|~ The girl "promising" that she will never tell Lucy about the puppy
Little is known about the little girl's origins but she is first shown befriending Lucy by protecting & aiding her against the bullies. Lucy at first resisted her offer of friendship, her alienation already begun. Lucy had kept a secret from all at the orphanage. In the grounds just outside the building, she had been feeding a stray puppy, and it became the only thing she cared for.
She later realized she did not have enough food for the growing dog, and thus went to the human little girl for help out of necessity. The little girl made a promise to Lucy not to tell anyone about the puppy, knowing full well that if she did, the puppy would most likely be tortured as well. For reasons that are not clear, the little girl told Tomoo and the bullies about the pup. Possible reasons range from her being tricked into revealing the secret to her being loose-lipped to her entire offer of friendship being a deception meant to gain and then betray Lucy's confidence.
As the little girl enters in the canteen, she is shocked to see Tomoo about to kill the puppy while forcing Lucy to watch, and though she begs them to stop, the puppy is soon killed. The little girl admits she was the one who told them, but her dialogue is ambiguous as to why she did this. The little girl then seemingly confirmed her betrayal by sporting an enigmatic grin. Again, the reason for this smile is unclear : It could have revealed her deliberate betrayal, been a nervous smile brought on by tension, or even been a hallucination on the part of a despondent Lucy.
Lucy, enraged by this, unleashes her telekinetic vectors for the first time, killing everyone in the canteen. The exact manner of the little girl's death is unclear from the scene. In later sequences, she is seen as a hallucination in Lucy's mind, tormenting her and showing a hole blown in her face.
- Many fans hate the orphanage little girl. Many believe that she really did betray Lucy on purpose, thus being nicknamed "Traitor Little Girl".
- There are many theories about the orphanage little girl's reasons for revealing the pup's existence to Tomoo. It's felt that she could have been loose-lipped, been tricked into it, or she could have only pretended to befriend Lucy so that she and the bullies could torment her even more.
- The little girl's enigmatic grin still remains a mystery, and it is unknown whether if the smile is real or just a hallucination by Lucy. The grin appears in both versions of the series.
- The little girl is only a villain if she had a grim reason for her actions, in which case she is a true villain. Evidence exists both ways, Her remorse, for example, could have been faked to set up future cruelty. The answer is simply not known for certain.

Thankfully, Tony is not leaving football for good. He's joining CBS Sports' NFL team, according to our sister site Deadline. He will replace the network's lead analyst Phil Simms, 62. He joins a team of analysts that includes Steve Beurelein, 52, Randy Cross, 62, Dan Fouts, 65, Trent Green, 46, Rich Gannon, 51, and Steve Tasker, 54.
The decision to end his football career came down to his health and family. A compression fracture in his back in Aug. 2016 left him sidelined for many games in his last NFL season. He played in five games overall in the past two seasons.
A position in broadcasting will allow him to spend more time with his family. His wife, Candice Crawford, 30, will give birth to their fourth child in Aug. 2017.
Tony has been with the Dallas Cowboys for his entire NFL career. Reports of Tony's departure have been going around for weeks. The Houston Texans wanted their shot at Tony, HollywoodLife.com learned EXCLUSIVELY, but Tony decided to go in a different direction with his life.
Regardless of his performance in the last couple of seasons, Tony is and always will be a Dallas Cowboys legend. We'll miss him on the field, but we're excited to see him try his hand at broadcasting! We salute you, Tony!
HollywoodLifers, are you sad Tony is retiring from football? Let us know!

ECE sophomore receives NIST fellowship
Even while on winter break, electrical and computer engineering sophomore Andrew Haddock's mind was on how to productively spend his summer vacation, searching online for possibilities.
"When I came across the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Web site, the program looked incredible," said Haddock. "I thought it was exactly what I should be doing."
NIST's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program is cosponsored with the National Science Foundation. Students who are awarded the prestigious 11-week fellowships contribute to an ongoing research project in one of the national institute's nine labs and also are treated to a diverse lecture series.
Haddock described the application process as lengthy. "I didn't know what I was doing but I got lots of help from Monica Frank [an engineering grants and contracts specialist], Dr. Kwon and Dr. Nair," said Haddock, explaining that the two electrical and computer engineering professors wrote letters of recommendation.
"I had to write a personal statement about why I wanted to do it, so I talked about my interests in neuroscience and modeling neurons in the brain," Haddock said, referencing the work he is doing in electrical and computer engineering professor Satish Nair's lab.
"When I was a freshman, Dr. Nair came and talked to my class and I knew then that I wanted to work with him," Haddock explained.
Nair said that Andrew, a Discovery Scholar, came to his office a few days after his presentation and asked whether he would consider having him in his research group.
"Looking at his strong academic credentials, I told him that I would be happy to get him started, but he would need some additional course background before he could begin contributing to my group's efforts with computer models of neurons and neuronal networks," Nair said. "Andrew jumped at the opportunity."
Haddock began working with a doctoral student in Nair's research group and read extensively about the biological mechanisms associated with neural plasticity in certain cortical circuits after chronic cocaine in rats.
"Andrew is working on coming up with models related to long term potentiation/depression in certain synapses," said Nair. "In parallel, he will also be working on a hardware setup to measure how neurons fire in a snail brain. This is a great start for a sophomore student, and I have high expectations from him."
Haddock submitted his application for the SURF program, and they responded within a week.
"I was in the computer lab doing my homework when I heard," said Haddock, who immediately called his mother to share the news that he had been accepted as a summer fellow and would be working in NIST's Boulder, Colo., facility. "She was really happy, not only for me, but because her entire family lives in Colorado and it gives her an excuse to visit," he said. Both of Haddock's parents are civil engineers by training.
"I want to get my feet wet on what I intend to do, to surround myself with people who are dong the research that I want to be doing," Haddock said. "I don't just want to advance technology with my work. I want it to be more about the human condition."
"It is a quite honor to receive the fellowship," said Kwon. "It will provide an opportunity for him to work directly with scientists in many advanced science fields. His case can be a good role model for students to set their future goals at an earlier stage."
Haddock is a member of Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu honor societies, and also participates in the college's Lego Robotics program, visiting in the fourth and fifth grade classrooms at Columbia's West Boulevard Elementary School one afternoon each week.
"If you really want to do something, you should just try," advised Haddock. "This fellowship is a great place for me to start."

