One thing that drives dementia caregivers crazy is repetitive questions and repetitive behavior.
I know this from the number of emails I receive on this issue, and the number of comments we get on the issue.
It is clear to me that a large fraction of patients living with dementia ask the same things over and over, and do the same thing over and over.
I understand how disconcerting this can be -- I was there once upon a time.
It took me a long time to understand this repetitive behavior and adjust to it. I am looking at my da Vinci pad and some of my bunkhouse notes right now.
One question I asked myself, why am I allowing this behavior to drive me nuts?

This contemporary look at influential California photographer Imogen Cunningham, known for her botanical studies, nudes and work for 'Vanity Fair' magazine, aims to diversify perceptions and stimulate new interpretations of her work. With a selection of 200 photographs, a mere glimpse at the scope of Cunningham's production, this monographic research project demonstrates her intimate understanding of the photographic medium, as well as how travel and moving played a key role in her life and work. Through her perpetual experimentation, the photographs have emerged as instrumental in shaping the modernist artistic legacy of successive generations.

Kallista Survey Identifies Stylists' Hand Care Challenges
Chapping, redness, dryness, sensitivity and a tight skin feeling—sound like your hands? Those are the top five signs of irritated hands identified by stylists who participated in a study conducted by Kallista, the first company fully dedicated to the needs of salon professionals. The study further found that, globally, four out of five hairdressers experience work-related skin irritations on their hands. As a salon pro, you make a lot of demands on your poor hands, and you need them to be in perfect shape to work your magic!
Founded upon a mission "to look after those who make others look more beautiful," Kallista is introducing two initial products for January 2014 that address the specific needs of professionals whose hands work with water and chemicals and endure high heat and occasional cuts. The formulas are inspired by age-old folk medicines combined with the latest science of nourishing the skin.
Kallista Daily Hand Care for Normal to Dry Hands, designed for everyday hand care, is formulated to absorb quickly, protect hands during repeated water exposure and rebalance hands to leave them moisturized, revitalized, non-greasy, supple and soft.
Kallista Intensive Hand Care for Very Dry Hands in Need of Extra Nourishing offers a rich emollient formula to immediately comfort dry, dehydrated and overworked hands. The formula deeply nourishes to provide long-lasting moisturization and leave hands looking radiant, smooth and youthful.
"Kallista's ultimate goal is to make sure each of our products for professionals is developed through understanding and innovation, resulting in exceptional products for exceptional people," says George Frantzis, cofounder and managing director. The brand's other cofounder, Linda Gillette Parodi, is director of sales and education.
As part of the study, working salon professionals used and reviewed the two new products.
"I would highly recommend this cream to anyone in the industry who experiences dryness and irritation due to exposure to chemicals, shampooing and blow-drying," concluded Chicago stylist Amy A. of Maxine Salon. "It keeps my hands moisturized, protected and healthy before, during and after my day at a busy salon."
Colton L., with Salon Visage in Knoxville, TN, liked the long-lasting effects. "I really feel like it stayed on my hands more than any other lotion or cream I've used," he noted. "I felt like it penetrated the surface, which made it last through multiple shampoos. It lasted through three clients before I had to reapply."

The Democrats' 2020 presidential field is shaping up to be real political clown car. So far, we've seen speculation swirling around Creepy Uncle Joe, Deval Patrick, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Fauxcahontas, Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, Ex-Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, Eric Holder, and Bill Kristol.
Advertisement - story continues below
OK, fine, I admit it. I like to kid GOP-shapeshifter Bill Kristol.
Among the rest of those names, the only actual threat (and the term 'threat' is being used generously) is Joe Biden. For a variety of reasons, everyone else on that list is going to be a non-starter for most of middle-America. That, along with President Trump's economic approval rating, is great news for the country. So far, the Dems have failed to produce a single potential candidate capable of grabbing any real traction.
TRENDING: Awesome: McConnell schedules Senate floor vote on AOC's bonkers 'Green New Deal'
That means that the race is wide open – and that means that the hucksters, shysters, and shills see an opportunity. Enter Al Sharpton.
Advertisement - story continues below
Rev. Al Sharpton said he isn't ruling out a run for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, just two days after some of his most pointed public critiques of President Donald Trump.
"I never rule anything out," said Sharpton, adding that he isn't currently exploring a run for the nomination.
Sharpton's feeling about where the Democratic Party is in relation to Trump is no secret. This year, on a recent visit to the United Kingdom, Sharpton told the Guardian Trump would likely Keep America Great because Democrats are "too tame to deal with an untamed opponent." And he's run before, citing among other things, a need to insert his voice at a time where the party had seemed insincere about its declared direction.
If you read between the lines, Buzzfeed is basically admitting that a Sharpton candidacy wouldn't be a "real thing." It would be a stunt campaign designed to pull the party further left and, of course, promote the Al Sharpton brand. I'm not sure what that brand is these days, but apparently it exists.
If you're thinking, "that Buzzfeed report seems pretty thin." Well, you're right. I won't argue with that. I will say that this isn't the first I've personally heard of it. Clearly, nothing is set in stone, but I've heard this off-the-record rumor before – and it's come from people I trust. I always wrote it off as a joke, but if the media is picking up on it, maybe there's something to it. It's not hard to imagine a scenario where a guy like Al Sharpton wants to relive the glory of the debate stage – even if it is a shameless act of self-promotion.
We should all hope it happens.
The more left-wing crackpots we can put in the public eye, the better. "Resist we much!"

Spring is a short season in East Texas. For us, it went from snow and 28°F at night and 40°F in the day to 58°F and 80°F respectively in a matter of two days. That lovely in between place is fleeting in the best of years. Soon, we'll be planning trips to the lake, picnics, and trips to the movies as entertainment to stay cool. But Spring is always an inspirational time. And for me, it was a time of fresh starts.
The cleaning frenzy began about this time last week. I decided that it was time to get a bed and make my own private little sanctuary out of this room back here. So, it was a few days of downsizing, decluttering, and making some decorating decisions. I won't post pictures until it is all completely finished. I need to find curtains, finish the wall art, find a rug, a new desk chair. Ideally I would have a desk as well but we'll see if I can find one I like that's affordable.
I am happy with the fact that Pip and I can shut the door at night. We can regulate our own temperature in here. Windows open and fan going for now. It is definitely easier to get into the writing mode with things being more organized as well. It has also inspired me to get on with the healthy living changes I've been making. Hopefully I'll be able to get my stationary bike from storage while Dad is off work. Then I can really get back to building stamina. And yes, I am excited about that because I remember how much better I felt when I was going to the gym.
Work continues though. Right now, I need to get off the computer and get my buttinski on the road to head to the office. Lovely day job creates a scheduling hazard that my creative mind both loves and loathes. But, I do enjoy going to work. So that's something. Next post will be book-related news. So I hope you're ready for some awesomeness about Armageddon Rising.

