Q: Order between options and operands? When using a utility program, we may specify options (and their option arguments) and/or operands.
In most cases (in the sense of conforming to some standard (POSIX?))

*

*does the order between options not matter?

*does the order between operands matter? (e.g. the operands of find are ordered, so are grep)

*does the order between options and operands matter? (e.g. ls . -l and rm mydir -r are said to be not POSIX compatible.)

*if an option can optionally have an option argument, how can the program know if something following the option is the option's argument or an operand?

Btw, do the standard argument parsing library in C (e.g. getopt), and in Python (e.g. argparse) conform to the same standard for options and operands?
C.f.http://pubs.opengroup.org/stage7tc1/basedefs/V1_chap12.html

A: Well, the Utility Sintax Guideline can answer your question about the order of the options, and it's relationship with other options:

Guideline 11:
The order of different options relative to one another
  should not matter, unless the options are documented as
  mutually-exclusive and such an option is documented to override any
  incompatible options preceding it. If an option that has
  option-arguments is repeated, the option and option-argument
  combinations should be interpreted in the order specified on the
  command line.

The only place where ordering those is important is on documentation:

*Options are usually listed in alphabetical order unless this would make the utility description more confusing. There are no implied
  relationships between the options based upon the order in which they
  appear, unless otherwise stated in the OPTIONS section, or unless the
  exception in Guideline 11 of Utility Syntax Guidelines applies. If an
  option that does not have option-arguments is repeated, the results
  are undefined, unless otherwise stated.

However, if you have a command where an argument does not need an option, and another that does, you can group with only one - symbol, since the argument with options comes after the one who doesn't:

Guideline 5:
One or more options without option-arguments, followed by
  at most one option that takes an option-argument, should be accepted
  when grouped behind one '-' delimiter.

Since POSIX is a standard, it's up to the programmers of a technology to make it compliant or not, and how to handle option_arguments. You could make a non-POSIX argparse Python program with the following code:
>>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(prog='PROG', prefix_chars='-+')
>>> parser.add_argument('+f')
>>> parser.add_argument('++bar')

This way, your program arguments will start with +, not being POSIX when confronted with Guideline 4:

Guideline 4:
All options should be preceded by the '-' delimiter character.

And about ordering, is just a matter of using the .parse_args() function to decide where your arguments will be pinned to a position. To argparse lib, there is no operand. Everything is an argument. An operand here is just an argument without the - character, and again, is up to the programmer decide if the software being made will be POSIX compilant or not.
If implemented on the right way, argparse is itself POSIX compliant. Suggested reading:

With the remaining half of the crookneck squash I used for the vegetable tagine, I whipped up this quick squash soup with zippy pumpkin seeds.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil, shallots and celery over medium heat, stirring often, until the shallots are translucent. Add the carrots, squash and vegetable broth. Cover and heat until lightly boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are very soft, about 25 minutes.
While the soup is simmering, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium high heat. Add the pumpkin seeds, stirring often, until they smell "toasted" and begin to make popping noises, about 2 minutes. Add the cumin, stirring for 30 seconds. Remove the seeds from the pan, place in a small bowl, add the salt and toss.
In small batches, blend the soup until smooth. Return to the soup to the pan, cover, and heat through. When serving, ladle the soup into shallow bowls and garnish with the pumpkin seeds, a generous grind of fresh black pepper, and fresh lime juice.
I served this soup as a first course, followed by seitan cutlets with mustard sauce (from Veganomicon), braised green beans, roasted cauliflower, and sweet potatoe and yukon mashed potatoes.
This was my first attempt at making seitan at home, and I don't think that I kneaded the glutton for long enough. Señor Lanky described the cutlets as "chewy," and he didn't mean it in a good way. The mustard sauce and the sides, however, were a big hit.

Yes I recall there is one year which was super cold and icy to fish with such dismal result that they rescheduled it.
Here is a story I wrote in 2006, 345 anglers entered only 4 fish entered so all is not gloom and doom.
Maple Ridge angler Wade Gienow tops 345 anglers in annual Boxing Day Steelhead Derby held on the Chilliwack Vedder River.
Derby winner Wade Gienow accepting trophy from Chairman Don Kozak (photo: Gordon Gadsden).
The 63rd annual Boxing Day Steelhead Derby held last Tuesday on the Chilliwack Vedder River drew 345 anglers but the number of steelhead was near a record low level as only 4 steelhead were entered.
This is below the number of fish that were entered by a comparable number of anglers that participated in the last 3 derbies. 10 steelhead were entered in 2003, 13 the following year and last year 11 fish were brought to the weigh scales. At the derby deadline of 2 pm Wade Gienow from Maple Ridge landed the biggest steelhead of the derby, a fish weighing 13.48 pounds.
Don Kozak, the Chilliwack Fish and Game Protective Association chairman for the derby and combined fund raiser, said after the event, "we had a feeling the catch would be low this year because the anglers had to fish for the most part in less than ideal fishing conditions," he said. "The recent flood during November in the Chilliwack River Valley has created several new clay slides that are creating silty and unfavorable water conditions, especially in wet and mild weather conditions that we have had post flood," Kozak stated.
The winning angler, Wade Gienow from Maple Ridge who is a guide on the Fraser River most of the year beat the odds stacked against the anglers in this derby as he coaxed a 13.48 pound doe steelhead into taking a liking to his roe and wool combination.
Gienow's fish was well ahead of second place finisher Todd McIntyre's 10.66 pounder.
Rod Toth, another Fraser River guide was the only Chilliwack based angler to enter a fish, a 8.24 pound steelhead. Toth took his third placed fish on one of the jigs that he manufactures.
Ed Stanley from Coquitlam took first fish weighted in honors; he caught his 6.88 pound steelhead shortly after nine and had it to the scales at 9.35lb.
Gienow is no stranger to catching a steelhead in the derby as he finished in 7th place last year and has taken part in about 8 derbies over the years.
Gienow who connected with the Kingfish around 10 am described in a post derby interview and after receiving the coveted age old Ferguson Furnell perpetual trophy how he found his winning steelhead.
"I threw out a cast behind this boulder, in about 2 feet of water; my float went about 1 foot and to my surprise a steelhead swirled at my float," the now relaxed Gienow said. "I even saw the whole body of the fish from head to tail, I also saw it was a hatchery fish" which was good news to Gienow as only hatchery steelhead can be retained. "The steelhead then disappeared under water grabbing my bait a she went, I set the hook real hard and the battle was on," Gienow said.
"The fight did not really last that long, maybe one minute and after a couple of decent runs I had it near to shore, saw it was indeed a hatchery so I quickly pulled it ashore, it sure was one hungry fish," the smiling Gienow concluded.
Gienow weighed in his fish at 10:24 and he then crossed his fingers, paced the floor of the clubhouse until the 2 o'clock weigh-in deadline, hoping that his fish's weight would hold up to give him top boasting honors among his fellow anglers.
Kozak was very happy with the support the derby received, not only from the anglers but the business community who donated close to $20,000 in prizes. "I was overwhelmed by the support of so many, including the volunteers from our club, we could not have made it happen without them," he said.
"The best news is the derby and fund raiser made a total profit of $13,873.42, this total included a donation made by Art Decker from Westform Metals who donated $1,300 he won on a draw back into the derby coffers,"Kozak added.
"This means we will have money to use for habitat restoration projects in the Chilliwack River Valley that will include some money hopefully donated to the Chilliwack River Action Committee for their ongoing work the last 10 years to repair the clay slides on the Chilliwack River", Kozak said.


