Q: Vue.js using chart.js options not working Hey guys I am currently using example code for vue-chartjs but when I'm trying to add options it does not allow me to add it for some reason. Maybe I am misplacing it, but I'm not sure.
Here is my source code.
// CommitChart.js
import {  Bar } from 'vue-chartjs'

function getNum(){return Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);}

export default {
  extends: Bar,
  mounted () {
    // Overwriting base render method with actual data.
    this.renderChart({
      labels: ['Yeah', 'What', 'Turnup'],
      datasets: [
        {
          label: 'Skimp me',
          backgroundColor: [
            'rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)',
            'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)',
            'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)',
          ],
          borderColor: [
            'rgba(255,99,132,1)',
            'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)',
            'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)',
          ],
          data: [getNum(), getNum(), getNum()],
          borderWidth: 1
        }
      ],
      // ATTEMPTING TO ADD OPTIONS.
      options: {
         scales: {
           yAxes: [{
            ticks: {
              beginAtZero:true
           }
          }]
        }
      }
   })
 }
}

Everything works but I cannot figure out why this is wrong. Thanks!

A: You can overwrite the default chart options. Just pass the options object as a second parameter to the render method.
Right now your options are within the first object passed in.

Q: Can I use SQLAlchemy with Cassandra CQL? I use Python with SQLAlchemy for some relational tables. For the storage of some larger data-structures I use Cassandra. I'd prefer to use just one technology (cassandra) instead of two (cassandra and PostgreSQL). Is it possible to store the relational data in cassandra as well?

A: As mentioned, Cassandra does not support JOIN by design.  Use Pycassa mapping instead: http://pycassa.github.com/pycassa/api/pycassa/columnfamilymap.html

A: playOrm supports JOIN on noSQL so that you CAN put relational data into noSQL but it is currently in java.  We have been thinking of exposing a S-SQL language from a server for programs like yours.  Would that be  of interest to you?
The S-SQL would look like this(if you don't use partitions, you don't even need anything before the SELECT statement piece)...
PARTITIONS t(:partId) SELECT t FROM TABLE as t INNER JOIN t.security as s WHERE s.securityType = :type and t.numShares = :shares")
This allows relational data in a noSQL environment AND IF you partition your data, you can scale as well very nicely with fast queries and fast joins.
If you like, we can quickly code up a prototype server that exposes an interface where you send in S-SQL requests and we return some form of json back to you.  We would like it to be different than SQL result sets which was a very bad idea when left joins and inner joins are in the picture.
ie. we would return results on a join like so (so that you can set a max results that actually works)...
tableA row A   -  tableB row45
               -  tableB row65
               -  tableB row 78
tableA row C   -  tableB row46
               -  tableB row93
NOTICE that we do not return multiple row A's so that if you have max results 2 you get row A and row C where as in ODBC/JDBC, you would get ONLY rowA two times with row45 and row 65 because that is what the table looks like when it is returned (which is kind of stupid when you are in an OO language of any kind).
just let playOrm team know if you need anything on the playOrm github website.
Dean

A: No, Cassandra is a NoSQL storage system, and doesn't support fundamental SQL semantics like joins, let alone SQL queries. SQLAlchemy works exclusively with SQL statements. CQL is only SQL-like, not actual SQL itself.
To quote from the Cassandra CQL documentation:

Although CQL has many similarities to SQL, there are some fundamental differences. For example, CQL is adapted to the Cassandra data model and architecture so there is still no allowance for SQL-like operations such as JOINs or range queries over rows on clusters that use the random partitioner.

You are of course free to store all your data in Casandra, but that means you have to re-think how you store that data and find it again. You cannot use SQLAlchemy to map that data into Python Objects.


