Canopy Growth Corporation's medically-focused business Spectrum Cannabis has entered the UK market, having formed Spectrum Biomedical UK, a new company focused on providing access to cannabis-based medicinal products to UK patients with severe unmet clinical need.
Under the British government's new classification, which took effect November 1, specialist doctors in the UK can prescribe cannabis-based medicines to patients managing a wide range of symptoms – from chronic pain, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, to muscle spasticity for those with multiple sclerosis.
Meanwhile, Canopy Growth's Toruń, Poland-based team, Spectrum Cannabis Polska, successfully completed its first import of medical cannabis after completing a rigorous regulatory approval process to have the product assessed and approved for sale.
In last week's import, Spectrum Cannabis Polska received its high-THC whole flower product, Red No. 2.
"This shipment is an important first step in a new European market towards building our pan-European operations," said Dr. Pierre Debs, Managing Director, Canopy Growth Europe.
Dr. Mark Ware, Chief Medical Officer, Canopy Growth added: "There is significant real-world and clinical evidence supporting the safety and effectiveness of cannabis-based medicinal products.


Meghan Krein's parents always said, "I'll give you something to cry about!" Mostly because she's a baby. So she figured, why not draw on her experiences and maybe help all of the other babies out there. But really, deep down she believes we all just want to connect - on some level. It's why we hang out at happy hours, go to support groups, or log into Facebook. We just want to feel - something. Good or bad, an emotion surging through our system let's us know we're still breathing and if we're feeling it, someone else is too. So that's what For Krein Out Loud is all about - to let you know you're not alone.


Microsoft dropped an undisclosed number of advertising and marketing positions Wednesday, a spokesman confirmed to Information Week.
Microsoft cut an undisclosed number of advertising and marketing jobs Wednesday, according to a company spokeswoman.
Redmond declined to elaborate on the scope and scale of the layoffs. "Like any company, Microsoft continually evaluates its operations and works to align the business to key priorities," a spokeswoman said in a statement.
"We can assure you we're thinking about the exciting new opportunities that Windows 8, Xbox and Skype present for our advertising and marketing partners," she said.
The move comes several months after reports that Microsoft would cut "hundreds" of marketing jobs.
According to InformationWeek, this latest round of layoffs included longtime Microsoft digital marketer Mel Carson, who worked as a liaison for members of the advertising and publishing communities for seven years.
] I have nothing but fantastic memories of working at Microsoft Advertising," he said.
Microsoft's Online Services unit, from which advertising operates, posted a loss of $1.45 billion in the last nine months, Information Week reported, while earning revenue of $2.1 billion, leaving little wiggle room.
Details about the cuts are scarce, but come a week after Microsoft announced a $6.2 billion charge against its earnings in the last quarter, to cover a write-down of its aQuantive ad business, which it acquired in 2007 for $6.3 billion.
Microsoft has been making headlines lately, first during the June 18 unveiling of its Surface Tablet, expected to debut later this year, likely around the October launch of Windows 8.
A week later, the software giant announced its official $1.2 billion acquisition of enterprise social network Yammer.

