FDA grants two orphan drug designations for Bayer's Riociguat
Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Bayer, has obtained two separate orphan drug designations from the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Office of Orphan Products Development for its investigational, oral medication riociguat, proposed trade name Adempas.

Riociguat (BAY 63-2521) is a novel drug that is in clinical development by Bayer. It is a stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase(sGC). At the moment Phase III clinical trials investigate the use of riociguat as a new approach to treat two forms of pulmonary hypertension (PH): chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Riociguat constitutes the first drug of a novel class of sGC stimulators.
The first nitric oxide (NO) independent, haem-dependent sGC stimulator YC-1, a synthetic benzylindazole derivative, was described in 1978. The characterisation 20 years later demonstrated that as well as increasing sGC activity, YC-1 acted in synergy with NO to stimulate sGC. However, YC-1 was a relatively weak vasodilator and had side effects. Therefore, the search began for novel indazole compounds that were more potent and more specific sGC stimulators. The result was the identification of BAY 41-2272 and BAY 41-8543. Both compounds were tested in various preclinical studies on different animal models and appeared to improve systemic arterial oxygenation. To improve the pharmacologic and pharmacokinetic profile an additional 1000 compounds were screened leading to the discovery of riociguat. Riociguat was tested in mouse and rat disease models, where it effectively reduced pulmonary hypertension and reversed the associated right heart hypertrophy and ventricular remodelling.
Several clinical trials have been undertaken to investigate and evaluate diverse aspects of riociguat and some of them are still ongoing
Riociguat (BAY 63-2521), N-[4,6-Diamino-2-[1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-yl]pyrimidin-5-yl]-N-methylcarbamic acid methyl ester, is a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator. Riociguat is under investigation for the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Michelakis et al., Eur. Respir. J., 2009, 33(4), 717-21; Ghofrani et al., Eur. Respir. Rev., 2009, 18(111), 35-41; Mittendorf et al., ChemMedChem,2009, 4, 853-65; and WO 2006037491.
Riociguat has also shown promise in treating hypertension, angina pectoris, heart failure, atherosclerosis, thromboembolism, platelet activation, asthma, bronchoconstriction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary vasoconstriction, acute respiratory distress syndrome, cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, cerebrovascular disorders, cerebrovasospasm, transient ischemic attacks, stroke, migraine, migraine with vertigo, genitourinary disorders, benign prostate syndrome, benign prostate hyperplasia, benign prostate enlargement, urinary incontinence, bladder outlet obstruction, neurogenic bladder syndrome, pelvic pain, prostate hypertrophy, sexual dysfunction,
Raynaud's phenomenon, increased cellular proliferation, endothelial dysfunction, erectile dysfunction wounds, scarring, fibrotic disorders, renal disorders, renal failure, renal hypertension, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, non-alcoholic hepatosteatosis, hepatitis, diabetic nephropathy, hypercholesterolemia, osteoporosis, optic nerve damage, and glaucoma.

Adverse effects associated with riociguat include headache, nasal congestion, flushing, overheating sensation, orthostatic hypotension, and heart palpitations.

There is an unmet clinical need to develop a pharmacological therapy to counter opioid-induced respiratory depression without interfering with analgesia or behavior. Several studies have demonstrated that 5-HT1A receptor agonists alleviate opioid-induced respiratory depression in rodent models. However, there are conflicting reports regarding their effects on analgesia due in part to varied agonist receptor selectivity and presence of anesthesia. Therefore the authors performed a study in rats with befiradol (F13640 and NLX-112), a highly selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist without anesthesia.
Respiratory neural discharge was measured using in vitro preparations. Plethysmographic recording, nociception testing, and righting reflex were used to examine respiratory ventilation, analgesia, and sedation, respectively.
Befiradol (0.2 mg/kg, n = 6) reduced fentanyl-induced respiratory depression (53.7 ± 5.7% of control minute ventilation 4 min after befiradol vs. saline 18.7 ± 2.2% of control, n = 9; P < 0.001), duration of analgesia (90.4 ± 11.6 min vs. saline 130.5 ± 7.8 min; P = 0.011), duration of sedation (39.8 ± 4 min vs. saline 58 ± 4.4 min; P = 0.013); and induced baseline hyperventilation, hyperalgesia, and "behavioral syndrome" in nonsedated rats. Further, the befiradol-induced alleviation of opioid-induced respiratory depression involves sites or mechanisms not functioning in vitro brainstem–spinal cord and medullary slice preparations.
The reversal of opioid-induced respiratory depression and sedation by befiradol in adult rats was robust, whereas involved mechanisms are unclear. However, there were adverse concomitant decreases in fentanyl-induced analgesia and altered baseline ventilation, nociception, and behavior.
In conscious rats, administration of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist, befiradol, reversed fentanyl-induced respiratory depression, but also antinociception, and caused abnormal behaviors that may limit clinical efficacy.
Reversal of opioid-induced respiratory depression without reversal of analgesia is an important unmet clinical need
Studies suggest that 5-HT1A receptor agonists may provide such selective reversal, at least in some animal models
In conscious rats, administration of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist, befiradol, reversed fentanyl-induced respiratory depression, but also antinociception, and caused abnormal behaviors that may limit clinical efficacy

