Business owners often use non-compete agreements to protect their brand and trade secrets. Previously reserved for high-level executives, these contracts have even made their way into the “lower-income” sector. However, state law prohibits the use of non-compete agreements in some situations. Furthermore, such agreements must meet certain criteria to be considered enforceable by the courts. Where does your company stand on its use of “covenants not to compete?” The answer may surprise you.
While non-compete agreements are not stand-alone documents, they do frequently make an appearance in other types of contracts, such as employment agreements and contracts for the sale or purchase of a business. Used to protect things like a company’s trade secrets, marketing tactics, client or customer data, and other sensitive business information, they prohibit the signer from working in a specific industry, trade, or geographical location. It may also prohibit the singer from working with specific competitors (prospective employers).
Are not directly or indirectly injurious to the public.
It is important to note that the rules of enforceability may not always be applied the same in each situation. For example, a non-compete agreement may meet all of the rules and requirements, but if the employee did not acquire confidential information during their employment, the contract may be considered void and unenforceable by the courts.
The passage of the Illinois Freedom Act, which occurred in 2016, places some additional restrictions on non-compete agreements as well. According to Illinois state law, low-income employees (defined as those who make the greater or either minimum wage or $13 an hour) cannot be asked to enter into a non-compete agreement, even if they have access to sensitive or confidential trade or industry secrets. However, this law does not apply to non-compete agreements signed before the Act’s passage. In that case, the original criteria would apply.
To get ahead in today’s competitive market, business owners need to carefully protect their trade and industry secrets. Non-compete agreements can help, but only if they are truly enforceable. Backed by more than 40 years of experience, the DuPage County small business lawyers at Stock, Carlson, Oldfield & McGrath, LLC can review your current agreement to determine its enforceability and assist you with closing loopholes.

If you are running a business and have a product or service that isn't offered elsewhere or is relatively unique, chances are you have considered a confidentially agreement. All businesses operating in an industry in which secret formulas or recipes could compromise the ability of the business to make a profit should have a confidentiality agreement in place with employees. It is best that this agreement is considered and signed before an employee begins work in earnest — any hesitation can lead to murky legal waters regarding the divulgence of company-specific products or services.
The reason that confidentiality agreements need to exist separation from patents or copyrights is because they, in large part, protect trade secrets. The difference between trade secrets and copyrighted products or processes is that a trade secret is considered intellectual property. Confidentiality agreements are implemented in addition to the protections afforded by copyright infringement laws, however, because trade secrets are intellectual property that is considered non-public. Laws regarding intellectual property are complicated to enforce and often confusing for both parties involved. Confidentiality agreements allow for some of this complication to be ironed out.
The importance of such agreements cannot be overstated. It is estimated that the theft of trade secrets costs the American economy billions of dollars annually. There are federal criminal laws, in large part monitored and enforced by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to combat and punish such theft, but because of the wide scope of incident and the myriad of red tape that must be cut in order to prosecute such cases, these incidents are often best left to be handled by the parties involved. This is where confidentiality agreements come into play.
Confidentiality agreements can also be implemented as part of settlements between employees and employers. In this case, for example, a confidentiality agreement could be invoked to keep a disgruntled employee who was fired or who quit from sharing with former colleagues the details of his or her departure.
If you are interested in learning more about confidentiality agreements and if one is right for you, the most important step is to seek legal counsel. Do not go through it alone. Contact an experienced DuPage County business attorney today.

Lucee is a Java based application server and is deployed to Java Servlet containers like Tomcat. Lucee can be run behind a Web Server like Apache or Nginx to provide additional capabilities of those servers like mod_rewrite, caching and serving static files.
The easiest way to begin running Lucee is to utilize the CommandBox command line tool which can start and stop Lucee servers for development and try out the Lucee language.
Start CommandBox by running the box.exe (Windows) or executing the binary (Mac & Linux). You can make the binary system wide by following instructions for your platform.
Path to any directory in command box and type start. CommandBox will start a Lucee server in this directory and open your web browser and show a file directory of where it was started. If you place any .cfm files in this directory you will be able to execute them.
This create a directory to store my files for development. CommandBox can work from any directories that you create to store Lucee scripts.
This started up Lucee on a random port (it picks one that is available but you can manually set this yourself, see the documentation).
Once it has finihsed starting, CommandBox automatically opened the running Lucee in the default browser, which in this example is showing a list of the (empty) learnlucee directory. Files can now be added to this directory to execute Lucee templates.

