I'm on a conference call with my clients, discussing the production schedule for their exclusive, high-profile conference that is just weeks away. "We'll be adding another speaker to Thursday," the content producer is saying, when a sudden, high-pitched shriek pierces the conversation. A startled silence follows. "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to drop out of this call," I say quickly. "I'll get back to you as soon as I can."
I jump up from my desk and sprint down the hall to find my daughter in the bathroom, hovering over the toilet, miserable and wailing and very, very sick. I clean her up, put her to bed, take her temperature, decide 102.6 doesn't warrant a call to the doctor yet, bestow kisses and hugs and a plastic "just in case" bowl, clean up the bathroom, mentally add paper towels to the shopping list, start a load of laundry, and sit back down at my desk to draft a breezy yet apologetic email explaining my sudden departure from the phone call.
Mornings such as these can prompt a work-at-home parent to seriously question the wisdom of both having and eating this particular lifestyle cake. Sure, those who go to work at an actual workplace probably miss their kids during the day, but at least they don't have to get barfed on during meetings. People who stay home to be full-time parents may long for conversations with other adults, but at least they have the time and space (and casual clothing) preferred by 4 out of 5 barfing children.
For those of us who work from home, however, the dividing line isn't necessarily clear. The clothes get ruined, the phone calls interrupted, the kids' brains vaporized by the TV, the meetings missed and the parent? The parent is stretched taffy-thin and feels that no matter how hard she tries, she can never give 100% to anything, because everything else is always clamoring for her simultaneous attention.
Of course all parents learn – if they haven't already – how to multitask. In fact I think the first day we bring a child home we grow another set of arms as well as those proverbial eyes in the back of our heads. Yet there is something about the compartmentalization of work and family that is much harder to do without the geographic help of a separate workplace. Even if you can lock yourself in your home office (which, alas, I cannot – my desk is in the kitchen) and you have a babysitter watching the kids, there is clearly a universal law dictating the children hurl themselves repeatedly at your door demanding scissors and tape, or concuss themselves Evil Knieveling off the sofa, or convince the babysitter it really is ok to use the blender without a lid when said babysitter is afraid of heights, leaving you to climb the ladder and clean berry smoothie off the light fixtures.
None of which to say it can't be done; not in the least. We do it every day, hundreds and thousands of us. (I myself am getting a Sharpie tattoo on my elbow from my charming two-year-old as I type these very words.) But it is a challenge. Sometimes we need bolstering, be it in the form of a stiff drink, a foot massage or a good guffaw over a fellow parent's blog post.
So pass the pretzels, people, and tell me your Dickensian work-at-home woes. I am all tears.

Chromosome Numbers, Fertility and Rhizome Expression of Hybrids Between Grain Sorghum and Johnsongrass1
- Henry H. Hadley2
Hybrids between either male-fertile or genetic male-sterile grain sorghum and Johnsongrass included highly sterile 30-chromosome and relatively fertile 40-chromosome types. Hybrids between cytoplasmic male-sterile gram sorghum and Johnsongrass included highly sterile 30-chromosome and male-sterile 40-chromosome types. Rhizomes of the 30-chromosome types were vigorous; those of the 40-chromosome types were generally much weaker.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

In 1987, when I was a junior in high school, I visited the Soviet Union on a school trip. It was a life-altering experience, one I have written about before, and one I will write about again. Nothing prepared me for exposure to such an alien system of values and of government, but perhaps the greater surprise was just how crumbly the supposed monolith of Soviet rule really was. This was in the final days of the Soviet system, and you could see the signs of it everywhere. The petty corruption among street-level cops and officials, the eye-rolling from everyday Russians themselves over the government, and the willingness of people to engage in black-market trading with foreign visitors all added up to a system that was collapsing under the weight of itself.
One moment that really sticks out to me was early in the trip, when we were in Leningrad (what the Soviets had re-named St. Petersberg). Many of my fellow students were keen to trade on the black market for Russian military jackets, soccer jerseys ... any kind of USSR swag that wasn't really meant to travel outside of the country. American sneakers, jeans, cigarettes, portable electronics—these were all good as gold, and since we all had them on hand and since Americans stood out like sore thumbs, all we had to do was simply wait for people to offer to trade. It usually took only a few minutes.
One of my friends went after this with much enthusiasm, even going so far as selling some of his trading goods for rubles, which was problematic, since the ruble was a closed currency at the time, worthless outside of the country. His solution? He created a small money laundering scheme among fellow students who had converted dollars of rubles and spent them all, whom he then recruited to create sham transactions of rubles back to dollars on his behalf. He made a lot of money doing this. And of course, he totally got away with it.
When we were in Leningrad, my friend and I roomed together, and he clearly outlined his plans for the day, which included another one of his dealings with the black market. As he spoke about this brazenly, I put my finger to my lips and worriedly pointed to the radio transmitter mounted in clear sight on the wall of our room. My friend laughed, put his mouth next to the bug and said, "Lenin is a weenie." As my face turned ashen, he said that if anybody was actually listening, they'd be to the room in just a few minutes. Of course, nobody was listening, and nobody came. It was of little comfort to me at the time, as I had—and still have—an acute allergy to gulags. But the episode really opened my eyes to the notion that you can have the most restrictive laws on record, but they are meaningless if nobody enforces them. Time and again, I saw this during my trip, whether it was people bribing cops to let them take photos of government buildings that should not be photographed, smuggling petty contraband outside of the country, whatever. There were the rules as written and the rules as enforced, and they occupied two entirely different worlds altogether.
As we come to the end of the first 100 days of President Trump's administration, there has been a lot of effort to scale back or dismantle much of the regulatory apparatus of previous administrations. And while those efforts have met with mixed success, the reality is that even in areas where a fullbore dismantling had not yet occurred (the EPA is a good example), maybe blowing these agencies up isn't necessary. Maybe all that has to be done is to defang regulatory enforcement, which accomplishes the same thing. After all, enforcement trends come and go; some laws are in vogue for use one year, then get dropped in favor of something else. The FCPA has been on the books for some 40 years. It hasn't been a weapon of choice for regulators until 10 years ago.
My Soviet story really isn't unique, as any regulatory apparatus inevitably hits two problems: available resources and strength of will. Over a long enough timeline, either or both of these will run out if there is not a sincerely felt need to uphold the law. Right now, we're not really seeing that among aspects of the federal government that rank low on the new administration's list of priorities. And while the first 100 days of the Trump administration have been interesting, even more telling will be the next 265, and how the overall levels of enforcement change (or don't) at bellwether agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Justice Department, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Whatever has been promised as a regulatory agenda going forward, what will really matter is how many people are reminded of it in terms of non-prosecution agreements, deferred prosecution agreements, fines, and jail time.
See you in 265 days.