- Description
Qnexus, when mounted to Quantum's new-generation Qflash 5d-R flash units, this ingenious receiver/decoder "reads" wireless TTL signals directly from Canon and Nikon shoe mount master flashes. It integrates multiple high-power Qflash 5d-R's into Canon or Nikon wireless TTL systems where they act as dedicated, full-function remotes controlled totally from the camera's flash menu. Qnexus supports all Canon and Nikon wireless flash functions including Manual, Automatic, TTL and TTL-Ratio. A Qnexus equipped Qflash 5d-R produces 150 to 400 watt-seconds of beautiful studio-quality lighting (models QFT5d-R and QFX5d-R respectively). Qnexus greatly expands creative options for portrait and event photography. For example, photographers can make a great portable portrait set-up by using a Qflash in a softbox or with an umbrella, as the main light source, and use their Canon or Nikon flash for fill. Or, for those tricky, large group photos, they can use any combination of Qflashes with camera manufacturer's flashes as remotes, all controlled by a Nikon or Canon wireless controller. Qnexus/Qflash adds both power and versatility to the system. Qnexus features a multi-function LED that indicates it is programmed for either Nikon or Canon wireless flash commands. Qnexus also indicates when the unit receives a command from the on-camera master flash or controller. A channel dial corresponds to the channel settings for Nikon or Canon systems. In addition, "Group" setting.

Silver Ventures releases details of 8-story office building near Pearl
An eight-story building Silver Ventures is constructing near its Pearl development will include a mix of office, retail and restaurant space.
Bank of America is leasing 66,000 square feet in the building at 1803 Broadway St., which will have four stories of offices and four of parking along with restaurant and retail space on the ground floor. No other tenants have signed leases.
Called Oxbow, the structure is expected to be finished in the second quarter of 2020. It's next to the new 12-story headquarters being built for Credit Human at Broadway and Grayson streets. The two buildings will share a plaza, fountain and park area.
On ExpressNews.com: Pearl-area complex brings 'cutting-edge sustainable' practices to San Antonio
"The Broadway corridor was the heart and soul of our city back in the day," said Bill Shown, Silver Ventures' managing director of real estate, in a statement. "We're thrilled to see the energy returning to the area and our hope is that Oxbow will entice businesses to return to the city center and be a catalyst for future growth and energy."
Silver Ventures is building the complex with the help of $8.8 million in tax abatements and rebates from San Antonio and Bexar County. The pair of buildings will be the first commercial structures in San Antonio to use geothermal power for heating and cooling.
Nearby, Jefferson Bank is planning to build a 12-story tower for its new headquarters, as more financial companies move from the North Side to the urban core. The building will have 180,000 square feet of office space across seven floors, part of which the bank plans to lease to other tenants.

My day started at 9AM where I worked at the local CSI building till 1pm. Then I came back home to rest for a bit, then left at around 4pm. Then I stopped by West Jersey Hospital to do a 1 hour rotation with Dr. B. Then I went to work at PH from 6pm till 10:30 pm. Long day, pero happy kaayo ko kai I have Sunday off! woot woot!
hahahaha naa oi, hapz pahawok lang sa mangingilo HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ate Haps, sounds like you guys had a wonderful B-eautiful! Day! haha! Its always refreshing and motivating to read stories about family unity and familial happiness. Your husband must have felt he was the happiest and luckiest Dad-Husband-Guy in the world!Bless ya!
Haha, I'm delighted to hear the story, Ate Haps. I can only picture the smile that was on your husband's face. My day today was nostalgic. Preparing for the trip I'm having with my friends to NYC this coming weekend. A mini college reunion with some college friends.
Went to three parties.A church party, a grad party, and a BBQ social. I'm tiiired! =P
I have very mixed emotions right now, 'te. Part is focused on family and Bohol, but most of my worries are medical school; med books, kits, finding an apartment, cost of living etc. Fun stuff. lol. So how was your weekend?
Oh I forgot that this thread is "What did you do today?"Hehehe...I went to see my husband performed at Harlow's today here in Sacramento. I didn't join the band this time. Funny, because one of the guys (Adrian) who was in our band last time was featured today in our local news Channel 13. The guy plays bass using just one hand because the other hand/arm and 1 leg were amputated when he had an accident few years ago. So, the news was all about him that even though he has disability, he didn't choose to receive social security to live but to have perseverance in life and just be positive in everything he does. He was told by doctors that he might not be able to walk and was in hospital and in therapy for almost 2 years. But amazing, he can now walk and live a normal life though his one leg is 2 inches shorter than the other because it was replaced with steel or something artificial (forgot the term, you probably know because you're a doctor)! Before we saw him on TV today, we already knew the story because he told us when he was on our band few weeks ago. Funny because my husband wished Adrian was featured last month so he will be on TV too. I told him that it's okay because he was interviewed at CNN few times and Fox 40 news.
My brother Andre and I went walking in the bike trail earlier. One thing that I noticed was how my little brother was telling me to 'go faster' hahaha. Ngek! The child whose diapers I used to change; whose powdered milk I would prepare in his bottle; and the child who I used to bathe when he was only a baby. haha. Kids nowadays. Jeez.

Bernard B Jacobs Theater
The Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre is a Broadway theatre located at 242 West 45th Street (George Abbott Way) in midtown-Manhattan.
View Larger Map
Bernard B Jacobs Theater was Designed by architect Herbert J. Krapp, it opened as the Royale Theatre on January 11, 1927 with a musical entitled Piggy. Producer John Golden leased the theatre and renamed it for himself from 1932 to 1937 (when he moved to the Theatre Masque next door). The Shubert Organization then assumed ownership and initially leased the theatre to CBS Radio. In 1940 the Royale was restored to use as a legitimate theatre under its original name. On May 9, 2005, it was renamed for longtime Shubert Organization president Bernard B. Jacobs.

