Healthcare Industry News: Dyax
News Release - March 6, 2006
Positive Topline Results from Phase II Trial (EDEMA2) with DX-88 for the Treatment of Hereditary Angioedema Presented at AAAAI MeetingCAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(HSMN NewsFeed)--March 6, 2006--Dyax Corp. (Nasdaq:Dyax ) today announced the presentation of positive topline data from the Company's completed open-label Phase II clinical trial, referred to as EDEMA2, with DX-88 for the treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE). In this study DX-88 was well tolerated and successful in treating all types of attacks, including peripheral, abdominal and life-threatening laryngeal attacks, whether administered through the intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SQ) route of administration. DX-88 is being developed in a joint venture with Genzyme Corporation for the treatment of HAE, a debilitating and life-threatening inflammatory condition characterized by unpredictable attacks of severe pain and swelling.
The topline results indicate that, in this study, DX-88 provided substantial therapeutic benefit in HAE patients who experienced acute attacks, including life-threatening laryngeal attacks. Dr. Lumry presented results on a subset of the 240 attacks that were treated in the trial. He presented data on 215 attacks observed in 72 patients who had variable or fixed doses of DX-88, either 5 mg/m2, 10 mg/m2 or 20 mg/m2 intravenously or 30 mg subcutaneously. Of the 215 attacks analyzed in the presentation, 176 attacks were treated in 62 patients through IV infusion and 39 attacks were treated in 22 patients through SQ administration, with 42 patients receiving multiple doses. Of the patients treated for multiple attacks, one was dosed 10 times, another 12 and a third 18 times.
In this study, all types of attacks were treated by either IV or SQ administration of DX-88: laryngeal (n=31, 14.4%), abdominal (n=101, 47.0%), and peripheral (n=83, 38.6%). Clinical response, defined as beginning of improvement of HAE symptoms within four hours of dosing with DX-88, was observed at all dose levels. For the IV dosing (5 mg/m2, 10 mg/m2, 20 mg/m2), the response rates ranged from 86% to 100%, while the SQ outcome (30 mg fixed dose) showed a 100% response rate. The overall median time to onset of improvement for the 215 attacks was 28 minutes. The time to onset of response was slightly better (20 minutes) with SQ compared to IV administration. In a preliminary analysis, data to date indicate that time to significant improvement as well as maintenance of response at 24 hours appear to be dose and route dependent with the 30 mg SQ dose being superior to the IV administration at any dose.
With regard to the overall safety profile of DX-88 in EDEMA2, the drug has been well tolerated. There have been no local injection site reactions. In the overall DX-88 experience to date, eight patients (4%) have experienced an acute dosing reaction: six patients on first administration (two patients in EDEMA2) of the IV infusion (probably related to infusion rate) and two patients (both in EDEMA2) after multiple administration (one IV and one SQ). These symptoms included rhinitis, flushing and nausea, but with no evidence of anaphylaxis, such as tryptase elevation. All patients responded rapidly to the treatment and had complete resolution of the HAE symptoms, showing no decrease in efficacy of the drug upon repeat dosing.
DX-88 antibodies have been detected in three patients treated in this study. One patient had DX-88 antibodies with no apparent impact. Two patients with antibodies did manifest single, separate acute dosing reactions. Both patients have since been rechallenged, with one patient being retreated three times subsequent to rechallenge. There has been no recurrence of these side effects in either patient or decrease in efficacy in the patient retreated for HAE symptoms.
Commenting on the program, Dr. Lumry stated, "I'm very impressed with the DX-88 results to date. Since there is no current treatment in the U.S. for acute HAE attacks, I believe that, if approved, DX-88 has great potential in the U.S. market." He added, "HAE patients live in constant fear of having an attack, and Dyax and Genzyme are tackling this issue head on in their trials. I continue to be encouraged by the high response rates to date and believe that DX-88 represents a real possible breakthrough in the treatment of hereditary angioedema."
Dr. Thomas R. Beck, President and Chief Operating Officer of Dyax Corp., stated, "We are extremely pleased with the topline results from our EDEMA2 trial. In this open-label trial, we were able to move to a fixed dose of 30 mg, the same dose currently being administered subcutaneously in our ongoing pivotal Phase III trial. By January 2006, we had administered 327 doses of DX-88 to 113 angioedema patients. With the breadth and depth of data from our program to date, we think that it is clear that we are on the right track to be first to market with a treatment for the U.S. HAE population."

Democracy & Progress is a public policy blog, started in 2021, focused on promoting progressive ideas that can help further democracy and improve our society.

Democracy & Progress is funded directly by readers like you. If you like what you see and you want to see more of it, please consider donating using the link below:
Democracy is the cornerstone of our society, and ours is in bad shape — we can fix it. So much of our laws and regulations originate at the state-level, and it's there that the real change happens. For years state-level reform has gone unnoticed and unappreciated. That's where D&P comes in.
D&P is a one-person shop. Brian Schrader is the primary author behind everything you see at D&P. He's a writer and software developer in San Diego, California.
- D&P is powered by servers running on 92% clean and renewable energy. Running this site causes ~0.02875 mtCO2e to be emitted into the atmosphere per year (the same as driving a typical car for ~72 miles).
Like it says above, Brian Schrader is a software developer, writer. He is also a small-business owner. While the topics discussed on D&P can be from any domain, Brian's expertise and opinions as a person working in technology may come to the forefront in some proposals. In general D&P is not a technology policy blog, however when technology, and especially the Internet, are relevant to the discussion they will be included. In every way, Brian seeks to ensure that any proposals put forth on D&P are not self-serving. They are always aimed towards promoting a better world for all Californians and Americans.
Where it is needed, Brian will clarify any possible or apparent conflicts, but in general topics requiring too much clarification or justification will be avoided.

