Vandals attack church in Bangalore
BANGALORE: In a repeat of last September's attacks, a church on the outskirts of Bangalore was damaged early on Thursday. Unidentified vandals broke two statues in the premises and damaged the glass panes of the St Francis De Sales Church.
The attack in the Hebbugodi neighbouhood came even as the Justice Somashekhar Commission was inquiring into various church attacks across the state, and ironically, held one of its sittings in the city on Thursday.
Last September, there were a series of attacks on churches in Mangalore, Bangalore, Davanagere, Kodagu and in other towns along the coast, reportedly by activists who alleged that churches were encouraging conversions to Christianity.
Thursday's attack came to light only around 6 am, when parish priest Fr Aloysus came out of his quarters, situated behind the church, and noticed that the glasses were broken.
He called the police and other priests in the area. Later, they realised that the statues had been completely damaged. The miscreants had apparently tried to set a car parked in front of the quarters on fire, by placing some papers under it and lighting it.
The only person who was aware of the attack was Arul, a security guard with the adjacent St Francis De Sales Junior College, who was sleeping in his room. However, the miscreants locked him inside the room, before damaging the premises. The glass of the security room was also broken.
Over 350 angry followers of the church blocked the Bangalore-Hosur Road on Thursday morning, which resulted in a huge traffic pile-up. The roads were cleared after the local police intervened.
Fr Aloysus said he had not perceived any threat to the church. "We used to involve all the people in church activities and recently, had St Mary's Fest also. After the fest was over, John, the security man, went to his home town. He was expected to return on Thursday evening," Fr Aloysus said.
However, other followers of the church described it as a well-organised attack.
Arul told the police and Fr Aloysus that he was awakened by someone locking his room from outside, between 2.30 am and 3 am. The next moment, the window glasses of his room were smashed. However, he was not aware of the damage either to the statues or window panes of the church.
"Even I didn't hear anything in the night. The attackers have damaged two window glasses but not those facing my quarters. They seem to know the premises very well," Fr Aloysus said.
Bangalore Rural district SP Dr B A Mahesh said the police were looking into the matter. "There is a lot of work to be done on the issue and we are confident we will crack this case," he added.
Condemning the incident, home minister V S Acharya alleged that some anti-social elements were trying to create disharmony. He gave an assurance that churches in the state would be protected. Acharya said he had deputed a team of senior officials to get an on-the-spot assessment of the incident, and instructed the police to speed up the investigation.

Translate Bio Presents Preclinical Data Supporting MRT5201 for the Treatment of Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) Deficiency at the Society for Inherited Metabolic Disorders (SIMD) Annual Meeting
-- MRT5201 was efficiently delivered to the liver of a mouse model of OTC deficiency --
-- Preclinical data demonstrated a single IV dose of MRT5201 was sufficient to protect against hyperammonemia for up to 4 weeks --
"MRT5201 is designed to treat patients with OTC deficiency by intravenous delivery of mRNA encoding fully functional OTC enzyme to the liver to enable hepatocytes to produce the normal OTC enzyme," said Dr.
Preclinical Study Data
The poster presentation included findings from experiments using MRT5201, an LNP containing a codon-optimized human OTC mRNA, delivered to the liver of a mouse model of OTC deficiency (OTCspf-ash) following IV administration. This mouse model was designed to replicate certain clinical features of OTC deficiency, such as high levels of ammonia in the blood and elevated urinary orotic acid levels. In these experiments, the mice were treated with MRT5201 and then challenged with an intraperitoneal injection of ammonium chloride to mimic a hyperammonemic episode.
The Company observed the following in the preclinical data:
- Functional human OTC protein expression in the livers of OTC-deficient mice. After treatment with single escalating IV doses of MRT5201, delivery of human OTC mRNA was observed in a dose-dependent manner resulting in expression of human OTC enzyme. This OTC enzyme was functionally active as demonstrated by reduction of blood ammonia, following an ammonium chloride challenge given 24 hours post dose, to levels that are normal for wild-type mice, as well as normalization of urinary orotic acid levels.
- Production of durable levels of functional human OTC expression in the livers of OTC-deficient mice. After treatment with a single IV dose of MRT5201, the OTC-deficient mice were challenged with ammonium chloride at 1, 2, 3 or 4 weeks post dose. MRT-treated mice showed durable levels of functional human OTC protein expression with protection against hyperammonemia and normalization of urinary orotic acid for up to 4 weeks.
- Efficacy following repeated dosing of MRT5201. OTC-deficient mice received one to five IV doses of MRT5201 and were given an ammonium chloride challenge every two weeks. Repeated dosing of MRT5201 showed sustained effects of targeted human OTC mRNA treatment in OTC-deficient mice.
The full abstract #20 can be found in the March issue of Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, Volume 126, Issue 3, Pages 209-340.
About MRT5201
MRT5201 is designed to treat patients with OTC deficiency by intravenous delivery of mRNA encoding fully functional OTC enzyme to the liver to enable the hepatocytes, the predominant type of liver cell, to produce the normal OTC enzyme. MRT5201 has been granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of OTC deficiency in the U.S. and EU.
About OTC Deficiency
OTC deficiency is a metabolic liver enzyme disorder that results from a mutation in the OTC gene, and is the most common urea cycle disorder. The OTC enzyme is necessary for preventing the accumulation of ammonia, a normal byproduct of protein breakdown. When the enzyme is defective or absent, high levels of ammonia accumulate in the blood, which can cause serious and irreversible neurological damage. Based on published research, the incidence of OTC deficiency is estimated to be 1 in 56,500 live births in

