PSI Webinar Personalised Medicine: Statistics for Companion Diagnostics Date for Webinar: Thursday 4th May. 2-3.30pm UK time
Personalised medicines - which are designed to treat particular groups of patients - are becoming increasingly prominent. In order to identify patients suitable for treatment a companion diagnostic assay is often needed. The Personalized Medicines Coalition (PMC) recently published an article stating that 25% of NME approved by FDA in 2016 included a companion diagnostic.
This webinar will introduce and examine some of the considerations required for statisticians working in the field of companion diagnostics and will include information from an FDA (CDRH) speaker and perspectives/ case-studies from representatives from both a pharmaceutical company and a diagnostic company.

Applications of personalized medicine are becoming increasingly prominent. A companion diagnostic assay (CDx) is often desired for patient enrollment in device-drug pivotal clinical trial(s) so that FDA can ensure that appropriate clinical and analytical validation studies are planned and carried out for CDx. However, such a requirement may be difficult or impractical to accomplish. A clinical trial assay (CTA) instead of CDx may be used for patient enrollment in drug-device pivotal clinical trial(s). A supplemental agreement study of CDx and CTA will be required to bridge the clinical results from CTA to CDx. In this webinar, we will discuss statistical challenges in study design and data analysis for bridging study. Particularly, we aimed to provide statistical methods on how to estimate the drug efficacy in CDx intended use population using results from bridging study and CTA-drug pivotal clinical trial.

The confidentiality of interim results of on-going trials is a topic on the agenda of the EMA Biostatistics Working Party (BSWP). ICH E9 states that all staff at the investigational sites and at sponsor (except those directly involved with the execution of an interim analysis) should remain blinded to any interim analysis results. The BSWP recognised that this advice may need to be re-evaluated, especially for some complex situations (eg the use of interim analyses in Cardiovascular Outcomes Trials to rule out harm or for gene therapy where the full results may not be available for 15 years).
The BSWP therefore asked the PSI/EFSPI Regulatory Committee to set up a PSI/EFSPI expert working group on this topic and to provide thoughts and recommendations. The expert working group has been formed under the leadership of Jürgen Hummel (PPD), Erika Daly (ICON) and Robin Mukherjee (Astra Zeneca), and are planning to meet face to face on 11 May with the aim to get back to the BSWP by September 2017.
PSI Webinar Patient Engagement in Clinical Trials Date for Webinar: Tuesday 13th June 2:30-3:30pm UK time
Patients have long been an important part of clinical drug development – without them, there would be no new medicines. Recently, there has been a fundamental shift in their involvement in the drug development process. Today, patients are highly active in engaging in discussions about their disease, what they look for in new treatments, and how clinical trials are designed and conducted.
Following on from the successful and thought-provoking presentation at last year's PSI conference by Paul Wicks from PatientsLikeMe, this webinar will continue to explore the ways in which patients are influencing the design of new clinical trials. We have two speakers who bring different experience and perspectives on this subject:
Dr Cathy Emmas, Partnership Director, Patient Centricity, AstraZeneca Title: Patient-centric medicines development – the value of online health communities Abstract: How AstraZeneca's collaboration with the PatientsLikeMe is accelerating our ability to generate the timely and relevant patient insight that enables informed decision making within our R&D programs. What patient-generated health data tells us about symptoms and outcomes that matter to patients. Optimisation of clinical trials from the patient perspective.
Biography: Cathy is the Partnership Director in AstraZeneca's global Patient Centricity team where she leads a 5 year strategic collaboration with the PatientsLikeMe online health network. This alliance was established to accelerate our ability to generate the right patient insight that enables informed decision making within our R&D programs and shape healthcare delivery. In the first two years the collaboration has linked the experiences of over 70,000 patients into our lifecycle teams and patient preferences have helped shape 12 clinical studies across 7 diseases.
Professor Sue Pavitt, Dental Translational and Clinical Research Unit, University of Leeds Title: Achieving Effective Patient Public Involvement in Clinical Trials: "No research about us without us"
Abstract: Patient public involvement in medicine research and development has gained significant momentum. Adopting a patient-centric approach in clinical trials and research is important to ensure new treatments embrace what is important to patients. Achieving effective Patient Public Involvement & Engagement (PPIE ) partnerships enhances the relevance of clinical research and improved likelihood of delivering patient benefits. PPI also contributes to the operational efficiency and success in clinical trial design, ethical approval, conduct and dissemination reach; collectively building cross sector communication and partnerships may enhance market head room long term. I will provide a background to patient public involvement and establishing effective partnerships and illustrative case examples that support patient awareness of their treatment options and healthcare choices. I will introduce EUPATI and its role in meeting the educational needs to deliver patient centric medicine R&D and facilitate partnerships between patients-academia and industry in clinical research. We are in an era of a paradigm shift in patient-centric clinical trials, by strategically bringing the patient lived experience to the forefront has the potential to change fundamentally how health care is practiced.
Biography: Sue Pavitt - Prof in Translational & Applied Health Research, University of Leeds. Her PhD was in Human Cancer Genetics and she had a high profile career working with Prof Sir Walter Bodmer mapping the first colorectal cancer gene. She worked on the Human Genome Project at UCL, Oxford and UCSF, USA. In 1998 she was appointed as the Founding Director of TayRen – the premier Scottish multidisciplinary Primary Care Research network and the academic focus of her career changed to applied health research. She became the Divisional Director at the Clinical Trials Research Unit, Leeds and has since gone on to Head the Division for Applied Health and Clinical Translation and is Director of the Dental Translation and Clinical Research Unit. She is a Specialty lead for the Oral & Dental Health National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network. She is Chair of Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trials Network. She is a Board Member of the MRC-NIHR Efficacy & Mechanistic Evaluation and in this capacity evaluated clinical trial design. Her research portfolio spans several disease areas and is characterized by forging effective, multi-disciplinary research partnerships between clinicians, academics, sometimes industry and always patients; developing methodological sound projects that are patient-centric with research questions tailored to clinical priorities to maximize impact and patient benefit.
Sue is passionate about patient involvement in research with >30 years' experience. She is the Academic Lead for EUPATI-UK – European Patient Advocacy for Therapeutic Innovation- a pan-European Innovative Medicines Initiative, led by the European Patients' Forum, in partnership with patient organizations, universities, not-for-profit organizations and pharmaceutical companies. EUPATI's goal is to increase capacities and capabilities of well-informed patients to be effective advocates/advisors in medicines research.