Polbase - Reference: DNA sequence effects on single base deletions arising during DNA polymerization in vitro by Escherichia coli Klenow fragment polymerase.
DNA sequence effects on single base deletions arising during DNA polymerization in vitro by Escherichia coli Klenow fragment polymerase.
Most single base deletions detected after DNA polymerization in vitro directed by either Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I or its Klenow fragment are opposite Pu in the template. The most frequent mutations were previously found to be associated with the consensus template context 5'-PyTPu-3'. In this study, the predictive power of the consensus sequence on single base deletion frequencies was directly tested by parallel comparison of mutations arising in four related DNAs differing by a single base. G, a deletion hotspot within the template context 5'-TTGA-3', was substituted by each of the 3 other bases. Previous studies had shown that deletions opposite the G were frequent but that deletions opposite its neighboring A were never detected. Based on the predictions of the consensus, the substitution of T for G should produce frequent deletions opposite the neighboring A due to its new 5'-TTTA-3' template context. This prediction was fulfilled; no deletions of this A were detected in the other templates. The consensus further predicted that deletions opposite template C would be lower than those opposite either A or G at the same site and this prediction was also fulfilled. The C substitution also produced a new hotspot for 1 bp deletions 14 bp away. The new hotspot depends on quasi-palindromic misalignment of the newly synthesized DNA strand during polymerization; accurate, but ectopically templated synthesis is responsible for this mutagenesis. Mutations templated by quasi-palindromic misalignments have previously been recognized when they produced complex sequence changes; here we show that this mechanism can produce frequent single base deletions. The unique stimulation of misalignment mutagenesis by the C substitution in the template is consistent with the singular ability of C at that site to contribute to extended complementary pairing during the DNA misalignment that precedes mutagenesis.

Sea-Bird SBE 37-SMP MicroCAT
The SBE 37-SMP MicroCAT is a high accuracy conductivity and temperature recorder (pressure optional) with Serial interface, internal battery, non-volatile FLASH Memory and integral Pump. The Integral Pump runs for 1 second each time the MicroCAT samples, improving the conductivity response and giving improved anti-foul protection.
Designed for moorings and other long-duration, fixed-site deployments, MicroCATs have non-corroding titanium housings rated for operation to 7000 meters or pressure sensor full scale-range. Communication with the MicroCAT is over an internal, 3-wire, RS-232C link. The MicroCAT's aged and pressure-protected thermistor has a long history of exceptional accuracy and stability (typical drift is less than 0.002°C per year). Electrical isolation of the conductivity electronics eliminates any possibility of ground-loop noise.

RAPIDMOC/MOCHA Sea-Bird MicroCAT data processing document
This document outlines the procedures undertaken to process and quality assure the MicroCAT data collected under the RAPIDMOC and MOCHA projects.
Calculating calibration coefficients
Prior to deployment and on recovery, a CTD dip is performed with the MicroCATs strapped onto the CTD frame. This allows calibration of the MicroCAT data by comparing the MicroCAT data with the CTD data. As the MicroCATs adjustment is much slower than the CTD, data are only compared during bottle stops and after the sensors have adjusted. Bottle stops on these calibration dips last no less than 5 minutes.
Any discrepancy between the MicroCAT clock and the CTD clock is calculated and corrected if necessary.
An average offset (MicroCAT - CTD) is calculated for temperature, conductivity and pressure during the stable period of each bottle stop and interpolated onto the instrument deployment depths. For temperature and conductivity, an average of the offsets derived during the bottle stops is calculated for a specified pressure range where the data are stable (deep water). For pressure, the average offset interpolated to the deployment depth is used. If the calibration dip is shallower than the deployment depth, the offset is extrapolated to the deployment depth.
All the offsets are visually checked and adjusted if necessary.
Applying calibrations
The data are calibrated using the pre and post deployment calibration coefficients. The calibration can be applied as either
A linear trend between the pre and post deployment coefficients
A constant offset using the pre deployment coefficient
A constant offset using the post deployment coefficient
A constant offset using an average of the pre and post deployment coefficients
A general linear trend using either the pre or post deployment coefficient
If required, a conductivity pressure correction can be applied. This is used if the pressure channel shows spurious data in a particular time interval. A drift in the pressure data can also be removed.
To aid the quality of the calibration, data from CTD casts performed near mooring locations on previous cruises are used as a reference and are visually compared with the MicroCAT data.
All variables in specified time intervals can be set to dummy values if the data are suspect and it is also possible to apply an offset to a subsection of a particular channel, if required. Interactive despiking can be carried out on the temperature and conductivity data, if present, by selecting data based on a T-S plot. Automatic despiking can also be performed using the option to exclude data outside the 6σ area.
The last stage of the processing is to grid the data onto a pressure field and visually check against historical data. This enables the calibrations to be checked and adjusted if necessary. On occasion, comparison of the time series with historical data and series from nearby instruments highlights the need for removal of a drift from one or more data channels. This is accomplished by removing a linear trend from the appropriate channel(s) and may affect the entire series or a subsection thereof. If a trend has been removed it will be noted in the 'RAPIDMOC Calibration Coefficients' section of the documentation.
Data are received after quality checks have been made and calibrations have been applied. The data files are submitted in ASCII format as one file per instrument.
The data files are transferred into a common format, a NetCDF subset.
Standard parameter codes are assigned that accurately describe the data (see Parameter mapping section below).

Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) Programme
Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) is a £20 million, six-year (2001-2007) programme of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The programme aims to improve our ability to quantify the probability and magnitude of future rapid change in climate, with a main (but not exclusive) focus on the role of the Atlantic Ocean's Thermohaline Circulation.
To establish a pre-operational prototype system to continuously observe the strength and structure of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC).
To support long-term direct observations of water, heat, salt, and ice transports at critical locations in the northern North Atlantic, to quantify the atmospheric and other (e.g. river run-off, ice sheet discharge) forcing of these transports, and to perform process studies of ocean mixing at northern high latitudes.
To construct well-calibrated and time-resolved palaeo data records of past climate change, including error estimates, with a particular emphasis on the quantification of the timing and magnitude of rapid change at annual to centennial time-scales.
To develop and use high-resolution physical models to synthesise observational data.
To apply a hierarchy of modelling approaches to understand the processes that connect changes in ocean convection and its atmospheric forcing to the large-scale transports relevant to the modulation of climate.
To understand, using model experimentation and data (palaeo and present day), the atmosphere's response to large changes in Atlantic northward heat transport, in particular changes in storm tracks, storm frequency, storm strengths, and energy and moisture transports.
To use both instrumental and palaeo data for the quantitative testing of models' abilities to reproduce climate variability and rapid changes on annual to centennial time-scales. To explore the extent to which these data can provide direct information about the thermohaline circulation (THC) and other possible rapid changes in the climate system and their impact.
To quantify the probability and magnitude of potential future rapid climate change, and the uncertainties in these estimates.
Overall 38 projects have been funded by the RAPID programme. These include 4 which focus on Monitoring the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), and 5 international projects jointly funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, the Research Council of Norway and NERC.
The RAPID effort to design a system to continuously monitor the strength and structure of the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is being matched by comparative funding from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) for collaborative projects reviewed jointly with the NERC proposals. Three projects were funded by NSF.
A proportion of RAPID funding as been made available for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) as part of NERC's Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI). The SBRI aims to stimulate innovation in the economy by encouraging more high-tech small firms to start up or to develop new research capacities. As a result 4 projects have been funded.
Monitoring the Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26.5N (RAPIDMOC)
There is a northward transport of heat throughout the Atlantic, reaching a maximum of 1.3PW (25% of the global heat flux) around 24.5°N. The heat transport is a balance of the northward flux of a warm Gulf Stream, and a southward flux of cooler thermocline and cold North Atlantic Deep Water that is known as the meridional overturning circulation (MOC). As a consequence of the MOC northwest Europe enjoys a mild climate for its latitude: however abrupt rearrangement of the Atlantic Circulation has been shown in climate models and in palaeoclimate records to be responsible for a cooling of European climate of between 5-10°C. A principal objective of the RAPID programme is the development of a pre-operational prototype system that will continuously observe the strength and structure of the MOC. An initiative has been formed to fulfill this objective and consists of three interlinked projects:
A mooring array spanning the Atlantic at 26.5°N to measure the southward branch of the MOC (Hirschi et al., 2003 and Baehr et al., 2004).
Additional moorings deployed in the western boundary along 26.5°N (by Prof. Bill Johns, University of Miami) to resolve transport in the Deep Western Boundary Current (Bryden et al., 2005). These moorings allow surface-to-bottom density profiles along the western boundary, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and eastern boundary to be observed. As a result, the transatlantic pressure gradient can be continuously measured.
Monitoring of the northward branch of the MOC using submarine telephone cables in the Florida Straits (Baringer et al., 2001) led by Dr Molly Baringer (NOAA/AOML/PHOD).
The entire monitoring array system created by the three projects will be recovered and redeployed annually until 2008 under RAPID funding. From 2008 until 2014 the array will continue to be serviced annually under RAPID-WATCH funding.
The array will be focussed on three regions, the Eastern Boundary (EB), the Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) and the Western Boundary (WB). The geographical extent of these regions are as follows:
Eastern Boundary (EB) array defined as a box with the south-east corner at 23.5°N, 25.5°W and the north-west corner at 29.0°N, 12.0°W
Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) array defined as a box with the south-east corner at 23.0°N, 52.1°W and the north-west corner at 26.5°N, 40.0°W
Western Boundary (WB) array defined as a box with the south-east corner at 26.0°N, 77.5°W and the north-west corner at 27.5°N, 69.5°W