Mars in history:
Mars was regarded as a malevolent agent of war, pestilence and apocalyptic disaster. Often in an attempt to calm down the planet-god, various ancient cultures offered it human sacrifices. This concept of a evil god was found in the New World as well as the Old one.
In Babylonian civilization Mars was identified as the god of war Nergal. Deity of the desert, god of fire, god of war, which is one of negative aspects of the sun, god of the underworld, and also being a god of one of the religions which rivaled Christianity and Judaism, Nergal was sometimes called a demon and even being identified with Satan. According to Collin de Plancy and Johann Weyer, Nergal was said to be the chief of Hell's "secret police", and said to be "an honorary spy in the service of Beelzebub".
Greeks called this planet Ares their god of war. Ares was the great Olympian god of war, civil order and manly courage. In Greek art he was depicted as either a mature, bearded warrior dressed in battle arms, or a nude beardless youth with helm and spear.
In Mayan, Mars is depicted as a long nosed monster or animal, hanging from a band that stretch across the sky and sometimes Mars is depicted to be a regular human.
In recent history Mars was believed to be the home of green aliens which were forced to live inside artificial structures named "canals" and in present time Mars is the best candidate for alien life form, but this time microbiological life.
Mars has a meteorite collection on the surface whit the primarily composed of basalt. Some evidence suggets that a portion of Martian surface is more silica-rich than typical basalt and may be similar to Andesitic rocks from Earth, these observation explained by the presence of silica glass. Much of the surface is deeply covered in grained iron oxide dust (from which the red color comes).
Although Mars has no current structured global magnetic field, observations show that parts of the planet's crust have been magnetized and that alternating polarity reversals of its dipole field have occurred in the past. This paleomagnetism of minerals has properties very similar to the alternating bands found on the ocean floors on Earth. These bands also demonstrate that around four billion years ago on Mars where tectonic plates, before the planetary dynamo ceased to function and caused the planet's magnetic field to fade away.
In current models of the planet the interior has a core region about 1,480 km radius, consisting primarily of iron with about 14-17% sulfur. This iron sulfide core is partially fluid and has twice the concentration of the lighter elements than exist at Earth's core. The core is surrounded by a silicate mantle that formed many of tectonic and volcanic features on the planet, but now appears to be inactive. The planet crust has an average thickness of about 50 km, with a maximum thickness of 125 km. Earth's crust is averaging to 40 km and it is only one third as thick as Mars crust, relative to the size of the two planets.
In the formation of the Solar System Mars was created out of the protoplanetary disk that orbited the Sun as the result of a stochastic process of run-away accretion. Mars has a many distinctive chemical features caused by its position in the Solar System. Elements with low boiling points such as chlorine, phosphorus and sulphur are much more common on Mars than Earth.
After the formation of the planets about 60% of the surface of Mars shows an impact record from that era. Much of the rest of the surface of Mars is probably underlain by immense impact basins that date from this time and in norther hemisphere of Mars is a crater spanning 10,600 km by 8,500 km (about four times larger that the Moon's South Pole-Aitken basin), this suggests that Mars was struck by a Pluto sized body about four billion years ago. This event created the smooth Borealis basin that covers 40% of the planet.
In the geological history of Mars there are three main periods:
- Noachian period (named after Noachis Terra): Formation of the oldest extant surfaces of Mars, 4.5 billion years ago to 3.5 billion years ago. Noachian age surfaces are scarred by many large impact craters. The volcanic upland is thought to have formed during this period with extensive flooding by liquid water late in the period.
- Hesperian period (named after Hesperia Planum): 3.5 billion years ago to 2.9-3.3 billion years ago. This period is marked by the formation of extensive lava plains.
_ Amazonian period (named after Amazonis Planitia): 2.9 - 3.3 billion years ago to present. Amazonian regions have few meteorite impact craters, but are otherwise quite varied. Olumpus Mons formed during this period along with lava flows elsewhere on Mars.
Mars is still have some geological activity. The Athabasca Valles is to sheet-like lava flows. Water flows in the grabens called the Cerberus Fossae. On February 19. 2008 images from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showed evidence of an avalanche from a 700 m high cliff.

In partnership with our members, we thank audiences for coming to the movies – working with the actors, directors, cast, and crews to speak directly to audiences expressing our gratitude that they've come to see the movie. While AMC Theaters served as our launch partner in this effort, we have since expanded to hundreds of other theaters nationwide.
The idea, after all, is a simple one. It's already done in countless other industries – musicians, speakers, performers, and airlines all say thank you to the audiences and customers that support what they do. We want to do the same. We are thankful for our audiences. Without them, what we do wouldn't be possible.
On some movies, right before they start, you'll see a brief variation on the simple message: "By your patronage, you, the audience, contribute to creativity, your contribution matters, and we thank you for it." The spots can be humorous or dramatic, but they are genuine and heartfelt.
It's a simple Thank You emphasizing that where you watch matters and shows our industry's appreciation for audiences doing the right thing.

Paper Casting with your stamps
You will need bathroom tissue, a rubber/acrylic stamp (with a simple design), and a dry towel or paper towels. (Here are some examples of papercasts that I did.)
1. Tear off about 8-10 squares of bathroom tissue and stack them on top of each other. You can use more or less squares depending on how thick the tissue is and how puffy you want your image. Moisten the paper in the sink. You will want to get it pretty wet.
2. Lay the bathroom tissue stack on your stamp. Press image into stamp. Use your fingers to push paper into the details.
3. While the paper is wet, tear sides for uneven edges or use the side of the stamp to tear straight edges on your image.
4. Using a dry towel or paper towels, press onto image to soak up excess water. Try to get as much water out as you can.
5. Carefully remove image from stamp and let dry.
After the papercast is dry, you can color these with chalks, Glimmer Mist as I did here, or other mediums. You can use the entire papercast on your card or layout, or just cut a portion of it like on this card:

Hey Dani...love this, but one question---one ply or two ply? I'm thinking that might affect the number of sheets used for the technique...

The Season of Lent
Today begins our 40 day journey to Easter.
At our house, we're giving up soda and going out to eat.
I'm also giving up one of my biggest time killers, a game site called Kongregate.
As I posted on my Facebook page, I"m also giving up 'snarky' comments. That may be hardest of all!
A friend asked me for some resources for Lent, and when I get home from work, and to have a more religious, reflective blog for the next couple of months.

Biden: Post-WikiLeaks Diplomacy "Cumbersome"
Vice President Joe Biden said that WikiLeaks' release of classified or secret U.S. government documents has "done damage" and put the lives and jobs of people around the world in jeopardy.
In an interview recorded for broadcast on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday, Biden expressed his frustration with WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange:
"This guy has done things that have damaged and put in jeopardy the lives and occupations of people in other parts of the world. He's made it more difficult for us to conduct our business with our allies and our friends.
"For example, in my meetings - you know I meet with most of these world leaders - there is a desire now to meet with me alone, rather than have staff in the room.
"It makes these things more cumbersome," Biden told NBC's David Gregory, "and so it has done damage."

Just typical randomness - here goes outfit rundown!
Bonnet: Mrs Parker's Millinery & Mercantile
Top: selfmade
All else: offbrand/vintage
A look at the back and the hem at its fullest. In my opinion it still looks a bit too narrow for the silhouette, so next time I'll try some other skirt/dress for more poof. I do, however, like the colour combination of this one.