Hope your summer is off to a wonderful start!
I'm excited it's finally starting to feel like summer around here. My kids have been out of school for a few weeks and the fast pace of the school year is behind us.
My daughter, Ryann, is a rising senior at Viewpoint and my son, Dylan, is a rising freshman there. Fortunately, Ryann's *all important* junior year is behind her and went it very well. It was an incredibly busy year, but she put in the effort and it paid off. She'll be attending the summer program of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University to get ready to become editor in chief of Viewpoint's school newspaper.
My son, Dylan, is spending the summer playing hoops on Viewpoint's basketball team.
Here's a nice Tweet from the school's head coach, J.J. Prince.
I've been taking an online creative nonfiction writing class while my job as a senior editor for nonfiction at Angels Flight Literary West has slowed down for the summer. I'm also doing some freelance writing and editing.
Of course, I'll continue to edit this blog. I'm excited to have introduced some excellent contributors who bring valuable experience in their various areas of expertise. I'm always on the lookout for parents at private schools who are interested in writing for Beyond The Brochure. I strongly believe it's important to have a variety of voices to inform your private school admissions process.
And, we can't talk about summer without talking about books! I just finished two fantastic books which I highly recommend.
Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup is the true story of Elizabeth Holmes, the Stanford dropout and founder of Theranos, the startup company she claimed would revolutionize the blood testing industry. In just a decade, it grew to a value of $9 billion, making her a very young billionaire. She was recently indicted for fraud and faces 20 years in prison. How did she con so many high-powered and sophisticated investors and board members? The answer is complicated and the story is captivating.
You Think It, I'll Say It: Stories by Curtis Sittenfeld is a book of fictional short stories filled with dark secrets, wit and chilling characters who seem ordinary at first glance. As each story unfolds and characters reveals their innermost thoughts, we realize they are ordinary only on the outside.
In my earbuds: Forever 35, a very fun podcast about beauty products by two Sephora-obsessed friends who aren't experts but who just like serums. Writers Kate Spencer and Doree Sharfir talk about light topics like the best dupe for a pricey moisturizer and hard stuff like Doree's struggle with IVF. Each episode features an interview with a wide range of interesting people including beauty experts, writers and actresses. Guests reveal their own self-care practices and discuss what's in their makeup bag. Mini-episodes answer listener questions. Because the two hosts live in Los Angeles and we're the land of extravagant self-care trends, there's nothing too outrageous for them to tackle.

Q: How to pass a Javascript string to php on the same page My page has a mix of Javascript and php. Javascript is used to select a string from several choices. Then some php code needs to do something with this string.
I have seen some examples that seem to be talking about passing variables across different web pages. I'm just doing this all on one page and all I'm trying to pass is a string.
I guess another solution would be to use php to select the string, if that's possible?

A: By the time your browser renders the page, PHP has finished its job and closed the connection.
To pass some value determined on the client-side with js you need a new request. This means you need to use Ajax.

A: PHP parses data server-side (before the page loads), whereas JavaScript handles everything browser-side (after or on page load).  You can't pass JavaScript into PHP functionality unless you use AJAX to send the PHP script a variable:
JavaScript
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js">

<script type="text/javascript">
   // Find whatever string you need
   var something = $('.input').val();

   $(function() {
      $.ajax({
         url: '/path/to/php_script.php',
         type: 'POST',
         data: 'variable='+something,
         success: function(data) {
            $('.display_div').html(data);
         }
      });
   });

</script>

PHP
$something = $_POST['variable'];

// Do something with it
echo strlen($something);

A: You'll need to make a request to the server via JavaScript, since PHP is a server-side language.  You could use a POST or GET variable to send the string to the same page and then add PHP code to check for that variable when the page is loaded.
The PHP would be something like:
if(isset($_POST['string'])) {
// do something with the string
}

NBA fans are RAGING. More specifically, 76ers fans.
Kendall Jenner's boyfriend Ben Simmons is part of the team, and over the weekend she attended his game against the "worst" team in the league, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Because of the 'Kardashian Kurse', fans believe that is why the team suffered the huge loss, now calling a Change.org petition to make sure Kendall doesn't come to any more games and 'ruin' Ben's career.
"It has come to the attention of Sixers fans that Ben Simmons has rekindled his relations with Kendall Jenner, a member of the notorious, career-killing Kardashian/Jenner family," the Change.org petition reads.
"It is not a coincidence that the Sixers, who had started the season 10-0 at home, lost their first home game of the year the first time Jenner shows up. To make matters worse, the Cavaliers were winless on the road heading into their Black Friday matchup with the Sixers," the petition continues.
It happened to be the same game that Khloe's baby-daddy Tristan Thompson was competing in, which Khloe found hilarious seeing Kendall 'boo' him from the sidelines.
Who knew there could be so much drama surrounding the Kardashian's and a basketball game?


D-Mart owners Avenue Supermarts, who raised an IPO of 104 times at the offer price of Rs.299 per share, listed on stock exchange at a whopping Rs.610, which is double the price and after one hour, it is still hovering around 580 range.
The issue was oversubscribed a whopping 104 times for the retail store chain with 120 stores spread over Maharashtra and Karnataka under its iconic owner Radhakishan Damani, who was able to raise easily Rs. 561 crore through allotment of shares to anchor investors ahead of the IPO, that was slated to be the highest targeted among the retail buyers.
Damani, whose reputation was hit badly when his hostile bid to takeover cigarette makers VST Industries, controlled by British American Tobacco (BAT) in 2001 turned futile. It was more than 16 years after, damani re-entered the national share markets with his own company that he had built from scratch over the last 16 years.
As expected, the share price jumped to Rs.610 when it listed in both BSE and NSE and currently it is in the range of Rs.580 though analysts advised sell at Rs.550 range.

