The Different Benefits that You May Get from Hiring a Moving Company
You may have seen many people who have been moving from one place to a new one. There are many reasons for people to move to a new place such as wanting to be closer to the new office or finding a better home or being able to find a place that is much cheaper than before. In the same way, there are those who move to other countries because one is offered with a good job and there is a higher salary offered and one has made the decision to go there.
As what you can see, this also happens in businesses. The companies and the offices that relocate because of the fact that their present location isn't good enough anymore or the expenditure which they have in their present place is quite high. This would usually take place among companies but what you must understand is that people would relocate at least once in their life and it would be great that when you are in this situation, you should get a moving company to help you rather than do things on your own. However, it is very important that you get to know the benefits when you would hire a moving company.
An essential thing that you must know if you would hire such company is that you will have a lighter load. There are several things that you should be taking care of or packing when you would move and with this, you won't have so much time to deal with everything and you have to ensure that you pack things properly and not forget anything too. But, if you are going to get moving company services, professionals will be the ones who are going to take care of the packing of things and they would also do this carefully. Such means that you can get a free time to deal with other things that you have to.
What other benefit you can get form such moving company services is that you can get the help that you need in the loading as well as unloading of things. When you are going to work on your own, then you should know that there are many things that you must do. You must search for the right vehicle which you may rent and you also need to look for people who will also be able to help you in loading the stuff as well as unloading these things too. When you would get the services of the movers, the job would be done for you since the company will have their vehicle to provide for your things and there are also a team of people who will pack, load and unload your things which makes things very convenient for you.

Two Egyptian prisoners have died as a result of torture suffered in custody in Cairo, a human rights group has said.
The Association for Human Rights Legal Aid (AHRLA) said the body of 31-year-old Muhammad al-Sayyed was retrieved from a hospital a week after he and his younger brother were arrested on 14 September.
Sayyed's body was covered in "bruises, his skull was fractured and his nails pulled out", the association said on Tuesday.
However, his brother was released unharmed.
Gangrene death
In a separate incident, AHRLA said Ahmad Muhammad Omar was locked in a cold-storage room for 23 days by a police officer, and he was later injected with "contaminated substances".
The group said he later died in hospital from gangrene.
Egyptian officials could not immediately confirm the deaths, but under Egyptian law, people found guilty of torture face up to 15 years in prison.
Associations in Egypt and international rights groups regularly denounce cases of torture and mistreatment in Egypt's prisons and police stations.
Human rights
In human rights report on Egypt last year Amnesty International blasted the Egyptian government.
Thousands of suspected supporters of banned Islamist groups remained in detention without charge or trial, Amnesty said.
Others were serving sentences imposed after grossly unfair trials before military courts.
And torture and ill-treatment of detainees continued to be systematic.

Police say two children called 911 after their mother was shot in the head by her ex-husband during a domestic argument that escalated to violence. Around 6 p.m., Wednesday, Mobile County Sheriff's deputies responded to a shooting on Clairmont Drive in Semmes.
According to police, 47-year-old Victor Barnes was engaged in a verbal argument with his ex-wife, Lakesha Barnes, in the backyard of a home in Semmes when she attempted to go back inside the house. That's police say Barnes opened fire with a 12-gauge shotgun, striking Lakesha in the head.According to witness statements, Barnes then went around to the front of the house and fired several shots at the front door before leaving the scene. Lori Myles, the sheriff's assistant for public affairs, said it was the children — ages 14 and 10 — who alerted police.
Later the same day, U.S. Marshals and MCSO deputies located and arrested Barnes on East Gulf Terra Drive. Myles said he had fled to Mississippi and abandoned his vehicle but was said to be returning to Mobile when arrested.
Barnes has been charged with attempted murder for the shooting but was also charged on a separate outstanding warrant for third-degree domestic violence — the sixth time the charge appears in his criminal record with the Mobile Metro Jail.
As of 4 p.m. Thursday, Lakesha Barnes was still listed in "critical condition" at a local hospital.

Coming in February 2008 is Only Uni, Book #2 in Camy Tang's Sushi series. Book #1, Sushi For One, releases very shortly.
Flirty biologist Trish Sakai has alienated her best friends and her family because of her wild behavior with her artist ex-boyfriend, Kazuo. Then she finds her father kissing another woman, and her mom suffers a heart attack. Convinced God is punishing her for her sexual promiscuity, Trish comes up with three rules from First and Second Corinthians: 1) Stop looking at guys, 2) Only date Christians, and 3) Persevere in hardship by relying on God. If she follows them, God will restore her life to the way it was before her mistakes. If she can somehow regain her chastity, she won't feel as dirty and unworthy as she does now. They're only three rules. How hard can it be?

then again, maybe notPosted: August 23, 2012 Filed under: Food and Drink 2 Comments
I've been reading about Community Supported Agriculture for quite some time. That is where you sign up to get a box of locally grown, usually organic, produce on a regular schedule. Terry and I have often thought about subscribing to a program. But we've found either that a given program does not serve our area, or the pickup times or locations do not fit well with our schedule.
One risk, though, is that the selection is naturally set depending on what is available and in season, and there is always the possibility of this.
2 Comments on "then again, maybe not"
Having subscribed to such a program, I have to say, the cartoon is right on and brought me a good chuckle.
As Marie Antoinette never said, "Let's all eat zucchini…."
My big tomato plants have been slow to deliver, but the two cherries (Sweet 100 and Yellow Pear) are delivering tons. And the reliable heirloom, Stupice for the third year in a row is the big hit: started pumping out ping-pong ball sized red-orange succulent tomatoes while the cherries were still deciding if they were going to grow, and now looks like a Christmas tree with a double dose of ornaments, Mmmmmmmmmmm.
Either freeze or can the excess as-is or pre-prepared as a subassembly of a future recipe (though I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that with caramelized onions, this year's in-everything ingredient — Cooking Illustrated's "easy recipe" — throw sliced onions, in a big pot, toss with butter and/or oil (I use a blend), sugar and salt and bake, covered, at 350 for an hour, stirring occasionally — works well, almost as good as the attention-demanding original). Or donate the excess to the local food bank…

