n he recorded 1, 170 yards
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers added international receiver Romby Bryant and international defensive back Troy Stoudermire to their roster on Sunday. Cheap Cavaliers Jerseys Authentic . The 34-year-old was cut by the Toronto Argonauts last week after an injury shortened 2013 season. This will be Bryants second stint with the Blue Bombers. The Tulsa product had his best year in 2010 with the Calgary Stampeders when he recorded 1, 170 yards receiving with 15 touchdowns. In six seasons with the Stampeders, Blue Bombers and Argonauts, Bryant has 4,557 yards receiving with 33 touchdowns. Stoudermire spent time on the Saskatchewan Roughriders practice roster during the tail end of last season, but was released by the club during training camp this year. Cheap Cleveland Cavaliers Jerseys . "For the past several weeks, Logan has been dealing and playing with an upper body injury," said general manager Doug Wilson in a statement. "Despite his efforts to play through it, the injury has not responded as we had hoped and Logan has made the decision to undergo a surgical procedure to repair the problem. Cheap NBA Jerseys .Y. - Carey Price had an early feeling that one goal might be enough to settle the latest matchup between his Montreal Canadiens and longtime Original Six foe, the New York Rangers. http://www.cheapcavaliersjerseysauthentic.com/ . Dwyane Wade followed a few days later. BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A Buffalo Bills fan group uncovered documents that suggest a Toronto-based prospective ownership group has plans to relocate the franchise north of the border. In a release issued Thursday, the Buffalo Fan Alliance identified several announcements referring to Rogers Communications consultant, Roger Rai, as part of the ownership group "attempting to acquire and move the Buffalo Bills to Toronto." Rai told The AP on Wednesday hes not involved with the groups ownership bid. He added the references connecting him to the proposed Bills purchase were "a mistake on my behalf," and the result of a misinterpretation made by a co-worker who wrote the biography. The alliance, made up of fans, former Bills players and business leaders, said the references made in the documents "would seem to cast further doubt on the credibility" of the Toronto groups assurances to keep the Bills in Buffalo. Rogers is part of a Bills prospective ownership group that includes rocker Jon Bon Jovi and Larry Tanenbaum, chairman of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. The Associated Press has verified the documents exist. One of the references to Rai was included in an announcement issued in July by Marketwired, a Toronto-based press release distribution company. Another was included in Rais biography published in a public filing in January announcing a special meeting to approve Primary Petroleums merger with Keek Inc. Rai is listed as Keeks vice-president of business development. The announcements also to refer to Rai as someone who "assists in sports ownership affairs of Rogers Communications and was responsible for the acquisition of the Toronto Blue Jays," which the company purchased in 2000. Collin Sexton Jersey. Rai said he first became aware of the error when the reference was published in a release on July 8 announcing his appointment to Pinetree Capitals board of directors. A day later, Marketwired issued an updated release removing any mention of Rais ties to Rogers, except that he held various managerial positions at the company. The Bills are on the market after Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson died in March. And questions of the franchises long-term future in Buffalo have been an issue throughout the sale process. Though a lease agreement essentially locks the Bills into playing at Ralph Wilson through the 2019 season, there is a one-year opt-out clause that would allow them to move in 2020. Last month, Bon Jovi attempted to address questions regarding his ownership plans in a seven-paragraph letter published in The Buffalo News. He wrote it was his objective "to carry on the legacy of Ralph Wilson and make the Bills successful in Buffalo." A person familiar with the sale process told The AP that the Toronto group attended a presentation on Tuesday during which Bills officials provided extensive financial and background information on the franchise. A second person said Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula attended a similar presentation on Wednesday. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the sale is private. New York real estate mogul Donald Trump also attended a presentation last week. The presentations are an opportunity for prospective ownership groups to gain information to prepare formal bids, which are expected to be submitted within three weeks.

The Devil Wears Papaya
No Comments November 4, 2016
As Fall blankets the landscape with it’s seasonal colors, theres one particular color that stands out. What color would that be? Well, I would say orange but PRADA‘s interpretation would be “papaya”. Truthfully papaya can be used all year round but it just feels more appropriate this time of year with Halloween and Thanksgiving upon us. This Saffiano Executive Tote bag by PRADA (prada.com) in papaya is the perfect functional accessory for the man on the go. It’s practical, sturdy, sleek lines and craftsmanship exude luxury that has become the PRADA signature. It is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable names in fashion. This Italian luxury fashion house has been providing beautiful pieces in every aspect of fashion since 1913. It was founded by Mario Prada and was originally known as Prada Brothers. They began making and selling shoes, leather handbags and trunks. The classic PRADA trunk was originally made of heavy walrus skin.
In 1978, Miuccia Prada, Mario’s granddaughter, spearheaded the company’s expansion into clothing that became a favorite among us mere mortals and celebrities worldwide. On a side note, Miu Miu (miumiu.com), was named after Miuccia Prada and launched in 1992. The men’s ready-to-wear collections also launched in the mid 1900’s and the first menswear shop opened in Los Angeles in 1998. PRADA‘s nylon tote was one of their first biggest releases, which was also designed by Miuccia. To this day they still provide the nylon tote for their faithful fashionistas and fashionistos. Aside from the one-0f-a-kind and sophisticated bags and clothing, PRADA also provides fragrances, eyewear, jewelry, cell phones (yes, cell phones), cosmetics and confectionary.
Fun Fact: Orange was one of the original colors formulated by Crayola in 1903

CFD Insights for the Turbomachinery Designer
INSIGHT: A Fireside Chat with Bob Ni
As we celebrate our fourth anniversary, we thought it would be appropriate in this issue of The Flow to take a step back and sit down with Bob Ni to discuss his journey through CFD and some of the philosophical underpinnings behind ADS. Bob is the Chairman and CTO of ADS. Prior to founding the company, he was a senior fellow at Pratt & Whitney leading turbomachinery CFD development and application efforts.
FLOW: How did you get your start with CFD?
BOB: I joined Pratt in 1974, and the company really started to invest in CFD in the early 1980s. it was still in its infancy then and only able to handle simple 2D problems, but it became clear that CFD could serve as a kind of virtual test rig with the potential to reduce redesign, improve safety and contain costs.
FLOW: From an industry standpoint, what were some of the specific requirements you had for CFD?
BOB: To get the operational requirements we went to our engine designers. They told us that it had to be something they could trust, meaning that it had to be independent and not subject to user biases. It had to provide the highest resolution into problems and deliver valid answers for a variety of geometries it had never encountered. Ultimately, it had to mimic the physics and do it in design time.
FLOW: That sounds challenging.
BOB: Yes, but we took it in steps and persevered. Our foundation was a process by which learnings were never lost but always captured to augment our predictive capability. We consistently applied our methodology and never took shortcuts; we knew we wanted a continuous chain of accountability, because that's what building trust meant to us. And during the course of my 28 year tenure we did in fact develop great confidence in the CFD because that chain of accountability was not broken. The CFD increasingly became a "system of truth" for exploring uncharted design spaces, so we protected the integrity of the model vigorously. When data and simulations did not match, we studied all sides of the problem before incorporating the knowledge into our model. It took years and a lot of sweat, but it's clear that CFD truly helped the company deliver some of the world's most capable turbomachines.
FLOW: What led you to found ADS?
BOB: It's a funny story. I retired from Pratt in 2003 with an intent to play golf, travel and eat lots of sushi, but my side consulting work quickly became a passion. As part of that consulting I began a search for codes that I felt I could count on for turbomachinery aero, but I just couldn't find something with the appropriate domain expertise and industry bent to make me feel comfortable. So after a year I took out a clean sheet of paper and started working on a solver an mesher that would let me analyze designs with confidence and stand up to the rigors of modern turbomachinery design. This led to the founding of ADS.
FLOW: What were some of the key design principles you embraced for your CFD?
BOB: First, I wanted to craft CFD that turbomachinery clients could use to design with confidence. I'd learned how to achieve this at Pratt and wanted to impart the best of my experiences into ADS CFD. Second, I wanted CFD that could address modern turbomachinery design challenges. Third, I wanted to bring these aerospace-class capabilities to the broader turbomachinery market to empower designers at large to be their best.
FLOW: Let's elaborate. What do you mean by "design with confidence?"
BOB: "Confidence" is a very subjective word, but to me it means that the CFD consistently discerns design improvements from design mistakes. CFD that when used correctly, serves as a system of truth for exploring new design spaces. Confidence also means CFD that's ready for use out of the box, without having to invest years of effort to mature and adapt a generic code to specific needs. Given my background, I believed I could capture and reflect the learnings I'd accumulated over the years in applying CFD to compressor and turbine design challenges.
FLOW: What are the "modern turbomachinery design challenges" you allude to?
BOB: Whether it be a jet engine, a turbocharger or industrial compressor, it's pretty clear that the path to higher performance and efficiency is to reduce size and operate at higher temperatures. This requires designer insight into the adverse time-varying flow phenomena impacting performance and durability--in other words, time accurate analysis. I therefore set my sights on delivering a solver that was designed from the ground up for unsteady analysis, and fast enough to be applied inside tight commercial design windows.
FLOW: How are you making your CFD more accessible to turbomachinery designers?
BOB: I'm a big believer that turbomachinery aero designers deserve best-in-class, turbomachinery-specific CFD. We aim to make turbomachinery CFD more accessible by distilling it down to its absolute essence: CFD that has been amply matured in compressor and turbo design, CFD that reduces a myriad of simulation options to the ones that really count, CFD that speaks the language of turbomachinery, and CFD that automates workflows so that designers can focus on design, not on debugging meshes or writing custom scripts.
FLOW: Are there any common pitfalls for companies seeking to take better advantage of CFD for turbomachinery aero?
BOB: The biggest pitfall has less to do with the CFD itself, but rather the analysis methodology by which it is used. No amount of talent or CFD horsepower can overcome a faulty analysis process. This problem is becoming more prevalent as CFD expands its reach downmarket to organizations less experienced in its proper application. Often, the best way for these companies gain their footing is to draw on mentorship from outside experts or CFD vendors like us.
FLOW: Thanks, Bob.
BOB: My pleasure.

Google might not have succeeded in building a successful social networking platform inspite of several attempts, but that isn't apparently stopping the company from giving it one more shot anyway. Today the company revealed Shoelace, a new social network centered around finding people with similar interests and meeting in up with them in the real world.
A lot of people organize events using Facebook, so it's definitely a worthwhile niche to chase after. You can create a listing for an event or activity you're participating in, and invite friends and strangers to join you.

