Fast Market Research recommends "Product Profiles: Melanoma - Novel combination therapies will increase competition for marketed drugs" from Datamonitor, now available
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/01/2012 -- The melanoma market has seen an increase in developer attention following recent breakthroughs. The identification of the role of BRAF mutations has revolutionized the treatment of melanoma, but with drug resistance a problem there is an opportunity for developers to move into this market. Novel combination therapies and immunotherapies are now poised to compete with the current marketed drugs.
- Analysis of marketed melanoma drugs - development history, key clinical trial data, and assessment of clinical and commercial attractiveness
- Analysis of marketed and pipeline drugs in comparison to current standard of care
- In-depth analysis of late-stage pipeline drugs - development overview, SWOT analysis, and assessment of clinical and commercial attractiveness
- Discussion and assessment of pipeline drugs' ability to meet unmet needs in treatment of melanoma
View Full Report Details and Table of Contents
Yervoy and Zelboraf's high costs have generated significant commercial reward, but have limited uptake of the drugs in more cost-conservative markets. However, where funded they remain the standard of care due to the lack of alternative treatments.
The combination of pipeline BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib and MEK inhibitor trametinib is thought to be the biggest threat to the current marketed therapies. The potential of this combination therapy to overcome resistance to BRAF inhibitor monotherapy could allow it to compete strongly in this setting and take market share from Zelboraf.
The limited treatment options in the adjuvant setting will allow the pipeline drugs targeting this patient population to face fewer barriers to market entry. There are currently two melanoma vaccines in development in this setting.
Reasons to Get this Report
- Identify the market leaders in this competitive indication.
- Compare and assess current late-stage pipeline drugs according to market positioning, commercial potential and clinical efficacy.
- Understand how pipeline drugs will be used with current therapies and how the market is accessed through less competitive treatment settings

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said on July 6that it had placed its B long-term corporate credit rating onIndonesia-based tire manufacturer PT Gajah Tunggal Tbk (GJTL) on credit watch withnegative implications.
"We also placed our B issue rating on the company'ssenior secured notes on credit watch with negative implications. We placed the ratings on Gajah Tunggal on credit watch to reflect the risk that the company's liquidity could significantly weaken if its recent dividend payment constitutes a covenant breach under the terms of its 2009 restructuredbonds."
On June 30, 2011, Gajah Tunggal paid Indonesian Rp41.8 billion in dividends out of its 2010 profits. The company made the payment before July 21, 2011, the date on which the interest rate on the restructuredbonds will increase to 6% from 5%.
"We need more clarity on whether such action constitutes a covenant breach,"said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Xavier Jean.
"The covenants of Gajah Tunggal's restructured bonds restrict the company from making dividend payments under a number of circumstances, including before the intereststep-up date. But the covenants also indicate that Gajah Tunggal may pay dividends before the interest step-up date if the Indonesian law requires the company to do so before that date."
Gajah Tunggal does not consider the dividend payment as a covenant breach and has indicated that it will issue a formal response to its bondholders.
"We believe litigation risks from holders of the restructured bonds could arise if the dividend payment constitutes a covenant breach. An accelerated repayment of the principal of the restructured bond would severely impair Gajah Tunggal's liquidity and heighten the risk of default, in our opinion."
The face value of the bond at about US$435 million (including US$10 million incontractual amortization to be repaid on or before July 21, 2011) issignificantly larger than the company's cash and cash equivalents of about US$130 million as of March 31, 2011.
"However, we believe Gajah Tunggal's liquidity is adequate to service the partial principal amortization of about Rp85 billion and the coupon of the 2009 restructured bond in July 2011, given the company's cash balance of Rp466 billion as of March 31, 2011."
The rating on Gajah Tunggal reflects the company's highly leveraged financial risk profile, its exposure to a cyclical and volatile industry, and itslimited financial flexibility. Gajah Tunggal's competitive cost position and leading share in the Indonesian tire market temper these weaknesses.
"We may affirm therating and remove it from credit watch if the dividend payment does notconstitute a covenant breach.
Disagree the claim
In a press statement, Gajah Tunggal understands that a party claiming to be a bond holder has written to its Bond Trustee to object to GT paying its FY2010 dividend payment.
"We understand that subsequently an anonymous party has disseminated the letter on this matter to various parties. The anonymous party has alleged that the payment of the FY2010 dividend is not required by Indonesian law and GT is therefore in breach of the terms and conditions of the bonds."
The company disagrees with this claim and will issue a formal response to its bondholders shortly. Meantime, Gajah Tunggal has heard from a number of its larger bondholders who have expressed their disappointment with the approach taken by the anonymous party and have told us they remain supportive of management.

#2020 KSSpiders
$770.00 – $830.00
The Spider returns!
After 20 years our Spider web reinforced wave sail is back- The KS Spider. Total wave vision and a lighter crisper feel than the KS3 it was based off, the KSSpider is an amazing sail ready for all wave and freeride sailing.
Powerful yet unbelievably stable the three batten design has radically less sail momentum which leads to faster response times and improved feel. Even the biggest sizes offer this making them amazing freeride sails that are feather weight in your hands.
The sail features our exclusive Interweave® batten system that eliminates the batten pockets in the middle and upper areas of the sail to reduce weight. The new Ox Webbing sleeve is now only ½ a millimeter thick and still strong enough to withstand masts breaking and any rocks you may encounter! Built with exceptional materials exclusive to Hot Sails that we design ourselves. You will be amazed.

Attachment from drumstiix, the biggest Spammer
Even if it is music (his music)
Very little conversation left because most vacationers and snow-birds have gone home to avoid Semana Santa which is early this year. The usual spammers below are fishing for the last hanger-on's that are still here. Some of them are much worse than others with very few almost welcome. Just kind of pitiful to see this last minute fishing. Pretty soon it will almost grind to a halt.

I have a column having text in A+B (e.g. 10+20) format. I have to do calculations based on A and different set of calculations based on B.
how to separate the above string as 10 and 20 so that I can read 10 and 20 separately.
Oops...found the right left function with combination of Find. Got the formula =LEFT(<cell#>, FIND("<string to search>", <cell#>)-1)


text: OK, so I know my last post on this blog was the end of September, and I have not been doing a great job at finding the time to write my posts. This makes me sad, because I was doing so well for such a long time at keeping up with my weekly posting. I kind of expected as things got busier with the business it would be harder to prioritize the time to write in my blog. I know, these are all excuses. I have been working on a new project which has been taking a lot more of my time then I expected. I thought since I have not posted in a while we are about due for a Company Update post.

