As part of the diagnosis process, healthcare professionals may suggest putting a baby on an elimination diet followed by a food challenge. If it is suspected that the cow’s milk allergy was IgE-mediated, healthcare professionals may also recommend a skin prick or blood test.

Elimination diet

An elimination diet involves removing cow’s milk protein from a baby’s diet for a short period of time, and then monitoring the effect this has on their symptoms. Healthcare professionals may recommend that foods containing cow’s milk protein are completely removed from the diet of breastfeeding mums. For formula-fed babies, healthcare professionals may recommend that the baby is switched onto a special hypoallergenic formula designed for babies with cow’s milk allergy. The healthcare professional would advise on how to begin the elimination diet and how long to continue for. A trial of up to 4 weeks is usually given.

If a healthcare professionals recommended a hypoallergenic formula as part of an elimination diet, it won’t contain whole cow’s milk protein so in most cases should no longer be recognised by the immune system as harmful. It could be an extensively hydrolysed or an amino acid-based formula. Extensively hydrolysed hypoallergenic formulas are effective in approximately 90% of babies with cow's milk allergy.

If a baby is diagnosed with severe cow’s milk allergy or multiple food allergies, or their symptoms do not resolve after trying an extensively hydrolysed formula for a trial period, healthcare professionals may recommend an amino acid-based formula. Find out more about what these suitable milks and formulas could be.

Food challenge

After a baby has been on a cow’s milk protein elimination diet for a few weeks as recommended by a healthcare professional and symptoms have improved, an ‘oral food challenge’ may be advised. This involves feeding the baby a small amount of a milk-based product and carefully watching for any signs of reactions. This process may take place at a doctor’s surgery or hospital clinic, or the healthcare professional may ask for a routine cow’s milk-based infant formula to be gradually reintroduced into the baby’s diet at home and any changes noted. It’s important that this is only done with the advice and supervision of a healthcare professional.

If an allergic reaction isn’t seen at the time of the challenge or later on, the healthcare professional may investigate other possible causes of the baby’s symptoms, such as colic or lactose intolerance. If an allergic reaction is seen, the diagnosis of cow’s milk allergy can be made. The baby may then need to remain on the elimination diet until they grow out of their allergy. When and how to test whether they can start to return to a normal diet would be advised by the healthcare professional.

The Isles of Scilly Steamship Company has announced a string of celebrations throughout 2017 to mark the iconic Scillonian III passenger ferry’s 40th birthday this spring.

May 2017 is the 40th anniversary of Scillonian III, the Group’s longest-serving passenger ship to date. This milestone is being celebrated with a host of events, including a firework display over Penzance harbour, events on board the ship, public history exhibitions and ticket giveaways, to involve the wider communities of both the Isles of Scilly and West Cornwall.

In May, a pop-up exhibition will be held in Market Place with Pop-up Penzance, showing memorabilia including photographs and souvenirs from the Scillonian’s 40-year history, and display boards explaining more about the ship.The exhibition will run from May 15th – 24th, and will be free for the public to visit.

A party will be held on board the Scillonian whilst she is berthed in Penzance on May 24th for staff, guests and VIPs, concluding with a firework display over Penzance harbour at approximately 9.15pm for everyone in the town to enjoy.

During the party, a specially created film will be screened showcasing the Scillonian’s history and featuring interviews with past Masters and staff past and present.

In June, the celebrations will travel across to Scilly, where a lunch reception will be hosted on board the ship whilst she is docked at the quayside on St Mary’s.

The memorabilia exhibition will also be available on board the ship during this event for people to see and soak up the ship’s fascinating history.

Sharon Sandercock, Marketing and Communications Manager of the Isles of Scilly Steamship Group, said: “This is a very special year for Scillonian III, and we wanted to celebrate her milestone anniversary with our local communities, both in West Cornwall and on the Isles of Scilly. The public exhibitions will celebrate the history of the ship, with a selection of original materials on display and some never before seen photographs and drawings.

