Shire Announces Top-line Results Of The PREVENT2 Trial
The PREVENT investigational program consists of two trials, PREVENT1 and PREVENT2. These are phase 3, randomized, double-blind, dose-response, stratified, placebo-controlled studies with an identical design. PREVENT2 randomized 592 subjects to receive once-daily SPD476, MMX mesalamine 1.2g, 2.4g or 4.8g, or placebo, over a period of 104 weeks. [ 1 ] The PREVENT1 trial results are expected later this year.
About SPD476, MMX mesalamine [ 2,3 ]
SPD476, MMX mesalamine is an anti-inflammatory drug, with each delayed-release tablet containing 1.2g of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA; mesalamine). In the U.S., SPD476, MMX mesalamine is registered as Lialda ® (mesalamine) and is approved for the induction of remission in patients with active, mild to moderate ulcerative colitis and for the maintenance of remission of ulcerative colitis. In Europe, it is registered as Mezavant ®/Mezavant XL ® and is approved for the induction of clinical and endoscopic remission in patients with mild to moderate, active ulcerative colitis and for maintenance of remission. SPD476, MMX mesalamine should be taken once daily with food. [ 2,3 ]

Emerging markets have had a rough go of late, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index down more than 9% in the past three months. Much of this decline is warranted, says Lewis Kaufman, 37, manager of the $903 million Thornburg Developing World fund.
Now that the U.S. Federal Reserve plans to reduce its monthly bond purchases—the effect of which will be higher rates on U.S. bonds—investors fear a reversal of fortune for developing nations that have benefited from an influx of capital from yield-hungry foreign investors. "I think we're entering an 18-month to three-year period where U.S. rates will be on the rise, and external imbalances will continue to be exposed," says Kaufman.
Kaufman has managed a 0.6% gain amid an emerging-market rout by focusing on domestic growth. Erik Swanson
Yet, there's plenty of reason for emerging-market investors to stay. While many emerging nations will undoubtedly need to "take their medicine," he says, domestic consumption in these countries is still growing much faster than in the developed world. "Domestic demand is the essence of the emerging-market story," says Kaufman, who points out that the slowdown in gross domestic product in many of these countries is largely due to a decline in the investment component of their economies, not a drop in consumption.
THE THORNBURG DEVELOPING WORLD FUND (ticker: THDAX) aims to capture that growth, but with as little volatility as possible. "It's hard to compound your way out of a major decline," says Kaufman, who invests his portfolio of nearly 60 holdings in companies with strong free cash flow and very little debt, and in countries that are less dependent on foreign capital; the fund hedges currencies selectively, but manages most currency risk with its country selection. Kaufman also steers clear of political hot spots. "My favorite bank in the world is in Egypt, but we don't own it," he says.
That prudence has served him well. The fund is up an average of 7.8% a year over the past three years, better than 99% of its peers. And in a bad year for emerging markets, Kaufman's fund is still in positive territory, up 0.6% in 2013. The fund carries a 4.5% load and a below-average 1.69% expense ratio.
A New York native, Kaufman tried his hand at stock-picking for the wealth management group at Morgan Stanley and earned an M.B.A. from Duke before joining Thornburg Investment Management in 2005. When he was offered an analyst position at the Santa Fe, N.M., firm, he didn't have to think twice. "Thornburg is a stockpicker's paradise," he says, and Santa Fe's proximity to skiing and other outdoor sports didn't hurt.
Though Kaufman hadn't spent much time in international markets prior to joining Thornburg, he was intrigued with investing across borders and began steering his focus abroad, initially co-managing the firm's American-depositary-receipts strategy until launching the emerging-market fund in late 2009.
Working with support from the firm's 20-person research team, Kaufman looks for creative ways to capture emerging-market growth. Historically, as much as 20% of the fund has been invested in companies that are based in the developed world but have strong ties to emerging nations. Top holdings include such names as American-based Qualcomm QCOM 1.2858290918832038% Qualcomm Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD75.62 0.96 1.2858290918832038% /Date(1419631200361-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4891566 AFTER HOURS USD75.65 0.0300000000000011 0.03967204443268976% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 95157 P/E Ratio 15.987315010570825 Market Cap 125725888567.935 Dividend Yield 2.221634488230627% Rev. per Employee 846230 More quote details and news » (QCOM) and Italian-based Prada 1913.HK -1.1363636363636365% Prada S.p.A.