The 1910 Penny is a very common coin. It was minted in both Philadelphia and San Francisco. There were large numbers of the 1910 cent minted in both locations which lowers the collectable value of them. Like the 1909 Penny these are made of 95% Copper and 5% zinc. These pennies have Lincoln on the front and have wheat stalks on the back. This is why they are called wheat pennies.
The 1910 Penny which was minted in Philadelphia has no mint mark and is worth less than a dollar unless it is in pristine condition. Even if it is in pristine condition it is still worth less than about 10 bucks. There were 146,798,813 of these minted. I said there were a lot didn't I?
The 1910-S Penny is worth a bit more. There were only 6,045,000 of these minted and you might be able to pull in a cool $2.00-$10.00 with one of these. They were minted in San Francisco which is why they have the S mark on them.
The only way to make a decent amount of money off these would be to find one that had an error during the minting process. A few came out 5% off center which could fetch upwards to $400.00 or $500.00 to a collector. These are extremely rare and are not likely to be found but you never know.
The early 1900's coins are not that difficult to find. Pennies are pretty much invisible to everyone except those who collect them and a lot of old coins are still in circulation today.
Although the 1910 penny may not make you a lot of money it is a nice item to begin collecting with. It is a challenge to find but it is findable. Collecting Pennies is a fun and cheap hobby to start out with and can be done by children and adults alike. What other hobby can you start out by buying a 50 cent roll and possibly accomplish something with it?
If the cheap 1910 wheat cent isn't what you want to collect you might want to check out another year. I hear the 1911 Penny was worth a bit more.

Wednesday night: Seth
I wish I could give good news, but aside from some weight gain and his oxygen supplementation need remaining below 60% (for which we thank God) Seth is really struggling. He just doesn't have much reserve of strength or ability to tolerate even being repositioned. I think they have to turn his oxygen up during those times. His carbon dioxide has risen again, despite the higher vent setting he was put on. He is a very sick baby.
Labs, a sonogram of his heart, and an X-ray of his lungs have all been ordered for the morning, hoping, as the nurse put it, to find out SOMETHING for the benefit of Seth.
This is very hard, to say the least, but there is nothing we can do. It's all in God's hands. Seth is His boy. The battle is the LORD's.
Grace had her last dose of medication to close off her PDA. The sonogram in the morning will check if the meds worked or if she needs surgery or more meds. She's a lot feistier after her blood transfusion, thank God!
David, Will, and Grace all gained weight, for which we are truly grateful. Please pray that Marcie will gain, too. She is currently the smallest baby. However, she is also not on any oxygen, so she's doing well there.
Will keep you updated, as soon as we know anything. Thank you for praying. We need it and sense it!
Waiting on Him,
P.S. Better day at school today for Isaac! Thanks for praying!

All praise and glory be to God for each moment Carrie and Gavin share with their five babies. God has surely wrapped these, His children, in His blanket of love and care. Born three months early and living these three weeks, so many moments He has given us to glorify His work in their lives.ReplyDelete
As babies our earthly fathers took our burdens from us, I pray that Carrie and Gavin will give our Heavenly Father the burden in their hearts of the care of these His babies. Our Heavenly Father knows all the medical statistics of His babies and is guiding the doctors in their care. I pray that Carrie and Gavin may be relieved of this overwhelming burden, and may spent each moment with each of His babies in joy and thanksgiving.
Please Lord lay your hand upon Seth and heal his precious body. Allow him to grow and and have glory in your presence. Help his brothers and sisters and his mother and father to heal, grow, and mature in these trying times.ReplyDelete

Father, adding my prayers to the many this morning, that You will keep each little quint moving forward, that health scares will lessen and that at the end of this hospital stay all will go home complete and healthy. Please put your hand of healing on each little child, help them to grow and develop as You are the One who has wonderously made them, please sustain them according to Your plan. And, please keep Carrie and Gavin in your care, give them strength to endure and provide them with the support system they will need once the babies come home. And, please bless this day for Isaac, that he might have a great day at school and make wonderful friends. Amen, and thank you for your mercies. NKLReplyDelete

You don't know me, but I found your blog via a story on either cnn.com or msn.com. I've been reading your updates daily and praying for you every moment I get a chance. My heart breaks for you, watching your babies struggle. My son had to be under UV lights for 2 days when he was first born due to jaundice, and I could barely handle that, so I know you must be the strongest mommy and daddy out there. God has certainly given you some strength. I will continue praying for all of your children, especially Seth.ReplyDelete

