Plugin has been upgraded significantly since v2. Please read docs thoroughly.

Please support my work and continued development with your donation.

Cross-platform geolocation for Cordova / PhoneGap with battery-saving "circular region monitoring" and "stop detection".

This plugin can be used for geolocation when the app is running in the foreground or background. It is more battery and data efficient than html5 geolocation or cordova-geolocation plugin. It can be used side by side with other geolocation providers (eg. html5 navigator.geolocation).

You can choose from two location location providers:

See Which provider should I use? for more information about providers.

Example Application

Checkout repository cordova-plugin-background-geolocation-example.

Submitting issues

All new issues should follow instructions in A properly filled issue report will significantly reduce number of follow up questions and decrease issue resolving time. Most issues cannot be resolved without debug logs. Please try to isolate debug lines related to your issue. Instructions for how to prepare debug logs can be found in section Debugging. If you're reporting an app crash, debug logs might not contain all the necessary information about the cause of the crash. In that case, also provide relevant parts of output of adb logcat command.

Installing the plugin

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation

You may also want to change default iOS permission prompts and set specific google play version and android support library version for compatibility with other plugins.

Note: Always consult documentation of other plugins to figure out compatible versions.

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation \
  --variable ALWAYS_USAGE_DESCRIPTION="App requires ..." \
  --variable MOTION_USAGE_DESCRIPTION="App requires motion detection"

Or in config.xml:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation">
  <variable name="GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION" value="11+" />
  <variable name="ANDROID_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION" value="23+" />
  <variable name="ALWAYS_USAGE_DESCRIPTION" value="App requires background tracking enabled" />
  <variable name="MOTION_USAGE_DESCRIPTION" value="App requires motion detection" />

Note: To apply changes, you must remove and reinstall plugin.

Registering plugin for Adobe® PhoneGap™ Build

This plugin should work with Adobe® PhoneGap™ Build without any modification. To register plugin add following line into your config.xml:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation"/>

Note: If you're using hydration, you have to download and reinstall your app with every new version of the plugin, as plugins are not updated.

Plugin version Cordova CLI Cordova Platform Android Cordova Platform iOS
<2.3.0 6.4.0 6.3.0 4.4.0
>=2.3.0 7.1.0 6.3.0 4.4.0

Please note that as of Cordova Android 6.0.0 icons are by default in mipmap/ directory not drawable/ directory, so this plugin will have a build issue on < 6.0.0 Cordova builds, you will need to update Authenticator.xml to drawable directory from mipmap directory to work on older versions.

You will need to ensure that you have installed the following items through the Android SDK Manager:

Name Version
Android SDK Tools 26.0.2
Android SDK Platform-tools 26.0.2
Android SDK Build-tools 26.0.2
Android Support Repository 47
Android Support Library 26.1.0
Google Play Services 11.8.0
Google Repository 58

Android is no longer supporting downloading support libraries through the SDK Manager. The support libraries are now available through Google's Maven repository.

Platform: iOS, Android

Start background geolocation.

Platform: iOS, Android

Stop background geolocation.

getCurrentLocation(success, fail, options)

Platform: iOS, Android

One time location check to get current location of the device.

Option parameter Type Description
timeout Number Maximum time in milliseconds device will wait for location
maximumAge Number Maximum age in milliseconds of a possible cached location that is acceptable to return
enableHighAccuracy Boolean if true and if the device is able to provide a more accurate position, it will do so
Success callback parameter Type Description
location Object location object (@see Location event)
Error callback parameter Type Description
code Number Reason of an error occurring when using the geolocating device
message String Message describing the details of the error

Error codes:

Value Associated constant Description
1 PERMISSION_DENIED Request failed due missing permissions
2 LOCATION_UNAVAILABLE Internal source of location returned an internal error
3 TIMEOUT Timeout defined by `option.timeout was exceeded

isLocationEnabled(success, fail)

Deprecated: This method is deprecated and will be removed in next major version. Use checkStatus as replacement.

Platform: iOS, Android

One time check for status of location services. In case of error, fail callback will be executed.

Success callback parameter Type Description
enabled Boolean true/false (true when location services are enabled)

checkStatus(success, fail)

Check status of the service

Success callback parameter Type Description
isRunning Boolean true/false (true if service is running)
locationServicesEnabled Boolean true/false (true if location services are enabled)
authorization Number authorization status

Authorization statuses:

  • AUTHORIZED - authorization to run in background and foreground
  • AUTHORIZED_FOREGROUND iOS only authorization to run in foreground only

Note: In the Android concept of authorization, these represent application permissions.

Platform: Android >= 6, iOS >= 8.0

Show app settings to allow change of app location permissions.

Platform: Android

Show system settings to allow configuration of current location sources.

getLocations(success, fail)

Platform: iOS, Android

Method will return all stored locations. This method is useful for initial rendering of user location on a map just after application launch.

Success callback parameter Type Description
locations Array collection of stored locations
  function (locations) {

getValidLocations(success, fail)

Platform: iOS, Android

Method will return locations which have not yet been posted to server.

Success callback parameter Type Description
locations Array collection of stored locations

deleteLocation(locationId, success, fail)

Platform: iOS, Android

Delete location with locationId.

deleteAllLocations(success, fail)

Note: You don't need to delete all locations. The plugin manages the number of stored locations automatically and the total count never exceeds the number as defined by option.maxLocations.

Platform: iOS, Android

Delete all stored locations.

Note: Locations are not actually deleted from database to avoid gaps in locationId numbering. Instead locations are marked as deleted. Locations marked as deleted will not appear in output of BackgroundGeolocation.getValidLocations.

switchMode(modeId, success, fail)

Platform: iOS

Normally the plugin will handle switching between BACKGROUND and FOREGROUND mode itself. Calling switchMode you can override plugin behavior and force it to switch into other mode.

In FOREGROUND mode the plugin uses iOS local manager to receive locations and behavior is affected by option.desiredAccuracy and option.distanceFilter.

In BACKGROUND mode plugin uses significant changes and region monitoring to receive locations and uses option.stationaryRadius only.

// switch to FOREGROUND mode

// switch to BACKGROUND mode

forceSync(success, fail)

Platform: Android, iOS

Force sync of pending locations. Option syncThreshold will be ignored and all pending locations will be immediately posted to syncUrl in single batch.

getLogEntries(limit, fromId, minLevel, success, fail)

Platform: Android, iOS

Return all logged events. Useful for plugin debugging.

