TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/04/14 -- Merus Labs International Inc. ("Merus" or the "Company") (TSX:MSL)(NASDAQ:MSLI) today announced that it has entered into a definitive acquisition agreement with Dacha Strategic Metals Inc. ("Dacha") (TSX VENTURE:DSM) pursuant to which Dacha will complete the balance of the previously announced investment of at least $11 million in Merus.
As contemplated by the letter agreement between Dacha and Merus which was announced on June 10, 2014, the acquisition agreement provides that Merus will acquire from Dacha, in exchange for common shares of Merus ("Merus Shares"), a new subsidiary to be incorporated by Dacha ("Newco") and to which Dacha will contribute a minimum of $6 million cash by way of equity subscriptions. The number of Merus Shares that Dacha will receive in exchange for Newco will equal Newco's cash on hand at closing divided by $1.70. Upon closing of the transaction, Merus will pay to Dacha a transaction fee, payable in the common shares of Merus based on a price of $1.70 per share, equal to 3.5% of the aggregate value of the Merus Shares exchanged for Newco.
Dacha purchased $5 million of Merus Shares at a price of $1.70 per share as part of the Merus bought deal financing completed on June 19, 2014. Therefore, upon completion of the transactions contemplated by the acquisition agreement, it is expected that Dacha will have acquired a total of at least $11 million of Merus Shares at a price of $1.70 per share.
Completion of the transaction is conditional upon the conditions to closing set forth in the acquisition agreement, which include receipt of all necessary stock exchange approvals, receipt of Dacha shareholder approval and no material adverse change with respect to Merus or Dacha. If the transaction has not been completed by August 31, 2014, either party may terminate the acquisition agreement.
Dacha will be seeking shareholder approval for the sale of Newco to Merus at Dacha's annual and special meeting of shareholders on August 11, 2014. Certain Dacha shareholders have signed voting support agreements with Merus pursuant to which they have agreed that they will vote their Dacha common shares in favour of the sale of Newco at the meeting.

Organizations planning enterprise data center consolidation and modernization projects are faced with a challenging, costly reality. Requirements to deploy modern, cloud-native applications simultaneously with traditional client/server applications are almost impossible to achieve with hardware-centric enterprise infrastructure. Compute and network infrastructure are fast moving down a software-defined path, but storage has been a laggard. Until now.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

