Obama's immigration enforcement director to resign

Alan Gomez | USA TODAY

WASHINGTON -- President Obama's immigration enforcement director announced his resignation Monday, ending a four-year tenure that saw a dramatic shift in how the federal government pursues and deports unauthorized immigrants.

In an internal letter to colleagues on Monday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton announced he would depart the agency by the end of July and start working for a private company.

He will be moving to Capital One, the Fortune 500 financial services company, and be based in its McLean, Va., headquarters as head of the company's compliance office, the company said in a statement.

"He is a skilled leader with great judgment and a proven ability to drive results in a dynamic organization," Capital One spokeswoman Tatiana Stead said. "Compliance is a high priority for our company, and we couldn't be more pleased that he will be joining our team."

In his letter, Morton thanked his colleagues for their work and said it was simply time for his 20-year government career, which included years at the Justice Department, to come to an end.

"I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished together during that time and look with awe on the incredible progress ICE has made as an agency," Morton wrote. "ICE has truly come of age and become an innovative, leading force in federal law enforcement."

Morton leaves the agency with high praise from officials in the Obama administration, but a stream of complaints from immigration advocates and hard-liners alike who feel he either went too far, or did too little, in targeting unauthorized immigrants for deportation.

"I am deeply grateful for Director Morton's contributions to (the Department of Homeland Security), ICE and our nation and I wish him all the best in his coming endeavors," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a statement. "John will be missed."

Morton may best be remembered for a policy plan he authored in 2011 -- known in immigration circles as the "Morton Memo" -- which outlined a new strategy for determining whom the agency should deport.

In the memo, Morton explained that ICE has a limited amount of money and resources it can dedicate to deporting any of the 11 million unauthorized immigrants living in the country. So he ordered his agents to use "prosecutorial discretion" to focus deportation proceedings on certain groups of unauthorized immigrants, including those who pose a national security threat, who have extensive criminal backgrounds and recent border-crossers.

That strategy was dubbed "amnesty by any means" by the Center for Immigration Studies, a group that advocates for lower levels of immigration, and had already earned him a vote of "no confidence" from the National ICE Council, the biggest labor union for ICE employees.

"He was the architect of the administration's non-enforcement policy," said Ira Mehlman of the Federation for American Immigration Reform. "He was toeing the administration's line rather than allowing them to do the jobs they were sworn to do."

Despite those claims, the Obama administration continued setting a record each year for the number of people it deports -- more than 400,000 in 2012. During Morton's tenure, the percentage of people deported who were convicted criminals rose from 38% in 2009 to 55% in 2012.

Homeland Security officials point to those numbers to show how ICE has been able to spend its limited time on people who are criminals and serious threats to the country. But the sheer volume of people deported has led immigration advocates to label Obama as the "deporter in chief" and single out Morton for carrying out those deportations.

"Under his leadership, ICE further fractured an already broken immigration system, it did tremendous damage to civil rights, and it served as a 'force multiplier' for the unjust status quo," Chris Newman, legal director for the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, said in a statement. "While we celebrate the removal of Morton, the deportation machine he helped build remains in place."

Lesson: Introduction to Cervical Cancer

### Section 1: What is Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is caused by abnormal cell growth in the cervix, and it can be life-threatening if left untreated.

### Section 2: Who is at risk for cervical cancer?
Anyone who has ever been sexually active can get cervical cancer, but the risk is higher for people who have had multiple sexual partners or who have been exposed to certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Additionally, women who smoke or use tobacco products are at a higher risk of developing cervical cancer.

### Section 3: How can I prevent cervical cancer?
There are several ways to reduce your risk of developing cervical cancer:

1. Get vaccinated: The HPV vaccine can protect you against the most common types of HPV that cause cervical cancer.

2. Get screened: Regular pap tests and HPV tests can help detect early signs of cervical cancer before it becomes more serious.