“We hope regular passengers of the ship, and even those who have yet to experience this spectacular journey to the islands, will join us to celebrate the anniversary.”

Scillonian III was officially launched by HRH The Duke of Cornwall, Prince Charles, on May 17th, 1977, before making her first voyage on May 25th, 1977.

Since then, Scillonian III has made more than 9,000 return journeys to the Isles of Scilly, travelled more than 648,000 nautical miles and carried more than 1,458,000 passengers, including visiting Royals, past Prime Ministers, and a myriad celebrities.

The ship may be 40 years old this year but she’s in great shape and belies her years, thanks to ongoing investment from the Isles of Scilly Steamship Group. Most recently, the Group funded a major £2million upgrade in 2013 to install upgraded lighting, seating, catering, disability facilities and bathroom facilities, ensuring the popular ferry remains ultra-modern and comfortable for the many passengers taking the journey to Scilly.

The Scillonian III has now started its 40th year of service for the 2017 season, with regular trips to the Isles of Scilly.

For more information about the Scillonian, visit and keep up to date with events and giveaways by following Isles of Scilly Travel on social media.

Immigration's data breach victims could be compensated

Immigration's data breach victims could be compensated

OAIC asks those affected to provide info.

The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) is urging those impacted by the Immigration department's 2014 data breach to contact the office as part of its determination over whether to award compensation.

The 2014 data breach saw the personal details of 9258 asylum seekers exposed online.

The database included full names, nationalities, dates of birth, gender, and boat arrival dates of all individuals held on Christmas Island and in a mainland detention facility.

Immigration staff had copied charts and tables directly from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, resulting in the underlying data being embedded in the final Word version of the document.

The data was accessible on the Immigration website for nine days, and cached on an archived search engine for around two weeks.

Privacy commissioner Timothy Pilgrim later that year found Immigration had breached its obligations under the nation's Privacy Act.

As at last July Immigration had spent almost $1 million in legal fees as a result of the breach.

But it warned at the time that costs were expected to rise as a result of privacy complaints and a number of lawsuits from asylum seekers who claimed to be more vulnerable to persecution in their home countries because of the breach.

A group complaint on behalf of affected individuals was made to the OAIC in August 2015.

As part of its investigation into the collective complaint, the OAIC today urged victims to contact the office and provide information about any loss or damage they had suffered as a result of the breach.

"The commissioner is preparing to make a determination on this matter ... in which he will consider whether a remedy, including any compensation, should be awarded to any individual group member who has suffered loss or damage as a result of the data breach," the OAIC's notice reads.

Information provided to the OAIC should include anything the individual considers to be "relevant to the loss or damage you suffered". This could include a statutory declaration or signed statement.

"You may also include any evidence you have from the time of the data breach, or when you first found out about the data breach, (such as medical reports) that contain details about how you reacted to the data breach, and any treatment you received as a result of the data breach's impact on you," the OAIC said.

Victims have until April 19 to contact the office.

The OAIC did not indicate when it expected to make a decision on any potential compensation.

Eternal Living

Reflections on Dallas Willard's Teaching on Faith and Formation

Edited by Gary W. Moon
Contributions by John Ortberg, Jane Willard, Richard J. Foster, James Bryan Smith, and J. P. Moreland
Featuring Dallas Willard

  • Item Code: 9708

Dallas Willard spent his life making eternal living concrete for his friends. With his unexpected passing in 2013, the world lost a brilliant mind. The wide breadth of his impact inspired friends, family, colleagues, students and leaders of the church to gather their reflections on this celebrated yet humble theologian and philosopher.

Richard Foster, a friend for over forty years, writes of Dallas:

"He possessed in his person a spiritual formation into Christlikeness that was simply astonishing to all who were around him. Profound character formation had transpired in his body and mind and spirit until love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control were at the very center of the deep habit-structures of his life. He exhibited a substantively transformed life. Dallas was simply soaked in the presence of the living Christ."