JAL 787 fire @Logan today
Here's a report on the fire.
Report Abuse
Hmmm: "the latest of several electrical and mechanical mishaps involving the much-anticipated high-tech plane known as the Dreamliner."
Maybe it's not ready for prime time?
Report Abuse
i have reservations on that flight for next fall... i hope they have all the electrical problems worked out on them before then
Report Abuse
Bob, hopefully I'll test 787 for you in the spring. Maybe I should be renamed sassy_guinea pig!
Report Abuse
Having slept for much of this flight when flying to Tokyo and back last year, I do not recall whether or not the aircraft crashed and burned en route.
Report Abuse
Did you walk in your sleep Don and do something to the batteries?
Report Abuse
It did go down....this is Don's after life
Report Abuse
thank god, he won't be coming to GTG's in his bath robe anymore
Report Abuse
That "bath robe" is what you have to wear, all of the time, when you are in Japan, or on a Japanese aeroplane.
Report Abuse
Today the Dreamliner was "fixed", and made it to the end of the runway before they turned back. Oil leak. They better get this thing up and running properly. Not good for Boeing .
Report Abuse
can i borrow yours?? will it fit?
Report Abuse
I was about to book my JAL non stop flight on the Dreamliner, but have decided to wait a while before doing so. I want to be sure it is truly a non stop flight, and not one that will need to makes several stops for fixups, before it even leaves Logan Airport. lol It's probably being a little overcautious, but they are not the only airline that flies to Japan.
Report Abuse
shelleyk, when is your trip?
I'm hoping they get this fixed soon. The turning back at the end of the runway thing gives me nightmares.
On the bright side we're only taking the Dreamliner on the return so at least we would be stuck at Narita rather than delayed outbound.
Report Abuse
I was thinking of going in April, but I am now leaning toward Oct. No hotels have been booked and no definite plans have been made. I'd like to take the non stop to Japan, so I think I'll just wait and see how things develop. I'm sure Boeing will want to fix the problems ASAP as their stock went down today, probably because of the Dreamliner problems. Sassy-cat, when are you going?
Report Abuse
<<Today the Dreamliner was "fixed", and made it to the end of the runway before they turned back. Oil leak. >>
My understanding is that it was a different 787 that had the oil problem, I believe the oil problem was fixed and it took off later
Report Abuse
Shelleyk, I'm going in April. Flights and hotels mostly booked. Still undecided on where to stay one night.
October or November would probably have been my first choice but had to work around school vacation.
Geordie, that sounds a little more encouraging.
Report Abuse
Problem is that with a new airplane like the 787, any problem is likely to be picked up by the press. And when there's a delay 2 days in a row, OMG! If any of these issues had happened in an older model (and such things do, all the time), it would have caused little or no notice.
In fact, though, the JAL BOS-NRT flight has a pretty decent on-time record. I went to FlightAware and looked at the history since mid-November. Since November 15, I counted 4 times that the flight was delayed for an hour or more:
Nov 22 - delayed 1:35
Dec 4 - 5:30
Dec 8 - 1:30
Dec 23 - 1:04
For comparison's sake, and also to take a shot at the hated United Airlines, I looked at the same dates for United flight from SFO to Seoul (UA 893), flown by the trusty 747:
Nov 15 - delayed 1:06
Dec 1 - 2:53
Dec 22 - 1:55
Dec 23 - 1:20
Dec 26 - 2:10
Jan 5 - 1:37
It's not unusual for Trans-Pacific flights, especially to have more delays than shorter flights, as there's a much lower tolerance for things that might not be working properly.
I would have no hesitation in booking the BOS-NRT flight on JAL. It's a good airline, and saving several hours en route is a big benefit.
Report Abuse
Latest on this sounds like Boeing is having a very bad week then.
Report Abuse
Boeing has instigated a review of the Dreamliner but will not take the planes out of service during the process.
I think a review is a sound idea and hope that if there are any teething problems with the new planes they can be swiftly addressed.
Report Abuse
Boeing didn't instigate it, the US regulator it
Report Abuse
Geordie, you're absolutely correct as it's stated in the first line of the article linked.
Just checking if anyone read this stuff.
Report Abuse
Another flight problem today in Japan
Something is definatly wrong with this plane.
Report Abuse
ANA and JAL have grounded all their 787's until further notice so that they can inspect them
Report Abuse
More bad news and this is also having financial repercussions for the Japanese suppliers of the lithium batteries, carbon fiber and the wings manufacturer of the Dreamliner
Report Abuse
More Dreamliners grounded.
Report Abuse
An Ethippian 787 was on fire today at Heathrow, no news as to the cause

In 2011, I graduated from Southern University and A&M College with a Bachelor of Music degree in Trumpet Performance/Music Education. Having both degrees has enhanced my teaching studio for I can give the best of both cases to my students either going for education or performance. I have a studio where I students can be recorded during lessons to enhance their own learning abilities.