By: Cletus Emoche Agada.
Let me join millions of your Supporters across the country to extend my heartfelt congratulations on your well-deserved victory at the just concluded rerun polls.
I have argued amongst friends and foes alike that in the last 16 years, you have been the best Senator Nigeria has produced and I am glad to inform you that as at today, no one has been able to name anyone better, the very reason while I still hold on to that belief.
Even though I never met you as a person nor benefitted anything from your sojourn in the Senate in the last 16 years, neither was I given a penny by anyone to campaign for you, I took Solace in Jesus' saying that "as much as you've done to this my brother, so you've done to me" because I believe you did a lot for my Idoma 'brothers' since Democracy returned to Nigeria in 1999.
The nullification of your election by the Election Appeal Tribunal was a blessing in disguise because for 16 years, your traducers have succeeded in convincing the undiscerning that you have never won an election before but only rely on incumbency power of the PDP backed by state machinery to rig elections. it would have been a great injustice to you as a person and the great sense of judgment of our people who continuously returned you to the Senate if an opportunity like the one that presented itself on 20th February never came. It was an opportunity to lay to rest all the assumptions of the past and I am glad that neither you nor the Idoma nation was found wanting when it mattered most.
As one of those who campaigned vigorously for you both on social media and amongst family and friends who are predominantly APC, I can say without fear of contradiction that it wasn't an easy battle, and it will be good if I can share some of the lessons learned from the field with you because of tomorrow as it is generally believed that post mortem is not for the dead but for the living.
Firstly, your "I don't give a damn" posture of the past made life very difficult for us.
As I said earlier, I don't believe you could have done better than you did for our people in the last 16 years considering the fact that people that served as Chief Executives did less, but while you labour to sow good seeds in the land, you watch the enemy sow thorns in the heart of the people as you look the other way.
In one of the private mails I exchanged with one of your supporters [Oyigebe Snr], I had told him how you are making the work very difficult for us by failing to appoint a son of the soil as your Media aide, the media team of the opposition was led by one Fair Weather Hungry Engineer of Lies and Abuses, but the Advantage they had was that their post was always viewed by the very people who were to vote in the election, if I were to comment on their wall, at least 50 members of my family and friends will become aware of the thread and it continues with the multiplier effect. But for your camp, press statements and pictures were always released by Paul Mumeh to the national media who has limited reach amongst our people and were not in any position to determine the outcome of the election.
As someone from Otukpa, the Ai olala phobia which you were rumoured to have introduced into Idoma Politics is still very much alive in the mind of our people, yet with the likes of Jerry Agada, Abba Moro, Professor Alachi, Professor Ujah, Anebi, Adikwu and many others from Enone whom you helped into one position of power or the other, it will be uncharitable for anyone to accuse you of having any bias or prejudice towards the Enone people, but how will they know if they are not told.
I will recommend that on your return to the Senate, you appoint Prince Yemi Itodo as your Media aide. You are no more the Senate President and you now owe your allegiance to the people of Benue South 100%, surrounding yourself with people who knows and understand the language of majority of your constituents will always be an advantage. I don't know Mr. Itodo as a person so that am not accused of campaigning for him, but I think he did some great job during the campaign. the fact that we believe Hon Hassan Saleh is the best Rep from Zone C in the 7th Assembly is to the eternal credit of Mr. Itodo. Considering the fact that you are now in the opposition, there is need for someone to keep the little you can do within the next three years in the consciousness of your constituents, you will also need some advice on how to reach out to the grassroots and Prince Itodo will be a good buddy.
One of the genuine allegations against you which is indefensible is your arrogance. I was told of how on a visit to Jos, the Idoma Community trouped to the Airport in their black and red traditional attires to welcome you, and while they sang and danced in anticipation of their Leader and Hero, you alighted from the Plane and walked straight to the car without even acknowledging their presence. Idoma students at the University of Abuja have raised the same allegation against you before and so is the Enugu Branch of Idoma National Forum. Please know that this does not speak well of a good politician and a representative of the people. The N100,000 or more which you would have parted with on those occasions could have done you no harm, rather, it would have helped in spreading your name and fame as the people would have surely had a problem with the sharing formula, generating rumours which always spread like wild fire in the process. it might also be the only opportunity some of these people will ever have in meeting you in their life time, the more reason why you owe it a duty to make a positive impression.
As you embark on the last lap of your meritorious career in the Legislature, you will do well by relating more with the ordinary man.
The most challenging task ahead of you as you take your seat back in the senate is the AGATU CRISIS.
On Saturday 20th February, the people of Agatu put their vote in their hope and with one heart, voted massively for a tested war veteran right from the days of the Bible, a David who also tasted the Nigerian Civil War.
The Agatu crisis is more than a jihad as being speculated because Agatu has more Muslim population than any other LG Councils in Benue Zone C. if Jihadists are looking for land to conquer, Agatu should definitely not rank first in their plans.
In the early days of this crisis, it was believed that the Fulanis turned their weapon on the Agatus because they said they allowed the Tivs of Gwer West to use their land as a launch pad to attack the fulanis. This theory hold water for a very long time and I still think it's the genesis of the Fulani-Agatu Crisis.
The Fulanis have nothing more than their cattle and this is all they live for. Honestly my views might not be popular on this issue because tempers have been flared and all manner of emotion is at play here since I believe the Fulanis also deserve to be heard but it's high time the Government at all levels begin to reason that peace is cheaper than war and must go all the way out to buy peace for our communities.
Some people have lost all they ever labored for in life and would rather die fighting aggressively than live dying slowly. Common sense must prevail in Agatu, compromise is required from both parties, both side also deserve to be heard and to achieve this, a mediator will be required. The APC government in the state has compromised itself already by issuing an official statement based on the hearsay rumour that a helicopter was hovering over the air dropping arms and food for the Fulani militia, honestly these people have lost the power to surprise me and here, you can act as an impartial arbiter,
The Nigerian Airspace has total radar coverage in what is called TRACON, if a plane flies in the Nigerian Airspace at an altitude, it should be captured from the control tower of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority. Makurdi, the Benue State Capital also host the Tactical Air Command [TAC] of the Nigerian Air Force, if such a thing ever happened, it will be a very serious national security breach; where did the helicopter take off from, where did it land, why didn't they reason it was men of the Air force from Makurdi who responded to the emergency that are being mistaking for mercenaries,. the APC are good at nothing more than Propaganda so expecting a reasonable answer from them is like the aged man expecting his impotent son to give him a grand child before he dies. When I read on IPN News that Governor Ortom was in Abuja to meet with Buhari over Agatu crisis, I turned to my colleague and asked him if Buhari was back from Saudi, he replied no, that he's being expected on Sunday and I sunk in my chair. That is their height of their wicked propaganda as lives are being wasted.
Please reach out to the Sultan of Sokoto [who must have been your Junior colleague in the Army] over the Agatu crisis, he will surely be of help, there are also Fulani communities all over the Districts of Idomaland who currently leave on edge over this crisis, if you can bring them to a roundtable, they will help you proffer solutions that will be helpful at a time like this.
Indeed, your LEGACY in the Senate as a representative of the people will surely be defined and CONFIRMED by the role you will play in restoring peace and brotherly love to this warring communities and how you relate to other members of your constituency in the days ahead.
As one of your constituents who risked much to publicly campaign for your re-election, I also have demands that I wish you can meet for me, but I leave that out of this page just to wish you another eventful stay in the Senate of the Federal Republic knowing fully well that if you fail today, your supporters and loyalist will be doomed tomorrow. The travails of Jonathanians and every PDP Leader today should be a lesson for people like you to know that when you lead, you can't afford not to give a damn.
Congratulations once more.
Cletus Emoche Agada.