Another favorite is Canadian oil company Gran Tierra Energy GTE -0.25906735751295334% Gran Tierra Energy Inc. U.S.: NYSE MKT USD3.85 -0.01 -0.25906735751295334% /Date(1419631246952-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 363231 AFTER HOURS USD3.8668 0.00680000000000014 0.43636363636363634% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 949 P/E Ratio 10.402593893542285 Market Cap 1062827087.01525 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1223930 More quote details and news » (GTE), which he considers a safe alternative to Brazil's Petróleo Brasileiro, or Petrobras (PBR.A). And exploration-and-production firm Gran Tierra has most of its assets in Latin America and has net cash on its balance sheet equal to 16% of its market value. "It has had tremendous growth, and if oil prices fall, it doesn't have the same risk as Petrobras," says Kaufman.
WHILE BOTTOM-UP STOCK DECISIONS dictate the fund's overall mix, the result is a portfolio that tends to look very different from the MSCI Emerging Market index. For example, just 2% of the fund is invested in Korea and Taiwan, which account for a quarter of the index. "I view them as fine markets, but they are very Western-facing," Kaufman says.

Instead, he's looking to countries like Thailand and the Philippines. "With the Philippines, you get frontier-like growth with a lower set of risks," he says. Meanwhile, it isn't as dependent on foreign capital as many of its Asian counterparts, though investors don't seem to be making that distinction right now. "Investors are treating emerging markets with a broad brush," says Kaufman, who views the environment as an opportunity to buy into higher-quality nations at a discount.
Kaufman is also making tactical bets in countries that have suffered as of late. He has long been underweight Brazil, for example, but is taking advantage of its slump to pick up choice companies, including private-education firm Kroton Educacional (KROT3.Brazil). Government regulation in Brazil has been impeding growth in banking and other sectors but has been a boon for education; financing is cheap. Kroton has all the financial traits Kaufman looks for in a stock—free cash flow, little debt—but its stock price, trading at about 17 times forward earnings, doesn't reflect those fundamentals. Kaufman expects the company to grow earnings in excess of 20% this year and next.
The same is true of India, where Kaufman, while cautious, is handpicking names that investors have sold indiscriminately. One such stock is recent addition HDFC Bank hDB -0.9830908375933937% HDFC Bank Ltd. ADS U.S.: NYSE USD50.36 -0.5 -0.9830908375933937% /Date(1419631378800-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 282259 AFTER HOURS USD50.4372 0.0771999999999977 0.15329626687847497% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 600 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 35985152258.3118 Dividend Yield 0.6774642573471009% Rev. per Employee 122995 More quote details and news » (HDB), the largest private bank in India. The bank, which benefits from a large and growing deposit base, is expected to increase loans at a 20% clip even while liquidity is tight. "This is a company that has the least exposure in that rising-rate environment," he says. Better yet, it could use its position to scoop up additional market share.
Now is an uncertain time for emerging-market investors, but Kaufman believes things are a little less scary for investors who understand the nuances and take the longer view. "The silver lining in this underperformance is that some of the imbalances are starting to correct," he says. Change won't happen overnight, he says, but ultimately, it's good news for investors.

Last Page- PruCanDear Diary
Prussia hastily scrawled the heading across the top of one of the last pages in a very worn journal. He knew he probably shouldnt have taken the time to come here and right this, but he knew he had to. He wasn't quite sure what was going to happen to him and there needed to be some sort of record of it. Looking around to the numerous already filled journals lining the walls of the large room he smiled, it would be a shame not to write down this moment. After all, he thought dipping his favorite old fashion pen into the ink well, authors dont let their books go unfinished. This is mein last entry in the Great Prussias diary. Putting those words down on paper had almost the same effect on him as if he had said out loud. They were painful to realize, his head started reeling. How had this happened so fast? How had the end just snuck up on him like this? Prussia took a deep breath, he thought he would have forever but now it seeme

[December 27, 2012]
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 27 December 2012 Release date- 21122012 - SEOUL-LG Electronics (LG) will display its brand new 2013 PC lineup at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
The cutting-edge selection features LG's Tab-Book, Ultrabook and All-In-One PC. At CES, LG will again highlight its ability to create advanced computing concepts which push existing technological boundaries to meet a wider range of consumer needs. All exhibited models incorporate LG's IPS display technology, ensuring outstanding picture quality with rich, natural colors.
