Arix Bioscience plc. (10/1/18). "Press Release: Arix Bioscience plc Co-leads $58 Million Series A Investment Round for VelosBio". London.
> Arix co-leads a $58 million Series A investment in new Group Business, VelosBio Inc., bringing core portfolio[1] to 15 companies
> Arix commits $11 million (£8.4 million)[2] for 11.2% ownership stake
> Co-investment with strategic partner Takeda and leading venture capital investors
> Arix further strengthens position in oncology; investment in VelosBio increases oncology portfolio[3] to 5
Arix Bioscience plc (LSE: ARIX) ("Arix" or the "Company"), a global healthcare and life science company supporting medical innovation, today announces that it has invested in new Group Business, VelosBio Inc. ("VelosBio"), a next-generation oncology company, developing novel antibody-drug conjugates ("ADCs") to treat haematological cancers and solid tumours.
As part of the financing, Arix has committed to invest $11 million (£8.4 million) for an 11.2% stake on a fully diluted basis. Arix Investment Director, Mark Chin, will join the VelosBio board of directors.
The financing was co-led by new investors Arix and Sofinnova Ventures and included Pappas Ventures and Chiesi Ventures, as well as existing investors Takeda Ventures, Inc and Decheng Capital. Proceeds from the financing will be used to complete nonclinical development and advance the company's lead programmes into clinical studies.
Arix has built a diverse oncology portfolio that covers a range of different therapeutic modalities including CAR-T, DNA damage response / synthetic lethality, bi-specific antibodies, and targeted viruses. Arix's position in oncology is further strengthened by the investment into VelosBio, extending its oncology investments into ADCs.
ADCs are a new class of highly potent drugs designed as a targeted therapy for the treatment of people with cancer. In contrast to traditional chemotherapeutic drugs, ADCs only target cancer cells so that healthy cells are less affected.
VelosBio has a highly experienced leadership team, led by Chief Executive Officer, Dave Johnson, the former CEO of Acerta Pharma, which developed the approved blood cancer treatment, CALQUENCE (acalabrutinib), acquired by AstraZeneca for up to $7 billion in 2015. Prior to Acerta, Mr. Johnson contributed to the development and commercialisation of numerous approved global oncology agents holding roles of increasing responsibility in Clinical Development, Medical Affairs, Pipeline Development, and Commercial at Roche, Immunex (acquired by Amgen), Millennium (acquired by Takeda), Gloucester (acquired by Celgene), and Calistoga (acquired by Gilead Sciences).
VelosBio's Executive Vice President of Development and Chief Medical Officer, Langdon Miller, MD, is an accomplished drug development expert with over 25 years of experience in the design and conduct of translational and clinical drug development programmes in oncology and orphan diseases. Trained as a medical oncologist at Stanford University, he has held senior leadership positions at the National Cancer Institute, Pharmacia Corporation, PTC Therapeutics, Calistoga Pharmaceuticals, and Gilead, and has played a major role in the regulatory approvals of multiple clinically and commercially successful cancer therapeutics.
Joe Anderson, Chief Investment Officer of Arix, commented: "Cancer emerges through multiple molecular and cellular pathways and accordingly needs to be tackled with multiple therapeutic tools. Our strategy in oncology is to support a diverse portfolio of companies using novel and differentiated approaches to treat cancer and improve patient outcomes. VelosBio is led by an exceptional team developing a novel, high potential approach to the targeted killing of cancer cells. It is great to see such a strong syndicate come together to support the Series A, including leading venture capital groups and our strategic partner Takeda. We look forward to working with the VelosBio leadership team and our co-investors to help accelerate the development of this exciting company."
David Johnson, CEO of VelosBio, commented: "We are delighted with the strong support for the Series A financing from Arix, as well as our existing and new investors. The proceeds from the Series A will enable us to drive VelosBio's business forward ambitiously as we approach our next stage of growth and development. VelosBio will also be strengthened by Arix's extensive global networks and deep industry knowledge, and we are pleased to welcome Mark Chin to the Board."

Builders' merchant move makes the waves
Published: 16 November, 2011
BIRMINGHAM: A builders' merchant in Birmingham received a visit from local radio station, BRMB's Tom Ross, who broadcasted live from the site, before officially opening its new premises.
The Minworth branch of national chain, Selco Builders' Warehouse, has now moved to its new premises on the Chester Road, off the Tyburn Island in Erdington.
Tom Ross broadcasted live from the site, which is 50% bigger than the previous outlet, on October 17, before officially opening it to the public.
Mark Bramwell, general manager of Selco Tyburn, said that the move to the new premises was great news for customers. "We are always working hard to ensure that the service our customers receive keeps improving, and this massive new branch will mean even greater depth and breadth of stock on our shelves. That means customers know they can get what they need, when they need it," he said.
Customers will now benefit even more from bigger stocks of building materials, which are always on the shelf to take away there and then. There are also hundreds of new products available, as well as a new kitchen and bathroom showroom.
Selco Builders' Warehouse started out in Birmingham as a family run business, and now has 30 branches across the UK.

