Safety Release Reflex (SRR)
Due to the recent accidents I want to repeat what I advise everyone I see with a kite to do.
Sorry if I sound like a broken record as I have repeted this many times, but not in it's own
It is of life and death importance to develop what I have called Safety Release Reflex (SRR).
Basicly you should build up an instinctive reflex reaction to pull your safety release when things go wrong.
Ask yourself when did you last pull your safety? Would you be able to find it in a split second with
a hand full of sand in your eyes and after being hit on the head hard?
This is what I suggest:
After each move or transition briefly reach and get a good grip on your safety release.
Everytime you almost fall or lose your balance do the same.
Before launching do the same.
Making a habit of this will just make it so much easier to use your safety when you need it.
Remember that when you need your safety you may be flying through the air, getting yanked,
half drowned, tierd...you name it.
Every martial artist or musician is evidence how practice makes perfect!
I also recommend testing your safety under load and testing it not under load on a regular basis.
Testing under load is obvious, but testing not under load is also important.
If your kite acts up and the lines go slak you may need to activate your safety to avoid the kite
suddenly powering up.
Be safe, wear a helmet and have fun!

2015 Aston Martin Vantage Review : Will The 2015 Aston Martin Vantage Review Have All Wheel Drive
The 2015 Aston Martin Vantage is the extremely-extravagance automaker's most energetic providing, and its littlest auto. It's likewise the minimal unmanageable, but with husky V8 Vantage fashions estimated from about $one hundred twenty,000 and fixing out on the V12 Vantage J's base price shut $185,000, its not what you'd name affordable.
At that price, drivers get a standout amongst essentially the most restrictive video games autos out and about, unified with a choice between an influential S-H motor and an thrilling S-12 that is among the auto world's sheer aural pleasures. Possibly is speedy, nonetheless the S-12 is absolute alluring, with its dream primed soundtrack.
A 12 months in the past, the Vantage picked up just a few updates, together with a Sport mode for S-H modes, a rearview Polaroid, and a recreation fumes for the usual eight-chamber Vantage. Not lengthy from now, there's larger information: the V12 Vantage goes away altogether, supplanted by the an amazing deal all of the extra influential V12 Vantage J mannequin with one other transmission and versatile suspension.
2015 Aston Martin Vantage Both Vantages have the identical profile, a suggestively low hoodline and easy, laid-again windshield, with adjusted again rump which have changed into Aston's signature because it started constructing autos principally from aluminum. There's extra space for air to course on the V12, with extra admissions slitted into the hood, and it wears new 10-spoke wheels, a handed out high and a darkish board on its exceedingly brief decklid. The lodge's persevered with Aston's treasured stone keyfob taking all vital focus, and metallic and Alcantara stresses surrounding an total sorted out sprint- -with carbon-fiber trim on V12s enterprise stress shades.
The entire Vantage attain gives comparative cockpit and seating gimmicks, with low-threw nevertheless agreeable seats, a large and usually fundamental focus stack, and nice ahead perceivability. Taking all issues collectively, its a pleasing setting for energetic driving and even augmented travels, but its not particularly open.
As you'd count on with a superior two-entryway, there's not a ton of area for bags or different equipment. The storage compartment is passable for a weekend getaway at most, and there is subsequent to no stockpiling within the precept traveler compartment. Given the Vantage's aim -speedy touring and energetic weekend driving- -that's presumably not a difficulty for usually purchasers.
2015 Aston Martin Vantage Materials and completions are for essentially the most half good, nonetheless as with every hand-manufactured auto, it's possible you'll uncover singular varieties in a number of boards. Cowhide (Luxmill or semi-aniline), Alcantara, and metallic trim are the precept staples of the Vantage lodge, with tasteful utilization of excessive-finish plastics to fill the crevices. Aston's trademark crystalline key dandy is moreover discovered right here, connecting to the sprint to show into the push-catch starter. We'd resolve on the accessible carbon-fiber interior half trim, which blankets the center stack and entryway pulls within the materials, even tinted within the occasion that you simply so search.