'This year, we are introducing several innovative PCs designed with one goal in mind-to meet the needs and desires of consumers in an environment which is quickly transitioning to touchscreens,' said Il-geun Kwon, Senior Vice President and Head of the IT Business Unit at the LG Home Entertainment Company. 'At CES, LG will be displaying a diverse PC lineup, truly deserving of the next generation moniker.' Tab-Book: Hybrid Notebook and Tablet Without Sacrificing Performance The LG Tab-Book (H160) is a powerful combination of tablet and notebook. Running Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system, the compact 11.6-inch device offers everything a conventional tablet does, including convenient mobile computing and access to apps. Even though the H160 model has a slim 15.9mm body, it effectively conceals a QWERTY keyboard, which slides out from underneath the screen. The device has an impressive 12.5 hours of battery life and weighs only 1.05kg. This compact hybrid leaves nothing out in achieving its slim profile, with built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI output, a USB port and a microSD slot.
The Tab-Book Ultra (Z160) will also be on display at CES. This high-spec version of Tab-Book employs an Intel Core i5 processor for an enhanced level of performance while maintaining the slim design and light weight of the H160.
Ultrabook: High Caliber Performance in Fashionably Slim Design The LG Z360 Ultrabook's slim, sleek body belies the powerful set of advanced features contained within. It also adopts LG's stunning slim design, resulting in an overall thickness of just 13.6mm while tipping the scales at a scant 1.15kg. With Intel's third generation Core i5 processor, the Ultrabook is capable of booting up in just eight seconds. The Ultrabook's Full HD screen incorporates an IPS display which expresses an impressively vibrant 300 nit premium picture quality. Users can also effortlessly stream Full HD (1080p) video content via WiDi wireless display technology. Large files and documents open quickly and smoothly thanks to a SATA3 Solid State Drive (SSD). LG's Ultrabook also includes Windows 8 hotkeys for easy access and convenience.
AIO V325: All-In-One PC with 10-Point Touch, Optimized for Windows 8 LG's All-In-One (AIO) V325 is a PC optimized for use with Windows 8. Featuring 10-point touch capability, this PC takes full advantage of Microsoft's new touch-based operating system. Measuring 23 inches diagonally, the screen offers enough real estate to make using any app or program a refreshingly easy experience. The V325 also packs an integrated TV tuner and a picture-in-picture (PiP) function to display a web browser or any other program while simultaneously displaying a live TV stream. The V325 also features a speedy Intel Core i5 processor and a GeForce GT640M GPU for stellar multimedia and gaming performance.

Misogyny in music: four case studies
It's a year to the day since Chvrches singer Lauren Mayberry stood up to internet misogynists in a remarkable essay published by the Guardian. Men were confronted with evidence of the destructive effects of their sexist, abusive comments. Women found themselves a new role model.
Swathes of musicians joined a chorus of admiration for Lauren's courage in refusing to accept a type of behaviour regularly consigned to a box marked 'too onerous/common to deal with'. Music executives must also be regarded as complicit given the institutional exploitation of female artists.
It's difficult to say with any conviction that the situation has improved. Seedy, depraved attitudes towards women persist in mainstream forums. But, certainly, more men are being publicly called out on their harmful prejudices and victims are increasingly finding the strength to speak out.
If the purpose of Lauren's piece was to increase awareness and widen debate on misogyny then it succeeded emphatically. Twelve months on, The Pop Cop asked four more Scottish musicians to share their own experiences.
Glasgow duo Honeyblood released their self-titled debut album on revered independent label FatCat Records in July 2014 and have toured the UK, Europe and North America extensively. Singer-guitarist Stina Tweeddale, 25, announced in September 2014 that drummer Shona McVicar had been replaced by Cat Myers.
Have you ever been subjected to online misogyny?
"We've had comments on our social networks and videos. There have been messages including a picture of a guy holding a banana and two oranges in the shape of… well, whatever shape he was going for."
How about in person?
