Press-release: Gazprom adopts comprehensive cost-reduction measures
The Gazprom Board of Directors took notice of the information about the cost optimization (reduction) trends across Gazprom Group in 2016.
It was highlighted that Gazprom pursued the consistent policy of improving the cost management practices, reducing operating costs and maximizing the value for money ratio. In an unstable economic environment this work is highly relevant, therefore Gazprom is using all possible means and exploring new opportunities for further cost optimization.
The cost optimization strategy is focused around several key areas: generation of the Investment Program and the Budget, development and execution of the cost reduction program, implementation of cost optimization plans by types of activity and procurement of goods, works, and services.
At the budgeting stage, Gazprom optimizes a number of expenditure items by using a standard setting approach, determining specific cost parameters and finding the best deals on the market. The costs are ranked according to the level of significance for performing the current activities and unconditionally fulfilling all the obligations. In respect of the Investment Program preparation, the projects are divided by the degree of priority for achieving the Company's strategic goals and meeting peak demand during the autumn-winter period.
Moreover, the Company annually approves the Cost Optimization (Reduction) Program which defines additional cost reduction provisions for specific areas of the operating, investment and financial activities.
This approach enables Gazprom to respond to adverse changes in the economic conditions and ensures sufficient flexibility in implementing all major projects of the Company.
Gazprom also carries out a comprehensive action plan to optimize costs in individual lines of business. It contains a list of practical measures for reducing the current investment, managerial and other costs. The most important ones are cutting down the expenses on the supply of goods, execution of works and rendering of services for Gazprom Group, as well as regulating prices for purchased materials and equipment.
A significant economic effect is achieved through planning and centralized procurement. In its procurement strategy Gazprom follows a number of fundamental principles, such as meeting the Company's demand for goods (works, services) having the required price, quality and reliability parameters, achieving value-for-money for goods (works and services) and ensuring the transparency of purchases.
Stringent control is maintained at every stage of competitive procedures – from the confirmation of the need to make a purchase and the control of its initial (maximum) price to the decision making about the final cost of procured goods (works and services). The procurement results are taken into account later when Gazprom Group companies draw up and adjust their budgets, while the performance of the signed contracts is thoroughly monitored.
Gazprom seeks to further improve its cost optimization measures with due account for the best practices in this area.
The Management Committee was tasked to continue with the cost optimization (reduction) efforts this year.
Information Directorate, Gazprom

How the U.S planned to destroy the moon>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Poster Handle
Post Content
The aim was not to destroy the moon, just to put on a show to impress/scare; being visible from many points on Earth, more so than Nevada, Bikini Atoll etc.
America was not alone in their attempts, the Russians had a similar agenda.
A few of us have known about this for a long time.
On August 22nd 1964, an extraterrestrial who goes by the name Aetherius spoke through a trance medium, here is part of it;
"Man is now allowed for the first time, when he is able, to land one or more of his kind upon the surface of Luna. He is also allowed, if he be fool enough, to bombard the surface of Luna in
whatever way he so chooses. Before this he was not allowed to do so and at least two attempts to bombard Luna with atomic warheads were directly frustrated by us. Neither can you, America, blame Russia for both attempts. Please note that."
This information appeared in a booklet called 'Join Your Ship' which was published in 1964 by The Aetherius Society.

We all know that Aamir Khan is now married to Kiran Rao. But earlier he was married to Reena Dutta for 16 years. Reena was his neighbour.
He fell in love with Reena at a very young age and got married before his first film 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak ' was released.
He married her against his parent's wishes as she belonged to a different religion. The duo separated in 2002 after being married for 16 years.
We bring to you rare pictures of Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta.

I have limited experience in the west but my infrequent observation of temples there indicates that they are well utilized. In the east, the smaller temples I am familiar with get strong usage when you would expect they would - in the evenings and on Fridays and Saturdays. Midweek during the middle of the day, less so. Again, just within my experience.
I think they very little to do with symbolic statements or public attraction. If any statement is being made, it might be to the membership - that they should feel comfortable settling in these communities as temple attendance will not be a problem for them. I think the presence of the Louisville temple has benefited our area in that way.