LONDON — Westminster Abbey's bells will peal, a flotilla will sail down the River Thames and a gun salute will ring out on Wednesday as Queen Elizabeth II becomes the longest-serving monarch in British history.
The queen herself is set to inaugurate a railway line in Scotland and host a private dinner at Balmoral Castle to mark the day she overtakes her great-great grandmother queen Victoria's record.
It is not known where exactly she will be at 1630 GMT, the best estimate from royal officials for the time at which the monarch, who has become synonymous with Britain itself, reaches the landmark.
But at that moment, she will have served 23,226 days, 16 hours and roughly 30 minutes on the throne – over 63 years.
Prime Minister David Cameron is expected to lead tributes in parliament to a figure best known internationally for her stoicism in the face of a slew of royal scandals, as well as her colourful outfits.
"Her Majesty has been a rock of stability in a world of constant change," Cameron said in a statement.
The queen may deliver a speech for the occasion, according to media reports, although a royal source has said she wants to keep the occasion low-key because of the memories it evokes.
"While she acknowledges it as an historic moment, it's also for her not a moment she would personally celebrate, which is why she has been keen to convey business as usual and no fuss," the source explained.
Elizabeth became queen upon the death of her father George VI, Britain's king during World War II, whose youthful stutter inspired the Oscar-winning film The King's Speech.
The calculation of her time on the throne is based on when he passed away, which is estimated at around 1:00 am on February 6, 1952 – an hour after he was seen for the last time at his bedroom window at Sandringham House in eastern England.
The queen presided over a gradual decline in Britain's global influence as many of its former colonies became independent, as well as a sharp rise in living standards and the advent of the digital age.
"She has been on the throne so long, it's difficult to conceive of the country without her," said Judith Rowbotham, visiting research fellow at Plymouth University.
She has also steered the monarchy through some of its rockiest recent patches, including the collapse of three of her children's marriages and public anger at her reaction to the death of princess Diana in 1997, which some saw as cold.
That decision was crowned by the highly popular marriage of the queen's grandson Prince William to commoner Kate Middleton in 2011, and the birth of the couple's two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
While the queen herself may not want to make a fuss of today's landmark, Buckingham Palace will mark the day with a photo display of her reign and is allowing broadcasters to set up on its famous lawn – an unprecedented concession.
Most British newspapers splashed photographs of the queen on their front pages today. The Daily Telegraph's front-page headline was "The longest to reign over us" while the Daily Express ran with: "Thank You Ma'am."
Historian David Starkey said the queen was an example of "unimpeachable integrity."
He said her refusal to comment on controversial issues had deprived "republicanism of the necessary oxygen of controversy."
However, it also meant she had "done and said nothing that anybody will remember" and she would therefore "not give her name to her age" as Victoria did, Starkey wrote in the Radio Times.
Most of her subjects remain fans. A YouGov survey earlier this year found she was the woman most admired by Britons, well ahead of actress Judi Dench in second place.

Q: Lagrangian complement in symplectic vector space Let $(V,\omega)$ be a vector space over $K$ together with symplectic form $\omega : V \times V \rightarrow K$. Let $U \subseteq V$ be a Lagrangian subspace (in other words, $U = U^{\perp}$). I want to know whether there must exist another Lagrangian subspace $W$ such that $U \oplus W = V.$
So far I have only been able to guarantee that an isotropic space $W$ exists such that $U \oplus W = V$; in other words, $W \subseteq W^{\perp}.$ I used Zorn's lemma to construct $W$.
If $V$ is finite-dimensional, then $\mathrm{dim} W = \mathrm{dim}(V) / 2 = \mathrm{dim}(W^{\perp})$ immediately implies that $W = W^{\perp}$.
Does anyone know what happens when $V$ is infinite-dimensional?

A: It is not true in general, for infinite dimensional spaces, even when they are strong symplectic. There is a counterexample briefly mentioned by Kalton and Swanson of a subspace of a reflexive Banach space, that is maximally isotropic (i.e. Lagrangian), but has no Lagrangian complement.