"There's been a load of things over the years. I've had people grabbing me after I've come off stage while walking about the venue. I had my dress pinned to a seat by a couple of men after a show at Cabaret Voltaire in Edinburgh. We've had people shouting comments while we are on stage… 'You're hot', 'Nice ass', 'Get your tits out'. The sad thing is it happened at really important shows for us including T in the Park and Webster Hall in New York."
How did you react to those remarks at the time?
"At these specific shows I tried to ignore them. But I lost confidence in myself. I became wary and it put a dampener on the experience, which I should have been enjoying to its fullest and giving my best performance. When things have been shouted at other shows I might address whoever said it with something non-offensive but joking. That usually diffuses the situation and puts me back in control of the stage. But speaking out can be very difficult. These people have the aid of hiding in a crowd, whereas I'm on stage with people watching."
Being in a band made up of two female members, have you ever noticed guys in your profession behave or act differently towards you?
"We have had men in the music business such as sound technicians at venues snub us for being women. They treat us differently by assuming we can't or don't play our instruments."
Where do you draw the line in terms of the type of comments you are prepared to brush off as so-called lads' banter?
"None, really. The thing is, it happens to men also. I know guys in bands who get a lot of unwanted attention from women. They've been grabbed or shouted at on stage and off. They have had their groin groped or a hand shoved wherever, and then made to feel less 'manly' if they don't enjoy it."
If internet stats were an accurate measure of popularity then Rebecca Shearing would be one of the biggest stars in the country. The 22-year-old films herself reworking the latest pop songs in her own style, typically stripping them back to keyboard and vocals. She has 142,000 subscribers and almost 30 million hits on YouTube, while her artist profile has 445,000 Facebook likes. The majority of her followers are from outside the UK. Originally from Ayr, Rebecca now lives in Edinburgh. She was a temporary member of alternative hip-hop group Stanley Odd from January to August 2014 and is currently putting together a band of her own.
How much can you relate to Lauren Mayberry's article?
"Quite a bit. I would say at least half of the messages I receive are very sexist or something sexual, like 'I want your number' or 'I want to sleep with you'. People send me dick pictures too. I don't know what's in their head that makes them think I want to see that. It's really gross."
You're only 22, how long have you had to deal with this sort of thing?
"My mum used to read through messages sent to me when I was 16 or 17 and she would delete ones that were horrible. She would scan the public comments on YouTube to see if there was anything horrendous. Now she leaves me to it. I know I'm going to get them, I've always had them. I'm used to it, which is really sad."
Is it just messages?
"There are quite a few fake profiles of me on Facebook. They used pictures from my graduation, it was really creepy. People can be creepy."
Do you think guys need to be better educated?
"Most of my messages aren't from this country, so I don't really know how people are taught about all this elsewhere. I'm not sure if they think that's what girls like, or if they're just being extremely forward, or if they're doing it for a laugh. I can't tell. It's not very pleasant."
Does the amount of misogyny you encounter online make you wary of playing live?
"I'm used to it through a text sense. If anyone was like that to my face I'd be a lot more shocked. I haven't come across that at gigs. I'm hoping not to, but we'll see. You learn how to deal with it because it's always going to be like that, which is really sad."
Katie Sutherland is a singer-songwriter from Kirkintilloch. Between 2008 and 2011 she was signed to Universal Republic/Island Records under her former stage name Pearl & The Puppets. The 27-year-old has since reverted back to her given name and released her debut album Canvas on Christmas Eve 2012 through PledgeMusic. Her Meddle With Hearts EP came out in August 2014.
Do you receive many misogynistic messages?
"I got a lot of when I was on Universal. MySpace back in the day was awful, that was when it was at its worst. I still get some but I just block them. When I was starting out I didn't know what was normal and what wasn't."
What did you do about the comments?
"The label and I used to delete them. YouTube was really bad. I used to get messages from people saying they wanted to do stuff to me. I remember showing my mum my new music video and being horrified to see inappropriate comments within hours of it being launched. Guys saying, 'Go to this point in the video, just had a wank'. It's horrible."
Do you believe these people understand the effects of what they're writing?
"I think some people don't see it as an individual – it's as if they don't think that message is going to get to the person. For example, if they send a message, a lot of them will put your name in the third person rather than direct it to you. They don't realise that you own the account."
What sort of people do you think make these comments?