RAPID- Will the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation Halt? (RAPID-WATCH)
RAPID-WATCH (2007-2014) is a continuation programme of the Natural Environment Research Council's (NERC) Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) programme. It aims to deliver a robust and scientifically credible assessment of the risk to the climate of UK and Europe arising from a rapid change in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC). The programme will also assess the need for a long-term observing system that could detect major MOC changes, narrow uncertainty in projections of future change, and possibly be the start of an 'early warning' prediction system.
The effort to design a system to continuously monitor the strength and structure of the North Atlantic MOC is being matched by comparative funding from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) for the existing collaborations started during RAPID for the observational arrays.
To deliver a decade-long time series (2004-2014) of calibrated and quality-controlled measurements of the Atlantic MOC from the RAPID-WATCH arrays.
To exploit the data from the RAPID-WATCH arrays and elsewhere to determine and interpret recent changes in the Atlantic MOC, assess the risk of rapid climate change, and investigate the potential for predictions of the MOC and its impacts on climate.
This work will be carried out in collaboration with the Hadley Centre in the UK and through international partnerships.
Mooring Arrays
The RAPID-WATCH arrays are the existing 26°N MOC observing system array (RAPIDMOC) and the WAVE array that monitors the Deep Western Boundary Current. The data from these arrays will work towards meeting the first scientific objective.
The RAPIDMOC array consists of moorings focused in three geographical regions (sub-arrays) along 26.5° N: Eastern Boundary, Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Western Boundary. The Western Boundary sub-array has moorings managed by both the UK and US scientists. The other sub-arrays are solely led by the UK scientists. The lead PI is Dr Stuart Cunningham of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK.
The WAVE array consists of one line of moorings off Halifax, Nova Scotia. The line will be serviced in partnership with the Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO), Halifax, Canada. The lead PI is Dr Chris Hughes of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, Liverpool, UK.
All arrays will be serviced (recovered and redeployed) either on an annual or biennial basis using Research Vessels from the UK, US and Canada.
Modelling Projects
The second scientific objective will be addressed through numerical modelling studies designed to answer four questions:
How can we exploit data from the RAPID-WATCH arrays to obtain estimates of the MOC and related variables?
What do the observations from the RAPID-WATCH arrays and other sources tell us about the nature and causes of recent changes in the Atlantic Ocean?
What are the implications of RAPID-WATCH array data and other recent observations for estimates of the risk due to rapid change in the MOC?
Could we use RAPID-WATCH and other observations to help predict future changes in the MOC and climate?

Morir en España és una pel·lícula documental espanyola del 1965 dirigida per Mariano Ozores amb un guió dels notoris franquistes José María Sánchez-Silva y García-Morales i Rafael García Serrano. Fou un encàrrec fet per les autoritats franquistes per tal de contrarestar i oferir una resposta a Mourir à Madrid de Frédéric Rossif, però fou tan poc reeixida com l'anterior Por qué morir en Madrid d'Eduardo Manzanos, ja que les autoritats franquistes el consideraren finalment de baixa qualitat i políticament inoportú.

Sinopsi
El documental fa una evocació de la història d'Espanya des dels darrers moments de la monarquia d'Alfons XIII d'Espanya, la proclamació de la Segona República Espanyola amb invectives grolleres contra Manuel Azaña i exaltant José Antonio Primo de Rivera, les gestes del bàndol franquista durant la guerra civil espanyola i, ja en la postguerra, la construcció del santuari del Valle de los Caídos. La veu del narrador és la de Rafael Arcos i s'utilitza força material d'arxiu.

Premis
Malgrat els decebedors resultats posteriors als Premis del Sindicat Nacional de l'Espectacle de 1965 va rebre el segon premi de 250.000 pessetes.

The twenty-one minute "Brainstorm" kicks off Volume Two. This is a crunching, affecting monstrous piece of work. Berends vocals are great considering his vocal limitations. The melody and lyrics solidify Mastermind's grasp of drama in musical excursions. There are some powerful moments in a song that goes through all kinds of changes.
"Firefly" takes Mastermind back into the speed metal arena and "Looking Ahead" adds that vibrating synth topping that was so prevalent on the first release. This song really rocks. Again, good vocals by Berends and a catchy melody - something Mastermind does well considering the acidic bite of their driving sound. Berends lead guitar steers the sound in around many musical landscapes.
I don't care too much for "Nowhere To Hide" which really plays out as Mastermind's devilish homage to the Beatles' "Run For Your Life." But it's offbeat enough to work. "Go For It" begins like a computer game, but a pounding bass/guitar riff soon drowns out the innocuous bubbling synth that opens it. An instrumental, it's one of the CD's weaker songs. What can I say about "Ride Of The Valkyries"? If Wagner were alive today he'd probably be on stage with Bill and company, chopping away and grinning all the way.
"Prelude" is a lovely bit of symphonic rock. Some chaotic drumming nearly obliterates the melodious tag line, but it all ends beautifully, taking us into the seventeen minute "Triumph Of The Will." This is frenzied, angry music if I've ever heard it. Parts remind me of Saga's best, but Mastermind are miles ahead in virtuosity. Though the vocals are lost in the first half of the song, a soft bridge at the middle mark provides a beautiful transition into the fireworks that are about to follow.
Mastermind tackles the classics again and do it wonderfully. "William Tell Overture" beats anything but the most fiercely resilient classical version. Another short piece, "Code Of Honour" closes things. It's light weight in comparison to the rest of the CD but that takes nothing away from it.
Volume Two is a staggering second work from Mastermind. At nearly seventy minutes, the CD is chockfull of everything. It lays the ground work of the more symphonic third work, which to my melodic tastes, is Mastermind's best work to date.

