Your New Comp Package: Good Salary, Decent Dental and Outstanding Flexibility
Today, Cisco released the findings of its Connected World Report, a global research effort that assesses the expectations, demands, and behavior of employees around the world as lines between work and personal life continue to blur and new technologies make it possible to access information from anywhere at any time. The study will be presented today by Cisco executives during a live Internet TV broadcast from 8:00-9:00 a.m. PDT. To view the broadcast, click here just before show time. Also, check out my video with Dave Evans, futurist and chief technologist of Cisco's Internet Business Solutions Group, discussing key findings from the report.
The report, which involved 2,600 workers and IT professionals from a variety of industries in 13 countries, revealed some pretty significant findings. One of the most interesting is employees' increasing desire to be mobile and flexible in their work life. For example, the study found that if given the choice, two of three workers would choose job offers that were lower-paying but had leniency in accessing work information outside the office than higher-paying offers with inflexible information access. The study also found that when employees were granted mobility and leniency in accessing information outside the office, most tended to work more – up to three hours more a day.
Other key findings from the Cisco Connected World Report:
Can Businesses Meet Employee Needs?
– Almost half of the IT respondents (45 percent) said they are not prepared policy- and technology-wise to support a more borderless, mobile workforce. Not surprisingly, security was the top concern.
– Although many of the IT respondents felt security (57 percent), budget (34 percent), and staff expertise (17 percent) were the biggest barriers to enabling a more distributed workforce, employees often felt IT and corporate policies were the obstacles.
Employee Behavior Indicates Education, Corporate Policies as Important as Technology
– As workforces become more distributed, the potential for data loss increases. One of four IT respondents (26 percent) said one-fourth of the devices issued to employees in the past 12 months had already been lost or stolen.
– As workforces become increasingly mobile, security and risk management concerns inevitably grow. The findings indicate the real need for better corporate policies, end-user education, and stronger, trusted relationships between employees and IT departments. How well IT brokers these relationships impacts a company's growth, productivity, competitive advantage, as well as its risk management.
By all accounts, the findings indicate that it makes a whole lot of business sense to offer your employees the flexibility and mobility they desire. But what if you aren't prepared? Well, get prepared. Through employee education, corporate policy and technology, companies can enable their workers to be more mobile, more productive and more secure. As John Chambers put it, "deal with the world the way it is, not the way you wish it was." With 14 billion mobile devices connected to the internet today and no slowdown in sight, it's your call.

I think that flexibility is a very important factor now a days. I've used this as a criteria for the last few job interviews I've been in.
I too would prefer to work from home more hours, than in an office 8h per day. Sure, at home you don't have the same facilities, + there's also the distraction factor, but still I would prefer to be more flexible.
Thanks for the article. It was really interesting.
Its really a great post ,thanks for sharing with us…I am also agree with your points about employees benefits…
Flexibility in the workplace (in terms of mobility and access) can benefit employers in many ways.
1. Increased employee loyalty
2. Reduced energy costs for both the company and the employee.
3. A willingness for employees to be more flexible when a heavy crunch in a project hits.
As someone who works mostly from home, I can relate to this a lot. I definitely prefer a job that allows flexibility and mobility as your article states. Thanks!
thanks for sharing with us, this article is very useful for me.
thanks again

Interior of the Diwan-i-Khas, showing the great central column, Fatehpur Sikri 1003555
Photographer: Smith, Edmund William
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1893
Photograph of the Diwan-i-Khas at Fatehpur Sikri, from the Archaeological Survey of India Collections, taken by Edmund William Smith in 1893. The palace city of Fatehpur Sikri was built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar (r.1556-1605) from 1571 to 1585. The entire complex is built of locally quarried red sandstone, known as Sikri sandstone. The Diwan-i-Khas, or Hall of Private Audience, is a plain square building with four chhatris on the roof. The interior is unusual; in the centre there is a large carved column whose serpentine brackets support a circular platform which is connected to each corner of the building by four stone walkways. Akbar probably sat in the centre of the platform to conduct his private audiences. This is view of the central carved column.

During the years 1981 through 1983, modifications of this harvester have been field tested and have been proven beneficial in reducing cranberry injury. This article describes the harvester changes and their effects on harvesting injury. 1981 and 1982 Tests modified in 1981 was tested using different elevator speeds. Results verified that this harvester design reduced berry injury significantly from the unmodified machine. At the original speed, only 5%of the cranberries leaving the elevator had visible injury. Increased elevator speeds, however, caused greater berry injury and could not have approximately the same capacity as the original paddles. The illustration on page 7 shows the locations of the front elevator shaft in 1983 and in the original machine. The 1983 position is farther forward and lower than the original position so that the elevator paddles contact the elevator surface ahead of the cutter bar, yet avoid contact with the feeder reel. The 1983 position is between the original and 1981-82 positions. and 1981-82 positions. Results of field tests showed that the 1983 design was successful in reducing cranberry injury while providing the desired harvester capacity. Cranberries leaving the elevator had less than 5%visual injury on the 1983 harvester and approximately 10% on the original harvester. The 1983 harvester did not remove (continued on page 6) In 1981 the Furford harvester t o harvestr was m ifid by m t elevator forward and down on the harvester. This moved dowe on tat harvester.