"There are some who take it too far but there are also people who write inappropriate things that have nothing to do with the music – they're not being horrible or vulgar, just complimenting you too much. I sometimes meet these people at gigs and they're not how you perceive. They tend to be older men and they're lonely. What I'm trying to say is that you don't know who these people are. They can act a lot younger. People think it's OK to cross the line when they're online and anonymous."
Singer-songwriter Isobel Campbell was Belle & Sebastian's cellist/vocalist until 2002, and released two solo albums during that time as The Gentle Waves. Since leaving B&S she has brought out two records under her own name and is working on a third. Isobel, 38, has also made three collaborative albums with former Queens of the Stone Age member Mark Lanegan, earning a 2006 Mercury Prize nomination for their first, Ballad Of The Broken Seas. She currently lives in Los Angeles.
Is the online abuse suffered by Lauren Mayberry something you can identify with?
"I run my social media pages so I really understand how intrusive the bad messages can be. I'm lucky not to have had many but a weird Facebook message first thing in the morning or before playing a show can throw me for six. I read one derogatory message like that before a gig in Norwich once and I didn't want to go on stage. Eugene Kelly had to talk me round."
Are there any examples of sexism or misogyny you've faced in the music industry that you'd be willing to share?
"One manager and record label head talked about my physical appearance as if I was not there. The manager told me he did not like my press photograph because I looked like a lesbian. I'd never told him my sexual orientation, so what if I was gay? And what would be wrong with looking like a lesbian in any case? Then the label head told me he could understand me looking the way I did if I made music that sounded like Sheryl Crow. That's how a lot of these people in the industry talk about our appearance, that whole 'sex sells' mentality. I felt like a piece of meat. I was due on a 9pm flight to Glasgow. I took a cab to Heathrow, paid extra to get on the 6pm flight, got home and burst into tears.
"In 2010, a female MD of a well-known publishing company told me, 'You've got four more years, love'. Sexist and ageist. Nice. She'd never have said that to a male singer-songwriter-producer. If I'm using my brain, creating music and writing these songs, why should it matter how I look or what age I am? My songs are not of the teenybopper production line variety. I always think I'll be playing and making music till the day I drop. The old guys keep going, why shouldn't I?"
When you were working/touring with Mark Lanegan, were there instances when people acted differently towards you than they did with him?
"I think so, yes. They were always a little scared of Mark. A lot of people never believed I wrote the songs for us to sing. There was a lawyer at Beggars Banquet who specifically went out of his way to state to my lawyer that Mark must have written them. That hurt. These songs were my labours of love. Part of the reason I hired him to sing my songs was because I was so tired of how cruel people and journalists could be. They attack mean. Really personal, nasty and judgemental. I gave myself a rest and consciously hid behind a big gnarly bloke. Now I realise that wasn't really a solution for me for the long term. I got respite, yes, made some good work that I'm proud of, but I also missed out on some other good stuff."
Have you ever suffered inappropriate behaviour while on stage?
"When I toured Ballad Of The Broken Seas in 2006, we'd been driving in a van for 10 hours to get to a gig in Cologne. I felt like Quasimodo, my body was sore and twisted and run down after the long drive. I said something to the crowd about being tired and some guy shouted, 'Shut up and play some sexy music'. I don't think anyone would shout that to a guy.
"One time, when we were playing a show in Italy, a band member alerted me to the fact that a couple of guys were trying to take pictures up my skirt. That was really upsetting. I'd never thought anyone would be so disrespectful."
What positive steps can be taken to change attitudes?
"Gender issues are a very sensitive subject but dialogue, debate and discussion can only be a good thing. We are constantly sent complex mixed messages and I admit at times I've been a bit confused about my role as a woman. It's easy to sit in the shadows and criticise – much braver, bolder to put yourself out there with your head on the block and actually take a risk and do something.
"I'm grateful for brave, strong women who are prepared to speak up. As women we all discover our own personal coping mechanisms, or things we tell ourselves to feel better. Men and women are both conditioned from such an early age. Some people are not even aware that it's happening or of what they're implying, saying or doing. Society is steeped in it. It doesn't have to reach the crazy repulsive heights of the vile internet misogynists. It can be subtler than that. In everyday life. Sometimes even appearing from informed, cultured, educated folk one may expect to know better. And sometimes, dare I say it, that person can be a woman. Or perhaps an ignorant work colleague or family member. It takes many shapes and forms.
