Which is of course ironic - since I am THE most grumpy person that I know. So firstly thanks to Nickie at Typecast for well... typecasting me and secondly to my pink haired soul sister Rosie Scribble for having too much time on her hands and coming up with the meme in the first place.
2. Post an image that makes you smile. It can be anything - a silly photo, an image taken from the internet, anything that puts a smile on your face (and isn't too rude!).
So... being such a miserable cow is not all Morrissey and Portishead you know.... I have thought, pondered and wracked my brain searching for a tune so cool and intelligent - that would blow you all away - but the cold honest truth is that High School Musical is where it's at in my stereo (and every one in the house) right now!
FunnyGirl loves this song and we have re-created Troy and Gabriella's roof top dalliance around my bedroom on many occasions. This simple interlude and the memory from it that is etched inside me will never stop lifting the darkness.
And if you can't stand that - then it really has to be a spot of The Smiths.
I challenge anyone to find a place that HSM and Morrissey are referenced in the same edit but here I go! Even though I cried myself to sleep every night through my sixteenth year listening to the extended 12" version of this master piece in it's full orchestrated misery, it now offers me great comfort and warmth.... enjoy!
A girl and her daddy and the sheer love that I captured in this kiss. How could this image fail to melt my heart. My FunnyGirl and her daddy... every time I look at this image I wish that that kiss was shared with me..
I must say, that photo is awesome.
Why am I late arriving at this post? I have no idea. Not sure where I've been for the past week. Anyway, better late than never. Thanks so much for doing this meme, it is all fabulous and I love that scene from HSM 3 as well. I stayed awake through that film but I will confess it brought a tear to my eye.
I love the line about me creating the meme because I have too much time on my hands. I have to admit you are damn right!!
oooh thanks for the tag. now what to do!? eccck.
Love that photo. Too cute. And totally understand why you wish it was you!
Does that mean that you want to snog my hubby? LOL!
What with me coming to your wedding - there is something not right about that!
That photo is just too cute for words! Made me smile despite a bad day.