3. Practice safe sex: Using condoms and getting tested for STIs can help reduce your risk of getting infected with HPV.

4. Quit smoking: Smoking increases your risk of developing cervical cancer, so quitting can help lower your risk.

### Section 4: What are the symptoms of cervical cancer?
Early stage cervical cancer usually doesn't have any symptoms. However, as the cancer progresses, you may experience:

1. Abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge

2. Pelvic pain or pressure

3. Pain during sex

4. Fatigue

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to see a doctor right away.

### Section 5: How is cervical cancer treated?
Treatment for cervical cancer depends on the stage of the cancer and the patient's overall health. Some common treatments include:

1. Surgery: This may involve removing the cancerous tissue or the entire cervix.

2. Radiation therapy: This uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing.

3. Chemotherapy: This uses drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing.

4. Targeted therapy: This uses drugs that specifically target cancer cells and do not harm healthy cells.

5. Immunotherapy: This uses the body's immune system to fight cancer cells.

### Section 6: Conclusion
Cervical cancer is a serious disease, but there are things you can do to prevent it and treat it if it develops. By getting vaccinated, getting screened, practicing safe sex, and quitting smoking, you can reduce your risk of developing cervical cancer. If you do develop cervical cancer, there are many effective treatments available to help you recover.

Lesson: Creating an Aquascape

Introduction:
An aquascape is an underwater landscape that is designed to mimic a natural environment. It can be created in an aquarium or a pond and can include rocks, plants, and other decorations. In this lesson, we will learn about the steps involved in creating an aquascape and the different materials needed for this project.

Section 1: Understanding the Basics

**Topic 1: Types of Aquascapes**

Aquascapes can be categorized into two types: natural and scenic. Natural aquascapes aim to replicate a natural ecosystem with minimal intervention from the hobbyist. Scenic aquascapes, on the other hand, are designed to create a specific scene or atmosphere.

**Topic 2: Materials Needed**

To create an aquascape, you will need the following materials:

- Aquarium or pond
- Rocks and gravel
- Plants (both aquatic and non-aquatic)
- Decorations such as driftwood, statues, or artificial plants
- Substrate (sand, soil, or gravel)
- Water conditioner
- Fish (optional)

Section 2: Designing the Aquascape

**Topic 1: Planning the Layout**

Before starting, you should plan the layout of your aquascape. Consider the size of your aquarium or pond, the type of plants and decorations you will use, and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve.

**Topic 2: Placing Rocks and Gravel**

The first step in creating an aquascape is to place the rocks and gravel. This will serve as the base for your plants and decorations. Make sure to arrange the rocks in a way that mimics a natural environment and creates hiding spots for your fish (if any).

**Topic 3: Planting the Plants**

Once the rocks and gravel are in place, you can start planting your plants. Choose plants that thrive in the same conditions and create a harmonious balance between them. You can also use aquatic plants that float on the surface or grow submerged in the water.

**Topic 4: Adding Decorations**

After planting the plants, you can add decorations to your aquascape. These can include driftwood, statues, or artificial plants. Make sure to choose decorations that complement the overall aesthetic of your aquascape.

Section 3: Maintaining the Aquascape

**Topic 1: Water Quality**

Maintaining good water quality is essential for the health of your plants and fish. Test the water regularly and adjust the parameters such as pH, ammonia, and nitrite levels as needed.

**Topic 2: Cleaning**

Regular cleaning is necessary to keep your aquascape looking its best. Remove any debris or algae that accumulates on the surface of the water. You may also need to perform partial water changes to maintain the water quality.

Conclusion:

Creating an aquascape requires careful planning and attention to detail. By understanding the basics, designing a layout, and maintaining the aquascape, you can create a beautiful underwater landscape that mimics a natural environment. With practice, you can experiment with different materials and techniques to create unique and stunning aquascapes.

# Lesson: Using Assessments in the Hiring Process

## Introduction
Assessments are a useful tool to ensure you are giving the hiring process the time, objectivity and analysis it needs. They can help you identify the best candidates for your organization, reduce unconscious bias, and improve your overall talent acquisition process. In this lesson, we will cover the following topics:

1. The importance of assessments in the hiring process
2. Types of assessments and when to use them
3. How to implement assessments in your hiring process
4. Tips for reducing unconscious bias in your hiring process

## Section 1: The Importance of Assessments in the Hiring Process
Assessments are an important part of the hiring process because they help you make informed decisions about which candidates are the best fit for your organization. They can provide objective data that can help you identify candidates who have the skills and abilities needed to succeed in the role. Additionally, assessments can help reduce unconscious bias in the hiring process by providing a standardized way to evaluate candidates.