Talk about a drama filled production. Remember like, 14 years ago, when we got the first trailer for Fox's The New Mutants? A move for comic book properties into the horror realm is what we were promised, and though not much was shown it certainly felt like they were achieving it. Then the flick was pushed back from it's original 2017 release...re-shoots they said. Then pushed again, and again. Side Note: There were very positive test screenings of the flick a few years ago...so what was the problem? This sounds very much like studio interference to me, some suit wanted it to be more comic-book "Hey The Avengers make boatloads, let's stick with what works!". Problem is, that doesn't work for every subject, and this film was a chance to solidify the future for comic book films. Here's the thing, they aren't going anywhere, that's obvious at this point. So the only way for them to remain relevant and not end up in over-saturation is to change things up a bit. Bottom-line, comic book movie is not a genre, it's a subject. The New Mutants was going to show the studios this. You can option EVERY comic book property ever made but every comic is different on some level, if you make the same type of movie from each one you're going to have a lot that don't work.
There's still hope though, they've invested a ton of money in this flick already so it's definitely going to see the light of day. The talk now is that Fox is looking to offload it to Hulu, which could be awesome for a number of reasons. First and foremost the streaming sites are the most likely to take risks, and there for most likely to release a cut that is more like The Shining then a studio butchered edit that comes off like a CW show called X-Men: The Early Years.
Everything here is with a grain of salt, the Fox/Disney merger has a ton of projects in movie purgatory right now with no idea where they'll end up. Scott Bechtel, co-host of Merc with a Podcast, is known to have some inside connections that have panned out. He had this to say on Twitter:
Fox and Boone are really struggling coming to terms on a comprehensible and finished product. They're looking to release it in early November. But Fox is still toying with a Hulu release in October for The New Mutants.

Did you know that electronic waste is fastest growing waste stream globally? This is due to both the shortened lifespan of our electronic devices and societies demands for the newest high-tech products. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that only 15 to 20 percent of e-waste is recycled, the rest of these electronics go directly into landfills, incinerators and are illegally exported to developing countries.
We use an electronic device for a while and discard it once the new model comes out, which, of course, has a brand-new port, rendering your massive collection of charging cables virtually useless. And you probably have a drawer dedicated to old, useless cables. Face it, you are never going to use them again, despite what the tinkerer or hoarder in you says. So what do you do when it's time to clean out the drawer? Here are some options for recycling or reusing old cables.
When removed from the sheath, pure copper wire can be sold for salvage. It likely won't be worth a fortune, but you can at least make some cash off old cables that you're never going to use again. Any metal recycling center will accept your copper-cored wires, and will likely accept most of your small electronics, in addition to other wires and cables. You can also sell or recycle your used electronics.
Give to a Friend or a Family Member
Not everyone quickly upgrades computers or other electronics. So before discarding a giant collection of cables and chargers, make sure to ask your friends and family members if they might be able to use them. Additionally, with the exception of some Apple products, most home entertainment cords and cables can be used with other devices. So be sure to check their functionality before donating them.
Donate to STEM programs
Schools and many non-profits have STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs or projects that often use older technology. Your old cable cords, chargers and wires very well may not be so outdated for educational purposes. These programs appreciate electronic donations even if all you have is the odd power cord or old Ethernet cable that wasn't quite long enough.
Retail Drop-Off
One of the easiest ways to recycle old chargers and cables, is through Best Buy. Every Best Buy in the US has a kiosk for recycling electronics just inside the door. According to the Best Buy website, they accept "rechargeable batteries, wires, cords, cables and plastic bags." Check out their website to see if Best Buy will accept what you want to recycle.

