High-flying Muguruza into semi-finals
Wednesday 29 January 2020 - Simon Cambers
Climbing Kilimanjaro gives Spaniard new perspective.
Garbine Muguruza has already scaled many heights in her career, from her first Grand Slam title at Roland-Garros in 2016 to her triumph at Wimbledon 12 months later.
But it seems that the achievement of climbing the almost 6,000-metre Uhuru peak of Mount Kilimanjaro in November may just have been the catalyst to get her mind in the right place to have another crack at a grand slam title.
The Spaniard's 7-5, 6-3 win over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia on Wednesday put her through to a semi-final at the Australian Open against Simona Halep, the current Wimbledon champion and like Muguruza, a former Roland-Garros winner too.
"Do you know who you play next?"
"I don't know"

For all her success, the 26-year-old has also experienced plenty of lows. She has gone out in the first round in five of her 29 Grand Slam events, including this one, and in round two nine times. Since her win at Wimbledon in 2017, she had gone past the quarters in a Slam only once before her win over Pavyluchenkova.
"It was a life-changing experience"
Climbing Africa's highest peak is something that many have accomplished but many have failed. Martina Navratilova, the former women's world No 1 failed to make the top after suffering from altitude sickness, a common occurrence unrelated to how fit a person is. For Muguruza, it was a profound experience and one she said changed her outlook.
"It definitely was a life-changing experience," she said, when asked if it had inspired her run to the semi-finals. "I cannot give a simple answer to such a complicated question because it's not the right moment to talk about it. But it definitely had an impact on me, not as a tennis player, but just in general. Being through such a tough challenge, I think, yeah, did many things inside of me."
OH SI! Nos hemos sentido VIVOS! HELL YES! We felt ALIVE! -12 celcius. TOP of Africa 5895 m 🏔 Thanks to my expedition and my guide.

Muguruza's inconsistency in grand slam events may have cost her chances to add to her tally, but she believes people do not quite realise how tough it is to peak for four events every year.
"I think the toughest moment is when you work hard, work like before, or even harder, and you don't feel like results are coming fast," she said. "So I think that's the tricky part of us. Athletes sometimes can get a little bit desperate, get too impatient about it. It's very tough to be for so many years in the top of the game, being that consistent. I feel like it's something super hard to do. Barely few players can hold that for many, many years in a row."
Muguruza may just feel like the title has her name on it, too, having almost gone out in round one when, struggling with the after-effects of a virus, she dropped the first set 6-0 to the American, Shelby Rogers, and needed her blood pressure checked by the doctor.
"It definitely has been from low to high, not starting at my best, then each day recovering, I was training at the same time," she said. "Very happy with the evolution of how I started. I wasn't thinking that far away. I came not feeling great. I wasn't really thinking, how far will I go? I had enough already thinking, how will I go practice today? I took every day at a time. Like that, each day I was gaining a better feeling instead of getting frustrated thinking in the future."
Getting back to the business end of a slam, though, has been hugely enjoyable for Muguruza, punctuated by an excellent success rate at the net, winning 79 percent of points.
"I'm just excited to see how far I can go"
Moving forward and using her height and wingspan at the net is something that Conchita Martinez, who began a second, more permanent spell as coach at the start of this year, believes is a barometer of her game.
Martinez was on hand when Muguruza won Wimbledon and took over on a permanent basis at the start of 2020. "When she's feeling comfortable with that, trusts herself with that, then that's when you can start going to the next step," Martinez said. "In our mind, it was very clear that's her type of game."
Three of the four semi-finalists - Muguruza, Halep and Ash Barty – have won Grand Slam titles and the Spaniard said knowing that you can get yourself over the line, in the biggest tournaments, is a big advantage when it comes to dealing with the pressure.
"I think once you have done it, it definitely gives you a certain confidence that you can handle two weeks' competition, Grand Slam, playing many matches," she said. "Not a lot of people can say that they have done it. In my case, I know it's where I feel the most motivated. I just don't think too much about it. I'm just happy to be here, excited to see how far I can go."

MLB Playoff Tickets,
World Series Tickets
from a leading
Aprill 3, 2005
Give or take. There might be less. You do the math.
