Plexxi and SolidFire deliver SDN-storage integration
With their SDN-storage integration, Plexxi and SolidFire enable converged storage on the data center network.
SDN vendor Plexxi has integrated its Affinity Networking technology with solid-state storage array vendor SolidFire so users can simultaneously optimize network flows and apply Quality of Service to storage traffic on a converged network.
SolidFire specializes in delivering Quality of service (QoS) on the IOPS side of its distributed, solid-state disk (SSD) arrays, but that only "speaks to the read-write times on the storage piece," said Mat Mathews, co-founder and vice president of product management for Plexxi. "The other half of the equation is the transport of that traffic across the network."
Plexxi and SolidFire's SDN-storage integration is at the application programming interface (API) level. Plexxi and SolidFire engineers connected their northbound APIs within five hours -- work that customers could do themselves, Mathews said. But Plexxi and SolidFire wanted to create an integration that was easily applied across all their joint customers. Network operators can use Plexxi's SDN controller integration with orchestration and virtualization management systems to automatically configure network connectivity and establish QoS for iSCSI storage traffic generated by SolidFire arrays.
"Plexxi can understand what the requirements are for different levels of storage capabilities and make sure the transport across the network meets those needs, as well," Mathews said.
With Plexxi's controller able to define routes and QoS for iSCSI traffic, customers will be able to run storage and data traffic on one converged network, Mathews said.
"The point of iSCSI was to make the transport piece relatively easy over existing infrastructure," he said. "But customers are forced to have two infrastructures -- one for IP-based storage traffic and the other for the rest of the data traffic. We can put all that traffic on a single infrastructure, but segregate the infrastructure [logically] so that iSCSI can get the appropriate priority as necessary."
"There is an overarching management framework [with this integration], and underneath, those underlying resources have a greater level of awareness of each other in how they like to receive storage traffic," said Dave Cahill, director of strategic alliances at SolidFire. "It delivers a level of Quality of Service optimization that hasn't existed across the key building blocks previously. It's all about delivering Quality of Service on a per-volume basis. The one piece that tends to get in the way of that is the network."
Cloud provider CloudSigma AG, a customer of both Plexxi and SolidFire, is introducing the new SDN-storage integration into its infrastructure.

Making sense of software-defined storage
"SolidFire is a distributed system, so this means the product sits on the network and consists of several physical nodes that each hold 10 SSD disks. These are accessed by virtual machines by whatever network is available," said Bernino Lind, chief operating officer at CloudSigma. "If you have tens of thousands of virtual machines and tens of thousands of disks on different SolidFire devices, trying to optimize the routing of that is a problem. I don't even want to calculate what kind of routing tables would be needed. With SolidFire and Plexxi able to speak together, our virtualization layer can tell Plexxi and SolidFire, 'Hey, I'm a virtual machine residing over here and my disk is residing over there. Can you please make me the shortest route between?'"
Lind said this integration will scale out well in his data center as he deploys more racks and more SolidFire devices because the WDM-style fiber ring that Plexxi switches use to interconnect will allow him to maintain a flat, low-latency topology.
The SDN-storage integration offered by SolidFire and Plexxi is an essential element of CloudSigma's ability to deliver service-level agreements on something more than just uptime.
"We want to issue guarantees on performance," Lind said. "It's not something that we have now, but to be able to do that we have to architect the network, storage and compute fabric so that we know we can guarantee performance. [The Plexxi-SolidFire] integration is a step toward that."

South Texas Medical School
The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio began in 1959 when the Fifty-Sixth Texas Legislature authorized a medical school, originally named South Texas Medical School. After heated debate, a site on the periphery of the city rather than downtown was chosen. The Joe J. Nix Dairy Farm, which was a 100 acre wide expanse of grazing land, cattle pens, milking barns and silos to store cattle feed, was conveyed to the State of Texas to build a School of Medicine. In 1966, G.W. Mitchell & Sons was selected for construction of the school for $10, 038,739. The 450,000 square foot medical school building, designed by Phelps Dewees Simmons, was completed in 1968. In July of 1968, the South Texas Medical School was dedicated and opened their doors to its first class of 104 students. Today, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is one of the country's leading health sciences universities, ranking in the top 3 percent of all institutions worldwide receiving federal funding. Although additional buildings have been added to the campus, the original medical school building built by G.W. Mitchell & Sons still serves as home to the university's schools of medicine, nursing, dentistry, health professions and graduate biomedical sciences and has produced approximately 28,000 graduates in less than half a decade.

