Mavrah stepped into the vast cavern, feeling a mixture of satisfaction and sadness. Given the choice, he would have preferred to simply scare those intruders away rather than harm them. But he knew enough about Toa to know they never gave up, not even in the face of overwhelming force. Certainly, Toa Lhikan had never flinched before any threat. Strange that he hadn't been among these strangers?
Still, it was good to know his inventive genius had not deserted him after all these years. The whirlpool had worked perfectly. Of course, he hadn't waited to see the intruders' boat wrecked by it. There would have been no joy in that.
For a moment, Mavrah was lost in his memories. He could remember long days spent in the Archives, talking with Nuparu about their newest ideas for inventions. Nuparu was determined to one day perfect a new mode of transport to replace chutes, if only to knock the Le-Matoran down a few pegs.
For his part, Mavrah had simply wanted to better understand the Rahi. It frustrated him that so many of the creatures had to be kept in stasis in the Archives, where little could be learned of them. How could a researcher study the behavior patterns of creatures who were always asleep? Sometimes he had fantasized about smashing open the stasis tubes just to see one of those magnficent Rahi move again.
Mavrah jumped as a great serpentlike creature snaked down from a stalactite and brushed against him. The Rahi was on its way to the water, a trip that would take some time given that the beast was over 40 feet long from head to tail. "Mustn't scare me like that," Mavrah said gently. "I might have thought it was another Toa, come to bring us all back."
The Onu-Matoran turned as two mechanized beasts entered from side passages. They took no notice of him, but instead took positions on either side of the serpent. They would make sure it got to the pool without incident and without being observed by any intruders. Where one group of Toa had come, more might follow.
Mavrah walked across the cave and stood at the edge of the vast pool. Beneath its calm surface lived countless creatures, remnants of an age long before Metru Nui. Powerful, unpredictable, dangerous beyond measure, they were still Mavrah's only friends in this desolate place. And no one – no one – would take them away from him.
One of those "friends" was busy at the moment trying to crack open the Lhikan. The octopoid Rahi had found the Vahki transport a tougher target than it expected, but it was only a matter of seconds before the hull gave way.
Suddenly, the transport began to glow red. An intense shock of searing heat forced the Rahi to let go, allowing the craft to bob back up to the surface.
Slowly, the glow faded. A few moments later, the hatch opened and the Toa Metru emerged on the deck. Vakama stumbled and almost fell before Nokama caught him. "Take it easy," she said.
"That was the hardest stunt I have ever had to pull," said Vakama. "So much heat without flame… but it worked."
"I wonder what it was that strong-pulled us down?" asked Matau. "And where is it now?"
A massive tentacle erupted out of the water, wrapping itself around Matau and hauling him off the transport. "When will I quick-learn to stop asking stupid questions?" shouted the Toa of Air, just before he disappeared beneath the waves.
As one, the Toa Metru dove in after him. A swipe of a tentacle sent Nuju flying through the water. A second tentacle grabbed Vakama. Nokama turned to rescue the Toa of Fire, but he waved her off.
In a moment, she saw why – or rather, she didn't see. Triggering the power of the Mask of Concealment, Vakama faded from view. The Rahi was puzzled. It could feel something in its grip, but not see anything. Its grip slackened just enough for Vakama to slip through, reappearing beside Onewa.
Matau was in bad shape. He hadn't been able to grab a breath of air before being pulled under and was rapidly drowning. Worse, the Rahi had started to swim away with its prey. Onewa glanced at Whenua, who nodded. Then both unleashed their elemental power, forming hands of earth and stone that reached up from the bottom to grab the creature.
Nuju rocketed forward, using both his elemental and mask energies. Bolts of ice and stone hurled telekinetically battered the beast. Stunned, it let go of Matau. Nokama caught him and rushed him to the surface.
Onewa and Whenua released the struggling Rahi and the creature swam away. Vakama gestured urgently for the Toa to head back to the transport.
They were still climbing aboard when the Toa of Fire shouted, "Matau! We need to go now!"
Nokama and Matau looked at him, surprised. But the Toa of Air could tell this was no time to argue. He leapt into the cockpit and started the craft moving forward.
"We are going after the beast," Nuju said to Vakama. It wasn't a question.
"Yes, we are," the Toa of Fire replied. "It's time we became the hunters."
From a hiding place nearby, six pairs of audio receptors recorded Vakama's words. Six pairs of optical sensors studied the Toa Metru, their strengths, their weaknesses, and their current condition. Complex clockwork mechanisms began to analyze, evaluate, and plan the ideal time to strike.
One of the six beings turned away and began the trek back home. In any conflict, defeat was an option. Logic dictated that the information gathered should therefore be relayed to others for future use if necessary. This unit would return to Mavrah to do just that while the others pursued and apprehended the intruders.
Had these beings possessed muscles, they would have felt them tense in anticipation of the conflict to come. If blood coursed through their veins, it would have flowed that much faster at the thought of battle after so many years of inactivity. But instead, they could only stare at the Toa with cold calculation. There would be no anger or hatred in their attack – just pure, precise, efficient destruction.
Nuju stood at the bow of the ship. The telescopic lens built into his Mask of Power was focused on the wake of the octopoid beast. Nokama stood beside him, prepared to continue the pursuit underwater if the creature chose to dive.
Near the cockpit, Vakama and Onewa strategized. Despite their disagreements, the two Toa had developed a grudging respect for each other. If Vakama still had his moments of doubt, and Onewa still thought with his mouth too often, they remained the best tacticians among the Toa. Whenua had been invited to join their council, but had refused, preferring to keep to himself.
All of the Toa turned at Nuju's cry. The river had opened up into a vast waterway, even wider than the Po-Metru Sculpture Fields. The Rahi they were chasing had vanished into its depths, but no one even noticed. Their eyes were on the dozens of monsters breaching the surface and bellowing their anger at the Lhikan.
Nokama had lived by the silver sea all her life. Between her explorations underwater and her visits to the Archives she had seen every kind of aquatic creature in existence, or so she believed. But never had she seen anything like this in the flesh. Before her startled eyes, serpents almost as long as the Coliseum was high reared up out of the water. Bizarre creatures looking like oversized sea slugs slithered along the rocky coastline. Massive fish leapt high into the air, lightning bolts lancing from their razor-sharp fins.
The sight of so many previously unknown Rahi was beautiful, in a way, but it was a savage beauty. To the right, a reptilian creature rose out of the water with a Tarakava squirming in its huge jaws. On the left, a Rahi much like the one the Lhikan had been chasing struggled helplessly in the grasp of two gigantic crablike creatures.
"This is… amazing," Nokama said softly.
"This is insane," replied Nuju.
"You're both wrong," said Whenua. "This… this is a disaster."
"Maybe we should quiet-sneak away, before they decide we are fish food," offered Matau.
Vakama shook his head. "No. We have nothing to turn back to – only a dark and dead city, filled with sleeping Matoran who are counting on us to find them a haven. If that means crossing these waters, then that is what we will do."
