As Plano is quickly evolving as a business district, the demand for reliable transportation is growing. People from all over the DFW metroplex commute to Plano to work for large companies headquartered here, including Frito Lay, Toyota Motor USA, and JCPenney.
Mayor Harry LaRosiliere recently met with members of the US Conference to discuss the future of transportation in Plano and Collin County. High on Mayor LaRosiliere's list of priorities is providing a more sensible commute to those who travel to work from various parts of the metroplex.

The Legacy Business district employs over 100,ooo people. Per Mayor LaRosiliere's studies, 90 percent of these employees are single drivers, and 40 percent of these people willing to 'try something different,' in terms of commuting to work.
The City of Plano also has plans for a new transit center, with rapid transit options to other parts of DFW.
The burning questions nearly every Dallasite has regarding transportation are about the possibility of a bullet train. Is it coming to Dallas? When will it arrive? Where will it take us?
Like most DFW residents, Mayor LaRosiliere is thrilled at the idea of a bullet train coming to Dallas.
Mayor LaRosiliere hopes that the changes coming to Dallas' mass transit will help cultivate contentment and peace-of-mind across Collin County.


A friend of mine heads an office in the White House. I never see him anymore, except at the occasional black tie design dinner, where he is always good for a couple of gin and tonics as the crowd disperses. At the last such event, he asked me a question. Or maybe he didn't. But I answered it.
"Yeah, you've got your studies that say that 10-foot lanes are safer than 12-foot lanes. But I've got a pile of studies this high," he insisted, waving at his hip, "that say the opposite."
"Wonderful," I said. "May I see them?"
"No. They're from the early days. I threw them out."
Emboldened by that exchange, I will again present the evidence at hand. First, we will investigate what the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Green Book, the traffic engineers' bible, has to say on the subject. Then we will review the very few studies that compare crash statistics and driver speeds on lanes of different widths. These will allow us to draw some clear conclusions about safety.
In the meantime, I welcome evidence to the contrary. We've shown them our studies; now let them show us theirs. Unless, of course, they've thrown them out.


Platforms are changing markets and they dominate the 21st-century business: from historical giants as Google, Apple, Amazon or Salesforce to the new entries as Uber and Airbnb, that in few years have transformed their main markets.
Today we can finally create platforms and connect users with businesses with a peer-to-peer, the best way to achieve an exponential growth with extraordinary results!
After the big markets' transformations as the mobility and the tourism on, platforms now offer big opportunities in different contests: smaller markets, niches, local markets. Plan platforms today is an opportunity for everybody… event thanks to easier tools to use.
Platform Design Toolkit: born in 2013, it has been already used and studied in many successful startups as Sharing Academy, OSVehicle, SlowD and many others as well as international big groups such as Axway, Hutchison Whampoa, Adeo, Transdev and SWIFT. Even the English national Health Service and the European Commission are among the interested clients that want to implement a platform strategy based on Platform Design Toolkit.
The workshop is organized by Luca Ruggeri.


I put granola on everything. Smoothies, bowls, coconut yogurt - you name it, anything creamy and I'll put some crunch on it. I buy a variety of nut granolas to use as toppings, but also like to have my crunchy oat granola on hand as well. Oddly enough I don't really use it like regular granola, but the boys do and love it.
This is a very lose recipe - play with quantities for how much you'd like to make, up the things you like and omit the things you don't. I have packed this recipe full of things we love, and opted to add some Glowing Skin Mix from The Wholesome Co. Any extra nutrition you can get away with adding, add!
Once mixed, pour the granola mix on to a baking tray and bake for approx 15 mins or until brown checking every 5 mins and stirring to stop any burning from happening.
Once out of the oven, add in freeze dried raspberries & cranberries.
An Overnight Oats Recipe You Should Try!
One thing I love about winter, is hot oats / porridge in the morning when it's cold outside. With it getting a bit cooler in the mornings, I decided to start experimenting with overnight oats as I'd seen a few Instagram stories about how easy they are. They actually couldn't be any easier! Once you get the quantities right, they are also pretty hard to beat for creaminess and taste.
My absolute favourite thing is that these are made in advance, so in the morning you just grab them out of the fridge and heat if desired. You can actually make several days worth in advance if you like and have a weeks worth of breakfasts good to go. The flavour combo's are also endless and kids love them. This week we have had banana & vanilla, feijoa & pear (feijoa is a fruit found in New Zealand) and peanut butter with banana. All have been great. The recipe I'm sharing with you today is a plain base that you then just add your fruit to it, or have it on it's own, it's great as is.
I suggest saving your jars and use a wider neck if possible.
Versatile recipes are the best, and you can adapt this one to suit your dietary requirements. I make it dairy free (also vegan) by using plant based coconut or almond milk & coconut yogurt, but you can totally make it with full fat milk or yogurt. To make itgluten free, use gluten free oats.
Place all ingredients in a bowl or straight into the jar and mix. Place in fridge to set for at least 4hrs.
Hot summer days mean salads for dinner in our house, and I admit, I'm not the most original in my salads usually (green salad anyone?), so I have been experimenting with new salads over the past month and this is one of my new faves.
This salad is simple, refreshing & tasty. You can change up the flavour by mixing through whatever salad dressing you think will go with it (would be lovely with a creamy dressing) or I have popped a basic recipe for a lemon dressing that I really like.My advice would be to not add the dressing until you are serving, as the chopped salad stays fresh in the fridge for 3 days without the dressing. Just add dressing as you serve.
Make it is easy, and just two steps - quick chopping of the raw ingredients, and roasting up the crunchy stuff in the oven.
First, prepare the chickpeas and almonds. If using canned chickpeas, drain and dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, toss in olive oil and mix through the morroccan seasoning.
Place the chickpeas on a lined baking try and add the almonds. Bake for 15-20 mins at 180 degrees.
Next place the salad ingredients in a bowl for serving. You can use any dressing you fancy or have handy, I make the following and it's super yum, simple and quick.
Top your salad with the roasted chickpeas and almonds, and enjoy!
We have a few staples in our house that have been around for donkeys years. We all have them, reliable family favourites that you make time and again. One of our favourites is Egg Slice. I started making it when I was pregnant as freezer meals as it freezes so perfectly and you can pack so much into it. Even when I make it now I usually double up and freeze one for when I can't be bothered to cook! The vegetable content is dependant on whatever is in my fridge at the time, you can switch out any veggies for your family faves. Usually added to the below I would have capsicum/peppers and zucchini as well.
You will get better taste if you use free range eggs. We are lucky to have 5 chickens on our property who lay the most amazing eggs, Aiden likes to go and collect the eggs before I make it and he often helps as it's a very quick and easy recipe. It should take no more than 45 mins including the 30 min bake time.
As I'm trying to stay away from higher carbs, I decided to try making it with almond flour instead of plain white flour and low and behold, it was BETTER than the original. WIN! I wrote down the winning recipe straight after dinner, here it is!
Really yummy served with avocado or fresh tomatoes, or side green salad.
Roughly 2 cups chopped veggies of any variety.

