How long should it take for a man to call after a first date? August 22, ( not knowing the number was his at the time but found out it was him). but he never replied. Am i being silly waiting around for his call? NML says. May 10, 2007 at 10:22 am . Hi Christy, I wouldn�t wait for his call. It can be difficult to gauge what is taking place in this situation but I don�t advise waiting... We have been going out for only a little while but I feel as if its been a life time with him. He's always making me laugh and I love being with him. I wish I could be with him every passing hour but I really wish I was older so I could become his Mrs..
Stop messaging him all the time if it looks like you�re being taken for granted. Of course, you might not hear from him immediately, but this gives him the chance to message you first. You definitely want to keep busy while you�re trying to make this work.... Make sure that this time, you guys are all on your own. That there are no eyes on you. Text him and start a conversation about movies and then when he says he didn�t see that film you were talking about, suggest you see it together. At home. Make some pop corn and hang out on the couch. Good luck seeing how the movie ends!
Just waiting for him to notice you, come to his senses and ask you out won't take you anywhere, really. You need to take life into your own hands and approach him first. If you are aware of this, and we know you are, and you have been wondering how to start a conversation with your crush, look no further because we have all the answers.
Stop messaging him all the time if it looks like you�re being taken for granted. Of course, you might not hear from him immediately, but this gives him the chance to message you first. You definitely want to keep busy while you�re trying to make this work.


1. First and foremost, Aparajita Priyadarshini Behera comes from a very poor family. Her father Amulya Kumar Behera, 50, is a labourer in Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO). He is on a daily pay roll and is located at IFFCO's Paradip unit in Odisha.
2. Aparajita came into limelight after she secured an all-India rank of 13 in the recently announced Indian Economic Service (IES) examination results. This examination is conducted by Union Public Service Commission and the selected candidates get posting in various Central government ministries and departments, mainly in the department of economic affairs (DEA) under the ministry of finance, NITI Aayog, ministry of commerce and industry and other economic ministries.
3. A post graduate in economics from Utkal University, Odisha, she is currently pursuing a PhD from Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University.
4. Hailing from a village named Mahanangala in Odisha's Kendrapara district, she studied in her village schools before moving out of it to study at Marshaghai college.
5. "Whatever I achieved today is only because of my father. I dedicate my all India job to him", says Aparajita, as quoted in media reports. After all, her father's monthly remuneration is less than Rs 10,000, and he is to finance not just Aparajita but two other children as well.
6. According to reports, she was nervous on the day of her interview, but she says the interview panel was supportive, something that boosted her confidence.
7."I did not believe in shortcut route to success. I read extensively subject wise", she is quoted as saying in one of the reports.


The Lexus RC F GT concept track car and LC 500 Coupé have been on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend.
Positioned between the Lexus RC F production car and the RC F GT3 race car, the GT concept is more than 360kg lighter than the RC F. It has the same 5.0-litre V8 powerplant and eight-speed automatic transmission as the RC F, with some minor tweaks, including a performance exhaust.
With the substantial drop in weight, the RC F GT is likely to better the RC F's 0-62mph time of 4.5sec. It tackled the hill climb at Goodwood along with the RC F GT3, LFA and GS F.
The suspension has been altered to allow more adjustment for different tracks and competitions, while the car's software has been tweaked to help focus its performance for track use.
The concept, first shown in the US earlier this year at the Pikes Peake international hill climb, was created as an example of how the platforms and powertrains of Lexus' F models can be utilised.
The LC 500 Coupé, the first model built on Lexus' GA-L platform, first went on show at the Detroit motor show earlier this year and has made its UK debut at Goodwood.
The RC F Carbon TVD already runs a 4.4 0-62 mph. There is no doubt that yanking stuff out and off of the car will increase acceleration times.
However, the TVD version of the car has already proven itself to be highly track capable. The M4 is a disaster with it torque induced oversteer. There are far too many videos of this car losing control both on and off the track.
I believe it was quite eye-opening for car enthusiasts to learn that the Lexus RC F finished first in its class and overall 24th at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring. It's a grueling track by any comparison, and running it for 24 hours is quite a feat.
I am pleased to see Lexus continuing to produce some of the finest high performance cars in the world. Chalk one up for the aspirated engine! The V8 in the RC F is a masterpiece, and it loves to be cranked up.


Food allergies should never prevent kids from receiving a quality education. Preschools are always willing to cooperate with parents to ensure every child's needs are met, so with adequate communication, your child can safely enjoy their time in class. The following guide explains how to protect your preschooler from food allergies.
Before your child enters any preschools, you'll need to visit the pediatrician. They will give you three signed forms in order to provide detailed medical explanations about your child's food allergies. These include the Medical Authorization form, which gives the school permission to administer prescribed medications to your child; the Emergency Action Plan, which details what to do in case of a reaction; and the Special Dietary Needs Accommodation form, which explains your child's dietary needs. Make sure you're up-to-date on prescriptions for medications such as epinephrine auto-injectors as well.
Reach out to your child's preschool well before the school year begins. Schedule a meeting with the owner, directors, or teachers to discuss any additional details you feel they must know. Turn in the required medical forms while you're there. Ask questions about the food provided by the preschool, existing food allergy policies, and staff training in emergency situations. Together, you should design a Food Allergy Management and Prevention Plan to strategize how caretakers will work to prevent contact with the allergen. If your child needs medicine throughout the year, label it and hand it off to the teachers. Keep in touch with the preschool to get updates on your child's adjustment.
When children start school, their parents won't always be around to protect them. It's important for kids to understand their food allergies and know how to manage them. Teach them to always read food labels, ask what is in an unfamiliar dish, avoid swapping food with others, and find a responsible adult if they're having an allergic reaction. If your child has yet to experience a reaction, describe what it will feel like so they can recognize it when it happens. Talk to your pediatrician to see if your preschooler is ready to self-carry and learn how to use an epinephrine auto-injector.
For parents of children with food allergies, it is critical to choose an early childhood center that will readily accommodate your child's needs. Great Beginnings works closely with parents to offer a safe, welcoming environment for every child in their care. Their comprehensive curriculum targets key areas of child development, from cognitive skills to communication. For information on enrollment or food allergy policies, call (636) 724-5048 for their St. Charles location or (636) 447-4212 for Cottleville, MO. Visit their website to learn about their preschool education program.

