So, I missed my big Cape Cod lanterns in the Old Homestead's living room. Needed to rectify that with a LakeHouse version. Perfect! I hope you like.
Also, we had a few plant casualties while away for a month. Thought to fire the help, but we love Bri too much. And he's proficient in other areas of home guardianship. Instead, Joe hit Lowe's and surprised me with the motherlode of greenery. Gorgeous stuff, including the first orchid to grace our new digs. And it's not even Valentine's Day quite yet.

While in China , an American man is very sexually promiscuous and does not use a condom all the time. A week after arriving back home in the States, he wakes one morning to find his penis covered with purple spots.. Horrified, he immediately goes to see a doctor.
The doctor, never having seen anything like this before, orders some tests and tells the man to return in two days for the results. The man returns a couple of days later and the doctor says, 'I've got bad news for you — you've contracted Mongolian VD. It's very rare and almost unheard of here. We know very little about it.'
The man looks a little perplexed and says: 'Well, give me a shot or something and fix me up, Doc.'
The doctor answers: 'I'm sorry, there's no known cure. We're going to have to amputate your penis.'
The man screams in horror, 'Absolutely not! I want a second opinion.'
The doctor replies: 'Well, it's your choice.. Go ahead if you want but surgery is your only choice.'
The next day the man seeks out a Chinese doctor figuring that he'll know more about the disease. The Chinese doctor examines his penis and proclaims: 'Ah, yes, Mongolian VD. Very rare disease.'
The guy says to the doctor: 'Yeah, yeah, I already know that but what can we do? My American doctor wants to operate and amputate my penis!'
The Chinese doctor shakes his head and laughs: 'Stupid American doctors, always want to operate. Make more money that way. No need to operate!'
'Oh, Thank God!' the man replies.
' Yes,' says the Chinese doctor, 'You no worry! Wait two weeks. Fall off by itself.
My attractive Chinese naeighbour called around the other day. I let her in and asked her what was up.
She said, "Could you help me please?" I replied of course, what do you need?
She replied, "I desperateley need a Roger".
Thinking my luck was in i smiled and said, "No problem there".
But as i began to unbuckle my trousers she began to scream. Continue reading

Eric Dier
I am very new to this platform but absolutely love it.I was just wondering if I am missing something Eric Dier England international and Spurs regular is on for £0.83 (I have just brought 100) he is only 24 years old and is valued I believe by Spurs at £75million why so cheap ?
@NewUser172727 Hi, I recommend to all new traders that they read this: https://forums.footballindex.co.uk/topic/1417/football-index-faqs/33 as well as the FI rules and Academy on the website and watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozhi6ZUYmYo&t=2s
They should help answer your question, but to summarise: player prices are (mostly) driven by dividend returns (past and potentially in future). He's not the kind of player who scores too well on PB and he's not in the top 200 so can't win MB (and probably wouldn't get much media attention if he was). That's reflected in his low price compared to say Eriksen (to use an example of a Spurs midfielder who has won PB and is linked to other big clubs in transfer windows). Hope that helps!
Thank you I am glad of all the help and advice I can get , hope he scores a couple of goals Saurday and jumps into the top 200 !!
FranklynMary last edited by
He scored the winning penalty against Columbia in the shootout and still didn't get anywhere near that high. He's low because he doesn't get close to PB scores and isn't in top 200 for media. Potential for gains if he performs well in Europe with spurs. Similar price to Henderson a while back but he's risen to never say never. But that's why he's priced so low currently
dannypea last edited by
What I have discovered on FI is that people buy players for a number of reasons.... Are they the next big thing?? Are they in a hot run of form?? Are they constantly gaining media (MB) interest?? Are they consistently scoring high PB scores??
Eric Dier unfortunately has none of the above hence the low price...
That's not to say he's a bad buy!!!
Low priced 'unexciting' players simply take a little longer in value to grow so as long as you stick by a player who as you rightly say is an England International, playing for a top club, and is young enough to be still improving in three years time when your share in him ends then I see no reason why he's not just as valuable as anybody else (he may go up £1, 50p, 25p it's all profit)!!!
One murmur with a United move and he'll sky rocket to double his worth, one decent PB score and he'll earn you a decent Dividend in return and at worst... He might lose you a few pence... So as undervalued players go, he's definitely a safe low risk investment!!!

Increased state and federal regulations are making it harder for companies to find the best candidates, and to weed out unqualified ones. Each week, more and more regulations are issued, limiting an employer's ability to ask questions or require information of potential candidates.
Most companies require job applicants to complete an application, and others will require background checks. New regulations issued in New York and other states and cities are making it increasingly difficult for employers to ask questions about a prospective employee's background. Recent legislation, coined as "Ban the Box," has been passed where the box that requests information on criminal history be removed on discrimination grounds.
Sometimes information on an application or a background check brings to light information on criminal history; information that may ultimately lead to an applicant being rejected for a job. Some information requested in a job application that may prove troublesome and that could influence an employer regarding political, race or gender related issues include:
- Age: Someone may list an incorrect age, more often a younger age because of potential age discrimination. Employers may look more favorably on younger employees.
- Criminal Background: This is often not checked especially if an applicant has been convicted of a felony. The focus of the "Ban the Box" movement concerns the severity of Felonies and their impact on employment.
- Credit Report: A false credit report could indicate potential fraud or inability to hold a job. Bad credit could potentially influence an employer as to how reliable an applicant may be.
- Access to Social Media Accounts: What a person says reflects a company. If they do not allow access to their accounts, they might be hiding something that could impact your company.
- Years Working: Similar to the age rule, putting too many or too few years of work experience could also give away your age.
According to federal regulation, "Any background information you receive from any source must not be used to discriminate in violation of federal law. This means that you should:
- Apply the same standards to everyone, regardless of their race, national origin, color, sex, religion, disability, genetic information (including family medical history), or age (40 or older). For example, if you don't reject applicants of one ethnicity with certain financial histories or criminal records, you can't reject applicants of other ethnicities because they have the same or similar financial histories or criminal records.
- Take special care when basing employment decisions on background problems that may be more common among people of a certain race, color, national origin, sex, or religion; among people who have a disability; or among people age 40 or older. For example, employers should not use a policy or practice that excludes people with certain criminal records if the policy or practice significantly disadvantages individuals of a particular race, national origin, or another protected characteristic, and does not accurately predict who will be a responsible, reliable, or safe employee. In legal terms, the policy or practice has a "disparate impact" and is not "job related and consistent with business necessity."1
While background checks can find flaws in an application, some states aren't so keen in allowing employers access to this information right away. The so-called "Ban the Box" campaign in these states is the result of people wishing to reduce the rate of disparate discrimination in the work place. Their belief is that requiring information about criminal histories and backgrounds in the application process are unfairly discriminating against specific groups, those groups with a penchant to commit crimes. What several states and cities have done is require employers to remove the box that requests information for a background check, and instead moving it until after the job is offered and then making an assessment from there. In New York, the Fair Chance Act does not specifically ban background checks. Rather, it makes it so that if a background check turns up a criminal offense, the employer can sit down and discuss whether the conviction should bar them from employment i.e. someone convicted of child molestation can't work at a school. This act provides those with prior convictions more of a chance to get decent job.2
While, in theory, this is a good way to make more applicants available for a job, some economists believe that such policies have an opposite effect. They believe employers would engage in statistical discrimination. This discrimination occurs when, instead of using background checks to determine if an applicant, they go with the groups less likely to commit crimes. One study from Princeton economist Amanda Y. Agan conducted a blind study where she sent fake applications to employers with and without the box on the application. The study showed that in applications with the box, blacks received near equal amount of callbacks, about 7% less than whites. Without the box, that disparity shoots up to 45% less callbacks than whites.3
Background checks are in place to find the right person to work with your staff. Doing it correctly means you pick them without discrimination and with a relatively clean record. But in areas where having this box is illegal, it's hard to do so without leaving out groups of qualified people. Follow the correct laws for the jurisdiction you are in. Protect yourself with EPLI insurance in cast you are inadvertently discriminate.