Specialized Rail Transport (SRT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cooper/T. Smith(CTS), purchased Kavanagh Logistics, Inc.(KLI) three and a half years ago. There were many good reasons for the transaction but in general, a good overall fit. The combined resources looked like a winner. We found this idea to be true. We continued to operate separately but cooperatively.
Over time, we assisted and supported each other. We learned that each company had excellent resources that contributed to the other. That naturally developed and evolved into one blended company. I am proud to announce the new company name, SRT Transportation Solutions(SRT-TS). The "SRT" has always been used as an acronym for Specialized Rail Transport. The "Transportation Solutions" bests describes the Dedicated Management that KLI has developed with their customers over 30 years. The new name has real meaning andincorporates both companies. The Management Team is Glenn Kavanagh, Executive Vice President; Alex Loya, VP Operations; Lisa McConnell, VP Transportation Services and Kelli Collins, VP Sales & Marketing. We remain here for you.
Our goal is not to change what the two companies have done well in the past, but to combine them into one well run company. The consolidation allows us to be your Transportation Solution. The support of our parent company (CTS) provides corporate and financial resources. Our agreements and offerings will remain unchanged. If anything requires updating we will let you know. Please let us know if we have missed something. You will notice our signatures have changed and all our email addresses will fall under the @srt.cc domain. Pastemail addresses will remain intact.

Recently, we were asked to transport a Stator for the construction of new nuclear power plant on the east coast. SRT Transportation Solutions had the right car for the job based onthe dimensions of the load. The move went without a hitch given that the Stator and our 20 axle railcar (KRL 204002) were a perfect match. Our team worked closely with the customer to make sure that move was executed safely and effectively. The rail route required several critical shifts of the load to negotiate curves and clear obstructions. The railcar's hydraulic system allowed it to lift and shift the 415 ton load on the 40' foot load deck. At the conclusion of the project, our customer commended us on the excellence of our team and our greatservice.

Three Tips to Responding Well to Writing Feedback
Since writers are always saying something, we will always receive criticism. Many times, it's because we asked for feedback. It will come, be it from editors, agents, readers – or for those of us that are unpublished, from critique groups, fiction writing class mates, writer friends, and family. Feedback is necessary and helpful, yet it can be painful. If you hear that comment that drives you to dangle all your writing dreams over the dumpster – I have advice for you. Don't do it. Back away from the dumpster. Instead of trashing dreams, take heart and take these three suggestions seriously.
1. Think before you defend
Or don't defend at all. Don't even speak. When someone tells you they don't like your character (the character you based off yourself), nod and listen respectfully. When your editor tells you your favorite analogy isn't working, take a breath. Be grateful. Be kind. No matter if the feedback was vastly positive or completely negative, thank the person for their time and their help. The golden rule works well here.
What you shouldn't do is rush to explain how you just really like that metaphor and how you think it's really great and it pulls the whole story together. To be frank, that doesn't matter anymore. It's not just about you, as the writer. It's about readers, and a reader just told you they didn't understand. That means you have a job to do.
2. Remember you are writing to be read
My fiction writing professor constantly gives a spiel on feedback. She's says something like this: "When someone tells you of something that confused them in a story, you don't have to listen to their suggestion on how to fix it. You are the writer. How you fix it is up to you. But if your reader is confused, you should fix something."
If someone tells you that a certain scene or line or subplot just doesn't make sense, don't chop off the criticizer's head. Take a breath and realize who you are writing for. If you honestly want to publish a story but only you can understand it, something is wrong.
3. Take a break
Negative feedback hurts. Instead of getting angry, take a break. A long break. For longer works, leave longer time. When you find that you forget how you worded, say, your favorite sentence of the piece, you know you've taken enough time. Time gives emotions time to cool, it allows instincts to appear clearly, and it gives your brain space to refresh. All this is growth towards an objective perspective.
That's the key – objectivity.
What's the most painful criticism you've received? How did you handle it?

