Trigger points are tight spots in the muscle that are unable to relax on their own. This tightness exerts pressure on surrounding tissue including other muscles, tendons, ligaments and the fascia. It is this pressure that can cause a loss of function and range in nearby joints.
A trigger point injection (TPI) is an injection that is given directly into the trigger point for pain management. The injection may be an anesthetic such as lidocaine or bupivicaine, a mixture of anesthetics, or a corticosteroid (cortisone medication) alone or mixed with lidocaine. Sometimes, a needle alone is inserted into the trigger point, and no medication is injected. This may be helpful and is referred to as "dry needling." With the injection, the trigger point is made inactive and the pain is relieved.
Trigger point injections are used when a patient has a painful trigger point, especially when pain radiates from the trigger point to the surrounding area. Trigger point injections may be used as a treatment for conditions such as fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome.
How is the trigger point injection procedure performed?
The trigger point injection is performed in our office. The trigger point is located by manual palpation. Ultrasound guidance is not generally necessary. The injection site is then cleaned. Alcohol or another skin cleanser such as betadine is commonly used to clean the injection site. A numbing agent may be used to anesthetize the skin and make the actual injection less painful. The needle is then inserted into the trigger point and the medication is injected. After the injection, a simple adhesive bandage may be applied.
A potential complication from the trigger point injection procedure is post-injection pain. This is relatively uncommon, but it can occur. This pain usually resolves by itself after a few days. It is more common when no medication is injected into the trigger point (dry needling). Cryotherapy is recommended for relief of this minor pain.
If a steroid medication is injected into the trigger point, shrinkage of the fat under the skin can occur, leaving a dent in the skin. This does not occur when only anesthetic is injected without any steroid medication. Other side effects are rare with trigger point injections but can occur anytime a needle punctures the skin, including infection and bleeding.
Trigger points often resolve after one injection. This may happen when a patient has one isolated trigger point, especially if the cause of the trigger point has been removed (such as a trigger point caused by a repetitive minor trauma or movement that will no longer be performed). Trigger points caused by chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome tend to recur due the underlying problem. In these cases, trigger point injections may be administered on a regular or as needed basis. The frequency of trigger point injections depends on the medication being injected. If only lidocaine or a mixture of anesthetics is injected, then the injections can be administered as ongoing therapy as frequently as monthly. If a steroid medication is injected, TPIs should be administered much less frequently because of the risk of tissue damage or shrinkage caused by the steroid.

PennDOT to start lane restrictions on Route 22 in Derry Twp.
Fri., April 21, 2017 3:36 p.m. | Friday, April 21, 2017 3:36 p.m.
Long-term lane restrictions will be in place beginning Monday on Route 22 at the border of Westmoreland and Indiana counties as work begins to rehabilitate a bridge.
According to PennDOT, traffic will be limited to one lane both eastbound and westbound, between Jonnet Road in Derry Township and Dixon Street in Blairsville while Mosites Construction starts work on the $4.65 million project.
Slated for completion by September, the project involves repairing the deck and substructure of the Route 22 bridge over the Conemaugh River, a Norfolk Southern Railroad line and Route 217. Drainage work and repainting the bridge are included.
Traffic patterns on the stretch of highway will change as construction progresses. PennDOT officials advised motorists to allow extra time for morning and evening commutes, with congestion and delays possible during periods of heavy traffic volume.
Weather permitting, PennDOT plans to conduct the following maintenance tasks in Westmoreland County next week beginning Monday: Bridge flushing on Route 22, bridge sweeping and cleaning on Route 130 from Trafford to Greensburg, milling on Leger Road in North Huntingdon, crack sealing on Route 1018, nighttime sweeping on Route 30 in Hempfield and North Huntingdon.