As I wander down this path set forth by actions far deeper than my own,
I wonder if I've chosen correctly or if this is my last test.
For I've been given the largest challenge of self yet. I carry the scares forever of this path like cast out denisen of filth.
It mocks my plight and teases my temptation.
This path is laden with demons from so many pasts its becoming hard to see the future thru the fog of uncertainty.
Truths slowly come light as the day breaks.
Slow and steady says the sun as the wind breaks my fall.
How can a tree trained to be one way be another, and how can the cullmination of a thousand steps equal forgiveness when the demon simply wears a mask of change but has heart of coal?
Ive become fearful of the journy,
less trusting of this path im on.
Searching the landscape for a way to right this ship.
Yet in some small manner this worn path
gives comfort and I know from experience that all paths walked with a pure heart, mind and soul will lead to a good place.
For all challenges in life be they of heart, matter or mind if percieved as an opportunity for growth can be both painful and rewarding.
We shall see…As I walk this well trodden course.
"a life in progress."
The definition of trust as a belief in something or a confident expectation about something[53] leads to eliminate the notion of risk from the definition, because it does not include whether the expectation or belief is favorable or unfavorable. For example, to have an expectation of a friend arriving to dinner late because she has habituallys arrived late for the last fifteen years, is a confident expectation (whether or not we agree with her annoying late arrivals.) The trust is not about what we wish for, rather it is in the consistency of the data of our habits. As a result, there is no risk or betrayal because the data now exists as collective knowledge.

To be able to respond to modern-day challenges, U.K. development agencies need to shift their focus away from aid toward greater policy coherence.
Given that the U.K. will no longer provide aid to some middle-income countries such as India, its Department for International Development should form new models of cooperation within the health, education, culture, law and science sectors. Doing so will place more emphasis on working with small organizations, rather than larger delivery partners.
These were the recommendations of a new report launched this month by the International Development Committee, where a group of influential members of Parliament argued that while aid is essential to reduce poverty and reach development and environmental goals, aid alone is not enough. Recommendations in the report were based on evidence collected over a period of seven months from more than 60 development organizations and experts.
And global development professionals should heed the messages in the report, Overseas Development Institute team leader for public goods and services Leni Wild told Devex.
"We looked at countries that had already been experiencing improved economic growth or aid spending, and still have very uneven progress in basic things," Wild said, referring to ODI's own research published in the same week. "It reinforces the point [that] this is not just about financing."
The ODI expert explained that the development discourse has generally focused on convincing donors to boost their aid spending, when the conversation should instead be on "how aid works, how it can support development, how change happens in countries, and all of the different responses that need to come together to support that change."
During the report's launch, committee chair Sir Malcolm Bruce said the U.K.'s record in global development was "patchy," and called on the government to "up its game and make policy coherence a central priority."
DfID staff needs to adapt as well
Apart from policy coherence, DfID needs to make sure its staff is able to gain and hone skills appropriate to a future development setting that will require more than program management, and entail longer foreign postings, better language training and a greater focus on fragile states.
See more stories on U.K. aid:
● 'DfID has learned a lot' in Ebola response
● Implementers set to face more competition to deliver DfID programming
● OECD-DAC's peer review of UK aid: More and better development assistance
"In addition to traditional skills in program management," Bruce noted, "DfID must ensure it has people with a strong sense of the cultural context in which they work and the ability to influence key individuals and organizations."
Wild agreed that all development professionals — not just DfID staff — need to develop new skills to improve results. Rather than having project management skills, as required by managing programs, she said development implementers should become "facilitators."
"It's being able to identify who is making change happen, who has the potential to work on solving problems for themselves and to find some ways of supporting them," she explained.
One important change will be for professionals to deliver more adaptive programming and work in more flexible and entrepreneurial ways. She also emphasized the need for development delivery to be led by local people. Commenting on ODI's research, she said successful development examples showed "people solving problems for themselves rather than coming in and trying to manage that process externally through an aid program."
"They were not adopting a ready-made solution or a cookie-cutter approach to development, but really adapting it. Often it involved being very entrepreneurial — sometimes taking risks or trying new things out — seeing if they work. Sometimes they fail but you learn from that," Wild said.
Change the aid discourse
While the IDC report focused on technical recommendations for internal changes at DfID, Wild suggested it was also important to recognize that external communications about aid need to be reformed as well. ODI's report argues that politicians and policymakers should change the nature of public debate about aid by talking more about how aid works, rather than the total amount spent.
"There's interesting research about public attitudes and opinion on aid in the U.K., in Germany and in France that actually shows that there is an appetite to hear more about how aid works, where it doesn't work, why, and what action can be taken … rather than hearing a very simplistic and often heartstrings-pulling appeal about the level of need," the ODI expert said.
All public-facing development organizations, donors and nongovernmental organizations should adopt this approach, according to Wild, which she argued should also be included in post-2015 discussions.
"A new set of development goals should be an opportunity to widen that conversation with general publics around the world about how change happens, how development happens, the role of aid and other factors," she said.
In response, DfID said it agreed with the recommendations and is already working to implement changes.
"The committee is absolutely right to identify that there are many things beyond traditional aid that drive development and help reduce poverty, including trade, tax, conflict, corruption and disease," a DfID spokeswoman told Devex. "That is why we have directed more resources to tackle these areas with the aim of ending aid dependency once and for all."
How can development implementers become "facilitators" and work in more flexible and entrepreneurial ways? And what new skills can be acquired to improve results in this direction? Have your say by leaving a comment below.
Stay tuned for more U.K. election coverage and news, views and analysis on how this impacts DfID and U.K. aid in the coming weeks. To explore additional content, visit the Future of DfID series site, follow us on Twitter and tweet using the hashtag #FutureofDfID.

Crack-free Mesoporous Transparent Silica Monoliths
Airola, Michael
MetadataShow full item record
Transparent mesostructured silica monoliths have been prepared using amphiphilic block polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide copolymer as a structure-directing agent. The presence of the block copolymer combined with slow evaporation of the solvent leads to the formation of a crack-free mesoporous silica monolith, however this method requires a long processing time. Zhao et al. recently introduced a relatively fast method for the preparation of well-ordered crack-free mesoporous silica monoliths, greatly reducing the time required to produce a crack-free monolith to 8 hours by using liquid paraffin as a morphology protector. Using Zhao's method the ease and reproducibility of producing crack-free mesoporous silica monoliths was determined. Pluronic P123 and Pluronic F127, both proven structure directing agents, were used as the structure directing agents in this experiment. We report here that Zhao's method was able to produce crack-free silica monoliths, however successful reproducible attempts were only reported at a longer processing time of 18 hours and required smaller vessel sizes (~1.5 cm diameter) than reported by Zhao. A noticeable difference was seen between Pluronic P123 and Pluronic F127, with Pluronic F127 producing crack-free silica monoliths on a more consistent basis. Successful construction of crack-free transparent monoliths was heavily dependent upon the size and shape of the vessel and upon the desired thickness of the silica monolith.