Introducing Hyper-V Server 2012 R2
Aidan Finn
In this article, I will give a brief overview of Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 and why you would consider using this free version of the Hyper-V virtualization platform.
What Is Hyper-V Server 2012 R2?
Hyper-V Server is the free version of Hyper-V that anyone can download and use for enterprise-class virtualization. For every version of Hyper-V on Windows Server, there has been an equal version of Hyper-V Server. In the case of Windows Server 2012 R2 (WS2012 R2), there is a matching release of Hyper-V Server 2012 R2. Hyper-V Server 2012 R2, as usual, has all the same features and scalability of the Datacenter edition of Windows Server Hyper-V, but with three exceptions:
Licensing: There are no free virtualization rights as you get with the Standard or Datacenter editions of Windows Server. This is a free product so you shouldn't expect everything for nothing!
Automatic Virtual Machine Activation: The Datacenter edition of Windows Server is the one that is most likely used in multi-tenant clouds. Therefore, this is the only edition that includes the new AVMA feature to automatically activate Windows guest operating systems that are running on an activated host.
The GUI: Hyper-V Server has only a Core installation option. This is not a big concern; all administration is done either via a simple wizard, command/PowerShell prompt, or remotely using the Remote Server Administration Toolkit for Windows 8.1 or System Center.
Other than that, you get all the Hyper-V and Failover Clustering features that are essential to Microsoft virtualization, including VMs with 1 TB RAM and 64 virtual processors, Hyper-V Replica, Storage Spaces, and Network Virtualization. Note that Hyper-V Server has a limited set of roles/features, relevant only to the functionality of a Hyper-V management OS. This stripped-down media makes the install of Hyper-V Server very quick.
The Hyper-V Server user interface.
Why Use Hyper-V Server?
The correct way to license Windows Server VMs is to license the host. For example, a host licensed (an accounting operation only) with two copies of Windows Server Standard is entitled to run four VMs with Windows Server installed as guest operating systems (in addition to the optional host installation for Hyper-V). With the Datacenter edition you get unlimited installations of Windows Server as the guest OS. So what place could Hyper-V Server have if you have to license the host for Windows Server anyway? There are a few scenarios, including but not limited to:
Newer version of Hyper-V: Maybe a customer has licensed all their VMs (via host licensing) for Windows Server 2008 R2 (W2008 R2) and has no intention of upgrading. But the sound of SMB-powered live migration, Hyper-V Replica, and other WS2012 R2 Hyper-V features are tempting but not affordable due to the cost of new Windows Server licenses and associated CALs. That customer could legitimately migrate from W2008 R2 Hyper-V while retaining W2008 R2 as the guest OS. User/device CALs would not have to be upgraded.
VDI: VDI virtual machines that are being used internally are licensed using client OS Software Assurance or VDA. That means that the virtualization benefits of Windows Server are useless to hosts that are dedicated to the role of VDI. This makes the free Hyper-V Server a great choice, especially because it has the same features and manageability that you would have for Hyper-V hosts that are running server workloads. Note: Hosting service providers must use Window Server via SPLA as the guest OS.
Test and evaluation: If you need a host that can run evaluation or test installations then you probably want to keep your costs down. Hyper-V Server gives you a legitimately licensed host that won't time bomb on you.
Linux workloads: It is possible that you want to optimize your Windows Server licensing in a heterogeneous environment. Maybe you have X hosts licensed for Windows Server Datacenter and you reserve all of their capacity for Windows Server VMs. This strategy would allow you to place Linux workloads onto hosts that are running on the free Hyper-V Server, and therefore limit your Windows Server licensing to only the required hosts.
The lowest denominator: Sadly, some people have administrator rights even though it is not in the best interests of their employer. Some consultants might ensure that the per-host licensing of Windows Server in a virtualization environment is correctly in place, but still decide to deploy Hyper-V Server. The benefit of this approach is that the on-site administrator(s) cannot enable other Windows Server roles because this just is not possible on Hyper-V Server. This approach ensures that the management OS remains only the management OS and sticks to Microsoft's recommendations.
Getting Hyper-V Server
You can download Hyper-V Server for free – simply complete a quick registration form and you can download the ISO containing the installation media.
Note: At the time of writing this post, Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 was not publicly available, but it was available on MSDN and TechNet.

