Jewels Doskicz caught my eye on Twitter one day. I was intrigued with the great information that she was posting on type 1 diabetes and celiac disease at SheSugar.com. When I found out she was a nurse with type 1 diabetes, I knew I wanted to meet her. I was interested in learning her take on the diabetes online community from two different perspectives, as a health care provider and as someone with diabetes. I reached out to her and she agreed to be interviewed for Caught Blue Handed! Caught Blue Handed! is a way for me to highlight individuals, organizations, and advocacy campaigns that promote diabetes awareness.
1. Tell me a little about yourself.
I've been a Registered Nurse since 1995, and also have a BA in psychology. I have been living personally with type 1 diabetes since 1984, diagnosed at age 13. My youngest daughter was diagnosed at age 5 with type 1 diabetes & celiac disease in 2007. One thing that I haven't written heavily about yet is exercise. I am an avid exerciser- I have run marathons, I road bike distances (hoping to a century ride for JDRF in Tucson this November), yoga, skiing, hiking. I try my best to do something active every day that I enjoy. Some days this puts me at the health club unfortunately, but I get it in. I am a true believer that diabetes cannot be controlled nearly as well without it.
2. Why are you so passionate about diabetes? And helping others with diabetes?
My passion about diabetes has always been present. Diagnosed at age 13 had its difficulties but I remember wrapping them up quite succinctly. At that young age I realized that I could live a healthful live with diabetes. I knew it wasn't going to go away anytime soon, so why not embrace it?
Back then (1984) there weren't glucometers, insulin pumps or fast acting insulins. I would check my blood sugar by applying blood to a strip, wiping it with a cotton ball and comparing it to a range of colors on the bottle. I would also test my urine for sugar and ketones daily. My insulin was Regular and NPH, given via syringe twice a day. The first glucometer I had was gigantic compared to what we have today. Believe it or not, my control was really great. My parents ate very well and taught me how to care for myself and my diabetes the right way. Even with limited tools, it was possible. Twenty eight years later, I have no complications from type 1 diabetes and I start every day with a smile on my face. Life has been very good to me and diabetes has made me into a very health oriented person. Diabetes has its gifts too.
3. Tell me about your blog, shesugar.com. What do you hope to accomplish?
When my daughter Emma was diagnosed it really lit a fire inside me to make a difference in the diabetes world. I have often been told by others what a wonderful resource I am for people with diabetes and their families. People frequently tell me I need to write a book (perhaps my writing with She Sugar will take me there…). My knowledge base quickly expanded with Emma's diagnosis, as well as phone calls from others for advice. I quickly realized the needs of the general public in regards to managing their children's diabetes and celiac disease as well.
I see She Sugar as a great outlet for me to express myself and share my growing knowledge with others. Knowing about diabetes and living with diabetes are two totally different things. People look to others who have it or parent to it for compassion and understanding. Parents want to know if they are doing things right or how they can make things better. A doctor's office is a wonderful place to start this process, but it never ends there. Practical knowledge isn't found in an office, it is found through others living lives parallel to yours.
When I meet another family there is an instant bonding that happens. We can look each other in the eye and know in that moment we understand what is happening in each other's lives. It can be very personal and raw for people; they may be feeling alone and failing in their struggle with diabetes. It is difficult for me to express the constant vigilance that goes into managing diabetes in a young child. It doesn't stop for a day, it is always there. We worry, we check, we get up at night, we call, our children call, you can't turn it off.
Diabetes is a special disease because it requires maintenance minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day. No two days are the same, no person is the same. Everyone's experience is unique, there is a general mold to follow for management but it is merely a guide. I often say type 1 diabetes is a giant science experiment, sometimes you just don't know what you are going to get. The stakes are high and management is so important.
Children in general are much more difficult to manage in my personal experience. Adults know how they feel, plan their food, exercise, and other variables. Kids start to eat and then only take two bites making insulin management crazy! They have bursts of activity, growth hormone, more colds than adults and are learning their bodies and its cues. They are just a bundle of surprises as are all children.
It was challenging for me when my daughter was diagnosed as I already had diabetes for 23 years. I knew all about diabetes, which made it easier, but also more difficult in the same breath. I never thought in a million years my children would too, I just didn't.
4. How do you use your background as a RN to inform your blog and tweets?
I realized the small list of resources for women with type 1 when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. I couldn't find much online and started to work on my own website. Twelve years ago I called it Shesugar.com, but I never completed my project. The idea of She Sugar of course continued to pulse through my brain over a number of busy years. Last year my husband and I were talking about getting a website rolling again. I searched and realized Shesugar.com was still available and bought the domain name on the spot. That was the beginnings of Shesugar.com, which went live at the end of Dec. 2011.
I have a large base of knowledge from my education and my years of experience as a nurse, a mom and a person with diabetes. When it comes to medicine, I really understand the way the body works which is an important piece in writing about diabetes or any health condition. Being a nurse gives me a leg up on understanding medical jargon, articles and politics in the medical community. I try my best to write in an easily understandable and digestible fashion. Diabetes and celiac disease are both my specialties and my passion. I'm an educator, advocate, and volunteer. I do this all while managing my own diabetes and parenting to my daughter's diabetes.
