"We see Africa as a bright spot".
Maliki Osman, senior minister of state at Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, talks to African Business about how relations between the city-state and Africa can be taken to the next step.
IN A VAST INDOOR aircraft hangar, decommissioned passenger planes and camouflaged fighter jets vie for space with bulbous helicopters reminiscent of an old James Bond film.
The lavish aerospace department at Singapore's ITE College Central might appear more like a billionaire's private collection than an education facility, but is a key part of efforts to boost the vocational skills of less academic Singaporeans.
The country's education system, ranked the best in the world according to a 2015 survey by the OECD, has long provided enviable opportunities for its students. A rigorous culture of high achievement and societal expectation, added to extensive government spending, means that few young Singaporeans are unprepared for the rigours of a competitive jobs market. For those who do not go on to leading universities, technical colleges like ITE provide an alternative route offering training in everything from hairdressing to computer game design.
Yet the general excellence of the country's facilities has a downside. Too many Singaporeans are reluctant to leave the comforts of their home nation--and abandon their children's excellent prospects--to take up business opportunities abroad.
"Once they have families, they have a harder time making the decision to move because of what they perceive as the impact on children. We do have an environment conducive to children and education that works," says Maliki Osman, senior minister of state at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to figures from the Department of Statistics, only 212,500 Singaporeans were based overseas in 2015. That represents a gradual improvement on the 157,800 who plied their trade abroad in 2004, but pales in comparison to the 1 m Chinese estimated to be working in Africa alone. The reluctance of Singaporeans to take the plunge is a cause of concern among local businesses hoping to expand in Africa and entice their skilled employees to the continent. Osman says that the country must continue encouraging young people to seek out new experiences if Singapore is to retain its competitive edge.

You may have heard about the cases of Suad Hagi Mohamud, Faraz Siddiqui, or Abousfian Abdelrazik. All Canadian citizens who were recently detained overseas, and received little help from the Canadian government to get back home. In some cases, Canadian consular officials actually worked against their interests. To help bring attention to the increasing trend of the federal government "disowning" Canadians abroad — especially if they happen to be Muslim and of colour — the Canadian Arab Federation and a students' union at the University of Toronto organised a panel discussion featuring these individuals as speakers.

However the current heat wave can have a detrimental effect on freshwater fish.
Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI), have issued a Distressed Fish Alert. Anglers and the general public are urged to report any sightings of distressed fish due to high water temperatures or low water levels. IFI also request that anglers voluntarily desist from the use of keep nets during this period, so as not to cause unintentional distress to fish kept for long periods in these nets. Reports may be made to the Fisheries Office on (071) 9624218 or the 24 hour hotline (no pun intended) on 1890 34 74 24.
New study shows value of Angling to Irish Economy : he result of an interesting new study commissioned by Inland Fisheries Ireland has revealed the economic value of recreational angling to the national exchequer. The study entitled "Socio-Economic Study of Recreational Angling in Ireland" which was commissioned in early 2012 and completed by Dublin based consultants, Tourism Development International (TDI). The study was undertaken to help underpin effective strategic planning and decision making in respect of the national angling product's development and marketing. It has found that direct spending on angling in Ireland amounted to €555 million in 2012, with indirect spending worth an additional €200 million and totaling €755 million. Recreational angling was also found to directly support 10,000 existing Irish jobs, many of which are located in the most peripheral and rural parts of the Irish countryside and along our coastline.
Quality Product: The Study also found that 406,000 people were involved in recreational angling in Ireland last year, with over 150,000 of these travelling from Northern Ireland and overseas. Over a quarter of a million Irish adults (252,000) held a fishing rod last year with sea, salmon and brown trout angling seen as the most popular categories where domestic anglers are concerned.
The quality of the Irish angling product, the friendliness and hospitality of the Irish people and Ireland's outstanding scenery were cited amongst the principal attractions of Ireland as an international destination for visiting recreational anglers. Revenue generated from tourism angling is estimated at approximately €280 million on an annual basis.