As Trump publicly supports the Iranian people in their protest against radical islamic theocracy, Obamas team is telling him to back off.
They obviously support Obamas approach instead- which allowed cocaine importation by Hezbollah into the US as part of the Nuclear negotiations in Iran.
During the negotiations with the top officials in Iran over their nuclear program, the Obama administration stopped a program called "project cassandra" which was designed to put an end to Cocaine imports from Hezbollah.
Project Cassandra was a campaign launched by the Drug Enforcement Administration in 2008. It found that Hezbollah collected $1 billion a year from money laundering, drug and weapons trade and other criminal activities according to Politico.
The Obama administration halted Project Cassandra as it was approaching the upper echelons of Hezbollah's conspiracy in order to seal a nuclear deal with Iran, even though Hezbollah was still funneling cocaine into America. Officials at the U.S. Justice and Treasury departments delayed the project's requests to conduct relevant investigations, prosecutions and arrests. Obama eventually helped strike the Iran deal with several other nations in 2015.

Now is really not a good time to be working in the US or the UK. I have to say, returning to what Americans like to refer to as "Old Europe" (namely France) may have been my best move in recent memory – even if people around me doubted it for a time.
Why do I say that? Well, we do have high-speed Internet where I sit and I can see the economies flailing around like drowning - pick your favorite critter. What I'm wondering is how workplace morale in London, New York or Chicago is at the moment.
Anecdotally speaking, I've had long conversations with several good friends and scores of acquaintances in the past month and the topic they always bring up is how bad the economy is and how worried they are.
What I find most interesting is the paranoia of impending layoffs. Everyone mentioned that they're worried about losing their jobs. However, despite the slowdown of the past year, there haven't been a significant number of layoffs, especially within the tech sector.
I hope that managers (those who aren't panicking themselves) can appreciate the emotional toll such situations can have. In such uncertain times, our colleagues are looking for something true – assurances that they can continue to pay their bills, feed their kids, and keep a roof over their head.
Turbulent economic times are likely to spill over into the workplace in terms of efficiency and quality. Of course, it's still our job to remain professionals and not let events flow over into our professional performance.
That said, the economy may take some time in getting back on track and the world economy certainly can't afford to have everyone worrying – we have enough analysts on the TV doing that for us. Keeping a steady view of the situation and continuing to concentrate on professional duties won't necessarily solve the problem – but it might help it from getting worse.
I'm sure telling us all how much better of you are in France has cheered everyone up no end.

Circular economy is gaining wider international traction as a reaction to the growing signals that we are exceeding the sustainability limits to growth set by the boundaries of our planet. Besides its environmental benefits, the circular economy offers tremendous economic potential, which businesses have started tapping into. The finance industry has recognized the opportunities as well and many banks are already looking into ways to iron out the financing challenges involved. While market forces alone could create a circular economy, there is a risk of a slow transition and high opportunity costs.
In this situation, the European Commission and the European Investment Bank have joined forces to accelerate the transition. Through the establishment of InnovFin and EFSI and other risk sharing vehicles, the EIB is already playing an important role in bridging existing financing gaps and catalysing investments into innovation and the circular economy. Moreover, with the Commission's support, the Bank has reinforced its specialized advisory services to assist project promoters, both public and private, to overcome some of the challenges that are holding them back from bringing sound projects to the market. Fully aware of the multi-lateral and systemic approach required to meet the impending challenges, the EIB is in continuous discussions with the Commission and other stakeholders to find ways to improve the effectiveness of its financial instruments and advisory capacities.
Werner Schmidt is Director of the Environmental and Sustainable Territorial Development Department (ETD) within the EIB's Projects Directorate. The Department is responsible for the techno-economic appraisal of investment projects in the following sectors: water management, agribusiness and rural development, urban development and solid waste management and regional development. His department concentrates significant technical expertise on circular economy and bio-economy projects.
Werner Schmidt is an agricultural engineer and economist, who has been working on project, policy and sector advisory work for more than 25 years. Prior to joining the EIB he worked inter alia for the World Bank, the European Commission and the German bilateral technical assistance organization.

