EXCLUSIVE: Mares Facility Tour
Miscellaneous Blogs
Nick and Caroline Robertson-Brown
Nick and Caroline Robertson-Brown from Frogfish Photography visit the Mares team in Rapallo, Italy to see how their scuba equipment is designed, tested, produced and marketed.
We set off to Italy with a real buzz, as we had been invited to visit the Mares team in Rapallo, Italy, to see how the equipment is made and even to try out some of their prototype equipment whilst diving with some of the Mares staff in the Portofino Marine Park. Mares headquarters is based just a short drive to the sea, and it was in these very waters that scuba diving was born. Mares actually have 2 facilities in the region, with one large factory producing fins and masks from moulds. Here a mixture of high-tech robotics is mixed with a traditional hand finish to create the more complex of the fins and masks in their range. In the cool air of the huge hanger-like factory floor, a calm efficiency prevails. Outside, the sun is beating down, and a hair-raising drive along the autostrada sees us very quickly arrive back at the headquarters.
The main building is a large white building surrounded by mature bamboo. It contains a whole range of Mares departments, including engineering, computer programming, design, quality control, manufacturing, sales teams, advertising and probably much more. As you climb up the stairs in the entrance hall, you are treated to a historical montage of Mares adverts throughout the years, as well as some original old school equipment, including the iconic Mares Air King twin hose regulator.
Our tour guide for the day was Sergio Angelini, the Chief Technology Officer. We met him in his office, where new equipment at various levels of development could be seen scattered all over his desk. For divers that love their equipment and innovations – it was truly an Aladdin's cave! With various comments along the lines of "you didn't see that" or "don't look!" our first stop was into the underground workshops to see some of the long term testing units hidden away from the rest of the departments. I suspect that this is mainly to do with the noise of machinery that, for example, is designed to purge a regulator every couple of seconds until a single regulator had been purged over one million cycles! It would drive you mad to work in this room for any length of time, but it was very reassuring to see to what extent the testing was done. There were also machines for testing the lift capacity of BCDs, the propulsion co-efficiency of fins and to test regulator function at extreme temperatures. At time of writing, there are only two regulators in the whole world that passed the ultimate cold water test (the USA Navy test); Mares make one of them!
On our arrival at Sergio's gear room, he put together 2 sets of equipment for us to use while we were diving in the area over the next few days. The majority of the equipment lent to us was prototype equipment in the final stages of testing before it goes out into the market. So we actually cannot tell you about it as we were sworn to secrecy! But we did get to try out new computers, regulators, fins and some other new additions too. Sergio assured us that if we tried to slip any of it into our bags home, he promised that he "would hunt us down like dogs". We were still tempted – as we did love the new equipment we got to dive with, but in the end we returned nearly all of it!
The rest of the tour took us around a series of departments all working to create a top catalogue of scuba diving equipment. As we walked into another room, hundreds of computers, compasses and gauges were all lined up ready for final assembly and testing. Mares have another large facility in Bulgaria, which also make fins, masks, BCDs and some of the regulators, but it is in these rooms in Italy where all the high end technical equipment is finally assembled and tested before going out for sale all over the world.
The technology team even have the use of a 3D printer, so that prototypes can be made before expensive moulds and metal parts are even thought about. These prototypes are usually taken diving by Sergio himself, along with other members of his team, to test the new ideas and products. Sergio said "it is all very well looking at the results of all our testing protocols and data, but until I actually go diving with a piece of equipment, I cannot feel how it will perform and be able to say I like diving with it." So each new piece of diving equipment actually goes diving with the development team before being released for us divers to get hold of. This is where we are heading to next, into the Ligurian Sea, diving with a local Mares partner dive centre, Abyss Diving Centre. This is a really professional outfit, run by Giorgio Canepa.
Following the coastline on a 15 minute boat ride from the harbour at Rapallo lies the Portofino National Park. This stretch of coastline offers some very good diving indeed, and we dived along coral covered walls, a huge cargo ship wreck and the underwater statue of the Christ of the Abyss in our short visit here. The marine life, due to the long standing and strictly enforced marine park, is abundant, from the tiniest of nudibranchs to numerous bodies of schooling fish.
We did, somewhat reluctantly, hand back all of the equipment that Sergio had let us use for our diving adventures, but we will be trying to get our hands on some of it in the near future! We will also be trying to get back to visit the Mares team and the wonderful diving the region has to offer sometime soon too.

Divers Ready
It's finally here! Time to start building the greatest dive locker the world has ever seen! Part I: Demolition! #dreamdivelocker
This is the first of a series of videos showing the evolution of building out my dream dive locker. My dream dive locker needs to be dive gear drying and storage, dry storage, workshop, office, editing suite, You Tube studio and classroom. That's a lot of functions for a small space!
The first step is planning out the space and demolishing the laminate flooring. Then I taped up the walls to get a feel for the space. We have a lot of work to do!
But finally we will have a purpose built space to house all of our dive equipment! Subscribe to our channel to follow our progress!
Thanks for watching, Team!