Or even to collect an account receivable. On the screen, you can quickly see if all outstanding bills have been paid. And if you have collected all debts due you. Your bank may even offer a service connected to the computer. NOTICE that I use the expression, "computer setup." That setup can also include a printer. You have a list of all the people with whom you deal. You send out a letter to each during the holiday season. Do you copy each name and address by hand? Or do you or one of your employees type out each name and address on a typewriter? Would it be easier to have the name labels stored and spit out by a printer? What about the letters you are going to send out? Will they be all the same and hence done by a printing shop or done by offset? Will there be, instead, changes in some of the letters? How do you presently determine to whom special letters will be sent? You have to figure out time and cost with your present method as against using a computer setup. You may have one or morer people working for you. And, during your busy season, several parttime workers. You keep a record in your books of all salaries paid. Remember, this is to be part later of your income tax returns. What is the best way to store and retrieve those records? If you are big, you may have a fulltime secretary/typist. If you were to get a computer setup,she woulddo most of setup, would she do most of the work? If the answer is yes, this means she would have to learn how to operate it. She may like it. She may not. So, if you decide to get a computer, let your secretary in on the idea. Who knows? She may like it very much. BEFORE you make a final decision concerning the purchase of a computer setup, it is suggested that you do the follow- ing: Contact other cranberry growers and see if they use a computer. If so, could you pay a visit and see just how it is used. They may hesitate because they have some important, confidential data stored in the computer. But that you need not see. What you want to find out is just how they use it in specific situations. You want to know the good points as well as the bad ones and about any head- aches connected with the computer. If there is a computer show in your area, go to it even if you have to travel some. Take some of your data with you and ask how it can be set up. And wait until it is done. You also want to find out if anybody has devised a program or programs that can be used by you. But if you are asked to sign any kind of paper: Don't! ____ _a_ _ _ _a__ Beel NTruc c 2 Qua 00 Thank the demonstrator and go on to the next exhibition. Visit some of the stores that sell computers.

You may be able to locate a computer club composed of those who use the same make computer. If you can visit the club, you are lucky, for you will get the answers to your questions from those who use that specific computer. Your mate might even suggest that the computer can be used for home as well as business purposes. Can it, for example, also be used to manage household expenses? I can't make the final decision for you about buying a computer. However, I can suggest you weigh all the facts. Then it's up to you. CRANBERRIES ives ou news & views about the industry ales E.

Administration officials are trying hard to ward off the "tight money" debacle experienced in 1966. However, no matter what However, no matter what money does cost, you need it to finance construction costs. Money is a commodity and you "rent" or "buy" it like everything else. The price you pay is not only Thepreyou pa nt oy dependent on current economic conditions, but also on how astute a shopper you are. Remember, price tags are not always the same. always~same.met~ th ~ As a grower, you might want to make the Farm Credit Service your first stop. The FCS's Federal Land Bank rates generally are lower than what you1an1et.esew e rmins you can get elsewhere, m inds Allyn Lamb, general manager of the Taunton, Mass., office of the farmer's cooperative. There also is the U.S. government's Farmer's Home Administration, but most growers make too much to qualify for FHA loans, adds Lamb. Listed below are other places where you might obtain construction loans and pointers on how to shop for the lowest rates .a ^^ Commercial banks: The bank with which you carry your check account and have a history of borrowing is the most logical place to start after FCS. Meet with bank officials and inform them of your plans and show them your need for expansion. Bring along your accountant's statements for prior periods to show the increase in business and be prepared to talk about the expected growth figures if the additional facilities are built. In reality there are no "fixed" rates and the amount you pay will depend on your bargaining ability (consider bringing along your accountant or lawyer or both), your past relationship, the size of your average balance, and your personal relations with bank officials. To cut costs of long term borrowing, offer to give a personal bond (or note) in addition to the usual real estate mortgage. Savings banks and savings and loan associations: These are an excellent source of mortgage money because for the most part these institutions are prohibited from making personal loans or ordinary business loans. a b aefo Arrangements can be made for arrangement wherein you contract for a contractor to erect your building (or addition to present structure) and have monies released by the bank as construction progresses. Your interest obligation isbased on the monies actually advanced, not on the amount of the commitment. And, usually, you don't have to make any payments on account of principal until the completion of construction. Rates are negotiable and again you have to do some rate comparison with neighborhood institutions and thus some haggling. Insurance companies: Most insurance companies have a loan department specifically set up for the purpose of making loans on real estate. These companies have an endless supply, of money coming in and U U U E U Paul's U M(achine U Tool COMPLETE MACHINE MACH iNE SHOP SERVICE nnnliai Specializing in Building & Repair of CranberryEquipment * WARRENS WI 54666A (608) 378-4511 ••ft•••. •••••••• " ' I IW . * Crane for fire I y Three quarter yard crane with matts, clam * I and dragline.