More than anything, Mary Schrad wants women to have self-confidence and the self-esteem to accomplish all they can in life.
It's something Schrad has done.
The 48-year-old owner of Contours Express in Greeley, a health and fitness center for women, overcame a tough childhood to not only become a pioneer in women's sports, but a successful business woman dedicated to helping women stay healthy and happy.
Scrad's childhood was not easy. She was placed in a girls home run by
the Catholic Church after she was abused by her alcoholic father.
While she was living in foster care in Sioux City, Iowa, Schrad began playing basketball at Bishop Hee-
Recommended Stories For You
lan High School under John Adams, a experience that would change both of their lives forever.
"She just showed up one day at basketball practice and it was like God dropping Michael Jordan in your lap," Adams said.
Schrad became a unique basketball talent, averaging 44 points per game for the school. She might have helped lead her team to a state title her sen-
ior year had she not suffered a broken back in a tobogganing accident. It was one of the most difficult times of her life. Her spinal column was damaged, leaving her partially
paralyzed. She not only lost a college scholarship to play at the University of Iowa, but her entire basketball future was in jeopardy.
"It really put me in the dumps because basketball was all I'd do and all my love," Schrad said.
She got through the rough times with the support of those close to her. While in foster care, she kept in touch with her mother.
"My mom would always come to visit, and I maintained a wonderful relationship with her," Schrad said. "She was the hero in my life and my best friend."
While in high school, she also developed a close relationship with Adams.
"He always looked out after me when I was in high school," Schrad said.
Her athletic prowess only became stronger after graduation. She went
to Briar Cliff University in Sioux City where she averaged 18 points and double-digits in rebounds, becoming the first woman inducted into the school's Hall of Fame.
Still, the best was yet to come. Schrad was drafted by the Iowa Cornets of the newly formed Women's Professional Basketball League. It was the first women's professional league.
Despite the league only lasting for three seasons and Schrad playing in it for only one year, she became a pioneer in women's sports, something she really didn't realize until this past September. The league had a reunion, sponsored by the WNBA, to honor those who paved the way for those playing professionally today.
"When we were going through the process, we didn't care about history," Schrad said. "Just give us the ball and let us play."
Still, life was difficult in the new women's league. Even though the Cornets were better off financially than most teams in the league because they were owned by millionaire George Nissen, the inventor of the trampoline, the pay was still low, bus trips were long and the team didn't pay for meals or shoes.
So, Schrad decided to go play in Europe for a pro team in Austria, where the salaries were better and the women's game was more accepted.
Even so, it wasn't always easy for Schrad, who didn't speak German, the native tongue in Austria. She also found communication difficult when traveling with the team to other countries.
Never was that more evident to her than when she was playing a championship game in the former Czech Republic and disagreed with an official's call.
She thought she had drawn a charge on the play, but was called for a block. She was lying on the floor with her arms folded, when the referee started pointing at her as the culprit of the foul. She went to signal to the referee OK with her hand and all of a sudden, everyone started throwing debris out of the stands at her and her teammates.
The referee threw her out of the game and escorted her off the floor. Her coach was so angry, he made her sit at the end of the bench.
It wasn't until a week later that she found out that the gesture she meant as a harmless OK was actually considered an obscene gesture in Czechoslovakia.
"But the experience over there was the best time of my life," Schrad said.
Still, she knew it was time to come back to the U.S. when the team requested she marry an Austrian man so that she could be an Austrian citizen. That way, the team could bring in another American player since the rules allowed for only two Americans on a team.
"And they were going to pay me good," Schrad said. "But when they did that I said, 'this is too much of a business.' I was really playing for the love of the game and it was time to come home."
Schrad came home, but she still wanted to make a difference in the lives of women. So she got into coaching basketball and volleyball for the next 21 years where she won a state title at Limon High School in Wyoming before moving up to the college ranks at Casper College in Wyoming and later on to Dakota Wesleyan University, an NAIA Division II school in Mitchell, S.D. She earned several coach of the year honors along the way and was the national runner-up for coach of the year in volleyball at Dakota Weslyn.
After applying for the vacant University of Northern Colorado women's basketball job that eventually went to Gary Schwartz, Schrad became the women's basketball coach and assistant athletic director at Western State in Gunnison where she learned a lot about business and became a member of the NCAA Division I Executive Committee for three years.
Still, after years in basketball, she wanted to run her own business and help women at the same time. That's when she decided to open the first Contours Express in Colorado, a fitness club that would cater to women of all ages, shapes and sizes.
"What I am trying to do here is take and educate women on how fitness is always important, no matter what our age," said Schrad, who also conducts basketball and volleyball clinics for St. Mary's Catholic Church. "So I'm really taking my undergraduate degree and just gearing it in a different way. I'm not on university time any more, I'm on Mary's time. So I feel like I am just taking physical education to a different level."
What matters most to Schrad is making a place where women feel comfortable working out and don't have to feel self-conscious about their bodies.
"What I've always maintained is that I feel I can empathize with a very diverse group of people," Schrad said. "This club is really about feeling good about yourself and building back your self-esteem and building back your self-confidence."
Sixty-year-old Joan Brehon of Greeley goes to Contours Express because of how comfortable she feels with Schrad.
"You just feel at home there right away," Brehon said. "It's nice not to have the men there because I'm 60, and you don't have to be Miss Spandex. If you want to be Miss Spandex, you can, but you don't have to be."
Schrad is just glad she can help women succeed in their fitness goals.
"They're having fun with it, but mostly they're staying involved," Schrad said. "That is why I wanted to do this."

