Critics on Wall Street want Johnson & Johnson to become the next big drug maker to decide that bigger is not, in fact, better.
The list of those calling for a breakup of the health-care conglomerate, which sells a broad portfolio of products from cancer drugs and medical devices to cotton swabs and Tylenol, has ranged from a Goldman Sachs analyst to CNBC's Jim Cramer. And given J&J's (ticker: JNJ ) underperformance over the past year — the stock is down 6% — it is easy to see why some would want the company to follow Baxter International ( BAX ), Pfizer ( PFE ) and other industry rivals by spinning off some of J&J's units to create smaller, more-focused businesses.
Barclays analyst Geoff Meacham, however, isn't among those voices. In a note published earlier Tuesday, he initiated coverage at Overweight with a price target of $115, which would amount to a 15% upside. The stock perked up slightly, with J&J rising 1.2% to a recent $102.45.
Gilead Sciences: Will 2015 Be As Good As It Gets for Hepatitis-C Sales?
Meacham says that calls for a breakup are premature and that J&J's enormous balance sheet, with its $37 billion in cash, "provides it the flexibility to acquire various growth assets." J&J made it clear during its third-quarter earnings conference call in October that it was on the hunt for acquisitions.
The stock has rebounded 11% in the past three months, but it is still down for the year. Investors are concerned about competition from generic biologic medications, called biosimilars, as well as slow profit growth and mounting criticism of drug companies over prescription drug prices.
Meanwhile, investors get paid a 2.9% dividend yield to wait while the health-care giant puts its cash to good use.
Granted, Johnson & Johnson doesn't have the pedigree it once enjoyed. Among the more recent headwinds are the expected loss of patent protection for the rheumatoid arthritis drug Remicade in the next two years, muted profit and sales growth, and a lack of game-changing drug launches.
But as Barrons.com argued back in September, the company's scale and breadth of brands position it to capitalize on the rising demand for health care in the wake of the Affordable Care Act. Last month, the Food and Drug Administration approved Darzalex, a new blood cancer therapy. And J&J could present as many as 12 new drugs for regulatory approval by 2019 capable of generating many billions in annual sales.
Johnson & Johnson certainly seems bent on using its $17 billion net cash position — that's $37 billion in cash and $20 billion in debt — to boost shareholder value. In October the company unveiled a $10 billion share repurchase plan, and told investors it was on the prowl for potential acquisitions.
The timing isn't bad. Many takeover targets have grown more attractive — that's to say affordable — after the selloff in biotech and pharma stocks in recent months.
The question is, what should J&J buy? Meacham's suggestion: Avoid large medical device companies in favor of drug makers, namely assets that can expand the company's position in the fast-growing markets for immune-oncology drugs and therapies targeting rare diseases.
To be sure, some things are beyond J&J's control, namely the strength of the U.S. dollar compared with other currencies, slowing growth in emerging markets, and the escalating political brouhaha over drug prices.
And at almost 16 times projected earnings over the next four quarters, J&J trades at a premium to the likes of Gilead Sciences ( GILD ), Pfizer, and Merck ( MRK ).
But with a juicy dividend and piles of cash at its disposal for smart deals, J&J could finally deliver the healthy returns investors have been waiting for.
Critics on Wall Street want Johnson & Johnson to become the next big drug maker to decide that bigger is not, in fact, better.

Time is TBD | St Albans
Mixed Netball
From 16+ to amazing. Men and Women. We play for fun, fitness and kindness.
St Albans, St Albans, UK
If we were to design a sport to encourage players to maintain the brain's ability to rewire itself it would be netball.
The fact that players can't move when they have the ball, players are restricted to specific areas of the court so that one player can't move from one end of the court to the other, players can only hold the ball for 3 seconds, and when a player has the ball the opposition has to step back a metre. This makes it hard for players to over-power each other. Being stronger, bigger, faster, only gets players so far. Players have to use the brain to find ways to connect and flow together to score and defend.
We play for fun, fitness, and kindness.
Players are not coached to follow a standardise development pathway. They are encouraged to explore netball by trying their own ways. By stepping beyond what they know they can do.
Each player enjoys their own learning journey at their own speed. It's very player-centred. Players experience being in an agile team that connects, adapts, and flows together.
A warm welcome is guaranteed.
We play under a "kind" rule. This means everyone is asked to avoid relying on being bigger, faster, stronger, and technically superior and instead use the brain the way science says is the best way. To think their way around opponents, barriers, and challenges. This develops what Michael Jordan calls "Think Power".
Older players use their changing bodies to discover different ways to play. Younger players discover how to beat players who are more athletic than they are. Together we play for fun, fitness, and kindness.
We now have a help centre where you are welcome to ask any questions.
We are a social enterprise. We have a number of free or discounted tickets so don't let a lack of money stop you from attending this session. Those that have money, please pay the full amount as this helps us to offer the free tickets. Contact me with any questions jon.thorne@LifeSlills21.club