The Black Series is a new series of road sportives for 2016. Possibly the hardest sportive series in the UK, each route is designed to test you both physically and mentally as you tackle the long miles and extreme elevations, in some of the most beautiful parts of the UK. Unlike UK Cycling Event’s other events, each of the Black Series rides has only one route, with a capacity for 600 riders, and is aimed at the more experienced and accomplished riders.
Leaving from Lampeter, reportedly home of the first ever game of Rugby played in Wales, you head east and towards the Llyn Brianne Reservoir and the Tyw Forest, where you’ll be rewarded with some stunning views and you’ll appreciate the remoteness of where you’re riding. This should whet your appetite for what’s in store for you later on. You’ll continue north following the reservoir until it thins to its source and peel off to the east again where thing get a little more rugged. Momentarily you’ll be back to civilisation as you hit the A470 through Newbridge-on-Wye, but not for long as you’ll soon be heading towards the Elan valley – and this is truly spectacular!
The first jaw dropping moment will be as you’re greeted by the Caban-Coch Dam. This imposing concrete wall in front of you hides the real beauty behind which is the Caban-Coch reservoir. You follow close to the shores all the way up the west side heading north and onto the Garreg-Ddu reservoir. As you cross over at the top, just to your right if you’re lucky you’ll catch a glimpse of the Garreg Ddu Dam. Don’t worry if you miss it though as you’ll ride right past the top of it at the summit of the next big climb, and it really will be worth it.
As you continue north you’ll track along next to the Pen-Y-Garreg reservoir and see the final dam of the day – simply called the Dam. From here the course starts to bend back around to the west and opens up to expose the full extent of this Welsh wilderness. You’ll follow rivers and pass through an old mining outpost before the last real stint of the day. After Devils Bridge, you’ll head south to enjoy a little rest-bite and reflect of your achievement whilst on the flatter run in back to Lampeter.
The Black Series has two more new events, Cornwall Black (Saturday 21st May) and Scarborough Black (Sunday 24th July).

After 44 years in education, 41 of them in Catholic Education, Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle Director of Schools Ray Collins will retire at the end of the 2016 school year.
Mr Collins will have served 19 years in the diocese in various roles including nine as the Director of Schools. He began his teaching career at Bourke Public School and worked in Catholic Education in the Diocese of Bathurst for 22 years.
"I have great respect for Ray and his many achievements as our Director of Schools for the last nine years, most recently his role in the Study into the Provision of Catholic Secondary Schools in the Diocese, along with the opening of St Aloysius Catholic Primary, Chisholm.
Throughout his career, Ray has promoted a strong relationship between our schools, parishes and wider Diocese. This is something I know Ray has been committed to, and a legacy I am hopeful will be carried on.
With a long history in education such as Ray's, I can't begin to imagine what some of his highlights may be – though I am sure he is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to create new memories with his family in the years to come. On behalf of the Diocese, I pass on my thanks to Ray for all he has achieved in his role of Director over the last nine years." Bishop Bill said.
"I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to serve the Catholic Church in my various positions over time and greatly appreciate the confidence various Bishops, Parish Priests, Principals and staff have had in me to enable me to undertake this service to schools.
I will walk away from this role proud of the work of our Catholic schools in providing a faith based education to the young people in their care. I want to express my deep appreciation of the support from all the clergy, Diocesan school teaching and support staff, CSO staff and our valued parents and students across each of the Diocese's 56 schools.
I also wish to express my thanks to Bishop Bill and his predecessor Bishop Michael Malone and to the late Bishop Pat Dougherty of the Bathurst Diocese for the opportunities they have given me. The support of the CSO Leadership Team and the Diocesan Executive has been crucial in my work as Director of Schools.
There are still many things to be accomplished before I finish my term as Director of Schools and I look forward to a productive and satisfying 2016 school year." Mr Collins said.
Bishop Bill Wright will shortly be commencing a recruitment process to appoint a new Director of Schools to commence at the start of the 2017 school year.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- A preliminary report from the forensic auditor tasked with investigating claims of fraud at Alabama State University alleges family and friends of university trustees benefited financially from the school.
Released today by the governor's office, the 38-page report by Forensic Strategic Solutions of Birmingham alleges Trustee Marvin Wiggins, former Trustee Lawrence "Larry" Lemak and Trustee Elton Dean all had relatives who improperly received thousands of dollars from the school.
