Homeland Security singles out 118 sanctuary jurisdictions that thwart ICE

March 21, 2017

immigration_arrests_91198_c0-131-3223-2010_s885x516Homeland Security officials on Monday released their first edition of President Trump’s name-and-shame list of sanctuary cities, singling out 118 jurisdictions that thwart federal immigration agents and put one murder suspect and a convicted arsonist back on the streets this year.

All told, at least 200 illegal immigrants whom agents sought to deport were instead released by prisons and jails from Jan. 28 to Feb. 3 — the first week of data under Mr. Trump’s shaming policy.

Four metropolitan-area jurisdictions — the District of Columbia, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland and Arlington in Virginia — are on the list as sanctuaries, putting them in danger of losing federal money if they don’t revise their policies.

Nationally, Travis County in Texas was the worst offender. The city and state jails there released 142 illegal immigrants that week, according to the data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

208 GTI Pictures

The first sensations are completely visual and evident as soon as the GTi Concept is revealed. Instantly characterised by being the performance icon of the 208, it features chequered-flag motifs that embellish the metal mesh of the grille, and the lower bar proudly affirms its origin by displaying the French ‘Le Tricolour’ flag or the Union Jack when in the UK.

Peugeot 208 GTi revealed

Peugeot is revealing not one, but two concept cars in Geneva, which present two expressions of the Marque’s upmarket trend in the supermini segment. These concept cars interpret the generation leap already defined by the 208 but in different contexts. The XY Concept is intended for city dwellers who love distinction and refinement, whereas the […]

(I) Aviation Safety :

Aviation safety in India is nothing but what is written in the books and documentation, but nothing exists in reality. The Regulator, DGCA is terminally ill. It is manned by inadequate staff and from the news paper reports, 200 of its 350 strong workforce are under investigation for seeking undue favours. Air India and Airports Authority of India are owned by the Government of India and is reeling under severe corruption. The Regulator is unable to enforce its own rules against these government entities and as a result does not wield much power with the private sector airlines. In short, Aviation Safety in India is virtually non-existent other than in documentation.

The 812 Foundation put in 30 months of intense research and digging up of documentation from the Government under the Right to Information Act, 2005. 812 Foundation filed a PIL  in the Supreme Court of India in 2013, but unfortunately the Judges stated that they do not have expertise in dealing with the subject and directed the Writ Petition to be converted into a representation to the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

The 812 Foundation has filed a review petition  in the Supreme Court against its order on the grounds of violation of Principles of Natural Justice. How can a person be allowed to be a Judge in its own cause? The matter is pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India

On the 99th Birthday of the great Justice V.R.Krishna Iyer, his nephew and Aviation Safety Activist, Capt.Mohan Ranganathan wrote an article on the “Role of Indian Judiciary in Aviation Safety”  in which he says “Only a strong and punitive judicial message will save lives. Else, the blood of 158 souls that departed in Mangalore on the fateful day in May 2010, will remain etched on judges’ hands”.

(ii) Accountability for the crash of IX812

The 812 collecting evidence approached the investigating officer to inform him of the new facts and findings. The Investigating Officer showed no interest and the Foundation wrote (link it to the letter to IO pdf File)(missing) to the Investigating officer on 7 February 2012 and copied it to the Commissioner of Police. On 6th March 2012, the 812 Foundation filed a private complaint against 15 accused and it took almost one year for the 812 Foundation to convince the Magistrate about the prima facie case against each of the accused and on 19th February 2013, the Magistrate took cognizance of an offence under Sec.304 A of the Indian Penal Code. Though, 812 Foundation pressed for more serious offences, 812 Foundation decided to follow the proper Judicial Process. However, Air India rushed to the High Court of Karnataka and unfortunately the High Court stayed the entire trial and that too without giving notice to 812 Foundation. The 812 Foundation strongly feels that the people of Mangalore were let down by the High Court before the accident and after the accident and has filed strong replies against the criminal petition of Air India and Airports Authority of India

(iii) Corruption

The DGCA, Air India and Airports Authority of India are reeling under severe allegations of corruption of which several are under investigation by the CBI & CVC. 812 Foundation is severely hard pressed for resources, but are looking into various issues related to DGCA, AAI and Air India.

The President of 812 Foundation, Mr.Yeshwanth Shenoy recently filed a PIL in the High Court of Bombay (link it to the Mumbai PIL pdf File)(missing) seeking CBI investigation into the financial affairs of Air India. The PIL Rules of the High Court of Bombay required several procedural compliances and crucial time would have been lost. It is under those circumstances that Mr.Yeshwanth Shenoy decided to file the matter in his personal name. In the PIL, Mr.Shenoy has specifically brought the attention of the court to the violation of Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970 by Air India to facilitate a scam revolving around expat (foreign) Pilots. The release of the book, ‘the Descent of Air India’ by former employee of Air India Mr.Jitendra Bhargava points to several criminality in the dealings of Air India and this aspects are needed to be investigated particularly when even the then Minister for Civil Aviation are named in the irregularities.

