Am really trying to figure whether I should get shares, but got a scare when they drastically dropped the day after the sale was launched.
sort by best latest
What are you basing your decision to buy the Facebook shares? Have you bought shares before? How long do you intend to hold these shares?
These are the kinds of questions you should answer before deciding to buy any share. Buying a share/stock is really an investment. If you analyze the stock and think it meets your set criteria then buy the share. However, personally Facebook does not look like a good bet. There are many flaws in the the way they earn money and how long will it really last?
Forget that it's Facebook and appraise the company as you should for any type of investment. Have you had a look at their accounts? Can you see how they make their profits and how sustainable those figures are? Think like Warren Buffett and invest in companies that have sound financials that makes sense and you will find it hard to go wrong.

British commercial broadcaster ITV said on Tuesday that it bounced into profit in the first half of 2010, and launched its first-ever move into pay-television as part of a new five-year plan.
ITV, which airs hit reality show 'X Factor' and popular soap opera 'Coronation Street', said in a results statement that it soared back into black thanks to improving advertising revenues and the World Cup in South Africa.
The group made a net profit of 71 million pounds (86 million euros, 113 million dollars) in the six months to the end of June, which compared with a loss of 70 million in the same part of last year.
Pre-tax profit stood at 97 million pounds, which contrasted with a shortfall of 105 million pounds last time around.
"The good financial performance we have reported today has enabled us to reduce our debt significantly but does not disguise the underlying challenges we face," said chief executive Adam Crozier.
"We are under no illusion that ITV needs to change substantially," he added in the earnings release.
ITV was slammed by Britain's record-length recession, which ended in late 2009 and saw many companies slash their advertising budgets.
At the same time, the group was also hit hard by fierce competition from digital television channels and the Internet.
"For the past decade ITV has not faced up to the challenges presented by the rise of Internet-based platforms, the continuing growth of pay TV and subscription services and the globalisation of content," added Crozier.
"Re-shaping the economics of ITV will require changes not only to the strategy but also to ITV's management, culture and organisation and to deliver this we are today announcing a five-year transformation plan."
Under the new strategy, ITV seek to streamline the group and maximise its audience and revenue share.
The group will also seek new revenue streams from other platforms, including a new pay-television agreement with BSkyB, as it aims to strengthen the business.

The European Central Bank has failed to mop up the extra liquidity it has pumped into the markets via its controversial programme of buying the bonds of distressed countries, data showed on Tuesday.
Market sources said this could stem from so-called one-off "end-of-month" effects where banks were hoarding cash for accounting purposes but some analysts suggested it could point to mounting tensions between eurozone banks.
The ECB said in a statement that 85 banks bid a total of 194.2 billion euros ($258 billion) for seven-day term deposits in a regular weekly liquidity-absorbing operation.
That fell short of the 203.5 billion euros it has spent on eurozone bonds since last year under a programme to buy up the bonds of eurozone countries that are finding it hard to drum up financing the normal way via the markets.
The ECB is worried that additional liquidity it makes available via the bond purchases could swell the amount of money in circulation and therefore fuel inflation.
It therefore tries to "sterilise" the purchases by draining the same amount from the banking system each week.
It is the first time since May that there has been such a discrepancy but the sixth time in all since the bond-buying programme was launched in May 2010, the ECB said.
Berenberg Bank senior economist Christian Schulz said it "could perhaps mean that the volumes the ECB aims to drain each week are currently getting too high for the banks."
The central bank is currently under intense pressure to do more to resolve the eurozone's debilitating debt crisis.
There have been widespread calls for it to make unlimited bond purchases, effectively becoming a lender of last resort with the firepower to protect debt-ridden eurozone members from falling victim to the bond markets.
But the ECB itself is vehemently opposed, as is Germany, which fears that allowing the central bank to print unlimited amounts of money to stave off an economic slump will have catastrophic effects on inflation.

Ex-Air Force chief hits study panel
The Air Force has only itself to blame for Congress's decision to appoint a panel to help determine its future force structure, the service's former chief says.
Retired Air Force Gen. Ronald Fogleman, who served as Air Force chief of staff from 1994 to 1997, said the need for the commission that met in Crystal City of Arlington, Va., on Tuesday showed the current service had run out of ideas for dealing with tomorrow's slimmer budgets.
Story Continued Below
"If I were a senior leader of the Air Force right now, first of all, I'd be a little embarrassed that Congress had to put you all together," Fogleman said. "My next reaction to that would be: 'What are they going to do to me?' And my third reaction would be, 'Well, they're a fact of life, so I would like to work with them to help me get the things that I need to move forward.'"
The Air Force ruffled a lot of feathers in Congress last year when it asked to cut heavily from its Guard and Reserve components in order to protect its active-duty units. Rather than go along with the active Air Force's request, Congress appointed a blue-ribbon panel to study the makeup of the future force and report its recommendations to President Barack Obama by February. After a visit last week to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, in New Jersey, the commission stopped in Washington to hear from members of Congress and other leaders before it continues its national tour this fall.
Fogleman laid out some possible fixes to the ballooning personnel costs associated with a large active-duty force — modernize; make the active-duty force smaller; enable the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve to meet tighter readiness timelines; allow for "tiered" readiness; and make a place in the force structure for an operational Reserve.
But first, he said, the Air Force and the commission need accurate data on the cost of keeping and maintaining Reserve and Guard units, something he says has been lacking in the past. The timeline idea is key, Fogleman said, because if Reserve units can't mobilize quickly that drives up the size of the active force, which he said happened in the 1990s.
"There's a way to determine how much active force you really need," Fogleman said. "One of the driving issues on utilization of Guard and Reserve is the assumptions you make upfront on timelines."
Pentagon protestations that sequestration is devastating to national security and troop readiness don't give the full picture, he added. Instead, less readiness may not be the sky-is-falling scenario Defense Department officials keep warning of, especially if commanders plan upfront for how they'll handle which units will stay ready for which assignments.
"I think there is, in fact, room in all services for tiered readiness," Fogleman said. "Sometimes you've got to step back and ask yourself, 'What's wrong with a hollow force?'"
The Air Force's deputy chief of staff for strategic plans and programs, Lt. Gen. Michael Moeller fielded tough questions on what data exists about force structure and why the Air Force hasn't been able to fix the problem on its own.
Sequestration has put DOD in a tough budgetary position, Moeller said, but he would not concede that lowering readiness was a good option for his service, even if he said it might work for a branch like the Army.
"Tiered readiness does not work for our Air Force," he said, explaining that the types of skills used by many airmen can't be retained as easily, and get lost a lot faster without upkeep.
"They are full usage all the time," Moeller said. "That just makes us different."