Salmos 69
1 Save me, O God, ¶ for the waters have come up to my neck.
2 I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold. ¶ I have come into the deep waters; ¶ the floods engulf me.
3 I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched. ¶ My eyes fail, ¶ looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; ¶ many are my enemies without cause, ¶ those who seek to destroy me. ¶ I am forced to restore ¶ what I did not steal.
5 You, God, know my folly; ¶ my guilt is not hidden from you.
6 Lord, the LORD Almighty, ¶ may those who hope in you ¶ not be disgraced because of me; ¶ God of Israel, ¶ may those who seek you ¶ not be put to shame because of me.
7 For I endure scorn for your sake, and shame covers my face.
8 I am a foreigner to my own family, a stranger to my own mother's children;
9 for zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.
10 When I weep and fast, I must endure scorn;
11 when I put on sackcloth, people make sport of me.
12 Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of the drunkards.
13 But I pray to you, LORD, ¶ in the time of your favor; ¶ in your great love, O God, ¶ answer me with your sure salvation.
14 Rescue me from the mire, do not let me sink; ¶ deliver me from those who hate me, ¶ from the deep waters.
15 Do not let the floodwaters engulf me or the depths swallow me up ¶ or the pit close its mouth over me.
16 Answer me, LORD, out of the goodness of your love; ¶ in your great mercy turn to me.
17 Do not hide your face from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.
18 Come near and rescue me; deliver me because of my foes.
19 You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed; ¶ all my enemies are before you.
20 Scorn has broken my heart and has left me helpless; ¶ I looked for sympathy, but there was none, ¶ for comforters, but I found none.
21 They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst.
22 May the table set before them become a snare; ¶ may it become retribution and [^1] a trap.
23 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.
24 Pour out your wrath on them; let your fierce anger overtake them.
25 May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of those you hurt.
27 Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation.
28 May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous.
29 But as for me, afflicted and in pain — ¶ may your salvation, God, protect me.
30 I will praise God's name in song ¶ and glorify him with thanksgiving.
31 This will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hooves.
32 The poor will see and be glad — you who seek God, may your hearts live!
33 The LORD hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.
34 Let heaven and earth praise him, ¶ the seas and all that move in them,
35 for God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah. ¶ Then people will settle there and possess it;
36 the children of his servants will inherit it, ¶ and those who love his name will dwell there.

The MYTH of the Judeo-Christian tradition insidiously obscures the real and significant differences between Judaism and Christianity.
- Professor Stephen M. Feldman
Theologically and historically, there is no such thing as the Judeo-Christian tradition. It's a secular MYTH favoured by people who are not really believers themselves.
- Jewsish Scolar Jacob Neusner
For scholars of American religion...the idea of a single Judeo-Christian tradition is a made-in-America MYTH that many of them no longer regard as valid.

(Clearwater, FL, USA)
My dream of zombies started with me sitting on a 4 steps of stairs with my four children, we were inside a gym.
Two men walked by and I knew they were up to something. I told my 22 year son that those two were up to something bad. The manager was walking by and my son got up and whispered that he had those two men inside the facility and they were planing something bad.
I then saw myself outside the gym and it was a big field around it. It was full of zombies, I looked to my right and there was a light skin woman next to me. I then lost my eyesight, went totally blind! The level of fear that I experience, by being blind and surround it with zombies was frighting.
I begged the lady to please guide me, she held my hand and she pulled me all over the place, like swerving. But she was holding and letting go of me frequently. Every-time she let go of my hand I felt hopeless and began throwing punches and kicking at the air to protect myself from a zombie attack.
Then I regained my eyesight and I saw a tall, dark haired, man leading a large group of people. The way there were walking was forming some sort of triangle. They began to throw metal cylinders into the air, and as they fell down they were hitting everyone. I saw hundreds and hundreds of metal cylinders falling, like rain drops. It was hitting the zombies, they came my way, but I never got hit.
With this they were able to clear up the entrance of the gym and they began to enter the facility. I stood there, the gym was towards my left side, and there was a long trail to my right, and I saw some sort of soccer field. There were people walking towards that trail. So I was standing with the option to enter the gym, which was a safe place from the zombie attack.
But I stared to my right sight with so much sorrow, thinking that those people walking on the opposite side (my right side) did not had the opportunity to know that there was a safe place to go to. Among the many people walking towards the wrong side, were the two men I saw at the beginning of the dream. I felt heartbroken that they did not had the opportunity to save themselves just because they did not know there was a better option.
I think this is a very spiritual dream, but there is much I don't understand. My dreams are always very deep and always carry a message. Please, if you can, guide me to a better understanding.
Thank you very much.