It also alleges financial mismanagement of a Medicaid contract that ended up costing the university more than $1 million and involved gaming lobbyist Greg Jones and other problems at the school that warrant further investigation.
That investigation would, in the firm's opinion, "allow a jury or a trier of fact to conclude that multiple acts of fraud, waste and abuse are occurring and/or have occurred at ASU. ..."
"Despite the blocking, interference and delay exhibited by ASU, FSS identified multiple contracts and payments to persons who provided limited or no services to ASU and payments that constituted a conflict of interest," the firm noted.
"A list of those contracts and/or payments ... total at least approximately $2,503,216.09."
In response to the report, Bentley today asked the university to halt its search for a new president until the full board can meet to address the findings.
That letter -- and the report -- state that at least part of the findings stem from former ASU President Joseph Silver and a box of documents left on Silver's doorstep that raised several questions about the university's governance and internal controls.
The university's trustees voted in December to pay Silver $685,000 to resign. At the time, Silver charged he had been curbed for asking questions about suspicious contracts at the school.
Among the allegations in the report were charges of a mismanaged Medicaid contract awarded the university to perform research work that would be used to encourage physicians to use electronics in their practices.
While ASU had a qualified staffer who initially oversaw the work, it contracted LORAC Inc., a company that provides Medicaid contract management services, according to the report.
That decision came after university personnel were introduced to the company's president Carol Jacons -- LORAC is Carol spelled backward -- by Alabama gaming lobbyist Greg Jones, FSS alleges.
LORAC then conducted work on the project without required pre-approvals for Medicaid and with costs in excess Medicaid allowances, according to the report.
Meanwhile, ASU continued paying LORAC without Medicaid reimbursement, even when Medicaid advised the school to halt work on the project, according to the report.
In the end Medicaid agreed to pay only $351,728 of the project, and ASU spent more than $1 million that cannot be recovered, according to the report.
"The administration of the ASU-Medicaid contract is an extremely troubling example of financial waste, lack of controls, and management and oversight at ASU," the firm wrote.
The FSS report also alleges multiple conflicts of interest against university trustees.
It alleges that Wiggins had multiple relatives -- and one person who shared an address with his relatives -- who received university funds through a dropout-prevention program, Camp Eagle, which was contracted by the school and run by Wiggins' wife, Zinna Wiggins.
It also alleges that Wiggins' sister-in-law, Michelle Crawford, a former North Carolina attorney who was disbarred sometime before 2008, earned $185,597, after she was hired as an ASU professor in 2011.
Crawford has since resigned the post. In a letter to Bentley, ASU Interim President William Harris explains that he asked Crawford to resign after she was convicted of a felony.
Payments to Wiggins family members totaled $205,301, according to the report.
Meanwhile, the report alleges Lemak's companies and relatives received $739,553 from the the university through Lemak's non-profit foundation, the National Center for Sports Safety.
And it alleges that the university kept 20 percent of the $2.7 million paid by the state to the NCSS through the university, depositing the money in a reserve fund that could be used to pay any expenses the school deemed fit.
That money was retained for undocumented administrative services provided by the university, the report says.
The report further alleges that the university paid $864,793 for undocumented, uncontracted services provided by the Alabama Sports Foundation, founded and chaired by Lemak, who resigned from the board in April.
Other allegations went against Dean. The report alleges the university paid $11,502 to The Space Walker, a company that rents large inflatables, of which Dean's daughter and son-in-law are the only members.
It further alleges $78,000 in payments to Falicia Rhodes, a person of rumored relationship to Dean, for contract services provided to the ASU Center for Leadership and Public Policy and for stadium contract services.
In letters to Dean and Wiggins, Bentley wrote that there "are concerns that you may have violated the conflict of interest policy for ASU" and that the payments were not reflected in their Statement of Economic Interest Forms.
In a response, Wiggins wrote to Bentley that he had nothing to do with his wife's involvement in Camp Eagle nor any involvement in who worked there.
"The family members referenced are my wife's family and only mine by virtue of marriage," he wrote. "None of my family by blood have been employed at any time to my knowledge at Camp Eagle."
He also said he did not ask anyone with the university to employ any member of his family and that a document cited as evidence that he instructed payment to Camp Eagle was actually detailing a payment to the university, not the other way around.
In a statement, Wiggins said Bentley had arbitrarily decided to remove him from the board instead of basing his actions on facts.
His removal, Wiggins said, was so that Bentley "can begin the process of controlling Alabama State University."
