Q: Get array of synonyms from natural nodes's wordnet - NodeJS I am trying to write a function that takes a word and returns an array with all the synonyms found from natural nodes wordnet lookup function (https://github.com/NaturalNode/natural)
However, I am having problems returning the final array. I think my problem is something to do with scopes. As if i log the array within the wordnet lookup, I have the correct array. However, this doesnt seem to effect the array I am trying to return
var getSynomyns = function(keyword){
    var synonymsArr = [];
    console.log(`GETTING SYNOMYNS FOR ${keyword}`);

    wordnet.lookup(keyword, function(results){
        results.forEach(function(result){
            result.synonyms.forEach(function(syn){
                if(synonymsArr.indexOf(syn) === -1){
                    synonymsArr.push(syn);
                }
            });
        });
    console.log(synonymsArr);
    //return synonyms;
    });
    return synonymsArr;
}

As an example, if I put the work 'test' into the fucntion I would like it to return all the synonyms of 'test' However, it just reutrns an empty array.
Let me know if that is not clear and thanks for the help :)
EDIT: I see this is a common question, however, the tagged duplicate is not clear in answering this for me. if someone could explain with my code that would be appricated.

LauraLMH would love your feedback! Got a few minutes to write a review?
The Bad Project
LauraLMH 1 story
Chapter 22. Talking with Dr. Snow/Marianne
Marianne combed her hair, twisted it up into a bun, and changed into a sedate dark green sweater set and fresh jeans. She told herself she wanted to look more academic, but she was really just putting off her meeting with Dr. Snow. She read her new quotation as she started out, "Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat. Anais Nin." She thought that could symbolize the whole Bad Project, except that she didn't want to suffer only defeat.
With Crystal's help, she was passing by her experiences unscathed as much as possible. So far, she was lucky about that, much more than Crystal had predicted. And she had written two nonfiction pieces and three short stories this semester, all rising from her experiences. But that impunity might be over.
Would Crystal get in trouble too? Marianne knew she hadn't worried earlier about Crystal's scenarios about getting in trouble, but now one of them seemed all too real. Helping someone violate the rules against plagiarism was an honor violation almost as serious as the plagiarism itself here at Carson. You got a note in your file just like an honor violation, and being caught again resulted in the same effects as cheating twice. Would the deans consider Crystal for that big scholarship she wanted if she had an honor violation note in her file? She worried that just when she and Crystal seemed to be growing apart, perhaps her roommate would become embroiled in the consequences of the Bad Project.
The early afternoon sun fell gently on the landscaped grounds, but Marianne couldn't enjoy the fall flowers or golden leaves. Snow's office was almost all the way across campus, and it took her fifteen minutes to arrive at Menseth Hall. She walked slowly down the musty hallway, looking hesitantly at each office. Which one was his? There was no directory, but every office had a name plaque, hard to read in the semi-darkness unless she went up close to the door. She tried to clear her throat, and Dr. Snow popped out of an office across the hall.
"Hello, are you Marianne Wu?" he said brightly, appearing out of nowhere rather like an elderly elf escaped from Santa's workshop.
"Yes, I'm Marianne," she said softly.
He beckoned her into the door of his large office. Walls of bookcases, which were crammed with books and magazines from floor to ceiling. He even had piles of papers and books in stacks on the floor and on most of the chairs. But the chair at his desk and one right across from it were clear. He waved her to the seat across the desk and sat down. Dr. Snow had rumpled his white hair so he had two cowlicks, and his glasses weren't quite square on his face. His three piece tweed suit reprised old movies of Oxford dons. There was a red pencil behind his right ear.
Once he sat down, Marianne could only see Dr Snow's head and the top of his shoulders over the piles of papers on his desk. But the area on his side of the desk, right in front of him next to his computer, was clearer. It had only one small pile of paper, marked here and there with red ink including a few proofreaders' marks that Marianne recognized from her high school literary magazine experience, delete, stet, etc.
It looked like he had been editing a manuscript for publication before Marianne arrived. He pushed it aside tenderly, smiling at the pages the way Marianne had never seen him smile at a student. She remembered the first day of class. He had said, "I don't like interruptions during my lectures. You don't know anything and I'm not going to pretend you do. Please hold your questions until the end." He hadn't said it unkindly, but it was so dismissive it felt like a slap. And later on, he always ran late, so there were never any questions. Perhaps he enjoyed publishing much more than interacting with students.