BY TAPPING:
DISCLAIMER: There are *minor* spoilers in this review. If you don't want to know any of the general plot plus some details in between, I suggest you watch and then come back!
Episode ONE: "Edgar" FULL
THE FULL
The idea seemed instantly played out with consecutive "No comment" remarks and time running out but Tennant (the "criminal") brought life to the character as life continued on.
The story that unfolds is brilliantly written and tense.
Tennant's devastation as he learns of the detective's deception is disheartening
THE SPILLED
Beyond the people within the interrogation room and the things being told to one another we barely get any character development behind the quote on quote criminal's backstory.
Deep Dive:
The David Tennant led "Edgar" keeps you on your toes from beginning to end, while fighting the suspense to know whether or not Edgar will crack amongst the pressure he is enduring within the confines of the interrogation room. While I admire and love the detectives interrogating Edgar, it's just unfortunate that the remainder of the characters are far less likable or even interesting. Edgar leaves a lot on the table for further episodes, but with only three episodes within the season, it's difficult to see the future getting better for this wasted character.
Episode Two: "Stacey" HALF
"That was one of those bits they don't teach you in your course"
The tension is still on and as the episode continues the tension rises more
The performances display an extension of the characters we were given in episode one
Stacey's story doesn't catch my interest as much as I would like
The setting is gripping and becomes much more "homey" as the story moves along
A big plothole ruins the closure of the interrogation
Stacey isn't as riveting as David Tennant's Edgar, however her story holds strong once the backend of the episode begins. While the writing remains just as fresh, it's the different method of interrogation we receive from the new duo of detectives that make it a less interesting episode. The twist has quite a bit of a plothole that unfortunately never gets filled, and this episode lacks the sharp ending that we received in the prior installment.
Episode Three: "Jay" FULL
"Maybe I Just Went A Different Way."
The interrogation method used in this third entry is the most attractive to watch play out, similar to the premiere, the finale gives an engrossing story that helps us slowly grave ahold of the characters surrounding the case at hand.
The attorney's energy towards the detectives makes you root even more for the "criminal" of the episode, Jay.
The closing details from episode two are wonderfully elaborated in a gigantic plot twist
The extra characters we are given are an unnecessary add-on to the characters we have now grown accustomed to.
Jay is a brute, and it seems unlikely that we would grow to feel for the man on the other side of the table. However, if there was one episode of the three where you can really feel the hardship of the accused, it would be this one. This man had to take on a huge decision to try to decide to give up the location of the missing "cargo," and it was a troubling site to see play out. As the time runs out and suspense grows, a plot twist is unleashed and our time with the detectives has quickly run its course.
Season Thoughts:| FULL: 2, HALF: 1, SPILLED: 0 | VERDICT: FULL
Within the runtime of three episodes of Criminal: United Kingdom, we witness the detective work of three duos operating under three entirely different interrogation methods. Criminal is ambitious and tense beyond a reasonable doubt with character building so simplistic it's difficult to understand why you long for more time with these particular characters once the third credits start to roll.