Curated by Gary Moon, director of the Dallas Willard Center, this medley of Dallas's wise teaching and lived model of Christlikeness—as well as snapshots and "Dallas-isms"—will move and motivate readers. Whether influenced by him as a family member, close friend, advisor, professor, philosopher, minister or reformer, contributors bring refreshing insight into not only his ideas and what shaped him, but also to his contagious theology of grace and joy.

Who Can Visit an Inmate in Carrollton City Jail

Anyone over the age of 18, who isn't on felony probation and can produce a valid government-issued photo ID can be approved to visit an inmate in this jail.

If you are a co-defendant with the inmate in a pending case, your visit will be denied.

If you and the inmate are under a court order to have no contact with each other, your visit will be denied.

Carefully fill out the application. Incomplete paperwork is cause for denial.

Honesty, especially regarding past criminal convictions, probation etc., is important. These things will most likely show up on the background check – which if lied about on the application, will cause visits to be denied.

'At Home' Video Visitation

Many jails are implementing video visits. These visits are conducted via the Internet on computers, IPADS and Smart phones.

Video visits allow the visit to take place in the privacy of your own home. Some family members 'take their inmate with them' to church, the park, the doctor or anywhere else simply by signing in and bringing the device along.

Video visits save you from having to get your children ready, drive to the jail, wait in long lines and go through security checkpoints just to see the inmate.

Video visitation is slowly gaining favor with all jails in America as jail management realizes the financial savings and reduced security risks involved with remote visitation.

and that was that, and right next to her was the picture that reminded her of the bad day, and in the other room, Samuel lay asleep.

I pulled my blanket over mum’s face. It was soft, and she was still, and I tried not to think about anything for a long time.

All the world that the woman knew was dark. She wandered about, drifting to see what was after the next shadow, and the next one, and the next one, and eventually she came to a pond, and around the pond sat a swirling white myst, and around the pond where other vapors like herself, drifting about, looking beyond the shadows, and she had the sense that she was there a long time, but it didn’t feel quite that way, and she seemed to know many stories; stories that seemed strange to her. Myths about strange things, like bright colors and pain, and solid bodies that would bump against rocks and not go through them, and she was afraid of such ideas and half curious if they were true, if there was some place beyond the darkness that she knew, beyond the vapors and the blank eyes of the others, and she walked forward and at the pond was a little girl, sitting in a black dress and a black top hat, swirling her feet in the water, but creating no ripples, and the woman sat next to the girl and dipped her toes in the water and felt nothing. The woman couldn’t be sure, but she thought that she heard some whispers in the distance, muttering the same word, over and over and over again.

Miner’s in Michigan

Retail jewelry store owners take great pride in their communities. This takes many forms, from helping local charities to even creating jewelry to commemorate their cities, states, or even the states’ natural resources. In part two of a three-part retailer profile series, Retail Details looks at store owners who have created jewelry lines that honor the places they call home.

Miner's North store
Miner’s North
Jewelers in Traverse City, Mich.

Before Wayne and Beth Guntzviller opened Miner’s North Jewelers in 1974, Wayne’s hobby was lapidary work and making jewelry. Eventually his part-time occupation became a full-time calling, but old habits and years of cutting stones stayed with Wayne. Looking for a little market differentiation, Wayne started making jewelry set with Michigan’s famed Petoskey Stone—fossilized masses of ancient coral that come in mainly gray to grayish-tan pieces—about 10 years ago.

But three years back Wayne got more serious about this portion of his business, expanding it to include other stones indigenous to his home state including Michigan Greenstone (Chlorastrolite), Datolite, Lake Superior Agate, and Mohawkite (a combination of copper arsenates with nickel and cobalt). Jewelry made from these locally sourced goods—as well as his own 90-facet diamond—are part of the store’s Lakeshore Collection.