Specific Mutation Hinders Healthier Response to Weight Loss Diets, Study Suggests
by Margarida Azevedo | February 20, 2020
A specific variant in the MTNR1B gene influenced the response of obese patients to two low-calorie diets, a recent study found.
People without this mutation, known as rs10830963 G allele, showed greater improvements in several measures of health, including insulin levels, low-density lipoprotein (LDL, the "bad" cholesterol), and weight loss than did those with this G allele variant.
The study, "A circadian rhythm-related MTNR1B genetic variant (rs10830963) modulate body weight change and insulin resistance after 9 months of a high protein/low carbohydrate vs a standard hypocaloric diet," was published in the Journal of Diabetes and its Complications.
A person's circadian rhythms — the natural, biological processes that follow a daily cycle and are found in most living beings — play an important role in the regulation of energy and body weight. Disruptions of these rhythms, like shift work or eating lots of food high in fats, are connected to developing such ills as type 2 diabetes mellitus, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease.
Melatonin, the hormone that induces sleepiness, is well-known for regulating circadian rhythms, and as such is called chronobiotic. Melatonin is also known to play a central role in the regulation, production, and breakdown of adipose (fat) tissue.
The effects of melationin are induced by two protein receptors, melatonin receptor 1 (MT1, coded by the MTNR1A gene) and melatonin receptor 2 (MT2, coded by MTNR1B).
The variant rs10830963 is one of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) — changes in a single nucleotide, the building blocks of DNA — recently identified in the MTNR1B gene. It has been associated with altered circadian rhythm and melatonin actions, and with type 2 diabetes and body weight.
Researchers in Spain evaluated the effect of alterations in rs10830963 on changes in body weight and insulin resistance in response to two different diets — a high protein/low carbohydrate diet (HP diet) and a standard severe hypocaloric diet (low calorie, S diet) — given over nine months.
A total of 270 people with obesity were included in the study, with a mean age 49.4. Their mean body mass index (BMI) was 35.1 kg/m2 (18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal) and their mean weight was 91.8 kg (about 202 lbs).
Each person inherits two alleles (or copies) of each gene, one from each parent. In the case of the rs10830963 mutation, the G allele — which means having a guanine nucleotide (a building block of DNA and RNA) in the mutated spot — is the gene copy previously linked with body weight.
Among the people, 143 (52.9%) did not have the G allele (both copies were C, for cytosine), 105 had one copy of the G allele (38.9%), and 22 patients had two G allele copies in rs10830963 (8.2%).
Results of CG and GG groups were combined, with CC analyzed separately. Patients were assigned to one of the diets, with 137 to the HP diet and 133 to the S diet. Baseline calorie intake was identical in both diets.
In both diet groups, improvements were seen in fat-related measurements (weight, waist circumference, and BMI) and in lower blood pressure. This change was greatest in non-G allele carriers (CC group).
After weight loss with either diet, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, insulin, triglycerides and insulin resistance improved (decreased) only in the CC group. Both diet groups had a significant decrease in blood levels of leptin, a hormone that decreases appetite.
These findings "showed the association of rs10830963 MTNR1B polymorphism [variant] with body weight loss induced by two different hypocaloric diet and provided additional evidence on metabolic response such as cholesterol, insulin resistance and fasting insulin levels," the scientists wrote.
Margarida Azevedo Margarida graduated with a BS in Health Sciences from the University of Lisbon and a MSc in Biotechnology from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST-UL). She worked as a molecular biologist research associate at a Cambridge UK-based biotech company that discovers and develops therapeutic, fully human monoclonal antibodies.

A dissertation topic is more than a phrase to appear at the top of your paper. It gives the reader a reason to peruse through the rest of your work. It also gives an indication of the extent to which you intend to explore a particular area. Topics further indicate your interest or passion in a particular discipline or area of study. What rules should you follow when selecting a topic?
It should be narrow enough to allow full exposition and exploration of the idea. However, it should not be too restrictive as to deny you the opportunity to fully clarify issues in biology. The idea is to set reasonable boundaries that will enable you to fulfill your research intentions.
Every academic activity should be geared towards solving a scholarly or social problem. This justifies the time and resources used. Chose a topic that is relevant to your area of study and which resonates with the needs of humanity.
Everyone wants to read a paper that is interesting. Interest can be aroused by the perspective you adapt or the words you choose. It is possible to base your dissertation on a common topic yet attract a lot of interest because of the wording of your topic.
With so many papers in biology, scholars are looking for something new. It defeats sense to write in an area where thousands of papers are available. Look for a unique topic that will be approached with curiosity by the most experienced biologist.
Words are the channel you will use to express your topic. These words must be captivating and ignite the desire to read beyond the title. They should be relevant to biology to avoid ambiguity.
Here is a list of excellent biology dissertation ideas to consider.

Crypto & Blockchain / Cosmos Price Predictions: Will the ATOM Crypto Surge to New Record Highs?
Cosmos Price Predictions: Will the ATOM Crypto Surge to New Record Highs?
Cosmos approached new all-time highs today to cap off a solid week of gains
January 7, 2022 By Shrey Dua, InvestorPlace Assistant News Writer Jan 7, 2022, 2:45 pm EST January 7, 2022
Cosmos (CCC:ATOM-USD) is capping off a stellar week for the crypto with more strong gains. The ATOM crypto was up nearly 7% today as part of a 25% increase early into the year, approaching a new all-time high. Cosmos price predictions are flying as investors attempt to explain its recent heat-up.
Source: Stanslavs via Shutterstock
What has Cosmos climbing lately?
Cosmos' recent surge in demand is likely attributable to a few different developments. Last month, it rolled out Evmos, an application-agnostic chain connected to the crypto. The protocol allows Ethereum-based (CCC:ETH-USD) assets and projects to easily move between the Cosmos architecture. This is a substantial addition to the ecosystem, as there was previously no interconnection between the two blockchains.
This likely caused a chain reaction (no pun intended) of positive momentum. On Dec. 29, the Cointelegraph crypto evaluation tool, VORTECS, picked up a bullish outlook on the crypto. As such, one could view its recent growth as a product of the strong market indicator. In the six days following the increased VORTECS score, ATOM saw a 67% increase.
Cosmos' claim to fame is its intent to solve structural issues plaguing many of the world's largest cryptos. Per CoinMarketCap, the ATOM crypto attempts to solve "'slow, expensive, unscalable and environmentally harmful' proof-of-work protocols, like those used by Bitcoin, by offering an ecosystem of connected blockchains."
With Cosmos currently sitting at around $41 per coin, let's see what the experts think about the crypto's long-term potential.
Cosmos Price Predictions
Wallet Investor believes this coin will continue to see strong growth this year. They have a one-year forecast of $56.64 per coin and a five-year price target of $143.89.
Coin Price Forecast is unabashedly bullish on the ATOM crypto as well. They have a year-end price target of $84.06, for a 101% year-to-date (YTD) increase. Interestingly, for 2023, they believe the coin will likely peak mid-year at $109.28 per coin before slipping back to $98.62 to end the year.
Finally, Cryptonewsz is surprisingly bearish on the coin. They have a 2022 price target of $38, dollars less than its current price. By 2023, they believe the coin will trend around $42, foreseeing interference from government regulation.