Anyway. Here are approximately 2005 things that will almost certainly happen in 2005. Probably:
The American League Cy Young Award goes to: Johan Santana…
The Minnesota Twins will be baseball's first team to clinch…
Paul Molitor will turn down an offer to manage. Chris Chambliss will not get one…
Jose Lima will be traded to a contender by June 15…
Most baseball prognostications, including this one, will be proven to be way off base…
As usual, the World Series will be a better, truer, more spontaneous event than the Super Bowl, with actual crowd shots of real fans, but the commercials won't be nearly as good…
The American League Central will finish this way: Twins, Indians, White Sox, Tigers, Royals…
George Steinbrenner will say something, uh, ill-advised, and Joe Torre will retire…
George Steinbrenner will say something, uh, ill-advised, and fire Brian Cashman…
Derek Jeter will host "Saturday Night Live." George Steinbrenner will not…
Alex Rodriguez will play 25 games at shortstop, and the prospect of his playing it full-time, with some team, will create a national cable media frenzy…
Tino Martinez' numbers: .265, 25, 75. He'll make all the difference in the world for the New York Yankees, and rub off on A-Rod in ways that Derek Jeter didn't in 2004…
2005. The year of the Cabrera. Forget "breakthrough" as a term to apply to Florida's Miguel Cabrera. Try MVP. 15 wins for Baltimore's Daniel Cabrera. And the best single season ever by an Angels shortstop, for Orlando Cabrera…
Several prominent major leaguers will miss action, delayed by visa problems…
Larry Lucchino will become part owner of a team looking for a new stadium deal…
Lou Piniella will be a force his third year in Tampa, and the Devil Rays will surge to a record of 74-88…
AL East: Red Sox, Yankees (Wild Card), Blue Jays, Orioles, Devil Rays...
John Hart will come dangerously close to a deal for an ace in July, not make one, and then sign an old guy in time for Christmas. Probably not Chuck Finley...
A Gold Glove Award winner will lead his position in errors…
"Five-tool player" will continue to reign as the most overused phrase in baseball. "We all have to be on the same page," "you do the math," "anything can happen in a short series," "back in the day," "intestinal fortitude," and my personal favorite, "it's only May" will contend…
AL MVP: Vladimir Guerrero…
Arte Moreno will ponder a move south, where he'd rename his club the San Diego Angels of Oceanside…
Steve Finley's numbers: .285, 40, 100, and a Gold Glove…
Southpaw Jamie Moyer will be called "crafty" more times than all the crafty major and minor league right-handers combined…
Adrian Beltre's numbers: .300, 30, 100…
AL West: Angels, A's, Mariners, Rangers...
The year's most ridiculous contract for a non free agent, injured playing pickup, who will miss a ton of time, for an even greater ton of money, lefty outfielder: Lance Berkman…
Countless players, play-by-play guys, and color men will refer to a just completed game as "tonight," even though it was a day game...
The Pittsburgh Pirates will be to 2005 what the Texas Rangers were to 2004, and finish above .500…
Rick Ankiel will retire as an outfielder to concentrate on pitching…
The All-Star Game will not end in a tie…
Bud Selig will talk about "integrity" and "the best interests of baseball" repeatedly, but do nothing to exhibit either…
Pete Rose will be in our face during Hall of Fame weekend…
NL Central: Cards, Pirates, Reds, Cubs, Astros, Brewers...
Trips to the disabled list for John Smoltz and blown saves for Dan Kolb…
The Atlanta Braves finally miss the playoffs. All fifty states celebrate, including Georgia...
NL CY: Tim Hudson... Brad Lidge a solid second…
Barry Larkin will fill in at short for the Nationals, and get hurt before Christian Guzman can return from injury...
NL MVP: Miguel Cabrera…
Ismael Valdez will change his name to Ismael Valdes…
Two ex-Dodger catchers on the NL All-Star squad…
Pedestrian numbers and an All-Star break vacation for Carlos Beltran...superior numbers and an All-Star start for Pedro Martinez…
Anna Benson will get more ink than husband Kris...and score more often…
Mike Piazza to an American League contender…
NL East: Marlins, Braves, Nationals, Mets, Phils…
Rockies' GM Dan O'Dowd will drop out of the Executive of the Year discussion earlier than ever thought possible, when it's discovered that none of his so-called "revamping" can ever make a difference in Colorado…
San Francisco will finish in the bottom half of the league in all major offensive categories, except walks…
Barry Bonds numbers: .285, 20, 50, in 90 games played…
Ryan Klesko plays first base for the Atlanta Braves...
Kevin Towers will complain about something. Curt Schilling, the inability to get quality fish tacos on the road, the square footage of Petco's outfield, the Border Patrol, smog from Los Angeles, something…
Arizona improves by 30 games…
Nomar Garciaparra will play third base for Los Angeles…
Alex Cora will play second base for Los Angeles…
The Dodgers will lose three starting outfielders to injuries and suspensions an average of twice per, while Shawn Green plays 154 games…
Kevin Brown will eek out a couple more wins than Darren Dreifort…
NL West: Padres, Dodgers (Wild Card), Diamondbacks, Giants, Rockies…

On January 16, MLAs return to Stormont after a month's break, many of them fat and tanned from winter sun holidays at your expense. Are they ready to vote themselves out of existence? From the noises of the party leaders, other than the DUP, it seems so.