Researchers have found that when media portray a shooting victim in a negative way, it not only leads people to blame the victim for their own death, but also leads people to sympathize with the shooter.
Participants in the study were given a written account of a fatal shooting of an unarmed man. Some victims were portrayed in negative terms, often associated with black male stereotypes. Specifically, the victim was described as being quick-tempered, a high school dropout who had been raised by his grandmother in a housing project, and he was also frequently in trouble with the law.
After reading the negative portrayal about the victim of the fatal shooting, study participants preferred lighter sentences for the shooter. The "blame-the-victim" effect occurred regardless of whether the shooting victim was white or black, study co-author Sarah Gaither, an assistant professor of psychology at Duke, said, saying in a statement:
"Reading negative information about the shooting victim not only affected attitudes about the victim, it also altered attitudes about the shooter."
However, it was also found that when other study participants were given positive information about the victim, the opposite was true. In this part of the study, the victim was defined as a college student who grew up in a middle-class suburb with a banker and English professor as parents.
Again, some of the "good" victims were designated as black and some as white. After reading positive material about the shooting victim, the participants were more likely to recommend that the shooter be charged with first-degree or second-degree murder.
However, when the victim was described in negative ways, the participants were more likely to view the homicide as justified, recommending a lighter sentence for the shooter. The results indicate that it makes no difference whether the shooting victim was black or white.
Surprisingly, respondents did recommended harsher sentences when the victim and the perpetrator were of different races (when a white man shot a black man or a black man shot a white man). Gaither explains that:
"These results highlight the powerful impact that the media can have in reporting shooting incidents."
The study, which was published in the December issue of the Journal of Social Issues, shows that news reports about a shooting victim's biography can and most likely do shape public opinion about a shooter. This also shows that media reports have the potential to affect whether a suspect gets a fair trial, the authors suggest.

1) When you use a charge, you are immune to movement imparing effects for 3s after you reach the target location, and the entire time during the charge. So that when you charge, you dont get rooted mid air, or as soon as you land and you actually get to melee for a few seconds.
2) Change GTH and Phantom blades to, for the next 4s (30s CD), your abilities have a 20m range and reduce your damage done by 50%. So now you have disconnect. Also make tempest winds melee range.
3) If you want a ranged spec to have multitudes of CC, make it an immobile ranged spec. Bad Example? Marksman. Fully mobile, good damage, great utility, and most of the time actually faster then most ranged souls.
Good Example? Vulcanist. All it has is a root and a teleport. And you lose 75% damage if you dont stand within 20m of the enemy channelling 3s channels every 5s. Can it still blow people up from ranged? Yeah. But if anyone looks at you or chases you in melee, theres nothing you can do other then root and teleport, that's it.
When a ranged soul moves, its DPS needs to be cut in half. Or in Pyro's case, have 1-3 instants that it saves which it can use (Searing bolt, countdown, flame bolt etc). Which you CANT spam so eventually have to stop and cast, to do DPS at ranged.
Will ranged DPS still be able to blow people up? Yeah, just do it before melee gets in your face. Because as it stands now, rangeagon with a 90% uptime on a 20m range as a melee soul is just silly. And harbinger is equally silly with 50% uptime on 30m range and a very large portion of its abilities being 35m range.
Melee is melee, ranged is not a ranged melee.

Ram Horn Shofar with Oil Painted Lion of Judah Set in Dark Blue
Brand: Shofars
This impressive Shofar catches the eye with its golden decorations of Jerusalem set in sterling silver. Lions are a symbol of Jerusalem and also symbolize the tribe of Judah. Placed on this shofar, they offer an impressive feel. This Shofar is made from an authentic ram horn and was polished by hand. Shofars play an important part in Judaism as they are used for services during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. This unique Shofar makes a memorable gift for the Jewish holidays and is especially fitting for those who hold a special place in their heart for the Holy City. This can be used as an anointing shofar whereby the small end, which can be closed, stores the anointing oil. This Ram Horn Shofar comes from Israel and was certified Kosher by the Israeli Rabbinate after being tested and checked. Please note that the size is measured around the outer edge of the bend in the Shofar.