5. As a health care provider, and someone with diabetes, how do you feel about the diabetes online community?
The online community is truly a wonderful way for people to connect from all over the globe. I have met some fantastic people through social media that I never would have otherwise. I am very careful not to give medical advice to people online. Those waters need to be treaded very carefully. I had already been primed about this, as I volunteer for the JDRF Online Diabetes Support Team (ODST) answering questions from people about type 1 diabetes.
Through my voice on Shesugar, I hope to inspire health, happiness and well being with type 1 diabetes. Information and education are very powerful tools. If individuals and families have knowledge, they will feel better equipped to face the daily challenges of life with type 1 diabetes.
I think there is definitely room for growth and expansion of services online. I appreciate my online interactions with others and make my career even more fulfilling through volunteerism. I volunteer in many capacities with JDRF, our community, summer camps, and through my website.
6. Finally, what are your social media links so people can follow you?

After shooting a round of 63 Saturday at Hillcrest Country Club, Cody King and Shawn Reeves deserved to celebrate. Not for long, though.
They have a two-shot lead, and everyone else has a chance as the Swinger partnership moves to a final day filled with possibilities. Eight teams are within four strokes of the top, where King and Reeves are perched at 13 under par.
"We at least have a shot tomorrow,'' Ross Tyler said, speaking for himself and partner Ronnie Angeley after they posted a second-round 65.
Then again, maybe he was speaking for half the championship flight.
"We're right in the mix. We're happy about that,'' Blake Ashcraft said after he teamed with Jon Lummus for a second-round 67.
"We've just got to finish a little bit better and we're there,'' John Cardinal said after he and Barrett Gray turned in a 66.
The teams of Tyler/Angeley, Ashcraft/Lummus and Cardinal/Gray are tied at 11 under par, two shots behind. Two teams at 10 under and two at 9 under are far from out of it, especially in the two-man low-ball format where three- and four-shot leads often vanish in no time.
They'll all be firing at King and Reeves, who were surprised to discover they could go from tied for sixth to leading, even with a 9-under round.
"Being as far back as we were, I was just hoping to be close to playing in the last group,'' Reeves said. "I'd have been happy playing in the second to last.''
But to the top they went Saturday with King making five birdies, Reeves four and scattering them on different holes. They climbed back into the hunt shooting 31 on the first nine, then got some separation by making birdie on three of the last four holes.
"I like how we finished,'' King said. "We've got good vibes going in.''
Reeves capped the round sticking a wedge 15 feet above the hole and coaxing in the putt. That came on No. 9 since the championship flight started on No. 10 and played the back nine first.
All of a sudden, Reeves is in position to win his fourth Lubbock major on four courses, all in the last 12 months. The hot stretch started last July at LakeRidge, when he teamed with King to win the Stampede. Since then, he's won the events of the year put on by Lubbock Country Club and the Rawls Men's Golf Association and nearly won Odessa's Quarter Century partnership.
King has been less consistent, struggling as recently as a month ago. But the week before the tournament, King played three rounds under par at Hillcrest, and there's been a carryover.
"I started playing a little bit more,'' he said. "My game's so much about feel anyway. If I'm feeling it, I play good. If I'm not feeling it, I can't get there.
"I'm still not hitting it as good as I was last year. My driver's still iffy, and my irons are iffy. When I get my putter rolling, that pretty much sets the tone for the day.''
Cardinal and Gray could have been right at the top, too, except they ran into trouble on their next-to-last hole. Playing downwind into No. 8, both watched their approaches from 100 yards go over the green, then failed to get up and down.
The humdrum ending is something they want to work on for today.
In two days, Cardinal and Gray have played their first nine holes in 9-under and their second nine in 2-under.
"We played solid,'' Cardinal said. "I don't think we did anything special. We came out, kept it in the fairway and had two good looks on most holes. I think we just need to finish a little better is our thing.''
Cardinal and Gray were playing with Lummus and Ashcraft, who treated them to some spectacular shots. Lummus birdied three holes from off the green - holing out from the sand on 17, chipping in from behind the green on No. 3 and canning a putt from just off the green on No. 9.
In fact, the 31-year-old pharmacy owner from San Angelo made all six of his team's birdies.
"Hopefully, he can play like he did today, and I can actually show up tomorrow and we'll be in good shape,'' Ashcraft said.
Defending champions J.D. Dickerson and Shawn Savage were more grousing than grateful to be among the teams at 10 under. A 71 dropped them from three shots ahead to three shots behind.
Nearly always contenders in Lubbock majors and often winners, they got stuck with an uncharacteristic four bogeys. Once, they both plugged the lip of a bunker from the fairway. Twice, they three-putted the same green.
"Just stupid bogeys,'' Savage said. "We weren't even in trouble, and we made four bogeys. It was just idiotic.''
"Bad course management,'' Dickerson said.

One of many issues that going via a lot loss of life in my world has actually taught me is the art of letting people go. Growing up as a baby of divorced dad and mom, it seems as if this lesson was one that from the very starting I used to be destined to study. The PhD, which is required for students who want to work as university professors in musicology, music historical past, or music theory, takes three to 5 years of study after the master's degree, throughout which era the coed will complete advanced courses and undertake analysis for a dissertation.