India: Children's dreams for the country and themselves
Fancy dress, culture and inspirational stories as India marks children's day.
New Delhi: Children's Day is celebrated in India on November 14, the birth anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India.
Most schools in India hold fancy dress competitions, painting contests, cultural programmes and fairs organised by children, for children.
Let the children play
Here's what some young people in India have to say about their hopes and dreams for themselves and their country:
Tishya Dubey
13 years, Grade 8, Navy Children School, Goa
I would love to see my country rise to greater heights and be a guiding light to other nations. Along with holding peaceful relations with other countries, I dream of an India with a high literacy rate. This aspect will gradually eliminate poverty, as more jobs would be created. I also wish to see my country become the greatest power — in terms of new inventions for the future of mankind — and a model nation as far as cleanliness in concerned. Striving to work in its interest, I hope to become a journalist. Since I am courageous and aware of my social responsibilities, I am aiming towards my goal. I not only find that journalism is a noble profession, it is also quite challenging and can satisfy the adventurous streak in me!
Amisha Sharkanya
15 years, Grade 10, Sulabh Public School, New Delhi
I dream of seeing India a richer, happier and healthier place to live in. I want to see it progress in all fields. Sadly, though people are becoming selfish and thinking of self before society and nation, how I wish people upheld great moral values, civic sense and love for the nation. There should also be justice, as we see so much disparity regarding caste and class everywhere. That could be the reason I dream of becoming a doctor. My even bigger dream is to some day be able to set up a hospital for the poor. Along with that, in my leisure time I desire to work towards improving the sanitary conditions of the poor, who are forced to live in unhygienic surroundings.
Siddharth Chugh
14 years, Grade 9, Delhi Public School, Mathura Road, New Delhi
What I want from India is that we restore the most important thing the Britishers took away from us. That is: our culture. I find Indians aping the West. And I want people to see the reality and accept themselves for what they really are and not become slaves of western thinking and mentality. By doing this, not only will we grow confident as a people, but also set an example for the coming generations. My desire at present is to become an engineer. And once I have established a strong financial base, I want to try out as many possibilities for the good of the nation. I would want to explore new avenues, meet new people to have a different perspective to life and live it to the fullest.
Saanvi Vasdev
10 years, Grade 5, Amity International School, Noida
I dream of my country as a prosperous, popular, safe and peaceful place. Since we see and read so much about unclean and polluted environment in most cities and towns, I very much want that India becomes a clean and green country. Apart from having healthy citizens, we will also attract tourists from across the world, which will help build our economy. To see my country grow further, I shall take up a job and become self-reliant. My dream is to become independent and do social service for the needy.
Vihaan Saxena
7 years, Grade 2, Amity International School, New Delhi
My dream for my country is to become a superpower. When I grow up, I want to become a scientist. I would work on invention of clean energy sources. I would also build a spaceship that would help me travel to deep space and explore various other galaxies. In my spare time, I would also create a time machine to see how people lived in ancient times in India and recover lost knowledge and science. And when I wake up from my dreams, I shall go to school and attend classes to learn and work hard to fulfil my dreams!
Faiza Anwar Khan
12, Sixth Standard, Loretto Convent, Chembur, Mumbai
"I'm fond of all my subjects in school but English is my favourite. That is why I dream of becoming an English teacher. English is a language that helps us to communicate with people from any country. There are so many TV channels in English which give a lot of information. Though I speak Hindi at home, and my national language is Hindi, I love chatting with my friends and brother in English.
"My hometown is Aurangabad and the only other places that I have visited is Hyderabad and Mahableshwar. I hope to see many other places in India when I grow up. My hobby is playing hockey, music, dance and applying 'mehndi' (henna) on my hands.
"I live in Mumbai which is crowded and people do not take care of it. It is my dream to see Mumbai and India become clean and where lovely plants and trees are grown everywhere. I also hope and dream that every Indian child goes to school and every person is honest."
Hari Murthy
12, Seventh Standard, Our Lady of Perpetual School, Chembur, Mumbai
"After I finish school, I have decided to take up hotel management since I am impressed by my cousin who is studying and working in this field. My dream is to become a chef in a big hotel and then run my own restaurant after gaining experience. I always help my mother in cooking and my favourite dish is paneer tikka.
"My dream is to see big buildings being built in India so that every Indian has a nice house to live in. I also wish my country becomes clean since it is in a bad state now. In the place where I live, people throw garbage near my house. I do not want to see people going to the toilet in the open. "I enjoy playing football with my friends and watching Tamil movies, especially in which actor Surya is the hero."
George Mathew
Age 14, Class 8, Mar Athanasius International School, Kothamangalam, Kerala
I dream of a tobacco-free India. Our country is losing too many people to cancer and other diseases caused by tobacco usage. This is a health hazard that we can and should put an end to. When I walk around, I can see shops selling tobacco and a lot of people smoking or chewing tobacco. This is avoidable and we must work towards a tobacco-free country.
I have not firmly decided on my dream, though I have a few. One thing that I wish to do is to join the Indian Foreign Service. Being part of that service, I will be able to spread the message about India around the world and influence people everywhere to contribute to India's growth.
Tiya Elizabeth Jose
Class 10, Age 15, The Village International School, Thodupuzha, Kerala
I dream of an India where women are empowered and are secure. They should be able to move around with safety and security. India must eradicate its poverty. In Kerala I do not see much of it, but I am aware of the poverty in different parts of the country. Our nation must also have clean cities, and good politicians.
I would like to make enough money so that I can help a lot of people. I dream of doing charitable work. I have come across people who need help. There are a lot of orphans and others in our country who need assistance. They too have their dreams in life and I want to help them fulfil those dreams.
Amisha Rajshree
"I have seen the rural populace in the grip of utter poverty. During my visits to the villages, I came across the poor people somehow filling up their empty belly and survive. Balanced food was not even the back of their mind.
Rampant corruption is yet another problem gripping the country. I have heard people and even read in newspapers giving bribes to officials for even small works, like for issuance of birth certificates or availing the old age pension. I want to fight against corruption and poverty. They are blots on the face of my country.
As for myself, I want to become an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer to executive these plans. A district magistrate is in charge of a district having enough power to executive the welfare plans. It's strange that even seven decades after independence, the poor country men are yet to get the benefits of government's welfare schemes with full freedom.
Becoming an IAS officer also involves a lot of prestige and glory in the society and I want to achieve this task. None from my family has qualified for this job.
Kumari Ishika, Class seven: My country still lags behind in matter of technology as compared to foreign nations and I want to develop many facilities for the country men. I want to improve the current system which is not in sync with the changing times.
Although many technological changes have taken place in the past few decades but there are still many areas which needs proper attention. Good books still remain out of reach of poor students since they don't have enough money to buy. Moreover, we can't purchase just every book. I wish to develop apps which provide all the study materials free of cost.
As for myself, I want to become an IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) engineer. None in my family is an IIT engineer although my grandfather worked in engineering field. Also, IIT engineers are in great demand across the globe and I love to work for top companies like Google and Facebook which have attractive salary packages.

