therapy, and even assisted living care.
It should go without saying that, while these treatment options may be effective, they are certainly not cheap. If you have suffered a severe or permanent injury due to the negligence or wrongful act of another party, you should not be forced to suffer on your own. The Cardoza Law Offices is dedicated to helping obtain the maximum compensation that you are entitled to for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost earnings, and future expenses.
Whatever type of catastrophic injury you have experienced, we understand that it presents unique and difficult challenges that you will need to overcome as you work towards returning to normal life. Our Walnut Creek personal injury lawyers have extensive experience with injury claims, and sympathize with the complications that you and your loved ones are experiencing. From the moment we start work for you, we gather thorough and detailed evidence to investigate your claim and create the strongest possible case for you to receive the highest level of compensation possible.

The Anti-Romantic Child by Priscilla Gilman
July 5th, 2012 | Personal
Unbeknownst to me, Amy Jameson, my long-time and superb editor at A + B Works shared Dare, Dream, Do with author, Priscilla Gilman; Amy had worked with Priscilla at Janklow & Nesbit Associates. Amy's kindness led to Priscilla interviewing me here, and to my reading, rather drinking deeply, from her award-winning book, The Anti-Romantic Child: A Memoir of Unexpected Joy (Harper).
From her website:
As a teacher of romantic poetry who embraced Wordsworth's vision of childhood's spontaneous wonder, Priscilla eagerly anticipated the birth of her first child, certain that he would come "trailing clouds of glory." But as Benjamin grew, his remarkable precocity was associated with a developmental disorder that would dramatically alter the course of Priscilla's dreams.
In The Anti-Romantic Child, a memoir full of lyricism and light, Gilman explores our hopes and expectations for our children, our families, and ourselves—and the ways in which experience may lead us to re-imagine them. Using literature as a touchstone, Gilman reveals her journey through crisis to joy, illuminating the flourishing of life that occurs when we embrace the unexpected. The Anti-Romantic Child is a profoundly moving and compellingly universal book about family, parenthood, and love.
My reflections on the book include:
Growing up is about making choices. As I wrote in Why I Still Dream of Having It All, women often think of themselves as safe harbors, especially within the context of family life, while many men think of themselves as ships, navigating new territory, boldly sailing the sea of life, exploring and pursuing dreams. Though being a harbor is instinctual for many women, according to developmental psychology, we must also learn to navigate uncharged waters. As a consequence, we are often required to make choices that feel Solomonic; we simultaneously feel the tug of our ship full of dreams while trying to keep one foot grounded on the dock of family life. The Anti-Romantic Child beautifully captures this struggle.
Sometimes dreams die. Whenever we dare to dream, we are preparing to birth a new piece of ourselves. Never is this more true than when are about to have a baby. Something wonderful is about to be. But sometime the dream dies. And we are terribly sad. When Priscilla Gilman realized the idyllic, Wordsworthian childhood she had imagined would never be, she acknowledged the pain, and honored her grief. This vital part of the healing process allows us to eventually make meaning of the experience, and to tell our story. After we grieve, we pick ourselves up and dream again, precisely what Priscilla has done.
It often happens that whatever wounds us is instrumental in our healing. Quoting from Ms. Gilman directly, "Measuring the space or distance between Wordsworth's radiant visions and the reality of my experience with Benjamin initially heightened my sense of wrong and feelings of betrayal and disillusionment. I was more vulnerable to experiencing the situation as poignant, heartbreaking, even tragic because I was invested in the mythology of childhood….I
[also] found in Wordsworth a language with which to express both the depth and breadth of my loss and the possibility of its recompense. Wordsworth gave me an elegiac vocabulary. He assuaged my sense of wrong. He gave me solace and comfort."
The best and truest dreams bind us to those we love. Born to a literary agent mother, a drama critic father, and as a former professor of English literature at Yale and Vassar, Priscilla has the bona fides of a prospective bestselling author. Interesting to me, however, that not until she found herself attending to her children, reconciling her romantic vision with the unromantic reality, did this touching memoir of parenting —one that I suspect will resonate with all parents— spilled forth.
There is so much more… such as she makes poetry accessible… Here are just a few of my favorite quotes:
"… a child, more than all other gifts…brings hope with it, and forward looking thoughts." – Wordsworth via @priscillagilman
"Parenting is… about a child prospering under your care…the unfolding and preserving the mystery of self." — @priscillagilman
"A world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul." – Keats v @priscillagilman
"To recognize my [child's] singleness, to make breathings for powers is my primary aspiration as a mother." – @priscillagilman
"May books and nature be their early joy!" – Wordsworth, on children v @priscillagilman
"Our childhood…sits upon a throne that hath more power than all the elements." – Wordsworth v @priscillagilman
"The distance…between me and my child, is no longer a terrifying void, but rather a blessed opening, an aperture of respect and marvel." – @priscillagilman
A poem begins… as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness.. it finds the thought and the thought finds the words. – Robert Frost v @priscillagilman
"the glory and freshness of a dream" – Wordsworth v @priscillagilman
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star…cometh from afar. – Wordsworth v @priscillagilman
Priscilla Gilman received her B.A. summa cum laude and with exceptional distinction and her Ph.D. in English and American literature from Yale University.

From 2006-2011, she worked as a literary agent at Janklow & Nesbit Associates, representing a wide range of literary fiction, inspirational memoir, wellness, and psychology/education books. Gilman writes regularly for The Daily Beast, the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, MORE magazine, and Huff Post Parents. She blogs at www.priscillagilman.com, and maintains an active Facebook page with over 32,000 fans. She lives in New York City with her family.