With the upcoming release of BlackBerry Q10, there's never been a better time to bring over your BlackBerry Z10 game and start monetizing on the new form factor. In this post, I will be talking about various porting considerations and best practices to help you get started and ensure that your game runs the best on Q10.
Let's start off with the hardware differences:
The BlackBerry Q10 uses the same chipset and GPU as BlackBerry Z10 variant B with Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 and Adreno 225. The main differences that you need to consider are aspect ratio, screen size, orientation and physical keyboard.
Aspect Ratio
If you have designed your game around the 16:9 or 15:9 aspect ratio, you will need to evaluate how to layout your game content to adapt to the 1:1 aspect ratio. There are various approaches you can take to accomplish this. You might be tempted to take the easy approach of simply scaling your game screen to 1:1 aspect ratio by using letter boxing. This approach is not recommend as it could negatively impact user experience of your game. Since The BlackBerry Q10 has a smaller screen compared to the BlackBerry Z10, you will significantly reduce the game interaction area and waste precious screen space that could otherwise be utilized for game content such as HUD or controls. For a landscape game, one approach you could take to solve this is to use a comprise aspect ratio such as 16:11. For the BlackBerry Z10, display more content on the sides and for the BlackBerry Q10 display more content at the top and bottom.
Similarly for a portrait game (9:15 or 9:16), you can display more content at top and bottom on the BlackBerry Z10 and more content at the sides on the BlackBerry Q10. In the below example, Bejeweled 2 displays the time progress bar at the bottom on the BlackBerry Z10 and on the side on the BlackBerry Q10.
If you are using any aspect ratio specific static assets such as backgrounds, images and splash screen, they will need to be scaled accordingly. For the standard splash screen, the BlackBerry Native SDK allows you to manage multiple device specific splash screens in the same bar-descriptor. For the BlackBerry Q10 you can add a 720×720 splash screen by editing the bar-descriptor using the IDE or a text editor. Here's an example:
<splashScreens> <image>splash_1280_768.png</image> <image>splash_720_720.png</image> </splashScreens> <asset path="assets">assets</asset> <asset path="icon.png">icon.png</asset> <asset path="/Users/pratiksapra/assets/splash_1280_768.png">splash_1280_768.png</asset> <asset path="/Users/pratiksapra/assets/splash_720_720.png">splash_720_720.png</asset>
Once you do this, correct splash screen will be automatically chosen depending on the device your game is launched on.
Next, if your game uses overlay controls such as virtual joysticks, UI elements and menus, you will need to reposition them as needed. The best approach is to lay them out relative to screen width and height thus making them aspect ratio independent. Below is an example of a flexible UI layout used in Bard's Tale that works on both aspect ratios.
Screen Size
The BlackBerry Q10 features a 3.1" screen surrounded by a gesture sensitive bezel. If your game uses on-screen controls, it's important to place them away from the bottom edge of the screen to prevent accidental swipes. An accidental swipe-up gesture during game play will thumbnail your game and cause unnecessary interruption for the user.
Optimizing your game controls is also really important. For example, If your game uses dual virtual joystick control scheme, I would recommend reducing this to just one on-screen joystick. Due to smaller screen size, the user might end up covering most of the screen when controlling both joysticks using two fingers. We will talk about a solution to this in the later part of this post.
The BlackBerry Z10 supports portrait as the default orientation. If you are setting the orientation in the bar-descriptor for your game, you might be wondering whether this would work on the BlackBerry Q10 without the overhead of creating a separate binary with a different bar-descriptor. To make your life easy, we have made sure that both portrait and landscape orientation settings map to portrait orientation on the BlackBerry Q10. The below example shows how your game would be oriented on the BlackBerry Z10 and the BlackBerry Q10 based on the bar-descriptor orientation setting.
The BlackBerry Q10 features a physical keyboard so your game needs to be aware of this. If your game contains any buttons to activate the virtual keyboard, you should make sure they are removed or disabled when the game is running on the BlackBerry Q10. Unlike the virtual keyboard, the physical keyboard is always there and can be utilized as an input mechanism. You can combine keyboard input with touch screen to offer an intuitive and robust input scheme for your game. For example if you want to optimize the dual virtual joystick input mechanism for the BlackBerry Q10, you can substitute one of the joysticks with keyboard input. Or if your game only requires gamepad style input you can use the keyboard as a gamepad.
Integrating keyboard input in your game is super easy. To accomplish this, in your main event loop simply handle the SCREEN_EVENT_KEYBOARD event and check for the keydown value. Here's a code snippet on how to do this:
if (screen_get_domain() == domain) { screen_event_t screen_event = screen_event_get_event(event); int screen_val; screen_get_event_property_iv(screen_event, SCREEN_PROPERTY_TYPE, &screen_val); switch (screen_val) { case SCREEN_EVENT_MTOUCH_TOUCH: //handle touch events case SCREEN_EVENT_KEYBOARD: screen_get_event_property_iv(screen_event, SCREEN_PROPERTY_KEY_FLAGS, &screen_val); if (screen_val & KEY_DOWN) { screen_get_event_property_iv(screen_event, SCREEN_PROPERTY_KEY_SYM,&screen_val); fprintf(stderr, "The '%c' key was pressed\n", (char)screen_val); switch (screen_val) { case KEYCODE_W: // DPAD Up break; case KEYCODE_A: // DPAD Left break; case KEYCODE_S: case KEYCODE_Z: // DPAD Down break; case KEYCODE_D: // DPAD Right break; case KEYCODE_L: // Button A break; case KEYCODE_BACKSPACE: // Button B break; case KEYCODE_O: // Button X break; case KEYCODE_P: // Button Y break; default: break; } } break; }
Tools & Deployment
To get started, you will need the latest BlackBerry Native SDK 10.1, which includes BlackBerry Q10 support. If you are running an older version please upgrade by visiting http://developer.blackberry.com/native.
To deploy your game on BlackBerry World, follow the regular process for creating a new release in the Vendor Portal. In the supported devices screen, make sure you select BlackBerry Q10.
Known Issues
There are two known issues with earlier versions of 10.1 device software that you need to be aware of.
- Audio – In-game audio playback results in complete loss of device audio and a reboot is required to restore audio.
- Orientation – If the orientation is set to landscape in the bar-descriptor, the app splash screen and system dialogs such as volume are incorrectly oriented.
Both of these issues have been fixed in the latest 10.1 device software posted at the below link so if you are running an older build please upgrade.
I hope you found the information included in this post useful. If you have any questions or feedback please leave a comment below or reach out to me directly on Twitter @pratiksapra.