"I hate to say it, fire-spitter, but you're making a lot of sense," said Onewa.
"Why do you hate to say it?"
"Ruins my image," said the Toa of Stone.
Mavrah watched the mechanized Kralhi's approach. He knew it wouldn't have returned alone unless it had news, most likely bad news.
As a Matoran, it was hard for him to see the machine creature without a trace of fear. Long before the Vahki enforcers were put into operation in Metru Nui, the responsibility for law enforcement fell on the shoulders of the Kralhi. They were well-equipped for the task. Their stingerlike tails were capable of projecting a force bubble around a target. Once inside, the target was rapidly drained of energy, all of which was fed back into the Kralhi. This left whoever the Kralhi had captured far too weak to cause any trouble.
That, as it turned out, was the problem. The point had been to get Matoran troublemakers or those who walked off the job back to work as soon as possible. The Kralhi left them so weak and dizzy that they couldn't work for days. It was finally decided that they had to be shut down and replaced.
Saying that and doing it proved to be two very different things. To this day, no one was sure how much self-awareness the Kralhi might possess, but they certainly resisted being turned off and scrapped. The Matoran were successful with a few of them, but most fought back hard. With the help of the newly built Vahki, the Matoran achieved a victory of sorts by driving the Kralhi out of the city. No one knew, or cared, where they had disappeared to as long as they were gone.
Mavrah had been terrified the day he stumbled upon them, sure they would attack and force him back to the city. But the Kralhi had made no threatening moves. Over time, Mavrah realized that their primary purpose – to serve and protect Matoran – was still in force. As long as he did not make any effort to harm them or turn them off, they were perfectly willing to accept and serve him.
Now the Kralhi paused in front of him. When it spoke, it was with the recorded voice of one of the Toa: "It's time we became the hunters." Then the machine waited for a response.
Mavrah hesitated. He had tried to destroy these Toa and had been sure he succeeded. If they still lived, then it must be Mata Nui's will that they do so. Mavrah wondered if it was a sign. Perhaps if he explained to the Toa why he was here, and why he had to stay, they would understand. Then they could return to Metru Nui and inform Turaga Dume to call off the search.
"Return," Mavrah ordered the Kralhi. "Capture the six Toa and bring them back here alive."
The Kralhi simply stared, as if it had not understood anything that was said. Mavrah knew the creature was just being willful and stubborn.
"Alive," he repeated, firmly. "Unharmed. That is a direct command. Now go."
The Kralhi turned and departed. Mavrah thought he detected something in the way it moved, but he dismissed the idea. A Kralhi is just a machine, he reminded himself. It can't feel disappointment, can it?
Unfortunately, not everything shared Mavrah's newfound desire for the Toa's safety. The Lhikan had made it about halfway across the lake before attracting the attention of the local wildlife. Now the beasts were shoving each other aside in a race to see who would get to devour the craft and occupants first.
The Toa had acquired one ally, a massive, tentacled whale that was now running interference for them. Onewa's Mask of Mind Control had worked on Rahi before, and this one had just enough of a mind to give him something to manipulate. Unfortunately, it meant the Toa of Stone could do nothing else to help to defend the vessel, but the others did their best to pick up the slack.
A horned serpent wrapped itself around the hull of the boat. Its head swung up over the side of the deck, hissing at Nuju and baring its vicious fangs. The Toa of Ice muttered, "No, I don't think so," and sent twin frigid blasts from his crystal spikes. Frozen solid, the serpent sank to the bottom like a stone.
On the other side of the vessel, entire schools of fish were launching themselves out of the water at the Lhikan. Matau had been using his elemental wind power to blow them away, until an inspiration struck him. Using the power of his Mask of Illusion, he transformed himself into a huge sharklike beast with three sets of jaws. Frightened, the schools dove back underwater, with the exception of one fish who landed on the deck.
Matau glanced down at it. He had never been fond of marine life, and this was a particularly ugly specimen. Has the same happy-smile as Makuta, he thought. Just what the world needs – a Makuta fish.
Vakama was everywhere at once. Sea creatures, no matter how large, hated fire, and he had been able to drive away some of the more monstrous specimens. Those he could not stop were being battered by waves or grabbed by the sea bottom thanks to the powers of Nokama and Whenua. It seemed like the Toa might make it through, although Vakama wondered how they would ever be able to make a second trip this way with all the sleeping Matoran in tow.
A huge wave swamped the vessel, almost washing Vakama into the lake. When it subsided, all of the Toa could feel that something was wrong. The craft was still afloat, but now listing badly to one side.
"One of the spheres," Nokama said. "They must have taken one of the spheres! I have to go down there and –"
"No!" Nuju grabbed her and kept her from diving. "I let you go once, not this time. You would not last more than a few seconds among these creatures, and you know it. If one of the spheres has been lost, we will recover it…"
"When?" Nokama demanded. "Before or after some sea monster has dined on it?"
"I know how you feel," said Whenua, as he caused chunks of the sea floor to pelt an oncoming Rahi. "Believe me. But we are almost to the other side of the lake. Once back in the tunnel, the creatures can only come at us one at a time. One Toa can hold them off while the rest of us –"
"That will be too late!" said Nokama, wrenching free of Nuju's grasp. She raced to the edge of the deck.
Vakama saw her and moved just as quickly himself. He threw up a wall of flame around the transport, cutting off the Rahi from approaching and Nokama from leaving. She turned on him, enraged.
"Vakama, why –?"
"We may have lost a friend," said the Toa of Fire. "I won't stand by while we lose another."
Before Nokama could answer, she was suddenly lifted off her feet and into the air. Vakama looked at Nuju, thinking it was the Mask of Telekinesis at work, but the Toa of Ice was as surprised as anyone. That was when Matau noticed the energy bubble around Nokama. He struggled to see through the flames, finally spotting what he feared to find but knew had to be there.
"Kralhi!" he shouted. "They have Nokama!"
"Whenua, you and Onewa keep the Rahi at bay," ordered Vakama. "Nuju, Matau and I will save Nokama!"
But Matau was already gone, encased in a Kralhi bubble and being spirited away. Nuju created an ice barrier to try and impede the bubble's progress, but a boulder hurled by the Kralhi weakened it badly. When Matau's prison struck it, the wall crumbled into the water.
Now the Kralhi attacked in earnest, keeping the Toa off balance with a barrage of stones and energy bubbles. Onewa was the next to be captured, causing the Rahi he had mastered to dive beneath the water and disappear.
The Toa fought valiantly, but attacked on two fronts and worn down with fatigue, they could not hold their own. Nuju had a perfectly aimed ice blast ready for a Kralhi when one of the Rahi rammed the transport, knocking him off his feet. The next instant, he was inside a Kralhi bubble and could feel his energy being drained away.
Vakama and Whenua held out for a little longer, but eventually they too fell to the Kralhi. Vakama screamed with anger and frustration as he saw the now abandoned transport drifting toward the tunnel, still carrying its precious cargo. Then the hunger of the Kralhi for energy took its toll. Vakama's mind fell into a pool of darkness as unconsciousness claimed them all.