How to Choose the Best Scopes for SKS Rifles for Your Next Hunting?
Although the SKS is known as an easy-to-shoot, powerful and affordable rifle, it comes with a terrible sight (best used under 300 meters).
And to improve its effectiveness, you need to get an optic, particularly an SKS scope.
But how to find the best scopes for SKS rifles?
Follow us, and you will know now!
Our Rating
Things to Consider Before Buying the Best SKS Scopes
Since the SKS is neither a high-end rifle nor expensive, you can stick to low-cost or average scopes. Also, you need to determine your purpose and how you plan to shoot with it.
Of course, we will mention top scopes for SKS rifles.
But now we want to discuss some considerations that you MUST know for sure. From there, you easily make your decision.
Types of Scopes
Depending on your mounting setup, the kind of scope will be different.
People tend to select a forward mounted rail because of the top ejection port. Besides, the forward mount is much cheaper than a receiver mount.
However, this mount requires a dedicated scout scope.
Scout scopes come with a long eye relief that helps to move the scope farther. It also lets you shoot with both eyes, giving a better sight and broader view. Relying on that, you easily track moving targets.
Meanwhile, the traditional scope offers a high magnification range than the scout one (over 7x). And in this case, you need the receiver mount to attach this scope.
How to find the suitable magnifying power of the SKS scope?
It's best to opt for a magnification that is fit for the range of 300 yards.
If you're using the 7.62x39mm rifle, 9x power is what you need. Anything more will make you meet troubles to get target fixation.
You even cannot see your target clearly when you want to perform a quick snapshot.
Objective Lens
The objective lens is placed on the far end of the scope. And the last number in the description of the scope is the size of the objective lens.
For instance, a scope with the number of 5.5-22x56mm will include a 56mm objective lens.
So, the bigger the number is, the better you can shoot in low light.
But all in all, the lens that is at least 50mm is highly suggested.
Most of the scopes has coated optics and a sealed, nitrogen purged tube; meanwhile, the reticle can make the scope stand out.
In our opinion, you should find the illuminated reticle to help you determine targets in all lighting conditions.
Size and Weight
Since the SKS is a lightweight carbine with an intermediate round, you need to search for the scope that is lightweight and compact.
Relying on that, you won't ruin the handling characteristics of this rifle and end up with a big package.
The scope needs to have a decent warranty to reflect its quality. Avoid buying a scope from a brand that won't offer service if it breaks.
A Guide of Mounting The Scope for SKS Rifles
The SKS rifle includes an open breech and force spent brass vertically out of the chamber. That means you need to have an offset to lift the height of the scope; that is a scope mount.
And make sure this mount is stable, durable, and secure.
So, how to mount your SKS scope?
Firstly, the scope or any attachment need to be securely fastened to the rifle with minimal movement. This ensures better shooting accuracy when firing.
And to guarantee that the mount is firmly attached, you have to understand the best techniques to mount the scope on the SKS.
Additionally, you need to place the scope according to the optic and mounting base so that it won't get damaged when the rifle is shot from the ejection port.
Ways to Find a Suitable SKS Scope for Your Firing Style
Since the 7.62x39mm rifle being comparable in power to some 30-30 rounds, the SKS is mainly used as a deer cartridge in some places.
Also, you should notice practical considerations like loading with stripper clips. Or the problems of spent brass, modest magnification mounted on a secure, stable mount or a compact scope with fixed power are highly recommended.
NOTE that the SKS rifles aren't designed for the sniper-like accuracy.
However, it's good enough for your hunting.
Now, let's turn back to what we mentioned from the beginning!
What you need at this time is to find one of the scopes to increase the accuracy of your SKS.
These best SKS scopes in our list below have been selected to fit the basic operational parameters and functionality the rifle is capable of.

Top 3 Best Scopes for SKS Rifles 2019 Reviews
Our Rating
The truth is that we are a BIG fan of Vortex Optics because of two things including innovative and value-driven. Their products come with high-quality feature and parts that support you best.
And here is the Strike Eagle 1-6x24.
This scope is made exclusively for precision shooting or bench rest. You can get everything including 30mm tube, an illuminated reticle, and a single glass on a carbine.
But what makes us love this product is its magnification. Ranging from 1x to 6x, it offers a high-quality and multi-coated lens for clear sight and optimal low light performance.
Wonderfully, you can try pairing it with the glass-etched BDC reticle and then you can shoot further than the 7.62x39mm rifle.
Is there anything else?
Well, the Strike Eagle from Vortex Optics has the fast focus dial on the eyepiece to keep your reticle sharp. More importantly, it guarantees reliability in all weather conditions.
How about a warranty?
This product DOES come with Vortex lifetime warranty. But you might never need it because you might destroy your rifle before damaging the scope.
Perfect for long distance shooting
Super clear and crisp
Quick transition
Good support and care from customer service
Lifetime warranty
A bit heavy as compared other scopes in this list
Similar to Vortex Optics, Leupold has been a popular company when it comes to best SKS rifle scopes on the market. And if you are interested in this brand, you cannot go wrong with the Leupold 110797 VX-2.
One of the first brilliant points that we extremely love is its high-quality built.
This scope is made of 6061 T6 aircraft grade aluminum, giving a sturdy construction as well as a minimal weight. Also, it's filled with a blend of Krypton and Argon, which makes it resistant to fog and waterproof.
The next best thing is all about delivering clear and bright images. With great light transmission of up to 94%, the quality of images is significantly improved.
Moreover, the VX-2 is equipped with multicolored optics, allowing you to use even in poorly lit zones. And thanks to DiamondCoat lens coatings, the glasses will be scratch-resistant to prevent visible damages.
With the ¼ MOA finger click adjustments, you can easily make quick changes by your fingers without using additional tools.
And you never worry about defective or damaged scopes since Leupold offers an excellent lifetime guarantee.
Lightweight and sturdy
Easy to control with fingers
Offers clear images with low lighting
Excellent light transmission
Lifetime warranty
Value for the money
Not ideal for tactical shooting
Although Primary Arms is a new kid in the firearm industry, this company is famous for their top optics for the rifles.
Among, the Primary Arms 1-6x24mm SFP scope is what you need, guys.
For this product, all the lenses are multi-coated. These coatings are vital for gathering and transmitting light. So, the result is that you can get sharper and brighter images.
Having the second focal plane design is also a BIG point. It's because this kind of design offers better performance at all times.
Even if you alter the power, the reticle of the scope remains the same size. And this is good for getting fast target acquisition and better accuracy.
The eye relief of this model is rather impressive (from 3.3 to 3.5 inches). That means the scope will dig into your eye socket every time you shoot.
Additionally, its aluminum body construction is anodized a hard finish, offering better durability and excellent weather resistance.
Of course, Primary Arms offers a great lifetime warranty for any defect of workmanship or materials.
Durable and well-built
Good eye relief and reticle
Clear glass
Good warranty
Flip-up caps are flimsy
Let's Make Your Decision!
As long as you follow us from the beginning, finding the best scopes for SKS rifles is not a challenge.
Among the three listed above, we highly suggest the Leupold 110797 VX-2 scope. This model boasts one of the brightest and durable scopes in the firearm field. And importantly, it comes with an affordable price if you have a tight budget.
It's time to get your hands on an excellent scope and enjoy your next hunting with your SKS rifle! Be fun!