Bonds are one of the easiest and most common ways to save money for the long term. There's a good chance you already own one. If you have a certificate of deposit at your bank or your credit union, you own a kind of a bond. CD's are quite a bit different than other kinds of bonds, but they have many things in common.
Rather than going over different kinds of bonds, I'd like to explain why they are a good investment for those of us saving for future needs. In a previous article, I described two ways of looking at our investments. Bonds are very useful for the part of our savings that we intend to preserve.
I mentioned back in my introduction to TIPS that bonds are actually a type of loan. CD's are loans that you make to the bank. If you ever wondered how to turn the tables on a bank and get them to pay you interest, that's how. If you have had a CD before, you know that it has an end date. That's how bonds work. They "mature." When they do, you get your money back.
Because bonds have a due date, they are great for eliminating timing risk. Bonds come with a promise to return your money on a specific day. If you intend to go on a big vacation in two years, you can get a two year CD at the bank and earn higher interest than you would in a regular savings or checking account. When the CD matures, you get your money back and all the interest right when you need it.
You can imagine what might happen if you put that money in a mutual fund for two years. If you happen to have planned your vacation during the next stock market crash, you probably would have to change your plans. It might be ok to miss your vacation, but putting off your retirement because you took that risk would probably be a bigger deal.
Taking out a two year CD might not be that bad. At the time I write this, CD rates are still quite a bit lower than the rate of inflation. When that is true, you end up paying the bank to hold and protect your money. That's not always a bad idea. Putting all that money in your house might be worse, but it sure would be nice to be able to keep up with inflation don't you think?
You might consider I Bonds for a two year holding time or more. You can't take your money out for the first year, so if you need the money sooner than that, it wouldn't be a good idea. If you need the money in less than five years, it would still be a pretty good idea to put your money in an I Bond because it protects your purchasing power at the cost of losing three months of interest. It's still better than most bank CDs at the time that I write this. After five years of waiting, you can take the money out any time. If you have more than 30 years to wait, you will have to sell your bond in thirty years and get a new one. You can find out more about I Bonds in another article.
The advantage of using an I Bond over a CD is that you are more certain to keep up with inflation. There are CD's that allow you to "step up" your interest rate if the interest rates go up at some point. The problem with that is that interest rates and inflation are not really linked. The will of the government is in between. Governments occasionally force interest rates lower as a way to "fix" the economy. As a result, CD's have proven to not be a very precise way to protect your money's purchasing power.
You may have seen an article or heard someone at your bank talk about putting some money in a CD ladder. This arrangement helps you take advantage of changes in interest rates over time. It's another way to attempt to deal with inflation issues as well.
The idea is that you split up your money, and buy CD's or bonds with different maturity dates. For instance you might buy one for six months, another for one year and another for two years. The idea being that every six months you would have a CD coming due. When it does, it allows you choose whether you need to use some of the money or put it back into another CD. It also allows you to take advantage of changes in the interest rates as they go up.
When you are trying to save your money for later, bond ladders have much different purpose. When you are using inflation protected bonds like I Bonds or TIPS you don't really have to worry about the interest rates. Remember that taking advantage of rising interest rates is the kind of thing we do with the part of our money set aside for opportunity investing. When we are dealing with the preservation side, what we concern ourselves with is timing. We just need to ask ourselves: When do I need this money? In this case, we would use a ladder to put the right amount of money in the right place in the future to meet our needs.
Here's an example. Suppose you need your money in 15 years. It may require that you take out a ten year TIPS, and after 10 years you need to remember to buy another 5 year TIPS when it matures. You can think of your needs like buckets of money. Let's say that you have one bucket for each year during your retirement. You need a ladder of bonds that reach to each bucket in order to fill them with the right amount of money so that you meet all of your needs.
Bond mutual funds don't have a maturity date. Shorter duration funds may be safer than stock funds, but they are definitely more risky than just owning the bonds. That's because the fund share prices change every day based on market forces, not inflation. I plan to explain that more in an article about mutual funds.
Bonds are a great way to plan because they are based on time commitments. Not everything in life can be planned, but for things that need to be, it really makes sense to use investments that have commitments built into them so that you can be sure to have money when you need it.

Whose Architect?
Perhaps the overriding myth is that of the architect as a hero. Serving the same powers that it strives to critique, architecture is condemned to a perpetual conflict of interest. Together, architects, clients, politicians, and consultants make up an embroiled world in which it is forever unclear who calls the shots.- Reinier de Graaf
When it becomes job search time for an architect, in order to get an overview of firms and potential internships, the search starts where most searches these days start, Google. That search may lead to some other websites that specialize in job or internship postings, but something interesting continues to happen when using the keyword 'architect'. Intermixed with a few listings that meet the generally expected criteria are companies like IBM, Google, and others specializing within the technology sector. Facebook lists 'Optical Systems Architect' and 'Solutions Architect' on their careers page, Google has an opening for a 'Cloud Architect', and Apple is searching for an 'Imaging and Vision Architect' along with 600 listed jobs that appear with the keyword 'architect'. Although the amount of tech jobs, the search for that elusive job goes on, unknowingly witnessing a phenomenon that seems to raise profound questions about architecture and the architect in today's world and in the future.
Whose systems are dependent on who? Does space in the city have value if it does not have Wi-Fi or other means to activate social media services, regardless of built architecture? Which architects really influence and shape our environments?