In the wake of a second drug-related arrest of a prison employee, new Luzerne County Correctional Services Division Head Mark Rockovich said he's preparing to reactivate random drug testing of workers.
"I'm 110 percent in support of random drug testing for all prison employees, from myself on down. I think it's a great idea," said Rockovich, a veteran county prison worker who took over as corrections overseer in July.
Former prison counselor Louis Elmy entered a guilty plea last month on charges of extortion and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking, and federal investigators this week charged a second county prison employee — correctional officer John Stachokus — with extortion for allegedly granting unauthorized leave to work-release inmates in exchange for cash and other items.
Prosecutors allege an inmate helped both employees access drugs — cocaine for Stachokus and crack cocaine for Elmy. They described Elmy as a "habitual drug user" and alleged he resorted to selling guns to drug dealers to feed his increasingly costly crack addiction.
Both extortion schemes continued from November 2013 until Elmy was charged in February, prosecutors alleged.
Random drug testing stopped at the prison several years ago under a prior administration due to budgetary challenges, county officials said in February.
County officials had touted creation of the progressive random testing policy in 2006, saying it resulted from more than a year of negotiations with union officials launched after two employees allegedly came to work under the influence of alcohol.
Rockovich said he is in the process of securing prices from drug testing companies.
He wants to complete the testing as often as possible under the county's fiscal constraints. The policy does not limit the frequency of drug testing.
"I'd like to do the testing several times a year if it's not too expensive," Rockovich said.
The prison system employs about 300 people and costs $34.1 million a year — the largest single department expense in the county's budget.
When the prison began drug testing in 2006, officials hired an outside company that charged $75 per test. The company used a computer program involving Social Security numbers to randomly select who would be tested in each batch, with roughly half of the employees tested annually.
The policy says the prison must make "every reasonable attempt" to detect drug and alcohol abuse.
"Given the public safety and security concerns inherent in the operation of a prison, the county has a compelling obligation to eliminate illegal drug use and alcohol abuse from the Luzerne County Correctional Facility workplace," it says.
The policy says employees will be tested for alcohol and the following drugs: marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, Phencyclidine (PCP) and prescribed drugs that are commonly abused, such as barbiturates and other sedatives, tranquilizers, depressants and inhalants.
Employees are subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination, if they test positive for unauthorized drugs or alcohol and don't admit they have an addiction problem and seek access to treatment.
In 2007, less than a year into the program, seven employees had tested positive for drugs and were required to sign a "last chance" agreement and undergo counseling to return to work. The administration could not locate statistics on subsequent test results.
County Manager C. David Pedri said the administration is discussing possible random drug testing of all employees.
The only employees currently randomly tested are those with commercial driver's licenses and in some human service branches, he has said.
The administration also is reviewing all work release program protocols and making adjustments, Pedri said.
For example, management signatures and other documentation have been added for the tracking of instances when work release inmates leave prison grounds for work or college classes.

England v Scotland - Friday 19:45, ITV
Gareth Southgate enters his third game as England boss hoping for a better result than the disappointing stalemate away to Slovenia last time out. Whilst the new coach's start has been underwhelming, many fans were encouraged by the absence of Wayne Rooney from the starting 11, though Dele Alli's injury may provide a route back into the team for the captain. Daniel Sturridge has started both of Southgate's games in charge so far, but with little game time at Liverpool and Harry Kane making a scoring return from injury he may well find himself on the bench.
Scotland have been poor recently, with their only win in their last five matches against minnows Malta. They lost three of the other four in this sequence, only managing a solitary goal in the process. Gordon Strachan has been boosted by the quick return from injury of Robert Snodgrass, and Scott Brown's decision to reverse his international retirement. However, at left-back they have a problem after injuries to both Kieran Tierney and Andy Robertson.
England have conceded in just one of their last five matches, and despite the defence often being cited as one of England's weak spots in recent times, at home they've generally been quite impressive. They've won 13 of their last 14 at Wembley, keeping a clean sheet in 10 of these. Six of their last seven matches against Scotland have seen the Three Lions emerge victorious, and as the Scots have failed to score in three of their last four road games we'll back an England win to nil.£10 Free Credit and a £500 Deposit Bonus

A Harlandale ISD teacher is now considered a hero for dedicating his time to rescue numerous families from the devastating floods in Houston caused by Hurricane Harvey.
It was the first day of school at the Jewel Weitzel Center when Special Education Science Teacher Estevan Salinas received a phone call asking him to report to Houston in six hours.
As a member of the Texas National Guard, Salinas knew this call would be happening soon as Hurricane Harvey was causing catastrophic flooding in Houston and its surrounding cities.
"It was hectic at first, but Ms. Tamaren is a great administrator. She's always been supportive of me being in the military and having to miss school," Salinas said. "With the great staff that we have here, and all the other teachers here, it made the transition really easy because I had to get up and go in a hurry. I left by 11 a.m."
For the next week, Salinas joined a Water Rescue Team and worked alongside other units to rescue victims affected by the hurricane.
"We saw the rain that was hovering over Houston, and it just wreaked havoc on the city," Salinas said. "We saw the devastation that it caused on people's homes. We saved a lot of people, which was good."
Salinas worked with various teams to perform night operations, which included going house to house to get people out safely.
"As an educator, it was difficult to see all the families with three or four children affected. Getting the kids help was our priority because they're a lot more vulnerable," Salinas said.
All of the rescued families were taken to Katy High School in Katy, Texas.
"It was chaotic to see hundreds of people crammed into a school. It was interesting just trying to feed them and put them into something to sleep," he added. "It was nonstop work, day and night."
Salinas arrived back home to San Antonio on Sept. 5 and feels grateful to have been able to help – an experience he will share with his students to teach them the importance of helping and serving others in a desperate time of need.
"I think it's important to help your community, and I try to instill some values into our students," Salinas said. "I think that selflessly serving others is an important part of building character, so if you have an opportunity to help, even if it's something as donating food, clothing or just your time to go talk to people at the centers, help them out in any way that you can. I think that is a big lesson in life."