Cloud-based applications and platforms are revolutionizing supply chain management today, scaling operations from small businesses to complex enterprises. Cloud supply chain software solutions are showing significant increases in implementation – so much so that not having one in place makes you an outlier.
Get our Supply Chain Management Software Requirements Template
Through our research, several key insights emerged.
The focus on achieving higher supplier quality, forecasting accuracy and inventory optimization while driving down manufacturing cycle times are priorities today. As a group, the senior management teams leading supply chains recognize the urgency of reaching these goals as quickly as possible. Due to the quick nature of deployment and configuration of cloud SCM software, more manufacturing teams view the cloud as a fast path to accomplishing goals.
Key Takeaways
- Gartner expects that by 2020, over 90% of spending on supply chain execution systems will be for cloud supply chain solutions.
- By 2023, talent shortages in the supply chain for 75% of the top 500 manufacturers worldwide will mostly have been mitigated by the use of supply chain digital assistants.
- Sixty-five percent of surveyed supply chain professionals believe that supply chain management (SCM) technology – including cloud computing – is a source of competitive advantage, according to a recent Gartner study.
- Cloud-based supply chain management software solutions are set to surpass $11B by 2023.
- The market for cloud supply chain management software is expected to rise by 24% or higher in 2020.
- SaaS revenue as a whole is expected to exceed $307B by 2024.
Succeeding with the Cloud's Speed and Scale
For all manufacturers, recent years show massive upticks in growth. Many were expecting average or slow demand, only to be surprised by the rapid increase in orders and buying activity by existing and new customers. The challenge is managing their supply chains to keep up. Ask a supply chain executive about cloud computing, and they only want to know if it can deliver more speed, scale and accuracy. None of them care about the technology; all they want are results. Cloud applications and platforms are the growth catalysts that will keep improving supply chain performance while catalyzing and fueling global manufacturing growth.
Cloud SCM Key Insights
The ten ways cloud computing is revolutionizing supply chain management include the following:
1. Supplier quality management features are delivering real-time updates on the latest inbound shipment inspection and quality levels, making sure the bill of materials (BOM) only defines the highest quality components and raw materials.
Getting a 360-degree view of every quality measurement from start to finish reduces costs and increases customer satisfaction. Cloud SCM software can track and report quality levels by production center, product and customer level. Another benefit of having a cloud-based SCM system is the ability to monitor and trace any assembly, component or subassembly throughout the supply chain in real time. With cloud SCM apps and platforms, quality becomes a more pervasive part of the system of record in any business.
2. Applying cloud-based business analytics and manufacturing intelligence allows manufacturing cycles times to improve.
"Manufacturing cycle time" has to do with the time elapsed between an order's origination until a product is created and stored in inventory. Making improvements to this valuable manufacturing metric requires consistent and clear data.
Cloud SCM can quickly gather and access data from multiple points across the globe. Without the cloud, sizeable multi-national warehousing operations are stuck operating in accordance with time zones and geographical locations. With cloud computing, any member of any section of the supply chain can access and exchange data with other users. Communication is a fundamental piece of the supply chain, and cloud-computing takes this to the next level.
Improving cycle times starts with knowing why and where delays happen in the manufacturing process. With the real-time applications of the cloud, you can stay at your most competitive. As a product finishes its cycle, the information about its manufacture can lend valuable insight into any possible improvements. Even now, there are SCM software solutions available that provide real-time updates on how a particular product performs and eventually impacts financial results.

3. Using the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) metric is providing users with the knowledge of which machines and tools are in the best health and if they fit the current production run.
Manual calculation of a machine's performance and health are time draining practices of the past. With cloud-calculation of OEE, decisions that affect product manufacture can be made quickly from anywhere.
OEE is an invaluable measure of a production machine or tool's health. It can also be used to measure a product line, production team or an entire production center's performance. An OEE metric tracks everything you would need to determine a machine's health, performance and when maintenance is required. This metric, as explained by IQMS, is calculated using a formula that measures availability, performance and quality. Cloud supply chain software allows for the easy gathering and analysis of OEE data. With no borders between the various networks involved, thanks to the cloud, this data can be sent and received from operations across the globe.
4. Scalable cloud-based applications are automating compliance and reporting so that valuable time isn't lost by manually preparing industry and government filings.
Compliance with the many rules and regulations of various government or industry institutions affects much of a supply chain. These reports require careful input of data and can drastically decrease the productivity of employees tasked with their creation and delivery.
For medical device manufacturers, cloud-based compliance applications remove the burden of spending their valuable associates' time cataloging records and reporting them. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) requires that every manufacturer maintain device history records to the batch, lot and unit level. A cloud-based application capable of producing federal device history records (DHR) is a significant time saving and competitive advantage. Medical device manufacturers also need to stay in compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP), CFR and FDA requirements, as well as ISO 13485 and 9001 standards.
Cloud-based computing, while helpful for all parts of the supply chain, is beneficial to niche providers. Each industry has its own set of regulations in place to ensure safe creation and transport of goods. Without quick access to parts of the supply chain, companies with ties to multiple niche industries would see a slowdown due to time wasted filing these types of reports.
5. Attaining real-time track and traceability performance is becoming more achievable with cloud-based applications that scale across supplier networks.
The more production locations a manufacturer has, the more critical supply chain visibility is to maintaining quality levels and gaining data used for product tracking. Cloud-based track and traceability features save many manufacturers from the variable expenses of a product recall by catching product quality problems early.
As your enterprise thrives, the need for rapid scalability increases. Relying on in-house software can lead to wasted resources when new solutions need to be integrated. If your inventory is growing, you need to meet the scaling challenge as quickly as possible. Taking time out of production, or any part of the supply chain, for new software integration and training can be a drain on valuable resources.
Without the need for new software, inventory errors brought on by a transition vanish. Everything in use before the need to scale up will still be in place. If your supply chain was working before you started to take on inventory, scale up and move on!

