DescriptionAdmiral Razorbeard and his gang of robot pirates have enslaved all the creatures in Rayman's world, including the peaceful Teensies and the Lums, which give life to the earth. Rayman has been captured by the pirates as well and is lamenting his troubles in his prison cell, when he meets his good friend, Globox. Globox has smuggled in a silver Lum, given to him by the great fairy, Ly. With the power of the silver Lum, Rayman is able to once more shoot his fists. With his power restored, the pair escape the flying prison ship and embark on another adventure to save the entire world!
Rayman 2: The Great Escape is the sequel to Rayman, a 2D side-scrolling platform game. Unlike the previous game, Rayman 2 is entirely in free-roaming 3D environments, similar to Super Mario 64. Rayman has many unique abilities that can help him get around the world. In addition to being able to shoot his fists, he can use his hair to hover like a helicopter, and even glide on air currents in certain places. He can climb certain walls and ceilings and can even use his fists to swing from special purple Lums which are shaped like rings. Rayman also has many unique items at his disposal, such as powder kegs which can be carried or fly like jets, strange warheads with legs that he can ride and steer like bucking mules, and gigantic plums that can be thrown into the water to create new paths.
Rayman's goal is to find the four masks of the world, which allow the owner to reawaken Polokus, the spirit of the world. These masks are scattered far and wide, and are well hidden and guarded, so it is not an easy task. By gathering the yellow Lums, Rayman will gain access to new worlds, which will take him to the locations of new masks. Collecting yellow Lums also rewards him with new powers and life meter extensions.

Character name changesThe names of a few characters changed during design of the game.
The original name of Globox was Globber. The original name of Razorbeard was Razorface. The original name of the Teensies was Smalbeings. The original name of Polokus was Polochus. And the robo-pirates were originally named the Mysterious Guild.
Development historyOriginally, during the early development of Rayman 2: The Great Escape, it was going to be a 2D side-scroller. However, because of the new and constant usage of 3D graphics in games of that era, the original 2D design was scrapped and Ubisoft decided to make their franchise 3D as well. Details and screenshots of the original prototype can be seen here.
ExtrasThe PSX release of Rayman 2 originally came with a digital watch.
Japanese versionIn Japan, purple is the colour of death. Because of that, some characters with purple in them were changed. Rayman's body was made blue, Sssssam the snake turned into a kind of green, and Jano's hat was turned red. But the most bizarre change was made to Ly, who's body was changed from orange/purple to white/pink.
ReferencesThe purple general who sells Razorbeard the Grolgoth is also featured in Tonic Trouble's opening cinematic.

A teacher in Wharton schools is accused of having sex with a student, according to the Wharton Independent School District Police Department.
Brooke Lynn Domel, 32, has been charged with felony improper relationship between an educator and a student, a second-degree felony, investigators said. She was arrested on July 1 and released on bond the following day, police said.
Domel allegedly had sex in 2012 with the male student, who graduated this year from Wharton High School, according to Wharton ISD police.
Domel, who has a young son and daughter, has been placed on administrative leave since her arrest.
In a written statement, Wharton ISD Superintendent Kay Shoppa said the school district "takes these allegations very seriously and does not tolerate the type of conduct alleged.
"Student safety remains the number one priority in this school system," Shoppa stated. "To that end, the District is cooperating with the authorities and will take any and all corrective action it deems necessary as a result of the investigation."

2011 LA Roadsters Show - The Same But Different
The L.A. Roadsters club show has long been a staple for many SoCal hot rodders over the Father's Day weekend, this year seeing the 47th such event. While it changed venues a couple of times as it grew in the early days, the show has been held at the Fairplex on the L.A. County Fairgrounds since 1980, with few changes over the past 21 years. This year, however, saw some major changes to the event.
While the venue remained the same, the layout was substantially different, caused in part by some structural changes to the facility. The old covered area where the 200-plus vendors had previously set up had been torn down since last year's show, and the vendors relocated inside Building 4, which is also used as the main building at the Grand National Roadster Show every January. With the main part of the show, that for finished pre-'36 roadsters, also relocated to the inner fairgrounds, the whole vibe of the show was altered, along with the layout.
No longer did visitors have to enter through the preferred parking and swap meet areas, making these sections quieter than in years past, but the event seemed to be divided distinctly into two halves. Speaking of the swap meet, and this scribe will readily admit to spending more time there than elsewhere over the weekend; it was one of the best ever, or was that just because I managed to get everything I wanted, and more? Whether the economy can be blamed or not I'm not sure, but prices, for the most part, ranged from reasonable to cheap!
It's hard to write about this year's show without coming back to the new layout, but it remains a must-attend event, not just for the sheer quality and numbers of cars in attendance, but for the chance to check out the vendor booths, the cacklefest (performed twice on the Saturday), the superb swap meet, and the open house events held at local rod shops on the preceding days. An action-packed weekend at the core of hot rodding's Mecca for sure

LAST SEASON: 35-36-11, 81 points.
COACH: Mike Yeo, 2nd season, 35-36-11.
ADDED: LW Zach Parise, D Ryan Suter, C Mikael Granlund, LW Torrey Mitchell, C Zenon Konopka, C Jake Dowell.
LOST: LW Guillaume Latendresse, RW Nick Johnson, LW Warren Peters, RW Jed Ortmeyer, D Mike Lundin, C Erik Christensen, D Kurtis Foster.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Parise and Suter are the headliners, their identical 13-year, $98 million contracts serving as July 4 fireworks over the NHL free agent market, but the Finnish sensation Granlund is being given a spot on the second line before his 21st birthday. The ninth overall pick in the 2010 draft is so popular in his home country that paparazzi follow him around town. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound, slick-with-the-stick scorer spent the lockout playing for the Wild's AHL affiliate. He had 20 goals and 31 assists in 45 games last season for his club in Helsinki.
OUTLOOK: The Wild had the league's best record at 20-7-3 at the 30-game mark but nosedived down the stretch under the weight of myriad injuries. After signing Parise, bringing Granlund over and getting Pierre-Marc Bouchard back from another lengthy concussion absence, the Wild have unquestionably the deepest and most talented group of forwards in the franchise's 13-year history. Staying healthy in a fast-paced condensed season will be critical, of course, but the key to making the playoffs for the first time in five years is on the blue line, where veterans Suter and Tom Gilbert will need help from young players like Jared Spurgeon, Clayton Stoner and Marco Scandella.