He peered over the piles at Marianne, who perched on the edge of her wooden chair, clutching its smooth, bent arms tightly with both hands. She felt cold, and was sorry she'd taken off her cardigan sweater. But she was too nervous to retrieve it from the back of her chair.His bright eyes behind thick glasses fixed on hers. "You, young lady, turned in a paper that was not from this year's experiment. We do make small changes, and you've given me the experiment from year before last. What do you have to say about that?"
For a second, she sat immobilized like a rabbit surprised by a flashlight, but then she could almost hear Crystal's voice in her ear telling her what to do. "I'm so sorry. I don't understand biology report, I don't understand experiment. I borrow report from older friend for help, but I don't understand report. So I just copy it."
She felt un-American speaking pidgin English like that, but Crystal had advised her to pretend English was hard for her, and she was going to carry it through. It made her feel even less like a Chinese person, but more like an American who wasn't quite honest. She wasn't an immigrant. What was she doing? This sham definitely felt wrong. But her Philosophy class had left her confused about right and wrong, so she told herself to think of it all as more experience, grist for writing.
"You need to comprehend the laboratory work, Ms. Wu. We give you these laboratories so you'll understand the lectures better. You didn't get it at all? Let me see how you're doing on the tests."
Dr. Snow opened a desk drawer and pulled out an ancient dark green grade book. Most of Marianne's professors used computer software to track grades but evidently not Dr. Snow. "This book can't crash and stop working if you're all writing your papers at the end of the semester like those computers do. It's always ready," he said to Marianne with a chuckle. Obviously a well worn joke, she thought. She bit her lip to stop it from trembling, knowing what he was going to find inside.
"Oh, no, you really struggled with the first examination I see," he said. "Do you have trouble with English?"
"No trouble. Good English. I understand English. Just not Biology."
"Hmm. How is your writing in English?"
"It's not so good. I am not good writer yet, sorry to say. I will take class next semester, not yet." Marianne wondered if she was laying it on too thick. But, she thought Dr. Snow wasn't really seeing her as a person, just as an interruption to his editing of that manuscript he had looked at so lovingly. She hoped he would decide not to report her to save himself trouble with testifying at the honor court. He scrabbled inside another desk drawer, muttering to himself.
Dr. Snow looked up and said, "I had a list of the Student Affairs-office-certified Biology tutors here a couple of days ago, but I've misplaced it. But if you go over there, they'll provide you with a free tutor. You should work with him for three to five hours every week, trying to learn the important principles of Biology." He looked hopeful. Was that because he had devised a strategy to send her elsewhere? Why had he said "him," were there no female tutors?
"Could you write note for me?" Marianne said, "So they understand?"
"Of course, my dear. Let me get out a piece of stationery." Dr. Snow's tiny hands dived into yet another drawer. He made an amazing amount of noise rooting around in his drawers, but the process wasn't successful. Finally he took down an expired lecture notice from his bulletin board, cut off the blank lower half of it, and scrawled a short note: "Ms. Wu is having difficulties in my section of Biology 1 and needs to have a tutor provided by the Office of Student Affairs." He dated the note and handed it to her.
Marianne looked at the note. She was getting into the part she played more and more. "Dr. Snow, please could you sign?"
He smiled, got out his fountain pin again, signed it with a large and decorative emblem of his approval, and handed it to Marianne with a flourish.
"Oh, look, there's an arachnid on your chair," he said suddenly.
Marianne squealed, jumped up, shook her shoulders, brushed herself down in the back as best she could, and said, "Where is it? I absolutely hate spiders."
Snow looked at her with a sideways smile. "I know you're pretending not to speak good English," he said. "Be careful, young lady, I'll be watching you." Marianne didn't answer. She held her lips tightly together, shakily grabbed her cardigan, put the note into her backpack, and got up to leave. Dr. Snow said, "You'd better behave yourself from now on." His cold voice made her feel tiny and inadequate. She heard the door close with a loud click behind her.
As Marianne walked back down the dingy hall to the door, she thought about what he had said. He had caught her out. He sounded scary, but he didn't say he was planning to report her for an honor violation. She was giddy with relief. Should she go by the room to tell Crystal? Yes, probably she was worried, about Marianne and about herself. Marianne knew it would be hard to tell her about what he said at the end.
As she came into their room, Crystal looked up from her desk. "What happened? Did you get off?" she asked.
"Sort of," Marianne said. "He went along and recommended me to get a tutor, but at the end he tricked me into showing I speak good English."
"Oh, no. I'm sorry it went wrong. Bad advice, huh?"
"Not really. He seemed to be looking for a way to push me off onto another office, like the Dean of Students, to get tutoring. But he said I'd better be careful."
"That's bad. Might he report you later?"