I was messing around with my friends and landed on my shoulder. My mom thought I fractured it, so she sent me to go see Dr. Roberts. Just by asking me questions and feeling/moving my shoulder and collar bone, he told me that I had a slight separation and a sprained muscle. He immensely helped me through my rehab. I highly recommend this chiropractor.
I was having back and neck pain accompanied by headaches for months. Ibuprofin was no longer helpful at all. One tripbto Dr. Matt for an adjustment, and i felt so much better. After a few more adjustments and continued maintainence, I am back to normal and feeling great. I've been going to chiropractors for over 30 years and Dr. Matt is truly a leader in his field.
I have never felt better!!!


After visiting many cosmetic dental practices over a period of 20 years, this patient was led to believe that there were no treatment options available to improve his smile.
After carrying out periodontal treatment we were able to restore this patient's smile by fitting 14 crowns and 2 bridges. The treatment time was 18 months and was successfully completed in 2009. Note we discussed with the patient from the outset the visibility of crown margins (periodontal considerations). The photos show before, after and 6 yrs later.
This patient was recommended to the practice having very little hope in achieving a better smile. After discussing many treatment options we were able to restore her smile using clear aligners and cosmetic composite restorations. The treatment time was 9 months.
This patient was informed that the only option for her in order to achieve a satisfactory smile was extraction of her central incisor teeth and a combination of implant and orthodontic treatment. We carried out periodontal treatment and controlled tooth movements in order to close the gap without extracting any teeth. We completed this treatment in 2012. We would like to close the gap further, however she now resides in Florida, USA and only attends the practice every 9 months.
This patient attended the practice for a routine examination and was led to believe that in order to close his gaps between his teeth he would require surgery. We successfully treated this patient and closed his gaps completely using controlled clear aligners in 3 stages. There was no need for surgery.

Skateboard designs, graphic novels, tapestries all part of unique artistic exhibitions at University Libraries
Skateboard designs graphic novels tapestries all part of unique artistic exhibitions at University
VERMILLION, S.D. -- Four unique artistic exhibitions are on display at University Libraries at the University of South Dakota now through May 4.
The exhibits at the I.D. Weeks Library, courtesy of the University Art Galleries, are "Corroborations 2012," located in the second floor exhibition cases; tapestry weavings by award-winning South Dakota tapestry artist Grete Bodøgaard are at the University Libraries Gallery in the Academic Commons; "Getting Graphic," an exhibit of graphic novels, is on the west side of the second floor; and "SkateCreate" is featured at the Student Gallery on the west side of the second floor.
"Corroborations 2012" pairs USD visual arts students with poetry majors and the exhibit showcases their collaborative work while Bodøgaard's exhibition highlights Norwegian tapestry techniques dating back to 1200 A.D. but the subjects in her work are contemporary. Bodøgaard received the South Dakota Governor's Award in the Arts for Creative Achievement in 2003. "Getting Graphic" is an exhibit that was created by USD Education Librarian Abby Moore and features popular genres of graphic novels, including superhero stories, manga, crime, sci-fi/fantasy and non-fiction as well as graphic novels that were adapted to the big screen.
"SkateCreate," which received funding through a USD Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities grant, is an exhibition of skateboard designs created by students in the First-Year Seminar class – a freshman art introductory course. Students participating in the project purchased blank skateboard decks and art materials, and chose a specific design technique for their skateboards (painting, carving or printing). With this project, students were involved in the grant writing process, exhibit assembly and pushed their creativity into mediums they had not explored before.
Download a photo from "SkateCreate."
All of the exhibits are free and open to the public. A campus reception honoring the artists is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. on Friday, April 20 at the University Libraries. For more information about these or upcoming exhibitions, please contact Alison Erazmus, director of the University Art Galleries, at Alison.Erazmus@usd.edu or call at (605) 677-3177; or contact Danielle Loftus, University Libraries Fine Arts Librarian, at Danielle.Loftus@usd.edu or (605) 677-5123.

Comment on: The big question: would UKIP's plan to train nurses outside university harm the NHS?
The only credential I can find for UKIP's choice of health spokesperson is that she once appeared in ITV's Peak Practice.
As is pointed out above, the full report explains that the striking-off order was not because of this one drug incident in isolation but because of other professional conduct issues and the nurse's lack of insight into her practice and conduct. The senior nurse's involvement was limited to this one incident.
The misconduct hearing was not only relating to the administration error but other conduct issues, including sleeping on duty and posting a photograph on Facebook that showed the baby without his parents' consent. The NMC ruling described her practice as both "wide-ranging misconduct" and demonstrating "her lack of insight". You can read the full hearing on the NMC website.
The track record of local authority commissioning of private sector social care is patchy at best! Reducing care to inflexible, task-orientated, blocks of time and unit costs. Paying unregistered carers peanuts and requiring them to fund their own travel between clients. Could this be the future for community nursing if £2bn of services are tendered out in the next five years?
Joining the nursing profession is a hard-earned privilege, not an entitlement and not a free-for-all. Just because somebody wants to be a nurse, does not meant they should be!
Nursing is a hugely demanding role, if it is done well. That includes a large practical component, but practical skills are nothing more than learnt technical tasks if there is no independent body of knowledge behind them. That is what distinguishes a profession from a technical, semi-skilled occupation. Nursing has moved on from the days when it colluded with medicine as an obedient, subserviant workforce of single young women and the dedicated ageing spinsters!
Widening the entry gate and reducing standards because you want to bump up the numbers and give everyone a shot is not going to help anyone! You cannot say that on the one hand you want to open the doors to everyone with a burning, romantic desire to be a nurse, and then complain that the end product is nurses who scrape through training and go on to struggle to practice independently, with the requisite knowledge, skill and confidence!
At least the decision has now been made. We will move on and the nursing graduate will become the norm. Soon enough we will have something else to in-fight about. Post-graduate education and training will become the expected pathway for specialisation and progression, just like every other profession on earth. Maybe we will start to argue that our medical student colleagues should go back to the old style of training, working 80 hours a week and not spending so much time learning how to communicate effectively; or those overeducated surgeons, spending too much time pioneering minimally-invasive techniques when they could be doing it the good old-fashioned way? Perhaps not.