We are privileged to write this editorialFootnote 1 at such a significant moment for the Postgraduate Psychology Program at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of its first course in 1988. Paired with the beginning of the postgraduate psychology program, our journal was launched, and we would like to take this opportunity to talk about its path as well. In Brazil, many scientific journals have been launched and continue to be associated with higher education institutions. Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica is one of these journals, affiliated with the Postgraduate Program in Psychology of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). The journal actually appeared in 1986 with a modest regional proposal to discuss current ideas on the relations between psychology as a profession and science, hence the original title in Portuguese of reflexão (reflection) and crítica (criticism). In 1985, after 31 years of military dictatorship, democracy was reestablished in the country, and universities were discussing the best options for their administrative and academic policies. Thus, Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica emerged, in the midst of these hearty discussions, as a precursor to the Postgraduate Program in Psychology created in 1987 and beginning its activities in March 1988. In its modest proposal, the journal adopted a scientific editorial style and soon attracted articles from researchers from leading Brazilian universities. The growing development of the Postgraduate course in psychology at UFRGS and the recognizable importance of the journal Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica can be related, as the journal played a great role in documenting the history of the program, the diffusion of the research and the discussions regarding the advances in postgraduate studies in psychology in Brazil. Through time, Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica became a singular periodical and a model in our context of pioneering initiatives towards internationalization (Remor, 2016). Mindful of its international vocation, the journal has been published under the SpringerOpen brand by Springer Nature since volume 29 of 2016. The journal also had its name updated in English to reflect better the scope of the journal, to be known as Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica | Psychology: Research and Review (Remor, 2016).
The first movements and origins of the postgraduate course in psychology may be found in December 1986, when Professor Terezinha Féres-Carneiro was invited to Porto Alegre to give a conference on family therapy at the university. On that occasion, Professors Claudio Hutz and William Gomes had a special meeting with her to elaborate on and plan the creation of the program and to think about the curricular structure based on previous experiences. To readers not familiar with postgraduate study levels in Brazil, professional training occurs in postsecondary education, called undergraduate, or undergrad, which leads to graduate, culminating in the professional degree. Professional licensing comes with the completion of the first 5 years of college, thus advanced postgraduate training in research and teaching grants master's and doctor's degrees.
During this meeting, they also talked about the challenges of simultaneously teaching in a postgraduate program, doing research, and being a practitioner (clinical psychologist) and how to reconcile these demands. In addition, they asked about the experience of Professor Féres-Carneiro as coordinator of postgraduate studies in clinical psychology at Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro, where they had just implemented the doctoral level the previous year (1985). This interview was recorded and published in the first issue of the Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica, entitled "Clinical Practice and Academic Work: An Interview with Psychologist Terezinha Féres-Carneiro" (Gomes & Hutz, 1987).
They were also intrigued with what would be suitable conditions for an institution to organize a postgraduate course in psychology at the master's and doctoral levels. At that time, the national requirements were that at least 50% of the faculty should teach in the main research concentration area, with the other part teaching in related areas. Today, the requirements are not so rigid, and the emphasis is placed on teaching and research production with the curriculum structured to suit the program's lines of research.
Recalling the history of postgraduate psychology training in Brazil, we see that, in the 1960s, the only existing master's degree in psychology was at Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro. In the 1970s, master's degrees were created in the cities of São Paulo, Brasília, Porto Alegre and João Pessoa. In 1978, the evaluation system was instituted by Coordenação do Aperfeiçoamento do Pessoal do Ensino Superior (CAPES) in order to better evaluate and monitor the expanding programs, and in 1982, the CAPES agency became consolidated as a government postgraduate studies coordinator. In the 1980s, master's programs in psychology were implanted in Recife and Natal. In the following decade, Belém, Florianópolis, Belo Horizonte, and Campo Grande added programs. In the 2000s, Salvador, Vitória, Goiânia, and Manaus implemented postgraduate studies. More recently, programs were implemented in Porto Velho and São Luís. Regarding the doctoral level, until 1970, there was no program in the area. In the 1970s, the first doctoral programs were created in São Paulo.
From the 1980s, doctoral programs in psychology emerged in several states, such as the state of Rio de Janeiro. In the 1990s, doctoral programs were organized in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Pará, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, Espírito Santo, and Brasilia DF. In the 2000s, the states of Santa Catarina, Minas Gerais, Bahia, Goiás, and Ceará created their doctoral programs. Thus, 20 Brazilian states already had postgraduate programs, of which only three did not offer a doctorate degree: Rondônia, Amazonas, and Maranhão.
The goal of implementing psychology postgraduate programs in all Brazilian states has been longstanding (Féres-Carneiro, Bastos, Feitosa, Seidl-de-Moura, & Yamamoto, 2010). Today, this goal has almost been reached. Only six of the 26 states of the federation do not have postgraduate studies in psychology: Roraima, Amapá, Acre (Northern region), Mato Grosso and Tocantins (Center-west region), and Piauí (Northeast region). In total, we now have 84 postgraduate programs in psychology in Brazil. Forty are in the Southeast, 17 in the Northeast, 11 in the South, 11 in the Center-west, and 5 in the North. Of the 84 programs, 53 have master's and doctorate levels, and 31 of them only have the master's level, with 25 academic master's and six professional master's.
In addition, as noted by Féres-Carneiro et al. (2010), the creation of professional master's programs coupled with already consolidated academic postgraduate programs was one of the goals of academics. A professional master's degree is an applied modality of postgraduate studies, whose objective is to contribute to the national productive sector, offering advanced training in techniques, processes, or themes that meets the labor market demand. For a long time, the area was refractory to considering the possibility of proposing a professional master's program. Thus, the first program was created in 2013. Currently, there are nine approved professional master's programs, although only three have been included in the last 4-year evaluation period. These programs are evaluated using criteria different from those used to evaluate academic programs. The states with programs in operation or in preparation include Rio de Janeiro (three), São Paulo (three), Pernambuco (two), and Rio Grande do Norte (one).
Returning to the history of the Postgraduate Program in Psychology of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, which is one of the oldest program, the course has emerged as a center of excellence in research and the training of teacher-researchers, with extensive international placement, since being established. In 1988, the program had only five faculty members. Six years after the implementation of the master's program, in 1994, the doctorate program was started and had 12 permanent faculty members and two collaborators.
The program's continued growth was recognized by the excellent evaluations obtained from the CAPES agency. In the triennium 1998–2000, the Postgraduate Program in Psychology of UFRGS earned a score of "five;" in the following period, it earned a score of "six;" and since the triennium 2004–2006, it has maintained a score of "seven," the maximum score of the CAPES evaluation.
A couple of years after the program's twentieth anniversary, professors William Gomes and Claudio Hutz published an article entitled "Historical and conceptual notes on the Graduate Program in Psychology of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul" in Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica; the article documented information of value about the program's growth. At that point, the course had 18 faculties, 17 with the distinction of having received a Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) researcher productivity scholarship (Gomes & Hutz, 2010). Surprisingly, the largest set of CNPq productivity researchers in a single program was in the Postgraduate Program in Psychology of UFRGS. Today, the program has 20 permanent and three collaborating faculty members. Among the permanent professors, 17 are CNPq productivity scholarship holders, continuing the tradition of having the largest contingent of scholars in a single program.