In IT, we sometimes coin terms for things before we know exactly what they are and how they'll be used. The resulting terms may capture a common set of aspirations and goals – as "cloud" did broadly for on-demand, self-service, and flexible computing. But such a term can also lump together diverse and even competing practices, technologies, and priorities to the point where important distinctions are glossed over and lost.

We have already established the importance of APIs in today's digital world (read about it here). With APIs playing such an important role in keeping us connected, it's necessary to maintain the API's performance as well as availability. There are multiple aspects to consider when monitoring APIs, from integration to performance issues, therefore a general monitoring strategy that only accounts for up-time is not ideal.

Docker is sweeping across startups and enterprises alike, changing the way we build and ship applications. It's the most prominent and widely known software container platform, and it's particularly useful for eliminating common challenges when collaborating on code (like the "it works on my machine" phenomenon that most devs know all too well). With Docker, you can run and manage apps side-by-side - in isolated containers - resulting in better compute density. It's something that many developer...

There are several reasons why businesses migrate their operations to the cloud. Scalability and price are among the most important factors determining this transition. Unlike legacy systems, cloud based businesses can scale on demand. The database and applications in the cloud are not rendered simply from one server located in your headquarters, but is instead distributed across several servers across the world. Such CDNs also bring about greater control in times of uncertainty. A database hack ...

In the last episode of Kasam we had Tanuja comes to Rishi's house and everyone gets shocked seeing her there. Tanuja can't even get a chance to explain anything to them. The episode starts with Ahana hugging Tannu and says that she missed her a lot. She then tells her that Rishi had a strong belief and now his believe gets true. Tanuja tries to talk to her but she doesn't even try to listen to her. She says that I will call everyone and tell them that Rishi's believe gets true.
She then goes to call Beeji and tells her that our Tannu has come back with us. Tanuja is looking for Rishi in the house. Rishi is so much anger and looking for Tanuja everywhere. He then goes to Guljeet's house and listens him talking to Nidhi that they will now get everything. He then goes inside and scolds them both. He grabs Guljeet and says that I will now make Tanuja out of my house. He repeatedly asks about Tanuja but Guljeet says that he really don't know about her. Rishi then sits there and says that I will now go when I will meet her.
On the other side, Raaj and Manpreet get surprised to see Tannu there and recalls some great memory. He comes to her and says that we don't even believe that you will come back here. Tanuja tries to explain her but they all continue sharing their memories with Tannu. Manpreet says that we all just leaving silently and Rishi don't even smile from last 20 years. Raj says that now his happiness is back and I will tell him about you.
In today's episode, we are going to see that Tanuja confesses to everyone that she is Tanuja, not their Tannu. They all gets stunned at this and looks on. Now it will be interesting to see did they all accept her or what did Rishi do now. Stay tuned with us for more updates and gossips of Kasam like this.

UK PIP breast implant report
Early in 2012 TEK reported on the plight of many women in the UK who had PIP breast implants. Whilst some had undergone surgery for these implants due to a cosmetic reason, some had done so following treatment for breast cancer.
However patients had come by these PIP breast implants though they were bad news. It was reported that they contained a low grade of silicone and could cause health problems. As the mainstream media reported world wide many of the women involved became extremely anxious. That was understandable. Initially the private clinics in the NHS where some women had received the PIP implants refused to act.
There was an outcry and a great deal of publicity and then the story faded away. That as we all know does not always mean that any issues have been resolved.
This latest report agrees that the implants are substandard but claims that they do not pose any significant health risks. The silicone used in PIP implants has been proven to be industrial grade and not suitable for use in an implant for a person.
Today the UK has published its latest findings regarding the French PIP implants. They have decided after a study that although they may carry a higher risk of rupture they do not cause cancer and are not toxic. Many women will see this as a cost induced finding.
In 2010 the use of these PIP implants was banned world wide. The PIP company went bankrupt later that same year and the death of a woman in France from cancer was said to be as a result of one of these implants.
The product has caused problems in many countries. It is not approved for use in the US. The UK's latest report will not please those who feel that they have had a raw deal at the expense of PIP. NHS medical director Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, who ran the review, said, "This has been an incredibly worrying time for women."Repeated tests on different batches of PIP implants have been carried out in the UK, France and Australia according to international standards. "Those tests have shown that the implants are not toxic and therefore we do not believe they are a threat to the long-term health of women who have PIP implants".
Sadly only time will tell.
The advice for women who experience health concerns is to contact their GP. The removal of the breast implant can still take place. What however is shocking is that "so far 750 women have already, or will, have their implants removed on the NHS - 490 of whom had the implants put in at private clinics." That is a disgrace.
Having pocketed the money for implanting the PIPs their removal should be funded by those clinics also. Of course many have claimed that the burden would mean these clinics would have to close. With a government focused on increasing private health care that is bad news.
However so is the additional burden on the cash strapped NHS.