Jack Black Reportedly In Talks To Join The MCU
Jack Black is a star among stars and if fans were excited to see him play Bowser in the new Super Mario Bros. animated movie, then they'll be even more excited to see he might be joining the MCU sometime soon. According to reports from Giant Freakin Robot, their trusted and proven sources state that the star is currently in talks to join the biggest cinematic universe in comics.
While we know he's been an unofficial Captain America before, this would a lot more serious. While there's no word on who he might play or what movie he would appear in, fans that have campaigned for Jack Black to become a Marvel character in the past have shared some excellent ideas. We've covered how he'd look as Wolverine, but here are some of the internet's best ideas:
Of course, Jack Black was also already canon in the MCU. Totally, for real, we swear!
While Black has said he'd like to play Kingpin in the past, fans might still be hoping he'll be called in to replace Chris Pratt. Either way, we can only hope the reports are true so we can see Jack Black join the MCU in the way only he could.

Color theory for photography and retouching is more important than many would like to admit. Knowing how to create a visually strong color photography starts there. You can always go by the feeling, but failing to plan is planning to fail. Learning all about colors takes time and finding the proper resources is not an easy task. But thanks to Wacom, digital artists now have a place to get the needed materials to get familiar with all the theory necessary to get started.
Wacom teamed up with Kevin O'Connor and Natalia Taffarel to create two e-books detailing everything you need to know about colors and color management. The first PDF was created by O'Connor and will take you through everything there is to learn to get the best color from your display. Getting perfect grading on your images start with working with properly set up equipment. The second book was designed by well-known retoucher, Taffarel. She'll first teach you the basics, then show you how to apply this knowledge in Photoshop using curves, and finally how it's possible to use what you just learned in an artistic way.
No matter your experience or understanding of colors, these two books are worth the time. They are both about 40-pages long so that you can get through them very quickly. It won't be as complete as a book you could find in an art library. However, they are explaining two critical topics in a concise manner. To download them, head over to the Color Master section on the Wacom website and click the download button at the bottom of the page.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on these e-books in the comments below. Have you already read them? Did you find them interesting? Have you got any books or e-books you'd advise a photographer or visual artist to read to learn more about colors and color management?
I have read the one of Natalia Taffarel and was very impressed. It is a great lecture and very interesting. Her views on how colour relates to composition, to framing, and is essential from beginning to end of a photo shoot with high-end retouching just puts things in perspective.
After reading this really interesting information, and following Natalia Taffarels' work for about 2-3 years, I really felt like it would be a great opportunity to have her teach a class in europe.
I took the opportunity to ask her to come to Geneva, and she kindly accepted.
You can find a bit more information on the workshop we are planning if you feel like attending, and share this time with us. It will be taking place on 13-14th of June 2017. https://www.olivierborgognon.com/workshop-natalia-taffarel-juin-2017/
Are you planning to make an english version of the workshop description?
It's available as an english PDF complete description (i stuck to french for SEO on my website at this stage).
here is the link :
But i'm happy to send one out if it's to share it around, just let me know.

Usain Bolt was born in Trelawny, Jamaica, on 21 August 1986 and grew up with his parents, Jennifer and Wellesley Bolt, a brother, and his sister Sherine.
His parents ran the local grocery store in the rural area, and Bolt spent his time playing cricket and football in the street with his brother,later saying, "When I was young, I didn't really think about anything other than sports".
New! Experience The REAL Jamaica!

Since this initial publication, Bolt has won several other olympic and world records, in addition to several other regional, scholastic and business accolades.
For all this and more, including the latest on Usain Bolt (plus contact information), visit his website at http://usainbolt.com/.
Wikipedia also carries a list of his latest achievements here.
At the date of this article, Bolt holds the world record for the 100 metres, the 200 metres and, along with his teammates, the 4x100 metres relay.
He also holds the Olympic record for all three of these races. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Bolt became the first man to win three sprinting events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984, and the first man to set world records in all three at a single Olympics. In 2009 he became the first man to hold the 100 and 200m world and Olympic titles at the same time!
Bolt distinguished himself with a 200 m gold medal at the 2002 World Junior Championships, making him the competition's youngest-ever gold medalist. In 2004, at the CARIFTA Games, he became the first junior sprinter to run the 200 m in under 20 seconds with a time of 19.93 s, breaking Roy Martin's world junior record by two-tenths of a second.
He turned professional in 2004, missing most of his first two seasons due to injuries, but he competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics. In 2007, he beat Don Quarrie's 200 m Jamaican national record with a run of 19.75 s.
In May 2008, Bolt set his first 100m world record with a time of 9.72s. He set world records in both 100 m and 200 m events at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics: 100 m record time of 9.69 s broke his own previous record of 9.72 s; with a record time of 19.30 s he broke previous record of 19.32 s by Michael Johnson at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
selected pictures from flikr.com
In August 2009, a year after the Beijing Olympics, he lowered his own 100 m and 200 m world records to 9.58 s and 19.19 s respectively at the 2009 World Championships. His record breaking margin in 100 m is the highest since the start of digital time measurements.
As a result of Bolt's successes in athletics, he was named the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year for 2009. His achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname "'Lightning Bolt".
Bolt expresses a love for dancing and his character is frequently described as laid-back and relaxed.The first sport to interest him was cricket and he said if he was not a sprinter he would be a fast bowler instead. He is a fan of the Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar, West Indian opener Chris Gayle and Australian opener Matthew Hayden.
Bolt's Jamaican track and field idols include Herb McKenley and, former Jamaican 200 m record holder, Don Quarrie. Michael Johnson, the former 200m world and Olympic record holder, is also held in high esteem by Bolt. He is a huge fan of Manchester United football club.
On March 11, 2010, he launched the Usain Bolt Track and Records Sports Bar.

