51. BARTON FINK (1991)
March 3, 2010 Gregory J. Smalley (366weirdmovies) 2 Comments
“And the king, Nebuchadnezzar, answered and said to the Chaldeans, I recall not my dream; if ye will not make known to me my dream, and its interpretation, ye shall be cut in pieces, and of your tents shall be made a dunghill.”–Daniel 2:5, the passage Barton reads when he opens his Gideon’s Bible (Note that the Coen’s actually depict it as verse 30, alter the wording slightly, and misspell “Nebuchadnezzar”).
“Writing is easy: All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.”– Gene Fowler
DIRECTED BY: Joel Coen
FEATURING: John Turturro, John Goodman, Michael Lerner, Judy Davis, John Mahoney, Jon Polito, Steve Buscemi
PLOT: Barton Fink is a playwright whose first Broadway show, a play about the common man, is a smash success; his agent convinces him to sell while his stock is high and go to Hollywood to quickly make enough money to fund the rest of his writing career. He arrives in Los Angeles, checks into the eerie art deco Hotel Earle, and is assigned to write a wrestling picture for Wallace Beery by the Capitol pictures studio head himself. Suffering from writer’s block, Barton spends his days talking to the insurance salesman who lives in the room next door and seeking writing advice from alcoholic novelist W.P. Mayhew, until deadline day looms and very strange events begin to take center stage.
At the time, it was widely reported that the Coen brothers wrote the script for Barton Fink while suffering from a mean case of writer’s block trying to complete the screenplay to their third feature film, Miller’s Crossing. The Coens themselves have since said that this description is an exaggeration, saying merely that their writing progress on the script had slowed and they felt they needed to get some distance from Miller’s Crossing by working on something else for a while.
Barton Fink was the first and only film to win the Palme D’or, Best Director and Best Actor awards at the Cannes film festival; after this unprecedented success, Cannes initiated a rule that no film could win more than two awards. Back home in the United States, Barton Fink was not even nominated for a Best Picture, Director or Actor Oscar. It did nab a Best Supporting Actor nom for Lerner.
The character of Barton Fink was inspired by real life playwright Clifford Odets. W.P. Mayhew was based in part on William Faulkner. Jack Lipnick shares many characteristics, including a common birthplace, with 1940s MGM mogul Louis B. Mayer.
Following a definite theme for the year, Judy Davis also played an author’s muse and lover in another surrealistic 1991 movie about a tortured writer, Naked Lunch.
According to the Coens, the final scene with the pelican diving into the ocean was not planned, but was a happy accident.
In interviews the Coens have steadfastly disavowed any intentional symbolic or allegorical reading of the final events of the film, saying”what isn’t crystal clear isn’t intended to become crystal clear, and it’s fine to leave it at that” and “the movie is intentionally ambiguous in ways they [critics] may not be used to seeing.”
INDELIBLE IMAGE: Barton Fink is full of mysterious images that speak beyond the frame. The most popular and iconic picture is John Goodman wreathed in flame as the hallway of the Earle burns behind him. Our pick would probably go to the final shot of the film, where a pelican suddenly and unexpectedly plummets into the ocean while a dazed Barton watches a girl on a beach assume the exact pose of a picture on his hotel wall.
WHAT MAKES IT WEIRD: A nightmarish, expressionistic, and self-satirizing evocation of the difficulty of creation, Barton Fink pokes a sharpened stick into the deepest wounds of artistic self-doubt. A pure mood piece, its amazing ending achieves the remarkable triumph of leaving us with nothing but unanswered questions, while simultaneously feeling complete and whole.
COMMENTS: The most accurate word to describe Barton Fink is “enigmatic.” It’s a work Continue reading 51. BARTON FINK (1991) →

49. A SERIOUS MAN (2009)
NOTE: A Serious Man has been promoted onto the List of 366 Best Weird Movies of all time after initially being placed in the “Borderline Weird” category. For reference, you can read the original borderline weird entry here.
“Even though you can’t figure anything out, you will be responsible for it on the midterm.”–dream dialogue from A Serious Man
FEATURING: Michael Stubargh, Aaron Wolff, Richard Kind, Fred Melamed, Sari Lennick, Fyvush Finkel
PLOT: A Serious Man opens in the indeterminate past with a Jewish couple entertaining a man who may or may not be a dybbuk (ghost) on a snowy night somewhere in Eastern Europe. In 1967, in suburban Minnesota, a Jewish physics professor suffers from an escalating series of problems including a failing marriage, bratty kids, students willing to do anything for a passing grade, financial troubles, and a ne’er-do-well, mildly insane brother. Seeking advice on a life that seems to be spinning out of control, he visits three rabbis, each of whom is less helpful than the last.
Though the film is not autobiographical, Joel and Ethan Coen grew up in suburban Minnesota roughly at the time the events of A Serious Man take place.
The core idea for the movie originated when the Coens considered making a short film about a boy who attends his bar mitzvah stoned. As the story expanded from that scene, the idea was originally to make the father and son’s stories of equal weight, but as the script evolved the story of the elder Gopnik assumed center stage.
The prologue is not an actual Jewish folktale. The Coens searched for an authentic legend to use but finally decided to create their own.
The movie makes extensive reference to quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and the paradox of Schrödinger’s cat, theories of modern physics which suggest that there are limitations on our ability to know basic reality.
The Coens’ script for A Serious Man was nominated for a Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay Oscar. The film won “Best Screenplay” or equivalent awards from the Boston Society of Film Critics, National Board of Review, and National Society of Film Critics.
INDELIBLE IMAGE: The very last shot, which I can’t reveal here.
WHAT MAKES IT WEIRD: Superficially, A Serious Man is only mildly weird. There are a few dream sequences and multiple nonsense parables, but unlike the Coens’ definitely weird Barton Fink, this story of a suburban Jewish man beset by an improbably mounting set of real life woes contains no surrealistic fireworks (although there is a conspicuous surrealistic pillow). On the other hand, A Serious Man has a skeletal undercurrent of ambiguity and disturbance running through it like a bone cancer; it feels weird at its core. With a head-scratching prologue and epilogue bracketing a central fable about a goy’s teeth, the thoughtful and frequently brilliant A Serious Man earns its place on the List by mining the mysteries at the basis of existence.

BORDERLINE WEIRD: A SERIOUS MAN (2009)
November 25, 2009 Gregory J. Smalley (366weirdmovies) 2 Comments
NOTE: A Serious Man has been promoted from the “Borderline” category onto the List of the Weirdest movies of all time! This page is left up for archival purposes. Please view the full review for comments and expanded coverage!
FEATURING: Michael Stubargh, Richard Kind, Fred Melamed, Fyvush Finkel
PLOT: A putzy Jewish physics professor suffers from an escalating series of problems
including a failing marriage, bratty kids, students willing to do anything for a passing grade, financial troubles, and a ne’er-do-well, mildly insane brother.
WHY IT’S ON THE BORDERLINE: While the early leader for Weirdest Movie of 2009, A Serious Man won’t be eligible to be officially added to the List of the 366 Best Weird Movies of All Time until it receives its DVD release and the film can be pored over meticulously by our team of critics. Okay, to be honest, the home video release requirement is a way to buy time, while I let the Coens’ latest ferment in the back cellar of my consciousness. The conundrum is that, superficially, this movie is not that weird; there are a few dream sequences and nonsense parables, but unlike the Coens definitely weird Barton Fink, this story of a suburban Jewish man beset by an improbably mounting set of real life woes contains no surrealistic fireworks (although there is a conspicuous surrealistic pillow). On the other hand, this movie has a skeletal undercurrent of ambiguity and disturbance running through it like a bone cancer; it feels weird at its core. Also, the way it’s currently unsettling and outraging square moviegoers points to a powerfully different movie.
COMMENTS: A Serious Man is a retelling of that most fascinating parable in the Old Testament, the Book of Job, as a postmodern absurdist comedy. The ancient Job was a good and prosperous man; God allowed Satan to test his faith by wiping out his flocks, killing his children, and smiting him with boils. The beleaguered Job, bothered by visits from three unhelpful friends who try to console him with off-base theological speculations, eventually despairs, but never doubts God’s existence or goodness. His only plea is to understand his misfortune, to be able to ask God directly, “Why me?” God, appearing in a whirlwind, bitchslaps Job for his audacity: “who are you to question me, the Author of the Universe? It’s your job to obey and suffer in silence.” (I’m paraphrasing here). After this reproof, God restores Job’s riches and lets him have new Continue reading BORDERLINE WEIRD: A SERIOUS MAN (2009) →