Parameter Type Description
limit Number limits number of returned entries
fromId Number return entries after fromId. Useful if you plan to implement infinite log scrolling*
minLevel String return log entries above level. Available levels: ["TRACE", "DEBUG", "INFO", "WARN", "ERROR]
success Function callback function which will be called with log entries

*Example of infinite log scrolling

Format of log entry:

Parameter Type Description
id Number id of log entry as stored in db
timestamp Number timestamp in milliseconds since beginning of UNIX epoch
level String log level
message String log message
stackTrace String recorded stacktrace (Android only, on iOS part of message)

Unregister all event listeners for given event

Name Callback param Platform Provider* Description
location Location all all on location update
stationary Location all DIS,ACT on device entered stationary mode
activity Activity Android ACT on activity detection
error { code, message } all all on plugin error
authorization status all all on user toggle location service
start all all geolocation has been started
stop all all geolocation has been stopped
foreground Android all app entered foreground state (visible)
background Android all app entered background state
abort_requested all all server responded with "285 Updates Not Required"

Location event

Location parameter Type Description
id Number ID of location as stored in DB (or null)
provider String gps, network, passive or fused
locationProvider Number location provider
time Number UTC time of this fix, in milliseconds since January 1, 1970.
latitude Number Latitude, in degrees.
longitude Number Longitude, in degrees.
accuracy Number Estimated accuracy of this location, in meters.
speed Number Speed if it is available, in meters/second over ground.
altitude Number Altitude if available, in meters above the WGS 84 reference ellipsoid.
bearing Number Bearing, in degrees.
isFromMockProvider Boolean (android only) True if location was recorded by mock provider
mockLocationsEnabled Boolean (android only) True if device has mock locations enabled

Locations parameters isFromMockProvider and mockLocationsEnabled are not posted to url or syncUrl by default. Both can be requested via option postTemplate.

Note: Do not use location id as unique key in your database as ids will be reused when option.maxLocations is reached.

Activity event

Activity parameter Type Description
confidence Number Percentage indicating the likelihood user is performing this activity.

Event listeners can registered with:

const eventSubscription = BackgroundGeolocation.on('event', callbackFn);

And unregistered:

Note: Components should unregister all event listeners in componentWillUnmount method, individually, or with removeAllListeners

HTTP locations posting

All locations updates are recorded in the local db at all times. When the App is in foreground or background, in addition to storing location in local db, the location callback function is triggered. The number of locations stored in db is limited by option.maxLocations and never exceeds this number. Instead, old locations are replaced by new ones.

When option.url is defined, each location is also immediately posted to url defined by option.url. If the post is successful, the location is marked as deleted in local db.

When option.syncUrl is defined, all locations that fail to post locations will be coalesced and sent in some time later in a one single batch. Batch sync takes place only when the number of failed-to-post locations reaches option.syncTreshold. Locations are sent only in single batch, when the number of locations reaches option.syncTreshold. (No individual locations will be sent)

The request body of posted locations is always an array, even when only one location is sent.

Warning: option.maxLocations has to be larger than option.syncThreshold. It's recommended to be 2x larger. In any other case the location syncing might not work properly.

Custom post template

With option.postTemplate it is possible to specify which location properties should be posted to option.url or option.syncUrl. This can be useful to reduce the number of bytes sent "over the wire".

All wanted location properties have to be prefixed with @. For all available properties check Location event.

Two forms are supported:

  postTemplate: {
    lat: '@latitude',
    lon: '@longitude',
    foo: 'bar' // you can also add your own properties

  postTemplate: ['@latitude', '@longitude', 'foo', 'bar']

Note: Keep in mind that all locations (even a single one) will be sent as an array of object(s), when postTemplate is jsonObject and array of array(s) for jsonArray!

Android Headless Task (Experimental)

A special task that gets executed when the app is terminated, but the plugin was configured to continue running in the background (option stopOnTerminate: false). In this scenario the Activity was killed by the system and all registered event listeners will not be triggered until the app is relaunched.

Note: Prefer configuration options url and syncUrl over headless task. Use it sparingly!

Task event

Parameter Type Description String Name of the event [ "location", "stationary", "activity" ]
event.params Object Event parameters. @see Events

Keep in mind that the callback function lives in an isolated scope. Variables from a higher scope cannot be referenced!

Following example requires CORS enabled backend server.

BackgroundGeolocation.headlessTask(function(event) {
    if ( === 'location' || === 'stationary') {
        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();'POST', '');
        xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');

    return 'Processing event: ' +; // will be logged

Example of backend server

Background-geolocation-server is a backend server written in nodejs with CORS - Cross-Origin Resource Sharing support. There are instructions how to run it and simulate locations on Android, iOS Simulator and Genymotion.

On iOS the plugin will execute your registered .on('location', callbackFn) callback function. You may manually POST the received Geolocation to your server using standard XHR. However for long running tasks, you need to wrap your code in startTask - endTask block.

stationaryRadius (apply only for DISTANCE_FILTER_PROVIDER)

The plugin uses iOS Significant Changes API, and starts triggering callbackFn only when a cell-tower switch is detected (i.e. the device exits stationary radius). The function switchMode is provided to force the plugin to enter "BACKGROUND" stationary or "FOREGROUND" mode.

Plugin cannot detect the exact moment the device moves out of the stationary-radius. In normal conditions, it can take as much as 3 city-blocks to 1/2 km before stationary-region exit is detected.

On Android devices it is recommended to have a notification in the drawer (option startForeground:true). This gives plugin location service higher priority, decreasing probability of OS killing it. Check wiki for explanation.

Custom ROMs

Plugin should work with custom ROMS at least DISTANCE_FILTER_PROVIDER. But ACTIVITY_PROVIDER provider depends on Google Play Services. Usually ROMs don't include Google Play Services libraries. Strange bugs may occur, like no GPS locations (only from network and passive) and other. When posting issue report, please mention that you're using custom ROM.

Note: Following section was kindly copied from phonegap-plugin-push. Visit link for resolving issue with facebook plugin.

If you have an issue compiling the app and you're getting an error similar to this ( Multiple dex files define):

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/annotation/AnimRes;

Then at least one other plugin you have installed is using an outdated way to declare dependencies such as android-support or play-services-gcm. This causes gradle to fail, and you'll need to identify which plugin is causing it and request an update to the plugin author, so that it uses the proper way to declare dependencies for cordova. See this for the reference on the cordova plugin specification, it'll be usefull to mention it when creating an issue or requesting that plugin to be updated.