Desperate west Highland locals were told by Highland Council that they will have to wait for years before potholed roads around the Applecross peninsula are repaired.
The route extends from Lochcarron via Applecross down to Torridon and forms part of the famous North Coast 500 but concerned residents have now dubbed it the "Forgotten 50".
Such is the concern that Shieldaig Community Council approached former councillor Norman Cameron to write a report on the state of the road.
In Mr Cameron's account, the road condition "has been allowed to deteriorate to a diabolical state of disrepair and causes multiple disruptions and break downs on a year round basis."
"In the Forgotten 50 potholes and ruts are the most obvious signs of degradation but they, of course, are the end result of years of lack of maintenance.
"There are places where there are mature birch trees growing in the verge and ditches which is ample proof that they have not been maintained for the last 20 years."
Speaking yesterday Mr Cameron said "The road is called the Bealach na Ba, the pass of the cattle, if it continues then it will be only cattle that get past."
A Highland Council spokeswoman said: "There is no extra money and works will be undertaken over several years according to budgets.
"We have explained to the community that work will be phased over a number of years to fit with our budgets."
Tom Campbell, Managing Director of the North Coast 500, said: "We would hope that the Highland Council will be able to address these ongoing concerns of the local community in a positive way."
Now Shieldaig Community Council has sought a crisis meeting, set for today, with local authority officials to get answers about when the road could be repaired.
Claire Munday, who sits on the Community Council, said: "The road has been neglected.
"That impacts visitors and businesses that depend on tourism. It affects people trying to get to their jobs with disruptions and broken down cars."
She quoted one resident who wrote to her fearing visitors would tell others not to come: "The roads have become an embarrassment."
The state of the road led the Lochcarron Garage to go from one recovery vehicle to three, two with trailers as well as two motorbike trailers.

New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
is a
stock exchange
located at 11
Wall Street
New York City
New York
It is the largest stock exchange in the world by
United States dollar
of its listed companies'
. As of October 2008, the combined
of all domestic NYSE listed companies was
10.1 trillion.
The NYSE is operated by
NYSE Euronext
, which was formed by the NYSE's 2007 merger with the fully-electronic stock exchange
. The NYSE
trading floor
is located at 11 Wall Street and is composed of four rooms used for the facilitation of trading. A fifth trading room, located at 30
Broad Street
, was closed in February 2007. The main building, located at 18 Broad Street, between the corners of Wall Street and
Exchange Place
, was designated a
National Historic Landmark
in 1978, as was the 11 Wall Street building.
The Stock Exchange at 10-12 Broad street, in 1882
The origin of the NYSE can be traced to May 17, 1792, when the
Buttonwood Agreement
was signed by 24
stock brokers
outside of 68
Wall Street
in New York under a
buttonwood tree
on Wall Street.
On March 8, 1817, the organization drafted a constitution and renamed itself the "New York Stock & Exchange Board".
Anthony Stockholm
was elected the Exchange's first president (for other presidents, see
List of presidents of the New York Stock Exchange
The first central location of the Exchange was a room, rented in 1817 for $200 a month, located at 40 Wall Street. After that location was destroyed in the
Great Fire of New York
, the Exchange moved to a temporary headquarters. In 1863, the New York Stock & Exchange Board changed to its current name, the New York Stock Exchange. In 1865, the Exchange moved to 10-12 Broad Street.
The volume of stocks traded increased sixfold in the years between 1896 and 1901, and a larger space was required to conduct business in the expanding marketplace. Eight New York City architects were invited to participate in a design competition for a new building; ultimately, the Exchange selected the
neoclassic design
submitted by architect
George B.
. Demolition of the Exchange building at 10 Broad Street, and adjacent buildings, started on May 10, 1901.
The new building, located at 18 Broad Street, cost $4 million and opened on April 22, 1903. The trading floor, at 109 x 140 feet (33 x 42.5 m), was one of the largest volumes of space in the city at the time, and had a skylight set into a -high ceiling. The main façade of the building features six tall
Corinthian capitals
, topped by a marble sculpture by
John Quincy Adams Ward
, called "Integrity Protecting the Works of Man". The building was listed as a
National Historic Landmark
and added to the
National Register of Historic Places
on June 2, 1978.
In 1922, a building for offices, designed by
Trowbridge & Livingston
, was added at 11 Broad Street, as well as a new trading floor called the
. Additional trading floor space was added in 1969 the
Blue Room
, and in 1988 the
Extended Blue Room
, with the latest technology for information display and communication. Yet another trading floor was opened at 30 Broad Street called the
Bond Room
in 2000. As the NYSE introduced its
hybrid market
, a greater proportion of trading came to be executed electronically, and due to the resulting reduction in demand for trading floor space, the NYSE decided to close the 30 Broad Street trading room in early 2006. As the adoption of electronic trading continued to reduce the number of traders and employees on the floor, in late 2007, the NYSE closed the rooms created by the 1969 and 1988 expansions.
Stock Exchange Luncheon Club
was situated on the seventh floor from 1898 until its closure in 2006.
The floor of the New York Stock Exchange in 1908
The NYSE announced its plans to acquire
on April 21, 2005, in a deal intended to reorganize the NYSE as a publicly traded company. NYSE's governing board voted to acquire rival Archipelago on December 6, 2005, and become a for-profit, public company. It began trading under the name NYSE Group on March 8, 2006. A little over one year later, on April 4, 2007, the NYSE Group completed its merger with Euronext, the European combined stock market, thus forming the
NYSE Euronext
, the first transatlantic stock exchange.
Presently, Marsh Carter is Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, having succeeded