LAST SEASON: 45-26-11, 101 points. Lost to Phoenix 4-2 in first round.
COACH: Joel Quenneville, 5th season with Blackhawks, 186-99-39; 16th overall, 624-382-157 in NHL.
ADDED: D Michal Rozsival, D Sheldon Brookbank.
LOST: F Andrew Brunette, F Brendan Morrison, D Sean O'Donnell
PLAYER TO WATCH: G Corey Crawford
OUTLOOK: Other than Rozsival and Brookbank, who each signed as free agents, there has been little turnover from last season. The Blackhawks have continuity going for them. Question is: Can they make a playoff run? It's been back-to-back first-round exits since they captured the Stanley Cup, and the Blackhawks are looking for more. Crawford's play will go a long way toward determining that, and he's coming off a shaky season in which he didn't post a shutout and let in two soft overtime goals in the playoffs.

In Jesus Christ the reality of God has entered into the reality of this world. The place where the questions about the reality of God and about the reality of the world are answered at the same time is characterized solely by the name: Jesus Christ. God and the world are enclosed in this name ... we cannot speak rightly of either God or the world without speaking of Jesus Christ. All concepts of reality that ignore Jesus Christ are abstractions.

IN LAUNCHING a new school literacy program Prime Minister Julia Gillard appears to have committed a statistical howler.
Declaring that about 75,000 students failed to meet national minimum standards in the NAPLAN test last year she said, ''without improvement that number could climb to more than 150,000 by 2025''.
The doubling is the result of extrapolating forward the change over one year for 13 years. In the words of her education minister's office: ''The calculation is a Commonwealth analysis based on year 3 NAPLAN data and assumes the change seen between 2011 and 2012 continues out to 2025.''
Extending forward only the most recent change in a statistic is widely regarded as bad practice, likely to produce nonsense.
''One change does not a trend make,'' said Deloitte Access director Chris Richardson, a former treasury economist.
If for example the Commonwealth had extended forward only the most recent change in employment [between December and January] it would have looked as if employment was on track to climb 124,800 in the coming year. But if it had extended forward the previous change [between November and December] employment would have looked on track to slide 45,600.
''It's good practice to use all of the comparable data, not just one change,'' Mr Richardson said. ''The trend is your friend. To construct it you should use all the comparable data.''
NAPLAN data going back to 2008 show reading, spelling and grammar on an improving trend. The proportion of year 3 students failing to meet minimum reading standards fell from 7.9 per cent to 6.5 per cent. The proportion failing to meet minimum spelling standards fell from 7.5 to 6 per cent.
''We will make this reading blitz one of the aims of our school funding reforms,'' Ms Gillard told parents and children gathered for the launch at her residence in Canberra. ''We want to make sure that every child is assessed, every child's strengths and weaknesses on reading are known and every child gets the opportunity to become a great reader.''
The federal government will ask all schools, state and private, to sign up to an intensive four-year program in which teachers from kindergarten to year 3 maintain a running record of each student and set out a reading plan which includes sounding out words as one of the teaching methods. No specific funding is allocated.
State education ministers welcomed it saying it was along the same lines as work they were doing themselves.
Victorian Education Minister Martin Dixon said: ''Obviously any new idea will need to be consistent with Victoria's nation-leading commitment to early years literacy and numeracy. ''It should also be noted that in Victoria's long experience, 'blitzes' are never a substitute for long-term implementation.''
NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli said: ''Our Early Action for Success strategy will see an additional 900 teachers employed. The first 50 literacy and numeracy specialists have already been placed.''

Black Eyes by Talk Less Say More
Album Description
37 minutes of postmodern pop perfection. England Without Rain bursts with vitality, oozing with surreal mirages and sultry pleasures, yearning for the release of a storm. Joy, sadness and frustration embodied in shimmering guzheng, exuberant synths, thumping Kompakt beats and Fleetwood Mac guitar duels.
This sonic invention is matched by subtle, affective lyrics. There's a real sense of embodiment here: music, love and memory lingering in bone and muscle. "The churn at the base of my chest/a body never forgets", sings Jennings on 'Love Is A Vortex'; whilst in 'Atlantic' "the moments in our throat/became real and made us choke". There are moments of wry humour too: Glockenspiel captures the obsession required to make a record like this, with Jennings wondering if he'll "buy a box of wine/and stay in with my glockenspiels?".
Over the last few years artists such as Hot Chip, WhoMadeWho and Kanye West have shown what electronic pop can do. It's testament to the brilliance of England Without Rain that we can mention it alongside them. A grand statement, perhaps – but this is a grand record.

Sometimes, the best laid plans go awry. I've been preparing for the past few days for an interview with Carl Liebert, CEO of 24 Hour Fitness. The interview will appear in a shortened version in our August issue as our Executive Insights column and in its longer version on our Web site. I'm also hoping that Liebert will agree to allow me to use the tape of the interview as our second ever podcast (the first was with Geoff Dyer of Lifestyle Family Fitness and should be available on our Web site in a few days).
Unfortunately, Liebert's schedule was so full today that he could only give me 15 minutes. Understandable, since the man is in charge of the largest club company in our country. So, rather than shorten my list of questions and cheat the readers of all the valuable information that a longer interview would reveal, I asked to move the interview to another day when he could schedule more time for it. With the help of their able PR person, Wendy Yellin, and Liebert's assistant, I was able to reschedule for next week.
I already have a substantial list of questions for him, but if you have questions you're dying to ask of Liebert, feel free to send them my way. If there's time, I'll ask him a few. -Pam

When was the last time you had to deal with deal with a major life change? For many of us, disruption to familiar routine sparks anything from mild anxiety to extreme terror. (Did you hear that knitting might help ease those frazzled feelings?!) Maybe something's been pushed on us, like being downsized or getting sick. Just as likely, we've made a risky but necessary choice, like relocating to a new town or having our elderly parents move in with us.
Shift happens, like it or not—that's part of the human adventure. Then why do we resist so much? It's partly a natural fear of the unfamiliar. "People think of change as something dangerous," says Auriela McCarthy, author of The Power of the Possible. "But it helps to remember all the ways your life has been altered in the past and realize that not only did you not keel over and die, things often turned out for the better."