"The next time I hear a tasteless sexist comment, if I feel safe enough, I've promised myself to speak up and tell them, 'I can't accept what you say'. We need to keep this conversation going."Leave a comment
I've never met anyone who loved living with their parents as much as I did. Obviously there's little choice in the matter when you're of school age, but when most of my peers began renting flats or staying at halls of residences, I wasn't even remotely tempted to leave the family home.
I couldn't complain about a thing. I paid digs out of my two part-time wages and in return I enjoyed perks aplenty: my mum's heavenly cooking; my dad's wisdom and ability to repair anything; keys for the family car; my clothes hand-delivered with the scent of lemon Persil. It was a cushy deal.
I was 22 when I eventually plucked up the courage to leave home. Without meaning to sound unduly harsh to the people who brought me into the world and doted on me, the question of whether we were better together was irrelevant.
There comes a time when you have to take responsibility for your own actions, to make mistakes and learn from their consequences. I detached myself from the financial security of living under my parents' roof and my disposable income took a hit, but I was in control of all the major decisions which affected my day-to-day existence. That feeling of empowerment and self-determination is exhilarating.
This was my first experience of true independence. If it was yours too, then you'll know that choosing to follow your own path is not about who or what you've left behind. It's about believing your future should be in your own hands, for better or worse.Comments Off
Music Alliance Pact – September 2014
A few months ago, The Pop Cop published a 'day in the life' feature on Bronagh Monahan which touched on the frustrating scenarios that unsigned musicians commonly encounter when striving for recognition. With Bronagh and her career about to experience a change of scenery, now seems like a good time to introduce her to new fans through the Music Alliance Pact network of blogs and their readers. Help yourself to the exclusive free download of Wait, taken from the Flicker EP released earlier this summer under her Bronagh & The Boys guise.

SCOTLAND: The Pop Cop
Bronagh Monahan – Wait
Scotland has long been an embracive, inclusive place to live. When looked at in the context of the music sector, both performer and population reap the benefits. Bronagh Monahan is a wonderful example of this. Since moving from Belfast to Glasgow in 2008 she has given so much to her adopted home, immersing herself in the local music scene, hosting live nights for fellow songwriters and showcasing her sultry piano-pop and striking vocals in weekly residencies. Such drive and enthusiasm can't be contained, though, and the next stop in Bronagh's search for stardom is London, where she'll no doubt dazzle another city.

there's nothing wrong with being gay. I just hate when people promote it and advertise like crazy that their company supports it. Like okayyyyy you support gay marriage but if gays wanna be equal then they shouldn't support anything. It's the same thing like what morgan freeman said about black history month and racism, just don't talk about it. That's what we have to do with this too, just dont talk about gay rights and support and people will learn on their own to respect them instead of getting fed up of looking at rainbows in walmart commercials

I cant name a culture that doesn't have its own form of marriage. Christianity isn't the only religion in the world, so why should minority religions that accept gay marriage have to be subject to law preventing it made by single-minded twats?!?!

Remember how you felt when you first saw – or God forbid, played – Wii Music? Remember the shock when you first learned just how many damn people are subscribed to Farmville? Remember the fear when you first noticed the ratio between actual games and baby games at your local store?

Depressing Fact #1: Just Dance has now sold over two million copies since releasing last November. Two million.
Depressing Context: This is Just Dance.
Depressing Fact #2: Just Dance's sales numbers are double those of Bayonetta, which released on both 360 and PS3, and which scored a Metacritic review average of 88. Just Dance is Wii only and scored an average of 47.
Depressing Context: This is what people look like when they play
Just Dance.
Depressing Fact #3: Just Dance recently became the #1 selling game in the UK, according to a report published by our sister site, Edge.
Depressing Context: This is what professional dancers, hired by Ubisoft for an official publicity event, look like when they play Just Dance.
Depressing Fact #4: Just Dance, by topping the UK charts, has surpassed titles like Pokémon, FIFA, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Modern Warfare 2 and, in an ironic semantic twist, Just Cause 2.
Depressing Context: This is what a random Teen Wolf cosplayer at WonderCon in San Francisco looks like when playing Just Dance. The fact that he doesn't come across as any more ridiculous than the non-costumed people playing Just Dance is a sad statement indeed.
