Even if your name is Bill Gates or Warren Buffett, $3 billion is a lot of money.
And even if you're finding that the years fly by as you get older, 12 years is a long time.
Yet, on average, that's what it takes for a biopharmaceutical company to develop a new drug from discovery stage to pharmacy shelves.
Moreover, the ratio of researched treatments to eventually approved therapies – at somewhere between 5,000-to-1 and 10,000-to-1 – may be even more depressing for drug developers.
However, if all goes as planned – if a drug makes it into your medicine cabinet – then they'll make that money back… and more. Particularly if they come up with a real blockbuster.
But still, so much vital R&D money goes down the drain.
Little wonder then that a major drug player might want to realign its operations to be less focused on the boom-and-bust cycle of drug research.
Today, we'll explore a Big Pharma leader that's doing just that.
It got started on this move three years ago.
It just made a big promotion that will serve as a further catalyst in this same direction.
And its stock could make you 20% a year – or more – for a long time to come.
When Politics Gets Involved
Biotech research used to be mostly focused on finding new treatments for all manner of diseases, from cancer and epilepsy to diabetes and respiratory infections.
Now there's another factor that life-sciences firms simply can't escape – politics.
For one thing, the Trump administration has made it clear it wants to combat the rising price of prescription drugs. In fact, this was one of the few issues Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton agreed on during the 2016 campaign.
It also explains why the bellwether iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology Index (Nasdaq: IBB) is up only 1% over the past six months, a period during which the S&P 500 gained nearly 10%. Wall Street is worried about the impact all of this will have on profit margins.
Caught between the high cost of bringing new drugs to market and political pressure, you understand why some biopharmaceutical firms are focusing on other things – like cosmetics or drugs sold over the counter.
A firm we have talked about a few times in the past made that very move nearly three years ago. In light of recent events, our focus on that company and its corporate moves seems rather prescient.
GlaxoSmithKline Plc. (NYSE ADR: GSK) decided back in 2014 to smooth out its cash flow and R&D spending by moving into consumer healthcare. It did so by paying $20 billion for a big chunk of the consumer healthcare and vaccines units from Novartis AG (NYSE ADR: NVS).
And just last week, GSK handed investors what promises to be a strong catalyst for the stock – a new CEO.
A Powerful Pedigree

Steeped in history, spanning miles of Mediterranean and Atlantic coastline, and boasting exciting attractions, Morocco is a sightseer's paradise. Part of the appeal is the inviting climate but there is so much more to this diverse and historically rich country than meets the eye.
See Also: Morocco Travel
Within the enchanting medieval medinas of Fez and Marrakech, where snake charmers blow their hypnotic melodies amid the smell of the tanners' yards and the hustle and bustle of the open-air markets, the fascinating and exotic soul of Morocco can really be glimpsed. With Phoenician, Hellenic, Carthaginian and Roman civilisations all having passed through Morocco, it's also worth revelling in the immensity of the country's past by exploring its countless museums, palaces, mosques, tombs and ruins.
Furthermore, adventurous travellers can head south to explore the hot desert sands of the Western Sahara, and see breathtaking landscapes which are a privilege to behold; or for a completely unexpected holiday experience, head deep into the High Atlas Mountains for a skiing holiday with a difference. There are exciting 4x4, horseback and camelback treks to enjoy as well as lovely coastlines to explore.

Many of the sights around the cities are best explored on foot, but for those planning on criss-crossing the country, trunk-line trains run through the heart of Morocco, connecting over one hundred stations spread out over 1,184 miles (1,907km) of track. Bus travel is also a popular mode of transport.

Penguin Computing, which specializes in servers designed for Linux clustering and high performance computing, is bringing its expertise to the blade market and on Wednesday introduced BladeRunner.
The dense BladeRunner product is aimed at giving users more density and power for data center consolidation and clustering at a lower price. Twelve dual-processor blades can fit into the BladeRunner's 4U chassis. By contrast, Hewlett-Packard's blade chassis is 6U and holds 16 of HP's densest blades, the BL30p.
The BladeRunner compute nodes are available with up to two of Intel's low-power 2.4 gigahertz Xeon processors and include integrated switching for network connectivity, says Mark Walker, Penguin's vice president of product marketing.
Users can buy BladeRunner with Scyld Beowulf clustering software for an easy to deploy entry-level "cluster in a box."
"The whole idea is to make clustering easy," says Walker. "To make it ready to go. It comes prepackaged with manageability features in both the hardware and the clustering software. It's easy to install, easy to manage, easy to maintain. You can manage the whole cluster as a single node."
Penguin is smart to jump into the blade market as more enterprise users look to move workloads onto Linux platforms, primarily on blade servers, analysts say. Linux comes prepackaged on about half of all blade servers shipped worldwide, according to IDC. By contrast, Linux can be found on just 20 percent of rack-optimized servers and 11 percent of stand-alone servers.
A BladeRunner "cluster in a box" with one master node and five compute nodes is priced at under US$25,000. A full chassis, with one master node and 11 compute nodes is about US$42,000.
BladeRunner systems are available today.