In addition to a unique store branding component—Miner’s North is the only jeweler that carries Petoskey Stone and other Michigan stones set in silver and gold—the Lakeshore Collection has become a very lucrative part of the couple’s inventory. “About 15 to 20 percent of our business is done with Petoskey Stone jewelry and other jewelry set with State Stones that are part of the Lakeshore Collection,” says Wayne.

Sales of Petoskey Stone and other Lakeshore Collection jewelry is a mix of locals who want who want to call a little piece of Michigan their own. But just as much of the Lakeshore Collection is sold to the throngs of tourists who visit Traverse City during the high tourist seasons. The store’s many tourists have turned in to good out-of-market customers, which was the inspiration for an e-commerce enabled website.

The couple has also found that returning tourists are also coming back for more serious jewelry purchases such as semi-mounts and even holding off on jewelry repairs for their next vacation to Traverse City.

To appease the buying habits of both crowds, Wayne has price points that on average range from $29 for a basic pair of earrings on up to pieces that have $500 and even $1,000 price tags for bracelets of made of finer materials. Calibrated and freeform Petoskey Stones are set in a variety of “contemporary yet simple designs mixed with a variety of colored stones,” says Wayne. “One of our best sellers is the moon and sun pendant.”

Wayne also makes Petoskey Stone beads, high-end Damascus steel pocket knives (which sold well last year for Father’s Day), and even some specialty items including Petoskey Stone wineglass stem holders, candles mixed with Petoskey Stones, and bookends.

Vamizi Island Resort is the luxurious resort on the northernmost island in the Quirimbas Archipelago on the Mozambique’s northern coast. It’s located on a 7 kilometer long private white sand beach, surrounded by rainforest. Even though this resort is a part of a conservational project, that fact does not diminish all the beauty and luxury it offers.

Vamizi Island lodge contains 13 one or two bedroom villas (including two family villas), made of palm leaf, scattered all over the long paradise-like beach. Covering the area of 175 square meters, these vast and luxurious cabins all have balconies, bedrooms with four poster beds, large bathrooms and open lounge areas. The houses are designed in Arab-influenced East-African style, with the presence of iron lanterns and wood handcrafted carvings.

Vamizi’s accommodations are not equipped with TVs and air-conditioning; its luxury reflects in full privacy, serenity and possibility to enjoy the perfect nature while spending time in the most beautiful resort on the East-African coast. Apart from that, the polite staff of Vamizi is at your disposal, whether you need spa services, such as reiki and shiatsu therapies, Indian, Swedish and aroma-therapy massages, yoga or beauty treatments.

Wooden lodge at Vamizi Island Resort

For the lovers of some more dynamic activities, Vamizi offers deep-sea fishing, whale watching expeditions, snorkeling trips, castaway picnics and much more. We should also not forget about the chance of running into a monkey somewhere along the way.

While relaxing at the Vamizi Resort, you will not be deprived of the excellent food, since the chef is trained by Jamie Oliver, and the restaurants are truly amazing, serving excellent tropical dishes and seafood. During the day the guests can use the eatery in the main lodge and cocktails at the bar, while in the evenings, grills by the beach are an excellent option. During the winter season, the Muntu Nkulu restaurant is open on the south side of the island.

Even though Vamizi Island is malaria-free, it is recommended that visitors should have medical and evacuation insurance. Also, they should consult their doctors about a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate.

The temperatures on the island do not go below 21 degrees Celsius in July to September, and don’t exceed 30 degrees Celsius in October to April, so we could easily say that the weather on the island is perfect, as well as everything else regarding this tamed piece of Africa.

Where the Watchtower missed the boat on Blood

by Lee Elder 4 Replies latest watchtower medical

  • Lee Elder
    Lee Elder

    To really understand the Jehovah's Witnesses policy on blood, you have to understand the fundamental mistake Watchtower leaders made when the policy was first developed.