Early in October 1997, Billy Bragg and his manager, Peter Jenner, finished a couple of concerts in Pennsylvania and jumped into a car. Bragg and the band Wilco had not yet begun recording their groundbreaking reinventions of Woody Guthrie songs, and Bragg had to see something before they started.
In a couple days, they were knocking around Okemah, Okla., Guthrie's birthplace — walking Main Street to see Woody's name carved in the cement back in the '20s, picking over the overgrown ruins of his childhood home.
People in Okemah are used to this. Guys with guitars make the pilgrimage year-round. The house is in ruins largely because so many wanna-be folkies have carried off its stones as souvenirs. Bragg, a noted British folk-rocker for more than three decades now, only turned heads when he flashed his accent.
"It seemed to me that if we were going to get in close to Woody then we needed to come and at least see Okemah," Bragg told me that day. He also came up to Tulsa, where I was writing then, and a great tip lead to a long interview. "You can read so much both of what Woody wrote about Oklahoma and what subsequent biographers have written, but we wanted to actually come down here and see what it looks like now — take that contemporary feel away with us — and to go out to Okemah and walk the streets that Woody walked and talk to the people about how they feel about him ... We're just trying to get a feel for it."
Bragg channeled that feel into the first volume of "Mermaid Avenue," recorded the following January and released in June 1998. This was the first major, full-length record using lyrics from the then-freshly opened Woody Guthrie Archives, songs for which Guthrie ("This Land Is Your Land") wrote down the words but not the tunes.
To add to the proper Americana feel of the newly crafted music, Bragg recruited Chicago's Wilco. With only two albums out, Wilco then was still saddled as "rootsy." After "Mermaid Avenue," the band began moving in fresher musical directions on the high-waterline albums "Summerteeth" and "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot."
For "Mermaid Avenue," Bragg and Wilco recorded dozens of tracks. Fifteen were released initially, and another 15 on "Mermaid Avenue, Vol. 2" (2000). Two months ago, a box set was released featuring both volumes, plus a third (17 more songs) and a DVD of the album's making-of documentary, "Man in the Sand."
Their collaboration paved the way for scores of others — a wide range of musicians who have since spelunked through the Archives and revived hundreds of Guthrie's thousands of lost songs. Lou Reed, Rob Wasserman, Jonatha Brooke, Nellie McCay, Michael Franti, the Klezmatics, the Dropkick Murphys, Corey Harris, Natalie Merchant, My Morning Jacket's Jim James, David Amram, even Jeff Tweedy's former partner in Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar — all have posthumously collaborated with Guthrie in the years since "Mermaid Avenue."
It was a difficult beginning, though. "Man in the Sand," an odd film, documents the difficult "Mermaid" recording sessions. Tensions ran a bit high between Bragg and Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and Jay Bennett; by the end of the film they're not speaking, and there's no real explanation.
"When Nora approached me, the deal I made was that I chose the musicians," Bragg told me later, in July 1998. "She was very concerned that this not sound like a tribute record. Tributes are nice ideas, but they're often focused on the personalities of the people who record them. We wanted to focus on the artist."
"They sound like the ultimate Midwest Americana red-dirt band," Bragg said. "Jeff Tweedy is a marvelous songwriter, too. He really understood what we were doing."
This year is the centennial of Guthrie's birth, with months of celebrations are scheduled across the country, including last month's Guthrie tribute at Metro with Tom Morello as well as next weekend's 100th Birthday Celebration back at the Old Town School featuring Nora Guthrie, Bucky Halker and more (7:30 p.m. June 30, $21-$25). So Bragg is back on the road in America playing some of the "Mermaid Avenue" songs. His concerts feature one set of his own songs, another of Guthrie's.
If you have high hopes of Wilco members joining Bragg during either of his two shows this weekend in Chicago, it's not to be. The band has its own two-night stand this weekend at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver. Wilco still plays "Mermaid Avenue" songs on rare occasions.
Bragg also will be leading a songwriting workshop titled "Why Write a Song? The Art of Communication in the Digital Age" at 11 a.m. June 23 in Szold Hall at the Old Town School. Registration is $35 at (773) 728-6000 and oldtownschool.org.