Crystal's lips were tight and she had a worry line between her eyebrows. Marianne said, "No, I doubt it. He'd have to say he let me off when he knew I'd done it. I think I'm okay." But there was still a tendril of doubt.
Crystal was reassured, though. "Good, I'm glad he won't tell the deans." She seemed relaxed again. Marianne told her goodbye and set off for the lit magazine work room. She saw Professor Sandstrom walking across campus and he looked up and smiled and waved at her. She felt a strange flip-flop inside when she saw him now. He had been perfect at the dinner, joked around with all her friends, drew them all out about their future plans, been quite interested in Marianne's dreams of being a writer and Crystal's of being a doctor in Africa.
"No one wants to be a philosopher?" he asked in mock horror. "Who will carry on my field after I'm gone?"
Elise said, "There's a while yet, a good long while, before you'll have to retire. Surely someone will come along with enough brain power to major in Phil before that." Everyone laughed.
Marianne thought she'd like to find out more about the ethics of having sex without being married, but she was not really comfortable with the idea of talking about it with Dr. Sandstrom. She couldn't discuss it with Sharon either, since Liu was her brother and he was the one she thought would work best for the Sex Bad. She thought about Joyce Lee, but she was more of an acquaintance, not really close enough. And Jim wasn't the kind of friend with whom intimate conversation seemed possible. Neither were Bella and the others in her critique group. Maybe she should just keep Sex Bad planning to herself. Or maybe some day she would get up the nerve to ask Sandstrom what he thought about it.

My new favorite recipe for pork loin roast. Though I couldn't get a roast with the skin still attached, I was able to buy a nice one with lots of fat on the outside. I scored that and roasted it according to the recipe.
Roasting time to reach 140°F (60°C), the internal temperature I'm looking for with pork loin, was 40 minutes after the initial high-temperature roasting phase. The outcome was fantastic—a nicely browned, crisp exterior that was super juicy inside.
Easy, simple, delicious. The only fault I can find with this pork loin roast is the relative unavailability of a classic pork roast with skin. Most butchers today don't have any of the fat or skin left on the pork they bring into their shops. I was unable to find a roast as described in the recipe even after checking with 4 different butchers. One butcher and I finally arrived at a workable compromise—he took some skin from a leg he had and tied it around a lovely rib end pork loin roast. This was the perfect solution.
I then followed the recipe as written, using salt and pepper as the only seasoning. The end results were well worth the effort and a simple, shining example of everything a pork roast should be. The initial high temperature for 45 minutes does make for a very crisp crackling on top. After it had finished roasting, I removed the cracking and put it under the broiler for a couple of minutes to crisp the other side while the roast rested.
If you can get a butcher to cooperate, this roast makes for a perfect weekend meal with simple side dishes so the pork takes center stage.
This recipe was amazing! I highly recommend it.
I followed the ingredient list precisely and was amazed that such simple ingredients could produce such scrumptious results. The roasting temperatures—a start of 475°F (250°C) and then the reduced level of 350°F (180°C)—worked perfectly. I made sure my roast had a nice layer of fat. Searing the pork roast at the high oven temperature crisped the fat and added a delicious flavor. I chose to cook the roast for only 22 minutes per pound at the lower temperature and the roast was moist and delicious. I also used the drippings to make a small amount of drizzling sauce, and I think that was the clincher for this delightful entrée.
This roasting method produced a silken and moist result.
I roasted a 4-pound boneless pork loin. My roast was sans skin due to lack of availability. However, the roast was still excellent. The high heat at the beginning created a caramelized crust and the drop in temperature left the center moist. I prefer to pull a pork roast from the oven at about 137°F (58°C) and let the temperature rise to 145°F (63°F) during the rest. And 20 minutes per pound was a good time estimation for planning's sake.
The thin slices of meat fell like velvet on the cutting board. Adding a few crushed garlic cloves scattered around the roasting pan would add a wonderful fragrance and flavor.
Roasting at a high temperature for a shortened period of time locks in the flavorful juices in the pork, creating a moist, tender piece of meat that you could cut with a fork.
This was very tender and tasty pork.
Following the timing given in the recipe, my pork hit 170°F (77°C). The fat crisped nicely, and it all tasted great. I made a quick gravy from the drippings, some Wondra, and some white wine, and it was nice with the pork loin.
This looks delightful. I have the hardest time finding a pork loin roast here in LA (at least a roast with a fat cap and skin. So I end up taking a pork tenderloin and wrapping it in raw pork belly, then tying it off. Works like a charm and is often cheaper than a loin roast.
Love it, Pacific Merchants. Love it. Brilliant tactic. Many thanks for sharing.