that this can help to bring more happiness, joy and love into your life!
This idea of one-ness or interconnected-ness as it is commonly referred to is discussed throughout many different spiritual traditions and religions throughout the world. It is the idea that at the most fundamental energetic level, we are not actually separate from one another as we might otherwise think.
When we combine an understanding of oneness with love & compassion, helping others becomes a very natural and satisfying way to live. At a deeper level, helping others can bring us many different rewards as we accrue the benefits of much karmic merit.
To do virtuous and loving actions and to make this a cornerstone of ones life journey is to really bring together all of the above philosophies. We become better able to walk towards the light and more able to connect with love, light and wisdom as we accrue many kinds of meritorious karma for future states of happiness.
Natural & sustainable eating has become a very important part of our way of life and it is something that we are very passionate about. Whether it be on a food preparation level, where delicious and wholesome foods and combined to enhance health or whether be talking about the types of food we are eating. Let us explore here the idea of pure nourishment and sustainable eating in the hope to inspire others towards sharing our passion for great food!
To live with love & compassion is perhaps the most important of all teachings, something which brings much wisdom and understanding into our consciousness. In these higher frequencies, we can feel peace, harmony and love all around us as we very naturally radiate these energies outward for others to benefit from.
This can be seen as an extension to helping others however at this time of imbalance, we feel that helping our Earth deserves a special mention here. And of course, we can help our Earth is so many different ways. For some, helping may mean moving to a more natural and sustainable way of life whereas for others, this helping will be done on an energetic or vibrational level.
Perhaps one of the most important things to remember about suffering is the idea that it helps us to become more purified as we release many kinds of negativities, impurities or difficult emotions from within. Unfortunately, during this time here on Earth, there is much suffering so we hope to offer you our own perspectives in the hope that it can help you in your life.

Intelligent Travel
Sleep in an Italian Cave Hotel
Stephanie Ostroff adds another spot to our unending travel wish list: an Italian cave hotel.
Past and present exist in harmony at Sextantio Albergo Diffuso Le Grotte Della Civita, where caves transformed into upscale hotel rooms seem to speak to the peasant enclave that once called them home. Located at i Sassi di Matera, A UNESCO World Heritage Site sandwiched between the heel and the toe of Italy's boot, the hotel has managed to embrace the possibilities of sustainable tourism by holding onto its heritage.
The 18 guestrooms, open since May 2009, were part of an organized community as early as the Bronze Age. Rooms carved into tufa rock and enclosed by walls formed from excavated blocks were the first living spaces, according to UNESCO. Later, vaulted rooms developed, and home clusters shared courtyards, called vicinati, and facilities such as cisterns. Over time, this village cradled among the rocks expanded, with roofs of some houses serving as streets for the houses above them. The Renaissance brought the addition of more sophisticated architecture, including garden terraces and elegant balustrades.
The golden days of the Sassi came to a close when the 18th century ushered in an era of agricultural crisis and overpopulation. Those who lived in the cave dwellings often were extremely poor and suffered ill health, thanks in part to the fact that animals and humans lived there side-by-side. The publication of Carlo Levi's novel, Christ Stopped at Eboli, in 1945 brought the abject poverty of Matera into the national limelight. Seven years later, legislation transferred the struggling peasants of the Sassi to a new housing development, leaving the cave structures abandoned.
Today the caves of the civita–the ancient town center–provide luxury hospitality with a twist. At Le Grotte Della Civita, travelers have to make due without television, in-room fridges and plush décor. Instead, rooms are filled with furniture crafted from antique wood by local artisans, and beds are outfitted with linens from centuries-old wedding chests. Period terracotta tiles and stone cover the floors. In creating a hotel at the site of the Sassi, entrepreneurs Margareta Berg and Daniele Kihlgren wanted to let the authenticity of the setting shine through. Their hope was to "not betray the 'soul' of the building."
Furniture is built into the walls of the grottoes to maintain a sense of congruity with the caves' natural layout. Iron rings for livestock are still in place. External walls remain unpainted, and internal walls have been minimally altered, using original nails and artisanal techniques.
Getting There: A one-night stay at Sextantio Albergo Diffuso Le Grotte Della Civita starts at 275 Euros for a classic room and 494 Euros for a suite. For more information visit http://www.legrottedellacivita.com/. Photos courtesy of the hotel.

Trump adviser says DACA recipients 'are not children,' advocates mass deportations
"There is nothing wrong with asking people to go home."
Aaron Rupar Twitter Sep 5, 2017, 10:25 am