I doubt if the allegedly out going prime minister is aware of how much clearing up after him people have done over the years and will continue to do with the debris of his helter-skelter administration. Some naturally cause messes, debris and well yes, crap. They can be completely blind to the detritus they leave in their wake. They do not care and arrange yet another party. Party on dude. Excellent.
Some never clean up their own messes.
Over the years I have cleared up after several people, in particular where people have not thought things through and have acted hastily. I have had a very large number of dreams in which I am dealing with the consequences of other people and the messes they create through selfish self-interest. Sometimes it is impossible to clean up the mess.
This morning I had a dream in which I had to clean up a blockage caused by a large amount of rubbish left behind by people who did not give their mess a second thought. I used my plumbers' rods to shift this and then work on a drain which was blocked with crap. As I did this I was spattered with other people's crap. Nevertheless, I continued with my work until the blockage was removed and a large swathe of crap and paper came flowing down the drain.
Shit is the dreaming symbol for desire for money. There was / is a blockage caused by other people's crap {greed and avarice} and I worked at removing that blockage.
It is definitely a metaphor for something I have done numerous times, that is worked to remove a blockage and getting covered in shit for my efforts. It has in the past been a thankless task.
Party on dude, most excellent.

Vail Daily column: The process of fitness development
My first real job as a kid, aside from mowing neighborhood lawns, was dishwashing at Ponderosa Steakhouse in Athens, Ohio. Ponderosa is a Midwestern restaurant chain that sells an all-you-can-eat buffet, with the option of a steak of your choice. You can figure it out in a hurry; a rural town in Ohio with plenty of big farm boys who can eat as much as they want for $8.99.
There were a lot of dishes to be washed in an eight-hour shift. An entire summer was dedicated to mastering the skills required to excel at dishwashing. There is a science to organizing a dish tray that gets fed through the conveyor belt. Learning how to deal with angry bussers on Saturday nights who were frantic from clearing 38 plates a table every 10 minutes took a certain skill set. Yet, dishwashing is mindless and as easy as it gets.
Now think about your current career. How long did it take to become really good at your craft? A year? Maybe 10 years? Success doesn't happen overnight. It takes years. Why would fitness acquisition be any different?
Sometimes people never come back. It's all too common. A typical scenario; I get a phone call because Sue is ready to get into shape after several setbacks including childbearing, a hip replacement and the loss of her father earlier this year. "I just let myself go over the last few years. It's time to stop making excuses." Sue shows up and decides it's not for her. Maybe her hip flares up the day after an assessment, or perhaps she didn't like how sore she was. Another common trend is the individual who just wants a six pack by summertime. They don't really care about their legs or shoulder health. They need to be ready for bathing suit weather regardless if their workout puts them at risk for problems down the road.
Chris Colucci just published an interesting article on the effects of supplements, performance enhancing drugs and other methods that has caused life altering changes and death within the bodybuilding community. Past indiscretions of this somewhat bizarre sport are rearing their ugly heads.
Support Local Journalism
In his article, he stated "in the 1980s, Dr. Robert Goldman began asking top-level athletes if they'd accept a proverbial deal with the devil that guaranteed victory in every competition they entered … but also guaranteed their death within five years. Goldman consistently found that the majority of athletes would eagerly accept the deal. It became known as "Goldman's Dilemma." Would you accept this deal? Many competitive bodybuilders and even non-competitive lifters have.
Goldman's Dilemma has far greater implications than the notion of top level athletes' willingness to accept victory in exchange for death. Goldman's Dilemma carries much more benign inferences. Specifically, our willingness as lay people to go on cleanses, 90-day challenges and other crash courses to get us there right now! We refuse to accept that it might take a few months to figure out what is causing our low back pain. It often requires trial, error, regrouping and patience. It necessitates at least a good six months to a year to develop a double body weight back squat for a novice. It will take 72 to 156 training sessions spread over the course of months; diet, sleep, injury prevention and attention to progressive overload included. Exercising one day per week isn't going to cut it. Binging on pizza and beer on your cheat day won't magically help you get that six pack you're after.
What does this long process look like? You need a stress, response and an adaptation. Stress is what takes place in the gym. Let's assume you squat 100 pounds for five repetitions; this activity adequately stresses the body signaling a reason to get stronger in the first place. You hit the shower and head home. You eat a big dinner and watch television. You go to bed. After sleeping for eight hours, your body continues throughout the day to repair the damage done from squatting 100 pounds the day before. This is the response pattern. Your body uses its available resources to repair the damage. If adequate food and rest are accessible, your body will now become adapted to respond to a greater stress in the future. The next time you walk into the gym, you're going to squat 105 pounds for five repetitions. This is how fitness is acquired plain and simple. Regardless of whether you are training for a marathon or attempting to shed a few pounds. Fitness development involves an industrious attitude, time and a generous share of patience.
There is only one hard fact in the quest for fitness. Stress, response and adaptation. Rinse and repeat for several years. Years; not days, weeks or months. The training process takes time just like any other endeavor in life that you seek excellence in. The process includes setbacks like back pain, muscle soreness, strains, missed sessions and angry restaurant bussers that life brings to the table, pardon the pun. By the way, summer end "perfecting" my talent as a dishwasher at Ponderosa, I was promoted to the In Store Trainer. I got a nickel raise! So the next time you feel tempted to avoid embracing the reality of the process, remember the wise words of Warren Miller, "If you don't do it this year, you'll be one year older when you do."

What Are COVID Protocols In Your Workplace When It Comes To Days Off?
What is the COVID policy in your workplace? Have you asked? Has anyone informed you? I think there is a little bit of grey area when it comes to testing positive or being exposed and having to quarantine. I have asked several different friends if they are clear on exactly how things work as far as having to use sick days and when they are officially allowed to go back?