Immigration Litigation
Immigration litigation arises where an individual has been asked to leave the country, or has been issued deportation or removal orders, or has been proven inadmissible in Canada, or has a member of the family arrested by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). If something like this has happened to you or to a family member, it is highly essential to act immediately as most of these orders can be countered, challenged, or appealed within a stipulated period of time. A quick action can save you the day while even a little negligence can mar your chances of having an appeal seriously heard.
When such a situation arises, it is eminently imperative to consult legal experts who can guide you on legal matters, make your legal statements and can deal with the intricacies of law. Personal expertise might not always help in such cases as these are treated most seriously by both the CBSA and IRCC. Our consultancy firm is of team of extremely efficient, updated and experienced Canada immigration lawyers who can offer the most ingenious solutions to age-old problems that people caught in extraordinary circumstances may face. We make sure that you are safe and are treated with utmost respect and dignity. We also make sure that the entire procedure is carefully explained to you so that you do not feel lost or misguided at any point of time. We understand that you are caught in legal trouble and make sure that you are not harassed with unnecessary monetary demands or ill-behavior from our side.
When you contact us, we expect you to provide us with some significant documents in order for us to make a strong case for you, and to be able to argue in favor of your claim with proper validation. The things that you will be required to provide us are – a copy of the refusal letter/report or a notice that you have received from the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), or any other similar body in Canada. You will also be asked to submit a copy for your application form along with your ID/any valid identity proof. If there has been any communication in the form of a letter, email, or order to you from the Canadian government, or any of other authorized body, you will be asked to submit the same to us. We expect you to be honest and open to share all necessary information with us so that we can devise a plan of action accordingly. The timelines to apply for a revocation or an appeal is varied in every case and under every department/agency. It must be ensured that the appeal is made within the given time frame otherwise it is almost impossible to challenge the decision. Especially in cases where a deportation order has been issued, it is extremely important to act immediately so that a stay order can be appealed. Normally the minimum time limit is 15 days and maximum 60 days. In a detention case, there is a repeated review meeting after every few days and it is extremely important to add value to your argument within the stipulated time.
You are advised to take legal help in all such cases where legalities are concerned.
The Immigration Division as a tribunal branch of the Immigration and Refugee Board conducts admissibility hearings and detention reviews for those people who have been declared either inadmissible or removable from Canada for a variety of reasons.
Admissibility Hearings: You may be summoned before the Immigration Division if the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) suspects that you have violated the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). In this case, the CBSA forbids you to continue staying, or from entering Canada. A report is also generated by the division to claim why you are inadmissible to the country. Such admissibility hearings then proceed to the immigration Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. The division then examines the applicant's case thoroughly and takes the decision after analyzing if the individual can be permitted to stay, or to enter Canada. If you are found inadmissible, you will be asked to leave if you are living in Canada, or if you are outside you will not be allowed to enter Canada. In some cases, if a person is found inadmissible in Canada by the CBSA or IRPA, he/she may be referred to a Minister's delegate who will issue the removal order. The responsibility of proving the permanent resident inadmissible lies with the minister. The matter is treated with seriousness and a great care is taken to involve unbiased members. All testimonies, documents and evidences are reviewed to establish make the decision fact-based. There can be a variety of reasons why a permanent resident is declared inadmissible in Canada under IRPA. The CBSA will refer your case to Immigration Division when it finds you inadmissible to Canada.
Security Grounds – Section 34 (1) of IRPA: Permanent residency or the plea for permanent residency of an applicant can be rejected by the Immigration Division if an applicant is found a suspected threat to national security or the personal security of any Canadian national. If you are suspected of espionage or found involved in terrorist activities as an individual or as a corporate house, you will be denied entry or continued stay in Canada. This is done to ensure the safety of the nation and its people.
Human or International Rights Violation Section 35 (1) IRPA: If an individual whether a permanent resident already or one wanting to be, is found involved in atrocities, ill-treatment, misconduct or disrespect to others, he/she will be denied permanent residency in Canada under Section 34 (1) of IRPA. Canada is immensely intolerant towards people who lack humanitarian values and good social conduct.
Serious Criminality and Criminality Section 36 (1) and (2): Any individual with a record of serious crime and misconduct will be referred by the IRPA to the Immigration Division for a review of his/her background check. In such cases, an individual can lose permanency residency status if the crime is proved by the Division. A serious crime refers to a crime committed by the permanent resident which carries a sentence of 1 year at least, or a sentence of imprisonment for 6 years at least. Such crimes are perceived to be the basis to declare an individual inadmissible in Canada. It does not matter if the crime and the sentence happened inside or outside Canada, in both the situations an individual will not be given permission to be a permanent resident of Canada.
Organized Criminality Section 37 (1) of IRPA: Organized criminality refers to a situation where a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen is found to be part of a suspect organization that is involved in criminal offense, or it is suspected that the organization has evil intentions towards the security of the nation. Any involvement with an organization of such disrepute can get removal or deportation orders for an individual. Even crimes like human trafficking and money laundering fall under the gamut of this Section.
Health Basis – Section 38 (1) of IRPA: If a foreign national is found to be seriously ailing from some disease which might prove threatening to the other Canadian nationals, or a disease which might put immense burden on Canadian health care and social services, he/she can be held as inadmissible to stay or enter in Canada. To decide such cases there are public policies defining how much health care demand is permissible. This figure is subject to change as Canadian Immigration laws change frequently. Latest guidelines have to be inquired when applying.
Financial Reasons – Section 39 of IRPA: Every permanent resident in Canada or a prospective Canadian citizen must guarantee full financial independence for himself/herself or the dependents. Wherever an individual fails to convince the immigration officer that he/she can take full financial responsibility of self and dependents, they will be deemed as unfit for Canadian immigration. In order to prove your financial status, you will have to provide all supporting documents of your income proof and other related documents wherever necessary.
Misrepresentation – Section 40 (A) of IRPA: If any non-Canadian wishing to immigrate to Canada, or a permanent resident in Canada attempts to forge incorrect documents, provide fake information or withholds necessary information about himself/herself, Canadian immigration law stands in full authority to take punitive measures against any such individual. Canadian immigration law expects you to fill all information carefully and honestly. Hiding necessary information or producing fake information can get you implicated. If you have been declared inadmissible to Canada, your sponsored relative and dependents will also be declared inadmissible to Canada.
Non-Compliance with the Act – Section 41 of IRPA: Any amount of resistance to following orders or any non-compliance of IRPA rules will make the individual inadmissible to Canada.
Inadmissible family Member – Section 42 (1) of IRPA: If a foreign national barring the protected persons are declared inadmissible as a family member of the principal applicant, or they are coming along with an inadmissible family member, they will be declared inadmissible to Canada. If you are declared inadmissible once, you will receive either removal orders or detention orders. However, you can make an appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division in some cases. All appeals under Section 34 (1) might not be heard otherwise appeals can be made to the division for a re-evaluation of your case.
Detention Reviews: Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA) has the authority of detaining non-Canadians entering Canada or those living here as permanent residents on various suspicions. If a CBSA enquiry deems you as a threat to the security of the nation or an individual, or if you have committed a serious crime or a human rights violation, you will be detained. You can also be detained if a CBSA officer believes that you have not proven your identity convincingly with verifiable documents, or has doubts that you will not appear for a formal hearing, or respond to a removal order, you will be detained. Detainees then appear before the Immigration Division, a sub-unit under The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB). Such an individual is held under vigilance in either a correctional facility or a minimum-security center made for detainees. Meanwhile, the immigration division makes in-depth inquiry of the detainee and ascertains if there is enough substantial proof to hold the person. This is done within 48 hours of detaining a person. Such a process is open to public scrutiny, media reporting and debate. Canada takes full responsibility in safeguarding its national security and takes these cases very seriously. The minister's counsel will review the entire case and establish substantial grounds as to why an individual should be detained while the detainee's counsel or the detainee himself/herself will argue against the charge. There are a variety of reasons why the detention order will not be revoked-
A complete background of the detainee is made to evaluate if the person has a permanent residence in Canada, if someone can bear testimony to his/her conduct, if he has been at good conduct with others etc. The division will also check if the person has a criminal record and/or has been declared a fugitive. It will be reviewed if the person has shown impudence towards Canadian law by not complying to significant court orders like removal orders, deportations order or departure orders.
The person will continue to be detained if it is proved that he/she is a threat to the national security or a potential threat for Canadian nationals. There will be a complete background check of the individual to review if he/she has ever been involved in criminal activities, as an individual or a member of an organization, if he/she was ever involved in transnational crime like human trafficking and money laundering. For a foreign national or a prospective new immigrant, the presiding officer may also inquire if the individual was ever convicted in his/her own country in past. If the individual is found convicted in any criminal offense in his/her native country, the review will include it in its report and decide accordingly. The division will take into consideration the over all conduct of the detainee towards the presiding officers and the members of the committee during the process of review too.
If an individual is not able to prove his/her identity, he/she will be deemed as a potential threat to the country and will be declared inadmissible. Failure to prove one's identity also leads to suspicion of the individual being a criminal offender. Such a case is perceived as a treachery and is handled extremely seriously.
If the detention is considered valid, the minister's counsel then decided the duration and terms of detention. Whatever the decision of the counsel, it has to be abide by. In some cases, the counsel might also suggest some alternative to detention wherever required. In cases where the detention review declares an individual detained, there will be another detention review within the next 7 days and this continues every 30 days of the detention period. The detainees has the right to request for a detention review early but with valid reasons. The detainee might be released wherever It is proven that the detention cause could not be substantially proven. We as a highly committed firm of competent Canada immigration lawyers can help you to make an appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division in such cases and will work night and day to solve the problem.
We are a highly recommended firm for our remarkable client care and for our proactive approach towards custom solutions while appealing for immigration applications that are rejected. As we understand the gravity of the situation, we recruit the best Canada immigration lawyers to help you navigate through the choppy waters of legalities and bring the unique solution based on your application.
Immigration application is one of the most crucial documents in the whole process of immigrating to Canada and must be completed with honesty, accuracy and attention. Any information amiss or wrongly filled can lead to an irrevocable damage and in a lot many cases applications may be permanently rejected. However, what If your application is rejected after all? We have years of experience in making appeals on behalf of our clients to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD), which is a recognized body to hear appeals on issues related to immigration, such as issuance of removal order, a sponsorship application getting rejected, residency obligation violation, or problems related to errors in application forms leading to their rejection. There are various ways in which appeals can be made to the Immigration Appeal Division based on what decision we are appealing against.
Sponsorship Appeal: People who have become Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada would love to be reunited with their family members living abroad. In such cases, permanent residents of Canada or Canadian citizens may wish to sponsor their family members to facilitate their application process to immigrate to Canada. However, a lot of times these applications meet with rejection from the immigration office for various reasons ranging from incorrect information to the applicants' inability to provide documents or validation. Don't worry there is a way this can be amended by making an appeal with the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD). Since this appeal is time-bound, it has to be filed within 30 days from the day the refusal letter was received. Further, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada produces the appeal record within 120 days from the date the appeal was received. The hearing of these appeals is done with exceptional agility and speed so that applicants may find quick resolutions to their problems. Moreover, in cases where the division feels that there is no need to an appeal to wait for a formal hearing, the case is instantly forwarded to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) which involves the applicant arguing for his/her case informally to the Member of the Immigration Appeal Division and the Minister's counsel. The applicant's lawyer can also ask for ADR if they want the proceedings to be held without formal hearing. In all other cases, an appeal is responded with a formal hearing on the basis of which the Immigration Appeal Division determines if the appeal has to be accepted or denied. Once the appeal is accepted, the application process will be advanced further by Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada. However, there are certain grave cases where the rejection to an application cannot be revoked. Since national security and individual security of all Canadians is the prime responsibility of the Canadian government, no such application can move further where the government feels national threat to its security; or cases where the applicant has been involved in serious crime, human rights violation, or other forms of deviation from law.
Removal Order Appeals: Permanent residents of Canada or Canadian citizens who have received a removal order from the government of Canada can file for an appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division. This appeal is permitted to even convention refugees or protected persons who have received removal order and seek its revocation. Since such appeals are time-bound, the appeal has to be made within the 30 days after the removal order was received. A case will be made by the Minister or the Immigration Division within 45 days from the day the appeal was made. In some very rare cases, the Immigration Appeal Division may prefer arguing the case without a formal hearing, and therefore forward the appeal to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) though this is not the standard norm in removal order appeals. If it's a formal hearing, there will be a proper review of the appeal to ascertain if the appeal has to be accepted or denied. Once the appeal has been permitted, the applicant's removal order will be repealed and the applicant can continue to live in Canada. However, if the appeal meets with stay order, the removal order goes on hold on a temporary basis and the applicant can continue to stay in Canada under certain terms and conditions. The appeal will then be re-evaluated by the Immigration Appeal division around the end of this period and assess if the appeal has to be accepted or rejected. If the appeal is denied again, the person will have to leave Canada.
Residency Obligation Appeals: Once an individual receives the permanent resident visa, the individual is obliged to stay in Canada for at least 730 days for over a period 5 years. In case of any withdrawal from this norm, there are high chances that the individual will either received departure order asking him/her leave the country or his/her permanent residency application will be rejected for renewal. If the departure order or the rejection of renewal of permanent residency is issued by a visa officer from Canada, the permanent resident can file an appeal within 30 days of receiving the departure order. However, if the order has been issued by a visa officer outside Canada, the permanent resident can take 60 days to submit an appeal with the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD). Once an appeal is made, the Ministry or the Immigration Appeal Division will furnish the record within 120 days of receiving of the date the appeal was submitted. The Immigration Appeal Division works with exceptional agility and speed in responding to these cases. There is a possibility that the Immigration Appeal Division will forward the appeal to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) for an informal hearing otherwise a formal hearing will be arranged. There are two outcomes of the appeal made to Immigration Appeal Division –
If the appeal is met with approval, the permanent resident will be permitted to stay in Canada as permanent resident and his permanent resident status will be reinstated. In case, the permanent resident is outside Canada at the time of the appeal, a travel document will be issued to make it possible for him/her to return to Canada.
If the appeal is dismissed, the applicant's permanent resident status will be abrogated. For those who are living in Canada at the time of the abrogation, a departure order will be issued. The departure order will become translated into a deportation order within next 30 days.