Transformation of Image System In our Culture
It has been a while since we have posted primarily due to the crushing demands of thesis as well as the infamous job search. Below is a blurb I wrote for thesis that may or may not be incorporated in the final package but was an interesting rabbit hole to dive into. The image system is a way of qualifying the way images have been marketed toward us is complex and has continuously evolved. This evolution was exponentially increased by the internet and consumer platforms such as Amazon.
Role of the Image System
We live in a consumer based culture that uses the image system as its main tool of marketing. As described by Sut Jhally the image system is the tool that marketing uses to reflect our desires and dreams. The image system was not always the dominant mediator and creator of culture. In agrarian based societies other institutions such as family, community, ethnicity, and religion presided over the guiding hand influencing society. The transition from agriculture to industrial created a void within the institutions that previously guided society aspirations. A void that was quickly filled by the marketing of products and information. Information about products seeped into public discourse. More specifically, public discourse soon' became dominated by the "discourse through and about objects."
The process of educating society on the image system was a gradual process that took place over two decades. The crucial turning point for the creation of our image saturated society took place in the 1920's. In that decade the advertising industry was faced with a curious problem-the need to sell increasing quantities of "nonessential" goods in a competitive marketplace using the potentialities offered by printing and color photography. Whereas the initial period of national advertising (from approximately the 1880s to the 1920s) had focused largely in a celebratory manner on the products themselves and had used text for "reason why" advertising (even if making the most outrageous claims), the 1920s saw the progressive integration of people (via visual representation) into the messages. Interestingly, in this stage we do not see representations of "real" people in advertisements, but rather we see representations of people who "stand for" reigning social values such as family structure, status differentiation, and hierarchical authority. From the 1920s to the 1940s there was a gradual education of the consumer taking place as advertisements educated the consumer on the role of the image and how it should be interpreted. During this time period the advertisements transitioned from a combination of images explained by text to advertisements where the written became less explaining the visual and more of a cryptic form appearing as a visual puzzle or slogan.
In contemporary society the images system has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe. The messages promoting the object orientated culture have infiltrated all spaces of our existence. The public realm, social media, magazines, and the internet are all for sale to promote the image. One cannot simply exist in today's society without being endlessly bombarded with advertisements. Advertisement role in guiding society has also gained complexity with the introduction of the internet and the almost instant stream of data flow. Fundamentally advertisement is a discourse through and about objects that tells us how things are connected to our lives and how we can become happy. In our culture the image system provides a particular vision for the world, created by marketing, a particular mode of self-validation that is connected to one's possessions rather than to what one is.
Image System of Thumbnails
The image in contemporary society is perpetuated by the internet, social media sites and, consumer-based companies. This is the new form of advertisements and just like the images transition into advertising in the 1920's one has been slowly trained to understand how to interpret it. It is not a stretch when comparing advertising budgets that physical marketing has become dwarfed by the virtual image that is projects through the screens of our devices. To keep up with the speed of our society it is vital to process the most amount of information possible. This leads to the degradation of the images that we consume as they become smaller, more precise and load at the speed of our scrolling thumbs. Our current generation has grown up with this new form of consumerism that can process one's desires at the speed of light. Suggesting images that one may be interested based off the objects they have selected while taking place in a mindless derive of scrolling. The image system of thumbnails is the new market place existing in a virtual world allowing for one to scroll endlessly through images that are "recommended for you" to satisfy our dreams and desires yet in our actual reality we only have the pleasure of the images to sustain us in our actual experience with objects.

Past Residence: First Houses (Case Study 1)
The dedication of the United States' first government social housing project took place on a chilly winter day in December 1935. It was a monumental occasion for the city of New York as well as the entire nation. New Yorkers packed the streets around the electrical radio hookup to hear the first lady, Mrs. Roosevelt, read her husband's remarks about the housing project followed by her own praises to all the people that made the project a possibility. Among other speakers were Governor Lehman, Mayor LaGuardia and Housing and Parks Commissioner Robert Moses.1 The "First Houses" was the first New York Housing Authority project and an experimental exploration into social housing policy and architectural design.
The innovative architectural planning method called for the demolition of every third tenement house on the block along E 3rd Street and Avenue A. This allowed for air and light to reach into the inner spaces of the block. The addition of a park space in the center of the block added greenery and public spaces for the residents and their children. This was in response to the tightly packed tenement houses that plagued the lower east side of New York. In addition, a nursery on the ground floor offered subsidized child care and employing local residences.
"First Houses" would then repair the remaining groupings of tenement houses with windows on all four sides as well as in-unit bathrooms, which was an unheard-of luxury for lower income families in New York city. The poor conditions of the tenement house caused the remaining groupings of buildings to be deemed unsafe. This caused the buildings along 3rd Street to be torn down and rebuilt into five new buildings. Frederick L. Ackerman, the lead architect, proposed the reuse of brick and other building material to offset the cost of the new construction.2 This decision was a product of the time as building materials were scarce during the Great Depression; never the less, the cradle to cradle practice allowed the project to continue and become a success. The reuse of materials did not offset the whole cost of the project as it was completed behind schedule and over budget. The cost of the project caused the NYCHA to put tighter restrictions on future social housing projects and underwent other governmental oversights. The successes of "First Houses" far overshadow any faults as the project has been continually sighted as one of the best practices for social housing, community building, and slum regeneration. 3
"First Houses" received over four thousand applicants for the 122 apartments. The chosen families were selected based off need, location within the city, and family size. Of the 122 chosen applicants, all lived and worked in the East Side and six of the families were previous residents of the site.
Open Space & Building Separation
During the 1930's tenement houses composed the majority of or lower Manhattan blocks. Tenement houses were single family homes divided into tightly packed apartments. Most of the apartments did not have access to adequate plumbing, electrical lighting, and windows. The lack of building and code oversite made tenement houses extremely dangerous and prone to fires. Despite this fact in the early 1900's two-thirds of New York City's population lived in these poor tenement conditions.4 "First Houses" response of removing every third tenement allowed for daylight and air circulation into the center of the block. This allowed for windows to be placed on all four sides of the building thus changing the way units were laid out when compared to the tenement style of living. The dimension of the buildings along 3rd Street closely matched the earlier tenement buildings. However, the deconstruction of the block and the more spacious unit layout reduced the density of the block. It is impossible to determine how many families were displaced by the "First Houses" because of the lack of documentation and regulation of the previous tenement houses. The balance between living standards, unit density, and displacement was almost perfectly achieved at "First House," which is something that cannot be said for future housing developments.
Ground Floor Retail
One of the most overlooked aspects of the slum renovation projects was access. The public housing projects created had serious issues with accessibility to stores and other commercial programs. Out of the eighty-two projects developed and managed by the New York Housing Authority only nine of them had stores or commercial spaces built in.5 As poor as the tenement house conditions were they normally had ground floor retail or other social programming. Federal legislation banned stores in new developments, and destruction of existing tenement houses meant the loss of the ground floor retail.6 Being the first public housing project created by the NYCHA, rules that applied to later development had not been created allowing more flexibility and experimentation of programming, facilities, and architectural design. This meant "First Houses" were not a typical housing development. It was small scale in comparison to many of the other projects taken on later by the NYCHA. These larger developments formed areas of concentrated poverty and limited access to amenities, which created social housing deserts. "First Houses" did not destroy the urban fabric of the East End. Instead it conformed to the grid and provided ample access to amenities such as corner stores, health clinics, nurseries, and political meeting spaces.