A characterisation of cross-impact kernels
@article{Rosenbaum2021ACO, title={A characterisation of cross-impact kernels}, author={Mathieu Rosenbaum and Mehdi Tomas}, journal={Capital Markets: Market Microstructure eJournal}, year={2021} }
Trading a financial asset pushes its price as well as the prices of other assets, a phenomenon known as cross-impact. We consider a general class of kernel-based cross-impact models and investigate suitable parametrisations for trading purposes. We focus on kernels that guarantee that prices are martingales and anticipate future order flow (martingale-admissible kernels) and those that ensure there is no possible price manipulation (no-statistical-arbitrage-admissible kernels). We determine the…

Bradley's first time is with Aiden! (Corbin Fisher)
Bradley is such a cute stud! Of course I am a big fan of Aiden, since he's oh-so muscly and likes to blow a ton of loads! But to have a cutie like Bradley plowing Aiden is even better! Enjoy this hot scene – Bradley's first time with a guy!
I'm so excited that Bradley decided to try some guy/guy action. This cute guy received a ton of great feedback when he first appeared. I was worried we wouldn't get him back, but luckily – here he is!
Bradley was extremely nervous. I knew putting him with Aiden for his first time would ease him into things (unless, of course, Bradley has a thing about multiple cum shots!) Once they started joking about Aiden being a power bottom, I knew Bradley would do just fine.
Boy, did he! When he said he was ready, Bradley hungrily kissed Aiden's lips. The handsome, tight-bodied guy, totally enjoyed licking and feeling Aiden's amazing body. Once he got Aiden's jeans off, Bradley took Aiden's cock in his mouth and went down on him.
Bradley said he liked to jump into things 100% and he proved it by taking as much of Aiden's dick down his throat as he could.
Aiden sucked Bradley off, licking his balls and going all the way down Bradley's shaft. You can see Bradley loving it, the feel of a hot guy sucking his cock, knowing how it feels better than a girl ever could.
Aiden deepthroats Bradley, then kisses his way back up Bradley's chest. Bradley slides his cock into Aiden's ass and starts fucking him on the couch. It's always fun to watch Aiden, since he gets so worked up while he's getting fucked.
It's not long before Aiden blows a load onto the couch. That only encourages Bradley to pound him harder. Bradley fucks Aiden doggy-style, then flips him over and sucks his toes while banging him.
Aiden shoots another load onto his abs. Bradley follows up by blasting his load on top of Aiden's, drenching the bodybuilder in cum.
Now I just have to see if Bradley is down for getting fucked!

Olivia from Welcome To Plathville posts videos on her Instagram which revealed a possible update on the status of her marriage with Ethan.
Welcome To Plathville's Olivia Plath recently posted some videos that hint at the status of her relationship with her husband, Ethan. The couple has gone through a rough patch in the last year and a half, after Ethan's parents, Kim and Barry, expressed their disapproval of Olivia's worldview. Season 3 has revealed a series of ups and downs for the young couple, whose issues stem from the disagreement about living in Cairo, Ethan's hometown, a place where Olivia wishes to leave because she doesn't want to dwell in the same town as Barry and Kim.
In last week's episode, Olivia saw a counselor in order to discuss the issues of her marriage. The counselor asked her some important questions concerning her relationship with Ethan, to which Olivia responded sadly. At one point in the session, Olivia seemed to agree with the counselor's claim that she wasn't in a healthy relationship. Later in the episode, Olivia asked Ethan to meet her in a rose garden with the intention to discuss something serious, but she was unable to go through with it, at least in front of the cameras. The show indicated that, after wrapping up the scene, Olivia and Ethan had a serious talk alone at the house, which resulted in Olivia deciding to take a break.

This is Gonna be Big
Chelsea Fisher :: Monday, June 28th, 2010 2:45 pm
"Huge," A new show on ABC family features biggens Nikki Blonsky of "Hairspray," and Hayley Hasselhoff, David Hasselhoff's plus-size daughter.
The show was developed by none other than Winnie Holzman, who created "My So Called Life" the short-lived nineties drama about how hard it is to be thin, alternative, and down right good looking. "Huge" is about pretty much the exact opposite: Being overweight and well, plainly, not Jared Leto or Claire Danes.
The show is set amongst teenagers at weight-loss camp, where the kids are forced to do things like eat spinach and sweat. Hasselhoff's daughter plays Amber, the not-so-fat fat girl, who is criticized for being at camp out of vanity, but is still the queen bee.
Nikki Blonsky, plays Willamina (like the modeling agency — OMG how ironic?) the "so what if I'm fat? I'm still fucking awesome!" role in the show. Apparently she illegally deals candy. No, not that kind of candy, sillly. She deals actual gummy bears to maintain those tootsie rolls.
The show is part of Alloy Entertainment which has given us teen hits such as "Gossip Girl" and "Vampire Diaries." Personally, I think Nikki Blonsky is for sure an upgrade over Blake Lively. In fact, I have high hopes for this show. All teen dramas should in the words of LCD Soundsystem "make you want to feel like a teenager, until you remember the feelings of a real live emotional teenager, then you'll think again…"
Things will get real tonight on ABC Family.