During a Monday morning interview on Fox News, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach asserted that DACA recipients "are not children" and made a case that "there is nothing wrong" with asking people who have lived in the United States since they were young children to "go home."
Kobach was responding to questions about how he balances "the emotional side" of the DACA debate with his own hard-line views, and whether he's concerned that President Trump's plan to announce an end to DACA could separate families.
"Well, let's remember that one of the things that the open borders side always says is, 'Oh, they're just children,'" Kobach said. "No… the median age is 25 of a DACA illegal alien, and they can be up to 36 years old and still be getting the amnesty, and they claim to have come in before the age of 16, so first of all they are not children."
House Republican thinks undocumented immigrants brought to U.S. as kids should turn in their parents
Steve King embraces Gestapo tactics.
Kobach went on to suggest that more deportations, not less, are the appropriate response to concerns about splitting families apart.
"If we're worried about keeping families together, then the illegal alien parents who brought them here should also be removed to the home country along with the DACA recipient alien," he said. "There is nothing wrong with asking people to go home, and if they've been able to violate our laws for 10 years or more, well, congratulations, you got a huge benefit from the American taxpayer, you got the best high school education in the western hemisphere, but now it's time to go home and if you want to get in line and try to come in legally with those hundreds of thousands of your fellow countrymen who are waiting to do it the right way."
Along with Vice President Mike Pence, Kobach is chair of the Trump administration's Commission on Election Integrity — a group that's stoking fears about voter fraud with the goal of a national purge of state voting rolls. In June, Kobach said that he's had "the honor of personally advising President Trump, both before the election and after the election, on how to reduce illegal immigration."
While Kobach's comments suggest he'd be happy if the program came to an end, President Trump is trying to project a more compassionate image, suggesting in a tweet that Congress should save the program.
Congress, get ready to do your job – DACA!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2017
During another part of his interview Monday on Fox News, Kobach argued that DACA hurts American workers.
"It's a tough job market," he said. "Those in Congress saying the president should not get rid of DACA amnesty should remember our young U.S. citizens are having a tough time. Why would you give amnesty to one million more aliens to compete with them?"
But a number of recent studies have concluded that the U.S. economy would be negatively impacted if Trump ends DACA. Roughly 95 percent of the nearly 800,000 DACA recipients are either working or in school.

Fifty-one elected to the 99-member Assembly and 25 of the 33-member Senate are on record in favor of electioneering disclosure legislation that would require special interest groups that sponsor phony election-season "issue ads" to reveal how much they spend and who is paying for the advertising as well as follow existing state limits on campaign contributions. This not only bodes well for passage of disclosure legislation but also legislative endorsement of new disclosure rules the Government Accountability Board will consider and may approve as soon as next Tuesday.
There also is demonstrated majority support in the new Legislature for the Impartial Justice bill creating a system of publicly financed state Supreme Court elections, with 50 members of the Assembly and 22 members of the Assembly already on record in favor of the reform.
Ten members of the new Legislature, including eight newly elected lawmakers, have not taken a public position on the two reforms. Of the 10, eight are in the Assembly and two are newly elected senators. Six of the 10 are Republicans and four are Democrats.
The Democracy Campaign is co-sponsoring a forum on "Justice, Money & Politics" to be held at the University of Wisconsin Law School on Tuesday, November 18 at 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
The discussion is timely as another state Supreme Court election looms on the horizon, and everyone is wondering if next spring's race will go the way of the last two high court campaigns, which were easily the costliest and ugliest in state history.
Wisconsin is not the only place where court races are being overrun by partisan and special interest influences. Michigan just went through what is arguably the worst Supreme Court election yet. To see some of the ads, go here, here, here, here, here and here.
Tuesday's election results were historic, no doubt about it. But few know there was a landslide vote on Election Day that had nothing to do with who takes up residence in the White House, and the public came out the big winner. For the whole story, go here.

Research Series
Advocates Network
Outreach and Partnerships
Our Generation for Inclusive Peace
An intersectional feminist youth organization working to diversify peace and security spaces.
OGIP envisions a future where the voices and perspectives of young people, particularly young women, are centered in peace and security spaces. In this future, policy and practice are grounded in feminist approaches with the equitable reformation of power and gender dynamics as essential requirements to inclusive and sustainable peace.
OGIP strives to make current structures, policy, and practice in peace and security spaces more inclusive, intersectional, and decolonized through our three pillar approach. Engaging with Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) and the Youth, Peace, and Security (YPS) agendas, OGIP amplifies the experiences and perspectives of young and diverse people to challenge exclusive spaces and push these agendas further. OGIP believes in interdisciplinary, feminist research, outreach and advocacy as essential tools for advancing inclusive peace and security. By integrating young voices into peace and security conversations, we develop responsive and relevant agendas that reflect the concerns of younger generations.
The Three
OGIP is supported by 3 pillars of work:
Harnessing research to diversify and advance conversations on peace and security with contributions from young people in differing formats, including OGIP's research series and blog.
Growing our Youth Advocates Network, amplifying diverse voices in peace and security, and generating policy recommendations to challenge exclusionary structures and promote meaningful participation.
Outreach & Partnerships
Engaging with diverse organizations and individuals working in the field of peace and security through a youth-driven and feminist perspective.
Youth is formally defined and understood as a transitional period from childhood to adulthood, often characterized as a period where an individual's levels of independence, both personal and financial, are growing, though this definition fluctuates between different organizations and scholars. In the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250 (2015) on Youth, Peace and Security, youth is defined as 18-29 years old with the recognition that there are differing definitions at the national and international level.
OGIP defines youth as up to the age of 35 with acknowledgment of the flexibility of the concept. OGIP accepts the inclusion of youth being in a "transition period" as youth is a time of great change and development, though OGIP asserts that this transitionary state equates to youth being unable to fully participate in policies which impact their future. Youth have a wide variety of valid experience and legitimate engagements and should be continually able to contribute and have their perspectives respected. Committing to meaningful engagement with young people demonstrates the value of diverse and unique perspectives; in the context of peace and security, this is about supporting inclusive, generational change and what this change means for the WPS and YPS agendas.