A very important life principle for us is about our influence on the environment, a problem that we are trying to solve through several solutions and we want to improve in the future as much as we can.
The electricity
Since 2010 we have built a 2.3 kwp photovoltaic plant and we use directly from ¼ to 1/3 of the electric energy that produces. The rest of it we buy from a company called Dolomiti Energia which certifies it as 100% coming from renewable fonts. We also are partner of the co-operative Retenergie. We reduced our power consumption by the use of new neon bulbs and "stand by" self-switch-off gadgets and trying to avoid energy waste.
The water
We built a system for gathering and re-using the rainwater coming from the roofs: it's about 20 square meters of water that we use for toilette flushing, washing machine and garden watering. For saving water we mounted flow-breaker on every tap. In summer we also used to recover washing vegetables water and use it to irrigate potted plants, while often recover washing hairs water assigning it to the toilette flushing. For drinking water we are connected to the public water pipe. Finally, we have included at the system's beginning a Grander revitalizer.
The heating
To heat the whole house, from the beginning of 2014 we use a wood-burning boiler stove, which also allows us to prepare food and to heat the domestic hot water; if necessary, the system is integrated with a condensing boiler fueled by LPG. The wood comes from our tree trimming and from some friends garden keepers. All windows have double-glasses. Luckily we are in an area protected from northern winds, so we never have very low temperature…
The self-production
A principle which we believe is of self producing, which allows us to control and increase the quality of what we use and pollute less.We grow ourselves a great part of fruits and vegetables we eat, we produce our own olive oil, we make the soaps and detergents we use, toothpaste and shaving foam. In the rare cases we need them, we prepare erbolistic medicines instead of using the industrial pharmacy ones.
The food
We already said we produce a great part of our food, the rest comes from local producers and we buy them as part of a buyers group. We cater for herbalist's shop more difficult products to find and few things come from the supermarket, but everything is absolutely organic and biodinamic.
The waste
First we try to produce a small quantity of waste. So when we buy food or things we choose to bring our contenars and we choose products with simple packing, possibly recyclable. Of course we do differencial gathering of waste (paper, glass, metal, plastic) while the organic waste goes to our garden compost.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Utah State University and the Utah Water Research Laboratory. My research is at the intersection of physical hydrology and water management, with a focus on more efficiently allocating scarce freshwater resources for humans and ecosystems under increasing stressors. My research group performs applied, interdisciplinary investigations to advance understanding of coupled human - natural river systems using a combination of field measurement and modeling (physically-based, water planning, statistical, geospatial, etc). I also lead several efforts to integrate emerging research and technical tools to guide coordinated instream water management in the western U.S. from the stream reach to the state scale.
2 new MS students join the WET lab!
The WETlab welcomes new grad students Haley Canham & Daniel Thurber!
Check out the 5 new papers our lab has published in 2020!
Geomorphic characterization of California rivers
We are characterizing dominant regional geomorphic settings of rivers throughout California through extensive field data collection, multivariate analysis, and physical interpretation. Watch the video to see the field campaign in action, featuring our lab dog Melipal.
Synthetic river corridor archetypes
Synthetic digital terrain models enable rapid, resource efficient evaluation of alternative channel designs in a hydraulic modeling framework to support multi-scale river management efforts.
Promoting instream flows in Western states
There is increasing interest to protect and enhance instream flows to support ecosystems and recreation in the Western US, but rivers are already heavily allocated for agriculture, municipal, hydropower and other water uses. We suggest key technical and legislative opportunities to overcome 'use it or lose it' western water law and mentality to promote instream flows in Utah.
Natural stream classification
Distinct hydrologic regimes characterized by different flow sources and physical catchment controls support distinct river ecosystem functions. Classification can inform and organize environmental water management efforts, and help set flow criteria to better balance human and ecological water needs.

The situation that saw the Hardy Boyz leaving TNA Impact Wrestling and returning to WWE is something that was filled with legal issues, trademarks, and the Young Bucks. Matt and Jeff Hardy had a great thing going in TNA with their "Broken" gimmick and the "Expedition of Gold," which saw them move around to different promotions. Well, the situation with their former company didn't sit well with the Young Bucks and left the team disappointed.
As the Hardys continued to move around in their quest for tag team gold, they were still under contract with Impact Wrestling. Near the end of February, the promotion didn't end up working well with the brothers on a contract extension, and it led to them parting ways.
At the time of their departure from TNA, the Hardy Boyz were the Tag Team Champions of that promotion and also in possession of the Ring of Honor Tag Team Titles. The TNA Tag Titles ended up just being dropped, but at ROH's SuperCard of Honor XI, the tag titles were on the line against the Young Bucks in what ended up being an epic ladder match.
I've just watched The Hardy's vs Young Bucks match from Supercard of Honor. Incredible match, I thoroughly recommend you check it out! pic.twitter.com/mUMiijrChK
— SK WWE Coverage (@SuperkickWC) April 4, 2017
That match ended up being quite fantastic, and some are saying that it could be considered one of the best ladder matches of all time. The Young Bucks recently spoke with Sports Illustrated regarding a number of topics, but their match with the Hardy Boyz was the focus. Nick Jackson built themselves up and sold the Bucks as the better team.
"We are better than any other team in the world. We are bigger than tag team wrestling. We are The Young Bucks. We're our own brand and our own genre. We've become larger than any active team, and we did it all on our own–without the help of a billion dollar wrestling company. No one is bigger or better than the machine, but we are definitely the best tag team of the last decade. I say that with confidence because our body of work does the talking. The four of us all climbed ladders and actually brainstormed ideas. We all kind of came up with it while standing 10 feet high."
Despite having such an incredible match at SuperCard of Honor XI, Nick Jackson was not thrilled that their ultimate payoff happened when it did. Apparently, TNA and Ring of Honor were planning on letting this multi-promotional feud go on for a few more months.
"I was very upset. This feud was supposed to go on until possibly June and they pretty much screwed up their whole deal with the Hardys, which is why we had to jump start the whole angle."
Matt Jackson let it be known that he was just very disappointed in the way that Impact Wrestling treated the entire situation.
"We were definitely disappointed they tried to do that. We took it very personal because not only were they taking aim at our good friends, but it was also affecting our segments. It ended up being fine, because we worked around it, but it was definitely agitating."
The Young Bucks went on to claim that they are the "best tag team of the last decade," and they feel confident in saying that. Everything going on between them and the Hardy Boyz was phenomenal, and it was made even better by them being in different promotions.
When TNA Impact Wrestling struck deals with multiple promotions and allowed for the Hardy Boyz to travel around on their "Expedition of Gold," it made their whole "Broken" storyline even better. It seems as if the situation with Ring of Honor and the Young Bucks was going to continue on for quite some time, but TNA wasn't willing to compromise. From there, the Bucks won the ROH Tag Team Titles, the Hardy Boyz returned to WWE, and TNA has been left out of the loop.

Title: Electrical probing of COVID-19 spike protein receptor binding domain via a graphene field-effect transistor
(Submitted on 27 Mar 2020)
Abstract: Here, in an effort towards facile and fast screening/diagnosis of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), we combined the unprecedently sensitive graphene field-effect transistor (Gr-FET) with highly selective antibody-antigen interaction to develop a coronavirus immunosensor. The Gr-FET immunosensors can rapidly identify (about 2 mins) and accurately capture the COVID-19 spike protein S1 (which contains a receptor binding domain, RBD) at a limit of detection down to 0.2 pM, in a real-time and label-free manner. Further results ensure that the Gr-FET immunosensors can be promisingly applied to screen for high-affinity antibodies (with binding constant up to 2*10^11 M^-1 against the RBD) at concentrations down to 0.1 pM. Thus, our developed electrical Gr-FET immunosensors provide an appealing alternative to address the early screening/diagnosis as well as the analysis and rational design of neutralizing-antibody locking methods of this ongoing public health crisis.