No one will argue against the need for a competitive and vibrant political atmosphere. Very few too will agree the present political set-up is in the best interest of the majority of Nigerians. But with regards to the creation of a political party by coalition poised to undo the status quo, the question remains whether All Progress Congress(APC) will come as a solution or produce a new set of problems.
A nation without multiple strong, competitive political parties will inevitably be a nation in which power will rest at the hands of a few. Yet political parties like all other things old or new are accompanied by problems. The problems as they arise, and the approach to solving these problems will determine to a large extent how well the new party is to fare.
Since independence, political parties have been variously banned and allowed, according to the whim of the leaders in power. After the death of General Sani Abacha, the last military ruler, several new political parties emerged. The largest party in the legislature was the People's Democratic Party, with its strongest contenders being the All Nigeria People's Party and the Alliance for Democracy.
For several personal or non-personal interests the birth of All Progressive Party (APC) was a welcome development. Some Nigerians were quick to identify with the new party, some saw the advantage of a large and competitive alliance, while others still are simply waiting to see a political structure that will adequately represent their best interests of providing their requirements as citizens.
The Nigerian media has also successfully contributed by shifting emphasis to candidates as individuals rather than as agents of parties and party platforms. The presence of individuals like General Muhammadu Buhari, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, Nasir El-rufai, Babatunde Fashola of Lagos state and Rochas Okorocha provided strong indications that public attention now focuses on the personalities and ideas of candidates, rather than the benefits that the party as an organization can offer party loyalists. To that extent, little incentive exists for voters to support the choice of the party establishment or for candidates to adhere to a "party line."
It is essential however to note that forming a large political party via a coalition of individuals or other political parties in itself may not completely present solutions to the economic, social or political conditions that led to their need int the first place. The aims to which such a party is formed remains key in determining how such party is to be managed, as well as its acceptance, subsequent recognition and victory or failure.
We live in one of Africa's most diverse country, statistically the most populated and as argued by some, a contender among the wealthiest. But Nigerians, particularly young Nigerians are growing cynical and weary about the roles of those they elect into the government, and their roles as citizens. This cynicism is not limited to existing political institutions, but also new ones and the APC will not be exempted.
Why is this happening? Perhaps it is because Nigerians now believe their views are being ignored by people in power? More Nigerians continue have begun to share the opinion that elected representatives listen and respond to special interests as against average voters who they ideally represent.
The journey being undertaken by Nigerians who join the new party band-wagon is not going to be entirely hitch free. Not only from the actions of new parties biggest opposition intent on maintaining the status quo, but also from within the party's internal structure, and the Nigerian political atmosphere. The party will face the problem of not only selecting its candidates for subsequent elections, among a long list of favorites, but also tackle problems of party finance, party loyalties, and all related complications that will enable them formulate political and policy agendas, select candidates, conduct election campaigns, and monitor the work of their elected representatives.
Most of all to consider is how the new party aims to reduce the undue influence of powerful special interests—the wealthy individuals, unions, and corporations that use political contributions to advance their own legislative agendas.
The political terrain in Nigeria may not also be free from the complexities such coalition may bring forth. It is possible for one party to control the legislature and the other to control the executive branch, creating a political gridlock. A case being the United States government which separates the powers and functions of government between executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
In all, competition precedes change, at every level. Political parties are traditionally organizations that mobilize voters on behalf of a common set of interests, concerns and goals, so competing political parties indicate growing political activity and this must be welcomed. However the problems of the nation remain diverse and a new political party may not necessarily be the solution to problems of religious bigotry, ethnic rivalry, unemployment or terrorism. Especially when a majority of those in the new party APC have been members of the parties they now stand against.
With un-tested loyalties, oppositions from several parties, and neutral or opposing political king-pins such as former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, and Senate President David Mark, the formation of the All Progressive Party(APC) may bring with it, to the Nigerian public, new solutions, or entirely brand new problems.

…11 days until what you ask? An Evening With Jany Deng, of course!!
Who is Jany Deny?
Jany is a Lost Boy of Sudan who fled Sudan during the civil war between 1983 and 2005. After being forced to flee his home, Jany walked hundreds of miles to a refugee camp where he spent several years. Since coming to the United States as a refugee, Jany has helped found the Lost Boys Center for Leadership Development, where he currently serves as the director. Jany is passionate about helping South Sudan become stable since earning its independence in 2011.
Why come see Jany?
Jany is an incredibly amazing person. Besides that fact that his personality is infectious, he has that most beautiful outlook on life and the future. Just talking to Jany for an hour I feel like I have learned such a better understanding for the situation in South Sudan and where my place is to help. Jany is incredibly knowledgeable and understands that spreading knowledge is key to developing South Sudan. You'll be able to listen to Jany's story, hear his opinions on the current situation in South Sudan, and even ask questions!
With my days at JMU dwindling, I am beginning to look back at my college experience. I'm looking back on the concerts I didn't go to, the classes I didn't take, and the opportunities I skipped. Although I had a blast during my four years, there are certain things I wish I had done, certain things that I just didn't make the time for. At the beginning of my senior year I made a choice to step outside of my comfort zone and embrace opportunities I have never experienced before. I wish I had taken this class freshmen year, I wish it were possible to make this class a requirement. This class has given me a new perspective on the world that I just didn't care to see before. Even though last month of school can be stressful with classes coming to an end, you don't want to miss Jany (move around you're schedule and make time to come see him)! It'll only take a few hours out of your day (it can even serve as a study break, or a great way to procrastinate), PLUS it is literally a once in a lifetime opportunity. To gain some perspective on Jany's story, come out and see The Good Lie, featuring Reese Witherspoon. But most importantly, check out Jany Deng speaking at JMU!!!!

To me PP world seems to have stretched to its limits some standards of our world, like the educational system that should, along your early years, orient you toward what fits you better, simply an indication. Or the criminal justice/crime prevention that should "prevent", reduce or keep under control crimes, but we know how hard it could be depending on many factors. Nothing more than this has been altered/stretched in the PP world, apparently.
What if we would find a way to establish with a very little margin of error what's the more fitting work for each of us? Wouldn't the business companies take advantage of it? What if we would find a way to establish a way to really prevent crimes, even if with an "acceptably" margin of error? Wouldn't the crowd be charmed by this? Yes.
What I find interesting is that PP world is not just-another-dystopian-world, I mean, it seems to be not a consequence of some big war or catastrophe, but "just" of the evolution. Nothing seems to have been really imposed. The aspects described seems to be a sort natural evolution of that undetermined factors becoming determined. how would humanity adapt to it? Apparently loosing its humanity.
And it doesn't seems to matter if you are at the top of the hierarchy or at the bottom of it. For these reasons I find this world a bit more creepy than a totalitarian world or whatever where laws are imposed. In this world are not, they seems to be accepted. And for the same reason I'm less judgmental than I would be toward the characters and their behaviors.
What I'm trying to say it's that I find this show intriguing
The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.