Isuzu Ranks Highest among Mass Market Brands In New-Vehicle Sales Satisfaction in Thailand for Second Consecutive Year
BANGKOK: 30 September 2016 — With declining new-vehicle sales in Thailand, automotive dealers are paying closer attention to their customers, which is resulting in higher customer satisfaction with the new-vehicle sales experience, according to the J.D. Power 2016 Thailand Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) Study,SM mass market segment, released today.
As the automotive industry in Thailand suffers its fourth consecutive year of declining sales, automotive dealers are working even harder as they compete for business from a smaller pool of buyers. And customers are appreciating the extra attention they are getting from the dealership, as overall satisfaction with the sales process improves to 811 (on a 1,000-point scale) in 2016 from 801 in 2015. Furthermore, the proportion of delighted customers—those who rate their overall purchase experience 10 (on a 10-point scale)—increases to 22% from 8% a year ago.
"Dealers overall are doing a great job of enhancing the sales process to delight customers, and they must remain committed to this cause," said Siros Satrabhaya, country manager at J.D. Power Thailand. "Focusing on price cuts and giveaways to attract customers is not sustainable in the long run. Instead, dealers must work on developing personal connections with their customers so that when the market picks up, they will be better positioned to gain from customers' repurchase and recommendation activities."
Customers are increasingly driving a harder bargain, with their pre-shopping research focusing on learning where to get the best deal. The study finds that 58% of customers are using the internet to research their new-vehicle purchase, and two of the three most often searched topics are related to getting the best deal: vehicle pricing (78%); product brochures (60%); and promotions (52%).
Additionally, 51% of all customers indicate receiving discounts and getting additional freebies from their dealer, including accessories (93%); first year of auto insurance (86%); and vehicle service packages (18%). Despite receiving discounts and more freebies, 9% of customers say they paid more than expected for their vehicle, a sharp increase from 2% in 2014.
"To lift satisfaction levels even higher, salespeople who are able to demonstrate how the vehicle is a value-for-money product can help steer customers away from being fixated on the price," said Satrabhaya. "Understanding their customers, their family profile and their usage needs, along with providing relevant comparisons with competing models are some effective ways to achieve that."
Now in its 17th year, the study examines six factors that contribute to overall customer satisfaction with their new-vehicle purchase experience in the mass market segment. In order of impact on overall sales satisfaction, those factors are delivery process (19%); dealer facility (19%); sales initiation (17%); deal (16%); delivery timing (15%); and salesperson (15%). Sales satisfaction performance is reported as an index score based on a 1,000-point scale, with a higher score indicating greater satisfaction with the new-vehicle sales and delivery processes.
Following are additional key findings of the study:
- Shoppers Bypassing Auto Manufacturers' Websites: When using the internet to research cars for purchase, customers are twice as likely to browse the auto section of consumer/ news website or web portals (78%) as manufacturer websites (37%).
- Salespeople Handling Vehicle Financing: Nearly two-thirds of the vehicle finance application cases are handled by the salesperson. Overall satisfaction with the deal is higher (801) when the application is handled by the salesperson rather than someone at the dealer's finance desk (787) or the finance company itself (762).
- More People Are Sharing Cars: The percentage of customers who share the use of their new vehicle has increased to 46% in 2016 from 36% in 2015. Additionally, 47% of customers say that at least three or more people typically ride in the vehicle, a 5 percentage point increase from 2015.
- Satisfied Customers Are More Loyal, Provide Recommendations: Among highly satisfied customers (overall satisfaction scores of 910 and higher), 64% say they "definitely would" purchase the same brand of vehicle and 81% say they "definitely would" recommend the brand to family and friends. In contrast, among customers who are highly dissatisfied (scores of 727 and lower), only 38% say they "definitely would" repurchase the same brand and only 49% say they "definitely would" recommend the brand to others.
Study Rankings
Isuzu ranks highest in sales satisfaction for a second consecutive year, with a score of 822. Isuzu performs particularly well in the sales initiation, dealer facility, deal, salesperson and delivery process factors. Honda and Toyota rank second in a tie, each with 814, while Suzuki ranks fourth with 813.
The 2016 Thailand Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) Study is based on responses from 2,560 new-vehicle owners who purchased their vehicle from August 2015 through April 2016. The study was fielded from February through June 2016.