Director-General opens 3rd World Humanities Forum
In a video message to the opening ceremony of the 3rd World Humanities Forum, held on 30 October 2014 in Daejeon, Republic of Korea, the Director-General referred to human imagination as "our ultimate renewable energy". A humane world in which the values of UNESCO can be realized depends on a humanistic imagination that can articulate and refine them in the face of transformative and rapidly changing forces.
The World Humanities Forum (WHF) was launched jointly by UNESCO and the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea in 2011 to provide a space for humanities-oriented dialogue and discussion about what it means to be human, and the meaning of life in a time of global transformation. The WHF's aim is also to strengthen research capacities and the role of the humanities in addressing global challenges.
The 3rd WHF, co-hosted by the Ministry of Education and National Research Foundation of the Republic of Korea, UNESCO and Daejeon Metropolitan City, took place at the Daejeon Convention Center from 30 October to 1 November 2014. It focused on "Humanities in the Era of Transformative Science and Technology", thereby touching on such important themes for UNESCO as ethics of science and technology, the relation of science and technology with intercultural dialogue, and the socially transformative potential of science and technology. The question what it means to be human in the face of expanding scientific knowledge and transformative technological forces was central to the discussions at the 3rd WHF.
In the opening ceremony, the Director-General spoke alongside Mr Shin-ho Kim, Deputy Minister of Education, Mr Sun-taik Kwon, Mayor of Daejeon Metropolitan City, Mr Min Keun Chung, President of the National Research Foundation, Ms In-sik Kim, Chair of Daejeon Metropolitan City Council, and Mr Yersu Kim, Chair of the Organizing Committee of the 3rd WHF.
On 1 November 2014, UNESCO convened a plenary round table on institutional challenges for the humanities, with representatives from the Korean National Research Foundation, the US National Endowment for the Humanities, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, the Italian National Research Council and the Academy of Korean Studies.

Official launch of Scottish Street Pastors
On 23 January 2010 2 January 2021 By DonaldIn Ideas, Outreach, Street Pastors
Inverness Street Pastors joined with those from Aberdeen and other areas of Scotland for the official launch of Ascension Trust (Scotland), the body that oversees Scottish Street Pastors, at the Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh, on 22nd January 2010.
The various Street Pastors initiatives throughout Scotland now come under the auspices of the newly inaugurated Scottish end of the Ascension Trust, an umbrella organisation for a number of Christian initiatives, including Street Pastors.
The event was hosted by Murdo Fraser, MSP, and the keynote address was by Fergus Ewing, MSP, Minister for Community Safety who noted that Street Pastors is the fastest growing initiative in community safety at present in Britain.
Then the Rt. Hon. George Grubb, Lord Lieutenant and Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh spoke about the proven advantages of the conjoint work between the local authority, the police and the church. Other speakers included Albert Donald, the temporary Assistant Chief Constable of Grampian Police, and the Rev. Alex Millar, Mission and Discipleship Council, Church of Scotland, representing the Moderator of the Church of Scotland.
Les Isaac, Founder of Street Pastors and CEO of The Ascension Trust, spoke, followed by Julaine Hedman, Chair of the Board of Trustees of The Ascension Trust. Les Isaac then presented the Licence to Sandy Scrimgeour, the new Chair of The Ascension Trust (Scotland) who concluded the speeches.
The same night there were a further 19 new Street Pastors inaugurated in Aberdeen and 35 in Glasgow, with other groups throughout Scotland at various stages of development.
After a conducted tour of the Scottish Parliament building, the Inverness contingent returned to Inverness where the Street Pastor initiative began on 27 April 2007, when Les Isaac had visited and explained the rationale to a group of interested Christians. Training took place through the following months and on 16 Nov 2007 the first Street Pastors patrol took place in the streets of Inverness.
Street Pastors brings practical Christianity to the needy on the streets of Britain.

B.C. health officials provided a COVID-19 data update today.
COVID-related hospitalizations hit record number
B.C. reported its highest ever number of COVID-related hospitalizations today at 534.
This number only includes people considered to have active cases. Of those in hospital, 102 are in intensive care; in all, there are 36,049 active cases across the province.
Health officials also reported 2,554 new cases of COVID-19 today. Since the pandemic began, B.C. has recorded 291,246 cases.
Of the new cases, 485 are in the Vancouver Coastal Health region (including Richmond), 885 in the Fraser Health region, 412 in the Island Health region, 462 in the Interior Health region, 304 in the Northern Health region and six new cases of people who reside outside of Canada.
Richmond cases dipped slightly last week (Jan. 2 to 8) to 514, down from 563 the previous week (Dec. 26 to Jan. 1).
To date, 9,897,611 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Pfizer Pediatric COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in B.C.; 4,150,713 of those are second doses and 1,352,152 are third doses.
This means that 92.6 per cent of adults, 92.3 per cent of people aged 12 and older and 88.9 per cent of people aged five and older have received their first dose of a vaccine. In addition, 90.0 per cent of adults, 89.5 per cent of those aged 12 and older and 83.3 per cent of those aged five and older have received two doses; 31.2 per cent of adults and 29.2 per cent of those aged 12-plus have received three doses.