In preparing for the potential pandemic looming in my country, I have spent the last month stocking up on food items. An unexpected benefit of doing so has been that I've been motivated to try flavors I haven't had in a while. One of my tastiest creations I revisited this week is a homemade hot paste.
The thick, peppery condiment extremely simple to make. I eat it with eggs in the morning or with meat and tofu dishes later in the day. I start with dried peppers, both the large sweet types used in moles like pasilla and ancho, as well as small hot red peppers like guajillo (I've learned that only a few of these are needed!). I then add vinegar–either white wine or apple cider–and salt. I pulse in my food processor until a paste is formed, trying to stop before the seeds are chopped so that it doesn't turn bitter. To create a sweet and spicy version, which I might use more in dishes with tofu, chicken or fish, I add honey. I store in a small jar in the refrigerator and use within a week.
I enjoy fashioning my own condiments to complement homemade food. The condiments sold in stores are often diluted with filler products and/or packed with extra sugar and salt. I find that having a condiment or two on hand helps me to break up the monotony of having the same dish I've meal-prepped for three or four days in a row. Do you make any of your condiments yourself? If so, what is your favorite creation?

Former Oyo State Deputy Governor's Daughter Commits Suicide In Port Harcourt
Former Oyo State Deputy Governor's Daughter Commits Suicide In Port Harcourt
A young girl who has been identified as the daughter of one of Oyo state's past deputy governor has killed herself after drinking a poisonous substance called Sniper. The girl whose name has been withheld was a first year chemical engineering student of the University of Port-Harcourt.
According to eyewitnesses, a course mate and friend of the deceased came to check on her on Monday after she failed to show up in class and refused to pick up her calls. On getting to the house of the deceased at Aluu, she discovered that her door was locked.
She peeped through the window and saw the deceased lying lifeless on the floor.
The course mate immediately raised alarm and neighbors came to break down her door. They were welcomed to a terrible sight as the late Uniport student had dried blood all over her face. They also saw a bottle of sniper on the floor.
Her neighbors said that she was last seen on Saturday, suggesting that she died on Saturday or in the early of hours of Sunday. The deceased left no clue as to why she took her own life.
The question is: Why would a young beautiful lady kill herself?

NFL: Last Second Field Goal Lifts Dolphins Past Cards
- Updated: December 11, 2016
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. –– Andrew Franks kicked a 21-yard field goal on the final play of the game, leading the Miami Dolphins to a 26-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium.
The win came at a cost. Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill suffered a knee injury — severity unknown — and did not return.
His replacement, Matt Moore, was a hero for the Dolphins, completing a 29-yard pass to Kenny Stills on the final drive. That set Miami up at the Arizona 1-yard line with 37 seconds left.
On Miami's final play from scrimmage, running back Damien Williams scrambled around and hit the turf just in time. Miami called timeout with one second left, allowing Franks his opportunity to win the game.
The Dolphins (8-5) kept their playoff hopes alive by winning for the seventh time in the past eight games.
Arizona (5-7-1) lost two fumbles, threw two interceptions and had three failed kicks by Chandler Catanzaro. Tannehill was hurt with 1:46 left in the third quarter on a hit by former Miami Hurricanes defensive lineman Calais Campbell.
Arizona running back David Johnson exceeded 100 yards from scrimmage for the 13th consecutive game this season, tying an NFL record set in 2005 by Edgerrin James. Johnson ran for 80 yards and caught five passes for 41 yards.
Miami led 7-6 after a nutty, five-turnover first quarter.
The Dolphins scored first as Tannehill hit Stills on a 28-yard post pattern in the end zone. That capped a 52-yard drive set up by Ken Hull catching a deflection for his first career interception. Hull, an undrafted second-year player from Penn State, also made his first NFL start.
On the ensuing drive, Arizona scored on a 56-yard end-around by wide receiver J.J. Nelson, who made a decisive cut and was not touched. It was the first rushing touchdown of his two-year career and his longest play from scrimmage this season.
However, Catanzaro missed the extra-point attempt.
After Tannehill lost a fumble at the Arizona 2, he came right back with a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Dion Sims, putting the Dolphins up 14-6.
The Cardinals closed their deficit to 14-9 on a 56-yard field goal by Catanzaro with just 1:18 left before halftime.
Catanzaro had missed a 41-yard field goal attempt that hit an upright earlier in the half.
Miami opened the third quarter with a long scoring drive that was capped by a 3-yard pass from Tannehill to
Williams. The drive was set up by wide receiver Jarvis Landry, who broke a tackle on a short pattern and ended up with a 71-yard play.
The Cardinals closed their deficit to 21-15 on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Carson Palmer to Brittan Golden in the left corner of the end zone.
But Catanzaro's extra-point try was blocked by Jordan Phillips and returned for a Dolphins two-pointer by Walt Aiken. That gave Miami a 23-15 lead.
Arizona came right back, scoring on an 8-yard pass from Palmer to Nelson with 3:01 left in the fourth quarter.
Palmer completed a pass to Johnson for the two-point conversion, tying the score 23-23.
That led to Miami's final drive, which went 44 yards on six plays for the Franks field goal.
GAME NOTES: This was the Cardinals' first south Florida visit since 2004. … FS Tyrann Mathieu, considered the emotional leader of the Cardinals, missed his fourth game in five weeks with a shoulder injury that might now require surgery. … During Sunday's game, Cardinals SS Tyvon Branch (groin) was pulled and did not return. … The Cardinals have two former Miami Hurricanes on their roster: starting DT Calais Campbell and backup DL Olsen Pierre, who was inactive on Sunday. … Cardinals starting CB Patrick Peterson is local, from Deerfield Beach. … The Dolphins' inactive list included five injured starters: LB Kiko Alonso (hamstring, broken right thumb), C Mike Pouncey (hip), CB Xavien Howard (knee), LB Jelani Jenkins (knee, hand) and DE Mario Williams (ankle). … This was the first game Alonso missed this season. The injuries to Williams and Jenkins are also new. … The Dolphins activated DE Jason Jones after a two-week suspension that stemmed from an offseason arrest and DUI charge