Guardiola vs Zidane: Europe's two most prolific coaches go head-to-head
When Pep Guardiola parted ways with Barcelona no one thought that his record of 14 titles in 247 games would ever be matched, but Zinedine Zidane is now closing in on that figure.
Zidane now has a better average of trophies per game than Guardiola (one every 19 matches compared to the Catalan's one every 22), but if you focus on his best period at the Camp Nou, Pep won a title every 18 matches, edging his rival.
The two coaches will come face-to-face this Friday in the Champions League in a game in which Manchester City hold the advantage after a 2-1 win against Real Madrid at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Two attack-minded coaches
Zidane's Real Madrid go into the game with the best defensive record in Europe's top five leagues, while Guardiola's Manchester City boast the best attack after scoring 102 goals.
They are two coaches who love to defend and attack, with Real Madrid notching at average of 2.4 goals per game, not far off Guardiola's 2.58.
Guardiola comes out on top in terms of percentage of matches won, having triumphed in 73.8 percent of his 639 games in charge, having lost only 74, while the Frenchman isn't far behind with an average win rate of 67.14 percent, losing 26 matches out of 210.
What stands out about Zidane is that from his 11 titles, he has won all nine cup finals he has managed in, and among them were the three consecutive Champions League triumphs, which is a trophy Guardiola hasn't managed to get his hands on since he left Barcelona.
However, if there's a coach who dominates domestically, especially in the league, it's Guardiola, who has won a total of eight.
He only lost one LaLiga Santander title to Real Madrid in his four years at Barcelona before going on to lift three Bundesliga trophies with Bayern Munichand then coming out on top in the Premier League in two of his four seasons with Manchester City.
In the first head-to-head between these two great coaches this season, Guardiolacame out on top.
The Catalan will now be looking to seal the deal in the return leg in Manchester and eliminate a Zinedine Zidane side for the first time in Europe and finally claim that much-desired first Champions League trophy for Manchester City.

Bobby Rahal and Jochen Mass, sharing a 962 prototype, took the lead with less than two hours remaining in the Sebring 12-Hours IMSA Camel GT race and went on Saturday to give Porsche its 12th consecutive victory in America's oldest sports car endurance event.
Rahal, the 1986 Indy 500 winner, and Mass, a West German endurance star, grabbed victory away from the 962 of Chip Robinson and Al Holbert, which led for more than eight hours before a broken turbocharger forced a costly stay in the pits with 1 hour 29 minutes left.
It took only nine minutes to replace the turbo, but by the time Robinson drove the car back onto the 4.11-mile Sebring International Raceway circuit, Rahal came from two laps down to take a three-lap lead.
Rahal, who drove the last two hours, crossed the finish line two laps plus 1:53.710 ahead of Robinson to collect the $50,000 first prize.
The winners completed 298 laps, and covered 1,224.78 miles, averaging 101.859 m.p.h.
Robinson and Holbert took the lead in the third hour, on lap 69, and held it for 191 trips around the treacherous course, until their turbo problem. Rahal took over on lap 259.
Third place went to the 962 of Englishman Brian Redman, Chris Kneifel and Elliott Forbes-Robinson, who were five laps down.
Sarel van der Merwe of South Africa, John Winter of West Germany and Danny Ongais were fourth in another 962, followed by Greg Pickett and Tommy Riggins finished fourth overall in a Chevrolet Camaro, winning the GTO division.