Summary: A ThinkGlink reader currently has a construction loan and is planning on needing an end loan to finance the completed building. Ilyce and Sam explain how construction and end loans work and provide this reader with advice on how to minimize the amount of interest he will pay.
Q: I'm learning about construction to permanent loans. My most immediate question is why can't I pay "draws" as they come up before paying interest?
For instance, if the first draw the builder took was for $50,000, I would want to pay that in full. Is that possible?
My loan officer can't quite figure out why I would even want to. My reasoning is simple: I want my converted loan to be as low as possible, and to pay as little interest as possible.
A: A residential construction loan is used by a homeowner while he or she builds a home and a commercial construction loan is used by a real estate investor to build a commercial property. Either of these loans has the lender giving the borrower a bit of money at a time as the building is put up.
When the home is up and the homeowner moves into it or the commercial building is up and rented, an end lender – meaning a lender that wants to give the borrower a permanent loan – will finance the property as it would any home or commercial building, without dealing with construction issues.
During the construction process, the lender will give you money to continue with your construction. Each time you need money for the construction you request a "draw" on the loan.
Once a portion of the loan is paid to you, you have to start paying interest on the loan. You imply from your question that you have cash in hand to pay off your construction loan as you make each draw. If that is so, why do you even have a lender? If you don't need or want to "borrow" the money, why didn't you just pay cash for your construction costs?
Your loan officer is perplexed because on one day he lends you money and you want to pay it back that same day. To him it doesn't make sense and we agree.
Either you want to borrow money and proceed with your construction or you have some or all of the money for the construction in hand. If you have the money and don't want to pay interest on the loan, you could start the construction with your funds and draw down the loan as you need money. That process would minimize the amount of money you borrow and the length of time for the funds that you have borrowed.
If you have an end loan amount in mind, you should sit down with your construction loan officer and talk with him about what these thoughts. The loan officer may have the authority and ability to readjust the amounts that you draw from the loan with other funds that you have and you can work to get the building put up.
If you borrow too little, you can request that the end loan be a little higher. If you borrow too much, you can request that the end loan be lower and that you will pay off the construction lender with money you currently have.

Another step forward
Ruben Rakonczai immigrated to the U.S. from his hometown of Göd, Hungary, with his parents, a suitcase and one purpose: to create a better future for his family.
As the only English speaker in his family at the time, his first step to that mission was setting the foundation for the transition. Rakonczai, who was just 16 years old, carried much of the weight of building a new life for his family on his shoulders.
"A lot of the responsibilities within my family shifted. All of a sudden, I had to figure out how to get myself enrolled in school," he says. "I had to help settle into this new life, figuring out different sorts of insurance, how to get a car, how to get a job."
Rakonczai took another significant step forward in his goal for him and his parents on Dec. 12 when he graduated from Carolina with a bachelor's degree in business administration and a minor in conflict management.
The celebration is the culmination of seven years of sacrifice and dedication that Rakonczai now describes as "whiplash."
Winning the lottery
Rakonczai's parents had entered the green-card lottery to immigrate to the U.S. because they had wanted to leave their home country's unstable economic outlook. The move, Rakonczai said, was necessary to find better opportunities.
The family won the lottery and in 2015 moved to North Carolina near family friends. Overnight, Rakonczai went from an average high schooler to the person handling many of the logistics in his family's new life.
"It was very tricky, but thankfully my parents have always been extremely supportive and wonderful, so together, the three of us, we managed to bridge that gap and successfully move," Rakonczai said.
In addition to getting his family settled in Charlotte, he needed to figure out what he would do after he finished high school. Growing up, college hadn't been in the plans.
From Asheville to Chapel Hill
In Hungary, Rakonczai had trained for what he hoped would be a career as a professional water polo player. But after moving to the U.S., where the sport's popularity is nowhere near the level it is in Hungary, that plan went out the window.
Instead, he decided to pursue his interest in music. After high school, he enrolled in UNC-Asheville's music technology program with plans to minor in economics. But a future in music wasn't quite what he had expected. And after his first semester, his minor became his major, and he shifted focus to economics full time.
"Once I was in there, every day I was learning something new," Rakonczai says. "It opened my eyes to a very broad range of potential careers. Within economics, I was very interested in the finance side of things."
After two years at UNC Asheville, he transferred to Carolina and enrolled at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School.
"Chapel Hill seemed like the absolute best option," he said. "I toured the campus and fell in love with it. I wanted to stay in a public school in-state for financial reasons, and it was absolutely the best choice. Chapel Hill clicked perfectly and checked the marks in all the boxes."
Rakonczai saw doors open to more fields and career options within finance. After taking an investment banking bootcamp at UNC Kenan-Flagler, he knew he had found his future career and dove headfirst in the classroom and outside of it. He took internships with Capital One, Truist Securities, Cherokee Capital Holdings and worked as a financial analyst for Carolina's applied physical sciences department.
The internships and courses at UNC Kenan-Flagler, Rakonczai says, have prepared him for his next move. After graduating, he will return to Truist Securities in New York City as an investment banking analyst.
First, the Rakonczais will celebrate graduation together in the Smith Center. The milestone, Rakonczai said, is about more than just him. Though his name will be on the diploma, graduation will represent an achievement for his whole family.
"My parents made a lot of sacrifices to make this available to me," says Rakonczai, who will be the first in his immediate family to earn a college degree. "Me getting this degree is as much an accomplishment for them as it is for me because they really put in a lot of effort and gave me a world of support to be able to do this. It means the world. And hopefully, it will improve the quality of our life."
His graduation will also mark the start of the next phase of the goal set when they immigrated seven years ago.
"The next step will be looking to help them out in getting a house finally so they can fully settle down," he said. "That's the next step. We're all very excited."