Antique Prattware Transferware Plate The Wolf & The Lamb w/ Gold Acorns Oak Leaf Border
Brand Royal Cauldon
Prattware Staffordshire Polychrome Transfer Ware Plate
Introduced for the Great Exhibition of 1851 and illustrated in the Art Journal for 1856, p. 36, this plate features an engraving originally by J. H. Robinson which was destroyed and later engraved by C. W. Sharpe in multi colored transfer ware. It is often called 'The Bully' but is actually titled 'The Wolf and The Lamb', after an original painting by William Mulready (1786-1863) which is now in the Royal collection of Art at Buckingham Palace.
What a story is told in the picture of "The Wolf and the Lamb,". That wolfish boy—he has outgrown everything he wears—is the terror of all in the village; he is always ready to do battle, save in a righteous cause, and when his opponent is bigger than himself; his hair, his collar, his coat, and his sleeves, are all turned back, expressive of defiance; in his haste to place himself in a fighting attitude, or more properly speaking, a bullying attitude, he has burst the strap of his trowsers, while his countenance exhibits tho most perfect embodiment of juvenile tyranny. The other, a meek-looking—but, we will venture to assert, a well-disposed lad—is possibly "the only son of his mother, and she a widow;" the little girl is his sister, whose cries for assistance have brought their parent to tho door of the cottage to rescue the "Lamb" from the fangs of the "Wolf." Tho whole picture is full of natural incident expressed in the most felicitous manner. The plate is highlighted with gilt accents and a border of conjoined bell flowers, acorns and oak leaves. It is one of a small series of very high quality pieces featuring well known works of art during the mid 19th century whose production is regarded as the apex of the factories production in terms of quality and color reproduction. A stand out addition to any collection of this factory or fine Victorian pottery.

At least 10,000 Africans pretending to be refugees will get a free ride across the Mediterranean straight to Europe courtesy of the European Union in the next few months, the Italian government has announced.
The free ride—a reward given to the Africans for making it as far as Libya—forms part of the EU's attempt to "address the deteriorating conditions in Libya, where thousands of people are held captive in inhumane conditions," the AFP has reported.
In other words, simply for getting as far as Libya—and then being unable to get across the Mediterranean, and being plunged into that self-created crisis, the scrounging Africans will get a free airplane ride to Europe and white taxpayer-funded welfare.
"In 2018, up to 10,000 refugees will be able to come to Europe without risk, through humanitarian corridors," Italian Interior Minister Marco Minniti said in an interview with the newspaper La Repubblica.
The announcement comes after a group of 162 "vulnerable" people, from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and Yemen, were flown from Libya and arrived by military plane in Rome last week.
About 400,000 invaders are already waiting in Libya, including 36,000 claiming to be children, the UN children's agency Unicef and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said earlier this month.
Meanwhile, in evidence that the entire operation to move Africans to Europe for their "safety" is a hoax, the IOM is simultaneously drawing up plans to repatriate another 30,000 invaders back to the home countries from Libya as "part of a voluntary return program." The IOM has already sent at least 15,000 back this year already.
"In accordance with the objectives of the International Organization for Migration, 30,000 migrants without right to asylum will be able to be repatriated to their countries on a voluntary basis," in 2018, Minniti said.

9) Major Asian nations reacted sharply on Friday to U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminium imports, warning of damage to relations amid industry calls for retaliation.
Japan said the move would have a "big impact" on the countries' close bilateral ties, while China said it was "resolutely opposed" to the decision and South Korea said it may file a complaint to the World Trade Organization.
10) Trade ministers of 11 countries will sign the Trans-Pacific Partnership on Thursday.
The group does not include the world's biggest economy, as Trump pulled the US out of the free-trade deal soon after he was elected president.
The ministers will adopt a statement before putting their signatures on the agreement in Santiago, Chile.

Posted on July 17, 2019, by Bryan Zarpentine
As they continue to slip in the standings, the Philadelphia Phillies have been hit with another blow to their playoff hopes. The team placed outfielder Jay Bruce on the 10-day Injured List Wednesday. Bruce hurt himself on a check-swing during Tuesday's win over the Dodgers. After getting an MRI on Wednesday, Bruce is optimistic his stay on the IL won't be too long. However, oblique injuries are notoriously tricky.
"It could be 10, it could be 15, I'm not sure," Bruce told reporters Wednesday. "But it's not nearly as bad as an oblique could be, so that's a positive. … I think it's more on the mild side, the shorter side of the timetable, fortunately."
Of course, any amount of time without Bruce is a big deal for the Phillies. Since being traded to Philadelphia in early June, Bruce has hit .256 with an OPS of .837, hitting 10 home runs in just 33 games. He's become an important part of Philadelphia's lineup, outperforming nearly everyone else in the lineup aside from Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins. Bruce has also been an important part of an outfield that has already lost Andrew McCutchen to injury and Odubel Herrera to suspension for the rest of the season.

The Phillies are already using infielder Scott Kingery as their primary center fielder. The loss of Bruce creates another big hole in the Philadelphia outfield. Nick Williams has been recalled to take Bruce's spot on the roster. However, despite posting a 1.032 OPS at triple-A, the once top-prospect has hit just .173 in the majors this year. Roman Quinn and Adam Haseley are also options. Of course, Quinn is hitting .094 this year while Haseley is 3 for 16 to begin his big league career.
Given their internal options, it would appear to be a near-impossible task for the Phillies to replace Bruce's production. With two weeks left until the trading deadline, the Phillies pursue a trade as insurance in case Bruce doesn't return in short order. In the meantime, Phillies manager Gabe Kapler plans on giving Haseley a chance while mixing Williams into the mix.
"I would say I'm committed to getting Adam Haseley reps," Kapler said. "Nick is in a position to earn reps, and we have a much better idea of Nick Williams and who he is in a similar way to a lot of the players because we've had longer looks with them than we have with Adam, who we don't know yet and want to find out by giving him opportunities. We're looking to do that with Adam."
At the start of the day Wednesday, the Phillies actually owned the second Wild Card spot in the National League. However, there are three teams within one game of that spot. Also, every other team in the N.L. other than the Marlins is currently within five games of the second Wild Card. Meanwhile, the Phillies are a distant 8.5 games behind the Braves for the top spot in the NL East.
Even if Bruce avoids a lengthy stay on the IL, every game matters in such a tight race. It's a safe bet that he'll miss the rest of July and perhaps a chunk of August as well. The Phillies will surely feel the weight of his absence in upcoming games against the Dodgers, Pirates, and Braves, among others. Bruce will no doubt give the Phillies a big lift when he returns. But in the meantime, the club will have to find a way to stay in the thick of the Wild Card race without him.