Bold and technically dazzling, the energy of Marc Rees' Patagonian tale flags too often
by Dylan MooreWednesday, 01 July 2015
Patagonian dancers in {150}
The brackets around {150} are ambiguous, almost apologetic. The 150th anniversary of Y Wladfa (The Colony), the semi-legendary "oasis of Welshness" in the Patagonian wilderness has given occasion in Wales for the celebration of a most unlikely story. One hundred and fifty men, women and children left their homes all over Wales and created a new life for themselves, against all the odds, at the other end of the world. Sixty-six came from the villages around Aberdare and Mountain Ash in a valley 15 miles north of Cardiff.
The Royal Opera Stores, a hangar-sized warehouse on an industrial park overlooked by the classic Welsh landscape of terraced housing clinging to picturesque hillsides plays host to the first-ever collaboration between Wales' two national theatres, the English-language NTW and the Welsh-language Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru. To make matters more complicated still, the production interweaves excerpts from a forthcoming S4C film, Galesa, which also features a heavy smattering of Argentinian Spanish.
At the centre of it all is regular NTW collaborator Marc Rees, who brings his signature style of theatrical-artistic puppet-mastery to bear on what amounts to a "live documentary": visual vignettes, discomfiting soundscapes and a general mood of playful discombobulation make {150} an irreverent take on the sesquicentennial that nevertheless fails to capture head and heart all at once.
Bonneted women clutch thick black family bibles to their breasts like babies, a language and culture held to their hearts. There are cameos for Michael D Jones (Dafydd Emyr, pictured below left), the preacher whose brainchild the colony was, and for John Daniel Evans, an escapee from a band of natives who impaled his three companions, scattering their skeletons and "inserting their severed sex organs into their mouths". There are quotations from Welsh nationalist playwright and Plaid Cymru founder Saunders Lewis, a video clip of beat poet Allen Ginsberg's "Wales Visitation, 1967" and the voice of Eluned Morgan, Y Wladfa's de facto writer-in-residence, looms large.
There is another history at play here too. In his scripted introduction, Rees acknowledges a debt to Mike Pearson's play Patagonia, performed at the Royal Court in the early 1990s. Brith Gof, Pearson's company of site-specific specialists have an enduring legacy in Wales that this collaboration cements. Both NTW and Theatr Gen have become expert in staging events on a grand scale, productions which – like the story of Y Wladfa itself – become lodged in the national consciousness. But despite {150} being, truly, a significant event, its luxuriating over two and a half hours and multiple media mean there are too many lulls. Galesa seems what it is: a separate work. Sometimes less is more, and bigger isn't always better.
The whole thing comes to life when a cast of young performers present the story of Y Wladfa at an imagined Eisteddfod, as it does when the bonneted non-Conformists inexplicably transmogrify into a weird amalgam of 21st-century hedonists and Bavarian bierkeller girls. The conceit surrounding their scattering of grain gives us a genuine, tactile connection with the unthinkably hard lives endured by the pioneers, but for the most part we remain what we are: onlookers from an altogether different time and place.
The production cannot be faulted for its ambition or the audacity of its scale. As a technical achievement {150} is stupendous; the set changes, in a venue quite literally packed to the rafters with stage equipment, are breathtaking. And after two and a half hours of promenade patchwork production, the moving final sequence that places us back in the landscape of Wales is confirmation that {150} is less about the anniversary of the colony and more about those hardy 150 souls, names listed here on packing boxes, whose echoes down the halls of history get ever louder over time. One can only wonder at what they might have made of it all.
{150} is at the Royal Opera House Stores near Aberdare until 11 July
The moving final sequence is less about the anniversary of the colony and more about those hardy 150 souls