6. Integrating with diverse applications, databases and systems using APIs (application programming interfaces) is helping to scale manufacturing strategies faster than ever before.
APIs are a factor that's driving the proliferation of cloud apps and platforms across manufacturers' many production and plant locations. Serving as the glue between systems, APIs create real-time integration links between systems that enable more efficient data sharing, collaboration and transaction accuracy. Integration costs continued to plummet as APIs became more pervasive and broader in scope.
This ease of integration frees up vast amounts of time that can be spent in a more valuable way. As cloud supply chain software continues to grow in demand, you can expect to see even more game-changing additions included in their software suites. With flexible APIs in place, cloud computing can bring together a variety of different applications without excessive time spent integrating new software into your supply chain.
7. Cloud-based warehouse management systems (WMS) are enabling higher supply chain performance by optimizing order management and production planning across all warehouse locations.
Knowing inventory levels throughout supply chains makes inventory planning and management more efficient for each production center.
Cloud-based WMS and ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems generate data sets over time that show patterns, making it possible to anticipate shifts in demand. Not only does meeting demand keep your inventory moving, but it also fosters fantastic customer relations. With quick demand calculations and easy to access data, demand problems should never come between you and a customer.
These insights allow improved forecasting accuracy, which in turn makes optimizing manufacturing schedules all the easier. Also, with cloud-based WMS, ERP and analytics systems designed to optimize inventory, order management and fulfillment, manufacturers can expect to see profit and revenue growth gains.
8. Reducing order cycle times and rework by automating pricing, quoting and customer approvals with a single integrated system is becoming more common.
Product quality problems often begin when an incorrect or incomplete order gets created. Errors in pricing, quoting, product configuration or delivery instructions all introduce errors, slow down orders and drive down product quality. Automating pricing, quoting and customer approval workflows with a cloud-based application help reduce order cycle times and improve quality. Order accuracy goes up along with customer satisfaction, while delays in paying invoices drop, which reduces days sales outstanding (DSO).
Compare Top Supply Chain Management Software Leaders
9. Integrating product development, engineering, supply chain management and production planning on the same platform is increasing new product introduction success.
Instead of rushing new products into an initial manufacturing run, manufacturers who excel at product quality are willing to sacrifice a few weeks to get the product right. Readiness reviews and the highest priority problems or bugs find a resolution, and the schedule gets shifted to support higher quality. Cloud-based applications are integrating product development, engineering, supply chain management and production planning teams on a global scale to reach higher product quality levels.
10. Companies can measure perfect order performance with ERP software.
manufacturer, if you can deliver products on time, to the right place, with the proper documentation on the first try – then you can assume your perfect order performance statistics are doing well. The challenge to maintain this statistic grows as complexity in orders and configuration rises. Tapping into cloud-based analysis from ERP software can provide valuable information on retaining your perfect order performance in complex situations.
11. Users can leverage cloud SCM to adapt to supply chain disruptions and overcome physical boundaries.
If 2020 has taught us anything, it has shown us that agility, collaboration and flexibility are key principles to live by. COVID-19 has turned the world upside down, in more ways than one, and 37% of respondents to a recent Statista survey say they suffered partial supply chain shutdowns with significant shipping delays. A minuscule 13% said their supply chains have adapted to the pandemic without issue, and a further 8% had to deal with complete supply chain shutdowns.
Time is money, especially when the world's supply chains are working to adapt to a new normal on the global stage. Leveraging simple SaaS integrations can get lifesaving cloud SCM platforms up and running in no time with very little initial investment.
Mapping out supply chains can be expensive and time consuming, but analytics features included in many cloud supply chain management systems can help guide you. Working in concert with supplier networking features and visibility into critical metrics can help you move all the way through your supplier hierarchy to discover vital partnerships that can keep the supply chain thriving.
It's also no secret that as borders close and travel shuts down being able to remotely manage and communicate with the segments of your supply chain is critical. Cloud SCM helps move businesses past political differences and collaborate to keep products flowing.

Malaria is a mosquito borne parasitic disease. Malarial parasites belong to a genus known as Plasmodium. Malaria can also be transmitted through blood transfusion. Among the Southeast Asian countries, India contributes 77% of the malaria cases. In India, there are around 2 million new malaria cases are reported every year and around 1000 deaths are reported annually. Malaria is most common in countries with tropical and subtropical climates.
Signs and symptoms
Usually, it takes around one week to 30 days for the symptoms to appear after infection. The following are the common signs and symptoms associated with malaria:
- Fever
- Moderate to severe chills
- Headache
- Profuse sweating
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Fatigue
- Muscle pain
- Dry cough
The signs of severe or complicated malaria include:
- Unconsciousness
- Seizures
- Severe anemia
- Cardiovascular collapse
- Renal failure
Diagnosis of Malaria
Delaying the diagnosis of malaria can cause serious complications. The following tests can help to diagnose malaria:
Microscopic examination
Blood smear study
Blood smear examination is the "gold standard" test for the detection and identification of malarial parasite. During this test, a drop of blood is collected and is spread onto a glass slide. The blood sample is now treated with Giemsa stain and the red blood cells are studied under the microscope.
Quantitative buffy coat test
In this procedure, the red blood cells from the blood sample is collected through the process of centrifugation and are studied under a microscope.
Rapid diagnostic tests
This test helps in detecting the presence of malaria antigens in a blood sample. A testing strip which has malarial antibody is used in this test. A drop of blood is placed in the testing strip and the change in the color in the strip indicates a positive result. This change of color is brought about by antigen- antibody reaction. However, this test may not be useful to detect the specific type of Plasmodium which has caused the infection.
Molecular technique (PCR)
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay is a laboratory process in which the gene of the causative organism is extracted and amplified. It is used for confirmative diagnosis and to identify the Plasmodium species which has caused malaria.
Antibody detection tests such as immunofluorescence and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can also help in the diagnosis of malaria by detecting the antibodies against malarial parasites present in the blood.
Other tests: Liver and kidney function tests can help to find out whether the infection has affected liver and kidney function. A complete blood picture can help to determine if the patient has developed anemia.
How to treat malaria?
Home measures
The following are the home remedies to relieve the symptoms of malaria:
- Cold wrap: Dip a cotton cloth and wrap it on the forehead and wipe gently over the entire body. This helps in controlling the fever associated with malaria.
- Basil leaves: Basil leaves is an effective home remedy to reduce the symptoms of malaria.
- Orange juice: Orange juice strengthens the immune system and keeps the body hydrated.
- Ginger: Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
- Grapefruit: Consuming grapefruit on daily basis is highly beneficial for treating malaria.
Medical intervention
Your doctor would recommend certain over-the-counter medications to treat the symptoms of malaria. The antibiotic treatment for malaria depends upon the species of malaria, the severity of the symptoms, and your age.
Pregnant woman with malaria require a careful assessment and treatment as malarial infection can result in complications such as premature birth and miscarriage.

