Riding the Wave: Uplifting Labor Organizations Through Immigration Reform

In recent years, labor unions in the United States have embraced the immigrants’ rights movement, cognizant that the very future of organized labor depends on its ability to attract immigrant workers and integrate them into union ranks. At the same time, the immigrants’ rights movement has been lauded for its successful organizing models, often drawing upon the vitality and ingenuity of immigrant-based worker centers, which themselves have emerged as alternatives to traditional labor unions. And while the labor and immigrants’ rights movements have engaged in some fruitful collaborations, their mutual support has failed to radically reshape the trajectory of either cause. In this Article, I argue that the ongoing legislative debates around immigration reform provide a unique opportunity to reimagine and revitalize traditional organized labor and to strengthen newer, immigrant-centered worker organizations. In my view, this can be accomplished by positioning unions and worker organizations as key actors in immigration processes (for both temporary and permanent immigration) and in any likely legalization initiative. Their specific roles might include sponsoring or indirectly supporting certain visa applications, facilitating the portability of employment-related visas from one employer to another, offering training opportunities to meet immigration requirements, assisting with legalization applications, leading immigrant integration initiatives, and more. Apart from the instrumental objective of attracting immigrants to the ranks of unions and worker organizations, this set of proposals will position these institutions as sites where the virtues of leadership, democratic participation, and civic engagement can be forged in new Americans. Indeed, these virtues coincide with the founding values of most U.S. labor unions; to the extent some unions have strayed from these values, the proposals provide an external imperative to reorient and rebrand unions as core civil society institutions. Moreover, immigrant worker centers have already become known for their focus on leadership development, democratic decision making, and civic education, and are therefore uniquely positioned to play this role. This convergence of utilitarian and transcendent objectives, in the current sociopolitical moment, justifies a special position for unions and worker organizations in the U.S. immigration system

Importance of Kala Vichar, Pathya and Apathya in Pancha Karma

The Ayurveda mentioned several principles and practices related to the human health and signify role of Kala (time) for therapeutic procedure. Similarly the consideration of concept of Pathya and Apathya also play important role towards the health benefits of Ayurveda therapy like Panchakarma.

The Transformative Potential of Attorney Bilingualism

In contemporary U.S. law practice, attorney bilingualism is increasingly valued, primarily because it allows lawyers to work more efficiently and to pursue a broader range of professional opportunities. This purely functionalist conceptualization of attorney bilingualism, however, ignores the surprising ways in which multilingualism can enhance a lawyer\u27s professional work and can strengthen and reshape relationships among actors in the U.S. legal milieu. Drawing upon research from psychology, linguistics, and other disciplines, this Article advances a theory of the transformative potential of attorney bilingualism. Looking first to the development of lawyers themselves, the Article posits that attorneys who operate bilingually may, over time, enjoy cognitive advantages such as enhanced creative thinking and problem-solving abilities, a more analytical orientation to language, and greater communicative sensitivity. Moreover, the existence of lawyers who are fully immersed in the bilingual practice of law will transform and invigorate interactions between attorneys and limited English proficient (LEP) clients and, more broadly, among attorneys, the parties to a proceeding, and legal decision makers. Although many U.S. lawyers possess non-English language ability, few are equipped with the complement of knowledge, skills, and values needed to utilize that language ability effectively in a professional setting. Therefore, the Article also calls upon the legal profession to adopt a more rigorous approach to bilingual training and instruction and outlines a set of competencies that underlie effective bilingual lawyering. These competencies relate broadly to cross-cultural interactions, knowledge of foreign legal systems, specialized and versatile language ability, and verbal and nonverbal communication skills

Taxonomic Studies on the Daedaloid and Hexagonoid Polypores Form the Forest of Western Maharasta

For the present investigation the polypore fungi from the forests of Western Maharashtra were studied. Polypores are the wood rotting fungi that attack wood and play a major role in the processes of its decay. Two kinds of wood decay are distinguished the white rot and the brown rot. The collections were made from twelve different sites and sixty five specimens were critically examined with respect to their macro and micro morphological characters of the basidiocarp, cultural behaviour and enzyme tests. On the basis of these observations four genera, namely Daedalea Fr., Daedaleopsis Schroetl., Lenzites Fr. and Scenidium (Klotzsch.) O. Kuntz. and fifteen species namely, Daedalea africana, Daedalea quercina, Daedaleopsis nipponica, Daedaleopsis sibirica, Daedaleopsis  confragosa, Daedaleopsis flavida, Lenzites  acuta, Lenzites  adusta, Lenzites  vespacea, Lenzites  karnalensis, Lenzites  vernieri, Scinidium  capillaceum, Scinidium  apiarium, Scinidium  niam-niamensis, Scinidium  tenuis are separated. Out of these fifteen species of wood rotting polypores only two species Daedalea africana and Daedalea quercina are causing white rot and remaining thirteen species causes brown rot.       ÂÂ

A Rare Xanthogranulomatous Oophoritis Presenting as Ovarian Cancer

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is an uncommon form of chronic inflammation that is destructive to affected organs; it is characterized by the presence of lipid-filled macrophages with admixed lymphocytes, plasma cells, and neutrophils. Only a few cases of xanthogranulomatous oophoritis have been reported to date. We describe a rare case of xanthogranulomatous oophoritis with involvement of omentum