and the CEO is

The exchange was closed shortly after the beginning of
World War I
(July 31, 1914), but it partially re-opened on November 28 of that year in order to help the war effort by trading
, and completely reopened for stock trading in mid-December.
On September 16, 1920, a
bomb exploded on Wall Street
outside the NYSE building, killing 33 people and injuring more than 400. The perpetrators were never found. The NYSE building and some buildings nearby, such as the
JP Morgan
building, still have marks on their facades caused by the bombing.
Black Thursday
crash of the Exchange on October 24, 1929, and the sell-off panic which started on
Black Tuesday
, October 29, are often blamed for precipitating the
Great Depression of 1929
. In an effort to try to restore investor confidence, the Exchange unveiled a fifteen-point program aimed to upgrade protection for the investing public on October 31, 1938.
On October 1, 1934, the exchange was registered as a national securities exchange with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
, with a president and a thirty-three member board. On February 18, 1971 the non-profit corporation was formed, and the number of board members was reduced to twenty-five.
One of
Abbie Hoffman
's well-known protests took place on August 24, 1967, when he led members of the
movement to the gallery of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The protesters threw fistfuls of dollars (most of the bills were fake) down to the traders below, some of whom booed, while others began to scramble frantically to grab the money as fast as they could . Hoffman claimed to be pointing out that, metaphorically, that's what NYSE traders "were already doing." "We didn't call the press," wrote Hoffman, "at that time we really had no notion of anything called a media event." The press was quick to respond and by evening the event was reported around the world. Since that incident, the stock exchange has spent $20,000 to enclose the gallery with bulletproof glass.
On October 19, 1987, the
Dow Jones Industrial Average
(DJIA) dropped 508 points, a 22.6% loss in a single day, the second-biggest one-day drop the exchange had experienced, prompting officials at the exchange to invoke for the first time the "
circuit breaker
" rule to halt all trading. This was a very controversial move and led to a quick change in the rule; trading now halts for an hour, two hours, or the rest of the day when the DJIA drops 10, 20, or 30 percent, respectively. In the afternoon, the 10% and 20% drops will halt trading for a shorter period of time, but a 30% drop will always close the exchange for the day. The rationale behind the trading halt was to give investors a chance to cool off and reevaluate their positions. Black Monday was followed by Terrible Tuesday, a day in which the Exchange's systems did not perform well and some people had difficulty completing their trades.
Consequently, there would be another major drop for the Dow on October 13, 1989; the
Mini-Crash of 1989
. The crash was apparently caused by a reaction to a news story of a $6.75 billion leveraged buyout deal for UAL Corporation, the parent company of
United Airlines
, which broke down. When the UAL deal fell through, it helped trigger the collapse of the
junk bond
market causing the Dow to fall 190.58 points, or 6.91 percent.
Similarly, there was a panic in the financial world during the year of 1997; the
Asian Financial Crisis
. Like the fall of many foreign markets, the Dow suffered a 7.18% drop in value (554.26 points) on October 27, 1997, in what later became known as the
1997 Mini-Crash
but from which the DJIA recovered quickly.
On January 26, 2000, an altercation during filming of the music video for
Sleep Now in the Fire
, which was directed by
Michael Moore
, caused the doors of the exchange to be closed and the band,
Rage Against the Machine
, to be escorted from the site by security, after band members attempted to gain entry into the exchange.Trading on the exchange floor, however, continued uninterrupted.
The New York Stock Exchange (sometimes referred to as "the Big Board") provides a means for buyers and sellers to
in companies registered for public trading. The NYSE is open for trading Monday through Friday between 9:30am – 4:00pm
, with the exception of holidays declared by the Exchange in advance.
On the trading floor, the NYSE trades in a continuous auction format, where traders can execute stock transactions on behalf of investors. They will gather around the appropriate post where a specialist broker, who is employed by an NYSE member firm (that is, he/she is not an employee of the New York Stock Exchange), acts as an auctioneer in an
open outcry
auction market environment to bring buyers and sellers together and to manage the actual auction. They do on occasion (approximately 10% of the time) facilitate the trades by committing their own capital and as a matter of course disseminate information to the crowd that helps to bring buyers and sellers together.
As of January 24, 2007, all NYSE stocks can be traded via its electronic
Hybrid Market
(except for a small group of very high-priced stocks). Customers can now send orders for immediate electronic execution, or route orders to the floor for trade in the auction market. In the first three months of 2007, in excess of 82% of all order volume was delivered to the floor electronically.
The NYSE trading floor on August 2008
The right to directly trade shares on the exchange is conferred upon owners of the 1366 "seats". The term comes from the fact that up until the 1870s NYSE members sat in chairs to trade. In 1868, the number of seats was fixed at 533, and this number was increased several times over the years. In 1953, the exchange stopped at 1366 seats. These seats are a sought-after commodity as they confer the ability to directly trade stock on the NYSE. Seat prices have varied widely over the years, generally falling during recessions and rising during economic expansions. The most expensive inflation-adjusted seat was sold in 1929 for $625,000, which, today, would be over six million dollars. In recent times, seats have sold for as high as $4 million in the late 1990s and $1 million in 2001. In 2005, seat prices shot up to $3.25 million as the exchange was set to merge with Archipelago and become a for-profit, publicly traded company. Seat owners received $500,000 cash per seat and 77,000 shares of the newly formed corporation. The NYSE now sells one-year licenses to trade directly on the exchange.
NYSE Composite Index
In the mid-1960s, the
NYSE Composite Index
( ) was created, with a base value of 50 points equal to the 1965 yearly close. This was done to reflect the value of all stocks trading at the exchange instead of just the 30 stocks included in the
Dow Jones Industrial Average
. To raise the profile of the composite index, in 2003 the NYSE set its new base value of 5,000 points equal to the 2002 yearly close.