An orthodontic retainer is an appliance ( usually a removable one ) that is to be worn after removal of your orthodontic brackets and wire – i.e. when the treatment is over. When your orthodontic treatment is over and braces are removed – your teeth has a tendency to come back to there original tooth position ( before treatment tooth position ). Retainers help to prevent this tooth movement to happen. Delhi Dentist and orthodontist in East Delhi can give all types of orthodontic retainers you like to have, at our Orthodontic Treatment Center. We give both removable and fixed retainers to our orthodontic patients.
Main function of a retainer is to hold the teeth in their new position till the time they get settled in their new dental position. After we move your teeth in orthodontic treatment, we need time for re-calcification of jaw bone around the teeth. For that we need to hold the teeth for that specific time – and for this only we need a retainer……. The length of time a retainer has to be used by the patient depends on how severe the mal-occlusion was.
How to Take Care of Your Retainers
- Wear your retainer's full time, until we instructs otherwise.
- Take your retainers out while eating…and always put retainers in their case! (Most appliances are lost in school lunch rooms or restaurants.)
- Clean retainers thoroughly twice a day with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Use warm but not hot water. Brushing retainers removes the plaque and eliminates odors.
- When retainers are not in your mouth they should ALWAYS be in a retainer case.
- Initially, you may find it difficult to speak. Practice speaking, reading, or singing aloud to get used to them faster.
- Retainers are breakable, so treat them with care. If retainers are lost or broken call us immediately.
- If you have any questions or concerns about your retainers, or your retainers need adjusting, call us. Do not try to adjust them yourself.
- Always bring your retainers to your appointments.
- Retainer replacement is expensive…with proper care they will last for years!
- Remove retainers when swimming.
- Keep retainers away from hot water, hot car dashboards, pockets, the washing machine, and napkins.

Reality TV star, Angel Smith has taken a swipe at her colleague, Cross Ikechukwu Okonkwo following his conversation with the politician and aspiring president, Atiku Abubakar.
Earlier Cross while sharing a screenshot of his video conversation with Atiku, referred to Atiku as his 'Dad' and entreated Nigerians to make a guess as to who they think will emerge as the running mate for the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Cross's tweet however sparked an uproar among Nigerians who slammed him for supporting Atiku's presidential candidacy.
Reacting to this in what seems like an indirect attack on Cross, Angel Smith took to her Twitter handle to berate people who collect money from politicians to make the public vote for them and she urged them to learn to choose morals over greed.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate expressed how ashamed Cross should be for taking this path.
Expressing displeasure, she wrote:
"If you're taking money from Nigerian politicians during this period to sway the public, be very ashamed of yourself. This is a very critical time for Nigeria, one wrong move and we're finished. Choose your morals over greed.
I think it's hilarious that you people are aware that people; young and old got k*lled because of the endsars movement and still you choose to collect money to persuade the masses to put these people in power. I know I said we should abolish shame but please still have small.
Even if you fit japa, what about your friends and family that can't?"

tinyTalks Hardware Optimization
Ultra-low Power and Scalable Compute-In-Memory AI Accelerator for Next Generation Edge Inference
Behdad YOUSSEFI, Founder and CEO, Areanna AI
Edge AI hardware accelerators are either deployed on Edge servers where sophisticated AI models run on a power budget between 1-10 Watts or on Edge devices where simple AI models run at milliwatts of power. But implementing more sophisticated AI models on Edge devices requires further development of ultra-low power architectures.
Research has shown that power consumption is dominated by data communication between memory and processor. To minimize data movement, the Compute-In-Memory (CIM) architecture has been explored by companies/academics. CIM is inherently a mixed signal architecture and hence requires data converters to interface between layers of network. However, data converters have proven to be the Achilles' heel of this architecture as they take up to 98% of overall chip area and consume more than 85% of overall power consumption, defeating the whole purpose of CIM architecture. CIM also suffers from analog nonidealities which can degrade AI performance. Furthermore, the extra processing steps needed to fabricate the memory array in CIM limits the scalability of this architecture.
Areanna's architecture addresses these issues using our proprietary Compute-and-Quantize-In-Memory (CQIM) architecture where SRAM bit-cells are repurposed to construct data converters, improving power/area efficiency by over an order of magnitude. Using logic gates as its building blocks, CQIM is inherently a digital architecture and scales well with the latest process nodes. High power efficiency and scalability of this architecture brings deployment of sophisticated real-time AI models with mW power budget within reach. A CQIM prototype is implemented and taped out in standard CMOS process.

Jackery solar generator
We are looking for a Jackery review of a solar generator. The portable generator can be run on only the sun so you don't have to worry about running low on fuel. The generator will not emit any carbon dioxide or other harmful pollutants. It will also not need any maintenance, so you'll be able to enjoy the benefits of solar power without worrying about the environmental impact. This review will take a closer look into the Jackery solar panel's capabilities.
Our Jackery solar generator review began with a comparison between similar units. We were particularly interested in the Jackery Explorer 1000. It had several good features, including a good battery capacity and an advanced inverter. Despite its low price, it was able to keep our phone charged even during a blackout. Besides, it also had plenty of ports for charging. We also tested it with a 12V outlet from a car, which was useful for charging in case of an outage.
Jackery 1500
The Jackery Explorer 1500 Portable Power Station has an 1800W AC inverter and 3600W surge. It also includes 23% conversion-efficient solar cells for recharge and off-grid power. The 1800-watt powerstation can recharge and power all devices, including your smartphone, laptop, and any tools that are plugged into its USB ports. It can also be used as an AC power outlet. It has a patented design that makes it last longer than a regular power outlet.
The Jackery 1500 includes several input accessories to charge your devices, including a carrying case, a 300W AC wall adapter, and a 12-volt car charging cable. The system cannot charge your phone via USB-C, but can be charged from a car's 12-volt DC socket. The adapter for Jackery Solar Saga panels is also included in this device. Overall, this portable power station is well-equipped to support your mobile lifestyle and will give you plenty of electricity.
jackery 1000
The Jackery 1000 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a portable charging device. It can be plugged into either a car DC adapter or your home outlet. It can power a 500-watt hairdryer up to 2000 watts with its lithium-ion batteries. Unlike many other portable chargers, the Jackery is remarkably quiet and comes with a two-year warranty.
The price is also right! I have been a customer of this product since it was first introduced to me by a respected review site. It was only recently that I had the chance to try it. Nevertheless, I've been skeptical about its quality. It's possible that I'm missing something crucial to a fair evaluation, so I'm glad to present my Jackery 1000 review. Here are my findings.
Chong Dian Hui Sho Gei, or "shi Jini," is the Chinese name. It's a Chinese word that means "renewable energy". Although the name sounds interesting, I couldn't find any information. Nevertheless, I think I'll give it a try. I have heard it's a reliable source of energy so it's worth a try.
Jackery solar panel
In this Jackery solar panel review, we will take a closer look at some of the key features of this product. The product is lightweight and portable, with a conversion efficiency of up to 23%. In addition, it comes with an easy carry handle. This makes it easy for you to take with you when you go camping, hiking, or just need extra electricity. It's the best thing about it. The best part? It is affordable.
Jackery Power Station includes an integrated kickstand that makes it easy to transport. When not charging, the kickstand is extended and can support the panel. It also has a protective laminate to stop moisture and dust getting inside. It also has a zippered pouch on the back for the 3m cable. The other end plugs into the Jackery's charging port. It is also compatible with USB-C devices.