Interviews with IRCC and CBSA
At Port of Entries: With a refugee claim made at the port of entry or at the border, the IRCC and CBSA are responsible for attending to it in order to ensure that the claimant gets a just chance to present his/her case, and also to ensure that no wrong person can take undue advantage of provisions that Canadian government has made to help new immigrants to settle in the country. For that purpose, the CBSA is responsible for conducting interview at the port entry or border entry. These interviews are executed in two levels. First, CBSA officers will examine your documents and assess your claim. You will be asked to provide all required documents like visa document, travel document and passport along with the documents of the accompanying family member(s), if any. You will be asked questions to ascertain if you are admissible in the country like questions regarding medical and criminal history. You will also be asked about the duration of your stay and other necessary information to assess the validity of your claims. In the second level, it will be assessed on what commodities, papers or belongings you are bringing in Canada. You are commodities or personal belongings have to be permitted by the birder authorities to establish that you are not a potential danger to national security of Canada. You are not allowed to carry any items generally prohibited by Canadian border authorities like ammunition, fireworks, dairy product, fresh fruits and vegetables, or live plants or animals etc. will be asked. If your claim is found valid and you can convince the authorities of your identity, personal history along with verifiable documents, you will be allowed to enter the country. However, if your claim is found inadequately proven or lacks documentary proof, there will be another inquiry by a CBSA officer and meanwhile you can be prohibited from entering the country.
Interviews Within Canada: CBSA may call you for an interview for a variety of reasons while you are living in Canada as a permanent resident or waiting for permanent residency. The few common circumstances are –
You may be asked for an interview if you have submitted a pre-removal Risk Assessment application wherein you claim that you are under potential threat if removed from the country.
If you are found inadmissible in the country under any circumstances, you may be summoned for an interview.
At all such interviews, you may be asked to produce several documents like travel document, passport, vis, identity card, birth certificate, or any other documents issued by the Canadian government including documents of any police record, a criminal offense etc. All such documents have to be provided to the Board whenever asked. You will also be questioned about your job, routine, immigration history, pre-immigration history, and questions to establish your identity. All such documents of your family members may also be asked for assessment. In such a case where a person has already received a removal order from the Immigration Refugee Board, an interview will be conducted to make the removal quick and smooth. Wherever a CBSA officer suspects that you may not appear for the interview, the officer can send you detention orders to quicken your removal, or if the removal order has not been issued, the CBSA may also conduct an interview to issue the same. It is best advised to be honest and furnish the right information at these forums so as to save oneself from any dangerous implications of being seen as a traitor.
Interviews conducted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada: You need to give an interview first to IRCC when you submit an application to enter Canada. The IRCC is responsible for reviewing your application, and establish if you are fit or unfit to enter Canada. A common practice for IRCC is to conduct such interviews in cases of spousal sponsorship but it might decide to schedule an interview for any case for which it deems necessary to make sufficient inquiries. An interview conducted by IRCC can take place either in Canada or in the place of residence of the applicant. You are provided with all the information of the interview in the letter that you receive from IRCC. Under all circumstances you are required to go for the interview but in case you are not able to do so, furnish a substantial reason for postponement. The IRCC will then reschedule the interview for a later date. In case you miss a scheduled interview, you are supposed to make a contact with IRCC at the earliest and request for rescheduling the interview. However, it is advisable to hold these interviews as very important and accede to them at the earliest.
At all such interviews, you may be asked to produce several documents like travel passport, visa, identity card, birth certificate, or any other necessary documents to establish your claims. You have to ensure that the documents furnished are verifiable, authentic and true. The IRCC will ask questions as per the claim that you are making in order to verify the integrity of your claims. You will also be questioned about your job, routine, medical history, criminal history, and questions to establish your identity. Your conduct during the interview will be observed by the officers making the inquiry. Any misconduct, deliberate tampering with documents or facts might prove detrimental to your case. If the IRCC officer suspects you of lying or of providing fake documents, your application will stand rejected with a ban from entering Canada for at least 5 years.
In order to ensure that you do not make any mistake at any level, it is imperative to hire legal services as only efficient and experienced Canada immigration lawyers can help you in navigating from the difficult legal situations as are obvious in such cases.