Immunotherapy treatments use parts of a person's immune system to fight disease. In the recent past, immunotherapy has become an important part of treating some types of cancer e.g. melanoma, NSCLC. Studies of these treatments have resulted in a number of observations that have implications for the statistician e.g. delayed treatment effects, long term survivors etc. This joint Basel Biometric Society / PSI one day meeting will present an overview of the science and potential statistical challenges across a range of topics covering early and late phases of development, regulatory and health technology assessments. The speakers from Academia, Regulatory Bodies and Pharma will share their thoughts, ideas and experiences, including case studies. There will be plenty of time for questions and interactions with colleagues.
The meeting will take place on June 15th 2017 in Basel at the Roche IT Centre. Further details on the agenda will follow but for now…please save the date!

Unlicensed Ringtones Stole My Puppy
By Carlo Longino, Wed Nov 19 21:00:00 GMT 2003
pointed us to an, ahem, interesting
blaming unlicensed ringtones for a number of mobile-industry ills, among them "holding back" MMS growth.
The MD of British mobile-content firm Fonedream thinks these renegade tones are a huge problem -- a calls for backwards, RIAA-style thinking as a solution. He says that artists and music publishers (because of unlicensed tones) are choosing to forgo digital content completely, "cutting off a huge potential revenue stream" and serving to "undermine brand value".
Fonedream, of course, is looking to drum up some business.
Here we are, thinking that MP3 downloading was what keeps the music business up all night, but this guy blames those pesky tones again, trying to link them with a 10% decline in global music sales this year. But the answer, he says, is in having licensed content and creating "consumer confidence" and "product understanding." Typical.
He seems to think, like the RIAA, that given a choice between free and unlicensed or paid and licensed media, people will choose the licensed media just because it is licensed. But that line didn't work for Lars Ulrich a few years ago, and it still doesn't fly now.
People will continue to take advantage of unlicensed content as long as there's a reason for them to do so -- the main one being, of course, that it's free. But instead of just trying to discourage people from using rogue content, why can't they be encouraged to use "legal", licensed content?
Give people a reason to spend their money on something they can get for free, and likely they'll do it. Apple's iTunes Music Store has sold millions of digital songs, even as P2P networks continue to thrive. Why? Not because people suddenly decided using Kazaa was morally reprehensible, but because in exchange for that 99 cents per song, they make it easy to find and acquire what you're looking for, and don't make onerous DRM restrictions on the content while keeping them tight enough to satisfy record labels.
It's not surprising that the "black market" for ringtones is so huge. The tones often cost as much or more than buying the actual song, either online or in a record shop, and many people don't usually keep them for very long. It can be a pain to find free ringtones, but usually after wading through pop-ups and porn ads, they can be found, though it may take a few tries to download one that sounds good on your particular phone. But it's just like online music -- give people something where they can quickly and easily find what they want, deliver a high level of quality, and price it reasonably, it will be a success.
But this requires a new mindset -- one that requires looking at users as potential customers instead of theives, trying to find ways to win their business, and in turn, stop their "theft".
I'm still trying to figure out what any of this has to do with MMS adoption.