Non-European nationals may be able to apply to come to the UK as the dependent child or adult dependent relative of a British citizen or person with settled status, refugee leave or humanitarian protection. Settled status means having been given permission to settle in the UK permanently, also known as Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). The parent of a child or family member of a migrant worker already here may also be eligible to apply for a visa.
DEPENDENT CHILD VISAS – the dependent child of a British citizen or a person with settled status can apply for permission to enter and/or remain in the UK temporarily or permanently. To qualify the Home Office must be satisfied that the child is under 18, not leading an independent life, not married or in a civil partnership and has not formed an independent family unit. There are several additional requirements, with more for adopted children.
If the parent of the dependent child applies to enter or remain in the UK as a partner or parent, they must meet a financial requirement. In all other cases the parent will need to show they can accommodate the child without help from public funds. In some cases, depending on the status of the parent(s) settlement, the child may need to apply as a points-based system (PBS) dependent.
ADULT DEPENDENT VISAS – as the parent, grandparent, sibling or child over the age of 18 of a British citizen or a person with settled status in the UK, you can only apply for permission to come here in exceptional circumstances, ie; where you need long-term personal care that your UK sponsor can provide. The application must be made from outside the UK and a visa obtained before travelling. Imaginghealthcare pharmacy customer service called me when I explained in comments field of my order that about the inability to see the words or cursor or actually very hard to write anything. The pleasant female voice politely and kindly asked me about my disease and my doctor's recommendations. She advised me a dosage and a number of pills to save and said my order would be given priority and shipped as soon as possible.
THE PARENT OF A CHILD IN THE UK – as the parent of a child who is a British citizen or settled in the UK, you can apply for permission to enter or stay here. You will need to show that you have sole responsibility for the child, or at the very least access rights. You must also show that you can maintain yourself without relying on public funds, together with suitability and English language requirements. If you meet all the requirements you will be given temporary permission to remain in the UK for 30 months. You will be eligible to stay for a further 30 months if you continue to meet the requirements and after 5 years you can apply for ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain).
If you are outside the UK you must obtain your visa before travelling. If you are already in the UK you will be eligible so long as you are not on a visitor visa or on temporary admission, permission to stay was not given for a period of less than 6 months (unless as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner) and you are not in breach of the Immigration Rules (overstaying for less than 28 days will not be taken into account).
FAMILY MEMBERS OF MIGRANT WORKERS – as the partner or dependent child (under 18) of a migrant who is in or coming to the UK under most categories of the points-based system, you can apply for a visa to join them here as a PBS dependent. You will need to show that you intend to live with the migrant worker, your relationship is genuine, or for children, you have not formed an independent family unit or leading an independent life. The migrant worker will also need to prove that they can support you without relying on public funds.
Family visa applications can be complex and using the services of an immigration expert is highly recommended.


In the playoff mix for a second straight year, the Baltimore Orioles made the biggest move on a quiet trade-deadline day, acquiring Bud Norris to keep pace with the Boston Red Sox.
Hoping to catch the NL West-leading Dodgers, the Arizona Diamondbacks filled a hole in their bullpen Wednesday by sending struggling 20-game winner Ian Kennedy to San Diego for lefty reliever Joe Thatcher.
Boston put the pressure on Baltimore by picking up 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Peavy from the Chicago White Sox less than 24 hours earlier in a three-team trade. The deal was finalized quickly in part because the Detroit Tigers were eager to protect themselves in case shortstop Jhonny Peralta is suspended for his involvement in the Biogenesis performance-enhancing drugs scandal.
"The frank reality is that I do not know what is going to happen with Jhonny, but with this move, we now feel well protected if there is a long suspension," Tigers general manager David Dombrowski said.
With all eyes on the Yankees because of Alex Rodriguez's likely suspension by Major League Baseball for his role in the wide-ranging drug case, New York never could work out a deal with the Phillies for corner infielder Michael Young, who is staying - for now - with Philadelphia.
San Francisco also held onto left-hander Javier Lopez and the Los Angeles Angels kept second baseman Howie Kendrick after sending Alberto Callaspo to Oakland late Monday.
Other than a few other minor swaps Wednesday, baseball's executives did much of their work in the weeks leading up to the 4 p.m. EDT non-waiver trade cutoff.
"In general I just think everybody was dealing with a relative level of frustration knowing that the strength wasn't there, the bona fide help, per se, across the board was going to be very tough to fulfill their needs," Giants general manager Brian Sabean said after the deadline passed.
The busy Cubs sent Alfonso Soriano to the Yankees, Matt Garza to Texas, Scott Feldman to Baltimore and Carlos Marmol to the Dodgers. Francisco Rodriguez, Marc Rzepczynski, Callaspo, Scott Downs and Jesse Crain also switched teams this month.
The NL Central-leading Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals and the struggling World Series champion Giants were among several teams that chose to stand pat Wednesday in a tepid market.
In the midst of a revival that has an entire city brimming with Bucs fever, Pirates general manager Neal Huntington reluctantly held back from making any deals.
"We talk a lot about, we don't want to do something stupid," Huntington said. "We were willing to do something stupid, we just didn't want to do anything insane."
Teams can make trades for the rest of the season, but it gets riskier. Players must first pass through waivers, meaning they can be claimed by another club before a deal takes place.
For a player to be eligible for the postseason with his new team, swaps must be completed before Aug. 31.
On Wednesday, Houston also sent outfielder Justin Maxwell to Kansas City and the Dodgers picked up backup catcher Drew Butera from Minnesota and sent him to the minors.
Also, Seattle traded minor league infielder Robert Andino to the Pirates for a player to be named or cash.
The young Astros, with the worst record in baseball at 35-70, dealt reliever Jose Veras - to Detroit on Monday.
Norris only had to walk down the hall to join his new team with Houston in Baltimore. Outfielder L.J. Hoes, one of two prospects sent to Houston, was initially in the Orioles' lineup but ended up getting the start for the Astros. Class-A left-hander Josh Hader was the other player in the deal.
A 28-year-old right-hander, Norris helps fortify a rotation that will be without injured Jason Hammel for at least the next two weeks.
In his fifth big league season, Norris is 6-9 with a 3.93 ERA in 21 starts this year. He has a lifetime record of 34-46 and is under team control through 2015.
"I'm excited for the future," Norris said. "I pitched my way into this situation to be traded and help out a team. This (Baltimore) team is a young club, they know how to contend. They had an amazing year last year. I just want to be any piece of the puzzle I can to help this team keep pushing to the World Series."
Baltimore began Wednesday five games back of Boston in the AL East and in the second wild-card position.
The Diamondbacks have fallen 3½ games behind the surging Dodgers and needed lefty relief help. Thatcher is 3-1 with a 2.10 ERA in 50 games this season. He has limited left-handed batters to a .215 average.
"It's exciting to get traded. It's a big deal. It brings excitement to be in a pennant race," Thatcher said. "That is all you ask for, is to win. I'm looking forward to getting over there and helping out and doing whatever they need from me."
The Diamondbacks also got 23-year-old right-hander Matt Stites, who is 2-2 with a 2.08 ERA and 14 saves in 46 games with Double-A San Antonio.
Kennedy, 21-4 two seasons ago, is 3-8 with a 5.23 ERA in 21 starts and hasn't won a game in two months.
He's expected to start Sunday at Petco Park against the New York Yankees, the team that took him in the first round of the June 2006 draft.