Then, each day you'll see nearby events - which Shoelace thematically calls "Loops" - that match those interests you've selected.
While Google says it plans to eventually bring Shoelace to cities around the United States, there seems to be no immediate thoughts of launching the service internationally. Believed to have been first reported by Android Police, the search giant's experimental 'Area 120' team has now launched a new hyper-local news service called Shoelace that also doubles up as a social network of sorts. Contradicting most expectations, Google has announced Shoelace, a social networking app that lets people connect using different activities. "It's great for folks who have recently moved cities or who are looking to meet others who live nearby". It is now being tested exclusively in NY, but if it proves successful, a wider roll-out could be in the cards.
More news: Rob Gronkowski catches passes from Tom Brady
It's now invite-only, and promises to help you "connect with others who have the same interests.". "We also work hard to make sure that everything you see in Shoelace - from profiles to Loops - is aligned with our House Rules and community standards".
Even after the shut down of Google+, which was meant to be a Facebook-competitor but it could never quite get to where Google imagined it, the company is reportedly working on another social network.

Kevin Durant Unveils New Jersey Number With Brooklyn Nets
by Cecil Buchanan
The former Boston Celtics guard, who became a free agent and made a decision to join the Nets, signed a four-year contract worth an estimated $141 million. The family relocated to West Orange when Irving was two years old. He went on to play impressive basketball at Montclair Kimberley Academy, St. Patrick High School in Elizabeth, and Duke University. It appears he'll wear No. 6 this season with the Los Angeles Lakers. In addition to those seismic shifts, Kemba Walker will take Irving's place as the point guard with the Boston Celtics.
Durant, 30, posted averages of 25.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.08 steals and 34.1 minutes in 208 games (all starts) over three seasons with Golden State.
More news: After Kangana Ranaut's fiasco with journalist, Ekta Kapoor says she's gone 'mental'
The Warriors last week announced they will retire Durant's No. 35. But now, he's set to be part of a major transformation of the Nets.
The whole free agency theory was the Knicks were going to sign Durant after securing a top draft pick and have enough cap to sign another max deal player like Irving, Kawhi Leonard or Kemba Walker.
More news: Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal set to square off in Wimbledon semifinals
The Golden State Warriors have already announced that they will effectively retire Kevin Durant's No. 35, stopping the number from being worn again. "Their determination to play together proved even stronger, in the end, than many league observers expected", writes Marc Stein.
Besides Durant, the Nets have also signed NBA All-Star Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan in an attempt to revamp their squad, while their point guard D'Angelo Russell has left for the Warriors on a four-year, 117 million dollar contract.

THE Filipino community in Los Angles is still in shock over last Wednesday’s mass shooting in a bar in Thousand Oaks where a Fil-American college novice was among those who died.
In a phone interview, Philippine Consulate General in Los Angeles, Adel S. Cruz, expressed sadness over the death of Alaina Housley, 18, a resident of Napa Valley. He said the news has devastated Filipino Americans even more, as they try to absorb the news of the senseless death of 12 people.

Cruz said he has talked to Housley’s grandfather, Ernie Punzalan, who lives in a valley around Los Angeles.
“I told him that the Philippine Consulate General is ready to assist and help in whatever way possible,” Cruz said.
Earlier in his Facebook post, Cruz expressed shock and sadness over what he called “senseless and brutal mass shootings in Thousand Oaks, California.”
“My deepest condolences and prayers to her family and the families of the other victims of this tragedy.”
To drive home a point, Cruz also sent to local media entities a link to the “Gun Violence Archive” at www. Gunviolencearchive.org The site seeks to provide free online access to accurate information about gun-related violence in the United States.
Meanwhile, former executive at the Philippine Department of Tourism in Los Angeles Manny Ilagan, broke the news of Housley’s death to the Filipino American community through a post in his Facebook page.
“So Sorry to be the bearer of a heartbreaking news — One of the victims in the Thousand Oaks shooting incident is a grandchild of a family friend Fil Am couple,” wrote Ilagan in his post.
Ilagan added that Alaina was the daughter of Hannah Punzalan and Arik Housley, and grandchild of Ernesto and Leticia Punzalan.
Alaina was the niece of host Tamera Mowry-Housley and her husband Adam Housley.
“I was blessed to know you ever since you were five. You stole my heart,” the TV personality wrote in her Instagram account.

Reports said a 28-year-old US Marine veteran Ian David Long entered the Borderline Grill and Bar at about 11 pm on Wednesday night (November 7) where a “college night” was being held.
Armed with a Glock .45 caliber pistol, Long went inside the bar at started shooting at people. He killed 12 people, including a Ventura County Sheriff’s sergeant Ron Helus.
Helus was on the phone talking to his wife when he heard the gunshots and rushed to the scene.
About 200 people were believed to be in the country music bar during the shooting, many of them students from nearby colleges.

The Archive center
UTC, Centre de Recherches (behind Building B), Rue du Docteur Schweitzer, Compiègne
Reception desk : 03-44-23-44-91
The UTC archive center at Royallieu, inaugurated in 2009, is a single, secure facility for the storage and retrieval of UTC archives.
Any documents relating to the running of UTC, to UTC’s teaching curriculum, or to research done at UTC, can be deposited and archived here.
With a floor area of 200m² and storage stacks equipped with mobile and fixed shelving, the storage capacity is approximately 1890 linear meters.
Accessing the archive center :
The archive center reception desk, for UTC personnel and for the general public, is the desk of the Royallieu library (at the Centre de Recherches).
Archive material is to be deposited on the ground floor of the archive center, near the gate on "Rue du Docteur Schweitzer".
The role of UTC’s archive services
UTC has had a full-time archivist since December 2004.
The role of the archive services is to collect and conserve documents produced and received by UTC as part of its activities, and to make them available to those who wish to view them.
The archive services decide which documents are archived, and how they are conserved and made available. Archived documents come from UTC’s administrative divisions and from its different academic departments and research labs.
In this way the archive services are creating what is intended to be a resource for historians of UTC, a repository of material to record and exhibit UTC’s administrative, scientific and educational heritage.
The UTC archives
The earliest archived UTC documents go back to the beginning of the 1970s and there are press cuttings relating to UTC that are dated 1969. The archives include minutes of all meetings of the University Board (“Conseil d’administration”) since 1972, and of the Executive Board (“Directoire”) since 1973.
They also include the earliest student magazines, yearbooks, student guides, course catalogues, collections of statistics, and group photos. The earliest reports produced by UTC end-of-semester examination panels have also been collected and classified.
The archives of Guy Denielou, UTC’s founding president, and those of subsequent presidents, secretaries-general and chiefs of staff have been put together over a series of moves and transfers and represent a valuable resource for historians of UTC.
Collections of documents relating to administration, research and teaching are regularly added to the archives. Examples include the Vocational Training archive, the Industrial Design archive, and the Acoustics and Vibrations Division archive.
In terms of volume, UTC’s archive of photographs and images forms only a small part of the whole, but it is nevertheless of great interest: black and white photographs by UTC’s celebrated photographer Jean-Pierre Gilson, posters, negatives from research labs, and so on.
The audiovisual archive includes hundreds of VHS and U-matic videocassettes recording events such as graduation ceremonies, conferences, joint projects with industry and overseas institutions, and student activities. It also includes a number of filmed lectures.
Only a small part of the whole has been completely classified or pre-classified. One archive that has so far been classified is the Guy Denielou archive.
Access to the archives is subject to the regulations concerning access to public archives, and in addition it depends on to what extent any requested archive has been classified.

After School Are Desperate For a Comeback But Pledis Can’t Afford It
Eastnews33 Comments
These days K-pop fans treat After School like total flops just because the group’s past its “Because of You” glory days, but they’re really not THAT far gone.
Their songs chart decently enough by mid-tier girl group standards, their Orange Caramel sub-unit is a big hit, they’ve got a handful of members with successful solo activities, and they’ve got some presence as hallyu stars in both China and Japan.
That’s why I’m surprised to learn that the girls are desperate to make a full group comeback in Korea, but it’s Pledis’ lack of finances that’s stopping them.
Queen of Trot Lizzy and Onew’s Mrs. Robinson Jungah have both expressed their desire for an After School comeback over social media recently, with Lizzy revealing that it’s a lack of cash that’s standing in their way.
“We need money for a comeback but we don’t have any… I also want one [a comeback],” Lizzy wrote.
How bad is Pledis doing that they can’t afford to fund an After School comeback? I know they lost Son Dam Bi and Hello Venus and that Nu’est crashed and burned, but I assumed they’d be getting some dough from Orange Caramel and UEE.
After School hasn’t promoted in Korea since 2013’s romantic stripper anthem “First Love,” so I’m guessing that Avex Trax has been paying for their Japanese activities for the past few years.
Perhaps Pledis invested all their money into Seventeen and have now gone broke? A 13-member boy band can’t be cheap, especially one that was in the works for years before they even debuted. At least Seventeen’s been successful so far, so that’s something.
Whatever happens, I hope Pledis doesn’t disband After School. I stand by the group’s graduation concept and have always thought that it’s a great idea when used properly.
My advice is for Pledis to keep After School in the basement until they get enough cash to do the group’s long-awaited comeback justice, and then relaunch with a handful of graduations (UEE and Jungah, obviously) and a number of fresh new members. Maybe even do a survival program, something similar to The KARA Project, and have Kahi and Jungah as judges.
And it wouldn’t be a bad idea to rehire Shinichi Osawa, who did the group’s ridiculously good Japanese singles “Heaven” and “Shh,” although his sound might not be commercial enough for Korea.
Either way, I look forward to an After School comeback. I refuse to give up hope!

The International Tax Review Quotes Mark Allison: Phase II of the AJAC May Increase U.S. Litigation
August 13, 2014, International Tax Review
Phase II of the AJAC May Increase U.S. Litigation »
The International Tax Review quoted Mark D. Allison regarding Phase II of the Appeals Judicial Approach and Culture (AJAC) project. The main objective of the project is to promote a judicial approach and improve perceptions of the IRS's Appeals division. While the project has been a success, gray areas still exist for taxpayers. For the complete article, please click on the link above to view a PDF.
Excerpt taken from the article.
"It remains unclear the extent to w hich taxpayers may raise new arguments as opposed to new facts, the latter of which could result in the case being sent back to the Examination division for reconsideration or evaluation," said Mark Allison of Caplin & Drysdale. "We have observed this tension in cases w here taxpayers develop new arguments in the protest to the Appeals division in response to the Examination division's proposed adjustments, but w hich the Examination division may assert requires new consideration by its function before the case can be referred to Appeals."
"This creates a circular problem because every time the taxpayer reacts to a new position by Exam it could be view ed as a new fact and the cycle cannot be broken," added Allison.