For Sinn Féin, Monday week is make or break time. From the language of Matt Carthy MEP on Sunday past, and Declan Kearney on Monday it seems the DUP may have overstepped the mark. Or have they? On December 18 Martin McGuinness warned the DUP and specifically Arlene Foster that if she made a statement purporting to speak as first minister there would be 'grave consequences'. She did and there weren't. He advised her to stand aside for a fixed period as her predecessor Robinson did more than once. She rebuffed him. 'Grave consequences' have now been downgraded in McGuinness's New Year message to a 'serious crisis'.
Sinn Féin's motion to the assembly on Monday week will top the agenda. They will repeat their demand for Foster to stand aside pending the outcome of an inquiry. Other party leaders have called for her to resign full stop. That doesn't matter. She can bat them aside with the customary sneer she reserves for Eastwood or Nesbitt.
Only Sinn Féin can pull the rug. The question is if Foster ignores their demand, will they? If they don't, they'll suffer ridicule which no party can afford, least of all Sinn Féin. The DUP, completely ignorant of Nationalist sensibilities, have no idea that, as Declan Kearney said in his statement on Monday, they are heading towards 'an unprecedented tipping point'.
Paul Givan's idiotic decision enraged Nationalists for a number of reasons. First, the sleekit [sly/deceitful] manner in which it was done. Secondly, the insultingly paltry sum involved compared to the six-figure sum handed out to loyalist bands. Third the fact that some loyalist bands are training grounds for paramilitary recruits and also that they have been in the forefront of flouting Parades Commission determinations.
All of which convinced nationalists that it is a provocation intended to tweak Sinn Féin's nose, daring them to do something. It's just the sort of irresponsible act a political twit like Givan carries out reckless of the consequences.
The serious crisis Sinn Féin figures like McGuinness, Kearney and Carthy refer to is that if the DUP do not respond with some compromise before Monday week, the only action Sinn Féin can take without a major loss of face is to collapse the executive.That will mean an election in which Foster may lose a couple of seats to the UUP but still return as the largest party.
However, according to the calculations of Nicholas Whyte, the north's foremost psephologist, the DUP and Sinn Féin will lose five seats apiece in an election to the smaller 90 seat assembly. Would Foster's MLAs thank her for her obstinacy in that event? Would Sinn Féin get the blame for precipitating an election? Do they want to make five of their MLAs redundant?
No doubt there will be frantic tic-tacking behind the scenes between Sinn Féin and the DUP in the course of the next ten days to avoid such an outcome. In the end, of course, it's down to Foster, and there's the rub.
Her leadership of the DUP has been intensely personalized, so for her to stand aside would be to admit failure. On the other hand, it's going to be impossible to avoid some form of inquiry which incredibly Sinn Féin are content not to be public. That inquiry will inevitably find Foster has feet of clay. Will Monday week find Sinn Féin is a paper tiger?

Collaboration between AILA Central Florida and AILA Georgia-Alabama brings you Federal Court Summaries Part 1.
by Shorstein, Lasnetski & Gihon
Over the last few months I had the opportunity to work with some fantastic immigration attorneys across the Southeast United States on a collaborative project. Our goal was to find, review and summarize every immigration-related and useful District Court and Circuit Court Case from the Eleventh Circuit and put them together in a newsletter. This was an enjoyable and educational experience. We expect to send out this newsletter every quarter and it will contain published and unpublished District Court cases from Florida, Alabama and Georgia and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
This would not be possible without the hard work of our multi-state team composed of Marshall Cohen, Roberta Cooper, Bruce Buchanan and myself, John Gihon. Here is an excerpt of the 11th Circuit Cases. If anyone reading this newsletter has any suggestions, please contact me at John@slgattorneys.com or our editor, Bruce Buchanan at bbuchanan@visalaw.com
11th Circuit Decisions (June through August)
Qiu v. Attorney General, 14-13838 (11th Cir. June 2015) (non-precedential) This case involved the review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' (BIA) denial of a Chinese national for withholding of removal and Convention Against Torture (CAT). Respondent claimed she will be forcibly sterilized if removed to China because she violated China's family planning policy by having two children in the United States. The Court granted the Petition for withholding of removal, vacated the order and remanded to the BIA to determine whether the Immigration Judge's (IJ) factual findings were clearly erroneous. Furthermore, the Court found the BIA erred when it made a factual finding that Respondent had not established the second prong of the asylum test, being persecuted on account of race, sex, religion, nationality or particular social group, because the IJ did not make any finding of fact as to the second prong. Instead, the IJ assumed Respondent had satisfied the first two prongs and evaluated only what sanctions she was likely to face and whether they rose to the level of persecution. The Court found that the IJ and BIA cannot substitute reliance on State Department reports for analysis of the unique facts of an applicant's case, specifically that Respondent's local family planning office had already determined that she must undergo sterilization.