Pop! Goes the Country is a weekly half-hour syndicated variety country music television series that originally aired from September 7, 1974 through January 1, 1982 for a total of 234 episodes.Originally hosted by Ralph Emery, the series was recorded at the Grand Ole Opry and featured comedy sketches, performances by and interviews with country music singers, both established celebrities and up and coming singers and musicians. In 1980, Tom T. Hall replaced Emery as the host. In the final year of the series, comedian Jim Varney became a member of the show, and the show moved from the Opry House to Opryland USA's Gaslight Theater.It is also considered as a spin-off of The Porter Wagoner Show. The Statler Brothers sang the show's original theme song.
The series' title referenced the influence pop music was having on country music in the works of the era's country music performers such as Barbara Mandrell, Lynn Anderson, Dolly Parton, and Anne Murray, all of whom appeared as guests on the program, although performers with more traditional styles such as Loretta Lynn and Mel Tillis were also featured during the show's run.

With Black and Latino aldermen at odds over new Chicago ward map, attention turns to racial crossover voting: 'I think they're being hoodwinked'
Girl in prison for shove gets released early
By By Howard Witt
Tribune senior correspondent |
Shaquanda Cotton, the black teenager in the small east Texas town of Paris whose prison sentence of up to 7 years for shoving a teacher's aide sparked nationwide controversy, was released Saturday.
Her release, ordered by a special conservator appointed to overhaul the state's scandal-ridden juvenile prison system, was the first of what could be hundreds as a panel of civil rights leaders begins reviewing the sentences of every youth incarcerated by the Texas Youth Commission to weed out those being held arbitrarily.
"We have no confidence in the system that was in place," said Jim Hurley, spokesman for the conservator, Jay Kimbrough. "And this case is an example of what we expect to happen if something wrong has been done to youths being held inside that system."
Cotton, who is 15, had no prior criminal record when she was incarcerated a year ago under an indeterminate sentence that could have lasted until her 21st birthday. Her case rose to national prominence and became the focus of ongoing civil rights protests after a March 12 Tribune story detailed how a 14-year-old white girl convicted of the more serious crime of arson was sentenced to probation by the same judge.
Cotton's case occurred against a backdrop of persistent allegations of racial discrimination inside the Paris public schools -- allegations that are the subject of a continuing probe by the U.S. Department of Education to determine whether black students in the district are disciplined more harshly than whites.
"When I learned about this case, I thought, this just looks so bad and smells so bad it made me hurt," said state Rep. Harold Dutton, the influential chairman of the Texas Legislature's juvenile justice committee. "I told [prison officials] I wanted her out of there immediately."
The superintendent of the Ron Jackson State Juvenile Correctional Complex in Brownwood, Texas, where Shaquanda Cotton is being held, called the girl's mother, Creola Cotton, Friday afternoon and told her she could come pick up the youth, Creola Cotton said.
But because it is a five-hour drive from Paris to Brownwood, and the weather in the area on Friday was severe, Creola Cotton said she couldn't reach the prison until Saturday morning.
Later Friday, prison officials, who had not told Shaquanda of her impending release, allowed her to call her mother.
'She nearly fell on the floor'
"She thought they were bringing her to the office to tell her I was not going to be able to visit this weekend like I was planning because of the bad weather, so she was already crying," Creola Cotton said. "I said, 'Oh, I'm still gonna come see you tomorrow. But you're going to be coming home with me.' She nearly fell on the floor."
Officials said Shaquanda Cotton was being released on 60 days' probation to allow her to access state health and counseling services. But after that, she would be completely free, they said. Creola Cotton said her daughter would not return to the Paris public schools but would pursue her GED at home.
What effect her release might have on the pending legal appeal of the youth's case was unclear.
Since she has been in prison, Shaquanda Cotton said that she had grown despondent surrounded by other youths who were hardened criminals, and that she had tried to commit suicide. Her sentence, which ultimately was up to the discretion of prison officials, had twice been extended, first because she would not admit her guilt as required by prison regulations and then because she was found with "contraband" in her cell -- an extra pair of socks.
Those sentence extensions drew the attention of Kimbrough, who was confirmed by the state Senate on Thursday as conservator of the youth prison system, which has been rocked by a sex scandal over allegations that guards and administrators coerced inmates for sex.
Kimbrough, a former deputy attorney general, said last week that he was convening a special committee to examine the sentences of all 4,700 youths in Texas juvenile prisons to determine how many might have had their sentences unfairly extended by prison authorities -- and that Shaquanda Cotton's was the first case he intended to review.
Prison officials said it was Kimbrough who personally ordered the girl's release on Friday.
Since the Tribune's first account of Shaquanda Cotton's case, her story has been circulated on more than 400 Internet blogs and featured in newspapers and radio and TV reports across the country. Two protests demanding her release were held in Paris and a third, to be led by Rev. Al Sharpton, was scheduled for Tuesday.
Even before news of her impending release broke Friday, the Lamar County District Attorney's office, which prosecuted her and pressed for her to be sent to prison for up to 7 years, made an abrupt turnaround and said the youth had served enough time and ought to be freed.
Court discrepancy revealed
"Let her out of TYC," said Allan Hubbard, spokesman for Lamar County District Atty. Gary Young. "Hell, she's done a year for pushing a teacher. That's too long."
Hubbard also backed away from claims he and Young made this week in numerous media interviews that the judge in the case, Lamar County Judge Chuck Superville, had had no choice but to send the youth to prison because her mother had testified that she would not cooperate with probation officials had the judge sentenced the teen to probation.
On Thursday, Young's official Web site contained this assertion: "This juvenile's mother (Creola Cotton) told the judge she would not comply with conditions of probation."
But a review of the full court transcript shows no such testimony. In fact, Creola Cotton repeatedly answered "yes" when asked in court whether she would comply with any conditions of probation that the judge might impose.
On Friday morning, after an inquiry about this discrepancy by the Tribune, the district attorney's Web site was altered to read: "Through her actions of non-cooperation, Ms. Cotton told the judge she would not comply with conditions of probation."