Common plugins to suffer from this outdated dependency management are plugins related to facebook, google+, notifications, crosswalk and google maps.

Android Permissions

Android 6.0 "Marshmallow" introduced a new permissions model where the user can turn on and off permissions as necessary. When user disallow location access permissions, error configure callback will be called with error code: 2.

Notification icons

Note: Only available for API Level >=21.

To use custom notification icons, you need to put icons into res/drawable directory of your app. You can automate the process as part of after_platform_add hook configured via config.xml. Check config.xml and scripts/res_android.js of example app for reference.

If you only want a single large icon, set notificationIconLarge to null and include your icon's filename in the notificationIconSmall parameter.

With Adobe® PhoneGap™ Build icons must be placed into locales/android/drawable dir at the root of your project. For more information go to how-to-add-native-image-with-phonegap-build.

Intel XDK

Plugin will not work in XDK emulator ('Unimplemented API Emulation: BackgroundGeolocation.start' in emulator). But will work on real device.

There is nice cordova plugin cordova-plugin-geofence, which does exactly that. Let's keep this plugin lightweight as much as possible.

SpaceX sets first Falcon Heavy launch for Feb. 6

SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk said Jan. 27 that the company will attempt a first launch of its Falcon Heavy rocket on Feb. 6.
The announcement came three days after the rocket completed a static-fire test at Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center, a final test milestone before the launch itself. Musk said the test was “good” shortly after the test, but neither he nor the company provided additional details.

Ariane 5 Narrowly Avoids Disaster in First Launch of 2018

An Ariane 5 rocket managed to orbit two communications satellites and a NASA scientific payload on Jan. 25, despite an anomaly that threatened to tarnish Arianespace’s pristine launch record. Late Thursday evening, Arianespace was unable to acquire the rocket’s telemetry after it slipped under the horizon, but Arianespace Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Stephane Israel later confirmed that SES and YahSat have both made contact with their respective satellites.

Potential end of the ISS raises concerns, presents opportunities

The White House’s next budget request for NASA will likely include plans to end the agency’s operations of the International Space Station by the mid-2020s, a plan that could create new opportunities for commercial space ventures but has already generated opposition from one key senator.
A draft budget document for the agency’s fiscal year 2019 budget proposal calls for “ending direct federal government support of the ISS by 2025” as one of several items intended to implement Space Policy Directive 1, the executive order signed by President Trump Dec. 11 directing NASA to return humans to the moon. The document, rumors about which had been circulating in the space industry in recent days, was first reported by The Verge Jan. 24.

Reports of National 5G Network Bring Uncertainty to the Industry

The U.S. government is considering building a national 5G network to counter the risks of China interfering on emerging technology such as, self-driving cars, IOT, or spying on phone calls. However, it is unclear of how that network would be built and paid for, as well as how it would affect current telecom operators’ plans and satellite spectrum utilization.

Solar panel suppliers adjust to GEO satellite slowdown

Suppliers of solar panels and related equipment for the space industry are pivoting to serve customers planning satellites for low and medium Earth orbits as the slow down in geostationary satellite orders persists.
Commercial satellite operators ordered just seven geostationary telecommunications satellites in 2017 — well below the 20 to 25 orders considered normal in years past. Orders for 2016 and 2015 topped out in the teens (still below average, but better than last year).

Is the End Near for the Satellite Dish?

During its recent financial results reporting, U.K. broadcaster and Internet Service Provider (ISP) Skyannounced it will launch Sky over fiber in Italy and the company’s first all-IP service in Austria, “both without the need for a satellite dish,” according to Jeremy Darroch, group chief executive at Sky.
The service will include all Sky channels and on-demand content streamed over IP. The question remains: will other broadcasters follow this step? Will this mean the end of the satellite dish?

Google Lunar X Prize to end without winner

The foundation running the Google Lunar X Prize announced Jan. 23 that the $20 million grand prize for a commercial lunar lander will expire at the end of March without a winner.
The X Prize Foundation said none of its five finalist teams would be able to launch a mission before the current deadline of March 31. That deadline has been extended several times in the past, but foundation officials previously said there would be no further extensions of the competition.
“This literal ‘moonshot’ is hard, and while we did expect a winner by now, due to the difficulties of fundraising, technical and regulatory challenges, the grand prize of the $30M Google Lunar XPRIZE will go unclaimed,” said a statement by Peter Diamadis, founder and executive chairman of the X Prize Founation, and Marcus Shingles, chief executive of the foundation. The $30 million refers to both the grand prize as well as a $5 million second prize and several ancillary prizes.

Ariane 6 Gets Closer to Flight with Vulcain Engine Test Firing

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) has successfully tested the Vulcain 2.1 engine at its P5 test facility in Lampoldshausen, Germany. The Vulcain 2.1 will power the main stage of the Ariane 6 launcher, which will fly for the first time in 2020.
This is a version of the Ariane 5 Vulcain 2 engine specially adapted for the Ariane 6 main stage to simplify production and to lower costs. To reach these objectives the engine integrates technologies such as a gas generator built using 3D printing, a simplified divergent nozzle, and an oxygen heater for tank pressurization. These adaptations contribute to achieving the cost targets set for the Ariane 6 launcher, while retaining the efficiency and reliability demonstrated on Ariane 5, according to ArianeGroup.

SpaceX, Iridium set March 18 launch date for fifth Iridium Next mission

WASHINGTON — SpaceX and mobile satellite services provider Iridium, now halfway through deploying the Iridium Next constellation, are preparing for their fifth mission on March 18 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
The Falcon 9 launch is expected to kick off a “rapid-cadence launch schedule targeting completion of the Iridium manifest by mid-2018,” according to a Jan. 22 Iridium statement.
Iridium CEO Matt Desch told SpaceNews by email that the rapid cadence equates to “an average of about 5 weeks between launches to ensure we complete launch 8 mid-year.”

Government shutdown offers warning of impacts to government and commercial space

The first federal government shutdown in more than four years came to a swift end Jan. 22 but served as a warning of what a future shutdown could do to both government and commercial space efforts.
The Senate reached an agreement Jan. 22 on a modified version of a continuing resolution (CR) that will fund the government through Feb. 8, eight days earlier than the version that failed to win passage in the Senate late Jan. 19, triggering the shutdown. The House then passed the CR and President Trump signed it into law that evening.