We are waiting on the color here in Northern Lower Michigan. Most of the snow has gone, some still lingers on the ski hills. The Tunnel of Trees is still rather brown. The Trillium are nearly in bloom, and the other flowers and plant life are starting to show that sign of life which has been buried under the dullness of the winter. Below, M-119 in the Tunnel of Trees is still in the phases of early spring.


Fortunately, it is possible to break your contract. Notify the seller that you want to dissolve the contract. For example, a number of contracts allows you to back down if you can not get a mortgage, but if you did not submit it on time, you may have violated the stipulations of the contract. Most real estate contracts are conditioned on the buyer having the ability to secure a mortgage within a specific period of time.
Although the contracts are similar, they come in several stages of the procedure and commit it to somewhat different obligations. Then describe what you are doing. Real estate legal contracts are a crucial part of the real estate business.
The contracts are called the offer to obtain the contract and the purchase and sale agreement. For example, it could be said that if the buyer decides at the last minute not to buy the house, then the seller can keep the security deposit. In general, most real estate contracts have to be in writing.
If you are working with a real estate agent or lawyer, the person representing you must write and deliver the letter to the seller or the seller's representative. In reality, you do not even need to involve a real estate agent since you can work out a legal agreement directly with the other party involved in the transaction. A great real estate agent can find large potential investments and owners trying to buy their properties. A real estate agent or title company can offer you a purchase contract and other ways in which you want to complete a real estate transaction.
If you are a broker, a real estate lawyer is vital to protect your property sale. The real estate contract lawyer will help address the great likelihood of problems in order to keep the agreement stable. The Areal property contract lawyer is, in fact, the ideal person to make sure that no contract is correct, valid and can not be withdrawn without result.
However, the sale of real estate is often a complex legal transaction that must be filed in accordance with applicable state laws. The sale of real estate is also a legal transaction. When it comes from the sale or purchase of a property, there are many steps along the way that can cause a transaction to fail.
The first step if you prefer to break a seller's contract is to review the situation with your real estate agent. Some contracts allow you to cancel the transaction, but only at the price of losing your deposit. Real estate contracts offer protection for your residential or commercial property. Meanwhile, it could help you understand a couple of things about real estate contracts. Canceling a real estate contract may have consequences for which you may not be prepared. Breaking the real estate contract after you have put the money in custody means that you can loose that money, which can be a considerable amount depending on the cost of the house.
Some forms of agreements must be made in writing. Regardless of the type of contract, most real estate agreements involve substantial residential or commercial property value. The contract of listing with a real estate agent, the sale agreement between a buyer and the seller, and a builder who agrees to create a certain type of house for a certain amount of money are all contracts.

Red Sox sign Eduardo Rodriguez to a one-year contract
Bill Koch
The Providence Journal
The Boston Red Sox settled one piece of arbitration business prior to the Wednesday night deadline.
Boston and starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez have agreed to a one-year deal for the 2021 season. USA Today and Rodriguez's agency, Octagon, confirmed the news on Tuesday morning.
Rodriguez missed all of last season while experiencing a complicated recovery from COVID-19. He developed myocarditis, an inflammation of his heart muscle, and was prohibited from performing any sort of physical activity. Rodriguez threw a pair of bullpen sessions at Summer Camp before his condition was discovered through a routine MRI, and he was immediately shut down.
"Eddie has ramped up activity as planned," Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said in November. "It's early, but things look really good so far.
"This is a little bit of a different path. We have to stay flexible. But so far he's doing as well as you could possibly hope."
Rodriguez's deal is for $8.3 million, the same amount he received after a breakout 2019 campaign. He topped 200 innings pitched and 200 strikeouts for the first time in his career, finishing sixth in the American League Cy Young Award voting. The Red Sox were 26-8 when Rodriguez took the ball and 58-70 otherwise, missing the playoffs one year after steamrolling to a World Series title.
Rodriguez slots into an uncertain rotation that figures to return only Nathan Eovaldi for Opening Day. Chris Sale (left elbow) will rehab from Tommy John surgery into the summer months, Martin Perez's club option was declined and right-handers Tanner Houck and Nick Pivetta combined for a total of five starts. Ryan Weber and Matt Hall have been outrighted to Triple-A Pawtucket, two members of the starting five at the outset of last year's 24-36 slog to last place in the A.L. East.
Barring a contract extension, Rodriguez will hit free agency for the first time in 2022. Matt Barnes is also in his final year of arbitration eligibility, with Boston poised to enter the process with as many as six players. Kevin Plawecki is in his third year of arbitration while Rafael Devers, Ryan Brasier, Austin Brice and Pivetta are all eligible for the first time.
Boston has until 8 p.m. Wednesday to tender contracts to its arbitration-eligible players.