Previous Tory governments in the UK have always been fans of privatisation. De-regulation has carried both pros and cons. The biggest pro seems to be less expenditure for tax payers and money to be made from any market flotation. The cons have been many including a poor service, a more costlier service, a postcode lottery as far as service and cost went in the long run and in some cases chaos.
Personally this blogger was thinking of British Railways as far as chaos went. We now have the track owned by one company and many regional companies operating their own passenger services. Whilst there are now some bargain tickets to be had for many rail users in the UK prices have gone through the roof. Booking tickets can also be a nightmare and a relatively short journey the length of the UK may involve the use of various train companies and multiple changes.
Today, David Cameron had announced that the UK coalition is looking at privatising our road system. This important infrastructure would seem too important to hand over to any old Tom, Dick or Harry. Of course when State owned services are privatised there are always big winners. These may be the CEOs of various companies plus shareholders. They are more often than not rank and file Tories.
Cameron has been at pains to say that the planned reform of the NHS is not privatisation. Many people in the UK believe that it is but in the case of the NHS that it is by "the back door". It would seem that as fr as the roads go the Coalition is at least being upfront.
Cameron announced the government plans during a speech saying, "We need to look at innovative approaches to the funding of our national roads - to increase investment to reduce congestion. "Road tolling is one option - but we are only considering this for new, not existing, capacity. For example, we're looking at how improvements to the A14 could be part-funded through tolling." Downing Street went on to insist it is not about tolls but most Brits will be saying "yeah, yeah, heard that one before".
According to Sky News Cameron went on, "The Government wants to explore the option of contracting out the maintenance and running of motorways and major A-roads to sovereign wealth funds, pension funds or other investors. In return, vehicle excise duty could be reduced and a new charge introduced that would be paid to the private companies who would take control of the roads on long leases" The new charge would be set by an independent regulator which would also monitor the companies.
His question though that, "Why is it that other infrastructure - for example water - is funded by private sector capital through privately-owned, independently regulated, utilities... but roads in Britain call on the public finances for funding?", left this blogger close to hysteria.
Want to know Mr Cameron? Because the UK saw sense and finally removed the Tories from office before they sold the whole country to the highest bidder. Now you are back in office, albeit as part of a coalition you re up to your old tricks. Choosing the Water Board was if I may point out a bad example. Water Rates have gone through the roof since privatisation, regional boards offer a great deal of variation in service and management of that precious commodity water is a disgrace. It is not simply weather changes that have depleted our water stocks but poor management of supplies.
Perhaps the final thought should be, will the privatisation of UK roads create jobs and wealth for the UK? Then again will the job be given to a French Company, for example, which it seems we are good at doing these days? Watch this space. The new charge would be set by an independent regulator which would also monitor the companies.
The beginning of the end of the NHS
Most people in the UK will accept that the National Health Service is a great asset and institution but that it is flawed. Some would say it has grown into a monster but most, like myself, believe it is still worth saving. Successive UK governments have used the NHS as a political tool and more. One of the Conservative government's election campaign promises was that the NHS was safe in their hands. That they would cut the debt but not the NHS.
It seems that this was just another, in a long line of, lies.
Today November 10, 2011 news has broke that one UK hospital is being taken over by a private firm. Is this the beginning of the end of the NHS?
In recent years the NHS has utilised private initiatives. Under Labour some new hospitals were built with private industry taking a leading role. However not at any time did a private firm take over an entire hospital.
In a first in UK history, private firm, Circle, is to take over the running of a financially failing hospital. The hospital in question is Hinchingbrooke hospital in Cambridgeshire. Circle's role will be the hospital administration. Staff at the hospital will still be employed by the NHS but be given shares in the company. These will be linked to performance and seniority. No doubt the fats cats at the top will benefit the most. Quite possibly those who have led this hospital to fail finanically.
Circle have been undergoing a two year tender process which they have now secured. The deal gives them a 10-year contract. Circle hopes this will be the first of other such deals for them. Circle is part listed on the London Stock Exchange and was established by Ali Parsa, a former Goldman Sachs executive. It will take over Hinchingbrooke in February 2012. The 10-year deal is said to be worth around £1 billion.
Hinchingbrooke is known to have been in severe debt. The government's current line on hospitals with spiralling debts is to offer them for a take-over rather than bail them out.
Hospital treatments and finances across the country vary for many reasons, not least the financial pull on busy hospital trusts in inner city problem areas.
A hospital representative said, "It's a hugely original deal – we've managed to avoid the possibility of closing the hospital. We've got a solution to the debt - and have plans that allow us to meet the efficiency challenges the NHS faces." Mr Parsa said he envisaged a hospital "with everyone who works there in charge of the hospital, letting them own the problems and solve them." He likened it to a "John Lewis" style of management. The problem is Mr Parsa a hospital is not a store. Or perhaps it should not be treat like one.
Parsa also said, "At a time when some healthcare commentators say the solution for small district general hospitals is simply to merge or be shut down, we believe NHS Midlands and East's courage and zeal for innovation will enable us to show how clinician and staff control can provide a more sustainable alternative. Circle arrives not with a top-down plan to impose change, but with a proven methodology of unleashing NHS professionals' talent through clinical leadership and devolved decision-making".
Circle pulled out off another hospital takeover when it did not have the control over change it desired. 20 more hospitals in the NHS have been identified by the Department for Health as failing and therefore presumably as possible take-overs.
It seems Dodgy Dave Cameron has been telling yet more lies. "Safe in our hands" You having a laugh?