Jimmy Choo - Next Stop!
This was shot during a Studio Session with our Model, Dinah Wolf. We experimented with High Key Lighting. The idea is to use a white backdrop, light it up with strobes from behind the Model to wash out the scene and then light the Model from the front using strobes from left and right. You can reverse Engineer the front lighting from the reflections in the shoe. This is a great tip for Photographers for Studio work. It is often very easy to tell how the lighting was set up by looking at reflections, especially with Portraits. Look for "Catch Lights" in the eyes of the Model. Often you will see one, or several. If the Catch Light is circular, they used a Beauty Light which is quite popular.
Now a bit about Catch Lights!
Catch Light is a photographic term used to describe either the Specular highlights in a subject's eye from a light source, or the light source itself. They are also referred to as eye lights or Obies, the latter a reference to Merle Oberon, who was frequently lit using this technique. A catch light may be an artifact of the lighting method, or have been purposely engineered to add a glint or "spark" to a subject's eye. This technique is useful in both still and motion picture photography. Adding a catch light can help draw attention to the subject's eyes, which may otherwise get lost among other elements in the scene.
We experimented with Catch Lights during this shoot, not with eyes but with the shoes – fun!
Thanks for visiting our humble Photoblog! If you have any questions, just leave a comment and we always answer!
This is another shot from our Studio in California – not a complicated lighting set up at all. We used one Alien Bee strobe (you can see the rectangular reflection), the Martini Glass was lit with some LED Lights from Stage Ape. The multi-color reflections came from a Wallace Ting piece we own. Glass empty – time to go Home.
Closing Time is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Tom Waits, released in March 1973 and was produced and arranged by former Lovin Spoonful member Jerry Yester. Closing Time was the first of seven of Waits's major releases through Asylum, the final being Heartattack and Vine (one of our favourites!). The songs on Closing Time are often noted for their lyrical content, which like the music, vary in form. "Ol' 55" narrates the story of a man riding "lickety split" in a car and is often seen as a song about escapism.
Closing Time features an eclectic mix of musical styles. While tracks such as "Ol '55", with its "gentle slipnote piano chords", and "Old Shoes", "a country-rock waltz that picked up the feel of 'Ol' 55′", are usually considered folk-like numbers, other songs such as "Virginia Avenue", "Midnight Lullaby", whose intro features an instrumental segment of the nursery rhyme "Hush Little baby", and "Grapefruit Moon" reveal a quieter, more jazz-like temperament. "Ice Cream Man" is often noted as being the most "up-tempo" song of the album, whereas "Lonely" is toned-down and slow-paced. The sophisticated piano melodies are often accompanied by trumpets, typical of the jazz sound that Waits originally designated for the album. Noticeable string arrangements are also featured on the album, on "Martha" and the final "Closing Time", the latter being purely instrumental.
OK, so this is not Astronomical History in the making but rather a Science Fiction Scene created in our Studio. The concept was executed with some selective studio lighting, a picture of Jupiter, a glass pane suspended above the picture and selective placement of Dishwashing Soap. We used a Nikon D90 with a Nikkor 105mm f2.8 Macro lens mounted on a steady tripod and waited until the bubbles had burst and the soap began to flow – consuming this wonderful gaseous giant! Somewhat abstract, kinda cool! Now a bit about this planet before it gets eaten by the Blob!
Jupiter is perpetually covered with clouds composed of ammonia crystals and possibly ammonium hydrosulfide. The clouds are located in the tropopause and are arranged into bands of different latitudes, known as tropical regions. These are sub-divided into lighter-hued zones and darker belts. The interactions of these conflicting circulation patterns cause storms and turbulence. Wind speeds of 100 m/s (360 km/h) are common in zonal jets…perfect for extreme Sailboarding!
The orange and brown coloration in the clouds of Jupiter are caused by upwelling compounds that change color when they are exposed to ultraviolet light from the Sun. The exact makeup remains uncertain, but the substances are believed to be phosphorus, sulfur or possibly hydrocarbons.
The best known feature of Jupiter is the Great Red Spot, a persistent anticyclonic storm that is larger than Earth, located 22° south of the equator. It is known to have been in existence since at least 1831, and possibly since 1665. Mathematical Models suggest that the storm is stable and may be a permanent feature of the planet. The storm is large enough to be visible through Earth-based telescopes! Check it out before it The Blob has it for Dinner!

Let's explain more about what I mean.
The Balkans are the part of Southeastern Europe that is anti-imperialist.
They're against the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
They're against the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish rulers that had oppressed them.
They've thrown off imperial rule but now they're full of quarrels with each other.