It's going to be tougher to get a government-backed mortgage on Monday.
Next week, home buyers with ongoing credit disputes over $1,000 will no longer be approved for a mortgage backed by the Federal Housing Administration. Buyers with collection accounts will either have to pay the debt off or enter into a documented payment plan.
Buyers will also have to show that three payments have been made toward the debt. The payment will be factored into the buyer's debt-to-income ratio, which could lower the amount that can be borrowed.
Andy Wood of American Mortgage Services in Tampa doesn't expect a drop in mortgage applications because of the new rule. He expects that buyers with disputed accounts will rectify them before applying for a loan.
"It will make people wait longer to apply," Wood said. "It will also create more paperwork."
Before the new rule, an underwriter could determine whether the collection accounts would impact the approval of a mortgage. The new rule comes as belt-tightening for the federal agency, since it had no earlier requirement that disputed credit accounts be paid off.
Since the housing market tanked and banks tightened lending standards, more buyers have sought government-backed loans because they only require a down payment of 3.5 percent. Conventional loans generally require higher down payments.
Credit accounts more than 2 years old or those related to identity theft will not be factored into the new rule. The lender, however, must document the fraudulent charge with a police report. If the outstanding balance of all collection accounts is less than $1,000, borrowers are not required to pay off the debts to get mortgage approval, the FHA says.

Here's a look from the 2014 Emmys, which I believe is not going to get the attention it rightfully deserves. Robin Wright took to the red carpet in LA last night wearing a white pantsuit, only this wasn't your average pantsuit. No, no, this was an ensemble of epic style propositions. Designer Ralph Lauren is responsible for the look, that supports the idea of "business in the front and party in the back." Red carpet onlookers were stunned as Wright turned to face cameras and revealed a completely backless creation. It's just, well, it's just perfection. She's keeping things classic overall and adding a modern and beautiful twist to an otherwise simplistic ensemble. This is a combination of brilliant designer, expert stylist and the amazing body belonging to Robin Wright. In short, it is a red carpet moment to put down in the books as "girl done good."

§ Mr. Speaker
Before I call on the Leader of the House, I will read to the House a letter which I received yesterday from Mr. Baker:
§ "Wormwood Scrubs Prison.
§ 2nd December, 1954.
§ Dear Mr. Speaker,
§ By the kind dispensation of the Governor I am at last able to write to you this short letter, in order to offer my most humble apologies to you, and, through you, to the Prime Minister and the House of Commons for the trouble I have caused you and any discredit I have inadvertently brought upon the House, over the past months.
§ As you know, proceedings commenced while I was recovering from my illness, and I discovered, to my dismay, that I was unable to vacate my seat in any way while the matter was "sub judice." I hastened the proceedings as far as was possible, and refused to Appeal, so that you can now dispossess me of my scat without delay.
§ I must end as I began; by begging the House to accept my most sincere apologies. I can only assure you that my regret, remorse and repentance during the past three months were doubled by the knowledge that, in addition to my friends and colleagues elsewhere, I had also embarrassed my friends and colleagues in the House of Commons. I can only ask you and, through you, them to accept this expression of these regrets. I cannot ask for your forgiveness; I dare to hope for your pity and your prayers
§ I hope, too, that you will' receive with compassion and some measure of understanding this letter to testify to my sorrow that I should have involved in my own personal misfortunes the House of Commons of which I was so proud and honoured to be a Member.
§ I am, Mr. Speaker,
§ Your humble and obedient servant,
§ Peter Baker."
§ Mr. Crookshank
I beg to move,That the letter addressed to Mr. Speaker by Mr. Justice Lynskey and the Record of the Proceedings upon the Trial of the Indictment against Mr. Peter Arthur David Baker be now considered.I am sure that the whole House will share my feelings when I say that I find the moving of this and the following Motion a most melancholy task. I do not think I need comment upon the circumstances, as the facts have been established by the return made by my right hon. and gallant Friend the Home Secretary. Sir, cases of this sort are fortunately very rare and I feel, and I hope that I am right, that the House will have no desire to go further in the matter.
§ Question put and agreed to.
That Mr. Peter Arthur David Baker be expelled this House.—[Mr. Crookshank.]