How Secure Are In-Flight Connectivity Systems?

The aviation world has come a long way from the days when the extent of connectivity in the cabin revolved around self-contained in-flight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) systems comprising a server, distribution system and seatback displays. Being connected was limited to watching a movie offered by the airline or scanning pre-recorded news broadcasts.
Then came SwiftBroadband service followed by more powerful high-bandwidth satellites and Wi-Fi in the cabin, and with it, a proliferation of passenger smartphones and other devices. It’s not surprising that 81 airlines today offer a full range of IFEC services with the ability for travelers to connect their personal electronic devices (PEDs) to the aircraft’s wireless network.

NASA 2019 budget expected to include lunar exploration program details

Details about how NASA will implement a space policy directive regarding a human return to the moon will be in the agency’s 2019 budget request, scheduled for release as soon as early February.
NASA Acting Administrator Robert Lightfoot, speaking at a Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) civil space forum here Jan. 18, didn’t discuss specifics of those plans, but suggested both international and commercial partnerships would play key roles in NASA’s approach to implementing Space Policy Directive 1. That directive, signed by President Trump Dec. 11, instructed NASA to return humans to the moon “for long-term exploration and utilization” as a step towards later missions to Mars “and other destinations.”

Virgin Orbit to Launch GomSpace Nanosatellites

GomSpace has purchased a launch for several nanosatellites onboard a LauncherOne rocket from the California-based company Virgin Orbit. The flight, which is bound for a low-inclination orbit, is scheduled to occur in early 2019.
GomSpace will use the launch to further build out a constellation of small satellites that will use Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and Automatic Identification System (AIS) signal monitoring to track civilian aircraft and ocean-going vessels. This satellite constellation will provide continuous monitoring between 37 degrees north and 37 degrees south, helping provide global situational awareness for air-traffic controllers and shipping companies, and aiding in the identification and location of wayward or missing planes and ships.

A changing of the guard in NASA’s hunt for exoplanets

Sometime later this year NASA’s Kepler spacecraft, orbiting the sun more than 150 million kilometers from the Earth, will fire its thrusters for the final time. The spacecraft is running out of the hydrazine fuel used by those thrusters to maintain the spacecraft’s orientation. Once the thrusters sputter and shut down, their fuel exhausted, Kepler will no longer be able to control its pointing, and the mission will end.
The project isn’t quite sure exactly when that will happen, since the calculation depends on rates of fuel usage and the challenges of measuring just how much hydrazine is left in the spacecraft’s tanks. “The fuel is expected to last somewhere between the spring and summer of 2018,” said Gary Blackwood, manager of NASA’s Exoplanet Exploration Program, at a Jan. 7 meeting of a NASA exoplanet advisory group. He added that the spacecraft’s manufacturer, Ball Aerospace, “has found very creative ways” to stretch out that remaining fuel.

ULA Launches NRO 47 Payload on Delta 4 Rocket

A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Delta 4 rocket carrying a payload for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) lifted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Jan. 12. Because the mission — designated NROL 47 — is classified, NRO has not released information on what the satellite will be used for, stating only that the mission is in support of national defense.
ULA launched the mission aboard a Delta 4 Medium+ (5, 2) configuration Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) powered by one common booster core (powered by an RS-68A liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen engine) and two solid rocket motors built by Orbital ATK. A single RL10B-2 liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen engine powered the second stage. Aerojet Rocketdynemanufactured both the booster and upper stage engines.

2018 Could Be a Revolutionary Year for Smallsats

Earmarked by SpaceX’s historic relanding of a first stage booster, 2017 was a banner year for the satellite industry in many respects. 2018 could prove to be even more momentous, as the smallsat megaconstellations that have been under development for years finally emerge — along with the dedicated smallsat launch vehicles that will serve them. In an interview with Via Satellite, Northern Sky Research (NSR) analyst Carolyn Belle laid out her expectations for the year ahead, as well as how these new systems could affect the broader satellite industry as they come online.
Overall, 2017 was a “very good year” for smallsat launch rates, Belle said, with the industry orbiting 329 smallsats (between 1 and 500 kg) in total. This is the highest number launched in one year to date, easily outstripping the mere 130 orbited in 2016. While the Indian Space Research Organization’s (ISRO) record-breaking launch of 105 satellites was a bit of an outlier, Belle believes the growing smallsat trend is here to stay.

IOT Critical to Gaining a Competitive Edge in Mining

Businesses in the mining industry are backing the Internet of Things (IOT) to help them retain their market share as competition in the sector intensifies, the quality of seams decreases, and profit margins are put under pressure. According to recent research published by Inmarsat, IOT will play a critical role in helping mining businesses increase automation and improve production efficiency, enabling them to compete with rivals operating in lower cost markets.
Market research specialist Vanson Bourne interviewed respondents from 100 large mining companies across the globe for Inmarsat’s “The Future of IoT in Enterprise” report, and found that 70 percent of mining businesses agreed that IOT would give them a significant edge against their competitors.

Air Force launches new project to update missile-warning ground software

Air Force officials are talking to potential vendors this week about an upcoming project to update the software used to control the military’s missile-warning satellites and to analyze the data beamed from space.
The ground-based systems are the less exciting but nonetheless important piece of the SBIRS space-based infrared surveillance satellites that provide initial warning of a ballistic missile attack on the United States, deployed forces and allies.
The plan is to shift the current ground software architecture — a closed system developed by traditional defense contractors that is not compatible with commercial software from competing vendors — to an open-systems platform that the Air Force would own and update with new technology as it becomes available.

Rocket Lab sets new window for second Electron launch

Rocket Lab announced Jan. 11 it plans to make another attempt to launch its Electron small rocket on its second mission later this month.
Rocket Lab said the nine-day launch window for the mission at its New Zealand launch site will open at 2:30 p.m. Jan. 20 local time (8:30 p.m. Jan. 19 Eastern time). There will be a four-hour window each day, opening at the same time, for the launch.
The company, headquartered in the United States but with launch and other operations in New Zealand, attempted to carry out the launch during a 10-day window in December. However, several attempts were postponed by poor weather. The company came closest to launching Dec. 11, when computers aborted a launch attempt just two seconds before liftoff after sensors detected liquid oxygen temperatures above preset limits in one of the first stage’s nine engines.