Home News Domestic Leagues Windless for three
Windless for three
Veteran Tony Windless has agreed a contract for a third season with the Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders.
The American-born forward, who will turn 41 next month, has been an influential part of the Riders' success over the last two campaigns.
"Tony is a winner and there aren't many players out there who can match his CV in the BBL," said Coach Rob Paternostro. "He knows what it takes to be successful in this league and he is still in amazing shape.
"You can't buy the experience he brings to the team, which will be invaluable for our young team, and down the stretch in close games he is the sort of player you want with the ball in his hands. I'm delighted to have him back on board."
Windless first came to the UK in 1994 and during a career that has included stops in London, Derby, Milton Keynes, Glasgow and Newcastle has won every major honour in the British game.
After a successful pre-season tournament at John Sandford Sports Centre over the weekend, where Riders posted two huge wins, the season starts for real this weekend.
Leicester's open their season at home to Essex Pirates this Saturday (7.30) in the BBL Trophy, with tickets available via the club's website – www.leicesterriders.co.uk.

This geothermal rescue involved a closed loop horizontal geothermal field that was too small for the heating load. Halfway through the winter heating season, the loop temperature would drop and the heat pumps would experience continued fault codes and would stop working. This issue had not been a problem in the past due to the seasonal nature of house occupancy – the home had been only used in the summer so how the geothermal system handled the winter had never been tested.
The solution was to raise the temperature of the geothermal water going through the heat pumps. Unfortunately, because of critical distances outside between the geothermal field and wetlands, it was not possible to increase the size of the field. Our solution was to add a boiler and bypass valves to heat up the geothermal water inside and to give the outside geothermal field a chance to rest and recover. We had seen that the amount of heat extraction by the heat pumps was out of balance with how much heat the geothermal field could provide.
We automated this process so that the boiler would only run when the loop temperature was below a set temperature. Motorized valves would send water through the boiler instead of to the outside geothermal field so that we did not use the boiler to heat up the outside earth.
Here is the aquastat (gray box with the dial) that controls the operation of this system. The large thermometer allows us to correctly calibrate the optimal balance between boiler operation and outside geothermal field operation.
The aquastat controls several things at once – when the loop temperature is too low, the aquastat signals one motorized valve to close off water to the outside loop and the other motorized valve to open up to the boiler.
This lower motorized valve closes off the outside geothermal field.
The aquastat also signals the boiler to turn on via the relay control panel – but only if there is an active call for heating from one of the heat pumps. Otherwise, the boiler might turn on and mindlessly heat the geothermal piping.
Once the boiler got the signal to turn on and the motorized valves changed the direction of geothermal water, a glycol water mixture flowed from the mechanical room via PEX tubing to another mechanical room with the boiler. This simplified the installation of this boiler geothermal rescue because there was very limited space in the existing mechanical room.
The PEX tubing connects the room with the motorized valves and the circulators for the heat pumps and the remote room with the boiler.
The boiler is a Buderus condensing boiler chosen for its efficient operation at the temperatures needed by the geothermal heat pumps. It has a circulator that mixes the boiler water with the geothermal loop shown here.
The boiler vents to the outside with 3″ PVC vent pipe and no clearance necessary to combustibles. This makes siting of the boiler much easier than the old fashioned non-condensing high temperature boilers.


Synopsis: Mia Dennett has disappeared. Her mother is convinced that she has been kidnapped although her husband thinks it is just Mia being Mia. Gabe Hoffman is the cop determined to find Mia and bring her home. However, the case will prove to be less simple than anyone could have imagined.
This was a very disappointing read. This book has been compared to Gone Girl and I now realise exactly how well put together that book was. Compared to this one anyway. I was expecting a thriller and for all Gone Girl's faults, it certainly was that. This fizzled out pretty quickly. I have problems with romance at the best of times and this was not one of those.
The first problem was the different narratives. They all just seemed the same. Little attempt was made to differentiate the voices or give the characters any sorts of quirks. They were differentiated by their actions not by their voices. I didn't believe in Colin the kidnapper from the very first and he grew more and more unconvincing as the book went on. Mia was similarly one-dimensional.
The second problem was that the twists and turns were too clearly signposted. Mia is rescued quite early on with severe amnesia and her mother's description of her daughter's behaviour and Colin's narrative intertwine with non too subtle hints being given as to what the next big thing would be. The ending was no surprise and even a little disappointing.
Finally, I think that the balance could have been better between romance and suspense. It was apparent from the first that there was the possibility of romance between Gabe and Mia's mother. This was just distracting. Furthermore, the romance that blossoms between Colin and Mia doesn't ring true. There is little in the way of development, just straight from hate to love.
It was pleasing that Mia's father gets his comeuppance as he was truly unpleasant and one of the few characters who didn't seem wooden. That this was at the hands of the daughter that he despised was a neat form of justice but unfortunately just too obvious.