LLANGEFNI seconds travelled east to Mold on Saturday without captain Arwyn Roberts due to a first team call-up.
It was a thrilling game at Chester Road which in the end was narrowly won by the islanders.
Cefni only had 14 players which included Huw Tide, who came out of retirement, and Chris Huws, who admirably postponed family commitments, but an outstanding performance by the forwards, led by towering second-row and man of the match Gareth Jones, won them the day.
Tries were scored by the mighty No8 Llew Davies and lightning fast Wil Owen.
Great kicking throughout the game by fly-half Wil Owen lifted the team spirit.
A second half setback saw Now Rowlands miss an easy opportunity to add to the away score due to a broken finger, but Cefni held on for a great win.
Llangefni's first team made a disappointing return to action in WRU Division One North with a 25-11 defeat at Blaenau Ffestiniog.
Skipper Arwel Roberts scored all the Anglesey side's points – a try and two penalties – but Blaenau claimed the bonus point triumph.

Nigeria's Revenue Fell By Over 60% Due To Coronavirus – President Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the decline in the country's revenue amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who delivered President Buhari's remark at the start of the first-year Ministerial performance review retreat holding in Abuja on Monday September 7, said his administration adopted a N2.3 trillion economic sustainability plan to mitigate the effect of the economic slowdown.
He said;
"For the government, it has been a particularly trying time. As a result of the poor fortunes of the oil sector, our revenues and foreign exchange earnings have fallen drastically. Our revenues have fallen by almost 60 percent.
"Yet we have had to sustain expenditures, especially on salaries and capital projects, in order to keep the economy going.
"But we have also had to take some difficult decisions to stop unsustainable practices that were weighing the economy down."
President Buhari who denied claims of his administration being insensitive to the suffering of Nigerians following the increased prices of fuel and electricity, said he directed Ministers and senior administration officials to swiftly implement the Economic Sustainability Plan (ESP) to give succor to Nigerians.
He added;
"This government is not insensitive to the condition of our people and the very difficult economic situation and we will not inflict hardship on our people.
"In this regard, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has created credit facilities (of up to N100B) for the Healthcare (N100 Billion) and Manufacturing (N1 Trillion) sectors.
"From January 2020 to date, over N191.87B has already been disbursed for 76 real sectors projects under the N1Trillion Real Sector Scheme; while 34 Healthcare projects have been funded to the tune of N37.159B under the Healthcare Sector Intervention Facility.
"The facilities are meant to address some of the infrastructural gap in the healthcare and manufacturing sector as a fall out to the COVID-19 pandemic and to facilitate the attainment of the Governors 5-year strategic plan."