Zutano, the Vermont-based designer of children’s clothing and toys and Northshire Bookstore, the Manchester, VT-based independent bookstore, are proud to announce that they will be launching a Zutano “store-within-a-store” in the upstairs children’s department on June 8th. The Zutano store captures the whimsical essence of Zutano, known for its one-of-a kind colorful patterns and stylish design. The space is modeled after Zutano’s flagship store in Montpelier as well as their store within New York City’s famed FAO Schwarz Toy Store. White-washed bead board wainscoting meets walls painted with Zutano’s signature sunny yellow. The center of the 250 sq. ft. space features an amazing sculptural display made of ‘tumbling’ red baby chairs with spaces for Zutano clothes to hang. A fantastic chandelier created from baby milk bottles casts a warm glow over the entire space. A fixture in the Manchester community for three decades, the Northshire Bookstore is intensely independent. They are deeply connected to the community, authors and Vermont. Housed in a historic, three-story 10,000-square-foot building, the Northshire Bookstore was founded by the Morrow family in 1976. The store, now run by the owners’ son Chris Morrow, has survived in this digital age through its relentless focus on customer service and listening to what customers want. It serves more that 200,000 customers a year, offers 35,000 titles and brings in authors to speak every week. It even provides a “Print on Demand’ service that can print customers’ books while they shop or enjoy lunch at the wonderful Spiral Press CaféZutano, available at more than 1,500 gift and specialty boutiques and retailers worldwide as well as on the web at select e-tailers and the Zutano e-boutique will offer its full product line, from newborn to toddler, of sweet and sophisticated designs to Northshire customers. The store will be staffed by a specially-trained Northshire employee who will know all of the facets of the Zutano product line.”We are thrilled to be working with the Northshire Bookstore, it’s an ideal Vermont business partnership come true,” says Michael Belenky, President of Zutano. “We share so many of the same business philosophies and lifelong dedication to our community in Vermont. Both Zutano and The Northshire have worked many years to build sustainable, long-term partnerships that are economically just and socially sound. Both companies create and nurture policies that help the community we live in thrive at its fullest potential. Being able to join forces and work together with such an anchor in the Manchester community is very special.” “We are really excited to have Zutano’s presence at the Northshire,” says Chris Morrow, owner of the Northshire Bookstore. “We are putting more and more effort into making our Children’s section world class. This is a great opportunity for both partners, as Zutano represents an internationally-respected brand with deep roots in Vermont and the store will be an amazing complement to our product offerings in the children’s department.”For Zutano, 2009 marks the company’s 20th year of creating the most colorful and creative clothing designs for children around the globe.

Source: Communications Coordinator at the College of St Joseph 6.29.2010 College of St Joseph in Rutland, VT, has received a grant of $122,749 from the Vermont Clean Energy Development Fund for upgrades to the college’s residence halls, specifically to install Sto Exterior insulation in the college’s two dorm buildings. The funds from this grant come from monies received by Vermont from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and are distributed by CEDF.The college will combine the CEDF grant with funding formerly received from the Department of Energy through the work of Congressman Peter Welch to rehabilitate the exteriors of both Roncalli and Medaille residence halls. Both halls will have four inches of foam insulation and a stucco surface applied to their exteriors that will address several major issues, including energy efficiency and the need for ongoing exterior maintenance. By the end of the summer, the construction in both halls should be complete.In addition to this major overhaul of the exteriors of both buildings, all of the carpeting in both halls will be removed and replaced with laminate flooring. The college’s maintenance crew will also be doing some rehab work in the bathrooms in each suite.When residents return in the fall, they will find two very different housing facilities. The halls will have a new look outside and in, more stable interior temperature, limited to no interior moisture problems, and brighter and cleaner interiors. read more

Vermont foresters assist New York State in combating emerald ash borer
Two foresters from the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation recently participated in an interstate effort to survey for the emerald ash borer in eastern New York. The emerald ash borer is an invasive insect from Asia, which was detected in Ulster and Greene Counties in New York last summer. The State of New York, with assistance from the US Forest Service, is conducting a survey to delineate the extent of this infestation so that management options to slow the spread of the insect can be developed.Emerald ash borer attacks and kills all species of ash, and threatens over 100 million ash trees growing in Vermont. In 2002, this insect was discovered in the vicinity of Detroit and neighboring Ontario. Since then, it has been found in fifteen states and two Canadian provinces, killing tens of millions of ash trees. Emerald ash borer has never been detected in Vermont, but the eastern New York infestation and an infestation near Montreal are within 50 miles of the state. Outlier populations like these, which are far removed from the primary infested area in the Great Lakes region and close to urban areas, pose the greatest risk in terms of population expansion and economic impact, according to Nate Siegert, US Forest Service entomologist, and technical advisor to the effort in New York.The two foresters joined colleagues from New York and other New England states on the survey crew. They assisted local foresters by inspecting ash trees for woodpecker activity and other evidence of beetle infestation, and collecting ash bolts for closer examination. Team members worked together in a nearby warehouse, debarking the bolts, and dissecting them to look for insect galleries and other signs of emerald ash borer.In addition to providing needed assistance to the State of New York, team participants had the opportunity to learn firsthand how to survey for an insect which may spread to Vermont. ‘I was glad to help’, said Jim Esden, one of the State of Vermont foresters who participated in the week-long assignment. ‘The staff from the New York Department of Environmental Conservation and the US Forest Service are faced with a daunting task to delineate this infestation and slow its spread. They were very helpful and professional. Working with them taught us a lot that may help us in Vermont someday.’The Vermont foresters were also able to observe the level of effort that will be required to address an emerald ash borer infestation. ‘When it shows up, you can’t get rid of it. You’ve just got to manage it’, observed Aaron Hurst, who also worked in New York. State of Vermont agencies are working with federal partners to prepare for emerald ash borer. A Vermont Emerald Ash Borer Action Plan is in place. Over one hundred campgrounds have been surveyed for the insect. In the spring, citizen volunteers interested in becoming Forest Pest First Detectors will be trained to assist their communities with emerald ash borer detection and response.Moving infested firewood over long distances has been the primary cause of emerald ash borer’s rapid expansion over the past nine years. Outbreaks are often found near campgrounds or parks. ‘One of the most important things we can do to protect our forests is to stop moving firewood. It’s really that simple.’ says Jay Lackey, Forestry Specialist with the Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation.

Australia sees sharp drop in brown coal generation, surge in solar and wind output
FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailPrint分享Australian Financial Review:Brown coal generation fell to its lowest level in the history of the modern power grid in the December quarter, as solar and wind generation surged and coal’s retreat was exacerbated by scheduled maintenance and accidents.The development marks another milestone in the evolution of the modern eastern states’ National Electricity Market from a centralised grid dominated by huge thermal generators to a decentralised grid with a constantly changing mix of fossil fuel, solar, wind and hydro energy.Brown coal generation in Victoria was 8227 gigawatt hours in the December quarter, down from 8500 GWh in the December 2017 quarter and well below the 11,000 GWh in the December 2016 quarter, the last full quarter before Hazelwood’s closure in late March 2017, according to data compiled by Dylan McConnell, a researcher at the University of Melbourne’s College of Climate and Energy. Gas generation was also a big loser, plummeting to just 3183 GWh in the December quarter from 5692 GWH in the December 2017 quarter.The big winners were rooftop solar, which surged by more than a quarter to 2690 GWh from a year earlier, utility-scale solar, which increased fivefold to 917 GWh as more large solar farms came online, and wind, up a fifth to 3426 GWh. Hydro generation also grew 17 per cent to 3400 GWh.Black coal generation still dominates the NEM, but its contribution slipped to 27,550 GWh from 27,698 GWh a year earlier. Even so, the trend is unmistakable, with 7200 megawatts of large-scale wind and solar under construction, according to Green Energy Markets, and record rates of solar rooftop installation.More: Brown coal generation drops to lowest for NEM as solar, wind surge Australia sees sharp drop in brown coal generation, surge in solar and wind output read more
Judge rules federal coal sales program requires environmental review
FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailPrint分享Associated Press:A federal judge on Friday ruled that the Trump administration failed to consider potential damage to the environment from its decision to resume coal sales from U.S. lands, but the court stopped short of halting future sales.U.S. District Judge Brian Morris in Montana said Interior Department officials had wrongly avoided an environmental review of their action by describing it “as a mere policy shift.” In so doing, officials ignored the environmental effects of selling huge volumes of coal from public lands, the judge said.The ruling marks another in a string of judicial setbacks for President Donald Trump’s attempts to boost North American energy production.A previous order from Morris blocked the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would transport crude from Canada’s oil sands. Other courts have issued rulings against the administration’s plans for oil and gas leasing and coal mining.More than 40 percent of U.S. coal is mined from federal lands, primarily in Western states. Companies have mined about 4 billion tons of coal from federal reserves in the past decade, contributing $10 billion to federal and state coffers through royalties and other payments.The Obama administration imposed a moratorium on most federal coal sales in 2016. The move followed concerns that low royalty rates paid by mining companies were shortchanging taxpayers and that burning the fuel was making climate change worse. President Donald Trump lifted the moratorium in March 2017 as part of his efforts to revitalize the slumping coal industry.More: Judge: Resumption of U.S. coal sales by Trump needs review Judge rules federal coal sales program requires environmental review read more