Knoxville Home Inspections 101: Buyer's Expectations
March 25, 2011 by KnoxvilleInspector
So you've found a home that you love. You've walked through it a few times with your Realtor, and decided to call a Knoxville home inspector to verify that the home is as perfect as you perceive it to be. You anticipate asking the sellers to address any concerns noted by the inspector before closing, so your new house will be trouble-free after you move in. Sounds reasonable, right? And this is how many homebuyers see the home inspection phase of the homebuying process. Unfortunately, it hardly ever turns out this way. Let's take a look at some of the obstacles to such a smooth transaction.
First, there are no perfect houses. I've personally inspected hundreds of homes in the Knoxville area over the last several years, and have yet to find one! Many homebuyers have the expectation that the next house they purchase will be perfect, which could never really happen. When choosing a house or a spouse, a perfect choice may not be possible, but a poor choice will make you miserable. So in both cases, the best you can hope for is to make a very good choice.
Secondly, home inspections are not intended to point out all items in the home that are less than perfect. Most Knoxville home inspectors will make note of an item when it is not functioning as intended, or should reasonably be expected to stop functioning in the near future, or presents a safety concern to occupants. Many other items may be seen as less than perfect by the buyer, but will not be mentioned in the home inspection report.
Next, very few sellers will agree to address every item brought to light during the home inspection, though it does happen. Usually sellers are more likely to accept financial responsibility for major problems or safety issues because they know if the present deal falls through, they'll likely have to face these issues again with the next potential buyer. So buyers are much better served by keeping some perspective on what's really important in the transaction, and compromising when necessary.
And finally, homes require periodic upkeep and maintenance. Mechanical systems fail, plumbing systems develop leaks, and roofs will eventually need replacement. This is the reality of being a homeowner. However, by contracting with a professional Knoxville home inspection service at the appropriate time in the process, buyers are exposed to much less risk of unexpected expenses after closing ….. and find themselves much more content with their decision.

AAU President Harps on Funding, Academic Standards in Varsities
The President, Association of African Universities (AAU) and Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Olusola Oyewole, has restated the call for better funding and academic standards for African Universities, noting that the quality of teaching and research in such institutions remain a big challenge leading to students and staff unrests, poor infrastructure and migration of talented academics to developed countries.
Professor Oyewole, who made this call during the 1st Soils of Forest Islands in Africa (SOFIIA) Workshop on "Scientific Methods and Communication, Scientific Proposals and Ecosystems of Africa", held in the University, lamented that despite the African Union's commitment to the allocation of at least, one per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of its countries to Research and Development (R & D), only very few countries had complied, resulting in low research publications.
The Vice-Chancellor was represented at the occasion by the immediate past Dean, College of Plant Science and Crop Production (COLPLANT), Professor 'Goke Bodunde, who commended the sponsors of the workshop, the Royal Society for pushing forward capacity building activities and ensuring that students from developing countries benefited from them, adding that research activities in FUNAAB, which is one of the hosts of the SOFIIA project cut across all the various aspects of agriculture, soil, environment and beyond. According to him, FUNAAB is reputed for research and academic excellence, effective grants management and conducive atmosphere, assuring the sponsors of the SOFIIA project that the University was capable of executing the project.
The Project Manager of SOFIIA, Professor Jon Lyloyd of the Imperial College, United Kingdom, disclosed that the SOFIIA project was sponsored by the Royal Society through the United Kingdom Department for International Development (UK DfID), African Capacity Building Initiative with special focus on Masters and Doctorate students in Universities in Africa to effectively engage in research and on how to communicate the research findings to the international community.
The Principal Investigator, Nigeria, Dr. Jamiu Azeez, stated that the DfID African Capacity Building Initiative was aimed at strengthening the research capacity of Universities and research institutions by supporting the development of sustainable research networks. He further disclosed that the project was manned by a consortium of scientists from London, Nigeria, Ghana and Burkina Faso. He added that the project was capable of achieving the objectives of facilitating sustainable multi-disciplinary partnership between research groups in sub-Sahara Africa and the UK; strengthening research and training capacity in sub-Sahara African institutions of Higher Education through skills transfer between partner organisations of the research consortia; producing a cadre of young, talented researchers through integrated Ph.D scholarships and shared supervision of postgraduate students between the UK-based and African consortia members and evaluating the contributions of the Africa initiative to supporting Universities and institutions in Africa in developing sustainable research and training capacity.
In another development, the AAU President, Professor Olusola Oyewole, has disclosed that the national regulatory agency of any country has the right to offer advice on the quality of educational delivery that its citizen could subscribe to. Professor Oyewole stated this while responding to questions posed to him by an education reporter recently. He noted that the current stance of the National Universities Commission (NUC), on the regulation of academic programmes in Universities, was based on its perception of the expected standards in educational delivery, saying that the commission desired the best for the nation. "The non-acceptability of online degrees by the NUC does not mean that on-line mode of educational delivery is bad. Indeed, many institutions now combine both face-to-face delivery with on-line delivery modes, for effective teaching and learning", Professor Oyewole said. "A study of the fraudulent on-line degree providers reveals that the process of examination is compromised and credits are offered without actual learning. Some of these on-line degree providers are 'degree-mills'', where degrees are offered for cash without learning. In some dubious on-line courses that ought to run for three to four years in conventional programmes, they are offered for six months. Until the on-line delivery providers can provide assurance of the quality of their contents and process, their credibility will continue to be in doubt", he added.
The Don, however, disclosed that the decision of the NUC will not affect well-structured distance learning programmes of institutions who already have in place, good quality control activities for their course materials, delivery and examination processes as many of the distance learning programmes had already included face-to-face contact hours with the students while the delivery mode may be on-line, the examination process still demanded that the students were physically present for examinations.

Maruste: Estonian Society Would Be More Open With a Lower Voting Age ({{commentsTotal}})
At a open session of the Constitutional Committee, Chairman Rait Maruste said giving the right to vote at least at the local level would bring more young people into politics and balance out Estonia's aging society.
The change would show that society is open and willing to adapt to changing circumstances, Maruste said on Tuesday, adding that the coalition is ready to bring in such legislation, while the opposition has its doubts.
Tallinn University Professor Anu Toots said giving younger people voting rights would help integration as those who are yet to decide on a citizenship would be more likely to select Estonia.
Maruste said the average age of voters would decrease to a "more sensible" mark, adding that currently politics is viewed as a bad thing, but it affects all of society and political debates should take place already in schools.
Politicians are kept away from schools as teachers and parents think children should be protected, which has led to younger people being ignorant about democracy.
Jaak Aaviksoo of the IRL faction said few young people, from 18 to 25, participate in elections and lowering the voting age might not bring many new people to the polls. Toots said she does not agree, as 16- and 17-year-olds are more connected to local politics than the 18-to-25 group, who have left their home to study at universities.