Turns out, the big secret to stay balanced during major life transitions is to go with the flow. Fighting what's happening just leads to frustration and keeps you from growing to your full potential. "When you try to put your life in a box and keep it the same all the time, you're making something dead out of it," says Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., coauthor of Saying Yes to Change. Welcoming new things can even be good for your health. "People who greet what life offers with curiosity have stronger immune systems and live longer," Borysenko adds.
So how do you push past the reluctance and fear? The first step is realizing that even though you can't control what pops up in your life, you can alter how you react. "When change happens, say yes. Learn and grow from it," says Borysenko. Taking a live-in-the-moment attitude will help keep you from miring yourself in what-ifs and should-haves. Another attitude booster: Think about people you respect and love who have faced difficulties head-on and come out stronger for it. Reflecting on their success will open you to the idea that new possibilities lie ahead for you, too.
The most important thing to remember, though, is that you already have the mental and emotional resources to make the most out of anything that comes your way. Bring out your natural resiliency by mastering how to deal with major life changes, such as these six super-common ones.
Getting a New Boss
Even if you weren't that crazy about your old manager, at least you were familiar with her style. A newcomer might be more demanding, less open to ideas, or even have a leadership style so alien that your job performance is affected.
How to Make the Most of This Major Life Transition: Schedule a meeting with your supervisor shortly after her first day. "Ask, 'What are your expectations? What are the areas that are important to you?'" says Joel Garfinkle, a career coach based in California. "If you're working right away on things the boss cares about, you have a better chance of earning her respect."
Instant sanity-saver: Keep your resume polished and make it a priority to reach out to all your business contacts, just in case your boss's strategic plan includes making staff cuts.

Moving to a Different Town
Adjusting to a new house and finding schools, doctors, and stores—not to mention friends—is time-consuming, but it's the emotional tumult of a move that's the real stressor. "We don't realize just how much of our identity is tied up in where we live," says Cathy Goodwin, Ph.D., a relocation expert from Seattle and author of Making the Big Move.
How to Make the Most of This Major Life Transition: Look at the move as an adventure requiring research. "Wherever you go, ask strangers to tell you what they love about the area to get clues about where you can start putting down your own roots," says Goodwin. Several years ago, Rebecca Bell Sorensen had to move unexpectedly from New York to Minneapolis when her husband took a new job. By pushing herself to talk to people, Rebecca quickly learned what the city had to offer. "The 'discovery' attitude definitely worked for me," she says.
Instant sanity-saver: Take a short-term class instead of committing to a particular social group, and as you try to stay balanced during major life transitions, don't try to become immediate best friends with everyone you meet. Each day, look for little sources of simple comfort, like a bakery that makes the same kind of croissants you loved back home or a hobby you enjoy in your spare time. (Score more wise "me time" strategies.)
Getting a Divorce
Even if you initiated the split, or totally agreed to it, the reality can sometimes feel like you've lost a limb. Habits and daily routines once dictated or influenced by another adult are now up for grabs. "After my first marriage ended, I felt like I was suddenly living in a vacuum," says McCarthy, who was inspired to write her book when she realized how much her resistance to new things had tainted not only her marriage, but also other relationships.
How to Make the Most of This Major Life Transition: Refuse to let fear or anger dominate you. "If you're caught up in being a victim, you can't gain any kind of wisdom or take responsibility for creating your best life, because part of you is still locked in the past," says Borysenko. "Once you realize you have no choice but to change, many interesting things can start to happen." Now's the right time to lean on your support group as you overcome this major life transition—even if you have to invent one first. "I made a list of all the people I could call and get together with," says McCarthy. "I felt stronger and safer knowing I had lots of people I could turn to."
Instant sanity-saver: Exploit your new freedom. Try things you've always wanted to do but couldn't or didn't get around to while you were married. Sign up for a painting class, join a hiking club, or audition for a community theater production.
Dealing with a Serious Illness
Just getting the flu for a week is disorienting enough. But when big health problems strike, you realize how vulnerable you are and the future no longer seems so certain. When Teme Ring developed chronic fatigue syndrome, her law career was sidelined. Many days, Ring was so exhausted she could barely get out of bed, and she had to cut back on most of the activities she enjoyed with her two sons. "I went from feeling like a Super Mom to feeling like a Pooper Mom," Ring says.
How to Make the Most of This Major Life Transition: Give yourself time to grieve. "We can't move on until we honor what's gone," says Borysenko. "You can't jump past the fact that you've lost your sense of invincibility." It's okay to cry and rage; bottled-up emotions will only break through later on, usually at awkward times in embarrassing ways.
Instant sanity-saver: Cliched as it sounds, laughter is wonderful medicine as you figure out how to cope with major life changes. To keep herself in high spirits, Ring read books by writers like Dave Barry and watched old Saturday Night Live sketches and variety shows on cable. Embracing her love for the stage, she even took a stand-up comedy class, which taught her more about the power of seeing the bright side. "As often as possible, I ask myself, 'What's funny about this?'" she says. "I'm not always able to find something, but when I can, it builds my strength for the times I can't."
Caring for Elderly Parents
When one or both parents become dependent, you have to take on heavy responsibilities, from assessing their daily needs to managing their money. If you opt to care for a parent at home, it's a stressful, round-the-clock job; if you choose a care facility, you may feel guilty. The emotional impact of the role-reversal is devastating too: You're no longer the little girl relying on her mom and dad for comfort.
How to Make the Most of This Major Life Transition: Surround yourself with as much professional and personal support as possible to stay balanced during this major life transition. Monica Corton, whose elderly parents live miles from her New York City home, hired a care manager who advises her on major decisions about her parents, and a team of nurses, therapists, and aides for the daily tasks. Then, says Monica, "I just keep moving forward, telling myself I'm doing the best I can and that there's no point in second-guessing myself." But while you're eliminating guilt, you do need to acknowledge your sadness, says Alexis Abramson, author of The Caregivers' Survival Handbook. The best antidote? "Focus on being grateful for the time you have with your parents, even though it's sometimes difficult," she advises.