STEPHENVILLE, NL – The Canadian Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE) has once again given the nod to College of the North Atlantic (CNA) and five of its co-operative education programs.
For the next six years, ending December 2023, the following co-op programs received national re-accreditation: Mechanical Engineering (Manufacturing) Technology, Industrial Engineering Technology, Geomatics Engineering Technology, Computing System Engineering Technology, and Programmer Analyst (Business).
Muriel Klemetski stated that the review team was impressed with CNA's "concise and well organized application," and gave credit to CNA for its response time and thoroughness for any additional information the review team required. She went on to say that CNA's commitment from an executive level to the co-op programming itself, as well as the accreditation process, was welcomed, and provided insights on its strategic and institutional context for these programs.
Elizabeth Chaulk, CNA's Associate Vice-President of Student Services (which oversees co-op programming), says the feedback from CAFCE is a reflection of the ongoing hard work and commitment of all stakeholders that is essential in the process, and helped achieve these positive results.
The Dean of Engineering Technology & Natural Resources, Brent Howell, couldn't be any happier with the news from CAFCE.
"The fact that a number of our programs have once again been accredited by CAFCE sends a strong message to current and prospective students, as well as industry stakeholders, that we have met and/or exceeded specified standards established by independent stakeholders. This accreditation also provides us with an opportunity to engage with colleagues across Canada regarding best practices, future opportunities, as well as ongoing program improvements and quality assurance," Howell said.
Stephen Warren, Dean of CNA's School of Business & Information Technology (IT), says this distinction is indicative of the continued diligence CNA upholds when it comes to its programs.
CNA will continue to have a representative on CAFCE's Accreditation Council and its review committees to actively participate in the review of new accreditation applications from other post-secondary institutions.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Xbox One Listing Spotted
by Liana Ruppert July 10, 2019
Liana Ruppert July 10, 2019
The Final Fantasy VII Remake, from what we've seen thus far during E3 2019, looks absolutely incredible and a true reimagining of one of the amazing games from the beloved franchise. That being said – outside of rumors – it's been heavily suggested that the upcoming Final Fantasy project would be a PlayStation 4 exclusive. Thanks to Xbox Germany, however, it looks like a Final Fantasy VII Remake Xbox One version might also be on the way.
Square Enix, in the past, has opened up about leading the remake into the next generation of gaming and that looks like it will also extend to Xbox. The official Xbox Germany Facebook page looks to have let the proverbial cat out of the bag when they posted an Xbox One ad for the game with the same release date set as the PlayStation 4 version. The posting was quickly taken down, though not before keen-eyed Resetera users grabbed a screenshot:
It's been a very long road to get to this level of reveals for the highly anticipated Final Fantasy VII Remake, and the E3 trailer earlier this year really showed off why the wait will be worth it to both veterans of the franchise and newcomers to the series. The game is looking to be an incredible homage to the original and honestly, we can't wait to see even more ahead of its release next year.
Final Fantasy VII Remake makes its official debut on March 3, 2020, exclusively to the PlayStation 4. For even more about the game:
"The first entry in a multi-part saga, delivering a level of depth inconceivable for the original. Mind-blowing story, unforgettable characters, epic battles and technical excellence collide. The world has fallen under the control of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a shadowy corporation controlling the planet's very life force as mako energy. In the sprawling city of Midgar, an anti-Shinra organization calling themselves Avalanche have stepped up their resistance. Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra's elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the group, unaware of the epic consequences that await him."

Part of my job as HonestReporting's Managing Editor is to call out the media for making unsubstantiated and speculative allegations against Israel.
That's why I criticized those media outlets that prematurely stated as fact that Jewish extremists or settlers were responsible for the appalling murder of Palestinian teen Mohamed Abu Khdeir. From a journalistic perspective, it was wholly unprofessional to broadcast allegations without stating that they were exactly that. After all, when the media report on criminal cases, accuracy demands the descriptions "alleged" or "suspected" somewhere in the story.
Now that the suspects (and that's all they are for now despite their arrests) have been revealed to be Jewish Israelis, there will be many on our own side who should reconsider the unsubstantiated speculation that they spread over social media platforms in recent days.
Police statements that left all potentialities open morphed into "facts" concerning honor killings and Abu Khdeir's sexuality. So many of us hoped and prayed that Jews had played no part in this so that we would not have to confront the devastating reality that some of our own could have committed this crime.
The rumors spread, aided by an information vacuum and uncertainty that those working in Israel's public diplomacy are only too familiar with. Israeli officials prefer to have all the facts in hand rather than making hasty and inaccurate statements.
I can understand the instinct to close ranks in a situation where Israel's supporters are being confronted with the worst possible scenario. What I cannot understand, however, are the almost desperate and ultimately futile attempts that I witnessed from normally level-headed people to deflect all possibility that a Jew could be responsible for such a heinous crime.
Those who did so are no better than the media that they sought to criticize for prejudicial reporting.
Correction: This article was amended on July 8, 2014 in response to a reader who correctly pointed out that the original text could be misinterpreted to imply that the author expressed his hope that Mohamed Abu Khdeir had been murdered for being gay. This was certainly not the intention and the updated text reflects this.