Note: This is a crossgrade version from any Advanced iZotope product.
O8N2 combines two award-winning product lines for mixing and mastering with new futuristic metering and analysis tools. Get Neutron 2 Advanced for mixing, Ozone 8 Advanced for mastering, and Tonal Balance Control, the industry's first visual analysis tool that allows you to control any instance of Neutron 2 or Ozone 8 Equalizers across your session.
Ozone 8/Neutron 2 Family....
Achieve unprecedented focus and clarity in your mixes with Neutron. This new mixing plug-in combines the latest innovations in analysis and metering with award-winning audio processing.
Ozone 8 & Neutron 2 are available in different flavors designed to meet your budget and needs. You can also save big by purchasing our new Music Production Suite.
Alternative Options/Crossgrades:
A Smarter Way to Mix
Achieve a clear, well-balanced mix with Neutron's innovative new mixing and analysis tools. Control every aspect of your music, from the visual soundstage of your tracks to the overall balance of your mix—all with iZotope's award-winning digital signal processing.
Award-Winning Processing
Neutron 2 features some of the best audio processing we've ever created allowing you to achieve professional sounding mixes inside your digital audio workstation. It now includes six industry leading mixing processors, all zero-latency capable, including a new Gate with hysteresis, a static/dynamic Equalizer with analog-inspired soft saturation, two multiband Compressors, a multiband Exciter, and a multiband Transient Shaper, as well as an ultra low-latency True Peak Limiter—perfect for all your mixing needs.
Tonal Balance Control
The new Tonal Balance Control plug-in introduces industry-first visual analysis and communicates with all instances of Neutron so you can shape a perfectly balanced mix. Instantly call up any Neutron EQ and adjust your tracks to targets based on hundreds of professional mixes. You can even create your own custom targets from one or more songs in your personal library.
Introducing Visual Mixer
The new Visual Mixer creates a picture of the entire soundstage, giving you control over individual tracks and enabling you to quickly and intuitively set the contour of your mix - all without leaving a single window. Control the pan, gain, and width inside of Neutron so your mix sounds exactly how you intended.
Masking Meter
An industry first, Neutron's Masking Meter allows you to visually identify perceptual frequency collisions, which can result in guitars masking lead vocals, bass covering up drums, and other issues that can cause a "muddy" or overly crowded mix. Toggle seamlessly between any two tracks to carve out sonic space and ensure that each instrument has its own place to shine.
Improved Track Assistant
Another industry first, Neutron's updated Track Assistant lets you create a custom starting point based on your audio so you can focus on what's most important—your creative take on the mix. In version two, we've made improvements including the ability to set auto-release, ratio and attack on the Compressor, piano instrument detection based on machine learning, and more.
Improved Neutrino Mode
Different instrument tracks — like vocals, dialogue, guitar, bass, piano, and drums — are automatically detected. Neutron then applies iZotope's spectral shaping technology within Neutrino Mode to provide subtle clarity and balance to each of your tracks.
EQ, with EQ Learn
The workhorse EQ features clean yet subtly warm processing and a pristine analog-style signal path. With 12 bands of powerful static and dynamic EQ, a range of new and vintage filter types, and flexible sidechain capabilities, it's your new go-to EQ for all your mixing tasks. Version 2 also adds analog-style soft saturation for an even warmer sound.
A parallel processing powerhouse, the Compressor offers the ultimate sonic versatility: the very best of classically 'gluey' character as well as transparent digital compression styles. Adjust to taste with features like Vintage mode, Auto Release, and flexible Analog (zero latency) and Transparent (hybrid) crossovers for the ultimate in multiband control.
The new Gate offers all the modern DSP processing you'd expect from iZotope plus analog-style touches, like Hysteresis, that offer smoother noise gating. With three bands, Crossover Learn functionality, and Hold option, you can get the ultimate control over removing bleed and creating better separation of your tracks.
Transient Shaper
The multiband Transient Shaper offers clarity, perceptual loudness, and impact enhancement for the most responsive sonic sculpting anywhere. With three musically versatile Contour controls, your drums, guitars, vocals and sound FX have never sounded this punchy.
Module Component Plug-ins
Use all the modules of Neutron as individual plug-ins with surround support right from within your DAW or NLE.
The exciter allows you to easily add punch, warmth, brightness, and presence to yourtrack without muddying up the sound. With three powerful Emphasis modes, a unique, multiband blend interface featuring Tape, Tube, and two special iZotope algorithms, you can fine-tune the color of your saturation to suit the needs of your track.
With three distinct algorithms to choose from, the Limiter offers huge sonic variety when adjusting levels: from ultra-transparent to clean (low latency) pumping to a crunchy brick wall. Each algorithm has three modes for tailoring the character and intensity of the limiting, and Neutron's detailed True Peak, RMS and Short-term metering provides the accuracy needed for both broadcast and codec standards.
Surround Support
Neutron's high-quality, CPU-efficient audio processing offers zero-latency processing across all mixing modules, an award-winning BS.1770 True Peak Limiter, dynamic EQ with sidechaining to sonically balance sub-mixes, an automatic dialogue-polishing Neutrino mode, and surround sound support in all 6 modules and individual plug-ins.
Over 500 Presets