Chapter V
The Cloven Tree
Secrets are rarely betrayed or discovered according to any programme our fear has sketched out. Fear is almost always haunted by terrible dramatic scenes, which recur in spite of the best-argued probabilities against them; and during a year that Maggie had had the burthen of concealment on her mind, the possibility of discovery had continually presented itself under the form of a sudden meeting with her father or Tom when she was walking with Philip in the Red Deeps. She was aware that this was not one of the most likely events; but it was the scene that most completely symbolized her inward dread. Those slight indirect suggestions which are dependent on apparently trivial coincidences and incalculable states of mind, are the favorite machinery of Fact, but are not the stuff in which Imagination is apt to work.
Certainly one of the persons about whom Maggie's fears were furthest from troubling themselves was her aunt Pullet, on whom, seeing that she did not live in St. Ogg's, and was neither sharp-eyed nor sharp-tempered, it would surely have been quite whimsical of them to fix rather than on aunt Glegg. And yet the channel of fatality — the pathway of the lightning — was no other than aunt Pullet. She did not live at St. Ogg's, but the road from Garum Firs lay by the Red Deeps, at the end opposite that by which Maggie entered.
The day after Maggie's last meeting with Philip, being a Sunday on which Mr. Pullet was bound to appear in funeral hatband and scarf at St. Ogg's church, Mrs. Pullet made this the occasion of dining with sister Glegg, and taking tea with poor sister Tulliver. Sunday was the one day in the week on which Tom was at home in the afternoon; and today the brighter spirits he had been in of late had flowed over in unusually cheerful open chat with his father, and in the invitation, "Come, Magsie, you come too!" when he strolled out with his mother in the garden to see the advancing cherry-blossoms. He had been better pleased with Maggie since she had been less odd and ascetic; he was even getting rather proud of her; several persons had remarked in his hearing that his sister was a very fine girl. To-day there was a peculiar brightness in her face, due in reality to an undercurrent of excitement, which had as much doubt and pain as pleasure in it; but it might pass for a sign of happiness.
"You look very well, my dear," said aunt Pullet, shaking her head sadly, as they sat round the tea-table. "I niver thought your girl 'ud be so good-looking, Bessy. But you must wear pink, my dear; that blue thing as your aunt Glegg gave you turns you into a crowflower. Jane never was tasty. Why don't you wear that gown o' mine?"
"It is so pretty and so smart, aunt. I think it's too showy for me, — at least for my other clothes, that I must wear with it.
"To be sure, it 'ud be unbecoming if it wasn't well known you've got them belonging to you as can afford to give you such things when they've done with 'em themselves. It stands to reason I must give my own niece clothes now and then, — such things as I buy every year, and never wear anything out. And as for Lucy, there's no giving to her, for she's got everything o' the choicest; sister Deane may well hold her head up, — though she looks dreadful yallow, poor thing — I doubt this liver complaint 'ull carry her off. That's what this new vicar, this Dr. Kenn, said in the funeral sermon to-day."
"Ah, he's a wonderful preacher, by all account, — isn't he, Sophy?" said Mrs. Tulliver.
"Why, Lucy had got a collar on this blessed day," continued Mrs. Pullet, with her eyes fixed in a ruminating manner, "as I don't say I haven't got as good, but I must look out my best to match it."
"Miss Lucy's called the bell o' St. Ogg's, they say; that's a cur'ous word," observed Mr. Pullet, on whom the mysteries of etymology sometimes fell with an oppressive weight.
"Pooh!" said Mr. Tulliver, jealous for Maggie, "she's a small thing, not much of a figure. But fine feathers make fine birds. I see nothing to admire so much in those diminutive women; they look silly by the side o' the men, — out o' proportion. When I chose my wife, I chose her the right size, — neither too little nor too big."
The poor wife, with her withered beauty, smiled complacently.
"But the men aren't all big," said uncle Pullet, not without some self-reference; "a young fellow may be good-looking and yet not be a six-foot, like Master Tom here.
"Ah, it's poor talking about littleness and bigness, — anybody may think it's a mercy they're straight," said aunt Pullet. "There's that mismade son o' Lawyer Wakem's, I saw him at church to-day. Dear, dear! to think o' the property he's like to have; and they say he's very queer and lonely, doesn't like much company. I shouldn't wonder if he goes out of his mind; for we never come along the road but he's a-scrambling out o' the trees and brambles at the Red Deeps."
This wide statement, by which Mrs. Pullet represented the fact that she had twice seen Philip at the spot indicated, produced an effect on Maggie which was all the stronger because Tom sate opposite her, and she was intensely anxious to look indifferent. At Philip's name she had blushed, and the blush deepened every instant from consciousness, until the mention of the Red Deeps made her feel as if the whole secret were betrayed, and she dared not even hold her tea-spoon lest she should show how she trembled. She sat with her hands clasped under the table, not daring to look round. Happily, her father was seated on the same side with herself, beyond her uncle Pullet, and could not see her face without stooping forward. Her mother's voice brought the first relief, turning the conversation; for Mrs. Tulliver was always alarmed when the name of Wakem was mentioned in her husband's presence. Gradually Maggie recovered composure enough to look up; her eyes met Tom's, but he turned away his head immediately; and she went to bed that night wondering if he had gathered any suspicion from her confusion. Perhaps not; perhaps he would think it was only her alarm at her aunt's mention of Wakem before her father; that was the interpretation her mother had put in it. To her father, Wakem was like a disfiguring disease, of which he was obliged to endure the consciousness, but was exasperated to have the existence recognized by others; and no amount of sensitiveness in her about her father could be surprising, Maggie thought.
But Tom was too keen-sighted to rest satisfied with such an interpretation; he had seen clearly enough that there was something distinct from anxiety about her father in Maggie's excessive confusion. In trying to recall all the details that could give shape to his suspicions, he remembered only lately hearing his mother scold Maggie for walking in the Red Deeps when the ground was wet, and bringing home shoes clogged with red soil; still Tom, retaining all his old repulsion for Philip's deformity, shrank from attributing to his sister the probability of feeling more than a friendly interest in such an unfortunate exception to the common run of men. Tom's was a nature which had a sort of superstitious repugnance to everything exceptional. A love for a deformed man would be odious in any woman, in a sister intolerable. But if she had been carrying on any kind of intercourse whatever with Philip, a stop must be put to it at once; she was disobeying her father's strongest feelings and her brother's express commands, besides compromising herself by secret meetings. He left home the next morning in that watchful state of mind which turns the most ordinary course of things into pregnant coincidences.
That afternoon, about half-past three o'clock, Tom was standing on the wharf, talking with Bob Jakin about the probability of the good ship Adelaide coming in, in a day or two, with results highly important to both of them.

'Yesterday my dream died', says axed Ranieri
Claudio Ranieri said on Friday he had dreamt of staying at Leicester City "for always" before being ruthlessly sacked as manager of the troubled champions.
Ranieri was stunningly dismissed by Leicester's Thai owners on Thursday, less than a year after guiding the 5,000-1 outsiders to the Premier League title.
Leicester are languishing one point above the relegation zone with 13 games remaining amid reports of player unrest at Ranieri's tactical tinkering.
But Ranieri's sacking triggered an outpouring of support for the Italian from his fellow managers and he admitted the decision was a brutal blow.
"Yesterday my dream died," Ranieri said.
"After the euphoria of last season and being crowned Premier League champions all I dreamt of was staying with Leicester City, the club I love, for always. Sadly this was not to be."
Ranieri thanked his wife Rosanna, his family and his agents, Steve Kutner and Franco Granello, for "bringing me the opportunity to become a champion".
The former Chelsea boss also added his appreciation for backroom staff members Paolo Benetti and Andrea Azzalin, who departed with him, but he declined to mention Craig Shakespeare, the assistant who was rumoured to have fallen out with him in recent weeks.
Ranieri, who arrived at the King Power Stadium in 2015, will go down as the most important figure in Leicester's previously unheralded history and he paid tribute to everyone who accompanied him on the club's incredible rags to riches rise.
"Mostly I have to thank Leicester City Football Club. The adventure was amazing and will live with me forever," Ranieri added.
"Thank you to all the journalists and the media who came with us and enjoyed reporting on the greatest story in football.
"My heartfelt thanks to everybody at the club, all the players, the staff, everybody who was there and was part of what we achieved. But mostly to the supporters. You took me into your hearts from day one and loved me.
"I love you too. No one can ever take away what we together have achieved, and I hope you think about it and smile every day the way I always will.
"It was a time of wonderfulness and happiness that I will never forget. It's been a pleasure and an honour to be a champion with all of you."

Bullock, a Northern High School graduate who had a successful college basketball career at Cleveland State, is suiting up these days for the Flint Fury semi-pro football team.
"Everybody always told me that football was going to be my gateway," said Bullock. "But I never really took football serious, period, so I really don't know my full potential in that sport.
"I've been going hard with basketball since middle school."
In part, Bullock is playing for Fury to help him stay in shape for basketball.
He hopes to play professional basketball overseas next season.
In his first game last week against the Detroit Redd Doggs, Bullock rushed for a touchdown and helped the Fury win 43-0.
And the 6-5, 240 pound athlete has impressed the Fury with his workhorse mentality.
"He's real powerful and a big guy (and) he's hard to take down," said Charles Lawler, the Fury's head coach. "I kind of feel like they're intimidated to tackle him almost."
"He's a good piece of talent and he's a real physical specimen," said Demarkis Smith, Bullock's teammate and longtime friend.
Smith is the one who convinced Bullock to join the Fury.
When Bullock was looking for a way to keep his conditioning intact, Smith brought the Fury to his attention.
The duo hadn't suited up for the same team since their senior year at Northern.
"It was good just being on the sideline talking to him," said Smith, who is in his second year with the Fury at safety. "It kind of brought back some memories."
Bullock played four years of football and basketball at Northern. He averaged 20.6 points and 13.0 rebounds per game in his senior season. Bullock was named the 2005 Saginaw Valley Player of the Year and was a first team All-City selection in basketball, but also was honorable mention all-state in football.
After his four-year stint with the Vikings, Bullock was regarded as one of the best players in program history.
He still holds records for career starts (124) and is the only Cleveland State player to score more than 1,500 points and grab over 750 boards in his career.
But it was the National Football League which came calling after college.
In 2009, the New York Jets signed Bullock as an undrafted free agent and invited him to their training camp — although he never played a lick of football in college — but waived him before the season began.
"At the time I had family issues and we had agreed to part ways but I just never went back because I had an unclosed chapter," Bullock said.
Bullock went directly back to something he was familiar with when that situation didn't work out.
He traveled overseas to play pro basketball in Australia with the Geelong Supercats and later suited up with the Optima Gent in Belguim before suffering a leg injury which he said was the result of overworking his body without the proper recovery.
Even with all the awards and honors that Bullock has attained throughout his career, the 23-year-old is still on a mission.
The same fire that burned within him growing up on Kermit Street in Flint still pushes him to excel to this day.
"I'm not really worried (because) I believe I will be playing (basketball) next year," Bullock stated. "I don't have any satisfaction right now because I'm not at the level that I want to be at.
"I'm not finished."