Market View: 24-28 Sep 2012
|24-28 Sep 2012
|Market This Week
|WOW!! congratulations to all of you! Our recommendations rocketed last week. Nifty closed at almost 5700 mark last week surpassing the old 52 week high. Heavy volumes were seen in all the counters. Infrastructure, metal, banking and other midcap had heavy participation. The government finally took a positive step towards reforms and its announcement of tax reductions which were targeted at the FII's saw heavy inflows coming from them. It is become attractive now for the foreign banks to buy indian loans and also finance indian corporates. If the reforms continue, the NIFTY would see 5800-6000 soon.Last week the rally was also fueled by SHORT covering. The F&O data now shows that there are a lot of LONG's being created. This week, However before the next move, there could be some profit booking due to rollovers. The market would breathe and would take one step backward to move two steps forward. Thats how the markets always move! very much human. This week, the market would remain flat and the NIFTY might see some downward moves. With the policy paralysis prevailing in china, the indian stock markets are looking very attractive.Note: History has continued. The retail investor had no clue what happened last week and he has missed the rally. We are happy for all our clients who participated in the rally. A gain of 20% in a week is just awesome!! Cheers!!

For three weeks Brother Mario was here at our Matola Noviciate to equip our second year novices with skills that will enable them to be efficient educators in the communities. We have a tradition here that our novices do not have Pastoral experience in the various communities. We attach them to parish communites where they experience contact with youth. Since the noviciate opened here a year ago, Brother Mario has been our constant visiting lecturer. The members of staff suspend their teachings in second year to give him more time to drill the second years in classroom management, how to prepare schemes of work and lesson plan, marking assignments. He uses the book of Saint Mark and presents it in a way that makes our novices feel a high rate apetite of being Marist Educator. He also leading them in the singing practice as you can see in the picture. He leads too Marial prayer using power point presentation with diverse creativity. From time to time he corrects them in pronounciation of difficult English words.
Another day he took us into the Critical Mass media presentation. Bravo Brother Mario for fitting us in your heavy schedule. We are booking you in advance to be our constant visiting lecturers for the groups to come and we always appreciate your great sense of generosity and may Our Good Lord add you more healthy years to display your talents and skills in a more professional way as you did. Thank you for finding us a donor who has enriched our Library. He told us that the same donor has given our noviciate a bit of cash and promises to buy more books for our young men. Thanks former students for being generous to our noviciate. Thank you Mario for arousing interest of former students to have a keen interest in our noviciate. Our prayers will follow you and them. May many people og good will emulate their generosity. God bless.
Simeon Banda, fms.