Directed by Bertrand Blier
120 minutes
In French with English subtitles
This is a daring, sensitive and hugely controversial film by Bertrand Blier (Buffet Froid, Les Valseuses) which pushes the limits of romance and sexuality. When his wife is killed in a car crash, Remy (the magnificent cult actor Patrick Dewaere), a burnt out jazz pianist, is forced to take care of his 14-year-old stepdaughter (Ariel Besse) who, unknown to him, has fallen in love with him.
What follows is an haunting tale of two people as they grapple with all the issues which come with their unusual and taboo desires. Remi and Marion are not so much connected by their sexual attraction, but by the fact that they've both been abandoned by people they love. There's no real question about where the affair is going, but the tragedy lies in who gets hurt the most. The final image of the movie may haunt you forever (it has many).
The French writer Marguerite Duras was a person who saw beauty in so-called "abnormal" love relationships, and she prized them far more than socially approved relations (you can see this theme return in many of her books). She saw them as more intimate and more real simply because they didn't follow all the rules. Rather than being a film about incest, or pedophilia, this is a film about loneliness, and atypical romantic relationships….and the danger of going against society's laws. Its another film that could never possibly be made today, and which avoids the tiresome moralizing so often accompanying American films of the same subject (American Beauty) and Beau Pere is a film which has barely ever been screened outside of its home country.
So, once again, an extremely rare screening of this melancholic, volatile film.
"A gorgeously photographed tale of forbidden passion. Boasting a superb lead performance by Patrick Dewaere as a young Frenchman battling to stifle the seductive advances of his beautiful step-daughter, it is grounded by fascinating character detail and an intelligent, focused script that is deeply interested in the complexities of love and desire. Ariel Besse is the step-daughter and she is a bubbling, nubile cauldron of curiosity and mischief. Sacha Vierny's moody photography is worthy of a coffee table hardcover, and Philip Sarde's score is near perfection."