The explosion of connectivity, online applications and new services has driven the average business to increase its server capacity by six times and storage by 69 times over the last 10 years. The increased demand to keep up with growth and manage rising energy costs, as well as increased concern for the environment, places significant pressure on aging data center infrastructures. Many companies are under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint. While "going green" and growing business appear to be diametrically opposed goals, IBM has pioneered technologies that demonstrate how green IT can actually provide a much more efficient and competitive infrastructure to support emerging business requirements.
IBM's resident green IT expert, Steven Sams, spoke with eWEEK's Darryl K. Taft about Big Blue's efforts in this area. Sams is vice president of Site and Facilities Services at IBM. He is responsible for a worldwide organization that is dedicated to helping clients identify their requirements, current capabilities and best options for data centers. This includes building new facilities and optimizing, relocating or consolidating existing facilities. The Site and Facilities Services organization that Sams oversees includes 700 specialists in more than 40 countries that have built over 30 million square feet of customer raised floor.
Can you discuss some of the ways IBM has been promoting green IT and how IBM's Global Technology Services (GTS) is helping clients redesign data centers?
We've focused on designing data centers to be the most cost-effective solutions while providing flexibility to meet clients' unpredictable changes in IT demand-and to do it in a manner which is faster to deployment. In the past few years we've designed over 400 data centers around the world with a modular, "plug and play" approach, which has provided clients with 20 to 30 percent lower energy costs than traditional methods. The client response has been tremendous-according to recent industry surveys, over 80 percent of clients plan to adopt the plug-and-play approach, a drastic increase from a reported 11 percent only two years ago.
Would you explain the distinction between the "plug and play" approach that IBM provides in this space versus the traditional data center touted by other providers?
A traditional approach includes a large, monolithic data center build that is filled over time as capacity needs of the business increase. This approach was effective when technology power and cooling requirements remained relatively stable and business growth was predictable. IBM's modular, plug-and-play approach is more cost-effective and flexible by allowing clients to build in smaller increments, pay as they grow and add capacity when needed. Consequently, deferring as much as 40 to 50 percent of the capital and operating costs. Along with increased changes in technology rates and unpredictability in most businesses, our approach (a design with additional space for components such as UPS, chillers and cooling) allows the data center to be more flexible by adopting to change.
IBM's collaboration with the world's leading providers of data center physical infrastructure equipment has helped to bring out this vision of "plug and play" data centers to market. Can you discuss the role of this ecosystem?
We believe that increasingly efficient use of capital and operational costs cannot be driven by one company. Rather, the technologies should encompass the expertise from multiple companies. IBM is establishing a new leadership approach to data center design that helps to solve many of the past cost and flexibility challenges-allowing clients to plug in more cooling and power capacity as necessary. The mechanical and electrical equipment which runs the data center represents over 60 percent of the capital costs to build a new data center. IBM believes working collaboratively with the world's leading suppliers in power, cooling, monitoring and management and network cabling are critical to the adoption of a data center which can scale on-demand and significantly reduce capital and operating costs. Moreover, these partnerships allow us to go to market on a global scale with innovative solutions.

Since 1976, D.C. residents have lived under the nation`s most restrictive gun laws: Police enforce a handgun ban, and local statutes require residents to keep long guns disassembled, unloaded and locked up. The law even forbids target shooting. Those who envision the U.S. as a violent cowboy nation might take comfort in knowing that this regime offers more restrictions than the laws anywhere else in the U.S., in Canada, or indeed, in any major European Union nation.

As much as I love a good anime series, my heart really lies with manga. I figure it's just because I've always been more of a reader. The only downside to manga vs. anime is that manga books are so expensive :'( Anyway, here's my top 5 favorite!
Ranma 1/2 - This is the first series I read! At the time I didn't even know it was considered manga, or even what manga was - I just liked reading comic books! It's sort of a martial arts comedy, with a little fantasy thrown in. All the characters are so fun and wacky, it's hard to ever get bored of it. My favorite character is Ryoga. He has a terrible sense of direction (like me), and transforms into an adorable little pig :) I also like how you don't necessarily have to read the books in order, and they're all just little story arcs here and there.
Fruits Basket - This was the first series I read once I finally figured out that manga was a thing. A friend of mine already had the first 4 volumes, so I borrowed them from her and devoured them in a day. After that I read them religiously as they were released until the end of the series. Fruits Basket is a drama/comedy/fantasy that revolves around the story of the Chinese zodiac. I'm definitely Team Kyo <3 I also like the anime of this series, but not nearly as much. Everything is in a different order, I wasn't feeling the voice actors, and everything was just kinda wonky.
Nana - Even though I love it so much, I can't help getting sad whenever I think about Nana. In 2010 the author (or manga-ka if we want to be technical about it) got sick and stopped writing the series. Since the hiatus was unanticipated, the last chapter ended on SUCH a cliff hanger, and now I fear we'll never know what happens. She's reportedly said that she does plan to finish the series, but after almost five years and no real concrete news it's hard to stay positive. Anyway, I first read Nana in Shojo Beat magazine, which isn't a published magazine anymore, but was exactly like Shonen Jump with shojo manga instead. It was really great. The series is very dramatic and not normally the type of thing I read, but all the characters are so unique while still feeling very realistic which reeled me in. They all make stupid mistakes, but it's hard to hate them for it because it all just feels so human. Growing up is hard, and we all make mistakes sometimes!
Pita-Ten - This is a really short series (8 volumes) but manages to pack a lot of story into them. It's about a boy who befriends an angel named Misha and a demon named Shia...except he doesn't realize what they are right away. It's weird and cute. I got to see the author, Koge-Donbo, at Anime Expo one year. It was awesome!
Fullmetal Alchemist - Because obviously. I've already talked about this one a million times so I'll save you the trouble, hahah.
A few runner ups are Yotsuba&!, Hellsing, Girl Got Game, and One Piece! Maybe I'll write about those some other time. Do you have a favorite manga series?