I appreciate people who ask questions about mental health struggles – it shows that they care enough to dig a little deeper and are trying to understand. I should clarify here that I know some people ask questions because they are fed up or at their wit's end. I would argue that as long as they have the patience to listen to the answers, those are still valuable questions.
Why is it important to ask questions? Because mental illness affects everyone. It affects those on the inside, as well as those on the outside looking in. In 2017, 43.7 million adults in the US suffered from some sort of mental illness (MHA, 2018), which means that chances are pretty high that if you don't suffer from one, you know someone who does. According to a journal article from World Psychology, "Many people with serious mental illness are challenged doubly. On one hand, they struggle with the symptoms and disabilities that result from the disease. On the other, they are challenged by the stereotypes and prejudice that result from misconceptions about mental illness" (Corrigan & Watson, 2002).
Misconception: "A conclusion that's wrong because it's based on faulty thinking or facts that are wrong" (n.d.)
You might argue that a journal article from 17 years ago isn't relevant anymore. Coming from someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, I can tell you that statement is still incredibly relevant. Stigma is a toxic byproduct of misconception, which is the direct result of lack of education. The National Alliance on Mental Illness reports that "stigma and misunderstandings about mental illness prevent families from facing the problem and seeking help" (NAMI, 2019). On the other hand, "education provides information so that the public can make more informed decisions about mental illness" (Corrigan & Watson, 2002). How does education happen? By asking questions.
Question: "A sentence or phrase used to find out information" (2019).
With all this in mind, I thought I would share some of the questions that get asked of me. Some I hear on a regular basis…some I've only heard once or twice. All are welcome. I urge you, though, to always consider how you pose your questions. You know the old adage – it's not what you say, but how you say it. Due to the stigma that surrounds mental illness, it's easy for some people to get defensive. This is due to the fact that they have likely been bullied growing up or have experienced less than compassionate interactions with the public and health providers as adults. The uneducated masses can be horribly unkind. If someone doesn't seem comfortable answering questions, don't push the matter. It might be a trigger for them. I would like to think, though, that open minded people would be willing to share their experiences for the sake of education. As mentioned before…that is the only way to end the stigma. It can all start with one person asking one question and waiting to hear the answer.
These FAQs are in no particular order. I am typing them as they come to mind. Bear with my stream of consciousness.
Is it okay that I don't know what to say?
This was asked of me very recently by two different women who mean the world to me (my mom and my aunt). It was striking to me how similar and genuine the sentiment was in each separate conversation. The answer is quite simple: Yes, it's okay that you don't know what to say. No, it does not add to my anxiety that you don't know what to say.
One of the difficult lessons I have learned over the last few years is that if someone has never experience anxiety or depression (or any other mental illness, for that matter), they will never truly understand. By this I mean truly empathize. You can still try to understand what I'm going through from an education standpoint, without actually knowing how it feels to be depressed or so anxious you don't even want to leave the house.
It's okay to not fully empathize or understand exactly what I'm going through on an emotional level, which means it's okay to not know what to say. Most of the time I don't even know what to say, so how could I place different expectations on anyone around me? Compassion and a little grace are all I ask for when words fail. Don't put pressure on yourself to come up with some Hallmark greeting card sentiment. And certainly don't put pressure on yourself to say something that will make this whole thing better – that's what medication and therapy are for!
Is it okay for me to laugh while reading your blog or is that insensitive?
Please laugh! I deal with stress, pain, and general unease with humor. I'm sure it's hard sometimes to know exactly how to take some things I pen, especially if you don't know me on a personal level. But if I'm making fun of myself, I am doing so to show the world that life is too short and too important to be taken seriously. Some days, poking fun at my own depression is all that gets me through the day. Laugh with me…just don't laugh at me. There's a difference.
Have you thought about seeing someone for this?
I get this one ALL. THE. TIME. Here's the thing: therapy is expensive. If I could sit down and talk to a professional once a day, I would. We live in a society that doesn't take mental health coverage seriously. We live in a society where 3 therapy sessions are considered adequate for many Employee Assistance Programs. For someone with chronic mental health, routine therapy sessions can be very unkind to the pocket book. Although I just started seeing a new therapist a month ago, I realized it's not a financially viable option for me long term. This is the world that we live in. When therapists charge $100/hour (as they should…they have so much expertise and education backing them up), but insurance waves my high deductible in my face, guess who doesn't go to therapy?
That was a long, somewhat bitter way of saying that yes…I have thought about seeing someone. I've thought about it a lot throughout some of my emotionally traumatic experiences in the last few years. When you think about bringing this up to someone, do so with sensitivity and keep in mind that it's not as easy as finding a therapist you mesh with and having coffee with them. Oh how I wish it were that easy. Remember that there are often extenuating circumstances that prevent ongoing therapy. If someone isn't going, don't assume it is because they are lazy or in denial. Maybe someday mental health benefits will be where they need to be. Until that day, I fight my battles without the help of a professional counselor.
What do you do when you are stuck obsessing over something?
When I begin to experience obsessive anxiety, it can quickly spirals out of control. It sometimes gets to the point that I can't focus on any task at hand. My mind goes into hyper-analysis mode and starts exploring all the worst possible outcomes to whatever situation has caught my eye so thoroughly. Often I know that I am being irrational, but by then it's too late. Usually, the key for me is to pull someone I trust aside, explain to them what I'm worrying over, and let them talk me off the proverbial cliff. Sometimes it takes talking to a "normal" person (i.e. someone who doesn't have irrational, obsessive anxiety) to realize that everything will be okay.
I'd like to quickly draw your attention back to the phrase someone I trust. I have learned over the years that not everyone is willing to talk you down. Not everyone is capable of understanding what obsessive anxiety is. They don't want to acknowledge that, while I know my fears are unfounded and irrational, I can't stop the invasive thoughts that interfere with just about everything except breathing. Sometimes even breathing is threatened! The trusted people in our lives are often family members, significant others, or close friends. It becomes easy to go to these people over and over, which can unfortunately become frustrating for them. In my experience, my significant others are the ones who become most hard on me and tell me to "just stop worrying" or that "obviously that won't happen…forget about it."
In those moment of blind panic, having someone say "you worry too much" is the most defeating answer to my cry for help. What I need is this: don't point out how crazy I am. Instead, walk me through the reasons that the expired macaroni and cheese I just ate isn't going to kill me. Walk me through the reasons why driving up over a curb unintentionally isn't going to cause Armageddon to fall down upon us. Although my extreme anxieties may seem silly and irrational to you, please acknowledge that for me, they are very, very real. When everything is out to get me, a patient person who is willing to talk me off the ledge is the most helpful thing I can ask for.