Next the fabric is chosen, and only the highest standard of luxury fabrics are used to create each bespoke piece, the designer will gently draw out something suitable.
The customer's measurements are taken, as well as notes on build, stance and posture. Later, the pattern cutter sketches the customer's unique pattern, using expertise and instinct to shape the two- dimensional panels that will combine into a form-fitting garment.
Once a client has approved a design, and selected the fabrics, a sample is mocked up in calico. Tweaks to design, shape and the fit are all made at this stage to ensure meticulous perfection of the final garment.
The fabric is cut from this pattern and passed to the tailors; the creators of the suit/dress.
A few weeks later the customer comes in for her first fitting and can see and feel the beginnings of a suit/dress that previously existing only in her imagination.
Exquisite, hand-worked details are added as the suit/dress reaches completion – fine detailing, intricate hand-worked and embellishment horn buttons, and the discreet label. Then a final pressing and the garment is ready for collection.

Workforce Success Story Submitted By:
Spokane Area Workforce Development Council
Meet Teresa
Workforce Challenge
Teresa dropped out of high school her freshman year. Her family had lost their home; her mother began using drugs; and Teresa didn't have much motivation to continue on in school. At just 16, she said she started making the wrong decisions. "I was heading down the road my mother chose for herself," Teresa said.
Workforce Solution
Wanting to make a change, Teresa moved to Spokane in early 2012. She went to WorkSource Spokane, the local one-stop. Staff there directed her to the Next Generation Zone, the area's only youth career and employment center, which was created by the Spokane Area Workforce Development Council. She connected with program specialist Jessica Cato, who helped her get a driver's license, get her old high school transcripts and sign up for a GED class. She earned her GED in August 2012. Jessica then helped Teresa as she prepared for her next step into community college.
Outcomes & Benefits
Teresa is now enrolled at Spokane Community College and working to become a dental assistant. At just 18, Teresa is well on her way to achieving her goals. "Finding someone to help you and who is willing to understand what you want is not easy. The Next Generation Zone, Jessica, and everyone else who helped and believed in me gave me an opportunity that changed my life in less than a year," she said. "I thank them for everything."

Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois recently held it's annual Theology Conference. This year's topic was the relationship of the Holy Spirit and renewal in the church. Here is the summary of the conference from the conference website:
New developments in global Christianity, including the spread of the Pentecostal movement, challenge Christians to renewed attention to the Spirit of God. The 2014 Wheaton Theology Conference examines the person and work of the Holy Spirit in the Christian community and in the world. The conference explores various ways that God's Spirit searches, teaches, leads, and empowers the community of faith. With special attention to biblical and historical perspectives, the conference develops theological insights to support, educate, challenge, and encourage pastors, teachers, and informed laity.
Discussions from this conference range from early church perspectives on the Spirit, reflection on Trinitarian theology, the role of the Spirit in salvation and the role of the Spirit in interpretation. The focus on God the Holy Spirit is a much needed corrective within broader evangelicalism. I especially appreciate this conference's embrace of diverse evangelical voices as well as the overall call to renewal and reliance upon the work of the Spirit in Christian communities. Lecture's worth noting are Richter's discussion of the person and work of the Spirit in Scripture, Levering's discussion of the Spirit and the Trinity and Vanhoozer's helpful presentation on the role of the Spirit in interpretation. Whether you are a pastor, teacher or interested in learning more about this oft-neglected (yet vitally orthodox) doctrine, this conference material has something for you. The time spent watching these lectures will not be of little value. Click the link below for links to the videos. Enjoy!

Assam Rifles trooper kills 2 officers
The trooper, who later killed himself, is said to have gone berserk after his leave application was rejected.india Updated: Nov 04, 2006 10:50 IST
An paramilitary trooper killed two of his senior officers and later shot himself dead in a bizarre shooting spree in Manipur, officials said on Saturday.
A defence spokesperson said Avdesh Sharma, a sergeant of the paramilitary Assam Rifles, on Friday picked up his service weapon and attacked a captain and a junior commissioned officer (JCO) at their base camp in Nongdam Kuki village, about 30 km from Imphal.
"This was a gruesome incident with the soldier suddenly going amok and firing indiscriminately with his service weapon and killing the captain and the JCO," an Assam Rifles commander said on conditions of anonymity.
Sharma later shot himself in the head before his colleagues could overpower him. He later died in hospital.
"We are not sure as to the immediate provocation for the attack," the commander said.
The Assam Rifles has ordered a probe into the incident in which Captain SJ Rai Choudhury and the JCO Ranjit Maimon died on the spot.
Another Assam Rifles commander said the sergeant went berserk after the deceased captain rejected his leave application.
"Probably the refusal to grant leave irked the sergeant," the commander said.
In September, an Assam Rifles trooper killed four of his colleagues and later shot himself dead in a similar incident in Manipur.
Stress and long hours of duty in remote locations far away from their homes are the reasons attributed for the increasing number of fratricidal killings in the Indian army and other security agencies.
The Assam Rifles is currently engaged in counter-insurgency operations in India's northeast.