Press Release, PDF 0.02 MB
At today's Annual General Meeting of METRO AG, the shareholders will vote on the demerger of METRO GROUP into two strong and successful companies with a clear strategic focus. The proposed demerger will lead to the creation of a wholesale and food specialist operating under the METRO brand and a company with a focus on consumer electronics operating under the CECONOMY brand. The demerger will enable both future companies to become faster, more focused and more agile in order to create even greater value for their customers. Aside from the demerger plans, Chairman of the Management Board Olaf Koch will present a METRO GROUP that has significantly strengthened its operations and balance sheet. METRO GROUP met its sales and earnings targets and continued to reduce its net debt in financial year 2015/16. "In a challenging market environment, we further increased our sales and earnings and met our guidance during the past financial year," said Olaf Koch, Chairman of the Management Board of METRO AG. "Both METRO and CECONOMY have established a strategic, operational and financial position that will enable them to pursue sustainable and healthy growth paths as independent companies: METRO as the leading wholesale and food specialist and CECONOMY as Europe's No. 1 in the consumer electronics business."
METRO GROUP's like-for-like sales rose by 0.2% in financial year 2015/16. EBIT before special items increased to €1,560 million in the reporting period. Net debt was reduced further from the previous year's closing date by €0.2 billion to €2.3 billion. A dividend of €1.00 per ordinary share will be proposed to today's Annual General Meeting to share the company's successful business development with its shareholders.
Strategic priorities in financial year 2015/16 METRO Cash & Carry made further progress in the expansion of its delivery business in financial year 2015/16. Delivery sales rose by 17.9%, accounting for 12.8% of total sales. The online business also expanded during the past year. Media-Saturn continued the successful dovetailing of its online and store-based business as a multichannel provider with a new record share of online sales of about 9% in financial year 2015/16. Increasing digitisation was another key feature of the past financial year. The METRO Accelerator powered by Techstars started its second round in 2016. With this programme, METRO GROUP supports the development of innovative, digital solutions for the hospitality sector. Alongside the existing programme, a second Accelerator with a focus on innovative solutions for retail will start in summer 2017.
METRO GROUP has started the current financial year with a stable sales and EBIT development: With a like-for-like sales increase of 0.1% in the first quarter of 2016/17, METRO GROUP performed solidly in a challenging market environment. Negative currency and portfolio effects caused reported sales to decline by 0.6% to €17.0 billion (Q1 2015/16: €17.1 billion). EBIT before special items was unchanged from the previous year at €821 million in the first quarter of 2016/17 (Q1:2015/16: €828 million). At €0.1 billion, net debt remained unchanged from the low level of the previous year.
At today's Annual General Meeting, the shareholders will vote on the hive-down and spin-off agreement of 13 December 2016, that is, the demerger of METRO GROUP into two strong and successful companies with a clear strategic focus. It is intended that the wholesale and food retail business bundled in the METRO Cash & Carry and Real sales divisions as well as related activities will be transferred to an independent, exchange-listed company that will operate under the name of METRO. For the consumer electronics business bundled in the Media-Saturn sales line it is intended that it will remain within the existing METRO AG and will be renamed and will operate under the name of CECONOMY after the demerger.
After the demerger plans had been announced at the end of March 2016, the organisational separation into two entities was implemented in September. At a Capital Markets Day on 15 December, financial markets and the public were informed about the strategies and positioning of the two new companies as well as their new brandings. The future METRO AG strives for the exchange listing for mid-2017.
Also on the agenda of today's Annual General Meeting is the election of new Supervisory Board members. As a consequence of the demerger of METRO AG, the two companies' respective 20-member Supervisory Boards will be reconstituted. The independent management consultant Dr Bernhard Düttmann will be nominated - subject to the completion of the demerger - to the Supervisory Board in place of Jürgen B. Steinemann, who will resign from the Board and switch to the future METRO AG once the demerger has become effective. As the successor to Gwyn Burr, who will also join the future METRO AG, Julia Goldin, a member of the management board of Lego A/S, Billund/Denmark, and as a successor to Mattheus P. M. (Theo) de Raad, who will also join the future METRO AG, Jo Harlow, a US native and member of the board of InterContinental Hotels, will be nominated subject to the completion of the demerger. Regine Stachelhaus, a member of the supervisory board of Covestro AG, among others, will be nominated as the successor to Prof. Dr Dr Ann-Kristin Achleitner, who will step down from the Board as planned. Dr Florian Funck, who has been a member of the Supervisory Board since 2015, will stand for re-election.
METRO GROUP is one of the most important international retailing companies. It generated sales of some €58 billion in financial year 2015/16. The company operates at more than 2,000 locations in 29 countries and employs some 220,000 people. The performance of METRO GROUP is based on the strength of its sales brands, which act independently on the market: METRO/MAKRO Cash & Carry, the international leader in the self-service wholesale trade; Media Markt and Saturn, the European market leader in consumer electronics retailing; and Real hypermarkets.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Technology stocks ended the quarter in the red on Friday, closing the session marginally lower overall, unable to extend a sharp rally enjoyed in the prior session, with shares of Research In Motion Ltd. rising on its quarterly results and those of RSA Security Inc. soaring on news it will be acquired by EMC Corp.
The tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index $COMPQ dipped just over 2 point to close at 2,172. On Thursday, the key index rallied 3% on the Federal Reserve's latest hike to U.S. interest rates.
For the quarter, the Nasdaq closed with a loss of just more than 7%, snapping four straight quarterly gains.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, +0.67% lost 4.5 points, or 1%, to close at 441.7, giving back a portion of a 4% rally enjoyed in the prior session.
Research In Motion RIMM saw its shares rise after it said its quarterly profit slipped as higher stock-option and other expenses offset stronger demand for its BlackBerry wireless communications devices. The Canadian company's revenue climbed 35%. See full story.
Shares gained $3.78, or 5.7%, to $69.77.
Meanwhile, RSA Security Inc. RSAS watched its stock continue its ascent after it reached a deal that will see storage-technology giant EMC EMC, -1.21% pay around $2.1 billion to acquire the security-software firm. The deal values RSA shares at $28 a piece.
RSA shares climbed $4.22, or 18%, to $27.10. Conversely, EMC's stock fell 28 cents, or 2.5%, to $10.97.
Other stocks on the move included that of Computer Sciences Corp. CSC, +0.65%, which said it had concluded a strategic review, opting not to seek a sale of the company.
The consulting and services giant announced plans to buy back $2 billion worth of its own stock. CSC also said it received an informal request from the Securities and Exchange Commission for information related to its grants of stock options to employees.
Investors who had hoped for a takeover premium for CSC shares were disappointed and sent the stock down $7.32, or 13%, to $48.56.
Apple Computer Inc. AAPL, +1.11% became perhaps the highest-profile tech company to announce an internal probe into its stock-option grants. After the prior close, Apple said it was looking into options granted over a four-year period, including a grant to Chief Executive Steve Jobs that was later cancelled. See full story.
Apple's stock fell $1.70, or 2.9%, to $57.27.
Elsewhere, CA Inc. CA, +0.00% missed a deadline to file its annual report with regulators after it uncovered two more accounting issues. Shares lost 22 cents, or 1.1%, to $20.55. See full story.
Microsoft Corp.'s shares MSFT, +0.56% were little moved by news of another delay to the latest version of its Office suite of business applications, widely used for tasks such as word processing, spreadsheets and e-mail management. Shares slipped 17 cents, or 0.7%, to $23.30.
Among the sector's most actively traded issues, Intel Corp. INTC, -0.10% and Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO, -0.06% both fell. Oracle Corp.'s shares ORCL, -0.54% also declined.