I simply want to tell you that I am just beginner to blogging and certainly enjoyed your web page. Likely I'm going to bookmark your site . You amazingly come with awesome writings. Many thanks for revealing your web-site.
Spot on with this write-up, I really think this website needs far more attention. I'll probably be returning to read more, thanks for the advice!
I'm amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that's both educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my hunt for something concerning this.

Synthetic biology vs. genetically modified organisms
Legitimate complaints about GMOs simply don't apply to synthetic biology
By Daniel Bartlett
Source: Concordia University Magazine
One of the most common objections synthetic biologists confront in their work is that they are essentially dealing with technology that suffers from all the same problems as genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Brandiff Caron, assistant professor and associate chair of Concordia's Centre for Engineering in Society, says researchers in the field often believe this is an unfair comparison, with many of them arguing that it is the public who has an irrational fear of the unknown around GMOs. This claim, he contends, simply highlights how experts misunderstand the complaints individuals have with genetic engineering.
"The numbers show pretty clearly that people don't necessarily believe that genetically modified organisms are directly dangerous to a person's health," Caron explains. "Most people are aware that the cross-breeding of plants and species have been happening for centuries – they're not necessarily new. What is new is the consolidation of the power to use these kinds of technologies into the hands of a very few huge conglomerates."
Rather than having false impressions about what is happening from a technical perspective, Caron thinks the concerns detractors have around GMOs often have more to do with the business and corporate practices that frame the field. "I think those are perfectly justified and legitimate considerations," he says. "Right now, a lot of those legitimate complaints about genetically modified organisms simply don't apply to synthetic biology".
Within the area of synthetic biology, Caron sees a lot of open questions in which researchers are hoping to learn from past mistakes and improve how the production of science takes place. He notes that synthetic biologists still have time to define the relationship between the users and producers of new technologies, and identify ways to diffuse their work to the rest of society.
"It's a really exciting field to work in – that's why I'm here."
'We're well placed to be leaders in the area'
Caron examines the public policy, social and ethical factors that shape people's relationship to technology at Concordia's Centre for Engineering in Society. He says the centre has an exceptional design that differs from many other institutions across the country.
"All scientists and engineers need ethics and communication training. What happens is that in just about every other Canadian university, institutions outsource these subjects to other areas, such as the philosophy department," Caron explains. "So, they go take a generic ethics course – as well as a writing course – that's meant for everybody."
Through the CASB, Concordia not only has professors and researchers in ethics and communication, but also in the ethics and communication of science and technology.
"We're really well placed to be leaders in the area of looking at this work in progress that is synthetic biology."

That is a really good topic! Those are pretty terrifying covers - I had to give away the ARC of Amity by Micol Ostow when i finished because of the cover!

One more flight we go.
And oceans drain the golden river.
The white sun has sunk behind the hills.
The Yellow River is pouring into the sea.
Let us go up one more storey.
Only after we had gone several dozen kms did the land gradually sink beneath the water and the sea turn aquamarine, though the turbid waters of the Yellow River could still be seen in strips and patches stretching far into the horizon. Then the morning sun jumped out of the water, tingeing the world with splendor. The Yellow River was like a broad road glowing in gold, meandering through the brocade-like territory of our motherland.


You could not meet a nicer bloke than Ian Wolfendale. He can see everyone else's point of view. He shows kindness beyond words, bravery beyond sanity and is the epitome of reason.
The only exception to this is the Hilton Tower in Manchester. You know, the massive one. Made of glass. He hated the building with a passion. Loathed it, detested this blot on the landscape. It was crass. Didn't fit in. Like a bloody big triffid hanging over Deansgate and creeping over the skyline in the unlikeliest places.
We were involved in a party for the Manchester International Festival last night in architect Ian Simpson's apartment at the very top of the tower. I asked Wolfie to come along into the head of the enemy mothership.
He's happy to say he's flipped his view. "It's something we've all embraced as a symbol of the modern city and something we're actually very proud of," he says. The hillwalkers of Wolfie's circle now use it as a point of reference from the top of Kinder Scout.
The view from the tower was spectacular, but I didn't feel twice as high up as the punters in Cloud 23, some 23 floors below. But you could peer into Coronation Street, see our office, the hills beyond and in one sweep you could see Old Trafford and the snaking line of rear lights heading to the match and the City of Manchester stadium to the east. It was amazing to be there. Ian's apartment, under construction, was also something to behold. It'll be great when it's finished. Manchester, that is.