I find most LDS temples are not in high traffic areas or too grandeur
(Manhattan) if they are.
I do admit I was embarrassed by the grandness of the San Diego and D.C. temples towering over the main freeways. However, years later I find that the local neighborhoods thrive with these two temples. The property value increased in San Diego as well as new office centers.
But, in most cases you have to be looking for the temple to find it, especially Hawaii, Hong Kong, Boston, Orlando, and the new South Florida temple.

Always & never Lyrics by Coheed And Cambria
Always & never by Coheed And Cambria
If beauty sits the child's kiss
Of Laughter I amend
Can you catch her if she runs?
With this I would share with you
All of this count to no end
Behind your sealed eyes you miss
All that I've done for you
Will you catch me when I run?
If timing plays evident
What would you say when you're late?
Stay with me and fall asleep
Pray to god for no bad dreams
Here... I'm still waiting here, my dear
For one kiss from you
Here... I'm still waiting here, my dear
To kill all of you...

With faster lenses, larger image sensors and increased resolution, the new Ricoh Theta S, which was launched today at IFA 2015, is a decidedly more grown-up version of the quirky spherical camera.

Following a decidedly ho-hum reception to its EOS M mirrorless interchangeable lens camera in 2012, Canon decided not to even release its follow-up, the M2, in the US. And when its successor, the M3, rolled out across Asia and Europe earlier this year, it looked like Canon was ready to give up on the US mirrorless market for now. However, the firm has announced the 24-megapixel shooter will finally get a US release later this year.Read More

Some movies wear plots quite clearly in their titles. For instance, the first trailer for the upcoming Hell Baby seems to confirm that the film is exactly as it says on the tin. When expectant parents Vanessa and Jack buy a massively haunted New Orleans mansion, they're oblivious to all the signs telling them to stay.
Vanessa soon falls under the house's infernal spell, causing her baby to become the monstrosity of the movie's title – not to mention the target of an elite squad of Vatican exorcists.
Hell Baby comes to us from directors Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon – both of Reno 911! The movie stars Leslie Bibb (Zookeeper), Rob Corddry (Warm Bodies), Keegan Michael Key (Key and Peele), and Paul Scheer (Rapturepalooza). Garant and Lennon also have significant onscreen roles.