When created 30 years ago as a master's degree in developmental psychology, the program had a single line of research and a curricular structure composed of six compulsory courses and 15 electives, of which the student should study five. Today, counting the master's and doctoral degrees in psychology, after extensive internal discussion held in 2015, the program is organized into four lines of research: (1) psychological assessment and measurement; (2) human development; (3) health, prevention, and intervention; and (4) cognitive and behavioral neuroscience. The journal Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica has four sections with a specific scope to be analogous to the fields of expertise of our postgraduate program.
To expand the lines of research, the curriculum is now organized around four major axes: thematic topics, methodology, academic, and complementary skills. The disciplines are offered in three modalities—obligatory, alternative, and elective—, a structure that bears a resemblance to the course's initial proposal, despite the difference in relation to the multiple and innovative current developments.
Thus, the Postgraduate Program in Psychology of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul followed the growth of the country. In 2012, the number of programs evaluated by CAPES was 69; this number jumped to 84 in 2016. As a result, there was also an increase in the number of faculty members, which went from 1212 to 1558 in the same period. The postgraduate programs in the area have from 9 to 43 faculty members, with an average of 18.5 faculty members per program. Permanent faculty members represent 77% of the professors in Brazilian programs, with the remaining being visiting or collaborating professors. The intellectual production of the area has also greatly increased, increasing by 80% in the last 4 years, compared to the previous triennia, the period of years previously used in the CAPES evaluation (currently, evaluations are carried out every 4 years). Currently, the Postgraduate Program in Psychology of UFRGS has 23 faculties, which is higher than the faculty average per program in Brazil. The stability of the faculty staff is worth noting. Three of the founders, professors Claudio Hutz, William Gomes and Cesar Piccinini remain in the program to this day. Others hired in the 1990s and 2000s remain in the program. The program has also sought to renew its faculty by incorporating young, productive researchers.
In the last CAPES assessment, the overall H-Score (Google Scholar) for the programs in the area was 9.26, and programs with H-scores above 10.5 are considered "Very Good" or as having a faculty with high maturity (Bastos, Tomanari, & Trindade, 2017). The faculty of the Postgraduate Program in Psychology of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul has the highest average H-Score among all the programs in the area: 25.8 (almost three times higher than the average of among the programs). It was also assessed to have a remarkable academic maturity and high qualification, a quality common to its professors. In addition, several professors hold important positions in the decision-making committees of development agencies such as CAPES and CNPq, in the directorates of scientific societies, with publishers of national and international journals, and in the coordination research groups at the Associação Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-graduação em Psicologia (ANPEPP). In addition, the majority of its professors are involved in some form of international exchange linked to their research projects.
Moreover, according to the 2017 Quadrennial Report (Bastos et al., 2017), the intellectual production, both by quantity and quality, of the Postgraduate Program in Psychology of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul is the highest in the area. The program also held this status in previous triennia and the most recent 4-year evaluation, indicating the excellence level of the program. The average contribution per permanent faculty per year was 397 points, near the maximum possible value of 400, based on the table of best production per year (in this classification, only the highest evaluated journals count). The average quality of articles, books, and chapters was 96, which is equivalent to the top classification for high-quality chapters and books. This production is fairly well distributed among the faculty, and 85% of the faculty members produced above average for programs at the top of the CAPES assessment scale. In addition, production is highly internationalized. Approximately 84% of the articles were published in international journals or in English, in higher nationally evaluated journals (Qualis first and second quartiles). Thus, the last CAPES evaluation noted that the Postgraduate Program in Psychology of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul had the most outstanding scientific production in psychology in Brazil. With all these highlights, even in relation to other programs awarded a score of 7 by CAPES (that is, only two others), we can say that the Postgraduate Program in Psychology of UFRGS is one of the best programs in the area, standing out from so many others, including some traditional programs, getting the highest score in the evaluations since 2004.
Another historical dimension of postgraduate studies in psychology in the country where the Postgraduate Program in Psychology of UFRGS played a very important role was the collaboration with ANPEPP. In 1988, the first symposium of the ANPEPP took place in Caruaru, PE, organized by Ana Lucia Schliemann, who was at that time a professor at the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. Twelve programs participated in the symposium, and each program could send up to three delegates. For Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro, the delegates were Circe Navarro Vital Brasil (1930–1995), Ana Maria Nicolaci, and Teresinha Féres-Carneiro. For Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, they were Ângela Maria Brasil Biaggio (1940–2003), William Gomes, and Claudio Hutz. At the time, the symposia were scheduled to take place every year. In 1989, professors Claudio Hutz and William Gomes, organized the second symposium in Gramado, RS, proposing an innovative format that is maintained to this day and is implemented for other scientific events in the country. The format of working groups ("grupos de trabalho", i.e., network groups of researchers and faculty from different regions of the country with research and interest in common topics) has been very successful and continues to this day. At the second symposium, there were 10 working groups, who gathered with great eagerness in Gramado. In 1990, the third symposium took place in Águas de São Pedro, SP, and from then on, they were held every two years (even-numbered years). The number of ANPEPP working groups can easily evidence the growth of the area over the last 30 years. The second symposium held in Gramado, RS, in 1989 had 10 registered working groups. For the seventeenth symposium (2018), in Brasilia, DF, 81 working groups registered, and 79 have currently been approved.
The journal Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica has represented all these changes and advances as a kind of public notary, documenting the facts as they occur. As an example, the journal published a special issue in 2015 that included 13 articles and documented the dialogs with researchers from other countries from the ANPEPP's Forum around issues facing Brazilian scientific policies, including analysis of international relations on research and publication by scholars from different countries, evaluation of English language in articles of the top five Brazilian psychology journals, a detailed description of the Brazilian postgraduate education system for the non-Brazilian world, and a description of ANPEPP's Symposium from the perspective of an observer from the American Psychological Association (Gomes & Fradkin, 2015).
In recent years, with the full professionalization of the journal Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica, the diffusion and metrics of the journal (i.e., impact factor, altmetrics, usage factor, and social media impact) have been consistently increasing. Along with an increasing interest from international researchers to publish in the journal. Recent data provided by Google analytics (June 2018) indicate a 35% increase in visits to our main website (https://prc.springeropen.com/) from 2016 to 2017. The ten countries with the highest access to the website in 2017 were (data within parenthesis indicates proportion in comparison with other countries) Brazil (26.7%), the United States (15.9%), the United Kingdom (7.5%), India (5.4%), Portugal (4.9%), Spain (2.6%), Australia (3.2%), Canada (2.2%), Philippines (1.9%), and the Netherlands (2.0%).
The tireless work of the current and former editors of Psicologia: Reflexão e Crítica over its 31 years of existence is an important piece of its success. This journal has been one of the most important publications on psychology in the country, presenting Brazilian research in psychology to the world abroad and being one of the few Brazilian journals ranking in the first quartile ("A1") in the area's Qualis (CAPES journal ranking).
Finally, we would like to pay tribute to the founders of the Postgraduate Program in Psychology of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Professors Claudio Hutz, William Gomes, Cesar Piccinini, and the retired professors Tânia Mara Sperb and Maria Alice de Mattos Parente, who also contributed so much to the research lines on human development and neuropsychology, respectively. In particular, we would like to mention the dear teacher to many among us, Ângela Maria Brasil Biaggio. Professor Biaggio was a pioneer in developmental psychology research in the country. Unfortunately, she is no longer with us, but she gave us, like so many other great masters, an inheritance. She, like the great masters, taught us that this heritage can be transformed, leading us to be unafraid to dare and innovate, a legacy that we too must leave to our students and to the new generations, in the exercise of our gratifying profession to prepare them well for teaching and for research.