Does it help to talk about it?
See above. For me, it helps for a number of reasons. 1) It gives someone the opportunity to talk me down, 2) it helps me feel like I am spreading education, and 3) it is an outlet when I have been bottling up emotions and fears.
One thing I will add here is that I am a much better communicator through the written word. Talking in person can be incredibly difficult for me. I fumble for the correct words, forget what I am saying mid-sentence, and trip over my own tongue. This generally triggers my social anxiety and things just go downhill from there. If I struggle to express my feelings to you verbally, don't think it's because I don't know what I want to say. It's usually because I need to write it down first.
Is all that medication really necessary?
For some people, medication works better than any other forms of treatment. If you remember that mental illnesses are due to genetic makeup and chemical imbalance in the brain, you have to view it as a physical disease, not just an emotional disorder. Would you go up to someone with cancer and say, "Do you really feel that chemo is necessary? Have you tried meditation instead?"
So my educational takeaway is this: I wouldn't put chemicals into my body – chemicals that have almost certain side effects – if I didn't feel it was necessary for my sanity and survival. My psychiatrist started me on a mood stabilizer a couple months ago. I can quite confidently say that it saved my life. I take antianxiety/antidepressants so that I can go out in public and function on a daily basis. I take sleeping medication so that I can get a decent night's sleep, which raises my threshold for both anxiety and depression. There is a method to the madness. Instead of asking someone if all that medication is necessary, it might be better to ask what the medication is for. You might be amazed by how much you learn!
Are text messages an impersonal way to check in on you?
I hate talking on the phone. The awkward silences (most often caused by my verbal constipation) generate an insane amount of anxiety and distress for me. I most certainly do not consider it impersonal to reach out to me via text. Just the fact that you are reaching out is enough to bring some light to a potentially very dark day.
Can't you just stop worrying?
Let's talk about this one. I get it a lot. I mentioned earlier that it is usually the people who are closest to me – who live with me on a daily basis – who start to push this question to me. My very first serious boyfriend gave me a book on my birthday about how to stop worrying. Each significant other after him proceeded to tell me to just stop worrying so often that it got to the point that I felt I couldn't talk to them about anything. I felt shut down inside a relationship that should be a safe place.
That being said, this can still be a valuable question…but only if you listen the first time or two it is answered. Try to keep in mind that I don't choose anxiety for the sheer joy I get out of it. No. It is a devastating illness that spreads into every area of my life. If I could just flip a switch and turn it off, I would do that. As you seek to further educate yourself and ask more questions about your loved one's mental illness, this question should answer itself. It is not a choice.
Does being around other people help?
It depends on my mental state, so that answer may change from one hour to the next. Sometimes I want to be in the company of people I care about for an afternoon or evening. Sometimes I want to barricade myself in my apartment and not come out for days. If you ask someone with anxiety or depression to come out with you and they say they aren't feeling up for it, it doesn't often help to say something like "Oh come on…it will make you feel better." I can tell you that in my experience, depression and chronic anxiety are EXHAUSTING. There are times where the mere thought of going out in public brings me near to tears because I don't have the energy. I'm not saying no simply because I'm feeling antisocial or don't like you anymore. I'm saying no because my very sanity depends on it. The same applies if I come over and end up leaving after only an hour or so. I get overstimulated and anxious, even when I'm with people I know and love. If I suddenly stand up and say I need to get going, don't try to change my mind. Instead, acknowledge that I know my limit and I have reached it. The only thing more exhausting than facing the world is feeling guilty for not having the energy to face the world.
How are you today?
I can never actually tell if people ask this because they genuinely want to know or if it's just to be polite. I fall into the category of people who tends to say "Fine, how are you?" instead of being honest. It causes me a lot of anxiety to think about opening up to someone in the elevator when all they were doing was acknowledging my presence.
When it's obvious that someone is asking because they genuinely want to know, sometimes it's enough to make me cry. If you are honestly worried about someone and are concerned that they are a danger to themselves or others, try to press a little bit when they only want to give you the standard "I'm okay" answer. Don't be bossy. Just encourage them that you are there for them. It may be the tree root that that person is able to grab as they plummet off the cliff.
Have you considered [insert diet or health trend here]?
I think even the most sane and mentally healthy people would tell you that diets are difficult to follow. They would also tell you that if you stick to it, they can be wonderful stepping stones to a healthier you. I've considered a couple different diets recently, based on the positive results people experience on a physical, mental, and emotional level. While I am of average build and don't necessarily need to lose a lot of weight, it's the lifestyle change that appeals to me. So why didn't I do it? I realized that the diet plans I was looking at involved strict self-control, a ton of meal planning, and denying myself some of life's simple comforts. Pretty much describes any diet, right? Exactly.
What I realized is this: my perception is that I have failed at so much leading up to this point, so why would I set myself up to fail something else? One of the diets allows no alcohol, but I've learned that every now and then a glass of wine is exactly what I need to take the edge off. I am not an emotional eater, so why should I put so much added pressure on myself when I am in such a delicate emotional state? It was an important lesson is acknowledging and respecting the fact that there is a time and a place for everything. Maybe in a year or two I can say goodbye to alcohol and carbs for 30 days. Until then, my self-care inner voice is telling me to enjoy a piece of cheese, savor a Dr. Pepper, or nibble on an Almond Joy if I need to. All good things in moderation, right?
You know you can call anytime, right?
Depression does not foster a proactive mentality. I understand that I am surrounded by people who are only a phone call away. However, usually when I am in a bad enough place that I truly need to talk to someone, I have become numb to that option. If I am in a bad place, I don't deny that I can call people. What my mind and body deny me is the energy to do so. The idea of explaining my mental state seems like too much to bear. Just picking up the phone seems exhausting.
On top of that, I don't want to be a burden. I know that everyone has their own struggles. I often don't feel that I am worthy of placing more to their list of worries. That does nothing but make me feel guilty, which pushes me deeper in depression and higher into anxiety. Sometimes it is easier to just curl up in a ball and cry my way through it.
Thank you to everyone who remains just a phone call away, though. I hear you.
How do you put yourself out there like you do in your blog?
It's all for the sake of education for every player in this elaborate story that is mental health. I don't do it for attention or pity or accolades. One of my new favorite quotes is this: "I hope that if you read yourself in my story, it will hold up a mirror for you" (Hollis, 2018, p. 53). If putting myself out there for all the world to see – the good, the bad, and the ugly – helps one person realize that they have worth because of their unique struggles (not in spite of them!) or helps one family member better understand what their loved one is experiencing, then it is worth it. Ending stigma and misconceptions are worth it.