text: ANTHONY CLARK INTERNATIONAL INSURANCE BROKERS LTD. (TSX Venture Exchange: ACL; Pink Sheets: ACKBF) (the "Corporation") announces that it has received the necessary regulatory approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") to make a normal course issuer bid. The Corporation intends to purchase up to 954,063 of its common shares by way of normal course purchases on the Exchange, representing 10% of the public float on May 12, 2011. The purchases may commence on May 19, 2011 and will terminate on May 18, 2012 or on such earlier date as the Corporation completes its purchases. Purchases will be made by the Corporation in accordance with Exchange requirements and the price which the Corporation will pay for any such common shares will be the market price of such shares at the time of acquisition. All purchases will be effected through the facilities of the Exchange. All purchased common shares will be cancelled. Union Securities Ltd. has been retained by the Corporation to conduct the normal course issuer bid on behalf of the Corporation. Under its previous normal course issuer bid from May 14 th, 2010 to May 13 th, 2011, the Corporation purchased 446,000 of its common shares representing approximately 4.67% of the Corporation's outstanding common shares as at May 11 th, 2010, for an average price of $0.33 per common share. The Corporation believes that the market price of its common shares could be such that their purchase may be an attractive and appropriate use of corporate funds in light of potential benefits to remaining shareholders. To the knowledge of the Corporation, no director, senior officer or other insider of the Corporation currently intends to sell any common shares under this bid. However, sales by such persons through the facilities of the Exchange may occur if the personal circumstances of any such person changes or any such person makes a decision unrelated to these normal course purchases. The benefits to any such person whose shares are purchased would be the same as the benefits available to all other holders whose shares are purchased.

EU: High-Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance delivers early recommendationsOn 13 July 2017, the High-Level Expert Group (" HLEG ") on Sustainable Finance published its interim report (" Interim Report ") setting out concrete steps to create a financial system that supports sustainable investments. This Legal Insight is part of our dedicated newsletter series on the European Capital Markets Union (" CMU "). Background The growing awareness of environmental challenges and sustainability risks as well as the adoption of the UN 2030 Agenda and the conclusion of the Paris Climate Agreement by the EU in 2015 call for an EU strategy on sustainable finance. Establishing an EU strategy on sustainable finance is a priority action of the CMU. In December 2016, the HLEG was established to advise on the development of such an EU strategy . The recently published HLEG Interim Report was recently presented in a public hearing on sustainable finance on 18 July 2017. At the same time, the HLEG presented an online questionnaire on the Interim Report aimed at obtaining targeted feedback until 20 September 2017, which would be reflected in the final report of the HLEG scheduled for publication by the end of 2017.

First Annual Privacy Shield Review to take place in September 2017One of the core principles of the EU-US Privacy Shield (" Privacy Shield ") is its Joint Review mechanism, which obliges the European Commission, the US Department of Commerce and the Federal Trade Commission to jointly review the functioning of the Privacy Shield on an annual basis, together with its national security and law enforcement aspects. The very first Joint Review is scheduled for September 2017. This first review is considered especially important, as it will be the first opportunity for US and EU regulators to closely analyse the operation of the Privacy Shield, address possible concerns about its functioning, and seek to ensure that the Privacy Shield continues to be a valid legal basis for transfers of personal data from the EU to the US.

An Introduction to Personal GuaranteeThe economic boom in UAE has resulted in huge developments and a considerable increase in trade. This in turn has led to a rise in transactions which require a fast debt recovery mechanism. According to common practice in the UAE, the most secure and quickest method is the post-dated - and in some cases undated – cheque. This is often requested by creditors (financial institutions) and sellers, mostly in real estate transactions and trade. The rationale is mostly economic to individuals who are issuing the cheque, and how does personal guarantee play a role? In this Article, we attempt to analyze and overview UAE laws on Personal guarantee.