The beginning of October 1967 saw C Company pulling out of the eastern portion of Binh Dinh Province and returning with the rest of the battalion to Camp Radcliffe at An Khe. The 2/5 Cav was to assume the security of the Division's base camp and the four field companies left the coastal mountains, paddies and beaches on October 2 for what would turn out to be just over a month in the Central Highlands.
One of the first missions for C Company was patrolling north of Camp Radcliffe in the "Y-Ring", a zone about five to seven kilometers out from the Camp's perimeter. Although the vegetation, the villages and the terrain all were different on the plateau, the operations were familiar: company and platoon patrols, platoon and squad ambushes and combat assaults.
Henry was in the 3rd Platoon. The company was securing An Khe at the time. Henry had carried my radio for a time before he was KIA. I was on an ARVN base to call in artillery in case the company was hit while on patrol. It was said he was shot at close range by kids, who escaped. Henry was shot once through the heart and died right away.
SP4 Monte Zierke was wounded and evacuated after stepping on a punji stake. This happened at 2:15 PM. Its not known if this happened during the same incident in which SP4 Fugett was killed.

Q: How do I start programming for GMOD (A sandbox game that uses Lua scripting) I'm very new to the site and I understand that this is a really stupid question. I want to be as nice as possible and everything, but, how do I, someone who never coded in my life start making mods? How do I approach scripting in lua when there aren't that many sources for learning, and looking at already made code just makes my head blow up. How do I approach things, how do I learn them, just in general, how to anything related to programming. I'm very sorry if this is very newbie-like and basic and has been seen thousands of times. I really have a passion to get into modding, to get into animating,modelling, all that game design stuff. I have nearly all the tools I need, I just need to get into it. My hope is to make many mods and get people to enjoy games a little diffrently, I get that this will be a long trip, but I'm fully commiting into it.

A: Welcome! Glad to hear you've decided to learn coding! Generally speaking things can get very complicated very quickly. I would start by looking at some very basic programming tutorials on youtube. Your first goal should be to show the text "Hello World" in your language of choice
This is the documentation on getting started with Lua scripting, including a small tutorial about "Hello world".
https://www.lua.org/pil/1.html
Lua might not be the best language to start with, I would recommend picking up an easier language just to learn the basics of programming like python. It will definitely help with your head hurting from looking at code!
Coding in general is a huge and complex subject with tons of information. Never be afraid to google search for something you don't know the answer to.
Best of luck! I would recommend codewars.com as a good beginner place to learn basic coding syntax. Don't be afraid to google the answers, everyone has to start somewhere.

Immigration Courts Reopen Despite Rising Coronavirus Cases
July 14, 2020by Regina Garcia Cano and Julie Watson, Associated Press
A security officer, center, meets with people outside the federal building to give them a form to return for immigration check-ins at a later date, Monday, July 13, 2020, in Baltimore. Some immigration courts across the country have reopened after closing because of the coronavirus pandemic. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez)
BALTIMORE (AP) — Three immigration courts reopened Monday as the government extended its push to fully restart the clogged system despite rising coronavirus cases in states where many of the small courtrooms are located.
In Baltimore, people with hearings to reach final decisions were allowed to enter the federal building housing the immigration court only if they wore masks. Benches in a courtroom and seats in a waiting area were blocked off with tape, and social distancing signs were placed on the floor and elevators.
But scheduling hearings, which can include dozens of people in a single courtroom, did not take place Monday.
Courts in Newark and Detroit also were scheduled to reopen Monday. The reopenings extend a haphazard but unmistakable march to business as usual that has outraged judges and lawyers who say the pandemic poses unacceptable risk of spreading disease.