Nationalteatern i Budapest i Ungern invigdes 22 augusti 1837.   Det är Ungerns nationalteater. Teatern har sedan sitt öppnande varit inhyst i en rad olika byggnader. Dess nuvarande byggnad invigdes 2002.

Öppnandet av en nationalscen i Ungern föreslogs 1832. När teatern invigdes ersatte den Hovteatern i Buda, där det första ungersktalande teatersällskapet hade uppträtt 1790, och den nya teatern övertog då sin föregångares personal.

The day will come when the seed of Joseph Smith will roar as the Lion that Jesus is the Christ
You remember very well how it was with Terah, the father of Abraham. He was of the chosen seed, but he was an idolater. Yet he was heir to the promises, and because of that Abraham, through that heirship, and through descent, or the blessing that came through that descent, was able to go unto God and to plead for and receive the blessings that God had promised through the fathers unto him and unto all who belonged to that chosen seed. And so it maybe with us. There may be faithful men who will have unfaithful sons, who may not be as faithful as they might be; but faithful posterity will come, just as I believe it will be the case with the Prophet Joseph's seed. To-day he has not a soul descended from him personally, in this Church. There is not a man bearing the Holy Priesthood, to stand before our God in the Church that Joseph was the means in the hands of God, of founding—not a man to-day of his own blood,—that is, by descent,—to stand before the Lord, and represent him among these Latter-day Saints. But will this always be the case? No. Just as sure as God lives, just as sure as God has made promises, so sure will some one of Joseph Smith's posterity rise up and be numbered with this Church and bear the everlasting Priesthood that Joseph himself held. It may be delayed in the wise providence of our God. There are many things that we cannot understand, cannot see the reason why they should be so; but these promises are unalterable God made them to Joseph during his lifetime; and they will be fulfilled just as sure as God made them. He (Joseph) will have among this people, some one descended from his own loins, who will bear the everlasting Priesthood, and who will honor and magnify that Priesthood among the Latter-day Saints… DISCOURSE BY PRESIDENT GEORGE Q. CANNON, Delivered in the Stake Meeting House, Ephraim, Sanpete County, November 16th, 1884. REPORTED BY JOHN IRVINE

Successful Partner Visa Appeal
In this post, we share a story about a successful partner visa appeal which was completed on behalf of a QC Immigration client.
Are you looking for help in preparing a UK Partner visa application?

Visa granted: Entry Clearance (Settlement) – 5 years Partner route
*All names and identifying details have been changed to protect the privacy of our clients.
Ms. A approached QC Immigration for help after receiving a refusal from her Entry Clearance Application as the Civil Partner of a Person Present and Settled in the UK. Her female partner, Ms. B, is considered a Settled person as she holds Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. Therefore, Ms. B is the Sponsor. The application was initially submitted by their previous solicitors and refused by the Home Office under paragraph EC-P1.1(d) of Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules, specifically E-ECP.2.6 and 2.10. It was refused on the grounds that they were not satisfied that the relationship was genuine and subsisting, and that the couple did not intend to live together permanently in the UK.
Relationship & Civil Partnership
The couple first met in 2004 and began cohabiting in 2008. They entered into a Civil Partnership in 2011.
Unfortunately, Ms. A was an overstayer in the UK at that time as her earlier visa had expired for 6 months. Despite their same-sex relationship receiving tremendous support from family and friends in the UK, the couple did not want to be in further breach of any Immigration Rules that would essentially affect their relationship. They arranged for Ms. A to returned to her home country, Malaysia, in order to submit an appropriate visa application to return to the UK. This was in accordance to Home Office procedural rules, as any application made within the UK by an overstayer (in the absence of a subsisting relationship with a Settled/British child), would have been refused outright).
Sexuality & Financial Issues
Upon Ms. A's return to Malaysia, coming from a small family with no surviving parents, her closest family member is her sister who had converted to Islam upon marriage and strongly opposed the same-sex relationship. Ms. A did not want to leave Malaysia without obtaining her sister's acceptance. This caused the couple a lot of distress and decided to postpone their returning visa application. In addition, some of their friends in Malaysia were also not accepting of their homosexual relationship and treated her very differently. All the emotional hardship deterred Ms. B from visiting Ms. A in Malaysia, in fear of exacerbating the opposition from family and friends. Furthermore, Malaysia has laws which prohibits same-sex marriages and any homosexual acts are severely punishable.
Eventually in 2013, the couple decided to proceed with the visa application as they could no longer bear the separation. However, Ms. B, could not show that she had earnings equivalent to an annual salary of £18,600 in order to meet the Appendix FM financial requirements under the UK Immigration Rules.
Visa Application & Initial Home Office Refusal
Fortunately by 2015, Ms. A's sister began softening her stance and became more accepting of the couple's relationship after realizing how truly emotionally-dependent they were on each other. Ms. B had also improved her financial circumstances by then to meet the Financial Requirement.
In March 2015, Ms. A applied for Entry Clearance as Ms. B's Civil Partner to enter the UK on the Settlement Route and the application was subsequently refused in May 2015 on the grounds that the Application did not meet the Relationship Requirements. The Home Office highlighted, in their refusal letter, that the couple had not met for over 5 years following Ms. A's departure from the UK. The Home Office dismissed reasons discussed above for their long separation as unsubstantiated.
Following this, Ms. A appointed QC Immigration to lodge an appeal under section 82(1) of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.
We immediately requested a complete file transfer from the previous solicitors and notified the Immigration & Asylum Chamber (First-tier Tribunal) about the change in legal representation. We commenced in-depth research, scrutiny of the documents and interviewed all relevant parties to gather facts and evidence.New witness statements were taken, additional documents were requested, photographs and receipts were gathered and an Appeal Bundle was carefully prepared. Given the delicate nature of the case, we advised the clients on the procedures in order to manage their expectations. We also arranged an Interpreter for the Sponsor who spoke Mandarin.
At court, our Counsel put forward persuasive legal arguments and the Bundle was very helpful. Various evidence from the couple's communication was presented. The Judge was convinced that the couple was in a genuine and subsisting relationship. A decision was made there and then – the hearing ended in 15 minutes.
The court determination was later forwarded to us. The final judgment scrutinised case law such as Goudey (subsisting marriage – evidence) Sudan [2012] UKUT 00041 (IAC). Blake J, the then President of the Upper Tribunal's Immigration and Asylum Chamber, confirmed GA ("Subsisting" marriage) Ghana [2006] UKAIT 00046 which held that the correct test in assessing whether a marriage is subsisting is as follows;
The matrimonial relationship must continue at the relevant time, but it does not require the production of particular evidence of mutual devotion.
Evidence of telephone cards in capable of being corroborative of the contention of the parties communicating, even if such data cannot confirm the particular number used to phone the country in question. It's not a requirement that the parties also write or text each other.
Evidence of many telephone calls during the period of the relationship is substantial support that they conducted their relationship by telephone.
The Judge also referred to Naz (subsisting marriage – standard of proof) Pakistan [2012] UKUT 00040 (IAC) which held that post decision visits by a Sponsor to his spouse are admissible in evidence in appeals to show the marriage is subsisting. Finally, the Judge acknowledged the resistance from Ms. A's sister.