SpaceX launches classified payload to kick off busy year

SpaceX successfully launched a classified payload on a Falcon 9 Jan. 7, starting what is planned to be the busiest year yet for the launch provider.
The Falcon 9 lifted off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 8:00 p.m. Eastern, carrying a classified payload known only as “Zuma.” The rocket’s first stage landed at nearby Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral eight minutes after liftoff. SpaceX ended its coverage of the launch at that point, without confirming that the payload reached orbit.
Little is known about the Zuma payload. The launch was procured by Northrop Grumman, who manufactured the spacecraft, and no U.S. government agency has claimed the payload. Airspace notices for the launch suggest the payload will be going into an orbit of an inclination of about 50 degrees, similar to International Space Station missions as well as USA 276, a National Reconnaissance Office satellite launched on a Falcon 9 in May 2017.

2017 Proves Potential of Connected Helicopter for Satellite

The integration of newly available satellite and cellular-based data communications technologies, or “connectivity,” is creating new opportunities to improve helicopter offshore support, search and rescue (SAR), medevac and corporate/VIP operations. While the concept of the connected helicopter is not new (Iridium notes that 15,000 helicopters globally are equipped with products that enable its satellite communications service), operators are now realizing the benefits of speedy satellite and cellular LTE connectivity.
When contemplating a business case for investment in new satellite and cellular communications technologies, operators must seriously consider their mission sets. Is investment in new antennas, satcom configuration modules, onboard network routers and the service that enables the use of speedier data rates on board really worth it? Several operator investments and vendor certification announcements in 2017 have shown that the connected helicopter is a concept with great potential.

Report calls for ISS research transition plan and use of alternative platforms

With utilization of the International Space Station reaching a maximum, and with its long-term future uncertain, a recent report recommends that NASA develop transition plans and make use of alternative platforms, including commercial vehicles, to carry out critical microgravity research.
The midterm assessment of the 2011 decadal survey on life and physical sciences research at NASA, released by a committee of the National Academies Dec. 15, supported efforts by NASA to increase research on the ISS, but warned the agency needed to act soon to develop a transition plan for such research after 2024.

Release Blitz - Lucky Scars by Kerry Heavens

Title: Lucky Scars
Author: Kerry Heavens
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 3, 2018

Not every love story begins with a fiery explosion of lust.

Some are tiny embers of hope that smoulder slowly until the stars align…

I’d been living in a bubble.

It was meant to protect me from the things in life that hurt.

I could live, I could laugh, but at least I didn’t have to love.
Loving was dangerous and I would never do it again.

It was working just fine, until the bubble burst.
It let in danger.
It let in light.
It let in…him.

Unknowingly I’d been living in the dark, feeling my way.
He filled my world with starlight.
He showed me how to move on to the next level.
He made me feel again.

I thought the wounds from the past would never fully heal,
But perhaps they only heal when the time is right.

Sometimes you just have to thank your lucky scars.

With trembling fingers, I tapped at my phone screen, sobbing because I connected the call and then cut it off in my haste. I couldn’t handle technology; I just needed him. I was about to throw in the towel and just sit on the curb and cry when it rang. His stupid face appeared on the screen, and my heart leapt. He knew. He knew I needed him.
Choking at the urgency to hear his voice, I tried again to get my fingers to cooperate, and, finally, they did.
“Hello?” There was pleading in my tone. “Ziggy?
There was a short stretch of silence, and I thought maybe I’d fucked up the call again when suddenly he spoke. “Bea? What’s wrong?”
“Zig—” A sob cut me off.
“Bea, where are you? What’s going on?”
“I need you,” I whispered.
“Tell me where?” he said with a steady determination that filled me with exactly the comfort I needed right then. He was coming. It was going to be ok. I looked up helplessly at my surroundings for a road name I could tell him.
“Um,” I faltered. “I don’t know, I—” Fresh tears ran down my face, and I wiped at them with the back of my hand, only then noticing the blood. “Oh God,” I gasped.
“Bea, please. You’re scaring me. Are you hurt?”
“No,” I assured him quickly. “I just…” I didn’t even know where to start.
“I need to know where you are. Calm down. I’m here. Take a deep breath and try to tell me where I need to go to find you. I’m coming. Okay? Now just tell me where.”
I turned in place, looking for something I knew. I walked these streets every day, and they’d never felt so alien to me. He was the only thing that felt safe right then, but guilt swept over me, and I tried to pull myself together. I must have been freaking him out, and that wasn’t fair. Nothing around me seemed familiar, even though I knew it was; I was so disorientated. I needed to do what he told me and take a breath.
He was coming to get me.
It was ok.
“Dean Street,” I told him as soon as I laid eyes on the street sign, relieved to be tuning back in but feeling so stupid that I was so close to home and couldn’t even focus enough to realise it. “At the Shaftsbury Avenue end, on the corner.”
“I’m coming. Please just tell me you’re okay,” he said desperately into the phone.

Peanut brittle made with Jaggery – Jugu Paak

Jambo! Habari gani? Jugu paak anyone?

I grew up in East Africa where Peanuts are called Njugu (pronounced Jugu). Chocolates were a rare treat when we were young so whenever we felt like a sweet treat, my sister would offer to make Jugu paak which is a bit like peanut brittle but instead of using sugar and peanuts we used to use Jaggery and peanuts so it tasted much nicer without being too brittle.

2 cups of peanuts (jugu)
1¼ cup jaggery (available in the World food section of larger Supermarkets)
2 tbls melted butter
1 tsp Olive oil for greasing the plate

1. Grease and prepare a  tray ready to pour your Jugu pak into.

2.  Roast the peanuts.  The best way is to put them in microwave proof dish and cook them  for 2-3 minutes.

3.  Once cool, rub them with your hands and remove the husk.  Try to resist eating them at this stage if you wish to taste the jugu paak.

Jugu park1

 4.    If your jaggery is in a block form, try and slice it into smaller chunks.     Add the melted butter to the jaggery and heat this in the microwave for 2 minutes, stir and cook again for 2 minutes until all the jaggery is melted.  Stir and add the roasted peanuts to the hot jaggery and mix.   You can also add cashew and almonds to your jugu paak if you like.

5.  It starts to look and smell amazing now.  Transfer it to the greased tray and spread it evenly using the back of your spoon.  I garnished the peanut brittle with  small chunks of sugar candy to give it a sweet crunch.