Instant sanity-saver: Forget about being a martyr. "Get plenty of rest, make time for some exercise (we love these at-home workout apps), and avoid self-medicating with junk food," says Abramson. "In addition, don't neglect your other important relationships any more than you absolutely have to."
Switching Jobs
As exciting as it is to launch a fresh career—especially if you were eager to leave your old one—it's still easy to feel that new-kid insecurity and worry that you might not be up to the challenge. "The first 90 days of a job can be very intense," says Garfinkle. "New hires feel they have to learn everything instantly."
How to Make the Most of This Major Life Transition: Boost your self-confidence and gain a reputation as a smart worker by tackling small projects that can be done easily and well. Start building relationships with colleagues you like and think you can trust. And count on the fact that you'll feel more comfortable and competent after that initial three-month trial period.
Instant sanity-saver: Write down your feelings without stopping to edit them, then put the paper away. After three days, go back and read it, jot down anything that's changed, and put it away again. Three days later, reread the paper—then shred it. "That sends your subconscious mind the powerful message that you're adapting and moving on," says McCarthy.
4 Helpful Traits for Any Transition
These qualities prepare you to overcome major life transitions and any challenges life throws your way.
- Flexibility: Being open to trying different things will help bring you out of the past so you're able to embrace new possibilities.
- Presence: If you stay in the moment, focusing on your immediate needs and feelings, you won't get overwhelmed.
- Gratitude: You have many blessings, big and small. Count them; better yet, write them down—often.
Acceptance: There may be no way to prevent a boss from firing you or to keep a family member from getting sick, but you can choose your own actions and attitudes. Acknowledge what you can and can't control.

Safety and immunogenicity of hepatitis B vaccine ButaNG in adults
Luzia M. IOSHIMOTO(1), Maria Lúcia RISSATO(2), Valentina S.J. BONILHA(2), Cosue MIYAKI(1), Isaias RAW(3) & Nikolai GRANOVSKI(4)
Recombinant yeast-derived hepatitis B vaccine manufactured by Instituto Butantan was administered in two groups of adult volunteers (I, II) following two different schedules of immunization. In the first trial (10 mg doses and 0, 1, 3 months vaccination schedule) 106 individuals completed the full immunization program. The results of seroconversion by age group varied from 70 to 100% and the GMT from 46.5 to 124.9 mIU mL-1. In the second trial with 68 individuals (for dosage comparison and 0, 1, 6 months vaccination schedule) indicated that the vaccine formulated in 20 mg was more effective than in 10 mg. The adverse reactions observed in the vaccinees were less frequent than the ones previously found since the introduction of similar vaccines.
KEYWORDS: Hepatitis B vaccine; Clinical trials.
Hepatitis B is an extremely serious disease parenterally/sexually transmitted, representing the 9th cause of morbidity and mortality in the planet. The infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) leads to a variety of clinical manifestations: fulminant, acute, chronic and inapparent. Fulminant and acute forms are severe and cause of high mortality. Chronic hepatitis is the form responsible for virus spreading and can potentially progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer. When the infection occurs in early age (newborns to 1 year) the evolution to a chronic state is about 90%, decreasing with the age4. More than one million chronic carriers die every year13. The HBV is spread in Brazil in regions of low, medium and high prevalence: in the South the incidence is about 0.3 to 1.7%, in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro from 1.0 to 2.1% and in the Amazon region from 2.8 to 10.3% of the population3.
Prevention by vaccination is the only effective strategy to avoid the disease. Since 1987 two licensed yeast derived recombinant vaccines containing the major hepatitis virus surface protein (S-protein, HBsAg) were available, manufactured by Merck Sharp Dohme (USA) and Smith Kline Beecham (Belgium) and they are still leading the market of HB vaccine6. Evaluation made by FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recognized the safety of hepatitis B vaccine based on 12 millions doses administered to babies up to 12 months age8. Tiredness, erythema and soreness in the local of injection are the most common side effects observed mostly concerned to the aluminum hydroxide present in formulated product as vaccine adjuvant. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended the vaccination as the only practical means to reduce the HBV incidence in the USA9. In China there was a drastic reduction of 60% of new cases due to the application of an immunization program for newborns10.
The Instituto Butantan in São Paulo (Brazil) produces a recombinant yeast-derived Hepatitis B vaccine (ButaNG) by technology developed in cooperation with N.G. Biotecnologia Ltda. The vaccine is manufactured and quality controlled following the requirements established by World Health Organization and belongs to the new generation of safe vaccines. The vaccine contains highly purified recombinant HBsAg particles produced in yeast Hansenula polymorpha and formulated in aluminum hydroxide. Initially ButaNG was formulated in adult dose containing 10 mg of HBsAg, based on results of mice immunization experiments utilizing simultaneously Engerix B vaccine as a reference. Engerix was selected due to its well known efficacy. The vaccination followed the schedules approved by FDA of 0, 1, 6 and 0, 1, 3 and 12 months.
The Instituto Butantan is ready to supply the national vaccine demand for a mass immunization program estimated to be around 30 millions annual doses.
Vaccines: ButaNG lots: 9709141 (10 mg protein, 0.25 mg Al+++/dose); 9710151 (10 mg protein, 0.25 mg Al+++/dose); 9710154 (20 mg protein, 0.25 mg Al+++/dose)
Engerix B lots: 2202A4, 2243A4 and 2272B4 (20 mg protein, 0.50 mg Al+++/dose)
ButaNG vaccine was initially formulated in aluminum hydroxide in doses of 10 mg/mL based on the comparative results obtained when ButaNG and Engerix B (used as reference vaccine) were injected in BALB/c mice. Doses of 0.5 mg of protein per animal were inoculated in groups of 20 mice, in a single shot. Blood samples collected 30 days after inoculations were analyzed by ELISA kits (AUSAB-EIA, Abbott Lab.). The results are presented in Table 1.
Table 1
Comparative potency of different lots of ButaNG and reference vaccine, in BALB/c mice
The volunteers (18-57 years) were recruited from the Hospitals staff of Fundação Amaral Carvalho, Jaú-SP. The criteria for selection was restricted to the absence of any serological HBV markers assayed by Abbott Lab. kits (Corzyme, Auszyme, Ausab) or to serious health problems.