Extreme Makeover: Widget EditionPosted by melissabarker in Community Manager on Dec 5, 2012 7:05:40 AM
During the course of her five years with Jive Professional Services, Carrie Gilbert has guided dozens of Jive customers through the process of defining and implementing their community strategies, drawing on her extensive professional and academic background in interaction design, technical communication, and usability. In this piece, Carrie teamed up with ajohnson1200 , a Jive Engineering VP, to provide some widget layout tips.
Whether you're creating an overview page for your community as a whole or setting up the landing page for an individual group or space, the Jive widget library provides you with a lot of flexibility to put your community's best face forward. This same flexibility could be spun as providing "just enough rope to hang oneself," so to appease the cynics in the crowd, we've provided some general widget layout guidelines. We've also included a few "what not to do"s to help you navigate around potential usability, adoption, and system performance pitfalls.
Keep it simple
Something about widgets brings out the Garbage Pail Kids collector in all of us and we find ourselves wanting to collect one (or more!) of each. A Recent Content here, a Popular Documents there... before you know it, we've assembled three columns of eight widgets a piece, some of which likely show many of the same content links. The result? A sea of blue text that doesn't help your users prioritize one block of information over another, doesn't communicate the value of the community to them, and takes a serious toll on your page load time.
In our Strategy consulting practice, we talk to customers about the four critical components of any widget layout:
- Purpose: Clearly and succinctly explain to new members what this place is and who it's for. This typically happens via a Formatted Text widget, which allows you to communicate your place's value statement both visually and verbally. Group Overview and Space Overview widgets are good options as well.
- Calls to action: Identify the top 3–4 things you want members to do here and provide prominent (ideally graphical) links. This, again, is typically handled as a Formatted Text widget and can often be implemented as part of the same widget in which you are communicating the place's purpose.
- Motivation: Members don't often dive right into participating, so help them understand how the community can help them. Answer their unspoken question, "What's in it for me?" In highly competitive communities or communities that put a high value on member reputation, leader boards (like the Top Participants widget) can be an effective mechanism here. Even better are visible signs of the value other members are already receiving: success stories, win reports, and other first-hand accounts that underscore the community's role in a key business process.
- Example: Would-be participants may initially shy away from actively posting in your community until they feel confident they know what acceptable participation looks like. Help them learn the community's established social norms by readily surfacing other contributions via one of the many content-centric widgets. Time-based widgets like Recent Content and Recent Activity provide the added benefit of showing "signs of life" so members get a sense of relative activity levels.
Less is more
Most Jive widgets allow you to specify the number of items you want displayed. Although the default for most content widgets is 25 items, this can prove to be overwhelming for your members who are trying to quickly scan for something of interest, and can also slow down page load times. Broadly speaking, the primary goal of a widget like Recent Activity or Popular Content is to provide visitors with visibility into the types of interactions common to a given place and the frequency with which they occur (see the "Example" bullet above), and this can be achieved with far fewer than 25 items. So if you have performance or usability concerns about pages in your community that tend toward lengthy content listings, dial your widgets' settings down to a more manageable 7–10 items.
Paint a picture (but not too many)
Over-relying on the dynamically populated widgets in Jive can result in a fairly dry layout with few indicators to members what they should do first or why. To create a more meaningful visual hierarchy, you will want to use at least one Formatted Text or HTML widget, which allow you to create a richer experience through embedded imagery, video, and custom code elements. Some common uses of these widgets include "hero shots" to help define the brand identity for a given community or place, visual calls to action to encourage members to participate, and featured members or content.
However, just like too many dynamic content widgets can result in a meaningless sea of blue text, a page full of highly visual formatted text widgets can become a similarly unusable blur of noise. Remember that you are creating a hierarchy for your members to scan: for each widget layout, define the 2 to 3 items that are most critical and ensure that those are the most visually prominent areas of the page. And consider the performance implications of rich elements as well: in addition to the increased file sizes that go along with assets like images and video, you may also run into client-side slowdowns as a result of custom CSS or JavaScript. This effect may be magnified if you have users distributed around the globe.
There are millions of widget layouts possible within Jive, and probably nearly as many design philosophies governing community managers' use of them.
What approaches have worked well for you? What other design "do"s and "don't"s have you learned along the way?

Is it legal to sell my father's things before he's moved out of his home?