It's really a divertimento, I guess, scored for piano trio.
Now, if we go back a few years to our discussion of Beethoven's op. 1 piano trios, you may remember that the form was strategically chosen, giving the composer the chance to step out a bit and put his own mark on a form without stepping on the toes of the greats, like Haydn, primarily.
I listed this as a piano trio, but it's listed in just as many places, if not more, as a divertimento. This piece, with its three-movement fast-slow-fast structure, seems to be much closer to the modern-day chamber format than the many-movement pieces we've seen (and will continue to see) in his divertimenti and serenades. Also, this divertimento, even if considered so, doesn't get a number in his list of divertimenti, which could obviously be confusing.
The first movement begins in a light manner, with the piano as the backbone and the violin and cello playing supporting roles in various ways, for this movement, at least. It's clearly not all unison parts, the violin, as we shall see, fares better than the cello in having something to say beyond what the keyboard does. We can thank Anderson and his notes at Naxos for mentioning the Lombardic rhythm, which he says features in second subject. Overall it's a light movement, with not a ton of weight or tension, though there are some sweet, minor-mode passages in the development, and a bit of back-and-fort between the keyboard and strings before we get to the recapitulation. This is actually (at least in the above-referenced recording) the shortest movement of the entire work.
The violin takes over somewhat from the keyboard in the subsequent two movements, beginning by introducing the Adagio theme. The cello, though, doesn't get nearly as exciting a treatment, and serves mostly to round out the sound of the trio. The piano picks up the violin's theme, but the cello never gets its chance with it. This lullaby-like central movement is the longest of the three-movement work. The cello does eventually come (more) to the fore in a few passages, even if it's very brief, and still alongside the piano. I'm not so sure this is great background music for entertainment like the divertimenti are, unless we're ready to take a nap. Maybe I'm just very sleepy, but this is a beautiful, peaceful movement.
The finale continues to feature the violin, and is structured as a finale while giving us the feel of a minuet, both of which we may have had were this work in four movements. The first theme features the violin with piano accompaniment, the poor cello all but buried, and the next section shows off the violin some more. It sounds more here than anywhere else like the cello is the third wheel hanging around on a piano-and-violin date, but there are a few places where you may notice that the added richness from its low voice is welcomed and effective, giving an albeit very brief seriousness to a few moments. Good thing the themes here are cute and charming, because the movement begins to border on being repetitive, but needless to say, this composition is certainly not one of his more notable achievements. There are better things to come, so no judgment here.
We have much more Mozart on the way, so stay tuned for a bit more of his lighter 'entertainment' music, and thanks so much for reading.

Their firm's recent disparate impact/disparate treatment case against the Colorado Springs PD. Arndt v. Colorado Springs involved Title VII claims for disparate impact discrimination and disparate treatment, as well as violations of the Equal Protection Clause and the ADA. The case challenged a physical abilities test (PAT) that the CSPD adopted and used as a tool for making employment decisions about incumbent officers. During the course of litigating the case, we learned that no other law enforcement agencies in the country were using a PAT to screen incumbent officers for continued employment. At our request, Judge Matsch bifurcated the trial and held a court trial on the disparate impact claim, reserving the remaining claims for a later jury trial. They prevailed at the trial to the court, and ultimately settled the case before having to try the remaining claims to the jury.
The specific topics include: (1) preparing for, pleading, and proving disparate impact; and (2) ethical considerations for settlement.
The pass rates on the PAT showed evidence of a disparate impact on older women. Plaintiffs were able to establish the existence of disparate impact through the use of a 'chi squared' test, as well as convincing argument that the EEOC's 4/5ths rule is a guideline for courts to apply, not a dispositive rule for determining the existence of disparate impact.
After Judge Matsch's order was issued the case went to mediation, and settlement was reached. The Defendants sought to include unethical and unenforceable terms in the settlement agreement, including terms that would have bound the Plaintiffs' lawyers to confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions, as well as imposed liquidated damages on the Plaintiffs and the lawyers.