Gibco CultureOne Supplement may be added to any conventional neuronal differentiation medium to eliminate more than 75% of contaminating neural progenitor cells—resulting in superior neuronal cell cultures of evenly-distributed, differentiated neurons, enabling improved downstream assays, accelerated neuronal maturation, and seamless maintenance for 5 weeks or more.
For primary neuron cultures, CultureOne Supplement reduces the number of proliferating glial progenitors which can overgrow post-mitotic neurons. It can also be used to control the expression of glia through modifying timing of addition.
Get reduced neural progenitor cell contamination, accelerated neuronal maturation, and weeks of reliable maintenance. This video compares the clear difference with and without the use of CultureOne Supplement over 5 weeks in culture.
CultureOne Supplement was developed to help ensure differentiated neurons from human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)–derived neural stem cells (NSCs) have maximum utility in downstream applications.
CultureOne Supplement enables improved imaging, RNA expression, and electrophysiology assays. After 2 weeks of differentiation with CultureOne Supplement, images show evenly distributed differentiated neurons (MAP2+) with greater than 75% reduction in NSCs (SOX1+) and cell clumps compared to conventional differentiation methods (A). These cells had increased neuronal mRNA expression, reduced NSC mRNA expression (B), and exhibited higher spike rates as measured by multi-electrode array (MEA).
A. Imaging of differentiation at 2 weeks.
B. mRNA expression at 2 weeks by qPCR.
Neurons differentiated from NSCs with CultureOne Supplement showed an increase in cytosolic calcium when depolarized with KCl, meaning they express significantly higher numbers of voltage-gated calcium ion channels, an important marker for neural maturity and excitability. This, along with longer neurite outgrowth after 2 weeks of differentiation, demonstrates that CultureOne Supplement accelerates neuronal maturation.
Neuronal cell cultures differentiated with CultureOne Supplement were compared to anti-mitotic enrichment methods including Ara-C and mitomycin C. CultureOne Supplement–treated cultures exhibited improved neurite outgrowth and reduced cell clumping and death.
Figure 1. CultureOne Supplement controls astrocyte outgrowth and proliferation in neuronal cultures. (A) Primary rat cortical neurons and (B) mouse cortical neurons were cultured for 3 weeks In B-27 Plus Neuronal Culture System complete medium. Cells were treated with CultureOne Supplement at the time of plating (DO) or treatment was delayed to day 2 (D2), day 4 (D4), day 6 (D6), and day a (DB). Cells were fixed at day 21 and stained (images, A and B) with astrocyte-specific GFAP antibody (1:100, red). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Images were captured on the Thermo Scientific CellInsight CX5 HCS Platform. Thermo Scientific HCS Studio Cell Analysis Software was used to quantify the relative fluorescence from GFAP-labeled cells (graphs, A and B). The data represent the average GFAP fluorescence per field from 3 wells; 15 fields were captured per well. Data are reported as the mean ±SEM. Similar results were observed with mouse hippocampal neurons (data not shown).
Figure 2. No effect on number or morphology of neurons. Rat cortical neurons or mouse cortical neurons were plated on poly-d-lysine-coated plates and cultured in the B-27 Plus Neuronal Culture System. (A) Cells were treated with CultureOne Supplement at the time of plating, DO, or the onset of treatment was delayed to D2, D4, D6, and D8. (B) Rat cortical neurons were fixed at day 21 and neurons were stained with MAP2 (green) and HuC/HuD (red) antibodies. HCS Studio Cell Analysis Software was used to quantify the number of neurons and number of HuC/HuD-positive cells. Nuclei were labeled with DAPI (blue). The data represent the average number of HuC/HuD-positive cells per field from 3 wells; 6 fields were captured per well. Data are reported as the mean ±SD. Similar results were observed with mouse cortical and hippocampal neurons (data not shown).
Volumes of NDMC (neuronal differentiation medium with CultureOne Supplement) required for a typical two-week NSC differentiation regimen.
In our labs, 16,000 H9 ESC-derived NSCs plated in each well of a 96-well plate and differentiated with CultureOne Supplement for 2 weeks typically yield an enriched culture of approximately 9,000 differentiated neurons, or ~60% of the NSC starting numbers. Note that the yield may vary depending on the specific NSC line.
We offer CultureOne Supplement as a stand-alone reagent which can be easily paired with the Gibco Neural Cell Culture Starter Kit for simple, scalable, and superior neuronal cell cultures.