Board-certified neuropsychologist Brian Lebowitz, PhD and associate clinical professor of neurology at Stony Brook University, explains to MensHealth.com that the term "encompasses so many things," including prescription medications. Brain enhancers fall into two different categories: naturally occurring substances like Ginkgo biloba, creatine and phenibut; and manmade prescription drugs, like Adderall, and over-the-counter supplements such as Noopept.
Two additional studies assessed the effects of d-AMP on visual–motor sequence learning, a form of nondeclarative, procedural learning, and found no effect (Kumari et al., 1997; Makris, Rush, Frederich, Taylor, & Kelly, 2007). In a related experimental paradigm, Ward, Kelly, Foltin, and Fischman (1997) assessed the effect of d-AMP on the learning of motor sequences from immediate feedback and also failed to find an effect.
Potassium citrate powder is neither expensive nor cheap: I purchased 453g for $21. The powder is crystalline white, dissolves instantly in water, and largely tasteless (sort of saline & slightly unpleasant). The powder is 37% potassium by weight (the formula is C6H5K3O7) so 453g is actually 167g of potassium, so 80-160 days’ worth depending on dose.
If you’re concerned with using either supplement, speak to your doctor. Others will replace these supplements with something like Phenylpiracetam or Pramiracetam. Both of these racetams provide increased energy levels, yielding less side-effects. If you do plan on taking Modafinil or Adrafinil, it’s best to use them on occasion or cycle your doses.
The Trail Making Test is a paper-and-pencil neuropsychological test with two parts, one of which requires shifting between stimulus categories. Part A simply requires the subject to connect circled numbers in ascending order. Part B requires the subject to connect circled numbers and letters in an interleaved ascending order (1, A, 2, B, 3, C….), a task that places heavier demands on cognitive control. Silber et al. (2006) analyzed the effect of d-AMP on Trails A and B and failed to find an effect.
But where will it all stop? Ambitious parents may start giving mind-enhancing pills to their children. People go to all sorts of lengths to gain an educational advantage, and eventually success might be dependent on access to these mind-improving drugs. No major studies have been conducted on the long-term effects. Some neuroscientists fear that, over time, these memory-enhancing pills may cause people to store too much detail, cluttering the brain. Read more about smart drugs here.
Nootropics are a great way to boost your productivity. Nootropics have been around for more than 40 years and today they are entering the mainstream. If you want to become the best you, nootropics are a way to level up your life. Nootropics are always personal and what works for others might not work for you. But no matter the individual outcomes, nootropics are here to make an impact!
Most diehard nootropic users have considered using racetams for enhancing brain function. Racetams are synthetic nootropic substances first developed in Russia. These smart drugs vary in potency, but they are not stimulants. They are unlike traditional ADHD medications (Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse, etc.). Instead, racetams boost cognition by enhancing the cholinergic system.
…Phenethylamine is intrinsically a stimulant, although it doesn’t last long enough to express this property. In other words, it is rapidly and completely destroyed in the human body. It is only when a number of substituent groups are placed here or there on the molecule that this metabolic fate is avoided and pharmacological activity becomes apparent.
In the nearer future, Lynch points to nicotinic receptor agents – molecules that act on the neurotransmitter receptors affected by nicotine – as ones to watch when looking out for potential new cognitive enhancers. Sarter agrees: a class of agents known as α4β2* nicotinic receptor agonists, he says, seem to act on mechanisms that control attention. Among the currently known candidates, he believes they come closest “to fulfilling the criteria for true cognition enhancers.”
The hormone testosterone (Examine.com; FDA adverse events) needs no introduction. This is one of the scariest substances I have considered using: it affects so many bodily systems in so many ways that it seems almost impossible to come up with a net summary, either positive or negative. With testosterone, the problem is not the usual nootropics problem that that there is a lack of human research, the problem is that the summary constitutes a textbook - or two. That said, the 2011 review The role of testosterone in social interaction (excerpts) gives me the impression that testosterone does indeed play into risk-taking, motivation, and social status-seeking; some useful links and a representative anecdote:
My general impression is positive; it does seem to help with endurance and extended the effect of piracetam+choline, but is not as effective as that combo. At $20 for 30g (bought from Smart Powders), I’m not sure it’s worthwhile, but I think at $10-15 it would probably be worthwhile. Sulbutiamine seems to affect my sleep negatively, like caffeine. I bought 2 or 3 canisters for my third batch of pills along with the theanine. For a few nights in a row, I slept terribly and stayed awake thinking until the wee hours of the morning; eventually I realized it was because I was taking the theanine pills along with the sleep-mix pills, and the only ingredient that was a stimulant in the batch was - sulbutiamine. I cut out the theanine pills at night, and my sleep went back to normal. (While very annoying, this, like the creatine & taekwondo example, does tend to prove to me that sulbutiamine was doing something and it is not pure placebo effect.)
An additional complexity, related to individual differences, concerns dosage. This factor, which varies across studies and may be fixed or determined by participant body weight within a study, undoubtedly influences the cognitive effects of stimulant drugs. Furthermore, single-unit recordings with animals and, more recently, imaging of humans indicate that the effects of stimulant dose are nonmonotonic; increases enhance prefrontal function only up to a point, with further increases impairing function (e.g., Arnsten, 1998; Mattay et al., 2003; Robbins & Arnsten, 2009). Yet additional complexity comes from the fact that the optimal dosage depends on the same kinds of individual characteristics just discussed and on the task (Mattay et al., 2003).
None of that has kept entrepreneurs and their customers from experimenting and buying into the business of magic pills, however. In 2015 alone, the nootropics business raked in over $1 billion dollars, and web sites like the nootropics subreddit, the Bluelight forums, and Bulletproof Exec are popular and packed with people looking for easy ways to boost their mental performance. Still, this bizarre, Philip K. Dick-esque world of smart drugs is a tough pill to swallow. To dive into the topic and explain, I spoke to Kamal Patel, Director of evidence-based medical database Examine.com, and even tried a few commercially-available nootropics myself.
Took pill #6 at 12:35 PM. Hard to be sure. I ultimately decided that it was Adderall because I didn’t have as much trouble as I normally would in focusing on reading and then finishing my novel (Surface Detail) despite my family watching a movie, though I didn’t notice any lack of appetite. Call this one 60-70% Adderall. I check the next evening and it was Adderall.
Bacopa is a supplement herb often used for memory or stress adaptation. Its chronic effects reportedly take many weeks to manifest, with no important acute effects. Out of curiosity, I bought 2 bottles of Bacognize Bacopa pills and ran a non-randomized non-blinded ABABA quasi-self-experiment from June 2014 to September 2015, measuring effects on my memory performance, sleep, and daily self-ratings of mood/productivity. Because of the very slow onset, small effective sample size, definite temporal trends probably unrelated to Bacopa, and noise in the variables, the results were as expected, ambiguous, and do not strongly support any correlation between Bacopa and memory/sleep/self-rating (+/-/- respectively).
Common environmental toxins – pesticides, for example – cause your brain to release glutamate (a neurotransmitter). Your brain needs glutamate to function, but when you create too much of it it becomes toxic and starts killing neurons. Oxaloacetate protects rodents from glutamate-induced brain damage.[17] Of course, we need more research to determine whether or not oxaloacetate has the same effect on humans.
When I spoke with Jesse Lawler, who hosts the podcast Smart Drugs Smarts, about breakthroughs in brain health and neuroscience, he was unsurprised to hear of my disappointing experience. Many nootropics are supposed to take time to build up in the body before users begin to feel their impact. But even then, says Barry Gordon, a neurology professor at the Johns Hopkins Medical Center, positive results wouldn’t necessarily constitute evidence of a pharmacological benefit.
Although piracetam has a history of “relatively few side effects,” it has fallen far short of its initial promise for treating any of the illnesses associated with cognitive decline, according to Lon Schneider, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. “We don’t use it at all and never have.”
I take my piracetam in the form of capped pills consisting (in descending order) of piracetam, choline bitartrate, anhydrous caffeine, and l-tyrosine. On 8 December 2012, I happened to run out of them and couldn’t fetch more from my stock until 27 December. This forms a sort of (non-randomized, non-blind) short natural experiment: did my daily 1-5 mood/productivity ratings fall during 8-27 December compared to November 2012 & January 2013? The graphed data28 suggests to me a decline:
Since dietary supplements do not require double-blind, placebo-controlled, pharmaceutical-style human studies before going to market, there is little incentive for companies to really prove that something does what they say it does. This means that, in practice, nootropics may not live up to all the grandiose, exuberant promises advertised on the bottle in which they come. The flip side, though? There’s no need to procure a prescription in order to try them out. Good news for aspiring biohackers—and for people who have no aspirations to become biohackers, but still want to be Bradley Cooper in Limitless (me).
The important factors seem to be: #1/MR6 (Creativity.self.rating, Time.Bitcoin, Time.Backups, Time.Blackmarkets, Gwern.net.linecount.log), #2/MR1 (Time.PDF, Time.Stats), #7/MR7 (Time.Writing, Time.Sysadmin, Time.Programming, Gwern.net.patches.log), and #8/MR8 (Time.States, Time.SRS, Time.Sysadmin, Time.Backups, Time.Blackmarkets). The rest seem to be time-wasting or reflect dual n-back/DNB usage (which is not relevant in the LLLT time period).
Your mileage will vary. There are so many parameters and interactions in the brain that any of them could be the bottleneck or responsible pathway, and one could fall prey to the common U-shaped dose-response curve (eg. Yerkes-Dodson law; see also Chemistry of the adaptive mind & de Jongh et al 2007) which may imply that the smartest are those who benefit least23 but ultimately they all cash out in a very few subjective assessments like energetic or motivated, with even apparently precise descriptions like working memory or verbal fluency not telling you much about what the nootropic actually did. It’s tempting to list the nootropics that worked for you and tell everyone to go use them, but that is merely generalizing from one example (and the more nootropics - or meditation styles, or self-help books, or getting things done systems - you try, the stronger the temptation is to evangelize). The best you can do is read all the testimonials and studies and use that to prioritize your list of nootropics to try. You don’t know in advance which ones will pay off and which will be wasted. You can’t know in advance. And wasted some must be; to coin a Umeshism: if all your experiments work, you’re just fooling yourself. (And the corollary - if someone else’s experiments always work, they’re not telling you everything.)
Another ingredient used in this formula is GABA or Gamma-Aminobutyric acid; it’s the second most common neurotransmitter found in the human brain. Being an inhibitory neurotransmitter it helps calm and reduce neuronal activity; this calming effect makes GABA an excellent ingredient in anti-anxiety medication. Lecithin is another ingredient found in Smart Pill and is a basic compound found in every cell of the body, with cardiovascular benefits it can also help restore the liver. Another effect is that it works with neurological functions such as memory or attention, thus improving brain Effectiveness.
Accordingly, we searched the literature for studies in which MPH or d-AMP was administered orally to nonelderly adults in a placebo-controlled design. Some of the studies compared the effects of multiple drugs, in which case we report only the results of stimulant–placebo comparisons; some of the studies compared the effects of stimulants on a patient group and on normal control subjects, in which case we report only the results for control subjects. The studies varied in many other ways, including the types of tasks used, the specific drug used, the way in which dosage was determined (fixed dose or weight-dependent dose), sample size, and subject characteristics (e.g., age, college sample or not, gender). Our approach to the classic splitting versus lumping dilemma has been to take a moderate lumping approach. We group studies according to the general type of cognitive process studied and, within that grouping, the type of task. The drug and dose are reported, as well as sample characteristics, but in the absence of pronounced effects of these factors, we do not attempt to make generalizations about them.
He used to get his edge from Adderall, but after moving from New Jersey to San Francisco, he says, he couldn’t find a doctor who would write him a prescription. Driven to the Internet, he discovered a world of cognition-enhancing drugs known as nootropics — some prescription, some over-the-counter, others available on a worldwide gray market of private sellers — said to improve memory, attention, creativity and motivation.
l-Theanine – A 2014 systematic review and meta-analysis found that concurrent caffeine and l-theanine use had synergistic psychoactive effects that promoted alertness, attention, and task switching;[29] these effects were most pronounced during the first hour post-dose.[29] However, the European Food Safety Authority reported that, when L-theanine is used by itself (i.e. without caffeine), there is insufficient information to determine if these effects exist.[34]