Which of the following is more surprising?
- In a group of 100 people, the tallest person is one inch taller than the second tallest person.
- In a group of one billion people, the tallest person is one inch taller than the second tallest person.
Put more precisely, suppose we have a normal distribution with given mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$. If we sample from this distribution $N$ times, what is the expected difference between the largest and second largest values in our sample? In particular, does this expected difference go to zero as $N$ grows?
In another question, it is explained how to compute the distribution $MAX_N$ of the maximum, but I don't see how to extract an estimate for the expected value of the maximum from that answer. Though $E(MAX_N)-E(MAX_{N-1})$ isn't the number I'm looking for, it might be a good enough estimate to determine if the value goes to zero as $N$ gets large.

The Great Wall of China is the longest man-made monument in the world, the pride of China and a major tourist destination. Innumerable superlatives have been used to describe the wall over its several thousand years of existence, and its significance spans historic, strategic, engineering, architectural and cultural realms of interest. Visiting the Great Wall of China -- given its enormous span -- encompasses many different experiences.
The Great Wall is traditionally known as the "Long Wall of Ten Thousand Li" to the Chinese. It was built by soldiers, prisoners and local laborers using locally sourced materials including stones, wood, earth and, later, brick. The history of the wall dates back to the Chunqiu era (722 to 481 BC), when construction of walls began during feudal conflicts. Three separate sections of the wall were linked under Qin Shi Huang around 220 BC, forming a cohesive fortification. This wall was expanded under the emperor Wudi between 140 and 87 BC to reach the Bohai Sea in the east. It was intended at that time to prevent invasion by Mongols and Turks. Work on the wall started and stopped periodically until the Ming period of 1368 to 1644 when 5,650 km was added, along with 25,000 towers and 15,000 outposts. Most of the wall remaining today was built during this period. The purpose of the wall was not only to protect China from invasion but also to eliminate foreign influences on Chinese culture.
Facts and Figures
The Great Wall passes east-to-west through 17 provinces of the northern and central regions of China. It is approximately 5,500 miles long, reaching from the Hushan Wall in the east to Jiayuguan Pass in the west. This makes it the longest manmade monument in the world. It is 11 yards wide on average. The Ming Dynasty Wall has 723 beacon towers, 3,357 wall platforms and 7,062 lookout towers. The highest part of the wall is at an elevation of 6,562 feet in Huapiling
The Great Wall of China was inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1987, serving to protect it as a historic, strategic and architectural monument of great importance. The wall is constantly shrinking due to erosion and human activity, such as people taking bricks from the wall as souvenirs. The entire wall is not officially open to tourists, and the Chinese government periodically enforces this with closures and fines. Other areas are specifically managed for tourism, presenting a balance between positive and negative human influences. While the footsteps of crowds of visitors and inevitable vandalism speed up erosion, concurrently the wall is preserved to keep it attractive and accessible to tourists, who boost the businesses that serve such areas of the wall.
Organized tours of China often feature sections of the Great Wall in their itineraries, and tours of various durations specifically focusing on the wall are also available. Hiking and biking tours along the wall are popular with active travelers. Visiting the Great Wall of China can mean many different styles of tours, as the wall stretches both through remote mountainous areas that are difficult to reach, and through major cities. Some sections are hazardous and steep with unstable sections. The Badaling Great Wall section is the largest and receives the most visitors, not only because it is close to Beijing and therefore relatively easy to access, but also because it is safe to walk along and is aesthetically appealing. Passengers on the Trans-Siberian Railway see the wall as the train approaches Beijing.
Fun Facts
There has long been debate about whether the Great Wall of China is visible from space. In 2003, China's first astronaut Yang Liwei told a reporter that the wall was not visible from the moon. Neil Armstrong has repeatedly been asked the question and always answers no. Numerous other astronauts and scientists agree with him and assert that it is impossible to see the wall from space.

CSUS Arts Calendar Fall 2004
Every semester the CSUS School of the Arts produces a calendar of events, the Fall 2004 calendar of events was the first to utilize the School's new branding and drew its inspiration from the new logo.
- CSUS School of the Arts
- Event Calendar brochures for the Fall 2004 semester for California State University, Sacramento.
- As a Senior at Sac State I worked with a professor to design a calendar of events for the Fall 2004 semester. The design of the brochure was based heavily on the identity for the school that I was involved in that same semester. We used bold colors and angles to create a sense of excitement and interest. The photos were all taken specifically for the brochure, no stock images were used.

Plain English Summary
Background and study aims
Family SKILLS is a 30-hour family literacy programme targeted at Reception year pupils with English as an additional language and their parents or carers. It aims to support families in developing their children's English and literacy skills by equipping parents with greater knowledge of how their children are taught to read, developing parents' English language skills and acquainting parents with strategies and activities to support their children's literacy development at home. The aim of this study is to assess whether the programme has a positive impact on the literacy progress of Reception year pupils in UK primary schools, aged 4-5 years old, who have English as an additional language (EAL).
Who can participate?
Reception Year pupils attending UK primary schools, who have been identified by the school as having EAL, and their parents/carers.
What does the study involve?
Participating schools are randomly allocated to one of two groups. Those in group one are allocated to the "Family SKILLS" intervention group, and the Family SKILLS programme is offered in this school. Schools in group 2 are allocated to the control, and continue business as usual. All children from both groups are assessed via a literacy test about 8-9 months later.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Not provided at time of registration

Low literacy among 4-5 year old pupils with English as an additional language
Family SKILLS is a 30-hour family literacy programme targeted at the parents of Reception year children with English as an Additional Language (EAL), with children attending some sessions. Family SKILLS aims to support families in developing their children's English and literacy skills by equipping parents with greater knowledge of how their children are taught to read, developing parents' English language skills and acquainting parents with strategies and activities to support their children's literacy development at home. These new skills and knowledge should allow parents to grow in confidence and engage more closely in their children's learning. Ultimately, this should lead to improvements in literacy among children. Family SKILLS will delivered by specially trained family literacy trainers in weekly sessions. The number of weeks and duration of sessions will be decided between the trainers and schools, depending on the length of school terms and room availability. The sessions will take place after school within the school campus. Sessions will cover various topics including the benefits of bilingualism, oral traditions and home literacy, reading and phonics, learning through play, and schools and education in the UK.
Schools will be randomly allocation to two intervention conditions:
1. Schools in Group 1 (intervention schools) will receive the Family SKILLS programme between January and April 2017
2. Schools in Group 2 (control schools) will continue with 'business as usual'. The process study will explore what BAU includes

The Kazekage's Office is where the Kazekage conducts his administrative duties. It contains their office, the meeting chamber of the Sunagakure Council which also houses the large statues of the previous Kazekage, for which reason the chamber is considered sacred and violence is therefore prohibited.[1] It is a large, round, sandy coloured building with several rows of windows and the kanji for "wind" (風, kaze) painted on the side of the building in a circle. The top of the building is flat and tiled much like the roof of part of the Ninja Academy where the Hokage's office is with a water tower to one side. In the anime, it was also shown that it also houses a puppet workshop that Kankurō uses.