ReunionWednesday, December 5th, 2012
I'm immobile. My nervous system is failing to send messages from my brain to my feet. My mouth is dry. I don't think I could speak, even if I knew what to say. I've contemplated this moment in my head a million times, and somehow I still don't have a game plan. Not that it matters, even if I had one I wouldn't be able to follow it at this point.
He saw me, I know he did. I could feel his steel blue eyes piercing my skin from across the room. Our eyes met for a brief second, but his face was unreadable, emotionless. He always had an amazing poker face. I never knew what he was thinking, even when we were close. I look away, I can't meet his gaze. But curiosity gets the better of me, and I look-up again.
He's gone.
My eyes search the room, and I see a flash of his coral blue polo amongst the color spectrum of the crowd. I realize he's making his way toward me and my heart freezes. We make eye contact again and he motions for me not to move. But I don't listen, I have to get closer.
And when we reach common ground somewhere in the middle, tunnel vision kicks in and he's all I see. His tan skin looks worn, but I know that if I could just touch it, it would be soft. He's smiling, and though it's as goofy as ever, something about it makes me hold my breath.
I try my best to smile back. There are so many things I want to say, so many things I left unsaid. I can't even remember the last time we spoke. Once again, I'm immobile. Do we shake-hands, all formal and adult like? Do we high-five like we used to when we were kids? So much time has passed, I don't know the appropriate step to take.
Luckily, he makes the first move. His hands are open at his sides and he takes a step forward. Somehow I mirror his actions. Then his arms are surrounding me and I rest my head on his chest as he squeezes me tightly. But not too tight. The hug feels foreign, yet somehow familiar at the same time. I realize we've never been this close before; we've made a point to keep a safe distance our whole lives. And yet here I am, in his arms, all past inhibitions floating away like leaves on the wind.
"It's been forever," his voice says right above my ear. "You have no idea how much I've missed you."
"I've missed you, too," I whisper.

Project: East Side Tower M 60, 16-storey residential tower, Berlin
Contractor: A.M.M.A.R. Bau GmbH, Berlin
MEVA Systems: Wall formwork Mammut 350, Slab formwork MevaFlex, Shoring tower MEP, Heavy duty braces Triplex SB, Folded working platform KAB 190
Engineering: MEVA Formwork Systems, Berlin
The famous luxury residential East Side Tower M 60 is being erected looking directly at the remnants of the Berlin Wall which formerly divided Berlin into East and West. It is an architecturally challenging job on 16 levels. Local contractor A.M.M.A.R. Bau GmbH relied on MEVA formwork, engineering and support to achieve the landmark in schedule and budget.
Floating balconies supported safely
The apartment balkonies jump in groups of three from one corner to the next on the next level. The height difference between the balconies of a group is 3.45 m and 8.75 m between the groups. During construction they were supported with MEP shoring towers. Special alignment rails and the heavy-duty braces Triplex were needed for added strength.
Complete solution for walls, slabs and safety with KAB 190
The folded working platform KAB 190 came to good use as a safe working platform with fall protection and loadbearing platform for putting the formwork in place. Slabs were poured using MevaFlex; the walls were erected with the panelised wall formwork system Mammut 350 and its 100 % wood-free all-plastic facing alkus.

As Qatar's population and economy keep growing and water demand is increasing, the Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation (KAHRAMAA) has launched an ambitious water project to provide increased water storage capacities and extend the supply reserve of drinking water from two to seven days.
One of Ontario's busiest transportation corridors, Highway 400, began a major expansion project through Kings Township in late 2016. This $79.3 million dollar (CAD) project includes the widening of the highway from three to six lanes in each direction for a two mile stretch and also entails safer on and off ramps, the expansion and realignment of culverts, and the replacement of two bridges − one of them the South Canal Bridge.
The new theater is called The Otto M. Budig Theater and located in Cincinnati's Over-The-Rhine district. When completed, it will become the last section of the planned "Classical Arts Corridor" in Cincinnati, which also includes a Music Hall, School for Creative and Performing Arts, and a park.

This spring edition of CHANGE focuses on God as our Supply, our Source, and our Sustainer! Nothing highlights this more than springtime, when everything is in bloom, and we witness the beauty of God's creation as it blossoms right before our eyes.
In my article "God Sustains Us," I remind you that God is truly the One Who sustains all life: plant life, animal life, and human life. There are so many things that science still can't explain. So, don't believe for one split second that they've figured it all out. In fact, science is continually making startling revelations that prove the Bible is true (even though it was written thousands of years ago) and that an intelligent Being has to be the genius behind all the wonders of life on this planet. Yes, He's intelligent alright; His name is G-O-D! Hallelujah!
It's vitally important that we look to God as the One Who sustains our personal lives as well. You may take the credit for your successes, but remember that you are the branch and Jesus is the vine! (John 15:5). Apart from Him, you can do nothing! Whether you realize it or not, everything good that has ever happened to and for you, came from God! I talk about what it means to trust God as your Source in "Who's Your Daddy?"
There's also one vitally important thing that's reinforced in this issue, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ—Who is your Source, your Supply, and your Sustainer—is also the Person of Grace. So, whatever you're going through today, whether its marriage issues, family issues, financial issues, or even some addiction you can't seem to break free from, never forget that grace is a Person; not a topic, we preach about in church, or a curriculum we study. Christ is the face of Grace! He's a "hands-on" Friend Who sticks closer than any brother (Proverbs 18:24) and He's ready, willing, and able to rescue and deliver you from the storms of life. You'll read more about that this month in my column "It's All about Grace."
God also made all of us relational creatures. No one is an island unto himself. So, even in your relationships you must acknowledge God as your Source. You must not make the mistake of looking to another human being to fulfill your needs, or to rescue you from loneliness. If you do, you'll be deeply disappointed. The void in your heart can only be filled and satisfied by God Himself. It's in Him that we live, move, and have our very being (Acts 17:28). God wants us to enjoy the good life (John 10:10), but He never intended for us to cling to others to get our needs met. God alone is the Sustainer of our lives.
My prayer is that this spring issue of CHANGE will prompt you to look within. The answers you're seeking for anything in life cannot be found in what this world calls the "trappings of success" or even in a close relationship with others. True fulfillment comes from cultivating a deep, abiding relationship with the Person of Grace, Jesus Christ!
We love hearing about what God is doing in your life, and we would love to hear how the Gospel of grace is impacting you, so please share your testimonies! Your feedback and comments are important to us, and we would love to hear from you.