As a school counselor, you have the chance to absorb all of the information aimed at your students. You read it thoroughly, make decisions based on new information, and then pass it on to your students.
Patrick J. O'Connor's latest book, "College Counseling for School Counselors," is written just for you. O'Connor dives into the world of school counseling as it relates to college prep and delivers a comprehensive, easy-to-follow text as the baseline for building a successful college counseling program at your school.
No matter what the scenario is for your students (athletes, special needs, exceptional talents), O'Connor maps out a plan for activities for any kind of student. The inclusion of a three-year calendar is helpful in getting a school counselor from start to finish on a realistic timeline.
The homework in the book isn't just deliverable to your students, but also to yourself as a school counselor. O'Connor invites readers to list five goals that can be actionable for the school's college counseling program. He encourages school counselors to develop real curriculum for college counseling, citing the elements of a strong plan.
The highlights of this book include access to resources along the way and goal-setting initiatives. Some of the topics covered are: College planning early on, testing, curriculum and support, student diversity, recommendation letters, essays, paying for college, and how to make it all happen at your school.
O'Connor is on the political science faculty of Oakland Community College and is associate dean of college counseling at Cranbrook Schools, both in Metropolitan Detroit.

What is Business Etiquette ?
Every profession requires a certain set of manners and it is these very manners that are known as business etiquette. Business etiquette is generally enforced by members of an organization and it is custom that upholds business etiquette.
Further business etiquette is about building valuable and respectable business relationships with others. It is about creating an environment wherein all members of an organisation feel secure, comfortable and relaxed.
In an office or business environment you must stand up when you are being introduced to someone. Standing up during introduction will create a positive impact on the opposite person. Your presence is better established when you stand up during an introduction.
In the event that you are unable to stand up because you have been caught completely off guard, make an attempt to at least lean forward during the introduction or while shaking hands with the person.
In any situation, be it business or social, saying thank you is the polite thing to do. However if you are going to repeatedly say the word in a single conversation it will lose its value and impact and may even make you sound needy and desperate and even helpless.So ensure that you don't use the word more than once or twice in a single conversation.
Crossing your legs in a business environment or during a meeting is highly inappropriate. Though both men and women tend to do it, it must be at all costs avoided.
If at all you find the need to cross your legs, make sure you cross them at the ankles and not knees. That way when you need to suddenly shift you can do it subtly without making it obvious.
If you can avoid pointing all together that would be ideal. However if a situation arises where you can't avoid it, make sure you point with an open palm and not with your index finger.
This rule is applicable to both genders. Pointing with a single finger or particularly your index finger indicates aggression. So when pointing keep all your fingers together and point with an open palm.
Your opinion may matter and you may have a very valid point to put forward in a group discussion at your office place, however wait until you get a chance to speak. Don't cut other people off or interrupt them while they speak.
You may encounter a situation where you're extremely annoyed with a colleague or subordinate. Irrespective of how heated the situation maybe, ensure that you keep your cool and watch your language.
Never use abusive language or obscene words in the office. Even written communication should be polite and respectful. Ensure you don't use derogatory or rude language, it is absolutely unacceptable.
Make sure you knock before you enter a colleagues or seniors cabin. Don't ever walk in unannounced. You have absolutely no right to interrupt someone's work and it is essential for you to respect their space and privacy. So if you find that their cabin door is pulled shut, knock and announce your presence before walking in.
Though it may be extremely tempting to indulge in office gossip, stay away from it. Gossiping about colleagues not only damages their image in the organisation but it also speaks volumes about the kind of person you are. Don't let curiosity carry you away and avoid listening to other people gossip too.
No matter how busy you are or how senior your post in an organisation may be, ensure that you show up on time for meetings and conferences. If you think being late is fashionable and gives people a reason to believe that you are extremely busy, you are wrong. Showing up late only shows how inconsiderate you are and how you disrespect other people's time.
It is NOT ok to take calls, reply to text messages and scan through emails during meetings. It is extremely irritating and highly disrespectful to other people attending the meeting. Also make sure you keep your phone on silent while attending a meeting so that it doesn't disturb the other attendees and the speaker.
In a social setting it is acceptable for a man to pull out a chair for a lady. However in a professional atmosphere this is highly unacceptable and rude. Men and women are considered equals at the work place and both can pull out their own chairs.
It is absolutely rude and unacceptable for you to leave a corporate function or party before your senior departs. Ensure you stay back at the event until your senior excuses himself and leaves.
Food should be eaten only in the office etiquette dining place and not in your cabin or cubicle. If for some reason you are absolutely unable to make it to the lunch room, then make sure the food you eat in your cubicle doesn't have a foul and unbearable odour. Also ensure you clean up after your meal.
Make sure that you dress in a professional and acceptable manner. Avoid wearing clothes that are revealing or inappropriate. If your office has a dress code then make sure you stick by the code.
As far as possible avoid attending personal calls in the office. If it is absolutely necessary for you to take a personal call then keep it as short as possible.
When interacting with clients and customers who live in foreign countries, keep the time zone of that country in mind before calling your customer. You don't want to end up calling a client at the crack of dawn or at an unearthly hour.
Making work related calls to colleagues on holidays and weekends is extremely rude and intrusive. Your invading their personal and family time by doing so. As much as possible avoid making calls to colleagues on the weekend, but if absolutely necessary then keep the call as short as possible.
Sending professional emails that contain grammatical errors or slang language is absolutely unacceptable. Make sure that the emails you send out are grammatically correct and free of spelling errors.
These are the basic and general business etiquettes that are applicable in most organizations across the globe. However do keep in mind there may be certain parts of the world where additional rules are applicable that may not be a part of this generalized list. For instance in Japan it is mandatory for all employees to take off their footwear before entering the work place.
If you hold a senior post in the organization, ensure that strict disciplinary action is taken against those employees who break the rules of business etiquette. A circular or notice can be sent out to all the employees in a company to inform them about what is acceptable and unacceptable in the organization.
There are a wide range of books available on the subject of business etiquette. If you are looking to read further on the matter here is a list of books you should consider getting.
Some of these books are international best sellers. They can be referred to to brush up your business etiquette skills. Besides this there are also several PDF files on business etiquette as well as e-books that you can download. They give you all the information you can possibly require on the subject.
There are numerous professional institutes that also provide thorough business etiquette training. These institutes conduct workshops, classes and courses that train the attendees for business etiquette.
There are also an extensive range of seminars conducted by authors who have written business etiquette books. Often the organization itself conducts an internal business etiquette seminar to brief the employees on what behavior is acceptable and what behavior is intolerable in the office. In such seminars there are several business etiquette games and activities that are played and conducted.
If you are looking to set up your own company, make sure that you stick to these business etiquette rules. When juniors and employees see their bosses behave in a certain manner, they are most likely to adopt the same practices.
Clients and customers also find it easier to trust and work with companies that follow comply by the rules of business etiquette. If you find that in your organization some of the employees are behaving out of line, conduct a business etiquette seminar within the office.You can also consider calling a business etiquette expert to etiquette guide your employees during the seminar.
Business etiquette is not only applicable in the organization but also when you are sitting for an interview. A large number of organizations across the globe pay close attention to the business etiquette of prospective employees and interviewees before hiring them on the team.
If you wish to make a strong, positive and impactful impression on an interviewer make sure you brush up on your business etiquette knowledge and apply the same rules on the day of your interview.People who are well mannered and follow the rules of business etiquette are more likely to get the job they are interviewing for.
If you wish to be a successful business person and run a successful company make sure that you stick to the rule of business etiquette. Follow them and encourage colleagues and subordinates to do the same.
Make sure you evaluate the business etiquette that prospective employees exhibit before you hire them because hiring someone who lacks business etiquette can be extremely detrimental to the reputation and goodwill of your organization.
Don't be afraid to correct employees in your organization who misbehave in anyway or break the rules of business etiquette. Business etiquette in an organization is as important as marketing or advertising.