The Jackery generator is a great option for those who need a portable power source while on the road. The portable power pack comes with four foldable solar panels that can keep your equipment powered during an off-grid getaway. While gas generators may be cheaper, they do require you to purchase gas over time. The Jackery uses a high quality inverter. It produces clean electricity unlike other generators.
Before you buy this generator, however, there are a few things you need to consider. First, make sure that you need a battery that can last several hundred cycles. A lithium-ion battery will give you a longer life than a NiCd battery. A Jackery battery is very light so you don't need to worry about its weight. It is important to fully charge it, or you could end up damaging it.
Jackery should also be more transparent in its advertising. Although it claims to have a 500-watt charging power, its actual solar input is only 306. It cannot also charge more than 2 solar panels at once. The manufacturer should be more transparent and disclose whether or not Jackery will use solar panels. The company should also inform customers about the cost of spare parts and their availability. In this way, consumers can make an informed decision about whether or not to buy this generator.
Goalzero vs. Jackery
The Jackery is a portable power source that offers many benefits. The Jackery can be used to charge your gadgets by simply plugging them into its power supply. The charging time varies depending on the size of your unit and its current charge. This is why you need to make sure that you regularly recharge your device. For most people, this is the best portable power station. However, you must consider its limitations as a solution for emergencies.
While both chargers charge your gadgets via USB, they come with different battery types. Both the Jackery Explorer 150 and Goal Zero Yeti 400 use lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries are heavy and inconvenient. The Jackery Explorer 150 is lighter than the Goal Zero Yeti 150. Both portable power stations also come with a USB-C port, but the Yeti does not have one.
Other Jackery products
Jackery products are the best choice for those who need a solar charger that can withstand the elements. The Solar Generator concept was born from years of research and development into solar energy. The Explorer series was also the world's first portable lithium power series. Each model features an innovative battery management system. The company now offers a wide variety of Explorer models, including a popular Explorer 240.
The popularity of the company's solar panels has increased and the Solar Generator has become a popular choice for outdoor usage. The solar generator concept is very popular because it combines the best features of a solar panel and a portable power source. Jackery has created a great outdoor brand and product line. He also set a standard for solar and renewable charging. You can use solar power products to keep you warm and comfortable, no matter where you are in the wilderness or on the trail.