Enhanced to meet demands of the modern mastering workflow, Ozone 8 is your one stop for a tonally balanced, professional master with twelve essential mastering processors. It's the smartest version of Ozone yet.
The Future is Here
Assistance with Control
Master Assistant uses the sonic profile of your audio to help you get to a logical starting point. Because your time is better spent adding your sonic signature, Master Assistant will suggest targets, signal chain, and processor settings, so you can get back to what's most important—adding that personal touch.
Balance Your Master - Tonal Balance Control
The new Tonal Balance Control plug-in presents industry-first visual analysis and communicates with all instances of Neutron 2, allowing you to reach your desired master faster. Compare your work with track references and genre standards informed by analysis on years of popular masters, achieve a target sonic profile, and ensure your delivery will translate for popular distribution channels.
NEW! Spectral Shaper
Smooth and sculpt problematic and harsh frequencies with the new Spectral Shaper module. Mold your audio by applying frequency-specific dynamics, surgically or creatively, to create smooth, balanced audio. Fantastic for taming percussive transients, Spectral Shaper can tame sibilant hi-hats, harsh vocals, plucky acoustic guitars, and other overly bright mix elements. For a creative twist, use Spectral Shaper across any frequency band to experiment with timbre, resonance, and transient information without affecting other elements of the source audio.
12 Essential Mastering Tools with Component Plug-ins
Ozone 8 Advanced includes twelve essential modern and vintage modules with component plug-ins: Spectral Shaper, EQ, Dynamic EQ, Post EQ, Maximizer (with IRC IV and new IRC LL), Imager, Exciter, Dynamics, Vintage Limiter, Vintage Tape, Vintage EQ, Vintage Compressor. Ozone 8 Advanced comes with each module as a component plug-in, allowing you to use any piece of Ozone independently in your session.
Track Referencing
A/B your master against reference tracks directly within any instance of Ozone or its standalone application. Now an integrated process, track referencing is easy, intelligent, and incorporated into Ozone's workflow. Track referencing in Ozone allows you to load up to 10 tracks and will identify sections of your reference for easy playback like Verse or Chorus, so you can spend less time finding and more time mastering.
Ozone...meet Neutron
The Tonal Balance Control plug-in not only communicates with the Ozone 8 Equalizer and Post EQ modules, but Neutron 2 EQ modules as well. This inter-plugin communication lets you fix mix issues during mastering and helps bridge the mixing and mastering gap. No more context switching or opening up multiple windows - just tonally balanced, professional sounding music.
Taming of the Shrill
Smooth and sculpt problematic and harsh frequencies with the new Spectral Shaper module. Mold your audio by applying frequency-specific dynamics, surgically or creatively, to create smooth, balanced audio. Fantastic for taming percussive transients, Spectral Shaper can tame sibilant hi-hats, harsh vocals, plucky acoustic guitars, and other overly bright mix elements. For a creative twist, use Spectral Shaper across any frequency band to experiment with timbre, resonance, and transient information without affecting other elements of the source audio.
What's new in Version 8?
Intelligent signal processing, spectral shaping, Tonal Balance Control, Track Referencing, new look and feel, and more.
Intelligent Track Referencing
A/B your master against reference tracks directly within any instance of Ozone or its standalone application. Now an integrated process, track referencing is easy, intelligent, and incorporated into Ozone's workflow. Load up to 10 tracks and Ozone will identify sections of references like a Verse or Chorus for easy playback, so you can spend less time searching through references and more time mastering.
IRC IV You
We know you love IRC. We do too. That's why we've added a low latency mode with all the power of IRC limiting minus the lag. We've also improved IRC IV's low-end fidelity to provide better feedback for a more responsive, smooth limiting algorithm.
Maximum Independence
Transient/Sustain Stereo Independence in Ozone's Maximizer takes your master to the next level by detecting and separating transient and sustain information for a wider, deeper sonic profile. Transient Stereo Independence reduces pumping, introduces fewer artifacts, and leaves you with more of the sound you want, without narrowing your stereo image.
New Look and Feel
Great experiences are made with great design. That's why we've made workflow improvements across the board. Work faster and more instinctively between mix and master with a similar workflow in Ozone 8 and Neutron 2, with beautiful visualizations, metering, and more fluid controls.
Key Features
Perfect for Professional Mastering and Mixing Engineers, Ozone 8 Advanced includes:
- Dial in the perfect tonal balance with the new Tonal Balance Control plug-in, which can access any instance of Ozone across all your tracks