In 2020, we completed our state-of-the-art headquarters in Freigericht (Frankfurt/Rhein-Main).
Here's why we built our HQ where we built it, how we designed it for the future of work – and why you should be excited about working there.
Why Freigericht?
As an innovative tech business, you might expect us to be HQ'd in an urban hotspot. But our decision to build our base in our home region was guided as much by our vision of the company's future as by the area's connection to our history.
When we chose Freigericht as our HQ, we had the future of work in mind. We knew we had to serve the differing needs of the talented people we want working here – wherever they want to work.
CID has offices across Europe and North America, but we also needed an option for those who prefer living in a rural environment, want to save time and money on commuting, and aim to live more sustainably.
It made perfect sense for us to build our rural office where we founded the company: Freigericht.
Today, over 250 employees work there.
Based in the Rhine-Main Area, the region is just 30 mins out of Frankfurt, with smooth connections between Germany's metro areas, Europe and the rest of the world.
The future of work is hybrid
People have been predicting the demise of the office for a long time. But we beg to differ. We believe that today the office is more important than ever.
Despite the rise of remote working, most people still want to be part of a working community which they can personally interact with and share experiences.
The office still matters because it provides a common base for interacting and exchanging ideas. It can function as an engine for innovation – so long as it's designed to promote communication and collaboration.
A factory for smart thinking
The brickwork red exterior of our HQ was designed to evoke a 19th century factory. But this is very much a factory of its time – and it mainly produces ideas. That's why we named it SMART FACTORY!
And there's certainly nothing 19th (or even 20th) century about this factory's design. Inside, the office is divided into distinct sections. There's retreat zones for solitary concentration and communication zones where colleagues can exchange ideas, information and inspiration.
Our HQ provides a location for those who prefer a rural environment, a shorter commute and more sociable work experience."
Alexander Lörch, Co-CEO and Founder
And a home away from home
Happy people are more creative and collaborative – and make better decisions. An office should be a pleasant, comfortable and welcoming place to be, with areas for relaxation as well as work.
That's why our HQ includes a staff canteen, our own café (where colleagues can see each other, socialise and swap ideas over coffee and cake), large fitness rooms for all employees and much, much more.
SMART FACTORY! truly is a home for our colleagues, customers and company.

Risperdal Civil Penalty Reduced by $12 Million Despite Lies to FDA
Posted on August 21, 2015 by Larry Bodine
Janssen did not disclose the results of the studies that gave negative results, and only disclosed those with favorable results.
South Carolina's Supreme Court reduced a $136 million civil penalty against Johnson & Johnson and Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Janssen) by $12 million for its deceptive labeling and marketing of the atypical antipsychotic drug Risperdal.
The Attorney General of South Carolina filed a lawsuit against Janssen in April 2007, seeking civil penalties for its medication labeling and "Dear doctor" letters deceptively omitting and minimizing the risk associated with Risperdal use in violation of the South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act (SCUTPA).
Clinical trials showed harmful side effects
Janssen promoted Risperdal as having less risk than other similar atypical antipsychotic medications, even though studies it conducted revealed that Risperdal posed a serious risk of weight gain, increased prolactin levels causing hyperprolactinemia (enlarged breasts in men), long-term risk of developing cancer, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease and stroke.