Introduction to Cake Decorating
Cake decorating is an art and a science. A cake that looks simple may have taken hours or even days to decorate, while a cake that looks complex may have been quite easy to create. Cake decorating is not difficult, but it does require some practice and patience. In this guide, we will show you some of the basics of cake decorating, including how to bake a cake, how to make frosting and icing, how to color frosting, and how to use common cake decorating tools.
The Tools You'll Need
Before you start, gather all the decorating tools you'll need. A good cake decorator has a variety of tips, a piping bag or two, some color gel or paste food coloring, a cake leveler, and either a turntable or rotating cake stand. If you don't have all of these things, don't worry – you can still decorate a cake beautifully without all the bells and whistles. That said, having all the right tools will make your life much easier, so if you're serious about cake decorating it's worth investing in them.
Getting Started with Cake Decorating
If you've ever wanted to learn how to cake decorate at home, now is your chance! Cake decorating is a fun and creative way to show off your baking skills, and with a little practice, anyone can do it.
To get started, you will need some basic supplies. You will need a cake decorating kit, which can be found at any craft or baking store. This kit should include a pastry bag, piping tips, cake leveler, and straight spatula. You will also need some buttercream frosting, fondant, and edible decorations such as sprinkles or fondant shapes.
Once you have your supplies, it's time to start decorating! The first step is to level off your cake so that it has a flat surface to work with. Use your cake leveler or a sharp knife to do this. Next, use your piping bag fitted with a star tip to pipe buttercream frosting around the edge of the cake. Be sure to smooth out any rough edges with your spatula.
Now it's time to get creative! You can use fondant to create different shapes and designs on your cake. You can also use edible decorations like sprinkles or nonpareils to add color and personality. Get creative and have fun with it!
Tips and Tricks for Cake Decorating
There are many ways to cake decorate at home, but these tips and tricks will help you get the most professional results.
-Invest in some good quality cake decorating tools. This doesn't mean you need to spend a fortune, but cheap tools will likely cause frustration and won't give you the results you're hoping for.
-Get yourself a good cake decorating turntable. This will make it much easier to ice and decorate your cake evenly.
-If you're using fresh flowers as decorations, make sure they are edible flowers that have been washed and are pesticide free.
-When it comes to icing your cake, don't be afraid to practice. You can always scrap off any mistakes and start again.
-Have patience! Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a perfect cake! Take your time and enjoy the process.
Cake Decorating Techniques
There are several ways to decorate a cake, and each one has its own unique results. The following are some popular methods:
Fondant: Fondant is a type of icing that is made from sugar, water, and gelatin. It can be rolled out and used to cover the entire cake, or it can be cut into shapes and used to decorate the top or sides of the cake. Fondant is also available in a variety of colors.
Buttercream: Buttercream is a type of icing that is made from butter, sugar, and eggs. It can be flavored with a variety of extracts and outcomes. Buttercream is often used to pipe decorations onto the top or sides of cakes. It can also be used to make flowers or other decorations out of frosting.
Ganache: Ganache is a type of icing that is made from chocolate and cream. It can be poured over the top of a cake, or it can be used to make chocolate dipped strawberries or other fruit.
Royal Icing: Royal icing is a type of icing that is made from sugar, egg whites, and cream of tartar. It dries hard, so it is often used to make decorations that will be placed on the top or sides of cakes. Royal icing can also be piped into different shapes and designs.
Advanced Cake Decorating Techniques
Advanced cake decorating techniques can help you take your cakes to the next level. If you're looking for ways to add more wow factor to your cakes, here are some ideas to try.
One way to add interest to a cake is to use different textures. You can achieve this by using different icings, such as buttercream, fondant, or royal icing. You can also add texture by using different decorations, such as edible flowers, fondant shapes, or candy.
Another way to make your cakes more eye-catching is to use color. You can add color by dying your icing or using colored decorations. You can also use food coloring to paint designs on your cake.
If you want to add a personal touch to your cakes, consider using monograms or other personalization options. You can find monogram letters at most craft stores, or you can order them online.
When it comes to cake decorating, the sky's the limit! By using these advanced techniques, you can create truly unique and amazing cakes.
Cake Decorating Recipes
Cake decorating is a fun and delicious way to show your creative side. You don't need to be a professional baker to make beautiful cakes at home. With a few simple tips and some practice, you can make cakes that are both elegant and delicious.
There are many different ways to decorate a cake. You can use frosting, fondant, orRoyal icing to cover the cake and create a smooth, polished look. You can also use various embellishments such as sprinkles, edible flowers, or candy to decorate the cake. If you're feeling really creative, you can even sculpt the cake into different shapes or create 3D designs.
No matter how you decide to decorate your cake, the most important thing is to have fun with it. Cake decorating should be enjoyable, so don't be afraid to experiment and try new things.
Cake Decorating Tips for Special Occasions
Cake decorating is a fun and creative way to show your personality and style, whether you're making a cake for a special occasion or just because. There are endless possibilities when it comes to cake decorating, from simple designs to more elaborate ones. And the best part is that you can do it all at home with just a few basic supplies.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
1. Choose the right cake pan. When it comes to cake decorating, the sky's the limit, but you need to start with a good foundation.Choose a cake pan that suits the occassion – round for birthdays, square for weddings, etc. What's important is that the cake pan is the right size and shape for the design you have in mind.
2. Gather your supplies. In addition to a cake pan, you'll need some basics like Frosting (buttercream or fondant), Spatula, Cake board, Serrated knife, Piping bags and tips (disposable or reusable), Cake leveler (optional).
3. bake your cake. Once you have your cake pan and supplies, it's time to bake your cake! Make sure to follow the recipe closely so that your cake turns out perfectly. It should be moist and flavorful – this is not the time to be stingy with ingredients!
4. Level your cake (optional). If you want a perfectly level cake for stacking or sculpting, use a cake leveler or serrated knife to even out the top of your cooled cake.
5. Frost your cake. This is where things start to get fun! Use a spatula or piping bag to apply frosting evenly over the surface of your cake. If you want a smooth finish, use an offset spatula; if you want a textured finish, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
6 Decorate as desired. Now it's time to let your creativity shine! Use piped frosting, edible flowers, candies, or other decorations to personalize your cake according to the occasion or your own taste.
Cake Decorating Tips for Kids
Cake decorating is a fun activity that the whole family can enjoy together. Here are some tips to help your kids decorate cakes like a pro:
-Start with a clean workspace. Make sure all of your supplies are clean and within reach.
-Use an icing spatula or butter knife to spread icing evenly on the cake.
-If you're using sprinkles, pour them into a bowl so they're easy to grab.
-To make stripes, use a toothpick or skewer to drag the icing back and forth.
-For other patterns, get creative! Use a fork to make wavy lines, or make dots with a toothpick.
-Let your kids be as creative as they want to be. There's no wrong way to decorate a cake!
Cake Decorating Tips for Beginners
Cake decorating is a fun and creative way to express your personality and show off your baking skills. Whether you're looking to impress guests at a dinner party or simply want to make an ordinary cake extraordinary, there are endless possibilities when it comes to cake decorating. And the best part is, you don't need to be a professional baker to create a masterpiece — with a little patience and practice, anyone can decorate a cake like a pro.
If you're new to cake decorating, start by familiarizing yourself with the basics. Here are some essential tips to get you started:
1. Choose the right cake recipe. Not all cakes are created equal — some are denser and more flavorful, while others are light and airy. When it comes to cake decorating, it's important to choose a recipe that will hold up well under the weight of fondant or buttercream icing. If you're not sure which recipe to choose, ask your local bakery for recommendations.
2. Prep your ingredients. Before you begin decorating, make sure all of your ingredients are measured and ready to go. This will help the process go more smoothly and prevent any last-minute disasters.
3. assemblage your supplies . In addition to your ingredients, you'll also need some basic supplies like piping bags, pastry tips, food coloring, and fondant or buttercream icing. If you don't have these items on hand, they can usually be found at your local craft store or online retailer.
4. take your time . Cake decorating takes patience — try not to rush through the process or get discouraged if your first few attempts aren't perfect. With practice, you'll be able to create beautiful cakes that taste as good as they look