## Section 2: Types of Assessments and When to Use Them
There are several types of assessments that can be used in the hiring process, including:

1. Skills and knowledge assessments: These assessments test a candidate's knowledge and skills in a specific area, such as coding or data analysis.
2. Personality assessments: These assessments measure a candidate's personality traits, such as their work style, communication skills, and leadership ability.
3. Behavioral assessments: These assessments evaluate a candidate's past behavior to predict future performance.
4. Cognitive assessments: These assessments measure a candidate's ability to think critically, solve problems, and make decisions.

When to use each type of assessment depends on the role you are hiring for and the specific skills and traits you are looking for in a candidate. For example, if you are hiring for a technical role, you may want to use a skills and knowledge assessment to evaluate a candidate's technical skills. If you are hiring for a leadership role, a personality assessment may be more appropriate to evaluate a candidate's leadership potential.

## Section 3: How to Implement Assessments in Your Hiring Process
To implement assessments in your hiring process, follow these steps:

1. Identify the skills and traits you are looking for in a candidate.
2. Choose the appropriate assessment tools based on the skills and traits you are evaluating.
3. Develop a consistent process for administering and scoring the assessments.
4. Train interviewers on how to use the assessment results to make informed hiring decisions.
5. Integrate the assessment results with other data sources, such as the candidate's resume and interview performance, to make a comprehensive hiring decision.

## Section 4: Tips for Reducing Unconscious Bias in Your Hiring Process
Unconscious bias can creep into the hiring process in many ways, such as through stereotyping or favoring candidates who remind us of ourselves. To reduce unconscious bias in your hiring process, try the following tips:

1. Use a standardized process for evaluating candidates.
2. Train interviewers on how to reduce unconscious bias in their interactions with candidates.
3. Use assessments as a standardized way to evaluate candidates.
4. Focus on objective data rather than subjective impressions.
5. Diversify your hiring team to reduce the impact of groupthink.

## Conclusion
Assessments are a valuable tool in the hiring process, helping you make informed decisions about which candidates are the best fit for your organization. By implementing assessments consistently and reducing unconscious bias, you can improve your overall talent acquisition process and hire the best candidates for your team.

Hydroxamide derivatives of short-chain fatty acids are potent inducers of human fetal globin gene expression.
To examine whether hydroxamic acids are inducers of fetal hemoglobin expression, we tested the effects on gamma gene expression of butyric and propionic hydroxamic acids and of two other hydroxamic acids (SBHA and SAHA), which are potent inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC). We also investigated whether there is a correlation between HDAC inhibitory activity of the compounds and their ability to induce gamma-globin gene expression. Effects on gamma-globin expression were assessed by two methods: 1) a screening assay in which specific gamma-globin gene inducers are recognized by their ability to increase gamma firefly luciferase activity significantly more than beta-renilla luciferase activity; and 2) measurements of gamma-globin mRNA and the frequency of fetal hemoglobin-positive erythroblasts in cultures of burst-forming unit erythroid (BFU-E) from normal individuals. HDAC in vitro activity was measured with a partially purified rat liver HDAC and a fluorogenic substrate. All compounds tested increased gamma firefly luciferase activity, gamma/gamma+beta mRNA ratios, and percentage of fetal hemoglobin-containing erythroblasts in BFU-E cultures, in a dose-dependent fashion. Butyryl-hydroxamic acid 100 microM increased the gamma/gamma+beta mRNA ratios by 5.8-fold and the frequency of fetal hemoglobin-containing erythroblasts by 4.1-fold. Propionyl-hydroxamic acid 150 microM increased the gamma/gamma+beta ratios by 6.3-fold and the fetal hemoglobin-containing erythroblasts by 3.9-fold. SBHA induced gamma-globin gene expression at very low concentrations, 5 to 20 microM in the luciferase system and 2 to 8 microM in BFU-E cultures; SAHA at 1 to 7.5 microM in the luciferase system and 1 to 2.5 microM in the BFU-E cultures. HDAC in vitro inhibition was observed in the millimolar range for propionate and butyrate. IC(50) determinations led to values of 384 microM for propionyl-hydroxamate, 47 microM for butyryl-hydroxamate, 0.93 microM for SBHA, and 0.26 microM for SAHA. CONCLUCION: Our data indicate that hydroxamic acid-based HDAC inhibitors are potent gamma-globin gene inducers and that the concentration range of their effects on gamma gene expression can be correlated roughly with their HDAC inhibitory potencies.