With a turnover of € 155.2 million, up 6% compared to 2011, and a net profit after tax of € 21.2 million excluding the exceptional result (€ 6.2 million in exceptional results), in other words 13.7% of the turnover against 11.4% in 2011, the Imprimerie Nationale Group achieved a solid performance in 2012. Since launching in mid-2009 its "CAP 2012" strategy aimed at repositioning the Group in secure identity, data management, printing and digital stream solutions, the Group has increased its turnover by 18% and its gross operating surplus has more than doubled, from € 11 million in 2009 to € 29 million in 2012. The Imprimerie Nationale Group has successfully completed its "CAP 2012"strategic plan a year ahead of schedule.
In 2012 the Group notably confirmed its position as a major player in secure identity solutions, by personalising the 10 millionth French biometric passport and by producing over a million electronic European Residence Permits, the second electronic and biometric document to incorporate a chip and the first to use a bank card format. The Group also extended its supply of multiservice official ID cards, equipping in particular the Orange Group.
The Group has further reinforced its strategy in the service of digital administration by implementing digitisation at the Préfectures, and is supported through receiving accreditation from the SIAF (Service interministériel des Archives de France ≈ French Archives Administration) for the conservation of public archives. The Group has also launched a cloud printing solution for complete digital management in sending letters and has trebled the hosting capacities of the servers at its Datacenter, thereby reinforcing its strategy of managing the sensitive data of its clients. All this falls within its comprehensive approach to sustainable development.Didier Trutt, CEO of the Imprimerie Nationale Group says: "The Imprimerie Nationale Group has successfully transformed itself and acquired a new industrial and commercial dimension. Our ambitions are supported by our human capital, our strength. The values of meeting requirements, of confidentiality, partnership and innovation are engraved in our DNA. They guide our decisions and actions to become the trusted strategic partner of public services, businesses and governments in guaranteeing security, sustainability and confidentiality."

Pool Float Reviews:During the hot months of summer there is nothing better relaxing in a swimming pool. Even better is floating on a pool float and letting the suns rays rejuvenate you. We recently moved to a home in the desert that has a pool so I looked into buying the family some pool floats to enjoy the water. They have advanced in the last decade as I remember the blowup mattresses that we used as kids. Today you will find swimming pool loungers, recliner pool floats, and tubes. The pool float chairs make it so you almost never have to get wet while basking in the sun on top of the water. I prefer the floats that let you just barely submerge part of your body so you can stay cool while still being in the sunshine. Most swimming supply stores carry pool floats as well as stores like Sports Authority, Walmart, Target, Frontgate and online at Amazon.com. Many stores will only carry these summer items on a seasonal basis, but you can always buy them year round on the Internet. Pricing is all over the board - minimum cost is about $15 while the high end floating chairs go for $100. Look for brands like Intex, Swimline, Swimways, PoolMaster, Aqua Leisure, SportsStuff, Kelsyus and Texas Recreation.
Chaise loungers for swimming pools are the best for luxury floats. You literally rest on the waters surface - many have cup holders so you can have your favorite beverage at arms length. Pool floats and loungers are often inflatable, but many of the newer models have part blowup and part mesh. Your body is supported by the mesh, but at the same time you are submerged into about a foot of water - your head stays dry on one end and your feet are out of the water as well. Some of the pool floats for kids are similar, except instead of lying down, the smaller kids stay upright with their feet and legs in the water while their shoulders and heads remain above water. One of the classics in this category is the Texas Recreation Sunray Pool Float which features a raised headrest, while your body gently floats along the surface of the water. It gives you enough buoyancy to feel comfortable, but also to get cooled off in the water. Great for lounging on the water - priced at $90. Pool float chairs like the Poolmaster Water Chair Lounger are just as popular - 2 armrests make you very relaxed while your neck, head, and body are fully supported. The Intex Floating Recliner Lounge is another top seller - features 2 air chambers, 2 cup holders, and 18 gauge vinyl. Perfect for pools, lakes, etc. One step up from the Intex lounger is the sportsstuff Siesta Lounge (see below for full review). It's slightly more expensive but offers a more durable design and built to last whether used in lakes or swimming pools. The last of the "best" loungers is the Kelsyus Floating Lounger - it sells for under $50 but reviews say it's the best value as it's durable and comes with an easy to use carrying bag. Pool float reviews are abundant on websites like Amazon.com. You can browse the most popular pool floats here.

After many hour of nearly pointless deliberations I am now finally putting up the inaugural post on my very own website, Potentially Wasteful! This has been a personal goal of mine for a few years now and while it seems like an incredibly small thing, but I've really wanted to have my own website, one that is 100% mine. It's seems silly, since other than an aesthetic overhaul there really isn't anything fundamentally different from my old blog that was hosted on Blogspot.
Except that little bit right there, "hosted on." Somehow knowing that always made me feel like it wasn't fully my blog. It was some sort of rental unit that I had for now, but it could never be more than that. Potentially Wasteful is the exact opposite of that. This is only the first post but I already know that this blog is 100% mine to make with it what I will. The infinite potential (eh?) of this site is entirely mine to make use of or let go to waste. (eh?) The decision to take the step forward with making Potentially Wasteful also came with the opportunity to to take another look at what kind of writing I've been doing for the past while. Unfortunately when I did take that look what I saw could be best described as skin deep only.
The writing was fun to do and generally had a pretty happy feel with it, but re-reading a bunch of the old posts I felt like they only focused on positive aspects and outlooks on things, which feels like a contradiction when it was paired with a title like "The Critical Canuck." It's not like there is anything inherently wrong with writing positive stuff, I just want to do more than that. Not every experience or story is happy with sunshines and rainbows to spare, and that's good as well, since negative experiences are the ones that we extract the most valuable information from, at least in my experience that has been the case. Also without the negative pieces to accompany ones with the good it ends up looking like I don't have anything to contribute and that I'm just blindly praising whatever person or thing I'm talking about, and then the writing doesn't feel noteworthy.
Enough of this particular rant though, another time perhaps. I'm sure some of you are wondering how I arrived at the name for the site no? Something like Potentially Wasteful isn't usually the first idea a person pitches. When I decided to go with that as the name of this blog I had two meanings in mind, one for those who will be reading this and then one for myself. The meaning for the readers is that for the most part people that come here will be looking for something entertaining to read, and therefore according to some your use of time is considered "Potentially Wasteful." As for myself is a reminder of how my efforts here can become potentially wasted if I allow myself to slip back into old habits of bi-monthly updates and things along those lines. I also really wanted to incorporate Potential into the name since it is such an interesting word to me. On one hand you have the infinite potential something like a blog has to be whatever the writer wants it to be, but also potential is theoretical in nature and only matters if results line up to back up the potential. It's one of the most important ways for people to describe what they think can happen, but also entirely meaningless in the same instant. Have I rambled enough to justify using my favorite jarring gif? You bet I have!
To summarize, I'm really excited about my new blog named Potentially Wasteful. I hope to cover a signifigantly larger range of topics over time and most importantly [POTENTIAL INTENSIFIES]
Make good decisions everyone.