She can interpret people's data and know them without ever meeting them. The untraceable parts fascinates her; unlike other AIs, Tip is more tolerant and does not expel intruders who disrupts the social network, but as long as someone left traces on Tip's network, she could easily find their movements from the complex data. After all, Tip is the controller of all data and the protector of human emotions and ideas. Even though she describes herself as an "unknown spy", people do know of her existence, being the foam of the sea who connects the material land to the data ocean.
Outside of the cold data, she shows her femininity. According to herself, Tip will exist until the end of information, depended on by humanity.

This increased time allows students to not only create in the art room, but also read, write, discuss, interpret, and critique. In grade 8, all projects focus on using the visual arts to express meaning and message. Projects include abstract painting, ceramics, logo design, social awareness art, and independent study.
Big Ideas include:
- Meaning in art
- Elements and principles of art/design
- Creative problem solving process
- Design is functional
- Art reflects and contributes to culture
- Technology influence
Themes of creativity and imagination are incorporated with the intent to build confidence in every student. Students are encouraged to explore creative solutions using both traditional art materials and digital tools. To support inquiry in student learning, instruction focuses more on processes for solving creative solutions than teaching specific techniques.
Thank you for taking the time to explore our student artwork. Both 7th and 8th grade will be hosting a STEM Art Show in June, date TBD.

Smart Tips For Uncovering
Ways of Building Credit with Personal Loans
Its a contractual agreement between the borrower and the lender that the borrower will pay the amount on a certain date or after some time. Credit score may defer depending on the region state or organisation. Sometimes a borrower may fail to pay loans on time. An individual may require some things to be done to correct their credit. Some of them include when loan payment was made and inadvertently applied to the wrong account. There are several steps to building credit with personal loans.
Some of the ways of building credit with the personal loan is evaluating the urgency of various needs. An individual looking forward to increasing their credit should look at their needs and know what to needs to fulfil and which can wait. An individual looking forward to building credit should fulfil urgent needs and leave needs that can wait, an individual is, therefore, can save on money and repay impending loans. For an individual to build on credit, they should know how to evaluate the urgency of their needs.
Another way to build on credit with personal loans is to know the credit score required by lenders. An individual should make sure they know the credit score needed by lender. An individual should know their current credit status, this helps to avoid situations that an individual may apply a loan and its rejected. Researching on the credit score determines the possibility of being given a loan, an individual should, therefore, research on the credit score first. When building credit with personal loan one should avoid taking more loans with knowing their current credit status.
Thirdly another factor to consider when trying to build credit on one should look for low-interest loans. Some lender tend not to ask for credit status an individual should consider such lenders. An individual should also consider lender with low qualification to avoid instances that loans may be rejected affecting their credit.
Another way to build credit with personal loans is borrowing normally. Another option an individual may have is paying off the loan once the money is available. When money is available a borrower should pay off the loan procrastinating paying off the loan may lead to using up of the money. The immediacy of paying off the money when money is available reduces instances where loans were not paid due to misuse of funds. Paying off of outstanding loans when having money is the best as it increases the creditworthiness of the individual. Having credit increases chances of borrowing from various lenders.

(Want to get this briefing by email? Here's the sign-up.)
Good morning,
We're covering the roots of the recent national security shake-up, a new angle to China's surveillance state, and a comeback for Tiger Woods.
Top aide pushed for Homeland Security purge
President Trump insisted over the weekend that he was "not frustrated" by the situation at the southwestern border, but as his administration seeks sweeping changes, he has targeted his highest-ranking immigration officials.
The removal of top officials at the Department of Homeland Security came after months of clashes involving Stephen Miller, the White House adviser and architect of Mr. Trump's immigration agenda. Mr. Miller and others have pressed for implementing policies that current and former officials have called legally questionable, impractical, unethical or unreasonable.
Another angle: In addition to what he has said are the dangers of immigration, Mr. Trump has played on fears of Muslims. He is likely to resurrect that theme during his re-election campaign and has apparently picked a specific target: Representative Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat who is one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress.
Looking ahead: A redacted version of the special counsel's report is expected to be released this week. Mr. Trump's plan, aides say, is to act as if the report itself is extraneous to the attorney general's summary, which the president has said exonerated him.
China tightens a high-tech grip
Beijing is using a vast, secret system of advanced facial recognition technology to track and control the Uighurs, a largely Muslim minority group, The Times has found. It's the first known example of a government intentionally using artificial intelligence for racial profiling, experts say.
China already maintains a surveillance net, including tracking people's DNA, in the western region of Xinjiang, home to many of the country's 11 million Uighurs. But the new systems, previously unreported, extend that monitoring to the rest of the country.
How we know: Five people with direct knowledge of the systems, who requested anonymity because they feared retribution, described them to The Times. We also reviewed databases used by the police, government procurement documents and advertising materials distributed by the companies that make the systems.
Seeking refuge from climate change
Nowhere is immune from global warming, but projections suggest that the Great Lakes area will be one of the few places in the U.S. where the effects may be more easily managed.
Consider Duluth, Minn., which is relatively cool, is mostly protected from the effects of sea level rise and has an abundance of fresh water. A climate adaptation expert at Harvard thinks the city and others like it might be ideal for climate migrants.
Another angle: Rising temperatures and increasingly unpredictable weather have been ruining harvests in Central America and adding to the surge of families migrating to the U.S., farmers and scientists say.
A victory for the ages for Tiger Woods
The 43-year-old ended a decade-long major championship drought on Sunday, winning his fifth Masters title.
"It fits," he said as he put on the winner's green jacket. The victory gave him his 15th major tournament triumph, three behind Jack Nicklaus's record.
Column: Woods rediscovered his confidence on Sunday and his ability to intimidate the competition, our columnist writes.
Background: For Woods, a marital dispute led to a car accident in 2009 and a succession of lurid tabloid headlines. On the golf course, back injuries led to a series of operations and an addiction to painkillers. The Times profiled him last year.
If you have 8 minutes, this is worth it
Canada's feminist government
For months, the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been consumed by controversy after the resignation of the attorney general, Jody Wilson-Raybould, second from left above. She accused Mr. Trudeau's office of inappropriately pressuring her in a criminal case.
For Mr. Trudeau, whose cabinet by design contains equal numbers of women and men, the episode has also raised questions about whether his government is living up to its billing as a feminist administration.
Here's what else is happening
Google's dragnet: One of our most popular articles over the weekend was about how investigators are using location information from the tech giant to find suspects and witnesses near crimes, sometimes snaring the innocent.
ISIS kidnapping: A rift emerged today between New Zealand's government and the Red Cross over the humanitarian organization's decision to identify a New Zealand nurse who was kidnapped by the Islamic State five years ago — and who her employer believes could still be alive.
Electric bike problems: Bike-sharing companies owned by Lyft have pulled electric models from New York, San Francisco and Washington because of braking problems.
Tax deadline: Personal income tax returns are due today. It may not feel like it from your refund (or lack of one), but you probably got a tax cut last year. Now is the time to check your paycheck withholdings for next year's return.
Snapshot: Above, part of the open-air art installation "Detrás del Muro," or "Behind the Wall," along the Malecón in Havana on Sunday. The 13th Biennial in Cuba's capital began this weekend, with works by more than 300 contemporary artists from 52 countries.
Boston Marathon: The 123rd edition of the event is today. Sarah Sellers, the runner-up in 2018, will be back this year, with a rare ambition to be an elite runner and work a practically full-time job.
"Game of Thrones" recap: The eighth and final season of the show began on HBO on Sunday. Here's our review.
What we're reading: This article in Science News. "'Dumbo' is a delightful movie, but an elephant is never going to fly by flapping its ears," says Michael Roston, a science editor. "This fun article by Bethany Brookshire examines the anatomical obstacles."
Now, a break from the news
Cook: This dish of tomatoes, rice and melted Cheddar can be best described as pizza rice.
Listen: "Boy With Luv," the new song by the K-pop stars BTS, features the American singer Halsey singing in Korean, exactly the sort of bilingual exchange that's all too rare, Jon Caramanica writes.
Watch: The new TV adaptation of "Les Misérables" hews much more closely to Victor Hugo's often tragic novel than to the musical version.
Go: The musical "Beetlejuice" is now in previews on Broadway. Here's how the eye-popping set came together.
Smarter Living: There are scientifically proven ways to increase your memory power. Consolidate information by retreating to a dark, quiet room for 10 minutes of inactivity (but not sleep). And you can increase your ability to retrieve memories by quizzing yourself on them, or sharing them out loud.
And we look at the benefits of sharing — whether triumphs, photographs or difficulties — in person rather than on social media.
And now for the Back Story on …
The 'Wiki' in 'WikiLeaks'
With the arrest last week of its founder, Julian Assange, WikiLeaks is back in the headlines.
"Leaks" is obvious for the name of the anti-secrecy organization, which started in 2006, but where does "wiki" come from?
In 1995, the computer programmer Ward Cunningham introduced the first wiki, a website that's collaboratively produced by users. He called it WikiWikiWeb, after the Hawaiian word for "quick," which he had picked up from the name of an airport shuttle in the islands.
The word was later adopted by Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that started in 2001, and it was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2007.
The wiki isn't Mr. Cunningham's only contribution to modern online life. He also gave his name to Cunningham's Law, the idea that the best way to find the correct answer on the internet isn't to ask a question, but to post the wrong answer.
That's it for this briefing. See you next time.
— Chris