1,000s evacuated as heavy flooding hits Gaza Strip
Thousands of Palestinians have been evacuated from their homes and moved to safer places in the Gaza Strip after heavy flooding struck the besieged coastal sliver earlier this week.
Among those affected on Saturday were families who had lost their homes during Israel's 50-day summer war against the Palestinian enclave.
"We have been homeless for more than three months. Now our suffering increased due to the heavy rain," Na'eem Jendeya, a resident of Gaza City's eastern neighborhood of Shuja'iyya, said.
The Israeli war ended on August 26 with a truce that took effect after indirect negotiations in the Egyptian capital, Cairo. The onslaught killed nearly 2,140 Palestinians and injured thousands of others.
According to initial figures, nearly 89,000 Palestinian homes have been damaged in the Israeli military campaign against the Gaza Strip. A total of 15,000 homes have been either leveled to the ground or badly damaged that are no more habitable.
On November 27, The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said in a statement that hundreds of residents in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City had been evacuated due to the rise of a "storm water lagoon" in the area.
It further said the flooding had caused the closure of 63 schools across Gaza City and 43 schools across the northern Gaza Strip.
"The flooding is exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza caused by blockade and the unprecedented destruction from the latest Israeli offensive," the UN agency said.
The agency further noted that it was "providing emergency fuel to supply back-up generators for pumping stations, portable pumps, municipalities, water, sanitation and health facilities."