Keep your employees engaged and productive by using Gamification
Driving results is a key factor for a successful business. Dynamics 365 - Gamification helps you to keep your employees engaged and motivated to deliver their best performance.
Everyone can participate in contests, regardless of their role in the company. Participants can win awards, prizes, and bragging rights, which are helpful external motivators to drive their impact on business results. When you make teams, you create healthy competition among colleagues and foster team spirit.
To help create a vibrant and engaging environment for your contest, use up-to-date scores and numbers. You can do this by using the connection with Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement (recommended) or with manual updates that use Excel, so everybody can see fresh data about how they are progressing in the game.
Gamification refers to the use of game mechanics and experience design to engage and motivate people to achieve their goals. For more information about common terms used in Gamification, see the Gamification terminology.
How Gamification can help to keep your employees engaged
Gamification engages many different roles
Think about how you measure the performance of your employees and the activities that drive that performance. Do you count the meetings they schedule, the time it took them to resolve a customer issue, how much revenue they generated, or something completely different?
Sure, you can send around weekly email updates or fill scorecards with numbers. But why not make it more fun and exciting by turning some performance metrics into a game?
Traditional game models reward top performers, who are already self-motivated. Gamification motivates everyone to achieve more. Gamification lets you build key performance indicators (KPIs) based on data for hundreds of possible metrics. You can set up the KPIs in a way that they drive behavior, activity, and results.
You can let people participate in a contest even if their role isn't related to one of the game's KPIs. Add them as fans to a game and they can form their own team rosters.
Create awards that motivate everybody
Gamification lets you set up multiple award categories to recognize achievement and improvement across a variety of KPIs or employee roles. It also offers tiered awards for individuals and teams to enable more players to receive recognition. Creating multiple ways to win keeps more participants engaged and excited throughout the entire contest.
Embrace a competitive spirit and camaraderie
Gamification builds on fantasy sports, so of course players and fans get to pick fantasy teams. Don't worry if you've never played a game with fantasy teams before; no experience is required. Team management offers players and fans the chance to draft their colleagues in a simple and convenient way. Everyone is motivated to perform so they can keep their team in the game—even if they are not a star performer.
Keep the competition alive and the scores up to date
Multiple leaderboards encourage players to focus on all aspects of the game. Gamification uses points assigned to each KPI and earned by individual players and entire teams to determine weekly standings for players and teams, and standings for specific KPIs.
Increase motivation with leaderboards, badges, and awards
Contests give people bragging rights and allow them to compete with colleagues in a friendly and open way. Fantasy teams and fixed-team games have proven to be more effective than individual contests. Players have profile pages with a summary of their awards, standings, and past performance, which other players can view to make decisions about who to put on their rosters. Gamification lets them share their successes and achievements with other participants on a smack talk board for each game.
Leaderboards, badges, and awards are a great way to recognize achievements and help to drive the players' motivation to deliver their best results. Set up a TV for your office space to keep employees informed about the latest rankings.
Monitor performance without the hassle
None of this would be fun or effective if it added more complexity to business entities. Gamification helps improve performance and make it a fun experience, without the burden of managing tangled, complex spreadsheets.
Create a contest in a few easy steps
We're sure you'll want to get started immediately using Gamification. Follow these steps to start your first game:
Install Gamification.
More information: Install and configure the Gamification solution
Configure players and level the playing field by using positions.
More information: Import players and fans from Dynamics 365 apps and manage their security roles
Set up the game, KPIs, awards, and prizes, and kick off the contest.

The British ultimatum
Cuahchic built an interesting historical moment of the meeting under a wild fig tree on the Lower Thukela Drift, Natal Province, on 11th December 1878, between the Zulu's king envoys and the British colony representatives. Present at this historic meeting was John Wesley Shepstone – Frere's representative – who read to the Zulus a British ultimatum. You may read more about it at the MOC's page.
The tree if the most notable detail were Cuahchic applied good techniques to get the volume effect of the tree leaves.

It's been a while since I've dedicated a post to bathroom signage, and even long since I debated the importance of well themed restroom designation. So scrolling through old vacation photos and coming across an adorable set doesn't riddle me with guilt.
This terrific set of well themed gender designating signs are found outside of the restroom at Gaston's Tavern in New Fantasyland. These are very close to where Gaston himself meets with guests, and sometime the line from that actually interferes with access to these restrooms. They're not the ideal location to relieve yourself, honestly. However the signs are NEAR perfect...
The only problem I have with them is that the woman isn't holding a baguette. I mean, that would be good theming right? We're in France of course, but also because the silhouette of a baguette is vaguely reminiscent of a big poo. Theming!
In addition to these signs, and the meet and greet, this little nook also has some gorgeous water fountains and one of the best music loops to come out in recent years. If anyone has this loop can you please send me in the right direction? This area jams so much charm into so few square feet its ridiculous.
Do you have a favorite set of bathroom signs at Walt Disney World? Have you never even noticed them? Let us know over on Twitter or Facebook! Or tag us in a photo of your favorite signs on Instagram!

