The project has been funded by the HP State Biodiversity Board, Shimla for which the university has been sanctioned a budget of Rs 27.50 lakh, informed the Public Relation Officer of the varsity Suchet Attri.
He informed that these PBRs contain comprehensive information on biodiversity components such as plants, animals, microbes, insects and their possible use by the local communities in the BMC areas. Further, PBRs also include information on topographic and socio-economic parameters including human population, climate, topography, natural ecosystems, livestock resources, livelihood patterns, etc.
He said that in addition, these 32 types of formats including agricultural, fodder crops, fruits, medicinal, ornamental, timber plants, weeds, pests and insects of crops, microbial diversity, domesticated animals, fish diversity, the market for domesticated animals, market/fairs for domesticated animals, and other products, people-scape, landscape, waterscape, soil type, trees, shrubs, herbs, tubers, grasses, climbers, wild plant species of importance, wild plants of medicinal importance, wild relatives of crops, wild ornamental plants, wild fumigate/chewing plants, timber plants, other plants in the wild, wild animal species, wild aquatic biodiversity and wild aquatic species of importance are covered under the PBR.
UHF Vice-Chancellor Dr Parvinder Kaushal said,
"Once these PBRs are prepared, the University, the Biodiversity Board and the concerned BMCs will have all information about the biological resources, their sustainable use, threatened species, etc. found in different blocks of these districts. This information will be helpful for any type of future planning and research on conservation and sustainable harnessing and judicious use of biological resources found in these districts".
Attri informed further informed that these PBRs are being prepared as per the Biological Diversity Act 2002, and in accordance with the standardized formats of the National Biodiversity Authority, Chennai. Dr Dushyant Sharma, Assistant Professor, COH&F Neri has been designated by the University as a Nodal Officer for the preparation of these PBRs. Dr Sanjeev Banyal, Dr Deepa Sharma, Dr Ravi Bhardwaj and Dr Richa Salwan will also be a part of the project.
The Biological Diversity Act 2002 has been enacted by the Parliament of India for conservation, sustainable use and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the use of the biological resources.

Jio TV Launches Three new Channels in Himachal for Elementary, Higher and Vocational Education
Shimla– Jio TV has launched three new Elementary, Higher and vocational channels in Himachal Pradesh. The Government of Himachal Pradesh has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Jio TV on 20th August, 2020 so that Education Department could reach the students. The government said that soon two more channels would also be started for students.
E-content of every subject for students of 1st to 12th classes would be made available on Jio TV. If any student is unable to view this e-content as per the subject schedule due to any reason, then the missed e-content will be available in catch up throughout the week. On converting this facility to video on demand, the overall education is going to be made available through Himachal Pradesh Jio TV soon, the government said.
In the view of COVID-19 pandemic, currently, the state government is running WhatsApp groups for pre-nursery to 12th standard. Other than that, Gyanshala programme is being run for class 10th and 12th through Doordarshan Shimla.
According to the state government, online content is being prepared by 200 teachers (State Resource Group) of the state.
It's pertinent to mention that students of government schools have been facing a huge loss in terms of studies as WhatsApp groups haven't proved effective enough to be termed as online education. As most children in government schools come from economically weak background and rural areas, procuring smartphones and Internet service is no less than a challenge for them. While private schools are using web applications like zoom and google hangout to conduct online classes, according to several teachers, government school students and their parents are not taking study through WhatsApp groups seriously.
The state government has yesterday decided to open schools for regular classes for students of 9th to 12th standard. The syllabus has been cut short but still teachers are likely to face tough time covering it.

UHF Nauni Bags Rs.25 Crore Funding, Set for Major Overhaul
Solan: The learning and teaching environment at the Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry (UHF), Nauni is set for a major overhaul under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research's (ICAR) National Agricultural Higher Education Plan (NAHEP) funded by the World Bank, informed the Public Relation Officer, Suchet Attri. He said that under NAHEP, UHF has been awarded the prestigious Institutional Development Project (IDP). The total outlay of the three-year project is Rs 25 crore with ICAR share of Rs 20 crore and Rs 5 crore funded by the state.
He said that this is one of the biggest projects in UHF's history and a major achievement for the university. It will help to provide a holistic learning and teaching environment to the students and faculty as scientists and students will be exposed to foreign universities to learn and exchange researchable ideas and issues. The University Vice-Chancellor is the project leader while Dr KK Raina, Professor and Head, Department of Business Management is the coordinator and Principal Investigator of the overall project, he informed.
The main objective of the project entitled 'Quality Education in Horticulture and Forestry to generate Human Resource' is to revamp the university's UG education through innovative and modern pedagogy, skill development, improving placement opportunities and catalyzing entrepreneurship through global thinking and input. He further said that under IDP, the university will look to strengthen collaborations with leading academia and industry for student exchange and faculty development programmes.
He informed that around 150 UG students and 50 faculty members will be selected through a competition, to visit top-flight foreign universities for a period of 3-6 months. Organization of webinars and seminars, workshops and capacity building, and engaging industry experts as adjunct faculty is also included in the project. In addition to the creation of several student amenities, the university will establish UG and language labs for improving soft skills, eight smart and two virtual classrooms. He said that the project will also push green initiatives like the use of solar energy for cooking, lighting, use of battery-operated vehicles, solid waste management and recycling, campus landscaping and development of nature parks.
He said that one of the highlights will be the development of Short-Term International Certificate course on temperate horticulture and forestry crops and the strengthening of Student Development and Career Development Cell by developing a proactive industrial interface to create job and internship opportunities. Remedial courses, special attention towards weak students, agri-incubation centres on hi-tech plant nursery, processed food and forest products for entrepreneurial and agribusiness skills will also be taken up during the course of the project.
He further informed that several works have already begun under the project, and initiatives like raising new plantations have been undertaken. The students are eagerly looking forward to this project and have been actively taking part in all activities. A review meeting of the core project team and the statutory officers under the chairmanship of the Vice-Chancellor was held on Saturday. Director Extension Education Dr PK Mahajan, Deans Dr Bhupinder Gupta and Dr ML Bhardwaj also took part in the meeting.
"This is a very proud moment for the university as we are among the national group that has got grants under this project. It will help us to improve the work culture and change the outlook of the students by providing a holistic learning environment. Besides, it will also help to enhance the quality of study and potential of the faculty will be fully utilized,"
said Dr Parvinder Kaushal, UHF Vice-Chancellor.
He said that only a select few agricultural universities have managed to bag the project through nation-wide competition.
The university will further focus on skill enhancement of students through study programmes with international collaborations and provide an inclusive and equitable quality education for the students through the faculty development programme. Dr Kaushal added that under the project, the university will ensure the sustainability of quality education and system effectiveness through the strengthening of the University Alumni network and industry interface.