Item Number: 118084
Title: ANDREA VACCARO (Naples, 1604-1670) His Documented Life and Art
Author: Tuck-Scala, Anna Kiyomi
Price: Not Available
Description: Napoli: Paparo, 2011. 24cm., pbk., 252pp., illus., several color plates. English text. Summary: Andrea Vaccaro (Naples, 1604-1670): His Documented Life and Art is the first scholarly monograph on one of the most important seventeenth-century painters of southern Italy. Although it is widely known that Vaccaro was one of the main protagonists in the artistic culture of Naples, modern scholars, particularly from the twentieth century, have often considered him to be a painter of second rank, perhaps due to numerous works of uneven quality that have been attributed to him. The aim of this book is to re-establish the historical role of Vaccaro, concentrating in particular on his secure and documented artistic production, by checking firsthand relevant literary and archival sources. The latter, including new documents found by the author, are gathered together for the first time and published in the appendix. Catalogue entries for Vaccaro's documented corpus, together with a re-examination of biographical data, allow for a better definition of the chronological development of Vaccaro's art. They also make evident the stylistic and iconographical connections that link Vaccaro, in a prominent rather than subordinate way, not only to his contemporaries, Massimo Stanzione and Bernardo Cavallino, who are better known and appreciated today, but also more generally to the cultural context of his period. This book also takes into consideration the widespread circulation of his paintings and their influence, especially in Spain, thereby attesting further to the artist's critical fortune. In addition, new photographs taken specifically for this book are another reason why readers will find it to be a solid and fundamental starting point for future studies on the painter.
We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has launched a three-month public consultation on its Road Map to 2015.
The Agency is calling on all European and international partners and stakeholders - including patients' and doctors' organizations, the pharmaceutical industry and the public - to make their views known on the document - The European Medicines Agency Road Map to 2015: The Agency's contribution to Science, Medicines, Health – by April 30.
The Road Map specifically identifies the following three priority areas for future action by the Agency:
- addressing public health needs by: stimulating R&D in areas of unmet medical needs or for neglected and rare diseases; facilitating new and innovative approaches to the development of medicines; and implementing effective preparedness plans to deal with public health threats;
- optimising the safe use of medicines by: strengthening the evidence base on benefits and risks following a medicine's authorisation; applying novel pharmacovigilance methodologies and risk minimisation tools; taking patient experience into account for improved decision-making; and becoming a reference point on information about EMA-evaluated medicines; and
- facilitating access to medicines by: addressing the high attrition rate during the drug development process; improving its benefit/risk assessment model; and improving the quality and scientific and regulatory consistency of the review process.
Discussing this latter priority, the EMA notes that, despite increased research efforts, there is currently "a medicine development productivity gap," and that this is due both to new development requirements and drugmakers' "suboptimal management" of the process. It proposes to tackle these issues through a number of initiatives including: continuing efforts to optimise the scientific advice process; strengthening the involvement of stakeholders, particularly academics and patient groups, in drawing up medicines development guidelines; exploring whether the proven benefits of regulators engaging in early-phase development of pediatric medicines could be extended to the area of adult-use medicines; and exploring what incentives could be offered to the industry to make information from failed development projects available to the scientific community.
The EMA is also seeking a new platform for dialogue with the European Commission in order to improve the Agency's input into the European Union (EU) research agenda for medicines, to complement current initiatives on fostering innovation such as the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI).
Improvements are also needed in the area of clinical trials, particularly in relation to the "current disconnection" between trials and EU scientific advice, it says, while the Commission's impact assessment of proposed changes to the clinical trials legislation has revealed a need to establish an "overarching" regulatory process, covering all stages of medicine development up to licensing.
Finally, the EMA notes that the increasing globalisation of clinical research and manufacturing and its movement to low to middle-income countries needs careful consideration, and its plans here include further development and implementation of its strategy for acceptance of clinical trials conducted in third countries.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has launched a three-month public consultation on its Road Map to 2015.

About Smart Storage – The Under Stairs & Loft Storage Company
Smart Storage specialises in discrete home storage solutions. Prompted by the growing 'shoe crisis' in their own home, husband and wife team, Paul and Clodagh Jacob developed Smart Storage range of under the stairs storage solutions. Designed to fit under the main stairwell or attic space, the goal was to maximise storage by installing slide-out drawers. The units fold seamlessly into the wall without having drawer handles obstructing the hallway or room.
The story took off when Paul appeared on the 2012 season Dragon's Den' and received an investment from an entrepreneur magnate. Qualified engineers Clodagh and Paul developed the idea when their two young daughters began to follow in their mother's footsteps – developing a keen interest in footwear. Paul badly needed to devise an easier way to store the growing 'shoe mountain'.
Smart Storage are our go-to company for storage solutions- Sarah Beeny - TV presenter & property developer
Peter Andre & the 60 minute makeover crew (left) contacted us to help with a storage nightmare! Filming with ITV in south London, working with the design team to come up with a solution to the families needs. It was a fantastic opportunity & everybody was extremely happy with the finished article.
Norah Casey (centre) gloats over her new investment , after battling off other Dragons to partner with entrepreneur Paul Jacob. Norah is excited about what lies ahead for the business.
Sarah Beeny (right), she's back! With a new series, but similar problems, we were delighted to be approached again by Sarah and her team to help solve another storage nightmare, in Channel 4′s Double Your Home for Half the Money. We were brought in to solve solutions problems in the standard smaller type homes, where very little space existed. "Smart Storage are our go-to company for storage solutions' claims Sarah. It's great to have the Beeny stamp of approval.
Today Smart Storage operates out of five main hubs, strategically located nationwide, thus allowing us to service the entire island. The main fitting centres are; Wicklow (South West), Dublin (National), Cork (South East), Limerick (West/Mid West) and Athlone (West & Midlands).