  • careful

    Thanks for the info. It looks like Freddie Franz was looking for anything he could find that would equate in his mind transfusing blood with eating it. It's not at all unusual for him and other WTS "researchers" to look for support for a notion they already have concluded before they began their "research." That is still the org's mentality. "We have the truth. Let's find anything we can to support it."

  • Lee Elder
    Lee Elder

    Confirmation bias - followed up with a failure to understand the both the science and the context of the relevant Biblical passages. The icing on the cake was the need to find issues where they could distinguish their unique Watchtower "brand".

  • Giordano

    "After considering the Watchtower Society’s published and often contradictory record of scientific statements and medical advice, one can only wonder why anyone would want to seriously consider them as a source of information and direction on matters of health, science or medicine."

    Noteworthy is the following comment:

    “A long acquaintance with the literature of the Witnesses leads one to the conclusion that they live in the intellectual `twilight zone.’ … Whenever their literature strays onto the fields of philosophy, academic theology, science or any severe mental discipline their ideas at best mirror popular misconceptions, at worst they are completely nonsensical.” [Alan Rogerson, Millions Now Living Will Never Die: A Study of Jehovah’s Witnesses, p. 116, Constable, London, 1969]

    "Is it any wonder the Watchtower Society has long ceased to print its older publications. How would the average person, or even the average Jehovah’s Witness react if he had access to such information? How should knowing that the Watchtower’s policy on blood originated in this atmosphere of scientific ignorance and lunacy effect how we view it? Is it any wonder that Bethel libraries are closed to researchers, and even the vast majority of Jehovah’s Witnesses."

  • Perry

    Thanks Lee for that nice written review. I agree that the blood issue as well as many others are just there to create a "brand".

    From the beginning the WT seemed hell-bent on distinguishing themselves from ANY other Christian group. It seems like they couldn't stand being classed with others, and so went way out of their way in a number of areas to set themselves apart from the doctrines handed down from the apostles.

    It seems that the apostles saw it coming and warned us:

    Galatians 1:8-9

    But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

    As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Kind hearted staff at Jennings Ford Direct, part of the award-winning Jennings Motor Group, have raised cash for Macmillan Cancer.

For the second consecutive year, staff at the Newcastle Road dealership in South Shields, took part in the world’s biggest coffee morning and successfully raised £270 for the national charity, which offers invaluable support to people who are diagnosed with cancer.

Members of staff put their culinary skills to the test and prepared a variety of fancy cakes and treats for the event, which involved both staff and customers making a donation for every cup of coffee and treat they had at the dealership’s onsite café.

In addition to raising money from the coffee morning, staff have also been raising additional funds through selling raffle tickets for the charity’s annual autumn raffle.

David Walker, general sales manager at the South Shields-based dealership, said; “Due to the extremely positive response and success last year, staff were keen to take part and do their bit again this year.

“We are absolutely delighted with the amount that has been raised for such a worthy cause.”

The Jennings Ford Direct dealership houses hundreds of nearly-new Ford cars, which are sourced and delivered direct from the manufacturer.  Customers can also take advantage of a service and parts department on site at the branch.

Independent Study

Brand Launch

Every Creative Brand Manager completes an independent business study during the last year of the Brandcenter program. This capstone project requires each student to complete a business analysis and marketing plan for a client tackeling a real-life business problem the company is facing.

I had the opportunity to work with a Richmond based start-up that is making a limited ingredient, dairy-free gelato.

1. Create a Marketing plan to Launch O’MY Dairy-Free Gelato into local markets this summer.
2. Research flavors or innovations the company can develop in order to differentiate them from their competition.

Coming up on their first year in business, the founders were working to perfect their recipe and get their product produced. In late fall, 2017, the only branded element they had developed was their packaging.
The founders were gracious to receive help in creating a strategically backed launch campaign. They requested to include elements for sampling events, as well as a marketing campaign focused on exhibiting at the Natural Foods Expo this fall.