NEMUS Bioscience Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing new chemical entities from a class of chemically diverse compounds called cannabinoids.
The Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation FD prohibits the selective disclosure of material nonpublic information to certain enumerated persons. The regulation is intended to eliminate situations where a company may disclose important nonpublic information, such as earnings warnings, to securities analysts or selected institutional investors, before disclosing the information to the general public. Regulation FD requires that, whenever the Company (or a person acting on its behalf) intentionally discloses material nonpublic information to an Enumerated Person (as described below, including broker-dealers, analysts and securityholders), the Company must simultaneously disseminate the information to the public.
If the Company learns that it has unintentionally disclosed material nonpublic information, it must publicly disseminate the information within 24 hours.
This Policy applies to every director, employee and independent contractor of the Company and its subsidiaries, and complements the Company's insider trading policy.
1. The only persons authorized to speak on behalf of the Company to Enumerated Persons are the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer; Chief Financial Officer, Chief Medical Officer; or other persons specifically designated by them to speak with respect to a particular topic or purpose (each an "Authorized Spokesperson").
2. To the extent practicable, Authorized Spokespersons should contact an appropriate person in the Investor Relations and Legal Departments before having conversations with any Enumerated Person in order to review as much of the substance of the intended communication as possible, including slides and other prepared materials. In addition, to the extent practicable, all Authorized Spokespersons (other than Authorized Spokespersons who are representatives of the Investor Relations Department) should be accompanied by a representative of the Investor Relations Department at such conversations.
1. Regulation FD prohibits selective disclosure to certain specified persons, including (a) broker-dealers and persons associated with them, including investment analysts; (b) investment advisers, certain institutional investment managers and their associated persons; and (c) investment companies, hedge funds, and affiliated persons.
2. Selective disclosure is also prohibited if made to any securityholder under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that the securityholder would purchase or sell securities on the basis of the information.
3. Communications in the ordinary course within the Company among employees or directors on matters that are related to the participants' duties at the Company are not covered by the regulation.
4. Communications in the ordinary course of business with customers, suppliers or strategic partners, as well as communications with the press or news organizations, rating agencies, or the government, are not covered by the regulation.
1. Inquiries from analysts, securityholders and other Enumerated Persons received by any director or employee other than an Authorized Spokesperson as expressly defined above should be forwarded to the head representative of the Investor Relations Department, or another Authorized Spokesperson in the Investors Relations Department. Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to handle these inquiries without prior authorization from an Authorized Spokesperson.
2. If practicable, planned conversations should include a designated representative of the Investor Relations Department. It should be determined in advance whether it is intended that any material nonpublic information be disclosed. If so, the material nonpublic information should be disclosed prior to, or simultaneously with, the planned conversation by the issuance of a press release, the filing or "furnishing" of a report on a Form 8-K, or other means reasonably designed to provide broad, non-exclusionary distribution of the information to the public.
3. The Investor Relations Department will periodically update the key public statements and messages and circulate to the Authorized Spokespersons to ensure awareness of information in the public domain.
1. Any time an Authorized Spokesperson determines to disclose or discuss nonpublic Company information with anyone who is or might be an Enumerated Person, there must be a determination made prior to such disclosure, in consultation with the Legal Department and other departments as appropriate, whether the information is material. Information is material if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making a decision to buy, sell, or hold a security or where the fact is likely to have a significant effect on the market price of the security. Both positive and negative information may be material.
3. If the determination is made that the information to be disclosed is material, the information must be disclosed via a means reasonably designed to provide broad, non-exclusionary distribution to the public (e.g., a press release or Form 8-K) before or at the same time that the information is disclosed to the Enumerated Person. The public disclosure may either disclose the material information or, if it is issued prior to disclosure to the Enumerated Person, may disclose that a conference call and/or webcast will be held to disclose the information. The public must be given adequate advance notice of any conference call and/or webcast and the means of accessing it.
4. If a forward-looking statement has been made, i.e., one that has a forward intent and connotation upon which parties can reasonably be expected to rely, an employee with knowledge thereof shall promptly report to the Legal or Investor Relations Departments any facts or events that might cause that meaning to change.
5. If a meeting or conference call is to be held after the issuance of a press release the purpose of which is to give analysts or major securityholders an opportunity to seek more information or ask questions concerning the information disclosed in a press release, the meeting or call shall be preceded by a press release at least three days in advance or as soon as the meeting or call is planned, if later, which shall announce such meeting or call and provide information including the date, time, telephone number and webcast URL for the meeting or call. The meeting or call shall be open to analysts, media representatives and the general public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such meeting or call held for the purpose of providing immaterial information shall not be subject to the requirements of this paragraph.
6. If a director or an employee of the Company learns of information that causes him or her to believe that a disclosure may have been misleading or inaccurate when made or may no longer be true, such person should report that information immediately to the Legal Department.
1. Adequate advance public notice shall be given of any quarterly earnings conference calls and/or webcasts. Notice shall include a press release issued to all major news wires and a posting on the Company's website with information including the date, time, telephone number and webcast URL for the earnings call.
2. A quarterly earnings conference call and/or webcast must be open to analysts, media representatives and the general public. Any such conference call must be recorded and a tape of the call maintained by the Company for at least 12 months. Web replay of such a call must be available for at least seven days after the conference call.
1. No Authorized Spokesperson shall provide "comfort" with respect to an earnings estimate or otherwise "walk the Street" up or down (i.e., suggest adjustments to an analyst's estimates). If an analyst inquires as to the reliability of a previously, publicly disseminated projection, the spokesperson should follow the "no comment" policy.
2. Other than publicly disseminated statements, as such term is interpreted in accordance with Regulation FD, the Company will observe a "quiet period," during which the Company shall not comment on its earnings estimates or other prospective financial results for the period for the Company. The quiet period will begin one month prior to the end of the quarter and continue until the Company's earnings information for the applicable period is made public.
3. Analyst reports and earnings models may only be reviewed to correct errors that can be corrected by referring to publicly available, historical, factual information or to correct any mathematical errors. No other analyst feedback or guidance on earnings models may be communicated to an analyst.
4. No Company employee should distribute copies of, or refer to, selected analysts' reports to anyone outside the Company. This is consistent with the Company's intention not to adopt any particular analyst report.
1. This policy will apply to communications between Authorized Spokespersons and Enumerated Persons at analyst meetings, investment banker conferences and roadshows (other than roadshows undertaken in connection with a public offering of the Company's securities that is not subject to Regulation FD). Accordingly, prior to the meeting, conference or roadshow, the Company will disclose either through a press release, an open conference call or a webcast, or any combination of these methods, any material information that is not already public and which may be discussed or presented at the meeting, conference or the roadshow.
2. If it is determined that material nonpublic information may have been disclosed unintentionally during the meeting, conference or roadshow, the Legal Department should be notified immediately. If the Legal Department, in consultation with other departments as appropriate, determines that an inadvertent disclosure of material nonpublic information has occurred, a press release or Form 8-K will be issued disclosing the information within 24 hours of such determination.
Use of social networks, including corporate blogs, employee blogs, chat boards, Facebook, Twitter and the like, to disclose material, nonpublic information is considered selective disclosure and would violate this policy.
The Company will not comment on market rumors in the normal course of business. When it is learned that rumors about the Company are circulating, Authorized Spokespersons should state only that it is Company policy to not comment on rumors. If the source of the rumor is found to be internal, the Legal Department should be consulted to determine the appropriate response.
Violations of Regulation FD are subject to SEC enforcement action, which may include an administrative action seeking a cease-and-desist order, or a civil action against the Company or an individual seeking an injunction and/or civil money penalties. Any violation of this policy by a director or employee shall be brought to the attention of the Legal Department and may constitute grounds for termination of service.