In music written using the system of main-minor tonality ("keys"), which incorporates most classical music written from 1600 to 1900 and most Western pop, rock and conventional music, the important thing of a chunk determines the size used, which centres across the "house notice" or tonic of the key.
This usage of the phrase "the weather of music" hyperlinks extra carefully with Webster's New 20th Century Dictionary definition of a component as: "a substance which cannot be divided into an easier type by known methods" 18 and educational institutions' lists of elements align with this checklist as well.
Although there have been an enormous variety of women composers in classical music, from the Medieval interval to the current day, women composers are considerably underrepresented within the generally carried out classical music repertoire , music history textbooks and music encyclopedias; for instance, in the Concise Oxford Historical past of Music, Clara Schumann is likely one of the solely feminine composers who's talked about.
In historic instances, akin to with the Historic Greeks , the aesthetics of music explored the mathematical and cosmological dimensions of rhythmic and harmonic organization. You may obtain songs, albums or play lists from both a mobile app (cached) or net browser (local mp3).

Native American Silver and Gold Bolos
Large bold Navajo silver bear overlay collector's bolo. The artist has created a large concho style bolo pendant in the silver overlay technique. He applies a detailed silver grizzly bear onto a scorched silver base and then encircles the bear with an overlay displaying the terrain around the bear. He finishes by again applying an overlay frame around the outer rim of the concho and applying a repeating decorative stampwork around the outer ring. The artist has attached a thumb locking bolo clasp on the back that holds a black braided leather cord with bead tipped end tips.

Bands of Bonds
In the previous two blogs, we talked about how risk can throw off your expected returns and how standard deviation can be used to measure risk.
In this blog we will talk about measuring the riskiness of bonds.
The natural question is that how can bonds be risky when they promise a fixed interest periodically and the repayment of the principal upon the maturity date of the bond? Apart from the possibility that the bond issuer may default on its payments, bonds take on risk because their value before maturity date may go up or down.
It is like a see-saw. When interest rates move up, bond prices move down. When interest rates move down, bond prices move up. So if you bought a bond with the intention of possibly selling it before maturity date, you took on market risk.
As mentioned, bonds react to movements in interest rates. And financial experts have come up with a measure to determine how much a bond's value will move with changes in interest rates. In particular, this measure is called modified duration.
The formula for modified duration is already built into MS Excel so we will not bother with it. Suffice it to say that modified duration gives the approximate percentage change in a bond's price per +/-100 basis point change in interest rates, assuming that the bond's expected cash flows remain fixed (as some bonds have variable cash flow).
So if a bond has a modified duration of say 5 (i.e. the technical convention is in years), it means that this bond's value will go down by 5% for a 100 basis point rise in interest rates (i.e. 1% x 5). And for a fall in interest rates of 100 basis points, this bond's value will go up by 5% (i.e. 1% x 5). Remember that bond prices move in the opposite direction of interest rates.
Modified duration can also be used for a portfolio of bonds like a bond fund. And the same rules apply: the higher the portfolio's modified duration, the wider will be the band within which the portfolio's value will move with the change in interest rates.
At the end of the day, the higher or shall we say the longer the modified duration, the wider the band of price movement and therefore the riskier the bond or bond portfolio is. So next time you are buying a bond or a bond fund, find out what the modified duration is to see if the risk level of that bond is aligned with yours.
The only way you can get rid of the band of bond price movement is if you buy bonds with the intention of holding them up to maturity. Just make sure you are already contented with the interest you will be receiving.

What happened last month?
Australian Federal Budget was announced on 13 May. Our Chief Strategist Michael Knox summarized the budget as follows: "Joe Hockey has produced a horror budget where the horror is purely PG rated. Spending in future years is supported at recent levels. At no times does spending as a percentage of GDP fall to the level of the Gillard / Swan Budget of 2012 / 2013. Spending remains well above the prudent levels achieved at the end of the Howard government in 2007 / 2008. Growth increases. Unemployment stabilizes; then begins to fall. The budget even improves to almost balance. Best of all, the faint hearted can pretend that they have lived through true horror."
What do we think?
Obviously, the government is looking to narrow the budget deficit by:
- Increasing revenue by raising taxes (such as Temporary Budget Repair Levy, the return to fuel excise indexation and the 1.5% increase in corporate tax for companies earning > A$5 million revenue p.a.)
- Cutting costs by cutting to welfare, the public services and introducing a co-payment for GP services and medicines covered by the pharmaceutical benefit scheme.
- Limiting New Spending by scaling back on paid parental leaves
Among all the cutting, (1) The increase in Centrelink Pension age and (2) The co-payment of $7 both signal "the age of entitlement is over". It's particularly important as 50% of our Federal spending is in the areas of Welfare / Heathcare and certainly not sustainable with our aging population.
Also, there are a few spending initiatives in the budget which we found interesting. The cut in corporate tax will benefit small business while the spending on infrastructure will likely offset the impact of mining investment slowdown. Further, the much talked about paid parental leave scheme is significantly smaller than the Coalition proposed prior to the election.