While I was working on posts for z3news.com and blogspot, one day my tongue was horribly painful while eating. Felt like a cross between a charlie horse in my tongue, and the muscle fibers being ripped apart at the root of my tongue. Next day same thing. It hurt so badly I was almost unable to swallow my second bite of sandwich, which therefore became my last bite for that meal.
Next day, I was washing my face at the sink and, eyes closed, rubbed/rinsed with the washcloth - and surprisingly hurt my neck a lot when my fingertips passed down over my jaw. Eyes bolted open - what was that?! - why did that hurt?! - my neck shouldn't be there! - that should be air space!!
Two (or more) of my lymph nodes were so swollen, there was barely any depression in my skin under my jaw line. I felt them. They did not feel like swollen glands when you're sick, rather soft and squishy. They felt like the lymphoma I'd felt on someone else before, slightly malleable, but basically quite firm. (God healed him, Praise the Lord!!!) I tried turning my head side to side and could feel some pulling there as everything was stretched so tight. I tried dropping my chin to my chest and only made it about halfway.
So it was pretty easy to put two and two together.
God is so faithful! By early that afternoon, the next time I looked in the mirror, the growths were down about 75%. A friend saw me at this point, and she immediately noticed how badly swollen my neck (still) looked.
Next morning, they were larger again - maybe back up to 50%. Apparently he was hoping I would think my authority had failed and I would succumb the second time around. So I repeated my prayer
As I write now [it was then evening of August 1], it is hard to detect the growths at all. I'd guess less than 10%. I'll hit them with another prayer booster shot before going to bed in a few minutes.
I just kind of got a chuckle out of it, and thought I'd share.
All thanksgiving, praise, honor, and glory to God!!!

Whenever someone makes the dramatic statement that phone calls are dead, we always have a little chuckle to ourselves. Try telling that to our customer account managers in our call centre, who process up to 30 calls each from the one client every single day!
Sure, there have never been more ways to communicate with people than at this very moment. Beyond phone calls, we use smartphones, SMS, email, social media, VoIP, and video conferencing to convey a message.
But if you talk to customers on a daily basis through your business phone system, then it's still just as important as ever.
Struggling to manage a growing fleet, or your current system's just not doing it for you?
Here are five steps to follow when choosing a new or updated phone system for your workplace.
1. Determine your overarching need
The first part to choosing a business phone system is identifying your overall endeavour. Which of the following categories do you best fall into?
a) You need to install a new phone system
You are likely a new business that needs to start from somewhere. Perhaps you just need to get a simple system up and running, but with the capacity to expand in the future (see point C). But right now, you just need to get the phones hooked up.
b) You are replacing an existing phone system
You have been dealing with it long enough, but your current system is just not right for your business needs.
Maybe at the time it was substantial, but now your business has evolved or gone through significant changes. Whatever the reason, the relationship between your business and your landline system is no longer perfect.
c) You're expanding an existing business phone system
You are using a great system that definitely has potential, like business growth that needs to be accommodated, or more advanced and up-to-date technologies that need to be integrated.
Your current position – and therefore overall need – should be a driving catalyst that helps you make a decision, so start there.
2. Choose between landline and VoIP
Once again, there's no right or wrong answer here; it will depend on your particular business needs. You might find yourself entering into this process focused on one over the other, and that's OK!
Don't discount the other entirely, though. Additionally, keep in mind that you should periodically reassess your business's phone system and observe changing behaviours and patterns that might well result in reevaluating your phone strategy.
Benefits of a landline (Schepisi's choice is one of our Mitel phone systems) include outstanding sound quality and clarity, and robust phone packages are specific and tailored to business needs.
VoIP, on the other hand, can be more budget friendly, as it uses your internet connection to place and receive calls. Quality cannot be considered 100 per cent reliable, but for many businesses the world over, VoIP has proven to be a steadfast method to keep local and international calling costs at a favoured low.
(In fact, we can go into much more detail when it comes to the landline vs. VoIP debate. So much so that we'll save more information for a future post – keep an eye out for it!)
*EDIT | May 2015 * That post is here! Check it out:
Landline business phone systems vs. VoIP: what you need to know.
3. Analyse your current phone system situation
What is your current call volume? Is this likely to increase in the future? (Think about any new staff you are seeking to help manage a growing call volume).
Then, you can think about how the phone will be used:
i) Will there be multiple handsets for call centre representatives, plus a couple across a number of boardrooms for regular conference calls?
ii) Will the majority of your team conduct their work remotely; from home; or from statewide, national, and global offices?
iii) Do you envisage a bustling call centre that receives (or makes) a heavy number of calls, day-in and day-out?
iv) Will you rely more heavily on other tools (particularly smartphones, but also video conferencing), but still need a phone system for general communication?
4. Consider scalability and flexibility
This factor is no doubt tied into the previous one: it's important to assess not only your current situation, but that too of your proposed situation moving forward. Do you envisage accommodating growth within the next 12 or 24 months?
Perhaps a VoIP solution, with the abundance of flexibility it can bring to your workplace, would be a better choice for a growing business.
5. Choose a secure business phone system
Along with the exceptional communication means offered with telecommunication systems comes the fear of network security and safety.
You must choose a phone system that promotes secure communications and protection of sensitive information.
Action the following to help keep your connection secure:
• Apply passwords to access voicemail
• Delete sensitive or confidential voice messages
• Immediately report anything that doesn't seem quite right
We've said it many times across all of our telecommunication tools, but it is really true that there is no cookie-cutter solution when it comes to business communication.
Company size, budget, requirements, location and additional features are just some of the factors that need to be fleshed out and considered when planning a new, updated or expanded business phone system.
What now?
Are you in need of a new (or expanded) business phone system? You know where to start:

Bassist Aaron Germain and drummer Alcide Marshall join Kenny Hawkins (flute, sax) and Duane Muziki Roberson (piano) for two sets of top-flight jazz.
Muziki Roberson's distinct style and creative individuality have placed him among the most respected musicians in the Bay Area. It's been said that "Muziki's music and playing will move you at the very depths of your being." His breathtaking compositions are always characterized by the hippest of rhythms and the deepest elements of swing.
Muziki arrived in the Bay Area in 1968 after 4 years in the Army, 22 years old with the firm idea that he wanted to be a musician, having met and become close to drummers Michael Carvin and George Suronovich in Viet Nam. George, who passed away some years ago, played with the rock group "Love." Michael and Muziki remain friends, have played together and plan to do so again at some point. Both of these musicians had a large influence on Muziki, who went to college on the G.I. bill and studied music theory and composition. As a pianist, Muziki is self-taught.
Kenny Hawkins, flutist, saxophonist and composer, has led and performed in various jazz, Afro-Cuban, and R&B contexts for more than 25 years, beginning as a drummer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, picking up the flute early and heading to Seattle where he joined the Joe Brazil big band and became a member of legendary tenor player Hal Stein's jazz workshop, gaining a firm grounding in the be-bop tradition. He then came to California where he was mentored by trumpeter Eddie Henderson and saxophonist Hadley Caliman. During this time, Kenny composed for and led a group that periodically featured Eddie Henderson, Richard Kermode (the great pianist for Carlos Santana), Hadley Caliman and guitarist Ray Obiedo, playing also with the likes of guitarist Calvin Keys and trombonist, Julian Priester. Although his first instrument is flute, he readily doubles on tenor saxophone, playing each with equal verve and depth.
Bassist Aaron Germain and drummer Alcide Marshall round out the quartet — both players with resumes that won't quit and both of whom we've heard to fantastic effect on the Bird & Beckett stage.
The return of Muziki and Ken to the Bird & Beckett stage in the company of Aaron and Alcide will surely be an exciting and satisfying night of jazz for your pleasure.

Instagram is easily one of the fastest growing social media platforms right now. Infact Techcrunch claims that "Instagram has doubled its user base, to 700 million monthly actives in two years". Here's a quick diagram showing just how quickly things have taken off for the Facebook owned platform Instagram. As you can see, the growth of Instagram has risen dramatically faster than in its previous years, arguably due to the amount of new features being added to the platform – making for a superior and more diverse user experience.
Some of the new features implemented in the last year include the 'my story' feature, that many might recognise from rival app 'Snap Chat'. This feature allows users to upload both photos & video content to their 'story', displaying this content for 24 hours only before it disappears for good. It shows you who's watched it, and displays them in order of upload – Like a story! This in turn makes Instagram user much more active, prompting them to post content regularly throughout the day, including content that may otherwise not be deemed worthy of their main perminant Instagram feed. Many user use the My Story feature to show behind the scenes content, or generally share their days experience with friends. Equally businesses can exploit this feature to serve adverts or promotional material, with a few clever ways to get around the current 15 second time restriction on each post. There's some really creative ways to stand out from the crowd – Look out for our future technical blog post on how to make video content for Instagram's My Story feature.
Other features that make Instagram a great business tool
Location tagging: Instagram allows you to tag your location in both its main image feed, as well as the My Story feature. This can show other users where you are based, & allows others who search by location to find your content this way. Tagging your location in 'My Story' can randomly trigger your post to be included in 'local stories'. Local Stories draw content from multiple users into one feed for that specific location, usually collated by town or county. This instantly gives your post more exposure to users who do not follow your account, but are watching the 'local story'.
Hashtags: Hashtags on Instagram work in the same way as any other social network. It allows you to tag your images and videos with relevant hashtags, helping other users find your content. Businesses who regularly post using the same relevant hashtag can end up dominating the hashtag image feed – resulting in more visibility. For example, if you're a wedding photographer, regularly posting images with #WeddingPhotography could result in your images being found by potential clients. The more images you post, the more likely your account will get found.
Shoutouts on related accounts: Instagram is flooded with accounts with large followings, often with hundreds of thousands, if not millions of followers. Finding accounts that are relevant to your industry is usually very easy. Tagging these accounts in your images can often result in you getting more traffic organically, as your image will show up in that accounts 'tagged image feed'. ALSO, many of these larger accounts will also offer an advertising service, meaning you can pay them to re-post your image/video to their larger following. This naturally drives interest to your account as users click through to your own page. If your content looks appealing it's likely they will start 'following' you too! It's an alternative paid advertisement method.
Facebook paid adverts can link to Instagram: As Facebook owns Instagram, it's no surprise that Facebook now offers cross posting to Instagram. This means if you are using Facebooks Sponsored Post platform, it's now an option to automatically choose for your adverts to be shown on Instagram as well as Facebook with no extra setup time – Subject to a few specification requirements.
Contact us features: Instagram allows you to link to your website, as well as a clickable 'contact us' button allowing for easy email or telephone contact from potential clients. There's also an in-app private message feature for private one-to-one discussions.
Don't wait, sign up to Instagram for Business.
If your business is already active on social media, or if you are looking to open your very first social media business account, we highly recommend that you choose Instagram as a platform. It's extremely user friendly, with great in-app editing tools to help make your content look great! Remember content is king, and that's where ElDRAW can help your business create effective photo & video footage amongst your own self shot content. We feel Instagram is here to stay for the long run, and it's potential is truly powerful – Don't wait, sign up and create an Instagram Business Account today.