If you got into Gold or GLD take some of your profits this weekend
Just a quick post for those who have followed my suggestion to buy into gold earlier this year. Gold and the ETF GLD have experienced a nice run during the first quarter of 2008. With this past week's decline in commodities, I decided to take some of my profits from GLD. If you have yet to place a stop loss order, I suggest that you do now. Consider the fact that the price has dropped below $90 a share. My target was $95 and I ordered the stop loss late last week. I hope you reaped some benefits as well.
Keep in mind all is not lost in GLD, the commodities expert Jim Rodgers who co-founded the now closed Quantum Fund with George Soros has been quoted saying that Gold will continued to surge as much as $3,500. But remember- you gotta know when to hold'em and when to fold'em. To your success.

Wishe a.k.a. Tehoronhiahte meaning in Kanienké:ha «He is the Blue Sky» is a proud father of two children borned and raised in Kanehsatà:ke according to traditional values. After a successful career in the industry of bicycles and in the cycling milieu at elite level Wishe was looking how he could have quality time with his Kids who were Powwow dancers at the time. Singing iroquois social songs for some years will make the switch to powwow style easier, definitely the choice was obvious; that was the path to follow. Consequently the drum group RedTail Spirit Singers was created and began its journey in Kanehsatà:ke in 2004; the name was inspired by his son's regalia because the bustle was made of Talons and Feathers from a red tail hawk.
After more than 30 years on the powwow trail, several hundred thousands of kilomètres, more than 500 songs in his mind Wishe still passionate about it. He makes sure to keep the focus on the original mission. At every opportunity he will repeat this basic leitmotiv: with Respect, Love, Honesty, Courage, Humility, Work and Education come Wisdom, Freedom and Happiness.

Monaural Sound Localization Based on Structure-Induced Acoustic Resonance
Division of Electronics & Electrical Engineering, Dongguk University-Seoul, Seoul 100-715, Korea

Sensors 2015, 15(2), 3872-3895; https://doi.org/10.3390/s150203872

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Acoustic Waveguide Sensors)
A physical structure such as a cylindrical pipe controls the propagated sound spectrum in a predictable way that can be used to localize the sound source. This paper designs a monaural sound localization system based on multiple pyramidal horns around a single microphone. The acoustic resonance within the horn provides a periodicity in the spectral domain known as the fundamental frequency which is inversely proportional to the radial horn length. Once the system accurately estimates the fundamental frequency, the horn length and corresponding angle can be derived by the relationship. The modified Cepstrum algorithm is employed to evaluate the fundamental frequency. In an anechoic chamber, localization experiments over azimuthal configuration show that up to 61% of the proper signal is recognized correctly with 30% misfire. With a speculated detection threshold, the system estimates direction 52% in positive-to-positive and 34% in negative-to-positive decision rate, on average. View Full-Text