The challenge now is how all political parties get their act together and pass the legislation.
Consumer Discretionary – Despite some fear mongering in the media, the FY15 Budget does not appear to be a significant burden on the consumer but the majority of cut will be from FY16 onward. We think the budget is relatively neutral for DJS, MYR, DSH, JBH, WOW and WES. Similarly, the gaming stocks, CWN and TAH, should be relatively unaffected.
Infrastructure - An additional A$15bn in infrastructure spending over 6 years is aimed at offsetting the impact of the mining investment downturn by hopefully stimulating A$125bn in infrastructure investment by FY20. If successful the infrastructure program should benefit LEI, LLC, BLD and possibly DOW. TCL should benefit from increased spending on Westconnex and the road network around the new Sydney airport and East-West link in Melbourne.
Investment Banks – The sale of Medibank Private is expected to raise $4 billion in FY14/15 and the government also plans to sell Royal Australian Mint, Australian Hearing, The ASIC corporate register and Defence Housing Australia etc which will certainly keep our investment banking colleagues busy.
Healthcare - Across our universe, PRY and SHL will be directly impacted, with our expectation for the reduced demand from these changes likely offset by revenue increases having a net neutral/positive for both companies.
Overall, we think the budget is quite market neutral as such after the initial relief rally we think the market may again experience volatility going into the end of financial year.

No Great Expectations from Imran KhanColumns, Opinion July 31, 2018 No Comments on No Great Expectations from Imran Khan 235
By RK Sinha
One should not expect too much from the change of regime in Islamabad. Former Cricketer Imran Khan is all set to become next Prime Minister with his Pakistan Tehreek-i- Insaf Party emerging as the single largest party that needs two dozen odd members to reach the majority mark to form government.
Before coming to any inference on future relation with India, a brief recount of Pakistan's political history is needed. Ever since the birth of the nation in 1947, Pakistan has never seen a healthy democracy. The Army in the past has overthrown elected governments taking over the command of the nation either as Chief Martial Law Administrator or as President.
Pakistan is not a theocratic state but it is akin to a system of governance that is dominated by religion, Islam. Theocracy is a system of government in which priests rule in the name of God. In Pakistan it is not priests but the Army Junta that rules the country either by proxy or directly. Generally, the Pakistani Army Chief is considered all power. This is not a fact or a reality in that country.
The Army Chief draws his power from the Corps Commanders headed by officers of Lieutenant General rank. There are 9 Operational Corps Commanders who lend power to the chief. Without the support of the Corps Commanders the Army Chief in Pakistan is toothless tiger.
The last time the Army took over power was in 1999 when the then Pakistan Army Chief Gen. Pervez Musharraf staged a bloodless coup overthrowing elected Prime Minister Nawaz Sheriff and assuming power and later by anointing himself as President of Pakistan in 2001. Without going into details of the coup, it should be mentioned here that Nawaz Sheriff wanted to improve relations with India. The then Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee reciprocated by leading a high profile delegation to Lahore travelling from Delhi in a bus.
Musharraf did not like the bonhomie between Pakistani Prime Minister Sheriff and the Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee. Pakistani Army infiltrated into Indian soil in Kargil in 1999 soon after the Bus Yatra of Vajpayee that led to short duration war between India and Pakistan. The Indian Army pushed back the Pakistani infiltrators and regained the ground thus winning the war once again against Pakistan.
The infiltration by Pakistani Army was without the knowledge and approval of Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sheriff. When Musharraf got the air that he was likely to be replaced he staged coup and overthres S=Nawaz Sheriff.
The Army in Pakistan has never been in favour of an improved relation between India and Pakistan. When Sheriff returned to power in 2013 as Prime Minister he made some attempts to improve ties with India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi reciprocated and even made unscheduled and surprise visit in December 2015 to Lahore by landing there to greet Pakistan Prime Minister Sheriff. It was not digested by the Pakistan Army.
Result, the ISI let loose more terrorists to attack our Army and Security forces base in Kashmir. The terrorists also attacked forward base of Indian Air Force in Pathankot. Later, Sheriff was charged for corruption and jailed. His Party lost the just concluded election. The Pakistan Army is capable of influencing the course of justice.
Imran Beware
The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Party leader should take guards before batting since he is not a batsman but a bowler. In his new innings it is Pakistan Army Chief Qamar Bajwa who will bowl, delivering bouncers and swings to Imran Khan.
Imran Khan's initial statements are not surprising. It is customary for any winner in polls likely to head his country to say good words and raise hopes. He has spoken of a good relation with India with emphasis on trade and also a good relation with Afghanistan. Both India and Afghanistan are facing heat from the ISI sponsored terrorist attacks.
Reports emanating from Pakistan indicate that Imran had the backing of the Army in elections. Whether the Pakistan Poll was rigged or not is a matter of Pakistani Political Parties to settle. For India, we have to watch closely and carefully if the new regime is able to stop exporting terror to India. If terrorists from across the border continue to strike in Kashmir, it will prove, yet to be sworn as Prime Minister Imran Khan's surrender to the Army in order to survive as Prime Minister. It will be nothing but a façade of elected government in Islamabad. Imran Khan is not known to take stand on political matters that would weaken his position vis a vis the Pakistan Army.