Lesson: Introduction to Chemistry

### Chapter 1: What is Chemistry?

Chemistry is the study of matter and its interactions with energy and other substances. It is a branch of science that deals with the behavior and characteristics of elements and compounds. Chemistry can be divided into several subfields, including organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, and biochemistry.

### Chapter 2: The Scientific Method

The scientific method is a systematic approach to understanding natural phenomena. It involves making observations, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. The scientific method is essential for chemists because it allows them to test their theories and ideas through experimentation.

### Chapter 3: Atoms and Elements

All matter is made up of atoms, which are the smallest units of an element that maintain its chemical identity. There are approximately 118 elements in the periodic table, each with its unique atomic number, symbol, and properties. Elements can combine to form compounds, which have different properties than the elements themselves.

### Chapter 4: Chemical Reactions

Chemical reactions occur when two or more substances interact and form new substances. These reactions can involve changes in the composition of the substances involved, as well as changes in temperature, pressure, and other factors. Chemical reactions can be represented by chemical equations, which show the reactants and products involved in the reaction.

### Chapter 5: Compounds and Molecules

Compounds are formed when two or more elements bond together. Molecules are groups of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds. The type of bond and the arrangement of atoms within the molecule determine the properties of the compound or molecule.

### Chapter 6: Acids and Bases

Acids and bases are two types of substances that can interact with each other in chemical reactions. Acids have a sour taste and can donate protons (hydrogen ions), while bases have a bitter taste and can accept protons. The strength of an acid or base is determined by its pH level, which ranges from 0 to 14.

### Chapter 7: Solutions and Mixtures

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more substances, where one substance is dissolved in another. Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that do not blend together completely. Solutions and mixtures can be separated using various techniques, such as filtration, distillation, and chromatography.

### Chapter 8: Lab Safety

Safety is a critical component of chemistry. Lab safety rules must be followed to prevent accidents and injuries. Some common lab safety rules include wearing goggles and gloves, using proper equipment, and following proper procedures when handling chemicals and performing experiments.

### Conclusion

Chemistry is a fascinating subject that helps us understand the world around us. By studying chemistry, we can learn about the properties and behaviors of matter, as well as how to create new substances and materials. Whether you're interested in pursuing a career in chemistry or simply want to learn more about the world around you, this introduction to chemistry course will provide you with a solid foundation in the subject.