"Our university has gained everything we have through struggles and fights for decades, and if a fight is what Gov. Bentley wants, he will certainly get it," he said.
Bentley's communications director, Jeremy King, said neither trustee has been removed from the board and that the university is still awaiting a response from Dean.
In a statement, Dean denied what he called "baseless allegations."
"We worked with this Governor in good faith, and today he betrayed us and released a report that he knows is wrong," he said. "I can assure all those in the university family that we will not lie down and allow any governor to take over ASU.
"We are being used and abused for political purposes by Gov. Bentley, and I resent it."
Still other allegations in the report involved the university's hiring of Birmingham attorney U.W. Clemon of the law firm White, Arnold and Dowd to handle the audit, which the auditor said blocked it from interviewing employees or requesting documents directly from the school.
The firm states in the report that the investigation is not complete because ASU failed to produce critical documents, allow access to ASU employees and "FSS's assessment of ASU was thwarted and hampered by ASU from the beginning. ..."
In a statement, Clemon called the report's release by the governor's office "unfair" and "in violation of an express agreement reached with the Governor’s Office two weeks ago that ASU would be allowed to review and respond to the forensic audit before it was released."
"We have not had a reasonable opportunity to review and analyze the Preliminary Update, but what we have reviewed is incorrect," he said.
Clemon also said the school's use of his firm was merely to minimize impact on the school's day-to-operations, not to thwart the auditor's work.
Bentley's office hired the firm after Silver's allegations. King, said the governor's office has furnished the information to the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Alabama Attorney General.

This apartment was designed for a well known Indian Cricket star Mr. Robin Uthappa and his manager Mr. Arjun Goutham. It was created by combining two single-bedroom units in the second floor of an older building located in a quiet lane in Bangalore.
The merging of the two apartments resulted in an 1,800 square-foot home with an additional 400 square-feet of balconies. The new home consists of a large home theatre room (275 square-feet), a 175 square-foot gym and a 300 square-foot open-kitchen-dining-lobby, along with two 325 square-foot bedrooms. The unconventional programming of spaces is tailor-made to suit the two bachelors and their fast-paced, sporty lifestyle.
The apartment is longitudinally divided into two functional halves, with the provision to lock off the bedroom zone while the rest of the spaces are still accessible by visitors and staff. Each bedroom has a 15 feet long bank of wardrobes, separated from the sleeping area by exposed brick walls, a rustic touch that repeats in the home theatre area. Each bedroom is complete with a study and TV area, with access to a common balcony that has sweeping views of lawns all around. The oddly shaped bathrooms were turned into interesting spatial experiences.
The lack of a separate utility required the inclusion of the washing machine and dishwashers in the open kitchen itself, which was made possible by inserting them under a raised breakfast bar.
The apartment was accessorised with retro-themed artefacts. Muted and rustic finishes such as the blackboard walls in the lobby and the varnished concrete bathroom counters serve as a backdrop for sleek and refined furniture and woodwork. The lighting is muted and moody, creating a smoky mystique that is at the same time playful and unrestrained.

OKLAHOMA CITY - The ACLU of Oklahoma said they are standing by a woman after her request to commute a 30-year prison sentence was denied by the state's Pardon and Parole Board.
Tondalao Hall was sentenced in 2006 after pleading guilty to failing to protect two of children who were abused by her boyfriend, Robert Braxton, Jr. Braxton pleaded guilty and was released on probation after receiving credit for two years he had already spent in jail.
"It’s hard to imagine this being a just sentence," said Allie Shinn with ACLU of Oklahoma. "This woman who was being abused by her boyfriend received 30 years of maximum security prison and, the same day of that sentencing, he walked free to the streets. That's unacceptable."
The board denied Hall's request this week during a jacket review, which is the first step towards possible commutation.
"Unfortunately, the Pardon and Parole Board offered no reason and no commentary on why they were denying her opportunity for commutation," Shinn said. "Frankly, we'd love an explanation."
News 4 made multiple attempts Thursday to reach the board, both via email and phone. Only one out of five members returned our request.
Board member Kris Steele said he does not condone the failure to report but he did vote in favor of Hall.
"In reviewing her file, it appears the abuser had threatened her verbally and made it clear that if she did report anything that he would do even more harm to her and/or the children in the home," Steele said. "It just does not make sense to me that she would receive a harsher punishment than the person who actually was found guilty of the abuse."