I have lived with my father in his home overseeing and managing his in home care for several years. Recently he fell and broke his hip. Recovery was slow at first but he is a remarkable man and stood up twice today during PT and also transferred himself from his wheelchair to his bed with just a little assistance. I believe he will be able to return home eventually, in a month or so, because he is so incredibly strong and loves his home. So, my sister has been coveting some family heirlooms including antique furniture since my mother's death over 4 years ago. My brother is POA and trustee for my father's estate. He notified me by e-mail that he wants to have a garage/estate sale next weekend and my sister is going to be taking the family heirlooms including dining room table and other items. I objected for the obvious reason that our father is not dead and there is no compelling reason to have an estate sale and deprive him of his property. He has significant funds available for his needs and an excellent retirement benefit. I realize I may not be able to convince my brother to allow our father to return home and not make other long term arrangements for his care but that decision has not been reached. But I do not know of any legal basis for my brother to allow our sister to take his property prior to his death and certainly not before a decision is made about him possibly returning home. Can my brother legally allow this? I do not want the furniture for myself so there is no dispute about who gets it.
Expert Answers
To avoid a misunderstanding that could further damage your sibling relationships, we recommend that you first meet with your brother and sister to discuss your father's future and your own. We wonder what will happen to you if your father does not come home? Where would you go? Do you have the financial where-with-all to re-start your life without living in your father's home? You will want to be upfront about your own concerns, as your siblings will definitely want to talk about them. Keep in mind that your brother and sister may be making decisions that seem precipitous to you because they worry that you may want to stay in the house - even after your father has died.
As for the legal realities, those answers depend on what the power of attorney and trust documents actually say, and what your brother's legitimate reasons are for wanting to take these actions. The legal documents may allow him to take these actions, but even then he still needs to abide by state-law imposed standards of fairness and reasonableness, and he must act in a way that is in the best interest of your father. The most difficult part of the legal approach is that the only way to stop your brother would be to file a court action to ask a judge to override his intentions or to replace him as trustee, and that would be a very expensive (and time consuming) process. For that reason, we don't think a legal approach will be effective, even if technically valid. You might consider hiring a lawyer to send your brother a letter stating why you think these actions are inappropriate, but that might only irritate him to a greater degree.
There are additional difficult questions you will want to discuss with your siblings, and it is important that you think through your own future before you face these decisions. For example, if your father will not be coming home do you need to ask your siblings for some time find a place to live? Do you need to ask them if they would help you financially through this transition? If the house is sold, will you receive a portion of the proceeds that would provide some security for your own future?
In the end you will need to decide what your priorities are, in terms of preserving the family relationships, and then plot out your strategy with those priorities in mind.
Community Answers
I have tried off and on for the last four and a half years to persuade my siblings to consult with a geriatric care manager due to ongoing conflicts between us. My most recent and long term effort was to try to have my siblings and myself meet with the hospice social worker after my siblings signed our father over to hospice in home service in June last summer. I wanted to meet to discuss sharing of responsibilities as my plans were to return to Colorado by the end of the summer - some six months ago. I had told them a year ago March that I wanted to return there. My siblings refused time after time after time to either meet with the social worker or to help with any of the ongoing responsibilities as to managing our father's care. When just the three of us have met, things would fall apart quickly for various reasons including no prior notice being given to me that a meeting was planned and about to arrive at my door and usually decisions had already been made and were not open to discussion anymore anyway. I have since refused to meet with my siblings unless a mediator or social worker or care manager is present. The most upsetting of our arguments for me personally directly effected my father's health as my sister insisted, against the medical advice of my father's hospice nurse manager, that our father travel an hour to visit her about once a month for the weekend. My father always returned with a urinary tract infection and was then bedridden for up to a week. He would never recovery completely back to the level he had been before. But he would recover enough for her to invite him again and then he would get sick again, on and on. We would have fights about this but my sister claimed she knew best and my brother would not do anything to stop her. The funds I had available to leave six months ago are gone. Hospice thought my sister was actually sabotaging my plans to leave which I believe to be true. My last attempt to meet with my siblings with the hospice social worker present was answered by my brother's immediate termination of hospice thus cutting off that resource to me. So talking with my siblings is not an option. Even if I were to hire a mediator, which I cannot afford, I do not believe they would sit down at a table to discuss anything. I believe there has been an ongoing pattern of their actions being opposite our father's best interest and I see nothing in their recent actions to persuade me otherwise.
We are sorry to hear how futile this all seems to be. One option would be for you to meet individually with a geriatric care manager and see if she or he would be willing to initiate communication with your siblings, in the hope that this would motivate them to respond in a different way. If this is not successful you may be left with only two difficult options: retain an attorney who can advocate for you and make demands on your siblings, or accept that you won't be able to change their behavior and then figure out how to make changes to your own actions accordingly. Remember, even if your brother wrongly sells some of your dad's things that does not mean you can't continue to help him out as best you can.