Then, today (I'm using Baxil Standard Time, meaning even though it's technically the 14th as I write this, I haven't slept, so it's still the 13th BST), I made it through the leg of Sock 1:
And also as I type, there are eight people past the Sock Hockey finish line (Rav link). But I can see why most of them are there — most of them are knitting smallish socks, or knitting with largish yarn, or both, with one exception, who specifically noted that she knit aaaalllll day (another Rav link). The Sock Hockey progress thread (yet another Rav link) looks pretty promising, too — meaning that no one there looks like they're waaaay ahead of me.
So what gives with that one person who finished an entire pair of socks during the opening ceremonies?? Is she just the fastest knitter on the planet???
She used a knitting machine.
Guess I'm doing okay after all. :D
Of course, my poor TwitKAL has been sitting abandoned for two days, which I don't want to make a habit, or I really will end up with another UFO — and I'm right in the middle of a lace repeat, too, so if that turns into a UFO, I'll be pretty lost when I pick it up, not-terribly-complicated-pattern or not. Note to self: Finish that lace pattern repeat tonight or tomorrow.
Tomorrow's Ravelympics goal: Turn heel on Brian's Filey Sock 1, knit as much of foot as possible. If Sock 1 is finished, immediately cast on Sock 2 so as to avoid the dreaded Second Sock Syndrome.
And now, off for the night. Go teams!

Endolite is a part of the Blatchford Group, which has been making artificial limbs and prosthetic components since 1890. As one of the oldest prosthetic manufacturers, biomimetic engineering is at the heart of Endolite's design philosophy, where we believe the best prostheses replicate the dynamic and adaptive qualities of natural human gait and motion.
In 1980, Endolite developed the world's first carbon fiber prosthetic system, using materials developed for the aircraft industry. This technology made it possible for Endolite to create light, high-strength prosthetic designs, and paved the way for the development of flexible feet and shin elements that create additional energy return to enhance walking and sports activities. More recently, this design approach led to Echelon, the world's first commercial-scale hydraulic ankle/foot, and the subsequent development of Endolite's award-winning, clinically proven range, culminating with Elan, which is among the most sophisticated microprocessor-controlled feet available today.
This design approach is also evident in our range of award-winning microprocessor-controlled knees, beginning with the 1993 release of the first commercial-scale microprocessor knee, the IP, adapted to changes in walking speeds. Further developments included the introduction of smart programming, followed by the Orion, featuring a hybrid cylinder, providing microprocessor-controlled swing and stance resistance. Our latest achievement, Linx, is the world's first fully integrated microprocessor-controlled limb system. Working in unison, the foot and knee provide unsurpassed performance on some of life's most challenging terrains.
Enhancing quality of life and health for amputees through research, design and innovation is our commitment, and has been for over 125 years. We remain inspired and driven to innovate, each time coming one step closer to that intended by nature. For more information, visit http://www.endolite.com/

Iraqi forces claimed a major strategic victory in the battle against ISIS on Friday, as the Iraqi military said it has retaken control of the country's largest oil refinery from the insurgent group. The refinery in Beiji, which accounts for roughly a quarter of Iraq's oil production, was taken over by ISIS fighters in June during a sweeping offensive in northern Iraq.
Here's more on the military development from the Associated Press:
Two Iraqi security officials said government forces backed by allied militiamen captured the town of Beiji and lifted a months-long Islamic State siege on the refinery itself – Iraq's largest – hoisting the country's red, white and black flags atop the sprawling complex. Reached by telephone in Beiji, they said the army used loudspeakers to warn the small number of residents still holed up in the town to stay indoors while bomb squads cleared booby-trapped houses and detonated roadside bombs… The two officials said fierce battles were fought early on Friday around the refinery and that government warplanes strafed Islamic State positions around the facility… Video footage from Beiji aired on state television this week showed large-scale destruction in the city center, with many buildings badly damaged or completely destroyed… Beiji will now likely be a base for staging a push to take back Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit to the south.
The victory in the battle against ISIS came as U.S. Joint Chief of Staff Martin Dempsey made a surprise visit to Iraq on Saturday, where more than 1,000 noncombat American forces are deployed as trainers and advisors to the Iraqi army. In Baghdad, Dempsey told the troops that "the U.S. military had helped Iraqi and Kurdish forces 'pull Iraq back from the precipice,' " Reuters reports. "And now, I think it's starting to turn. So well done."

Arrival @ Copenhagen Airport (CPH), Kastrup, Denmark. Silver planes, silver columns, large panels of windows shows the sophistication of the airport. People lugging their luggages and shuffled around the terminals. Cabbed down to our Hotel. Communications wasn't a big problem as the driver knows how to speak english and is aware of foreigners touching down at airports.
What was ahead of us was a beautiful facade flashed with white paint; alluring you with its purity. The Hotel Alexandra. As i got off the cab and walk towards my hotel, lugging my bags when I heard, behind me, the jolly "jing, jing" of a bike bell. Back home, bike bells are a pleasant way to give fellow bikers or pedestrians a gentle "heads up - coming through." Not so much in Copenhagen. As the cyclist swerved around me he muttered something about a "bike track". A second bell rang behind me and i realized that i was walking in a bike path that cut through the lane. I shuffled as quickly as I could out of the way, realizing that here, a bike bell should be taken as seriously as a car horn.
Got our keys for our rooms. Surprised when they handled us something like a newsletter/newspaper with introductions and news about The Hotel Alexandra, pretty hyped to have a good read for it despite having only an one night stay here.