Ghetto Tales - South Park Mexican feat A.C. Chill, L.T.
Phat Money Records
SPM baby
Putting it down with that Phat Money Records
Dope House Records
Phat Stacks, A.C. Chill, L.T.
This one's Ghetto Tales
What you know about that?
[Chorus (2Xs)]
These are the tales, the Ghetto Tales
Dope sales and life is hell, trying to stay out of jail
I'm rolling H-town South Park backstreets
A.C. Chill all the O.G.'s know me
In that Bourbon with the candy paint
For deep most of my n_ggas ain't got no car that's why
we so deep
We left a funeral to see my homie's mamma cry
It always hurt me when any of my homies die
All of a sudden gun shots rang out
I guess these young G's plexin' gang bang clout
We pulled over I said "Let me out this b_tch man"
One of these n_ggas finna get they wig split man
Pulled out my strap you know how the show goes
Somebody yelled out and yo here come the Po-Po's
I told my n_ggax "Yo man I'll Catch you later"
Got pocket full of weed plus they got me on paper
Bailed around the corner to holla at my homie
Next thing you know the f_cking haters roll up on me
Damn, how much hating can a young n_gga take?
First chance I get a mother f_cker finna break
They caught me, now I'm in the jail cell pacing
Damn, a violation
Eighteen months is what I'm facing
[Chorus (2Xs)]
Im pushing weight trying to have it
Everything is flat
But at the same time I'm leaving n_ggas on their back
Up in the neighborhood I'm trying to stack a little cream
I'm paper chasing me and we trying to stack some green
And everything is far as bad when it comes to drama
I'm trying to make a little cash for me, Jay, and mamma
Ain't paying no bills but these n_ggas got me f_cked up
I rather sit on streets than see my ass locked up
And serving fiends is an everyday life thing
And from the cells chilling trying to have a nice day
And for this 420 Eastex life thing
I got the skills to hit a n_gga from big mar man
And platinum sh_t we gonna drop on the block-a-dee
Come watch my tongue twist wrecking with my boy "C"
Trying to survive make a meal with these ghetto dreams
We playa made plus we from the heart of S.E.
[Chorus (2Xs)]
SPM baby sitting dope fiends at the dead end
Fighting over sales with my motherf_cking best friend
Used to be broke and assed out
Now I buy Diamonds that make my wife pass out
Bad route was a path I chose
Blasting hoes
At last I rose
I got cash and clothes
From the crack I sold to let you bastards know
Stacking dough sitting on glass and vogues
My ass gonna show
I'm straight out of the slums
South Park where you get your car washed for crumbs
But these laws is on a cookout
I used to get took out
Three dollar pieces for my look out
Licensed cookie baker
That's my profession
Never have my dope in my own possession
N_ggas selling c_caine in my domain
I sneak up from the back and take you out with no pain
[Chorus (2Xs)]

Explore Blue Canyon
Added by David Frietz
Amazing views in a completely remote area. Walking around the area is easy and the reward are the most breathtaking colors and rock formations AZ has to offer.
To reach Blue Canyon you must head down AZ 264 until you reach Indian pass 7 or 6660, it's the same road, turn west. The turn is not marked, it is only noticeable by a cattle guard. GPS coordinates are 35°58'15.92"N 110°49'47.26"W. From here on out the road is dirt and high clearance vehicle is required. Do not attempt this road if there has been recent heavy rain or if there are possible high showers. Follow the road about 8 miles in. You will pass through a ravine or small canyon. Upon passing that point you will begin to see the multi-colored rock formations. Here you can pull off and explore and take photos. Best times are sunset and sunrise. To exit you can continue to follow Indian rt 7/6660 west which will lead to HW 160 or backtrack to AZ 264. Please respect the land and pack your trash out with you.

It is fairly easy to know which group of words qualifies to be given the grammatical name of a noun phrase if you know all the tricks involved.
The purpose of this tutorial is to show you one of the most important ways to identify a noun phrase in any English sentence. The secret words you are about to see are often seen at the beginning of noun phrases. So any time you see these noun phrase markers introducing a group of words, your grammar instincts should start flashing the noun-phrase green light.
Because you may be dealing with a noun phrase the moment you see these secret words at the beginning of a specified group of words in a sentence or passage.
The secret words I'm talking about are not secret in the real sense at all. They only become secret when it comes to identifying the grammatical name or function of an underlined or specified group of words.
Here are the three determiners or articles which must tell you that your group of words in very likely a noun phrase:
- A (also called indefinite article)
- An (also called indefinite article)
- The (also called definite article)
Now you know. Let's move straight ahead to look at some examples
- I had a busy day.
- She wore a beautiful dress.
- A great victory is sure to follow.
- A third lion attacked the village within as many weeks.
- It was an unfortunate incident.
- He bought an expensive pair of shoes.
- An avalanche came down the hills and destroyed everything we had built.
- An amazing experience awaits you.
- They saw the first two athletes as they crossed the line.
- Come over to the office complex this afternoon
- The main cause of poverty is lack of planning.
- The brightest star failed to shine last night.
All the groups of words in bold letters are noun phrases. How do I know? You may ask. Simple. Let me show you how simple it can really get to know that a group of words beginning with a/an/the is a noun phrase.
Three questions can help you to decide for certain if the grammatical name or function of your group of words is noun phrase.
- Question one
Is the group of words introduced by any of the above three noun phrase markers? Sure! In the examples above each group begins with a or an or the.
This is a very good pointer to the fact that the group of words must be a noun phrase. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT ENOUGH. The behaviour of words in the English sentence is very much unpredictable.
So, take your time and move to the next stage.
Please note:
I can assure you that with constant and regular practice all this becomes really easy.
- Question two
Can the group of words answer a what-question or a who-question? In other words, is the group of words referring to SOMETHING or SOMEBODY?
The answer with regards to all the above examples is again, YES.
Just look at this:
- I had a busy day.
Question: What did I have?
Answer: A busy day.
So, a busy day is referring to SOMETHING. For that matter, it is very likely a NOUN phrase.
Read also: The difference between a phrase and a clause
- Question three
Is the group of words performing one of these common functions of a noun, noun phrase and noun clause?
If you are not very clear about what the grammatical functions of a noun phrase are, just look out for my other tutorials on this subject.
For our purposes here, let's use this summarized list of the grammatical functions of a noun phrase.
Subject of the main verb in the sentence in question.
Look at this sentence from the list of examples:
- The brightest star failed to shine last night.
Obviously, THE BRIGHTEST STAR is functioning as the subject of the verb, FAILED in the sentence. That makes it more convincing that it is a noun phrase.
You may also like:
- WAEC Ghana Registration Fees for 2018 Nov-Dec WASSCE
- How WAEC set their WASSCE questions – 6 secrets you must know
Object of the main verb in the sentence
Look at this sentence too:
- She wore a beautiful dress.
A BEAUTIFUL DRESS is functioning as the OBJECT of the verb, WORE. That makes it a noun phrase, if we consider the other questions we asked earlier as well.
Complement of a linking verb or intensive verb.
- It was an unfortunate incident.
AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT is complement to the linking verb, WAS.
Complement of a preposition within a prepositional phrase.
Here is a good example for you:
- Come over to the office complex this afternoon.
As you can see, THE OFFICE COMPLEX is complementing the preposition, TO.
Considering the other guidelines we spoke about earlier, therefore, THE OFFICE COMPLEX, just like the rest is a noun phrase.
So, any group of words that is introduced by a, an or the is most likely a noun phrase.
Next time you are presented with any such group of words and asked to state its grammatical name and function, do not panic. Rather, do the following.
- Begin with the idea that it is most likely a noun phrase
- Then check to see whether it answers the what-question or who-question I told you about. Is it referring to SOMETHING or SOMEBODY? If yes, then you are on track to nailing it as a noun phrase.
- Finally, find out if it is performing any one of the commonest functions that nouns generally perform in a sentence: SUBJECT, OBJECT, COMPLEMENT OF A LINKING VERB and COMPLEMENT OF A PREPOSITION.
Now, if you are sure of the fact that it is performing any one of these grammatical functions of nouns, then rest assured that it is a noun phrase.
Give your answer as such and run away with all the marks.
Thank you and good luck.