The reactogenicity was observed after each dose when the patients were inquired for abnormalities such as: injection site pain, headache, fever, fatigue, influenza like symptoms, diarrhea and others.
Study design
The first trial with group I started with 180 individuals aged 18-57 years. They were injected intramuscularly in the deltoid region with 10 mg of ButaNG lot 9709141, amount of protein estimated by the results obtained with mice experiments (Table 1). The schedule of immunization was 0, 1, 3 months.
Based on the results of immunogenicity obtained for group I of vaccinees, a second trial in group II of 68 individuals aged 18-50 years was initiated. This group was homogeneously subdivided in: A, B, C, D subgroups, considering the age, sex and factor weight/height and vaccinated with ButaNG 9709141, 9710151, 9710154 and Engerix B 2243A4, respectively. They were injected in the deltoid muscle following the normal recommended schedule of 0, 1, 6 months.
Blood specimens were collected from volunteers before the first injection and evaluated to be negative for the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibodies to core antigen (anti-HBc) and to HBsAg (anti-HBs). Samples collected from vaccinees one month after receiving the third shot were tested for anti-HBs. Antibodies were measured in GMT (geometric mean titer) expressed in mIU mL-1. All blood specimens were tested following the instructions of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (AUSAB-EIA, Abbott Lab.).
Seroconversion was defined as antibody GMT ³ 2.1 mIU mL-1 and seroprotection as ³ 10 mIU mL-1.
Short term adverse reaction data reported by individuals from group I after receiving the first shot were injection site soreness (21.7%) sometimes accompanied by erythema, fatigue or headache (4.3%) and low fever (1.6%). Reactions were less frequent with subsequent doses. The symptoms, mainly the arm soreness were less frequent than the ones reported regarding recombinant hepatitis B vaccines1,12. Adverse reactions reported by group II were basically arm soreness in 30% of vaccinees after receiving the first dose of Engerix B and in 20% of individuals who received ButaNG. The less frequent reactions observed can be attributed to the low concentration of aluminum present in the formulation of ButaNG.
The immune response to ButaNG 9709141 in the 106 individuals of group I is shown in Table 2 divided by age groups. The seroconversion decreased with age and the GMT was significantly lower after the age 35. A lower anti-HBs GMT than those found for similar vaccines was expected due to the short schedule of immunization utilized2,5,7. Previous published data showed that intervals of 5 to 10 months between the second and third doses maximized the antibody response11. In this group the highest titer was 1597 mIU mL-1. For the seronegative individuals or to those who showed GMT under 10 mIU mL-1 (protective level) a booster in the 12 month was recommended.

*Serum anti-HBs levels measured with ELISA kits (Ausab EIA-Abbott Lab.).in GMT (geometric mean titer).
10 mIU mL-1, protective antibody level.
As the immune response to 10 mg of HBsAg did not confirm the enhanced immunogenicity observed in mice experiments (Table 1), it directed us to use a second study design in order to determine some suspected reasons: lower concentration of antigen and aluminum than those used in the formulation of similar vaccines and shorter schedule of immunization usually applied to individuals under risk of infection.
The 68 subjects aged 18-50 were distributed in subgroups A, B, C, D and vaccinated with different vaccine lots, doses and with reference vaccine by the schedule of 0, 1 and 6 months. Figure 1 shows the comparative potency of vaccines ButaNG formulated in doses of 10 and 20 mg with Engerix B in dose of 20 mg. The difference between the GMTs determined for 10 and 20 mg doses shows that the antigen concentration in the vaccine has to be increased and tested in bigger population. The highest titer detected in mIU mL-1/the standard deviation (std.dv.) for subgroups A, B, C and D were 540/141, 646/244, 560/190 and 597/191, respectively.
Fig. 1 - Comparative potency in group II of different lots and doses in terms of anti-HBs GMT (o) and seroconversion (n).
The clinical trials with ButaNG vaccine was considered satisfactory in terms of low rate of reactogenicity, absence of any incapacitating side effects, seroconversion equivalent to similar vaccines and induction of protective levels of antibodies. The response to 20 mg ButaNG (GMT 203 mIU mL-1) is superior than the titer considered as high protective level (100 mIU mL-1).
The vaccine has the potency to have its efficacy improved by optimizing the formulation by the introduction of different adjuvants or simply by adjusting the concentration of all vaccine components.
Inocuidade e imunogenicidade da vacina contra a hepatite B, ButaNG, em adultos
Vacina contra a hepatite B, produzida no Instituto Butantan em levedura recombinante, foi administrada em dois grupos de voluntários adultos (I e II) seguindo dois esquemas diferentes de imunização. No primeiro ensaio (doses de 10 mg e esquema de vacinação de 0, 1, 3 meses), 106 indivíduos completaram o programa de imunização proposto. Os resultados de soroconversão agrupados por faixa etária variaram de 70 a 100%, enquanto que o TGM foi de 46,5 a 124 mUI mL-1. No segundo ensaio com 68 indivíduos (comparação de doses e esquema de vacinação de 0, 1, 6 meses) os resultados indicaram que a vacina formulada em dose de 20 mg foi mais eficaz que em dose de 10 mg. Os efeitos adversos observados nos vacinados foram menores do que os relatados por outros autores, desde o início da aplicação de vacinas similares.

Tahoe Production House earns international award
Tahoe Production House recently won an award for excellence in web-based video production from the international AVA Digital Awards 2013 competition.
The competition recognizes outstanding achievement in the concept, direction, design and production of digital media, a press release stated.
The South Lake Tahoe video production company was awarded a Gold Award in the category of web-based government video that exceeds the high standards of industry norms. The video that garnered the "Gold Award" for Tahoe Production House was produced for the City of South Lake Tahoe and was an educational piece targeted to South Lake Tahoe Vacation Rental Homeowners. It covered pertinent information about vacation home rental regulations such as the Transient Occupancy Tax and The Vacation Home Rental Ordinance.
"The challenge we faced when creating this video was how to take very dry, legalistic information and deliver it in an engaging manner," Tahoe Production House owner and producer Brandi Brown stated in the release. "We decided to try to break the mold of the typical "government / PSA" video. Our concept was to have a little fun, without taking away from the serious content of information being communicated. Ultimately, the concept was to recreate a throwback 1950s training video that was so prevalent in that era. We even shot the video in black and white and styled the talent and sets in with a nod to the 1950s. Given the breadth of information in this video, I believe we success in creating a more engaging piece than if we had followed the convention of a video relying on text and bullet points to deliver the same information. We were thrilled to be honored by the international AVA Digital Awards."