Hall's request was not the one that was denied. The board also rejected requests from Stephanie Avery, Tonya Moss and Ashley Garrison.
"There was documented evidence in the file that the woman, the mother was also a victim of what it is called intimate partner abuse," Steele said. "I believe in at least three of the four cases, the actual abuser received a more lenient sentence than did the person who was deemed abused."
Regarding parole and pardon requests, neither the board members or the governor are required to disclosure their reasoning for decisions.
According to Steele, it is "the custom of the board not to disclose that kind of information." It is unusual for the board to even discuss a case.
Steele said, in his opinion, that should change.
"The research that I’ve read indicates that giving a reason or stating those factors actually improve public safety inside the prison system," he said.
The women now must wait three years before reapplying for commutation. Shinn said the ACLU is prepared to defend Hall.
"She’s certainly tired, she is certainly heartbroken that the majority of the members of the Pardon and Parole Board made on their behalf however she’s also a fighter," Shinn said. "Our hope is that we take this as far as we have to, as far as the highest court in the land if need be to not only gain freedom for Tondalao Hall but to ensure a path forward for women like her."

The entire digital universe is in a constant state of flux, permanently evolving to develop new, more advanced ways in which brands can stand out and reach their customers, and keep them happier than ever.
The alterations that pop up on a regular basis can evolve into trends, some of which have the power to reshape the entire industry into a more productive, customer-centric space. One of them with this potential is the emergence of AI within the digital ecosystem, and its application in the form of chatbots.
While not a new concept, the usage of chatbots has dramatically increased over the last few years, and for a few excellent reasons. For example, 75% of users expect an instant response from a chatbot at any given moment, which means that we are becoming more impatient by the minute, and with more customers to please, brands cannot afford to increase the waiting time.
So, let’s take a closer look at other relevant reasons that will make chatbots a must-have this year, and how you can benefit from their implementation sooner rather than later.
Not every brand has the same success finding and training top-notch customer support agents who can relate the right brand image to their users. Not to mention the costs of continuously bringing in more agents as you grow your customer base, and keeping an eye on their performance for the sake of protecting your brand rap. However, utilizing chatbots has shown to cut as much as 30% of customer support costs for a business.
This may not seem like too noble of a cause, but cutting costs in this particular department means being able to invest in other, more pressing matters for any brand, and devoting more time to existing customer agents and improving their skills. This is the perfect example of focusing on quality over quantity in terms of improving your existing customer service representatives, but also cutting unnecessary costs in the process.
The idea of a robot taking over a conversation with a real human didn’t sound like an appealing idea only a few years ago. Nowadays, however, the refined AI algorithms enable chatbots to learn from their collected data, recognize return customers, and strike up a very human-like conversation. This allows start-ups to thrive in the face of ever-growing competition and demand, enabling their customer engagement efficiency to become better with the help of these AI-driven inventions.
In turn, any brand that works with a reputable agency can focus on more relevant, brand-related matters such as creating appealing ad campaigns, refreshing its visual identity, or continuously producing stellar content. Chatbots are becoming increasingly capable of handling these on-the-spot issues without human monitoring, letting brands grow their reputation as a result.
In addition to achieving a higher satisfaction rate among customers (to which we’ll get in a moment), chatbots utilize their many smart, interactive features to actually learn. They gather and analyze relevant data on your customers’ behavioral patterns in order to help you understand where your business might be failing to fulfil its potential and increase conversions. This can be particularly useful for multi-branch businesses such as franchises, since relying on human-led data collecting and analytics would be too costly and time-consuming, not to mention biased.
In fact, every franchise business definition entails expanding based on previously successful models, and ensuring more financial stability and structural support for its future branches. If chatbots can deliver more actionable data based on which you can open another store in a different location and avoid making the same mistakes, it makes perfect sense to utilize this advantage to the best of your abilities.
The same helpful principle applies to your online stores. Chatbots can gather ample data across all of your web stores, and help your overarching business understand where they can make changes to convert that organic traffic into actual buyers. That said, chatbots not only have that momentary perk of helping your customers navigate your store (in a consistently polite manner), but they also have a long-term use for your business in discovering those weak links in your web presence.
No matter how impeccable your brand presentation, there will always be a customer or two who will have trouble navigating your product page, finding the right size of their product, or finding the best shipping methods for their country. For such technical problems, chatbots are the life-savers for any brand out there. Instead of wasting the time and energy of your busy agents (who can focus on more complex customer matters) chatbots can handle these issues and provide the right information without delay.