Corsair H70 review -
Introduction Page
Aah summer hot summer the best season to chill anything. Your mind will probably be fixed on ice-creams or ice cubes licking them of .. well .. but really our mind still remain on processors. Another review is delivered directly at you from Guru3D.com we aim to give answers and solutions in order to cool your processor cores and threads properly. There are two primary points you need to pay attention to: cooling efficiency and noise levels since the fundamental standard of a CPU cooler selection consists out of these two, and also (as a third point) the price tag is another factor that effects all manner of products and is always taken under customers consideration.
Corsair brings an updated innovative type of cooler that combines both the efficiency of a water-cooling system with the ease installation of a common air cooler. How they do that? Well, the base of H70 water block is placed upon the processors surface and the thermal energy is picked up by the coolant which then starts pumping forward to the radiator through the tubes.
As side effect, the thick radiator gets hotter and hotter, thats why we need a fan to push away all these waves of thermal energy. After all, Corsair wants to squeeze out a little extra performance, so they include not one but two fans so as to take care of this issue and have them configured in a push-pull configuration. The liquid coolant manages to transfer larger quantity of thermal energy than the air, thus at least on theory base, it offers you a better cooling solution. Hey, we cant ignore the fact that liquid cooling dominated over our automobiles gas engine the last hundred years.
Of course you have already seen images of impressive water-cooling setups. Radiators, pumps, tubing, blocks, fittings etc much stuff they all seem hard to install, and most of you guys are still; afraid to fool around with water in your PC.
Corsair has an answer on that and presents us a fully ready-to-use-and-install water-cooling kit. There is no need to put any water-cooled piece together because this closed loop is already, completely installed 100% at the factory. To put that in simple words, the installation of H70 is just as simple as the installation of a common heatsink, suffice it to say that you need a full tower case with vast areas inside for airflow.
Having the product in our labs, you can expect some specific tests and have some comparative results of all the other air coolers weve tested in the past.
Nonetheless, we would like to notice that H70 does not aim to replace a custom water-cooling setup, but to provide you with something in the middle of air and water cooling, at an affordable price. Will it succeed to put theory into practice or not?, well .. you will find it out by reading the next pages of our review. Have a peek and head onward to the next page please.

Blood Status: Pure
Social Class: Upper
Family: Bertram Blackwood -Father -Owner of Blackwood Brooms
Eugenia Blackwood - Mother -Socialite
Bertram Blackwood - Older brother - Works for father at Blackwood Brooms
Appearance: Ginevra is 5,3, and built slender, it's been a big part of what makes her a good quidditch player. Ginevra has long flame red hair, of which she is very proud and as such only wears colours and accessories which she feels best compliments it, so lots of greens and sky blues. Her style tends to be very modern, whatever is the cutting edge of fashion is. Ginny has the same bone structure as her father, normally that would be a bad thing except her father has exceptionally high cheekbones and a very fine bone structure, she does however have her mothers ear and nose. Her hair comes from her mothers side of the family, with her fathers side sporting blonde hair.
*Bertram and Eugenia Blackwood partook in an arranged marriage -loveless but friendly.
*Bertram jnr. was born
*Bertram snrs father passed away, leaving Blackwood Brooms to his son
*Bertram snr continues to grow and expand the broom making business
*Ginevra Blackwood is born, and named after Eugenia Blackwoods mother
*Bertram displays magic for the first time.
*Ginevra displays magic for the first time at 4, levitating her dolls around the room.
*Bertram Blackwood goes to Hogwarts, he is sorted into Gryffindor
*Ginevra goes to Hogwarts and joins her brother in Gryffindor
*She wants to try out for the house team but her father insisted that she wait until her debut to play the sport competitively -she sulkily agreed.
*Bertram was injured in an accident practising quidditch ahead of the house try outs putting his professional quidditch career to an end.

*She debuted in a private coming out ceremony
*She received her NEWT scores and were decent
*Ginevra tried out for the Cudley Canons straight out of Hogwarts
*Her parents are not entirely pleased with her choice of profession, or that she chose a profession at all. Her mother is a supporter of women's suffrage and believes women are mens equals but wishes her daughter was a little more subtle in her views. She wants grandchildren and doesnt want Vera's outspoken nature to spoil her chances.
*Ginevra lives with her brother in Hogsmeade, but they maintain a house in Chudley to facilitate training, and a home in London where their parents still reside.
Personality: Vera is funny and vivacious, she is confident and outgoing, she always has been. ~She is a firecracker and always has been, she does not respect the limitation that society would put on her sex, and instead she sees most barriers as barriers of class or finance than of gender or blood. She is an ardent feminist and supports women's suffrage, which isnt always a popular opinion.
She cares very little for the opinion of others, she plays quidditch because she enjoys it, she knows that her inheritance is reasonably substantial and as such she has no need to curry the good favour of others, as she will never need to rely on a husband for her keep - as such any marriage she would enter into would be one of genuine love. She knows the sort of people that she likes and it's not generally those in high society. She would rather spend her time with muggles borns of good character than purebloods who think too highly of themselves.

In the midst of spring cleaning kitchens and bedrooms, it's not such a bad idea to start 'spring cleaning' your body as well.
It's been a long winter, which means few of us had much exposure to sun (and if we're being honest, exercise), and probably turned to a lot more heavy comfort foods.
I'm a strong believer of making your own opinion and listening to your body and hearing what works for you.
Equinox Health Clinic is excited to introduce Darrelle Ann Butler. Darrelle brings 15 years of practice to her position, priding herself on slow paced and extremely precise treatment, giving you the feeling of relaxation, with the high level of acuity that is achievable with her experience.

Aggregate Supply. The AS is the part of our national economy model where the production side is studied. Analogy. Which blade cuts the paper when you use a pair of scissors on the paper? The answer is that you need both to cut the paper.