I have been using Tomato USB for a while now, with no issues - but for some reason Build 51 seems to have bricked my Asus WL520GU router. Not sure if it's a bad download, not clearing NVRAM, or some other issue - could be the build, or could be an issue on my side (wouldn't be the first time for that, unfortunately!).
In any case though, I don't seem to be able to use the restoration approach that is supposed to work for this Asus router (and others). I go into restoration mode, but I don't seem to see the router, and can't download a DD-WRT or Tomato build to the router … has anyone else seen this issue?
My router seems to be in restoration mode, as the power LED is blinking when I start up with the Restore / Reset button pressed (as seems to be well documented around). Is there anything else that I need to do to restore the router?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Many years ago, when my young, healthy fiancé died of a heart attack in my arms, I was thrown into a grief so profound I thought I was going insane.
I couldn't sleep. I couldn't write. I sobbed so loudly my neighbour, terrified, called the police. After four months of grief I began to think that it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if a truck ran me over. 'I can't do this anymore,' I told my therapist.
'You don't have a choice,' she said.
I looked for hope everywhere and, although my friends and my therapist were appalled, I began to think that spending time with a new person might be just what I needed to overcome my grief, and so I answered an ad in the personals and I met Rick.
He was handsome and attentive, a teacher at a local school. 'Love at first sight!' he said. Almost immediately we moved in together and he began to talk about marriage and children, holding out a future like a promise that life could be beautiful again.
And for a while it was. I could sleep with his arms about me. He took me skating and swimming, filling the solitary moments where grief was waiting. I told myself I could learn to love him, but then, abruptly, he began to change.
'That's an awfully big potato,' he said at dinner. 'Look at the little belly you're getting.' Stunned, I put down my fork. 'Don't worry,' he said. 'We can whittle that weight off you.'
He began to monitor what I ate – one piece of toast for breakfast, half a sandwich for lunch, broccoli and a baked potato (no butter) for dinner – and I let him because the alternative was simply too terrible. If I left Rick, if I gave him cause to leave me, why then I'd have to grieve.
When I went down three sizes my friends urged me to leave him. 'You look like a twig!' they said. But Rick asked me to marry him. My heart was a hollow fist of grief, but I knew what was at stake. 'Yes,' I whispered.
When I told my mother she was appalled. She didn't like how controlling Rick was, and, when I began to cry, at first I was sure my tears were about her disliking my boyfriend, but then I realised I was crying for my dead fiancé. 'If I leave, the grief will come back,' I sobbed.
She lifted up my bony wrist. 'This makes me grieve for you,' she said.
After I'd spoken to my mother I felt a seismic shift, as if telling the truth had unlocked something. I wasn't ready to leave – I couldn't – but I began to test Rick's limits. One day I ate a slice of pizza before I went home for our usual meagre dinner. When I walked into the flat Rick grabbed my arm. 'You ate something, didn't you?' he accused.
I jerked my arm away. 'My mother says I look like a skeleton.'
'Only I tell you the truth,' he said and anger flared up in me like a lit match.
He grew more controlling. He read my mail. He went into my computer and inserted Groucho Marx jokes into my novel-in-progress. 'Honey, your writing just wasn't funny enough,' he said, and we argued so bitterly I finally had enough.
'I'm leaving,' I blurted. Terrified, I went to stay with a friend, and there, waiting for me, was my grief, crashing over me like a tsunami. But this time I let it in.
My friends took care of me. They kept feeding me. Eat, they said. We're here. You can eat. And slowly I took a bite. I gained weight and, though it took two more hard years, the grieving began to subside.
I was finally ready to date. Really ready this time. I met a smart, funny journalist named Jeff, who took me out to eat, a simple pasta at a good restaurant, and when the meal was over I started to get ready to leave. 'What about dessert?' Jeff said.
Stunned, I blinked at him. Jeff grinned wickedly at the menu. 'Let's get three,' he said. My hands shook. 'You decide,' Jeff said. 'You can have anything you want.'
That was the beginning of the real end of grief, a moment that turned into an 18-year marriage, as rich and sweet as chocolate mousse.