Dash CEO: No Budget Problems Here
The bear market has taken its toll as some employees forego their salary.
Bear season is taking its toll, and crypto companies are already shutting up shop. But Dash Core Group won't be one of them, according to CEO Ryan Taylor. In a recent blog post, Taylor addressed the "severe breakdown of market confidence," while reassuring investors that development for the sixteenth-largest cryptocurrency will not be affected.
The market crash hasn't been good for anyone, but it's particularly bad for projects that pay their bills in crypto. Dash Core Group, which is funded from mining rewards, pays its employees in the DASH equivalent of their salaries, denominated in USD. That means if prices fall low enough, the entire monthly budget might not be enough to pay for Dash's development.
The decline has already caused a hiring freeze and delays to employee salary increases and retention plans, as outlined in budget updates earlier this year. In the Q4 budget cycle, "run rate compensation expenses" are chief among the proposal requests that are voted on by the Masternodes.
Meanwhile, Dash Core Group compensation was estimated at 2,860 DASH for December, which CFO Glenn Austin said "will allow us to sustain our current run rate while still building up our buffer." The Jan. 1, 2019 budget cycle compensation figure is 3,185 DASH for core members. But at approximately $70, the Dash price has been more than slashed in half since a month ago, placing more of a spotlight on the buffer.
Is The Bitcoin Cash Hash War To Blame?
Taylor says in the post that "we will eventually hit a market bottom" and hopes that "we already have." He goes on to blame the hash war that unfolded between Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV and the ensuing FUD tied to "blockchain security," saying it "seems to have triggered a new wave of skepticism" and describing the damage as "market-wide" and "severe."
Dash itself was forked from Litecoin by founder Evan Duffield in an attempt to introduce features like privacy to the code, a focus that has since expanded to speedier transactions and greater scalability.
Taylor addressed concerns voiced by the community surrounding Dash Core Group's ability to sustain Dash, which he assured is better than the fate of other projects such as ETCDEV and Steem, both of which have suffered at the hand of this year's bear market. Taylor said:
DCG is not at risk of shutting down anytime soon, or of any significant cuts in staffing levels in the near term.
He pointed to a cash buffer, which is -hopefully- deep enough to last through the coming winter. Although he did not state any numbers, the size of DCG's cash buffer was estimated at $1.79M at the time of DCG's most recent quarterly earnings call on November 12th.
Dash founder Duffield was reportedly never a big fan of ICOs, and the project has taken the road less traveled by not bolstering the staff during the boom times. That frugality has been a saving grace as DASH shaved more than 90% of its value from last year's peak.
Taylor outlined Dash's unique budgeting system which "limits the monthly run-rate" and "caps our long-term spending," and also expressed a frustration amid a "disconnect between price and adoption trends. "
Dash Budget Marches On
The Dash network has a total monthly budget of 6,177 DASH, funded by a DAO-controlled treasury. With the DASH price currently hovering at $74.21, according to CryptoCompare, that gives the Dash project a monthly budget of $458,395. Dash Core CFO Glenn Austin said on the Dash forum:
We expect to request 60% of the available treasury funds for this budget cycle.
That means they will request no more than approximately $275,037. Based on the latest monthly budget cycle, 3,750 DASH has been requested via a variety of proposals. So far, 1,376 DASH has been allocated for passing proposals while 2,374 DASH reflects proposals that have yet to receive sufficient votes with a Dec. 29 deadline looming.
The Dash monthly budget is 6,177 DASH
Dash supply is capped at 22 million, 8 million of which are reportedly in circulation. It's a bit of a Catch-22, however, considering that it's the project's proposal system that, while keeping Dash afloat, has drawn criticism from those who believe that the Masternode governance system fuels centralization.
This isn't the first time Taylor has had to go on the defensive. The CEO has already faced criticism for spending treasury funds too liberally, with at least one masternode owner calling to remove him from leadership.
It's a stigma that the project might not be able to shake from those who are not drinking the Kool-Aid, but then again the Dash Core Team isn't looking to convince the naysayers, anyway.