Not only can brands finally offer zero waiting time for each customer query that pops up, but they can also ensure 24-hour support for their global audience. When there’s an emergency to handle, a failed payment, or a complaint, chatbots can help to resolve many a burning issue in order to avoid exasperating any potential negative consequences. We live in a highly impatient era, so it’s no wonder customers want their questions and concerns addressed without delay.
Utilizing chatbots, as well as AI in general, doesn’t only benefit the end user, but also the rest of the customer service team – the ones in the human form, that is. Even though there’s still some reasonable concern as to how chatbots can make mistakes even in their problem-solving mode, the most advanced of these inventions are actually very intuitive and come with a steep learning curve. Still wondering how this translates to your team? Well, modern chatbots are only one segment of a complex network of digital tools that brands use to get deeper customer insights.
That effort helps your agents receive more in-depth data (already analyzed properly) so they can address the most frequent issues, and even introduce certain proactive measures to increase prevention. The collected customer data also helps chatbots become better over time, which in turn makes for a truly cutting-edge tech solution for a growing business.
Finally, there are certain tasks that all of your customer service agents dread. They are time-consuming, repetitive, and oftentimes mind-numbingly boring. This is where chatbots have infinite tolerance to challenges that would drive many a human insane, ensuring that your customer is treated with patience and care every single time.
Although chatbots are merely one piece of the complex digital puzzle of the online experience, they are a very valuable asset for any brand out there. Make sure to implement them in your own strategy and watch your business thrive as a result!

Many parts of the world are hooking up to broadband, except Sub-Saharan Africa. Blinkered anti-technology 'leadership' is the cause - witness the clueless approach to technology under the Obasanjo government. The new administration has a huge opportunity to embrace technology by building a fibre-optic infrastructure to span the country, and promoting alternative submarine cable projects to supplant the useless SAT-3 cable to enable competition amongst wholesale bandwidth providers. Anything less and Nigeria/SSA will continue to fall further behind. Nigeria lags far behind even Ghana in the broadband access stakes. See this story in today's Guardian.
im fffffiiiiirrrrrssssttt today. Talking about our slow/no band, its a national problem. Except we have leaders who are technologically inclined, I dont think we are going anywhere. When the problem of PHCN cannot be solved, talk less of internet access. Private individuals might strive to provide such services, but twill continue to be xpensive and unavailable/unaffodable for the common man(Nigerian). I agree with you on the Fibre optic thing: cable to solve the whole problem, but see, whether its Sat3, Sat4 or Sat-anything, if it is not managed well, whats the use? What we need is to manage what we have first, then talk of development.
u my friend are just totally ignorant.
No other president has done more than Obasanjo in promoting information technology use in Nigeria.
The computers for all Nigerian initiviative (CANI) ,which will allow civil servants and other formal sector workers to buy computers on a payment plan basis.
You Europeans are always quick to protray Africans as nonfunctional and Non progressives. Maybe if u spent more time reading instead of criticising you would have noticed these initiatives.

I don't think Laviolette is a step up for Conceicao, just the same sort of calibre as his previous 9 opponents.

After running the applied research group KT Studio for 10 years in the WA government, Paul has undertaken a range of projects to extend that work across a number of industries and at the heart of those projects was both learning and storytelling. At a strategic level projects in the UAE, with the WA government in regional development and in community development – the role of stories became a key factor with the use of technology an enabler. This then became a key factor in developing a number of ebooks e.g. archeology with UWA, aboriginal health with ECU and in all cases the media was shot by Paul as well.
Building on this experience led to professional learning workshops with PEAC teachers and other projects to help teachers share knowledge and learn from each other in innovative ways. Design Thinking forms a major thread in this work and underpins work with schools, universities and other organisations as a context for technology is developed with clients.
Paul has formed a capability network to undertake many different projects for a wide range of clients and can draw on many talented individuals to bring their best to these projects. KT Studio worked this was and now that network has been extended and applied to current projects. As a speaker, Paul has presented at the Apple Europe Education conference, at MIT and numerous Australian conferences related to the work of KT Studio. Experience as a CIO, Policy Analyst and manager in government is drawn upon in current projects as is the development of new skills in video production, writing and ebook production.

The first step in sleep apnea treatment resides in recognition of the symptoms and seeking appropriate consultation. Charlotte Oral Surgery offers consultation and treatment options.