Pre-Baroque & Baroque
J.S. Bach: The Sonatas for Violin & Harpsichord
Violinist Rachel Barton Pine and harpsichordist Jory Vinikour, critically acclaimed artists of international renown —
and also close friends — record together for the first time on this album of J.S. Bach's complete sonatas for violin and harpsichord.
Vivaldi: The Complete Viola d'Amore Concertos
The seductively charming sound of the Baroque-era viola d'amore takes center stage in this new, all-Vivaldi recording with Billboard classical chart-topping violinist Rachel Barton Pine and the veteran Chicago-based period instrument ensemble Ars Antigua, making its Cedille label debut.
Veracini Complete Sonate Accademiche
Trio Settecento, the "superlative Chicago-based early music ensemble" (Gramophone) presents Italian Baroque composer Francesco Maria Veracini's monumental Opus 2 Sonate Accademiche for violin and continuo. It's a cosmopolitan collection of 12 sonatas of breathtaking scope and pan-European influences — a set of sonatas unlike any other of the era.
Violinist Jennifer Koh's Bach & Beyond Part 2 is the newest installment in a three-CD
cycle based on her groundbreaking, multiyear recital series of the same name. Koh, "a
masterly Bach interpreter and a champion of contemporary repertory" (The New York
Times), performs J. S. Bach's landmark violin Sonatas and Partitas alongside 20th and 21st
century solo violin works they've inspired, including new commissions.
British-born Baroque violinist and conductor Garry Clarke and his Baroque Band, Chicago's period-instrument orchestra, highlight unfamiliar and thoroughly enjoyable orchestral overtures by 18th-century English composer Maurice Greene, who is otherwise best-remembered for his choral music.
Two x Four 2014 GRAMMY Nominee for Best Contemporary Classical Composition (Anna Clyne)
2014 GRAMMY Nominee for Best Contemporary Classical Composition (Anna Clyne)
Renowned violinists Jennifer Koh and her distinguished mentor Jaime Laredo illuminate captivating connections between student and teacher, and composers across the centuries, in Two x Four, an album of four double-violin concertos, performed with the Curtis 20/21 Ensemble conducted by Vinay Parameswaran.
The sublime early-instrument ensemble Trio Settecento (1700s Trio) has taken listeners on an unprecedented country-by-country Grand Tour of the European Baroque through a series of four recordings, issued individually between 2007 and 2012. Each album provides an in-depth exploration of the musical styles of a single country — Italy, Germany, France, England. Now, the entire critically acclaimed series is available as a specially priced boxed set offering all four CDs for the price of two.
Trio Settecento, the "superlative Chicago-based early music ensemble" (Gramophone) completes its geographical grand tour of the European Baroque with An English Fancy, its highly anticipated survey of English Baroque chamber works. It's the final leg of a musical journey that has delighted record collectors and critics alike. Previous installments include An Italian Sojourn, A German Bouquet, and A French Soirée.
American violinist Jennifer Koh's Bach & Beyond Part 1 is the first in a three-part CD series based on her groundbreaking, multi-season "Bach and Beyond" recital series, now underway in North America and overseas. With these inventive programs, Koh, "a virtuoso with quirky and wonderful ideas" (San Francisco Chronicle), sets out to illuminate connections between J.S. Bach's sonatas and partitas for solo violin and 20th- and 21st-century works, including pieces commissioned expressly for Koh and her Bach and Beyond project.
A French Soirée is the newest installment in Trio Settecento's acclaimed, country-by-country grand tour of the European Baroque on Cedille Records. The new CD is a companion to the period-instrument ensemble's An Italian Sojourn and A German Bouquet.
Chicago's "stylish and exciting period-instrument group" (Chicago Tribune), Baroque Band presents works by Bohemian-Austrian composer Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber.
Chicago-based period-instrument ensemble Trio Settecento (1700s Trio) performs a colorful cluster of Baroque sonatas on A German Bouquet, the second in a planned series of four CDs illustrating the character and complexion of the era's music as it developed in various regions of Europe.
Trio Settecento brings fresh insights to music from the Age of Enlightenment through its passionate, authoritative, and distinctive interpretations.
"Pine brings to [Biber's Passacaglia] a gentleness and occasional brilliance, teasing out its long, mournful lines, which so often threaten to fade into nothingness. Westhoff's Suite, by contrast, is quite a jolly affair, a four-movement set, all of it eminently danceable. Pine is alive to its springing rhythms and attractive melodies, and takes its multiple-stopping challenges in her stride… Pine plays [Pisendel's Sonata] with astonishing clarity and articulation. Bach works bracket the disc and she performs them with mature authority and a sure touch for drawing out and shaping contrapuntal lines. The final Chaconne is wonderfully shaped and fluent. This is a fascinating CD, with Pine consistently drawing great things from her 1770 Nicola Gagliano violin." - The Strad
Bach's Chaconne for Solo Violin, the bedazzling finale to his Partita No. 2 in D minor, has awed audiences and fellow composers for nearly three centuries. Brahms called Bach's ingenuous meditation on a simple harmonic progression "one of the most wonderful, incomprehensible pieces of music . . . a whole world of the deepest thoughts and the most powerful feelings." Violinist Jennifer Koh performs the Partita plus two much later chaconnes it inspired.
Experience a rarely heard side of Handel's exquisitely refined vocal and instrumental chamber music, including three cantatas from his early years in Italy. On The Virtuoso Handel, you'll encounter the type of intimate music-making that small, privileged audiences of discerning connoisseurs enjoyed during Handel's sojourn in Rome (1706-1709).
The movie that sparked interest in French baroque music, 1991's Tous les matins du monde, centered on viol virtuoso Marin Marais and his teacher Sainte-Colombe. But music in the age of Louis XIV actually revolved around the formidable composer and impresario Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687), the dominant star in the Sun King's musical galaxy.
Scarlatti on Fortepiano sheds new light on Domenico Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas and the early piano, or "fortepiano," of the composer's own time. The fortepiano, available to Scarlatti (1685-1757) in the royal palaces of Spain, was part of his sonic world. Yet almost all Scarlatti sonata recordings employ harpsichord or modern piano instead.
On Instrument of the Devil, gifted young violinist Rachel Barton Pine displays her technical prowess and the instrument's emotional range in an unusual, virtuosic program that, in her words, offers listeners something other than "the usual potpourri of encores."
Handel: The Sonatas for Violin and Continuo
Handel's violin sonatas, familiar to violinists and chamber audiences, have been relatively neglected on disc. These intimate, inviting sonatas show a seldom-heard side of Handel's genius. The violin sonatas span Handel's long career, from the early, Corelli-inspired G Major Sonata, HWV358 (c. 1706-08) to the exciting Sonata in D major (c. 1750).
Padre Antonio Soler: Quintets for Harpsichord and Strings Numbers 4-6
Padre Antonio Soler's six quintets for harpsichord and string quartet are post-Baroque masterstrokes, blending Baroque and early Classical styles with a savory seasoning of Spanish folk music.
When people think of Vivaldi, they think of concertos, which represent only about half of his nearly 800 compositions. Vocal music? Mostly forgotten. Vivaldi recordings, though voluminous, comprise many predictable collections of similar works -- flute concertos, violin concerto, and so forth.
Harpsichord CDs typically serve up a heaping portion of a composer's closely related works. On this CD, however, Chicago's David Schrader presents a platter of four differently-seasoned Bach compositions. The disc opens with the lyrical Italian Concerto in F Major, BWV 971. In the program notes, Schrader describes this piece as "the apotheosis of Bach's many transcriptions from the works of many Italian composers."
Padre Antonio Soler: Quintets for Harpsichord and Strings Numbers 1-3
Captivating and quirky, the quintets for keyboard and strings of Spanish composer Padre Antonio Soler were rare, even in the heyday of LP recordings. Now they are available for the first time on compact disc.
Bach: Complete Fantasies and Fugues
A major portion of JS Bach's organ masterpieces -- his complete Fantasies, Fantasies & Fugues, and isolated Fugues -- is contained on this CD. "The fantasies on this recording represent a wide range of composition, from the very freely composed to works that are obviously contrapuntal," writes Schrader in the liner notes.