It was no Friday night picnic for No. 1 Boston College, but the Eagles (6-1-0; 4-0-0 Hockey East) stayed perfect in league play, outlasting UMass-Lowell, 4-2, before 5,162 at Tsongas Arena, and spoiling the River Hawks' league home opener in the process.
The Eagles got the quick drop on Norm Bavin's River Hawk squad (2-2-0; 0-1-0 HE) with Paul Carey's shorthanded strike just 3:18 into the contest, while BC captain Tommy Cross was cooling his heels in the box for a two-minute interference call. At 4:24 of the middle stanza, Steven Whitney stretched BC's lead to 2-0 with his third tally of the season.
The River Hawks, however, rallied before their home crowd and knotted the game on second-period tallies by Michael Budd and Matt Ferreira. Undaunted, the Eagles responded when freshman Johnny Gaudreau converted a feed from Cross at 18:42 for his fourth goal of the season and the eventual game-winner.
The two teams combined for 14 penalties (seven each), but neither could register a power-play goal. Senior Barry Almieda put an exclamation point on the BC win with an empty-netter with 65 ticks left in the game, erasing any hopes of a River Hawk comeback.
BC netminder Parker Milner, the game's first star, ran his personal record to 6-1-0 on the season, registering 27 saves. Meanwhile, Lowell's Doug Carr (1-1-0) stopped 16 BC shots.
On Saturday, the two teams meet again at BC's Conte Forum.
UMass 2, Boston University 2 (OT)
It's shaping up to be another learning season for the UMass Minutemen (1-2-2; 0-2-2 HE), which might leave fans in Amherst feeling restless. The Minutemen, who were BU coach Jack Parker's pick to be the surprise team in Hockey East this year, jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a first-period power-play strike by T.J. Syner and Conor Sheary's second of the season at 6:08 of the second. But the Terriers (2-2-1; 1-1-1 HE) kept applying pressure, and knotted the score on even-strength goals by Matt Nieto (5) at 15:45 of the second and Sahir Gill (2) at 5:16 of the third. From that point on, it was the Kieran Millan/Kevin Boyle Show, as the BU and UMass netminders, respectively, stopped everything that came their way, including during the five minutes of overtime. The two teams meet again Saturday, at BU's Agganis Arena.
Merrimack 4, Vermont 1
The Vermont Catamounts (1-2-0; 0-1-0 HE), like alum Tim Thomas' Bruins, may have been suffering a hangover after last Sunday's dramatic come-from-behind 5-4 win over the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Friday night, paced by Jesse Todd's two goals, the undefeated Merrimack Warriors (5-0-0; 3-0-0 HE) ruined Vermont's homecoming, pasting a 4-1 loss on the Catamounts at Gutterson Fieldhouse. Visiting Merrimack put themselves in the driver's seat from the get-go, on two first-period goals by Ryan Flanigan and Todd. Vermont's Sebastian Stalberg cut the lead in half with a power-play goal at 5:08 of the second, but Todd responded with his own power-play tally at 16:50. MC's Shawn Bates capped the scoring with another power-play marker at 17:17 of the final stanza. MC's Joe Cannata finished with 22 saves, while UVM's Rob Madore (23 saves) absorbed the loss. On Saturday, the teams renew acquaintances, again in Burlington.
Maine 5, Providence 4 (OT)
Keep an eye on Nate Leaman's Friars (2-2-1; 2-1-0 HE). Virtually left for dead before the season started, Providence has been raising eyebrows since starting 2-0-0 in league play. But Tim Whitehead's Black Bears weren't ruffled, even after surrendering a 4-3 lead when Friar Steven Shamanski's rung up his first tally of the season at 13:50. In a true seesaw battle in Orono, the Black Bears regrouped in overtime and scratched out a 5-4 league win, thanks to senior Brian Flynn's strike 2:50 into the extra session. Maine's Joey Diamond had a big night, with three points on two goals and an assist on Flynn's game-winner. The two squads locks horns again on Saturday night at Alfond Arena.
New Hampshire 2, Union 1 (OT)
Finally, a win for the Wildcats (1-4-1; 0-3-0 HE). And, even though it was a non-conference bout, you can bet Dick Umile will take it. In typical fashion this year, his Wildcats did it the hard way. After a scoreless first period, New Hampshire took the lead on John Henrion's unassisted tally at 4:04 of the second. However, the Wildcats couldn't keep the Dutchmen (2-1-3) off the board, and Mat Bodie tied the game at the 8:39 mark of the third. But Wildcat Kevin Goumas saved the night for 4,972 UNH faithful at the Whittemore Center, potting the winner 31 seconds into overtime. UNH's Matt DiGirolamo stood tall, finishing with 37 saves for the Wildcats, while Union's Roy Groesenick had 21 stops in a losing effort. UNH hopes to make it two in a row on Saturday, when the Wildcats, looking for their first Hockey East win, face off against the Northeastern Huskies in Durham, N.H.

Florida-based Cardiff International Inc. announced last week the finalization of its acquisition of Romeo's NY Pizza.
"We are pleased to add them to our growing portfolio. We're excited to have acquired Romeo's NY Pizza, a family owned business, with great management, assets and lucrative margins and high growth potential," Cardiff CEO Kathy Roberton said in a news release.
Romeo's NY Pizza first opened in Paterson, N.J., in 1945. It specializes in authentic New York pizza with house-made dough, as well as chicken wings, Philly steak subs, calzones and salads. Romeo's President Gene Romeo said the opportunity to now be part of a public company provides the concept with the "platform necessary to expand the business."
"Now with the ability to raise money with preferred shares I don't have to deal with bank loans and pledge my firstborn, with CDIF I can use the liquidly of the public company to attract investors," he said in the release.
Romeo's is in negotiations to open a quick-serve location in the Hartfield International Airport in Atlanta.