Today on PBT Extra Kay Adams first asks me about the news of the day — the Knicks being without Tyson Chandler for 4-6 weeks with a fractured fibula. Let's just say, it's not good for their defense, but they can survive this if they start to play Carmelo Anthony more at the four again.
Then we get on to the fun stuff, previewing two good Thursday night matchups. First we talk about how Miami might try to deal with the Clippers high-powered offense (we didn't get to the other topic, that the Clips have shown no signs of dealing with an offense like Miami). Next, we talk Dwight Howard's motivation and how defense is key when the Rockets take on the Lakers.

VIDEO: Bobcats Outlast Canucks in Overtime Victory
Although the outcome was never certain, the Lloydminster Bobcats outlasted the Calgary Canucks for a 2-1 shootout victory on Sunday afternoon at the Max Bell Centre in Calgary, AB.
It was the Canucks who got off to a quick start during the matinee as Andrew Marshall swatted a rebound past Bobcats goaltender Pierce Diamond just 0:32 into the game to give the home team the lead.
The Bobcats were able to strike back later in the period on a man advantage as Ryan Chynoweth picked up a rebound off the pads of Canucks net minder Logan Drackett and slid it home to even the score. The play started with Kris Spriggs finding Morgan Messenger backdoor, who couldn't fool Drackett but the puck then found Chynoweth. This was Chynoweth's first goal as a Bobcat, joining teammates Griffin Mumby, Stefan Wood, and Eric Benshadle who all achieved the feat Saturday night in Okotoks. Chynoweth now sits one goal back of Okotoks forward Matt McNair for the league lead in power play goals, with 12 on the season. Overall, Chynoweth has now reached 20 goals on the season and 35 points.
From there, neither side would strike again as both teams settled into a conservative game on the Olympic-sized ice, keeping shots to the outside while Drackett and Diamond had an answer for the few high risk opportunities that came up.
Former Bobcat Josh Giacomin had two golden opportunities to end it in the third period and again in overtime as he found himself in alone, but Diamond was able to come up with the stop both times.
Conversely, several Bobcats players had grade A scoring chances in close on Drackett, but were unable to break the tie.
After overtime settled nothing, Kris Spriggs was given the nod to open the shootout. Spriggs delivered a goal for the Cats with a forehand to backhand move, lifting the puck underneath the cross bar. From that point forward, nobody else would find the net as both Noah Bauld and Christian Lloyd for the Bobcats, and Marshall, Giacomin, and Ben Assad for the Canucks failed to score.
With the one, the Bobcats were able to make it a four-point weekend in three games through Southern Alberta.
The Lloydminster power play has now found the back of the net in four straight games, as the Bobcats went one for three on the power play today. The Canucks failed to strike on their three opportunities.
Diamond picked up his tenth AJHL victory, turning aside 22 of 23 shots faced. At the other end, Drackett stopped 23 of 24 before being beat by Spriggs in the shootout.
The Cats will now return home to face the Spruce Grove Saints on Friday night at the Civic Centre.

I voted against granting municipal consent to the Southwest LRT project when it came before committee, and I plan to vote against it again at the full Council this Friday.
This was a tough decision to come to, because I strongly support transit. I strongly support light rail. In fact, I strongly support the Southwest LRT project in concept, and many of the details of the project as proposed. Our region needs to build out a network of high-quality transit options that will help us address climate change, increase commuter choice, fuel economic development, and more. This line will benefit my constituents, Minneapolis and the region. We are decades behind our peer cities in this work.
But there are three problems with the project that have led me to withhold my support: the process, the lack of commitment to equity, and the lack of commitment to making real connections to the dense urban neighborhoods that this line can and should serve.
On the process: I think it's clear by now that the process that the Met Council has followed on this project has been abysmal. Promise after promise was made to Minneapolis, and broken. Our consent to this alignment was explicitly contingent on the freight rail being relocated. Time after time, Minneapolis has been forced to compromise on a firmly held principle in order to prevent the project from failing completely. And this process has been bad to the end: the Council is being asked to give municipal consent before the final Environmental Impact Statement has been released. This is why it was so important that the Council adopted the staff direction Council Members Bender, Palmisano, Yang and myself worked on, authorizing the City Attorney's office to begin litigation if the as-yet-unreleased SDEIS reveal unforeseen impacts to the water quality in the lakes, even if that means halting the LRT project.
On equity: Mayor Hodges is correct that the existing agreements with the Met Council do not achieve an outcome on equity that is any different than the Met Council's standard operating procedure. The response to concerns about resolving Met Transit connection and service problems to North Minneapolis have not been fully addressed. Advocates for more community benefits related to equity have been less than satisfied with the Met council response so far. We are being asked to trust that this outcome will be developed, but the process on this project thus far has not inspired much faith. This is why it was so important that the Council (led by CMs Reich and Glidden) directed our staff to work with community leaders on these equity concerns and report back to the Council in September.
On transit access: the Met Council has not formally committed to taking the actions that will ensure that this new transit investment serves the real population density of south and southwest Minneapolis. There are good things about the Kenilworth alignment: it will be fast, not require expensive tunnels, and interline well with the Green Line. But the one major problem with this alignment is that it does not go where most of the people who could be served by it live. This is not a self-correcting problem. It will require the Met Council to take concrete actions, make additional transit investments, and support transit investments by others, like streetcars along the Midtown Greenway. The Met Council has not committed to these improvements, and they should.
I will note that I supported several of the other actions taken by the Council, not only on the two above staff directions, but to preserve the public ownership of the freight rail corridor, and on the Memorandum of Understanding that has improved this project greatly from the version that was presented to the Council in July.
By joining a few of my colleagues in voting no, rather than having a unanimous vote of support from the Council, I hope that I am helping to send a signal to the Met Council. I know that my concerns are shared by many of my colleagues, many of whom will be voting yes. This process was deeply flawed. The SDEIS should be finished. The equity and transit access questions should be answered. These things should be completed before municipal consent is asked for or granted.
In conclusion, I think it is important that we as a community learn from these experiences. I hope that the lessons from this will help as we grapple with the Bottineau LRT line and more rail transit projects in the future. My hope is that by expressing these valid, broadly-shared concerns about this project's process and outcomes and voting no, I will help ensure that these sorts of concerns are taken more seriously in future projects. There is more work to do and I intend to use my position to continue to address concerns, push for equity and better transit access, and work to preserve and even improve our parks, lakes, and trails.