In this study, the molecular system for inhibitory aftereffect of Catalpol coordinated with Budesonide (BUD) on allergic airway inflammation was investigated
In this study, the molecular system for inhibitory aftereffect of Catalpol coordinated with Budesonide (BUD) on allergic airway inflammation was investigated. (IFN-)] in BALF had been assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. The expressions of Interleukin-13 (IL-13) and Eotaxin in lung tissues had been assessed by RT-PCR technique. The total variety of cells in the BALF of the group treated with Catalpol and BUD was considerably less than the model group. The cytokines IL-5 and IL-4 exhibited an identical propensity: the concentrations of IL-4 and IL-5 for the Catalpol group had been dramatically reduced weighed against the model group. Nevertheless, the IFN- concentration for the BUD and Catalpol groups were greater than the model group. After treatment with Catalpol+BUD, the eosinophils and neutrophils from the rats had been decreased further, asthma-associated inflammation was inhibited, IL-4 level was additional decreased and IFN- level was increased looking at the Catalpol group as well as the BUD group additional. Moreover, IL-13 expression was correlated with Eotaxin expression. The outcomes indicated that Catapol could inhibit the appearance of Eotaxin and IL-13 in the lung of asthmatic rats, which also exhibited a synergistically inhibitory impact with BUD on airway irritation. It is suggested that Catalpol+BUD might be an effective and potential treatment for the medical therapy of asthma. (Shudihuang) – a common traditional Chinese herbal medicine for nourishing the kidney according to the traditional Chinese medicine theory [16-20]. In earlier studies [21,22], we have demonstrated that the use of large doses of Catalpol injection can significantly mitigate the symptoms of asthma in an OVA-induced rat model, Catalpol is able to inhibit eosinophil infiltration in the asthmatic rats, which may be considered as the anti-asthmatic effect of Catalpol. Furthermore, we showed that after Catalpol treatment, the level of IFN- the in the serum of rats significantly improved, but the level of IL-4 decreased, suggesting that Catalpol improved the balance of the percentage IL-4/IFN- in asthma. These results and findings indicate that Catalpol may become a encouraging drug for the treatment of asthma. Carnosic Acid However, you will find little to no studies on the mechanism of synergistic effect of Catapol and additional methods in the treatment of asthma. Budesonide (BUD) is definitely a glucocorticoid with high local anti-inflammatory effect [23-32]. BUD can enhance the stability of endothelial cells, clean muscle mass cells and lysosome membranes, inhibit immune system response and decrease antibody synthesis, hence reducing the experience and release of allergic active mediators such as for example histamine. BUD can relieve the enzymatic procedure activated by antigen-antibody binding also, and inhibit the formation of bronchial contractile PCDH8 chemicals release a and relieve contractile response of even muscle [33-35]. BUD continues to be clinically found in sufferers Carnosic Acid with glucocorticoid-dependent or non-dependent bronchial chronic and asthma asthmatic bronchitis [36-40]. The chemical substance structures of BUD and Catalpol are shown in Figure 1. Open in another window Amount 1 Chemical buildings of (A) Catalpol and (B) BUD. In this scholarly study, an asthmatic model was set up using SD rats, a coordinated aftereffect of Catalpol and BUD on asthmatic rats was looked into by cell classification and keeping track of in bronchoalveolar lavage liquid (BALF) and serum ovalbumin (OVA). Interleukin 13 (IL-13) and Eotaxin are essential elements in the pathogenesis of asthma. The appearance of IL-13 and Eotaxin in the lungs of asthmatic rats as well as the adjustments of eosinophils in BALF Carnosic Acid had been noticed. The molecular system of Catalpol coupled with BUD in inhibiting airway allergic irritation in bronchial asthma was probed and talked about. The present research demonstrates which the therapeutic ramifications of Catalpol on asthma could be considerably improved by coordination with BUD within a rat model of OVA-induced asthma. Materials and methods Experimental animals Thirty SPF grade male SD rats (age: 5-6 weeks, excess weight: 170-200 g) were purchased from Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co. Ltd. (Beijing, China). The rats were divided into five groups-the positive control group, the model group, the Catalpol group, the BUD group, and the Catalpol+BUD group with 6 rats in each group. Temperature and moisture were 25 1C and 55%-60%, respectively. Illumination time and dark time were both 12 h. There were no restrictions on drinking water and feeding. The care and attention and treatment of the animals were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committees of Heilongjiang University or college of Chinese Medicine. Chemicals and reagents OVA was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA), Catalpol injectable powder was purchased from Melone Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (Dalian, China), BUD was manufactured by CR double-crane Pharmaceutical Co Ltd (Beijing, China), aluminium hydroxide (99.9%) was purchased from Sinopharm (Shanghai, China), and the corresponding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) packages were purchased from USCN and Boster (Wuhan, China). All other chemicals or reagents were purchased from Sinopharm (Beijing, China).

Bird with white Belly and black back
Phoebe Flycatcher / June 17, 2017
Swans, Ducks, Geese- Family Anatidae
Trumpeter Swan female on a nest
-Wikipedia-
Trumpeter Swan Cygnus buccinator
The majestic Trumpeter Swan is the largest of our native waterfowl and one of the heaviest flying birds in the world, with males sometimes exceeding 30 pounds.
Historically hunted to the brink of extinction, it was recognized as an endangered species long before there was an Endangered Species Act, and its recovery is a conservation success story.
The adult's snow-white plumage with contrasting black bill and feet and 8-foot wingspan define this magnificent bird. Their neck is as long as their body and is used to reach food at the marsh bottom.
In spring, the Trumpeter Swan is a locally uncommon breeder east of the Cascades, most notably at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. West of the Cascades, wintering birds are most consistently noted in west Polk Count and Sauvie Island, also along the northern coast, lower Columbia River, Forest Grove, and Trojan Nuclear Power Plant.
-Photo by Kathy Munsel, ODFW-
Of several swans found in Oregon, the Tundra Swan is by far the most common during the nonbreeding season. It is most readily distinguished from the similar-appearing Trumpeter Swan by voice, although subtle differences in physical appearance and behavior can separate the two with difficulty.
It is a fairly common transient throughout the state but most abundant at large bodies of water and wetland complexes east of the Cascades including the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and the surrounding Harney Basin, Summer Lake Wildlife Area and the Klamath Basin.

The drake Wood Duck is the most colorful of North American ducks. The brown hen has similar features including a crest, distinctive white eye-ring, white belly and purplish-blue iridescence on wing coverts and speculum. Both sexes have a prominent tail that can be a field mark in flight.
As their name implies, they are associated with timbered wetlands, nesting in cavities and sometimes even feeding in trees. Hens utter a fairly wide range of un-duck like sounds, but most common is a loud wee-e-e-e-k, wee-e-e-e-k.

2015's Mipcom Reinforces TV Content, Regardless of Originator
Cannes, France was subjected to flash flooding earlier this week, but the inclement weather was not enough to prevent Mipcom from occurring Oct. 5 – 8 at the Palais des Festivals.
A record 13,700 delegates and 4,800 buyers attended the annual Gallic conference centered around the television and entertainment industry, where current trends and technologies were a focal point.
Among the insights? Dramatic TV is highly-sought after.
“The demand for premium drama was reflected by the packed World Premiere TV Screenings and the major series that were brought to Mipcom,” Laurine Garaude, Reed Midem’s TV Division Director, told Variety.
The new “X-Files” was revealed at the event, and the audience went wild.
The new #xfiles are a blast from the past. Mulder and Scully didn't lose their chemistry after all the years. Exited to see more. #MIPCOM
— Sebastian Miska (@SebastianMiska) October 6, 2015
“Today the market can absorb the volume of drama being produced because there is a such a wide range of platforms – streaming services, pay TV channels, OTT and DTT channels — that have big acquisition needs and have created a lucrative niche market for local series, said Pascal Breton, the boss of Paris-based Federation Entertainment.
Additionally, some believe that the screen no longer matters. The only thing that counts is strong content.
“It’s irrelevant talking about first versus second screens,” said Ali May, a presenter at Mayhart. “It’s just a matter of consuming content wherever and however you want. It’s fascinating for us, producing content, to talk to people like Spotify and see what we can bring to the table. How can we collaborate and create amazing next-generation content that chimes with audiences that don’t have a commitment to any type of consumption?”
Adam Crozier, CEO of ITV, had similar thoughts.
“As long as TV companies invest heavily in great, new original content, they will be successful. The way people consume that may change over time, but that desire for great content will never go away,” said Crozier.
For video of the various discussions and panels at Mipcom 2015, see below. If you’re interested in our coverage of 2014’s event, click here.

Borrow. Save. Share. is dedicated to supporting the free and open sharing of locally grown seed in British Columbia.
Each seed contains the story of a long and evolving relationship between plants, places and cultures.
Locally adapted, regionally appropriate seeds are stewarded in place. By growing and sharing seed in the public domain, we can create a resilient and diverse community seed collection that is ideally suited to our local growing practices and conditions.
Borrow. Save. Share. supports community seed saving by:
providing resources to help start community seed libraries
celebrating local seed heroes and telling the story of local seed
highlighting community seed saving initatives
This project came into being on Canada’s Pacific Coast, on the unceded Coast Salish Territories of the Lekwungen and W_SÁNEC peoples. We endeavour to honour the land and its treaties by strengthening our relationship and responsibilities to them. Many of our practices, including the seeds we plant, the ways we educate and our methods of growing food came to these lands through the ongoing process of dispossession and colonialism. We hold this understanding in our interactions and engagements with this land and its people.
HISTORY OF SITE
This website was created by LifeCycles as a way to support and inspire community seed sharing in BC.
Our work with seed began in the Fall of 2013. Partnering with the Greater Victoria Public Library (GVPL) we hosted a “Seed Cafe.” This event invited local seed producers, hobby gardeners and other seedy folks to gather at the library for a conversation about community seed saving on Southern Vancouver Island. We had a rich and inspiring conversation with over 40 people and realized the time was ripe for starting a local seed library.
In February of 2014, the Victoria Seed Library was born!
LifeCycles seed work is generously supported by many people. It would not have been possible without the vision and support of: Sarah Isbister, Jennifer Rowan, Jesse Howardson and Matthew Kemshaw. We have been blessed with much community support – without dozens of community volunteers and advisors our initiative would not have born fruit. A special thanks to Rebecca Jehn, Lisa Willott, Rupert Adams and Dan Jason who offered advice, encouragement and seed in our early explorations.
The Greater Victoria Public Library had the courage and vision to launch the Victoria Seed Library in 2014. Without their commitment, our seed work would never have sprouted.
We would also like to acknowledge The Bauta Family Initiative for Canadian Seed Security and Seeds of Diversity Canada who have shared their knowledge and resources so generously.