Beautiful reception area, booked the 'Double room deluxe - Classic Danish Design room'. We were welcomed by the homey interior of the hotel, the lobby just speaks of the Scandinavian flavor. The neat and clean carefully well thought interior designed by the Danish. Allowing the furniture in the space to shine and speak for themselves with just white walls to reinforce the beauty.
To be part of the Copenhageners for a day, cycling in bikes is a must. So these two were the buddies of the day for us. For many moments I was impressed by the ladies being calm and steady even with their skirts without revealing their delicates, almost like nothing ever affected them so I wanted to challenge that as well.
Set off in our bikes to Cafe Europa at Amagertorv street for breakfast.
Delighted to get a window seat, looking out - the streets were busy for a morning. "Jing-lings" of the bells lingers through the cities so often I'm already getting used to it. Somehow it delivers a sweet anonymous tune to the city, i must say. The facades reflects the clear blue sky from their windows which tells of its clarity. Aligning themselves in a way almost like greeting each other in the morning, "God Morgen"! (pronounced: good-more-gen) which is Good Morning in Danish.
Inside, the floor is this great dark wood parquet, large windows between the exposed granite columns, worn leather seat cushions. The waiters and waitresses shuffled their way through the hustling cafe getting to the tables; roars of laughters were heard from the neighboring tables. Impressed with how much a morning person they could be, they have already had an earlier head start of the day than us. Back in Singapore, supposing this timing at the cafe I suppose things wouldn't have been this way.
Set off in our bikes to visit the representative part of Copenhagen, Nyhavn.
Being so used to the high rise buildings back at Singapore, the colored blocks building appear to be like miniature models with my naked eye from far that it almost seem impossible to be real. Sat by the canal and watch the sea flow, enjoying the breeze and occasional jazz music humming through the streets. It reminds me of how i used to look at illustrations storybook that narrate stories with such adorable houses, it was surreal to actually see it in real life. After cycling around the canal soaking in some Scandinavia sunlights, we headed up to The Royal Danish Playhouse which is just further up by the corner.
She is a fellow tourist touring around, we exchanged smiles when i see her touring around this three-wheeled cycle with a large box up front - Copenhageners call them Christiania bikes.
Next up! Travelled down to Torvehallerne.
Torvehallerne is a covered folk marketplace with black columns supporting the roof, similar to those you might find in Spain, Italy, or even London. But since this is Scandinavia, everything here seems a bit more organized – and well designed. More than 80 vendors sell their goods inside, so the selection is breathtaking. There is fresh fish from the Baltic Sea, tiny cupcakes from famous bakery Agnes, and tons of specialty items from different Danish regionns.

There is fresh fish from the Baltic Sea, tiny cupcakes from famous bakery Agnes, and tons of specialty items from different Danish regionns.
The street is oozing charm and a relaxed atmosphere, the stallholders pushing cargos out of their way, several families with children and locals meet and hang out in the weekends enjoying the Frenchy charm.
Got our bikes and travel further up the city to Elmegade, right at the beginning of the street is the Acne Archive. The narrowed alleys were often potted with colorful pots of flowers. We got in and shop a little.
The Nordic gourmet have been flouring lately, hence we decided to go ahead with Manfreds & Vin restaurant to have a good taste of it for lunch.
After gearing up our fuel in this cozy little restaurant, we moved on to venture out more little indie hip shops nearby the street. Just a few shops ahead of the restaurant, we came upon Karamelleriet.
Karamelleriet makes handmade quality caramel. In the shop we can buy the goodies and also see how it is made by hand. Everything is made with care and only with the best ingredients. The staffs were very welcoming of us and allowed us to spend some time aweing over the process of making the caramel sweets. We picked up some packets of toffee, soft fudge and hard caramel back home as souvenirs.
Heading down to the Værnedamsvej street took some time, about 30 minutes. We were pretty exhausted by then and wanted to rest our legs after cycling the whole day. Thankfully we find ourself making our down to a cafe.
Impossible to resist the strong aroma of coffee that lured us to the cafe, Granola. The place reeks with nostalgia. There is a priceless old coffee mill in the middle of the room, colourful enamel signs, music from the 50s and 60s, and an old counter from the long gone days of colonial trade. We grabbed a cup of cortado each while we watched the Copenhageners go on with their life. Not forgetting to Instagram a photo of our cortado, the cliche ariel view food shot is a must when it comes to visiting cafes!
This nice and friendly Granola barista taught us a word created by the Danes "Hygge" (pronounced: Hug-geh), it roughly translated to something to coziness. However, Hygge has got to do more to with people's behavior
towards each other. Achieving hygge generally involves being with friends and family, and eating and drinking. She then ended with, "Ladies, it has been hyggeligt to see you around!" before we bid our farewells. The short and sweet stay at the Granola cafe perked us up to continue the rest of our trip.
Enough of eating and shopping, we decided to venture down to the Trendy Meatpacking District in Vesterbro where several art galleries and trendy places are blooming in Copenhagen. The district is known for its vibrant nightlife as well. We managed to arrive at the V1 Gallery before it closes at 6PM. We are about to view some visual art, installations, video and sculpture from the young contemporary art scene.
After viewing all the paintings and installations at the V1 gallery, feeling famished, we set out to get our dinner at Slagterboderne street. Trying our best not to get lost as following the maps weren't so easy here since there were many constructions going on with restricted roads.
Trendy Meatpacking District.
This is the former red light district of Copenhagen, that has slowly been claimed by the hipsters as their nightlife Mekka. We happen to see occasional prostitute pass by, but behind the run-down facades, there are lofts and office spaces of media companies and fashion labels. This mix makes the Meatpacking district the most coveted nightlife area of Copenhagen, with tons of cool bars right next to each other in the old market buildings. We took advantage of the happy hour at Karriere bar, a spectacular space with tons of art installations from superstars like Olafur Eliasson. The barkeepers seemed to really know what they are doing hence we went ahead with a cocktail. The night streets seemed vibrant with youngsters crowding the street.

*Boney James, who has four Gold albums, three Grammy® nominations, a Soul Train Award and an NAACP Award nomination to his credit, now has the #1 record on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart, #14 album on the Billboard R&B Chart and #53 on Billboard Top 200 Chart.
This is James ninth #1 Contemporary Jazz album. Contact released on March 29, 2011 on Verve Records boasts high-profile vocal guest appearances from Grammy® and Tony® Award winner Heather Headley; platinum-selling singer and former member of Destiny's Child, LeToya Luckett; and R&B superstars Mario and Donnell Jones.
His first single "Contact" was the #1 most added and is currently at #2 on BDS Smooth Jazz Chart. His first Urban AC single "When I Had The Chance" featuring LeToya Luckett, is currently #25 on the Urban radio charts and climbing.