Sarah Esdaile: I've always wanted children more than anyone I know. We met quite late, I was in my late 30s, and we were trying straight away. We did a round of IVF and it failed. One feels very guilty on behalf of one's partner. I used to look around in the streets and see women with three, four, five children and think "what is wrong with me?" I went to see my doctor and he said to me your eggs are shot, and you need to forget it or adopt or use donor eggs. And at that point, donor eggs felt so Jerry Springer to me, it wasn't something I knew a lot about, so there was a huge long drumroll after that, where I tried around with my sister's eggs, because I was very hooked on the genetic thing.
Amanda Segal, International Patient Liaison: Shady Grove Fertility, this is Amanda Segal, how can I help you?
Sarah Esdaile: And I called Amanda, at Shady Grove, the night that my IVF failed, and I was hysterical, besides myself, could barely string a sentence together, and she was so empathetic, and so positive, and so confident that I could have a child in a way that I have never experienced before. You know, all the injections and the tests and the flights and the choosing a donor, and all of those steps are secondary to the mental leap of going, I want a child and I'm going to step up that fight. So I identify with the state of despair in which I see a lot of couples and I have a huge urge to reassure them that this is their darkest moment. And I also really applaud them for having the courage to come and find out more about donor egg treatment.
The UK was very quickly ruled out by us as an option. There are laws about anonymity that mean that someone could walk up in 18 years' time and say to my daughter, I am your biological mother. As a result, very few women want to donate their eggs and very few women want to receive eggs. And obviously there is a booming business in Spain – you have absolutely no information at all about the donor, also I am very pale skinned, so why set myself up with a darker skinned child than myself, um and finally I have quite a few friends who have been to Spain and who tell me there is a bit of a chaotic manana attitude there, which may be very charming in a tapas bar, but not necessarily when you are broken with fertility treatment. And the language barrier was of concern with me, I didn't want to be going through such an important delicate process when the nuance of what I was saying was not being correctly understood.
Once one gets to the point of donor IVF, one has been bruised and I certainly wanted pastoral care as well as clinical excellence, Dr. Levy encompassed both of those things for me and for hundreds of patients, both in the states and all over the world. The statistics are extraordinary, if a little overwhelming, very very high success rates. They are very organized, they're very rigorous. My nurse in America often get back to me quicker than my nurse in Harley Street did. They offer a Shared Risk Programme, which means once they accept you onto that programme, they are essentially putting their money where their mouth is and they have faith in your ability to get pregnant and have a child and they go through that journey with you, including the financial risk. And I found that very reassuring. There are only two visits to the states required, Washington's a really great city to visit anyway,. Yeah, it's a really overwhelming day, but a fantastic one because it means that when you go back for your embryo transfer, you're not going into a strange place, and meeting strange people across the other side of the world. Um, so we had an hour WITH Michael Levy which is unheard of. I've never spent more than 5 or 10 minutes with an IVF doctor before that. My husband gave his sperm sample, Dr. Levy does a dummy embryo transfer so that there are no kind of surprises with your anatomy when you have the actual one. And we had a meeting with people about money, so that was all very transparent. A look at the donor database, somebody advising us through how one makes that very difficult choice. I wanted somebody educated at the college level, I wanted someone who looked faintly like me, I wanted to look into the eyes of my donor and know I could be your friend, you look warm and kind. Well it's sort of – I'm gonna cry now, obviously – its extraordinary being a mom, and I honestly never thought I would be. And even though she's 20 months old now, I still can't believe I have her. And I feel like I had a very rich, fulfilled happy life before. But looking back now, it feels like a life in black and white and now it's in Technicolor.

Actually I want to hide a row when the checkbox within the row is
  checked and my codes are not working.

There seems to be multiple issues with your code
$('input[type=checkbox]').on("change",function() //change() changed to "change"
{
    $(this).closest("tr").hide(); //observe changes in this line
});

Explanation

*

*unless change() returns "change", your event handler will not be invoked on change event

*You don't need to handle if(this.checked) since once your checkbox's value is changed, it won't be visible

*Just find the closest tr and hide the same. $("#test tr").attr("hide", true); will simply add a hide attribute to all rows

(Yonhap Feature) Eco-friendly autos finding strong foothold in S. Korea
All News 09:00 December 07, 2018
By Park Sang-soo
SEOUL, Dec. 7. (Yonhap) -- Han Jung-su, a 30-something office worker in Seoul, arrives at his office with a smile. The first thing he does after a 40-minute drive in morning rush hour is check his car's fuel mileage to figure out how much money he's saved.
"At first, I hesitated to opt for an electric car because I had been saving up to buy a petrol-fueled foreign brand. I have since come to realize that my decision was right," says the owner of Kia Motors Corp.'s Niro electric vehicle.
The father with one child estimated that he saved up to 250,000 won (US$220) per month on fuel costs after using the electric vehicle, which can travel up to 380 kilometers on a single charge.
"An electric car, I think, is a viable option for those who want to experience the latest trend and are conscious of fuel prices," he notes.
Han is among local consumers who are on the hunt for eco-friendly vehicles that take the sting out of petrol prices and are relatively easy for owners in terms of maintenance.
Eco-friendly vehicles usually refer to hybrids, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and pure electric vehicles (EVs) that use less or no fossil fuels.
Owners of eco-friendly cars, EVs in particular, hail the sheer pleasure of driving a pure electric car, which offer substantial environmental benefits.
"Among others, many EV owners seem to be conscious of fuel mileage and the environment, and that's why they opt to buy them," says a Hyundai Motor Co. representative.
Hyundai is South Korea's No. 1 carmaker and sister company to Kia.
With carmakers taking flak for cheating on the fuel efficiency of vehicles, BMW's engine fires and worries about higher gas prices, an increasing number of consumers here are turning to eco-friendly cars.
Fat state subsidies are also serving as an incentive for consumers who worry about hefty price tags as the government remains committed to nurturing the environment-friendly auto market as part of efforts to reduce emissions.
Industry data show that sales of eco-friendly cars in the country jumped 26 percent in the first 10 months of the year from 2017 on the back of the introduction of new models and strong demand from mileage-conscious consumers.
A total of 95,410 eco-friendly vehicles were sold in South Korea in the January-October period.
The total number of such cars sold more than tripled in four years from 28,807 in 2013 to 97,813 in 2017. The tally will surely surpass the 100,000 mark this year.
The proportion of eco-friendly cars among all auto sales also grew from 2.2 percent in 2013 to 6.4 percent last year, according to the data. The market share may rise further to around 7 percent this year.
What is noteworthy is that while hybrids still constituted the bulk of sales, demand for EVs is widely expected to exceed the 25,000 mark for the first time this year, reflecting growing consumer preference for zero-emission cars.
In the case of electric cars, sales reached 24,300 units in the first 10 months of the year, already surpassing last year's total of 13,500.
There have been a slew of eco-friendly autos released here by local and foreign carmakers. But recently, all electric versions are more available than before.
In April, Hyundai Motor's released the electric version of its Kona subcompact SUV. GM Korea has already introduced the Chevrolet Bolt EV, and Kia Motors unveiled the Niro EV earlier this year.
Data showed that the sales of Hyundai Motor's Kona EV version topped the 10,000 mark during the seven-month period.
The automaker's other EV, the Ioniq Electric, also saw its sales top 5,000 during the cited period. GM Korea has sold most of the 4,700 all-electric Bolt electric vehicles allotted to South Korea this year.
Industry watchers say demand for eco-friendly cars, and electric cars in particular, will remain firm down the road because of technology advances and price competitiveness, despite a planned cut in government subsidies.
In particular, technology advances and expanded charging facilities have reduced the risk of "range anxiety" -- the fear that an electric car's battery will run out before the vehicle can be recharged.
Currently, the latest EVs can travel 200 to 400 kilometers per charge, but the range is forecast to go up sharply going forward.
"As demand for fossil fuel-powered cars wanes, global carmakers are expanding the lines for eco-friendly cars," says Lim Eung-young, an analyst at Samsung Securities. "Also, the government is working to install more charging stations and related facilities in order to boost electric vehicles."
Currently, some 50,000 EV charging stations are available in South Korea, and its number is expected to further rise down the road.
The South Korean government is also moving to help the eco-friendly auto market. It said it plans to invest 2.6 trillion won by 2022 to develop hydrogen-fueled cars and related infrastructure, boosting sales of eco-friendly vehicles.
It aims to supply about 16,000 hydrogen vehicles and 310 charging stations nationwide by 2022 to tackle air pollution problems and promote next-generation cars.