A fair number of lawyers seem to think the same way about the law — that the technology of the internet has allowed us to transcend experience and craft, and create a superior facsimile online. Success comes not from hard work done well, but from connecting with people online. Reputation comes not from the results earned for one's clients, but from the number of Twitter followers one has. Praise yourself online often enough, and get enough other similar artistes to praise you, and you too can be great.
Just so you know, it doesn't work that way. Other lawyers aren't going to refer their next big codefendant to you based on your Klout score, but on whether you've got the real-life skills and experience to do the job well. Clients who retained you based on your self-puffery aren't going to recommend you to others once they find out (and they will) that you were out of your league. Lawyer referrals and client references are the two biggest sources of new business you'll ever have. If you're investing all your time on building a killer online presence and maximizing your social media, you might want to reconsider. A better investment of your time would be gaining some real-life experience.
That's not as much of a Catch-22 as it sounds. How are you going to get experience without first getting clients? The preferred method is to work for someone for a while, first. Get hired as an associate in a real law firm that already has real clients. Work for them, get a lot of experience, and tada. If you are going it alone (a fine decision if done right), you can still get experience by offering your services "of counsel" to other lawyers, or getting on an indigent panel, or getting on your bar association's referral panel. Helping out other lawyers is great, because you'll get exposure to a lot of different kinds of clients and cases, and you'll have an experienced lawyer to learn from. Not just the nuts and bolts of the representation, but also the ins and outs of practicing law. "Of counsel" work doesn't pay as much as market rates — the lawyer who hired you is probably not going to pay you the same rate he's billing you out at — but it can certainly pay the bills. A lower fee for greater experience is a great trade.
And that's not to say that an online presence isn't important. The kinds of clients who used to look to the Yellow Pages for a lawyer (rarely the kind that pay well, of course) are now going to the net to find representation. Referring lawyers and existing clients will check your site to reassure themselves about you. But what's important about your online presence is not that you have one, or how many followers you have, or how many like-minded people commented on your last blog post. What's important about your online presence is not quantity, but quality. If you're going to write something, make it good.
If you write a blog, it's definitely going to be at least skimmed by a referring lawyer, to see whether you know what you're talking about. Self-congratulation, canned language and other content free of legal thought is actually going to hurt you. If what you write resonates with potential clients who actually read law blogs (most people don't, by the way), it might inspire one or two to call you.
Your online presence is important, but it's nowhere near as important as real-life work for real-life clients. Your work is not "creating the legend of yourself," but earning — earning — a reputation as a lawyer clients can trust to do the job right and protect them well.

Motau's 'Thulaganyo Ya Badimo'
Posted by Ashleigh Pascoe | Oct 13, 2021 | Editor's picks, Entertainment archives, Reviews
Thulanganyo Motau is a vocal and local artist that attends the University of Pretoria. If you are an avid PDBY reader, you will remember that in April 2021 we interviewed Motau regarding her EP, Souls Have Chosen.
During this interview, Motau left readers wondering what she was working on when we asked about her current projects and she stated that she had "already said too much". Now, we can explore this elusive comment. On 12 June, Motau released her new single, "Thulaganyo Ya Badimo". "Thulaganyo Ya Badimo" is a heart-touching track with elements that could not have come from anywhere but South Africa.
The cover art is authentically representative of the sounds that greet you in the introduction. The introduction will invite you to continue listening, and Motau's angelic voice will have you disappointed that there is only one song on this EP. It is the local feel, and the beating of the drums, that really draws listeners into her music.
It is slower and more emotionally complex than Souls Have Chosen – yet it still carries the same element of playfulness. Despite only being Motau's second release, it is clear that she is successfully exploring musical diversity. The lyrics of this song carry complex themes of religion and self-exploration that perfectly complement the R&B/Soul genre that this piece falls under. It is a soulful and soothing song that South Africans should engage in. Motau is a talented artist, and we cannot wait to follow what she has to offer.