From accidents to malaria: ER doctor headed to Uganda
Staff writer
A Marion emergency room physician will spend two weeks treating patients with malaria, head and back pain, injuries, and the like when he goes to Uganda with Medical Missions Foundation.
This month Don Hodson will make his fourth trip to Uganda to work in a medical clinic outside the city of Gulu in northern Uganda.
It was a local pharmacist who inspired Hodson to undertake mission work. Lisa Buchholz, who grew up in Marion and now lives in the Kansas City area, started going to Uganda with the group several years ago and talked to Hodson about it.
"She'd been talking to me about going on mission trips for quite a few years and I never could work it into my life," Hodson said. "One of the reasons I made my retirement in 2014 was so I could go on mission trips."
Hodson said in Uganda he sees women carrying heavy loads balanced on their heads, and it often results in a trip to see him for back pain, neck pain, and body aches.
"Often the interpreter says they have chest pain, and a lot of those women, if you just push on their head, they say 'yes,'" Hodson said.
He also sees many patients with malaria. It can be effectively treated in the young, but if not treated early enough, malaria causes lifelong, chronic illness.
"This year we're taking a dedicated malaria team," Hodson said.
Not all patients' needs can be handled at the clinic, he said. He once treated a teen girl with malaria and a 107-degree fever who would not get better no matter what the medical team tried. She had to be loaded onto a bus and taken to a Gulu hospital.
He sees so many patients with vision problems that he buys reading glasses to take with him on his trips to Uganda.
"Just like us, they get to about 40 and need them," Hodson said. "There's no place to buy them."
People do walk in with abscesses and infections, but headaches and backaches are more common, Hodson said.
Hodson is assigned to work in the clinics because he is not a surgeon.
"We'll spend a couple days at each clinic," Hodson said. "Usually on Friday we'll end up going to a Catholic school to see the middle and high school kids."
Clinics are in concrete buildings. Patients waiting to be seen sit outside in tents that provide shade.
None of the clinics where he's worked has had running water.
Despite its tropical climate, Uganda is not as uncomfortable as it might seem, he said. Temperatures are often in the mid-80s.
"It's usually not oppressive," Hodson said.
Hodson has thought about doing mission work with other groups, but hasn't found a different group where he wants to volunteer. Medical Missions Foundation defrays some of the cost of the trip for volunteers.
"If you go on a lot of these, it gets expensive," Hodson said. "This trip is pretty fulfilling, and I'm busy enough with life I haven't wanted to do anything else."
A bit of Marion will be going with Hodson. A volunteer group called "Sew Much Love" at Eastmoor United Methodist Church is sending 50 pillowcase dresses with him. He's taken their dresses in previous years as well.
Another volunteer is taking a similar number of dresses made by another group.
Medical Missions also has a program to collect AFRIpads, underwear, soap, washcloths, whistles, and a baggie to wash the pad. Buchholz collects donations for the AFRIpads program.
Uganda is a landlocked nation in sub-Saharan Africa.
Its population is 38 million in an area roughly the size of Oregon.
Uganda's poverty rate is 19.7 percent.
Early childbearing, short birth intervals, and high numbers of births create a maternal mortality rate of 343 deaths per 100,000 births, compared to 26 in the U.S. Uganda's infant mortality rate is 57.6 deaths per 1,000 births, compared to six in the U.S.