As is common with low-quantity, restrictive video games autos, the 2014 Aston Martin Vantage vary hasn't skilled accident testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). All fashions come commonplace with dependability and footing management, a full complement of driver and traveler airbags, and again stopping sensors.
The V8 Vantage and V8 Vantage R accompany a number of customary gimmicks, together with a one hundred sixty-watt Aston Martin sound framework with six-CD changer; Bluetooth; coordinated ipod and USB integration; and a A.H-mm helper information jack. Electrically versatile recreation seats, a full-grain calfskin internal half, pure electroluminescent exhibits, programmed ambiance management, again stopping sensors, and power collapsing warmed outer floor mirrors are moreover commonplace. Venturing as much as the V12 Vantage J brings these gimmicks along with normal route, auto-darkening mirrors, three-place reminiscence seats, and totally different carbon fiber and titanium interior half and out of doors stresses.
Notwithstanding the stable base checklist of capabilities, there are quite a few accessible redesigns, along with 2015 Aston Martin Vantage capability to usually design your auto with virtually any peculiarity you could want -gave an enormous sufficient ledger.

"Elkhart Tolle and the Christian Tradition" by Richard Rohr, OFM
Category:Richard Rohr
Although Eckhart Tolle is arousing great interest today, many think he is a novelty, New Age, or even non-religious. The process—and that is what it is—that he is teaching, can be traced through the Greek and Latin traditions of contemplation, the apophatic tradition in particular, and the long history of what was sometimes called "The Sacrament of the Present Moment"…
Although Eckhart Tolle is arousing great interest today, many think he is a novelty, New Age, or even non-religious. The process—and that is what it is—that he is teaching, can be traced through the Greek and Latin traditions of contemplation, the apophatic tradition in particular, and the long history of what was sometimes called "The Sacrament of the Present Moment" (Brother Lawrence, OCD, Francisco de Osuna, OFM, Jean Pierre de Caussade, S.J.).
The mystical tradition inside of Orthodoxy and Catholicism often divided contemplation into two types: infused or natural contemplation, and acquired contemplation. Evelyn Underhill, the brilliant historian of mysticism sees three forms of contemplation: 1) Mystical Contemplation of the Natural World, 2) Metaphysical Contemplation of the World of Being and Consciousness, 3) Theological Contemplation of the World of God.
After the oppositional mind that set in place during and after the Reformation of the 16th century, and after the Enlightenment of the 17th-18th centuries, this ancient tradition was largely lost, except among individuals. We lost the older Tradition of "praying beyond words" as the entire Western and Eastern Churches became quite preoccupied with words and proving words to be true or false. This is the only period that Protestantism and Evangelicals have ever known. So for at least 400 years, we have had neither an understanding of infused nor acquired contemplation! It is such foreign terrain to almost all Protestants, and most Catholics and Orthodox that they immediately think it is heresy or even pagan, when in fact, it is the solid tradition of the first 1400 years of Christianity! (Which I will try to document in my next book, The Third Eye).
Tolle is, in fact, rather brilliantly bringing to our awareness the older tradition of both "infused" or "natural contemplation," and the two first types in Underhill's listing. These are both the ground and the process for breaking through to theological contemplation of God, and acquired contemplation of Jesus, the Gospels, and all spiritual things. He is teaching process not doctrine or dogma. He is teaching how to see and be present, not what you should see when you are present. Tolle is our friend, and not an enemy of the Gospel. There should be no conflict for a mature Christian. "Anyone who is not against us, is for us," as Jesus said, and he also said, "Fear profits nothing."