I have also wrapped a loin in a belly. The loin stays moist and you get the added benefit of chicharróns as well.
Ahhhhhh, quite nice, bkhuna. And just to state the obvious, chicharróns are always, always, always a very good thing…especially in contrast to the ridiculously tender pork loin that this roast presents to you. Thanks!
This is a fantastic recipe. I honestly don't think I will ever make pork loin any other way. Delicious!!!
How wonderful to hear! Thanks, Beth.
Could you use this same method of cooking with a stuffed pork loin?
Rachelle, you probably could, although the timing may be somewhat longer. In addition, you'll want to check the internal temperature not just of the pork roast but also of the stuffing inside the pork roast to be certain that it's cooked to the proper temperature.
I made this one last night. Like others here, I did not have a loin with the skin on, but found one with enough fat on it to do the trick. The cooking times and temperatures from the recipe worked perfectly for my 2-pound roast. And wow, the crunch on that after time at 475, that's just magic. It was really succulent roast. I will definitely be using this recipe again, as it is dead simple and turns out an excellent roast.
E, superb. So glad you enjoyed the roast. And I'm really impressed to see you cooking so much. I'm sure Renee is just luxuriating in it….
I am! E even let me break a little crackling off the roast to snitch while the roast was resting. Damn, was it good!
This was amazing – I prepared it basically the same way. Baked on 350 for about 15 min and reduced temp to 200 for three hours. The roast was beautiful brown and juicy! Yummy for sure.
So great to hear that, Debi. Come on back for more.
Wonderful, Giovanni! And yes, please do let us know!
Renee & David – Just two cents worth for the city folk posting here. I am an organic veg farmer on the Nebraska prairie. Real boondocks out here, but most small towns have a kinda sorta butcher shop/processor/locker. Some owned by experienced geezers like me (72 years old); some owned/operated by relatively inexperienced young guys/gals who may not have had any formal training in butchery at all. I don't raise pigs, but my good farmer friend down the road raises one for me every year – relatively free range, organically raised, no chemicals or hormones, non-GMO supplemental feed, etc. And, perhaps most importantly he raises only a few pigs each year of one of several heritage varieties. Believe me, the pork from a Red Wattle hog raised out of doors is totally different from a factory-raised, hormone-injected, GMO Grain-fed pig bred to reach market weight in half the time it takes a naturally raised pig. For one – it is red meat, not white meat, and it has much more flavor.
But – even with all those rural advantages, I was not able to get any of these rustic butchers to prep me a loin as David describes above (fat and skin left on the loin). One old dude butcher said that he remembered doing loins like 50 years ago, but had forgotten how to do it.
Merry Christmas and thanks for maintaining an interesting website and having so many courteous, involved readers. There is so much snark on the internet that it is very refreshing for an old man to encounter folks that are respectful of each other. I will be back.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Gene. Many thanks for sharing your kind words and your experience. We're looking forward to hearing from you again!
Hello! I made this for the first time last week and my parents and brothers loved it, saying it was the most succulent pork loin they had ever had. Everyone in my family has a day where we cook dinner because everyone is either working or studying and when it came my turn, I felt bored of the same pork dishes, so I perused Google in hopes of finding some inspiration. Happenstance, I found this recipe and thanks to all the rave reviews, decided to try it.
My pork loin didn't have any skin, but it did have a substantial layer of fat, enough to crisp up. The only things I did differently were add a dusting of garlic powder, and adjust the cooking time. After crisping the skin at the recommended temperature, I dropped the oven down to 340 degrees and instead cooked 19 minutes per pound. Accompanied by sides–green beans with caramelized onions, candied carrots, and roasted potatoes–the four and a half pound pork loin was by far the best I have made (it was also the first pork loin I ever made). Thank you for this recipe, I look forward to making it again.
Samantha, you are more than welcome. Your variation sounds delicious!
Can I cook the roast in a crockpot successfully!
Mary, you need the dry heat of an oven to make this recipe. But we have lots of other pork recipes that work in a slow cooker.
Mary, I'm including a link to all our crockpot recipes. Happy slow-cooking!
I also had difficulty finding a roast with the fat still attached. I laid 3 full strips of thawed bacon across the pork loin rib end boneless roast. Prior to this, I rolled the roast in a combination of olive oil, fresh rosemary leaves, ground black peppercorns, and a few twists of pink Himalayan sea salt. I sometimes add crushed red pepper spice. It never tastes the same twice but it's close.
Magnificent, Linda! Love the way you made this recipe your own!