Today is all fun because we are heading to Jaisalmer, the golden city and then to Sand Dunes of Rajasthan which one can never forget in his life. As usual we will need to start early and since we stayed back at Ramdevra last time you have one more chance to visit the temple. Make sure you carry lot of water with you, there is a fort to cover today.
Jaisalmer :
- Distance from Ramdevra – 176 kms [ Jaisalmer Highway ]
- Traveling time- 3 Hours min
- Time spent- half a day
- Start Time : 9:00 Am
On the way to Jaisalmer ask the driver to show you the Amla Harvest which comes just few kilometers before the city and its in a huge area. All the plants of Amla are covered with Green cloth to keep them away from direct sunlight.
And right after that you will get a glimpse of the fort which looks fabulous.
Places which you can see inside the Jaisalmer Fort
- Jain temple
- Museum
- Patwon ki Haveli
Jaisalmer ( Golden ) Fort :
Jaisalmer fort, situated on Trikuta hills, was built in 1156 by Jaisal a Rajput ruler.This fort is one of the only living forts in India and about the quarter population of city lives inside the fort. As a matter of fact there are many shops of handicraft items, temples and small lodges inside the fort.Jaisalmer Fort
It is made up of golden yellow sand stone and it stands almost 30 meters over the city. The fort is approached through four gateways name as Ganesh pol, Suraj pol , Akhaiyal, Hava pol.
One part of the fort was getting repaired when we reached. You will have to get down below the fort and take an Auto Rickshaw to get at the main area of the fort from where you can take a guide.
Inside the fort there is a Museum you should visit. At the end the guide will show you an entire map of the fort which is built on a rock using Laser and Satellite images. In fact that's an exact scaled map of the fort
Jain temple :
Jaisalmer is also known for its Jain heritage. With in the wall of the golden fort, there are a group of beautiful Jain temples of 12th and 15th centuries AD. These temples are dedicated to Jain believers Rikhabdev and Sambhavnath. The Temple is very beautiful and has lot of idols of which many are carved out of one single rock of marble. The temple closes at 1 PM so make sure you reach before that else you will have to skip this.
City View and the Tank
Right after the Jain Temple, the guide will take you to give you an excellent view of the city from one of the highest point of the fort. The part we went was pretty difficult to climb up as it was slant and had small blocks of stone pointing out which were used to get up.
At this point you will also see an old Top ( तोप) or Tank around there.
Museum :
There is a museum right beside Patwon Ke Haveli which should not be missed. You will have to buy ticket for it and if you are a tourist from another country you can rent a Audio Tour which will guide you throughout the museum. You should look around for Headset Sign with number on it and then play the tape accordingly.
This place speaks of many aspects and culture of Jaisalmer. It has Weapons, Currency, The family tree of the kings, bows, arrows, Kings Throne, Queen's bed and lot more which will take you through the history of this great fort. We have loads of pictures from this Museum which we have talked with details here.
Patwon ki Haveli :
The most elaborate and magnificent of all the Jaisalmer Havelis. It has exquisitely carved pillars and extensive corridors and chambers. One of the apartments of this 5-storey high haveli is painted with beautiful murals. There are also remnants of paintings and mirror-work on of its inside walls.
Throughtout the fort and the city there is a common design pattern that is followed and below is a sample of that.
There are few interesting spots in the fort which Ashish exclusively wanted to share with you all. He was taking all the photos so here you go :
The War Drums :
The drums which you see above were beaten at time of war and emergency. The king used to come down just below from where the snap is taken and used to get ready for the war.
The Well
According to the guide there is a well which Lord Krishna Dug with his Sudarshan Chakra at time of great need. Though it is no more used now but it is believed that waster is still there deep inside.
The Jaisalmer Fort Blueprints
And that's the mighty Jaisalamer Fort. It's really big and will take at least 3 days to cover it completely. It's little crowded inside but it's because of shops and the lanes which you can see how narrow they are. Next post we will talk whats inside the Museum and there are lot of exciting pictures specially the currency which was used in that time.