The Refugee Protection Division (RPD) is an administrative tribunal branch of the Immigration and Refugee Bard of Canada. It is aimed at representing the people in Canada with protected person status and for those who claim for this status under extraordinary circumstances as define under the refugee law. A person can make a claim for protection at even the entry point or border of the country. This division is accountable for taking well-researched, unbiased and appropriate decisions on all immigration and refugee issues. An individual with protected person status, or anyone in need of protection can make claims to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) even at the entry or at the border of the country. There are two categories under which you can claim refugee status- a) convention refugee or (b) refugee in need of protection.
Steps to be followed: You can make a claim for refugee protection at the entry point or the border of Canada. The first step for doing so is to give an interview to an officer from Canadian Border and Services Agency (CBSA) who will assess if you are eligible as per the standard regulations. The officer supervising your case will examine your claim for protection thoroughly and also review in case you might not be admissible in Canada on any of the specified grounds. If your claim is established as valid, you will be referred to the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) for a further decision on your claim. Once the RPD also gives a nod of consent to your claim, you will be given a Basis of Claim (BOC) form – a document you fill with complete information, along with all verifiable documents. This form acts like both a claim and an oath to the Canadian government that all information provided by you is accurate and true. If the claim is found false or contrived, it can lead to adverse consequences for the claimant. All necessary documents to prove your identity must also be furnished along with other required documents. In case an applicant is not able to procure all necessary information, the officer might ask for witnesses, testimonies, or other means to prove the case as valid. One BOC form for each member of the family must be submitted within 15 days. If an individual makes a claim at the point of entry or at the border, he/she will be asked to produce the BOC form by the Refugee Protection Division (RPD) in the next 15 days at least starting from the time the claim was made. In cases where claims are made in Canada, the BOC form must be submitted to an officer from Refugee Protection Division (RPD). The presiding officer will then thoroughly review the claim and asses if it can be sent for further proceedings to RPD. If the individual is found inadmissible on any of the specified grounds, he/she will be denied protection status and admissibility in Canada by the CBSA. A person can be found inadmissible if he/she has a record of being involved in spying, terrorism, criminal offense, human rights violation, human trafficking, drug sales, money laundering etc. If the claim is proved valid, the person claiming protection status will be permitted to remain in Canada while his/her refugee claim is being processed by the authorities. The refugee claimant has the full responsibility of establishing his/ger refugee status on facts and verifiable documentation. All facts that are presented before the tribunal are to be honest, factual, and authentic. Any fake claims or false documentation can lead to adverse results in the matter.
Convention Refugees: Any person desirous of living as a refugee in another country and not wanting to return to his/her native country for the fear of persecution, life threat or social condemnation is called a convention refugee. These people can be under threat for reasons like race, ethnicity, national identity, creed, political opinion, political allegiance, or religion. Mostly they are either under threat of life, or at a high risk of being tortured or condemned in their country/ or the country of previous residence. These people can claim that they need protection because their life is under threat in their country of origin or earlier country of residence. To prove that you are someone in need of protection for fear of death, damage or torture, you need to present your case to the Refugee Protection Board (RPD) which is the authorized body to decide if your case is authentic and needs hearing. All subsequent legalities will take place accordingly.
Who can make the claim? You cannot apply for refugee status or for protection status: (a) if you have been given refugee status in any country earlier, whether native or country of residence, (b) if your claim was rejected for some reason earlier, (c) if you had made an earlier claim that could not be validated or proven and was therefore rejected, (d) if you have a record of serious offense, criminal activities, terrorism or organized crime.
Other Applicable Conditions: People with refugee status or protection status in Canada have to follow certain rules. According to the Safe Third Country Agreement between USA and Canada, any refugee claimant must first seek refugee status in the first country of entry in North America and then later claim it in the second country. However, there are some conditions that would exempt those on which any of the following applies-
If a claimant already as a family member of at least 18 years old living in Canada as a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen with a valid work permit and has his refugee status claim processing with the Immigration Refugee Board.
If anyone below 18 years old is entering the country without a parent, grandparent, coming with them, or they do not even have a parent or guardian living in Canada or USA as permanent residents.
If you have any of the following – a Canadian visa, or a valid work permit or a study or a traveling document issued by the Canadian government, or you may be someone who does not need a visa to enter Canada though you may be required to have a visa to enter USA.
If you have been convicted of a serious crime with the possibility of a death sentence.
How Refugee Protection Division works? Once you have made a claim, the immigration Protection Division will review your case thoroughly and decide if you are to be permitted the protection status or refused. If you can prove that you are under threat of persecution for any of the defined reasons, you will be given the status of a convention refugee. Accordingly, all other statuses are decided based on claims made. If you are accorded the protected person status, you can further proceed with your application of permanent residency. If you are not able to prove the terms on the basis which you seek refuge in Canada, a removal order will be issues and you will be asked to leave the country within the stipulated time period. In such a case, you can then make an appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division. If RAD takes a decision in your favor, it will be further reviewed by the Minister's counsel who has the final authority to either grant permission to stay or ask the Board to re-assess your case. Once you have been granted permanent resident status in Canada, you have to abide by certain set rules to maintain your status as a protected person, a convention refugee or a refugee. You cannot travel back to the country from which who were seeking refuge in the first place, you cannot obtain a passport from that country and you cannot try to return to that country. In cases where you are no longer a person under risk of persecution or torture, again the status of refugee or a protected person will be repealed. Any lies in the process, misrepresentations, false documentations can prove to have adversarial results for the claimant, hence, all claims made must be true and authentic. Process to be Followed-
You have to apply for a refugee status in Canada.
Your eligibility will be assessed by the officers.
You will fill the BOC form and provide proper documents to prove the claims.
Your petition will be moved to RPD who will then schedule a formal hearing so that your case may be argued.
A decision is taken after you appear before the division and make claims with proper verifiable documents.
You are granted the status of a protected person.
Otherwise, your claim will be rejected and you will be issued removal orders. Then you have the right to appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division who will review your case and assess if you not inadmissible in Canada, along with all other necessary details. There are certain cases where do not qualify for making the appeal to the division, for instance you are a suspect of criminal activities, serious crime, espionage or terrorism. You can seek our experienced consultation of you wish to make claims for refugee status, we will take care of you from the filing of the application to the last step. You can completely trust in our services based on the ethics of commitment, care and sensitivity towards unique cases.
Refugee Appeal Division is a tribunal branch of Immigration and Refugee Board that provides refugee claimants another opportunity to argue their case where the Refugee Protection Division had already rejected the claim, or in circumstances where the claimant is in the position to provide better evidence to validate his/her claim than before. The division has full right to accept the appeal, or reject it according to the documents and information provided and after assessing a person's appeal properly. This appeal is fundamentally paper-based and may require a formal hearing in a few extraordinary or exceptional cases. The claimant may also request for a formal hearing though it is necessary that such a request will be served. The appeals made to the Refugee Appeal Division are reviewed finally by the Minister who has full authority to question the decision of granting refugee status, or hold your case if they find it wanting or inadequate on facts.
Who cannot make the appeal to Refugee Appeal Division? You can be declared ineligible to file an appeal if any of the stated conditions apply to you. The Division may refuse your claim if it is found false, baseless or unverifiable. Your claim may also may not be appealed if any of the exceptions as per Safe Third Country Agreement applies to you. If your refugee claims was either withdrawn or rejected prior to the present claim, you lose a chance to make another claim. If you have ever been convicted of a serious crime, or have been asked to cease your refugee status, or have ever been repudiated for a refugee status, or asked to surrender under the Extradition Act, then you ca not make an appeal to the division.
Possible Outcomes of making a claim with the Refugee Appeal Division: When an individual is refused a refugee status by the Refugee Protection Division, he/she can apply to Refugee Appeal Division who will then assess the case with or without formal hearing as required, review the documents and the decision will be taken in your favor. In cases where the appeal is refused, a removal order will be given to the claimant who will be asked to leave the country within a specified period. In some cases, the appeal is forwarded to Refugee Protection Division for a re-evaluation. When the claim is accepted and a person is granted the protested person status or the refugee status, the person can then apply for permanent resident status in Canada. Once you have been granted permanent resident status in Canada, you have to abide by certain set rules to maintain your status as a protected person, a convention refugee or a refugee. You cannot travel back to the country from which who were seeking refuge in the first place, you cannot obtain a passport from that country and you cannot try to return to that country. In cases where you are no longer a person under risk of persecution or torture, again the status of refugee or a protected person will be repealed. Any lies in the process, misrepresentations, false documentations can prove to have adversarial results for the claimant, hence, all claims made must be true and authentic.