6.  Make the slices whist the Peanut brittle/jugu paak is hot.

Collages27.  Once cool, you can save the peanut brittle in an air tight container to enjoy when ever you fancy a sweet.

Why You Need a Gravatar If You Want to Be Recognized Online

gravatars and wordpressThe word “gravatar” may sound a bit foreign to some, but the truth is that you see gravatars practically every time you go online. It’s that little photo on your website! In fact, getting your own gravatar and using it to represent either yourself or your business can be key to your personal brand. It’s closest cousin would be your avatar.

What is a gravatar?

The term, “gravatar,” is actually used to refer to both a service and the images they provide. It is these images that will identify you and help you stand out in the vast world of the Internet. The Gravatar Internet service provides users who register accounts with unique avatars (the name “Gravatar” refers to “Globally Recognized Avatar”) that become attached to their online blogging profiles— most notably WordPress. So, every time that user makes a comment online, their gravatar shows up next to it instead of the default avatar that may be provided by that website or blog.

Like this…

wordpress gravatar

Building online presence

Essentially, the whole idea behind having a gravatar is building online presence. This is why it is so important for companies and any individuals who want to become known and recognized. It’s basically a way of branding your social media use. For instance, many successful bloggers use images of themselves (or if their blog has a logo, that can be used as a substitute) as their gravatars to build up recognition whenever they make comments on other blogs, web forums, or even relevant news articles.

Every time you use the email address associated with that gravatar, your brand will show. So each time I use my corporate email, the same I use when I leave comments on another blog or subscribe to an online forum, my photo shows.

wordpress gravatar comment

How to get a gravatar

At this point you may be wondering how you can go about getting a gravatar, and fortunately the process is actually quite simple:

  1. Go to Gravatar.com
  2. Register for a free account by clicking on the “Create Your Own Gravatar” button on the homepage (if you already have a WordPress account, you can use that to sign up)
  3. After receiving a confirmation email, you’ll have to upload the image you want used as your gravatar. For legal purposes, just make sure it is an image that is either copyright and royalty free, or one that you own yourself
  4. Adjust your image and/or crop it so it fits in the provided box
  5. Select an appropriate rating for your gravatar, from “rated G” through “rated X”. The higher it is rated, the more websites it may be restricted from.
  6. Use your gravatar! Whenever you go to a website where gravatars are an option, you’ll be able to click “use gravatar” and start building your online presence.

How to make gravatars available on your website

If you already own a website or blog, letting gravatars show up in your comments section is a great way to network and build your own presence among Internet users. In order to allow gravatars to show up on your own website, you’ll need a plugin. The good news is that you don’t even need to register for an account to do this. Check out the “Developer Resources” section of the Gravatar website (gravatar.com/site/implement/) to view the available plugins and different implementation options.

Breaking: $2.1bn Loan Approved By World Bank For Seven Projects In Nigeria

The World Bank has announced the approval of $2.1bn loan for seven projects to be executed in Nigeria.

A statement issued in Abuja on Thursday said the loans were approved in Washington on Wednesday and are for seven projects to support Nigeria’s investment in nutrition, access to electricity, states’ fiscal transparency, polio eradication, women’s economic empowerment, public finance and national statistics and reducing vulnerability to soil erosion.

Jim Yong Kim

World Bank Country Director for Nigeria, Rachid Benmessaoud, was quoted to have said, “The Federal Government of Nigeria’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan identifies human capital investment, restoring growth, and building a competitive economy as its key pillars.

The projects approved by the International Development Association, the bank’s low-interest arm, are expected to support Nigeria’s economic growth plan.

Growth rates in Nigeria have bounced back since the third quarter of 2016, when a recession, its first in 25 years, bottomed out. Growth returned largely due to higher oil prices, with the country relying on crude sales for much of its revenue.

However, growth slowed again in the first quarter of 2018, as the country’s non-oil sector struggled.

The government expects growth to rise to a pre-recession level of 7 percent by 2020.

The World Bank said more than half of the loans would be used to fund power and climate change projects and boost fiscal transparency. It also approved a $7 million grant for nutrition.

Nigeria privatised most of its power sector in 2013 but retained control of its dilapidated monopoly transmission grid, often blamed for hobbling growth.

The country intends to raise $2.8 billion of debt offshore to help part-finance its 2018 budget and plans to explore all options to lower costs, the debt office head told Reuters.

The debt office said it could tap capital markets or concessionary loans from the World Bank after the 2018 budget had been approved.

Cozy and rustic restaurant with gluten free in Rio de Janeiro,

Reviewer: from Rio de Janeiro, RJ - See all reviews by Carioca

5.0 Palms
5.0 Palms
Pomar Orgânico has a cozy rustic atmosphere near Barra da Tijuca beach and streches between a golf course (Itanhangá Golf Club) and the tropical forest on its backside. The restaurant is health-oriented and serves organic vegetarian food totally gluten free and mostly lactose free. One of its owners is Chef Andrea Henrique who is always present to make sure everything is alright. They are open everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner except on Mondays. One can order salads, omelettes, quinoa hamburgers, various pastas and wonderful desserts. Wine, juices and gluten free beer are available. As a starter, one of the recommendations is a mix of sweet potato and manioc chips (made in coconut oil) with macadamia butter and apricot jam. Their breakfast combo named "pomar orgânico" is loaded with energy: gluten free bread, gluten free granola, a cake, fruits (avocado cream and papaya topped with chia seeds), jam, ghee butter, honey, scrambled eggs, orange juice, almond milk and coffee. It's something so special and it sure will keep you satisfied for the whole day! Before leaving, you can also go shopping for organic items, such as fruits and vegetables and even their own freshly baked delicious gluten free bread as they have a mini market just inside the restaurant.

Be careful about this game. The Steam version doesn't have offline co-op, and none of them have online. Capcom kind of promised both but since when have they lived up to promises? =/

Thimbleberries, Photo By Bud Logan

Slipping easily off into your hand when ripe, this ruby red berry is aptly named for its pronounced cup shape. “This is the best tasting and least appreciated berry going.

Thimbleberries are a little bit sour, but not too much, which gives them a bit of a kick.

The plant sports large white flowers and maple like fuzzy leaves, thimbleberry leaves can be used as makeshift containers to collect the berries in, but because the berries do not travel well, they are also best enjoyed at the source.

They ripen from late May to early August, with peak picking in July. These berries grow on all of the south coast.