Cricketers in India & Pakistan Active Now
The Cricket Lobby in India and Pakistan suddenly has become active after seeing a former Pakistan Cricketer becoming Prime Minister. Some Indian cricketers are hoping to revive Cricket match between the two countries. In Pakistan too, the Cricketers would lobby to revive the game between India and Pakistan.
But any possibility of revival of cricket matches between the two countries would depend how the new regime behaves and act instead of making statements to normalize relations between New Delhi and Islamabad. So far India is concerned we will wait and watch before taking a step forward or extending a hand of friendship to Imran Khan. Also to be watched is the conduct of Hurriyat Conference in the days to come. For Imran Khan like any other Pakistani leader 'Kashmir remains the core issue between India and Pakistan'.

Each summer, students and faculty in Spalding's School of Creative and Professional Writing travel to a different location abroad, where we tailor our rich residency to include the literary and cultural highlights of our locale.
Summer residencies begin in late June or July and are paired with an extended independent study that ends in March. We've studied in Paris, London, Rome, Buenos Aires, Kyoto, and many other locales. This video tells the story of our summer 2015 residency in Greece.
Upcoming destination
Santiago, Chile, July 8-18, 2019
Nestled against the backdrop of the snowy Andes, surrounded by vineyards and lined by parks, Santiago is the cultural and political capital of Chile. Its literary luminaries include Pablo Neruda, Isabel Allende, and Roberto Bolaño.
In July, the city enjoys wintertime temperatures ranging from the 30s to 60s. Santiago's time zone is the equivalent of Eastern Daylight Time, making an easy adjustment for U.S. travelers.
Santiago Curriculum & Culture
We'll stay at a hotel in the heart of the city, 5 minutes' walking distance from the Barrio Bellavista neighborhood of restaurants, cafes and bars. Our classes take place at Universidad de Chile, a 20-minute walk from the hotel.
Faculty-led workshops form the backbone of residency. As a student, you'll also attend craft lectures, readings, and sessions on publishing and professional writing. You'll read and discuss South American literature and try your hand at a cross-genre exercise. After residency, you'll work one-on-one with a faculty mentor in an independent study focused on fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, writing for children and young adults, playwriting, or screenwriting.
Our guided cultural tours and excursions include
- The Pablo Neruda home in Santiago
- The Violeta Parra Museum (Parra was a composer known as the "Mother of Latin American folk")
- A daylong excursion to the colorful port city of Valparaiso
- A visit to "La Sebastiana," Pablo Neruda's home & museum in Valparaiso
- A wine tour and tasting
- Welcome and farewell dinners at exciting Santiago restaurants
You can also opt to take a guided tour of the Human Rights and Memory of Violence Museum. And you'll have time to explore on your own.
How much does tuition cost?
Tuition is the same as in spring and fall semesters: $570/credit hour, or $8,550 for the semester, which includes a 3-hour residency course and 12-hour independent study course.
How much does the ground travel package cost?
The ground travel package price is $3,013. Incoming students who enroll for travel by March 10 pay a discounted price of $2,563.
Will we be there for the July 2 solar eclipse?
Residency begins about a week after the total solar eclipse in the Elqui Valley, 465 miles north of Santiago. Travelers may choose to arrive in Chile early to view the eclipse or stay in country after residency for skiing or other outdoor adventures.
What's the deadline to apply?
February 1 was the application deadline for admission to the MFA and Post-bachelor's Certificate programs for the Summer 2019 semester. If you've missed the deadline, contact us to learn whether we're considering late applications.
How do I sign up?
Contact Katy Yocom for more information.

Bow Tie Sweater c/o || AG Skinny Jeans || Similar Leopard Heels || Melie Bianco Bag (Old, Similar Here) || Striped Turtleneck || Stella & Dot Ring || Jackie Kennedy Cascade Ring ||
Happy Friday, friends! It's no secret I have quite a love for anything with a bow on it. They can elevate even the simplest piece into something very special and of course I love the feminine feel. This sweater has two black bow ties on either side and a high low hemline. The bottom half of the sweater is open where the ties are so I layered a turtleneck underneath. It is a one size fits all and is only $21. There's just something about a tan sweater in the fall. It's a classic and goes with everything!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! It's supposed to rain and even possibly snow up my way. Definitely good movie weather. There's quite a few good ones out or coming out very soon. I'm particularly wanting to see Murder On The Orient Express. Poirot has always been a favorite of mine!

Instead of killing each other, try partnership, to save your ideas and foster the achievement of a shared goal; thus, adding value to lives and achieving success.
A common practice in Nigerian entrepreneur space is unhealthy competition, when partnership or collaboration should be most preferred. Although, startups are aware of the benefits of partnerships, most of them still frown at it.
For this reason, most tech start-ups don't thrive in the Nigerian ecosystem of scarce resources, causing repeated failures.
Why Do Start-ups Frown at Partnership?