The Justice Department's Executive Office for Immigration Review started reopening courts over the past month to non-detained immigrants, first in Honolulu on June 15 and over the next three weeks in Boston; Buffalo, New York; Hartford, Connecticut; Las Vegas; New Orleans; Chicago; Cleveland; and Philadelphia.
Changes have been frequent and last minute.
Dallas reopened June 29 but, five days later, the agency announced on Twitter that it was closing until July 17 and gave no explanation. Texas has been reporting a record number of coronavirus cases, and its governor has warned the state may have to return to a lockdown to get things under control.
San Diego, which also has seen a surge in coronavirus cases, was scheduled to reopen court on July 6 but moved it back two weeks — again without explanation.
Hearings for non-detained immigrants were suspended in March because of the public health crisis, though courts in detention centers have continued to operate on a limited basis.
The court system's backlog of 1.2 million cases becomes more crushing as long as courts are closed. The Justice Department said Monday that any court whose reopening date hasn't been announced will be closed through July.
At Baltimore's reopening Monday, security guards in the lobby of the federal building told people they could only enter without any accompanying relatives.
Among those told to wait outside was Wilfredo Vazquez, who traveled more than two hours from the West Virginia-Maryland border with his wife, who faces the risk of deportation. They drove the approximately 150 miles (240 kilometers) so she could try to file paperwork in her case after her scheduled check-in in June was canceled.
"We live very far away," Vazquez said. "So much waste of time frustrates me."
The Justice Department agency has given virtually no explanation on what public health data it is using to determine if courtrooms are safe, said Ashley Tabbador, a Los Angeles-based immigration judge speaking in her capacity as president of the National Association of Immigration Judges union.
"We keep coming back to 'what numbers are you using?'" she said. "They seem to be out of touch with the state numbers we are seeing."
Judges in Dallas have contacted the union, concerned their health is being put at risk. The union represents about 460 immigration judges who work more than 65 courts.
"People don't have trust that the agency is doing the right thing," Tabbador said.
The agency said it continually reviews guidance from the Justice Department, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other federal agencies in making pandemic-related operational decisions.
"Consistent with public health officials' guidance, EOIR has implemented practices to help to protect all people working in and visiting EOIR spaces throughout the country," spokeswoman Kathryn Mattingly said in an email.
In conjunction with the reopening, the government is going to stop allowing the electronic filing of documents, which it had done as a precaution to prevent the spread of the virus.
The agency is requiring face coverings and social distancing, but it has not shared its safety protocols, such as what will be done if someone shows up with no mask, Tabbador said.
Immigration courts are often housed in office buildings — not courthouses — making it particularly difficult for people to spread apart because the rooms are small, Tabbador said, adding that there is also little ventilation, especially in older buildings. The virus may linger in the air indoors, increasing the risk of infection in those spaces, according to the World Health Organization.
Last month, a dozen Democratic senators wrote to the agency asking about the logic behind the May 29 decision to reopen the court system.
Hearings in courts for non-detained immigrants, who can come and go freely, usually require the person be there with their lawyer, especially when deciding whether someone is eligible for asylum.
"Despite these risks, you are moving ahead with the re-openings, and it is far from clear that the immigration courts and the parties who will be using them are prepared for those risks," the senators stated in the letter.
The agency "does not acknowledge the difficulties that litigants still face in effectively presenting their cases, as health concerns may continue to deter witnesses from appearing in court and office closures may make it difficult to obtain medical records, tax records, and other supporting documents," the letter states.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association has urged the agency to postpone the majority of non-detained hearings until the health crisis has subsided.