Botanical Garden: The botanical garden at the Oklahoma City Zoo will delight and inspire you with opportunities to experience our extensive botanical collection that also serves as an immersive environment for our unique animal habitats. The botanical garden encompasses over 130 acres where exotic animals roam over the landscapes under a canopy of flowering trees, forested groves, and wildflower meadows. Come visit the largest collection of Oklahoma native plants nestled securely within the historic cross timbers ecosystem. This remarkable ecosystem, where the eastern deciduous forest meets the tall grass prairie, is the cornerstone of the botanical garden and sets the tone for a purely unmatched botanical experience. Our Oklahoma native plant collection contains over 100 species some of which are listed as rare or imperiled. The botanical garden also hosts the largest outdoor butterfly garden in Oklahoma covering over 21,000 square feet and showcasing pollinator plants, nectar pants, and host plants which serve to educate guests on the importance of pollinators and monarch migration. Plants displayed in our collection include species from North America, Australia, Asia, Africa, and South America. The Zoo achieved recognition through the American Alliance of Museums in 1998 as a living museum and botanical garden. The botanical garden maintains membership with the Association of Zoological Horticulture, the American Public Gardens Association, and the Oklahoma Nursery and Landscape Association. Group and private tours of the botanical gardens are available for all ages. For more information on garden tours or questions about the botanical garden please click here.
Zoo is home to many designated horticultural displays and plant collections. Identification plaques and signs serve to distinguish
significant plants throughout the botanical garden. Several tropical garden exhibits and
collections are only available for display during the temperate season
(March-October) depending on weather conditions. The following garden exhibits are available
for year round viewing.
Located just southwest of the Noble Aquatic Center: Aquaticus and
bordered by Zoo Lake on the east, the Butterfly Garden is a 20,000 square-foot
exhibit designed especially for some of nature's most delicate
creatures—butterflies! As the largest,
walk-through outdoor Butterfly Garden in Oklahoma, the garden is a color and
texture extravaganza of more than 15,000 plants fashioned to sustain the
complete life cycle of the butterfly. Full color, educational graphics are placed
throughout the exhibit highlighting the intricacies of butterflies and their
importance in the surrounding ecosystems. Because butterflies are attracted to nectar producing
flowers; penta, lantana, verbena and coneflower are the primary flowers. However, to entice the butterflies to remain
in the area, nearly a quarter of the plants are host plants on which their
caterpillar or larva will feed. Other
plants include several types of shrubs and trees to give the butterflies wind
breaks and a safe roosting place in the winter.
The water conservation garden is located on the southwest side of the pachyderm building. This garden displays drought tolerant plants and displays the principles of water conservation gardening. This garden exhibit is a coordinated effort between the Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust, The Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden, and the Oklahoma State University Extension. The garden serves a strong conservation message regarding our most precious natural resource--water! Check out the water conservation garden, and soak up some information on how you can help save water in your residential landscape.
The Oklahoma Trails exhibit contains more than 70 different plant species, totaling approximately 4,000 trees, shrubs, grasses and perennials. The exhibit showcases Oklahoma native plants alongside native animal species. Travel through the 11 ecological regions of Oklahoma starting in the Black Mesa of the northwest and winding down to the Cypress Swamps of the southeast. Educational signs point out Oklahoma native plants along the way. Our zoological horticulturists planted more than 100 trees in the Oklahoma Trails exhibit for the 2007 Tree Banks Foundations' Centennial Tree Grove program, celebrating 100 years of Oklahoma statehood.
The botanical garden provides an opportunity for our staff of zoological horticulturists to work alongside the animal keepers to provide animal browse and enrichment from our extensive garden system. Deciduous trees such as Elm, Mulberry, Hackberry, and Willow accentuate animal diets. These trees as well as bamboo, shrubs, and grasses make up a large portion of the browse supply grown on grounds throughout the temperate season. Our greenhouses provide a place for us to grow animal browse through the winter months. These include a variety of tropical including banana, ginger, cactus, citrus, sprouts, herbs, and sugar cane.
The botanical garden has 12 living collections consisting of native, tropical, deciduous, and evergreen flora. To date the botanical garden tracks over 5,000 plant accessions!
This collection is located at the east end of the main parking lot in front of the Rosser Education Building. It showcases unusual types of dwarf coniferous plants.
This collection represents both common and unusual pines. It is located next to the Dan Moran Aviary near the front entrance of the Zoo. Four species of pines are native to Oklahoma. They are Ponderosa Pine, Loblolly Pine, Pinyon Pine, and Shortleaf Pine.
This majestic collection of mature and thriving oak trees is located in many areas around the Zoo, but the bulk of this collection can be seen through the Oklahoma Trails Exhibit.
The magnolia collection is located throughout the Great EscApe exhibit, and displays many unusual cultivated species. This collection is temporarily under construction, but you can still view many of the trees throughout the area.
The cactus collection consists of many tropical and hardy cactus species. This collection is available for viewing in several areas around the Zoo with the main body of the collection displayed in Cat Forest near our Jaguar exhibit. This collection is available for viewing from May-October.
The agave collection consists of many tropical and hardy agave species. This collection is available for viewing in several areas around the Zoo with the main body of the collection displayed in the water conservation garden southeast of the pachyderm building. This collection is available for viewing from May-October.
Our newest collection showcases palm trees that can withstand our freezing temperatures. This collection can be viewed all over the Zoo with the main body of the collection viewable in the main entry global plaza. Other specimens of merit are throughout the Cat Forest and Great EscAPE exhibit areas.
The orchid collection is currently housed in our production greenhouses.
The tropical plant collection is located outside the Canopy Food Court and exhibits many unusual tropical plants from around the world. This collection is available for viewing from April-October.
Our bamboo collection is one of the largest displayed collections of hardy bamboo in Oklahoma. It is located in the Cat Forest and Great EscApe exhibit areas.
This garden collection contains over 30,000 specimens of flowering bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, crocus, narcissus, iris and ornamental alliums with peak bloom time occurring throughout spring. The flowering bulb collection can be seen throughout the zoo grounds and includes a large display of naturalized and fragrant spring and summer flowering bulbs as well as many antique varieties.