The Colour Works was founded in 2003 in Bournemouth and grew quickly, taking on a number of associates from a variety of different backgrounds and spread around the country to deliver its learning and development solutions to its clients. A traditional "hub and spoke" model established itself whereby all operations – marketing and sales, customer relations, administration, product development, quality – were all firmly controlled by the centre, with associates bought in to assist with delivery when required.
Growth hit a plateau around the start of the financial crash of 2008 and it would have been easy to blame it on that, but MD Giles Miskin was convinced the fault lay elsewhere. Although the market was tough, the business had such a small percentage of the whole that massive opportunity for continued growth still existed.
The real causes of the stasis were lack of leadership (MD too busy in the business), lack of clarity around central roles and responsibilities and a faulty business model that created an exhausted hub (trying to cover all the bases), disaffected spokes (isolated and underutilised talent) and under-serviced clients.
Giles consequently worked with his direct employees to clarify roles and agree the strategy to change the business model, the central tenet of which was a re-engagement with associates.
Like the plumber whose tap at home leaks, we were at risk of preaching about the benefits of "team" without being able to achieve it ourselves. But how can a "hub and spoke" model, with hugely talented and fiercely independent professional associates, become an interdependent team, motivated by a common vision, set of values and goal? Especially when we only manage to get full attendance at our team days 4 or 5 times a year?
We decided to run our own diagnostic – the Team Performance Indicator (TPI) – on ourselves to highlight critical elements of team-working in need of attention.
The TPI was run twice more over the next 6 months charting our progress and each set of results scrutinised for improvements as well as blockers.
The clarity of roles at the centre has meant far quicker and more robust decision-making.
Using Simon Sinek's Why/How/What model, we identified what knits us together and the values that are central to how we want to work, both internally and with clients.
Communication, not solely driven by the hub, is at an all-time high, with everyone prepared to ask for and give help when required.
Client relationships are longer, deeper and more transformational.
The breadth of our client offerings continues to grow.
Sales are over 40% up year on year.
No necessity to be surprised that cialis cost always changes its price. It is almost like a cost of cialis can be compared with cash which does not waste time.

Cash-strapped college reveals shock deficit on the same day insolvency regime goes live
Jude Burke
Thu 31st Jan 2019, 22.20
A cash-strapped college's 2017/18 accounts have revealed a £5 million deficit, on the same day that the insolvency regime came into force.
The massive shortfall at North Hertfordshire College is 20 times higher than was budgeted at the beginning of the year, and twice what was predicted just two months before the end of the year.
As a result, the college received £2.5 million in bailout funding in just three months, and submitted a last-minute application for an unspecified sum from the restructuring facility.
A new approach has been taken to managing our cash position ahead of the implementation of the new insolvency regime
An FE commissioner report, triggered by the college's request for exceptional financial support in September which also prompted a financial notice to improve from the Education and Skills Funding Agency, is understood to be expected imminently.
The college "generated a deficit in the year of £5.03 million" compared with a £713,000 surplus in 2016/17, while its income fell from a little over £30 million to nearly £24 million in 2017/18.
The deficit includes a £4.3 million overspend compared to income, and a £713,000 loss on the sale of a property.
The college "struggled to meet the budgeted revenue targets set, a situation caused by several factors but most notably the significant nationwide slowdown in apprenticeship starts following the introduction of the apprenticeship levy," the accounts said.
Education and Skills Funding Agency figures show North Hertfordshire had 890 starts in 2017/18, down 29 per cent on the previous year's total of 1,260, and down 66 per cent on the 2,590 starts in 2015/16.
The college received £1 million in exceptional financial support in September, and a further £500,000 in November, while "approval for a further £1 million has been granted and is due in December 2018".
Meanwhile, an application to the restructuring facility in September has been endorsed by the FE commissioner, Richard Atkins, whose team visited the college in the same month.
The college also plans to "secure a significant cash injection" by selling "surplus land", although it was unable to tell FE Week how much this was expected to raise, citing commercial confidentiality.
"A new approach has been taken in 2018/19 to managing our cash position ahead of the implementation of the new insolvency regime for colleges," the accounts said.
Nonetheless, the principal risk facing the college is that "we are not able to maintain our target level of cash reserves in light of the new (sector wide) insolvency regime", which came into effect on January 31 and which will allow colleges to go bust for the first time.
"We are now looking forwards," a college spokesperson told FE Week.
In addition to the apprenticeship slowdown, the college's recent improvements – which saw its Ofsted grade increase to 'good' in November 2017 – "required considerable investment", she said.
"We have robust recovery plan in place, we are making good progress towards implementing all the commissioner's recommendations and we are confident about our future."
Minutes from the college's board meetings show how the deficit spiralled over the course of the year.
In June 2017 "the proposal was for a budget showing a small loss" for the coming year which the senior management team "was confident could be managed".
We have robust recovery plan in place, we are making good progress
Four months later the minutes reveal there was a "risk that this forecast deficit would increase" as part of a "full reforecast" that was "in hand" after Hart Learning and Development – the college's apprenticeship arm – "failed to hit the forecast surplus in 2016/17".
By February 2018 the forecast deficit had increased to £1.5 million.
The original deficit had been £250,000 "but it had become clear towards the end of 2017 that this was optimistic".
The June minutes show the forecast deficit had gone up yet again, to £2.5 million.
The college claims the final £5 million deficit is not comparable. The £2.5 million was "from the management accounts which covers the operational performance of the college only" while the £5 million includes "subsidiary accounts and several non-operational (and non-cash) balance sheet adjustments such as losses on disposal of assets".
The fall in apprenticeship numbers and rising deficit are among a number of challenges the college had to deal with in 2017/18.
Its former principal, Matt Hamnett, resigned with immediate effect in November 2017, shortly after the departure of the James Sowray, the managing director of Hart Learning and Development.
Board minutes from the following month report on the outcome of a review into a whistleblowing incident involving Hart, in which they say "income had been forecast which would not now be received" and would lead to a "review of the management structure and culture in the business".
Mr Hamnett, whose £294,000 salary made him the highest paid principal in 2016/17, received £74,000 payment in lieu of notice in 2017/18 according to the accounts.
Since leaving the college Mr Hamnett has worked as a consultant and authored a study "to understand and offer some reflections on the transformation of FE colleges which are not performing to the level that their students, business customers and communities should expect."
Commissioned by the Further Education Trust for Leadership and published today, the study is called 'Beating the odds, and the system'.