I made this tonight and it is hands down the easiest and best way to roast a pork loin. My roast was 3.3 lbs with a nice layer of fat on top. Since our oven runs a bit hot I roasted it at 450 for 20 minutes and reduced temp to 325. I pulled it from the oven at 145 and let it rest for 30 minutes and it was perfect. Fat drippings made a fabulous gravy.
Magnificent, Sidney! Many, many kind thanks for sharing your experience with us! So glad you love this as much as we do!
Paul, you can, but not for the full time. You may have to take them out before the roast is done and keep them warm.
I found this recipe after I had already purchased a nice pork loin with the skin. I was at a local butcher who specialized in organic pork and I asked if they had any with skin and they said they could make me one. I had fond memories of my mom making pork roast with crispy skin when I was a kid.
However, I actually had no idea how to cook it. I found this recipe and it made a great roast. My wife and daughter didn't like the skin but it was perfect. Salty and crispy and easy to chew. Easily the equivalent of my moms best. My wife and daughter did like the roast and found it tender and delicious. A big thanks.
This recipe is a charmer! Decadent, moist, delicious and beautiful on presentation! To get fat atop my pork loin I simply wrapped it with thick sliced bacon. I added a dry white wine to the drippings with some herbs, garlic and a tbsp of butter. I cooked the alcohol taste out of the drippings and served the silky sauce on the side. SCRUMPTIOUS!
I bought a tied pork loin roast from a local butcher and was surprised when I unwrapped it to see the skin still on. Having enjoyed skin-on roast pork from my local Chinese BBQ, I cast about online for a recipe and found this one. It works! The long, high-temp initial roast renders lots of fat and gives the skin that bubbly, crispy texture. The liberal salt dose brings out great flavor. Use a thermometer and don't overcook.
I find myself lucky enough to be in possession of a 7.5 lb bone-in, skin-on pork loin roast from a hand-raised, loved-until-slaughter local pig named Cordelia.
Given the bones, is there anything I need to do differently here?
Ha! Indeed. Gladly I think she had a good life.
I have seen recipes where they put shallots and dry cider into the bottom of the roasting pan, then use that for sauce later. Does the steam from the liquid affect the crispness of the crackling? Would that affect this recipe negatively?
Thanks so much for all this recipe goodness. I cannot wait to try it out.
Christine, you can add the shallots and cider, sure. It won't really add much flavor, as all your doing is steaming the meat. But…it can make pan juices. The recipe calls for the roast to be blasted at the end to crisp the skin, so you'll be fine. Now, young lady, I know you'll take pictures for dear ole Fatty Daddy, right?
Looking forward to trying this! Where do you find a pork roast with the rind?
Cindy, you'll need to ask at your favorite butcher counter. They may be able to special order one for you. And if not, try to request a pork roast with a lot of fat left untrimmed. Good luck!
Fantastic recipe! For those people struggling to find pork loin with skin, try an Asian market if there is one in your area. They often carry this cut.
Excellent advice, Stephanie! Thank you! And so happy to hear you like this as much as we do!
I'm trying this recipe — in the process now. I have quite a small roast (under 2 lbs) so your recipe should be right for me. My trepidation is that in other recipes I've seen, the total cook time seems to be the 22ish mins/pound without the initial 25 mins at 475 degrees. My fear is overcooking. Can you confirm that the mins/pound are for after the initial high temperature period? and does that period ever get varied for size of roast? Thank you!
I've never had a problem with this being over cooked. But I haven't made it with a roast smaller than what the recipe states. The best gauge always is to check with an instant-read thermometer. As long as you hit 145 degrees, you're perfect.

"Integration of DNA Marker Information into Breeding Value Predictions" by Matthew L. Spangler, Stephen D. Kachman et al.
Calves from 20 herds representing seven breeds were genotyped with a reduced DNA marker panel for weaning weight. The marker panel used was derived using MARC Cycle VII animals. The results suggest marker effects based on this small panel are not robust across breeds and that methodology exists to integrate genomic information into the prediction of breeding values in a single breed context.

The Lancers moved down the field into scoring range on their next possession, but ended up settling for a 35-yard field goal from kicker Noah Hwang (Brooklyn, N.Y.) to make the score 7-3.
The Colonials responded on their next drive with another touchdown, this one coming from a one-yard rush by senior Khalil Patterson (Hartford, Conn.). Patterson rushed on four consecutive plays, accumulating 23 yards on the drive.
Western Connecticut capitalized on a Worcester State fumble and added another touchdown to their total. Sophomore linebacker Vinnie Scancarello (Monroe, N.Y.) recovered the Lancer fumble. Three plays later, freshmen receiver Will Daniels (Bethel, Conn.) caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from quarterback David James (Stamford, Conn.) to make the score 21-3.