The studies also found an increased risk of life-threatening diabetes mellitus. A clinical trial commissioned by Janssen further found that Risperdal was not any safer that competing medication Zyprexa, in terms of side effects. Another study determined that Risperdal patients developed diabetes mellitus at significantly higher rates than patients on Zyprexa.
When asked by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to submit a review of all clinical data related to the side effects of Risperdal, Janssen did not disclose the results of the studies that gave negative results, and only disclosed those with favorable results. It also further indicated to the FDA that no long-term clinical trials had ever taken place. Regardless, the FDA required that all atypical antipsychotic medications, including Risperdal, include a warning label about hyperglycemia and diabetes.
"Dear doctor" letters contained false information
In response to the label requirement, according to an email sent by a Janssen Director, Janssen "work[ed] hard on a strategy to avoid Risperdal being thought of as a diabetes-inducing medication. Instead, when worried about diabetes, we want doctors to prescribe Risperdal." Janssen did so by using Dear Doctor Letters (DDL) to "soften the blow" of the new warning label requirement.
The letters disseminated to prescribing doctors contained false information, stating that evidence suggested that Risperdal was not associated with an increased risk of diabetes and associated with a lower risk of diabetes than other studied atypical antipsychotics. Janssen's field sales teams also further communicated to physicians that Risperdal had a "0%" increased diabetes risk compared to placebo, according to court documents.
Penalties reduced
In the original lawsuit filed in 2007 by the South Carolina Attorney General, the trial court issued an order assessing $300 per box penalties for the labeling and $4000 for each Dear Doctor Letter, totaling a claim against Janssen for $327,073,700.
Janssen filed an appeal on numerous issues, which the court found to be "without merit or unpreserved." The court only revisited the issue of the statute of limitations on the labeling violations and limited those violations to a three-year period from January 2004 to the filing of the lawsuit in 2007, reducing the penalty to $136 million. The court then further reduced the labeling claim penalties from $300 per box to $100 per box, resulting in an additional $12 million reduction in penalties, resulting in a final civil penalty against Janssen for $124,324,700.
The case is State of South Carolina v. Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc., case number 2012-206987, in the South Carolina Supreme Court.

Pine Grove School
SC Picture Project / Saluda County / Pine Grove School
We know very little about Pine Grove School thus far. It is documented in the Department of Archives and History as part of a program by the Sinking Fund Commission to photograph schools across South Carolina for insurance purposes.
Jennifer Kouyoumjian of Travelers Rest, 2018 © Do Not Use Without Written Consent
However, the SCDAH includes no background information. We also know that in 2001, it was used as a meeting place by the Sons of the Confederate Veterans Camp #48.
Contributor Joshua Nicholson wrote us the following comment, providing the most helpful information we have seen on this property thus far: "My great grandmother Minnie Lee Rodgers attended this school as did many older people in the community. There are several pictures of family at the school in the early 1930s. From what I remember her saying, this school was opened in the earlier 1900s after the nearby Spagner School was closed. The land was donated by a cousin of hers by the last name Trotter. I don't know if documents exist to verify it but many of the people in that community were of mixed Native American (Rodgers, Bartley, Trotters, etc.) descent. My great grandmother said her cousin gave the land for them to have a school since they weren't allowed to go to Emory, Butler, or any of the other nearby schools."
If you can help with any further information, please add it below. Thank you!

Encana Staff Saddles up to Support Calgary Food Bank in Race Against Hunger
July 13, 2011 14:00 ET | Source: Calgary Food Bank
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - July 13, 2011) - For a second year, there was a unique Stampede spirit spreading among employees at Encana Corporation today as they gathered together at the company's Stampede barbeque to support the Calgary Food Bank by offering donations of non-perishable food or cash in support of Encana's Race Against Hunger campaign.
Encana wasn't leaving it all up to its staff though, as the company also presented a cheque to the Calgary Food Bank for $50,000.
The Race Against Hunger was launched last year to raise food, cash and awareness for local food banks during the summer months, often when need can outpace donations. The program, which has had successful food drives in some areas of Alberta and B.C. where Encana operates, was expanded this year to include a presence at the Calgary Co-op Kitchen Theatre during the Calgary Stampede. Vying for bragging rights and the title of Food Driver of the Year, World Professional Chuckwagon Association (WPCA) drivers also got in on the program action. Encana will crown the driver who raises the most donations later this summer.
"We have a remarkable and generous Stampede spirit among our staff at Encana. Last year we had more than 1,100 staff attend the Race Against Hunger barbecue and we gathered more than two tonnes of food and over $5,000 in cash donations," says Mike Forgo, Vice-President of Business Services and Stakeholder Relations at Encana. "We hope this year we can leave those numbers in the dust and have an even stronger impact for the Food Bank."
As a champion of the Calgary Food Bank for many years, Encana has contributed more than $400,000, mainly through employee volunteer efforts as well as matching employee donations through the company's Encana Cares program.
"The Race Against Hunger campaign is part of how we give back to the communities where we live and work," says Patricia Etris, Lead of Community Involvement at Encana. "With the Calgary Food Bank's ability to convert every dollar donated into four dollars worth of food, Encana's $50,000 donation alone will mean $200,000 worth of food. That will go a long way to help people in need."
The Calgary Food Bank gathers and distributes quality emergency food to individuals and other service providers. Last year more than 140,000 Calgarians received emergency food; 41% were children. Please join the Race Against Hunger and remember your local food bank this summer.