I recently (finally) received the Google Chromebook in the mail. After over 2 weeks of intense waiting, it is here, and has absolutely matched all of my expectations. The device is thin and light and amazing looking. It is quite and never gets hot, even after extended use. The battery life has easily outmatched the advertised 6 hours, with pretty standard web use and writing (some streaming video and some streaming music as well). After a few hours, I did not want to trade it for anything else, and preferred it to any other laptop I've ever had.
I've looked at a couple of Ultrabooks, the MacBook Air and tablet/keyboard options, and nothing touches the power, simplicity, weight and price. While the Intel (x86) based ultrabooks and MBA are great, powerful and capable, they are easily 3 to 4 times more expensive than the Chromebook, a cost which is hard to justify in my mind. I have used the Asus Transformer Prime with keyboard dock, as well the Nexus 7 with Bluetooth keyboard, and neither experience rivals the ease of use and content creation that the Chromebook offers.
The Chrome OS provides the web, unedited. you can use Flash, HTML or whatever, all within the familiar confines of your Chrome browser. Simply linking it to your Google account provides synchronization of bookmarks, open tabs and passwords. Chrome OS regularly updates itself, more like a mobile OS than your Windows or Mac box. You can instantly allow other users "guest access" or have multiple Chrome users, something mobile operating systems are missing right now (yes I know you will be able to provision guest accounts in tablet mode for Android 4.2). I've heard many complain about the speed of this little ARM monster. I have not found that an issue myself, because I installed the "block Flash" Chrome extension, and only have to deal with it, when I want to. Netflix is not working right now, either from the browser or the Chrome extension, but Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant Video have played video without a hitch. Unsurprisingly YouTube looks great (duh) the only thing that will stop you is a slow connection.
The Chromebook has HDMI output, and I displayed 1080p easily on my TV. You could easily use it to control a presentation or just share information on the larger screen (or movie night!). If you need a traveling, writing computer as well as a clutch living laptop, I see the $250 Chromebook meeting your needs. If you are looking for something more (i.e. video/photoediting, gaming), it will let you down. The biggest concern many of you might have now is the inability to install iTunes. There are numerous ways around that, and if you upload your music directly to the Google Music Application you'll find it accessible on any device.
There are some weaknesses to the Chromebook. If you have too many tabs opened at the same time, it will sometimes reload individual tabs when you switch to them. While it does have offline mode (and syncs well when you go online), if your connection is unstable it can be annoying. While the Chromebook isn't "For Everyone," I think most can find use for it, and it will replace most users' travel or living room needs. I know that it easily replaced the Asus Transformer Prime in my lineup, and think that coupled with either an iPad Mini or Nexus 7 is far superior to any iPad or Android tablet option. Google is transforming computing by bringing the cloud to mobile devices and your living room, in manageable and functional bites.

Wilhelmsen Ships Service (WSS) Finland last week announced a new Agency Network Agreement which will strengthen the company's coverage of thirteen key ports around the country's coastline. The announcement coincided with an Open House event which celebrated 150 years of the company.
Invited customers from the Helsinki area were able to experience a demonstration of work within the welding workshop as well as an exhibition of the company's newest products, including Gamazyme products, gas welding equipment, a new Ultrasonic machine, Unitor CIP, air tools, immersion suits including the test kit, life rafts, life jackets and chemical suits. Guests were also able to view the WSS premises and try their hands at welding and plasma cutting.
"Our customers felt honoured to have been invited to celebrate 150 years with us," commented Anita Akerlund, General Manager for Finland.
"They feel that it is important to have a reliable 150-year-old company as a supplier and expect even better service from us over the next 150 years!

Radiation therapy is a critical component of the multidisciplinary management of invasive breast cancer. In appropriately selected patients, radiation not only improves local control, sparing patients the morbidity and distress of local recurrence, but it also improves survival by preventing seeding and reseeding of distant metastases from persistent reservoirs of locoregional disease. In recent years, considerable progress has been made toward improving our ability to select patients most likely to benefit from radiotherapy and to administer treatment in ways that maximize clinical benefit while minimizing toxicity and burden. This article reviews the role of radiation therapy in invasive breast cancer management, both after breast-conserving surgery and after mastectomy. It focuses particularly on emerging evidence that helps to define the clinical situations in which radiotherapy is indicated, the appropriate targets of treatment, and optimal approaches for minimizing both the toxicity and the burden of treatment, all in the context of the evolving surgical and systemic management of this common disease. It includes a discussion of new approaches in breast cancer radiotherapy, including hypofractionation and intensity modulation, as well as a discussion of promising avenues for future research.