The character has stuck with Wilmurt ever since she played Olga in "Yes Yes to Moscow," a devised piece with longtime partner Mark Jackson ten years ago. "Mark and I went to Germany, and we made this piece with a couple of German artists," Wilmurt recalls. "It was as if the sisters made it to Moscow, but right before they entered they were in some kind of holding pattern where they just couldn't take the final step. It was like a dance theater piece. We did it at the San Francisco International Arts Festival in 2008, too. And the character kind of stuck with me. I thought I want to do more with her.".

Red Thread Adventures: Flipping Urals!
The day started slowly. After an hour troubleshooting their broken headlamp, Pat and Guy realized the rat's nest that is Ural wiring wasn't about to yield. Eva was running a bit rough, but started soon enough. Björn and Rico's bike, however, was acting up and mis-firing on one of its two cylinders. We left with the intention of reaching the next major town and a mechanic. About 40 kilometers out and 20 minutes into Björn's second repair, we split into two teams and Zaya and I hung back with he and Rico.
Light snow had dusted the icy road making it wildly slick. The treacherous conditions presented us with a whole new lesson in throttle handling. Now a tiny bit too much oomph meant a 360 degree spinout (which can be fun). The ruts were smaller, but trickier. Struggling for control we hit one at the wrong angle and I rolled on the throttle a little heavily. The bike snapped to the right and when the sidecar wheel caught on a patch of snow we summarily flipped over. I went down first and hit my head and the bike landed on top of us. Looking up I did a quick inventory. Pain? No. Twisted limbs? No. Breathing? Yes. Bleeding? No. Zaya - you okay? Yes. That out of the way the next thing I noticed was petrol and oil leaking out - crap - have to turn this thing over or we'll be stuck. Pushing against the sidecar felt oddly soft and I realized that I was pushing on Zaya. By this time Rico and Björn had pulled up. With their help we managed to wriggle out and together put Eva back on her tyres before she lost all her fuel.
There are three main things they teach you in motorcycle training school. Don't drink and drive, always wear a helmet, and make sure that you are in the right frame of mind. Two out of three won't do. I was sober and wearing a full face, DOT approved helmet, but realized that in my frustration with the day's late start I was over cranking things in the conditions. Rico said later that the crash looked really 'awful' and fortunately neither of us was seriously hurt.

When one space colony declared its independence from United Nations Earth, the devastating 7th Space War, an all-out war between Earth and space, resulted. The UNE responded to the Space Revolutionary Army with mobile suits, called Gundams. However, the SRA forces played their trump card and dropped hundreds of space colonies onto the Earth, plunging the planet into a seven-year-long nuclear winter. The UNE collapsed, but the SRA was unable to invade the Earth in the aftermath of the colony drop. Fifteen years have passed. The year is now After War 0015, and a New UNE has sprung up on Earth to restore order. In space, the colonial leaders have been rebuilding their own forces as well. By chance, fifteen-year-old Garrod Ran has discovered an old UNE mobile suit, the Gundam X, and now he uses it to help out the Vulture ship Freeden in its struggle to keep the powers that be from repeating the mistakes of the past.