There are several different, but vey important elements to becoming a good piano player. It takes time to master the basic skills that will set you on your way to excellence. For beginners, the lessons will focus on elementary piano knowledge and technique, such as learning all the notes of the piano, hand and finger techniques for playing, learning scales and chords, as well as some music theory like reading sheet music, chord charts etc. These basic skills can then be applied to simple songs. Students with these foundations in place can expect to cover things like, diminished and other chord types, sight reading, and playing more challenging compositions. Lessons for advanced students might cover topics such as improvisation, glissando, or the study of a specific genre of playing or composer, such as Jazz piano or Johann Sebastian Bach.
Taking piano lessons as an adult is a great way to learn a new skill and have fun at the same time. The instructors in our network can help you learn the very basics of piano if you are a beginner, or if you are an advanced player they can help you refine your skills. Adult lessons will focus on learning the technique of the instrument, including how to read music, chords, and learning repertoire
Most students start out by learning to play on a keyboard or digital piano. The most reputable keyboards brands are Yamaha, Roland and Casio, and can be purchased from most good music instrument retailers. Students should look to buy a keyboard with 88 weighted keys, as this will most resemble the playability of a real piano. At a minimum, 61 keys will suffice for most songs and practice. Keyboards are portable and can be played with headphones, making them highly convenient for practice. That said, if it is within your means to buy an acoustic piano, it will provide the best learning experience.
In-home lessons are what the majority of our students request. Not only does this provide a convenient means to study music, but there is no difference in the quality of lessons done in-home or in-studio as they are typically structured the same. The main benefit of in-home lessons is the reduction in travel time to another location, and additionally the student may be able to focus better in their own home since they are familiar with it. Piano lessons in the home offer a practical choice for your family for learning the skill of playing a musical instrument.
Our recommended starting age for piano is 4 or 5, when students are capable of playing the keys properly and have sufficient strength in the fingers and hands. Young students also should have begun learning to count and to read. No matter what your age may be, the piano is an excellent introduction to the fundamentals of music, including music theory and basic composition techniques.
Review by Gillian
Vince is a great drum teacher for my 8 year old son. We go to his house where he has a studio setup with a huge drum set. He has been very patient but really holds my son responsible for learning the right way to play. After about 5 lessons, my son is playing some rhythms on the drums and reading music. He looks forward to his lessons with Vince.
Review by Roberta
My 4 year old son is quite energetic. Another piano teacher tried to teach him before Peter and could not get my son to listen to him at all. That teacher told me that my son had no interest and that we needed to wait before having my son take lessons. Peter started teaching my son a few weeks later. He quickly developed a great rapport with my son. I was astounded when my son sat down and listened to Peter during the first lesson. Peter has remarkable patience and is a natural working with children. He knows when to follow the child's lead. My son is very interested in how the piano works, so Peter takes the time to teach him about this. He is able to use my son's interests (superheroes, Lego, Star Wars, etc.) to refocus him back to playing the piano. Between lessons, he brainstorms on how he can teach my son better. For example, my son was playing the notes, but not understanding rhythm, so Peter looked into it and came back the next week with a new plan which helped. My son looks forward to his lesson every week. When he hears the doorbell ring on lesson day, he exclaims, "Yay! Peter's here!"
Review by Howard
We value Chelsea for the quality of her lessons, but also for the flexibility of her schedule. She has worked around family vacations, impromptu summer camps and the upcoming school year. Emily is better prepared to start middle school band this year due to flute lessons from Chelsea and we plan to continue the lessons for the foreseeable future.
Review by Yury
I would like to thank Polina for the series of classical piano lessons I've taken recently. Polina is a fantastic teacher and a high class performer, and I'm really happy I had a chance to meet her! I believe anyone can benefit from the teaching method Polina is practicing regardless of the student proficiency - from beginners to advanced performers. It was a pleasure for me to study classical piano courses under the guidance of such an intelligent & professional teacher! Without doubt, my playing technique has improved a lot and I have signed up for the new classes online already.
Review by Timothyfullard
We've only had a few lessons with Elisa, but so far we really like her. She has a lot of great suggestions for solo pieces as well as orchestral music that involves all 3 of my boys, while also including some Christian music that we can play at church. She is very patient in explaining the lessons and encouraging!
Review by Jermain
Mrs. Regnarene is an awesome teacher!!! She found musical aids that appealed to my 5 year old daughter and used them to help teach her piano. She has a lot of patience and I could tell she puts in the work before class to have a lesson ready for my daughter. She is always punctual, friendly and respectful. I would recommend her to any parents who want to start their kids off with a good foundation in piano. Jermain T. Riverview, FL
Review by Lauren Segal
Ed is THE best instructor I've ever had and I've had many instructors over the years in various fields of study. Ed met us at a music store to help choose a guitar, this is after he first called and asked all the right questions. He's supplied my daughter with just the right amount of paper work and just the right amount of new techniques. By this I mean to say that Ed connects with the pace my daughter learns at. I highly recommend Ed AND Musika.

Brett is an accomplished musician, who shared his knowledge at a level that my five year old understands. He is polite and relaxed in his mannerisms but take a serious approach to focusing on the lesson. He is very patient and engaging with the attention span you'd expect from a kindergartener. His motto ever is "sometime you learn faster by going slow"
Review by Brad Schimmer
I have been playing the drums for about 5 years and I have to say that Alvaro is very patient. He has opened me up to new styles of music and I can now play a Songo groove! What I liked most was that he was flexible in what I wanted him to teach me and would also bring in new material specifically to what I wanted him to show me. Overall, great patient teacher and would highly recommend! Thanks Alvaro!

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

Implications - This fantastic application of technology is a great example of an innovative concept being combined with pop culture in order to simultaneously amuse and amaze consumers. When a product embraces a state-of-the-art idea and couples it with something that consumers know and love, the result is oftentimes a product that has widespread appeal well beyond the limitations of either characteristic on its own.

SYDNEY (AFP) - Australia will play Egypt and the United Arab Emirates in international friendlies ahead of next January's AFC Asian Cup, Football Federation Australia said on Friday.
The Socceroos will face Egypt in Cairo on November 17 and the UAE in Abu Dhabi on January 5, the FFA said.
Australian head coach Holger Osieck said the internationals were an important lead-up to the Asian Cup in Qatar.
"In the past I have had the opportunity to coach a national team against Egypt in Cairo and they are always a very tough opponent to play against," the German said in a statement.
"In terms of the UAE match, with both nations having qualified for the Asian Cup, we will be looking to finalise our preparations before we arrive in Doha for the tournament."
The Socceroos have played the top-ranked African nation Egypt once before in the semi-finals of the 1987 President?s Cup tournament in Seoul, winning 4-3 on penalties after a scoreless match.
Australia have yet to face the UAE at senior level.