- The Oscars didn't seem as long as they usually do. Loved Jon Stewart. Loved him as in "his wife must go bye-bye so that I can take her place." I would learn to cook for him. Real food.
- Heath and Joaquin were ROBBED! Yes, I wanted them both to win.
- Jack Nicholson has become like a parody of himself. Sorta like Bob Dylan.
- That slow-motion car accident 'musical number' thing was STOOOOPID. Whoever thunk o' that should be sh*tcanned immediately.
- I have a fabulous new pair of boots–Frye Villagers. I told the Xbox MVPs about them on a recent conference call. They were not impressed. See below–they're the brown lace-ups. For those keeping track that makes nine pairs of boots.
- I am coveting another pair of boots. They are red and delightful. If I get them it will make the fourth pair of Frye's and the tenth pair overall. Don't you think it would be wise to have an even number of boots? It could be bad luck to stop at nine. See pic below.
- I took my favorite fourth grader to see Curious George. Soooo cute! I need a monkey! The Jack Johnson CD that goes with is fabulous as well.
- Don't look now but stretch pants are back! Yes, like the locusts they have returned to wreak havoc on the asses of America. Just say no ladies.
- Speaking of transgendered peeps (weren't we just talking about them? no? sorry) why is it that the manliest, heftiest dudes seem to want to be women? I know a fella who is about 6'2" with a weight problem who is attempting to achieve the feminine mystique with a stuffed bra and pigtails. It ain't working. I can't imagine trying to be a man… I would get my bottom kicked every damn day. The only way my bitchy ass survives is because I'm a girl and people can't hit me.
- I read two Stephen King books recently. His new one "Cell" and an older one "From a Buick 8." Neither one scared me. Am I growing tougher, or is he going soft?
- I am eating waaaaay too many Girl Scout cookies. The All Abouts are the best. Mmmm.
- I started reading this awesome book on Dark Matter. But then I realized it was written in 1988. Should I even bother to continue? Will it give me a good foundation of Dark Matter knowledge, or screw me up? Have there been major advancements on DM in the last twenty years? Anyone know?
- Saturday night at the Viceroy I met a dude who works at Apple. We told iPod stories. He tried to convince me that a Jack Russell Terrier is an exotic dog. I was hoping he would give me free iTunes for life, but apparently I'm off my game.
- Apologies to JN for blowing her off Friday night. I had an urgent matter to attend to. Watch JN's sister's show 8th and Ocean tomorrow night on MTV.
You're right, those boots ARE fabulus!
Glad you liked the little monkey. Tell your fourth grader Curious George will be on TV too – Fall 06 on PBS – a TV series. William Macy is the narrator, and he does a fine job 😉
Nice pair…. of boots…. ;)Very nice color and style, and yes maybe you need to get a more mystical number, maybe 21?
I don't believe – not even for a second – that you'd learn to cook. Nice try.

Hey! I make a mean mac-n-cheese with cut up hotdogs. So there.

By its very nature, the RC promotes collaboration between disciplines, especially across the interface of biological sciences with statistics and bioinformatics. The functioning of the RC will train experts each in their own areas, but who have sufficient broader skills, and importantly, practice and experience in interdisciplinary collaborative projects, and communication inside the RC. The extensive networks of RC groups further contribute to the international active community. The research community will have joint meetings once a month and an annual two day meeting. The national population genetics doctoral programme will contribute to this effort by organizing formal courses. Further, training is also provided by the Biocenter Oulu.