Some reasons why Nigerian Tech Start-up founders frown at partnerships according to Derin Fagbure of "In Black and White" are
- The fear of losing control; that is, fear of sharing part of the pie,
- Hate for accountability,
- The formality of discussion and voting on every decision that needs to be taken,
- Difficulty in identifying a genuine partner who truly shares similar vision with the promoter,
- Slow Nigerian judicial system and the dispute resolution settlement process which take ages in the instance that a dispute arises. (although the possibility of exploring Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) makes this less of a problem, a documented agreement might still pose difficulty for ADR, especially if some terms are stated clearly in the deal.
- The philosophy of family business. Most promoters or start-up founders want to build businesses for family, forgetting that they have no control once they die.
Aim Of Partnership According To U.S MDGs
If you recollect, the 8th Millennium Development Goal (MDG) to be precise is "Global partnership for development". As clearly stated, the aim of partnership is to foster development globally.
But then, how will the aforementioned be achieved if Local partnership has not been considered as an option by SMEs in Nigeria?
Advantages Of Partnership
The advantages of partnership cannot be over emphasised. On a global scale, a number of firms and tech giants partner with each other, relying on the other parties for resources. An example of this is the business deal between Samsung and Snapdragon for powerful processors which powers Samsung smartphones; if not all, 97%.
The reasons listed below are advantages of partnership.
Rationale For Partnership
Reasons why Tech start-ups in Nigeria should partner includes
- Share resources
- Distribute uncertainties
- Increase authority both physically and online.
- Increase strength, to fill lapses of parties involved
- Spur innovation and creativity
- Cut excesses. Your partner would restrain you from excesses, and taking irrational decisions, especially if it's going to hurt the company.
Validating Partnership Deals
Long terms and conditions with many details hidden in beautiful colours clearly describes partnership deeds. These beautiful colours lure you into partnership deeds that are going to run you down.
In a nutshell, partnership deals are not easy to understand, most of them are drafted tactically to lure desperate, careless entrepreneurs into traps. For this reason, these deals must be validated, for "what is" and "what isn't".
How Should Partnership Deals Be Validated?
Validating contract is difficult, but you can start with the check list below.
1. Parties Involved: The contract must identify who the parties are; usually names are sufficient, but sometimes addresses or title may be used.
2. Consent Of Parties: A valid contract also requires the parties' consent, which must be free, mutual and communicated to each other. Consent is not free when obtained through duress, menace, fraud, undue influence or mistake. Obviously, a person who signs a contact because he has been manipulated hasn't consented to the agreement and can cancel it.
Furthermore, consent isn't mutual unless both parties agree on the same thing in the same sense. This is often referred to as "meeting of the minds". Generally, there's an offer and an acceptance communicated by the parties.
3. Object Being Agreed On: The thing being agreed to is the object. It must be definite i.e, written concisely, everything spelt out. It must also be lawful.
4. Consideration By Parties Involved: Since both parties must gain, the contract requires consideration. When a party agrees to do something or not to do something, they must gain something. Generally, if an agreement is to do marketing and you don't promise anything, you can sue the party for not marketing because you didn't give any consideration.
Everything should be put in written form so, reference can be made to it when necessary.
Finding Good Partners
Of course, doing business with strangers requires that both party look for ways to outsmart the other. The afore-stated does not exclude close friends, since most of them understand you and know your weakness even more.
But a start-up community with an overseer who does not want the community's image tarnished would be a perfect place to look. Since members of the community have shared interest with time, they will pose less threat.
Steps to Finding Ideal Partners In Start-up Communities
1. What do I need?: First, start with an honest assessment of your skills and where you need help. Your partner should fill that skill gap of yours. It will be more like a complement for your skills.
2. Who do I need?: Identify the personal qualities you are looking for in ideal partner. Beyond a specific skill set, what attributes do you value in your founding team? Honesty? Optimism? Unwavering commitment? Relentless pursuit of excellence? Know what you want.
Read full text about this topic here.
Also, be a member of start-up communities like @Naijastartups, Techcabal, etc to network with Entrepreneurs and work things out, if you do not know where to start.
Ideas come to reality only when you have resources and support. Also, no idea is too big to let anyone in. Try today to partner, share resources, and achieve a common goal. Perhaps this is all it takes to achieve success.
Instead of killing each other, try partnership to save your ideas and foster the achievement of a shared goal.

Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's said Thursday that "religous fascists" are eyeing Sindh after "conquering Punjab" and questioned the discriminatory and "indifferent" attitude of "many politicians" to the plight of religous minorities in Pakistan.
Addressing the Hindu popluation from Larkana on the ccassion of Diwali, Bilawal –starting his speech with "Salam", followed by the Hindu greeting "Namaste"– lashed out at "religious fascists" saying, "Marsun marsun Sindh na daisun. Marsun marsun Jinnah ka Pakistan na daisu." (I'll die, won't give up Sindh. I'll die won't give up Jinnah's Pakistan).
"We want a Pakistan that my mother (PPP leader Benzair Bhutto), PPP's founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Quaid-e–Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah dreamed of," he said, adding that PPP wanted a .Pakistan "where Muslims and non-Muslims are treated equally; a Pakistan where Diwali and Eid are celebrated with the same passion and fervour".