Beginning 1 January 2018, taxpayers may ask the tax administrators for binding rulings on the manner of determining the tax base of a permanent establishment (or a registered branch of a foreign entity) located in the Czech Republic.
Up to now, taxpayers have not had this opportunity for a binding ruling. Historically, foreign entities agreed to the manner of determining the tax base with the appropriate tax administrator via a protocol (usually as a percentage of expenses or revenues). The binding ruling process, thus, could be expected to bring legal certainty to foreign entities because such binding rulings would represent the tax authority's official standpoints on the method of determining the tax base of a permanent establishment.
Determining the tax base of a permanent establishment can be ambiguous in many cases, complicated mainly by the fact that a permanent establishment is not a separate entity, and intra-company revenue and expense flows without existing contracts must be considered. The most problematic situations arise when supplies are delivered between the head office and the permanent establishment (e.g., various support services or the transfer of goods for the purpose of their sale by the permanent establishment) or when the permanent establishment deals with customers, suppliers, and business partners but does not issue any invoices to third parties.
In other instances, there is a question as to whether a permanent establishment is entitled to a margin on sold goods or gains from other activities or functions performed for the entity that has established the permanent establishment.
Binding rulings are typically issued for three subsequent tax periods. Applications for binding rulings are subject to an administrative user fee of CZK 10,000 and must satisfy certain formal requirements such as the appropriate documentation proving that the selected method of profit allocation (for determining the tax base) of a permanent establishment reflects the functions, assets, and risks borne by the permanent establishment in the relevant transactions. Such binding rulings will be subject to the information exchange requirements between EU Member States in compliance with the Council Directive 2011/16/EU, on administrative cooperation in the field of taxation (similarly to advance pricing agreements).

Spoon-billed Sandpiper: Hatch
Spoon-billed Sandpipers lay four eggs in a simple tundra nest in a shallow depression, most often in mosses, lined with a few dwarf willow leaves. The nest is incubated by both adults on half-day shifts—the male most often during the day and the female at night. After 21 days of incubation the eggs begin to hatch in a process that takes a day or more to complete. When the young finally emerge from the nest they stumble about on well-developed legs and feet and begin to feed themselves. After the last chick emerges, the male begins his job of leading the chicks as they grow towards independence about 20 days later; the female soon departs and begins moving south. This piece captures the first moments of life at a windswept Spoon-billed Sandpiper nest.
The Spoon-billed Sandpiper is one of the most critically endangered birds in the world. To learn more about the threats they face on breeding, migration, and wintering grounds, as well as efforts to save them, see our feature article from Living Bird magazine.

This BIGRED product has a single hydraulic pump piston that effortlessly raises the lift arm. Pump piston dust
shields and wiper seals protect the hydraulic system from contaminants. The jack features an overload valve
bypass system to prevent jack damage and user injury. Compact design allows use in confined spaces. Easily
fits under low vehicles. This product is tested for reliability and safety.
• The hydraulic technology makes lifting simple while a wider frame and internal bypass valve ensure safety.
• Safety bypass system prevents over-loading and ensures safe operation.
• Steel casters for longevity.
1. When lifting heavy weights, the mandril fails to rise to the maximum route. When the jack reaches a certain height, and the maximum route is not reached, the mandril cannot rise up any more, which indicates that there is a lack of working oil in the jack, and it should be replenished.
2. The mandril wobbles while rising. Generally the oil return valve is not closed tightly; we can tighten oil return valve needle in counterclockwise direction. If it is still unstable, check whether there is any oil leakage around the pressure rod; if the oil leaks, it indicates that the seal ring of the mandril is damaged, and it should be replaced. If there is no oil leakage, confirm again whether the oil return valve and the inlet valve is already locked, and also check sealing gasket conditions in the cylinder end joint of pressure rod; if all the above is normal, then it indicates that the seal ring is damaged, or the fixed screw is loosening, we should replace it or tighten the screw.
3. The mandril fails to rise while no-load. First check the oil amount of the jack, and we should add oil when insufficient. If jack is not short of oil, we can loosen the oil return valve needle of the jack, remove the oil plug of oil filling port, then trample on the jack base by our feet, repeatedly pull up the mandril and press down again by our hands for several times, in order to exhaust air; after the above actions are completed, tighten the oil plug of oil filling port and oil return valve tightly, and then try again the no-load mandril; if the mandril still cannot rise, lay jack flat, remove the oil return valve, check whether the valve and seat contact well; if there is dirt, it should be removed; if there is pit, slot and uneven, it should be replaced. Finally check whether the oil inlet valve is well sealed and the sealing ring of mandril is damaged or falls off. If any, replace it in time.
4. Oil leakage, can be seen by visual observation. The oil leakage area of the jack is usually in the base and the cylinder joint, around the mandril, in the lock thread of the oil return valve, in the fixed oil plug of the oil filling port, around pressure rod etc. The cause of oil leakage is usually the damage of sealing gasket, it must be replaced in time.