Creative language of beauty products
by Janet Carr
The beauty product and cosmetics industry is big and very lucrative. They are not allowed to claim that a product will make you younger. To do so would require that the product be classed as medication. The regulations and requirements to do that are extremely strict.
So beauty brands use language to create illusions.
Your skin will appear smoother and feel softer. The appearance of small lines may be reduced. You skin will look younger and seem more radiant.
Another thing they do is patent 'miracle' ingredients, usually very fancifully named. L'Oreal's Boswelox springs to mind. I know they thought my mind would spring to Botox but my mind actually sprang to Bollocks (meaning rubbish). Boswelox is described as 'a breakthrough phyto-complex that combines a power dose of boswellia serrata extract and manganese, which help reduce the appearance of lines caused by facial micro-contractions.'
It is not surprising then that most of the complaints lodged at consumer agencies are usually regarding beauty products.
Do I think anti-ageing products work? In a word, no. What does work is keeping out of the sun, using sunscreen, not smoking or drinking heavily and not yo-yo dieting or crash dieting. And of course, genetics play a huge part. Keeping skin clean and moisturized (remember your hands and neck!) will definitely make you feel better and look smoother – but cleansing and moisturising will not make your skin younger.

text: strange interlude ANONYMITY ANNONS Robert A Heinlein Fanfare seems like a very good fan magazine indeed. I especially enjoyed DOTS, which I take it you wrote. I don't seem to find a name on it. I believe I enjoy the reportorial articles, such as this one, more than most of the stuff printed in fan mags. (Blush blush--ed.) Probably a lot of the fiction in fan mags is good, too, but I don't read much of it. I don't have the time to read a third of the professional stuff! I also enjoy articles of literary criticism and comment. Doc Lowndos has a good one in the issue at hand. The book seems to be free of the snide and semi-libelous articles which, to my mind, are the curse of fandom. I get particularly annoyed at anonmynous articles of such calibre. Why are anonymous articles tolerated at all? If they are harmless, the author should not mind signing his name; if they are not harmless, they should not be published at all. I class anonymous articles with anonymous letters and anonymous telephone cells- the media of cowards and scoundrels. ANNOUNCEMENT Frank McCourt I am trying to start a New York stf club on the Upper West Side. I'll be glad to answer inquiries and give the dope on aims etc, to New Yorkers who can call in person at 516 W 140th, after 8 PM, preferably Tuesday nights. The telephone is EDgecombe 4 - 5927. Feudists welcome. ENGLISH ENCOMIUM Ken Bulmor Cover--excellent. 4sj Ackerman's lithe process, oh? It adds a touch of finesse to the mag, much in the way that a silver bow invites on a chocolate box. DOTS - good. Very interesting. Strangely enlightening to we here who may have ideas about the inpreganbility of editors. I was particularly tickled by the captivating description of the "Great Man's" slipper cum centrifugal force experiment. The last sentence of that description of the evening's enjoyment carries the truth of the ages. STF RECOLLECTIONS -- good. Evidently written by an okd hand. LINES FROM THE LAST GRAVE - I can't seem to get a clear impression of its impact on me. If you must have a rating, would certaintly suggest upwards of ho hum. Certain passages strike very deep cords. SLANDER--excellent. Er - I feel a wee bit guilty about having used it in FANTASY POST. SLANDER carried a punch, and the seeds of a true prophecy. AS IF IT MATTERED is rather incoherent. Doc has some good points in the earlier portion, but goes off onto another subject, and then ends up with a project, which, although sounding fine at first, resolves itself into a dispensation of "to be read" or "not to be read" by the committee. No two fans are alike in taste: and, although many fans may have the same preferences on the upper class stories, the smaller, often well remembered shorts would thus be