Here are some tips to get buyers to show up to your open house and fall head over heels for your winter listing!
1. Market warmth. When advertising homes for sale, I cater to the season. For example: in the cold winter months, featuring a photo of that fireplace filled with a roaring fire, surrounded by cosy winter colours. No fireplace? Candles and another warm lighting can convey the same inviting feeling that will make buyers want to curl up in your house all winter.
2. Don't forget about pathways. The easiest way to turn off a buyer is for them to slip on their way in. If ice is a possibility, be sure to purchase de-icing materials well before you open your house to potential buyers.
3. Add curb appeal. Even if gloomy weather makes landscaping a burden, you can attract buyers with a few simple touches. Place electric candles in windows, hang a wreath on the door and clean the yard of all debris.
4. Turn up the heat. People entering and exiting during an open house are sure to let in the cold air from outside — and the last impression you want to give buyers is that the home is difficult to heat. So crank up the heat a few degrees before the open house starts and they'll never want to go back out into the cold.
5. Offer hot drinks. Set out some hot drink options for buyers to sip on while touring the house. Coffee, cider and hot chocolate are all good ways to make a buyer feel cosy in your home. Put out plenty of mugs or to-go cups, along with cream and sugar.
Call me for help selling or buying a house in any season!

A week ago, Creative Assembly examined the bearing of its chronicled Total War arrangement. This week, the engineer prodded something new for Total War: Rome 2. Furthermore, today, the turn-based system master has uncovered Empire Divided as the new DLC going to its 2013 stalwart.
Set in 270 AD, Empire Divided visits the Roman Empire as it faces financial crumple and its "gravest emergency yet". With that, it's on you to reestablish the money to its previous transcendence (or, you know, destroy it) as you accept control of ten distinctive playable groups crosswise over five societies (each with its own social and group driven qualities), arrange new triumph conditions, and handle new crusade highlights—not minimum diseases, outlaws and religions.
That last part sounds especially fascinating. Here's distributer Sega with the inside scoop:
A clique building might be worked for no cost, as its development speaks to your realm allowing followers to settle inside your region. This makes faction rewards generally simple to acquire, however religions spread outside culture, bringing issue into your regions. Keeping in mind the end goal to evacuate a clique constructing, a huge use is required and an open request punishment is acquired required as this is considered abuse. Cautious thought of a clique's advantages and hindrances is required however, in the event that utilized accurately, they can turn into an effective instrument.

Nearby Total War: 2's Empire Divided battle pack, Creative Assembly will dispatch 'Power and Politics'— a complimentary refresh that redesigns Rome 2's current governmental issues framework. Here, impact and political help can be picked up from winning fights and finishing missions. Sega noticed that the Politics and Power refresh applies to Total War: Rome 2's base diversion and the majority of its DLC, bar Caesar and Gaul as it works its own political framework.

A Vegetarian's Guide to Protein
As a vegetarian for only a year now you'd think that being asked about my diet choice has yet to get repetitive. However, I am now used to being asked about why and how I'm a vegetarian, (sometimes more than once by the same people). When I'm asked why I'm a vegetarian I simply explain how it's a step in the right direction to make my diet full of natural, plant-based food from the earth (and perhaps avoiding meat hanging at market stands while on a trip to Cambodia was a contributing factor as well). Whatever your reason is for being a vegetarian, you've probably been pitched the question, that is: "but…how do you get protein?" I've gotten this numerous times (even got put on the spot by my biology professor during a lecture…not an ideal situation). So if you are a vegetarian, thinking about being a vegetarian, or simply want to understand the diet of a vegetarian, here is how we do it:
Quinoa: This is the first answer I spit out when given the ol' protein question, (except of course when I was called on in the middle of lecture and was too put on the spot to give an sufficient answer.) For those of you who do not know, quinoa (pronounced Keen-wah) is a pseudo grain. The title "pseudo grain" is pretty misleading because technically it is a seed, so it's also gluten free! This is an important staple to my diet because it's one of the few plant proteins that have the 9 essential amino acids all by itself, without combining with complementary proteins. One cup of quinoa has 24 grams of protein!
- Cook yourself a big batch in the beginning of the week and store the rest in a container to reheat throughout the week! Eat it with either veggies stirred in, avocado, eggs, or chick peas! You can also eat it like you would oatmeal, drizzle some honey on top, throw banana slices on top and sprinkle on some cinnamon!
Nuts and seeds: Almonds in particular offer the most protein compared to other tree nuts. As far as seeds go, chia seeds and pumpkin seeds offer a lot of protein as well! You can eat them alone as a snack or add them to your food! Aside from the fact that they are an easy source of protein, they are also good for our heart, support cognitive function and keeps our blood sugar in check.
Eggs: Eggs are still a part of most vegetarians' diet. The exclusion of eggs falls under the category of Vegan rather than vegetarian. One egg has 6 grams of protein, so if you make yourself a 2 egg omelet with perhaps a side of veggies and quinoa, you're off to a protein packed start of your day!
Soy beans: Another huge source of protein! One cup of soy beans contains 68 grams of protein, which is over the average person's daily intake of protein. Soy beans also contain the 9 essential amino acids, so they are sufficient substitute to meat, which is why tofu is used instead of meat!
If you are a vegetarian yourself, I hope you learned something new about plant protein! If you are just curious about how vegetarians get by, I hope you learned that we don't just live off of grilled cheese sandwiches. Even If you are a carnivore, add some of these proteins to your diet! They are healthy and accessible!