Relax EDM Fans. Live Nation Buying Insomniac Will Make EDC Even Better
May 2, 2013 By Ben Hebert
Today the Wall Street Journal reported that Live Nation Entertainment will be acquiring ~ 50% stake in Insomniac Events, the promotion company behind Electric Daisy Carnival. This has driven fans to decry Insomniac and Pasquale Rotella for selling out to corporate America.
Yes, this is the same Pasquale Rotella who was offered $100 million for Insomniac by SFX months ago and turned it down.
Lighten up dance music fans, it's all going to be fine.
EDM right now is like hip hop was in the 90s. It's fresh, exciting and it's big money. The only difference is that you can book a top name dj that will spin a four hour set and sellout a venue that can hold 20,000 people or more. Very few artists in any genre can do this today and none will play for that long.
The market demand has created an EDM arms race that's mainly between juggernauts SFX Entertainment and Live Nation.
Live Nation currently owns Cream Holdings (Creamsfield festivals) and HARD Events. Terms of the HARD Events deal weren't disclosed, but for fans it's been a frictionless transition.
No one is complaining about how "mainstream" or "corporate" Holyship is.
Live Nation failed with Identity Festival and are looking to secure their position in the market. The ownership stake in Insomniac is a perfect match.
Pasquale Rotella is best at creating experiences. Electric Daisy Carnival has helped cultivate the electronic music festival scene and has really captured the energy and emotion behind dance music. From carnival rides, vivid art displays and the wild stage performers wandering the grounds, EDC sets themselves apart from most other festivals.
What Rotella and Insomniac have had issues with in the past are legal problems. From bribery allegations a the L.A. Coliseum to be called out by the LA Times, Rotella can't seem to get away from the people who want to label us all as drug fueled ravers.
Live Nation has the backend to support whatever kind of expansion Insomniac plans. They own venues across the world (full list), the House of Blues chain in America and not to mention distribution through Ticketmaster as well. More importantly, Live Nation has the high level relationships in place and legal team to support Insomniac in whatever market they choose to enter.
In 2012, Live Nation did $5.8 billion dollars in revenue (Billboard). They could have easily purchased Insomniac entirely, but instead they're taking an equity stake in the company, this isn't a buyout.
Live Nation has a vested interest in Rotella's success and must believe in his vision.
So instead of worrying about the Electric Daisy Apocalypse, be happy that Pasquale Rotella was able to find a company that supports Insomniac and will provide the means for them to grow.
You can't say he didn't deserve it.
Still worried?
Gary Richards, founder of HARD Events, on working with Live Nation after being acquired,
"Everything that we do is going to stay the same. I just have more resources to work with – more people to help me produce the festival, help me with finances, taxes, contracts – all the stuff that you gotta deal with when producing large shows.
That's not what I want to really be doing so by working with Live Nation, I can go out and be more creative and do more of the fun stuff and not have to get bogged down with a lot of that nonsense. Everything will still come out of my head; they are just going to help me piece it together a lot more efficiently and run it a lot better."
Richards says Live Nation will make HARD more efficient than ever: "Before we had an old Chevy and now we have the Ferrari that's rolling on all cylinders." via Billboard
It's going to be okay.

The Remarkable Story of South Dakota's Famous Wall Drug Store
How a family built a business out of billboards and free ice water.
By Taysha Murtaugh
It's hard to miss Wall Drug Store. Part of the reason the South Dakota pit stop off Route 16A is so legendary is because of its clever marketing: Hundreds of billboard signs sport slogans to ensure drivers know just where to stop for a free cup of ice water, or a 5 cent cup of coffee or the best doughnuts in the state or any number of family-friendly activities. In fact, signs marking the miles to Wall Drug have been spotted all over the world.
Located on Main Street in the tiny Midwestern town of Wall (population 882 as of 2014), the business, which just made Bill Clevlen's book of the Top 100 Things to Do In America Before You Die, employs more than 200 people during its peak season of summer and 60 year-round. Oh yeah, and they can attract up to 22,000 visitors a day from May to August — mainly tourists en route to the Badlands or the Black Hills to see Mount Rushmore or Crazy Horse. That's what brought my own family to the area when I was just a little girl growing up in Nebraska.
I still remember the old-fashioned soda fountain, the mechanical T-rex and the giant jackalope sculpture outside, where my siblings and I posed for pictures.
My parents probably remember the affordable coffee, the Western Art Gallery Restaurant, the shopping mall and the relief at getting us out of car and burning some of our endless energy. There's truly something for everyone at the tourist attraction.
"A big part of what we do is customer service — 50% of our business is repeat business," current owner, Rick Hustead, tells CountryLiving.com. "We're a very interesting, unique attraction that grew up in the hard times of the Depression and is continuing today into the fourth generation. We take great pride in what we do."
It's true that the great attraction has humble beginnings. The original drugstore, a mere 1,500-square-foot building on the other side of Main Street, was founded in 1931 by pharmacist Ted Hustead and his wife, Dorothy, a former teacher. In those days of the Great Depression, there were only 326 people in town, and every one of them was poor. Dorothy's father referred to Wall as "just about as Godforsaken as you can get."