Not the best outcome so far here for BW. At minimum he should try to just get back to a school and see if he can earn a scholarship. Preferably close to home. A school such as N. Iowa or Iowa St, etc. Besides football opportunities, he needs to at least finish his degree and do something positive with his life.
Something obviously went sour between BW and the Iowa coaches.
Although this is not the end of the world for BW. Maybe he would be wise and see if he can patch things up with the young lady and settle down with her and see if they can make it work.
There is no confirmed fact that any 2nd girl got pregnant. If that was indeed the case though, this really complicates things big time.
I can understand some of you guys berating BW for his choices, but imho the whole purpose of sites such as Caste is to support our athletes and young men and women in their greatest time of need. It's easy to love and support folks when they are on top. It's lonely for people when they screw up. Have some compassion and many young people make poor choices.
Yes, this is not exactly getting drunk at a party and getting into a fight or something. It's much more life altering for BW.
Having said that, it's not a bad thing and will (hopefully) make BW grow up faster and focus his life.
Really, something is truly off with 'white people' when it comes to having children, especially when young.
You notice this streak of embarrassment or that they are not happy at beautiful new babies.
in the grand scheme, this is a wonderful thing. BW and the Mom should be thrilled.
You think those millions of Mexicans would be upset and shamed at a new born? LOL, no way, that's a celebration to them. That is what they so.
Wait until this rumor of a 2nd girl getting pregnant and who it may be before passing total judgment on BW.
BW needs to get his a$$ back to a school and focus his life.
Maybe he should marry the girl and raise a family together.
Good luck to BW and let us hope none of you ever make a poor choice in life.

I am disappointed in Brandon Wegher because he is/was a rare bird, a legit big program White RB. We need him out there on the field, not throwing it all away. There are too few of them out there for White youth to see. We need tons more White RBs in the FBS, not one less. Yeah, everybody makes mistakes. I'm not trying to hold him up to some unrealistic standard of behavior. I'm glad he's going to take responsibility for his actions. That is what he should do. It just pains me to see someone who is in his position do something like that. It will make destroying the caste system that much more difficult without him slashing around and through black defenders.

Brandon did make some bad decisions, but once a child is created there's no sense in going in the past and bashing the decision. All you can do is make the right choices from this point forward. He's still young and hopefully he finds his breakthrough moment and gets everything back on track. Even if it is playing a smaller school and putting the pieces back together, I will still support him in that.
There is a lot to be said about how everyone is there when things are going great but it shows true character to stand behind someone when things aren't so hot. Reminds me of the Tracy Lawrence:
"Everybody wants to slap your back
wants to shake your hand
when you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way then you slide back down look up
and see who's around then
This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times when
A lot of folks jump off"

Old thread but ill post my opinion anyway. Wegher transfered from iowa because he was not given a fair shot to start, he was going start the season #3 RB and He actually wanted to play some safety but the coaches wouldnt let him. <div></div><div>He left OU because he would have to sit out another year even tho he didnt play in 2010 which was bs. The whole him getting Adam Robinsons sister pregnat is bstoo ARob doesnt have a sister</div>
AJ, Jun 26, 2011
My guess is he has to sit this season out correct?

White Power, Jun 26, 2011
He would have had to sit out this year as well at oklahoma.<div></div><div></div>I bet he ends up at a FCS school like UNI or south dakota state. I've heard he wanted to go to uni instead of oklahoma but one thing or another didnt work out.

Why does he have to sit out yet last year Jeremiah Masoli didn't have to sit out when he tranfered to Mississippi.
hawkeye, Jun 28, 2011
hawkeye said:
all NCAA Division I players that transfer to another Division I school must sit out one year, per NCAA guidelines. the lone caveat to this rule was recently introduced (off the top of my head, i think it was put into place two years ago), and it allows players who have graduated (academically) to transfer to another school for graduate school if A) they still have one year of athletic eligibility remaining, and B) the new school has a Master's program that their previous school did not that they wish to enroll in. that's why Masoli could transfer without penalty and Wegher couldn't.

According to a post on an Iowa State fan forum, Wegher has enrolled at a JUCO for the fall, Iowa Western Community College.
I can find no evidence of this on their website. Although JUCOs don't generally make media announcements for transfer students.

What a shame...what a waste of talent. Eighteen months ago he was running all over Georgia Tech, the ACC champions, in the Orange Bowl on national TV....I think he had 160 yards. I had such high hopes for him...and white RBs in general with Toby almost winning the Heisman that year and the emergence of Peyton in the NFL. Just a darn shame.

Glad he has found some stability in his life and is playing football again but it is a shame he didn't stay at Iowa.
Leonardfan, Oct 2, 2014
So far in his first 3 games..Wegher has 586 yards rushing on 57 carries(Over 10 yard avg.!) & 8 TD's( 3 TD's over 45 yds)....+ 5 receptions for 38 yards & a TD
Who knows...just maybe he can get a shot in the NFL...Those are video game like numbers he's putting up....Don Beebe & Danny Woodhead went to Chadron State & Jeff Query Millikin (DIII schools) and got their opportunities.
NAIA Powerhouse Morningside has obliterated it's opponents by a combined score of 211-35

Wegher has been a healthy scratch for every Carolina game this year. Seems very unlikely now that he will ever get playing time in the NFL. What a shame as he could probably be beastly, but it's the same old same old White RBs have been facing for well over 30 years now.

Brandon Wegher showed tremendous burst as a playmaker in the NFL Pre-season...Coach Rivera had said he has a lot of good football ahead of him..hmmm..had hoped he'd at least be a change-of-pace back his rookie season for Jonathan Stewart. Wegher can be a legit Full-time Feature Back in a fair world.... he is already 25....the next two seasons will prove to be crucial for him...he's better than just Special teams duty...but right Don; nearly 30 years of this crap it is hard to be optimistic...
5th Round rookie Cameron Artis-Payne is certainly nothing special ...yet was allowed to get 12 carries this season for a whopping 31 yards...
Since white media is not allowed to talk about ithe elephant-n-the room...get George Wrighster, Chris Carter, Irvin, Wilbon , etc....to continue with this! All of the recent McCaffrey attention("shattering stereotypes") opened a can of worms i'm sure lame-stream media will be ordered to shut down ASAP...

Chair #96, Arts & Crafts Chairs, c.1885-1905, Towards Modernism
C.R. Mackintosh
Chair, c.1903
Ebonised oak and beech and original rush
This chair comes from a set of 137 designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for the Willow Tea Rooms, Glasgow. It was probably made by Alexander Martin, Glasgow, and is one of a pair.
A chair, c.1903. The tall and narrow ladder back is dished to accommodate the sitter between angled rectangular back posts; the trapezoid slip seat is rushed and raised on slender square legs, joined by a spindle front stretcher and with double side stretchers.
H: 41” (104cm) Seat height: 16 ½ ” (42cm) W:18 ” (46cm) D: 15 ½ “ (39cm)
Designer/Maker
C. R. Mackintosh
Oak, beech, and possibly other woods, rush.
This design was first produced for the Willow Tea Rooms, Glasgow, which opened in 1904.
The back is formed of two oak posts into which the curved slats or ‘rungs’ are tenoned. The seat rails are presumably tenoned into the back posts and into the tops of the front legs, the front rail likewise. There is an additional seat rail which supports the back of the seat and is tenoned into the side rails. All four corners are braced with shaped and screwed braces. All stretchers are turned and presumably doweled into their respective legs. The back of the chair has slim oak batten screwed across the top, which could be original but equally could be a later addition. The slip seat is constructed in the traditional manner with oak corner blocks and roughly-shaped rails woven with rush; however, it is not a good fit in the rails and the inside front corners of the rails are radiused as if to accept an upholstered seat. The seat may not be original.
The brace at the back of the seat rail is marked 61.
The whole chair is covered with a dark wash to suggest an ebonised finish. There has been a great deal of re-touching and in many exposed areas e.g., the seat rails, the wash has largely worn off. The chair is now sound but the design clearly has inherent structural problems, particularly where the curved rungs are fitted into the uprights; there are numerous repairs at these points, indicating that the mortises were cut too close to the edge of the post.
This is a well-known Mackintosh design, first produced for the Willow Tea Rooms, on Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. These opened in 1904, but it is thought most of the furniture was designed between July and November 1903.

Grading the Bruins’ Game Two Performance
Posted by @JamieGatlin1217 | May 2, 2018 | Bruins, NHL | 0
@demalia_lorenzo Game Two Grade
Much has been made about the officiating after the Bruins dropped game two. Most of that criticism is justified, as the Bruins were on the wrong side of some bad calls all night. But even if the officials did not stink up the place the Bruins were not the better team that night. Tampa took it to them all game long and out worked them in every aspect of the game. The Bruins did not have a shot on goal for most of the first period and were out shot 31-20 on the night. They were also playing on their heels far too much, not making enough plays through the neutral zone and getting quality second chances.