We hope that the case study presented here has outlined some of the issues and concerns associated with refusal of Entry Clearance Visas. QC Immigration has a history of successful applications as well as appeals. The in-depth work, research and time put into this case was ultimately what made the case successful. Clients are often discouraged by the lengthy immigration rules and requirements in a case like this. QC Immigration is well equipped to handle complicated cases as such.

Go inside the high-security lab where scientists search for a coronavirus vaccine
There's a global effort to find a vaccine for the novel coronavirus. Scientists at a Saskatoon lab have already begun work inside their Level 3 containment lab.
Researchers at VIDO-InterVac take us inside a Level 3 lab where they work with deadly viruses

A day at the office for virologist Darryl Falzarano includes donning two layers of rubber gloves, a sealed body suit and an astronaut-like helmet, then taking a shower every time he steps outside the lab.
The strict safety protocols are necessary to handle potentially lethal pathogens, and to develop vaccines that could stop them.
Falzarano is the lead investigator for a Saskatoon team tackling the coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China, last month. It has infected almost 6,000 people, and killed more than 130, and has spread to more than a dozen countries including Canada.
In a rare opportunity, Falzarano escorted CBC News inside a containment lab at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization - International Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac) on the University of Saskatchewan campus. VIDO-InterVac is one of the largest, most advanced infectious disease research sites in the world and the lab is in the second-highest category of safety; biosafety level 3 is for work involving microbes that can cause serious and potentially lethal disease by inhalation.

Researchers have already started preliminary work on a vaccine, using what they've learned in the past from other strains of coronaviruses.
The handful of new coronavirus cases in Canada will likely speed up their work, Falzarano says. VIDO-InterVac has requested a sample from the Public Health Agency of Canada and Public Health Ontario.
Researchers also ordered ingredients to build their own synthetic version of the coronavirus, using genome sequencing information from China. But making their own would take weeks.
Getting a sample of the virus "is a lot faster than reconstructing it ourselves," Falzarano said.
His goal is to create a vaccine prototype within six to eight weeks, to be followed by animal testing.
Inside the lab: Scientists tackle vaccine for novel coronavirus in high security lab
Scientists at a Saskatoon lab are part of a global effort to find a vaccine for the novel coronavirus.
Can't be rushed
The 285,000-square foot research facility can house large animals, like bison and cattle, for testing. Scientists at VIDO-InterVac recently developed a vaccine for a coronavirus that killed 10 million pigs in North America, and Falzarano uses alpacas to test vaccines that would combat the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus.
For this latest coronavirus, Falzarano expects to test a vaccine on ferrets, as researchers did with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), the coronavirus that infected about 8,000 people during the global outbreak of 2003.
Human trials for this latest coronavirus are at least a year away. Falzarano cautions that some things can't be rushed.
The VIDO-InterVac team has 50 scientists from 26 countries. (Bonnie Allen/CBC)
"Everyone can work as hard as they can, and as fast as they can, but certain processes take a certain amount of time and it's really hard to work faster than that," he said.
The team's research is part of a global effort says VIDO-InterVac executive director Volker Gerdts.
"I wouldn't say it's a race. I mean, right now, this disease is really a concern to everyone on this planet," Gerdts said, adding that his team will share their findings with other scientists.
PhD student Swarali Kulkarni has been working on vaccine development for camels to thwart the transmission of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), another strain of coronavirus, from camels to humans. (Bonnie Allen/CBC)
'Prepare for the worst'
Researchers at VIDO-InterVac worked on a potential vaccine for SARS in 2003. But when cases disappeared, the funding dried up. Research never advanced to human trials.
Falzarano says researchers have to tackle this latest coronavirus as though it could turn into a pandemic.
"We don't know that this is a once-and-done scenario, so I think you always have to prepare for the worst case scenario," he said.
Level 3 containment facilities require all of the air, water and waste to be treated before leaving the building. (Don Somers/CBC)
Falzarano says he doesn't think a SARS vaccine, if it had been developed, would be effective on this one.
However, those three strains of coronovirus that can be deadly to humans have underscored the need for a "pan-coronavirus vaccine."
That's the ultimate goal of this research team. Scientists propose using structural biology and protein engineering to develop wide-serving vaccines that could protect against multiple strains of coronaviruses.
The lab has 'critical, very sophisticated infrastructure to prevent the escape of any infectious materials,' said biosafety officer Tracey Thue. (Don Somers/CBC)
VIDO-InterVac's $18 million annual costs are funded mostly by Ottawa and the province.
A vaccine development project can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in the early phases, then millions as development nears the manufacturing phase.
VIDO-InterVac is both a research and development centre, but work can stall when it's time to manufacture a vaccine, because of limited capacity.
"We don't have capacity in the country, or not as much as we used to have," Gerdts said. "So when these situations like this one arise, we have to go to other countries to get our technologies manufactured in those countries. So it's really a bottleneck for public research like ours."
Gerdts wants to attract more government funding for VIDO-InterVac to add manufacturing into its operation.