On January 12, 2021 local time, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Myanmar's Commander-in-Chief of Defense Services Min Aung Hlaing in Nay Pyi Taw.
Wang Yi said, China appreciates that the Myanmar military takes national revitalization as its mission, thinks about the future development of its country from a long-term perspective, makes commitment to the traditional friendship between China and Myanmar and promotes the "Paukphaw" (fraternal) friendship between the two countries. China and Myanmar have reached significant political consensus on building the China-Myanmar community with a shared future during President Xi Jinping's historic state visit to Myanmar last year. The main purpose of Wang Yi's trip to Myanmar on invitation is to communicate in depth with Myanmar on how to implement the results of President Xi Jinping's state visit to Myanmar and exchange views on developing bilateral ties in the next stage. Building a China-Myanmar community with a shared future firstly shows the firm mutual support of the two sides as "Paukphaw" brothers. China will continue to back Myanmar in safeguarding its sovereignty, national dignity and legitimate rights and interests, supporting the country in pursuing a development path suited to its own national conditions and the Myanmar military in playing a due role in and making positive contributions to the process of the country's transformation and development. He believes that Myanmar will continue to give China staunch support on issues involving China's core interests and the two countries will be bound to continuously deepen their "Paukphaw" friendship.
Wang Yi said, China and Myanmar have agreed in principle on implementing the action plan for building the China-Myanmar community with a shared future, hoping the Myanmar military can make new contributions to the common goal of the two countries. To help Myanmar defeat the pandemic, China has decided to provide the country with assistance of vaccines and medical supplies and actively encouraged Chinese enterprises to carry out further vaccine cooperation with Myanmar. As a signature project of building the China-Myanmar community with a shared future, China hopes the construction of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC) will unfold on a full scale after the new government is formed to help Myanmar's development and revitalization, and also believes that the Myanmar military will provide further support in this regard.
Min Aung Hlaing said, Myanmar is very pleased to witness China's rising international status and influence, and will remain dedicated to deepening the Myanmar-China friendship and enhancing its all-round cooperation with China, and continuously support China's stance on issues related to Taiwan, Hong Kong and Xinjiang. He thanked China for helping Myanmar combat the pandemic. The Myanmar military supports the two countries in accelerating the construction of the CMEC despite the pandemic disruptions, and is willing to communicate with China on maintaining national stability, promoting economic development and strengthening social unity. China is a good friend of Myanmar forever, and Myanmar-China friendly cooperation will certainly go increasingly deeper, in which the Myanmar military stands ready to continuously play an active role.

Trust and Nuanced Profile Similarity in Online Social Networks. (2009)

In many computing systems, information is produced and processed by many people. Knowing how much a user trusts a source can be very useful for aggregating, filtering, and ordering of information. Furthermore, if trust is used to support decision making, it is important to have an accurate estimate of trust when it is not directly available, as well as a measure of confidence in that estimate. This paper describes a new approach that gives an explicit probabilistic interpretation for confidence in social networks. We describe SUNNY, a new trust inference algorithm that uses a probabilistic sampling technique to estimate our confidence in the trust information from some designated sources. SUNNY computes an estimate of trust based on only those information sources with high confidence estimates. In our experiments, SUNNY produced more accurate trust estimates than the well known trust inference algorithm TIDALTRUST (Golbeck 2005), demonstrating its effectiveness.

Traditionally, research about trust assumes a single type of trust between users. However, trust, as a social concept, inherently has many facets indicating multiple and heterogeneous trust relationships between users. Due to the presence of a large trust network for an online user, it is necessary to discern multi-faceted trust as there are naturally experts of different types. Our study in product review sites reveals that people place trust differently to different people. Since the widely used adjacency matrix cannot capture multi-faceted trust relationships between users, we propose a novel approach by incorporating these relationships into traditional rating prediction algorithms to reliably estimate their strengths. Our work results in interesting findings such as heterogeneous pairs of reciprocal links. Experimental results on real-world data from Epinions and Ciao show that our work of discerning multi-faceted trust can be applied to improve the performance of tasks such as rating prediction, facet-sensitive ranking, and status theory.

Abstract—Social network-based Sybil defenses exploit the algorithmic properties of social graphs to infer the extent to which an arbitrary node in such a graph should be trusted. However, these systems do not consider the different amounts of trust represented by different graphs, and different levels of trust between nodes, though trust is being a crucial requirement in these systems. For instance, co-authors in an academic collaboration graph are trusted in a different manner than social friends. Furthermore, some social friends are more trusted than others. However, previous designs for social network-based Sybil defenses have not considered the inherent trust properties of the graphs they use. In this paper we introduce several designs to tune the performance of Sybil defenses by accounting for differential trust in social graphs and modeling these trust values by biasing random walks performed on these graphs. Surprisingly, we find that the cost function, the required length of random walks to accept all honest nodes with overwhelming probability, is much greater in graphs with high trust values, such as co-author graphs, than in graphs with low trust values such as online social networks. We show that this behavior is due to the community structure in high-trust graphs, requiring longer walk to traverse multiple communities. Furthermore, we show that our proposed designs to account for trust, while increase the cost function of graphs with low trust value, decrease the advantage of attacker. I.

Social trust relationships between users in social networks speak to the similarity in opinions between the users, both in general and in important nuanced ways. They have been used in the past to make recommendations on the web. New trust metrics allow us to easily cluster users based on trust. In this paper, we investigate the use of trust clusters as a new way of improving recommendations. Previous work on the use of clusters has shown the technique to be relatively unsuccessful, but those clusters were based on similarity rather than trust. Our results show that when trust clusters are integrated into memory-based collaborative filtering algorithms, they lead to statistically significant improvements in accuracy. In this paper we discuss our methods, experiments, results, and potential future applications of the technique.

Most existing research about online trust assumes static trust relations between users. As we are informed by social sciences, trust evolves as humans interact. Little work exists studying trust evolution in an online world. Researching online trust evolution faces unique challenges because more often than not, available data is from passive observation. In this paper, we leverage social science theories to develop a methodology that enables the study of online trust evolution. In particular, we propose a framework of evolution trust, eTrust, which exploits the dynamics of user preferences in the context of online product review. We present technical details about modeling trust evolution, and perform experiments to show how the exploitation of trust evolution can help improve the performance of online applications such as rating and trust prediction.

In this article, we describe a new approach that gives an explicit probabilistic interpretation for social networks. In particular, we focus on the observation that many existing Web-based trustinference algorithms conflate the notions of “trust ” and “confidence, ” and treat the amalgamation of the two concepts to compute the trust value associated with a social relationship. Unfortunately, the result of such an algorithm that merges trust and confidence is not a trust value, but rather a new variable in the inference process. Thus, it is hard to evaluate the outputs of such an algorithm in the context of trust inference. This article first describes a formal probabilistic network model for social networks that allows us to address that issue. Then we describe SUNNY, a new trust inference algorithm that uses probabilistic sampling to separately estimate trust information and our confidence in the trust estimate and use the two values in order to compute an estimate of trust based on only those information sources with the highest confidence estimates. We present an experimental evaluation of SUNNY. In our experiments, SUNNY produced more accurate trust estimates than the well-known trust inference algorithm TIDALTRUST, demonstrating its effectiveness. Finally, we discuss the implications these results will have on systems designed for personalizing content and making recommendations. 8

Abstract—Mixed service-oriented systems composed of human actors and software services build up complex interaction networks. Without any coordination, such system may exhibit undesirable properties due to unexpected behavior. Also, communications and interactions in such networks are not preplanned by top-down composition models. Consequently, the management of service-oriented applications is difficult due to changing interaction and behavior patterns that possibly contradict and result in faults from varying conditions and misbehavior in the network. In this paper we present a self-adaptation approach that regulates local interactions to maintain desired system functionality. To prevent degraded or stalled systems, adaptations operate by link modification or substitution of actors based on similarity and trust metrics. Unlike a security perspective on trust, we focus on the notion of socially inspired trust. We design an architecture based on two separate independent frameworks. One providing a real Web service testbed extensible for dynamic adaptation actions. The other is our self-adaptation framework including all modules required by systems with self- * properties. In our experiments we study a trust and similarity based adaptation approach by simulating dynamic interactions in the real Web services testbed.

Abstract-Most of existing online social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, are designed to bias towards information disclosure to a large audience. Google recently launched a new social network platform, Google+. By introducing the notion of 'circles', Google+ enables users to selectively share data with specific groups within their personal network, rather than sharing with all of their social connections at once. Although Google+ can help mitigate the gap between the individuals' expectations and their actual privacy settings, it still only allows a single user to restrict access to herlhis data but cannot provide any mechanism to enforce privacy concerns over data associated with multiple users. In this paper, we propose an approach to facilitate collaborative privacy management of shared data in Google+. We extend and formulate a multiparty access control model, named MPAC+, to capture the essence of collaborative authorization requirements in Google+, along with a multiparty policy specification scheme and a policy enforcement mechanism. We also discuss a proof-of-concept prototype of our approach and describe system evaluation and usability study of our prototype. I.