This could be the future of gaming. Are you ready?

Before a name: הבחור החשוב - הבה"ח Habachur hashuv; "The important young man" המלומד בניסים = המלוב"ן Hamulumad benisim; (one) who has practiced many miracles - used for sfaradic Rabis who deal with "Torat Hanistar" רב/רבי = ר׳; rav/rabi; "rabbi...". OR רבינו; rabeinu; "our rabbi" הרב = הר׳; harav; "the rabbi". הרב רבי/רבינו = הר״ר; harav rabi/rabeinu; ...
Because "Alfasi" is really "al-Fasi". "Al-Fasi" is Arabic for "the Fezite" (Fez being the city in Morocco where he lived). So kind of like how the word "of" gets swallowed in "USA", the word "the" got swallowed in "Rif". Wouldn't have made much sense to make his acronym stand for "Rabbi Yitzchak The".
Then, too, we have to deal with some of the derogatory ones. A couple to start with: י"ש or ימ"ש = yimach shemo יש"ו = yimach shemam vizichram or yimach shimo vizichro (Great acronym by the way!) שר"י = shem resha'im yirkav
In a sense it goes back at least to the Gemara. R' Sherira Gaon points out that the names of some Amoraim that begin with ר (for example: Rabbah, Rava, Rafram) are actually shortened forms of "Rav" plus their personal name: רב+אבא=רבה (or רבא); similarly רב+אפרים=רפרם; and so forth. Also "Reish" (Lakish) is a similar short form for רבי שמעון.
און דאס גלייכן, which means "and similar." So yes, it's exactly equivalent to etc., 'וכו, et al. Sometimes instead you find used .א.א.ז.וו, which stands for און אזוי ווייטער - and so forth.
הבוכ"ע is an acronym for הבורא כל עולמים, meaning "the Creator of all worlds." To verify this, note the correlation of the acronym and the expression in this Google search.
I suspect that that refers to the Chazon Ish. The letters fit, and the Chazon Ish's rulings are often quoted alongside those of the Mishna Berura.
I don't know the origin, but in one form or another it goes back at least to the Rambam: he began each section of his major works with the phrase בשם ה' א-ל עולם (though this has been omitted in most later printings). There are halachic opinions that the letter ה has kedushah when it is used to represent Hashem's name (since it is one of its letters), and ...
The counts are number of occurrences of the phrase in Tanach. אחרים לעבדם ולהשתחות להם 3 איפה לפר ואיפה לאיל 2 אחד לחטאת ואחד לעלה 2 אתננה לו ותהי לו 1 אתן לזרעכם ונחלו לעלם 1 אתכם לעולם ואתם לא 1 אתכם לחרב וכלכם לטבח 1 אתך לשמה וישביה לשרקה 1 אתיכם לחרבות ומזמרתיכם לרמחים 1 אתו לאשם ואת לג 1 את למך ויקח לו 1 את לבו ויהי לעת 1 את לבו ואת לב 1 ...
The correct words are "Hashem Yikom Damav". We refer to the murder of one person as "Shefichas Damim" , the blood being plural. Update: I just saw in the daf yomi that there is discussion about why the Torah uses the plural regarding the blood of Hevel (Abel) when he was killed by Cain. One answer given is because when one is killed, all his potential ...
There is a Sefer Halacha Pesuka (Volume 1 & Volume 2) on Yoreh Deah. If you compare the references in the Kaf Hachayim YD 75 to the Halacha Pesuka 2:75 you will see that the references matches.
From what I understand, your second question is based on the assumption that every column begins what a Vav. While this seems to be common practice, it is frowned upon by the Poskim who seem to claim that it has no basis in halacha. See for example the Keseth HaSofer at the end of Ch. 4 - and the footnote there. He claims that the ווי העמודים - as it's ...
Well let's see here, If you're looking for a backronym in Tanach it's pretty slim pickings inspiration-wise. Ezekiel 7:20: וצבי עדיו לגאון שמהו וצלמי *ת*ועבתם *ש*קוציהם *ע*שו *ב*ו על כן נתתיו להם לנדה and statues of their awful, disgusting things they made ... Isaiah 38:12-13: מיום עד-לילה *ת*שלימני. *ש*ויתי *ע*ד-*ב*קר כארי I was ...