I've been lucky enough to attend the Great American Beer Festival for the past nine years in a row. Over that time, I've watched it grow bigger and I've watched the beers get better. I've also watched the traditional opening notes from the bagpipe-and-drum corps during most of those years, but apparently I never noticed how big that band was. Maybe that's because it's usually swallowed up by the throngs of people who come pouring through the door, necks covered in pretzels, hands firmly gripping plastic tasting cups. Most years, the bagpipers could barely make it through the hall as they fought with attendees for their bit of floor space.
But on Thursday — the opening night of the three-day fest — the bagpipe-and-drum corps looked a lot bigger, and it had plenty of room to move inside the Colorado Convention Center. So, it seems, did everyone else.
Two years ago, the Boulder-based Brewers Association, which hosts GABF, announced that it had secured an extra 90,000 square-feet of space for this year's fest. The addition was a long time coming — and something the BA had been after for years.
Organizers decided to up the number of attending breweries this year — from 710 to nearly 800 — as well as the number of attendees — from 49,000 to 60,000 over the four sessions — and also rearranged some things. The biggest change is the addition of a whole new hall, called the Meet-the-Brewer area, which features more than 100 different breweries. The booths here are larger, and staffed by GABF brewery employees and representatives rather than volunteers. (I hung out at the Wynkoop Brewing booth for at bit, and if you are going to the festival tonight, try the Wynkoop's two Law's Whiskey barrel-aged beers, a stout and a quad. They're both awesome.)
The extra space made a major difference. Not only was this area fun and interesting to walk through, but it created significant elbow room throughout the entire convention center, making it easier to find specific booths, to locate friends, to make your way from one side to the other. There were also plenty of tables and chairs where you could reset, check in on Untappd, eat a hot dog, drink some water.

And finally, there are now two entrances into the GABF. Although attendees were penned in like cattle at the new one, I've only heard positive reports about the experience. Having two entrances eliminated the overwhelming rush on brewers at the front of the festival, and while there were still lines at some of the big, popular breweries and the smaller, big-buzz breweries, most booths had no lines at all.

How Hydrology Studio Helps the Solo Civil Engineer
Did you know that 20 percent of all civil engineers work for themselves? There's a good reason. As a solo civil, you can create a niche to which you'll dedicate all of your attention and be better than anyone else. Yes, even the big guys. Hydrology Studio Suite of products allows you to differentiate yourself with outstanding professional work, standardized outputs and design processes that establish you as the urban drainage design expert. Once you're the established expert, you'll have the audience and credibility that lets you compete on any level.
It was designed for you, not for everyone
When our company founder Terry, was working solo in the consulting field, he found every hydraulics and hydrology software on the market was built for some other company or by some government entity, and not for him. Frustrated, he wanted something better. Something less complicated, easy to learn, and inexpensive. Something designed for him – a self-employed civil engineer.
So he built it.
Today, thousands of solo professional civil engineers and start-ups are producing better drainage designs in less time. If you're still using outdated or complicated stormwater modeling software, or even worse… a spreadsheet, getting H&H work done quickly is probably harder than it needs to be.
You have a better option…
So… Should you upgrade to Hydrology Studio?
The not-so-shocking answer: Yes. Why? Because you will save so much time – your precious time – that hydrology Studio will pay for itself many times over. Here's what you'll get:
- Software that's dead simple to use with beautiful graphics and reports
- Consistent work flows and standardized outputs
- H&H work that looks 10-times more professional than the next guy
- Simple and affordable licensing (Subscription or Perpetual)
- An extra seat for your laptop or home PC
Hydrology Studio is an investment in you. It will free up your time so you can focus on the best opportunities in front of you, and do what you love doing ridiculously well, better and faster than before. And better than anyone else.