Developing new therapies for disease is a big business, but what about diseases that affect patients who can't pay for treatments? Because companies need to be able to recoup the cost of drug development, diseases that predominantly affect the poor -- like malaria and tuberculosis -- haven't received the same attention from investors as drugs for cancers or heart disease, where a high-paying market is guaranteed.
The Global Health Innovative Technology (GHIT) Fund was created in Tokyo to fund drug development for infectious diseases not considered to have a viable market. The GHIT Fund says it views global health as an investment with tangible returns; yet it treats its R&D grants as an investment without a financial return.
Medidata spoke with BT Slingsby, the chief executive officer of GHIT, in Tokyo about the organization's effort to spur R&D for the world's neglected diseases.
Today, it's more important than ever that we look at the discovery and development of anti-infectives for viruses like HIV/AIDS and Dengue, bacteria like tuberculosis, and parasites like malaria and schistosomiasis. In the last 10-15 years, the number of anti-infectives launched has plummeted, because frankly it's not a profitable business. Even though anti-infectives are needed for these diseases, which have already infected over a billion people and directly threaten almost half of the world's population,the market model for pharma to produce new drugs is broken.
The only solution is through public-private partnerships, which bring the best innovation and experience to bear on the innovation process without burdening one organization or sector with the entire cost and risk. We're a specific public-private partnership that was set up between the Japanese government, Japanese big pharma, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to drive forward the discovery and development of new medicines, vaccines and diagnostics for infectious diseases in the developing world.
Based on our funding and business model, this is the first organization of its kind in the world.
And why is this model needed? Pharma companies fund development and there are several venture capital funds.
GHIT is a not-for-profit model trying to lower risk significantly by investing in R&D. We handle the investing – not the pharma, biotech, research organization or university partner. By reducing that investment burden, we are reducing the risk of advancing R&D for anti-infectives. That's really our role here.
So what's the difference between GHIT and an organization like the Gates Foundation?
We are a public-private partnership with companies on our Council which invest in GHIT equally as much as that of the Foundation. These companies include the leaders of Japanese pharma: Astellas, Chugai, Daiichi Sankyo, Eisai, Shionogi and Takeda. That's a powerful statement to the rest of industry in Japan, because these top six are putting cash into this, proactively advancing R&D for anti-infectives. With the addition of investments from the Japanese Government and Gates Foundation, this is an ideal platform for encouraging other companies and institutions to join forces.
What takeaways from your model can be applied to other organizations?
We're driving open innovation, a model of R&D whereby products are developed by multiple parties working in collaboration. Every one of our investments is an international partnership, which means products are not developed in a silo. These partnerships often cross sectors between public and private, across companies and across organizations. In that sense, we are bringing open innovation to the table for many of these institutions for the first time.
At the same time, the transparency of our governance model enables both companies and the government to put skin in the product development game, while being entirely hands off in terms of decision-making by ensuring that no conflicts of interest exist in the investment and portfolio review process.
What are the unique challenges to infectious disease R&D?
To eliminate an infectious disease, it's necessary to eliminate its transmission. That means researchers are not only developing products for therapeutic use, but also for preventative use. This goes beyond vaccines. The other key challenge is the development of new molecular and chemical entities.
In global health campaigns, drug administration programs are used to provide medicines on a massive scale to sub-populations where a parasite, bacterium or virus is endemic. Doing so creates what's called in epidemiology, "herd immunity." If you create immunity for that sub-population for a certain amount of time, you inherently block transmission. If you block transmission, it blocks the life cycle for that parasite. Only after achieving that blocked life cycle can you eliminate that disease from an area. Some of our projects are being developed for that specific use.
This type of drug administration program is different compared to developing a product specifically for clinical therapy – meaning that once the patient becomes infected and presents symptoms, the drug is provided to the patient. Developing a transmission-blocking medicine is not always as simple as it seems.
The parasites, bacteria and viruses that we are dealing with have been around for thousands of years. These organisms are extraordinarily robust, so it takes a great deal of innovation to create new chemical entities and new mechanisms of action that can be used for therapy, as well as for the elimination of these diseases.
Another challenge is new chemical or molecular entities. Across the pharma industry over the past two decades, there really hasn't been an increase in productivity for new chemical entities. In fact, productivity has somewhat plateaued, and it's not a terribly high plateau. Investing in new molecular entities is often considered to be a high-risk R&D investment, because the probability of success is significantly lower than a me-too drug (a drug that is structurally similar to already known drugs, with only minor differences).
Fewer and fewer pharmaceutical companies are investing in new chemical entities. We, on the other hand, are proactively investing in new chemical entities precisely because we understand that the private sector can't do it alone. The majority of the drugs in our investment portfolio are new chemical entities.
How do you expect the life sciences industry to change in the next few years? What's driving that change?
I think we will see key shifts around R&D productivity, the regulatory science for new innovation and market pressures, in terms of what buyers are willing to pay for. Those three factors comprise the pressures on life sciences right now. In terms of big pharma and biotech, their responses to these three factors will mark significant turning points. For some companies, the road ahead looks very ominous, but for others, they may represent a paradigm shift to global success.
Let's break those three factors down further; R&D productivity?
R&D productively is often measured using a ratio between amount invested per successfully launched product. To increase this ratio, you can either try to invest less money per product, or reduce your investments overall by making smarter decisions about which products to bring forward.
The cost of a new drug can span from $350 million to $5.5 billion. The $350 million is for biotech and $5.5 billion is for large pharma that invest tons of money into hundreds of compounds.
For example, mega-pharma Johnson & Johnson has a huge and diverse portfolio and invests in hundreds of molecules. A lot of those molecules fail. The $5.5 billion estimates comes from the amount that is invested in compounds that fail along with those that are approved. By contrast, a biotech that has one successful compound may spend $350 million, but that doesn't take into account the other 15 biotechs that failed on similar compounds.
It's expensive whichever path you take. In our case, we are working through partnerships for products that are more or less humanitarian products. We're able to bring the cost down by working with partners and CROs that are more flexible with their contracts.
We also help drive efficiency for our large pharma partners because we typically pay for some of their researchers and scientists to devote time to our projects. We're using their equipment and labs as in-kind donations. We benefit, and in their case they are contributing something that has already been invested for other products. That's an example of the efficiency we're gaining in our business model.
And for the second industry driver, how will the regulatory environment impact R&D?
FDA, EMA, Japan's PMDA and other regulatory agencies are most definitely in the driver's seat in terms of trying to advance as much innovation as possible. We are facing two major challenges. The first is that science is advancing at a high velocity; it's not often the case that our ability to evaluate science is advancing at the same rate. I would like to see more collaboration between developers and regulators to find better ways to evaluate new science. I don't see developers working with regulators as a conflict of interest. It's absolutely necessary.
The other is that enormous investment is still necessary in order to generate the data needed to assess safety and efficacy for a new drug or device. Without a means to assess safety and efficacy of a new innovation with a more cost-effective approach, we – patients, states, industry and our society – are thrust into a continuous, vicious cycle of innovation costs versus equity of access to such innovation.
And how can payers drive new innovation?
The payers are in a tough position. There's a balance between equity and innovation. On one side, you want to advance as much innovation as possible. To do that, you have to pay for new innovation such that the private industry is able to have a return on their investment. Put a price on new products that creates incentives for even more innovative drugs.
On the other hand, we need to have equity, which means trying to provide as much health care to as many people as possible. In that context, you have to make a decision between how much new innovation you want versus how much of your funding goes into ensuring equity for a large population.
Payers need to look at the sustainability of their investments.. Unless we increase our debt levels, the current global healthcare model is not going to be sustainable.
It's a complex story between equity versus innovation, but both of them are absolutely needed. Without innovation, disease – and particularly infectious disease – is going to catch up to us. We need new innovations and need to find a means to develop them with less dollars and without having to compromise on safety or efficacy.
How the life sciences deal with these three pressures – R&D productivity, the ability for regulatory science to cost-effectively assess safety and efficacy, and the balance between innovation and equity – will determine success versus failure. It's a very exciting time, but it's a very dynamic and risky time as well.

Waisman/FilmMagic/Getty Images The singer also sasses the Southwest Airlines flight attendant who repeatedly requested his cooperation. Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight Thursday night for wearing sagging pants and back-talking a flight attendant. Armstrong and a companion were on their way to Burbank, Calif. from Oakland, Calif. when the incident occurred. Passengers were preparing for departure when a flight attendant approached the musician -- who was waiting to put his bag in an overhead compartment -- and asked him to pull his pants up, according to an ABC news producer who was on the flight. Armstrong responded, "Don't you have better things to do than worry about that?" The flight attendant then repeated the request and threatened to have Armstrong taken off the plane if he didn't comply. He was removed from the flight after answering, "I'm just trying to get to my f**king seat." The singer tweeted after from the airport, "Just got kicked off a southwest flight because my pants sagged too low! What the f**k? No joke!" He took the next available flight to L.A. Southwest said in a statement, "As soon as we became aware of what had happened, we reached out to apologize for this Customer's experience. He elected to take the next flight. We followed up with this Customer and involved Employees to get more details and, in our latest conversations, understand from the Customer the situation was resolved to his satisfaction." PHOTOS: Kevin Smith's Wildest Rants Armstrong isn't the first famous person to have a run-in with Southwest: In 2010, Red State director Kevin Smith was booted from an Oakland to Burbank flight for being too fat. He responded with a series of angry tweets: "Oakland Southwest attendant Suzanne (wouldn't give last name) told me Captain Leysath deemed me a "safety risk". Again: I'm way fat... But I'm not THERE just yet. But if I am, why wait til my bag is up, and I'm seated WITH ARM RESTS DOWN." "I was wrongly ejected from the flight (even Suzanne eventually agreed). And f--- your apologetic $100 voucher, @SouthwestAir. Thank God I don't embarrass easily (bless you, JERSEY GIRL training). But I don't sulk off either: so everyday, some new f----you Tweets for @SouthwestAir." "The @SouthwestAir Diet. How it works: you're publicly shamed into a slimmer figure. Crying the weight right off has never been easier!" Smith shed 65 pounds a year after the incident. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Sofia M. Fernandez email@example.com @thr