COMPTON, CA – July 22, 2016 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – Greg Adler and Team 4 Wheel Parts are returning home to Southern California as the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series is set to thunder through legendary Glen Helen Raceway this weekend, July 23-24. After traveling to Tooele, Utah and Ensenada, Mexico for the most recent events, San Bernardino, California becomes the epicenter of off-road racing while Adler looks to capitalize on his past success at the narrow, technical course to catapult him back to the form that earned him a pair of trips to the podium earlier this season. And while the team has tackled the challenges that come with fine tuning his new 900HP Pro 4 truck, Adler has shown throughout the season that he has the equipment and the speed to run with the elite drivers in the series' marquee division.
"We had some success early in the season and picked up a couple of trophies from Lake Elsinore and Chandler," said Adler. "There's always going to be a learning curve the first year with a new truck, but we're qualifying strong and racing hard with the frontrunners. We know Glen Helen and have won here in the past so we're going to work to put everything together and get the #10 back to the podium in front of our home crowd."
Having hosted AMA Motocross championships for many years along with Grand Prix events and Ultra4 competitions as well as the Lucas Off Road Series, Glen Helen Raceway has cemented its legendary status as an icon of motorsports. This weekend's races, held under the lights on the purpose-built short course track, are expected to attract a capacity crowd from throughout the region. Many of those spectators will include employees from 4 Wheel Parts, the company Adler heads as CEO, which maintains a number of local retail stores in addition to its nearby corporate headquarters.
"Glen Helen is a fantastic facility with a rich history and although they have built a reputation for epic motocross events over the years, this race has become a key event on the short course calendar," said Adler. "Racing at night, with the lights and shadows, brings its own set of challenges, but it's a spectacular show for the fans. We're headed there driven to bring home a trophy for 4 Wheel Parts."
Saturday night, Adler will be among 14 series competitors who have volunteered to race in honor of the victims, survivors and families of the recent shootings in San Bernardino. As part of a special weekend dedication, the last names of each of the deceased will be worn on Adler's helmet as well as displaying a decal with the hashtag #SBStrong on his truck.
"I am humbled to have the opportunity to participate in this tribute to those lost along with the survivors of the tragedy in San Bernardino as the series comes together to recognize and honor this community and these heroes," said Adler.
Racing under the lights at Glen Helen kicks off with opening ceremonies at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Gates will open to the public at 2 p.m. and with an open paddock, spectators are encouraged to stop by and visit with Greg Adler and Team 4 Wheel Parts.

TCPA Amicus Brief; Pole Attachment Legislation; FCC Enforcement; FirstNet Meeting; New FAA Marking/Lighting Standards; Public Safety and Telecom Cybersecurity Summit
TCPA Amicus Brief
A diverse group of utility trade associations, including the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, the National Association of Water Companies, the American Gas Association, and the Edison Electric Institute, filed an Amicus Brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit supporting a challenge to the FCC's Declaratory Ruling and Order on the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) released in July. The associations argued that the FCC's interpretations subject utilities to unavoidable liability and stifle their ability to provide customers with timely information about billing shortages, power outages, and the like.
Pole Attachment Legislation
The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Communications and Technology voted unanimously last week to send a "Discussion Draft" of an as-yet untitled bill to the full Committee which includes, among other things, a number of pole attachment provisions unfavorable to electric utility pole owners. A copy of the Discussion Draft is available on the Committee's website.
FCC Enforcement
Last week, the FCC's Enforcement Bureau released a Forfeiture Order imposing a $25,000 penalty against Mobile Relay Associates (MRA) for causing harmful interference to another licensee in the Los Angeles area. The FCC's Order found that one of MRA's Private Land Mobile VHF stations failed to restrict its transmissions to the minimum practical transmission time and was not monitoring the frequencies or taking reasonable precautions to avoid causing harmful interference to other licensees. . MRA's license authorizes use of a trunked system. In its response, MRA stated it was simply engaged in "heavy usage" of shared frequencies, but the FCC's Los Angeles Field Office found MRA failed to operate using trunked technology due to its operation of the frequencies in a nearly continuous mode.
FirstNet Meeting
The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) announced it will hold open meetings of its Governance and Personnel, Finance, Technology, and Consultation and Outreach Committees on December 8 in Houston, Texas. The following day, the full Board will meet and hold a public session from 1:00-3:00 p.m., including a presentation by the Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC). It is expected that the PSAC will address issues related to priority access and preemption.
New FAA Marking/Lighting Standards
The FAA released Circular Advisory 70/7460-1L last week, updating several marking and lighting requirements for tower owners. The new Advisory Circular includes a change in structure height for towers deemed "obstructions," new standards for meteorological evaluation towers, and new lighting standards aimed at reducing the impact on migratory birds.
Public Safety and Telecom Cybersecurity Summit
The FCC announced the agenda for a Public Safety and Cybersecurity summit co-hosted by the FCC and the Regents of the University of Colorado. The day-long summit consists of various panels of stakeholders from Critical Industry, academic, and government entities. The forum is free of charge and open to the public and will take place today at UC Boulder. A recording of the event will be made available at a later date.