The Bruins just could not handle the pressure the Lightning put on them all game. But it was not just the Lightning, it was the Bruins’ sloppy play that cost them the game. The B’s turned the puck over 13 times and Tampa had eight takeaways. Both are far too many against a team of Tampa’s stature. The Bruins were also noticeable less physical than the Lightning, as they got out hit 42-24. Overall, everyone will take a split in Tampa heading back to Boston for Game 3. But if the Bruins want to get back on track, they need to tighten things up through the neutral zone and clean up the turnovers.
Grade: D
@JamieGatlin1217 Game Two Grade
The Bruins knew Tampa Bay would come into Game 2 highly motivated after being dominated on their home ice in Game 1. The Bruins struggled offensively in the beginning, as they were unable to record a shot on net in the first thirteen minutes of the game. They fell behind early as Tampa scored the game’s first goal eleven minutes in. The Bruins gained some momentum later in the first period, as Charlie McAvoy scored his first goal of the postseason to tie the game at one.
Tampa Bay scored the next two goals while the Bruins struggled with their puck management. Rask played well in this game, but turnovers hurt the Bruins and led to good scoring opportunities that Tampa Bay capitalized on. In the third period Torey Krug cut Tampa’s lead to one. The Bruins seemed poised to tie it after Marchand got a breakaway that was broken up after he was clearly slashed on the hands by Anton Stralman. This was one of the many controversial calls by the officials that changed the momentum of the game. Tampa put the game out of reach with an empty net goal that made it 4-2 with less than thirty seconds left.
Photo Credit: Douglas R. Clifford/ Tampa Bay Times
Overall Grade C: In Game 3 they will need to put the puck in the net. They will have to tighten up on defense as stretch passes and turnovers have hurt them all year. They will need to be more physical and help Rask. If they can do this then Game 3 could end very differently than Game 2.
@Lizzie88 Game Two Grade
The Bruins knew Tampa was going to come out strong after losing 6-3 on home ice. The Bolts hit back, and Boston just couldn’t catch up. In the first 13 minutes, the Bruins were held without a shot on net. The Black and Gold fell behind, and for once it wasn’t all on Rask. The Bruins were a bit sloppy at times before changing the momentum after Charlie McAvoy tied the game up in the first period. But the night belonged to Tampa. One thing stood out in this game and continues to be a problem throughout the league: the inconsistent officiating in the NHL. Not to use it as an excuse for how disjointed the Bruins looked, but blatant missed calls can change the play of the game.
After Krug brought the B’s within one goal in the third, Brad Marchand was poised to tie the game on a breakaway. However a head scratcher non call stopped the B’s momentum as Marchand was clearly slashed on his hands by Anton Stralman. The interesting part is Torey Krug got called on a “slash”–a love tap up against the pad that did not interfere with any play. Other non calls included a clear cross check to David Pastrnak against the boards. And for the refs, an even more frustrating aspect is the continued shifting of players during the face off. As a fan of the game, just drop the puck.
Photo Credit: NHL. Com
The Bruins need to play better, hit better, and just shoot the puck on net. This series is expected to be chippy and exhausting. The B’s will be bringing the series back to Boston tonight, and with home ice advantage, the Garden will be vibrating. Let’s hope the boys will feed off the crowd and win these next two games. As Marchand puts it:
“We have home ice advantage now, we’ll go home. This games’ over, it’s done with and we’ll move on”
OVERALL GRADE: C- The Bruins need to stop with those turnovers. It’s been their issue all season long. Top line is allowed one off night. Tighten up the D, help Rask out more and get more physical. This series won’t be easy. Stay out of the penalty box, hoping the refs will call a better game.

If Richard Madeley’s episode has inspired you to follow in the footsteps of the first settlers, or more recent ancestors who made the long journey across the Atlantic, Kimberly Powell puts you on the right path...
Since the founding of the Plymouth Colony in 1620, the area now known as New England has attracted hundreds of thousands of emigrants from Britain. If you have relatives who were among them – whether early settlers like Richard Madeley’s family or more recent arrivals – you are in for a treat.
The rich collection of genealogical and family history material available for the six New England states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont, includes vital and census records, city directories, town records, deeds, maps, probate records, court documents, manuscript collections, and published family histories.
While research in New England is the best way to maximise results, a number of important resources can be searched online or through your local UK Family History Centre run by the Church of Latter-day Saints.

LeBron James Won’t ‘Throw Teammates Under Bus’ After Game 3 Loss
Posted On Apr 22 2018
By : Andrew Freeman
“We’re going to bring it like we (brought) it the first game”. “You’re not going to win many games with 20 turnovers”. “Guys just got to play better, including myself”.
After a fever-dream of a Game 3, the Pacers look to take command of the series in Game 4-here are some things to watch for tonight.
Bogdanovic admitted his key to defending James is staying aggressive, per Mark Monteith of Pacers.com.
Asked to translate, Lue said, “Catch the ball in our spots, don’t push us out to the 3-point line”. Starter Darren Collison and backup Cory Joseph played 528 minutes together in the regular season but just 15 in the first three games of this series. Coach Ty Lou stated after the game that the big man will be good to go for Game 3 on Friday, and Love confirmed that notion, noting that it will hurt, but he’ll wrap it up and play.
And he did not have a whole lot to say in the immediate aftermath of Game 3, either, when in erased a 17-point deficit and then held on for a 92-90 victory over the Cavs. However, Lue revealed in the days that followed the game that he considered Korver to be a part of the “best” lineup the Cavs have.
Forward Bojan Bogdanovic scored 30 points to lift hosts the Indiana Pacers to a come-from-behind 92-90 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who led by 17 at half-time.
Golden State will confirm the first second-round pairing Sunday, as it finishes off the San Antonio Spurs to set up a matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The Cavs routinely get MRIs, I’m told, and this one confirmed that no structural damage was done.
The men from Indianapolis have shown resiliency all season and had to do so again to overcome the 17-point deficit they faced in game three.
“As a player you always want to be out there and play with your team”, Hill said.

Will Chelsea’s Preseason Spell Success or Defeat?
Chelsea placed third in the Premier League last season, but after falling so far behind Liverpool and Manchester City, they’ll want a better performance in the year to come. With standouts like Willian, Salah and Loftus-Cheek staying for the next season, the squad looks strong. But amid rumors of Hazard leaving during Chelsea’s two-window transfer ban, the club will look for the squad to go above and beyond for a good result this season.

What Should Chelsea’s Ambition Be Next Season?
Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world, but there is a feeling this summer things could change at Stamford Bridge… for good. There is a transfer ban over the Blues, Maurizio Sarri has left and so has star player Eden Hazard. Meanwhile, in Frank Lampard, they have appointed a manager who has just one year of experience in management, and that too in the second tier. The feeling among many Chelsea fans is that this could be a crucial summer in the future of the London club.
What Frank Lampard Will Have to Deal with Once He Returns
Frank Lampard, who played for the Chelsea club for 13 seasons, has today been confirmed to become the manager of the team. Lampard declared that he’s very happy to be returning as the coach of Chelsea, as he loves not only the club but also the time he has spent with it.

Despite a top-four finish, making the Carabao Cup final and winning the Europa League this season there has still been a bit of a sour taste left by the season as a whole.

As the time for transfers and changes has arrived, Chelsea seems to be undergoing some major reconstruction as well.

There’s nothing ambiguous about the feelings that the Chelsea faithful hold towards manager Maurizio Sarri at this moment in time.

Novartis taps MorphoSys
by Lloyd Dunlap | Email the author
MorphoSys
PLANEGG (MUNICH), Germany—In an agreement that MorphoSys' CEO Dr. Simon Moroney says, "Locks in all of the benefits of our partnering business model," the company has entered into a broad agreement with Novartis for antibody discovery and development.
According to Moroney, the 10-year program, if it runs its course, will result in payment by Novartis to MorphoSys of $30 million per year in technology access and licensing fees, which will essentially flow to MorphoSys' bottom line. By way of comparison, the company returned net profit of E6 million in 2006. The company will also receive a total of $300 million in research support over the lifetime of the agreement and $400 million in milestone payments, a number Dr. Moroney says is "derived from expectation."
Though the Novartis alliance may indeed "lock in the benefits" of partnering for MorphySys, it also radically alters the scope and thrust of the business model. Moroney says that Novartis will have "preferred access" to his company's HuCAL-based antibody drug discovery platform and he adds, "not exclusive, but preferred." Although he later reveals that "existing partnerships will run their full course but will not be renewed."
Novartis, he notes, a partner over the past three years, has been building an antibody program and is in the clinic with a cancer therapeutic against an undisclosed target. "Novartis has proven to be the best in terms of speed and commitment," he says.
Unstated, perhaps, was the desire to partner with a big pharma in the light of acquisitions Moroney noted in his letter to shareholders in March. Citing them as "further proof of the sustained interest of pharmaceutical groups in antibodies," he cited the acquisition of Abgenix by Amgen, Cambridge Antibody Technology by AstraZeneca, Rinat by Pfizer and NeuTech by Novartis over the previous 18 months.
The deal will combine MorphoSys's and Novartis's research and development capabilities. A team at MorphoSys will be working on targets selected by Novartis, which will then take over for preclinical and clinical development. Novartis becomes MorphoSys's preferred collaborator for HuCAL-based drug discovery, allowing MorphoSys to progress to the next stage of its corporate development, which involves a greater focus on drug discovery and development within the Novartis alliance, and proprietary drug development, thereby substantially reducing MorphoSys's reliance on fee-for-service discovery deals.
The expanded alliance also includes rights to co-detail co-developed products in specific territories through creation of MorphoSys's own sales force.
Referring to the agreement as "a transforming deal for MorphoSys," Dr. Moroney claims the result will be "the broadest antibody pipeline in the industry." Over the lifetime of the agreement the two companies plan to collaborate on double the annual number of therapeutic antibody discovery programs in comparison to their past level of activity. No specific number—past or future—was revealed. "The breadth and size of Novartis' commitment are what stand out," Dr. Moroney sums up.