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT THE UNITED STATES IMMIGRATION LAWS
What is Immigration law?
Immigration law is how the federal government controls who is able to come to the United States from other countries. The laws are passed by congress and enforced by the executive branch through agencies like US Citizenship & Immigration Services, Immigration & Customs Enforcement, and Customs & Border Protection.
The United States has a long and valued tradition of immigration. Our nation was founded by immigrants, and has welcomed waves of immigrants through the centuries. People born in other countries have always contributed to the development and economy of the United States. Some notable American immigrants include Alexander Graham Bell, Albert Einstein, Madeline Albright, Henry Kissinger, and Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google.
What is a U.S. Citizen?
A U.S. citizen is a person with privileges and responsibilities to the United States. A person can be a citizen in three ways. First, a person can be born in the United States. Second, a person can be born outside of the country to a U.S. citizen parent. Third, a person can be born outside of the country and later go through the "naturalization process" (or, if under the age of 18, have a parent who naturalizes as a citizen).
What is naturalization?
Naturalization is the legal process by which a legal permanent resident adult becomes a citizen. Most legal permanent residents need to wait 3 or 5 years, pass a test on their knowledge of civics, demonstrate knowledge of English in an interview, and show good moral character.
What is a legal permanent resident?
Legal permanent residents (LPR) are people with permission to live and work in the United States indefinitely, as long as they do not commit certain crimes. Most people become legal permanent residents through close family members or employers for special jobs. The wait to become a LPR can be very long and the rules for special jobs are very complicated.
Are there other ways to visit or work in the United States?
A visa is a temporary permission to be in the United States. There are many different types of visas: some allow just a short visit; some allow people to study, live, or work for years at a time. Visas can be difficult to get, particularly for employment.
Asylum is a way for someone who is present in the United States to stay here because it is dangerous to return to his or her country. The person must apply within one year of entering the country, and the danger of returning must be because of the person's race, nationality, religion, political opinion, or social group.
What does "undocumented" mean?
Undocumented refers to a person who does not have legal permission to enter, stay, or work in the United States. About half of undocumented people came to this country on a visa, and stayed beyond its terms; the other half were never able to get permission to enter the United States.
Undocumented people are not eligible to receive public benefits from the Federal government. People without permission to stay in the country are at risk of being arrested and removed to their country of birth by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
What is the status of undocumented minors?
Anyone living in Minnesota is able to attend school and college.
In addition, there is a special federal program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals that allows some people who came to this country when they were children to have protection from removal and to get a two-year work permit. To qualify, the person must have entered the United States when they were under the age of 16, entered before and continuously resided since June 15, 2007, and must have been born after June 15, 1981. The person must be currently enrolled in high school or a GED program, or have graduated. The person must not have any felony convictions, significant misdemeanor convictions, or more than three misdemeanor convictions, and must not pose a risk to public safety. In Minnesota, these students may also be eligible for state financial aid and scholarships to attend college.
What resources are available for an immigrant if they are a victim of a violent crime?
Undocumented persons who are present in the United States and have been victims of a violent crime, physical abuse, or sex trafficking may be eligible for an adjustment of legal status. Various forms of relief are available by filing UVisa, TVisa, or VAWA applications. Some of these options require that victims assist law enforcement in the prosecution of the crime. It is important to speak with an attorney to assess both the potential benefits and risks of filing such applications.
Immigration laws are intricate and continually changing. It is very important that you contact an attorney to review the particular details of your case and to determine what protections may be available in your specific circumstances. Set up an appointment with an attorney through our online Self-Referral program by clicking here, or request assistance from an MNLRIS referral counselor here. You may also visit LawHelpMN to read articles drafted by some of our partnering agencies: LawHelpMN: Immigration.

Congratulations to Bishop Design shortlisted for Residential £2.5-5 Million (Property by Value) Award in The International Design & Architecture Awards 2017
design et al are delighted to announce that Bishop Design have been shortlisted for Residential £2.5-5 Million (Property by Value) Award within The International Design and Architecture Awards 2017.
The client, Al Sharq Investment, wanted to create a luxuriously opulent Signature Apartment set within a very unique development on the exclusive Palm Jumeirah. Situated within an impressive landscaped resort, it boasts spectacular ceaseless views of the skyline, sunset and Arabian Gulf. The design brief was clear; showcase a lifestyle that potential buyers would crave. The 4-bedroom Show Apartment was to appeal to a mass audience, creating a warm and friendly space suitable for families or the successful professional couple or a single fun lifestyle. Depending on size and location, these apartments range anywhere from £3.1 Million to £14.5 Million therefore making an impact throughout the apartment was imperative. The client had approximately £1.1 Million to spend and Bishop Design had to spend the money wisely. The designers were to keep the magnificent view untouched but ultimately, showcase the epitome of luxury. One of the challenges was how to invest the budget, Bishop Design opted for spending more on key pieces and selecting finishes that would enrich the layout, allowing the clients to understand what they are purchasing when choosing to buy one of these exclusive apartments.
The main living spaces should remain interactive whilst also appealing to those wishing to entertain for smaller numbers. Creating a practical layout, Bishop Design had to ensure that these spaces were furnished using high end materials and furniture whilst creating a backdrop that enticed their clientele, offering the ultimate dream apartment on one of the most sought-after developments in Dubai. The impressive ceaseless views of the skyline, sunset and Arabian Gulf from this Apartment is the ultimate dream for anyone wanting to live and play in Dubai. Bishop Design drew fundamental inspiration from the panoramic view and used soft hues and blue tones to allow the space to almost reflect and represent the water. Mixing these elements with a practical layout that showcased luxury was key.

Q: Angular allow inheritance service declaration in constructor I've a component HomeComponent and I have two services : AnimalService and DogService
DogService extends AnimalService like that :
@Injectable({providedIn: 'root'})
export class AnimalService {
    constructor() {}
    move(): any {
        console.log('move animal');
    }
}

@Injectable({providedIn: 'root'})
export class DogService extends AnimalService {
    constructor() {
        super();
    }
    scream(): any {
        console.log('il crie');
    }
}

And then I want to use it by calling scream function inside my component :
    @Component({
        selector: 'jhi-home',
        templateUrl: './home.component.html',
        styleUrls: ['home.scss']
    })
    export class HomeComponent implements OnInit {

        constructor(private dogService: DogService) {}

        ngOnInit() {
            this.dogService.scream(); // the error here : scream is not a function
        }
    }

But I have the following error :
this.dogService.scream is not a function

Maybe there is a subtility with angular, becaus of Injectable or something like that, I know that the constructor of DogService is not called, si my webbrowser undertands that it's an AnimalService. it's not the case if I do a dogService = New DogService instead of declaring it inside the constructor. But I don't understand why.
Any ideas ?