You Got that Wintertime, Wintertime Sadness
We all have a favorite season or certain time of year that makes us feel our best. For some its fall because of the cozy sweaters and warm colored leaves and for some its spring because of the vibrant flowers and newly green grass. While we all have personal preference on what kind of weather and time of year we enjoy, did you ever think that a season could be unhealthy for you? From the diagnosed disorder SAD (seasonal affective disorder) to simple wintertime blues, this cold time of year can take a toll on your mood. Therefore it is important to know how to beat the blues!
1.) Keep yourself in a consistent rhythm!
Now that a lot of us are on winter break, we have a lot of time to lay around and watch Netflix and sleep. Nothing wrong with relaxing! We all deserve it after finals after all, but too many lazy days will put you in a slump. Creating a solid routine for yourself such as going to the gym in the morning, go to work or any commitment you have during the day, and then set tasks and chores to complete that night will help you tackle the day with a purpose. Being lazy is a nice contrast from a hectic semester, but doing nothing but laying in your bed every day will do nothing for your health or your mood.
2.) Eat like its summer
Leave the colorless, and bland gloominess for outside and fill your plate with vibrancy! The complex carbohydrates in fresh produce will increase levels of serotonin in the brain, whereas fats and refined sugars, reduce brain-derived neurotropic factor, which is a protein that protects against being in a bad mood and even depression. So out with the pasta and holiday casseroles and in with the foods that make you feel like you're vacationing in the Caribbean!
3.) Expand your day
The sun may only be making an appearance til 5 or so but it doesn't mean you need to put your day halt. Wake up early and make use of the day! Waking up in the middle of the day will allow you to be up when the sun is for only a few hours which contributes to a Vitamin D deficiency. Get up, bundle up and go for a brisk walk and soak in the sun, even in if the air is cold!
- What is SAD?
These tips are helpful for anyone who wants to boost their mood during the winter, but being affected by the season can take more to beat the blues if you think you have Seasonal Affective Disorder. If you have signs of depression that make an appearance every year during the year but leave during the spring, it is important to see a doctor and discuss how to treat it. Ways to treat it include investing in a light box, exercise and proper diet, and investing in a negative ion generator which purifies indoor air, which can reduce SAD systems.
While we all love this time of year because of the Holidays, it is important that we know how to take care of ourselves and don't let our mood go into a slump after the 'holiday high'. Whether its simple wintertime blues where you can prevent getting into a potential depression or if you think you have symptoms that match up with SAD, it is important to know how to take care of yourself and keep yourself at your healthiest and happiest, year round!

A teacher has told how lottery funding brought revolutionary teaching methods to his school.
Clifton Primary School, on Clitheroe Road, St Annes, was awarded £9,460 in funding from the National Lottery to purchase the Cyber Coach games facility for teaching a range of lessons.
The computer unit comes with seven interactive mats which the pupils stand on to answer questions.
John Atkinson, a teacher at the school who arranged the funding, said: "It can be set up in classrooms and they are best described as dance mats which children step on to press buttons, depending on what comes on the screen.
"The lessons range to everything from foreign languages to maths and the reason it helps us is because it's physical activity for the children.
"Clubs are benefiting from this and it has also been brought into lessons.
"The system is still new to the staff and we still need to train them up on it.
"I've used it and the headteacher has seen it and we are rolling it out in lessons, so it's certainly a way of interacting with the children and helps teachers."
The new Lotto draw was launched two weeks ago and has bigger jackpots, a brand new raffle and the chance to win £25 by matching three numbers.
Tickets cost £2 and it is hoped the new format will benefit even more schools and groups by handing out thousands of pounds in funding.