If someone called your family and said that you are arrested at the police station and didn't say why, what would your family think you did?
Hmmm, Something related to driving, even though I hate driving and I am careful while driving. But I do lose my temper easily when I see someone jeopardizing someone's life, or when I see an old person being nasty to a younger one or animals, I stop and have a go at them.
What would you do if someone came to you and went like "oh hello I love you and your show I never miss any" then went off by saying another person name and a show that was never yours?
I would love turning it into a joke, in a nice way.
You sure had been to tons of weddings here in Egypt, what do you do at that awkward moment when the video camera guy focus on you? some people wave, smile or pretend to be talking to the person sitting next to them, what do you do?
I don't attend a lot of weddings, but usually, I send a kiss or love sign or wish them a good life.
What is the dumbest way you were injured?
I am careful. too careful thank god, I hurt my toes wearing heels, that's the major one.
Who is the messiest person you know?
I wouldn't know him, he will be shot by then. I am OCD, I tidy up like a maniac. Super organized with yellow post-it everywhere.
I know where I put things as long as no one mess with it, I hate mess and dirt. Its a way of thinking, a lifestyle, to be organized in your brain, punctual, sleep less and eat less, Forward planning. It is not a gift all people have
You plan for the future?
I do, OMG, for the next 20 years.
Were you ever talking to yourself and realized you were actually speaking out loud and everyone heard you?
Yes, all the time. I need to mute my brain and mouth sometimes.
You are a Leo, I think it is genetic. its like revenge for a Scorpio
I like Scorpios, they are the best and beat the rest.
There is Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and so on. What is the one holiday you would like to add?
No phone or technology holiday, They already have a day for everything. smile day, happy day, hug day, and I really hate the tech world.
What is the dream you have always had and didn't yet achieve, but you still didn't give up on?
To be in a musical, I love them and specially Khali Balak men zozo
Finally, you did agree to do this interview knowing it was made by someone who is new, and for that, I would always be thankful for you.
What would you say to someone who is too afraid to take a step in changing his/her life path simply because they think it is too late?
Go get it, Try and fail and stand up again, at least you did try. Its never too late until you pass to the next life.
Thank you very much Razan fir your patience, time and support,, wishing you the best of luck.
Thank you dear

1. What younger me would like about present meThey say that experience changes a person. 2014 has definitely changed me(like every other year). It was filled with so many happenings, good and bad. There were times when all I wanted to do was be cooped up in my bedroom, isolated from the outside world. However, there were those days that kept me going. Those were the days I'd be forever grateful for.
That's what I really like about the present me. "Count your blessings, not your neighbors'." I used to be this kind of person who was never satisfied with what I had. I always wanted more. I wanted to be better than everybody. I could have, would have, should have. My world revolved mostly around those three phrases. It was tiring to be like that all the time. Never satisfied. It was like a hunger that couldn't be quenched. As long as I could still go on, what I have now is never enough. That was my mentality. Surprisingly, I didn't realize that until I said something to a friend of mine. It made me sound like an ungrateful biatch. Sigh.
2. The watched/read it listI can't really list everything down here. You can check out some of the books I've read by clicking 'Angelica's Quotes' that will direct you to my Goodreads profile instead hehe. As for movies, I don't really keep track. Teehee!
3. The mistake(s) I never want to make1. I never ever want to betray anybody's trust.
2. Never ever fall for the wrong guy again(Haha! I don't think this is plausible because like you, I'm human too. This list does not guarantee that I'll be living a Saint's life).
3. Never ever waste my time on people/things/situations that doesn't make me happy.
4. Never ever want to eat shrimp, it gives me mild allergy. Ugh.
5. Regret. Every action I take is done for a reason. It may sound irrational a few years down the road, but at least I wouldn't be left thinking that I should have done it a few years back. I wouldn't be left with regret because I was too scared to give it a try.
4. My ideal outfitI've been told that my fashion sense is good haha. Okay, then I guess I don't have to make much changes. I'll stick with my casual and fashionable way :)
5. A deep, dark secretWanna know my secret? Highlight the space below ;)
AHA! Gotcha! Just ask me personally if you wanna know haha!
6. The most unexpected compliment(s) you ever gotI actually couldn't wait to write this one down. So much for being humble, Angel. Haha! There was this one time when I was trying on clothes in front of my sis. Out of the blue, she complimented my collar bone. That was so unexpected of her because she usually doesn't give me compliments and that is a weird thing to say.
7. That one quote*Quickly flips through pages of quotes* This one quote has been giving me courage ever since 5ever, especially at my lowest.
Everything happens for a reason.
8. The best surprise I've ever hadSurprise me :)
9. Your true happinessLies within myself. Really! One's happiness shouldn't be dependent on a person or materialistic pleasures. They can easily come and go. What'd be left of you once they're gone?
10. My favorite failure(s)My favorite failure? The dumbest mistake I've done on the last year of my secondary school life, which was not so long ago.
It's a pretty long and embarrassing story BUT without that dumb mistake happening, I don't think I'll be where I am today :)