A: The problem is the annotation in your SuperClass. Don't annotate AnimalService. It must be an abstract simple class.
export abstract class AnimalService {
    constructor() {}
    move(): any {
        console.log('move animal');
    }
}

@Injectable({providedIn: 'root'})
export class DogService extends AnimalService {
    constructor() {
        super();
    }
    scream(): any {
        console.log('il crie');
    }
}

This isn't the Day 6 update (that follows later). But I need to organize some of my thoughts as I'll be on the road for several days working long hours on games I can't talk about. This means I need to be efficient in both my gaming and writing this Fri -> Tues.
I'll also need to plan ahead for the following week as I'll be on the road for a week long trip back east. Luckily that trip will be a little more slow-paced, so I should have plenty of time to game and write.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like my Gamefly requests will arrive by the end of day today, so I won't have them available for this trip. I've queued up: Chrono Trigger and GTA: Chinatown Wars for the DS. I still have a few DS games I've borrowed for the trip, so I should be fine.
Puzzle Bloom. An indie Flash game that I know nothing about, but caught wind of via either the blogosphere or twittersphere.
Gamestop's new casual games portal. I've talked about Steam and the Amazon.com casual games portal in the past.
Kodu Game Lab. I'll probably post a bit about this later. I think I might dedicate my September gaming and blogging to exploring this deeper (more about this in my Day 6 update).
Various DS games that I'll bring with me on the plane.
This should be enough to get me through the next few busy days.

The pharmamar stocks have a value of 73.28 Euros with a downward trend. It is 57.95 points above the value of Solaria's stocks. This value is highly affected by the pandemic conditions that the world is experiencing since it is a pharmaceutical company.
Repsol stocks have a value of 11.28 with an upward trend. However, this value is 4.05 points below the value of the solaria stocks in real-time. Being energy companies, they are affected by fluctuations in global energy behavior.