To view the video, visit the city of South Lake Tahoe's YouTube page. For more information, visit http://www.tahoeproductionhouse.com.

Effective date: April 1st, 2015
Edmodo Spotlight ("Spotlight") is a place where Edmodo's users can obtain educational resources that will help teachers teach and students learn. It is also a place where you can make your own content and resources available for Edmodo users to access and use. Here are the rules if you want to make your educational resources available through Spotlight (the "Spotlight Content Provider Terms"); there are separate rules for Edmodo users accessing your content (the "Spotlight User Terms").
You may be a Spotlight content provider ("Content Provider") and offer digital downloads ("Teaching Content") through Spotlight only if you (a) have an Edmodo account and (b) are at least eighteen (18) years old.
Teaching Content is subject to Edmodo's approval. Your Teaching Content may be rejected or removed from Spotlight at any time, in Edmodo's sole discretion, including, but not limited to, if it fails to meet Edmodo's standards of educational quality or if it contains inappropriate material or your conduct is inconsistent with Spotlight or these Terms. Teaching Content must be provided in one of the file formats accepted at the time of upload (which may be subject to change without notice). Each item of Teaching Content made available on Spotlight must be contained completely within the download offered, and no part of such Teaching Content may be delivered separately or require an additional purchase, including without limitation, through sites or services not offered by or via Edmodo.
You acknowledge and agree that you, not Edmodo, are the merchant of record of your Teaching Content, and Edmodo's activities hereunder are undertaken solely to assist you in facilitating the distribution of such Teaching Content.
Pricing and Payments.
You have sole discretion whether to offer your Teaching Content for free, or for a fee. If you decide to charge a fee for accessing your Teaching Content, you must set that fee using your Spotlight provider account. You may change your prices whenever you want through your Edmodo Spotlight Provider account (provided no price changes shall apply retroactively). The price you set must at all times be greater than the minimum amount per item set by Edmodo, which will be determined by Edmodo in its sole discretion. All prices must be set in U.S. Dollars.
You have the option to be part of Edmodo's dynamic pricing program (the "Dynamic Pricing Program"). You will be given an opportunity to be part of that program when you upload each item of Teaching Content and select the minimum price that you would like to charge for a user to access that item. If you choose to participate in this program, you will still have sole discretion as to the minimum price at which you are willing to sell that item. The only difference is that by participating in this program, you agree to allow Edmodo to decrease or increase the price you have selected whenever and as Edmodo deems it appropriate; Edmodo will thus have sole and final discretion over the price at which the item is ultimately offered to an Edmodo user. Regardless of the price that Edmodo chooses, you will always receive a Revenue Share (as defined below) that is at least as much as the Revenue Share based on the minimum price that you selected. In other words, if you select a fee of $3.00 for an item, and Edmodo decides that the item should be sold to an Edmodo user for $2.50, your Revenue Share will still be based on a price of $3.00; conversely, if Edmodo decides that the price for the item should be $3.50, you will then receive a Revenue Share based on a fee of $3.50 for the item. The purpose of this program is to enable as many of Edmodo's users as possible to obtain access to your Teaching Content and to maximize the amount of compensation for your work in creating the Teaching Content.
If you offer Teaching Content for a fee, you may not attempt to circumvent the Edmodo payment system by soliciting payment from a user outside Spotlight. You agree to notify Edmodo immediately if you receive any such offer or solicitation.
Edmodo will allow for the download of the Teaching Content you make available on Spotlight and does not place any restrictions on use of the Teaching Content except to the limited extent set forth in Edmodo's Terms of Service and the Spotlight User Terms. If you wish to bind users to any additional license terms, we may provide you with the option explicitly to state such terms in the listing for the applicable Teaching Content, provided such terms must be no less protective of Edmodo than those herein, must afford users at least the rights described below, and must not be inconsistent with these Terms of Service or Edmodo's general Terms of Service. For sake of clarity, any such license must allow a user who downloads the Teaching Content to use and exploit the Teaching Content in connection with any class, course, or lessons taught by that user. All Teaching Content licenses must also be non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and royalty-free. You understand that while Edmodo's Terms of Service and the Spotlight User Terms place certain restrictions on Edmodo users' use of the Teaching Content—for example, users cannot purchase your Teaching Content and share it with anyone other than their students—neither such users nor Edmodo can control students' use of the Teaching Content, nor can Edmodo control Edmodo users' use of the Teaching Content. You are not a third party beneficiary of Edmodo's Terms of Service or the Spotlight User Terms that are applicable to users of Spotlight, and you have no right to enforce those terms or to require Edmodo to enforce such terms. You acknowledge that you have read the Edmodo Terms of Service and the Spotlight User Terms and understand the rights and obligations such terms place on each Edmodo user in connection with your Teaching Content. You understand that if you do not place any additional license restrictions on your Teaching Content, the only restrictions on the use of your Teaching Content by Edmodo users are those set forth in Edmodo's Terms of Service and the Spotlight User Terms, which, for clarity, may only be enforced by Edmodo.
Shipping, Handling, and Processing Charges. In the case of physical Teaching Content, you may charge a fee for shipping, handling, and processing of the physical materials that you sell, either by including the shipping, handling, and processing method and charges in the sale price of the item, or by charging a separate flat rate for shipping, handling, and processing of all items sold.
If you charge a fee for your Teaching Content, Edmodo will collect and process payment information from purchasers of your Teaching Content. Edmodo will not charge you for the processing or transaction fee that Edmodo incurs in connection with each purchase of your Teaching Content, but Edmodo reserves the right to change that policy and to pass on those charges to you; Edmodo will provide you with advance notice of any such change were it to be made, and such change would only apply to future transactions. To the extent applicable to you, you shall bear and be responsible for any and all applicable federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, duties, tariffs, levies, withholdings, and similar assessments (including without limitation, sales, use, and value added taxes) relating to the subject matter hereunder, excluding taxes based on Edmodo's income. Edmodo may provide you with certain limited geographic information regarding Edmodo users, in order to assist you in determining your tax liability; however, Edmodo is under no obligation to do so, and makes no representations, warranties, or covenants regarding the accuracy or verifiability of such information.