(iv) Compensation

When the cost of Damages (compensation) is less than the cost of prevention, what is the incentive to prevent? This is the central theme of a writ petition filed in the name of Ms.Triveni (the treasurer of 812 Foundation). The law relating to compensation is so poorly developed in India that it is impossible to prevent accidents. One of the cheapest commodities in the ever inflatory Indian market continues to be Human Life.

Another member of the Victim’s family fought in the Kerala High Court and a single Judge interpreted (link it to the 2011(3)KHC 199 pdf File)that every passenger is entitled to 100,000 SDR without any proof of damages under the Montreal Convention as adopted by the Carriage by Air Act, 1972. The President of 812 Foundation wrote an article (link it to the 2011 KHC article pdf File)(link it to: 2011 (3) KHC _Part_7 Article) appreciating the judgment of the single judge. Unfortunately, Air India appealed against the decision and a Division Bench overturned (link it to the KHC 761 pdf File) the decision of the Single Judge. The President of 812 Foundation wrote an article (link it to the AI Part II pdf File)(link to: Air India Part 2) criticizing the judgment of the Division Bench.

Follow Up-Outsourcing for Impact and VC Money

I was chewing on some numbers over the weekend that tie together my post on Friday about the use of VC funds and the post of a few weeks ago about outsourcing for financial impact.

Let’s say we have a company that just raised $3 million and plans on hiring 30 people over the next 2 years. Assuming an $80K average comp per hire, they are going to add $2.4 million to the payroll. According to Staffing.org’s 2007 survey, the average company spends 14.9% of the compensation hired on recruiting expenses—internal recruiters, contract recruiters, applicant tracking systems, job board postings, research, occasional headhunter usage, etc.

Based on this estimate, this company will spend about $360,000 to hire these 30 people. If the company were to outsource the recruiting function (or just manage it well themselves), they could cut this down to 7% to 8% of compensation and save $180,000.

The savings represent 6% of the original invested amount — a pretty staggering number that should raise some eyebrows at both VCs and their portfolio companies.

ACF Culinary Team USA Wins Global Hot-Food Title
United States scores highest in hot food at "Culinary Olympics"

The United States took top honors in restaurant-style cooking at the 21st International Culinary Exhibition, or "Culinary Olympics," in Erfurt, Germany, on Oct. 20. As a result, our nation, represented by ACF Culinary Team USA 2004, is now the hot-food champion of the world. The United States will keep that title for the next four years.

Known by its German name, Olympiade der Köche, the quadrennial "Culinary Olympics" was first held in 1896 and remains the most prestigious cooking competition on the globe. This year's event, organized by the German Chefs Association and held in what used to be East Germany, hosted chefs from 38 nations cooking in two categories: hot (restaurant style) cooking and cold (buffet style) display. The American Culinary Federation has fielded the U.S. culinary team since the 1950s.

Thirty-two of the 38 nations participating in this year's "Culinary Olympics" competed in the hot-food category during four days of intense cooking. Each nation had four hours to prepare and serve 110 portions each of three courses, which were tasted and judged by World Association of Cooks Societies-approved judges from every continent. Ultimately, only four countries received gold medals for their hot-food efforts: Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.

Culinary Team USA prepared a first course dubbed "American Crab Trilogy," featuring she-crab bisque, crab terrine and crispy crab leg, followed by a seasonal venison plate with potato dumpling, wild mushrooms and cabbage. The menu finished with a dessert celebrating the flavors of autumn: pumpkin, apple, vanilla, hazelnut, caramel and cranberry.

U.S.-certified master chefs-of which there are only 59-make up most of Culinary Team USA, led by captain Edward G. Leonard, executive chef of Westchester Country Club, Rye, N.Y. Other certified master chefs on the team are Joachim Buchner, executive chef of Chevy Chase Club, Chevy Chase, Md.; Daniel Scannell, executive chef of Oak Hill Country Club, Rochester, N.Y.; and Russell Scott, lecturing instructor in culinary arts at The Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, N.Y. Richard Rosendale, CC, sous chef at The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., and Patricia Nash, a pastry cook at Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, Ocean City, N.J., round out the six-chef team.

Combining its hot-food gold medal and score with scoring in cold-buffet exhibition, the United States, thanks to ACF Culinary Team USA 2004, is ranked third worldwide in overall culinary expertise after Sweden and Switzerland, respectively.

Leonard, because of his success managing ACF Culinary Team USA 2004, was given unanimous confidence in July by ACF's foundation to captain the 2008 U.S. culinary team.

Sponsors of ACF Culinary Team USA 2004 are Unilever Foodsolutions, Chef Revival, Fortessa, Kraft Foodservice, Tyson Foods, Westchester Country Club, Chef's Hat and Club Managers Association of America.