Wall Drug Store
Suffice to say, it wasn't the best time or place to start a business, and the Husteads were hurting. They lived in a small space in the back of the store with their baby, Bill, with nothing but a blanket separating them from the store. Eventually, they moved to a house when they had their second child, a girl. They agreed to give it five years. "We'll make it go," Ted Hustead recalled Dorothy saying in a Guideposts Magazine excerpt on the store's site. "And just think, Ted, pretty soon that monument at Mount Rushmore will be done, and then there will be an endless stream of people going by. I'm sure they'll visit us!"
Five years passed by, and so did countless cars, but still hardly any customers came. Until one hot Sunday in July 1936, when Dorothy had an idea. She had taken the kids home for a nap but returned after the noise of cars on Route 16A kept her awake. "You know what, Ted? I think I finally saw how we can get all those travelers to come to our store," she said. "What is it that those travelers really want after driving across that hot prairie? They're thirsty. They want water. Ice cold water! Now we've got plenty of ice and water. Why don't we put up signs on the highway telling people to come here for free ice water?"
So, Ted hired a high school boy, and they went to work mocking up and putting up signs by the highway with each phrase from Dorothy's slogan:
"Get a soda … Get a root beer … turn next corner … Just as near … To Highway 16 & 14 … Free Ice Water … Wall Drug."
"Before he got back to the store, the first customers had stopped," their grandson and current owner, Rick, says. "They were so busy the first summer after the advertising, they had to hire eight local young girls to work in the drug store and the old-fashioned soda fountain. Boy, then they were really on their way."
Wall Drug
Wall Drug Goes "Global"
The Husteads kept putting up more and more signs along the highway, and now, it continues to be quite the spectacle.
But the signs didn't stay in the Midwest. While serving with the Red Cross during World War II, a family friend named Leonel Jensen posted signs all over Europe saying Wall Drug was 4,278 miles away, and a quirky tradition was born.
While on vacation in London, Ted posted a sign in the London Underground that said Wall Drug was only 5,160 miles away — and promised free information about the South Dakota store and area if they wrote. Letters poured in (we're talking 12 to 20 per day), and Ted was even interviewed by the BBC.
Servicemen continued to post signs during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Eventually, Wall Drug signs would reach lands as faraway as Paris, Kenya, Antarctica and Afghanistan.
Today, the store still supplies free signs and free bumper stickers for customers who want to spread the word about Wall Drug.
Ted and Dorothy's son, Bill, grew up, went to pharmacy school and returned to Wall to help run the store.
"He didn't know if he was going to come into the family business," says Rick, his son, "but he thought if he did he'd want to build it up into something the family would be proud of — that people, if they did stop, when they went back home, they could tell their family and friends, 'Boy, if you ever get out to Western South Dakota, don't miss Wall Drug. You're not going to believe it.'"
And that's exactly what he did, by adding options for retail, food and activities. Today, the store is a whopping 76,000 square feet and features a prairie food parlor, a traveler's chapel, a backyard with games and photo ops and a Western shopping mall that sells cowboy hats and boots, Native American turquoise and Black Hills gold, among other treasures.
The on-site restaurant seats 520, serves up legendary doughnuts, hot beef sandwiches and buffalo burgers and houses a collection of 320 original western oil paintings (including 11 Harvey Dunns — a famous South Dakotan artist — and two by Gutzon Borglum, who would go on to sculpt Mount Rushmore). And for decades, they've served free doughnuts and coffee to veterans.