Edmodo will notify you of each purchase of your Teaching Content via email after the payment information has been verified and Edmodo has received payment. In the case of physical Teaching Content, Edmodo will also provide you with the shipping address and any other information required for you to fulfill the order, and you agree that upon notification of a sale, you will promptly ship the physical Teaching Content sold by you, in accordance with any representations you made in connection with such Teaching Content, including the pricing and shipping terms for such Teaching Content and all applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations, and/or industry standards. You are not authorized to ship to any address other than that which Edmodo provides to you; if a user asks you to ship the Teaching Content to a different address, please notify Edmodo promptly.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2, within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement, Edmodo will calculate the Net Revenue or Dynamic Net Revenue (as defined below) for Teaching Content purchased during such calendar month and remit such amounts, less the Revenue Share (as defined below), to you, on a monthly basis. Any payments made to you will be made in U.S. Dollars. "Net Revenue" shall mean amounts actually received by Edmodo from Edmodo users for their download of the Teaching Content through Spotlight, including any shipping or handling charges, less (i) sales taxes, use taxes, withholding taxes, VAT and any other taxes, duties or other government tariffs that a governmental authority requires Edmodo or you to pay with respect to the subject matter hereunder and/or that you have failed to pay in accordance with Section 2(c) above (excluding taxes on Edmodo's net income), and (ii) any disputes and refunds. If you have decided to participate in the Dynamic Pricing Program, "Dynamic Net Revenue" shall mean the greater of either the amounts actually received by Edmodo from Edmodo users for their download of the Teaching Content through Spotlight, including any shipping or handling charges, or the amounts that Edmodo would have received from Edmodo users had Edmodo not decreased the price per item you selected, less (i) sales taxes, use taxes, withholding taxes, VAT and any other taxes, duties or other government tariffs that a governmental authority requires Edmodo or you to pay with respect to the subject matter hereunder and/or that you have failed to pay in accordance with Section 2(c) above (excluding taxes on Edmodo's net income), and (ii) any disputes and refunds. For purposes of this Agreement, "Revenue Share" shall mean thirty percent (30%) share of Net Revenue or Dynamic Net Revenue, respectively.
Purchases of items via Spotlight are non-refundable. Edmodo reserves the right, however, to provide a refund to a user in certain circumstances where Edmodo determines, in its sole discretion, that a refund is appropriate. If Edmodo elects to issue a refund to a buyer, the amount refunded will be deducted from your next monthly payment. If your next payment is less than the refund amount, Edmodo may charge such refund amount to your credit card, PayPal account, or other payment processor account.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Edmodo reserves the right to withhold any payment to you if the total amount owed to you is less than ten USD ($10) (the "Minimum Threshold"). If amounts payable to you hereunder with respect to a given calendar month fail to meet the Minimum Threshold, such amounts will be paid to you in connection with the next calendar month during which the Minimum Threshold is met
Communication with Edmodo Users
You are responsible for handling all inquiries from Edmodo users concerning your Teaching Content, including inquiries regarding the quality or appropriateness of your Teaching Content. To that end, you must: (a) provide Edmodo with a current email address to which Edmodo may direct inquiries from Edmodo users regarding your Teaching Content; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to and resolve any such inquiries promptly. Edmodo retains the right, but does not have the obligation, to immediately prevent or restrict your access to Spotlight, or to take any other action (including removal of Teaching Content listings) in case of technical problems, objectionable material, inaccurate listings, inappropriately categorized services, failure to adequately respond to Edmodo users' inquiries, or actions otherwise prohibited by the procedures and guidelines contained on Spotlight, or for any other reason in the sole and absolute discretion of Edmodo, and to correct any inaccurate listing or technical problems on Spotlight
Use of Spotlight.
Edmodo does not claim ownership rights in your Teaching Content; you own your Teaching Content, and making it available for others to access through Spotlight does not mean that Edmodo is acquiring or obtaining any ownership rights, including any intellectual property rights that subsist in your Teaching Content. Instead, to enable us to operate and run Spotlight and to ensure that Edmodo is not violating any rights you might have in the Teaching Content, you hereby grant Edmodo a worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable right and license to: (a) market your Teaching Content and to permit others to use, access, install, and download your Teaching Content and any associated documentation through Spotlight; (b) use your applicable trademarks and logos in connection with the distribution and marketing of the Teaching Content; and (c) translate or re-format your Teaching Content, or edit the listing description for such Teaching Content, as Edmodo deems it necessary.
You agree to use Spotlight only for purposes that are permitted by (i) this Agreement and by (ii) any applicable law, regulation, or generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions (including any laws regarding intellectual property and the export of data or software to and from the United States or other relevant countries). You will not use Spotlight or the Edmodo website or services, to market, sell, or promote any products or services that are not Teaching Content and/or that are not offered for sale or for free through Spotlight, and you further acknowledge and agree that you will not engage in any marketing or promoting of your Teaching Content that is prohibited by Edmodo's Terms of Service.
You agree to use Spotlight only for purposes that are permitted by (i) this Agreement and by (ii) any applicable law, regulation, or generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions (including any laws regarding intellectual property and the export of data or software to and from the United States or other relevant countries). You will not use Spotlight or the Edmodo website or services, to market, sell, or promote any products or services that are not Teaching Content and/or that are not offered for sale or for free through Spotlight, and you further acknowledge and agree that you will not engage in any marketing or promoting of your Teaching Content that is prohibited by Edmodo's Terms of Service.
You agree that you will only submit, post, or upload Teaching Content that you were involved in creating and that you are legally permitted to make available for distribution via Spotlight. Edmodo respects the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, and we expect you to do the same. For sake of clarity, in Spotlight, you are not permitted to sell or make available for free any Teaching Content that infringes on the intellectual property rights of any third parties. It is Edmodo's policy, in appropriate circumstances and in its discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of any Content Provider who repeatedly infringes, or who is repeatedly accused of infringing, the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.