Q: Getting a "this.is is not a function" error I'm creating a "Sign Up" form for my new website, but got a problem with a jQuery/JS function that is supposed to check for some conditions to be reached.
$(function checkform() {
if (this.is("#username")) {
var validchars = /^[a-zA-Z0-9\s]+$/;
var nameHasError;
if (this.val().length < 6 && this.val().length > 26) {
  nameHasError = true;
  this.parent("div").addClass("has-error");
} else if (!(validchars.test(this).val())) {
  nameHasError = true;
  this.parent("div").addClass("has-error");
} else {
  nameHasError = false;
  this.parent("div").removeClass("has-error");
};
} else if (this.is("#password")) {
var passHasError;
if (this.val().length < 5 && this.val().length > 45) {
  passHasError = true;
  this.parent("div").addClass("has-error");
} else {
  passHasError = false;
  this.parent("div").removeClass("has-error");
};
};
});

Here's the JSFiddle with HTML part (I'm using bootstrap on my website but preferred to set a specific class on the fiddle)
Best regards

A: You are mixing vanilla javascript with jquery syntax. this.is('#username') is not javascript.
Use this.id == "username" (vanilla js)  instead
OR
$(this).is('#username') (jquery)
Take care with the scope in your functions

A: There are multiple issues in the code

*

*You have defined the checkForm in $(), so the function will be available only inside the dom ready handler, so your onkeypress will throw an error

*When dom ready handler invokes the function this will be the document object which does not have the is function

*The character size validation should use || not &&
So, ti will be better to use a jQuery event handler with both the fields having their own validation function like

jQuery(function($) {
  $('#username').on('keypress', function() {
    var validchars = /^[a-zA-Z0-9\s]+$/;
    var nameHasError = false;
    var $this = $(this),
      value = this.value;
    if (value.length < 6 || value.length > 26) {
      nameHasError = true;
    } else if (!validchars.test(value)) {
      nameHasError = true;
    };
    $this.parent("div").toggleClass("has-error", nameHasError);
  });
  $('#password').on('keypress', function() {
    var passHasError = false;
    var $this = $(this),
      value = this.value;
    if (value.length < 5 || value.length > 45) {
      passHasError = true;
    };
    $this.parent("div").toggleClass("has-error", passHasError);
  });
});

    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="username" placeholder="Between 6 and 26 characters">

    Password

A:

function checkform() {
  if ($(this).is("#username")) {
    var validchars = /^[a-zA-Z0-9\s]+$/;
    var nameHasError;
    if ($(this).val().length < 6 || $(this).val().length > 26) {
      nameHasError = true;
      $(this).parent("div").addClass("has-error");
    } else if (!(validchars.test($(this).val()))) {
      nameHasError = true;

    } else {
      nameHasError = false;
      $(this).parent("div").removeClass("has-error");
    };
  } else if ($(this).is("#password")) {
    var passHasError;

E.ON pulls out of Orkney Pelamis marine energy project
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-23146280
Image caption Pelamis has been developing wave devices
The German power giant E.ON is pulling out of a marine energy research project in Orkney.
E.ON had been working with Pelamis Wave Energy, based in Edinburgh, to test one of the company's wave energy converters at the European Marine Energy Centre.
E.ON has blamed the decision on delays in the development of wave energy technology.
It said it will now focus its efforts on wind, biomass and solar energy instead.
A spokeswoman told BBC Scotland the company still believed marine energy could provide commercial opportunities in the future.
She said: "Delays in wave technology progress and a focus in E.ON on other more mature renewable technologies have been part of the decision to reduce our level of effort in the marine area.
"Having successfully built up a leading position in the marine energy area, we will continue to monitor technologies and work towards being prepared when marine energy is more mature and we are in the right position to move forward."
'Solid platform'
Pelamis Wave Power said the decision by E.ON would not affect its plans to begin generating electricity on a commercial scale.
The company will continue to work with Scottish Power Renewables on the development of its P2 wave energy device at the European Marine Energy Centre, known as EMEC, in Orkney.
The company said: "E.ON's decision at this stage does not in any way change our development trajectory.
"We will be continuing operation of the first P2 machine at EMEC over the coming months, alongside the Scottish Power Renewables-owned P2 unit.
"Together these have now delivered over 8,000 hours of grid connected operation in a broad range of conditions, including some 160 MWh of electricity generation.
"This experience in conjunction with the major development programme we are undertaking with the Energy Technologies Institute gives us a unique and solid platform from which to deliver the first commercial Pelamis machines over the next couple of years."
'Milestone' for wave energy plans

Total Lipids and Fatty Acids of Strains of Metarhizium Anisopliae
Antonio M. Pupin

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology
Two growth stages, conidia (C) and mycelium (M), and two media, minimal medium (MM) and complete medium (MC), were compared in 10 strains of M. anisopliae, and two strains of M. anisopliae var. majus were similar in percentages of total lipids. Tukey test for average of lipid content in conidia (C) and mycelia (M) cultured on minimal (MM) and complete (MC) media showed significant differences between means at the 5% level for mycelia and conidia, indicating variability in total lipid production and storage during growth. Strains 5 and 7, both variety majus, did not present sizable differences from variety anisopliae. For fatty acids, C18:1 and C18:2, oleic and linoleic, respectively, the differences were all highly significant (p= 1%) with the highest means being obtained for conidia for fatty acid C18:1 and for myclelia for fatty acid C18:2.

Cuba is a little hidden gem by the west village that I had never heard of till my bf brought me here on a date. Upon walking in, the first thing I observed was the energetic decor. It was throughout the holidays, and so they had their wall work lined in wrapping paper which made it appear like presents hanging on the wall.
As you'd expect from a Caribbean island, the weather in Cuba is good nearly all 12 months round. Daytime temperatures hardly ever dip beneath the early twenties and infrequently peak at nicely over 30 degrees Celsius. The rainy season is from May to October, however this doesn't cease thouands of holidaymakers flocking to the tropics during the summer months. In winter, the weather in Cuba is sizzling and dry, making it a perfect spot to head for a heavy dose of winter solar.