"What is the concrete, tangible effect?" This is what my Life Coach asked me yesterday when I was expressing my sadness and anger about some people who behaved in some pretty hurtful ways towards me, including making snide remarks behind my back, in my face, trying to sway a group of people to view me with their same bitter and warped projections they had and a part of me felt powerless.
I didn't understand what he meant until he broke it down. He asked was I in contact with any of these people regularly. No. Do I work for them. No. Are they affecting my ability to create and produce my show. No. Is their behavior influencing how he or my close family or real friends view me. No.
When I really thought about it, all they could do was talk. That's it. No other violations had taken place and yes, it hurt, but it really showed me who they were, not that I didn't already know. They weren't foolish enough to put their hands on me, they just ran their mouth. And if their words can influence the minds of people who have never taken the time to get to know me, those are people who I have no desire to engage with anyway.
The only time it really matters what people say or do is if it has a concrete, tangible effect on One's life. I can't make people like me. I can't make people not gossip about me. I can't make people understand me, accept me, want to be my friend. I can't control what ideas they will form about me, what they post, whether or not they speak to me or invite me to something. And yes, it may sting, but I won't die from it. It is not affecting my ideas, my ability to walk, go to work, eat, breath. At worst, MY feelings are hurt – and that I CAN CONTROL.
The only thing on this planet that we have any type of control over are our perceptions and how we choose to respond to things. That's it. And I choose to limit my interactions with unworthy witnesses who have nothing better to do than point out all the flaws in others in order to give their own worthless lives some miniscule meaning.

Do You Have Brittle Nails Or You're Not Sleeping Well? You Need To Eat This.
The adrenal glands are essential to our wellbeing. We have two of them, and they have an important role in producing hormones we need. Contrary to popular belief, they are not symmetrical. The right adrenal gland is triangular shaped, while the left one is shaped like a half-moon. Both adrenal glands are located above the kidneys, meaning in the middle of the lower back area. They are located particularly in this area as they have a strong impact on the kidney function through the release of aldosterone.
As a matter of fact, the word "adrenal" derives from the Latin ' ad renes' , which means near the kidney.The adrenal glands consist of three layers, all of which have their own, specific function. They are as follows:
- The Capsule: The adipose capsule is basically a protective layer made up of fat, surrounding each of the adrenal glands. The major function of this layer is to protect the adrenals from any potential damage.
- The Cortex: The cortex makes up 80 percent of the adrenal glands and it contains three separate zones: the zona glomerulosa, the zona fasciculata and the zona reticularis. Its major roles include production of hormones like DHEA, DHEA-S and androstenedione, production of corticosteroids ( which suppress inflammation, keep blood pressure in check, and enerate energy from non-carbohydrate foods), and production of mineralocorticoids like aldosterone.
- The Medulla: It secretes pinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine, and dopamine and its major role is to help us manage stress.
As mentioned above, the adrenal glands have critical role in producing hormones, such as adrenaline and steroids. These hormones boost immunity, regulate blood pressure, improve the metabolic rate, and also help the body handle stress better. Any problem with the adrenal glands may lead to certain health issues, particularly affecting sleep patterns and the health of your nails and hair.
The good news is that choosing the right food and incorporating good-for-you ingredients in your daily diet may help boost the function of your adrenal glands. The recipe below is one of them!
- Dried parsley leaves
- Brazilian walnuts
- Ground ginger
- Raisins
- Organic honey
Run the dried parsley leaves and Brazilian walnuts through a food processor, and then stir in the ginger, raisins, and honey. Blend until smooth.
Take two tablespoons of the mixture on an empty stomach, preferably twice weekly. In a matter of weeks, the function of your adrenal glands will significantly improve. Your sleep will improve, you hair will get back its natural shine, and your nails will stop breaking off.

My perfect Christmas Dinner – Sides. A perfect Christmas roast turkey dinner isn't a perfect Christmas dinner for me without the stuffing, gravy, roast potatoes, and the rest of the sides. Honey roast parsnips, buttered carrots and today's recipes braised red cabbage, Brussel sprouts and of course cranberry sauce.
The Perfect Christmas Roast Turkey Dinner
Most families in the United Kingdom traditionally sit-down on Christmas afternoon for their festive Christmas Dinner. Today the centerpiece is usually a roast Turkey served with stuffing, sausages wrapped in streaky bacon ( pigs in blankets ), crisp roast potatoes, parsnips, Brussel sprouts and lots of other vegetables, and cranberry sauce. This is followed by Christmas pudding and brandy sauce, maybe sherry trifle and mince pies.
My Delicious Homemade Buttery Mince Pies
Mince pies are a peculiarly British pie or tart now eaten across the English speaking world particularly America. They are traditionally served over the Christmas period.