You agree that if you obtain any information regarding any individual person or entity in connection with your use of Spotlight or provision of the Teaching Content, you will protect the privacy and legal rights of any such people or entities (including, without limitation, use of any personally identifiable information you receive from Edmodo users pursuant to Section 3 or any information provided to you by Edmodo). For clarity, any communications between you and Edmodo users will be conducted outside of Edmodo and Spotlight, and you will not request or collect through Spotlight service any information from any person or entity. You will not use information obtained in connection with Spotlight, such as order information, for any purposes other than fulfilling the order, including, but not limited to, selling or distributing Teaching Content in any manner (including outside of Spotlight).
You agree that you will not engage in any activity in connection with Spotlight, including the development or distribution of any Teaching Content, that interferes with, disrupts, damages, or accesses in an unauthorized manner the devices, servers, networks, or other properties or services of Edmodo or any third party.
You will not engage in any activity that is harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, or otherwise objectionable.
You will not engage in any activity that is designed to increase artificially the reviews or ratings of your Teaching Content, including, but not limited to, submitting reviews for your own Teaching Content, asking users to write favorable reviews, or using automated means to generate reviews and ratings for your Teaching Content.
You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Edmodo has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any Teaching Content you distribute through Spotlight and for the consequences of your actions (including any loss or damage which Edmodo may suffer) by doing so.
You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Edmodo has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any breach of your obligations under this Agreement, any applicable third party contract or terms of service, or any applicable law or regulation, and for the consequences (including any loss or damage which Edmodo or any third party may suffer) of any such breach.
Provision of Information to Edmodo.
You will provide Edmodo with all requested data or information about you and your Teaching Content ("Information"), including all payment and tax identification information, and you will ensure that Information is accurate and up-to-date. You understand and agree that failure to provide requested Information or failure to keep Information accurate and up-to-date may prevent Edmodo from making any payments due to you hereunder.
Representations and Warranties.
By posting, uploading, inputting, providing or submitting your Teaching Content to Spotlight, you represent and warrant that: (a) you have the legal right and authority to do so; (b) the Teaching Content does not infringe, violate, or misappropriate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation or rights of any third party, including intellectual property rights; (c) the Teaching Content does not contain a virus, trojan horse, worm, time bomb, or other harmful computer code, file, or program; and (d) nothing in the Teaching Content, nor Edmodo's offering thereof on Edmodo Spotlight, will require payment of any kind to a third party.
You will indemnify and hold Edmodo, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees and agents harmless (including, without limitation, from all damages, liabilities, settlements, costs and attorneys' fees) from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of your access to or use of Spotlight, your violation of this Agreement, or the infringement by you or any third party using your account of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity. For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall include, without limitation, your obligation to indemnify Edmodo for any tax, tariff, duty, levy, assessment or withholding that may be charged to, levied against, or otherwise payable by Edmodo with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (excluding taxes payable on Edmodo's income).
De-listing Teaching Content; Termination.
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while your resources are available on Spotlight. Subject to the terms of this Section 8, either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason or for no reason, with notice to the other party. Upon termination of your Edmodo Spotlight Provider account, your right to use Spotlight will immediately cease. Termination of an Edmodo Spotlight Provider account does not necessarily require termination of your Edmodo account, depending on the reason and scope of termination. After termination, Edmodo will provide any money owed to you in connection with any purchases of your Teaching Content within twenty (20) days after your next regularly scheduled monthly payment.
You may "de-list" any item of Teaching Content, or all of your Teaching Content, from Spotlight, at any time, upon notice to Edmodo. However, as long as you have any listing on Edmodo Spotlight, you must continue to fulfill your obligations pursuant to Section 3 for all Teaching Content, including Teaching Content no longer listed on Spotlight, and all provisions of this Agreement survive with respect to Teaching Content still listed on Edmodo. In addition, if a user has already downloaded your Teaching Content, you understand that de-listing that particular Teaching Content from Spotlight will not affect any individual's ability to continue accessing that item.
Without limiting Section 8(a), Edmodo may terminate this Agreement, and/or terminate or suspend in whole or in part your access to or use of Spotlight with respect to any or all Teaching Content, at any time, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including, without limitation, if you breach any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, or if your behavior or any Teaching Content is offensive or unacceptable in any manner (or otherwise fails to meet Edmodo's rigorous standards of educational quality).
The following provisions shall survive termination of this Agreement (in whole or in part): Sections 2(b) (excluding any obligation of Edmodo to allow for the download of Teaching Content), 2(c) (excluding any obligation of Edmodo to collect or process payments), 4(c), 4(e), 4(f), 6-12 and any payment obligations incurred prior to the effective date of termination.
Limitation of Liability
You may receive business, technical, financial, or other information, materials, and/or ideas from Edmodo during the term of this Agreement, including, without limitation, personal information about Edmodo users, and details about the Revenue Share rate and Net Revenue generated by any Teaching Content (all of the foregoing, "Confidential Information" of Edmodo). You agree to hold in confidence and not use or disclose (except as necessary to fulfill your obligations hereunder) the Confidential Information. You understand that, pursuant to Edmodo's Privacy Policy , Edmodo may collect and use certain data regarding Edmodo users use of the Teaching Content. Edmodo is under no obligation to share this data with you, but if it does, such data shall be considered Edmodo's Confidential Information.
You understand and agree that Edmodo works with many content providers, and their products may be similar to your Teaching Content ("Similar Offerings"). Edmodo may also develop its own Similar Offerings. To avoid potential misunderstandings, Edmodo cannot agree to any confidentiality or use restrictions with respect to any information that you may provide in connection with the Teaching Content or this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed to limit Edmodo from developing Similar Offerings.
This Agreement is not assignable, transferable, or sublicensable by you (by operation of law or otherwise), except with Edmodo's prior written consent. Edmodo may transfer, assign or delegate this Agreement and its rights and obligations without consent.
The parties agree that they are each independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to establish a joint venture, partnership, agency, or employment relationship between the parties. Neither party has the right or authority to assume or create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other. Any notice, report, approval, or consent required or permitted hereunder will be in writing, email sufficing. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any waivers or amendments will be effective only if made in writing and executed by both parties. If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
These Spotlight Content Provider Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Spotlight Content Provider Terms shall be finally settled in San Francisco County, California, in English, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction. For all purposes of this Agreement, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the United States Federal Courts located in the Northern District of California.