Worcester State led a long drive down the field, running 12 plays for 67 yards. The drive stalled out in the red zone, but Hwang scored a 22-yard field goal to bring the score to 21-6.
Patterson scored another touchdown on the next Colonials' drive, catching a 17-yard pass from James to make the score 28-6.
That score would remain the same going into halftime. The Colonials outgained the Lancers 256 yard to 172. Noah Brum (Honolulu, Hawaii) led the Lancers with 161 passing yards at the half. McKinnon had 18 carries for 106 yards through the first two quarters.

Worcester State led a 10-play, 77-yard drive at the end of the third quarter, ending with a six-yard touchdown run from senior running back Dex Andrews (Dorchester, Mass.).
Western Connecticut responded immediately with a touchdown of their own, a 20-yard reception for senior receiver Austin Calamita (North Branford, Conn.). Quarterback David James placed the pass perfectly to allow Calamita to make the touchdown grab. Lancer sophomore Anthony Dobronte broke through the line on the extra point and blocked the kick to keep the score at 37-12.
Brum led the Lancer on a 63-yard drive immediately after, ending with a touchdown pass to junior tight end Jacob Maher (Marshfield, Mass.), bringing the Lancers back within 18 points.
Colonial backup quarterback Thomas Balacki (Huntington, N.Y.) entered the game and threw a 34-yard touchdown to sophomore receiver Nick Kimball (New Milford, Conn.). This put Western Connecticut up 44-19 with only 7:39 left in the game.
The Lancers would lead one last touchdown drive, capped off by Brum's eight-yard pass to Colin Robinson (Wrentham, Mass.). This cut the lead to 44-25 with 3:25 minutes left.
Brum led the game with 349 passing yards, completing 28 of 47 passes and added two touchdowns for the Lancers. James recorded 137 passing yards and three touchdowns on 13 completions.

This is not a good time for pluralism and human rights in the Middle East and North Africa, although there are important degrees and variations. In my short comments today, I will limit myself to describing some broad dynamics affecting pluralism, human rights and democracy in the region so that we can have a context for a constructive discussion of the trends and possibilities. My focus will be on the challenges faced and not on the possibilities or the bright spots.
Let me start with the impact of the Arab uprisings and five issues that need to be understood.
The most profound, and probably enduring, change that has occurred in the region with the advent of the Arab uprisings is the empowerment of the individual in a region where the individual has counted less politically and culturally. This empowerment is driven principally by an expanding information revolution, especially satellite TV, the Internet and social media, that is not going away. Governments have lost control of information, people's expectations are rising because of what they see outside their own countries, and the interactive nature of the Internet and social media is empowering. This public empowerment is in the long term an important and constructive force that is likely to push for more freedom, pluralism and human rights. But in the short term, there are dynamics that lead to exactly the opposite, as we have witnessed in a number of states swept by public uprisings. It should be noted, however, that even countries that have felt only a limited impact of the uprisings, such as Jordan, Morocco and Algeria, are not immune to the public pressure that comes with the empowerment generated by an expanding information revolution.
First, the fact that the public is empowered doesn't mean it is unified. In fact Arab societies—and Israel's—are highly diverse, and that diversity had been muted by authoritarianism, in the case of the Arab states, and intense external conflict in the case of the Israelis. This diversity is not limited to the kind of sectarianism that we see in states like Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Bahrain. There are ideological, economic and geographic divisions that surface. As we have seen in Egypt, aside from the roughly 10 percent of the population who are Christians, the Muslim majority is overwhelmingly Sunni. The divide between secularists and Islamists, among others, has pitted people against each other in a zero-sum confrontation that is at least as divisive as sectarianism. Public empowerment means that every group wants its voices heard and wants a share of the power in a changing political empowerment. This is especially so as central authority weakens, and new rules of the game are being set up.
Second, in the struggle for a new system, and everyone vying for influence and a share of the pie, not everyone is equal. In these environments, minorities are most vulnerable as the state weakens, and we see this already in a number of states, where groups like Christian Arabs have become particularly vulnerable. In addition, the public is still fighting against existing sources of power that want to assert themselves in a new polity. This includes state bureaucracies, corporations, individuals and groups with deep pockets, and, above all, military institutions. In fact, in all the states with significant uprisings, the initial outcome and the resulting conditions could not be understood without understanding the roles of the military institutions: In Egypt and Tunisia, the initial toppling of rulers came with the support, or at least the acquiescence, of the military, and the different results so far are partly a function of the decisions each institution has taken. The outcome will continue to depend on the decisions of each institution. In Syria, Bahrain and Libya, the army supported the rulers and the outcome was ultimately dependent on that decision.
