  Solar power is a competitive industry and the race is on to see which company or research team can devise the most efficient and cost-effective technology. Israel's Solaris Energy and France's EDF Group have joined forces to come up with a system that solves many of the issues that continue to plague most traditional applications of solar technology, including space and cost. Science Daily reports that the collaboration has resulted in floating solar power plants. The joint project has been running for some time and is now nearing the end of its second phase, namely construction of the prototype. It's hoped that by September 2011 they will be able to launch phase three, which is implementation of the technology accompanied by analysis and testing. Testing will take place over a period of nine months at Cadarache, in the South East of France, during which researchers will gain insight into how seasons and water levels affect productivity and performance.

  There is no situation which absolutely requires a private immigration lawyer. Be careful not to misread that. I didn't say that immigration lawyers aren't valuable; they just aren't required. The fact is that hiring an immigration attorney is a matter of preference. As an immigration attorney myself, I can safely say that some immigration matters probably do not need the attention of an immigration attorney.

Don't waste your money on an immigration attorney to do this for you. Other immigration matters, while seemingly straightforward to the untrained eye, can turn into an immigrant's worst nightmare if she omits something in her paperwork or admits something that gets her into immigration trouble that she wouldn't have otherwise been in. For example, an individual w...

  Immigration is often considered the building block of the United States of America. The whole country is populated by immigrants or families who once immigrated. Some states contain more immigrants than other, especially those border states which are neighbors to other countries. These differences along with political influence can cause the immigration laws to drastically change from state to state. There is currently a lot of discussion about illegal immigration and how it affects the country, but many illegal immigrants wish to be legal, they just need some guidance and assistance with the process. The state of Pennsylvania has an estimated 140,000 illegal immigrants and is experiencing an ongoing argument whether local or federal police should be controlling immigration, all of which is affecting the immigration law. Recently, a bill was proposed maintaining that all immigration issue is a federal issue, not the responsibility of Pennsylvania, and that state cops should not b...