New religious regulations take effect in China Thursday, prompting international and local religious leaders to urge Chinese faithful to learn how to legally defend themselves.
Ying Fuk-tsang, director of The Chinese University of Hong Kong's divinity school, urged Chinese Christians to avail themselves of details about the new regulations and about their legal options should they face unfair treatment from Communist authorities, according to Crux Now. Ying joins a host of international religious leaders and human rights activists who have voiced major concern over the new regulations, which have only been available in draft form to the public since 2014, until now.
Ying told UCANews that the new regulations would impose harsher restrictions on house churches that are part of China's underground church, officially sanctioned religious groups, and "gray church" groups, which are churches that the government sanctions but has not officially licensed. The degree to which the Chinese government will monitor and otherwise restrict these groups depends, according to Ying, on how mid and low-level communist officials choose to interpret and apply the new regulations. That, Ying said, is why it is important for Christians to arm themselves with knowledge of exactly what the regulations require of them and what legal recourse they have in the event of discrimination.
The regulations also sparked the ire of the international group Human Rights Watch. The group's China director, Sophie Richardson, berated the Vatican for choosing to acquiesce to a deal over bishops appointments by the Chinese government despite the fact that China is now poised to further oppress the Catholic church via their new regulations.
"Why would the leadership of a major world faith opt to relinquish the power to choose its own spiritual representatives to a government that has long imprisoned and punished those who fought for religious freedom?" Richardson said, according to UCANews.
The German ambassador to China, Michael Clauss, also raised concerns over the new regulations in 2017 when he demanded China's release of Bishop Peter Shao Zumin, whom government officials kidnapped and detained for refusing to join the Communist Party controlled Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association.
Richardson echoed Clauss' sentiment in stronger terms, and urged the Vatican to resist giving into any of the Chinese government's demands in the face of the new restrictions.
"The Vatican should not take on faith any offers from Beijing until it offers religious freedom to all across China," Richardson added.

Sciatica is a pain that shoots along the sciatic nerve, radiating through the buttocks and down the back of the leg and as far as the foot. The two sciatic nerves (one on each side of the lower body) are the longest in the human nervous system, running all the way from the lower back through the thighs and calves to the feet.
Sciatica is caused by different types of pressure on the sciatic nerve in the lower back or buttocks. It can also be the result of damage to the nerve roots that feed into the sciatic nerve. Sciatica is usually felt only on one side of the body. The pain can occur along the entire length of the sciatic nerve.
Pressure on the sciatic nerve can have many causes, some serious and some more minor. Sciatica may be the result of something as simple as bad posture, muscle strain or spasm, pregnancy, being overweight, wearing high heels, or sleeping on a mattress that is too soft. More seriously, it can result from pressure exerted on the sciatic nerve or its nerve roots by a slipped disc in the back.
You may be at increased risk of sciatica if you have a job that involves heavy lifting, twisting your back, or sitting for lengthy periods of time. Age and diabetes also contribute to the risk. As you age, the discs in your back begin to deteriorate. Diabetes can increase the risk of nerve damage.
In some cases, sciatica is due to nerve inflammation caused by a form of arthritis, or is caused by the squeezing of the sciatic nerve by a tumour wrapped around the spinal cord in the lower back (the lumbar spine).
The spinal cord is a soft bundle of nerves that starts at the base of the brain and runs down the middle of the back. It is the main pathway for communication between the brain and the rest of the body. The cord is covered by the protective spinal column (the vertebrae). Nerves enter and exit the spinal cord all the way down its length, passing through small openings between each vertebra. Nerve roots also stick out through these openings, exchanging nerve signals with the rest of the body.
The vertebrae are separated from each other by discs made of cartilage, a substance like bone but softer. Each disc has a tough outside layer and a soft inside part that acts as a shock absorber, cushioning the vertebrae when the body moves around. If the disc is damaged by injury or through aging, the inner part can bulge or slip through the outer layer. The "extruded" or "herniated" inner part of the disc may then compress or inflame a nerve root sticking out between two adjacent vertebrae. The disc may even injure the nerve root. If this happens in the lower back area, it leads to pain travelling down the sciatic nerve in the leg.
Osteoarthritis is another common source of nerve root damage that may cause sciatica. Osteoarthritis is characterized by the formation of bone spurs (bits of protruding bone) that may press on the nerve roots. Sometimes, older people may also develop a condition called spinal stenosis, where the space around the spinal cord narrows and squeezes nerves. More rarely, infections like meningitis or spinal cord tumours can affect the nerves. It's also possible for the sciatic nerve to be compressed further outside the spinal column in the pelvis or buttocks.
The main symptom of sciatica is pain that radiates through the buttock and down the back of the thigh and leg. The pain may stop below the knee or continue right down to the foot. Pain from sciatica can change: it can be shooting or burning, sharp or dull, non-stop, or intermittent. Pain is usually only felt on one side of the body. Some people complain of intense and acute pain. Others experience a numb and weak feeling in the parts of their leg where it hurts. This may sometimes indicate more serious neurological problems. Sneezing, coughing, straining, bending, or lifting can make it worse.
In rare cases, people suffering sciatica as a result of a slipped disc are confined to bed for a few days. Another uncommon situation is disturbance of bowel and bladder control as a result of pressure on the nerves in the lower portion of the spine. Consult your doctor immediately if this occurs.
Symptoms will help a doctor make the diagnosis. Your doctor will check the spine for areas of tenderness. Tests for sensation, coordination, muscle strength, and reflexes may be performed, especially when a slipped disc is suspected. Your doctor may use the straight-leg-raise test (lifting the leg to an angle of more than 60 degrees without bending the knee) to help locate the point of pain.
Other tests may include an X-ray, or scans like computed assisted tomography (CT or CAT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Sciatica can be relieved by treating symptoms and any specific cause that exists, such as a slipped disc. Your doctor may prescribe muscle relaxants, pain relievers, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and inflammation. Sometimes, symptoms may be decreased by using medications that decrease the efficiency of the nerves sending the pain message.
Moderate exercise is recommended if pain is minimal. When the symptoms have lessened, therapy to strengthen abdominal muscles and back muscles is important to prevent a return of symptoms.
Sleep on a firm mattress on your side or back with knees bent.
During bad attacks, sleep with a pillow under or between your knees.
Muscle spasms may be treated by applying heat or cold to the affected area.
Adjust the height of chairs so your feet are flat on the floor and the knees are a little higher than the hips.
Keep your feet flat on the floor and do not cross your legs when sitting.
Sit in chairs that have firm back support and sit up straight against the back of the chair.