He said that religious fascists only care about their personal and political gains and use laws made by former military dictator General Ziaul Haq to usurp the rights of the poor and non-Muslims in the name of religion.
"After conquering Punjab, these religious fascists are planning evil designs for Sindh," he alleged and vowed not to allow these elements to succeed.
"In Pakistan, the pro-status quo politicians are either too scared or do not care to stand up and speak for the poor and religious minorities."
"In Punjab, an attack takes place on a church in Joseph Colony and no one speaks up! A blast occurs in a church in Peshawar and there is still silence!" claimed Bilawal, adding that in the eyes of "many politicians", Muslim and non-Muslims are not equal.
"If there is an attack on a mosque or temple, the PPP considers this an attack on Ghari Khuda Bux itself," said Bilawal, adding that PPP wants a Pakistan where Muslims and non-Muslims are considered equals in the eyes of the law.

1 red bell pepper, diced (I used green instead)
2 tsp minced garlic
3-6 oz. chorizo, cubed (as we didn't have any on hand, I used organic bacon which I sautéed first)
2C broth (chicken, beef, or vegetable)
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp cumin
chili powder
2 cans unseasoned black beans
Salt to taste
2 dashes of lime juice per serving to taste
½ tsp fresh coriander leaves, shredded, per serving
· Heat 1 tbsp oil in your pot, sauté onion and pepper until almost caramelized
· Add garlic, continue sautéing until onions and peppers are caramelized (total time approximately 7-10 minutes)
· Remove from pan, set aside
· Add oil to your pan as needed, brown chorizo (approximately 3-5 minutes)
· Return onion, pepper, and garlic to the pan
· Add broth, oregano, cumin, and chili powder, simmer for 5 minutes
· Add the beans, salt to taste, and simmer for another 5-10 minutes
· Note: if you slightly mash the beans, they'll release some of their starchiness into the broth, and your soup will be thicker
· As you serve, add the dashes of lime juice and the cilantro to each bowl
· Serves 4-6 (in our case I made double and it was nearly gone!)
Serving suggestions
· Serve with plantain chips or crusty bread on the side (Cuban bread, if you can find it!) and maybe some avocado!
· The next day, the soup will be thicker – serve over rice for a variation, with a green salad on the side
· Enjoy!

Ordo Xenos Inquisitorial Report
World: Thordas
Rank Restriction: Class 5 Interrogator or higher
Inquisitorial Override provided.
Rank Restriction lifted for authorized for
Interrogator Caiten Reath
acolytes only.
Situation Report now open...
Report Codename: "Two shades of Green"
Location: Thordas, Far Cast Sector, Segmentum Tempestus
Planetary Classification: Frontier World
Geographical Terrain: 45% land, 55% water. 69% of land mass covered in mid to heavy vegetation.
Date: 0 29 998.M41
Thordas, an Imperial world established to for the purposes of Archeotech collection, sits at the edge of the Far Cast sector. After many years of development the planets population grew to a total of 3 billion, which worked to supply the dig sites with labor and necessary equipment. Out of the way of most space lanes and a relatively new colony of approximately 400 years, it never garned much attention from Malleus or Xenos elements.
In what would prove a strange act of hubris, the planetary govenor announced on [6 185 991.M41] that the planet, even if noticed by Xenos or daemonic forces, would be repelled by the highly trained members of the PDF.
In an equally strange act of galactic irony, this very sentiment would see the happenstance arrival of the Orkish Grultrak Waagh! a mere 3 months later. With the ominous words "Dis here be the world we was lookin' for? Goooooood We's been lookin' for it for awhile now. We's gonna take what we wants and make the hummies unnerstand da real meanin' of WAAAGH!" the invasion began.
The world was immediately engulfed in warfare that the PDF proved entirely incapable of dealing with. The discoveries of several ancient tech pieces as well as 3 well preserved single-purpose STC's made the world far too important to be abandoned to Orks or simply burned via an Exterminatus. Two Imperial Fleets have since arrived at the world and began a reclamation effort of the world. The strange nature regarding the Orks arrival resulted in the deployment of several companies of Deathwatch Adeptus Astartes to cull the Orks numbers. However, due to stiff resistance by the Orks, the battle became drawn out and thus attracted the attention of multiple other warbands, resulting in a near constant stream of Ork reinforcement to the world. While the assistance of the Deathwatch has stabilized the battle lines and begun to push the Orks back, the constant stream of Orks continues to press upon the world, causing foreward movement to stall frequently.
Battle Status: Victory Inevitable
Expected Date of Imperial Operation Completion: Unknown
---Report End---
*The screen then fades to black and then is replaced with a holovid of Thordas, spinning slowly on its axis, a series of of lines and shaded regions denoting attack and counter-attack motions as well as battle lines, for both side*
Stepping back up the stage Interrogator Caiten Reath turns and faces those combined retinue that he has collected for a mission on Thordas.