Was rear-ended by a school bus. Very little damage to the MDX. The Bus however was banged up in the front completely. Cars like this are a rare build these days. Gave styling a 4 star. Only knock I could give given I own a 2006 and the styling didnt change from 2001. **BOTTOM LINE- If you can find a deal on one of these Babies....BUY IT!"

"A little over priced due to Acura name but no need to worry because resale value is awesome. Exterior styling is beautiful and so is the interior. Engine has more than enough power to pass on the highway and tow what you want. Handling is a little on the firm side and a little unnerving when swerving at highway speed but overall a nice smooth mostly quiet ride with some road noise. Third row seat comes in handy when needed and easily stored. With both rear rows down I moved washers and dryers, and everything in between. Roof rack is useful for over-sized cargo. Nav system is one of the best I've used. Buttons are laid out nicely. Voice recognition is useless as its quicker just to press the buttons. Seats are a tiny bit on the cramped side for bigger drivers but nothing to complain about. All in all I love my MDX and can't wait to update to newer version."

"Up until Nov of '09 I said even though I owned this car for 7 years it was SO reliable I had no reason to replace it but then, to my utter surprise the transmission starting slipping and within a week was broken. Since I only had 86,000 miles on it Acura paid half the cost of the new transmission: my share $2800. I admit they charge a very high price for a new one but my paying half of their high price was less than a local mechanic would charge and they warrenty it for 3 years and gave me a brand new TL to drive while it was in the shop. I would have given it all five stars before this happened."

About the Author
When she was five, her mother handed her a paintbrush and said, "draw your heart out." Rupi Kaur views her life as an exploration of that artistic journey. Through her poetry and illustrations, she engages with love, loss, trauma, healing, and femininity. For Rupi, writing has always been a collective experience. At the age of seventeen she began sharing her work. The stage was her first love and spoken word is where she found her voice. Rupi pursued her love for language by studying rhetoric at the University of Waterloo. She began working on her first collection milk and honey, which eventually became a New York Times bestseller. Rupi's passion is expression. For her that expression takes many forms. Her photography and art direction are brought to various spaces around the world and her poetry and prose are breaking international boundaries.

I read many reviews before deciding to purchase this book by Many people said that it was cliché and it had already been done. Also a lot of other people said that the poems were too simplistic with not a lot of theme behind them.
However I have never come across a book like this. I loved how it was split into four sections. Those four sections are titled The hurting, the loving, the breaking, the healing. And many ways I do see how people say that this is simplistic. But these themes basically come down to the human experience. Who has not hurt? Especially from childhood experiences that we may or may not realize molded who we are. Who has not loved? Who has not been hurt by that loving? And if you can get to it there is a healing process.
I personally can relate to this book on so many different levels. I can relate to it based on family experiences, friendship's, intimate partners, and work associates.
In a way and made me feel like rupi kaur was able to not bury these feelings like I have done for so long but actually put them into words and illustrations. I think that takes courage and probably a great amount of sacrifice. I only wish I could do something as simplistic as this that has so much meaning.
Yes, it is a book of poems split into four sections. But those poems interweave and tell a story. What I really like about it is that you can kind of assume it's a memoir but you don't really know the true facts. It's almost like you have to fill it in for yourself. This is what I loved most about it because I could do that with my own experiences.
It is not an expensive book and I was able to read it within one hour, and go back to it multiple times especially the section on the healing. It may be simple and not as sophisticated as intellectuals would like poetry to be however it made in effect on me and I do think it is worth reading.
Can you give up one hour of your life to read this book with an open mind and realize how emotions and experiences truly shape who we are?
I encourage you to read this book with an open mind and even purchase it for friends that you know are either struggling loving hurting or healing. And isn't that everyone? Can't you see how everyone is experiencing one of these things right now?
It hit me so deeply that it is actually helping me on my own healing knowing that I am not alone. And that is ONE of the greatest human sufferings-loneliness. whenever I feel lonely I picked up this book and read it to remind myself that there are others out there suffering much more than I am and it gives me a great sense of gratitude.