Third, transitions are destabilizing, and that usually is not a good thing for democracy, pluralism and human rights. Deep insecurity and economic deprivation, often short-term results of a weakened central authority, provide fertile ground for those who want to rule with an iron fist—as fear trumps pluralism and human rights. We see this in many of the states facing the uprisings to varying degrees, and we see this also playing into the hands of those governments that have not had to deal with their own major uprisings. In fact, one reason why the Arab uprisings have not expanded beyond the early cases is that the anarchy, such as in Syria and Libya, and economic deprivation and limited insecurity, as in Egypt, have given rulers a way of frightening their own public: Do you want to be in Aleppo and Tripoli, or Amman and Riyadh?
Fourth, while each country in the region has its own specific conditions that have to be evaluated separately, it is fair to say that there are commonalities in the Arab world. Regional politics are interwoven with domestic politics; the international is sometimes hard to separate from the national. Polls indicate common aspirations and, more centrally, note the early spillover from Tunisia across the Arab world, but not into other regions, including non-Arab Muslim countries. In addition, it is also obvious that the way the uprisings have unfolded in every country—with the possible exception of Tunisia—cannot be explained without reference to major external intervention. Syria is of course experiencing upheavals that are at the core internal, but the intensity, nature, and ultimately outcome of the struggle cannot be understood without the role of Iran and Saudi Arabia, Syria's neighboring states, not to mention the United States and Russia. Even in Egypt, where there is no military intervention from the outside, the infusion of billions of dollars from the Arab Gulf states is an important factor in what happens in Egypt as President Sisi tries to stabilize the economy.
Fifth, the case of the non-Arab Middle Eastern state in the group, Israel, is of course unique, but there are potential troubles ahead for pluralism and democracy, whose prospects remain partly tied to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel is a successful democracy within the pre-1967 war boundaries. But two things suggest troubling trends: the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza have not had full independence, and the international toleration of this situation has been predicated on the assumption that occupation is temporary and that the focus should be on achieving a political settlement that leads to two states. If the hope for two states is lost, and a sense emerges that the status quo is semi-permanent, the Israeli-Palestinian inequality will be evaluated differently. Second, as the Israeli aspiration for a Jewish majority state becomes threatened within existing boundaries, we will see more ultra-Jewish nationalism reflected not only in the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, but also in the internal dynamics between Israel's Jewish majority and the 20 percent of its population who are Arab citizens—as we have begun to see already. In turn, the absence of independence for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza will generate empathy among Israel's Arab citizens in a manner that plays into the hand of extremists on both sides—thus jeopardizing the coexistence of Jews and Arabs even within Israel's pre-1967 borders.

What is the Purpose of Form I-407?
General / By US-Immigration.com
The U.S. is one of the most welcoming countries for immigrants, with the most progressive immigration policies. It allows citizens of foreign countries to become permanent residents of the country. There are different ways through which a foreigner can become a legal resident. For example, a foreign national can gain a U.S. green card based on his marriage to a legal resident or a U.S. citizen. Foreigners can also become legal residents through employment.
Likewise, the U.S. allows the legal residents to give up their legal permanent resident status. Green card holders who seek to give up their status can do so by filing Form I-407, Record of Abandonment of Lawful Permanent Resident Status. This form is for those who want to give up their status in the U.S. and settle in a foreign country. Once the form is filed and processed, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will update its records and show the applicants that they are no more legal residents of the country.
This form can be filed with a USCIS international field office in person or by mail. Legal residents living abroad can file Form I-407 to give up their green cards at a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate. This form can also be submitted to a Customs and Border Protection officer at a U.S. port of entry. There is no filing fee for Form I-407.
Those seeking to travel abroad for a short time period ie, six months to one year can do so by getting a travel document. These individuals need not relinquish their legal status to travel abroad for a temporary period. They can get travel documents by filing Form I-131, Application for Travel Document.
Voluntary relinquishment of legal status would benefit green card holders who wish to settle in some other country. Some may move to another country with an intention of making that country their permanent home. Those residents who have settled abroad may find it difficult to maintain their green cards and may also face tax consequences. This voluntary relinquishment of legal residence will benefit such residents. The I-407 application will help them to officially give up their status in America. Once their requests are processed, they will be required to surrender their green cards. Residents who relinquish their legal status in the country can travel back to the U.S. on temporary visas and not as legal permanent residents.