"John Horse's story feels like an answer to every Hollywood studio's wish list: a mix of Spartacus, Braveheart, Amistad, and Glory, with just a pinch of Dances With Wolves. A sweeping tale of a decades-long struggle against oppression, the movie would show how Horse and the Black Seminoles created the largest haven for runaway slaves in the American South, led the biggest slave revolt in U.S. history, won the only emancipation of rebellious North American slaves before the Civil War, and formed the largest mass exodus of slaves in U.S. history. In the 1830s Horse's people journeyed from the Florida Everglades to what is now Oklahoma and then across the border to Mexico, where they ultimately secured title to their own land. What is perhaps most amazing about this story is how it has been overlooked so consistently, not just by filmmakers and popular audiences but by almost every historian of slavery. Now a nonprofessional historian--J.B. Bird, an administrator at the University of Texas--has written and produced an engrossing multimedia Web documentary, Rebellion: John Horse and the Black Seminoles, the First Black Rebels to Beat American Slavery. (To see it for yourself, go to johnhorse.com.) In the process, Bird has illustrated not just an important part of the American past but also one of the ways cyberspace is changing how history is studied and taught. Bird's narrative begins in Spanish Florida in the early 18th century, when two groups fled from the colonial South: Seminoles migrating from Alabama and Georgia to escape white encroachment and blacks fleeing the bonds of slavery. Both were welcome in Florida. The escaped slaves, in fact, were offered their freedom if they would defend the Spanish crown. Both the Catholic Church and Spanish law treated slavery as an unnatural condition, and both recognized blacks and American Indians as human beings (if not equals). More practically, offering sanctuary to English slaves created a human buffer zone and a free fighting force against the British colonists. The mixed society that emerged in Florida produced "maroons" or "Indian negroes"--today known as Black Seminoles, people of Seminole cultural traditions and full or partial African descent. Mose, north of St. Augustine, was soon established as "the first legally sanctioned free black town in North America."" Get the Story:

