Read your other comment and, thanks, I definitely learned something. I wasn't able to see the halos until I zoomed in, but they are definitely there, and yes it does make the photo seem mangled. That said, I don't usually open blo

Desk Control by a company called Linak. It's not the best app--I keep having to reconnect via the bluetooth--but for the price of the Bekant, and knowing I don't change heights often, it works for me.

Granted that H-1B visas should ostensibly be filled only for positions where it is difficult to find qualified American citizens or permanent residents, but in all honesty are the Department of Labor's allegations really that surprisin