This one goes way back. I remember once my Mom talking about making choices in life. She once said I was an ice cream in the dark kind of kid. What she meant was that if it came down to paying the electric bill or having ice cream, I'd rather sit in the dark with the ice cream. My momma knows me.
This wasn't about ice cream, or food. It was about embracing the pleasures around you. Sometimes people say "It's the journey not the destination" or maybe "Stop and smell the roses". These are other ways of saying enjoy life. But of course it is one thing to just say "Enjoy life"; it is quite another to give practical guidance to help with the little decisions we have to make everyday. If the choice is to stick to the safe habits and the drudgery of stability or to strike out and take risks, to hope for something more…then I choose hope. I choose faith that tomorrow will come, and God will provide.
Now to be clear, this doesn't address the issue of integrity. It is in no way a license or support for not paying your bills and being responsible. It's just that the little details have a way of working themselves out. Sometimes stretching for the goal and fully committing to the rope; is the only way to climb out of a hole. Hope lets you do incredible things, but only if you have faith to act like your hope is inexhaustible.
Are you being timid? Safe? When is the last time you just closed your eyes and fell?

Kookesh retains board chair of Kootznoowoo
Monday, June 24th, 2019 4:40pm

Many companies have channel partners that control a significant part of the actual experience with customers. Automobile companies have dealers, insurance companies have independent agents, software companies have value-added resellers (VARs), and hardware and other heavy equipment manufacturers have distributors. Even brokers or financial advisors have external partners.
While companies may not have direct control over partners, brand owners have the opportunity to influence partner organizations to provide a better customer experience.
A Forrester analysis indicates that "Those who use a channel sales enablement technology solution show a 22% increase in hitting sales quota."
In this post, we'll discuss the decision making criteria a business might consider when moving from a fully direct channel business model to supporting an indirect channel for all or a part of their business practices.
Customer experience is the sum of all interactions a customer has with a supplier of goods or services, over the duration of their relationship with that supplier. Customers have these experiences anytime, anywhere, on any channel with multiple constituencies of the company or brand.
A great customer experience relies on the company's ability to connect behind-the-scenes entities and activities to customer interactions and to provide superior service at every touch point. Companies need to consider the influence of every single employee and most importantly external partners on every single customer interaction. Forrester calls this complex set of relationships the customer experience ecosystem.
"Moreover, the age of the customer dynamics widen the aperture of the customer experience spectrum to include customer' experience of partners and partners' experience of their manufacturers."
Here's a list of the primary types of partner relationships. You should consider the type of relationship based on how your company wants to utilize partners to help sell and drive business objectives.
Reseller: Partners that sell your product who act mostly as a different sales channel. The partner derives their revenue through the margin you provide them when they sell your product. They can sell your products using their own contracts.
System Integrator (SI): Partners who develop more complete solutions by integrating your product with others. These partners make the majority of their revenue through services and little through product resale. The customer would typically sign two contracts, one for products and one for services.
Distributor: Partners that can leverage the distribution of your product through a network of other partners giving them choice. Marketplaces can offer side-by-side comparisons.
Value-added Reseller (VAR): Partners who could provide additional products or services or packages bundled with your product to deliver a more complete solution to their customers. Their profits come more from the delivery of their services, than from the margin you provide them for reselling your product.
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM): Partners with their own product to sell who are looking to expand their offering with your product. For example, bundling Intel chips inside of a Dell computer.
Once you've established the type of partner relationship, it's important to manage the processes and experiences across your indirect channels. Here are some important considerations.
Function: Are some business functions better served through an indirect channel? Some scenarios include field service, product installation, preventative maintenance, or lead generation.
Think about how third party contracts are used for home installation, real estate appraisals, or home health care after hospital visits.
For example, you might be able to have your field service outsourced to a third party who offers a better experience for onsite customer service.
Reach: Are you missing sales opportunities for some reason? Is it possible that your sales team cannot reach all of the customers in their assigned territory? Are there companies that never seem to be able to get served by your business due to size or other issue?
A partner might be able to sell products to customers that are harder to access by your current sales teams.
Profitability: Are there deals that aren't cost effective for your sales teams to work on but might be profitable for an external team? Profitability can diminish for certain business segments. Your company might attempt to reach those customers with a specialized product or service sold through a partner.
You might be able to offer partners deals because they can service them more efficiently.
Brand: Do you have a well-defined partner community? Are your partners helping you do business? Would you consider allowing your partners to sell for you under their own paperwork and contracts? How do your competitors sell? If you can offload business functions without compromising your brand, this is a good consideration.
Territory: Are territories or bands best served through a channel? Could a partner allow you to expand to a new geography or market segment? Sometimes a partner is already established and ready to engage, they just need to negotiate the terms of the relationship.
You might be able to save money by setting up a distributorship in a foreign country, who are more familiar with local regulations, rather than establishing your own business there.
Overlap: Span of control. How would you segment or separate business functions so a partners coverage doesn't hinder or overlap your direct channels? Or is it a strategic decision to switch from a direct sales to an indirect business model? Can you convert your existing sales team to support the channel?
You can both work in the same country or the same state at the same time if the appropriate controls are in place.
So as you look to grow your business, indirect channels can support your objectives across marketing, sales and service needs. Channel management can drive revenues or enhance customer outcomes for your customer.
Our next blog post will discuss how you deliver optimal partner experience across your channel ecosystem, by transforming the ease-of-doing-business along the entire partner life-cycle.