I am so tired of people mixing me up with this other girl who is obviously a bad person. I just moved here from Kentucky and already seem to have a bad reputation just because of my name!!! My name is Samantha CONNELLY. Who is this girl and why am I getting looked at like some horrible person when I tell people my name. I just moved here and I'd like to get a job but if I am mistaken for this girl it may be impossible. Does anyone know her? I'd just like to know a little about this girl since I am almost on a daily basis confused with her. Is she really this bad of a person cause all I get is horrible looks and ... it just makes me very uncomfortable. I have been told I resemble this girl in some ways too....

#8 Nov 16, 2010
She was in a car wreck a few years ago. Left a guy there in the middle of the road and he died. She's a piece of trash. Does she really work at the Oak Hill foodland?
#9 Nov 16, 2010
shes been at foodland for about 3 weeks now. she must have had to go get a job since she wont be able to steal off of her mother. shes a theif and liar. she`ll be stealing from them if they dont keep a close eye on her.
#10 Nov 16, 2010
I thought the Sam Conley yall talkin about that runs around with Rita Moore, at night wworks at wild and wonderful.. bad news straight up.. better get your name understood, not a good person to get mixed up with at all...
#11 Nov 16, 2010
This is Samantha Conley, the one that works at foodland...I don't kow why I have a bad reputation for. I admitI DID hang around with Rita Moore but not any longer because she's the piece of trash and that's is probably why people think "I" am. As far as the wreck goes...if you were not there then you don't know what happened. That's F'd up that people are still talking about something that happened over 5 years ago. I don't understand why I'm bad news because I'm straightening my life up, paying for my own car. If anyone has a problem with me please feel free to come to foodland and talk to me. I get off at 4:00 today.
Don't be hiding behind your fake names and fake locations. If you have a problem with me come talk to me.
#12 Nov 16, 2010
who did she get in a wreck with?
#13 Nov 17, 2010
I was told she split up a family? I met this girl at the bar and she told me the other Sam was sleeping with the owner and his wife found out!! Apparently she knew he was married and still was messing around with him. Men are DOGS but if girls weren't whores then things like that wouldn't happen. His name was Pony or something crazy? I just moved here and now it kind of stinks because just because my name is similar to this girls, I get looked at like a total piece of shit. I'm telling you RIGHT NOW I will NEVER go back to that bar because she is REALLY not liked there and I don't want to take a chance of being mistaken for a home wrecker again. I was cheated on by my ex husband and I know how bad of a time in my life that was.
I'll be making a trip to foodland to see this girl for myself. Thank you all for your feedback.
To Sam:
You don't understand why you are bad news because you are paying for your own car? Are you serious? What does that have to do with you being a good or bad person? From what I hear you are a home wrecker and you left someone in a car wreck to die? Five years ago or not... oh my goodness! How can you sleep at night?!
#14 Nov 17, 2010
you know, its pretty f*ckin pathetic to find out info over the internet about someone. i didn't leave some guy in the road to die. are yall fckin serious??!! i was so messed up from the wreck that i didn't really know what was going on, i was blackin out and i was litterally drug down the road. i didnt take of runnin and leave someone there to die, are you kidding?? im not a cold hearted person. i don't know why the other people ran. you ppl really shouldnt talk about that because you really have not a clue as to what happened. as far as the bar goes, a lot of ppl love me up there.. maybe not the bartenders D of Felisha because they just f*ckin haters and i wouldn't be surprised if Fee was one of these ppl hiding behind a fake name... anyway i work tomorrow at 11-5 so PLEASE come up there and say some of this sh*t to my face, please do it!! yall ppl dont even know ANYTHING about me or my life, so keep assuming sh*t
#15 Nov 17, 2010
so as far as ive heard everyone was drunk and high in the car and thats why yall ran and left cooley to die alone by hisself. thats good friends right there. along with carmen and willie and someone else. 5 yrs ago or not its still just as fucked up today as it was 5 yrs ago. ive heard stories and theyre not good ones so to the samantha who just moved here make sure you make it clear to ppl who you are and clear your name before you get caught up in some drama!! just sayin!!
United States
#16 Nov 17, 2010
like you said, you've heard stories. You weren't there so you have nothing to talk about. I'm not a bad person so stop acting like I'm so f*ckin horrible. And if you really wanna know, matt didn't die in the road. He did on the way to the hospital. I think about that sh*t almost everyday. None of yall should say sht about it because yall wasn't there and you only know what you've heard and everybody talks shit.
And how the hell am I bad news? You don't even know me.
I'm not a home wrecker. He got caught in bed with one of his bartenders and he's f*ckin others too.