Bots are, for many Web and social media users, the source of many dangerous attacks or the carrier of unwanted messages, such as spam. Nevertheless, crawlers and software agents are a precious tool for analysts, and they are continuously exe-cuted to collect data or to test distributed applications. How-ever, no one knows which is the real potential of a bot whose purpose is to control a community, to manipulate consensus, or to influence user behavior. It is commonly believed that the better an agent simulates human behavior in a social net-work, the more it can succeed to generate an impact in that community. We contribute to shed light on this issue through an online social experiment aimed to study to what extent a bot with no trust, no profile, and no aims to reproduce human behavior, can become popular and influential in a social me-dia. Results show that a basic social probing activity can be used to acquire social relevance on the network and that the so-acquired popularity can be effectively leveraged to drive users in their social connectivity choices. We also register that our bot activity unveiled hidden social polarization patterns in the community and triggered an emotional response of indi-viduals that brings to light subtle privacy hazards perceived by the user base. 1

French Colony India, Anglo-French Rivalry - Three Carnatic Wars
History Notes-3
French Colony Establishments In India
① Francois Caron established the first French factory in India at Surat in 1667.
② The biggest settlement of French in India was Pondicherry, which was established by Francois Martin in 1674.
③ The title of Nawab was conferred to French Governor Dumas in 1740 by Chanda Sahib because he safeguarded him from Maratha attack.
④ Joseph Francis Dupleix was the greatest French Governor in India.
⑤ The victorious French Army was led by Captain Paradise in the battle of Saint Thome.
⑥ The battle of Saint Thome is vividly described in a book titled as "Private Diary" written by Anand Ranga Pillai.
⑦ The French Governor Dupleix was succeeded by Godeheu.
⑧ French commander Bussy was taken as a prisoner in the battle of Wandiwash. The battle of Wandiwash sealed the fate of the French fortunes in India.
Anglo-French War
① The war between East India Company and French Company continued for 20 years. The rivalry began with the outbreak of Austrian war of success.
② In India Carnatic was the venue of struggle.
③ The First Carnatic War broke out in 1746-1748.
⑴ In 1946, the English Navy(led by Bennet) captured few French ships.
⑵ In response to that, the French Governor, Dupleix, invaded Madras colony.
⑶ Battle of St. Thome (on the banks of river Adiyar) was fought between the two companies. The French emerged as winners.
⑷ The treaty of AIX-LA Chapelle (1948) put an end to the Austrian was as well as concluded the first Carnatic war.
⑸ Madras was handed back to the English.
④ The Second Carnatic War took place from 1749 to 1754.
⑴ Dupleix supported Muzaffar Jung (Subedar of Deccan) and Chanda Sahib (Nawab of Carnatic) while Robert Clive (British) decided to support the rival party i.e. Nasir Jung for the succession of Hyderabad.
⑵ Muzaffar Jung andChanda Sahib with the help of the French emerged winners. The position of Dupleix was very strong at that time.
⑶ In 1751, Rober Clive captured Arcot (capital of Carnatic). Later the British army also captured Trichonopoly. This led to the 2nd war of Carnatic.
⑷ Treaty of Pondicherry was signed in 1755 which ended the conflict.
⑸ Though the French were able to retain Hyderabad but their position in Deccan got weakened.
⑹ Dupleix was replaced by Godheu.
⑤ The Third Carnatic War (1758-63)
⑴ In 1756, the seven years war in Europe led this third conflict in the India subcontinent.
⑵ In the war of Wandiwash (1760), the French were defeated. In this battle, the English army was led by Eir Eyre Coote. The British captured Pondicherry.
⑶ The Paris Treaty (1763) put an end to this conflict. Pondicherry and other settlements French were returned.
⑷ It led to the end of French power in India.

Britain’s PM Boris Johnson left the hospital on Sunday and thanked workers for saving his life from COVID-19, however his authorities were pressured to defend its response to the coronavirus outbreak because the nationwide dying toll handed 10,000.
The somber milestone got here after Britain reported two days in a row of hospital deaths rising by greater than 900. Friday’s death toll of 980 surpassed the best each day completely recorded in Italy, the toughest-hit nation in Europe to date.
Reflecting on the depth of the emergency, Queen Elizabeth issued the primary Easter message in her 68-yr reign. “Coronavirus is not going to overcome us,” the 93-yr-outdated monarch mentioned in her second tackle to the nation every week.
Johnson, 55, was taken to St Thomas’ Hospital in London on April 5. He was moved into intensive care the next day and remained there till April 9.
He named and thanked nurses who had cared for him, with a particular point out for two of them, Jenny from New Zealand and Luis from Portugal, who he stated had stood by his bedside for 48 hours “when issues might have gone both methods”.
Johnson wore a go well with and tie and spoke in his ordinary upbeat method. In attribute trend, he made a joke, thanking the docs who had cared for him, “a number of of them for some purpose referred to like Nick.”
He will proceed with his restoration at Chequers, the official prime ministerial nation residence northwest of London, his workplace stated. Well, being minister Matt Hancock mentioned there was no recommendation on when he would return to work, and it might be a medical determination.

Kit Watkins — Azure
(East Side Digital esd 80242, 1989, CD)
Kit Watkins & Coco Roussel — In Time
(Linden Music LM 2016, 1985/1995, CD)
Kit Watkins — Sunstruck
Everyone should at least be aware of who Kit Watkins is. His first gig was keyboardist with the acclaimed Happy the Man, who released two outstanding albums in the late 70s, for which Kit penned more than his share of tunes. Next stop was Camel, playing on the I Can See Your House from Here album, and following that with a couple tours. In between tours with Camel he was busy cooking up some great solo albums for his own independent Azimuth label, as well as the third HTM album which never received a proper release in its day.
The last release on Azimuth was In Time, with former Happy the Man drummer Coco Roussel in 1985. A spirited and energetic collection of tunes penned by both, it packed both power and brilliance. Using mostly electronic keyboards and electronic and acoustic percussion with then-state-of-the-art MIDI equipment, it sounds as fresh today as it did a decade ago. "Smart" offers that same musical humor that made the early HtM material so special. "7/8 Segue" and "Rumble at the Ruins" both drive from the percussive angle, complex and compelling. "Over the Andes" and "Forte" combine melodics and refinement with the power of progressive rock. When ESD did the original CD reissue around '87, three bonus tracks were added, and remain here on this latest edition, including "Bob's Tune," a lively fantasia with animated rhythm.
After a seemingly long hiatus, Kit returned in '89 with Azure, a mostly low-key effort with impressionistic tendencies, but herein lies its power and beauty — I recall not caring for the album at all on first listen, and then having it grow on me slowly, first one tune, then another, revealing itself slowly, reaching into my soul. Today I feel it may be one of his finest efforts. The haunting "Ursa Major" paints a colorful and angular melody over an ethereal dreamscape of intense depth. Two cover tunes, "I Remember Me" (Jan Hammer) and "Nairam" (Philippe Catherine), both add a whole new sense of direction to the originals. "Innocent Adventure" is complex yet gentle, as waves of tonal color ebb and flow over completely unpredictable rhythms.
Sunstruck was the 1990 follow-up to Azure, and is a mixed bag overall, some lively, some low key, and four lengthy tunes in the ten-plus minute range. There are some brilliant moments here, including the mildly menacing "Heavy Water," and "Moon Watching Me" — a gentle melodic piece that may remind of Pat Metheny's First Circle period. "Mirage" and "Canopy" offer a heaping helping of the type of impressionism that worked so well on Azure. But a few of the tunes here seem a bit overprogrammed and poppy/new-agey, without the benefit of life or emotion — among these the album opener "Solar Gain" and its follow-on "Capricious Skies." Overall a good, albeit slightly uneven album, the best material more than making up for the few duff tracks. Musically these are identical to the previous ESD releases (no remix or remaster). The new booklet for Azure no longer contains the technical and background information on each track, but all have been dressed up with new improved artwork, and given a new lease on life.