Nordstrom Leases Remaining Empty Space from the Seattle Art Museum
At the end of 2008, you might recall that the Seattle Art Museum was one of the first large institutions to have the rug pulled out from under it because of the economic collapse. With Washington Mutual now dead, the museum's largest renter in its still-new building left them roughly $60 million in the lurch. Fortunately, the museum was saved in their time of need by retailer Nordstrom, who stepped in to take on a lease for a large chunk of that vacant space. However, even with this temporary saving grace, this past year still remained tough for the museum, with news of layoffs, temporary closures, pay reductions and asking to borrow money from its own endowment to help pay bills. Now, once again, Nordstrom has come in to lend a hand (though we're sure the combination of the sales, tax breaks and good press are certainly a motivating factor as well). The company has signed a lease for the remainder of the space once occupied by the now-defunct bank. The Seattle Times reports that the deal was actually made back in November, but has only been made public now. Here are some details:
Nordstrom agreed in November to lease the remaining two floors, about 58,000 square feet. That will reduce the amount that must be borrowed from the endowment fund to about $7 million, museum spokeswoman Cara Egan said.
…In addition to the SAM space, [Seattle developer Matt Griffin] said, Nordstrom also agreed in November to lease an additional 18,000 square feet in the former WaMu Center, where it had previously leased about 83,000 square feet a year ago.

WS CEO Ed Sims
Your clients flying WestJet in the days to come can now rest easy with the threat of a pilot strike averted. And the union representing pilots has won an important concession -- WS has agreed to let union-represented pilots fly all of its planes, including Swoop.
The Calgary-based airline and the Air Line Pilots Association agreed to a settlement process through the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The two sides have agreed to mediation, and if a deal can't be reached that way, final and binding arbitration will be imposed.
"I think the most important news tonight is that the threat of strike action has been removed for WestJet guests. WestJet guests can now continue to book and travel in absolute confidence around their trip," said WestJet CEO Ed Sims during a press conference at YYC on Friday evening.
More than 90% of WS pilots voted in favour of a strike mandate early this month. They were legally eligible to walk out on 19MAY, but the pilots committed not to disrupt travel plans for pax over the Victoria Day long weekend.
Still, operating under a strike threat was financially damaging to the airline. Sims said the losses can be counted in the "tens of millions of dollars," which doesn't include the effect on the airline's share value.
WS and its pilot union have been negotiating a new contract for months. The sticking point for the union was the Calgary-based airlines' latest venture — the ultra-low-cost carrier Swoop. The airline initially planned to partially staff the discount carrier with non-company pilots in order to achieve low fares. The union's position is that only WestJet pilots should fly the airline's fleet, including those of its subsidiaries.
WestJet has now agreed to that condition, but wages and working conditions are yet to be determined. Sims says the issues surrounding Swoop will be part of the terms of the arbitration agreement.
"We would like a settlement reached as soon as possible," Sims said. "I think at our most optimistic, in the next few weeks and ideally no later than the end of June."

Pesticide use fell in 2006 – Crop Protection Association
Less pesticide was sprayed in 2006 than in recent years, according to the Crop Protection Association.
The CPA has announced that there was a drop of 3% in active ingredients applied in 2006, which was down to a 3% decline in the area of land with cereals and increased use of lower-dose products.
Cereals account for over two thirds of pesticide use in arable crops.
In the garden sector, sales were affected by a late spring with lawns slow to grow. The reduction in active ingredients also reflected switching to more modern products, as well as a move towards ready-mixed very dilute products.
Peter Sanguinetti, CPA chief executive, said: "We are fully committed to promoting best practice through the Voluntary Initiative to benefit the environment."

On Demand
"Passport: Beyond the Adventure" - Gary Bachman
The story of my sabbatical: an inconvenience rightly considered: (AKA "Passport: Beyond the Adventure" – A Forty Year Reflective on "At-Risk" Youth & Families in a Therapeutic Wilderness Program.)
An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered. - G.K. Chesterton
"Passport for Adventure" was a therapeutic wilderness program for "pre-delinquent" and "at risk youth" that ran from 1972 through 1993. Early in my social work career I had been a senior guide / counselor in this program. In 2017 I learned that all of the original program files, including initial screening assessments of all participants, as well as of control groups still existed. This created an almost unheard of opportunity to conduct a 40 year follow-up / outcomes study of programs participants.
In the first week of the sabbatical study, a significant "inconvenience" to the completion of this project emerged.
"Using Faculty180 to Submit Your Annual Performance Reivew/Professional Development Plan" - Megan Holder and Emily Sallee
Starting AY 2018-2019, Park began using Faculty180 for full-time faculty annual performance reviews and professional development plans. There will be several learning opportunities during the spring semester to learn more about the new system.The first of these sessions was a Deep Dive hosted by FCI on March 29, 2019.
The session covered:
Please contact email@example.com with any questions on the new system.
"From Line Breaks to Legal Briefs: Engaging Writing Activities for the Quantitative Classroom" - Patrick Bahls, University of North Carolina
Many instructors in the quantitative disciplines struggle to find meaningful ways to engage their students with discipline-specific writing. In fields traditionally dominated by numerical information, writing, at least as it's long been construed, has often taken a second seat. However, every discipline, no matter how number-heavy, has its own writing conventions, and with a few aptly chosen exercises, students can begin to learn those conventions and become skilled writers in their chosen fields.
This presentation will provide instructors with a number of "out-of-the-box" writing activities that are adaptable to a variety of classrooms, including those in quantitative fields. Some of the activities are short, "low-stakes" exercises that students can complete in minutes and others are lengthier, multistage projects that help students develop a deeper understanding of disciplinary writing as a process.
"Managing Work/Life Demands Across the Career Cycle" - Lisa Wolf-Wendel, University of Kansas
Faculty across all stages of the academic career often struggle with how best to manage the increasing work demands placed upon them in relationship to their ever-changing demands in their personal lives. Too often, however, we focus our attention only on pre-tenure women faculty with young children, assuming that this is the only group that needs attention and assistance. Work/life management is important to faculty members across the career span, for both men and women, and for faculty in both tenure and non-tenure positions. This talk examined how a range of faculty, with different identities and in different phases of the career, manage work and life responsibilities. Special attention was paid to how institutions like Park University could facilitate work/life integration through policy and practice.
"The Academic Advising Tools and Advising System of Park University" - Robbie Park and Steve Fenske
This Deep Dive presentation will explore the resources and tools available to you on MyPark, and will also provide a more in-depth explanation of the unique advising system here at the university.
"Helping Students Succeed: What to Do When You're Concerned about a Student" - Amanda Bryant
Amanda Bryant, Coordinator for Student Advocacy, discussed what to do when you are concerned about a student.
Types of concerns that were addressed included, but were not limited to:
• personal issues affecting school (illness, homelessness, family concerns)
• financial concerns (can't afford textbooks, financial aid issues, military benefits)
• academic struggles (academic integrity, disability services)
Participants learned how to respond to these issues and what resources are already in place, including forms Park has for some of the processes. In addition, participants understood why it's important to be "involved" in what's going on in a student's personal life.