Is your campus making increased use of cloud-based services? Are you cau= ght between the poles of giving people new credentials for every new servic= e, and not knowing where to start on the technical and policy issues relate= d to deploying a federated infrastructure that would allow SSO? Are you int= erested in accessing this type of framework but have experienced hurdles de= ploying Shibboleth?=20
InCommon's Alternative IdPs (Identity Providers) Working Group is seekin= g to increase participation within InCommon by identifying alternatives for= making IdP deployment easier. Examples of such alternatives include outsou= rcing and alternative technical platforms, such as Microsoft's ADFS. We are= looking for representatives who are interested in identifying what the pro= blems are and developing recommendations that would work for them. Examples= of problems may be a lack of the technical or staff resources needed to st= and up and maintain a locally run IdP, or a management or governance system= that presents difficulties.=20
The Group is also looking for InCommon Affiliates that provide identity = services and who have worked with campuses on hosted solutions.=20
Instead of being focused solely on technical answers, the Group will foc= us on the implications of pursuing alternative approaches to standing up an= IDP. It will also outline the problems a solution solves and what problems= it may create.=20

The Dark Matter EZX features two kits from the Death & Darkness SDX, mix-ready and tailored for metal, hardcore and heavy rock optimal for any material that calls for drums of the unfriendly kind: ghastly, dark, raw and unpolished.
Recorded in the empty swimming pool drum room in legendary Antfarm Studio by Tue Madsen, this collection of drums has an overall tone unlike any other. The hard, reflective surface of the pools tile floor and walls combined with the surrounding rooms brick structure make for an ambience that is bright but still deep and loud yet still menacingly soothing.
Welcome to a collection of drum sounds so real that they burrow deep into the very fabric of reality and permeate the sense of space, mind and self with utter darkness.

Globalization in Asia
Habermas And Derrida In China
In April 2001 Habermas toured China, speaking on various topics, including globalization and communicative rationality. China is intrigued with his Weberian-inspired views on value rationality and instrumental (purposive) rationality, that is, in the relationship between the ends themselves and the means to ends in both economic and social actions. What distinguishes Habermas from Max Weber is a focus on the universality of communicative action within internationally sensitive lifeworlds. In debate with Habermas, Tong Shijun, a leading philosopher, characterizes China's discourse on modernity as composed of several stages: (1) the early twentieth century creation of science and democracy, (2) the later twentieth century socialist model, and (3) the early-twenty-first century discussion on market economies and legal systems (p. 82). Tong utilizes an ancient Chinese polarity of ti (substance, body, ground) and yong (function, use, manifestation) to compare with Habermas: ti as value rationality and yong as instrumental rationality. The relation between an object and its movement, the nature of a thing and its expression, a moral principle and its application is the connection of ti and yong. Closely related to these pairings are dao (way) and qi (instrument). In the nineteenth century Qing bureaucrats referred to the slogan "Chinese learning as ti or substance and Western learning as yong or function" (Tong, p. 82). These pairings might neatly compare with Gu Mu's dictum for Chinese views of globalization: Eastern on the inside and Western on the outside. In dialogue with Western thinkers such as Habermas, the Chinese pairings help grapple with everyday interactive decisions of the lifeworld over and against the global compulsions of economic, political, social, and philosophical systems.
In September 2001 Derrida completed a similar tour. Chinese intellectuals discussed his "specters of Marx" theory that still holds transformational possibilities. Although Chinese Marxist scholars primarily view globalization as an economic moment in the continuing internationalization of capitalist modes of production, they are also concerned with cultural consequences. Derrida's multicultural approach to law, language, and society might help the Chinese form a New International that addresses the homogenization of global economics by way of a participatory response of cultural difference and diversity. China can be in globalization without completely being of globalization. Chinese scholars look for universal value in globalization beyond obvious hegemonic implications. Derrida agrees that there are many confusing debates around globalization because of "a certain transparence and with the appearance of liberal exchange" (Zhang Ning, p. 160), while forms of monopoly march forward. China's awareness of these trends and continued participation in the discourse on globalization can profit from European philosophers (including postmodernists) as a complement to North American thinkers.

NGT transfers pleas on oil spill off Tamil Nadu coast
The National Green Tribunal today transferred to its Southern Bench two pleas seeking compensation to people affected by the recent oil spill off the coast of Tamil Nadu.
Published: 07th February 2017 05:21 PM | Last Updated: 07th February 2017 05:21 PM | A+A A-
NEW DELHI: The National Green Tribunal today transferred to its Southern Bench two pleas seeking compensation to people affected by the recent oil spill off the coast of Tamil Nadu and seizure of the vessels involved.
The Principal Bench headed by NGT Chairperson Swatanter Kumar transferred the petitions filed here to its Southern Bench in Chennai while noting that a similar plea is already pending there.
"We would have considered it but the Southern Bench has already taken cognisance of the matter and the issue is pending before it," the bench said, adding it would not be appropriate for it to interfere in it.
"We do not consider that this matter should be dealt with by the Principal Bench as it is already being heard by the Southern Bench. These petitions are transferred to the Southern Bench and it be listed there for February 20," it said.
The tribunal said the Southern bench should also consider the petitioners' plea seeking compensation.
The bench had yesterday issued notice to the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), the central and state pollution control boards, the Ministry of Shipping and the Tamil Nadu government through its chief secretary and sought its response by today.
The petitions has sought constitution of an expert committee to oversee and monitor the entire clean up process and assess the damage caused to the environment.
"The fish and all the other aquatic animals have become victims of the widespread disaster caused by the two vessels as a result of their negligence," the plea filed by one petitioner Ashwini Kumar through advocate Sumeer Sodhi said.
In another plea, the counsel has sought a direction to the authorities to follow national and international protocol in dealing with the disaster.
The petitions have also made parties the owners of the offending ships, including Gurgaon-based Tokio Marine Holdings Inc.
On January 28, 2017, two merchant vessels -- MV Maple Galaxy, owned by Tokio Marine Holding Inc. and under charter party contract with Indian Oil Corporation, collided with vessel MT Dawn Kanchipuram, operated by unknown persons near the Port of Kamarajar in Ennore, Tamil Nadu. The collision led to a massive spill of hazardous oil and LPG near the shoreline "causing severe damage to the ecosystem in the area and which will eventually become toxic for marine life in and around the place of incident and further result in health and other damage to the residents of the vicinity," one of the pleas has said.

Cycle lane to be shared with pedestrians in Phoenix park
Recently on my morning commute I noticed "Cycle lane closed" signs in the Phoenix Park. Engineers had been installing lights to light up the bicycle path along Chesterfield Avenue over the last week. The lights have been installed for the dark evenings to enable families alighting from their cars parked along Chesterfield Avenue to walk along the segregated Cycle Path to the Wild Lights festival in Dublin Zoo. This festival only opens after 5pm in the evening and it looks magical and definitely worth visiting!
Unfortunately, there was no prior public notice published of this evening closure of the inbound cycle lane for this event which will be held from this evening Friday 03 Nov 2017 and every Friday, Saturdays & Sunday in November, and seven days a week in December (except for 24th, 25th & 26th Dec. approx) and for the first week in January. The temporary bike track closure only applies on the section between the Phoenix Monument in the centre of the Park, and the Dublin Zoo boundary, and only applies from 5pm to approximately 10pm . Outbound evening cycle commuters will not be affected as the outbound segregated cycle track remains open for the duration. Morning commuters and daytime cyclists will be unaffected.
Paul McDonnell the Superintendent of the Phoenix Park contacted Dublin Cycling Campaign, after we highlighted the closing of cycling lanes and issues with potential conflicts. The OPW will now have Park Rangers warning pedestrians about potential oncoming cyclists along the segregated Bike Track and warning cyclists to be cautious while cycling along this segregated cycle lane from next week. Unfortunately there was no engagement with the cycling community before the closures commenced. This is regrettable, but is not the first time that Phoenix Park Management have been slow to move on cycle related issues. We are happy that the Park Management have now begun to engage, and we have sought an Event Safety Management Plan from them, which should cover this issue of increased potential cyclist/pedestrain conflict.
Please take care if you are using this inbound Cycle Track after dark over the next few weeks and maybe let us know if you get to attend the Wild Lights festival if it was all worth it!?