Balam-Ruiz v. Attorney General, 14-15101 (11th Cir. June 2015) (non-precedential) The Court denied Respondent's Petition for Review seeking to reverse the BIA's and the IJ's denial of withholding of removal. Respondent's claim was based on his alleged past persecution in Guatemala by the Mara Salvatrucha gang because, as a catechist in his local Roman Catholic Church, he had refused to join the Maras; thus, he was a member of a particular social group (PSG). The Court held Respondent is not a member of a PSG because PSG's members must be persecuted for a shared fundamental or immutable characteristic. Here, the Maras did not persecute religious teachers who oppose gang membership and deter others from joining such gangs any differently than the persecute others who oppose them. Therefore, Respondent had not distinguished his PSG from people who oppose criminal organizations generally, and the 11th Circuit and BIA have concluded that people who oppose criminal organizations generally do not constitute a PSG. See Castillo-Arias v. U.S. Attorney General, 446 F.3d 1190, 1198 (11th Cir. 2006); Matter of S-E-G-, 24 I&N Dec. 579, 581, 590 (BIA 2008). The defining attribute of Respondent's proposed PSG was persecution, and the defining attribute of a PSG cannot be persecution. Castillo-Arias, 446 F.3d at 1198.
Gutierrez Castillo v. U.S. Attorney General, 14-14342 (11th Cir. July 2015) (non- precedential) The Court denied Respondent's Petition seeking review of a BIA's affirmation of IJ's removal order because of an aggravated felony. Respondent, a military veteran, had a pending naturalization application, and he argued his case should have been continued or terminated pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §1440 (relating naturalization for certain veterans). IJ denied the continuance and found him removable, saying that all three of his convictions, manufacture of cannabis, burglary, and attempted second degree murder, were aggravated felonies. The BIA said that attempted second-degree murder was definitely an aggravated felony and so declined to decide whether the other charges were aggravated felonies. The BIA also decided that the IJ properly denied Respondent's request for a continuance because USCIS had not provided an affirmative communication regarding his prima facie eligibility to naturalize and had indicated that Respondent was ineligible for naturalization. See Matter of Acosta Hidalgo, 24 I&N Dec. 103 (BIA 2007).
The Court stated the BIA found that attempted murder was an aggravated felony and Respondent did not contend that the BIA committed any error in reaching this conclusion; thus, Respondent abandoned any challenge to the substantive basis for his removal. Furthermore, the Court found the BIA's interpretation of a regulation in Matter of Acosta Hidalgo, was reasonable and entitled to deference from the 11th Circuit. In Acosta Hidalgo, the BIA determined that an IJ may terminate proceedings based on an alien's pending naturalization application only if the DHS has issued an affirmative communication indication that the alien is prima facie eligible for naturalization. The interpretation is reasonable because DHS has sole authority over naturalization decisions, not plainly erroneous or inconsistent with the regulation. The regulation was ambiguous because it left out who was to make the prima facie eligibility determination, and BIA was entitled to clarify.
Isufi v. U.S. Attorney General, 14-15753 (11th Cir. July 2015) (non-precedential) Respondent, an Albanian who resettled in Greece with his family in 1991, sought review of the BIA's denial of his asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT claims. The Court denied the petition. The Court determined there was substantial evidence supporting the IJ's conclusion that Respondent's fear of future harm came from a family dispute and he resettled in Greece for economic reasons, not to flee persecution. Respondent argued Albanians were subject to persecution in Greece; however, he was not seeking asylum from Greece, and Respondent could relocate within Albania and avoid the actual or feared harm upon which he claimed asylum.
Ene v. U.S. Attorney General, 14-15305 (11th Cir. Aug. 2015) (unpublished) The Court upheld the BIA's denial based on adverse credibility finding, consideration of fraud allegations, and application of REAL ID Act to applications for asylum, withholding, and relief under the CAT. Adverse credibility may be based on inconsistencies, inaccuracies or falsehoods regardless of whether they go the heart of the applicant's claim. Here, the Petitioner had committed fraud in obtaining visa and had attempted to alter a Social Security card. The Court also ruled that the REAL ID Act applies to all applications for asylum or withholding filed after May 11, 2005.