Dairy-free is the new gluten-free! Dairy-free product introductions have increased 55% over the last few years (Mintel, Ice Cream & Frozen Novelties, April 2018). O'MY has to act fast to stake their claim in the dairy-free frozen dessert landscape as small, niche creameries grow rapidly and ice cream brands extend their footprint into dairy-free lines of product.

The first months of this project was focused on research, as understanding the landscape of better for you food brands, packaging claims, and favorite ice cream flavors was important to understand where O'MY stood out from the competition. I conducted Individual interviews with peers who have food restrictions, a focus group with 6 individuals with different dietary restrictions, two surveys - one with over 500 responses focusing on flavor preferences, as well as industry and trend research.

My first area of research concentrated on food packaging claims. The natural foods industry is experiencing a movement toward clean-labels. Leading the pack in the clean-label movement are healthy snack bars, strong examples of this are brands like RXBAR and That's It who are also founded around minimal ingredient recipes. They exhibit the transparency in their recipes by showing all of the ingredients prominently on the front of the package. One brnad, Zego, which created a nut-free snack bar, places a link to their website FAQ page by the use of a QR code on every package.

According to Mintel Research, 55% of shoppers believe that allergen warnings are important enough to be on the front of food packaging. And, per my research, 59% of respondents with food allergies place the highest importance on whether the food packaging states that it's product fits their diet.

Survey question determines difference in flavor preference for those with food allergies over the general population. 83 Dairy-free, 40 with other food allergies (egg, nut, gluten), and 94 vegan respondents.

The second area of focus for my research was to understand if there are any variances in flavor preference by individuals with dietary restrictions. Overall, everyone loves the same decadent flavors, full of extra treets like cookie dough, brownies, and fudge swirls. The one flavor that stuck out for those who have food allergies and eat vegan was caramel. Caramel would be a key flavor extension for the brand as it is often hard to find caramel that is vegan and gluten-free.

I wish someone would make a vegan caramel swirl ice cream!
— Male, Vegan - different diets focus group

With consideration to those who have restricted diets, the brand can market to a few different audience groups; those with food allergies restricting them from foods, or those who to restrict their diet based on preference, religion, health, and wellbeing factors. For O'MY initial brand communications, my suggestion is to target an overarching personality of the Intentional Eater.
This individual is female, the primary shopper for her household over 80% of the time, uses her mobile device while she shops to research the packaged food she buys, and eats frozen dessert a few times per month.

Bringing it All Together

1.  For people who are true vegans, they know that not all sugar is vegan, and frozen dessert brands are often not transparent enough about the sugar they use.
2. For families affected by severe food allergies, they have given up most frozen desserts because they have not found one that DOES NOT produce their product on shared lines. Families often purchase an ice cream machine to make frozen desserts at home.

O'MY Gelato is the solution for people with concerns about the origin and safty of their food. The company has carefully sourced ingredients to be vegan compliant as well as ingredient from suppliers who have dedicated practices to ensure there is no allergen cross-contamination.
O'MY will also be extra sensitive about contamination in their manufacturing process, testing the equipment after cleaning between each flavor production.

1. The company must be as transparent about their manufacturing process, weaving it into their marketing communications.

2. As the company continues to grow it's offerings, they can fill a niche for allergen-aware flavors.

3. Clearly and Concisely communicate that O'MY Gelato is the truly clean gelato option people have been looking for.

In order to clearly and concisely communicate the O'MY brand, I created brand standards for the company to use as communication standards when working with marketing partners and posting on their social accounts.

To develop creative for the brand to utilize in stores and online, a Brandcenter peer, Kelley Bode (1st Year Copywriter) helped me create the advertising concept and flush out the communication for various materials.

Creative Concept:

O'MY is the
delicious dessert
you can say
YES to.

Social Media

A company's social media presence is an increasingly important representation of their brand. As O'MY is planning to launch, I recommended they start explaining their brand's story and why they created their decadent gelato as soon as possible. They also have an opportunity to showcase their manufacturing process and testing procedures in a timely manner to the product's story while producing their first commercial batch this April before it is expected in stores.