Goalie Tim Thomas is coming off his worst game in a Panthers' jersey, giving up six goals in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Bruins. Clemmensen is 6-2 in his last eight starts with a .922 save percentage while giving up two or less goals in six of those eight games.
Clemmensen and the Panthers beat the Leafs 3-1 on Dec. 17 in Air Canada Centre as he gave up one goal on 29 shots. He's 3-1-2 with a 1.63 GAA vs. Toronto. Clemmensen's last start was a 5-1 win in Pittsburgh on Jan. 20.
"The last time we were here we went on the road when Timmy [Thomas] was hurt, he had three wins here in Canada," Panthers coach Peter Horachek said after morning skate. "He played very well. He's certainly deserving and he certainly has done a good job when he's been called upon."
It looks like defenseman Erik Gudbranson will be scratched for the third straight game as he and forward Jimmy Hayes bag-skated after an optional morning skate. Players taking that option to take off were the top line trio of Scott Gomez, Sean Bergenheim and Brad Boyes.
The Leafs were hoping to get back forward Trevor Smith (broken hand), but he had a setback this week and will not play. The Leafs also had an optional skate on the only goalie on ice was James Reimer, meaning Jonathan Bernier will be in net.


Today's awarding of the 2018 Commonwealth Games to the Gold Coast warrants celebration for more than the event itself. The economic benefits which will flow from the preparation required to host an event of this magnitude is just the shot in the arm that the Gold Coast, and Australia for that matter, needed. I personally hope that it becomes the fillip which all levels of government appear to need in order to capitalise on this Nation's healthy economic position, low debt level, and abundance of opportunities; something positive!
A warm-hearted congratulations goes to all of those associated with putting the bid together and to the broader Gold Coast community. The Gold Coast is the first regional Australian city to ever host such an event. It will now be exposed to billions of people around the world as preparations unfold in the lead up to April 2018. Property markets will reap rewards, too.
What Will The Games Bring?
According to the State Government, "the Games could generate up to $2 billion in economic benefit with up to 30,000 full time-equivalent jobs created between 2015 and 2020. Research confirms that mega-sporting events like a Commonwealth Games have wide reaching ramifications for the host city. Many impacts are not precisely quantifiable but are significant in their positive impact on the community".
A new Health & Knowledge precinct will be built adjacent to the new $1.76B Gold Coast University Hospital.
The improved facilities and infrastructure has the potential to transform the Gold Coast in to Australia's premier sports and leisure location. It will most certainly enhance the City's chances of bidding for a World Cup Soccer event.
The Games will not just benefit Gold Coast. Big international events create hype, positive sentiment and improved productivity which the entire host nation tends to benefit from at some level. I believe that Brisbane, only an hour away via the M1 or less via the new train line and where most of the flights will come in and out of, will benefit substantially from the Commonwealth Games. There will also be opportunities for the rest of SE Qld as tourists look to make the most of their trip in Oz. In a perfect world, you'd like to see the AUD$ much lower by then to entice more tourists and longer stays.
We cannot under-estimate the considerable boost to consumer confidence which comes from being awarded an event such as this. The scramble to build better roads, tunnels, stadiums, and athlete villages provides substantial opportunities for those in construction-related occupations. The extra revenue generated also spins off on to other sectors. As this graph shows, unemployment rates generally reduce. Demand for housing also increases. As images of development progress gets distributed through the media, the city gains increased exposure, attracts more tourists and revenues for retail and hospitality well before the event starts.
The 2012 London Olympics reportedly created 10,000 long-term jobs just on the construction of its new Olympic Park in Stratford plus a nearby athlete's village.
Australia has an impeccable record with hosting international sporting events. The Sydney Olympic Games (2000) and Melbourne Commonwealth Games (2006) are both rated the most successful ever. The Brisbane Commonwealth Games (1982) and World Expo (1988) were also a success.
The direct impact which these events had on their respective property markets is more difficult to quantify though. Brisbane median property values grew 31% in 1981, the year before its Games, and 35% in 1988 (World Expo). Sydney had a few years of high value growth before and after its Games, with a peak of 24% in 2002 before it then had a sustained flat period. The lead up to the Melbourne Games produced poor property results but had growth of around 11% and 8% for the two years following their games.
There are numerous other factors which affect property markets. That said, there is no question that Australian cities which have hosted such events in the past have been beneficiaries of significant increases to their property values.
Not every major international sporting event produces the economic windfall that the host had hoped for. It's not that long ago (2004, in fact) that Athens hosted the Olympics; Greece's economy is today the worst of all the developed nations!
The biggest challenge which Gold Coast's event organisers will face will be competition for skilled labour. The resources sector is ramping up and already doesn't have the workforce it needs. Australia's defence force, with its plans to construct / assemble a massive $150 billion upgrade of its fleet, will compete for the same workforce.
Other risks associated with this event include not leaving the desired legacy post-event. If costs blow out and / or revenues generated from and after the event come in under budget the State risks being left with a big debt (passed on to tax-payers). Getting the infrastructure planning right is crucial; Sydney's Olympics left behind a poorly designed road network while Brisbane's QEII Stadium is just one example of an under-utilised, expensive, white elephant.
Oh yes, property spruikers – they'll love this. There will already be too many DIY property investors whom will make emotional investment decisions as it is but the spruikers will cash in on this event, for sure!
I'm very happy for the people of Gold Coast, particularly those in the construction industry who've been doing it tough for a while. As an avid sports fan, I'll be like a lot of people tuned in for the drama and inspiration from the efforts of all those world-class athletes. I'll probably even venture down the M1 to experience a few live events with my family. As for the impact which I expect the Games to have on Gold Coast's property markets, it most definitely should be positive in the lead up to 2018 but the legacy which it will leave beyond 2018 will lie in the detail of the planning – only time will tell.
weather, proximity to water, lifestyle, and general desirability of the Coast is undeniable. These things do have some impact on property values. Quality infrastructure and social services, proximity to the State's capital, and affordable housing are also on the positive side of the ledger for the Coast. All of these things are major contributors for historically strong population growth. On the other hand, the Coast has had an over-supply of property for the last few years. Efficient public transport, traffic congestion, and quality town planning are also things which the Coast needs to improve. Unemployment on the Gold Coast is currently amongst the highest in the country but the Games will definitely help address this over time.
The big concern that I've always held for investing on the Coast is its unhealthy reliance on tourism. An event such as the Commonwealth Games, and the international exposure which it brings, is wonderful for tourism but it's a one-off. Unless the Coast's economy ever develops some diversity its property market will always be highly vulnerable to things such as any broader economic downturn (domestically and / or internationally), a high $AUD, and any turmoil affecting airlines.
Overall, yes, I do think the Games will be good for the property market on the Coast. But, I would not recommend rushing out to invest there; there are many better property markets to invest your hard earned dollar in!