Sometimes, when she was just waking up in the morning, Leandra Hawke thought she was Young Mistress Amell again, the apple of her father's eye and young enough to feel like a child again. Her room looked the same: the same crimson furnishings, the same bed, and even most of the same furniture. Then, she would look in the mirror and remember: Malcolm with his charming smile and laughter that hid great kindness and great sadness, leaving Kirkwall with him, the birth of Garrett, and then the birth of the twins, and their life together evading the Templars in Ferelden. She had never thought she would return home again, but the Maker had other plans for them.
She wished that, somehow, Malcolm, Carver, and Bethany were living here with her and Garret, but that wasn't to be. Malcolm and Carver were dead and Bethany imprisoned in the Gallows and she blamed herself. If they had not come here, Bethany wouldn't be in such a place. Even if they stayed in Ferelden and Bethany was caught, it would still have been better. Malcolm always said the Circle was a prison, but the Gallows was the one Circle that made no pretensions otherwise.
Shaking her head from such dark thoughts, she opened her wardrobe and dressed herself. It had been a long time since she had servants do it for her and now, after all these years, she much preferred it this way. As she finished, she heard the door open.
"Mistress, I brought you your morning tea," a subservient voice announced and Leandra turned to see a fearful-looking elf setting a tray of tea at a small table near the fireplace. She smiled kindly at the elf.
"Thank you Orana. That was very thoughtful of you," she said.
"You are too kind Mistress," she said with a blush, but Leandra could tell she was pleased.
She did not know much about the circumstances behind the elf taking up residence in their estate, nor did she think she really wanted to, but Garrett told her enough. She had been a slave of a Tevinter Mage from one of his friend's pasts and, after she had been slain, Garrett offered her a job. It was difficult helping the elf to understand she was free and could do whatever she wanted with her life, but it succeeded to some extent. Orana didn't fear being beaten or used as a sacrifice in blood magic, but she couldn't leave. Nor did she want to. Brother Sebastian, Bodahn, Sandal, and a couple of Hawke's elf friends helped, of course, but she had the feeling that Orana was a little frightened of the Tevinter elf, Fenris she believed his name was. Still, they along with her son's kind manner did her good, at least in Leandra's opinion.
"I think I will awaken my son," she said after pouring herself a cup of tea and drinking half of it, "It is almost 10 in the morning already."
"There is no need, Mistress. I will do it," Orana assured her.
"No, my son needs a firm hand to get him out of bed in the morning or he will lie in bed all day," Leandra replied, "Knowing him, he'll tell you he's getting up and sleep until dusks. You should go see if Bodahn needs help with anything."
"Right away, Mistress," she told her as she headed downstairs towards the main hall.
When she was gone, Leandra sighed slightly as she headed out her door and towards her son's room. She liked Orana and pitied her, but she was still a little uncomfortable being the master in a master-servant relationship. What she really wanted was for her son to find a woman he was serious in courting. It would be good to have an equal in her home that wasn't her son. Briskly, she opened the door to her son's bedroom and tugged at the drapes of his window to allow sunlight to shine into the dark bedroom.
"Garrett, it is almost time to start the day," she began only to fall silent when she saw that her son was not the only occupant in his bed. Laying her head on his chest was an elf, a naked elf, with tattoos winding all over her body. Leandra felt her face heat up. Too late, she remembered something Malcolm once told her. "There are some things about your children you should never have to see."
"Oh!" the elf exclaimed, holding the cover up to hide her nakedness with a flush on her heart-shaped face.
"Err, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for this," Garrett began before Leandra cut him off.
"Just tell me straight: is this a fling or something serious?" she asked him with a straight face. Her son grinned sheepishly.
"Well, you always said this place seemed empty…"
"Well, that's something at least… But if this is a new scheme to upset the neighbors again…"
"Nah, that's just a bonus," Garret told her with a charming grin on his face. Merrill looked over at Hawke with a curious expression on her face.
"What does she mean by again?"
"You don't want to know," Leandra told her with a sigh before smiling slightly at the girl. It was a credit to her upbringing that she managed to maintain her composure as she said, "Perhaps you can join me for a cup of tea. I don't think we have talked much."
"Oh, that sounds nice! I just… Well, need to get dressed," Merrill stated awkwardly, blushing slightly. She wondered if all human women had tea with elves they found naked in their son's beds. She had a good feeling they didn't. It was yet another surprising thing about Hawke, but it was nice as all his surprises usually were, except if you were trying to kill him, of course.
As she thought this, Hawke glanced at his mother questioningly, but Leandra just smiled at him, "Meet us downstairs, darling. Go get something to eat I think Sandal is cooking breakfast this morning."
"So that's why you're having teatime instead. I swear the dwarf puts lyrium in everything he makes," Hawke commented, but Leandra was already out the door, leaving the two to get dressed. As Merrill pulled on her clothes from yesterday, she smiled weakly at Hawke.
"Well… Your mother's nice."
"That she is," he told her. He put on his robe and, glancing at the mirror, smiled ruefully, "The burn's barely noticeable."
"Oh. Sorry. I just… Got a little excited," Merrill flushed in embarrassment. Hawke laughed.
"Don't worry about it. I think I heard Isabela talking to Anders about mages using their powers in bed," he told her with a shrug.
"Well, sometimes I use a spell to help me goto sleep… Oh!" she flushed. Merrill hated being slow when it came to dirty things. She had hoped that sleeping with Hawke would help, but that didn't seem to be a case. Maybe if she did it more… She blushed more.
"Should I know anything about your Mother?" she asked. She was a little nervous about having tea with her. Isabela had told them some stories about her lovers' relations and it didn't sound pleasant.
"Don't worry. I think she likes you. Besides, there's a big difference between her finding someone like you in my room and someone like Isabela." Hawke told her. That made her feel a little better. Perhaps there were some benefits to living a boring life in comparison to her friend.
She smiled and gave him a quick kiss in thanks as she exited his room and she was pleased with the surprised look on his face afterwards when she left the room, though it was a little ruined when she poked her head back in and asked him where his mother's room was.
When Merrill at last entered her room, Leandra smiled warmly at her. To be honest, she looked about ready to bolt, almost like a deer, but managed to sit still in front of her nonetheless.
"Would you like sugar or honey with your tea?" she asked.
"Oh, honey," she stated immediately and Leandra poured a second cup of tea for her and mixed in a teaspoon of honey. Awkwardly, Merrill took it.
"Garrett speaks highly of you," Leandra said, trying to break the ice. Merill blinked.
"Really? What does he say?" she asked curiously. Then, realizing she might be rude, added, "Milady."
"None of that. You're a guest! And we're a little past formalities considering," Leandra told her and Merrill flushed nervously. Leandra continued despite this, saying, "He says that you're sweet and that it's amazing how Isabela hasn't corrupted you yet."
"Isabela isn't that bad. She's… worldly," Merrill told her. Leandra smiled.
"That she is. When she and Varric visit Garrett, it's like there is three of my husband," Leandra told her and Merrill cocked an eyebrow.
"Was Hawke's father a lot like him? Garrett, I mean," she said, cursing herself for falling back to calling him Hawke.
"Oh, yes. He had a way of saying just the last thing you'd expect and keep laughing, even at the most inappropriate times," Leandra told her and Merrill giggled. Hawke was like that.
"How do you like Kirkwall? It must be different from what you're used to," Leandra commented and Merrill shrugged awkwardly.
"It has its good parts. I don't know what I'd do without Hawke, Garrett, I mean. Isabela and Varric are wonderful too as well as the others, even if Fenris and Anders can get a little cranky. I can tell that Aveline likes Hawke and the others. She keeps coming back even if we sometimes make things harder for her. And Sebastian, well, he is shiny," Merrill commented.
"He is a fine young man. Other than Garrett, he is the most talked-about-young man among all the ladies. Even some old enough to be his mother."
Merrill frowned slightly. She bit her lip, "Are there many women who like Hawke?"
"Oh, yes. He never seemed too interested in them, though," Leandra assured her, "He is a change-of-pace to some of the stuffier nobles in Hightown. He's like his father that way. I wasn't the only one that had eyes on him."
Merrill looked interested and listened as she described some of the escapades Malcolm Hawke drew her into. She was right. Leandra, for her part, was glad to have an audience that wasn't uncomfortable about her and her husband's romantic life. Soon enough, though, the subject switched back to Garrett.
"It seems he can talk his way through anything. It's almost like magic," Merrill told her.
"Not everything. And, of course, Garrett wasn't always the charmer. I remember when he first liked a girl. He was five summers old and the girl next door was sixteen and looked after him…." Leandra began.
When Hawke had finished his breakfast and made his way upstairs, he found her and Merrill, to his horror, giggling.
"Alright. I hear giggling. That is never a good sign," Hawke stated and Merrill smiled at him.
"You were so cute as a Da'len, Ma Vhenan."
"Maker, I knew this was a bad idea!"
A/N. I hope you enjoyed this latest chapter. I'm sorry for not having it up sooner. I was busy with finals and Christmas. Suggestions on who to do next is welcome.