When being good at your job isn't so good
I had my internship evaluation this afternoon. Overall, it was great, I was really pleased with the feedback — I scored the highest points possible on the school evaluation form for reliability, independence, leadership and cooking skills. My knife skills, which is what I needed to work on the most, scored the 2nd highest mark. We talked a lot about the balance between speed and accuracy when it comes to knife skills. When I first started the internship, I was accurate, but very slow. During the internship I went supersonic and sloppy. In the last month, I've found a nice balance of speed and accuracy.
The only negative, which my supervisor said he saw as a positive, was that a few of the cooks felt that I was too eager and proactive, asked too many questions and tried to do too much, which they said was off-putting. My feelings were a little hurt at first. I've always strived to do my best no matter where I've worked, whether for myself or someone else. I figured though, if the worst thing someone could say about you is that you're proactive and eager (an overachiever) at your job, you're in a fairly good place.
The feedback I received on the muffin project and 1000-word story was just what I needed. The editor, who had come from Gourmet Magazine, was direct, to the point, and had helpful advice on how to better develop my writing voice in general, and also for ATK's magazines. Story aside, she said the flavor of the muffin was great — it was moist, lemony and had a nice crumb texture. She noted the top of the muffin was a little pale, and the top had mushroomed and spilled — both signs that the oven temperature was not high enough when the muffins first went into the oven. Either the oven wasn't preheated properly, or the oven wasn't calibrated. Regardless, it was a great exercise to go through because I never would have thought to address those issues in the recipe. I just have assumed in the past that the home cook would have let their oven preheat to the right temperature.
My last day is tomorrow — a 4 hr. workday, and then lunch with SFH, my carpool pal and editorial assistant at the magazine; I will miss her dearly. I'll miss the girls, too — AP, KC, AW and RR and I have become great friends. I'm so proud of them and glad we'll be staying in touch; they're kind of like my Miranda, Carrie, Charlotte and Samantha.
Saturday I start the drive back to Orlando; 21 hours. My husband promised a pizza would be waiting for me when I get home on Sunday, which will be the perfect day — a giant hug from my husband and daughter, and pizza. It doesn't get any better than that.

Product Description
Thompson's work combines passion and intellect, the gifts of the poet, the narrator and the analyst (Eric Hobsbawm Independent)
A dazzling vindication of the lives and aspirations of the then - and now once again - neglected culture of working-class England (Martin Kettle Observer)
Superbly readable . . . a moving account of the culture of the self-taught in an age of social and intellectual deprivation (Asa Briggs Financial Times)
An event not merely in the writing of English history but in the politics of our century (Michael Foot Times Literary Supplement)
The greatest of our socialist historians (Terry Eagleton New Statesman)
From the Inside Flap
"Thompson's book has been called controversial, but perhaps only because so many have forgotten how explosive England was during the Regency and the early reign of Victoria. Without any reservation, The Making of the English Working Class is the most important study of those days since the classic work of the Hammonds."--"Commentary
"Mr. Thompson's deeply human imagination and controlled passion help us to recapture the agonies, heroisms and illusions of the working class as it made itself. No one interested in the history of the English people should fail to read his book."--London "Times Literary Supplement --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Above all Thompson for the most part works hard to get a balanced view sometimes from limited information and keeps his tongue in his cheek much of the time. He is witty and cheerful, and the book is full of quotations from original sources. A great read if you want to really understand what was going on when Britain became 'great'.
It is true that Thompson displayed support for Marxist ideas and was a member of the CPGB until 1956. However, his theories on the development of social class are far from doctrinaire. Whereas Althusser in France was developing a much more structuralist approach to class, Thompson believed that working-class agency lay at the heart of the development of working-class culture and politics. The prefaces outline this approach very clearly and are, for me at least, some of the most important parts of this book. He also looks at traditional forms of radicalism and saw in England the continuation of these as the working class developed and bonded together to face the new world of industrialisation. This is reflected in other works by Thompson where what was seen as corruption in government was often the source of discontent rather than the lack of democracy. However, both added up to the same thing for radicals: the need for a political system much more open to widespread participation. Traditional forms of discontent, such as rioting, were also maintained and helped to demonstrate that the working class were not just victims of structural changes to England's economy and society.
In 'The making of the English working class', Thompson also pays homage to the role of religion in working-class life demonstrating that Thompson is aware of how rich and vibrant the working-class experience was.Read more ›