The Green Party's proposal to tax carbon polluters has earned some praise from unlikely sources.
The Taxpayers' Union, a right-leaning lobby group, gave a vote of support yesterday to Greens' plan to charge industry for carbon emissions and return the revenue to households and businesses.
Executive director Jordan Williams said the policy appeared to provide a simpler, more transparent system than the Emissions Trading Scheme and could reduce New Zealand's tax burden.
"So long as the Greens continue to indicate that money raised by a new carbon tax will be used to reduce taxes on personal and company income, we're broadly in favour of a carbon tax over the existing ETS.
"A carbon tax would reduce compliance and administration costs and result in a stable price for emitters."
Right-wing media commentator Matthew Hooton also appeared to support the policy, saying it was stronger than Labour and National's climate change plans.
He tweeted: "Embarrassing for all concerned, but on first glance I think I support @NZGreens climate change policy over @NZNationalParty or @nzlabour."
The policy, revealed at the party's AGM in the weekend, would charge all sectors except agriculture $25 per tonne, costing industry $955 million a year. This would be returned to households via a tax break on the first $2000 of income and by cutting the company tax rate by 1 per cent.
The prospect of a charge on carbon stirred some concern within the farming community.
Federated Farmers climate change spokesman William Rolleston said the policy would be counter-productive because it would push agricultural production offshore, where farming was not as carbon efficient.
Dairy farmers would pay half-price ($12.50 per tonne) for their emissions, but they were expected to be worst affected by a carbon charge.
An analysis by economic consultancy BERL predicted it would cost farmers $30 a cow and reduce the profits of the average dairy farm by 12.5 per cent.
New Zealand produces around 76 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent a year, 25 per cent more than in 1990. Agriculture contributes around 46 percent of total emissions, roughly half of which was from dairy farms.
The policy would need support from Greens likely coalition partner Labour to get off the ground in a potential coalition deal.
Labour are not commenting on the proposal.

Vo posted wins at No. 1 singles and doubles this afternoon for the Skyhawks.
Vo, O'Donnell and Ray lead Skyhawks as double-winners
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (September 25, 2016) – Stonehill College, ranked sixth in the Oracle/Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Division II East Regional rankings, claimed its seventh straight win to maintain its perch atop the Northeast-10 Conference standings with a 9-0 sweep of American International College in NE-10 women's tennis action at Springfield Cathedral High School this afternoon.
Junior Colleen O'Donnell (Waterville, Maine/Waterville) and freshmen Alexandra Vo (Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania/Nazareth Academy) and Caroline Ray (Falmouth, Maine/Falmouth) led Stonehill to the victory as double-winners for the afternoon. Vo teamed up with junior captain Victoria Barbetta (Wesley Chapel, Florida/Saddlebrook Prep) for an 8-3 win at No. 1 doubles and then added a 7-5, 6-1 decision over American International sophomore Carleyah McLean (Pickering, Ontario/Dunbarton) at No. 1 singles.
O'Donnell combined with freshman Carolina Alvarez (Orlando, Florida/Freedom) for an 8-0 sweep at No. 2 doubles before breezing to a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 4 singles against postgrad Logan Smith (Southwick, Massachusetts/Holyoke Catholic). Ray was a double-winner for the first time in her collegiate career, posting an 8-0 win at No. 3 doubles with junior captain Janet Haas (Northbridge, Massachusetts/Northbridge). She followed that up with a 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 5 singles to clinch the fifth and deciding point for the Skyhawks.
Juniors Emma Prinos (Foxboro, Massachusetts/Foxboro) and Melissa Parker (Madison, Connecticut/Daniel Hand) and sophomore Nicole Downey (Groveland, Massachusetts/Pentucket Regional) all added singles wins for Stonehill. Downey posted a straight sets win at No. 2 singles, while Prinos won at No. 3 and Parker didn't drop a game at No. 6.
Stonehill (7-1, 7-0 NE-10) returns to the courts on Thursday when it visits Saint Anselm College for a Northeast-10 match at 3 p.m. The Skyhawks return home on Saturday, October 15, to host The College of Saint Rose for Senior Day at noon. American International (1-7, 1-7 NE-10) hosts Bentley University on Tuesday at 3 p.m.