You guys are absolutely ridiculous. If any of u knew Sam, u would know she is an awesome person. The past is the past. Stuff happens and u let it go. I think that if people would mind their own business life would be so much easier. Grow up people, and mind ur own business
#18 Nov 22, 2010
Not anymore, they fired her.
#19 Nov 30, 2010
does anyone know why she was fired from foodland?
Nußloch, Germany
#20 Jan 25, 2011
Everyone I have ever known has made bad decisions at one point or another and then wished they would have done things differently afterwards. All of us have and will in the future. Eff all of you for throwing things in her face! Who effing cares who she has slept with... You all should be ashamed of yourselves for judging Samantha when you don't know what it feels like to be her. You are a bunch of haters that deserve to mess up and have people post trash about yourselves.... I had the chance to really know sam and I know she is great.. Your always in my heart Sam..-.. COTTON P*§§Y
#21 Feb 1, 2011
Sam is a sweet girl, and we all have made bad choices and mistakes in life. I'm sure all of you that's on here bad mouthing her has a few skeletons in your closet, so shut the f... up. Leave the girl alone.

Map of Medicine Integrated Care Pathways Join Up e-Referrals Between Providers in Cumbria
Map of Medicine, part of Hearst Health International, today announces the launch of an innovative care pathways and e-referral programme in Cumbria. The announcement was made by Dr Andrew Jones, Medical Director at Hearst Health International at the CCIO Network site visit to Sedbergh Medical Centre in Cumbria.
Dr Jones said: "We're delighted to be helping Cumbria CCG to drive forward their integrated care strategy. Our ability to adapt Map of Medicine's high quality clinical guidance to meet the specific needs of healthcare organisations, such as the NHS in Cumbria, combined with our unique technology, enables us to pioneer the integration of e-referrals between providers through care pathways - making the process, faster, easier and built around local best practice."
NHS Cumbria CCG sought an e-referral solution that would enable paperless referrals across all health and care organisations in the region. A critical component of the deployment was enabling of high-quality, clinically relevant local care pathways through Map of Medicine's Map Referrals solution, and making them available at the point of care.
Map Referrals is part of Cumbria's digital health strategy, which is partly funded by the Safer Hospitals, Safer Wards Technology Fund. Through this strategy, Cumbria aims to transform the way in which referrals are managed across primary care, acute trusts, community and mental health trusts, and to enable commissioners and providers to proactively identify and manage blockages in patient flow. Through a comprehensive development programme with Map of Medicine, a broad range of clinical topics have been developed and adapted from best practice evidence. The visual algorithmic care pathways include guidance on commonly encountered and long-term conditions such as Low back pain and Asthma; as well as localised guidance on 2 week wait referrals, and local referral protocols for procedures of limited clinical value. In total, 75 care pathways and referral templates were developed and reviewed within 5 months.
Map Referrals, a referral management solution which integrates with GP patient management systems, allows access to pre-populated local referral forms, referral criteria and care pathways at the point of care. Map Referrals tackles the issues of referral bounce backs and variation in patient care, and helps CCGs to significantly reduce time spent on administration. Direct referral into provider organisations is enabled by Hearst Health International's partner Strata Health through patient flow software. Healthcare professionals, such as GPs, district nurses, and community hospital staff can now access local care guidance via the patient record in EMIS Web and INPS Vision.
About Map of Medicine
Map of Medicine is a leading provider of evidence-based clinical decision support solutions that help CCGs and other healthcare organisations measurably improve patient outcomes, enhance safety, and lower costs. In the UK, Map of Medicine partners with CCGs to support their goals to continuously improve care, reduce unwarranted variations, and enable more consistency in decision making at the point of care. Map of Medicine integrates with TPP SystmOne, EMIS Web and INPS Vision clinical systems.