Qatar to post 10% economic growth
Qatar's economic growth is projected to hit 9.8 percent in 2012 after it posted strong 19.9 percent growth in 2011 due to the completion of the gas liquefying project and other related projects, along with higher oil prices and increased production in non-oil sectors, stated the International Bank of Qatar (IBQ).
Liquefied gas production, the major driver of the Qatari economy in the last decade, reached its maximum level of 77 million tons in 2011. Qatar also has made great progress in producing and marketing gas derivatives such as petrochemicals and fertilizers.
Gas production is expected to grow 7 percent in 2012 while oil production will most likely keep to its current level of 0.8 million bpd in the next two years.
Qatar is also making great endeavors to diversify its economy through broadening and developing the non-oil sector as is outlined in the national development strategy 2011-2016 and Qatar's national vision of 2030.
The country is also set to spend a total of $125 billion, $65 billion of which is from the government, on infrastructure over the next five years. These ambitious infrastructure projects will give momentum to non-oil sectors, particularly financial services, trade and tourism. (Source: english.nuqudy.com)

Bradford's narrative is a testament to the hardship and perserverance these newcomers faced as they overcame great adversity to eventually become a beacon of hope to a new generation of future Englishmen and women. I recommend everyone read and not forget the sacrifices made by these brave, yet resolute Pioneers of colonial America.
Bradford was one of my 7th great-great grandfathers, Elder Wm. Brewster, my 8th g-g grandfather, John & Priscilla another set of 7th g-g grandparents, (one of their daughters (in my line) married Alexander Standish, son Capt. Myles, etc...So I have been familiar with their story all my life.
I am intent on seeing that each member of my family have a copy of this book - my most treasured volume I got on eBay for $5...when it came in the mail, I was astounded to find it is the 1898 edition!...titled; "Bradford's History."
Last year, The History Channel put out a new movie: "The Desperate Crossing" - Using Shakespearean actors, the scenery, photography, adventure - well, if you liked the movie Master and Commander, this story - finally the WHOLE story of that intrepid band who sailed on the Mayflower - is every bit as spectacular. I have waited all my life for such a true and complete movie of the Pilgrims of Plymouth.
It's available in DVD here at Amazon. I just bought 3 more...to give to my children and their kids for Thanksgiving...and it will be shown here after our VERY traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
We all benefit from the sacrifices and perseverance of the Pilgrims. Surely, Governor Bradford's hope, expressed in his Journal, came to pass in a greater manner than even he could have envisioned when he wrote, at the end: "Thus out of small beginnings ... AS ONE SMALL CANDLE MAY LIGHT A THOUSAND, S0 THE LIGHT HERE KINDLED HATH SHONE UNTO MANY, yea in some sort to our whole nation;"
You need to be prepared to pick and choose what you read here. The lengthy accounts of the disputes between the New Plymouth Colony and the investors (the adventurers) become tedious. So too the disputes with their business agents and others who defrauded the colonists. I would suggest skimming over these.
I read with interest the relations with the Pequots and other Indian tribes, the starvation, the abandonment of socialism, and the relation with the Dutch, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and the colonization of the Connecticut River Valley.
Overall I'm more well educated for having read this book, but I have to confess that I found it hard.

I guess… Who do you know? That may have changed Your life. Where do you go? To get away From strife. Why did I grow? Thinking that the past Was gone. Why didn't I say? The summer's never Too Long. I guess… How do you hide? Seemingly a Helpless pawn. Do you survive? Without your queen. Weapons are drawn.
Did you confide? To God Sunday of 2004. Were you shamed? Of thirty-eight years, Never turning one more. I guess… For now. What do you fear? When facing fear In the end. Are you sincere?

Sinkhole Reportedly Swallows Part of Florida Resort
Tuesday August 13th, 2013 - 9:52AM

CLERMONT, FL—A section of a three-story resort located here collapsed and sank into a 60-ft.-wide sinkhole late Sunday that forced guests out of their rooms, according to a news report from CNN. The Summer Bay Resort is located about 10 minutes from Walt Disney World.
According to CNN, guests called for help before the collapse, saying they heard loud noises and windows cracking. All guests inside the buildings—an estimated 35 people—were evacuated before the first structure crumbled. No injuries were reported.
Tommy Carpenter, manager for the Lake County Emergency Management Division, told the New York Times, "Sinkholes are, unfortunately, a reality of living in Florida," which is rich in karst—formations that include layers of soluble rock, mainly limestone, under the soil.
Randall Orndorff of the United States Geological Survey also told the New York Times that in the area between Tampa and Orlando, often called "sinkhole alley," four other sinkholes had been reported since the spring.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.