Jody Giachello is an experienced Drummer and producer in the L.A. music scene.

Jody Giachello, known as Fourth Dimension (4D), is an innovative multidimensional drummer and producer based out of Long Beach, CA. Playing the drums has always been a huge part of his life. Giachello’s father began teaching him how to play the drums at two years old and his involvement in jazz bands from middle school to college helped drive his lifelong passion for music.

After attending Berklee College of Music, where he studied privately with Afro-Cuban and Brazilian jazz drummer Francisco Mela and was involved with legendary jazz trombonist Hal Crook’s ensemble for several semesters. He had the privilege of performing at The Rose Bowl, touring with Concord Records jazz prodigy Taylor Eigsti, and playing with the house band for late-night NBC program Last Call with Carson Daly.

Giachello then went on to touring internationally and performing twice on Broadway with the world’s largest touring magic show, The Illusionists. All while playing drums for the Los Angeles-based punk/hardcore band Chotto Ghetto for the past 10 years, and producing under his Fourth Dimension alias.

Earlier this year Giachello released the first installment of his 2 part series: Fourth Dimension (4D) - Millennial Kingdom Vol. 1 on 3.31.17 through Long Beach based label Dankradio. Since then he has landed the drumming position for the band HAIM, and coincidently started rehearsing with them the day he released MKV1.

get you korean foods here! - Review by Dora W | Koreana Plaza

Koreana Plaza

get you korean foods here! 3/20/2006

Koreana Plaza aka Pusan is the best place in the East Bay Area to get Korean spices and ingredients and foods. The place is small and you can only find specifically Korean foods and merchandise here. It's supposed to be like a supermarket, but there are a lot of things you can't get here (like paper towels or toothpaste). So if you're planning to get your house hold supplies, consider another place, but if you're going to cook up an authentic Korean meal, this is your place. more

300,000 New Immigrants is the new normal threshold for Canada- Immigration Minister says

Posted on November 1, 2017

While the nations worldwide are waiting for Canada Immigration Levels Plan for 2018, Canada’s Immigration Minister, Ahmed Hussen satisfied the immigration-motivated crowd by declaring the standard threshold of immigrants for Canada each year. On CBC’s prominent radio show, the House, Ahmed Hussen said that country aims to accept as many immigrants possible in 2018. With this, he also confirmed that 300,000 would be the “new normal threshold” . In this context, here is what the Canadian Immigration Minister quotes:

“Three hundred thousand is now our new normal.”

“As a government we went from 260,000 to 300,000 because of the need to meet the demands of Canadian families who wanted to reunite with their loved ones.”

“But also employers who are asking us to allow them to continue to use immigration more and more as a way to meet their growth needs.”

While Canada is all set to invite a majority of immigrants through its economic class programs (due to the increasing need of skilled workers), it will have plenty of room for family reunification. Programs of Canada Express Entry, Provincial Nominee programs, Quebec immigration programs shall be the source for skilled workers, entrepreneurs and international graduates. Likewise, families will have Family Class programs at ease to invite their families for a permanent stay in Canada.

With regards to the release of Annual Immigration Plan of Canada 2018, sources reveal that the plan will be placed in the House of Commons by next week and shall follow a quick release. To stay updated of Canada Immigration Plan 2018, subscribe to our newsletter and have the update into your inbox, instantly upon release.

Job Bank Registration- no more mandatory

Posted on June 7, 2017

After nearly two-and-a-half years of maintaining Job Bank Registration a mandatory element for Canada Express Entry applicants, IRCC has now called it voluntary. A Job Bank of Canada is a free government aided resource which connects employers and eligible applicants while the candidate’s application lies in the Express Entry Pool. In case any Canadian employer finds an application potential, he can offer a job to the respective candidate and boost his points.