Now, Bill's son, Rick, owns the place. His wife runs the camping supply store, and their 29-year-old daughter, Sarah, joined them five years ago — that makes four generations of Husteads. "My dad Bill was a superstar as far as impacting this business," Rick says. "He was so dynamic and had tremendous energy and such vision and he was fun to be in business with."
"Probably the most satisfying is continuing what my grandparents and my father started and seeing it continue. And now having our daughter, Sarah, in here."
"I think Wall Drug is a beautiful American business, employs a lot of local people and students from all over — to see it continue gives me the greatest satisfaction," Rick continues. "And continued well, not be diminished, to be as good as we ever were, only better."

When I got to Apache Oklahoma I had already finished high school. Minimum effort had gone into my matric and I was keen to put minimal effort into this second matric, or 'senior year' at Apache High. In my mind I had been sent to America to socialise and be an ambassador, 'period'.
I had to take American history and English was compulsory according to Rotary as we were 'foreigners'. I chose typing, ag shop (agricultural workshop – farming, welding, etc making me an automatic member of the FFA – Future Farmers of America), annual staff (making the school annual, acting as a journalist, selling ads in town – a hoot!).
Here's me focusing on my typing. I reached a blistering 19 words a minute with ten mistakes.
In the feature pic, fellow annual staffers Robbie Swanda and David Lodes slave over their hot typewriters.
Jim was a great teacher. He taught me all about 'counting fence posts'. He would pack a sixpack of Coors into a cooler on ice and we would drive around the district in his old red Ford F150 pickup along the farm roads with Jim recounting all the tales of who lived where, what they farmed and some history of the area.
We were 'counting fence posts'.
Here's Jim and that pickup.
Where they told us what to do and what not to do ("Do not fall in love"; "DO NOT DRIVE" and other valuable lessons ignored). Also, they said "After six weeks you will get homesick and lonely. Expect it." and I quite clearly and consciously thought Ha! What rot! Not me!
So we're driving along a country road and Granpa Crews says "What's wrong?" and I chirp a bright Nothing! I'm fine! and a flood of nostalgia washes over me and my eyes welled up with tears. Weird! Granpa Robert L Crews II, experienced old funeral director, mortician and undertaker that he was, had noticed something I hadn't.
I'd been in Apache six weeks exactly. Every now and then – not often, of course – as a youngster you had to acknowledge there was something to be said for the wisdom of experience.

This Summary is about a naturally occurring pattern, a way of thinking, acting and communicating that gives some leaders the ability to inspire those around them. Although these "natural-born leaders" may have come into the world with a predisposition to inspire, the ability is not reserved for them exclusively. We can all learn this pattern. With a little discipline, any leader or organization can inspire others both inside and outside their organization to help advance their ideas and their visions. We can all learn to lead.