Period: June 1st - 10th
Span: 10° - 20°
Ruler :Venus
The Libra decan of Gemini is ruled over by the planet, Venus. Natives born under this decan are not restless as the regular Gemini. Instead strive to find the true value of anything, seek curiosity and beauty and keep themselves under control. However natives of this decan are found to be more flirty than those of the other two decans of Gemini.
Natives are said to be sexy and sensuous and don't mind being in one or more relationships before entering into a committed relationship. You are likely to stray at times. You can be wooed or charmed easily. But then you do have contacts with ex-flames as well and don't mind igniting the relationship at times.
Peace and harmony means a lot to you and you strive to bring the same around you. You are too kind and polite to people. You have the large heart to forgive people and forget past mistakes. You are very diplomatic and tactful and this honours your relationships. Friends mean a lot to you. You are too generous in terms of finances. You are always full of energy, vigor and a sense of optimism is always within you.
However you have zero tolerance towards back-stabbers. Also you hate infringement of your freedom and those who develop high expectations from you. An important negative trait of yours is that you are quite indecisive. You change your mind often and that might bother those around. You can also be easily influenced and you trust people easily.

Irish Myths is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn a small affiliate commission.
I'm lumping these questions together because they all make the same general accusation, which is that Patrick used violence to spread Christianity in Ireland. And despite what certain corners of the internet might tell you, there's no evidence that St. Patrick committed genocide, nor is there any evidence that he killed or even fought with any of the native Irish he encountered during his ministry—druids included.
Let's start with the genocide "theory", and boy, is this one a doozie. In recent years, memes and social media posts, which tend to surface around St. Patrick's Day, have put forth the baseless claim that Ireland's original inhabitants were Twa pygmies from Central Africa. Allegedly the source of Ireland's folkloric leprechauns, these pygmies were subsequently wiped out by St. Patrick when he came to preach the Gospel.
If your bullshit detector is going haywire right now, that's a good sign. Your detector is in working order.
Snopes, not surprisingly, rated this claim False, and quoted a historian who called it "complete nonsense." The fact-checking site also offered this explanation for why the claim has no basis in reality.
"The earliest archaeological evidence of human habitation on the island of Ireland dates to between 10,640 and 10,860 B.C. No evidence exists to show that Twa pygmies settled the island at any point in history, beyond which it makes little sense to imagine that a traditional hunter-forager people that emerged from landlocked Central Africa would have had the geographical awareness or technical knowledge to construct and sail ships thousands of miles northwest."source: "Did St. Patrick Wipe Out an African 'Pygmy' Tribe, the First Inhabitants of Ireland?" (Snopes)
At this point, I'd also like to state for the record that there is no evidence of leprechauns ever having existed. The mischievous miniature men who now grace boxes of sugary American cereal are likely derived from the Irish god Lugh, who, according to Irish mythology, was driven underground (along with the rest of the old gods) after losing a battle to the Milesians. Over time, the once mighty god saw his reputation—and stature—diminished in Irish folk tales until he became "little stooping Lugh" or Lugh-chromain (anglicized as "Leprechaun"). To quote Irish poet W. B. Yeats:
"When the pagan gods of Ireland–the Tuath-De-Danān–robbed of worship and offerings, grew smaller and smaller in the popular imagination, until they turned into the fairies, the pagan heroes grew bigger and bigger, until they turned into the giants."source: Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry
Now, as for St. Patrick smiting pagans and doing battle with druids, such accounts are as equally folkloric as the tales of fairies and leprechauns. They were invented by believers who, perhaps not enthralled by Patrick's own version of events, wanted to inject a bit more excitement into his life story. In one account, written two centuries after Patrick's death, the saint has a Gandalf-vs.-Saruman-style showdown with a druid, which ends with Patrick sending the druid flying through the air. The druid crashes to the ground and breaks his skull. (Definitely not what Jesus had in mind when he said "Turn the other cheek.")
The reality is that Patrick seemingly cared about and respected the people he was converting. Instead of fighting druids, he would have been more likely to attempt to recruit them. As Juilene Osborne-McKnight explains:
"[Patrick's] 'biographers'—two monks named Tirechán and Muirchu, as well as many later hagiographers—mythologized Patrick into someone he never was: a man who fought with druids, used shamrocks to teach the trinity, and drove the snakes from Ireland. In truth, many druids became priests of the new religion, Patrick surely didn't need shamrocks to teach a people who already had tripartite gods, and Ireland never had any snakes in the first place!"source: The Story We Carry in Our Bones: Irish History for Americans
All this being said, just because Patrick never killed any Irishmen (or women), that doesn't mean he never killed anyone ever…

Perhaps the most important holiday on the ancient Celtic calendar, Samhain marks the end of summer and the beginning of a new pastoral year.

A time when the barrier between the land of the living and the land of the dead is at its thinnest. A time when all manner of spirits and demons are wont to cross over from the Celtic Otherworld.

by Rochelle Ratner
Hermann Goering stops and looks around him. It's 1934.
He realizes, as if for the first time, how easy it might be to
manipulate animals. Crops can be tricked to spawn perfect
seeds. On impulse, he imports raccoons from North
America. Little masked bandits, their eye sockets almost
like swastikas. He expects them to enrich the local wildlife.
He doesn't understand how quickly they'll multiply, how
they'll eat the very crops he hoped they'd nourish. Sixty
years from now they'll wipe out an entire grape harvest in
less than a week. Some blonde-haired farmers will curse
when they hear his name, others will spit, and some just
shake their heads. Raccoons in their attics and basements,
one was found beneath the toddler's bed. There must be
over a million running wild. Bounty hunters will kill 3,471
in a single year. Each locality will keep exacting records.
Rochelle Ratner's books include two novels: Bobby's Girl (Coffee House Press, 1986) and The Lion's Share (Coffee House Press, 1991) and sixteen poetry books, including House and Home (Marsh Hawk Press, 2003) and Beggars at the Wall (Ikon, October 2005).