Important Lessons for HRs from FIFA 2014 World Cup
Krishna Reddy
It doesn’t matter whether you are in Japan or California, news related to the Fifa world cup is going to touch your life.
Whether it’s your office colleague raving about that spectacular goal from the new flying Dutchman, Robin van Persie or your favorite celebrity tweeting their support for their soccer team, you just can’t get away from soccer for this whole month.
While all of us may or may not enjoy football as much as others around us, this world cup has been a revelation in numerous ways. Here are the HR lessons from the world cup.
HR Lessons from FIFA 2014:
Don’t just rely on Past Performances:
Spain, the world champions in 2010 are already knocked out of the 2014 edition. So did France in 2002 after they had won in 1998.
The World cup is as big a stage as it gets and all teams compete very hard to win without regard for the opposition’s reputation or past performances. Every game is a new game.
HR professionals should also consider this when they are hiring candidates who apparently have a stellar track record.
Keep one caveat in mind though that this “stellar performance” should not be too far ago in time. Just like in sport, if someone has been performing well recently s/he is likely to carry that into their next role.
If a candidate’s exceptional performance was a long time ago (say 4 years) then it’s quite possible that the candidate is still basking in the glory of the past. Make sure you are thorough in your evaluation including aspects of their ability to work in teams.
Great individual performers do not necessarily make a great team:
This world cup has been a disaster for teams that were packed with individual superstars. England with Gerard and Rooney, and Spain with Xabi, Iniesta and Diego Costa were knocked out at the group stage.
None of these individuals could make a strong enough impact to rescue their team from leaving early.
Organizations often face similar challenges when their star performers get too comfortable in what they do and the way they do it, sometimes putting themselves above the team.
To avoid falling into this trap of complacency, organizations need to constantly challenge their star performers with different roles that put them out of their comfort zone on a regular basis. Do, this only when your organization has a culture that encourages risk taking.
Culture makes a huge difference:
In football, great teams often come from countries that have a long history of sport. This world cup has seen strong performances from Australia and USA. Both these nations have a strong sporting history.
People in both countries take sports seriously enough to play it, watch it and make their kids play it as well.
Football does not yet have a long history in both these countries but these teams have been putting the fear of god against some of the leading teams. Sample some scores
Netherlands V Australia: 3-2. Australia led 2-1 at one stage
Portugal V USA: 2-2. USA led Portugal 2-1 till the last minute of the game. Incidentally, USA finished above England at the last world cup in South Africa
As more and more kids in these countries start playing football, it starts becoming a part of their culture and this helps forms the nucleus of future great teams. Don’t be surprised if one of these teams wins the world cup in the next 10 years.
Business leader, entrepreneurs, CEO’s and HR professionals or anyone who wants to build a successful sustainable business needs to focus on building a solid work culture, one that touches all employees across the organization.
The external world will inevitably change and present new challenges to the organization ever so frequently. Be prepared for change with a stronger culture.
The World Cup changes every 4 years:
South Africa, the venue for the last world cup in 2010 was as different from the current world up venue, Brazil as chalk and cheese. So will the next world cup in Russia in 2018. Players will have to play in different climates, terrains, different styles and quite likely under different coaches too.
Change is constant, and HR professionals should expect it. The way organizations hire and manage talent has changed significantly in the last few years.
In the USA, the best technology talent ends up joining startups or becoming entrepreneurs themselves. In Asia, the best talent ends up in Multinational Corporations leaving home grown companies and startups struggling.
With the expansion of the EU and its free movement of labor for member countries, Western Europe now finds that the best talent may be coming from Poland, or Latvia or the former eastern bloc countries like Hungary, leaving lesser number of jobs for its own citizens.
Things will change the way you hire and manage talent. So be alert, watch the trend and adapt as necessary.
You can find great “Rockstar” talent anywhere:
Some of teams from lesser known countries have been outstanding in this world cup. Costa Rica topped the Group of Death, knocking out England. Ghana held Germany to a Draw and USA held Portugal.
Premier league club talent scouts in England, Spain and Italy must be licking their lips at finding a treasure trove of talent from these lesser known countries. Expect some of these “rockstar” players to get contracted at very lucrative deals in the coming months.
HR professionals too can find talent from lesser known channels like referrals, internal CV Databases and extended network for their employees. Wisestep brings together all these channels together in one place and makes them easy to use for employers.

that in our city like a football soul is born thanks to two natural talents, football has now become the most popular sport that many young people in our city define football as a part of their lives.
Oh yes, the World Cup 2014 that took place yesterday was very impressive, especially for teams that class aljajair Costa Rica and qualify from the group, I think that should be in acungi thumb is that Costa Rica is very consistent game from the preliminary round to round of 8 large and eventually Dutch lost on penalties.
World Cup to come, I think Germany is still likely to win the game style of collectivity that they demonstrate …

66:1 This is what the Lord says:
“The heavens are my throne
and the earth is my footstool.
Where then is the house you will build for me?
Where is the place where I will rest?
66:2 My hand made them;
that is how they came to be,” says the Lord.
I show special favor to the humble and contrite,
who respect what I have to say.
66:3 The one who slaughters a bull also strikes down a man;
the one who sacrifices a lamb also breaks a dog’s neck;
the one who presents an offering includes pig’s blood with it;
the one who offers incense also praises an idol.
They have decided to behave this way;
they enjoy these disgusting practices.
66:4 So I will choose severe punishment for them;
I will bring on them what they dread,
because I called, and no one responded,
I spoke and they did not listen.
They did evil before me;
they chose to do what displeases me.”
66:5 Hear the word of the Lord,
you who respect what he has to say!
Your countrymen, who hate you
and exclude you, supposedly for the sake of my name,
say, “May the Lord be glorified,
then we will witness your joy.”
But they will be put to shame.
66:6 The sound of battle comes from the city;
the sound comes from the temple!
It is the sound of the Lord paying back his enemies.
66:7 Before she goes into labor, she gives birth!
Before her contractions begin, she delivers a boy!
66:8 Who has ever heard of such a thing?
Who has ever seen this?
Can a country be brought forth in one day?
Can a nation be born in a single moment?
Yet as soon as Zion goes into labor she gives birth to sons!
66:9 “Do I bring a baby to the birth opening and then not deliver it?”
asks the Lord.
“Or do I bring a baby to the point of delivery and then hold it back?”
asks your God.
66:10 Be happy for Jerusalem
and rejoice with her, all you who love her!
Share in her great joy,
all you who have mourned over her!
66:11 For you will nurse from her satisfying breasts and be nourished;
you will feed with joy from her milk-filled breasts.
66:12 For this is what the Lord says:
“Look, I am ready to extend to her prosperity that will flow like a river,
the riches of nations will flow into her like a stream that floods its banks.
You will nurse from her breast and be carried at her side;
you will play on her knees.
66:13 As a mother consoles a child,
so I will console you,
and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
66:14 When you see this, you will be happy,
and you will be revived.
The Lord will reveal his power to his servants
and his anger to his enemies.
66:15 For look, the Lord comes with fire,
his chariots come like a windstorm,
to reveal his raging anger,
his battle cry, and his flaming arrows.
66:16 For the Lord judges all humanity
with fire and his sword;
the Lord will kill many.
66:17 “As for those who consecrate and ritually purify themselves so they can follow their leader and worship in the sacred orchards, those who eat the flesh of pigs and other disgusting creatures, like mice – they will all be destroyed together,” says the Lord. 66:18 “I hate their deeds and thoughts! So I am coming to gather all the nations and ethnic groups; they will come and witness my splendor. 66:19 I will perform a mighty act among them and then send some of those who remain to the nations – to Tarshish, Pul, Lud (known for its archers), Tubal, Javan, and to the distant coastlands that have not heard about me or seen my splendor. They will tell the nations of my splendor. 66:20 They will bring back all your countrymen from all the nations as an offering to the Lord. They will bring them on horses, in chariots, in wagons, on mules, and on camels to my holy hill Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “just as the Israelites bring offerings to the Lord’s temple in ritually pure containers. 66:21 And I will choose some of them as priests and Levites,” says the Lord. 66:22 “For just as the new heavens and the new earth I am about to make will remain standing before me,” says the Lord, “so your descendants and your name will remain. 66:23 From one month to the next and from one Sabbath to the next, all people will come to worship me,” says the Lord. 66:24 “They will go out and observe the corpses of those who rebelled against me, for the maggots that eat them will not die, and the fire that consumes them will not die out. All people will find the sight abhorrent.”

Background: Peritonitis is a quite common surgical emergency. For this condition, many reports have shown that laparoscopic surgery is associated with lower morbidity and mortality. However, the laparoscopic approach to the management of peritonitis remains marginalized in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to financial and technical limitations.
Methods: We conducted a seven-year prospective study on patients with acute generalized peritonitis in Yaoundé, Cameroon. Inclusion criteria were an age range of between 5 to 55 years, admission within 48 hours after the onset of symptoms, hemodynamic stability, and no major comorbidities. Excluded from this study were patients with colonic perforation, prior history of abdominal surgery, or primary and localized peritonitis after proper resuscitation. The patients included were managed via laparoscopy; operative and postoperative data were collected and analyzed. Some technical artifices were used to circumvent the lack of standard equipment.
Results: The study involved twenty-five patients with a mean age of 32.1 years. The etiology of peritonitis was identified as appendicitis in 20 cases, perforated duodenal ulcer in 2 cases, gastric ulcer perforation in 2 cases, and jejunal perforation in 1 case. In two cases (8%), the operation was converted to laparotomy. The postoperative course was uneventful in 21 cases (84%), whereas morbidity was seen in 4 cases (16%); no mortality was recorded. The mean length of hospital stay was 5.5 days.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the laparoscopic management of acute generalized peritonitis in African LMICs is a feasible, safe, and effective surgical option in properly selected patients.