India may appoint full time coach after World T20: BCCI secretary
By Ayaskant Das	 On Jan 18, 2016
New Delhi, Jan 18:
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is contemplating appointing a full time national side's head coach after hosting the World Twenty20 tournament, secretary Anurag Thakur said here on Monday.
pic: asianetindia.com
The team is currently marshalled by team director Ravi Shastri, who took over after Zimbabwean Duncan Fletcher's contract wasn't renewed following India's semi-final loss in the One-Day World Cup early in 2015. Shastri has been reluctant to take on the role on a permanent, long-term basis and only agreed to take charge for a short duration.
India will be hosting the World Twenty20 tournament from March 8 to April 3.
"The decision to appoint a full time coach will be taken by the cricket advisory committee soon. We don't want to discuss about it mid-season. A decision will be taken after the World T20," Thakur said on the sidelines of an International Cricket Council's (ICC) cleanliness programme in association with Unicef and BCCI.
"Ravi Shastri, the team director, will be at the helm till the World T20. A decision as to who will be in charge of the team will be taken after that."
Thakur also said that BCCI has given time till January 31 to its state associations to convene a Special General Committee (SGM) meeting to discuss the recommendations of the Justice Lodha Committee in its report.

He said all the associations have been told to express their opinions on how the suggested reforms would affect its functioning. Their view points will be discussed and taken into consideration by BCCI in its Annual General Meeting (AGM).
"BCCI has requested all its state associations to look into the details of the Lodha committees recommendations, deliberate on it and come out with its view points on a SGM. Then BCCI will discuss about it in its AGM," Thakur said.
Thakur also expressed concern about the Indian team's poor performance in losing the ongoing One-Day series in Australia, particularly of the bowling unit, and said the team think-tank and the selectors will discuss it to avoid another such performance.
"India's defeat in three matches was unfortunate — bowling has not been upto the mark. The team management and the selectors will discuss it to avoid such a performance in the upcoming Asia Cup and World Twenty20," he said.
The board secretary also expressed faith in under-pressure skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, saying it was under his guidance that the team won two World Cups (World T20 in 2007 and One-Day World Cup in 2011) and reached the top of Test team rankings.
"Dhoni is one of the most successful Indian captains ever. It is unfortunate that we have lost three matches. And bowling has been weak so we lost despite posting strong totals. It is a concern. BCCI and selectors will discuss it," he said.
"It is not fair to raise questions on Dhoni looking at the performance of one series only."
India's loss in the first three One-Days of the five match series in Australia has been partly blamed on BCCI's continued reluctance to use the Decision Review System (DRS) to judge crucial on-field decisions. But Thakur reiterated BCCI's stance saying DRS is not "100 percent error-free" and has scope for improvement before its acceptance.
Thakur also said ICC's packed Future Tour Programme (FTP) calendar for this year leaves very little scope for an India-Pakistan series to take place. (IANS)