I'm frequently asked by entrepreneurs and investors, what makes RPM different? Every Venture Capitalist has some canned answer to this question that generally falls into one of these five categories (from here on "The Five Things"):
- Our Brand, look at who we are and what we've invested in
- Our Relationships, look at who we know and what doors we can open for your company
- Our Work Ethic, we work as hard as you do for you (or, we're entrepreneurs too)
- Our Capital, our fund has the money it will take and with more in reserve
- Our Experience, we have an outstanding track record of success
Brand, Relationships, Work Ethic, Capital, and Experience. If you were to diligence us on any of the Five Things I think you'd walk away pleased. Covering the Five Things myself, though, I believe would be puffery. I'm fond of saying that when someone is investigating us, "the story is not about us, it is about our companies." I think the entrepreneurs we work with are better at telling our story than we are. They can give insight into each of the partners and their experience with us with respect to the Five Things.
So how different are firms based on the Five Things? If you look at even just a small set of firms, on the surface it would be pretty difficult to really differentiate if you are getting the answer from the VCs themselves. The answers are canned, and start to all sound the same. So what can make a firm different? It's the partners. Every entrepreneur has heard this, and we always tell it to our CEOs when they are going to raise capital, "it is not the firm. It is the partner." So if we all agree that this makes sense (and I hope we do), and if understanding the Five Things can be determined through diligence, then what is it that makes the firm and its partners different?
I think that is determined by asking the "Real Question." The Real Question is tougher to diligence and the thoughtfulness of the response alone tells you a lot about what makes the firm and its partners different. It can be asked in a lot of different ways, but it comes down to this: core principles. It might be something like: What are your core values and principles that make you who you are? Do you live by a code? What do you stand for?
Whether it is investing in a fund or raising capital from a fund, the reality is you are about to get married in some ways, and don't you really want to know what makes that person tick? If you have your back up against the wall for example, a VCs contacts, experience, capital, etc.. are the weapons they have at their disposal. However, what you really want to know is whether that person will be right there with you and in what form. That you can only find out by asking the Real Question and getting a sense of who that person is before you ever get to that point.
If someone can answer this, and more importantly if their behavior is consistent with their answer, it will give you far better insight into who you might actually be working with and what they would be like as a long-term partner versus just hearing and answer to one of The Five Things. Over the next several posts I'm going to dig into this in more depth. I hope that this discussion causes a few things: 1) For everyone to ask themselves the Real Question. 2) For entrepreneurs raising money to ask the Real Question of investors. 3) To give entrepreneurs and investors talking to RPM our answer to the Real Question.
I ask myself, why do I need to answer a question about why RPM is different? Why do I need to answer to the "Real Question?" More importantly, why do I need to answer it publicly? Frankly, who asked? Who cares? While I can justify this by saying, "Entrepreneurs ask, or should ask," a truer answer is as a firm we need to answer it for ourselves. Asking the question of ourselves forces us to do some self-reflection, and keeps us honest with ourselves about how we are moving through both work and life.
So what makes RPM different? Until now we always focused externally on discussing how we were different based on the The Five Things (from prior post: Brand, Relationships, Work Ethic, Capital, and Experience), because everyone else did. In fact, I think our answers based on The Five Things, are really good answers. Let me give you some examples (and this list could have been a lot longer):
- "We're entrepreneurs; we won't invest in a company unless we'd work there ourselves"
- "If we can't add value, it means we shouldn't invest."
- "We don't choose entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs choose us, and we don't forget that."
- "The top priority in our firm is the CEOs of our portfolio companies. We'll drop everything for them, that is the responsibility that we take on when we invest."
- "Early Stage DNA is at the core of our RPM's culture. We love working with entrepreneurs who are just starting up, because they have the same DNA."
- "We grew up in this industry in Silicon Valley, and our networks there may even be stronger than even here in the Great Lakes."
- "We don't compete with the big firms, we are partners to them. That is why so many of our deals get follow on financing from brand names, and why so many of our deals come to us from those firms."
I have no doubt that every single one of the CEOs of our portfolio companies would attest to these. The reason I have no doubt, is the answers are authentic, and rules we truly live by. Our DNA hasn't changed, we are early stage entrepreneurs. Tony and I did start our own companies prior to becoming VCs. RPM itself is a startup, just a different kind of startup. Everyone in our firm has that DNA and always will. Even our analyst (@melemmer) started her own business at 15 (Iorio's Italian Ice).
However, these answers still don't answer the "Real Question" about what our core values are. To answer this, as I described in the prior post, it isn't a question about the firm but about the partners. One of the things I think all entrepreneurs should do is answer this question before starting their company. It aligns the team and sets the tone for the culture from the beginning. Practicing what I preach, my partner Tony Grover and I spent a long time discussing this as we were starting RPM. While sitting next to the Huron River in Nicholas Arboretum (which feeds into Lake Erie) over 10 years ago we discovered the answer. I say discovered, because it always existed vs. being invented. We just never tried to answer it together. The answer was one we felt we could build our lives and our firm around over the next 25 years, and have stayed true to it since. It is at the core of our actions and is a true reflection of who we are as a firm. The answer is based on four pillars:
- A Duty to Our Family
- A Duty to Our Business
- A Duty to Our Community
- A Civic Duty
I'll tackle each of these individually over time, and in doing so will try to balance our "philosophy" with real actions that reflect this. For now though, I want to conclude by making an observation that is the heart of all four pillars. There is one universal term in each of these, Duty. Why Duty? I think thedefinition from Wikipedia covers it nicely.
"Duty is a term that conveys a sense of moral commitment to someone or something. The moral commitment is the sort that results in action and it is not a matter of passive feeling or mere recognition. When someone recognizes a duty, that person commits himself/herself to the cause involved without considering the self-interested courses of actions that may have been relevant previously. This is not to suggest that living a life of duty precludes one of the best sorts of lives but duty does involve some sacrifice of immediate self-interest."