The AS is the part of our national economy model where the production side is studied.
Which blade cuts the paper when you use a pair of scissors on the paper?
The answer is that you need both to cut the paper.
Up to now in our theory about the national economy we have talked about aggregate expenditure, AE, and its connection to aggregate demand, AD. But, just like we need both blades in the scissors, we also have to build in aggregate supply into our theory.
As we build a model of the national economy we will need to distinguish between the short run and the long run. (Some of you may have seen the short run and the long run in a micro class. But in this macro class the reason for having both time frames is different than in micro – please note that and try to keep the two straight.)
I like to have you think about an analogy to get a feel for the long run and the short run. Imagine that you are running – for now it does not matter what shape you are in, just think about running. When you run right now you have a pace at which you run. The pace is determined by your general health. In a "long run" you will go at your pace.
For short periods of time you may run faster than the pace – to beat the traffic light or something, or you may run slower than the pace – you know you can not beat the traffic light so you slow down, but still run to keep moving (you are afraid if you quit running you will walk home and never exercise again.)
In the long run in the economy there is a natural "pace" for output. That pace is determined by the state of technology and the amount or endowment of resources we have. Long term, the economy will gravitate toward that natural pace. (If you have every jogged you know the pace changes the better shape you are in – and the same is true in the economy.)
Another point about the time frame is that the long run is defined as the time frame in which price level changes will be matched by nominal wage and other resource price changes.
The short run is defined as the time frame that when the price level changes not enough time has elapsed to permit nominal wage and other resource price changes.
Price level, P
Remember we want to use a diagram or graph like this. Let's see how the long run aggregate supply (LRAS) fits in the graph.
Given a state of technology and resource endowments the LRAS is shown as one level of RGDP. We place it in the graph at a level – actually determined by looking at real world data. Since it is a vertical line, we see that if the price level should change the quantity supplied in the long run will not change.
The reason the LRAS is a vertical line is because a price level change can not change the level of output – only better technologies or more resources can change the LRAS.
In fact, if better technologies or more resources are found the LRAS will shift to the right.
So, more labor, capital, natural resources and technological knowledge shift the LRAS to the right.
One last point about the LRAS - at any point in history the economy has a potential RGDP level and we show that level as the position of the LRAS. This level of output is called the natural rate of output.
The SRAS has an upward slope to it as we view it from left to right.
On the previous screen you see that at P1 the SRAS = LRAS supply. At prices above P1 we move up the SRAS. How can more be produced in the economy above the natural "pace?" Similarly, at prices below P1 we move down along the SRAS and output would be less than natural.
On the last screen the SRAS crossed the LRAS at price level P1. Note that at levels of RGDP less than this the SRAS is somewhat flat and at level of RGDP above this the curve is somewhat steep.
Let's look at this next.
In order to see the points about SRAS we need to think about the following ratio:
Total input cost/units of output.
This ratio is the per unit production cost (on average) of output. Ultimately the price per unit has to cover this or firms would not be able to produce. The SRAS is a curve showing what price levels have to be to get the various levels of output produced.
When output is already below the full employment level this means many resources are underutilized. So the price level does not have to expand much to get more output. With the higher price level firms have an incentive to produce more.
Now, when output is already at the full employment level of output or above, additional output is that much harder to come by. In order to get the additions, the price level would have to really jump to get the additional output.
Jogging analogy again. When you are jogging really slow you can be induced to speed up with little extra reward, but if you are already sprinting the reward needs to be extra large to get you to go even faster.
The SRAS supply curve can shift if we have a change in
1) Input prices, 2) market power, 3) productivity, 4) business taxes and subsidies, and 5) government regulation. Let's look at each idea here next.
If input or resources prices rise, then per unit production costs rise and thus at the same output price level firms in total would reduce output and SRAS would shift to the left.
If markets become less competitive firms in those markets that deal with productive resources will have input prices rise, and we have the same result as previously stated.
If productivity grows then firms can make available for sale a greater number of goods available for sale at each price level – The SRAS shifts to the right.
When business taxes grow, or when subsidies fall, firms have to pay out a greater amount from the price level they receive and therefore they keep less. The fact that they keep less makes them more reluctant to supply and thus SRAS shifts to the left.
Government regulation is usually costly for the firm to cover and so more regulations reduce SRAS and this means the curve shifts to the left.
In the short run if the price level changes, output can change from the long run level set by technology and resource endowments, but eventually input prices adjust and bring output back in line with the long run pace.
We will see later that the time it takes to adjust my be unsatisfactory to you and me. We may want monetary or fiscal policy tools – we discuss later – to "correct" the situation faster.