In the high stakes battle for skilled workers across the nation, San Diego's technology sector may have a secret weapon — loads of millennials.
About 24.3 percent of the San Diego metropolitan area were millennials in mid-year 2018, the third highest of any of the 25 tech cities studied in a new report from real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield.
The firm's Tech Cities 2.0 report focused on the top areas for tech growth, seen as a main driver of economic growth in North America, and ranked regions against each other based on several factors. Out of all cities in the report, San Diego had the ninth highest percentage of tech jobs when looking at the overall employment makeup. But the city fell behind San Francisco, Boston, Seattle and others by most other measures, including tech job growth over time.
Yet Robert Sammons, senior director of research for Cushman & Wakefield, said the millennial population could be a significant factor for future growth.
"It already has that young workforce, which tech companies crave," he said.
The city's millennial population also appears to be more educated than cities of similar size and makeup, said Mark Cafferty, president and CEO of The San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp, or EDC. In a 2016 EDC study, the city had the second-highest growth rate of degree-holding millennials when compared to peer cities — surpassed only by Austin, Texas.

Perez's 1-hitter lifts Alexander in rematch with McAllen
Recommended Video:
Alexander is halfway to avenging last year's elimination opening its third-round rematch against No. 6 McAllen with a 3-1 victory Friday night in Roma led by a one-hitter from Marcelo Perez in a battle of the Bulldogs.
"It's really important for us to get that win in Game 1," Alexander head coach Fernando Lemus said. "Marcelo pitched really well, and we just wanted to score some runs and give him some run support."
Alexander (23-9, 10-4 District 29-6A) is attempting to get back into the fourth round for the fourth time in five seasons and the sixth time in its eight straight trips to the regional quarterfinals. McAllen (29-4-1, 12-0 District 30-6A) made it to the fourth round last year with its elimination of the Bulldogs and needs two wins Saturday to get back.
Perez took a no-hitter into the sixth inning Friday before Aaron Nixon led off with a single. Perez held McAllen to an unearned run, one hit, four walks and a hit batter with nine strikeouts in a complete-game effort. He was also part of a one-hitter in district play this season combining with Albert Gonzalez for the feat in a 1-0 win in eight innings over South San on March 20.
"It's probably one of the best games he's pitched all year," Lemus said. "He was on tonight. He did a phenomenal job of keeping those guys at bay. He did an incredible job for us today."
The only threat Perez faced early was issuing two walks to open the bottom of the second inning. The runners moved up on a one-out groundout, but he stranded them there with his second strikeout of the inning. After Nixon's lead-off hit in the sixth, he scored off on error on a ball hit deep into left field for McAllen's only run. Robbie Maldonado reached second on the error but was caught stealing third to end the inning. Through two starts and three appearances in the playoffs, Perez has 19 strikeouts in 14 innings while allowing only six hits, seven walks and one earned run.
The one hit matched a season low for McAllen set in its lone loss of the regular season when it fell 1-0 against Corpus Christi Moody. The only other non-victory of the regular season was a 1-1 tie with Canyon where the Bulldogs were held to two hits, and they have recorded at least five in every other outing. After entering the playoffs with only one loss, they have recorded one in each series of the playoffs. Alexander is already a step above last season when it was swept with 6-1 and 13-1 losses in the third round.
Alexander generated all the offense it needed with a two-out rally in the top of the second inning. Andres Santos reached on an error to extend the inning, Sergio Galvan followed with a single and Jorge Gonzalez drew a walk to load the bases. After striking out to lead off the game, Joel Hinojosa came through with a single to drive in two runs. It was his first hit of the postseason and fourth time getting on base after reaching with a walk and two errors in the first round.
"He is one of our workhorses," Lemus said. "He's like a little general out there. He takes charge. I'm really happy for him."
Jorge Gonzalez added an insurance run in the fifth inning after leading off with a single and advancing on a sacrifice bunt from Hinojosa. He advanced to third on a single from Luis Villarreal and scored on a sacrifice fly into left field from Perez.
Abanny Garcia suffered his first loss of the season despite allowing only one earned run and recording nine strikeouts in a complete-game effort. He fell to 8-1 while holding Alexander to six hits and one walk. Nixon (7-2, 0.91 ERA) and Maldonado (2-1, 3.00 ERA) will be available for McAllen Saturday.
Alexander will attempt to close out the series at noon Saturday in Roma. Albert Gonzalez will attempt to extend his unbeaten postseason run. He is 2-0 while recording 12 strikeouts in 13.2 innings and holding opponents to nine hits, five walks and one run. Game 3 will be 30 minutes after with necessary and Paco Hernandez would be due up in the rotation.
"We're taking it one game at a time," Lemus said. "We have Albert going in Game 2. Hopefully we can repeat what we did today with our pitching, our defense and a little bit of clutch hitting here and there."

I work with the Aurix MUC, I tried to read the contents of the memory after the execution of a program, to see what he wrote in the memoir
I noticed that when I use a global variable in a function, the new value of this global variable after processing in the function, is not written in memory.
Here is an example:
int a = 100;
void plus (int a)
a = a + 17;
int main (void)
return 0;
when I display the contents of the memory I find the value 100 of a
and I do not find the new value of a which is normally 117.
I tried to declare the variable a as volatile, but it does not change anything
on the other hand if I do the calculation directly in the main like this
int a = 100;
int main (void)
a = a + 17
return 0;
like that I find the value 117 in the memory.
so I need to understand where are there save variables values used in the call functions?
and why the new variable of a is not written in memory,
and why the variables declared in local are not also written in the memory?

Bilingualism in the last 30 years: Research & Applications in Working with ELL/LLD students
Dear Readers: I have decided that my November column will include the presentation that I will be making at ASHA in Boston with my mentor Dr. Paula Menyuk from Boston University and some of my colleagues who received their degrees about the same time as I did (about 30 years ago)! The title of our presentation is (R)Evolutions in Linkages between Research on language Development and Disabilities. Each presenter will focus on a specific area such as phonology, language-learning disabilities, fluency, autism, deafness, and sign language, and my charge is to present on issues related to bilingualism.