Interest Groups and the Bureaucracy
IB TOK 1/Gov Ms. Halle Bauer
What are interest groups?
Interest Group: An organization of people with a common goal or interest that lobbies to influence policy decisions Institutional Interests: Organizations that represent other organizations and institutions General Motors, Chamber of Commerce Membership Interests: Organizations of individual members with common political goals NAACP, NRA When entire public benefits (not just members): public- interest lobby For instance, Common Cause lobbied to give the vote to 18-year- olds
Why interest groups? There is a diversity of interests and opinions in America American government is set up to give groups the opportunity to influence policy Interest groups are protected as a form of political speech Our laws permit private organizations and nonprofit organizations to have tax-exempt status OR lobby for their interests National Organization for Women Our political parties leave something to be desired…
What do interest groups do?
Provide Credible Information How? Supply updated information on policy issues to lawmakers Give political cues to officials by describing how policy changes will affect the public and how the issue fits in with the political party platform and agenda Make ratings to influence public opinion of lawmakers Public opinion polls Encouraging constituents to write to their Congressmen Writing editorials supporting the interest group's position Attempting to sway public opinion with grassroots lobbying on ballot initiatives So what is "credible" information?
What do interest groups do?
Persuade Legislators How? Try to influence policy on particular issues by encouraging lawmakers to vote one way or the other on the issue at hand What kind of knowledge is most persuasive? PACs: Political Action Committees aligned with interest groups can spend money to influence legislatures Super PACs have fewer restrictions on donations, given that the PAC is an "independent-only" organization Protests: Sit-ins, marches, picketing
How are interest groups funded?
Grants Solicitation Foundation grants Federal grants and contracts Federal grants support projects that the group sponsors, not the lobbying itself Mailings to supporters Appeal to emotions
Who do interest groups represent?
Over 50% interest groups represent corporate interests 1/3 of interest groups are professional organizations 4% of interest groups are public-interest groups 2% of interest groups represent civil or minority rights
Some examples… The U.S. Chamber of Commerce General Electric
Insttitional Interests Member Interests The U.S. Chamber of Commerce General Electric University of California Koch Industries Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America American Medical Association Susan B. Anthony List American Association of Retired People National Rifle Association The College Board National Education Association
A large, complex organization of appointed officials
The Bureaucracy A large, complex organization of appointed officials
What is the bureaucracy?
A large, complex organization of appointed officials who oversee and enforce the laws Congress and the President both have authority over the American bureaucracy Federal agencies work with state and local agencies to ensure laws are carried out properly Government by proxy: Lawmakers use the bureaucracy to staff and administer federal programs and do the work of the laws
What does today's bureaucracy look like?
History Recruitment The Great Depression paved the way for greater government involvement in economic and social problems WWII required more bureaucracy to oversee the war effort 9/11 created a new department (Homeland Security) Merit: Competitive Service Exam Civil servants who align with President's views Cabinet, judges, ambassadors Confidential positions (aides) Noncareer executive assignments (policy)
What does today's bureaucracy look like?
Demographics (2004) Constraints 56% Male 44% Female 69% White 31% Racial Minorities Agencies have discretionary authority, but… Laws restrict ability to hire, fire, build, sell Congress typically assigns several agencies to one job As a result… Government is slow to act Agencies are inconsistent "Red tape"
Then: The Iron Triangle
Now: An Issue Network
How does Congress oversee the bureaucracy?
Congress approves every agency All money spent by agencies is first approved by Congress (power of the purse) Authorization legislation sets spending limits on programs Approved funds must be appropriated for a specific purpose House Appropriations Committee approves each agency's budget Except when trust funds are used for public benefits (SS)
How does Congress oversee the bureaucracy?
Legislative veto: Congress would block agency actions by voting them down before they took effect These resolutions did not require the President's signature Ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL in 1983 Congressional investigations: Congress can investigate an agency's decisions and outcomes