CRDN RAREsummit19
Published by Ring20
Visit the original source
It's been and exhausting but exhilarating week, the highlight being attending RAREsummit19 at the Wellcome Genome Campus organised by the Cambridge Rare Disease Network on Monday 23rd Sept 19.
From showcasing our latest poster on our Ring20 stand, to presenting to a packed auditorium of 250 people, to the numerous leads to follow-up in terms of future collaboration – and to top it all I made the BBC News that evening! (check out the video: BBC News video clip).
It was an early start, driving up to Cambridge from Essex to arrive for 8am to put up our new poster and arrange the stand.
The theme we chose for our our poster was 'Solving the puzzle' of diagnosis. r(20) syndrome is perceived as under-diagnosed and likely misdiagnosed. A big part of the problem is the lack of awareness among pediatricians and neurologists of the signs and symptoms of r(20) which are very similar to other rare epilepsies such as Lennox Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) because of the slow spike wave EEG pattern and prolonged non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). Standard panel tests for genetic epilepsy DO NOT currently detect ring chromosomes, so unless the treating physician knows to request a karyotype to test for chromosomal mosaicism (and to submit at least 50-100 cells – which is more than usually submitted), then the chances of an r(20) diagnosis being made are actually very slim. We suspect that a proportion of patients with other epilepsy diagnosis e.g. LGS may actually have r(20), but have never had the diagnostic testing to prove this…
DID YOU KNOW that ring chromosomes occur 1 in 50,000 live births? So, why are there only 150 cases of r(20) cited in medical literature worldwide – we would expect a lot more…
Why is diagnosis important?
Diagnosis can lead to different options for care and treatment. Very topically at the moment we are all hearing about Cannabidiol (Epidyolex) in the news which is licensed in the US, and has just this week been approved by the EMA in Europe. Whilst there's some way to go for each European country to determine whether to offer Epidyolex under its own national health system, if and when it is approved for use it will initially only be available to those with a diagnosis of Dravet Syndrome or LGS as an add-on to Clobazam. It may be quite some time before this treatment can be prescribed off-label to other complex rare epilepsy patients such as those with r(20) syndrome – and yet we share the same symptoms as many LGS patients?I was privileged to be offered a spot on the patient panel, kicking off the main proceedings of the day. Nervous, but confident in my subject matter I took to the stage and waited for my slot to speak.
The panel theme was Patient groups partnering in the drug development process. Something for everyone? and my lovely mentor Ana Mingorance (pictured here) was facilitating. Ana was appointed to me by EURORDIS as part of the leadership program I'm following this year and this was the first face-to-face meeting for us, Ana is a neuroscientist and has a background working in drug discovery and development in the pharmaceutical industry. She has worked with the Dravet Foundation in Spain and now works with the LouLou Foundation (which represents CDKL5 another rare epilepsy).My presentation centered around the fact that as a patient group representing an ultra-rare disease we are at the very start of the drug development journey – in fact, we have some way to go to even take our first steps since we have a limited no. of diagnosed cases, no patient registry, very little research, no bio-markers and have never been involved in a clinical trial. Yet, I turn this on its head and suggest that we are ripe for opportunity! I explained that, even as an ultra-rare disease patient organisation we can still get involved and raise the profile of the disease we represent, which is exactly what I've done through my engagement in EpiCARE the European Reference Network (ERN) for rare and complex epilepsies. By simply participating in the discussions and being present, r(20) is getting heard and recognised and I know for a fact that in the regular Clinical Patient Management System (CPMS) sessions – where neurologists from across Europe discus the most complex cases in a virtual consultation session – recently several cases have been suggested to check for an r(20) diagnosis. Even if they're tested and found not to be r(20), that's progress! We're also working on several initiatives to produce educational materials for clinicians and patient families as part of EpiCARE – this wouldn't have happened if I wasn't volunteering for them.
My talk was recorded so I'll share this as and when it becomes available.
Immediately after my presentation was a much-needed coffee break, however I was approached immediately by two representatives from Illumina ( the company behind the super-computers who sequence the human genome on campus as part of the 100,000 genomes project). There interest was piqued by my talk and they want to talk more to see if they can help us. Jillian Hastings-Ward Chair of UK #Genomes100k Participant Panel popped by my stand to say hello too – we met a couple of months ago when I last spoke at the Sano Genetics event. Next up was Mary Bythell Head of Rare Disease Registration from the National Congenital Anomalies and Rare Disease Registry Service (NCARDRS). We'd previously been in contact with NCARDRS and found that they hadn't any records yet of r(20) patients, however now they're interested in speaking to us about how we can change this and we've already lined up a call to talk about next steps.
For those of you who don't know about these 3 organisations, they form the triad of services in the UK created as a result of the UK Rare Disease Strategy 2013-2020, which is due to be renewed shortly. These are key players in genomic sequencing/diagnosis (in which the UK are world leaders), rare disease registration and access to research for rare disease patients. We really want r(20) to be on their radar and we're working hard to make this happen. (In fact we are also in conversation with NIHR Bioresource Unit to determine how we might get an r(20)/ring chromosome cohort on their books.)
In the afternoon we were challenged to participate in a hackathon introduced by Baroness Nicola Blackwood, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Dept of Health and Social Care. Baroness Blackwood has a rare disease herself and so is a positive advocate for our community. We broke out into groups to cover different topics including diagnosis, care coordination, access to research, cost of treatment and patient empowerment. There was some lively discussion and I shout out for the ultra-rare diseases (including r(20)) where simply the basic needs must be met first and that the onus should not be on small 'kitchen table' patient organisations to fund these activities e.g. having a record of patients so its known how many people are affected and how they can be contacted for research participation. The results were discussed as a whole group and the key themes will be written up and presented back to Baroness Blackwood later this year, as input to the next UK Rare Disease Strategy. (This is the 3rd event where I have contributed to input to this strategy in a week, as I've also been working as part of the rare disease sub-group for the Neurological Alliance as well as attending an event organised by Genetic Alliance UK, so as a patient group we're definitely having our say and contributing to the final outcomes!)
There were many friends and acquaintances to catch up with at RAREsummit19 including Rare Revolution, Findacure, AKU Society, fellow EPAG representatives including from Pitt Hopkins, Jelena Aleksic from Sparkbio, Patrick Short from Sano Genetics…the list goes on. Although there are reported to be 8,000+ rare diseases the patient community is quite tight and strong and we all support each other like one big family. Ron Jortner (from Masthead Biosciences and Trustee for CRDN) recently contacted me about r(20) and included us in one of his talks – he'd now like to follow-up with a potential opportunity for us to present to pharma companies in the near future.
One of the organisers, Joanna Segeith (from Biosynetix) got in touch before the event and we had a brief dialog on the day. Joanna has an idea for a research opportunity for 'basket' trials and we're going to be speaking to Prof Helen Cross re how the 3 of us might take this idea forwards.
Just getting out there and talking about r(20) syndrome really does get us noticed. Perhaps next time one of you will join me as I could really use the support.
You may be thinking that many of the opportunities from this event are UK based, but we have to take small steps and start somewhere. My work with EpiCARE means we're also working at a European level. Next stop to conquer the world – one step at a time…eh?
I'll keep you posted on any developments. This really is where the magic happens!