I began listening to Craig fifteen years ago, when I moved to New York. As his music had a big influence on me as both pianist and composer, I was thrilled when he agreed to play on my last album, Duopoly. That project captured — in real time, with no editing, mixing or overdubbing — eight duets with artists with whom I'd never recorded. For Craig, I brought in a new composition of mine called "Fox Fire," a heavily-notated and through-composed piece exploring a series of evolving harmonies that rhythmically bounced between pianos. I suggested using the material as a springboard rather than a restrictive form so that we could focus on improvisation and interaction. From the moment we started playing, I felt instantly transported and free within the music, and had the sense we could go anywhere. There was a feeling of deep listening, a dynamic sense of push and pull, and yet it strangely felt like a conversation we'd been having for years.
My producer, David Breskin, and engineer, Ron Saint Germain, heard this same connection from the control room. After the recording, David pulled us into a small room at the studio, and asked if we would be interested in further developing this duo. Sixteen months later, we had a dozen concerts planned across the U.S. and the very same, amazing Ron Saint Germain to travel with us and document every night with a light-weight, carry-on-ready system he'd designed to optimize recording two grand pianos in a diverse array of settings.
Craig and I each wrote a few pieces for the tour, and we added Carla Bley's "Sing Me Softly of The Blues" and Sun Ra's "Love in Outer Space." Each concert was different, in some cases radically so. As the tour went on, we often left out large sections of the compositions in favor of developing new, wholly improvised sections which became more and more expansive. For me, this was an optimal experience as an improviser and something that can only be accomplished when musicians play night after night, with structure but complete freedom, not knowing where things might go, exploring the unknown.
An occasional response of listeners during the tour was that Craig and I, in performance, were not so much two different musicians as one sort of shape-shifting organism. As such, we've decided to name the duo Octopus. We hope you enjoy listening!


Indeed, we praise Allah ﷻ for this favour that He has bestowed upon you and I in the form of this meeting tonight, the night of Friday corresponding to the 11th of Shaʿbān 1436 AH. We invoke Allah through His perfect Names and Attributes to grant us correctness in our statements and actions – as I ask Him to afford us with beneficial and righteous knowledge, for He is the Magnanimous. We wish to congratulate our sons in advance for their anticipated graduation and we ask Allah ﷻ to grant them and us success.
There is something I would like to remind you and I of, and it is the issue of staying in contact amongst yourselves – after your graduation and after each of you returns back to their respective countries, homelands or any other country if it is not your own.
I advise you to maintain contact amongst yourselves, since it was these gatherings of lessons and knowledge in the presence of the scholars of Sunnah and Athār that was a reason for your coming together. So you came together by the virtue of Allah ﷻ at the hands of the scholars and benefited from them; thus, I advise you to uphold this brotherhood, togetherness and connection amongst yourselves. It should not be the case that these sittings are the last union amongst yourselves, of which this particular one could be the last, so beware of this!
Long ago, the people of knowledge and the students of ḥadīth would exchange letters and correspond with one another through writing when one of them found someone travelling to that particular land where some of his brothers or peers who were with him during his period of seeking knowledge reside. They would ask how they were, inform them of his own situation, he would also inform them of the situation in his own country pertaining to the Sunnah and knowledge. Or, in the case of a major event arising, he would inform them of whatever has occurred in his country and the position that the people of knowledge have taken regarding it, and so on.
Through this, the relationship remains, and the brotherly link is upheld and one remains in contact with his brothers. Similarly, I advise you to maintain communication with your scholars, the scholars of the Sunnah and Athār whom you have received this knowledge from and benefited from. This can be achieved by either visiting them, if Allah ﷻ permits that you return, or by writing to them or by conveying a message to them through any of the viable and available channels that you can convey your news to them, to ask about them and how they are. This way you remain in contact with them by asking them about the major events that happen in your country. As a result the closeness between you remains, the connection remains between you and your brothers, and your scholars are aware of your situation. Each one knows the condition of his brother. He is aware of the major events that take place in his brothers' country and his brothers' condition therein. In which case he remains plainly aware of his brothers' condition; but if he loses contact and becomes absent from him for years not knowing what his situation is, and loses contact with his scholars for years without them having knowledge of his situation after they were once well acquainted, then he returns to them after much time has passed and perhaps returning after the occurrence of a number of trials and incidents whilst catastrophes continue to affect Ahl al-Sunnah, perhaps even having affected him; so the scholars are then approached and asked about this individual when in fact the case is that the scholar no longer knows this individual even if he once studied under him for a period of time.