What are some examples of repression in Julius Caesar?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The play actually opens in Act I scene 1 with an example of repression, as Flavius and Murellus attempt to stop the commoners from celebrating Caesar's triumph and send them back to work. They also disrobe the statues that are clothed in a tribute to Caesar. The commoners are presented as just celebrating for no reason, without understanding the significance of Caesar's victory, which Flavius and Murellus are well aware of. Note what Murellus says to the commoners to repress their desire to praise Caesar and enjoy a holiday:
Be gone!Run to your houses, fall upon your knees,Pray to the gods to intermit the plagueThat needs must light on this ingratitude.

Who are we?
mise en ligne :05 01 2006 ( NEA say n° 01 )
Eulogos Athena
EU-Logos Athéna was created by citizens who have their sights firmly set on Europe and who also have a long-standing professional interest in the progress of European construction.
Our aim is to participate, through our professional activities and as active citizens, in the emergence of a European public area, in step with progress in European construction and in the spirit of the constitutional treaty, in particular its preamble, its values and objectives, for example participative democracy, fundamental rights and helping to create a European identity.
EU-Logos Athéna has been designed to act as a communication medium, both a professional tool and an arena for expressing and exchanging information and opinions. We are reaching out to European citizens, to NGOs that share our objectives, as well as to all those who are striving to achieve these goals within national and European institutions.
We have pinpointed three fields that are essential for the creation of a European public area:
- the constitutional evolution of the European Union (future prospects)
- the creation of an area of freedom, security and justice with respect for fundamental rights
- Europe in the world and, more particularly, the construction, together with our neighbours, of an area of solidarity, stability and development.
An information tool
Our aim is to promote exchanges of information, documents and ideas at both a national and a European level, to improve our understanding of European issues and allow us to adopt a position on the strategies and legislation currently being drawn up and to become active citizens, in particular in the consultations that the European Commission regularly carries out before making its proposals.
EU-LOGOS Athéna processes this information in different ways: a thematic Internet portal, information monitoring, searches, publications, targeted studies and reports, operational support for the design and realisation of projects aimed at making the European public area a reality.
EU-Logos Athéna places particular emphasis on the future prospects for the European Union and the creation of an area of freedom, security and justice. The scope of these themes can be extended and a general or more in-depth approach adopted according to the centres of interest expressed by the members/adherents and the public.
A forum for expression and exchanges
The Internet allows us to establish contacts, enter into discussions and debates and exchange analyses and comments at a European level.
EU-Logos Athéna intends to use this network to contribute towards the emergence of a European public area. It does so by hosting blogs and discussion forums relating to working topics, in line with the latest developments in the issues at hand and with the centres of interest of the members/adherents.
For EU-Logos Athéna, the blogs and forums represent an arena for expression, for critical analysis and a means of nurturing the relationships that are essential for promoting active citizenship and its collective dimension.
A meeting place
In view of the fact that remote communication via the Internet is essential but will never replace personal contacts for building lasting relationships and for the emergence of concrete projects at a European level, EU-Logos Athéna plans to organise colloquia, conferences, debates and meetings relating to our working topics and building on or summarising the exchanges in the forums. After all, actions speak louder than words.
NEA say
A new newsletter appears in the scene, the first concrete example of the objectives of Eulogos-Athéna.
Every week, NEA say... gathers the latest news from the area of freedom, security and justice. Events will be explained and put into perspective: links with the many existing sources of information will be set up. Work is underway on an observatory to monitor the progress of actions undertaken at a European, national and international level by major international organisations (UNO, Council of Europe, etc.) and by the main non-governmental organisations. Information distributed by the leading media will also be rounded up in NEA say....
An in brief section will offer a quick overview of the latest news. Where applicable, a Headline news item will draw the readers attention to particularly important events.
Plans are already being made for the future, with editorials and opinion columns to be added to NEA say... over time.
Dear readers, help us by sharing with us any comments, suggestions and criticisms you may have!
Thank you very much