And though notable music critics consider him one of the most influential jazz artists of his generation and Billboard Magazine named him "The No. 3 Top Contemporary Jazz Artist of the Decade," James prefers to not be labeled, saying, "I am just a saxophone player whose music has several different influences. Jazz is only one of them."
Boney is currently in the midst of a whirlwind tour of concert and promotional appearances.

Hi, this is relatively common. Using Settings to associate hyper text transfer protocol doesn't seem to work.
Go to
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations
and set the association for http manually.
I guess I am not that familiar with win10 as yet because I don't see what you are talking about. I assume you want me to go to settings and there is nothing in the upper right corner except minimize, maximize and exit.
Right click on the taskbar start button to get a pop out menu.
Choose and click on Control Panel
The control panel items box will pop up with titles in alphabetical order
Choose and click on Default Programs
In the listed choices, select the second choice
Browse down through the list to PROTOCALS
You are checking to see the internet browser that is associated with a link. If it is not the expected or there is nothing there then use the Change Program button to get the browser of choice
If the expected browser is listed but your email links are still not connecting then its some other troubleshooting path to investigate
As Rose posted, right click on that Windows flag in lower left corner of Windows desktop and you will get a pop-up menu from which you can select "Control Panel". Let us know if you get stuck from there, following the rest of what Rose posted.
If you get to Control Panel and there are only Categories displayed instead of a whole slew of tiles with titles, then double check what I explained in post #4 above about switching how Control Panel is displayed for you.
No, did not give up. Thanks for your concern. Did find it but went into settings first. Anyway all is good. Trying out MS Edge for a while also. Not sure I am going to like it. Have been a long time user of Fire Fox and some times Chrome. Never did like IE. Always have to try out new things, even food. LOL. Have a few other questions on what programs I should use for disc burning and what to use for playback but will go to proper section for that. Thanks again for all the quick help, all of you.

70th Cannes Film Festival: These ladies slayed Day 1 in their designer togs
From Bella Hadid's thigh-high slit to Elle Fanning's fairytale gown, dazzling fashion moments lit up the Cannes Film Festival red carpet on the first day. We look at the top picks.hollywood Updated: May 18, 2017 18:34 IST
The 70th Cannes Film Festival began at the French Riviera on May 17, and as always, the designer clothes were as much under the spotlight as the films themselves.
Model Bella Hadid oozed sex appeal in a thigh-high slit Alexandre Vauthier Couture dress. Rising star Elle Fanning swept across the red carpet in a fairytale gown by Vivienne Westwood.
The most noticeable trend was the champagne-coloured dress, with A-listers such as Lily-Rose Depp and Emily Ratajkowski looking gorgeous in it.
The top of Bella Hadid's dress had a corset-style design along with a plunging sweetheart neckline. Side-parted hair with soft curls and an emerald neckpiece completed her look.
This gown was very similar to that of Emily Ratajkowski, who wore Twin Set by Simona Barbieri.
Nineteen-year-old Elle Fanning, one of the youngest stars at Cannes, looked supremely elegant in the Vivienne Westwood off-shoulder gown. The scarlet red lips gave her look the perfect touch. This hand-painted gown was specially created for her.
Portuguese model Sara Pinto Sampaio, known for being a Victoria's Secret Angel, wore a dramatic Zuhair Murad Couture gown from the Spring 2017 collection. The gown had a plunging neckline and tiny waist. We love the loose braid, diamond jewels and the dramatic black eyes.
Actor Uma Thurman, jury president for Un Certain Regard, a section of the Cannes Film Festival's official selection, went for a pastel pink Atelier Versace Fall 2016 gown. The structured off-shoulder gown with a thigh-high slit was teamed with diamond jewels and minimal makeup.
Actor Jessica Chastain went for a black gown with an intricately embroidered velvet bodice by Alexander McQueen. Along with this dazzling outfit, she wore a diamond and ruby collar necklace. Check out her black eye shadow, ruby lips and soft curls.
The very youthful Lily-Rose Depp, daughter of actor Johnny Depp and singer Vanessa Paradis, looked every inch a nymph in a creamy white Chanel dress that featured gold-embellished detailing around the waist.

TAUNTON — The Mansfield boys' basketball team on Monday night showcased why it is the top seed in a deep Division 1 South field, and why it is now going to a second straight sectional final.
Senior John McCoy scored a game-high 25 points and junior Damani Scott added 23 points and 12 rebounds as the Hornets (23-2) defeated fourth-seed Newton North, 70-50, to earn a return trip to Taunton later in the week to face either Needham or Brockton for the Division 1 South title.
"There's eight teams this year that if they won the South championship you would say, 'Oh, I am not surprised by that,' " said Mansfield coach Mike Vaughan.
"We are playing good at the right time, and other teams are as well, so we are going to continue to do what we do, and hopefully try to find a way to get one more."
The first two quarters belonged primarily to Scott. The 6-foot-4-inch forward forced his way into the paint at will — scoring 15 points and reeling in seven rebounds to get his team out to an early lead. Then, as Scott found foul trouble in the second half, McCoy came alive.
McCoy, the Hockomock League MVP, drove at will to the basket, and his 12-point third quarter put the Hornets ahead, 50-37.
Newton North (18-5) got as close as 9 points in the third quarter, but with star senior guard Ethan Wright being suffocated defensively by Mansfield senior Sam Hyland, the Tigers were unable to mount a comeback. Wright, a Princeton commit, finished with just 9 points.
"I wanted [Wright] to get the least amount of shots off as possible, and try to get his shots down," said Hyland.
Senior Noah Neville and sophomore Tom Andreae led the Tigers with 10 points apiece.Karl Capen can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @Capen316.