Q&A: Phale Naake deputy director of strategic procurement at National Treasury and GBTA board member
12 Nov 2018 - by
Phale Naake is the deputy director of strategic procurement at National Treasury, and a new member of the GBTA board. Travel & Meetings Buyer sat down with Naake to discuss the challenges he faces and his ambitions at GBTA.
Q: How did you get involved in GBTA?
A: The first time I heard about GBTA, I was still with the Department of Labour. I attended a GBTA session on behalf of the department to find out more about GBTA – what it stands for, what its mission is, and how we as a department could benefit. Following the transformation of National Treasury's government travel policies, for which I was serving on two committees for National Treasury, GBTA invited National Treasury to speak at a function it was hosting in Sandton. Maureen (you can read Maureen Masuku's profile here) suggested to GBTA that they speak to me, given my involvement with, and knowledge of, National Treasury's transformation plan. I got approval from my department and went to speak at the function. Since then, the GBTA has seen me as a good resource when it comes to government travel and reforms, and has invited me to talk at other sessions to share government's experience.
Early this year, I was informed that the term of office of the GBTA's board was coming to an end and I was invited to serve as a board member.
Q: How do you plan to draw on your government experience in your role on the GBTA board?
A: For a long time GBTA has focused on corporates and not government. So by bringing me into GBTA, it is actually bringing government into its space. I am in a position to share with GBTA as to how government travel is being procured and the dynamics of government travel. Over and above that, I promote GBTA to my colleagues in government saying: here is a platform which, as government, we can share our information with, but also use to gain information from the industry. My role, being on the board from government's side, is providing the government perspective into GBTA, but also bringing government colleagues to come and understand and be part of the association. But I am also hoping to expose suppliers in the industry, who do not do business with government, to the necessary information and knowledge they require to do business with government in the future.
Q: What are some of the challenges you are hoping to tackle in this role?
A: We want to infuse government into the association, which, as I mentioned, has focused on the corporate side. We want our industry to understand that GBTA has a role to play in travel in South Africa and, if we [corporates and government] join hands, we will be able to enhance the industry. There are serious challenges in travel for both corporates and government. So how do we deal with these challenges together? Let's move forward on things we already agree on, and where we disagree, let's sit down and talk. And when we agree, we can move forward, and move the industry to a new and higher level. But if we sit on opposite sides with the GBTA in the middle trying to get everyone to co-operate, it won't work. So we're saying: we are in this together, and GBTA is the platform where we can all come together and strive towards a common goal.
Q: How long have you been involved in procurement and travel management?
A: It is now around a year with National Treasury, but in government, for over 10 years. I've managed travel and travel procurement in different institutions in government for the past 11 years, including at Rural Development, Sassa, Compensation Fund, and the Department of Labour.
Q: What is your approach when it comes to travel policy, and how do you communicate that to your travellers?
A: Government institutions used to have individual travel policies, some were too tight, some too loose, some just a document to guide people. As I indicated, as National Treasury needed to come up with interventions. Some of these were to standardise the travel policy, to have one framework that will be a travel policy framework. After inviting different government institutions to submit proposals for this, we then implemented it, and communicated it, as an instruction. We told the institutions to customise their operations into the framework and then get it approved. Institutions were then mandated to implement and enforce the policy, because the Auditor General will actually audit whether or not institutions have implemented and enforced the National Travel Policy.
Q: What do you see as your greatest achievement in your work life so far?
A: I'm a person who believes in leaving a legacy. My portfolio has been fleet and travel management, dating back to when I started working for government. But when I became the deputy director at the Compensation Fund, my portfolio grew because I was also doing facilities management. I have legacy projects that I have started and completed at the Compensation Fund, including creating a secure parking area for clients; as well as removing and upgrading the entire building's lifts, and escalators, from the ground floor to the fifth floor, which were worn out and actually declared unsafe — this entire project was run on time and on budget. But my envisaged legacy project is to get the online booking tool up and running for Treasury.
Q: If you could change one thing about the way corporate travel works, what it would it be?
A: It would be to remove the conflict between rendering the service and chasing commissions. For many suppliers in corporate travel, it is about chasing commissions or getting commissions, and that's the biggest drive. Service is secondary. For example, if a car-rental company wants to get business they will say to agencies: "if you give me business, I will give you this [commissions]". So they're chasing business by paying commissions. Travel agencies are using the business that they have to demand commissions. If I could change one thing it would be to scrap the issue of overrides, commissions etc, and say let travel business be a fair, clean business.
Q: How do you relax when you're not at work?
A: I'm actually a pastor. If I'm not with my family, I'm at work, and if I'm not at work I'm doing church stuff. To be honest the church is where I draw my strength. I serve my God and he gives me the strength to manage my family affairs and to do my work. A friend of mine asked me, "How do you manage this?" I told him, "You see it as additional work, but to me it's not." When I come back after church services I may take a nap. And then I wake up refreshed, ready, and on Monday I will hit work like nobody's business. The church is my place of winding down and relaxing.
Q: Do you travel much for work, and which destination is your favourite?
A: I travel a lot for work. Maybe it's because of the spiritual part of me, but places like Mpumalanga are my favourite. When I'm in Mpumalanga I'm more relaxed. I can move away from the busy city life, the noise and the confusion. When I am in Mpumalanga I can connect with nature. I can become quiet.
My daily life is living in hotels, being in the big cities, so to me if I take my family on a holiday to Cape Town it feels like I'm at work. But when I take them to the Kruger National Park, then I can actually breathe.