What Tolle Is Not:
1. Eckhart Tolle is not a Christian theologian or teacher.
2. He is not teaching Christian contemplative prayer or Christian prayer at all.
3. He is not teaching any dogmas or doctrines as such.
4. He is not presuming or teaching that there is a personal/relational God (but neither is he denying it).
5. He is not a proponent of the social, communitarian nature of religion.
What Tolle is Doing:
1. Eckhart Tolle is teaching a form of natural mysticism or contemplative practice.
2. He is teaching a morality and asceticism of recognizing and letting go of "the self that has to die" (Matthew 16:25), which he calls ego and Jesus calls the "grain of wheat" (John 12:24) ; so that another self can be born, which he would call "consciousness" and we would call the person born again in Christ, or something similar.
3. He is giving us some practices (Similar to how John Wesley gave "methods" or Ignatius gave "exercises") whereby we can be present to the grace of the moment and stop the "passions," the "egocentric mind," or the "prideful self" which keeps us from true goodness (or God, as we would call it). Each tradition uses different language for what is to be overcome, but it is always some form of "un-love" and selfishness (which he calls ego). TOLLE IS NOT ASKING YOU TO BELIEVE ANYTHING. HE IS ASKING YOU TO TRY SOMETHING! You will know if it is true, if you try it, and you will not know if it is true or false, if you don't try it. No point in arguing it theoretically or in the abstract.
4. He does assume and imply a worldview that is foreign to many, if not most Christians. For Tolle, Being, Consciousness, God, Reality are all the same thing, which is not all bad, when you come to think of it. Of course, his very point is that you cannot think of it at all, you can only realize it. I would not call him pantheistic (all things are God) as much as panentheistic (God is IN all things).
5. His brilliant understanding of the "pain body," as he calls it, is actually very close to the Catholic notion of Original Sin, and does give a corporate, communitarian, mystical understanding to religion. We are all in this together, and share one another's pain. I'm not sure he makes clear how we share one another' joy, except that he tends to create very "low maintenance" people who can relax and enjoy life.
In Tolle's world, Jesus is not central. However, he is a beloved teacher, who does it perfectly right himself. "Redemption," as we understand it, is not necessary beyond letting go of our own fears, negativity, and oppositional energy. He might understand reality itself as gracious. We would localize that grace in and through Jesus, as the "Sacrament" of all of Creation.
Although Tolle is not a Christian teacher, we must not assume that makes him an anti-Christian teacher. Today we need whatever methods or help we can receive to allow the Christian message to take us to a deeper level of transformation. Our history, and our guidance of Western history, shows this has clearly not been happening on any broad scale. This is an opportunity for us to understand our own message at deeper levels. It would be a shame if we required him to speak our language and vocabulary before we could critically hear what he is saying—that is true and helpful to our own message.
What if John's Gospel had refused to use the word "Logos" which was a term directly taken from Platonist philosophy? What if Paul had kept the limited vocabulary and categories of Judaism when he preached in Rome and Athens? What if Thomas Aquinas had not written his Summa because it was a dialogue with Aristotelian philosophy? Would they have had any success as evangelists?
Admittedly, this will be much harder for those Christians who emerged after the 16th century when the older contemplative tradition was no longer taught, or understood even by the older Tradition. Catholics and Orthodox simply have the trustful advantage of apophatic saints like Clement of Alexandria, Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory Palamas, Dionysius the Areopogite, Bonaventure, Francisco de Osuna, Meister Eckhart (whose name Mr. Tolle chose when he recognized his gift as a spiritual teacher!), the Cloud of Unknowing, John of the Cross, and Jean Pierre de Caussade.
Unfortunately, most of Western Christianity has understood Jesus apart from the eternal Trinitarian life and the Pre-Existent Cosmic Christ that is presented in Colossians 1:15-20 or Ephesians 1:8-11. Here "The Son" is at work in the universe from the very beginning and everywhere, and not just during and after Calvary (which Protestantism has tended to exclusively concentrate on). Remember, both Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure said "Deus est Ens," God is Being Itself. This is not new or dangerous teaching, but if ones denominational tradition has no tradition of philosophical theology, or no tradition of the pre-existent Christ as the Second Person of the Trinity inherent in the very pattern of creation, then I admit that Eckhart Tolle will be quite foreign terrain. That does not make him wrong.