Bunnahabhain isn't known for rich, smoky single malts. In fact, apart from their Toiteach and the "Intensely Peated" Ceòbanach, Bunnahabhain's core range of expressions, from 12-40, could be described as "lightly peated". And when I say "lightly peated," i'm talking in the range of around .5 – 2 ppm (according to Bunnahabhain) – very, very light…as in nothing like Ardbeg, Lagavulin or Laphroaig. So when I saw this "Heavily Peated" expression of Bunnahabhain selected by independent bottler Battlehill (Duncan Taylor), I couldn't pass up the opportunity. However what intrigued me the most about this bottle of Bunnahabhain wasn't its uncommonly high levels of peat, but its 4 year age statement. At just 4 years old, it not only is the youngest single malt i've ever come across in the wild, but it's also just one year over the minimum legal age that Scotch Whisky is required to be.
So what we have here is an uncommonly peated Bunnahabhain, at an unusually young age. On top of all that, it's been bottled at 58% abv (116 proof), making it well within the realm of cask strength. This Bunnahabhain's label and box both state that the juice was simply "Aged In Oak Casks", which could theoretically mean anything. However judging from the color (which I suspect has had some E150A color added), and more importantly the overall flavor profile, i'm 99% sure the "Oak" Battlehill is referring to is American…specifically ex-bourbon…
Bunnahabhain 4 Year Heavily Peated, Battlehill
ABV: 58% // 116 proof
Age: 4 years
Mash Bill: 100% Malted Barley, Single Malt
1 of 1152 bottles
Color: Molten Honey
Nose: Bold, strongly accentuated peat – Laphroaig like, but not as phenolic. Notes of dried, green vegetation follow along hand in hand with savory notes of orchard and dried fruits, particularly lemon, lemon merengue and a tart raspberry compote. Crystal clear, sweet bourbon notes create the backbone for the nose, complimenting the prior peat and fruit with honey, bee's wax, brown sugars, American oak, vanilla and baked bread while rounding off with hints of cured peppered meats, peppered jerky, and honeyed ham.
Palate: Oily, thickly viscous and heavy while being slightly dry. Coarsely crushed black peppercorns & bitter fruit rind. The peat sings here – it's herbaceous and super dank with tons of IPA hops and dried leaves. Honey from the nose penetrates the peaty herbaceousness and brings along the rest of the bourbon gang with vanilla, oak and some mildly floral notes. Very drinkable considering this is 116 proof. It's not terribly complex on the palate, but this should be expected at 4 years of age. What I really like is everything on the palate is very consistent with the nose. Evocative and with definitive personality.
Finish: Long and full flavored. Like the palate, the finish isn't complex, however what you are left with is displayed in spades: herbaceous peat reek, smoke, honey, honey cream, vanilla cream, lemon, freshly crushed nutmeg, black pepper and resiny oak. The peat by far out lasts everything though, and due to the youthfulness of this single malt, you're left solely, after everything else fades, with the vivid peat reek, and it's simply magnificent.
Bourbon and House Rating: 90.5
Virtually all of my preconceptions about this single malt were true, and i'm still to this moment left pleasantly surprised. As a high proof, heavily peated Bunnahabhain, I knew to expect big peat and strong signature Bunnahabhain house malt notes, but I wasn't expecting the bourbon influence to be so gorgeous from a swift 4 years. Being so young, this single malt is incredibly spirit driven, which I love but this did mean it would likely be lacking any substantial complexity. That being said, what this single malt lacks in complexity is made up for with its prepossessing character and balance, and I feel that much of this is directly proportional to its age to abv ratio; its youth is its charm, and the high proof its personality. It's evident that some killer bourbon barrels were selected by Bunnahabhain, which should come as no surprise. The peat adds lovely weight and balance to the bourbon cask influence & the signature Bunnahabhain house profile is fresh and vibrant, even from just 4 years in the cask(s) – mad props to Battlehill for bottling this one at 116 proof.
One trivial gripe/rant I have with this single malt, or more pointedly Battlehill, is that I think they added color to this. Many independent bottlers proudly display that they add no coloring. Battlehill however is not one of these, as nowhere on any of their packaging, or website do they state that no coloring has been added or that the whisky they bottle is naturally colored. Ergo, one must assume that coloring has been added. Another reason I feel coloring has been added is because since reviewing this, I recently picked up a Bunnahabhain bottled by Signatory called 'Moine Heavily Peated' that, like all Signatory bottlings, is bottled at 'Natural Color' (no coloring added). This expression from Bunnahabhain was aged for 7 years, was bottled at 46% abv, and it has a significantly lighter color than the Battlehill. Now the Battlehill is 58% abv, and is non-chill filtered, so that could attest to its slightly darker hue. Battlehill's label does not specify that it hasn't been chill filtered, however after adding water to one glass, and ice to another, the whisky hazed up quite nicely both times, so that along with its oily mouthfeel makes me almost positive this has not been subjected to chill filtration. Whether coloring has been added will forever be a mystery – I just find it suspicious that a 7 year old has a significantly lighter color than a 4 year old, which leads me to believe that at the very least, coloring has been added to Battlehill's 4 year Bunnahabhain.
Taking my rant even further, I recently found a bottle of Bunnahabhain bottled by Cadenhead which was aged in ex-bourbon for 10 years. Cadenhead is Scotlands oldest independent bottler, and explicitly states that "the whisky in this bottle has not been treated to change its colour. It is free from additives and has not been subjected to chill filtration", and even this 10 year old was noticeably lighter than Battlehill's 4 year Bunnahabhain. Whisky for thought.
I was torn about rating this one. The saying "your first pour is always the worst pour," applies to this single malt, but even my first pour was great, and it only got better. The whisky needed time to open up, it was incredibly tight and tasted very, very simple – but over just a weeks time, and a few more pours, it became quickly apparent that this single malt's beauty was its simplicity. As I mentioned earlier, I gave this Bunnahabhain a 90.5. It's young, very young, and so it's easy to assume this won't stand up to other single malts which bare double digits on their label and most would be dissuaded from even the thought of purchasing a bottle of this. This is unfortunate though, as its youth is enchanting – and its gushing with quality and richness. Although not complex, the characteristics and notes it does showcase are brilliantly clear, fresh and precise. Nothing is muddled or fuzzy. Bottled at cask strength(ish) and 8 years removed from the next closest sibling in Bunnahabhain's core range, I thought this bottling was very special, considering it gives you an insight rarely seen in the world of single malt Scotch whisky. The bourbon notes of honey and vanilla mixed with the herbaceous peat and signature Bunnahabhain wax & lemon made this malt well rounded, and in my opinion, well executed. Its buttery and sumptuous, thick and oily, and sure to satisfy any Peat fanatic's craving. If their was ever a single malt to prove that age truly does not matter, this would be it.
Wrapping up on the topic of age, this 4 year old Bunnahabhain is a valuable tool in showing what a very young single malt is capable of. In a market saturated with older age statements & murky NAS, trying this will give you a great point of reference so that you can really compare & contrast a truly young single malt to many of the older, mature single malts on the market, and hopefully see that age truly does not guarantee quality.
Bottle was purchased at Total Wine for $54.99.

I have received a message from Germany. It is an answer to my topic (which appears just above your topic).
The sender's name is Peter Lewicki. He is only German-speaking and he took me wrongly as Wladimir Lewicki. Actually I am looking for any contact with child(ren) of Wladimir - it is all described in my topic.
Anyway, the message from Peter Lewicki has some intriguing mentions about his grandmother Leokardia Lewicki and his father's sibling (which emigrated to Australia and Brazil). If this is helpful to your own research I'll include all the details in email.