The first three blogs I'll bring here were my first publications at Seeking Alpha. This was published April 10th, 2008.
about stocks: ALKS / GNBT / MNKD / NKTR / PFE
Insulin was discovered in Toronto in 1921 and arrived on the market in 1922. Since that time there have been episodic attempts to escape the inevitability of injection.
The race for developing a successful needle-less insulin delivery system has taken some recent nasty turns as the inhalable efforts of large pharma companies have all come to an end. The latest news that Pfizer (PFE) is adding a new warning label to Exubera regarding instances of lung cancer in clinical trials may prove to be the final nail in the coffin for hopes of any inhalable insulin winning the hearts and minds of needle suffering diabetics.
The news caused a devastating effect on shares of Mannkind (MNKD) as analysts cried "SELL" and investors obeyed the call. In essence, it appears Mannkind's "Technosphere Inhalable Insulin" somehow was seen as failing a Pfizer/ Nektar (NKTR) "Exubera" Phase III trial. Call it "guilt by association", or even call it unfair, but it will be impossible for Mannkind to win those hearts and minds of diabetics when they are afraid of serious damage to their lungs.
And with the FDA issuing a hardened approach towards approving diabetes drugs that may present any adverse health effect, consider the odds of Technosphere ever gaining FDA approval to now be seriously in doubt. However, diabetics' hopes for freedom from needles may not be over.
Generex Biotechnology (GNBT) is developing a needle-less insulin delivery system that does not enter the lungs and is delivered to the inner cheek wall as a metered dose buccal insulin spray. Ironically, this small microcap biotech, incorporated in Delaware, originally partnered early in the decade with Eli Lilly (LLY) for development of Oral-lyn buccal insulin spray. But Eli Lilly was already financially committed to a developmental agreement with Alkermes (ALKS) for the development of their Air Inhalable Insulin. In two years of nothing, Lilly never conducted a single trial for Oral-lyn buccal spray.
The biotech rumor mills were running rampant that Eli Lilly simply stalled Generex's development of Oral-lyn Buccal. In 2003, Generex and Lilly mutually agreed to end the agreement and Lilly left tiny Generex for dead. But Generex did not die. The management team, led by founders CEO Anna Gluskin and COO Rose Perri, hung strong and continued Oral-lyn buccal spray's development with a new found independent spirit and successfully raised enough financing to survive.
Oral-lyn buccal spray was back in the clinic in 2004 and 2005 and, as Generex fought its way back from potential bankruptcy, positive results for safety and efficacy began to filter through. In 2005, Oral-lyn buccal spray was approved for commercial marketing and sales in Ecuador, which was the location of many of the Phase I and Phase II clinical trials. In the latest Phase II trial for Oral-lyn buccal spray, the investigators concluded that Oral-lyn illustrated a "superior effect" vs. Eli Lilly's HumalinR as measured by the patients A1C levels (6.1) after 99 days.
In 2006, Generex completed a positive Pre-NDS with Health Canada. In November of 2007, Oral-lyn buccal spray was approved for marketing and sale in India- which is home to 1/3 of the world's diabetics. In April 2008, Generex announced the initiation of the North American sites (USA and Canada) for their worldwide Phase III trial of Oral-lyn buccal spray in Type 1 patients. The company has announced that this six month study will be modeled after the Phase II study where "superior effect" was illustrated, and that all of the major regulatory bodies, including Health Canada and the FDA, have approved the Phase III study protocol. Generex is hoping for Canadian approval of Oral-lyn buccal spray within 18 months and shortly after in the USA.
Can this small biotech accomplish what large pharma could not? Perhaps the difference is in the Oral-lyn formulation and device, termed Rapidmist, which is a small handheld metered spray whose doses measure exactly 1 unit. The onset of action is quicker than what was reported for Exubera. Also, Oral-lyn requires no refrigeration. That is another positive unique feature, for a diabetic can simply keep the small spray device (the size of an asthma inhaler) in their front pants pocket or purse and spray doses as needed before and after a meal or snack.
I guess since Generex's market cap is below $200,000,000, large investors have yet to pay attention. However, if sales of Oral-lyn in India, home to 40 million diabetics, are healthy, then Generex will certainly be a biotech that jumps to the spotlight. After all, safety and efficacy must be crystal clear for Oral-lyn buccal spray since it is winning some early regulatory approvals before the first patients have been dosed in the Phase III. Dr. Gerald Bernstein, former President of the American Diabetes Association, is a member of Generex's executive management team and is named in the company's press releases as the expert traveling the globe raising awareness of Oral-lyn at endroclonogical events.
Non-compliance is a serious issue complicating the conditions caused by diabetes and it is fair to say that I am rooting for the little team to help bring this growing epidemic under control. After all, with all the safety issues involving not only inhalable insulin, but the new class of Type 2 oral pills (i.e. Avandia), a simple 1 unit buccal insulin spray may prove to be the winning solution to the puzzle of needle-less delivery.
Finding a successful needle-less option has been called the 'Holy Grail of diabetes research' and this small biotech may actually have developed the next paradigm of diabetic care. As the current spotlight shines on the questionable safety problems of inhalable insulin, investors may be wise in paying attention to Generex and their Oral-lyn buccal spray. The positive safety profile and positive Phase II efficacy results are encouraging to GNBT shareholders in a time when the diabetic epidemic is growing and its needle-less competitors are all falling.
Generex recently completed new financing that brings their cash holding to just above $40 million. Generex's burn rate has been approximately $7 million per quarter and it would be wise to note that this burn rate should move higher with the manufacturing needed for the Indian market and the continuation of the worldwide Phase III trial. Shreya Life Sciences, the 4th largest insulin distributer in India, is Generex's marketing and distribution partner for the region. Last month, Shreya placed a purchase order for 210,000 units of Oral-lyn to be used in the marketing launch. Generex's marketing and distribution partner in the China region is Scigen Ltd of Singapore. The principle shareholder of SciGen is Bioton SA, an insulin crystal manufacturer in Poland.
Perhaps in 2008 we are bearing witness to the first safe and effective achievement of this elusive goal. Generex Biotechnology, whose headquarters are based in Toronto, may be the first to redesign and improve one of the world's most vital drugs. Biotech investing is ripe with risks coupled with the prospects for large rewards. All investors need to carefully weigh the potential and realities facing any biotech and especially a microcap. Due diligence is always a necessary ingredient to wise investing. Carefully investigate my opinions and then form your own.

If the surface of your boat appears dull or chalky, it is likely that your gelcoat has oxidized. Gelcoat oxidation can be remedied in most cases, but may require the hand of a professional if the oxidation is severe.
Signs of Light Oxidation
If your boat's gelcoat is slightly oxidized, most of the surface will be shiny with a few patches of dullness or cloudiness. At this stage of oxidation, a simple oxidation removing compound applied to the hull will remove oxidation and restore the shine.
Signs of Medium Oxidation
The entire surface of the boat will be dull with little reflectivity, and there will be signs of pitting. To remove the oxidation and smooth the pitting, you will need to apply a polishing compound using a circular motion with a machine buffer. The polish, similar to fine sandpaper, removes the pitted surface rather than coating it. Signs of Heavy Oxidation
The entire surface of the boat will have no reflectivity and may be chalky to the touch - pitting is obvious. At this stage of oxidation, washing, sanding and polishing are required. In most cases though, restoration will mean intense work to restore the shine and may require the attention of a professional. In the worst oxidation cases, the gelcoat may be beyond restoration and painting the boat may be the only option.
The best medicine for gelcoat oxidation is prevention. Follow a simple gelcoat maintenance plan to protect your boat's gelcoat. If you suspect your boat's gelcoat is already oxidized, try these simple tips to remove gelcoat oxidation and restore your boat's gelcoat to its original lustre.

My school also had Field Day these past three days! I seriously don't know what I was thinking when I chose black shirts for our class color. This is also the first school that I have been at that the students/classes still compete against other students/classes for points. Not that they win anything other than bragging rights though. I was SO proud of my class....I must admit my expectations were not extremely high for a few reasons. First, I have what I call the Mod Podge class...because I was displaced and came to this school in September I received about 3 to 4 students from other classes...they still don't work as well together as a class that would have formed in August. Secondly my observations during recess have been that my class prefers to play tag or sit...so our athletic abilities have been minimal.
BUT I am happy to say that we won FIRST place OVERALL, scoring the most points they think have ever been scored. We placed 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in EVERY event. I think that was the first time we have actually worked well together, as a team. So despite the heat, sunburn, and exhaustion...overall, it was a great day!
Here is a picture of our banner...the theme was Go For the Gold. I must admit, not my finest work...and the theme was a little difficult to work with, but oh well.