In research with humans, human beings are not only researchers, but also the main subjects of research. Such research can be observational or interventional, and can be medical (including biology, physiology, and clinical trials) or non-medical (social science, political science). Because of ethical issues arising from human research, this area is heavily regulated, to protect the rights and dignity of research participants (1).
New drugs and procedures require detailed testing before being put into use. While a lot can be answered using in vitro experiments and animal testing, testing on humans is necessary in order to verify the safety and efficacy of novel treatments.
Throughout history, multiple violations of ethical principles in human research have happened. Most known and most widely publicized are experiments done by Nazis and Japanese during the WW2. In the aftermath of the WW2, the Nuremberg code was published to provide basic guidelines in human research (2). To further improve ethics of human research, the World Medical Association developed the Declaration of Helsinki in 1964 (3). While providing some guidance, they did not eradicate research misconduct. In the United States, a huge study was conducted to assess the impact of syphilis, and hundreds of participants were barred from seeking treatment in what was known as Tuskegee experiment. Following the public outcry, the Belmont report was published in 1978 (4).
These documents set important standards in human research and provide the foundations of medical ethics. Some of the important points are respect for the person, personal autonomy (and informed consent), justice, and beneficence (5). Nowadays, different countries have different laws regarding clinical research, and these are closely related with ethical committees.

On April 13, 2018, we got the call that changed our whole lives. Job and Family Services had an infant and toddler, related to us, that needed a safe place. Without hesitation, we welcomed them into our home.
After some time it became apparent these children needed a permanent safe home. It was the recommendation by my father, Sheriff E. Wayne Riser, that led us to retain Karen DeSanto Kellogg. He assured us there was no one in Ashland County who fought harder for the rights and the well-being of children than Karen.
Throughout the long and emotional process, Karen was not only diligent and professional but also compassionate. Thanks to her extensive knowledge of the law, diligence and unwavering focus on what was best for the children, they now have a safe and forever home with us and we can never thank her enough.
The records clearly show that Karen has long been a fierce advocate for all the children in Ashland County and, on March 17, our family urges you to vote Karen DeSanto Kellogg for Juvenile and Probate Court judge.

Designs by Erté: Fashion Drawings and Illustrations from "Harper's Bazar"
The Russian-born, Paris-based artist Erté (Romain de Tirtoff) is best known for his incomparably styled fashion and theater designs of the 1910s and 1920s. From 1915 to 1936 Erté was associated with Harper's Bazar, furnishing readers with fashion designs, cover art, and word-pictures of the European fashion scenes. This book is a selection of Erté's remarkable work for Harper's Bazar, including 310 of his line drawings and 8 full-color images as well as selections from his letters for the magazine. Of these drawings, 12 have been reproduced directly from the original pen drawings at original size for this edition.In the illustrations, Erté shows gowns, coats, pajamas, hats, and accessories of all sorts and for each season. Tassels, fur muffs, capes, hair stylings, and other extravagant flourishes are second nature to Erté in these designs. The drawings themselves are striking evocations of the "temptress" type of feminine allure, and are works of art in their own right whose exotic styles are inseparable from the style of the fashions they depict. The original Harper's captions have been reprinted with each illustration.This selection from Erté's work has been made by Stella Blum, Curator of the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute, who has chosen the illustrations both for their interest as art and for their importance in the development of fashion. Copies of Harper's Bazar from the years of Erté's great work are very hard to find today, and students of fashion, fashion illustration, and others interested in Erté will find this a most welcome collection.

Usually, a groom gets royally stitched up by his mates on his stag-do.
He might expect to be handcuffed to a lamp post or made to wear degrading fancy dress for a day but usually, the fun and games end when it comes to the actual wedding day.
But not for this poor embarrassed bloke who was filmed having sex with his new wife by his overly nosy pals.
In an X-rated clip – believed to have been filmed in China – the couple is filmed lying naked together on a bed at the exact moment a group of men burst into the room.
Hoping to consummate their marriage in peace, the lovers are seen busy getting down to business, when they are rudely interrupted.
As soon as the men see the pair they begin hysterically laughing.
But the fun doesn't end there, as the lads start slapping their mate on the bum to give him some encouragement.
There is nothing the poor bloke can do, having been cut off mid-performance.
Luckily the red-faced bride and groom can see the funny side and join in with the giggling men.
They desperately try to cover themselves with their duvet while the group makes it as difficult as possible for them.
The clip was originally posted to Chinese social media site Miaopai but has been viewed thousands of times online after it was uploaded to video-sharing site LiveLeak.
But the couple is not alone in being discovered at a very inappropriate moment.
An unsuspecting hiker was given the shock of a lifetime when he stumbled upon two lovers in the middle of a steamy sex session in the woods.
And earlier this month, footage resurfaced of a Belgian town mayor having sex atop a castle in Spain.