In addition to a detailed history, Dr. Moore will assess the anatomic relationships in the maxillofacial region. While current technology is limited in our ability to assess sites of airway obstruction (these techniques are typically utilized during the awake state), a combination of techniques are utilized to assess airway shape and reactivity. With a 3-D cone beam CT scan, Dr. Moore can assess the overall shape of the airway, the airway pattern type, as well as any craniofacial skeletal relationships that may be contributing to airway shape.
Dr. Moore has published a classification system for describing patterns of tongue-base narrowing, which can be helpful in applying specific surgical techniques. A supine nasopharyngeal exam is done with a flexible fiber-optic camera (this is a subjective exam), and an acoustic pharyngometer device can utilize sound-waves in order to make objective measurements of upper airway volume (enabling objective correlation to the subjective exam). To confirm the amount of cardiovascular compromise and decreased oxygenation levels, a sleep study is recommended to monitor individuals overnight.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) has recently published an exhaustive and detailed paper which reviews the use of Oral Appliances in the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Within the past several years, the medical literature surrounding the use of oral appliances has matured greatly, and there are now a significant number of Level I (ie: prospective, randomized-controlled, and placebo-controlled) trials which document the efficacy of oral appliances as a viable treatment option.
While not as effective as CPAP, the AASM has revised its recommendation for use of Oral Appliances in the treatment of Snoring and OSA, and as stated in its revised practice parameter paper oral appliances should be offered as first-line treatment for patients with mild-moderate OSA. Importantly, the AASM paper also makes note that the efficacy of oral appliances may be higher than that of soft palate surgery, which is currently one of the most common surgical procedures performed for this disorder. The AASM position paper (and accompanying literature review) now offers those millions of afflicted patients the option of another viable and efficacious non-surgical treatment modality for resolution of their sleep-related airway problem.
Initial treatment may also consist of using a nasal CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine that delivers pressurized oxygen through a nasal mask to limit obstruction at night. This therapy can be a life-changing treatment for those patients who accommodate well to it; however, while this treatment is still considered the gold-standard among non-surgical therapies for this disorder, many patients with milder forms of this disorder cannot tolerate the pressures inherent with this therapy (or with an alternative form of airway pressure therapy, called Bi-PAP [Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure]), and other options must be sought.
One of the surgical options that deals with the upper soft tissue airway is a uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), which is performed in the back of the soft palate and throat. A similar procedure is sometime done with the assistance of a laser and is called a Laser Assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP). In other cases, a radio-frequency probe is utilized to tighten the soft palate. Radiofrequency energy can also be used to shrink swollen inferior turbinate tissues (contributing to nasal obstruction), as well as shrink enlarged tonsils (utilizing Coblation or Somnoplasty technology). These procedures are usually performed either under light intravenous sedation in the office, or under general anesthesia in a hospital setting (patients with significant OSA should have their airways monitored post-operatively in a hospitalized ICU setting).
Soft palate surgery is often inappropriately performed as a first-line treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. While often considered the mother of all sore throats, risks of soft palate surgery are multiple. Significant complications including: bleeding, infection, velopharyngeal incompetence (inability of the soft palate to close off the nose from the mouth), palatal stenosis (complete closure of the nose from the mouth), inability to cure OSA and snoring, and importantly death. While isolated success stories exist, unfortunately, the general public has for years succumbed to the notion that snoring = soft palate surgery, and has resultingly suffered greatly.
Surgical therapies that deal with tongue-base obstruction (which is where the basic anatomic problem with OSA lies) include: genioglossus advancement (whereby the genioglossus and geniohyoid muscle to the mandibular symphysis are advanced forward via a block cut through bone in the anterior mandible), tongue-suspension suture techniques (Repose) involving a nonresorbable suture technique that holds the upper tongue-base forward, Hyoid Suspension (performed generally using tissue grafts that pull the hyoid bone closer to the mandibular symphysis or thyroid cartilage), radiofrequency tongue base reduction, jaw-advancement (telegnathic) surgery, and tracheotomy. Except for jaw advancement and tracheostomy, the surgical literature surrounding the above listed options is poor (at best), as most of these options are used in combination with other listed surgical treatments, and treatment effect for any one procedure is difficult to determine.
In more severe cases, the bones of the upper and lower jaw may be repositioned forward in order to increase the size of the airway (Telegnathic Surgery). This procedure is currently considered within the medical and dental literature as the most effective surgical option in treating OSA (outside of tracheotomy), and is performed in the hospital under general anesthesia, and requires several days overnight stay in the hospital.