However this long period of time that has passed wherein there was a halt in communication causes them to hold the position of refraining from making any comment! This is fair, because they do not know his situation and all news about him has ceased, while the devastating trials and tribulations continue to devastate! Adversities remould themselves and his scholars do not receive any news about him.
Therefore, justice in their regard is that the scholar neither dispraises or praises, rather they remain impartial. We have heard something related to this from some of our scholars, and we have found that some of those who are asked about now hold a position within themselves against their scholars when it is them who have erred in reality.
The reason which has led me to speak about this topic is because today I was reading the biography of al-Hāfiẓ Abū Muḥammad ʿAbdullāh bin ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Dārimī, the Imām from Samarqand.
Within the biography I came across a statement that suits our need for this sitting, so I brought it along with me in order to read it to you all in summary so that you may witness how this pure methodology is now being dispraised by those who once deceptively crept into it, even if they claimed to ascribe to it! And has now begun to oppose its adherents and malign them with such vilifications. All of which does not harm us if we convey whatever we say through 'ḥaddathanā' and 'akhbaranā' because that is real knowledge, and anything other than that is ignorance. So if we convey from those Imāms who are rightly emulated, then those in opposition to them are of no consideration.
Here you see that Aḥmad refrained from speaking about this man, and how did he justify this? With the long absence between our brothers and us. Therefore, if your brother remains absent from you whilst the years pass by without any contact, and incidents arise and tribulations devastate, then he suddenly appears and desires that you commend him – what are you to say?! You are unaware of his current situation.
You are unaware of any new developments, so you do not have any choice but to say similar to what Aḥmad said; 'Yes I know him, but I do not know what has become of him throughout this long period of time.' But if you were to say this nowadays, there will be an uproar against you, an uproar against you.
Here do you see the statements of Aḥmad forthright, or not? He said, "Our brother's absence from us has been a long one", this means that there is no form of communication between us, we do not know what they are up to, we do not know what they have done; we do not know what has happened to them – whether they have changed or remained steadfast, we simply do not know.
"Our brother's absence from us has been a long one! What is your position with regards to that noble man?" Who is he referring to?
ʿAbdullah bin ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Dārimī, the Imām – Allah ﷻ have mercy on him.
You are only to commend those whom you are in contact with! As you are aware of them being upon the Sunnah and he is aware that you are likewise upon the Sunnah; he knows your position in championing the Sunnah, and when tribulations arise and unsettling times arise, your delightful and pleasant news regarding your championing of the Sunnah, quashing of innovation and clarification as it relates to those in opposition [to the Sunnah] can be conveyed to him.
That is never the case ! We seek refuge in Allah ﷻ from this. That is not what they intended; your brothers do not seek this from you. Rather, they only desire to know your pleasant and good news. But if you are a student of knowledge and you go back to your country only to become disconnected from your scholars and peers, this certainly sparks doubt. In this case, the best scenario is the one of Al-Imām Aḥmad رحمه الله for your scholars to say 'Our brother's absence from us has been a long one', before eventually directing you to who? They direct to the one who is propagating the daʿwah, actively educating, actively teaching, encouraging with the Sunnah and actively defending it. This is the one they will refer to. Both will come to a realisation, but what has the one who pursued and maintained contact with his brothers and scholars come to realise, and what will the other one come to realise?
We ask Allah ﷻ to not make this our last acquaintance and to make our relationship for His sake. I also ask Him to divert any trial and tribulation away from us, our brothers and those whom we love, whether [these trials] be apparent or hidden, and to grant us steadfastness upon the truth and guidance until we meet Him, indeed He is The Magnanimous.