The Goblin Grinders of Varisia

Tracking Tem

Late afternoon 29, Gozeran Now that Gabby and Tem have upped the ante by kidnapping Jarra, it may be time to visit him at home. He lives on the north rich part of town. Sunash will send Muginn as a mesenger to Jasper Skeet is going to do an augury to try to find Jarra Tell the mayor that we’ve found fixed books, and evidence of norgorber worship from gabby and tem. The mayor is interested in the ciphered books, he’ll help with funds to decipher them. The mayor didn’t hang out with gabby. He spent time with tem. he can give us the places tem liked to go. a tavern in the north end of town. back at the inn, in a private room. the innkeeper lets tiffreya in pardon the intrusion, i have something to show you, shows a box to sunash. it’s a dagger, do you have the approipriate note to go with it? she knows where gabby is, holed up in tem’s basement. she teleports off to deliver the message, and knife. Tiff teleports back after 10 or so minutes, it sounded like she would decide soon, and not to take the easy way. The innkeeper brings food, and just as we’re setting down to eat, a quasit pops in, on the middle of the table. “Not here to fight! I have a delivery from the master and mistress” sets down a bag, and teleports out. nothing on the outside of the sack. no traps or posion there’s 2 boxes, one was the dagger box. the other is walnut, nice work, hinges and latch are platinum. no traps on the boxes. in the box, a rolled parchment, and a finger with a ring on it. Pait recongizes it, and it’s really fresh. It’s Jarra’s Sunash is going to send the finger to Desna’s temple, with instuctions to help the woman this belongs to. Gelid uses blood bio on the finger, the spell fails, so she was alive when it was cut off. The letter is from Gabby, and it’s sealed with a personal signet, that includes the symbol of Norgorber. Skeet will use the finger to aid an augury to see where Jarra is in relationship to tem’s house. She is not in his house, she’s to the northwest. she seems to be outside of city limits. Sunash will keep the finger in the gentle repose bag, so we can use it to find her later. The Asmodeus dagger is still in the other box.Sunash’s letter is gone. Gabby’s letter: Norgorber tells me it’s not time to die yet, come and kill me if you want to. PS. Jarra says hi" another knock on the door, a few minutes later. Tiffreya and Sabrina. Sabrina was lucky, and got her errands done early. Which is good, since there are numerous watchers following her, and around the inn. One was a rouge, who was following her. but not particularly skilled. Gabby has used him before. There are others outside, one had an exposed norgorber symbol. Sabrina isn’t connected well enough to Gabby anymore to help with what she’d come out of hiding to grab. TEm’s office didn’t have any overt religous symbols. the mayor didn’t know of him following any particular deity, he’d just do the socially appropriate veneration. He might be vulnerable to persuasion. Muginn’s back. Jarra was taken off the docks while she was returning to the ship, the corsairs fought a runing battle with numerous robed spellcasters, Jasper was poisoned, and is not doing well. Neutralize poison isn’t working on him. We’re going to head to the ship, to help Jasper, and maybe distract Gabby from Tiffreya investigating. As we’re exiting, we see 5 figures watching, and following. the greasy, small rouge is not having a good night. 4 others in dark cloaks, not being overly stealthy, like they want to be noticed as following. As we’re headed to the docks, where there’s no crowds, they don’t follow into the alleys we try to lead them into. They are wearing Norgorber symbols, partially in the open. then, they make the mistake of following us into a narrow lane. fireball! And Bonk and Pait do some stabbing. 2 clerics of norgorber, 2 cultists, and the rouge. Loot at end of note As we get to the ship, we find that JAsper just died. He’d been stabbed numerous times, and it was some kind of anticoagulant. There’s something black in one of the wounds. 4 inches long, a broken off dagger, the metal is black. there are faint engravings in the blade, runes. it’s a desecrated dagger for norgorber. Sunash puts Jasper in the bag of gentle repose. His crew will help carry him to the temple of desna. They examine the body, and use one of the resurrection scrolls to bring him back. Jasper asks about the broken off blade. He want’s to come with, GAbby was the one who stabbed him and broke off the blade. That was what killed him. when we’re done having JAsper res’d, it’s ~11pm time to rest, reset spells. Tiffreya will draw out a map of what she saw of the first floor of the house. 2x MW cold iron heavy mace (kitty) 2x MW silver scimitar (kitty) 2x silver norgorber holy symbols (kitty) 600 gp coins & gems (kitty) 2x potions of CMW (Pait and Bonk) 2x flask of alchemists’ ice (skeet) 2x potions of protection from energy (cold CL7) (kitty) 1x flask of green liquid, knockoff stinking cloud. (kitty) 2x norgorber priest costume (kitty) several parchments, with very good drawings of Sunash, Gelid, and Skeet

Full & Partial Kitchen Renovations

Kitchen Remodel

Kitchen Remodel

Your decision to remodel your kitchen is obviously one you have long considered before coming to a final conclusion. Eventually, you have decided to take on this daunting task. But as with every potentially draining task, you do not want to go at it more than once.

By now your head will be bursting with more than a few ideas for your kitchen remodeling project. Before you begin though, there are a few important considerations and evaluations you must make to ensure this process is a success.

Define The Project Scope

The question of what you hope to get out of your remodeling project is an important one. While your kitchen remodeling project can be as little as simply changing the kitchen countertops and updating some aesthetics, it could also easily involve reconfiguring the entire kitchen layout and floor plan.

Contact Us

Contact Us

Visualize Your Kitchen Remodel

Consider this an extension of the first consideration. How would you like your kitchen to appear? Where would you like your appliances and cabinetry to be positioned? How about the finishes for the appliances, walls and countertops? Considering what you like and don’t like about your current kitchen is really important as you try forming a mental picture of your new kitchen.

Define Your Kitchen Remodel Budget

Your budget is very much a factor of what you hope to get out of your kitchen remodeling project. Consider which features are most important to you as you remodel. Do you want custom-built cabinets or will you be buying a ready-made? How about your finishes for countertops, hardwood floor, etc.? What upgrades will you be making to your appliances? As you figure out how much you are willing to spend, you can begin cutting down your list in order of priority.

Determine Your Kitchen Design Style

It is very important that you narrow down your kitchen design style from the beginning. Do you want a very simplistic kitchen with a minimalist design? Do you want something more sophisticated and modern? Or would you prefer a more traditional kitchen appearance? Your design style will impact your selection of colors, finishes and even appliances to adorn your kitchen.