Much cheaper option is make your own IDC ribbon cable. What you need is some IDC connectors and ribbon cable. For most modules you need to make cable with 10 contact IDC connector in another end and 16 another. 16 way connector goes to bus board and 10 to module.
Some commercial modules have 16 to 16 , but that´s more rare than usual.
I bought cable and connectors from Futurlec. Gray 10 way ribbon cable cost 0.40 $ per meter and 10 or 16 Contact IDC Socket Connector cost 0.25 $ each + S & H.
Well, without any maths here, it´s under 1 € per cable. Now, that´s a reasonable price for a cables!
Assembly is pretty easy, but you have to be careful to avoid any bad socket installs.. thought.
Leakage between single cables might cause short circuit and destroy your module eventually and that is not something what we want!
It´s good idea to first press connector and cable smoothly together with your hands. Be sure to use enough power, so socket stays in it´s place and doesn´t fall off . Check cable that it´s in right position and there isn´t any noticeable misplacement, then tighten up between vise jaws.
Let´s take a closer look DIY IDC ribbon cable assembly:
Connectors come in three part construction. First two from right is actual connector and part in left is cable holder.
Cable and connector firmly tighten together. Left side is 10 pin connector and 16 pin in right. Take note if you are making power cables for Eurorack modular system, 16 pin connector should be installed like in picture below. Connecting cable to the another side of connector you get int.gate, int. cv, + 5 V, +12 V and gnd from bus board. What we need is -12 V, gnd, +12 V. Red stripe in cable indicates - 12 V. More info about bus board pin outs from Doepfer technical details.
Almost there, tightening connector between vise jaws.
Installing cable holder.
All done!

In this Mobile Mushroom Unit we grow oyster mushrooms on coffee waste. This concept is highly mobile. If there is a large quantity of coffee waste available, we can land there.
In the Netherlands alone we throw away a staggering 120 million kilo of coffee waste every year.
One 40 ft container can yield up to 750 kilo of gourmet mushrooms every 2 months.
Does your city [or company] produce a lot of coffee waste? Come and talk to us about making that waste into profit. You can lease a complete farm with us and you can set up you own facility. Operational in 3 weeks, first harvest in 8 weeks.
From waste reduction to food production

Biology exams can seem intimidating and overwhelming to biology students. The key to overcoming these obstacles is preparation. By learning how to study for biology exams you can conquer your fears. Remember, the purpose of an exam is for you to demonstrate that you understand the concepts and information that have been taught. Below are some excellent tips to help you learn how to study for biology exams.
Get Organised
An important key for success in biology is organisation. Good time management skills will help you to become more organised and waste less time preparing to study.
Items such as daily planners and semester calendars will help you to know what you need to do and when you need to have it done.
Start Studying Early
It is very important that you start preparing for biology exams well in advance. I know, I know, it is almost tradition for some to wait until the last minute, but students who implore this tactic don't perform their best, don't retain the information, and get worn out.
Review Notes
Be sure that you review your notes before the exam. You should start reviewing your notes on a daily basis. This will ensure that you gradually learn the information over time and don't have to cram. You must know how to take notes.
Review the Biology Text
Your biology textbook or reference book are wonderful sources for finding illustrations and diagrams that will help you visualise the concepts you are learning. Be sure to reread and review the appropriate chapters and information in your book. You will want to make sure that you understand all key concepts and topics.
Get Answers To Your Questions
If you are having difficulty understanding a topic or have unanswered questions, discuss them with your teacher. You don't want to go into an exam with gaps in your knowledge.
Quiz Yourself
To help prepare yourself for the exam and find out how much you know, give yourself a quiz. You can do this by using prepared flash cards or taking a sample test. You can also use online biology games and quiz resources.
Find a Study Buddy
Get together with a friend or classmate and have a study session. Take turns asking and answering questions. Write your answers down in complete sentences to help you organise and express your thoughts.
Attend a Review Session
If your teacher holds a review session, be sure to attend. This will help to identify specific topics that will be covered, as well as fill in any gaps in knowledge. Help sessions are also an ideal place to get answers to your questions.
Now that you have followed the previous steps, it's time to rest and relax. You should be well prepared for your biology exam. It's a good idea to make sure you get plenty of sleep the night before your exam. You have nothing to worry about because you are well prepared.
Lastly, if donno, tanya ur teacher la....

Yes, I had a lot of growing up to do. In these sketchbooks, I really thought I was doing that!
Life in the Grief Books, 2
So among other things, we also managed to learn some stuff and do some work. Here I'm working on my diploma films, a communication design project about social harmony in the aftermath of the Gujarat riots. (Films are here and here).
Trying to break through a block during the same project.
and the perpetual problem of running out of time.
Life in the Grief Books
When I look at these sketchbooks now I can hardly recognize myself – which is probably a good thing! And I drew quite a bit in my last year at NID, so it was rather well documented. Here are some of the usual things we did in those days:
Walk in the backfields
Spend Sunday afternoons in the animation studio
Watch life-altering films
Hang out on the lawn
Agonize over nothing, really…

Sketchbook, Diploma Project
Leaving NID – Mumbai Sketchbook 2002
Well, it was rather stressful. And a bad hairdo didn't help. (Though I thought it would). The effects of the Ladakh trip had worn off. The characters of my diploma films came to haunt me every night…
as I struggled with drawing, inking and animation.
So I was always in a blue funk.
and then the brown boy (who was then just another guy) was always giving useless pieces of advice.
Sketchbook 2002
Last month I found a bunch of my old sketchbooks from NID in my parents' house. Here are some of the drawings from my last year.