According to a survey conducted by Blockchain Capital, 11% of US residents have Bitcoin.
Major cryptocurrency is most popular among young people. Thus, 20% of millennials aged 18-34 years keep BTC. Among those who are from 35 to 44 years old, bitcoin holders are slightly less – 15%.

— Spencer Bogart (@CremeDeLaCrypto) April 30, 2019
The number of Americans who have ever heard of Bitcoin increased from 77% in October 2017 to 89% in April 2019. It is noteworthy that the rate of awareness is growing almost evenly among all age groups.
The number of people convinced that Bitcoin is an innovative financial technology is gradually growing. Since October 2017, the number of such people has grown by 9%:
It is worth noting that the younger generation is more supportive of the first cryptocurrency than the representatives of the older age groups.
Since October 2017, the number of people who are convinced that they will actively use Bitcoin over the next 10 years has increased by 5%.
At the same time most of all are optimists in the younger age group. Also among the millennials most of all those who are likely to acquire Bitcoin in the next 5 years:
Thus, Spencer Bogart, a partner of Blockchain Capital, sums up young people who understand cryptocurrencies best of all, are more inclined to buy them, and are also most optimistic about the long-term prospects of digital gold.

I read something recently: …having their needs met.
The line related to the engagement of pupils in an activity that their school had paid for, in order to help them. The assumption was that some pupils would find it harder to engage, and so would need to have their needs met.
And I realised, this is ubiquitous language in education.
Not just in schools – it wasn't the school who wrote this – but amongst those attached to or engaged with the enterprise of education in some way, shape or form.
And I wondered, how did we get here?
Here is a school, choosing to discharge money gathered from the taxpayer to help improve a child's life, and rather than expecting gratitude, or at the very least some level of grudging acceptance of their responsibility to themselves, and to their society, we automatically default to assuming the child has 'needs' that are not being met? Were we always this indulgent of the ungrateful?
By this rhetoric, all children are needy, disempowered. When and how did we stoop into such a tacky quagmire of neediness, in a vacuum of responsibility?
Kennedy's 1961 speech is considered one of the greatest in history, for that line in particular. It has endured over half a century. Yet Kennedy learnt that lesson himself from his own school headmaster.
Do we have a responsibility to children in school, to our future generation of citizens? Yes, absolutely.
But they have a responsibility to themselves, and to us, too.
It's time we remembered that.

Harlem's two big junior stars are both only 5-foot-9.
That's not a problem.
"They have stretches where they can absolutely dominate a game at 5-9," coach Mike Winters said. "Fortunately, high school basketball is a guard's world. That plays right into their hands."
Treye Tucker transferred from Christian Life. Andre White Jr. is playing for his third school in three years; he left Chicago Loyola to follow his dad when Allen White Sr. was hired as coach of Elgin Harvest Christian and followed him again when he was fired after one season and moved his training business to the Rockford area.
Hononegah coach Mike Miller predicts White "will be the best guard in the NIC-10 since Fred VanVleet." He averaged 14 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals at the Class 1A level last year. And Tucker, while perhaps the skinniest player in the league, averaged 22.1 points at Christian Life as a sophomore and led the area with 8.0 assists.
"He's a little bitty kid, but he shoots from 25 feet," Miller said. "They'll be as talented as anybody."
Harlem has a third junior guard who could draw Division I offers besides Tucker (Stetson) and White (NIU, Western Illinois, several others).
"A lot of people don't know about him, but David Williams has a chance to be the best of the bunch," Winters said.
Harlem hasn't finished in the top half of the conference since 2009, nor won 20 games since 1994 nor more than 20 since 1956. All of those milestones look to be within reach, if not this year, then next year.
"Andre is lightning quick, very shifty off the dribble and really intelligent on top of being really talented," Winters said. "He makes everybody on the floor better because he creates for them, especially our post players; all they literally have to do is catch the ball and put it in the basket."
Is that enough to help the Huskies make Harlem history?
"We will get to some long-term goals shortly," Winters said, "but right now we're just trying to get them to focus on how you have to carry yourself to get better every day. It's a struggle. We don't know what it takes to be really good."
The Huskies could find out. Soon.
Matt Trowbridge: 815-987-1383; firstname.lastname@example.com; @matttrowbridge
Huskies at a glance
Coach: Mike Winters (1st season)
Last season: 7-23 (2-14)
Predicted finish: 4th
Returning starters: David Williams (6-1 Jr. G), Jaedan Gaither (6-3 Sr. PF).
Other key players: Treye Tucker (5-9 Jr. G), Andre White (5-9 Jr. PG), Blake Gribble (6-5 Jr. C), Dom Renteria (5-9 Jr. G), Tre Jones (6-5 Jr. C), Johnny Hernandez (5-10 Sr. G).
Strengths: Guard play, depth, top-end talent with two transfers who have received Division I offers in White and Tucker.
Weaknesses: Rebounding, half court defense, need to become more physical.
Outlook: Harlem hasn't won more than 20 games in six decades (22-3 in 1956) and has won just one regional title in 42 years. This should be one of the Huskies' best teams ever. "We hope to finish in the top three," Winters said. "The talent is there, but we have a lot to learn about the process."

Law blogs usually focus on a specific practice area and the ones we are interested in are labour and employment law blogs.
The 2018 Clawbies mark an inflection point in the history of these awards. While we've always honoured the best legal blogging in Canada, we started last year to also recognize outstanding providers of Canadian legal podcasts. This year, we've seen a dramatic rise in the number and quality of these podcasts, as well as in the support they receive in response to our Call for Nominations. It feels like a new era in personal online legal publishing is truly upon us.
Every year, the number and quality of Canadian legal blogs and podcasts increase, and lawblogs.ca now tracks an astonishing 500 blogs and podcasts about the law based here in Canada. This vibrant and dynamic community grows a little larger every year, and we're honoured to have the opportunity to recognize some of its most exceptional practitioners.