ב"ה stands for Be'ezras Hashem - which is technically the Hebrew translation for B'siyata Dishmaya.
There is a sefer called Otzar Roshei Teivos - see it here and there is an older sefer with the same name that I can't find online, but probably your average Jewish book store would be able to get it for you. (Asuming you aren't needing to look these up when near a computer and want a small sefer for reference. The older sefer is smaller than the one I ...
Stands for "Hashem Yikom Damo" -- "may God avenge his (her/their) blood." Used after the name of a Jew who was murdered.
The entire "official" list (brought by the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch) is: את לבבך ואת לבב (symbolizing teshuvah) - Devarim 30:6 אני לדודי ודודי לי (symbolizing tefillah) - Shir Hashirim 6:3 איש לרעהו ומתנות לאביונים (symbolizing tzedakah) - Ester 9:22 אנה לידו ושמתי לך (symbolizing Torah, a "place of refuge" for us) - Shemot 21:13 and out of order: 'ויאמרו ...
Various people always come up with phrases starting with "תהא שנת" whose initials are the standard alphabetic representation of the year's number (or a variant thereof when the standard is a bad word like תשמד). I suppose we can do so collectively here. I'm making this answer community wiki to collect such. Please add to the list. תהא שנת... עבודת ...
I was once explained in Yeshiva that it can stand for ודייק ותמצא קל. (After a little Googling, I found this) (A little more Googling, and I found this and this) Some of the things it might stand for: ודייק ותמצא קל ודוחק קצת ודוק וקל ועיין דברי ותמצאם קלים ודקדק ומצא קושטא
Chapter 7 of the Petach Davar to the Chumash Shai LaMorah (printed at the end of Sefer Bereshit) says the following (my translation, my emphasis): It is known the custom of writers to put a quotation mark in words that are the names of letters, vowels, numbers, foreign words, etc. And at times to emphasize the word. And at times instead of parentheses. ...
This is the closest I found to your rough translation: ודייק ותמצא קל Sources: here, and here This one seems the most likely, since I also found it in ערוך השלחן (Choshen Mishpat 1:3) Two others I found (also quite similar): ועיין דבריי ותמצאם קלים and ודקדק ומצא קושטא
Ani Ldodi v'dodi Li. Is the most common. It is supposed to be a segula for marriages occurring during the month. It is also supposed to be siman for the gates of Chesed being opened and repentance being accepted(taken from the Zohar Shiur for Parashat Re'eh found at HaZohar.net). In conjunction with that the acronym is also found in the Posuk in ...
I don't know when it started (or the answers to the other parts of the question), but I recall seeing "ר״מ במז״ל" in the ר״ן's commentary on the רי״ף (although that was, of course, a more recent reprint, and I don't know what the ר״ן himself wrote).
The Lubavitcher Rebbe writes that while he did not receive an explicit instruction, the custom among many old printers (many of whom were big Torah scholars) to write the simple and not the final letter(look in most gemaras on Daf Chof, for example). Practically, most letters that were written in the Chofs (the 60's) were written with a smiple chof. I've ...
BS"D (or בס״ד) stands for B'sayata d'shmaya, which translates to "with the help of heaven." B"H (or ב״ה) used in the same context at the top of the page stands for B'ezrat Hashem, which translates to "with God's help." בס״ד is the Aramaic version, ב״ה is the hebrew version, and they mean exactly the same thing. It may be that in other contexts, ב״ה means ...
I use these websites to search for abbreviations. They're not perfect, but they have a good number. קיצורים וראשי תיבות בעברית ראשי תיבות
I think you hit the nail on the head.
My digital forensic analysis (levels adjustment): I'm not certain about the last letters, but I'm sure there is a small צ (between the ח and first צ) and a descender under the first letter. The descender could have resulted from having been folded against the first letter, but there is no evidence of other letters transferring. ץאא חצצ''צ בוריץ Maybe ...
A possible candidate would be the Amora אביי - whose real name was נחמני but was called אביי by the acronym for אֲשֶׁר-בְּךָ יְרֻחַם יָתוֹם. Read more details here. Unless you want to argue it was Avraham Avinu: אַבְרָהָם, כִּי אַב-הֲמוֹן גּוֹיִם נְתַתִּיךָ