The Intervention of the Sabine Women, 1799
We end our Neoclassical artist "trilogy" with the man who pioneered it and also was the teacher of Ingres, Jacques-Louis David, who was born on August 30 1748. His style is not only Classical and dramatic (to the point of being theatrical at times) but highly patriotic and philosophical, considering the turbulent times he lived in. As a court painter to Napoleon himself and deeply immersed in the French Revolution, David was quite active politically, influencing people and politics with his art. His influence was notable enough to even affect the public opinion of some who were sent to the guillotine, including none other than Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI. One would think that there would be plenty of material here for a very interesting biopic or movie, but it seems that David's reputation as an artist is only as a French symbol of national greatness. Many consider his work formal and stiff, unnatural even though technically dazzling. For an interesting brief documentary on David, I recommend watching Simon Schama's Power of Art (one of the eight artists represented in the series).
In The Intervention of the Sabine Women above, David creates a distinct foreground, middleground and background, using the thrust of swords in the air both as a military element necessary to the painting and as atmospheric perspective against the warm hues of the distant castle. Hersilia, wife of Romulus is dressed in white, throwing herself between her husband and her father in an attempt to stop the brutal fighting. Note the accented use of red against these warm skin tones. David stages the scene with the flair for the theatrical with body language that is clear and unmistakable: Romulus standing proud with his spear and shield, which in itself creates a visual focal point to the story. David was keen on history, and this painting was symbolic of the chaos in his own time. He conceived the idea for this while being imprisoned himself for supporting at the time a "rogue" politician. David was a master of large scale, multiple figure scenes such as this which is incredibly complex to compose. More about the background of the painting here.
Portrait of Madame de Verninac, 1799
Look how David manages to capture the relaxed expression of this woman while still maintaining a Classical aesthetic. Fashion was changing during this era also, when women were not wearing tight corsets anymore to embrace this Classical look, complete with Hellenistic-like hair. David's palette combines warm hues of the the chair and yellow sashes with the neutral white gown against a greenish background. Elegant yet natural.
Mars désarmé par Vénus, 1824
Considered by many to be David's last great painting, this masterpiece was completed over a period of three years. Mars and Venus, along with the three graces are floating in the clouds with a large Greek temple looms behind them. The incredible drapery of Mars' robe spills down the chaise longue to his sandaled feet, where Cupid undoes his left sandal. Behind them the graces are doing their best to make Mars more comfortable, one takes his shield and bow, another has his helmet, and a third brings him wine in a goblet. Venus offers him peace with a wreath of flowers to replace his helmet, while her other hand is on his lap seductively. Note the two doves "kissing" in an area right beside his manhood. Mars seems to be relinquishing his sword to Venus, but he looks skeptically at her. This painting seems to comment on the impossibility of lasting peace, that this scene floats in the clouds suggests that even red-blooded generals or highest ranking men of war who love women as much as fighting cannot easily choose between the two. There is no adrenaline-rush in having earthly desires handed to someone who wants to conquer them. Indeed, the only object that is "erect" in this painting is the spear in his right hand, which he does not surrender.
Death of Marat, 1793
David's most iconic work, this is a unique historical event that was seized by David's imagination to be something remembered by all of France. Read more about the history behind the painting here. David was a close friend of Marat, who was a journalist during the turbulent Revolution who fought for rights of the poor. His impassioned speeches and writings helped to cause the September Massacres, a mob of killings that occurred in Paris during 1792. Charlotte Corday was a member of an opposing political group from the Revolution that saw him as an extremist and stabbed him in his own room. David creates a more theatrical version to emphasize the skin condition that Marat had, needing frequent bathing to relieve his pain. What is interesting visually is how David arranged the composition horizontally with the wooden table as a vertical element that leads the eye to the letter in his hand. Marat's limp right hand with feather points to the wooden table with names engraved in the side, creating a circle. This painting is often compared to the pietà, except more tragic in that noone is there to hold him.
Coronation of Emperor Napoleon I and the Empress Josephine in the Notre-Dame de Paris, 1807
An incredible scene commemorating Napoleon, this composition has a true sense of scale with bold vertical elements of the architecture balanced by the horizontal arrangement of the people. It is a very formal painting, to be sure, and political in nature, but one doesn't always think of how long it must have taken to compose and paint all of these figures and their costumes. Each figure also has a unique facial expression and pose. It is simple and yet incredibly complex.
Oath of the Horatii, 1784
Another iconic painting that made David a giant of Neoclassicism. Read more about the history behind it here. David's imagination once again goes to the theatrical, yet what intrigues me about this is how the chiaroscuro of the three brothers here have a distinctly Baroque character to them, even though standing straight. Here David's drapery skills, realistic skin tones, deep shadows, graceful women, and a perfectly harmonious composition seems to suggest a new era in painting that Neoclassicism could become.
Belisarius Asking for Alms, 1781
One of my very favourite paintings, this has a realistic feel that evokes a more Baroque sensibility than Neoclassicism. The use of perspective gives the scene a less formal quality, especially compared to Oath of the Horatii. The double handed surprise of the soldier in the background who recognizes Belisarius verges on the melodramatic, to be sure, yet it clearly indicates the fall in status of a once-great general and "last of the Romans". Compare with this version by Francois-Andre Vincent. Despite the legend of Belisarius being reduced to a beggar, what counts here is the willingness to suspend our disbelief and experience this scene. David pulls us into his theatre, and no matter what he conjures our senses are always dazzled, and his symbolism lingers in our thoughts long after the image is out of sight. David's genius has so much for us to learn from.