GTC 2020: Nvidia doubles-down on its UK AI investments
By Ryan Daws | October 5, 2020 | TechForge Media
Categories: NVIDIA,
Ryan is a senior editor at TechForge Media with over a decade of experience covering the latest technology and interviewing leading industry figures. He can often be sighted at tech conferences with a strong coffee in one hand and a laptop in the other. If it's geeky, he's probably into it. Find him on Twitter (@Gadget_Ry) or Mastodon (@gadgetry@techhub.social)
Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, has kicked off the company's annual GTC conference with a series of AI announcements—including a doubling-down of its UK investments.
NVIDIA is investing heavily in the UK's accelerating AI sector. The company announced its acquisition of legendary semiconductor giant Arm for $40 billion back in September along with the promise to open a new AI centre in Cambridge.
"We will create an open centre of excellence in the area once home to giants like Isaac Newton and Alan Turing, for whom key NVIDIA technologies are named," Huang said at the time. "We want to propel Arm – and the UK – to global AI leadership."
NVIDIA promises to advance Arm's platform in three major ways:
NVIDIA will complement Arm partners with GPU, networking, storage and security technologies to create complete accelerated platforms.
NVIDIA will work with Arm partners to create platforms for HPC, cloud, edge and PC — this requires chips, systems, and system software.
NVIDIA will port the NVIDIA AI and NVIDIA RTX engines to Arm.
"Today, these capabilities are available only on x86," Huang said, "With this initiative, Arm platforms will also be leading-edge at accelerated and AI computing."
Huang also provided more details about NVIDIA's effort to build the UK's fastest supercomputer, the Cambridge-1.
Cambridge-1 will boast 400 petaflops of AI performance and will be used by NVIDIA for its vast AI and healthcare collaborations in the UK across academia, industry, and startups.
"Tackling the world's most pressing challenges in healthcare requires massively powerful computing resources to harness the capabilities of AI," said Huang. "The Cambridge-1 supercomputer will serve as a hub of innovation for the UK and further the groundbreaking work being done by the nation's researchers in critical healthcare and drug discovery."
The company's first partners are AstraZeneca, GSK, King's College London, the Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, and startup Oxford Nanopore. A partnership with GSK will also see the world's first AI drug discovery lab built in London.
"Because of the massive size of the datasets we use for drug discovery, we need to push the boundaries of hardware and develop new machine learning software," commented Dr Kim Branson, senior vice president and global head of AI and ML at GSK.
"We're building new algorithms and approaches in addition to bringing together the best minds at the intersection of medicine, genetics and artificial intelligence in the UK's rich ecosystem. This new partnership with NVIDIA will also contribute additional computational power and state-of-the-art AI technology."
While there were some natural concerns that Arm's acquisition would see operations move from the UK to the US, NVIDIA clearly wants to build up its operations in what's quickly becoming Europe's AI epicentre.

This instructable is an updated version of a project that I've done this year. The first lamp had some problems: the wire used to make the ball was easily unwrapping, it didn't have a base and the power cord wasn't suitable for it.
The main parts are two kinds of copper wire, a thinner one to cover the sphere and a thicker one to make the its structure and of course a light bulb and a power cord. I used a microwave lamp and a power cord with a switch. The base was made using wood from an old planter (but pallet can also work fine), a thin mdf square and some wood pieces.
Step 2: Glue Them All!
The base of the lamp is basically a box. There are several ways to make it but, I did by gluing the wood blocks on the corners and then the mdf square on top. I also made some holes to fix the lamp holder and pass the power cord.
The main problem with te first version of the lamp was the copper wire sphere. To keep its shape and from unwrapping, I made a "cage" using a thicker wire and some solder to form some circles and join them. A can served as a mold to make the circles. Using a cd pen I marked where the wire would join and then soldered.
The sphere has to connect to the base, but how? This little piece was made using the same wire from the structure and the same technique of soldering. After making it solder it to the structure and you're almost done!
That can be the most stressful step but using the structure can help a lot. You don't need to make it at once, you can wrap some wire and when it starts coming off shape just stop, cut it and use some short pieces of it to fasten the wire to the structure and keep doing it until the sphere is covered.
Almost done! Power cord connects to the lamp holder, screws go on the bottom of the sphere. Align the screws with the holes from the base and there you have it! Enjoy your copper wire sphere and vote on this instructable!
woah this is so cool looking!