Over the last few weeks we've been putting together a thread of answers to the potential issue of what Nicodemus might have not understood in the Judaism of his day, that earned him the gentle rebuke by Yeshua. As for so many of us, whether we believe in Yeshua or not as Jews, there will always be things that we simply do not see and comprehend, due to our human weakness and spiritual blindness. Last time we examined the role and place of sacrifice in Judaism and concluded that it was central to everything that Judaism should be. With the destruction of the Temple a key element of Judaism, its atonement function for us as a nation and for all the nations, vanished. We saw how for Messianic Jews that key substitutionary action was taken over by Yeshua and embedded in His own vicarious sacrifice, a final sin offering that actually met the righteous demands of G-d and equalled our own sin.
There is another area attached to sacrifice that cannot be overlooked either, and one that does not have a high profile in modern forms of Judaism outside of Messianic Judaism. This second area is the actual place for sacrifice. The Mishkan, and later Temple, stood at the heart of Jewish practice and belief, and not just for the sacrifices as important as they are/were. The original command was to build the Mishkan, the Tabernacle, in the centre of the community travelling through the desert. He filled this place with His Spirit, His Presence and it was seen visibly and tangibly with a column of fire and cloud. As G-d moved, like a Father taking His child's hand, so we moved. So what does this tell us now, and maybe for Nicodemus, about a key point missed? In Shemot (Exodus) 33:12-14 Moshe pleads with G-d to go with them. Moshe is aware that this crucial element is vital to Israel's success. Without 'G-d with us' we are lost as a people and nation. But actually G-d's own desire in this was much closer to the spiritual reality. In Shemot 25:8, and 29:45-46 we read that It was always G-d's desire to dwell in our midst, or amongst us. HIS desire to be with us predates ours to be with Him. This is something much closer. The Mishkan and later Temple structure enabled the very visible presence of G-d to be right at the heart of our community and people, and sacrifice made that possible. G-d physically and visibly dwelt in the Mishkan and first Temple; He truly was in our midst. The offering of sacrifices and the manifestation of His Presence are linked; when the sacrifice offered is accepted His Presence goes with you/ us as a nation. So we find that Temple and sacrifice are the key to having G-d with us as He desires, a concept central to Judaism: His presence bringing salvation, deliverance and redemption.
Lastly, let us not forget that with the destruction of the Temple in 70CE we might think that this central plank had been removed. Not so. The concept of course is larger than merely that Yeshua's sacrifice now stands in the place of the animal sacrifices offered on the altar. In fact, as the Messianic Writings show, the believers who now accept Yeshua become the living Temple themselves, carrying within themselves the results of the daily offerings of Yeshua's sacrifice. Just as the moveable Mishkan trekked through the desert 'advertising' the Presence and reality of the living G-d of Israel, so too do we today in our daily walks of life. Messianic Judaism is the final form of Judaism that reflects the glory of Adonai. We carry this treasure in earthen vessels dedicated to His service.

We store our bags in the overhead compartment. We secure our seatbelts and turn off electronic devices. We ascend to flying altitude and are told we are free to 'move about the cabin.' The words 'move about the cabin' are said in jest as the plane we're flying is equivalent to a tin can with wings. Even if we wanted to moving about the cabin was impossible as the flight attendant was going down the aisle with the beverage cart. There wasn't additional even room for a small roach. The maximum requirement for 'moving about' was one person.
We arrive in New York, go to our hotel, unpack and go to my girlfriend's room down the hall. We checkout her room and find she has a soap dish and since we don't, call housekeeping and request one. We're assured one would be provided. I'm sure one would be in our room upon our return.
The three of us head out to explore. Movement in New York is much like movement on the plane – cramped. We went from the roar of the jet engines to honking horns which is background music in New York. The no honking signs that are posted are ignored as motorists have no time to read them cause they're too busy blowing their horn.
Waiting to cross a street is like preparing for a marathon. Once the traffic light gives the visual cue to walk, you better walk… and fast. No dawdling. Should you hesitate you will be swept along by the people around you who think fast, talk fast and move fast. New Yorkers have distracted walking down to a science. They're so busy on their phones that they don't know or care if a cab comes within two inches of ending their life.
If you think of stopping to tie your shoe – think again. Nobody would have sympathy if you got run over. If you think of picking up the dollar you dropped – think again. Nobody would defend a moron in court. It was only a dollar.
At the end of the night we walk back to our room. We prepare for bed, washing our face with the soap that has no dish. We decide tomorrow morning to leave a note for the maid requesting a soap dish.
Meet me back here tomorrow and I'll let you know.

Finished the first draft on a How to Get Away with Murder thing that will be totally jossed tomorrow and that is kind of a disjointed mess. It did help me get into the groove of writing again, and I've made a bunch of progress on my Yuletide story at the same time, so that is good. I'm trying to decide whether or not it's worth putting in the effort of editing it so that it can be posted or if I'm just going to ditch it and focus on Yuletide instead. Bah. Decisions.
This is also apparently the week for me wallowing in self-loathing and introversion, but I need to go be social and shit tomorrow and Friday at work. Sigh. I will get through this week. I will get through Thanksgiving. And then we'll see where things go from there.

The Xinjiang Tigers tore the visiting Shanghai Sharks apart in what resembled less of a basketball game and more of a beat down. James Singleton, now in his fourth year in China and his third with the Tigers, confirmed that he remains one of the best two-way players in the CBA by picking up a haul of 32 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
The Sharks never scored more than eighteen points in a quarter and were relentlessly harried by Xinjiang into committing twenty-five turnovers during the game. Lester Hudson, who has torched the Sharks at least once a season whilst playing for Qingdao and Dongguan also went 29 + 6 with 5 steals. The stocky point guard led the Tigers on a 16 point run during the first half and there was nothing the Sharks could do to stop it.
In their game summaries, Sohu Sport gushed over Xinjang, calling their performance 'wonderful' whilst Sina dismissed the Sharks as 'disinterested' and the game as 'a bloodbath'. Their highlights package tellingly stopped showing footage after the second quarter. Uruqi has always been a tough place for the Sharks to play and after a bad day at the office, the visitors will be looking forward to their flight back home to Shanghai.
To some up that performance…ouch.