Acute generalized peritonitis (AGP) is one of the most common causes of non-trauma related death (1). Peritonitis may be primary or secondary depending on its causative mechanism. Primary peritonitis rarely requires surgical intervention, unlike the more common secondary peritonitis. Secondary peritonitis is related to intra-abdominal lesions which allow the passage of infectious organisms into the peritoneum (2). Management of secondary peritonitis includes supportive therapy with adequate resuscitation, administration of systemic antibiotics, adequate source control and clearance of all residual collections.
Historically, these objectives were achieved via exploratory laparotomy. The laparoscopy approach was initially contraindicated in such cases due to fear of both an increased bacteremia by pneumoperitoneum (3) and a limited view due to adhesions and bowel distension (4). Nowadays, its known that the laparoscopic management of AGP is feasible and improves patient outcomes, with significantly lower morbidity having been demonstrated (4-9). However, the laparoscopic management of AGP can be technically challenging for surgeons as it involves a steep learning curve and requires advanced laparoscopic suturing skills.
In Africa, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, laparoscopy is still marginalized in daily surgical practice due to the high cost of laparoscopic instruments, the lack of social insurance programs, and the inadequate training programs for both residents and surgeons.
After developing our laparoscopic skills in different procedures such as colectomy (10, 11), hernia repair (12), acute postoperative small bowel obstruction (13), and Heller myotomy (14), we conducted this study with the aim of evaluating the feasibility and outcome of the laparoscopic management of AGP in Cameroon-a low and middle-income country (LMIC).
3.1. Study Design
We conducted a sever-year prospective study from January 2010 to December 2016 in our department (visceral surgery unit of the National Social Insurance Fund Health Center of Yaoundé). Yaoundé is the capital city of Cameroon, a LMIC of central Africa. This institution is a level III health facility. The visceral unit has a total admission capacity of 23 beds. Surgical interventions were carried out by the same team composed of a senior surgeon and three junior surgeons. All procedures conducted by the junior surgeons were performed under the supervision of the senior surgeon.
3.2. Patients
In this study, we included all patients with AGP aged between 5 to 55 years, admitted within 48 hours after the onset of symptoms, who were hemodynamically stable with no major comorbidities, namely ischemic heart disease, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, severe sepsis, and severe coagulopathy. AGP was defined as any acute abdominal pain with generalized tenderness, typical presentation on abdominal X-ray, ultrasonography or CT, and peroperatively a diffuse intra-abdominal infection extending beyond the transverse mesocolon (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Generalized peritonitis with diffuse effusion in subdiaphracmatic region (A) and in the pelvic space (B)
Excluded from this study were patients with colonic perforation, prior history of abdominal surgery, as well as patients with primary peritonitis, localized peritonitis, preoperative shock, and those for whom laparotomy was performed in first intention.
Each patient provided consent prior to inclusion in the study. Formal consent was obtained from the parents/guardians of underage patients.
3.3. Preoperative Management
We inserted a nasogastric tube for each patient, besides a urinary catheter if needed. Crystalloid intravenous fluids were administrated with triple antibiotic therapy (cephalosporin, metronidazole, and an aminoglycoside).
Routine laboratory tests were done. All patients underwent abdominal X-rays; in the case where X-ray was not conclusive, an ultrasonography or CT-scan was performed.
3.4. Surgical Procedure
Under general anesthesia, we inserted a 10 mm optic port in the supra-umbilical region by “open-coelioscopy”, and pneumoperitoneum was achieved via this access. A systematic and thorough visual exploration of the abdominal cavity was performed to identify the organs involved.
If a gastric/duodenal perforation was found (Figure 2), two or three 5 mm working ports were inserted (in both flanks and in the epigastric region if needed) under sight control, and intracorporeal suturing was performed in interrupted fashion using absorbable 3/0 sutures without an omental patch.
Figure 2. Perforated duodenal ulcer
In the case of appendicular etiology (Figure 3), two working ports (right flank and suprapubic area) were inserted. If the appendix was gangrenous and its base was digested, intracorporeal appendectomy was performed (appendix ligated via intracorporeal sutures) and the appendix was removed via a sterile glove finger used as an endobag. In non-gangrenous forms, the appendix was exteriorized via the supra-umbilical or flank port and resected after ligation.
Figure 3. Appendicitis with necrotic base
If a small bowel perforation was found, intracorporeal suturing was performed.
In all cases, a thorough cleaning of the peritoneal cavity was performed using saline, with special attention being directed to sloping areas. In the case of a large gastric/duodenal perforation (size > 2 cm) or a gangrenous appendix base, a catheter drain was inserted via one port site in the subhepatic or pelvic space, respectively.
3.5. Postoperative Management
The nasogastric tube and urinary catheter were removed within 48 hours following surgery. Commencement of feeds was dependent on nasogastric output and presence of bowel opening signs. All patients were commenced on clear feeds (such as water, clear fruit juices), which was escalated to full feed and solid diet as tolerated thereafter.
Therapeutic antibiotics were continued postoperatively for a duration depending on the resolution of the signs of infection. Patients with gastric/duodenal perforation were prophylactically placed under H. pylori eradication therapy.
Demographics, preoperative findings, surgical record and duration, intraoperative complications, conversion, length of hospitalization, wound complications, presence of ileus (defined as daily nasogastric output > 500 mL, nil passing of flatus), need for repeat operations, and mortality were reviewed.
Using the patient selection flowchart shown in Figure 4, 32 patients met our inclusion criteria, though laparoscopy was not possible in 7 cases (21.9%) due to the high cost of the laparoscopic procedure (patients without insurance) or the unavailability of the laparoscopic column (out of order). Our study group therefore comprised 25 patients, among whom 15 were male and 10 were female, with a mean age of 32.1 years (range: 6 - 55). The mean duration of symptoms at admission was 25.2 hours (range: 12 - 48); the most common symptoms were diffuse abdominal pain (100%), fever (75%), and abdominal tenderness (98%). All patients (100%) had leukocytosis. The diagnosis of AGP was advocated clinically in all cases. Imaging investigations consisted mostly of ultrasound (18 cases; 72%), followed by abdominal X-ray (4 cases; 16%) and abdominal CT (3 cases; 12%).

In 6 cases (24%), the preoperative exams were unable to determine the etiology of the peritonitis. By laparoscopic exploration, we were able to identify this etiology in all cases, meaning a laparoscopic diagnosis accuracy of 100%.
The cause of peritonitis (Table 1) was appendicitis in 20 cases (80%), perforated duodenal ulcer in 2 cases (8%), gastric ulcer perforation in 2 cases (8%), and jejunal perforation (after an abdominal blunt trauma) in 1 case (4%).

Two cases (8%) were converted to laparotomy due to massive bowel distension related to appendicitis with difficulties in performing the appendectomy. These two cases occurred within the first year of our study. For the remaining 23 cases, we were able to perform the entire procedure through laparoscopy, meaning a therapeutic accuracy of 92%.
The mean operative time of laparoscopic repair was 78 min (range: 45 - 118). No peroperative complications were recorded. The postoperative course was uneventful in 21 cases (84%), whereas morbidity was recorded in 4 cases (16%), among which were the 2 cases converted to laparotomy (wound infection in one case, prolonged ileus in the other). When considering the 23 procedures conducted entirely through laparoscopy, morbidity was recorded in 2 cases (8%), including a superficial port site infection and a case of a residual pelvic abscess drained laparoscopically at postoperative day 4. The re-intervention rate in this group was thus 4%.
When the procedure was performed entirely via laparoscopy, oral feeding was started 36.7 hours (range: 18 - 144) after surgery on average. No mortalities were recorded.
The mean length of hospital stay was 5.5 days (range: 5 - 8).

To date, few studies have focused on the laparoscopic management of AGP in Africa, with no such study having been conducted previously in Cameroon. AGP remains a great challenge in most African countries, with data on the burden and outcome of this pathology being scarce. Furthermore, surgeons in Africa face difficulties related to inadequate medical equipment, absence of health insurance, inadequate programs for residents/surgeons, and limited access to intensive care units. This study demonstrates that the laparoscopic management of AGP in African LMICs is a feasible surgical approach for properly selected cases, with a high diagnosis and therapeutic yield, as well as reasonable open conversion and postoperative complication rates.
Laparoscopic surgery has become popular over the past two decades but remains controversial in the management of some abdominal surgical emergencies such as acute small bowel obstruction and AGP. However, a policy of universal laparotomy for all patients with AGP in the era of minimally invasive surgery is unjust due to both short-term and long-term morbidities (15). Studies have shown that emergency laparotomies are associated with 5% mortality, 20% morbidity, and a 3% long-term risk of bowel obstruction (16). In Africa, exploratory laparotomies for AGP are associated with 9.2 to 31.5% morbidity and 2.4 to 15.1% mortality (1, 17); when considering peritonitis due to typhoid perforation of the terminal ileum, this mortality rate rises to 34.7% (1). Several studies have demonstrated the efficiency of the laparoscopic approach in peritoneal lavage and closure of bowel perforations, which has significantly lower morbidity than open surgery (4-9). The major benefits of laparoscopic surgery stem from the requirement of only a few small incisions, which results in improved recovery, better cosmetic outcomes, and less pain compared with open surgery (15).
In line with the position paper of the World Society of Emergency Surgery (5), we believe that proper selection of patients to be managed via laparoscopy is fundamental. We started our practice in this study by excluding all patients who were in shock, had severe comorbidities, or were too young or too old (old according to the Cameroonian life expectancy of 57.93 years). We believe that in these patients, the risks related to pneumoperitoneum and the high median duration of laparoscopic surgery (4, 15) are too elevated, meaning that open surgery here is the best surgical approach. In the same way, we excluded patients with a past history of abdominal surgery because of the risk of performing adhesiolysis and extended operative time. In Africa, late presentation of AGP is a major concern; some patients with peritonitis have been seen in hospitals 13 days after the onset of symptoms (18, 19). These patients present with major bowel distension and important hydroelectrolytic disorders, leading to poor surgical prognosis. Poverty, illiteracy, first resort to traditional medicine/self-medication, and unavailability of medical facilities are some reasons for such delays in hospitalization. We therefore decided to also exclude patients who were received more than 48 hours after the onset of the first symptom. Our restrictive inclusion criteria explain the relatively limited numbers of patients in this study. Moreover, seven patients who met the inclusion criteria could not be managed via laparoscopy and were also excluded from the study. Indeed, our department has only one column of laparoscopy and it is sometimes unavailable for maintenance reasons. On the other hand, the cost of laparoscopic surgery is higher than that of open surgery, and patients who do not have health insurance often cannot afford laparoscopy. These technical and financial limitations remain as major obstacles to the popularization of laparoscopic surgery in the African continent.
In this study, laparoscopy was a good diagnostic tool of the peritonitis’ etiology, with an accuracy of 100%. This is while in 24% of cases, the preoperative exams were unable to determine the etiology. Similar to our finding, the diagnostic accuracy of laparoscopic exploration has been reported at around 90% (9, 20, 21). The most important challenge to laparoscopic exploration was bowel distension; gentle and methodical bowel mobilization, with the use of an operating table allowing lateral tilts, Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positioning, permitted us to conduct a thorough examination of the abdominal cavity in all cases.
Our conversion rate to open surgery was 8% (2 cases); in both cases, this was due to difficulties in suturing related to bowel distension. This conversion rate is comparable to those of previous studies, which reported 4% - 12% conversion (4, 21, 22). The two converted cases were operated within the first year of our study, with no further conversions occurring thereafter. We believe that by climbing the learning curve and attaining improved laparoscopic skills, it became easier for us to manage such cases with bowel distension over time.
Due to the high cost of laparoscopic instruments and our poor socio-economic milieu, we faced a lack of certain materials like endoloops and endobags. This situation is advocated by some African surgeons as a reason for avoiding laparoscopy. We demonstrated in this study that a sterile glove finger can be used as an endobag to remove a sectioned appendix. We previously described this approach in laparoscopic cholecystectomy for removal of the gallbladder (23). Another technical artifice is the laparoscopic suturing of the appendix base in the absence of an endoloop. We think that these technical artifices can increase the feasibility of laparoscopic management of AGP in LMICs.
Our study demonstrated good results regarding the laparoscopic approach for management of AGP. In 92% of cases, the management was comprised of laparoscopy exclusively, with a mean operative time of 78 min, no peroperative complications, a morbidity rate of 8%, no mortality registered, and a mean hospital stays of 5.5 days. Navez et al. (21) reported the morbidity and mortality of the laparoscopic management of AGP at 9% and 1%, respectively, while Sangrasi et al. (9) reported these figures at 6.2% and 0%, respectively. The largest study conducted in our country on the management of AGP via laparotomy found 31.5% morbidity and 15.1% mortality (1). Even if our study is not comparable to that study (although conducted in the same milieu), we agree with the authors in that the “laparoscopic approach is likely to influence the outcome of patients with AGP” (1). Our operative time is comparable to reports in the literature of about 75 min (24-26).
In a review conducted in 2010, residual abscesses and re-interventions were higher in laparoscopic repair of peritonitis versus open surgery without statistical significance (27). In our study, we found just 1 case (4.34%) of residual pelvic abscess, which was drained laparoscopically at postoperative day 4. Since “dilution with solution is the solution to pollution”, we were able to conduct a meticulous peritoneal lavage under sight in contrast to sponge stick sweep conducted when performing open surgery.
This study had a few limitations. First, we had a small sample and our results, although satisfactory, must be interpreted with modesty, and do not allow us to draw any major conclusions. The other limitation is the heterogeneity of our sample since we included etiologies of both sus- and sub-mesocolic peritonitis.
5.1. Conclusions
This study demonstrates that in African LMICs, the laparoscopic management of AGP for properly selected patients and with the use of some technical artifices is a feasible, safe and effective surgical approach with reasonable open conversion and postoperative complication rates.