Ideas for Professional Growth
A Personal Note:I received my doctoral degree in the field of psycholinguistics and special education including all requirements to be a certified Speech Language Pathologist almost 30 years ago (1977). If I had not "kept up" with the trends and waves of the profession, I could not have qualified to join the faculty of a training institution 8 years ago. Upon completing my doctoral degree, I moved to a different state and, regrettably, I was unable to find a teaching job in higher education. Even though it was discouraging at first, I decided to focus and develop my areas of interest (bilingualism and language learning disabilities) while trying to keep up with the evolution of profession. In those days, Continuation Education Certificates were available through ASHA but they were not mandatory to maintain certification or licensure. For 20 years prior to my academic appointment, I continued to learn and gain new knowledge in the field through multiple avenues that included attending conferences, reading journals and books, participating in research projects with other colleagues, writing, offering workshops in my area of expertise as well lecturing at local universities.

I have never gotten this excited watching professional sports before.
The Europe LCS (league of Legends Championship Series) semi-finals were today, and one of my favorite teams was playing for a chance to make it to the finals. Naturally, I tuned in and watched the best of 5 series play out. First game won, second game lost. Third game won, fourth game lost. It was truly a spectacle to watch them play. Come round five a friend of mine happened to be on Skype, rooting for the opposing team.
The team I was rooting for had fallen behind, but was slowly making a comeback. A fight was lost, a fight was won, miracles happened, and they ended up winning the game. My friend now hates me, but I was truly happy to see the team I was standing behind succeed. And that's something I'd never really experienced this intensely before.
Whenever people got way excited about the soccer world championship or whatever, I'd never understand it. How could you get so passionate about a bunch of folks playing a game? Well, now I do. Of course soccer still isn't my thing, but the same principle applies.
To be honest I doubt their chances in the final are very big, but I'm looking forward to watching them play anyway.

Unfortunately, since so little is published on these guys, much of what is below is based off of the better known Sphenodon punctatus
This technique works well for burrows where insects and the occasional stray bird or lizard may end up, but adults also actively forage for eggs and chicks.Tuataras are night hunters and probably sneak up on unsuspecting sea birds while they are sleeping. They can withstand very low temperatures and are able to tolerate temps as low as 70C (450F).
Young individuals are more active than adults and prefer the day time. They are more the foraging type when it comes to food. Their wary and speedy nature also make them hard to observe.
If he, instead, attracts the unwanted attention of a male, then a territorial battle ensue. The male will first increase his size by laterally compressing his trunk while inflating his neck and elevating his crests. The males stand about 1 meter apart from one another with their heads facing away from each other and mouths agape. Then each male will begin snapping his mouth shut in an attempt to frighten off the rival. If this does not work then a fight will ensue.Lizards are spunky fighters when pressed and tuataras, being their close relatives, seem to be as well. In a fight, the males will lock their jaws onto each other and begin scuffling on the ground. Dirt and leaves will be thrown up, the males will emit croaking sounds and the two may even flip each other over in the process. Only after one male gives up does the fight stop. And it takes a lot for a male to give up. Broken or missing toes, jaws and tails are not uncommon.
Eventually a female gets enticed by a male. At which point the male will begin slowly circling her using a stiff legged walk. He may do this for 20 minutes or more. He will only stop when the female either lets him mount her or rushes down a burrow.If she lets him mount her, the male will then align their tails together. Using his back legs he will move her tail out of the way and place their cloacas or vents together where sperm will then be introduced.
After the initial mating the female will hold off until spring at which point her and many other females will get together at communal nesting sites in the sunnier portions of the islands. She will then dig several trial holes until she is satisfied with the right one. After her approval of her hole, she will then lay her clutch of up to 19 soft shelled eggs (although 7-10 is more normal). Several more nights are spent filling and then guarding the hole where the eggs are. Only after every female has laid will she leave.She won't mate again for four more years.
Tuataras have the longest incubation cycle of any reptile 12-15 months of incubation time. This is partly due to the egg's shutting down during the colder months.
They are one of the slowest growing reptiles and are believed to attain ages of 70+ years. This is equal to the lifespans of 3-4 lizards of similar size combined.

It was slightly unsettling this lunchtime to see the children just staring up at the spooky, apocalyptic sky with its unnerving red sun. They had all sorts of theories…from an imminent zombie invasion, God's anger, Mars coming into orbit, or a ghost moon! Children's imaginations are just amazing, thriving on the wonders around them. The late Sir Terry Pratchett used to write about 'inspiration particles' in his Discworld novels, and it's as if the lunchtime sky today was filled with them!
Here is a link to some scientific information, courtesy of the BBC, should you wish to discuss other factors behind this phenomenon with your children.