Mariel Hemingway huh? Oh, that would be one heck of a mail-order bride catalog.ReplyDelete
That fold out strap thingy might be to allow you to strap this bag to another piece of luggage or cart if your had a bunch of bags say at an airport. That's a very nice looking, nicely put together looking bag. I'm kind of partial to the interior color....
Oh durn.. I couldn't say that with a straight face...
Love the bag....If I got one it would have to be pink! I love pink. Glad you like it. It looks very handy to hold all your goodies. :)ReplyDelete
Iggy--Mariel is a lot older, but she is still a striking woman--even if they were trying to plain her down in this movie. :) Thought you might like the orange. Not my first choice, but couldn't beat the price and I don't mind the bit of flash. ;)ReplyDelete
Leah--I'll leave it on and you can take a look at it.
Toriz--Maybe Iggy is right. I certainly haven't a clue. ;)
Barb--I'd probably have blue or red or green or purple--but I have safety cone orange--hehe! I'd only use it wen I'm bringing the laptop with me to Dagan and Leah's--or if I ever manage to make it back to Minneapolis to visit family. :)
AliceKay--I love the thick padded spot for the laptop. I was really nervous just hauling my laptop in a floppy bag. And--much to my surprise--I bring my laptop over when I visit Dagan and Leah. Never thought I'd see the day--ROFL! :)
Serena--yes-I love that there are handy pouches for the camera and cell phone, especially. I wonder that, too. I'm sure they write the descriptions up in a way they think will get people to rent or buy them. Accuracy isn't the highest priority, I guess--hehe! :)
Lynn--aha! Another True Blood watcher! :) Looks like a good, but rainy weekend ahead. Glad you like Karma. I have joked to people that it should be Karma and Rita's blog--ROFL! ;)
Just a note: I don't pass on awards or do tags, and I no longer comment on blogs that have word verification (see top right hand corner of my blog). So if you haven't heard from me that's probably why. Sorry.
I read and appreciate each and every comment, but it became too overwhelming to personally respond to each one like I used to here in the blog comment section. I will answer questions and communicate via email, though, if you have an email address listed on blogger and I do try to respond to every comment.
Have a really great day! Karma says hi! :) :)

So, How Did I Do This Week?
>> Friday, March 19, 2010
Not so good!!!!
This week has been one thing after another. First, Monday was very busy away from the house. Piano lessons, TaeKwon Do Lessons, and time with friends tend to make for a full afternoon. So...Not much was accomplished that day! :(
Tuesday, son #2 decides to pretend he doesn't feel well so he can get out of doing his schoolwork. Actually, it all started Monday evening. I'm not such a terrible mom; I let him stop the work he was doing and go lie down. He had no fever, but I understand that you don't have to have fever in order to feel bad. But...
When you have a kid who will do ANYTHING to get out of his schoolwork... Well, I have a problem with this. I had to explain to him, AGAIN, that sometimes even when we don't feel 100% wonderful, we can still do what is required of us. Oh, what troubles!! The same heart to heart talk for the millionth time!!!! So, miraculously he became new again and was able to do his work! What a miracle! Huh Hmm!!!
Thursday, plans for the day were changed. My son #1 attended a speech and debate competition. I was glad for that. I have always wanted him see what it was like, so that he could maybe get involved with it in a couple of years. Believe it or not, I was able to get a little house "stuff" done during this time.
Then Friday comes...
Do you think I got anything accomplished??? NO!!!
Son #2...AGAIN!!!
The same old thing!!
Just about a whole afternoon was wasted on the same issue! He has issues with complaining, dawdling during his work, and not being responsible!! By the time Dear Hubby got home, I was over the edge. I had had enough. AGAIN!!
Thankfully, tomorrow is a new day!! New beginnings. New chances to get caught up!