Mobile operators around the world are challenged by the continued increase in demand for mobile data. As well as more subscribers using mobile broadband, each consumer is increasing the amount of bandwidth they consume. Streaming TV and movies, high definition video content, increased use of video conferencing and personal chat, and more embedded video in web pages all contribute to increasing demand for mobile bandwidth.
Mobile carriers could realize savings of more than $546 million over a five-year period by utilizing a virtualized media breakout controller (vMBC) to offload 32% of video traffic. vMBCs alleviate increased data traffic and demand through transport and core networks elements by routing traffic directly to the internet. vMBCs enable operators to augment and extend the designed capability of their existing gateway products, providing financial justification for deployment of Multi-access Edge Computing with the derived benefits of user plane latency and a 5G ready architecture. This will provide operators with greater business agility and lower total cost of ownership.
In this White Paper, you'll learn how utilizing a vMBC at the edge of the network will decrease and optimize the amount of unprofitable data that needs to be carried through the network. A greater percentage of offload leads to greater profits, and a 32% local breakout will extend the current macrocell backhaul and EPC capacity by 25.6 months.


Etisalat has competed construction of Phase 1 of its Points of Presence.
Etisalat has achieved a major milestone at Expo 2020 Dubai, with the completion of the first phase of construction of two state-of-the-art Points of Presence (PoPs) which will be the main interconnection point for the provision of services to the entire Expo 2020 site, as well as serve as a communications gateway to the world at the global event.
"Today's strategic announcement is significant as it sets the path for the next level of digital infrastructure development for Expo 2020 Dubai. This is in line with the country's objectives of achieving digital transformation with the deployment of best-in-class technology and infrastructure to provide advanced services to all customers and visitors at this global event. Etisalat will continue to work closely with the Expo 2020 team in enabling digital innovation to make sure that all visitors will enjoy a seamless experience on their digital journey at the global event," said Esmaeel Alhammadi, senior vice president, Network Development, Etisalat.
At the Expo 2020 site, a pair of Tier III PoPs are currently being constructed that are designed to provide complete resilience, carry massive inward and outward global traffic and deliver advanced connectivity services to all users visiting the first World Expo in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia.
The PoPs will support an extensive virtualised network deploying the most advanced systems and including a central telecom hub that will eventually support all requirements of the 'Dubai South' community after Expo 2020. These points will also support all telecom services, such as fixed, mobile, Wi-Fi and IPTV services, and provide millions of visitors with an advanced connectivity experience at Expo 2020. Construction of the PoPs is set for completion by the end of 2018.
"One of the most critical parts of any global event is the digital highway that enables the electronic services on which we all so heavily rely. Today is an important milestone for Expo 2020 and Etisalat. We have worked together with our Official Premier Partner to build a network capable of connecting Expo to the world and the world to Expo. This project epitomises Expo 2020's main theme, 'Connecting Minds, Creating the Future'," said Mohammed Alhashmi, Senior Vice President - Innovation and Future Technologies, Expo 2020 Dubai.
Etisalat is the Official Telecommunications and Digital Services Partner for Expo 2020 and is involved in creating the infrastructure for the site to make it one of the fastest, smartest and best connected places in the world. As part of the Premier Partnership, Etisalat is involved in creating a telecommunication infrastructure for the Expo site that will provide on-site Wi-Fi capable of handling 300,000 visitors daily and deliver a cutting-edge, immersive digital experience that brings the Expo theme to life for the 25 million expected visits.

NEWS FROM THE CELTIC LEAGUE
The Cornish branch of the Celtic League has spoken about racist comments about indigenous Cornish people made on social media.
The catalyst for the racist attacks appears to have been the decision of Devon and Cornwall police to put bilingual signage on Truro police station.
The decision by the police was welcomed by the Celtic League and many other groups and individuals in Cornwall.
Following the derogatory comments (since removed) on social media League spokesman Tony Leamon said:
"Should our organisation or membership become aware of racial abuse directed at the Cornish people, a record will be kept and the Equality and Human Rights Commission and the police informed flagging potential breaches of the Public Order Act and other related Criminal legislation."
He also pointed out that the Cornish are now formally recognised as a National Minority following the United Kingdom governments decision in April of this year to confer that status via the 'Framework Convention'*
Mr Leamon also stressed that:
"The Cornish Branch of the Celtic League which has a membership comprising people of many National Minorities and ethnicities condemns all racism and bigotry and will act proactively should such matters be brought to its attention."

The Celtic League has branches in the six Celtic Countries. It works to promote cooperation between these countries and campaigns on a broad range of political, cultural and environmental matters. It highlights human rights abuse, monitors all military activity and focuses on socio-economic issues