Lawal v. U.S. Attorney General, 14-13234 (11th Cir. Aug. 2015) (unpublished) The Court affirmed the BIA's application of Matter of Rivas, 26 I&N Dec. 130 (BIA 2013) to Petitioner's case even though it was decided after Petitioner's case had already commenced. The BIA did not retroactively apply a new rule of law to Petitioner's case. Rivas was based on amendments to §212(h) that took effect in the 1990s before Petitioner was convicted of the relevant crimes, left and returned to the U.S., or filed waiver application. Rivas did not change the law; rather, it clarified what the law under §212(h) had been during the timeframe relevant to Petitioner's case.
Zelaya v. Secretary, Florida Dept of Corrections, Warden, Okeechobee Correctional Institution, 12-16462, 13-10256 (11th Cir. Aug. 2015) (Published): The Court upheld the District Court's dismissal of his pro se habeas petition. Petitioner filed a habeas petition to challenge his federal conviction for illegal reentry after deportation under INA § 276(a), (b)(2). Despite the fact that the IJ granted Petitioner's motion to reopen, thus rescinding the 1996 deportation order, the proper procedural vehicle was a motion to vacate the sentence under 28 U.S.C. §2255, rather than a habeas petition under 28 U.S.C. §2241.
Marcelu v. U.S. Attorney General, 14-15229 (11th Cir. Aug. 2015) (unpublished) The Court upheld the BIA affirming the IJ's denial of Petitioner's application for asylum based on an adverse credibility finding. The basis for that finding was found to be supported by substantial evidence. Discrepancies between statements made in his asylum application and his testimony before the IJ included: Petitioner testified to living at a different address as the one stated in his asylum application; Petitioner testified that he was in hiding from 2005 to 2011 but stated in his asylum application that he worked as a bus driver during that time; a corroborating account failed to mention his sister's murder, a key part of his claim; and Petitioner stated in his asylum application that he was a member of an anti-government group but did not testify to that fact at his hearing. Petitioner did not contend that the other evidence in the record, absent his discredited testimony, compelled a conclusion that he was or would likely be persecuted upon his return.
Gonzalez v. U.S. Attorney General, 14-14158 (11th Cir. Aug. 2015) (unpublished) The Court dismissed Respondent's Petition for Review. After Respondent was convicted of possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, ICE commenced removal proceedings. Respondent sought and was granted a continuance to pursue a collateral attack on his conviction. However, once the courts determined Padilla could not be retroactively applied, the IJ denied further continuances and ordered him removed due to his conviction. Respondent appealed, arguing ineffective assistance of counsel. The BIA found he did not comply with the procedural requirements of Lozada. On appeal to the 11th Circuit, Respondent asserts he did comply. However, the evidence showed otherwise. Since that was a factual finding by the BIA, the Court lacked jurisdiction to consider it; therefore it was dismissed.

It's been a while since my last post (in part because of this bread, which I had to make 3 times to get just right and in part because…I just ate melted chocolate from a ramekin for dessert for most of a month, when I wasn't accidentally melting plastic spatulas into cakes??) but this bread is worth the wait! No knead, richly chocolate, good textured chocolate bread that is maybe not as sweet as you're expecting (depending on the chocolate you use anyway) and makes the most amazing fluffernutters you've ever had. It would probably also be great with some sort of soft, spreadable cheese, if that's your thing, but I'm moving soon and have to get through the remaining inch of my container of Fluff!
Fluffernutter about to get taken skiing.
It's rare on this blog, but for this one I recommend breaking out the kitchen scale. I have provided conversions in cups for those of you without a scale, but the ounces for flour, cocoa powder, and brown sugar are going to be more accurate. The conversions were made using the Traditional Oven page's converter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, cocoa, brown sugar, and salt, then pour in the water and stir until evenly mixed.
In the morning, place a cast iron dutch oven in your oven and preheat to 350 degrees, preheating at least 40 minutes, even if your oven beeps before that, so that the dutch oven gets sufficiently hot. Towards the end of that time, chop your chocolate and stir it into the dough, and place a piece of parchment paper on your counter.
For some reason I cut the chocolate smaller each time I baked this bread – that's not necessary! These chunks are fine.
When the oven/dutch oven are preheated, with floured hands shape the dough into a ball, then place on the parchment. You can slash the top of the dough a few times if you'd like, although I'm not sure it made a huge difference here.
Remove the dutch oven from the oven and uncover. Transfer the parchment paper with the dough on it into the dutch oven, recover, and return to the oven for 25 minutes.
At that time, uncover and bake an additional approximately 10 minutes. If the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, it's done baking. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, cocoa, brown sugar, and salt, then pour in the water and stir until evenly mixed. Cover and let rest 12-18 hours.