The Crop Engineering Consortium is an initiative to coordinate approaches to crop engineering for the benefit of agricultural projects being run for food security and the global good in Europe, USA and Africa. The CEC was originally conceived as an alignment of strategies between three of the largest Gates Foundation-sponsored crop engineering initiatives, ENSA, C4 Rice and RIPE. The support network has since been extended to include researchers from 18 institutions with a shared interest in tackling complex engineering tasks in crops.
Aligning the use of Golden Gate cloning technology between members of the CEC allowed for significant acceleration of all projects through rapid construct assembly. The CEC now provides a gateway to the surrounding technologies of gene synthesis, NGS resequencing and robotic construct assembly at very low cost. This shared, open approach to synthetic biology has resulted in great reductions in development time originally anticipated for many of the projects. The sharing of construct data between projects through online libraries has also become a powerful resource. The CEC has now focused on the concept of coordinated exploration through an extended range of breakthrough technologies in cereal engineering. Participants in this year's workshop in Boston were put in direct contact with researchers from key new technologies that are predicted to change approaches to cereal engineering.
This year's CEC workshop focused on identifying a range of cereal engineering breakthrough technologies and their potential applications among the different projects; this year's meeting however was created to be a far more interactive experience than the conventional science conference. Armed with a pack of giant post-it notes and a pen, each of the forty-six participants were led through to a presentation theatre and listened to condensed talks from project leaders and new break-through technology experts.
Of the project leaders, Chris Voigt of MIT started off the proceedings with a talk on how prokaryotic developments could be used within the field of synthetic biology. Chris was followed by a talk from Giles Oldroyd for ENSA on the progress made towards developing nodulating cereals. Don Ort from RIPE was next with an overview of the seven main ways that RIPE is working to boost photosynthetic efficiency. After Don, Jane Langdale spoke of the steps made towards upgrading rice plants from a C3 plant to a more efficient C4 plant. Finally Anne Osbourn from OpenPlant on the importance of interdisciplinary exchange within the field and opening of access to new technologies to allow greater collaboration. These talks were then followed by Claus Gustafsson on machine learning, Nicola Patrol on CRISPR, Dominique Loque on fine tuning of gene expression, Jim Haseloff on the use of Marchantia, Neal Stewart on synthetic promotor design and finally Dan Voytas on Safe Harbour techniques. Between these quick-fire presentations, questions and ideas were jotted down by the onlookers and collected up. The afternoon began in a similar vein as we were introduced to an activity Christian had termed, 'The Marketplace.' Here, each new technology leader was placed on one of the six round tables and groups of the participants were given twenty minutes of discussion before being rotated to the next table. Each member of the moving groups had to try and conceptually address how that new technology could be used in their own study. The result was an assured one-to-one connection for each of the participants with an expert in an emerging practice and a powerful synthesis exercise for the technology leaders to ascertain not only how many areas their protocols could be used but also the potential of those technologies to be applied in previously unforeseen fields.
On the second day the applicants were tasked with splitting off into small groups of their choosing to try and create a project in ninety minutes using one of the technologies they had spent the previous day discussing to tackle a current issue of food security. These projects were drawn up on flipcharts with hypotheses, techniques and funding estimations which were to be presented to the rest of the group after the time was up. The time drew to an end and the participants were invited to present their projects and vote on others. After going to a final judging panel of the project leaders, the winners were chosen. First place was awarded to Jagger Harvey of the Biosciences East and Central Africa institute (ILRI-BecA) for his method that would allow African farmers to visualise if their maize was infected with fungal aflatoxins; a major issue that causes liver cancer and malnutrition when unknowingly ingested by humans or animals. With the contribution Dr. Harvey was awarded he can begin organising the processes of making this solution a reality which would dramatically benefit the lives of those affected.

Despite extensive Googling, I was not able to find a nice C# implementation that lets me determine the distance between the user's coordinate and the coordinates of the various database items…until I found this one.
Although wowi's implementation (thank you SO much for publishing it btw) is good, it uses a biiiig class and one enum. Being a solid kind of guy (oh yeah), I felt like breaking it up into smaller parts and introduce some of interfaces as well.
With all these small classes, the previously big class only contains calculation methods, which now can use Position instead of a latitude/longitude tuple.


What an amazing party. I can't believe how boys are just drawn to John Deere. My son also loved tractors, his grandpa is a cattle farmer in Alberta so a trip to John Deere when we visited was always on the list. Funny I made a dragon cake when Alex was 4, took me forever to make - I can so relate :) Looks like you are having so much fun with your boys Tracy!!
What a fun party and great memories (and photos!) to boot!
WHAT a great party for Toby. Reminds me of the pirate party I had for my son when he was his age. Grea memories for everyone.
I'm on the hunt for ideas for my little boys 3rd birthday party, which he has specified to be a dragon party. I've loved stumbling across your site. Thanks for sharing your ideas. It really looks like it was a special day. My fav. has been the fire breathing candles!