Medco Taps MolecularMD to Provide BCR-ABL Testing for TKI Inhibitors in CML Patients
Originally published June 3.
By Bernadette Toner
Medco Health Solutions has added BCR-ABL testing to its personalized medicine portfolio, marking the tenth such offering under its DNA Direct clinical testing program.
The company said this week that it will offer MolecularMD's qRT-PCR BCR-ABL test to patients diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in order to monitor their response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib (Novartis's Gleevec), dasatinib (Bristol-Myers Squibb's Sprycel) and nilotinib (Novartis's Tasigna).
More than 95 percent of CML patients harbor a mutation in BCR-ABL, which is also called the Philadelphia chromosome. The protein produced by the BCR-ABL gene promotes cancer cell proliferation, and TKIs such as Gleevec, Sprycel, and Tasigna inhibit the activity of the mutated BCR-ABL protein to suppress the cancer's growth.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends BCR-ABL testing in CML patients at diagnosis to establish a baseline BCR-ABL level, every three months while a patient appears to be responding to treatment, and every three to six months once a patient achieves complete cytogenetic response.
Separately, Ariad Pharmaceuticals is using MolecularMD's ABL kinase domain sequencing technology to pick out best responders to its investigational BCR-ABL inhibitor ponatinib in the so called Ponatinib Ph+ ALL and CML Evaluation, or PACE trial. Using the test, researchers will give the drug to patients with mutant forms for BCR-ABL who are intolerant or resistant to Sprycel or Tasagnia or developed T315I mutations after receiving any tyrosine-kinase inhibitor, including Gleevec (PGx Reporter 03/30/2011).
Jane Barlow, vice president of clinical innovation at Medco, said in a statement that using BCR-ABL testing regularly to determine if a patient is exhibiting the appropriate response to the drug "can help ensure better clinical outcomes for the patient and reduce overall healthcare costs for the health plan."
Barlow told PGx Reporter that even though NCCN recommends quarterly BCR-ABL testing for patients taking TKIs, many physicians do not comply with these guidelines.
Medco researchers recently examined medical claims records of 359 CML patients who were treated with Gleevec and found that only 60 percent had evidence of at least one test performed at any time over the last one and a half years, while only 14 percent had BCR-ABL testing recorded on a consecutive quarterly basis.
"These findings are important in that regular BCR-ABL monitoring is needed to avoid delay in key decisions about CML treatment, as well as to help insure the best treatment outcome possible," Barlow said.
The company decided to launch the BCR-ABL testing program in order to address this "gap in testing to evidence-based guidelines," and also because "strict adherence to these medications is critical to the success of the treatment and thus can be life saving," Barlow said.
Medco will offer MolecularMD's BCR-ABL test as part of its DNA Direct clinical testing services. Once the pharmacy benefits manager identifies a patient in need of the test and secures a physician order, it will send a specimen collection kit directly to the patient. The patient's physician or phlebotomist then collects a blood sample and sends it to MolecularMD's CLIA-approved and CAP-accredited facility, where the test is performed.
MolecularMD will provide a quantitative report that will reference the International Scale, an internationally accepted standard for monitoring BCR-ABL transcript levels in CML patients. The report will also include information on the patient's adherence to therapy, which will assist the physician in "addressing any adherence barrier that might contribute to a loss of response to therapy or drug resistance," Medco said.
Barlow told PGx Reporter that the company is partnering with MolecularMD for BCR-ABL testing because of the company's "experience in this field," and the fact that the firm has "been at the forefront of research related to these medications and BCR-ABL testing."
MolecularMD founder Brian Druker, director of the Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University, led the clinical trials of Gleevec for CML.
Barlow also cited the fact that MolecularMD tests to the International Standard, "which allows for a more accurate comparison of test results from the same and different labs that also use the international standard."
Other companies offer laboratory-developed BCR-ABL tests, including Roche, Qiagen, and the Laboratory Corporation of America. Last year, Gleevec manufacturer Novartis began collaborating with Cepheid to develop a PCR-based BCR-ABL test on Cepheid's GeneXpert system that will also be compliant with the International Scale. The partners said they plan to seek clearance for the test through the US Food and Drug Administration, which would make it the first BCR-ABL test to gain FDA approval (PGx Reporter 10/13/10).

Tortrix moth caterpillars are small, green caterpillars that roll themselves snugly in plant leaves and feed inside the rolled leaves. The pests affect a variety of ornamental and edible plants, both outdoors and indoors. Tortrix moth damage to greenhouse plants can be considerable. Read on to for more information and learn about tortrix moth treatment and control.
Tortrix moth caterpillars are the larval stages of a type of moth belonging to the Tortricidae family, which includes hundreds of tortrix moth species. The caterpillars develop from egg stage to caterpillar very quickly, usually two to three weeks. The caterpillars, which pupate into cocoons inside the rolled leaf, emerge in late summer and early autumn.
This second generation batch of larvae usually overwinter in forked branches or bark indentations, where they emerge in late spring or early summer to begin another cycle.
The first steps involved in preventing and controlling tortrix moths is monitor plants closely, and to remove all dead vegetation and plant debris in the area under and around the plants. Keeping the area free of plant material may remove a handy overwintering spot for the pests.
If the pests have already rolled themselves up in plant leaves, you can squish the leaves to kill the caterpillars inside. This is a good option for a light infestation. You can also try pheromone traps, which reduce populations by trapping the male moths.
If the infestation is severe, tortrix moths can often be controlled by frequent application of Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis), a biological insecticide created from a naturally occurring bacteria. As the pests feed on the bacteria, their guts rupture and they die in two or three days. The bacteria, which kills a variety of worms and caterpillars, is nontoxic to beneficial insects.
If all else fails, system chemical insecticides may be necessary. However, toxic chemicals should be a last resort, as insecticides kill many beneficial, predatory insects.