Blueprint for Hepatitis C Elimination in Canada: A priority populations and health equity approach – Part One
August 26, 2019 • By Dr. Jordan Feld, Carrielynn Lund, Fozia Tanveer
An introduction by Dr. Jordan Feld, University Health Network Nearly 250,000 Canadians are living with hepatitis C (HCV), yet 45% are undiagnosed and remain at risk of developing complications related to long-term liver damage like liver cancer. Hepatitis C causes more years of life lost than any other infectious disease in Canada. Fortunately, with the arrival of safe treatment that cures more than 95% of people, combined with simple diagnostic methods and effective prevention strategies, we now have the tools to eliminate hepatitis C.

In the eyes of Indigenous people: The link between colonialism and hepatitis C, and the need for historic trauma-informed care
April 15, 2019 • By Sadeem Fayed and Dr. Alexandra King
Why do First Nations, Métis and Inuit in Canada carry such an unfair burden of hepatitis C in Canada? It is estimated that hepatitis C among Indigenous people is five-times higher than non-Indigenous Canadians. In particular, Indigenous women represent almost half of all hepatitis C cases in their communities, a much higher proportion than among the non-Indigenous Canadian population. Young Indigenous people (24 years and under) represent 70% to 80% of hepatitis C infections among people who inject drugs in Canada.

When Women Are on Boards, Male CEOs Are Less Overconfident
By Jie Chen, Woon Sau Leung, Wei Song and Marc Goergen
A number of governments are pushing for greater female representation in the boardroom. And several studies suggest why: Having women on the board results in better acquisition and investment decisions and in less aggressive risk-taking, yielding benefits for shareholders. What's less clear is why these effects happen.
Our research suggests one potential reason: Having female board members helps temper the overconfidence of male CEOs.
To test this, we gathered data on 1,629 firms in the U.S. We examined whether CEOs were less likely to exhibit overconfidence when there were women on their board, and how this effect influenced corporate decisions and performance.
To assess overconfidence, we looked at CEOs' option-exercise behavior. Unlike corporate decisions that reflect top management's collective beliefs, the personal choice of holding or exercising vested options is likely to reveal a CEO's individual beliefs and confidence about the company.
We then analyzed whether female board representation affected this behavior. We found a significant relationship between female board representation and the overconfidence measure for male CEOs.
In our data, we found that the most overconfident CEOs were in industries like pharmaceuticals, computer software, coal and construction. And we did find that having at least one female director on the board was associated with less aggressive investment policies, better acquisition decisions and ultimately improved firm performance in these industries.
To further examine how female board members affect firm performance, we looked at differences in accounting and stock performance for over 500 firms during the financial crisis of 2007 to 2009. We expected CEO overconfidence resulted in poor performance during the crisis, as it might have led CEOs to pursue aggressive strategies that made their firms more vulnerable. But because female directors might be more likely to temper these CEOs' behavior, we expected to see better performance during the crisis for firms with female directors.
Our results were consistent with this prediction.
Our study has two important implications. First, it suggests that female board representation matters more in certain industries, because some industries have more overconfident CEOs. Second, our findings suggest female board representation can be especially beneficial in helping firms weather crises. Our research supports the view that having women on boards improves strategic decision-making and benefits firms.

Acupuncture is one of the most well-known components of Chinese medicine and while still new to the Western world, it has been practiced in China for more than 2,500 years.
Fine, sterile needles are carefully inserted along the body's meridians which are the pathways through which life energy or Qi (say "chee") flows to nourish organs, muscles and other tissue. Qi soothes physical and emotional pain, protects from illness and energizes the body, but stress, trauma and poor health habits can disrupt that flow. Acupuncture restores the free-flowing Qi to promote healing.
Treatment with acupuncture is safe and painless. For many chronic ailments as well as for accidental injury, acupuncture therapy is effective in relieving current symptoms and preventing further debility. Have questions? Ask us how acupuncture can alleviate your pain.