Idler 061 [No. 61: Minim the critic]
Idler No. 61. Saturday, June 15, 1759.
Mr. Minim had now advanced himself to the zenith of critical reputation; when he was in the pit, every eye in the boxes was fixed upon him; when he entered his coffee-house, he was surrounded by circles of candidates, who passed their noviciate of literature under his tuition: his opinion was asked by all who had no opinion of their own, and yet loved to debate and decide; and no composition was supposed to pass in safety to posterity, till it had been secured by Minim’s approbation.
Minim professes great admiration of the wisdom and munificence by which the academies of the continent were raised; and often wishes for some standard of taste, for some tribunal, to which merit may appeal from caprice, prejudice and malignity. He has formed a plan for an academy of criticism, where every work of imagination may be read before it is printed, and which shall authoritatively direct the theatres what pieces to receive or reject, to exclude or to revive.
Such an institution would, in Dick’s opinion, spread the fame of English literature over Europe, and make London the metropolis of elegance and politeness, the place to which the learned and ingenious of all countries would repair for instruction and improvement, and where nothing would any longer be applauded or endured that was not conformed to the nicest rules, and finished with the highest elegance.
Till some happy conjunction of the planets shall dispose our princes or ministers to make themselves immortal by such an academy, Minim contents himself to preside four nights in a week in a critical society selected by himself, where he is heard without contradiction, and whence his judgment is disseminated through the great vulgar and the small.
When he is placed in the chair of criticism, he declares loudly for the noble simplicity of our ancestors, in opposition to the petty refinements, and ornamental luxuriance. Sometimes he is sunk in despair, and perceives false delicacy daily gaining ground, and sometimes brightens his countenance with a gleam of hope, and predicts the revival of the true sublime. He then fulminates his loudest censures against the monkish barbarity of rhyme; wonders how beings that pretend to reason can be pleased with one line always ending like another; tells how unjustly and unnaturally sense is sacrificed to sound; how often the best thoughts are mangled by the necessity of confining or extending them to the dimensions of a couplet; and rejoices that genius has, in our days, shaken off the shackles which had encumbered it so long. Yet he allows that rhyme may sometimes be borne, if the lines be often broken, and the pauses judiciously diversified.
From blank verse he makes an easy transition to Milton, whom he produces as an example of the slow advance of lasting reputation. Milton is the only writer in whose books Minim can read for ever without weariness. What cause it is that exempts this pleasure from satiety he has long and diligently inquired, and believes it to consist in the perpetual variation of the numbers, by which the ear is gratified and the attention awakened. The lines that are commonly thought rugged and unmusical, he conceives to have been written to temper the melodious luxury of the rest, or to express things by a proper cadence: for he scarcely finds a verse that has not this favourite beauty; he declares that he could shiver in a hot-house when he reads that
Burns frore, and cold performs th’ effect of fire;”
and that, when Milton bewails his blindness, the verse,
“So thick a drop serene has quench’d these orbs,”
has, he knows not how, something that strikes him with an obscure sensation like that which he fancies would be felt from the sound of darkness.
Minim is not so confident of his rules of judgment as not very eagerly to catch new light from the name of the author. He is commonly so prudent as to spare those whom he cannot resist, unless, as will sometimes happen, he finds the publick combined against them. But a fresh pretender to fame he is strongly inclined to censure, till his own honour requires that he commend him. Till he knows the success of a composition, he intrenches himself in general terms; there are some new thoughts and beautiful passages, but there is likewise much which he would have advised the author to expunge. He has several favourite epithets, of which he has never settled the meaning, but which are very commodiously applied to books which he has not read, or cannot understand. One is manly, another is dry, another stiff, and another flimsy; sometimes he discovers delicacy of style, and sometimes meets with strange expressions.
He is never so great, or so happy, as when a youth of promising parts is brought to receive his directions for the prosecution of his studies. He then puts on a very serious air; he advises the pupil to read none but the best authors; and when he finds one congenial to his own mind, to study his beauties, but avoid his faults; and, when he sits down to write, to consider how his favourite author would think at the present time on the present occasion. He exhorts him to catch those moments when he finds his thoughts expanded and his genius exalted, but to take care lest imagination hurry him beyond the bounds of nature. He holds diligence the mother of success; yet enjoins him, with great earnestness, not to read more than he can digest, and not to confuse his mind by pursuing studies of contrary tendencies. He tells him, that every man has his genius, and that Cicero could never be a poet. The boy retires illuminated, resolves to follow his genius, and to think how Milton would have thought: and Minim feasts upon his own beneficence till another day brings another pupil.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan Nominated for Nobel Peace Award by AFRIPOL!
Tag: Africa Political and Economic Strategic Center, AFRIPOL, Nobel Peace Prize, President Goodluck Jonathan, President Jonathan
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by the Africa Political and Economic Strategic Center (AFRIPOL), a public policy organisation on African affairs according to several media reports.
AFRIPOL stated that the founder of the Nobel Prize, Alfred Nobel’s goal was to award the noble prize to deserving recipient and whomever “have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”
The organisation further stated that the ‘peaceful way President Jonathan conceded to President-elect Buhari deserves the attention of Nobel Peace Prize committee. He may have not promoted “fraternity between nations” but he surely promoted fraternal peace among Nigerians by conceding power.’
The group further stated that the ‘concession speech by President Jonathan averted bloodshed, violence and imbroglio in the most populous country in Africa. This gesture by Jonathan buttressed to the whole world that Nigeria has joined the comity of civilized nations.’
Do you agree that President Jonathan deserves the nomination?

ImmBio Initiates First-in-Human Studies of its Novel Pneumococcal Vaccine, PnuBioVax
The study will look at the safety and tolerability of PnuBioVax for three different dosages compared to placebo. Each dose will be given as a prime and two boosts in male and female adults, in a double blind procedure. Conducted by Simbec Research Ltd at its site in Glamorgan, Wales, the study expects to enrol 36 volunteers, with results anticipated in Q2 2016. The primary endpoints of the study are safety and tolerability, as well as selected immunological markers of response. As a measure of secondary outcomes, a range of immunological assays will investigate the likely impact of the vaccine on asymptomatic carriage of the pathogen, and generation of key antibodies, including PnuBioVax’s ability to neutralise pneumolysin, a toxin produced by S. pneumoniae.
S. pneumoniae commonly resides asymptomatically in the nasal passages of healthy people. However, in susceptible individuals, such as the elderly, young children and the immunocompromised, it can propagate to the blood and vital organs, leading to life threatening diseases1 including meningitis, sepsis, pneumonia, endocarditis and pericarditis. Despite the availability of antibiotics, the death rate associated with pneumococcal disease, once invasive infection has occurred, is around 14%, making early preventative treatment vital.
There are over 90 serotypes of S. pneumoniae in circulation, and individual antibodies against the bacteria provide serotype-specific protection, making vaccine development challenging. Currently
marketed vaccines are relatively expensive to produce and only target a limited number of serotypes each and, by their design, cannot cover emerging strains or serotype replacement2.
ImmBioVax uses a novel process, incorporating heat shock proteins3 (HSPs). These proteins are produced by cells in response to stress, for example, heat, and are known to activate both the adaptive and innate arms of the immune response. The PnuBioVax vaccine contains HSPs and multiple antigens produced by a modified form of S.pneumoniae, leading to a mechanism of action which is expected to be strain-independent. Consequently PnuBioVax has the potential of being protective across a broad range of current and emergent serotypes, in contrast to currently-available products. In addition, the manufacturing process has a high yield and low production costs, with the potential of being more readily affordable.
“Preclinical studies of PnuBioVax4 have found its immune response to be serotype-independent, and we expect this to be reflected in the upcoming clinical trial.” said Dr Chris Bailey, Development Director at ImmBio. He continued: “We will be investigating multiple immunological outcomes based on T-cell and functional antibody responses.”
Graham Clarke, CEO of ImmBio, commented: “ImmBio aspires to create a universal vaccine for the huge unmet need of pneumococcal disease. Whilst this has proved elusive to date, we are encouraged that the unique multi-protein design of PnuBioVax offers a viable way to achieve this. Progression of PnuBioVax into First-in-Human studies provides validation of our progress in preclinical studies and manufacturing, and takes us a step closer to a potentially more effective and affordable vaccine for this life threatening disease.”
ImmBio’s commercial strategy is to develop its vaccine candidates through to proof-of-concept in man, and to find partners to progress late stage development, manufacturing and marketing.

The demand for housing in the UK has reached its greatest level since 2004, according to leading market indicators - September housing report from NAEA Propertymark and new homes data from Knight Frank.
Commentators, such as the Property Reporter, suggest that continued evidence of pent up demand and heightened competitive market activity have contributed significantly to this rise. Buyers, both domestic and international, are actively pursuing opportunities to secure investments with new applicant volumes up 60 per cent in October 2020 compared to 2019, according to Knight Frank.
This was also reflected in NAEA PropertyMark’s report, which showed that the number of prospective buyers registered per estate agent branch increased by 33 per cent from 396 in August, to 525 in September - the highest number since June 2004 when it was 581. Moreover, the number of sales agreed per branch rose by 75 per cent year-on-year, surpassing the September 2019 figure of eight.
Almost a third of all new homes sales in London during the last three months were via Help to Buy, up from 15 per cent in the second quarter, according to Molior. Based on PropertyMark data, one-fifth of sales was to first-time buyers in September. Insights from investment firms facilitating international buyer activity in prime central London indicate that the anticipated 2 per cent surcharge due to take effect in April 2021, as well as an attractive sterling exchange rate, are driving sales. London Central Portfolio, for instance, reported that 22 per cent of purchases were completed with prime property remaining unseen.
As England enters its second lockdown the housing market remains open, marking a distinct shift from the first lockdown, and reflecting the primacy of the property market in the UK economy. Two prestigious London developments with high pedigree units due for completion are Greenview Court and Bronze, an exclusive development by Strawberry Star.
The exciting Greenview Court development is due to complete in by 2020 and features 111 apartments, landscaped with rooftop and courtyard gardens, on Merrick Road, Southall. The site is close to Southall Crossrail station, which is set to enable an 8-minute Crossrail journey to Heathrow airport and a 24-minute ride to the City of London. Set against a vibrant local community culture, the stylish new apartments are well-positioned to capitalise on London’s unique fundamentals.

Moby has been spending a lot of time creating an era of clam with his music over the past few months with a new collection of improvised off the cuff ambient cuts which he is releasing as a full album…
It was the worldwide pandemic that has been gripping countries all over the world which drew Moby into creating calm and comforting ambient music. Moby is a worldwide iconic name in the dance music industry and has a very experimental approach to some of his musical creations. For this latest project no preparation was required, it’s straight off the cuff and all the pieces in the new ambient edition have been fully improvised. Each chill out moment is as it was written at the time. We all need to relax now and then so why not do so to the improvised ambient beats of Moby. You can find the link to the album and a quick word from Moby about the album below.
A NOTE FROM MOBY
When the pandemic started (was that 20 years ago?) i found a lot of calm and comfort in making quiet ambient music for myself. Then i thought it might be an interesting project to document myself making these ambient pieces. I gave myself one rule; they all had to be improvised, with no rehearsing or writing of pieces beforehand. I’m releasing the album of these Live Ambient Improvised Recordings today, as i know that so many of us are isolated and struggling through the holidays.