text: Workers Uniting condemns EU-Canada trade agreement 25 September 2014 Steelworkers, Unite join to reject anti-democratic, anti-worker proposals Workers Uniting, the global union of the United Steelworkers (USW) in North America and Unite the union in the UK and Ireland, condemns the Canada and European Union (EU) Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) which is to be "initialled" on 26 September 2014. The official text of the agreement has not been made public, but it was leaked in August. It is clear that the fundamental concerns raised by the trade union movement have been ignored by the CETA negotiators: ■ Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS): The Canada-EU agreement will allow multinational corporations to sue governments, in secret tribunals, to challenge regulations that protect health and safety workers' rights and the environment. Canada has been sued more than 20 times under a similar provision in Nafta and has been forced to pay over $150 million to corporations. "ISDS is bad news for Canada," said USW Canadian national director Ken Neumann. "Under Nafta we currently face $6 billion in lawsuits from American multinationals. If CETA is approved, that number will increase exponentially." ■ Public Services: CETA interferes with the right of governments to regulate in the public interest, protect public services, or create new public programs, giving a green light to auctioning off public services including transportation, education and health care. "The Tory government in the UK is hell-bent on privatising our National Health Service," says Unite general secretary Len McCluskey, "if that happens, CETA locks in the privatisation: If a Labour government reverses it, then the private companies can sue the government for damages. We would no longer have democratic control over our economy or our public policies." ■ Immigration: CETA will allow essentially unlimited entry to temporary foreign workers with a university degree or equivalent, with no protections of their rights. "We are already seeing massive exploitation of temporary foreign workers in the financial and mining industries," said Neumann. "This cynical move threatens the future of Canada's young workers." ■ Labour Rights: CETA ignores a fundamental trade union demand that labour rights violations be subject to the same dispute settlement mechanisms as commercial conflicts. Labour rights must be enforced by an independent, timely and transparent complaints process. "CETA sets a terrible precedent for future trade agreements, especially the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between Europe and the US," said USW international president Leo W. Gerard. "In addition to the deficiencies we have cited in the CETA – which will likely be replicated in the TTIP – the attacks on labour rights in the US threaten the living standards of European and Canadian workers," Gerard said. "Rather than weakening these rights and exporting lower American standards through secret trade deals, we need to look at how to expand European mechanisms to protect workers' rights and promote worker involvement in companies."