The FlyAway shuttle will shut down the bus line between Westwood and Los Angeles International Airport due to low ridership. Although it offers $10 rides each way to and from the airport, students increasingly preferred ride- share options over the shuttle due to slow stops and inconsistent pickup times. The declining number of shuttle users was no longer enough to offset costs of FlyAway operation. What do you think? It was a good idea to remove the Westwood stop for the FlyAway LAX shuttle. Not enough students used it because it could potentially make them late to flights, whereas ride-shares are faster. Shutting down this bus line is a bad idea. The shuttle was affordable, convenient and more environmentally sustainable for transportation to the airport. Cancelling the LAX FlyAway shuttle is neither good nor bad, and does not affect me as a student because I did not use it anyways. I have feelings about this that are not described in the options above. Submit View results without voting »

AMC Theaters reveals movie subscription program, rivals MoviePass
Despite their complicated past, AMC denies that they're throwing down the gauntlet in front of MoviePass and instead told The Verge, "We understand the comparison, but we're focused on our own program and on delivering the very best, most reliable movie-going value option in the entertainment industry, which is what we believe AMC Stubs A-List provides to our guests". Subscribers can see all three movies on the same day if they wish and can watch the same movie repeatedly but can't carry over credits if they see fewer than three films per week.
With the AMC Stubs A List Plan, users can receive up to three movie tickets per week for any available showtime at any US AMC location in virtually any format, including IMAX, Dolby Cinema, RealD 3D, Prime, and BigD. The glaringly obvious advantages that MoviePass has over "Stubs A-List" are that it's half the cost and you can see movies at whatever theater you want. Will AMC Theaters lose money on this service? You can make reservations for movies nearly any time, even if you've already seen them.

The offer includes other incentives, such as free upgrades on popcorn and soda, no online ticket fees and other loyalty bonuses. Further, the addition of Imax to AMC Stubs A-List program will not impact the large format exhibitor's studio arrangements and the incremental attendance should result in increased revenues. Shares of Helios and Matheson Analytics, the parent company of MoviePass, plunged more than 29%.
MoviePass announced that it exceeded 3 million subscribers last week and that it projects it will have more than 5 million by the end of the year.

Poor Little Girl was Bullied & Beaten for her Disability, then these Men Show up to Protect Her
Ashley Wastakiewicz was 7 years old and she has been tormented by an 11 year-old boy that has bullied her for more than a year. The bullying has been so severe that she is afraid to go outside to play. At one point the boy beat her up so badly that she had to go to the hospital.
“She was pushing her bike home and the bully had pushed her to the ground, had kicked her and had punched her in her face,” her mom, Christine said. While the boy’s mother denies the allegations, the young man was charged with assault.
Ashley’s mom created an anti-bullying Facebook page called “Justice for Ashley” to rally support for her. But you can bet that Christine never expected that these heroes would rally around them! Dozens of members of a local motorcycle club showed up in Ashley’s front yard to show their support and maybe show a little bit of intimidation to the neighbor bully!
The bikers walked down the street with Ashley while she rode her scooter. They even paid the bully neighbor a visit. Ashley yelled from the street with pride, “I’m not scared anymore!”
The bikers promised to stay in contact with Ashley and her family. They hope that word will spread and violent and destructive bullying will come to an end. As you watch the video below, you can feel the smile on Ashley’s face.

NOMA and the Jones decision
The Jones decision absolutely reeks of NOMA, and it only works as an establishment clause case on the assumption of NOMA. Were questions of design refuted by Darwinian biology, or were they set aside as metaphysical issues outside the purview of science per se? Did the methodological assumptions of science change over time to preclude design inferences? Are there weaknesses in the Darwinian story that are constantly being papered over? Is Darwinian theory being protected by leaders in the scientific community, using the phobia of creationism to silence honest, and secular criticism of the standard theory? The guy from China said that while in China you can criticize Darwin but not the government, over here you can criticize the government but not Darwin.
If you go by the Jones decision, then biology textbooks are going to have to be checked to make sure they don't have antireligious content in them. Otherwise they violate the establishment clause in just the same way that the Dover statement violated it. How much do you want to bet that you could find lots of violations in many biology textbooks?
What I believe on the other days of the week is that NOMA is true, biology should be metaphysically neutral, and science textbooks should indicate that questions of intelligent design lie outside the purview of science and cannot be settled one way or the other by science. So, evolution is affirmed because science has to work that way, and you can legitimately ask the question of design, but as an extrascientific question that science, per se, cannot answer.
Stardusty Psyche said...
"What I believe on the other days of the week is that NOMA is true,"
--The deistic god is undiscoverable so long as it chooses to remain hidden.
A god that interacts with matter/energy is in principle scientifically discoverable and thus not in an entirely separate magisteria. The god as described in the Torah, NT, and Quran is in this class.
Science could in principle discover Paley's watch. Many candidates have been proposed only to then be scientifically accounted for on naturalism. Thus, the irreducible complexity candidate pool is an ever shrinking set that occupies the ever receding corner of scientific ignorance.
" science textbooks should indicate that questions of intelligent design lie outside the purview of science"
--But they are not wholly outside the purview of science.
" and cannot be settled one way or the other by science."
--Science can settle the lack of necessity of ID for particular observed phenomena.
If theistic hypotheses are scientific hypotheses that can be tested by science, then the Establishment Clause case doesn't work. Even if they are bad theories, there is nothing wrong with presenting them to students.
The fact that advocates of these theories hope for a particular religious outcome from teaching the theory would knock out a lot of biology textbooks as well as such texts as Of Pandas and People, which the Dover statement actually just referenced, and it was not used in the classroom.
As for one way progress knocking out religious hypotheses, two developments have arisen which have made it harder to be, as Dawkins puts it, an intellectually fulfilled atheist. One if the Big Bang theory and the apparent beginning of the universe, which has faced opposition for anti-religious motives, and the fine-tuning of the universe. These make it the case of for naturalism more difficult and complicated, even if they are not fatal to atheism. And there are others. It would have been more convenient for atheists if the fossil record had not been so gappy as not to prompt Gould to come up with punctuated equilibrium, but that didn't happen either.
" If theistic hypotheses are scientific hypotheses that can be tested by science, then the Establishment Clause case doesn't work. Even if they are bad theories, there is nothing wrong with presenting them to students."
--If that particular brand of ID was scientific that would be true, but it isn't, it is only religious, and teaching that which is only religious as science violates the establishment clause.
Public schools are not permitted to advocate religion, only teach about it as a social fact. To present an unscientific and religions view as science in the science class is a violation of the establishment clause.
If the existence of god ever becomes established science then it can and should be taught in science class.
" The fact that advocates of these theories hope for a particular religious outcome from teaching the theory would knock out a lot of biology textbooks "
--I have seen a number of high school biology textbooks. None of them leaned toward any religious outcome so I really do not see your point here.
" One if the Big Bang theory and the apparent beginning of the universe, which has faced opposition for anti-religious motives,"
--The obvious question is what caused the big bang. That is just basic logical inquiry.
" and the fine-tuning of the universe."
--Highly debated and a significant factor in considering inflation, strings, and other cosmological models.
" These make it the case of for naturalism more difficult and complicated,"
--That's the exciting thing about science, it is so very complicated with so much remaining to be learned.
" even if they are not fatal to atheism. And there are others. It would have been more convenient for atheists if the fossil record had not been so gappy as not to prompt Gould to come up with punctuated equilibrium, but that didn't happen either."
--Yes, I have noticed that the universe has a rather annoying habit of not giving a damn about my convenience!

The Power of Content and Video in PR
13/10/2016 / Robert Anderson posted in Branded content, Video / No Comments
From comments I made to Gorkana
We made a call several years ago to develop a best in class content offering (including video production) because we could see the world of communications and marketing was moving in that direction. We knew we had to be great at content as well as the media relations work, and that the two had to be fully integrated.
Producing great content is the coming together of multiple skillsets – strategy and creativity, production and distribution. Typically PRs have been generalists, rather than specialists, but I think that’s changing as the industry evolves.
The real power of video is when it’s irresistibly shareable, and that’s all about creating authentic engagement. PRs have always developed earned relationships, so we know how to produce relevant and topical video for organic take-up. We can’t rely on paid media space for reach – we produce content that has to stand on its own legs and is carried by the power of our influencer relationships.
At Good Relations, we’ve already built a specialist content marketing practice with full service expertise. Our strategy team has developed a proprietary planning methodology to reveal the insights that underpin our creative ideas. We’ve then built our own in-house creative studio, which does everything from shoots to animation. We also launched our specialist broadcast media consultancy this year, Good Broadcast, which specialises in editorial broadcast programming.