Higher education facilities with panoramic views across the city
In September 2013 Stride Treglown were asked by Exeter College to look at the feasibility of providing a series of maths, science or computing specialisms within a redundant circa 1950's four storey office building. Following a change of use planning application and principal works planning application the new 'Centre for Maths, Science and Computing' will support the continued growth of College generally, but in particular support expansion in these fields. More widely this is aimed to fulfil the College's vision of being the premier destination of choice for post-16 maths and science education in the region.
Commanding a prominent Exeter city Centre location the facility offers higher education for 16 – 19yr olds and provides teaching laboratories, traditional classrooms, a forensic science suite with designated 'crime scene', a computing suite as well acting as a more public face for the college with its 'Student Advice Hub' and 'Learning Resource Centre'. To the rear of the building a newly constructed extension will infill the existing loading bay and provide an additional social or break out space for student downtime.
The project is an ambitious undertaking and development priority for the College. It combines a complex mix of new build extension at ground and fourth floor, the construction of a new principal stair case and lift central to the plan, extensive demolition works, recladding and fit out works and a completely new mechanical and electrical installation to bring the building up to current standards or energy efficiency.
The highlights of the facility include panoramic views over Exeter City Centre from the fourth floor teaching laboratories and the ground floor public spaces benefit from uplifting and generous ceiling heights. A 'technical aesthetic' will be used throughout to connect students with the building science around them.
"I have been around many buildings in my time and this is fantastic. What you have done is incredible, and you have done it on an incredibly small budget. For the future of the people of this region there's nothing more important than education, and this college absolutely typifies that through this development. The world is changing and what people need is skills, and that's exactly what this centre is providing, particularly in the science and maths area."
Sir Steve Smith, Vice Chancellor of the University of Exeter
"The dedicated and easily accessible crime scene with blood splatter wall makes the logistics of delivering these modules so much easier and more enjoyable for the students.
We have subject-specific areas which are dedicated to particular courses whilst also being flexible. There is a range of learning environments to meet a range of learning needs. The care and attention which has gone into the detail of the design means everything is a joy to use and just works efficiently.
James, Biology and Applied Science Teacher

Has anyone been prescribed Adderall, Vyvanse, Concertta, or other central nervous system stimulants (mainly prescribed for treating ADHD) for treating depression?
Has anyone been prescribed "central nervous system stimulants" for depression?

Responses (3)
Thanks for your response. They use it off label for depression
They can help with depression as they affect dopamine which is one of the neurotransmitters in the brain that can become imbalanced with depression. One of the few medications that affect dopamine and is specifically prescribed for depression is Wellbutrin. Otherwise, there are the stimulants you mentioned as well as Provigil and Nuvigil.
Thanks for the help Laurie. I take wellbutrin clonopin trazadone and bipolar pill as well.
You're welcome and hope the Adderall works ok for you.