Pharmaceutical companies have been fielding a slate of new drugs for multiple sclerosis in the past few years—most recently the new oral pill diethyl fumarate (Tecfidera) that analysts see as a potential multibillion-dollar revenue source for Weston, MA-based Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB).
For the most part, however, the new MS drugs treat the progressive disease in its early stage, called relapsing-remitting MS, in which patients have periodic attacks of brain inflammation but then recover some of their lost muscle strength and other abilities. Unfortunately, doctors have little to offer patients who move into a later stage, secondary progressive MS, which causes a gradual and lasting decline in physical functioning.
It's that later phase of the disabling neurodegenerative disease that the small Texas biotechnology company Opexa Therapeutics (NASDAQ: OPXA) decided to tackle. Opexa's cell-based immunotherapy imilecleucel-T (Tcelna), if successful in clinical trials, could become the first "personalized" treatment for multiple sclerosis, says CEO Neil Warma (pictured above). The company uses a blood sample from each patient to generate cells designed to activate the immune system against the individual traits of that person's disease. The cells are then re-injected into the patient.
Opexa is hoping its cell therapy will provide a much safer alternative to the currently approved drug for secondary progressive MS (SPMS), a repurposed cancer drug called mitoxantrone (Novantrone.) Side effects are often a significant drawback of MS drugs, but doctors have to be particularly careful with mitoxantrone, which comes with an FDA "black box" warning because it can have toxic effects on the heart.
"It's rarely used, or it's used with caution," Warma says. Doctors may try keeping patients with SPMS on drugs approved for the relapsing form of MS, but often there's little clinical evidence of efficacy in SPMS and a risk of side effects, Warma says. "An awful lot of patients are not taking anything," he says.
Opexa, based in The Woodlands, TX, north of Houston, was once among the competitors in the crowded field of drug companies developing treatments for relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). The Texas company saw encouraging efficacy trends and a reassuring safety record in a mid-stage trial of imilecleucel-T in both RRMS and SPMS patients that ended in late 2008, Warma says. Opexa received the FDA's approval for a Phase 3 trial in RRMS.
But Opexa took a pause to regroup and plan its best path forward, says Warma, who became CEO in 2008. The company modernized processes at its manufacturing plant to prepare for the scale-up needed for a large clinical trial and the possible commercial launch of imilecleucel-T. Opexa also rearranged its priorities after listening to pharmaceutical industry advisors who said the company should pursue approval first in secondary progressive MS, an area of significant unmet need.
Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable disorder whose effects vary among individuals from mild flare-ups to paralyzing disabilities. About 2.1 million people worldwide suffer from the disease, including at least 400,000 in the United States, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The relapsing form of MS accounts for about 85 percent of cases. But many early stage MS patients develop secondary progressive MS after 10 to 20 years, Warma says. A successful treatment for SPMS could compete for a 40 percent share of a U.S. market in MS drugs now worth as much as $12 billion a year, he says.
Opexa has emerged from its rebuilding phase over the past year, growing to more than 30 employees and adding experts in clinical research, manufacturing, and regulatory issues. In September, the company began a Phase 2 clinical trial of imilecleucel-T in 180 participants with secondary progressive MS. The drug has a fast track designation from the FDA.
Opexa's experimental therapy is aimed at immune system cells called T-cells that go awry, attacking the sheath of myelin that insulates and protects nerves. Each MS patient's destructive T-cells recognize particular sections of myelin proteins. Those peptide sections that set off the T-cell attack can be different from one individual patient to the next. The peptide triggers can also change over time for each patient as the myelin sheath deteriorates and different protein sections are exposed.
In Opexa's ongoing trial, T-cells from each participant's blood are induced to multiply. Like the damaging T-cells that occur naturally in patients with MS, the T-cells in preparations of imilecleucel-T react to the specific myelin peptides characteristic in each individual. But the artificially grown T-cells are irradiated, so they can't multiply once the imilecleucel-T treatment is re-introduced into the body.
As Warma explains it, the flood of newly injected T-cells arouses the immune system to recognize the patient's naturally occurring myelin-attacking T-cells as a threat to be destroyed. The injected T-cells, already weakened by irradiation, die off quickly.
Opexa expects to complete enrollment of the mid-stage trial in early 2014 and announce topline data in early 2016. So far, the company is funding the trial itself. But under a deal announced in February, Merck Serono has an option to license imilecleucel-T at any point during the trial and could pick up the full development costs.
Merck Serono, based in Darmstadt, Germany, is the biopharmaceutical division of German drug giant Merck KGaA (which is independent from Whitehouse Station, NJ-based Merck & Co.). The German conglomerate markets Rebif, an interferon beta product used for the relapsing form of MS. Merck's U.S. affiliate, EMD Serono, sells mitoxantrone under the brand name Novantrone.
Under the Merck Serono deal, Opexa gained a $5 million upfront payment. A fundraising round early this year brought its total of new capital up to $9.5 million. Opexa's cash trove will support its operations into the fourth quarter of this year. But Warma says the company will need to raise more money to keep going after that.
A success in SPMS could build the case for a Phase 3 trial of imilecleucel-T in the earlier, relapsing form of MS, Warma says. Despite the succession of new drugs approved for that early stage, current treatment options for RRMS leave room for improvement, he says. Side effects can be severe, or efficacy can be limited.
No drug offers a cure for any form of multiple sclerosis, but the new RRMS drugs have delivered substantial improvements. Biogen Idec's diethyl fumarate (Tecfidera), approved by the FDA in March, was the latest of three drugs to offer MS patients the convenience of pills taken by mouth as an alternative to injectable drugs such as Rebif and glatiramer (Copaxone), a polypeptide marketed by Teva Neuroscience of Kansas City, MO.
Although big drug developers have raced to produce oral MS drugs, Warma says Opexa's injected treatment could still be competitive. The company's hope is that a therapy tailored for every patient, and made from their own cells, will deliver greater efficacy as well as greater safety than drugs currently available. If the data on imilecleucel-T in SPMS show such a favorable benefit/risk ratio, Opexa might be able to command a slight premium on the prevailing price of about $60,000 for a year's treatment with current MS drugs, Warma says.
It's too soon to say how many years an MS patient would take imilecleucel-T if the treatment is approved, Warma says. In the ongoing clinical trial, participants will receive a new preparation each year for two years. Trial investigators will take note whether there's a change in the myelin peptides targeted by the T-cells in each individual from year to year. The performance of imilecleucel-T will be evaluated by measures of brain atrophy and other signs of disease progression.
Warma says big competitors such as Biogen Idec and Novartis are starting to explore the potential of secondary progressive MS treatments, perhaps because they think the relapsing form of MS is already well covered by a range of drugs.
"Hopefully, Opexa is ahead of the curve," Warma says.