In the morning, place a cast iron dutch oven in your oven and preheat to 350 degrees, preheating at least 40 minutes. Towards the end of that time, chop your chocolate and stir it into the dough, and place a piece of parchment paper on your counter.
When the oven/dutch oven are preheated, with floured hands shape the dough into a ball, then place on the parchment. Remove the dutch oven from the oven and uncover. Transfer the parchment paper with the dough on it into the dutch oven, recover, and return to the oven for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional approximately 10 minutes. If the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, it's done baking. Cool on a wire rack.

Entries are now open, here.
The 2014 Spring Rogaine, incorporating the 2014 NSW Championships will be set in the Newnes State Forest north of Lithgow, about 2 hours West of Sydney.
At the junction of the Blue Mountains and Tablelands, this beautiful rogaining country gently undulates between forest and creeks, and provides stunning views on surrounding rock pagoda formations. The vegetation is mostly open and fast, and the terrain should provide navigation challenges for all level participants, in both the 8 and 24 hours events.
Results, reports and photos here.
This popular event was an opportunity for novice competitors to gain experience in rogaining or night navigation while providing a challenge for the more experienced rogainers.
The event also encompasses the 24hr Intervarsity (University) Championships, and a non-championship 6 hour Rogaine.
Grafton Street-O invites us all to a 2 hour event in Bom Bom State Forest. You can find more information here.
Can you help us at a coming Rogaine?
We need the following volunteers to ensure we can stage remaining 2014 and also our 2015 events. Please contact Ian Dempsey if you can lend a hand.
In particular, we need an Event Coordinator for the 6 Hour Socialgaine, November 16.

Clear Need for a Black or White Approach to Deicing
One of the most problematic issues that I continued to observe during this past winter season throughout my travels was the ongoing discrepancy between a pilot request for de/anti-icing and the Clean Aircraft Concept.
The Clean Aircraft Concept is well defined within all global regulatory material, air carrier and deicing service provider programs and global standards such as SAE Aerospace Standard 6285. All of these documents clearly state that if winter contamination is adhering to any surface of the aircraft, with the exception of permissible contamination such as frost amounts on the fuselage and underwing of less than 3 mm, then the contamination SHALL be removed. There is absolutely nothing grey about this requirement.
Yet somehow, most air carriers and deicing service providers still allow the pilot in command of the aircraft to request the type of de/anti-icing process that he or she wants. In the case of the aircraft in the photo above, the flight crew requested the common "wings and tail only, Type I and Type IV" even though the fuselage, cockpit windows and other surfaces of the aircraft were clearly covered with large amounts of snow and ice. This photo was taken as the aircraft was taxiing to the runway from the pad, as demonstrated by the Type IV fluid on the wing.
Before I create a storm of controversy, the deicing service provider was diligent in this case and did advise the flight crew of the contamination on the aircraft more than once and suggested it be removed, but the captain declined the request, despite the clear need to remove it in the carrier's program and the Aircraft Maintenance Manual. I suppose the flight crew believed it would simply blow off. But what if there was ice under the snow? How would the flight crew know? And despite the diligence demonstrated by the service provider in bringing the contamination to the attention of the flight crew, the service provider cannot be fully absolved either, as their deicing program also required that this contamination be removed.
This was not an isolated case either. In fact, I was brought in to resolve numerous similar he-said-she-said situations during the past winter related to pilot request for deicing versus Clean Aircraft Concept, and I believe this to be an ongoing pressing issue right across the industry.
An airline colleague shared the following photo with me recently of damage caused by a chunk of ice that became dislodged in flight and damaged the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer. The flight crew declined to have the contamination removed from the fuselage and cowlings as part of the deicing process.
Damage on the Horizontal Stabilizer caused by Dislodged Ice in Flight
In my opinion, the issues identified herein need to be addressed in a black or white fashion to eliminate all grey. Much like cockpit resource management was implemented to ensure the safety of flight operations, a strong collaborative approach to deicing decision making needs to prevail and service providers and flight crews need to challenge each other and strictly enforce their respective programs, which require adhering contamination to be removed. If you can't confirm that contamination is not adhering, then remove it. Period.
SureConsult will be working diligently with all of its clientele moving forward to ensure that these issues are clearly identified in all programs, training and quality assurance and that the previous grey areas and behaviours that enabled these situations to occur are adapted in favour of a more collaborative and decisive approach for all.
SureConsult Launches New Website
SureConsult is really excited to announce the launch of its new and improved website. And since you're already on the site and reading this post, this is old news isn't it?