*Safety Advice and Tips*
*We look forward to welcoming guests on or before October 15, 2020.
On September 23, 2020, Governor David Ige signed a new emergency proclamation that extends Hawaii’s COVID-19 emergency period to the end of October and officially authorizes a pre-arrival testing program that would ease travel restrictions for some travelers. The proclamation also extends the mandatory 14-day quarantine for travelers to Hawaii until October 31.
However, starting October 15, Governor Ige’s new order says that “travelers who, upon entry into the State, provide written confirmation from a State approved COVID-19 testing facility of a negative test result from a test administered to the traveler within 72 hours from the final leg of departure, will be exempt from the mandatory quarantine.” The Interisland quarantine for travelers arriving in the Counties of Kauai, Hawaii, Maui and Kalawao (Kalaupapa) remains in place; however, Ige’s proclamation allows Counties to adopt a negative test exception process allowing travelers to bypass the Interisland quarantine.*
On Kauai, the Garden Island, is the centrally located, southwest, "upcountry town of Kalaheo". Just minutes to Poipu Beach, Hanapepe, Koloa, Port Allen, Waimea and four of Kauai's famous State Parks of Polihale,Waimea Canyon, Koke'e and the Napali Coast.

Chapter 24 "The Interworld And The New Innocence"
On the fringes of uneasy subjectivity the canker of power eats away. There thrives undying hate, the demons of revenge, the tyranny of envy, the rancour of frustrated desire. It may be a marginal infection, but it threatens every side; an interworld.
The interworld is the no-man's land of subjectivity. Its borders tremble with the fundamental cruelty of cop and rebel, oppression and the poetry of revolt. Halfway between its recuperation by the spectacle and its revolutionary use, the dreamer's extra-space-time spawns monstrous creations after the image of his own desires and that of power. The increasing poverty of daily life has turned into a sort of public amenity suitable for every kind of investigation, an open battlefield between creative spontaneity and what corrupts it. As a faithful explorer of the mind, Artaud sums up perfectly this evenly-matched struggle: "My unconscious is only mine in dreams, but are the forms I see there going to come to birth or are they some foul abortion I've spewed up? The subconscious is shaped by the premises of my interior will, but I'm not really sure who reigns there; I don't believe it's me, but rather a flood of conflicting desires which, I don't know why, think in me and do nothing but struggle endlessly for total possession over me. But I re-encounter every one of these perverse desires, whose temptations treat me with such temerity, in the preconscious - only this time all my conscious wits are about me, and although the perverse desires break in waves over me, the important thing is that I feel myself there... I feel therefore that if I travelled upstream, I ought to emerge in my preconscious at the point where I could see myself evolve and desire." Further on, Artaud says: "Peyote led me there."
The adventures of the hermit of Rodez sound off a warning. His break with the Surrealist movement is a turning point. He charged them with getting caught up in Bolshevism; with serving a revolution - which be it mentioned in passing, drags Kronstadt's corpses along with it - instead of making the revolution serve them. Artaud was absolutely right to blame the helplessness of the movement on its failure to base its revolutionary coherence on its richest truth - subjectivity before everything. But no sooner had he broken with Surrealism than he veered off into solipsistic madness and magic. He was no longer interested in realising his subjective desire by transforming the world. Instead of externalising what lies inside, he did the opposite, and made it holy, finding in the solid world of analogies the eternal primal myth, to which revelation only the roads of impotence lead. Those who are reluctant to cast out the flames that devour them are just asking to get burnt, consumed, according to the laws of the consumable, in the Nessus' shirt of ideology - be it of drugs, art, psychoanalysis, theosophy or revolution, it never ever changes history.
The bloody dawn of riots doesn't dissolve the monstrous creatures of the night. It clothes them in light and fire, and scatters them through towns and across the countryside. The new innocence is baleful dreams come true. Subjectivity only constructs itself by destroying what hampers it, and the violence necessary to this end is drawn from the interworld. The new innocence is the lucid construction of annihilation.
The most peaceful of men are full of bloody dreams. We know the price of treating solicitously those whom we can't strike down now, using kindness when we can't use force. I owe a great weight of hatred to those who've failed to break me. How can we liquidate hate without liquidating its causes? In the barbarity of riots, the arson, the popular savagery, the excesses that terrify bourgeois historians, we find exactly the right vaccine against the cold atrocity of the forces of order and hierarchical oppression.
In the new innocence, the interworld suddenly erupts and submerges oppressive structures. The game of nothing-but violence is engulfed by the everything-and violence of the revolutionary game.
The shock of freedom works miracles. Nothing can resist it, neither mental illness, remorse, guilt, the feeling of powerlessness, nor the brutalisation created by the environment of power. When a waterpipe burst in Pavlov's laboratory, not one of the dogs that survived the flood retained the slightest trace of his long conditioning. Could the tidal wave of great social upheavals have less effect on men than a burst waterpipe on dogs?, Reich recommends explosions of anger for emotionally blocked and muscularly armoured neurotics. This type of neurosis seems particularly prevalent today: it's survival sickness. The most coherent explosion of anger has a great chance of being a general uprising.
Three thousand years of living in the shadows can't withstand ten days of revolutionary violence. The reconstruction of society will simultaneously reconstruct everyone's unconscious.
The revolution of everyday life will blot out ideas of justice, punishment and torture, which are notions dependent on exchange and fragmentation. We don't want to be judges, but, by destroying slavery, masters without slaves recovering a new innocence and gracefulness in living. We have to destroy the enemy, not judge him. Whenever Durruti's column freed a village, they would assemble the peasants, ask which were the Fascists and shoot them on the spot. The next revolution will do the same. With perfect composure. We know there'll be no-one to judge us, nor will there ever be judges again, because we will have gobbled them up.
The new innocence entails destroying an order of things that has always tried to pin down the art of living and which today is threatening what remains of authentically lived experience. I don't need reasons to defend my freedom.
But at every moment power is legally defending me, (as I am legally defending myself against it!) In this brief exchange between the anarchist Duval and the policeman sent to arrest him, the new innocence can recognise its spontaneous jurisprudence:"Duval, I arrest you in the name of the law.""And I suppress you in the name of freedom."
Things don't bleed. Those heavy with the dead weight of things will die the death of things. Victor Serge recounts that during the sack of Razoumovskoe the revolutionaries smashed some porcelain; and when they were criticised for having done so, they replied: "We'll smash all the porcelain in the world to transform life. You love things too much and people too little... You love men too much the way you love things, and man you don't love enough." What we don't need to destroy is worth saving: that's the most succinct version of our future penal code.