Lesson: Understanding Company Financing Alternatives
Introduction:
Company financing refers to the funds needed to start, manage, or grow a business. There are several ways to obtain business funding, each with its advantages and disadvantages. In this lesson, we will explore the most common types of business financing, including bad credit merchant cash advances.
Section 1: Understanding Business Financing
Business financing is essential for starting and growing a business. It can be used to cover expenses such as inventory, equipment, marketing, and employee salaries. There are several types of business financing, including:
1.1. Equity Financing: This type of financing involves selling shares of ownership in the company to investors in exchange for capital.
1.2. Debt Financing: This type of financing involves borrowing money from a lender and repaying it with interest.
1.3. Grants: These are financial awards that do not require repayment and are often given to small businesses or specific industries.
1.4. Revenue-Based Financing: This type of financing involves receiving a percentage of future revenue in exchange for upfront capital.
1.5. Bad Credit Merchant Cash Advances: This type of financing is based on future credit card sales and is often used by businesses with poor credit scores.
Section 2: Bad Credit Merchant Cash Advances
Bad credit merchant cash advances are a type of revenue-based financing. They involve receiving a lump sum of cash in exchange for a percentage of future credit card sales. This type of financing is popular among businesses with poor credit scores because it does not require a personal guarantee or collateral.
2.1. How do bad credit merchant cash advances work?
A bad credit merchant cash advance provider will evaluate your business's credit card sales history to determine the amount of the advance. You will then receive a lump sum of cash, typically between 100% and 200% of your monthly credit card sales. In return, you will pay back the advance plus fees through a percentage of your future credit card sales until the advance is paid off.
2.2. What are the benefits of bad credit merchant cash advances?
The main benefit of bad credit merchant cash advances is that they are easy to obtain, even for businesses with poor credit scores. Additionally, they do not require personal guarantees or collateral, making them a safer option for business owners who may not have assets to secure the loan.
2.3. What are the drawbacks of bad credit merchant cash advances?
The main drawback of bad credit merchant cash advances is that they can be expensive. The fees associated with this type of financing can be higher than traditional loans, and the repayment period can be longer. Additionally, businesses that experience a decline in credit card sales may struggle to make payments.
Section 3: Applying Bad Credit Merchant Cash Advances to Your Business
Now that we understand the basics of bad credit merchant cash advances, let's consider how this type of financing could benefit your business.
3.1. How can bad credit merchant cash advances be used?
Bad credit merchant cash advances can be used for a variety of purposes, including covering expenses related to inventory, equipment, marketing, and employee salaries. They can also be used to provide working capital during periods of low sales.
3.2. How much can you borrow with a bad credit merchant cash advance?
The amount you can borrow with a bad credit merchant cash advance depends on your business's credit card sales history. Typically, you can borrow between 100% and 200% of your monthly credit card sales.
3.3. How long does it take to receive a bad credit merchant cash advance?
The application process for a bad credit merchant cash advance can be quick, with funds being deposited into your bank account within a few days of approval.
Conclusion:
Understanding business financing alternatives is essential for entrepreneurs seeking to start or grow their businesses. While bad credit merchant cash advances may not be the right choice for every business, they can provide a valuable source of funding for those with poor credit scores. By carefully considering the pros and cons of this type of financing, business owners can make informed decisions about their financing needs.

Lesson: Core Value - Communication

## Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about the core value of communication and why it is important. Communication is the process of sharing information and ideas with others. It involves both speaking and listening skills. Good communication is essential in all aspects of life, including personal relationships, work, and school.

## Section 2: Theoretical Concepts
Communication involves several steps, including encoding, transmitting, decoding, and interpreting. Encoding refers to the process of converting thoughts into words or symbols. Transmitting involves sending the message through a medium, such as speech or writing. Decoding refers to the process of understanding the message, while interpreting involves understanding the meaning behind the message.

## Section 3: Practical Examples
Good communication skills are essential in the workplace. For example, during a team meeting, a manager may communicate the goals and objectives of a project to the team members. The team members then decode the message and interpret what is expected of them. They may ask clarifying questions to ensure they understand the message fully.

In personal relationships, communication is essential for building trust and understanding. For example, couples may communicate their feelings and needs to each other, and listen actively to understand each other's perspective.

## Section 4: Real-World Scenarios
Good communication skills are also essential in social situations. For example, during a job interview, the candidate must communicate their skills and experiences to the interviewer. The interviewer may ask questions to gain a better understanding of the candidate's skills and experiences.

In politics, communication is essential for leaders to communicate their policies and ideas to the public. Politicians may use speeches, debates, and media interviews to communicate their messages effectively.

## Section 5: Self-Debating Discussions
Why is active listening an essential part of communication?
- Active listening involves paying attention to the speaker, asking clarifying questions, and summarizing what they said to ensure understanding.
- It shows respect for the speaker and builds trust and understanding.
- It helps to avoid misunderstandings and miscommunications.