Holiday Book Deal
Hey Folks,
The holidays are upon us, the time of year when everyone is trying to feed you something or sell you something. I don't part take in any of the hectic Black Friday bustle, but I've been doing all my Small-Business Saturday and Cyber-Monday shopping. I was also reading up on the Icelandic Jolabokaflod, which translates to the "Christmas Book Flood."
Apparently, Iceland is super literary. They publish a lot of books, and they read a lot of books, a fact that is never more evident at Christmas time, when they gift a lot of books. I am falling in love with their tradition of giving loved ones books as presents on Christmas Eve so everyone can snuggle up in their warm pajamas and read until Christmas. How amazing does that sound? I want to make it a thing here, so I've already gone ahead and bought Jackson some books for this Christmas Eve.
What about you? You want in?
If so, I've got a couple ways to help. Obviously, my awesome publisher, Bywater Books, has a webstore at www.bywaterbooks.com, where you can get not only my books, but some fantastic books by my friends and colleagues in print or ebook.
If you are looking for something personalized to go the extra mile, I also have a few copies of Perfect Pairing, Close To Home, Edge of Glory, In Development, and Love All at my house. I'd be happy to autograph and mail those to you to give to someone you love, or to yourself, because it's important to love yourself, too, right?
The price on those books is $15 each, plus $3 shipping in the continental US. If you buy more than one book, we can combine shipping, and if you don't live in the continental US I will still ship them too you, but the price will be dependent on whatever the post office tells me. Supplies are limited and on a first come first served basis.
If you want to order books directly through me, either email me at email@example.com, or comment below with your email, and I'll contact you. If I don't respond within 48 hours, please assume the Internet ate your message, and try again!
Okay, now for a completely shameless and non-book related plug: I am also hosting a Pampered Chef Party next weekend. You see, not so long ago, while still struggling to make it as an author, I used to sell Pampered Chef products, and I got kind of addicted. Even though I've settled into my dream job as a writer, I still love to cook, and I still love all my Pampered Chef gear, so once a year I host a show for my friends. If you or anyone you know likes to cook, please check out this link: www.pamperedchef.com/go/rachelspangler122018
And even if you don't buy a damn thing from me this holiday season, I hope it's a good one for you, filled with laughter, light and love.
Happy belated Thanksgiving from the Spangler family!
I hope that those of you who celebrate all had a wonderful holiday. I don't believe in the whole pilgrims/Native American/colonist aspect of the day, but I do love any reminder that I have so much to be grateful for. My wife and son, extended family, great friends, amazing church, good home, food on the table, and the best job in the world all top my list. Also this year, after a quick brush with strep throat, I am grateful for urgent care, rapid strep tests, and effective antibiotics. I don't take any of these things for granted.
The strep is also my excuse as to why this blog is late. I hope you all don't mind, because honestly I'm tremendously grateful for all of you, too. That whole "best job in the world" thing wouldn't be possible without those of you who buy and read and review and talk about my books. You all feed my soul, and you also pay the bills for my literal food as well. I wish I could have given each one of you a bite of my turkey or pumpkin pie yesterday. What I can give you instead is 25% off my books, and the books of my awesome colleagues at www.bywaterbooks.com for the rest of the weekend.
So, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Black Friday, Happy Small Business Saturday, Happy Cyber Monday, and, oh yeah, I'm happy you're in my life. Now go get some books!
Tennis Mom Time
Hey All,
So the election is over and I'm ready to get back to books for a bit. Things have been going pretty well with Love All, and I'm getting lots of great feedback. If you've already read it, I'd really appreciate an honest review on Amazon. Those things make a huge difference to authors, especially those of us in small genres like lesfic.
I'm thrilled to the hear so many people are enjoying the romance between Jay and Sadie, but I will admit I have heard from two people now that they were afraid to start the book because they don't know anything about tennis. If you fall into this category, fear not. I purposely wrote the book in a way that even people who don't follow tennis can understand. However, if you still don't trust me, I got some help from my favorite up-and-coming tennis star to give you a quick primer.
Below you'll find a video featuring me and my son, Jackson, in which he shows you exactly what I mean by every tennis term I use in the book. Seriously, this ten-minute video tells you everything you need to know in order to fully enjoy Love All with out getting lost on the sports end of the story. Well, except we forgot to mention that in tennis scoring, "love" means zero. Yeah, I get that that's kind of an important point for a book titled Love All, but now you know.

Antiviral Resistance and the Control of Pandemic Influenza
Cohen, Ted
Levin, Bruce R
Published Versionhttps://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.0040015

CitationLipsitch, Marc, Ted Cohen, Megan Murray, and Bruce R. Levin. 2007. Antiviral Resistance and the Control of Pandemic Influenza. PLoS Medicine 4(1): e15.
AbstractBackground: The response to the next influenza pandemic will likely include extensive use of antiviral drugs (mainly oseltamivir), combined with other transmission-reducing measures. Animal and in vitro studies suggest that some strains of influenza may become resistant to oseltamivir while maintaining infectiousness (fitness). Use of antiviral agents on the scale anticipated for the control of pandemic influenza will create an unprecedented selective pressure for the emergence and spread of these strains. Nonetheless, antiviral resistance has received little attention when evaluating these plans. Methods and Findings: We designed and analyzed a deterministic compartmental model of the transmission of oseltamivir-sensitive and -resistant influenza infections during a pandemic. The model predicts that even if antiviral treatment or prophylaxis leads to the emergence of a transmissible resistant strain in as few as 1 in 50,000 treated persons and 1 in 500,000 prophylaxed persons, widespread use of antivirals may strongly promote the spread of resistant strains at the population level, leading to a prevalence of tens of percent by the end of a pandemic. On the other hand, even in circumstances in which a resistant strain spreads widely, the use of antivirals may significantly delay and/or reduce the total size of the pandemic. If resistant strains carry some fitness cost, then, despite widespread emergence of resistance, antivirals could slow pandemic spread by months or more, and buy time for vaccine development; this delay would be prolonged by nondrug control measures (e.g., social distancing) that reduce transmission, or use of a stockpiled suboptimal vaccine. Surprisingly, the model suggests that such nondrug control measures would increase the proportion of the epidemic caused by resistant strains. Conclusions: The benefits of antiviral drug use to control an influenza pandemic may be reduced, although not completely offset, by drug resistance in the virus. Therefore, the risk of resistance should be considered in pandemic planning and monitored closely during a pandemic.