People with Type 1 diabetes could one day see the faulty cells in their pancreas either restored to health or replaced with new ones thanks to new research that could improve the lives of millions of people around Europe.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, meaning the body's defence mechanisms mistakenly attack its own cells and organs. In this case, the immune system attacks insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, meaning that the body's ability to process sugar, in the form of glucose, is damaged.
The abnormal blood sugar levels seen in people with diabetes can lead to serious complications ranging from blindness and kidney failure to stroke and foot amputations.
Today, people with Type 1 diabetes must inject themselves with insulin on a regular basis to avoid falling into a diabetic coma and to minimise their risk of serious long-term complications. Around 60 million people in Europe live with diabetes and the numbers are rising steadily. Around 10 % of these cases are Type 1 diabetes which, unlike Type 2 diabetes, is not yet preventable. Cases of people with Type 1 are set to rise by 70 % over the next 15 years. In 2008, the EU set up the Innovative Medicines Initiative, a public-private partnership to encourage the development of novel treatments into major diseases, including Type 1 diabetes.
The Issue
Around 60 million people in Europe live with diabetes and the numbers are rising steadily.
Around 10 % of these cases are Type 1 diabetes which, unlike Type 2 diabetes, is not yet preventable. Cases of people with Type 1 are set to rise by 70 % over the next 15 years.
In 2008, the EU set up the Innovative Medicines Initiative, a public-private partnership to encourage the development of novel treatments into major diseases, including Type 1 diabetes.
But researchers have been looking at alternative ways to solve the problem and believe beta cells are the key to preventing Type 1 diabetes from developing or getting any worse.
Professor Colin Dayan at the University of Cardiff wants to teach the immune system not to attack these precious beta cells. He is leading the EU-funded EE-ASI project exploring antigen-specific immunotherapy (ASI) which helps the body to recognise its own beta cells and suppresses any attempts by the body to attack them.
ASI works by introducing the part of the proteins that are targeted by the immune system into the body in a manner that does not cause inflammation. This allows the immune system to learn to tolerate the substance and reset its autoimmune response.
It is hoped that this method could be used as a kind of diabetes vaccine that would save insulin-producing beta cells.
'Some call this a diabetes vaccine because it targets the immune system and protects against disease,' says Prof. Dayan. 'In a sense, it's the opposite – an unvaccine – because instead of using the immune system to destroy an invading virus or bacterium, we want it to tolerate its own beta cells.'
Prof. Dayan believes that such treatment would be a better solution than using immunosuppressive drugs to temper the immune response.
'The side effects of suppressing the immune system would be too much, particularly as people would need to take these medicines for the rest of their lives,' he explained.
Gold nanoparticles
However, the challenge for Prof. Dayan's team is to deliver this vaccine to where it is needed – the lymph nodes, especially those in the pancreas – without inadvertently activating the immune system. To do this, they are using gold nanoparticles – tiny specs of gold which are increasingly used as modern-day drug delivery couriers.
'These are 5 nanometres in size – about as small as you can get – and ideal for our purposes,' said Prof. Dayan. 'Gold nanoparticles are inert. They calm the immune system rather than trigger a reaction and, because of their size, cells like to take them up.'
The gold nanoparticles, which can be injected just under the skin using microneedles, are produced by one of the small companies that works on the EE-ASI project. The group is now preparing for a small clinical trial of the diabetes vaccine which, ultimately, could be given to people at high risk of developing the disease.
Type 1 diabetes begins to damage beta cells from a very early age, possibly even in the first year of life, and the disease is typically diagnosed at 12 years of age. Intervening soon after diagnosis or even before serious damage has been done could stop or slow disease progression.
'Some call this a diabetes vaccine because it targets the immune system and protects against disease.'
Professor Colin Dayan, University of Cardiff, UK
For people who have had Type 1 diabetes for several years, however, it is too late to preserve beta cells. But there is still reason to hope: stem cell therapies could replace the damaged insulin-producing cells, essentially curing diabetes.
The challenge is to understand how stem cells can be turned into functioning beta cells and then to transplant these into patients.
To do this, Professor Henrik Semb at the Danish Stem Cell Center at the University of Copenhagen is working with pluripotent stem cells – a kind of immature cell which, in the right environment, can become any other type of body cell, a process known as differentiation.
The EU-funded HumEn project, led by Professor Semb, has been unpicking the mechanisms that lead pluripotent stem cells to become pancreatic beta cells and how to scale up this process. 'For the up-scaling we are focusing on two stages of pancreatic differentiation known as definitive endoderm and pancreatic endoderm progenitors,' said Prof. Semb.
The pancreatic endoderm progenitors could hold particular promise as these are the cells that determine the final size of the pancreas during embryonic development. The researchers are studying how to manipulate the expansion of these cells in the lab by exposing them to growth-promoting chemicals as well as physical forces such as pulling and stretching.
'We are now able to make insulin-producing cells that work like normal beta cells in that they respond to changes in the glucose levels,' Prof. Semb said. 'The next step is to uncover what the signals are that regulate the expansion of the endodermal progenitors.'
If this can be achieved, the next task will be to figure out how to safely and reliably produce enough cells to develop a cell therapy product that helps patients.