• There are 14 Fords participating in the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway.
• Ford has fared well at Kansas Speedway since the first race in 2001, claiming victory three times.
• The Ford Chase duo of Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in the June race at Kansas Speedway.
• Greg Biffle is the most recent Ford winner at Kansas, taking the checkered flag in the 2010 fall race.
• Biffle also set the race record at Kansas last season running at 138.077 mph (2:54:02).
• Biffle, Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon are the only two time winners at Kansas.
• Matt Kenseth holds the qualifying record at the track with a lap of 180.856 mph (29.858 sec) in 2005.
• Edwards has posted six top-10 finishes in eight career races at Kansas including a runner-up performance in 2008.
• Ford owner Jack Roush is tied with Rick Hendrick with three wins each at Kansas.
Matt Kenseth, driver of the No. 17 Crown Royal Ford Fusion, is currently in seventh place in the Chase, 14 points behind co-leaders Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards. Kenseth met with media members Friday at Kansas Speedway prior to the opening practice session.
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE CHASE THUS FAR AND COMING TO KANSAS THIS WEEKEND? "It has been good so far for us from a performance standpoint. We have been pretty fast and had top-five cars all three weeks with pretty good finishes the last two weeks. So far it has been alright."
THE MEDIA LIKES TO CALL THE CHASE AFTER TWO RACES BUT WE SAW AFTER DOVER THAT IT IS STILL WIDE OPEN. DO YOU GUYS PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU READ OR SEE ON TV? "No, not a lot. Last week I went in and everybody was asking and saying that Jimmie was out of it. I was thinking that he had won the last however many Dover races. I thought that was interesting because you can have some pretty wild point swings. The farther you get down the road you can start looking at it and see who you think is more legitimate than others but there are a lot of cars really close right now. I think it is pretty early to be eliminating anybody."
DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE BE BETTER ANYWHERE SPECIFICALLY OR DO YOU HOPE TO MAINTAIN WHERE YOU ARE AT? "I think our car performance I have been super happy with the first three races. We haven't finished those three races, really any of them except maybe New Hampshire, to our best run or our potential for that day. I think Chicago we were on the pole and led a bit and we were on the lead the last restart but had to slow down because we were running out of gas and we still ran out. I think we would have had a top-three there. If a caution would have came out five laps later so we could have all made it on fuel then I think we would have had a top-three without something weird going on. New Hampshire was a good run and finish for us. Dover, there was one run there where we had the best car by far and ran Jimmie down and for whatever reason we changed tires and got behind and finished fifth. I am really encouraged with how we've run. We have to improve on finishing it off a little better. Whatever our best run of the day is and best stop and best restart and performance needs to be the last run of the day. We need to get the finishes a little bit better."
WHEN DO YOU GET TO A POINT WHERE PEOPLE START GETTING ELIMINATED AND IT BECOMES CRUCIAL THAT TEAMS THAT ARE SITTING FIFTH, SIXTH, SEVENTH, EIGHTH NEED TO STEP IT UP? "I have to be honest; I haven't really looked at it. For me, I take one race at a time and try to get my car running as fast as it can and get the best finish I can that week. I am not really worried about what everyone else is doing. All you can do is control your own car and your own team and to a certain extent, most of the time, the outcome of that race for your efforts. I don't worry about that yet until you are mathematically eliminated or almost mathematically eliminated I think you feel like you have a shot because you don't know what can happen. I think Chicago is a perfect example. It is a pretty normal track like this and a pretty normal race but the way the caution fell and not having another caution, a lot of the guys that ran really good got really poor finishes because of fuel. Some guys you didn't see all day and probably ran in the bottom half of the teens got great finishes and moved up in the point. You don't know what can happen. You can have pretty big swings and a lot of strange things have happened before."
IS THERE A POINT THAT YOU LOOK AT MAYBE THE TOP FOUR OR FIVE AND SAY THAT IT IS CRUNCH TIME NOW? "I think it is always time to go. I don't think you take any of the races off or be like, 'Well, it isn't a big deal. It is still early.' Every point in every race is equally important. I am sure that the farther you get down the road you can look at people, I hope I am not one of them, but you can look at cars and see how many points they are behind and you can probably pretty much put them out barring a miracle. Especially the more cars that are in front of you. It is hard to make up points on more than a few cars. I think it is still pretty darn close and I think it will stay pretty close for awhile. You never know what is going to happen."
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT CARL BEING THE POINTS LEADER, BEING YOUR TEAMMATE AND WHAT YOU ARE SEEING OUT OF THAT TEAM RIGHT NOW? "Carl has ran pretty well. I don't think he has ran much better than us, just off of performance. I think we passed him three times at New Hampshire and Chicago I think we ran better and we ran out of gas and he didn't. Dover he ran a little better most of the race. I think we have ran about the same but Carl has been able to get all the finishes. The main reason he got the finish at Chicago is that he was back farther in the field and able to save gas closer to the end. That is important. You have to be good at all aspects of it these days. That didn't used to come into play a lot but it has recently. You have to have the performance and economy when you need it and pit strategy when you need it. They have been pretty rock solid all year and in position to win a lot of races and up front in a lot of races. I think they are one of the guys you have to think about."
YOU GUYS USED TO GET CONCUSSIONS ALL THE TIME BUT WE HAVEN'T SEE THAT MUCH LATELY. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GOT A CONCUSSION DRIVING? "What did you say? I forgot. (laughter) I am kidding. Thanks for bringing that up. I don't know. Knock on wood but I hope nobody has that bad luck, including me now that you brought it up. I have never had one to my knowledge. Not yet."
HOW DO YOU LIKE THE PACKERS CHANCES AT ATLANTA THIS WEEKEND? "Oh, I thought you were going to ask me if my hammy was okay. If I pulled a hammy running up here or something. (laughter) Packers, gosh, they are one of the only 4-0 team. Who would have thought the Lions would be the other one. It has always been fun being a Packers fan, especially the last few years as good as they have been playing. I hope I will get to see most of the game on Sunday night. I look forward to checking that out. Them going to Atlanta I think will be a high scoring game and indoors Rodgers seems to be able to light it up pretty good."
CAN YOU COMMENT ON PHOENIX AND YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF HAVING AN ALTERED TRACK AS THE NEXT TO LAST RACE IN THE CHASE? "I think it is the same for everybody but the configuration is pretty nice. They did an excellent job of paving it. It is really smooth and pit road is really nice. The only thing that concerns you is that when we start out on track it was so dirty you could run a 30-flat and by the time we were done we were running 26-flats basically. If you got out of the groove at all you were pretty much going to wreck. I don't know what they did but it is just so dusty and dirty, I almost hope they get that big Texas tire monster or something and run it around the outside before we get there and get that stuff run out of the pavement. Hopefully by the time they run the support races and we get all the practice it will widen out so you can get two grooves. The entries especially and the exit of four is really narrow. You can't get up out of that at all. Once it burns in and everything I think it will be nice. They did a nice job with it."
RUNNING TWO RACE HERE THIS YEAR. WILL THIS RACE BE VASTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST RACE HERE OR WILL YOU USE STUFF YOU USED HERE LAST TIME TO TRANSFER TO THIS RACE? "I don't see any reason why it would be a lot different. I don't think there have been a lot of changes. I don't know that the weather is that much different and it hasn't been long since we ran here. We have the same tire and all that stuff. I don't expect it to be a lot different. Usually here and Chicago and some of those tracks that you race once a year at you pretty much forget the last time and show up there and kind of start over because it has been so long and so many things change. I don't expect it to be a lot different."
WHAT DOES YOUR RACE TEAM DO, AND WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE DONE BY NASCAR TO ATTRACT MORE OF A COLLEGE AGED CROWD? "Well, not that I don't worry about it but it isn't something that me and my race team worry about. We are just focused on trying to get that car to go fast and try to win and run for this championship and that has us about maxed out. I don't know what they do to try to attract that crowd. I see a lot of younger guys that go to the race. My son is a freshman at Clemson and he has a lot of buddies there that are race fans and they all tried to go to Atlanta, of course it rained out. I think there is a lot of interest there. The little bit that I have been around there, he has a lot of buddies there and knows a lot of people that are races fans there that enjoy watching it."
WHAT ABOUT TWEETING. I'VE HEARD SOME IN NASCAR SUGGEST THAT SONS OF DRIVERS TWEETING ABOUT THE SPORT MIGHT BE A WAY TO GAIN ATTENTION OF YOUNGER FOLLOWERS. DOES MATT HAVE A TWITTER ACCOUNT? "Matt does and Ross does too. He does tweet. But like I said that is kind of a promoters job to figure that out too and NASCAR and everybody else and certainly they have meetings and suggestions of how you can reach out to the fans better or you can get more people interested or keep the people happy that you have and all of that. We always listen to that and try to do what we think is the best for the sport to get people interested in the sport, watch it and come out to the track and be part of that."