Kate is the mother of two wonderful boys. Her first son born in 1998, and she went into the birth believing that if she took a childbirth education class, hired a doula, and wrote a birth plan, she could have a natural birth in a large teaching hospital. Instead, after the birth she struggled to figure out how her experience had included every intervention except for a cesarean section. She felt she and her baby both had been harmed, physically and emotionally, by this unnecessary experience. She was introduced to a midwife and began the process of learning about birth. In the autumn of 1998 she began attending midwifery classes at The Art of Midwifery School in Media, PA with Joanne Dozor, CPM, and completed the 3-year program in 2001.
In 2000, her second son was born at home into the hands of her teacher, Joanne. The difference between the management of her pregnancies and births cemented her calling to provide home-based midwifery care to other families. She attended births with midwives in the area, gaining hands on experience and increasing her skills. In 2003, she began practicing independently at the urging of her three preceptors and opened the Rising Moon office.
Over the years, she has participated in training many local midwives, doulas, and birth assistants. Those selected to work with Rising Moon clients have demonstrated superior knowledge, skill, intuitive understanding of birthing women and babies, as well as a belief in the Rising Moon philosophy. Assistants are matched to each mother according to the mother's history, personality, and geography. All of the midwifery assistants are very excited to participate in the Rising Moon tradition of providing the kind of care to families they themselves would appreciate if they were the clients.
Tyler began working with Rising Moon in 2012 while also working as an RN at a birth center. Her own birth stories shaped the type of care that she wanted to give, so it only made sense for her to move on and become full-time with RM in 2014. Her second baby was at home with Kate in 2007. Tyler has seen what birth looks like in every setting as a mother and as a care-giver. It is truly a privilege for her to provide families with the personalized care they deserve and that she would choose for herself.
Tyler has a diverse clinical background in nursing – pediatric & geriatric home care, hospice and birth center. She is a trained birth and postpartum doula. She completed the Midwife Assistant training with the Midwives at The Farm in Tennessee and teaches Infant Massage Classes. She earned her CPM in 2016.


Chris Lake at Econsultancy has listed 25 reasons why he'd leave a website in 10 seconds. It's a good list.
Reason 22 (No About page)stood out for me because it has always seemed to me that people and brands either do not have these pages or have very poor ones.
As Lake says: I often visit a website simply to find out more information about the company, and whenever the About page is missing I ever so slightly lose the will to live.
From my experience, these pages present businesses with problems – usually to do with the marketing messages that need to be included. Brands do have problems articulating what they do concisely and without using jargon. My rule of thumb for this is to say it out loud and to someone else – not a colleague. If it sounds OK then it will work.
Yes, these pages are important. They are where you tell the world who you are, what you do and how you do it. If you are in business – or on the web for that matter, I am not sure why you would not do that.

What is the Illinois Department of Human Rights ("IDHR")?
Illinois Human Rights Act ("Act"), the state's anti-discrimination law. IDHR's mission is to secure for all individuals within the State of Illinois freedom from unlawful discrimination and to establish and to promote equal opportunity and affirmative action as the policy of Illinois and its residents. IDHR provides a number of services in partnership with business, state and local government agencies, community-based organizations, and individuals. These services include investigating allegations of prohibited discrimination, training, public contract assistance, education/outreach, technical assistance, and monitoring implementation of equal employment opportunities and affirmative action in state agencies.
The Illinois Human Rights Act is the state law prohibiting discrimination in the areas of employment, real estate (housing) transactions, access to financial credit, and public accommodations. Passed in 1979, the Act created the Illinois Department of Human Rights ("IDHR")and the Illinois Human Rights Commission ("IHRC"). IDHR is responsible for enforcing the anti-discrimination provisions of the Act. The Commission is responsible for reviewing and making decisions on complaints of discrimination after IDHR's investigation has found substantial evidence of unlawful discrimination.
Please refer to the IHRC's website for additional information about that agency's activities.
The Illinois Department of Human Rights' (IDHR) Institute for Training and Development conducts valuable trainings to organizations and companies throughout Illinois designed to increase respect among diverse cultures both in the workplace and at home.
These life skills and self-assessment trainings aim to provide timely and accurate information with respect to federal and state laws regarding fair employment practices; ways to resolve conflict; and requirements for non-discrimination. Much, if not all of what is learned in class has practical applications in terms of how we interact and cope in our culturally diverse society.
IDHR Training Institute participants will be instructed on employer obligations under the Illinois Human Rights Act, as well as applicable rules and regulations promulgated by this statute. Training participants are guided through real-life scenarios to aid in understanding the application of the law in more pragmatic terms. In addition, valuable resource materials including publications and handouts are supplied for the purposes of independent study and on-the-job reference tools.
All trainings, workshops and seminars offered by the IDHR Institute for Training and Development are interactive and appropriate for private sector, local, state and federal government employers. Our certified trainers offer a wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of non-discrimination. The training curricula are constantly updated to reflect the most current information and changes in the law.
IDHR's Public Contracts Unit registers entities seeking to establish eligibility status for competitively bidding on state contracts. The Public Contracts Unit also conducts compliance audits of registered entities to ensure that the registered eligible bidders and public contractors are meeting their obligations required by the Illinois Human Rights Act.
What education and outreach activities does IDHR provide?

Q: Мультипроцессинг python Всем привет. Нужна ваша помощь! У меня есть парсер-бот, который сначала получает данные с 3 источников, потом берет каждый элемент по очереди из LIST, взаимодействует с ним и полученными данными, делает проверку, выводит нужные и потом берет следующий элемент из LIST, когда закончатся элементы - делает снова запрос к 3 источникам и снова проверяет все эти элементы. Мне нужно, чтобы бот только один раз получил данные из requests, и потом в несколько процессов пошел проверять список LIST по этим данным. Как список закончился - снова один раз получил эти данные и пошел проверять список. Я пытался применять пул, но у меня совсем что-то не получилось. Буду очень благодарен за любой совет!
def requests():
    a = session.get...
    b = session.get...
    c = session.get...
def main():
    for item in LIST:
# берет элемент, обрабатывает его и отдает через yield
# этот элемент потом идет через много фильтров, если пройдет - выводится значение, если
нет - берется следующий элемент, который снова идет через фильтры

While True:
    requests()
    main()

Look pretty in a kurta from Aasi - House Of Nayo and get it in yellow. LimeRoad has something for everyone.
Swank this kurta in vivid patterns priced at ₹422. LimeRoad always gives you the hottest styles at the lowest prices.