Water Chemistry Test Strips is rated 3.0 out of 5 by 3.
Reliable, nontoxic combination dip strip gives accurate quantitative values in seconds. Available in vials of 50 strips each, except for Total Iron and Total Copper, which have 25 strips per vial, and Free and Total Chlorine, which has 30 strips per vial.
Rated 1 out of 5 by eshill from Did not work AT ALL! I bought these for a water quality project with my students because I wanted a way to test for copper but did not need to complete tap water test kit. Today we used these strips and they did not change color AT ALL. I even tested them in water that I had specifically added copper to as a control. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Klaus Hermann Wilhelm Tennstedt (; June 6, 1926 – January 11, 1998) was a German conductor from Merseburg. Known for his interpretation of the Austro-German repertoire, especially his sympathetic approaches towards Gustav Mahler, Tennstedt is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential conductors of the late 20th century. He worked with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the NDR Symphony Orchestra, world-top ensembles such as the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and most notably the London Philharmonic Orchestra, with which he was closely associated and recorded many of his celebrated recordings under the EMI label, including a cycle of Mahler's 10 symphonies.

Life and career

He studied violin and piano at the Leipzig Conservatory. He avoided military service during the Nazi era by joining a Baroque orchestra. He became concertmaster of the Halle Municipal Theater orchestra in 1948, but a finger injury ended his career as a violinist and he continued as a voice coach at the same theater.  Tennstedt then directed his talents toward conducting.  In 1958, he became music director of the Dresden Opera, and in 1962, music director of the Schwerin State Orchestra and Theatre.

He emigrated from East Germany in 1971, obtaining asylum in Sweden. He conducted in Gothenburg at the Göteborg Theater, and in Stockholm with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. In 1972, he became General Music Director of the Kiel Opera in northern Germany. From 1979 to 1981, he was chief conductor of the North German Radio Symphony Orchestra (NDR Symphony) in Hamburg, and during the same period (1979–82) was principal guest conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra in Minneapolis.

In 1974, Tennstedt made his North American debut with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. His first U.S. appearance was shortly after that, with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, on December 13, 1974, conducting an all-Brahms program.  The following week, his BSO Bruckner Symphony No. 8 earned laudatory reviews.  In Norman Lebrecht's The Maestro Myth, the story was told that when the Boston management asked Tennstedt what he wanted to conduct, he replied: "You mean I get to choose?"  His appearances were so highly acclaimed that as a result, Tennstedt was invited to guest-conduct at the Tanglewood Music Festival and Blossom Music Festival in 1975.

His only American opera engagement was a series of seven performances of Beethoven's Fidelio at the Metropolitan Opera, the last of which, on January 7, 1984, was broadcast.

Tennstedt then guest-conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony, the Cincinnati Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the New York Philharmonic.  In Europe, he guest- conducted the Bavarian Radio Symphony of Munich, the Berlin Philharmonic and the SDR Symphony (now the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra).

His London debut was with the London Symphony (LSO) in 1976.  In 1977 came his first engagement with the London Philharmonic (LPO), which led to his appointment as its principal guest conductor in 1980, and eventually as principal conductor in 1983.  Due to ill-health he resigned in 1987, but was later named its conductor laureate, returning to the LPO in 1986 to  record Mahler's Symphony No. 8 ("Symphony of a Thousand", EMI DSB-47625) and for Mahler concerts in November 1991 (Symphony No. 6) and May 1993 (Symphony No. 7).  His last guest appearance in the U.S. was with the New York Philharmonic in 1992, but on the advice of his physicians he retired from conducting altogether in October 1994.  The last time he conducted was in June 1994, at a rehearsal of a student orchestra at Oxford University, where he received an honorary doctorate a few days later.

In 1978 Tennstedt became the first German conductor of his generation to conduct the Israel Philharmonic, which until then had boycotted German conductors because of their connections with the Nazi regime.

His recordings include a complete cycle of the symphonies of Gustav Mahler, and several of Tennstedt's concert performances have been reissued on CD.

Picasso...Picasso...One of the most talented people I admire most.
This was shot at Picasso Museum. I didn't take any photos of Picasso's works; I knew it wasn't allowed to do that. I felt guilty after taking the picture of this great artist on the wall- when I took this photo I REALLY didn't know it wasn't allowed. Please just forgive me being so innocent and stupid.

Police in Zimbabwe have arrested 15 young people for demonstrating against President Robert Mugabe.
Five of the protesters, arrested Wednesday, were charged Friday in Harare Magistrate Court with resisting arrest and robbing two people who had passed by Africa Unity Square. Bail was set at $1,000 each.
The protesters' attorney, Obey Shava of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, said the charges were trumped up to intimidate them.
"I know that most of them are not able to raise $50 as bail," Shava said. "So effectively they have been denied bail.
Ten more activists at Africa Unity Square were arrested Friday.
Outside the court, other youths sang and vowed to continue demonstrating. They said they were fed up with Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since independence 36 years ago.
They named their movement the "16 Days Occupation," as they planned to camp for 16 days and nights at Africa Unity Square, which overlooks Zimbabwe's Parliament. The arrests began on the ninth day.
In all, about 200 people have camped out in the square. Most of them remained there Friday.
The movement is just the latest sign of mounting opposition to Mugabe, 92. Earlier this week, a group of church leaders issued a statement saying the country needed "transformation" to get out of its long-running economic problems.
One of those charged Friday was the brother of Itai Dzamara, an anti-Mugabe activist who has not been seen since March 2015. Rights groups said he was abducted by men believed to be state security agents.


The Diaries of a Glam Mama: Don't worry!
"Worries focus all your attention on what you *don't* want and put you in a state of *fear*. This sends a message to your child that you *expect* bad things to happen. And since children naturally tend to meet their parents' unspoken expectations, worries are self-fulfilling prophesies"
I remember being absolutely crippled with fear during the divorce that the decision will forever ruin my children's lives. Seriously, I'd feel like I couldn't even breathe...total panic.
But with time, I found peace in learning to LET GO of things I can't control. Worry serves NO PURPOSE! None at all! We all do the best we can do, and that's all we can give.
I have a natural tendency to be a worry wart, so I have to be conscious of that. I'm glad that I came upon this realization though - it allows me to be less stressed, more present, and able to give more of myself in every situation.
Are u back in he cyberworld my dear? Life's been treating u way too good hat why the long hiatus?? Hehehe keep me posted as I'm off facebook ;) by the way, Happy Raya to you and your fab fam or shall I say glam fam? Hehe either way, have a superb eid! Post some pics for my viewing plssss.


Food waste on the agenda in our dining areas.
Can you imagine what $1000 worth of food looks like? That is how much food an average household in Australia throws away each year.
So, we can only imagine how much food waste goes into the bins throughout workplaces on a daily basis.
Food waste contributes to global warming through the methane gas it releases as it decomposes within landfill.
With this in mind, MercyCare is taking action to try to divert food waste from landfill and instead have it composted, returning the carbon back into the soil cycle rather than the atmosphere.
We are doing this through a subscription to Kooda, a tech-enabled food scraps collection service operating here in Perth.
Starting with our central office in West Perth, staff are being asked to place all their food scraps and organic waste into the Kooda buckets that are now situated in the kitchens.
The buckets will be collected and swapped regularly for clean ones, with the waste being taken to be composted at Kooda's processing facility which efficiently transforms the waste into worm castings that can be purchased by the public for use in gardens.
It is hoped that this new way of dealing with waste will also act as a reminder to employees to consider ways of reducing, reusing and recycling and inspire them to think about how they deal with their own household waste.
The adoption of the Kooda system is part of our commitment to environmental sustainability and part of a wider focus on incorporating ecological principles into our organisation culture, and the operations of our service programs and facilities.
For broader waste management, MercyCare contracts Suez, who will also be able to provide data to identify waste improvements made by staff and the organisation.