How long is a literature review supposed to be?
In the absence of specific instructions about the length of a literature review, a general rule of thumb is that it should be proportionate to the length of your entire paper. If your paper is 15 pages long 2-3 pages might suffice for the literature review.
What is a twist ending in a story?
A plot twist is a literary technique that introduces a radical change in the direction or expected outcome of the plot in a work of fiction. When it happens near the end of a story, it is known as a twist or surprise ending.
What does every good story need?
A story has five basic but important elements. These five components are: the characters, the setting, the plot, the conflict, and the resolution. These essential elements keep the story running smoothly and allow the action to develop in a logical way that the reader can follow.
How long should a PhD literature review be?
approximately 6,000 to 12,000 words
What are the 8 elements of a short story?
The 8 elements of a story are: character, setting, plot, conflict, theme, point-of-view, tone and style. These story elements form the backbone of any good novel or short story. If you know the 8 elements, you can write and analyze stories more effectively.
Which part of the plot is the most intense?
Definition: The part of the plot that is the point of greatest tension in a work of literature and the turning point in the action or plot; it is the most intense moment – either mentally or in action. In a plot line, the climax occurs after the rising action and before the falling action.
What is the purpose of a literature review in a PhD?
It is where you must discuss and review the studies, perspectives, theories and bodies of work relevant to your research question(s) and, in the process, demonstrate the gaps or shortcomings in previous research that your work will fill. In this way, it justifies the research that your thesis goes on to discuss.
What is a turning point example?
The definition of a turning point is a point in time when something happens that causes a shift or an irrevocable change in direction. An example of a turning point in someone's life is the day a woman finds out she is pregnant. noun.
Which part of the plot shows the consequences of the climax?
Falling Action: The action falls immediately after the turning point. Events that occur in the falling action are the after- effects or consequences of the climax. Actions and dialogue lead the reader to the story's logical conclusion.
What comes first in a story?
Introduction. The beginning of a story is where the author introduces the five important questions: WHO, WHAT, WHY, WHEN and WHERE. They familiarise the reader with the characters, the plot, and the time zone. They give a general idea of what the reader has to expect from the narrative.
What is the turning point in a story called?
The climax (from the Greek word κλῖμαξ, meaning "staircase" and "ladder") or turning point of a narrative work is its point of highest tension and drama, or it is the time when the action starts during which the solution is given. The climax of a story is a literary element.

- well it's SOMETHING to celebrate. But in the midst of cooking, it suddenly hit me: I had no salt, pepper or anything. The spice rack was still in the old appartment. So I had to put the food on standby and go fetch spices in the old appartment, which is luckily only 50 meters away.
I had a chicken casserole with spinach, cream, red onion, mushrooms, cream cheese, a bit of tomato and nutmeg - over fresh fettucine. Yumyum.
Earlier today I spent 3 hours in hell - hell being Ikea on the first day open after christmas. I did get a lot of usefull stuff for the kitchen though, as well as closets and other stowe-away-furniture. The big things should arrive tomorrow. Unfortunately my bed was out of stock, and probably won't arrive for 4-5 weeks. It'll be nice with a proper closet though. Currently my clothes are stacked/piled/thrown into 3 moving crates and a few bed rollers. But I am 92.1% finished... approximately.

Two VR modes will be available alongside the main campaign.
During last week's State of Play presentation, it was revealed that the upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive Concrete Genie will be compatible with PlayStation VR capabilities. Now, we know a little bit more about what that means.
After completing the VR Experience mode, players will unlock the Free Paint mode. In this mode, players will be transported to one of four in-game locations and can paint whatever they want in a 3D space, creating whatever creatures they want, to their hearts' content.
Concrete Genie will launch on the PlayStation 4 sometime this fall.

Creating a webcast is smart marketing. It's also easy and fun.
Here's how to record a Skype interview on a Mac computer.
Mac laptop. I used a MacBook Pro, including iSight (Apple's internal webcam).
Good lighting. Ideally, lamps are placed above, in front, and 45 degrees from your face. I used some multi-light floor lamps–which did the trick. It is best to use professional spotlights, if available. Natural lighting works but can be inconsistent.
A good mic. It is worthwhile to invest in a mic. I purchased the Blue Snowball from Costco for $67.99. It is well designed with a modern 50s style. It easily switches from recording voice to music. Many say Blue Snowball is the best entry level, podcasting mic. It is recommended by Facebook expert Mari Smith. Results were well-rounded, clear sound. However, I did find it a bit soft. I'm sure with some more tweaking I can improve it. If you're using an iPhone, a headset is much better than a built-in mic.

I have been retired for 15 years due to an on the Job injury with my back. There are times my back bothers me but for the most part I can manage the pain fairly well. I started caching to help me get more exercise which my Doctors have told me is good for my back.
I took up Geocaching in 2008 to get me out walking more, and getting some exercise as my Doctor had suggested, that it has done. As a result my Doctor now caches as well. To learn what it is visit this link .
I have been known to cache at night, and I do mean night. The funny part is I have met the most cachers while caching at night. It is amazing who you will meet in the weirdest of places at night. I have run into one bear at night in the most unlikely of locations down in Port Mann.
In my spare time I run a cruise related webpage on the Panama Canal.
This blog will touch on my caching and hopefully you will see some of the neat places one can cache and where I have cached.

Mike Pence involved in campaign bus collision, then in second motorcade crash, in Pennsylvania | 30 July 2020 | Vice President Mike Pence was involved in a minor vehicle collision Thursday morning while stumping through western Pennsylvania -- shortly followed by a second campaign caravan crash. With Pence aboard, the Trump 2020 campaign bus collided with a dump truck around 11 a.m. in Allegheny County, according to journalists in the accompanying press pool. Following the minor fender-bender, the 61-year-old veep resumed the journey in a limo in the motorcade -- only for a pair of motorcycles in the security detail to go down just after 11:15 a.m.