And today - flowers either in a shop or at home at 10p each. Did ten in my garden - all approved. Ten seems to be the limit on this task.
Also made sure none of the images were of the quality to be sellable - if as some above assume Mobeye are trying to sell the images on.
My garden only has weeds in it. I don't do plants! Wonder if they fancy a dandelion picture?
Give it a go. I photographed a couple of 'weeds'.
Currently lots of easy Photo requests on here. I just got 10p back for each item from my weekly shop. As @mabozza said it wont make you a millionaire but nice, easy free money!
I got my 10year old doing as many as she could on Sunday. All but one was accepted. Made over £28 in the day, she's happy cos I've said she can have it as spending money for our holiday over half term. Still loads of ones on there we can do as well.
How long does it usually take to see the money once you've cashed out?
I cashed out on Monday and I'm still waiting. Last time I cashed out it took 4 days.
OK Thanks. I've never cashed out before just kept collecting. Requested first cash out on 24th Sep and still waiting. Perhaps because there's so many photo requests at the moment its taking a little longer to process.
Checked Mobeye today and saw flyers and book pages in the list so have made a bit finding random books and taking a pic of some pages, even accepted with my fingers pinning the book down! 10p per pic but so easy I don't mind and popped up to the tourist information 5 mins up the road and that was the flyers sorted.. all accepted and they varied in size, description and place..
I'm confused.do I need to install mobeye and you take photos of shop fronts for cash?
Hello, it's an app that you install which lists various objects that you take a picture of so for example today book pages appeared so you just grab a book open it up and take a picture. Same with any flyers you may have lying around at home, there's no going out if for example you have a random book at home. It's only 10p a photo for those but it's so easy and soon adds up.
Last week laptops, PC and speakers (any) appeared for 20p a pic so just poppped in Curry's/PC World in my lunch and took a lot of pics! No big survey, just type in the make and model with those ones. With the books/flyers just take the pic and submit.
Hope that helps, it's £7 to cash out.

Delta unveils first biometric terminal in U.S. in Atlanta; next stop: Detroit
By Kathryn Steele • posted Nov. 29, 2018 6:00 am
Starting this December, customers can use facial recognition technology from curb to gate at ATL's Concourse F and to board at DTW
Today, Delta Air Lines, in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), unveiled the first biometric terminal in the United States at Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal and Concourse F in Atlanta, announced earlier this fall.
This means that customers flying direct to an international destination on Delta, Aeromexico, Air France, KLM or Virgin Atlantic Airways can use facial recognition technology from curb to gate, including to:
Check in at the self-service kiosks in the International terminal
Drop checked baggage at the counters in the International terminal
Serve as identification at the TSA checkpoint
Board a flight at any gate in Concourse F
And, go through CBP processing for international travelers arriving into the U.S.
Touch points throughout the terminal in Atlanta started coming online in mid-October – nearly all 25,000 customers who travel through ATL Concourse F each week are choosing this optional process, with less than 2 percent opting out. And, based on initial data, the facial recognition option is saving an average of two seconds for each customer at boarding, or nine minutes when boarding a wide body aircraft.
"Delta's successful launch of the first biometric terminal in the U.S. at the world's busiest airport means we are designing the airport biometric experience blueprint for the industry," said Gil West, Delta's COO. "We're removing the need for a customer checking a bag to present their passport up to four times per departure – which means we're giving customers the option of moving through the airport with one less thing to worry about, while empowering our employees with more time for meaningful interactions with customers."
West added that Delta plans to scale the end-to-end airport biometric terminal experience to the global airline's hub in Detroit in 2019.
On the heels of the successful roll out in Atlanta, Delta, in partnership with CBP and the Wayne County Airport Authority will expand the facial recognition boarding test that started in July, which was the first of its kind for the airport, to all 14 international gates at McNamara Terminal in the Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) by mid-December. With this move, any customer flying direct to an international destination from DTW will also have the option of using facial recognition technology at boarding. In 2019, Delta will roll out facial recognition technology at DTW from curb to gate for its customers.
"It is a great honor for Detroit Metropolitan Airport to become one of the nation's first biometric terminals," said Chad Newton, Wayne County Airport Authority Interim CEO. "As a world-class airport, we are continuously seeking ways to enhance the customer travel experience. We look forward to partnering with Delta, CBP and TSA to provide passengers with the option to utilize facial recognition throughout their entire travel process."
The expansion of the facial recognition option with Delta Biometrics is a natural next step following CBP and Delta's optional facial recognition boarding tests at ATL, DTW and John F. Kennedy International Airport over the past several years. In addition, Delta recently tested a self-service biometric bag drop at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport for international customers. Delta has also tested biometric boarding at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and has launched optional biometric check-in for all domestic Delta Sky Clubs, facilitated by Delta Biometrics.
Over the past several years, Delta has led the industry on a number of customer solutions like RFID baggage handling, automatic check-in and bag tracking via the Fly Delta mobile app, a cross-industry alliance that will empower customers with a seamless in-cabin connectivity experience, more efficient and high-tech automated screening lanes, and a groundbreaking app that helps Delta pilots avoid turbulence for a more comfortable flight. Delta was named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies Worldwide in 2018, earning the No. 6 spot among travel companies.
ATL F — How the curb-to-gate facial recognition technology works:
Customers flying direct to an international destination from Atlanta's International Terminal wanting to use this option simply:
Enter their passport information when prompted during online check-in.
Forgot to enter passport information in advance? Don't worry — this option will be available at the terminal after an initial passport scan and verification.
Click "Look" on the screen at the kiosk in the lobby, or approach the camera at the counter in the lobby, the TSA checkpoint or when boarding at the gate.
Breeze through once the green check mark flashes on the screen.
Travelers will need to have their passports available and should always bring their passports when they travel internationally for use at other touch points during their trip.
And, if customers do not want to participate, they just proceed normally, as they've always done, through the airport.