Set A Contingency Plan

As you begin renovating your kitchen, there would be times when you have no access to your kitchen – sometimes even for extended periods. Be sure to have a plan to survive during these times. You can always consider moving out while the kitchen is remodeled and renovated, but this would be easier if you are alone. If that’s not possible, you can always ask your remodeler to develop a plan to allow you use your kitchen intermittently during the remodeling process.

Taking up a kitchen remodeling project can seem daunting at first, but with the right amount of planning and research, you can pull through. Such websites as houzz.com can help you with design ideas to ensure you get the most out of your remodel job. You can also contact Golden Acre Renovations for customized ideas to fit your particular needs for functionality and comfort.

How to Prevent Backlash on a Baitcaster

by Larry Anderson
Baitcasting reels are the choice of many bass fishermen.

Baitcasting reels are the choice of many bass fishermen.

Experienced fishermen who target game fish species such as bass, muskies and northern pike often use baitcaster reels. The reels are designed specifically for casting heavy lures and for fishing with heavy lines. Baitcasters are more difficult than other fishing reels to learn to use because they must be adjusted manually, depending on the lure. Improper adjustment leads to backlash, which some anglers call a "bird's nest." Depending on the severity of the backlash tangle, anglers may have to replace most of the line on the reel.

Attach a 1/4-ounce or heavier lure to the end of the fishing line.

Hold the rod and reel parallel to the ground, about 4 feet above it. Press the thumb bar on the reel and let the lure fall to the ground.

Adjust the baitcaster's spool tension, which is controlled by a knob or dial on the side of the reel opposite the handle. Turn the knob or dial clockwise to increase tension, counterclockwise to decrease tension. When the tension is set properly, the reel spool should make less than one revolution after the lure hits the ground.

Adjust the reel's centrifugal brake. Remove the plate of the reel from the side opposite the handle. Find the brake system and the blocks -- there usually are six of them -- inside of it. Tighten the brake by pushing the blocks down, and pull them out to loosen it. Push all the blocks down to minimize backlash. Keep in mind, though, that doing so also limits casting distance.

November was frostbitten, and the snow drizzled down easy like a plume falling from the sky - Visions Of A Snowman Research Paper Essay introduction. Winter was the best of times for me because as a child I played in the snow as if I were a male monarch. I created reasonably snowmen, which filled my organic structure full of heat and felicity. These feelings would detonate out of my organic structure as I smiled with exhilaration, ever sword lily of what I had created. However, on one of these November yearss I passed through a midst, cloudy forest, with utmost trouble in seeing the land and trees in forepart of me. However, as I continued, I saw the most gorgeous miss that I had of all time seen. I noticed that her eyes twinkled brilliantly as a star, and her smiling filled the cold air. Her figure was a perfect 10 and her hair flowed as if it was in H2O. As I approached this beautiful miss, my bosom began to race & # 8211 ; about beating out of my thorax. I began to sudate, believing of the perfect words to state, and so it came to me as fast as I approached her. I said, & # 8220 ; Hi, my name is Johnny, & # 8221 ; and she replied, in a sweet and soft voice, & # 8220 ; Hello, my name is Stacey. & # 8221 ; The manner that the words rolled off her lingua excited me, and evoked in me a demand to speak farther with her. We continued speaking and with my crafty words, I managed to acquire a day of the month with her.

With each meeting, I found a manner to maintain the love between us exciting. The day of the months were better than playing in the snow as I did when I was a kid. The kid male monarch had now found a new enjoyment, a new vision of love, which was my darling Stacey.

As the yearss turned into hebdomads and so into months, I noticed that Stacy and I grew apart merely as two ships puting canvas in different waies. I decided that I was traveling to rekindle the fire in our relationship by surprising my beloved Stacey. Then the flooring minute of treachery occurred. I merely wished that I was vitamin D

reaming, but the truth was in field sight for all to position: I gazed upon Stacey with another cat. The irritants of the vermilion rose I had in my manus pierced my thenar doing blood to drip easy from the lesion. I did non cognize who this other chap was, but he had his arm around my miss as if they were traveling out. They did non see me, but I saw them and it was as if a knife was thrown into my bosom. The air reeked like a mortuary when I turned and went place, non believing of my cut manus, non believing of the land that we had walked over together. How could I gain retaliation on this foolish male child? There was merely one thing that I could make and that was to face my lover.

As I approached her, her eyes no longer twinkled. Her hair no longer flowed, but was twisted and her smiling was bogus and contrived. I decided if she did non love me so she would be better off with the other cat, her newest plaything. I told her it was finished between us. My tummy ached and burned like fire. She began to shout and I turned my dorsum to her and said, & # 8220 ; Have merriment with that other guy. & # 8221 ; I so walked off through the same wood in which we had met and strolled many times together. The fog was thick that twenty-four hours and I could non see excessively clearly, and I pondered the error I made in leting a miss to destroy the lone merriment that I enjoyed in life. Playing in the snow was guiltless merriment for a small male child ; playing with Stacey as a immature adult male had ruined that vernal artlessness.

I do non cognize how I can love once more, for I thought I knew what love was. The treachery shattered my semblance directing a 1000 matchwoods winging into my bosom, cutting it into bantam, bloody scintillas of nil. How can I love anything that betrays me? Must I stay on prowl like a tiger in the center of winter seeking for nutrient? I no longer hold a vision of pure love, merely a persistent memory of treachery and an allowance of unforgiving misgiving.

For immigrant families without biological parents, separation might be permanent

September 7, 2018
The Orange County Register

“Grandma Rosy” is back home now, in El Salvador, living alone, without the 12-year-old granddaughter she is raising.

Earlier this year the pair spent a month traveling on foot and by bus to get to the United States to seek asylum. But last month the grandmother was deported. The girl, meanwhile, spent about two months in custody as part of the Trump administration’s immigration policy, and was later released to a relative.

Their story has a twist: While you’ve heard a lot about immigrant children who remain in the United States and separated from their parents, the grandmother and granddaughter are part of another group – non-parental families who’ve also been separated at the border.

Most of these non-parent families haven’t been covered much in the media. And it’s unclear exactly how many people are in their situation, nor is it known how many of the nearly 500 immigrant children who remain in federal custody arrived in the United States with people who are not their biological parents.

Advocates say only that they know of numerous cases of grandparents, older siblings, aunts and other family members who are guardians of children they tried to bring into the country, and who have either been deported and blocked from reunification or remain in detention.