Talking about history in modern terms
Shakespeare's Globe Exhibition and Tour offers visitors to London the chance to explore and experience a unique piece of England's history. As a working theatre, with a rich historical and cultural past, the challenge is to make visits not just a learning experience, but also a fun and engaging one. Our challenge was to create a campaign that could really bring it to life across all channels. Our approach was to get 'up close' to the people leading the tours and telling the stories. Our insight came from drawing parallels between Shakespeare's day and modern culture, when the South Bank was a type of 'Elizabethan Las Vegas'.
We created the campaign around key stories drawn from the exhibition and tour, for example: how Shakespearian audiences throwing apples at actors was like a modern day reality TV voting off; and how Elizabethan London's theatre entertainment was as popular as today's box sets. These and other stories were brought to life in advertising that used vivid colour, mixed-media imagery and dynamic media.

Will it be Galway or Limerick to lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup on Sunday?
The GAA has confirmed a list of events and ceremonies which will take place around this Sunday's All-Ireland hurling finals at Croke Park.
In a new initiative, the GAA will be present in Dublin Airport's Terminal 2 tomorrow (Friday) from 10am to 2pm with the Liam MacCarthy Cup and a fáilte abhaile team to welcome home supporters who have travelled back from overseas especially to be part of the All-Ireland weekend.
At 10am on Sunday morning, members of the Defence Forces will be involved in a special ceremony to raise the national tricolor over the Dineen/Hill 16 End of the stadium.
Later in the day, the Defence Forces will also provide a colour party of the flags of the Four Provinces as part of the build up to the senior final.
The Electric Ireland All-Ireland minor hurling final between Galway and Kilkenny will throw-in at 1pm. It will also be shown live by TG4.
At half-time in this game there will be the GAA Cumann na mBunscol INTO/Respect Exhibition Go Games. There will also be music provided by The Ryan Family from Pallasgreen in Limerick, who have enjoyed a string of success at Scór na nÓg and Scór Sinsear.
Following the presentation of the cup to the victorious minor team, there will be a special ceremony to honour the Hurling Team of the 90s - a selection of outstanding players from an iconic decade in the game's history. The 1-15 was announced by the GAA on Wednesday with presenter Damian Lawlor introducing the players to the crowd. In the event that the minor final goes to extra-time, this Team of the 90s ceremony will move to the half-time interval in the senior game.
The entrance onto the field of the senior teams will be preceded by a pageant of flags with children chosen by competition sponsors Littlewoods Ireland, Centra and Bord Gais Energy providing a guard of honour at the Hogan Stand tunnel.
Before the senior final both the Galway and Limerick teams will line up on the red carpet to meet Uachtarán na hÉireann Michael D Higgins and Uachtarán Chumann Luthchleas Gael John Horan.
Also present on the red carpet will be children wearing the club jerseys of each member of the starting teams in recognition of the role played by their clubs in producing these stars for inter-county level.
Musical entertainment at half time in the senior final will be provided by the band Brave Giant, all of whom have strong Longford GAA connections.
The match will see Croke Park full to its 82,000 capacity for the first time this year. Supporters are reminded to only source tickets through their clubs and county committees and to not facilitate or engage in the practice of reselling tickets for inflated prices above face value. All-Ireland tickets identified as having been offered for sums above face value will be cancelled by the GAA's Ticketing Department - in keeping with the practice of recent years.
Supporters are also reminded about the baggage restrictions in operation at Croke Park and advised not to arrive at the stadium with bags larger than A4 size and to co-operate with Gardai and stewards at all times - but particularly when it comes to exiting after the game.
The GAA Hurling All-Ireland senior final will throw in at 3.30 and will be broadcast live on RTE Radio 1 and screened live by RTÉ TV and SKY TV.
In the event of the sides being level at the end of 70 minutes the senior final will require a replay, which, if required, will take place on September 8 at Croke Park.

Friday Night at The Beach House Mistaken for High School Reunion
Posted by The Peedmont Staff
GLEN ALLEN, Va. — What was supposed to be a routine Friday night out with friends turned into complete chaos when a West End resident's trip to The Beach House Bar & Grille was accidentally mistaken for a high school reunion.
Report: Short Pump Market Strong Enough for Second Olive Garden Location

New Study Reveals Trader Joe's Is the Only Good Thing About Short Pump
Kellie Foster, who graduated from Douglas Freeman High School in 2007, said she began her night at The Beach House, a popular spot amongst the area's "bro" crowd, with her usual weekend gang. However, the night took an unexpected turn when she began to notice numerous classmates from her Freeman years at the bar.
"First I saw Holly Miller and Lauren Cameron, and I thought 'Oh hey, I haven't seen them in a few years,'" Foster stated. "And then I saw Holly's ex, Brian, who was with his friends Jeremiah and Tommy. They all went to Freeman and graduated in '07. At first I thought I had stumbled upon some kind of reunion that I hadn't gotten an invite to. It was pretty terrifying."
Foster then noticed Andrew Scott and Roger Stanley, two recognizable figures from the school's nerd clique. "That really threw me off. I figured they'd still be playing Magic or Dungeons & Dragons at this point. I didn't expect them to grow up to be the type of guys who hang out at a place like this."
Events continued to deteriorate when Foster spotted Jason Bernard, the captain of Freeman's 2006 varsity football team and a well-established jock douche. According to Foster, Bernard was loudly bragging to some former teammates who were also in attendance about his ability to double fist a pair of Bud Lights.
"God, I hate that prick, and he still acts like the douche-nozzle he was in high school. I guess some things never change," Foster remarked, watching the group down shots of cheap vodka.
Thankfully for Foster, it appears that none of her ex-boyfriends from her high school years were in attendance. Nonetheless, officials are classifying the evening as a catastrophic event.
"It happens all too often, these unexpected reunions," John Harding, a spokesperson for the Richmond Center of Lingering High School Drama, stated in a related interview. "At places like Bar Louie and The Beach House it's very common to run into former classmates that you absolutely hated in school and had secretly hoped would meet unfortunate fates in their 20s."
Harding says his team is working on installing signs on select West End bars to help warn patrons of the likelihood and the dangers of running into fellow high school alumni. Foster supports their efforts, recalling the experience as something that no Richmond millennial should have to endure.
"Fuck, this is so awkward," Foster commented, adding that she had never planned to attend one of her school's official reunions in the first place. "I specifically made a Facebook account so I could keep in touch with certain people and not have to go any of those damn reunions."