Apart from the daily to-do list(s). And apart from the weekly and monthly ones as well.
So, here's my "top five" lists for the moment
1. List of lists to be made.
Yes, for reals.
2. Movies I want to be able to catch while they still run at theatres.
I really want to see Moonlight.
This is a constant one, that comes and goes, and that seldom gets anything checked off because work and kids and life and all that. But this winter we managed to see one movie with Eddi, so I've given new hope to actually seeing a couple more!
Also bubblin' under:
Books I want to read (I'd like to read far more than I do nowadays but feel I don't have the time. Hell, internet!)
Shows I want to watch (And no, these two are in no way connected. Ehrm...)
3. Things to renovate at home -
-wallpapers I want to use
Turns out there are more of those than walls. And it's good most of my lists are a slow process because this changes one throughout the years.
-storage; how to organise what and where
(this never ends)
-interior details to add after the hard work is done (the one you'd like to dig into immediately; fuck the hard work-part)
This set of lists is constant, because an old house will always need something, but is now back in the top-list segment, as things will kind of, somehow, finally start happening over here for reals soon!
4. Things to grow in the garden
It's a fun one though. Let's see if we make things happen big(-ger) this year, and all trough the summer...
5. Blog posts to write
If there's a hashtag #toooldtopublish here's where it comes to use.
Are you a list-writing person? Are your lists rather constant or do you get to check things off?

Junior Collin Buness scored on a give-and-go with linemate Daniel Voce 1 minute, 20 seconds into overtime to lift Princeton past Chisago Lakes 4-3 on Monday, Dec. 3, at Chisago Lakes Ice Arena in Lindstrom.
"The game-winning goal was the best feeling ever," said Buness, who also had two assists, after Princeton improved to 3-0-0.
Chisago Lakes (3-2-0) held leads of 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2, but the Tigers' Dan Muench tied it with 7:55 left in the third to force the overtime period. It was Muench's second goal of the game.
"We knew it would come down to who wanted it more, and by the end of the game we worked through it and were able to get the win," Princeton coach Jeff Hanson said.
Four minutes into the third period Chisago Lakes freshman Blake Lizotte scored five-hole on Princeton junior goaltender Max Mattson to give the Wildcats their 3-2 lead.
Princeton answered with great puck movement on the power play, which led to Muench's tying goal.
Mattson made 28 saves for the Tigers while Chisago Lakes' Jacob Dubose made 21 saves.

Interesting post (and replies). A lot of what I read here is a stepping point to philosophy, religion and belief structures. Men (yes, yes and women, kids and all other humans), frequently seem to feel the need to explain the world (universe) around them. And by God we will (oops, sorry that is one of the explanations used). So for this discussion we need to define what "good thinking" is that will be needed in general education.
Good clear logical thinking is frequently promoted as the way to go, so mathematics is touted as a good tool to practice with (cool, but why do we need imaginary numbers? – could we be missing something?). Programming allows us to manipulate multi-dimensional arrays, welllll, ok it really is just linear memory containing ones and zeros in repetitive patterns we imagine will represent what we perceive as a multi-dimensional object in our universe. Oops, what about the idea of multiple universes (oh, oh, universe does not have a plural does it?)
What we do with our perceptions, feelings, and experiences determine how we think. When we run up against a new situation or idea, we need to integrate it into our experience in a manner we can accept and apply to our lives. These new inputs cause us to extend or change how we perceive our world. Our application of this information allows us to change our world, or our perception of it.
Abstraction is something we do naturally since we cannot experience our world directly. Sight is merely the abstraction of the physical world around us by interpreting light bounced off real world objects. Touch is the abstraction of the real world objects as interpreted by nervous impulses detecting pressure and temperature. Smell is the interpretation of very small particles as they contact mucus membranes and their effect is transmitted to the brain by nerves. Hearing is the translation of vibration of the molecules surrounding the eardrum, and nerves sending a set of pulses to the brain.
Once you start thinking about how abstract our very lives are, those who can program and do math, need to look at others who think artistically, or emotionally, or intuitively in a different light.
An interesting thought, how are others abstractions different from our abstractions of life?
Thank you for a good and thought provoking post!