## Glossary
- Encoding: The process of converting thoughts into words or symbols.

Topic 1: Types of Gynecologists

There are several types of gynecologists, including general gynecologists, obstetrician-gynecologists (OB-GYNs), and reproductive endocrinologists. General gynecologists focus on the health of the female reproductive system and can treat certain conditions, but do not perform deliveries. OB-GYNs are trained in both obstetrics and gynecology and can manage both pregnancy and non-pregnancy related issues. Reproductive endocrinologists specialize in hormonal disorders and fertility issues.

Topic 2: Choosing a Specialist

If you have a specific condition or need, it may be helpful to choose a specialist. For example, if you are experiencing infertility issues, you may want to see a reproductive endocrinologist. If you are planning on having children, you may want to choose an OB-GYN who also has experience in deliveries.

Topic 3: Location and Convenience

Consider the location and convenience of the gynecologist's office when choosing a provider. You may want to choose someone who is close to your home or work, or who has office hours that fit your schedule.

Topic 4: Insurance Coverage

Make sure that the gynecologist you choose is in-network with your insurance plan. This will help you avoid high out-of-pocket costs.

Section 2: Preparing for Your First Appointment

Topic 1: Gather Information

Before your first appointment, gather information about your family history, any medications you are currently taking, and any symptoms you are experiencing. This will help your gynecologist get a better understanding of your health history and current state.

Topic 2: Create a List of Questions

Create a list of questions to ask your gynecologist during your appointment. This will help you remember to discuss important topics and ensure that you have all the information you need.

Topic 3: Bring a Support Person

If you feel more comfortable having someone with you during your appointment, bring a support person such as a friend or family member.

Section 3: What to Look For in a Gynecologist

Topic 1: Bedside Manner

Look for a gynecologist who has a good bedside manner and makes you feel comfortable. You should feel free to ask questions and discuss your concerns without feeling judged or rushed.

Topic 2: Experience and Expertise

Choose a gynecologist who has experience and expertise in the area you need. If you have a specific condition or concern, look for a provider who has experience treating that issue.

Topic 3: Communication Skills

Look for a gynecologist who communicates well and is easy to understand. They should be able to explain medical terms and procedures in a way that is easy to understand.

Topic 4: Availability and Follow-Up Care

Choose a gynecologist who is available for appointments when you need them and who provides adequate follow-up care. You should feel confident that your provider will be available for any questions or concerns you have after your appointment.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, choosing a gynecologist is an important decision that requires careful consideration. By following the steps outlined in this lesson, you can find a provider who meets your needs and provides quality care. Remember to consider the type of gynecologist you need, prepare for your first appointment, and look for certain qualities in a provider. With these tips in mind, you can find a gynecologist who is right for you.

**Lesson: Introduction to Software Packages**

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn about software packages, their dependencies, and how they work together to create a functional system.

**Section 1: What is a Software Package?**

A software package is a collection of software programs or libraries that work together to perform a specific task or set of tasks. These packages are designed to be used by developers to create more complex software applications.

**Section 2: Dependencies**

When a software package is created, it may rely on other packages to function properly. These packages are called dependencies. If a package has a dependency on another package, it means that the first package cannot function without the second package being installed as well.

**Section 3: Reverse Dependencies**

Reverse dependencies are packages that depend on other packages. This means that if a package is removed or updated, the packages that depend on it may need to be updated or removed as well.

**Section 4: Libraries Dependencies**

Libraries are collections of functions and data structures that can be used by developers to write software programs. When a library is created, it may have dependencies on other libraries to function properly. These dependencies are called library dependencies.

**Section 5: Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about software packages, their dependencies, and how they work together to create a functional system. We also learned about reverse dependencies and library dependencies. By understanding these concepts, developers can create more complex software applications that are reliable and efficient.

**Glossary:**
- **Software Package:** A collection of software programs or libraries that work together to perform a specific task or set of tasks.
- **Dependencies:** Packages that a software package relies on to function properly.
- **Reverse Dependencies:** Packages that depend on other packages.
- **Library Dependencies:** Dependencies that a library has on other libraries to function properly.