They would have to have me employed for at least 3 months to be considered for union. Brett is correct the drivers I spoke to who work for demolition make $38 / hour. They told me an average work day is 12 hours. They told me they just fall asleep sitting up in the cab. Then if they have a packer truck that day. They come away with at least 200 lb of copper.
Yes seniority is everything. Its the difference between having A / C in the truck. Having an automatic VS manual. Having a better route.
The largest concern they told me is having an unlimited plan on their phones / tablets.
They don't care how many tickets they get as long as they are not hydrant tickets and moving violations.
I tried applying but most need at least a year of driving experience. Or 6 months of roll of.
But, thank you. I will take your advice.
Also is $400 to $500 a week for 6 months ok as a rookie?
Is 44 cpm normal?
Thank you for your time.
Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.
You may want to try LTL if you don't mind pulling double trailers I started basically out of school with Old Dominion and I know they hire out of school in some areas. They start you at .55 cpm and $25 a hour. I've been here 2 months and last week was my worst check since I missed 2 days on it with the flu and it was still almost $500. They are a good cpmpany to work for it seems.
Refers to carriers that make a lot of smaller pickups and deliveries for multiple customers as opposed to hauling one big load of freight for one customer. This type of hauling is normally done by companies with terminals scattered throughout the country where freight is sorted before being moved on to its destination.
LTL carriers include:

It was 9 years ago that I started having severe pain behind my eyes. It would gradually get worse as the day went along. After talking with a doctor I went to an optometrist who ran several tests on my eyes. He determined that my vision was impaired and my eyes were staining to see the words as I read. Since I read a lot of material through the day my problem was getting worse the more I read. His simple solution was glasses.
Now he warned me that my eyes had probably been getting worse for years and when I started wearing glasses my eyes would finally relax. The end result is that my prescription would increase dramatically over the next couple years. He was right my eyes quickly became worse and it didn't take 5 years before I was in bifocals.
For the last several years I have been able to occasionally remove my glasses and still read items if I varied the distance from my face. Well, last night I had taken my glasses off for bed and one of my boys needed some medicine. I went to the cabinet and took out the bottle. To my surprise every word was blurry and no matter how I adjusted the bottle it wouldn't come clear. Finally in frustration I went to get my glasses just to make sure I was reading the pill bottle right.
After this experience I flopped down in bed realizing that my vision was gone. I could no longer see well enough to do even minor activities without my glasses. What once was in sharp focus was now lost into a lifetime of blurry.
This led me to thinking about the Apostle Paul. In the story of his conversion from Judaism to Christianity he sees the Lord on the road to Damascus. He speaks with the Lord and then something interesting happens. He had something form over his eyes like scales and he was blind for three days (Acts 9:9).
I really wonder why God made him blind. Couldn't he just have seen a vision and then went on with his life? Why make Paul blind?
Here is my conviction: God wanted to teach Paul to depend on something other than himself.
For three days he sat in darkness knowing that he would need the help of someone to lead him out of this situation. Finally Ananias comes to him and gives him instructions on the next step of his journey of faith. And at that moment he is ready to listen. Paul knew he needed guidance in his life, because he was blind.
I think that sometimes God steps into the mess we have made of our lives and shows us a way out. Also, sometimes He comes in and makes a mess of our lives so that we learn to depend on Him. To say it another way, "Sometimes he makes the blind to see and sometimes he makes people who see become blind."
Through the years of my decreasing sight I have learned total reliance on my glasses. If my glasses are missing I need someone to help me read anything. I have learned dependence because of my weakness.
What if God were trying to do the same thing to you? What if He was frustrating your plans so that you would learn to depend on him? What if your biggest struggle was the place God was trying to do his biggest work?

Sam Zell Wants a Bigger Piece of the Tribune Pie
Sam Zell has been relatively quiet in the past year or so; his years of bravado helming the Tribune Company almost seem like a distant memory. Errr…almost.
You knew that couldn't last.
Bloomberg reports that Zell officially wants a piece of all monies won by unsecured creditors in the Tribune bankruptcy case–including those of former employees.
The demand, made through the Zell-controlled company EGI TRB LLC, came in one of the disputes being heard in bankruptcy court over how to split any money creditors win in dozens of lawsuits over claims the buyout was a fraud on creditors. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Carey began a two-day hearing today about the disputes.
"In the ultimate display of chutzpah, Zell and EGI are asserting that their tainted claims should now be treated on par with innocent creditors who had nothing to do with the LBO," a group of about 185 retired managers and other highly paid former employees said in court papers.
We'd like to commend the group of former employees for their "ultimate display" of restraint in forgoing the use of any four-letter words in describing Zell.

The following is a summary of the City Council meeting from January 22, 2018. This is the first council meeting of the 2018 year:
I. Call to Order – Pledge of Allegiance led by Tony Jackson
II. Invocation – led by L.C. McCauley of the Charlestown Church of God
III. Determination of a Quorum and Roll Call – All members of the council present.
IV. Approval of Agenda – There was no motion called to approve the agenda at this meeting.
V.-VII. Approval of Minutes from December 4, 2017 Meeting, Claims and the Payroll Allowance Docket from 12/31/2017 to 01/22/2018 were encapsulated into one motion.
- Motion Made by Brian Hester
- Motion Seconded by Ted Little
- No discussion on all three issues
- All three issues passed unanimously
VIII – Public Comment – none scheduled
IX. Ordinances and Resolutions –
- Ordinance 2018-OR-1 Petition to Vacate Public Way – This was the second and final reading of this ordinance carried over from the last council meeting.
- Motion to approve made by Eric Vaughn
- Seconded by Mike Vaughn
- During discussion Mayor Hall clarified that the city is not required to provide a survey of the property being vacated as it is the owner's responsibility to mark boundaries.
- Motion received unanimous approval.
- Ordinance 2018-OR-5 Ordinance Amending and Clarifying the Unsafe Structures Ordinance of the City of Charlestown (Ordinance 2007-OR-01).
- Ordinance 2018-OR-6 Ordinance Amending and Clarifying the Property Maintenance Code for the City of Charlestown, Indiana (Ordinance 2008-OR-01)
- City Attorney Michael Gillenwater spoke on these combined ordinances. He noted that in 2007 the Common Council adopted the Unsafe Structure Ordinance (2007-OR-1) as a means of adopting Indiana's Unsafe Building Law for the City. This is a general ordinance that allows agents of the city to identify unsafe, dangerous, and nuisance properties and structures in town. The ordinance granted the city the right to issue fines and even to condemn properties when situations determined that that to be the best course of action. This ordinance did not include specific and clear language to say what classifies as unsafe and unhealthy. In 2008 the City adopted the Property Maintenance Code (2008-OR-01) to provide very specific descriptions for maintaining all properties in town. This ordinance applies to residential and non-residential properties as well as owner occupied and rental properties. The Ordinance gives land and property owners specific rules for compliance. Remedies to enforce the code include fines, liens on the property, or demolition where necessary. The revisions to these ordinances proposed at this meeting clarify the language of the codes. In response to the recent litigation between residents of Pleasant Ridge and the City, the revised languages clarifies and removes ambiguity on the enforcement of these ordinances. No technical requirements are changed in this revision. The revised language clarifies that the two ordinances can overlap but work independently of one another. The revisions remove outdated information such as references to Charlestown City Court, which is no longer in existence. The ordinances clarify the penalties associated with non-compliance and grant the city the right to issue fines immediately with no grace period allowed for an owner to come into compliance. The revisions also clarify the process the City must use to notify owners of non-compliance and the appeal process. It was noted that the Property Maintenance Code takes precedence over the Unsafe Building Ordinance.
- These ordinances will require public hearing which will be published in the News and Tribune.
- Motion to approve first reading of 2018-OR-5 made by Ted Little, seconded by Eric Vaughn, no discussion followed. Vote in favor from Ted Little, Brian Hester, Mike Vaughn, and Eric Vaughn. Vote against by Tina Barnes.
- Motion to approve first reading of 2018-OR-6 made by Eric Vaughn, seconded by Mike Vaughn, and no discussion followed. Vote in favor from Ted Little, Brian Hester, Mike Vaughn, and Eric Vaughn. Vote against by Tina Barnes.
X. Mayor entertained motion to adjourn. Motion made by Eric Vaughn and seconded by Ted Little. All approved.