The Environment Agency and Natural England were granted new civil powers on 3 February, which will give them greater flexibility in enforcing environmental law. The new sanctions offer the regulators an alternative to criminal prosecutions. In the majority of cases, non-compliance with the law is unintentional and, therefore, sanctions are deemed more proportionate. Read page 10 of this week's issue (17th February)to learn how the new powers will affect shooters and landowners.

Making bridges not building walls
The UK, the USA and the EU are turning back desperate, unfortunate peoples and transforming their countries into fortresses to keep them out. Yet another boat has capsized in the Mediterranean Sea, the latest of many disasters involving migrants heading to Europe.
Mexico is dealing with a migration phenomenon on four fronts. On one hand, 12 million Mexicans live in the United States. And on the other, every year hundreds of thousands of migrants make their way through the country, mainly Central Americans and in recent years also people from the Caribbean, Venezuelans and even Africans.
The United States sends back to Mexico hundreds of thousands of people who cross its southern border without the required documents. Mexico is home to more than one million migrants and refugees who have chosen to make their home in that country.
Major recipients of refugees and asylum seekers in other regions are Turkey, in the eastern Mediterranean, hosting 3.7 million (92 percent Syrians), and, with 1.4 million displaced persons each, Pakistan (which has received a massive influx of people from Afghanistan) and Uganda (refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo and other neighbouring countries).
In Sudan, there are one million refugees, Bangladesh, Iran and Lebanon host 900,000 each, while in the industrialised North the cases of Germany, which received 1.2 million refugees from the Middle East, and the United States, which has 300,000 refugees and one million asylum seekers in its territory, stand out.
In the last six years, 5,650,000 Venezuelans have fled to Venezuela's neighbouring nations.
In this region "there is a living laboratory, where insertion and absorption efforts are working. The new arrivals are turning what was seen as a burden into a contribution to the host communities and nations," Eduardo Stein, head of the largest assistance programme for displaced Venezuelans, explained, setting an example in welcoming and integrating displaced populations, with shared benefits for the new arrivals and the nations that receive them. "This is the largest migration crisis in the history of Latin America," Stein said.
Colombia stands out for receiving daily flows of hundreds and even thousands of Venezuelans, who already number almost 1.8 million in the country, and for providing them with Temporary Protection Status that grants them documentation and access to jobs, services and other rights. Iván Briscoe, regional head of the Brussels-based conflict observatory International Crisis Group, commented in the case of Colombia, "it has been impressive to receive almost two million Venezuelans, in a country of 50 million inhabitants, 40 percent of whom live in poverty."
Colombia's Fundación Renacer, which has assisted thousands of child and adolescent survivors of commercial sexual exploitation and other types of sexual and gender-based violence, is a model for how to welcome and help displaced persons. Renacer, staffed by activists such as Mayerlin Vergara, 2020 winner of the UNHCR's annual Nansen Refugee Award for outstanding aid workers who help refugees, displaced and stateless people, rescues girls and young women from places like brothels and bars where they are forced into sexual or labour exploitation, often by trafficking networks that capture the most vulnerable migrants.
"In Colombian society as a whole there has been a process of understanding, after the phenomenon was the other way around for several decades in the 20th century, of people displaced by the violence and crisis in Colombia being welcomed in Venezuela," Camilo González, president of the Colombian Institute for Development and Peace Studies, told IPS. When the great migratory wave began in 2014-2015, "many Venezuelans were taken on as half-price cheap labour by businesses, such as coffee harvesters and others in the big cities, but that situation has improved, even despite the slowdown of the pandemic," said González.
Eduardo Stein, the head of the Interagency Coordination Platform for Venezuelan Refugees and Migrants (R4V), created by the UNHCR and IOM in partnership with 159 other diverse entities working throughout the region noted that in the first phase, the receiving countries appreciated the arrival of "highly prepared Venezuelans, very well trained professionals."
"One example would be the thousands of Venezuelan engineers who arrived in Argentina and were integrated into productive activities in a matter of weeks," he said.
But, Stein pointed out, "the following wave of Venezuelans leaving their country was not made up of professionals; the profile changed to people with huge unsatisfied basic needs, without a great deal of training but with basic skills, and nevertheless the borders remained open, and they received very generous responses." Stein mentioned the positive example set by Colombia's flower exporters, which employed many Venezuelan women in cutting and packaging, a task that did not require extensive training.
"Not everything has been rosy," Stein admitted, "as there are still very complex problems, such as the risks that, between expressions of xenophobia and the danger of trafficking, the most vulnerable migrant girls and young women face."