When is a tip-pooling arrangement illegal?
Many restaurants use a tip-pooling arrangement or scheme in which all the servers, waiters, waitresses, bartenders, bussers, hosts, hostesses, etc. put together or pool their tips and then divide them either equally or in some other proportion. These have to be done in a particular way or the tip-pool is illegal.
A tip-pooling arrangement is legal where the tip-pooling arrangment includes only employees that are customarily tipped, i.e., waitressess, waiters, bartenders, servers, bussers, etc. If the tip-pooling includes employees that are not customarily tipped such as cooks and dishwashers, the tip-pool is illegal.
What difference does it make if the tip pool is illegal? The difference is that, if an illegal tip pool arrangement is used, the employer cannot apply the "tip credit" to the employees in question. The "tip credit" allows an employer to actually an employee subject to the tip credit only $2.13 per hour the idea being that tips make up the difference between $2.13 and the minimum wage, which must be paid all employees. So a server, for instance, that has participated in an illegal tip pool should not have had the "tip credit" applied to him or her and has a claim for unpaid wages representing the difference between the amount of wages paid, which in Kentucky is probably $2.13 per hour, and the minimum wage, which in Kentucky is at present $7.25 per hour.
If you have questions regarding the tip credit and how it is applied to you, contact Lexington, Kentucky wages and overtime lawyer Robert Abell at 859-254-7076.

Q: GWT History question What is consider as a good design regarding back/forward project capabilities.
I mean - uses are able to navigate through the application only via back/forward browser buttons or to have also and back buttons in the application , is it a good practice to mix it (browser back and application back buttons) ? Or GWT History is good enough to be the only navigator in the application?
I will be glad to hear different opinions and approaches.
Thanks

A: My perspective is that GWT History is used to mimic the already-existing features of your application. So when you perform actions, they leave a trail that the user can trace back.

A: As per the web application secenerio,It is more preferable to navigate through the browser back and forward buttons.Why to reinvent the wheel?
As all browser supported by this facility.
I am also working on a large application supported by the gwt.History in the system is managed by the History token.You can have a look on it from here.
I am working from last two years with history management of gwt ans it is working fine.
You can have your navigation systems for the inner panel navigation requirement.But for the browser I suggest you to use its own facility.

A: *

*I wouldn't have a separate back/forward functionality in your app, since people are used to using browser's back/forward buttons. This would not add any function, just confuse people.

*GWT History wraps browsers' history functionality so it will perform exactly like browsers native history functionality.

A: Browser-based history all the way.

*

*If you only support internal history (and don't support browser-based history), when your users navigate back the browser will take them away from your application.

*If you support both internal and browser-based history your users probably will not be clear of the effect of pressing internal or browser-based back key.

I cannot think of an instance where a web-application supports internal and browser-based history navigation.
The closest I can think of is when breadcrumbs are provided, but these relate to only a few types of application.

A: GWT history management is a way to make different states of your application matches with the address URL and use listeners to be notified of URL changes.
This is a technical thing that allow standard back/forward to work in a meaningfull way.
Now we speak about a design, does a "back"/"forward" button really usefull inside your application?
Well this depend of what your application do. if it is some sort of wizard with a set of steps, then yes you'll have back/forward buttons in your application.
If this a more conventionnal UI, no you will not have/back forward. You will have link/button sending the user to new views, and some sort of main navigation allowing to go to any view/screen the user want to. Only support for back/forward would be using the browser only.

Comfort Zone is the place I've made when I need a break from our current political environment. Realizing the need to cultivate a world of temporary escapes and moments of joy, I look at what I enjoy, eating out, cooking at home, cutting flowers and visiting nurseries. Two common themes quickly rise to the top—food and flowers. Both take me to a place where I am lost in thought as I assemble a menu for my happiness with colors, shapes, smells, textures and arrangements. It feeds my body and nourishes my soul. Using the same ingredients, I try to recreate those feelings of contentment when I put ink to paper.
The monoprints in Comfort Zone start with a foundation of colorful ink washes on plexiglass. A multi-plate drypoint etching method follows. Each of these one-of-a-kind prints has been through the press multiple times, each layer of color building up a richness and luminosity difficult to achieve in other media.