Confession Booth: Original Sin #1
By James Johnston | May 9th, 2014
Posted in Annotations | % Comments
We kick off our real coverage of Marvel's summer event, "Original Sin" this week with an issue full of intrigue, murder, and disappointing promotional items. Spoilers ahead!
Written by Jason Aaron
Illustrated by Mike Deodato
WHO SHOT THE WATCHER?
The Watcher, the mysterious space-god who's been watching us from the moon for as long as we can remember… is dead. Thus begins the greatest murder mystery in Marvel Comics history.
As Nick Fury leads the heroes of the Marvel Universe in an investigation, other forces are marshaling as well and other questions are arising. Why is Black Panther gathering a secret team of his own, including Emma Frost, the Punisher and Dr. Strange? Who is the Unseen? What was the Original Sin? What was stolen from the Watcher's lair? And most importantly, who now holds the Marvel Universe's darkest secrets in the palm of their hand?
Now before we start off talking about the comic itself, I have one major beef with Marvel at the moment. Or more accurately, EYE have a major issue beef. As part of the promotion for the event, Marvel has been supplying stores with Uatu's eyeballs, gouged out from his skull just like they are in the comic, as demonstrated in this photo by the latest murderer on Hannibal, Tom Brevoort.
This promotion is, in a word, pretty fucked up. Still, Uatu's eye would hardly be the only body part I have hidden in my house so I agreed to take one from the man behind the comic counter. As I held the eyeball in my hand I was immediately disgusted which, honestly, should be anyone's reaction to being handed a gouged out eye. It's a little slippery and made of rubber. LIke the type of balls you'd throw at the kid in your elementary school who smelled like trash so he'd leave you alone during lunch. Or play jacks with. I was immediately dumbfounded. I had assumed that the eyeballs were going to be plastic and hollow on the inside. Thanks to Marvel, my weekend beer pong plans have been ruined. If Marvel really cared about its readers they wouldn't give away items that I have to awkwardly explain to my roommate, but items that I would have to awkwardly explain to my roommate before we both said "whatevs" and used it to get hammered.
Now that we've finished screaming at our balls, let's discuss the issue at hand: "Original Sin" #1. The comic starts off with The Watcher standing on the moon and being narrated at. He watches the events of the Marvel Universe, he's seen everything, blah blah blah. If you didn't read the #0 issue than here it is in a couple pages. And, I must say, a couple of really great pages. Mike Deodato can be really hit or miss sometimes ("SHIELD"? Amazing! His work on "New Avengers"? Alright.), but The Watcher's lair in "Original Sin" is something to behold. There's machinery everywhere that, set against the canyons and cliffs of the moons, makes The Watcher seem inhuman with a lowercase "i". This isn't just The Comedian or Sue Dibny getting killed, Aaron and Deodato are working on a much grander scale.
The Watcher won't be working on a grand scale anytime soon though, as someone blows up him and his house on page 5.
From there we cut to a steakhouse (why yes, Jason Aaron did write this comic) where Black Widow, Wolverine, Captain America, and Nick Fury Sr. are all enjoying "Meat Night" which somehow isn't a cult thing. Also, Nick Fury has apparently been just kind of hanging around eating steaks with people. That's where he's been. Huh. Anyway, they all talk about the best steak they've ever had, the best two stories coming from Nick Fury who monologues about a cow he and his squad butchered in 1944 and Natasha, in an effort to remind everyone how Russian she is, talks about how she straight up hunts bears in the wild and eats them. I haven't been keeping up with the new solo "Black Widow" title but if that's the synopsis for the series to date then sign me up. Unfortunately, Meat Night is cut short when Cap gets a call that The Watcher's been murdered. As Cap, Nat, and Logan prepare to leave, Steve turns to Fury and offers for him to tag along. He claims that this is the type of seedy operation that Nick would be perfect for but really it's probably Steve's guilt at potentially leaving an old man alone in a dinner in the middle of a date.
Continued below
Fury agrees to come and they all take Lola from Agents of SHIELD into space because synergy. On the moon, Thor explains how he got hit in the face with blood while flying through space, which is the second most hardcore thing to happen in this issue. Evidently, the blood belonged to Uatu who's moved from the interior of his lair to outside so he can give us this dramatic pose.
Uatu The Watcher 1963-2014 – Rest in Pieces
Also, I'd like to note that it looks like Uatu's body was initially drawn much less gorily and then someone slapped some blood onto and around his face. Like I can't tell where some of that blood is meant to land, or if it's even finished landing. Also of note, everyone's spacesuits lack helmets. I'm sure there's a good nerd reason these suits work but why even have them if they don't have helmets for oxygen? Are there even action figures coming out? It's mind-boggling, but not as mind-boggling as Captain America's insistence that The Avengers can't conduct the investigation because they're not murder police. Because clearly dealing with New Universe characters is a much higher priority than the death of a guy who was practically a god.
Fury agrees to lead the investigation, contacting a bunch of B through C-listers and telling them to go look for leads to Uatu's death. Black Panther and Emma Frost team up to be exasperated by Scott Lang while Winter Soldier and Gamora presumably do the same with Moon Knight. The real highlight of these three teams is Punisher and Dr. Strange who both share this twisted sense of punishment (Strange sends a guy The Punisher's been torturing for an hour and a half to a dimension ruled by beetles) and they really deserve their own team-up series after this.
For the moment, none of them get as far as Spider-Man and The Thing who team up to fight a rampaging Mindless One in New York City. Like a fatal Garfield, The Mindless One is projecting its thoughts to everyone near it, revealing that it was used by someone(s) to help kill The Watcher and that the secrets from his gouged-out eyes have given The Mindless One self-awareness and they're unable to cope with the secret knowledge they've been bestowed, just as I can't deal with the fact that I have to go out and buy my own beer pong balls. I dealt better with the situation than The Mindless One apparently has, in one of the most hardcore sequences in recent event memory, it pulls out the Ultimate Nullifier it stole from the moon and shoots itself in the head with, I remind you, The Ultimate Nullifier. This results in a mini mushroom cloud in the middle of downtown Manhattan that…doesn't kill everyone? Even Spider-Man and The Thing who were right there? Huh. Good for them. Not that they get any congratulations from Fury who just shows up, claims the crime scene as his own, and declares that it's time to get to work.
Elsewhere, the rest of The Mindless Ones are being held in a cage, all of them screaming at the revelations from Uatu's eyes. Two mysterious figures covered in shadows observe the cage and ramble about how the things they stole are changing them… evolving them. Opening their eyes even. Finally, one of them pulls out Uatu's bloody eye. "But it's not our eyes I'm most interested in opening."
Guys. I think these people killed The Watcher.
Overall, this was definitely one of the better first issues to an event series from Marvel lately. With a strong murder mystery vibe and a cast of fan-favorites under the pen of Aaron and the illustrations of Deodato, this looks like it could be a really interesting series that combines intrigue and intense action into a beautiful mix.
Final Verdict: 8.3 – Buy! Or at least browse if you've got Event Fatigue.
Round Up: Who Killed The Watcher?
In each Confession Booth, we're going to go over the list of suspects we have in regards to who murdered Uatu. If you agree with one of our guesses, disagree, or think you've caught onto something we've missed then let us know in the comments!
Those Two People Holding Uatu's Eyes: They probably had something to do with this.
Odds: 1:1
Vanilla Nick Fury: We talked about this last time but he's a master spy who would love to get his hands on the world's secrets. And considering how he's been out of the spotlight for a while, there may be a lot of suspicion as to where he's been. Also, he made a lot of very dramatic poses this issue. Foreshadowing or just happenstance thanks to Mike Deodato characters' inability to find good lighting?
Black Widow: Natasha was discussing her love of hunting bear in the diner scene this week. Could she be going after the biggest (figurative) bear of all?
Odds: 10:1
Tomazooma: THE DEATH THAT WALKS
Odds: 100:1

"Clash of the Titans II" Update
Sam Worthington spoke with press on July 9 at the offices of Radical Studios, an LA-based company that has teamed with Worthington's Full Clip Productions for a number of series, about his upcoming film work, including the sequel to Clash of the Titans that he says will begin shooting early next year.
"[It} will be 3D this time," said Worthington, making it clear that he himself wasn't happy with the post-conversion process of the first film, "Shot in 3D. Do put that in and make them f–king aware… When I read Clash 2, they came to me the other day. I said, 'I kinda dig where it's going, but can we make the character more of this? Can we make it more of that? Can I get to play a lot more and get involved and have a lot more f–king fun than just being a young man who has to stand there and look pretty?' I'm sick of doing that, so it's kind of a case of, 'How do we make Perseus a lot more fun?' So we're sort of shaping it down that track. And Warner Bros. has been nice enough to give us a bit on input."
Worthington also touched upon the changes that Clash of the Titans went through between the script and the screen.
"The movies always change. It suddenly became a rolling, runaway train in some parts. In regards to the conversion, I'm a Jim Cameron boy, so people know my opinions."