"Now that you have seen the official battle report, acolytes, you have some understanding of what this world is and its history. Obviously at this point what you don't have is a reason to care. The issues of galactic warfare and cleansing of worlds through mass force of arms is not something one collects a group as well trained and elite agents such as yourselves to the Ordo Xenos to do. And indeed, although to join our brothers in arms down on those battlefield to put a few extra holes in those pieces of Orkish trash would be most fulfilling, we have more pressing matters to deal with."
*pressing several buttons at the base of the projector the planet vid disappears and is replaced with the holovid of a particularly large and ugly looking Orc, armed with several large pieces of weaponry and a bionik power claw.*
"This is Warboss Grimthak. And by all proper accountings he should be dead. Ten months ago it was reported that his ship, a 'rok' as they call it, was destroyed 25 kilometers away from the atmosphere of Thordas. The ship was utterly destroyed a mere 10 seconds after he had completed a message taunting a Fleet Admiral. No pieces of the ship were left intact and no pieces of the ship ever broke off of the Rok prior to it being destroyed. In essence, no chance for escape. Two months later he was directly IDed leading an attack on the city of Pearl's Shine. While Orks are known to be tough, this goes far beyond any rational explanation. Even if he survived the blast he would not have survived the depths of space or re-entry into Thordas' atmosphere."
"So we have a ghost on our hands, sir?" a voice speaks out from the assembled.
"So it would seem. But I don't believe in ghosts and nor does MY boss, Inquisitor Tantrus. We are here to discover how this Ork survived." Reath responded.
"Is that really all, sir?" another voice spoke out. "While I do not question how we are used, did we really need to be deployed out here for what sounds like a scout's job?"
"Were it just a single isolated incidence of an Ork Warboss surviving impossible odds then we would simply have been content to have a member of the Deathwatch put a bolt between his eyes and call it a day. But there have been far too many 'coincidences' and 'happenstance' situations for us to look the other way for now. The Imperial Governor was a fool, but not a psyker. The idea that he somehow 'called the Orks' to himself by some fluke of interaction with the Warp is a pile of Grox shit. Furthermore, the words that Grultrak spoke when he entered the system aren't the words of an Ork who just happened upon a world to destroy. He knew where he wanted to be. And finally, the strange movement of Grimthak from dead in space to planetside 2 months later is out of nowhere. Something strange is up, and we don't think it is just because Orks are involved."
"What is the mission?" a female voice inquired plainly.
"You will be deposited in the city of Blade's edge. It is the closest city to Pearl's Shine that we can safely deposit you at. This should probably get you reasonably close to Grimthak. Find out anything you can about how he arrived here and then kill him."
"And then what? We charge through the Ork hordes in all their innumerable stupidity?" a questioning response came.
"The Deathwatch will smash one of the warbands in the area giving you an easy walk to the first beseiged city of Black Ridge. Ever since the Imperial CCXII Fleet intercepted and destroyed two space hulks and blocked off a large armada or Ork reinforcements you should have about 2-3 weeks to enter the countryside which shouldn't be nearly as packed with Orks as other areas are. If you keep low and stay smart about when you engage, you should be able to avoid too much trouble. If you're up agaisnt too much, just run. The forests are pretty dense, and their bulk will give you an advantage in getting away.
Any other questions?
No? Good. I'll be heading planetside with you and will keep you updated from the ground. The rest is up to you. Good hunting and may the Eyes of the Emperor shine favorably down on you."

Fourth and fifth century B.C.E saw the rise of many new ways of thinking, and some of greatest thinkers to contribute to Greek philosophy: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Natural philosophy in Greece was a sort of "prequel" to modern science we know today. It took a new approach, straying from the traditional ideas of gods controlling everything on earth, and shifted focused to the study of the physical universe. (Philosophy of Nature)
The study of mathematics was one of the many subjects that was questioned during this time. Evidence of a complex reality began to surface, and sages speculated the idea of infinity and a universe without limits. With these studies came the invention of geometry. Geometry showed that certain ratios, like those used to measure a circle, are numbers that are impossible to determine exactly. This discovery showed the advancement of the human mind, and how we were able to realize our senses can only take in so much of reality. (Fernández-Armesto)
"Reality can be invisible, untouchable, and yet accessible to reason." -Felipe Fernández-Armesto
Around 350 BCE–250 CE, the culture of Hellenism arose in Afroeurasia. It was considered a "common identity of all who embraced Greek ways." (Shrinking The Afro-Eurasian World) The shift in cultures that it created helped somewhat integrate regions and create stronger trading ties. An example of this would be The Silk Route, which connected Asia and the Mediterranean regions through trade. These trade routes showed that through philosophy and the shared ideas that came with it, new cultures could form. (Shrinking The Afro-Eurasian World)
Philosophy played a huge part in the advancement of a new, naturalistic point of view. It opened the door for questions of why things were the way they were. Natural philosophy provided a mean of explaining "what is less well known by what is better known." (Shields) The ideas put in place by Greek natural philosophy can still be seen in todays day and age. Pythagoras, a mathematician, is a prime example. He was one of the first people to challenge the belief that the earth was flat. An obvious example of his work is the pythagorean theorem, which gives the formula of how to find the length of the sides on a right triangle. It is also believed that the method of deductive reasoning, which can be applied in many subjects, may have been founded by Pythagoras. (Shields)