Caution is advised when considering surgical therapy for OSA; no guarantees for sleep apnea surgery are ever provided in establishing a cure.

The Milwaukee Tool Fluorescent Lighting Tester is a reliable, easy-to-use solution for accurately troubleshooting fluorescent lamps, pins and ballasts. For commercial and industrial facility managers who rely on fluorescent lighting, the tester cuts maintenance time in half and maximizes cost control on fluorescent lighting repair and replacement.
The 2210-20 Fluorescent Lighting Tester works with all T5, T8 and T12 ballasts and fluorescent lamps with dual pins. This hand-held unit features dial and button operation for easy one-handed use, and a 2.5-ft. retractable antenna extends reach when testing ceiling-height installed fixtures.
This 3-in-1 testing solution includes separate testing sequences for lamps, ballasts and pins. In LAMP mode, it acts as a portable fluorescent ballast. Simply touch the antenna to any part of a lamp. If the lamp flickers, it is in good working order. In BALLAST mode the tester antenna is placed near either end of a powered fixture; in PIN mode the dual lamp pins plug directly into the bottom of the unit. The tester detects high-frequency voltage from ballasts, and tests for complete loops through the filament between dual pins; it responds with visible flashes and audible beeps to indicate that ballasts and pins are functioning properly. All tests are initiated by simply pressing and holding the TEST button.
Included with the Milwaukee Tool 2210-20 Fluorescent Lighting Tester are 4 AA alkaline batteries and a removable antenna adapter.

The collection takes inspiration from the African-American Civil Rights movement. Kanye West will be the muse for the collection as he is currently the most controversial artist of our time and speaks of racism and discrimination frequently.
Looking into Religion, Tailoring, Fabric Manipulation, Sportswear, Riots and the power of the man. The collection tells a story of the movement: this being by protest, believing in the power of the church, prayer and making people aware that racism is still a everyday problem.
Eliminating the restrictions in menswear: the silhouette will be a combination of being oversized and amplified with fitted, slick garments. Using raw denim, faux fur, leather, bonded satin and suiting, with a muted colour palette with just a hint of colour. The outcome will show that all men are equal and will reflect the man feeling powerful again, like every other man and having the confidence to express there true outrageous style.

However, jurors didn't find that Burton was the person who shot Boyer, who lived in Dublin and had been married for less than a year.
Closing arguments begin Monday in the retrial case surrounding the shooting death of an off-duty Santa Clara County paramedic in the Oakland Hills back in 2013. Pete Suratos reports.
Alameda County prosecutor Jimmie Wilson said after the verdict that he believes Burton was the shooter but jurors had reasonable doubt about that because the only eyewitness in the case, a woman who's now 80 years old, identified another teen, Nazhee Flowers, as the person she thought shot Boyer.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge Kevin Murphy said the "ambiguity" about whether Burton, who was with five other teens at the time, was the shooter is one of the reasons he decided to sentence Burton to 25 years to life instead of life in prison without parole.
Murphy said another reason is that Burton didn't have a significant previous criminal record.
Burton's lawyer Ernie Castillo said sentencing Burton to life in prison "would be too oppressive, too excessive" because he has a very low IQ, suffers from a learning disability and grew up in a troubled and abusive home.
But Wilson asked for the maximum sentence possible, saying, "I don't think Mr. Burton cares about what he did. I think that's sad and that's tragic."
Boyer's wife Liz Boyer also said that during the six years of Burton's legal proceedings, "I've seen nothing to show that Mr. Burton really cares about the level of devastation he's caused, the amount of pain."
Wilson said during Burton's trial that the fatal shooting of Quinn Boyer occurred during a crime spree in which he and the five other teens who played hooky from school on that spring day committed two carjackings and a robbery in addition to the shooting.
Wilson alleged that the teens wanted to carjack Boyer's Honda Civic, as he had pulled his car off to the side of the road to use his cellphone.
But Castillo told jurors in his closing argument that they should find Burton not guilty because the eyewitness's description of the shooter matched Flowers, not Burton.
This was Burton's second trial for the death of Boyer because his first trial in 2015 ended in a mistrial with jurors deadlocked 7-5 in favor of finding him guilty.
Boyer's family created a foundation in his honor and will have a fundraiser scheduled for Sunday, April 7, at the Richmond Arts Center. For more information, visit QuinnsKids.org.