60 Minutes: CRISPR: The gene-editing tool revolutionizing biomedical research
On 04, May 2018 | No Comments | In Blog | By admin
A new tool could be the key to treating genetic diseases and may be the most consequential discovery in biomedicine this century.
It’s challenging to tell a story about something that’s invisible to the naked eye and tricky to explain. But it’s one we undertook, because rarely does a discovery come along that could revolutionize medicine. It’s called CRISPR and it stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats. CRISPR sounds more like a refrigerator compartment than a gene-editing tool, but it’s giving scientists power they could only imagine before – to easily edit DNA – allowing them to reprogram the genetic code of living things. That’s opening up the possibility of curing genetic diseases. Some researchers are even using it to try to prevent disease entirely by correcting defective genes in human embryos. We wanted to see for ourselves, so we went to meet a scientist at the center of the CRISPR craze.
“There are about 6,000 or more diseases that are caused by faulty genes. The hope is that we will be able to address most if not all of them.”
Bill Whitaker: This is CRISPR?
Feng Zhang: This has CRISPR in it.
Bill Whitaker: So– this is what’s revolutionizing science and biomedicine?
Feng Zhang: This is what many people are using– in research — and trying to develop treatments.
Bill Whitaker: That’s wild.
Feng Zhang: Yeah.
That little vial is igniting a big revolution that is likely to change the way doctors treat disease in the future. One of the brains behind it, is baby-faced Feng Zhang.
Feng Zhang speaks with correspondent Bill Whitaker
At 36, he’s already a tenured professor at MIT and a scientific celebrity because he figured out a way to override human genetic instructions using CRISPR.
Bill Whitaker: So, the CRISPR is not the liquid, the CRISPR is in the–
Feng Zhang: It’s dissolved in the liquid. There are probably billions of molecules of CRISPR…
Bill Whitaker: Billions?
BOTH: In here.
Feng Zhang: That’s right. And the way we use it is we take the liquid and apply it to cells.
For the last seven years, Zhang has been working on CRISPR at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It’s a research mecca brimming with some of the brightest scientific minds from Harvard and MIT on a mission to fight disease. CRISPR is making medical research faster, cheaper, easier. Zhang’s colleagues predict it will help them tackle diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s.
Bill Whitaker: How many diseases are we talking about that this could be used to treat?
Feng Zhang: There are about 6,000 or more diseases that are caused by faulty genes. The hope is that we will be able to address most if not all of them.
Bill Whitaker: Most if not all of them?
Feng Zhang: That’s the long-term hope.
Bill Whitaker: So we’re talking diseases like Huntington’s—
Feng Zhang: Uh-huh.
Bill Whitaker: Sickle Cell.
Feng Zhang: Yup. ALS—hemophilia.
Eric Lander: I think CRISPR, it’s fair to say, is perhaps the most surprising discovery and maybe most consequential discovery in this century so far.
Eric Lander, director of the Broad Institute, speaks with correspondent Bill Whitaker
To understand exactly what CRISPR is, we went to Eric Lander for a quick science lesson. He’s director of the Broad and Zhang’s mentor. He’s best known for being a leader of the Human Genome Project that mapped out all of our DNA, which is like a recurring sequence of letters.
Eric Lander: During the Human Genome Project, we could read out all the human DNA, and then, in the years afterwards, find the misspellings that caused human diseases. But we had no way to think about how to fix ’em. And then, pretty much on schedule, this mind-blowing discovery that bacteria have a way to fix those misspellings, appears.
Bill Whitaker: This comes from bacteria?
Eric Lander: This comes from bacteria. Bacteria, you know, they have a problem. And they came up with a real clever solution. When they get infected by viruses, they keep a little bit of DNA, and they use it as a reminder. And they have this system called CRISPR that grabs those reminders and searches around and says, “If I ever see that again, I am gonna cut it.”
Zhang used that same bacterial system to edit DNA in human cells. Our DNA is made up of chemical bases abbreviated by the letters A, T, C, and G. As you can see in this animation from Zhang’s lab at MIT, a mutation that causes disease reads like a typo in those genetic instructions. If scientists can identify the typo, they can program CRISPR to find it and try to correct it.
Bill Whitaker: You program it? You say–
Feng Zhang: That’s right.
Bill Whitaker: “I’m looking for this string of letters.”
Bill Whitaker: And the CRISPR will go in, and out of all of the billions and billions and billions of– of letters on your DNA, find the exact ones that you have programmed?
Feng Zhang: That’s right. CRISPR will allow you to– do many different things. You can cut it– to edit it.
Bill Whitaker: So you can snip out the bad part and you can add something that you want as well?
Feng Zhang: That’s right. You can give the cell a new piece of DNA that carries the sequence you want to incorporate into the genome.
Bill Whitaker: You say this so matter of factly. This is amazing.
Feng Zhang: It is pretty cool.
Bill Whitaker: How many other labs around the world are working with CRISPR like this?
Feng Zhang: Many. One of the things that we have been doing is to make the tool available to researchers. To date I think we have gotten it out over– 45,000 times, to 2,200 labs, in 61 countries.
Bill Whitaker: What are they doing with it?
Feng Zhang: They are using it to do everything. A lot of applications of CRISPR. It’s really a Swiss army knife.
Cue the worldwide CRISPR frenzy. At the University of California, scientists used a form of CRISPR to edit mosquitos so they can’t transmit malaria. Their colleagues are modifying rice to better withstand floods and drought. In China, scientists tweaked a gene in beagles to make them more muscular.
A CRISPR vial from Zhang’s lab made its way to Dr. Kang Zhang. He is an ophthalmologist and a professor at the University of California, San Diego and wanted to see what all the hype was about.
Bill Whitaker: What did you think when you first heard of CRISPR?
Kang Zhang: I was a little bit skeptical.
Bill Whitaker: Why skeptical?
Kang Zhang: It worked so well. Too well to be believable.
He decided to experiment on mice with retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic form of blindness. He conducted a vision test using a mouse with the disease.
Bill Whitaker: This is the blind mouse?
Kang Zhang: This is the blind mouse. And– obviously, you can see that he is ignoring the rotating stripes.
His researchers injected CRISPR into the eye of another blind mouse. The CRISPR was programmed to find the main gene associated with the disease and turn it off. It takes three months to see the results.
Kang Zhang: Now, let’s see how he’s responding to the light.
Bill Whitaker: He’s following it around.
Kang Zhang: Yes.
Bill Whitaker: Look at that. You’re sure that he is seeing these lights?
Kang Zhang: This is actually a very commonly used test for vision.
Bill Whitaker: How much of their sight do they recover?
Kang Zhang: About 30, sometimes even 50% of the sight for– for mice.
The next phase of Dr. Zhang’s research is to see how CRISPR works on one of our closer relatives. He sent us this video from his lab in China where he’s studying monkeys with retinitis pigmentosa. The blind monkey ignores the food. He says this monkey was treated with CRISPR and it’s easy to see the difference. Dr. Zhang hopes to try this on humans soon.
If CRISPR is used to treat disease or make a drug it could mean big bucks. The Broad and Feng Zhang hold a primary patent for CRISPR’s use in human cells in the United States. But no technology is developed in a vacuum. Biochemist Jennifer Doudna at the University of California, Berkeley and her team made landmark CRISPR discoveries.
This week, they are challenging Zhang and the Broad in court for the rights arguing in part that Zhang’s advance was derived from her team’s breakthrough. It’s a high stakes battle. CRISPR is projected to be a multi-billion dollar market in a decade.
Bill Whitaker: Does that mean big business for you?
Feng Zhang: I think we’re– we’re still– quite a ways away from developing– CRISPR into a real therapeutic.
Bill Whitaker: I think you’re being a little bit modest. I mean this is sparking an incredible boom in biomedicine. And you’re in the center of it.
Feng Zhang: I think there is still really a lot of work that still needs to be done, developing the systems so that they are efficient enough, making sure that they are safe enough, but these are things that– that we’re working hard to– to make possible.
“While it’s not gonna affect somebody who might be dying of a disease today, this is gonna have a real effect over the course of the next decade and couple of decades.”
But, what if it were possible to stop disease from even occurring? That sounds like science fiction, but a team of researchers in Portland, Oregon say with CRISPR, it’s now a reality.
Bill Whitaker: You correct it at the very, very earliest stages of life.
Shoukhrat Mitalipov: Right.
Bill Whitaker: In the womb.
Shoukhrat Mitalipov: Even before the womb.
Manipulating embryos has been the focus of Shoukhrat Mitalipov’s career. He runs the Center for Embryonic Cell and Gene Therapy at Oregon Health and Science University. Mitalipov is a maverick. He regularly makes headlines with his innovative, sometimes controversial methods to prevent genetic disease.
Shoukhrat Mitalipov: Preventing is always more effective– so there would be no– no recurrence of new disease. Particularly when we’re talking about heritable– diseases that parents pass to children.
So Mitalipov and an international team of scientists decided to use CRISPR on human embryos to correct a single genetic mutation that causes a deadly heart disease called hypertropic cardiomyopathy.
They got healthy eggs from donors and sperm from a man who carries the disease. At the same time the eggs are fertilized, they also get an injection of CRISPR. Mitalipov enlarged the microscopic procedure over three hundred times so we could see it.
Shoukhrat Mitalipov: Here we have our pipette with sperm inside, which has been already exposed to CRISPR. And this is a egg. And so what we need to do is pierce through, and then we break membrane. And now –
Bill Whitaker: Release the sperm into the egg.
Shoukhrat Mitalipov: Yeah. And now this is the sperm coming in.
Bill Whitaker: Wow.
Shoukhrat Mitalipov: Now it’s inside there.
Bill Whitaker: Just like that, that egg has been CRISPRed?
Shoukhrat Mitalipov: CRISPRed, fertilized.
Bill Whitaker: And you have changed the genetic destiny of that embryo.
Shoukhrat Mitalipov: Yes, we believe so.
These embryos will never be implanted, but they are grown in an incubator for three days and then checked to see if they carry the disease mutation.
Normally, 50 percent would. Mitalipov says with CRISPR, 72 percent were free of the mutation that would cause the heart disease.
Bill Whitaker: This is a huge– advance in science and medicine.
Shoukhrat Mitalipov: We hope so. I think we– we’re still kind of in the early stages. I wouldn’t say that we are ready to– to go to clinics now.
He knows his results have to be replicated by an outside lab before they’re accepted by the scientific community. But if they hold up, one day CRISPR could be used to help families that have been plagued by inherited disease for generations.
Bill Whitaker: Is that what drives you?
Shoukhrat Mitalipov: Yes. Of course, it’s a suffering of children, but also the guilt the parents have at saying, “I passed it to my child.” So it’s like, “I caused this disease.” And I think now, we have a tool where we could help these families.
Mitalipov wants to use CRISPR to eliminate disease, but the concern is his research has created a blueprint for less scrupulous doctors to design human beings – to edit embryos to make babies that are smarter, taller, stronger. Mitalipov says that’s not even possible right now.
Bill Whitaker: Your critics say that you’re playing God.
Shoukhrat Mitalipov: I think– you could say to– to every treatment that they– humans and doctors develop that– we– we’re playing God. God gave us brains so we could find a way to eliminate suffering of human beings. And if that’s– you know, playing God, I guess that’s the way it is.
Bill Whitaker: So what do you think about editing an embryo to prevent disease?
Feng Zhang: We don’t really understand how complicated biology is. There’s a gene called PCSK9. If you remove PCSK9, you can reduce cardiovascular disease, heart attack– risks significantly. But it also has been shown recently to increase risk for diabetes. So how do you make the judgment call between these tradeoffs? And there will likely be other—impacts we haven’t yet identified. So I think we need to wait and be more cautious.
Eric Lander: I don’t think we’re close to ready to use it to go edit the human population. I think we’ve gotta use it for medicine for a while. I think those are the urgent questions. That’s what people want right now, is they want cures for disease.
Those urgent questions might soon be answered. A small clinical trial, the first in the U.S. using CRISPR to target certain types of cancer, is now enrolling patients.
Eric Lander: I wanna always balance hope versus hype here. While it’s not gonna affect somebody who might be dying of a disease today, this is gonna have a real effect over the course of the next decade and couple of decades. And for the next generation, I think it’ll be transformative.