I received a request for books that lead to powerful personal growth. The truth is, the best personal growth comes from spiritual growth. The reason for that is simple: your spiritual experience is at the root of your entire existence. If you nurture something from its roots, the rest of that thing will prosper. Your life can improve by shifting your mindset, your habits, your language – absolutely! But those are all just pieces of who you are. They are outside layers. Drilling into the depth of your being to create change? That's bold. That's powerful. And that's going to be long-lasting.
For the record, I chose three books I've read and benefitted from dramatically. They're not listed in any particular order. One is not better or worse than another. They are all impactful and depending on where you are in life, you'll experience different benefits from each. You can go back and reread them and reorder them as to which is more impactful for you multiples times throughout your life. I followed these first three books with two titles still on my "to-read" list. Wystin, my Angel, stated these books would have a strong impact. The links provided may provide me with an affiliate payout but I'm suggesting these books strictly on the basis of the statements above. Okay, here we go!
The Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham by Esther and Jerry Hicks.
This book is a great starting point for a majority of people diving into the waters of personal growth with a spiritual tune. While the book goes into greater depth as to who "Abraham" is, I'll cover the basics here. While the concept necessary in describing Abraham requires a stretch for most people, getting past that will lead to massive growth.
Abraham is a collective consciousness that communicates through Esther Hicks. When Esther allows this to happen she fills the role of a "channel." She's the channel, they're the broadcast. A collective consciousness that exists in another plane communicating through a person? What?! Yeah. That's what it is. Abraham is just a name so our human minds can relate and communicate to them and embrace the teachings they share.
The book will start off explaining how Abraham came to present itself to Esther and Jerry and how that lead to the teachings that were the foundation to the documentary "The Secret." That documentary put the Law of Attraction on the map for mass consciousness to embrace (probably with some help from Oprah), and its content was inspired by Abraham's teachings. While the book focuses on the Law of Attraction, it covers various points of spiritual existence that open the reader's mind to recognize the power of their divine being. This book is very easily one of the best books for anyone open-minded to expanding their consciousness.
I encourage this book in paperback or audiobook format. You'll understand why if you purchase either. There's an energy to the physical or vibrational manifestation of these teachings that jump out at you when you begin to engage with the content. I'm sure that's no mistake on their part.
Playing the Matrix: A Program for Living Deliberately and Creating Consciously by Mike Dooley.
I love this book. I love how it's laid out and how quickly he overcomes our natural arguments against the points he makes. Mike Dooley rips away all the excuses we might have to disregard the information he presents. You can then embrace the powerful message behind his 'program.' It's not a program that's for sale. This is essentially a program in a book. It will teach you the concepts of how to shift from one way of thinking to an elevated way of living.
Mike Dooley was one of the people interviewed in "The Secret." I didn't know that until after I got the book. This book was also recommended to me by my main Angel, Wystin, which is why I had no idea what it was about or who the author was until I looked it up.
In a nutshell, I think this book should be read by every and any individual that's serious about enjoying their life. If you're working towards both enjoying your life as you continue to improve your life, this book will help you get there without a doubt!
I personally preferred this in paperback form but can also see owning it in a digital format too. The audio format is great too because if I remember correctly, he dictates the book. Being able to physically see the matrix Mike describes is very helpful. I'm sure you're given access to a digital format of the matrix as he describes it if you buy the audio version. I still preferred the paperback format. At one point, I listened to the audiobook as I read along. I felt like I was in elementary school but it was actually great to experience both at once.
I cannot begin to describe how much I love this book. I bought this book thinking "yeah, okay, cool." That's usually how these Angel recommended books go for me. Usually, I know nothing about them and then I'm floored by the knowledge other people are sharing with this world. Once I was a page into the content, one single page, I knew this was the truth. I knew this book would hold information that could help most people in this world.
I wish I could describe just how powerful each chapter in this book really is. I'll typically read one chapter at a time and allow myself to process the information. It's easy to process because Michael Singer provides such an effortless guidance through the concepts he shares. It's still enjoyable to sit with that refreshing truth for a small time after engaging with it.
This book, in my opinion, is the epitome of spiritual growth written down for modern society. Whether we're talking about expanding consciousness and awareness or dealing with emotional healing for an enhanced daily experience, this book can cause some amazing energetic shifts and personal growth.
This book was, as most of these books are, a recommendation from Wystin. I've only just begun but what I take from it, this book can be life-changing. How life-changing? Oprah Winfrey read this book and felt it was so powerful that she brought this relatively unknown person onto her show over twenty-five times! She eventually created a program from the lessons in this book (with Gary) and began teaching people these concepts.
That's pretty powerful if you consider how influential Oprah is and how much large personalities like that protect the brand and work they've spent their entire lives creating. I'm excited to get further into this content but if you do a quick google search of this book you'll see there are tons of amazing and positive reviews for it.
That's about the best I can do for my personal experience with this book but I listed it because suggestions from Angels are universal in how they can serve or benefit people. So if they suggest something for you, it's almost always something that can be used for other people's growth as well.
The extra three books listed are essentially my suggested "further reading" if you read this book and enjoy it. Their content resonates with me deeply and when I read their work I recognize the truth in it. Not as in "oh, yes, that's logical." I have a deep feeling of connection to the words on the pages, to the manner in which they're delivered. The teachings of Orin and Daben are very aligned with higher dimensional knowledge.
This book specifically teaches various processes and techniques to help your spiritual growth develop to the point where you're living as your higher-self. That's no easy feat to accomplish alone. It's my mission to help people achieve that through whatever means are available to me and I know these books help with that.
There are many fantastic books that can help people with spiritual growth. And in focusing on spiritual growth, the rest of your personal growth follows. It's the base of everything you experience. This list is just a few of those great books and if you use these as a gauge you'll be able to discern between books that will help you and those written by individuals who seek nothing more than a quick payday or notoriety. Unfortunately, Ego is present in the spiritual community more than people care to admit. These books aren't Ego driven. These books are spirit driven. Their soul intention (no, that's not a misspelling) is to help this world become a better place by helping you have the best life available to you.
Have any book suggestions for me? Get a hold of me on Social Media! Let me know what books you suggest, which book you like most on this list or your thoughts in general.

Effects of the conversion from intensities to amplitudes. (a) Iobs/σ(Iobs) versus resolution. (b) Fobs/σ(Fobs) does not contain any Fobs/σ(Fobs) equal to or smaller than zero. The centric reflections are visible as a thin line of values lower than the majority of the others (inside the red box). (c, d) While the ice rings have high σ(Iobs), the σ(Fobs) are dominated by the prior distribution, which is exponential or super-exponential, leading to smaller than average σ(Fobs) for the ice-ring reflections. In addition, σ(Fobs) values form two distinct clusters (red dashed ellipses), which is a typical effect of the conversion in CTRUNCATE.