It took the Reds 114 games to notch their 50th win last season on August 13 and it placed them fourteen games below the .500 mark. While owning first place in the NL Central, the Reds won their 50th game of this season against the Colorado Rockies on Friday night in front of 37,188 eager Reds fans. Unlike 2009, the Reds accomplished fifty wins only 91 games into the season and the .500 mark is nine games behind them.
Searching for their first postseason berth since a one-game playoff against the Mets in 1999, and their first winning season since 2000 (85-77), the Reds will determine their own "dustiny" during the final 71 games of 2010. With the anticipated return of Edinson Volquez to their rotation against the Rockies on Saturday and 56% of their season behind them, the Reds will have the easiest remaining schedule according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The combined won-lost record of the Reds' outstanding opponents is a .464 percentage and the Cardinals .473 percentage is the second easiest in baseball. The Baltimore Orioles are currently 28 games behind the New York Yankees and own last place in the NL East. Their .541 won-lost percentage of future competitors is the toughest in the league. Ouch.
Going into Friday the Reds led the National League in hitting (.272), runs scored (437), RBI (423), and shared the top NL spot in defense (.990) with the Padres. Their pitching ERA (4.19) was ranked 11th in the NL.
Along with the Reds' 50th win on Friday night in between MC Hammer concerts, Bronson Arroyo received his tenth. Arroyo pitched seven innings and allowed two runs on five hits. Arroyo's counterpart Jason Hammel struck out a career-high ten batters during his outing (7IP, 8H) for the Rockies, but allowed all three of the Reds' earned runs and received the loss (7-4). Brandon Phillips snapped a 1-19 skid by going 3-4 with two runs scored and Orlando Cabrera went 2-4 as he drove in Phillips both times he reached.
Arthur Rhodes entered Friday's game during the eighth inning after Arroyo allowed two runners to reach base without recording an out. Rhodes walked Ryan Spilborghs to load the bases, but retired Dexter Fowler on a pop-out and struck out Jonathan Herrera and Carlos Gonzales to end the inning. Francisco Cordero closed out the game receiving his 25th save as the Reds defeated the Rockies 3-2.
Edinson Volquez (0-0, 0.00) will face Jorge De La Rosa (3-1, 4.94) and the Rockies at 7:10pm on Saturday.

Queen's Brian May 'Give Boris Johnson the benefit of the doubt, election was WAKE UP call'
Freddie Mercury's Queen bandmate Brian May has responded to the 2019 general election result with a positive message of unity. The 72-year-old, who has previously been impressed by Jeremy Corbyn and Labour's policies, has called on Queen fans to give Boris Johnson a chance and wish him well. May took to Instagram to share his comments this morning.
May posted a picture of Prime Minister Boris Johnson and wrote: "Who is this man ? What does it all mean ?
"Yes – I see many of your comments – and it's obvious there are hundreds of thousands of us who are sad that our close ties with Europe are now certain to be broken.
"Many of us will continue to see BREXIT as a tragic mistake.
"But I believe that this election result is a wake-up call for us."

The Queen guitarist added: "We, as animal campaigners will be knocking on his door from tomorrow onwards, seeking better deals for Britain's non-human animals, with the sincere hope and belief that he will listen.
"We already have a very decent ally in many areas in Michael Gove, who has defied being typecast as an insensitive Tory, to make more improvements to animal welfare than any Minister of the Environment in living memory.
"I'm personally disgusted with the way the MEDIA behaved in this election period – the filth that the Mail and the Sun and the Telegraph spewed out day after day, the poisonous smears and character assassinations that even the BBC promulgated, in my opinion, should justify a complete reform of Press rules.
"But it was noticeable that Mr Johnson, unlike Mr Trump across the water, didn't get personally involved in the slander."
May concluded: "We wish Boris a decent chance to rebuild Britain.
"Like it or not, we now have the chance to unite and support him in making the best of what has been decided. Bri."
Queen fans congratulated the rock star in the Instagram comments.
Many saying, "Well said Bri" and "very humble of you."

Kenworth bringing Big & Rich to 2007 Mid-America Trucking Show
Big & Rich will headline Kenworth Truck Co.'s 19th annual Customer Appreciation Concert at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 23, at the 2007 Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky. Cowboy Troy also will appear with Big & Rich.
"We look forward to a special evening of entertainment with Big & Rich as Kenworth continues the long tradition of hosting its annual Customer Appreciation Concert at the Mid-America Trucking Show in 2007," says Gary Moore, assistant general manager for marketing and sales for Kirkland, Wash.-based Kenworth. "This concert is Kenworth's special way of saying thanks to the hard-working, dedicated trucking professionals that get the job done every day."
The award-winning Big & Rich rode to success in 2004 with the double-platinum Horse of a Different Color, their first album that included such hit singles as "Wild West Show" and "Save a Horse." Their second album, Comin' To Your City, also quickly moved up the charts; the album's title song has served as the introduction music for ESPN's College GameDay during the 2005 and 2006 college football seasons.
More recently, Big Kenny Alphin and John Rich received three Country Music Association nominations, including Song of the Year and Video of the Year for "8th of November" and Vocal Duo of the Year. Rich received the 2006 Country Songwriter-Artist of the Year at the ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) Country Music Awards. Alphin shared 2005 Songwriter of the Year honors at the BMI Country Awards.
The Kenworth Customer Appreciation Concert will be held at Freedom Hall, next to the Mid-America Trucking Show and part of the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center. Complimentary Big & Rich concert tickets will be available to CDL holders only (limit of two tickets per person). Tickets, while supplies last, will be distributed in the South Hall Lobby Booth No. 2 starting at 10 a.m. on both Thursday, March 22, and Friday, March 23.

A significant fraction of the labor force consists of employed workers who are part-time unemployed (underemployed) in the sense that they are unable to work as much as they prefer. This paper develops a search and matching model to study the design of optimal unemployment insurance in an economy with unemployment as well as part-time unemployment. Part-time unemployment provides income insurance and serves as a stepping stone to full-time jobs. Unemployment benefits for part-timers increase the outflow from unemployment to part-time work but reduce the outflow from part-time work to full-time employment. We examine the optimal structure of benefits for unemployed and underemployed workers. The results indicate non-negligible welfare gains associated with time limits for unemployment benefits as well as for part-time benefits. The welfare gains from optimal UI are larger when wages are fixed than when they are flexible.