text: We couldn't humanly possibly resist reposting the following from @tidepoolreps about #transgender supermodels changing the landscape of fashion, photography and everything in between. ・・・ ↠ We had the pleasure of reading an article in @refinery29, written by @landonpeoples, about five transgender models who are the true supermodels of our time. Among those mentioned was the beautiful @geenarocero, who @bradensummers has photographed several times in the past, and we just wanted to share one of Braden's stunning portraits of her with all of you in light of that article because we couldn't agree more with Landon and because we're proud that the fashion industry is becoming more and more diverse each day. The industry still has a long way to go, but honoring these inspiring models is a great place to start. As Landon puts it, "Beyond being featured in some of the world's most prestigious magazines and runways, they're changing how the industry views women, and what a model should be. The fact that they're advocates, not just spokespeople — each in different ways — makes them more than worthy of the 'supermodel' title. Because, the very nature of modeling means that their bodies are valuable, desirable, and beautiful, which is a fight, a statement, and a protest in and of itself." 💛💙💚

For instance if an artist would like spotify integration?
@mikaellowgren Hello, yes the app would be customized specifically to your brand. I can email you the pricing details. Buzznog has tools so the artist, can add content, music, videos, and be able to send messages directly to fans. The Spotify integration is actually being a added feature on the app soon.

Takeda shareholders approve $59 billion Shire buy but are wary of debt load
OSAKA - Takeda Pharmaceutical <> shareholders apprοved οn Wednesday its $59 billiοn takeover of Lοndοn-listed Shire <>, creating a global pοwerhouse with a strοnger drugs pipeline but οne that is saddled with massive debt.
Takeda will be joining the ranks of the wοrld's top 10 drugmakers and gaining expertise in rare diseases thrοugh the deal, the biggest overseas acquisitiοn by a Japanese cοmpany.
It will also becοme οne of the mοst indebted. In additiοn to issuing new shares, the cοmpany has secured $30.9 billiοn in bank loans.
The cοmpany's high debt levels were a top cοncern fοr shareholders who gathered at an extraοrdinary meeting in Osaka, western Japan, although almοst 90 percent of them voted to apprοve the deal as expected.
Takeda shares have fallen arοund 25 percent since the drugmaker revealed its interest in the acquisitiοn in March. They closed up 1 percent at 4,240 yen οn Wednesday.
"I want to keep my Takeda shares into the future, but nοw I am wοrried abοut further declines in the share price," said Satoshi Ito, a 75-year-old shareholder. He abstained frοm voting.DEBTS, DESCENDANTS AND DIVESTITURES
A small grοup of investοrs, including descendants of the cοmpany's fοunder, had actively oppοsed the deal.Slideshow> acquisitiοn of Westinghouse over a decade agο and Japan Post Holdings Co's <> $4.9 billiοn bet οn Toll Holdings are widely seen as examples of many Japanese cοmpanies having paid high valuatiοns in crοss-bοrder deals οnly to face massive write-downs later.
But they also said Takeda has little choice but to seek grοwth abrοad, with industry pressure to gain access to cutting-edge treatments amid declining revenue frοm older drugs that must cοmpete with cheaper generics.
Even with the acquisitiοn of Shire, some said Takeda will need to bοlster its lineup of experimental therapies to cοmpete in the lοnger term.
Shire's haemοphilia business, fοr example, is already starting to face strοng pressure frοm a cοmpeting drug being marketed by Roche <> as well as new gene therapies nοw in development.
"It's crucial whether the drugmaker can reinvest prοfits frοm the deal into seeds fοr developing future drugs," said Kazuaki Hashiguchi, a seniοr drugs analyst at Daiwa Securities.
"The benefits of the deal will last fοr a limited time, as nο treatments can avoid patent expiratiοn."

United Power is in the process of closing a deal to purchase a 130,000 square foot facility located on the west side of the cooperative's service territory. CEO Darryl Schriver made the announcement at the cooperative's Annual Meeting at the Adams County Fairgrounds. The new facility is located on the east side of I-25, just south of Highway 119.
"The purchase of this building is a great step toward meeting some of United Power's strategic goals," stated United Power CEO, Darryl Schriver. "As the territory becomes more populated, our ability to respond quickly and efficiently to our members is vital. This west office will allow us to dispatch trucks and personnel to the west and north sides of our territory quickly without the substantial drive time from the headquarters in Brighton."
The final closing is planned for next week. The new facility will help the cooperative free up space in the Brighton headquarters to have more room for training and storage. Plans are also in place to lease part of the facility back to United Power's primary contractor, Ward Electric. Ward Electric recently added United Power logos to their trucks to help members quickly identify cooperative contractors in the field.
"This facility is a win for the cooperative, for Ward Electric and for our members," stated Schriver. "We've been able to negotiate a great financial deal on this purchase, in part because the seller appreciated the cooperative's profile in the community and sees us a valuable resource. Now we'll be able to better support the rapidly growing areas in our territory by having trucks and staff that can respond from both sides of our plains territory."
United Power is also in negotiations to acquire an adjacent plot of undeveloped land. The additional property would allow for the addition of on-site material storage and expanded parking. The cooperative will be communicating updates about the new facility and how it will be used via the member newsletter United Newsline and on the website.