The Type Set Co. Branding & Packaging
We recently introduced our newest sister company and very first physical product – modern magnetic letters by The Type Set Company. Idea generation is totally our jam– but product-based branding and packing design — that's the sweetest part of our jam. No doubt about it.
We'll be honest, doing design work for ourself is hard! We had to painstakenly force ourselves to go through the same branding journey that we ask our clients to travel. If you've been down that road with us – you know it's no easy feat. And, we were taking this journey for a side hustle while keeping all-things-Braizen in order.
When things go busy – we remembered, as we do with every project we work on, to stay true to our primary design goal – Keep It Simple!
Now that The Type Set Company has officially launched – and we survived AmericasMart we want to take a moment to highlight the thought and design process behind the creation of our new baby!
Logo Design
So, let's take it from the top – We actually didn't start with the brand. We started with the product design. This is so important – product first, brand second.
A product-based brand identity shouldn't exist without an actual product. –tweet this
We started designing fonts before we'd even landed on a company name. I knew we wanted to have classic, simple font designs (more on this later) so that pretty much ruled out a classic, simple logo because we felt like the logo would blend in with our product. We needed something to complement our product and add some pop!
In other words, we needed a logo that would stand out from our product and attract our ideal client – the design-conscious grown-up with a penchant for prose and a nerdy, nostalgic disposition. A simple, monoline script immediately jumped out at us. It just made good design sense, and it looked great!
Like so many of our designs, this project started out on paper. As you can see below, it was pretty rough, but as it came together, the whole thing started to feel right. More often than not, we've learned, designing is a lot of feelings and instinct.
Color Story
Our color palette was mostly born out of economic reasons. We've been doing branding and packaging for small businesses for over 14 years now, and we've learned a thing or two about keeping costs down while also creating beautiful, impactful design. We knew a limited palette would make things easier for us on many fronts.
Black is a color that says luxury and class. According to color guru Fiona Humberstone, it evokes a sense of sophistication. It's contrast is white, which suggests "clean and simple." By adding a touch of kraft goodness, we brought in some much-needed warmth and nostalgia to the brand. It's reminiscent of bag lunches and school art projects. These colors combined, create a story of simple luxury and sentimentality.
Our secondary fonts were tricky to choose since our product is type-based. We needed to choose fonts that were in-line with our brand, but didn't distract from our actual product. We love the combination of a friendly slab serif, the elegance of an italic, and the drama of a bold, condensed sans serif.
Words & Pictures
The other essential elements of this brand were some excellent copy, which evokes just the right feels, and clean, modern photography that has just a touch of eclecticism. We hired the talented Shay Cochrane to shoot a handful of gorgeous flatlay and lifestyle interiors. Then, we supplemented with some simpler, standard product shots on white.
The magnetic letters are packaged in a sturdy telescoping kraft paper tube, which creates a unique shelf presence, an upscale design aesthetic, and a perfect long-term storage solution. We saved money by utilizing one package design and creating stickers to indicate font style and color.
Choosing one packaging type is not only cost effective, but it also speaks to our constant theme that a brand is never just one thing. Instead, it's the harmony of many things working together to communicate an identity. The whole is only as strong as its parts, and each individual part must be carefully considered.

There aren't many musicians who can match singer Banu Gibson's knowledge of and passion for the vocal jazz of the '20s and '30s. One such player will be joining her regular band at Jazz Fest this year: New York multi-instrumentalist Vince Giordano, who leads the Nighthawks Orchestra and is known for Boardwalk Empire and other period soundtracks. While the two have performed together over the years, Giordano doesn't like traveling and this will be one of the few times he's played New Orleans. He'll be playing tuba, string bass and bass saxophone—this being one of the few cities where he can find those instruments instead of having to carry his own.
"It's fascinating that we've had parallel careers, and he's musically attracted to the same things I am," Gibson says. "I knew his reputation, but seeing him in New York was great fun. Usually you only get to hear this music on old 78s, and when someone plays it the music becomes alive." The two first crossed paths in the '80s when Gibson was performing in New York—her pianist and arranger David Boeddinghaus was the connection—and remained in touch over the years. "We used to travel together and bitch about how hard it is to be a bandleader. And it's tougher for him since he has twice the number of musicians I do."
Gibson can take some pride in having predated, and probably influenced, the current vogue for early jazz. "More people have been getting the bug bite, and that's spectacular. When you love this music, sometimes you get to feel that you're the last person who will ever love it." But as a music teacher herself (she cofounded the New Orleans Traditional Jazz Camp, which continues this summer), she's a bit of a stickler for getting the details right.
"If you're doing something as a museum piece, then it's going to be dead, and I think my own voice comes through when I sing. But I'm also performing in a style that has certain parameters that I live within. When I came to town I was combining Broadway songs with a Dixieland style, but I've moved toward something that's less of a hybrid.If I'm taking a song from the Great American Songbook, I want you to hear it the way you might have the first time around. Since this material has been out there, so many singers have put their own spin on it that you don't recognize the original. So I take that away and try to give you the real meat and potatoes. A song will completely change if you can give it the right tempo and feel—and if you really sing the lyrics, not just the syllables."

Before upgrading any parts on your guitar you should ensure that it is set up correctly, is in a good state of maintenance and, if necessary, make appropriate adjustments. No set of pickups – even when they're as good as ours! – will ever compensate for a twisted neck or a poor setup.