There have been expressions of xenophobia, as various media outlets interpreted statements by Bogotá Mayor Claudia López, who after a crime committed by a Venezuelan, suggested the deportation of "undesirable" nationals from that country. There were also demonstrations against the influx of Venezuelans in Ecuador and Panama, as well as Peru, where the policy of President-elect Pedro Castillo towards the one million Venezuelan immigrants is still unclear, as well as deportations from Chile and Trinidad and Tobago, and new obstacles to their arrival in the neighbouring Dutch islands.
However, throughout the region "there are places that have seen that immigrants represent an attraction for investment and labour and productive opportunities for the host communities themselves." Stein pointed out.
Another promising example is provided by Brazil, with its Operação Acolhida (Operation Welcome), which includes a programme to disperse throughout its vast territory Venezuelans who came in through the northern border and first settled, precariously, in cities in the state of Amazonas.
More than 260,000 Venezuelans have arrived in Brazil – among them some 5,000 indigenous Waraos, from the Orinoco delta, and a similar number of Pemon Indians, close to the border – and some 50,000 have been recognised as refugees by the Brazilian government. Brazil has the seventh largest Venezuelan community, after Colombia, Peru, the United States, Chile, Ecuador and Spain. It is followed by Argentina, Panama, the Dominican Republic and Mexico.
Throughout the region, organisations have mushroomed, not only to provide relief but also to actively seek the insertion of Venezuelans, in some cases headed by Venezuelans themselves, as in the case of the Fundacolven foundation in Bogota.
According to Filippo Grandi, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, they have benefited from the fact that the countries of the region "are an example, and the rest of the world can learn a lot about the inclusion and integration of refugees in Latin America and the Caribbean."

Federal Crackdown on Bath Salts & Other Synthetic Drugs
On May 7, 2014, the DEA served hundreds of arrest warrants in 25 states, as it seeks to crackdown on synthetic drug retailers, manufacturers, and wholesalers. In all, more than 150 arrests were made and about 200 search warrants were served in smoke shops, residences, and warehouses.
Authorities seized hundreds of thousands of individual packets of synthetic drugs and hundreds of kilograms of synthetic products used to make the drugs. The confiscated evidence totaled approximately $20 million in cash and assets.
What are Synthetic Drugs?
Synthetic drugs – which include bath salts, spice, and Molly (MDMA) – have gained popularity and some would argue notoriety in the last few years as use of the drugs have skyrocketed.
Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) is the most common ingredient found in bath salts; however, other stimulants may also be present, such as mephedrone and methylone. These three chemicals have all been placed on the Schedule I controlled substances list. Schedule I controlled substances cannot be sold under any circumstances and cannot be prescribed for medical purposes.
Bath salts are known for producing a high similar to methamphetamine. Users typically snort the drug; however, it can also be smoked, injected, orally ingested or used rectally. Bath salts can have effects with very small doses, from 3 to 5 milligrams. If taken orally, absorption is very quick with peak absorption occurring at 1.5 hours. The high can last as long as 3 to 4 hours. However, there is a "crash" associated with using bath salts, which can make the entire experience last as long as eight hours.
If you were arrested for possession or sale of a synthetic drug, then please don't hesitate to call my firm for a free consultation!

F1's commercial head Ecclestone warned the sport's financial crisis could reduce the grid to 14 cars in 2015.
Formula One's cash-strapped smaller teams could boycott Sunday's US Grand Prix unless their complaints about division of revenues are heard, Force India deputy principal Bob Fernley said Saturday. "Nothing is off the table at this point," he said.
Force India, Sauber and Lotus have all had financial troubles and their bosses have urged bigger teams to create a more level playing field by ensuring all have the means to compete. The talk, which is becoming increasingly militant, comes after the indebted Caterham and Marussia teams collapsed into administration.
That has left just nine teams in Austin with the risk of more falling by the wayside and revived debate about how a sport that makes more than $1.5 billion in annual revenues cannot ensure 11 teams have enough to stay afloat. With an engine supply costing $30 million, smaller teams argue that there should be a minimum guaranteed budget provided to all.


Perched majestically on top of a rocky peak, the Medieval village of Eze, famous for its spectacular views and fragrant Fragonard perfumes is a must-see for anyone visiting the French Riviera. Within the village of Eze overlooking the medieval centre with some of the most panoramic, jaw-droppingly beautiful views we have ever seen is where you will find our Eze Etoile apartment.

Although driving in the centre of Nice and Monaco can be a challenge, once you get onto the coastal road that takes you to Eze it is easy, simple and provides some spectacular views. We still strongly advise GPS or a very good map. There is a private parking space that comes with the apartment. There is also the possibility to park directly outside the building, depending on availability. We will send you a GPS reference and full address with your arrival details.