Cordran Lotion Uses
Cordran Lotion can help relieve itching and other symptoms of many skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis. This prescription medicine works by reducing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune system. It is not recommended to use Cordran Lotion for long periods of time, as doing so can increase the risk for serious side effects.
What Is Cordran Lotion Used For?Cordran® Lotion (flurandrenolide lotion) is a prescription skin medication approved to treat inflammation and itching due to a wide variety of conditions. Some of these conditions include but are not limited to:
- Contact dermatitis
- Eczema
- Psoriasis
- Poison ivy
- Seborrhea.
Specifically, Cordran Lotion is approved to treat any skin condition that is responsive to corticosteroids.
As with other steroids, long-term use should typically be avoided, due to the risk of serious side effects; however, Cordran Lotion is a relatively mild steroid, compared with many other steroid medications.
As a lotion, this medication is easy to apply and is less likely to leave greasy stains on clothing (compared to ointments). For people who do not prefer lotions, Cordran SP Cream and Cordran Tape are also available.
How Does This Medicine Work?Cordran Lotion is part of a group of medications known as glucocorticoids, which are a type of corticosteroid (or "steroid" for short). Although glucocorticoids have numerous effects in the body, they are used mostly for their anti-inflammatory or immune-suppressing properties. Cordran Lotion works by decreasing inflammation and suppressing an overactive immune system.
Is It Safe for Children to Use Cordran Lotion?This medication is not specifically approved for use in children. In addition, this drug is not approved to treat a diaper rash and should never be applied to the diaper area, as doing so can increase the risk for side effects. Children are at an increased risk for serious side effects of steroids, especially if the medication is kept covered (such as by a diaper).

Although it was a vicious cycle for many years, I've finally learned to stop making financial decisions based on emotions, which only represented heartache down the line for me regardless of how earth shattering it felt in the moment. As I carefully weighed the pro's and cons of the options considered for what to do with my refund (spend it all on a birthday gift for me, get a new garage door which I will need in the near future, spend it all on a birthday gift for me, get two new water efficient toilets for the home which will help save on the water bill and bring more value to my home long-term, spend it all on a birthday gift for me, make an extra payment on the mortgage to help pay my home off faster which speeds up the time frame of all other goals, or spend it all on a birthday gift for me, lol), I had a heart pounding bring out the horns and drop confetti everywhere moment! Maturity had emerged and blindsided me while I was looking the other way!
Receiving a tax refund is less exciting these days since realizing that meant I loaned the government too much money during the year and they are only returning what was already mine. However, what can I say, I still get a thrill when receiving unexpected money in the mail! The good news is that it is a lot less than what I normally receive which is a clear indicator that I'm headed in the right direction and I will continue to adjust my withholding until I get it right. I'm making progress in that area since I'm finally receiving less than $1,000 so ^5 (high-five) for me! My AHA moment was how different my thought process is since taking Financial Peace University for the first time eight years ago!
The beginning of each year (before learning to make better financial decisions) not only offered opportunities for growth, it also provided lessons on patience as it found me anxiously waiting at the mailbox each day for the mountain of paperwork (always arriving painfully slow!) required to file my taxes. The idea of having extra money to throw away on what I thought I deserved just for being an adult, was as provocative as an addict waiting for that first hit on their drug of choice after a lengthy absence. Thankfully I've matured since taking Financial Peace University! As Dave Ramsey says, "children do what feels good, adults devise a plan and follow it". After careful deliberation over the course of a few weeks, I'm pleased to say that my money is going to the toilet, but in a good way. I have finally broken the life-long pattern of spending without thinking and mastering that concept opened the doors to financial freedom! Nothing feels as good as being debt free!

We are happy to announce, at this time, that Oz. of Prevention has been
officially released. Early feedback is extremely positive. We have
received requests from a good number of companies, both current
customers and new leads, for the Oz. trial and users have already put it
through its paces.
In developing Oz. we have taken great pains to make sure that none of
the functionality of OOPS! was lost. Of course, Oz. has lots of new
features, like true multitasking; customizable "standard" reports; tax
calculations; unlimited parts, labor and tools on work orders; more
advanced purchasing and requisition; more advanced search capabilities;
more custom fields; enhanced graphics capabiliites and much more.
The development team chose DB2 as the Oz. database because of its
stability, reliability and performance and Oz. was designed specifically
to utilize OS/2's superior technology and built-in speech and
Oz. is being sold both as a turnkey system or "software only" system.
And, we haven't forgotten you, our loyal users. We have already
developed a module to import your OOPS! data. You would not have to
rebuild your data when you go with Oz. Although we are selling this
software to new customers for $6500, any OOPS! user who purchases Oz.
can deduct the price they paid for OOPS!
There is another advantage to Oz. There is only one version. If you are a
network user, we do not charge for additional users.* As you can see,
we are trying to make moving on to new technology as painless as
Up until now you have had little choice but to pick a Windows CMMS if
you were moving
away from DOS and weren't using a mainframe. There are lots of Windows
CMMSs out there, but very little else. These packages range from very
simple to very complicated and from fairly cheap to extremely expensive.
We've chosen a different route with our new CMMS Oz. Oz. is not
Windows, not Windows NT, not Windows 95, NOT Windows 98 and so it
doesn't come with any inherent Windows problems. We've been doing CMMS for 15 years and we think we know what you want. . . a nice simple, easy-to-use, powerful, flexible system that enables you to get your job done.
You don't want to have to put up with a slow, buggy system that crashes
and shuts down your computer. One that locks you into getting only
canned reports or one that once the data is entered it's "never to be
seen again." You know it is in there, but don't know how to get to it.
You just want to do your job and it is our feeling that the computer and
the CMMS you use should facilitate that rather than be just another
huge headache.
Some of our customers have told us that their computer gurus tell them
they won't support anything that isn't a Windows system. In answer to
that we want to assure you that we will provide ALL of the support for
Oz AND OS/2 should you decide to move up to our latest technology. The
Oz. system can be purchased as a turnkey system to run standalone or as
"software only."
Contrary to popular belief, Windows is not the only game in town and
its our goal to prove that the best CMMS is not a Windows-based system.
Don't rule out a great system just because it isn't Windows.
It is our policy that if support has lapsed, in order to reinstate it,
users must pay for the years since the lapse along with a reinstallation
fee. If you are unsure of your status, please call Nancy Creedon in