Despite horrible financial news, and Barack Obama's solid debate performances and virtual monopoly on campaign ads, John McCain seems to be "hanging around," to borrow a sports cliche. Rasmussen's tracking poll has Obama leading by only 4 percentage points. If you split the difference between Gallup's "traditional" tracking poll and its "expanded" one, you also get 4 points (as I understand it, the traditional poll figures out who "likely" voters are based on past voting behavior and "current intentions," while the expanded poll uses "current intentions" only).
If McCain really is, say, 5 percentage points behind Obama, then he's certainly within striking distance. Some might even argue that, at that spead, Obama isn't really ahead, given (a) the margin of error, (b) what happened to him during certain primaries and (c) the notion that black candidates tend to "underpeform" on election day in comparison to how they poll.
That's not my opinion, particularly in view of the likelihood of voter fraud and Obama's concerntration of resources in key states. But I'm pretty sure that, in theory, two and a half weeks is sufficient time to overcome a 5 point lead (assuming, again, that this is what Obama has).
In practice, McCain's only hope of overcoming such a deficit is through relentless advertising, including a healthy dose of negative ads. McCain's one advantage is the same one he had after the Democratic convention. Then, voters had heard far more from Obama than from McCain. The Republican convention closed this information gap and, as a result, McCain erased a polling gap of more than 5 points.
Today, McCain again suffers from an information gap. Given Obama's resources, McCain can't match his opponent ad for ad. But he doesn't need to — Obama's ads will begin to yield diminishing returns, indeed, that's probably already the case. McCain's would be relatively fresh.
If McCain has the resources, it's now or never. If not, it's simply never.

Set in Ysgol Dinas Bryn's main entrance, the design is informed by visual work produced by the pupils. It includes direct responses to their drawings, many of which are reproduced in the borders and final artwork. Chris held a series of initial workshops with the 'eco group' comprising members from all years in the school. This nucleus was supplemented with more drawings produced in workshops with years 7, 8 and 9. Themes explored included environmental, social, cultural and natural issues referencing history, technology and art. Chris' recently graduated student, local parent Lynn Charlton-Blore, led these and later glass making workshops at the school.
The flowing ribbon tendril lines in the main body of the design refer to the seven continents represented in rainbow colours celebrating Llangollen's international links with music, dance and song. The eye can follow the path and journey of each individual coloured line mapping the trunk and branches of the tree form.
The composite design is constructed from rectangular glass panels measuring 20 x 30 centimetres surrounded by a transparent bead and multicoloured border of 10 cm squares. Each of the 300+ pieces is unique and has been made from sheet, fritted and powder glass that has been fired several times in the kiln. These pieces, including several made by staff and pupils of Ysgol Dinas Bran, have then been assembled and bonded onto a toughened 6mm sheet of base glass.


text: I recently cut this small piece Veroboard to hold two vertically aligned miniature potentiometers on a receiver front panel. The three soldered tracks to the right allow connection of the audio signal to the volume control using shielded twin conductor cable. Very standard stuff, I've been wiring up audio amplifiers to volume controls like this for about four decades. But this one wouldn't work. It has a fault — it's there, in the picture above, right in front of your eyes… can you see it?

Welcome to our fourteenth Podcast at Recipe This and welcome to our latest cooking tips Podcast.
As I write this we are back at home having had a lovely two weeks in Spain. We ate out a lot enjoying lots of Spanish tapas, great restaurants, great days out and a four star hotel with three swimming pools. We also drove there and back from our house in Portugal and even after all these costs we still spent half the price of what we would have done if we had been on a package holiday in a three star hotel.
It actually rather amazed us in the savings that could be made on a holiday if you shopped around.
We had an amazing time and it was a great family holiday for the four of us.
But it did give us a reality check about the cost of package holidays and how if you are frugal you can go on holiday and save a small fortune. That money can then be spent on other things instead of being wasted on a holiday.
Now we plan to do the same thing again next year and we want to share with you in the CTFM 014 how we did it.