- Following numerous public complaints regarding poor quality of communication services experienced at certain locations and times within Ghana, the National Communications Authority (NCA) has intensified its monitoring and evaluation and set out clear compliance guidelines for the sector. Deadlines have been issued to all operators to remedy all quality of service impediments by the close of July this year, failure of which the NCA will apply in full all the requisite sanctions.
- In its continuous effort to clean up the telecommunication sector, Benin's new Minister of ICT, Désiré Adadja has reaffirmed that the change of name/ownership of mobile operators Moov and Areeba has been suspended until both companies have provided the relevant documentation for their licence. Nevertheless, Areeba has carried on advertising the change to MTN all over the country.
- The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced a tender for existing Nigerian telecoms licensees to bid for a 3.75MHz allocation in the 800MHz spectrum band covering 26 states and the Federal Capital Territory. The spectrum is being offered by the NCC on a technology neutral basis. The reserve price for the frequencies has been set at NGN400 million (USD3.2 million) and the concession will be valid for a period of five years in the first instance. Based on the number of companies that have already indicated interest for spectrum in the 800MHz band, the NCC has decided to hold an auction. The deadline for the submission of bid applications and an 'intention to bid' deposit of NGN40 million is 9 July 2007. The auction itself is slated for 17 July.
- According to Gabonnews, senior civil servants have met to analyse Gabon Telecom's and its mobile subsidiary Libertis latest financial accounts prior to its privatisation. Since the privatisation of the company in February 2007 and the purchase of a 51% stake in the company by Maroc Telecom, Gabon Telecom has come under the fire of local media which have questioned the privatisation process and revealed mismanagement cases by the previous management team of the company.

My research deals with the development of mathematical tools to characterise the organisational principles and dynamical properties of networked complex systems. These systems range in a wide variety of environments and include, but are not limited to, ecological, social, infrastructural, and biological systems. I also investigate the mathematical properties of molecular systems including drugs, new carbon allotropes and macro-molecular systems such as proteins and their interactions.
I left Cuba in 1999 when my daughter Gissell was seven years old.

Partnerships, Pipeline Put Inovio in Good Position
Thursday, August 9, 2018
CEO: Joseph Kim
Revenue: $42.2 million in 2017 and $35.4 million in 2016
Local employee count: 165
Headquarters: Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania
Stock symbol and exchange: INO on Nasdaq
Company description: Inovio's lead drug candidate is designed to treat without surgery precancerous cervical lesions and cervix infection brought on by HPV, or human papillomavirus. The company has a large drug pipeline.
San Diego Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc. has about 300 employees, tenfold that of 2009. Most of the scaling up occurred in the last few years to support a growing pipeline of therapies targeting cancers and infectious diseases.
The majority of employees are in San Diego — 165 to be precise — but the company is based in Pennsylvania. Which explains why, CEO Joseph Kim said, Inovio flies under the radar locally.
But Inovio is one to watch, on account of recently inked deals, programs aimed at diseases like Zika and a drug in a pivotal trial that the company hopes will be its first approved therapy.
"We have a very strong pipeline and a lot of catalysts in the next 12 to 18 months," said Kim, standing in the company's manufacturing facility, part of its office in Sorrento Valley.
In Final-Stage Clinical Trial
Much rides on VGX-3100, which would be the first to treat without surgery precancerous cervical lesions and cervix infection brought on by HPV, or human papillomavirus. It's in a final-stage clinical trial.
The most common sexually transmitted infection, HPV can come and go without harm, but in some cases leads to cancer.
VGX-3100 is paired with a medical device, which coaxes the company's DNA-based products through cell membranes. A need for such technology brought the company to San Diego.
Inovio, previously VGX Pharmaceuticals, through a merger with San Diego's Inovio Biomedical Corp. in 2008 gained intellectual property at the core of its Cellectra 5PSP immunotherapy delivery device. The device bears resemblance to a ray gun found in futuristic movies, while the company has a pen-sized device for vaccines.
Bicoastal Advantage
Rather than put the company under one roof, Inovio opted for bicoastal, which Kim said helps the company draw the best East Coast and West Coast talent.
The arrangement was tested in 2016, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration slapped VGX-3100 with a clinical hold prior to starting its phase 3 trial. Regulators questioned the shelf life of Cellectra 5PSP and requested more data.
Kim called the event an all hands-on affair, complete with late nights and working on holidays. Close company collaboration, he said, lifted the hold last year — and the company has made up much of the time lost by the delay.
"Our goal was to get off hold the first time, which we were able to do," he said. "Working together brought the company together even further."
In 2020, the company expects to report VGX-3100 results. The candidate is the most significant valuation driver in the company's portfolio, given a fairly large market with sparse competition.
Caution Over Combo Therapies
That was the take of Gregory Renza, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets. While bullish on the company's stock, he noted others' recent failures in combo therapies — a category that includes Inovio — have given investors pause.
Still, he said an expansive pipeline provides plenty of "shots on goal." Also in development are phase 2 programs targeting head and neck cancer, bladder cancer and glioblastoma — along with various vaccines.
"You can spread the risk in your portfolio by focusing on a variety of therapeutic areas," Renza said, calling 2018 an execution year, and much will be revealed over the next 18 months.
Besides what's coming, Kim pointed out a slew of partnerships in recent years, including with Genentech, Regeneron, Medimmune and ApolloBio. So, Inovio took in some revenue while hoping for bigger bucks from drug sales.
In March, the company reported $42.2 million in 2017 revenue, up from $35.4 million in 2016.
Beijing biotech ApolloBio gained exclusive rights to VGX-3100 in greater China through a licensing deal valued at $43 million, finalized in March. This places Inovio alongside San Diego biotechs gaining a foothold in China via partnerships, following friendlier Chinese regulations.
In 2015, AstraZeneca subsidiary Medimmune and Inovio agreed to a development deal worth up to $727 million, centering on cancer vaccine candidates.
The company has also hauled in grant and government dollars, as a result of vaccines in development, an area out of fashion with big pharma. But Inovio believes its platform is uniquely positioned to unlock treatments.
DARPA $45M Contract
Of note, the company in 2015 won a $45 million contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop products and a DNA-based vaccine against Ebola.
In April it was announced Inovio could earn up to $56 million for the treatment of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, and Lassa fever.
Early data for the company's Zika vaccine has shown promise, putting the company at the forefront of efforts to prevent future outbreaks.
The company holds more than 1,000 patents, spanning drug development and medical devices. As an added advantage of the company's medical devices, Kim said the technology broadens and extends the company's intellectual property.
"We have 20 years of patent protection for each filing. Not only would the generic competition have to replicate our biologic products, but would need a similar delivery system, and we've pretty much cornered the market on in vivo delivery of DNA using this technology."
Kim previously developed vaccines for Merck & Co.
An immunologist by training, he holds an MIT undergraduate degree, a Ph.D. in biochemical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from The Wharton School.
Sink or Swim
Born in Korea, Kim came to the U.S. at 11 years old, only knowing three words of English. The experience taught him to be entrepreneurial.
"It was a great experience of sink or swim. It was being totally immersed," he said.
Now Inovio finds itself in new territory: knocking on the door of commercialization. Motioning toward empty space in a manufacturing room, Kim said there's room to grow.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story had the incorrect company name for Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc. It has been updated to reflect the correct name.