Elsevier R&D Solutions Promotes Innovation in Early Drug Discovery and Development With Launch of The Hive Project
25 Apr, 2016, 12:59 BST
NEW YORK, April 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Nominations Now Open for up to Five Start-up Firms to Receive Research Support from Elsevier
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, has today announced that The Hive, its incubator project for biotech and pharmaceutical start-up firms, is now open for nominations and applications.
The Hive is an Elsevier R&D Solutions collaboration with a select group of biotech and pharmaceutical start-up companies; aiming to showcase the importance of empowering early stage drug discovery and development, and demonstrate how research teams can overcome R&D bottlenecks and challenges. With up to five firms to be chosen in 2016, participants will benefit from increased visibility of their work across the pharma R&D community, as well as enhanced research productivity via complimentary access to Elsevier's suite of information solutions, including user training and support.
"We've seen in recent years that over 60% of drug discoveries originate outside the walls of the traditional pharma companies, and almost half of the industry's R&D pipelines are externally sourced- from open innovation initiatives, from academia, or from small biotech start-ups," commented Alexander Van Boetzelaer, Managing Director, Elsevier R&D Solutions. "The Hive will not only help highlight innovative start-ups and give them a platform to promote their innovation, but also enable the wider pharma R&D ecosystem to learn from these very young and nimble organizations."
Elsevier R&D Solutions for the life sciences are designed to fuel research and decision-making in early stage drug discovery and development, and are utilized on a daily basis by most of the world's leading biopharmaceutical companies. In an ultra-competitive environment that demands rapid results, early access to a broad base of industry research is crucial to reduce the likelihood of costly late stage failures and mitigate risk.
In addition to providing successful applicants with increased exposure to the life sciences community and complimentary access to Elsevier resources, The Hive will engage the wider pharma R&D community via case studies and other digital content featuring the participants; which will be widely-promoted throughout Elsevier's online and social networks. Individuals and companies following The Hive will have the chance to hear directly from the participating companies, while supporting and learning from their research projects.
"Elsevier's mission is to fuel discovery, drive innovation and improve health care. Projects such as The Hive empower the innovative organizations and individuals that are working to create miracles for those suffering from some form of illness," commented Tim Hoctor, VP of Life Sciences Solution Services, Elsevier. "Whether through creating awareness and community engagement, or through access to our services, Elsevier will continue to nurture and develop the initiatives that will drive successful pharmaceutical research and improve the lives of patients."
The best candidates for The Hive are biotech and pharmaceutical start-ups and other small companies actively engaged in advancing early stage research, with a minimum of three scientists on staff. Potential candidates will be assessed on a number of criteria. Rolling enrollment commences April 20th 2016; candidate companies may apply or be nominated for The Hive. Candidates will complete a questionnaire about their research, funding, and goals over the next twelve months, and selected candidates will be invited to participate in a phone interview before the final selection.
For more information and to nominate a company for The Hive, please visit: http://www.elsevier.com/thehive

With the season ending last Saturday, the club is now forced to look ahead. Marian Iancu had a meek attempt to bring Mr. Uhrin back to Poli, but it failed as the Czech manager was not allowed to leave by the Mlada Boleslav owner - despite a 300000 Euro offer. Good to see some things just can't be bought.
The latest rumor is in regard to the former German International Lothar Matthäus, who might just be redirected from Hungarian club Fehervar if the right buttons are pushed. While as a manager Matthäus has not thoroughly failed, his antics off the football pitch (and bench) have generally been criticized and he has been labelled as difficult to work with. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, Mr. Iancu having a clear penchant for either crappy medium profile managers or, particularly, crappy high-profile managers/ex-players. The exception confirms the rule, doesn't it?