Effective from June 6, 2017 applicants without a job offer or a Provincial nomination can remain in the Express Entry Pool without a mandatory need of registering under Job Bank. Until the specified dates, the profiles of candidates who did not register with Job Bank expired within a time period of 30 days and were not eligible for any IRCC Draws during the meantime.

At a Canadian summit in Ottawa held last month, a Senior Policy Analyst from IRCC addressed this shift in process and quoted “Up until now, if you didn’t have a job offer or a provincial nomination, you had to go and register with Job Bank first before you could get into the Express Entry pool,” “We didn’t find that there were a lot of matches that were taking place in Job Bank. There were some, and we want that to continue, so we’re allowing people to go to Job Bank on an optional basis instead of as a required step.”

The benefit with this shift is that an applicant is no longer obliged to build an additional profile. This makes the process much simpler and avoids several complexities of registration.  This has also improved scope for candidates to get an Invitation to Apply without much dependency on a valid Canadian job offer.

For more information on how Canada Express Entry works or the role of Job Bank Registration, register for a free counselling by our Canada Immigration Expert.

Are Deceased Ancestors Influencing You?

Keen Category: Spiritual Advice

A child angel walking through a birch forest

Have you ever wondered why you prefer certain types of movies? When you think about the origin of your taste in men, does it seem like there is no rhyme or reason to your preferences? Have you ever just jumped up and gone for a walk outside and wondered whatever gave you the inspiration to do so?

Look through your old family photos and ask yourself if the origin of what you choose has not been as voluntary as you might believe. Many signs might point to your relatives who have moved on into eternity being around. Spirits, especially our ancestors, can establish a deep influence on the way you think and feel.

Day in and day out we make a thousand different decisions. From simple things like where to eat lunch and what to wear to work, all the way to major undertakings like pursuing a possible life partner, barely a minute goes by in your day that you do not make a decision about what to do. Your ancestors are on a different plane of existence, but they still have a deep influence on the material plane, especially in these regularly occurring areas.

Here are four types of decisions you make every day that are most likely to be influenced on occasion by your ancestors watching over you.

    When to Eat

    Did you have an overweight grandmother? Was your great-grandfather's sweet tooth so legendary that they still talk about it at Thanksgiving when they pass around the box of chocolates? When you make an impulsive decision for a rich meal, it could be your dearly departed great-aunt who really wants a whiff of that cheeseburger and fries.

    When to Pause

    When you have a certain intense hysteria at the height of an emotional crisis, how is it that sometimes you manage to just stop? Bless your ancestors who go to great effort to pull that rage out of you, temporarily leaving you empty of all feeling for just one second long enough to give up and walk away. Pausing for peace in the midst of frenzy is the great indicator that you are blessed by their presence.

    Spotting Seduction

    Have you ever had a good experience with a man, a flirtation that seemed dreamy, perhaps a first date that made you hunger for more? But then, suddenly he seemed so different on the second date? You spotted inconsistencies in his story. Maybe the thought entered your mind that he was married or was only interested in you in pursuit of a quick physical encounter. Do not doubt the feeling, as your ancestors, especially a mother or sister who has moved to the other side, are able to make your subconscious hear what they alone can see behind his public face.

    Finding Your True Spiritual Path

    Once your relatives have left for the next plane, all of earth's belief systems melt into one great truth. If you are looking for guidance toward that truth, don't be embarrassed if you are not following in the earthly traditions of your family. Your ancestors may be quite enlightened in the great beyond and able to guide you on a spiritual path that is right for you.

    In Conclusion

    You have to balance the guidance of your elders with your own sense of right and wrong. Your innate free will is the core wild card in all of your daily decisions. You can learn to feel your ancestors assisting your impulses but are free to draw the line and be your own person. Most spirits can do little other than to suggest, and as they are filled with love, there are no grudges when you do not do their bidding. While it is nice to have your ancestors around, remember to close the curtains when you finally find Mister Right.