Preaching the virtues of Linux
The business community's resistance isn't holding back Linux desktop adoption, says Linux expert Peter van der Linden. It's the development community that is slowing things down. Van der Linden describes the app gap and other barriers in this interview.
MiMi Yeh, Assistant editor
Peter van der Linden is on a crusade to educate the masses about the virtues of open source. His message can be persuasive -- the Linux evangelist boasts that he even coaxed his 80-year-old father away from a lifelong relationship with Windows.
An engineering manager at PalmSource Inc., the maker of the handheld operating system Palm OS, van der Linden has attracted the attention of the Linux world by publishing several books on open system software. His latest, Peter van der Linden's Guide to Linux, helps Windows users make the move to Linux.
At the Linux Desktop Summit in San Diego, van der Linden spoke with SearchOpenSource.com's MiMi Yeh about why applications are key to bridging the consumer gap and how Freespire, a new Linux distribution, will attract users to Linux.
What Linux desktop adoption trends do you see now?
Peter van der Linden: I think we're in a growth phase. People have been saying 'this year is the year of the desktop' since 2000, at least. There have obviously been tremendous barriers to that.
I'm really encouraged by Linspire opening up a free version of their product [Freespire]. I think that it's one of the most capable desktop distros out there -- if not the most capable. It's going to make it possible for Linux advocates to put a free copy on their grandmother's PC and have it be usable.
I think the applications have to keep coming. Support for hardware has to keep coming. Wireless is still a problem. I have yet to see a reliable USB Wi-Fi connector in Linux or in any distro.
What are some immediate barriers you see preventing the average business worker from using the Linux desktop?
Van der Linden: The biggest barrier, bar none, is that the whole world has gone with a different standard. It's like Betamax versus VHS. [Linux is] the Betamax. It's technically better, and yet it's not the standard that the world has chosen. This is why I see applications as being the crowbar that pries open the clamshell of Windows bigotry.
I personally converted my dad from Windows. He'd been a Windows user forever. He's 80 years old. He's not interested in changing anything, but he was having so many security problems such as viruses, spyware and adware. He came to me one day and said 'Pete, I don't feel like my PC is my own anymore. My password has been changed out from under me. I didn't do it. The modem light blinks when I'm not using my PC. I think the modem is being used.'
His PC had been taken over by a bot network. I switched him [over to Linux] and he is happy as a clam.
Where do you think applications need to go for Linux to come into the mainstream?
Van der Linden: The No. 1 thing I would like to see is commercial companies, like [Intuit Inc.'s] TurboTax, offering Linux versions of their software. It's probably premature to ask for that. They're going to want to see the money and the volume first before they start playing to that market.
What I'd really like to see is for OpenOffice to become more polished. Why do my documents get relayed out when I transfer them in OpenOffice? I wrote my presentation on a Mac, originally in OpenOffice. When I uploaded it to my Linux laptop, everything was out of alignment. The font sizes, styles and graphics were different so I had to go back through the whole talk to fix it up. Why would that be? It's OpenOffice. It needs to be more compatible with itself.
How are applications a barrier to the Linux desktop?
Van der Linden: The barriers to application programmers on Linux are very high. If you want to produce graphical applications, you've got to learn either QT or GTK, a complete toolkit, libraries and the desktop environment.
There's a very high entry cost for programmers who want to give to the Linux effort, and I'm interested in lowering that cost.
What do you think is the next step for the Linux business desktop?
Van der Linden: I'd like to see more wins like the city of Munich, the high school in Chicago. I'm looking for big public wins where there will be an IT director who can make a commitment, make it stick and, best of all, prove it's successful for their users.
Do you think Linux can compete with Microsoft in the consumer market?
Van der Linden: There's no question that Linux is capable. Take a distro like Linspire. They've gone to some effort to make all the codecs work so you can play Flash content, watch DVDs and run your QuickTime movies. It's every bit as capable.
Microsoft has been horrible for our industry. There used to be 20 word processors in the early 1980s all battling it out with 20 programming teams employed. Now, it's a monoculture. I think Apple is doing a great job. The Apple products and design are exciting. I see them as being a big winner.
What proprietary applications do you think are the best targets to replace with open source software?
Van der Linden: Get rid of Internet Explorer. It's such a virus propagator and an avenue for spyware. Get Firefox up on there. It's a great application, and it just keeps getting better. It has wonderful plug-in architecture.
I'm a news junkie. I like to read a lot of political news and stay abreast of the situation. I'm registered at many newspaper sites. Firefox has a plug-in that means you don't have to register. It has a database for The New York Times. When you go to The New York Times Web site and it challenges you for a password, Firefox can automatically fill that in for that site as well as others. It's a micro-niche for inventive programmers.
How can IT managers introduce open source software to their enterprises?
Van der Linden: You start by shifting the applications first, so you get people using a safer browser. You sell it on the basis of safety. Then you get some people changed over to OpenOffice. You can't do that for everyone because the macros don't carry over.
If your finance department is using Excel macros, you're toast. However, you can change most users over on the application side. Once you've done that and consolidated that with safer, cheaper equally good applications, you can swap out the operating system.
You've got to spoon-feed users. You've got to take little steps you can be successful in.
In what areas of technology do you think Windows is stronger than Linux?
Van der Linden: There is only one area that Microsoft has ever won in, and that's marketing. Their technology sucks. That's not just my opinion, that's the opinion of every technical person who's looked at it in detail.
The "blue screen of death" got its name from Microsoft for a reason. They're not that good at writing software.

Battle of Rastan (2011)
A battle for control of Rastan, a city of 60,000 residents in Homs Governorate, Syria, occurred from 27 September to 1 October 2011. In late September, there were reports of numerous Syrian Army defections in the area, following which the Free Syrian Army took control of Rastan. After a four-day battle, the city was retaken by the Syrian Army.

BackgroundEdit
Main article: Siege of Rastan and Talbiseh
On 28 May 2011, after major protests, the Syrian Army launched an operation in Rastan and the neighboring town of Talbiseh, which resulted in the suppression of anti-government protests and numerous deaths. The Syrian Army met some armed opposition during the operation,[10] but had gained control of the city by 4 June.
BattleEdit
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (February 2012)
In late September, there were reports of many Syrian Army defections in Rastan, and the Free Syrian Army claimed to have destroyed 17 armoured vehicles during clashes in the city,[11] using RPGs and booby traps.[12] The assault was also, the opposition claimed, supported by Syrian Air Force jets.[1]
On 1 October, the Syrian Army took control of Rastan, killing 120 civilians and opposition soldiers according to opposition sources[13] and arresting 3,000 suspected opposition members.[7]
AftermathEdit
Main article: Battle of Rastan, 2012
Insurgent activity continued in the area for months after the major clashes ended. On 24 November, the military conducted an operation in Rastan, during which they killed 16 gunmen and captured a large cache of weapons.[14]
On 1 February 2012, the FSA and opposition activists reported that the FSA had gained full control of Rastan after four days of intense clashes.[15][16] Photos were posted on the internet showing FSA fighters in the streets of Rastan, standing guard.[17]

Q: C# Error creating directory in SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData on Windows 7 as a non Admin I'm getting the error "Access to the path 'LocalApplicationData\MyProgram\' is denied." when trying to create a directory for my log file. This is when I'm running the program as a non-admin user.
Directory.CreateDirectory(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData + "\\MyProgram\\");

Why would this be?
Thanks

A: LocalApplicationData is just an enum value. You will have to use it in combination with GetFolderPath:
string folder = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(
    Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData),
    "MyProgram");

A: You're trying to access the enumeration value LocalApplicationData as if it were a string.  It's not.  You need to find the folder path with GetFolderPath:
string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(
    System.Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData);

Incidentally, it's better form, and less error-prone, to use Path.Combine to build up paths, rather than doing it by hand:
string path = Path.Combine(@"C:\", "dir"); // gives you "C:\dir"

...and so your code would end up looking like:
string appDataPath = Environment.GetFolderPath
    (System.Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData);
string path = Path.Combine(appDataPath, "MyProgram");
Directory.CreateDirectory(path);

A: This is the script I found to work:
// highlight search terms in content
var searchCnt = 0;

var option = {
  color: "black",
  background: "lightskyblue",
  bold: false,
  ignoreCase: true
  wholeWord: true
};

$("#searchInput").keyup(function() {
  var searchVal = $(this).val();
  if (!searchVal || searchVal === "") {
    return;
  } else {
    $(".searchtext").each(function() {
      $(this).highlight(searchVal, option);
    });
  }
});