I have learned to join with Peter, who said after much resistance, "God has made it clear to me that I must not call anyone profane or unclean" (Acts 10:28), and I am willing to hear truth today wherever it comes from, as long as it does not compromise the Gospel. As St. Thomas Aquinas said, "If it is true, then it is from the Holy Spirit."
I must join with Paul who in preaching to the secular Athenians, said "God is not far from any of us, since it is in him that we live, and move, and have our very being" (Acts 17:28). That is an excellent foundation for trusting Tolle's natural mysticism. We are also preaching to a largely secular world, and must find a language that they can understand and draw from, as Paul did, and not insist that they learn our vocabulary before we can even talk to them or hear them. How else can we ever be "all things to all people" (1 Corinthians 9:22) or dare to think that we can "preach the Gospel to all creation" (Mark 16:16)?

Cincinnati Bengals star Chad Ochocinco will follow up his appearance this season on "Dancing with the Stars" with his own reality dating show on VH1.
The NFL player is heading to the network with "The Tournament," the working title for the series that will follow the 32-year-old father of four over the course of ten weeks as he looks for someone to become his leading lady in life.
According to VH1, the first episode will follow Chad as he crosses the country meeting women who want to date him. During that episode, he will then narrow the list down to 16, four women from each of the four regions of the country. The women will then compete in a tournament for Ochocinco's love.
In fact, Chad recently spoke to Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson about getting a dating show — unless, of course, he hits things off with his celebrity crush, "Modern Family" beauty Sofia Vergara.
"I'm single. I've struggled with the dating life," he told Shaun. "I haven't been able to find the right one, so with the help of a show like [that], as long as it's classy… it has to be classy because there's a way to do a show like this and be classy… and very tasteful and I would like it… unless you can get Sofia Vergara to date me."
Chad revealed he still hasn't met the Latina beauty, but he had a message for her, which he delivered to Access Hollywood's cameras.
"Girl, Sofia… Call me!" he said. "Feel free at any time. Thank you."
His "Dancing" partner Cheryl Burke also pointed out that Chad has a little crush on one of his fellow "Stars" — mom of eight Kate Gosselin.
"Kate, she's beautiful to me," he said.
Chad's dating show will premiere in July 2010. "Dancing with the Stars" Season 10 premieres on ABC on March 22.
Previous celebs who have had dating shows on VH1 have included Flavor Flav and Bret Michaels.
Chad's friend and potential teammate, Terrell Owens, also recently had a show on VH1, "The T.O. Show," focusing on his life. Terrell, who played with the Buffalo Bills last season, took meetings with the Bengals this week.

It has been interestting switching from Mercurial to Git. I honestly believed it would be more straight forward but I have to re-read again and again until the new ways sink in with me.
jgraham shared with me some notes (Thanks!) with regards what his workflow looks like and I want to document it for my own sake and perhaps yours:
git clone firstname.lastname@example.com:mozilla-b2g/fxos-certsuite.git # Time passes # To develop something on master # Pull in all the new commits from master git fetch origin # Create a new branch (this will track master from origin, # which we don't really want, but that will be fixed later) git checkout -b my_new_thing origin/master # Edit some stuff # Stage it and then commit the work git add -p git commit -m "New awesomeness" # Push the work to a remote branch git push --set-upstream origin HEAD:jgraham/my_new_thing # Go to the GH UI and start a pull request # Fix some review issues git add -p git commit -m "Fix review issues" # or use --fixup # Push the new commits git push # Finally, the review is accepted # We could rebase at this point, however, # we tend to use the Merge button in the GH UI # Working off a different branch is basically the same, # but you replace "master" with the name of the branch you are working off.

What a difference....

We now return to regularly scheduled posting....
I biked all summer, but my ass got no smaller. Quite possibly because I was eating everything in sight. Or drinking it.
I rejoined weight watchers. I started journaling what I was eating. I bought a Fitbit.
And guess what?
My ass is shrinking. Go figure.
I have four weddings this summer. FOUR!! And I am a bridesmaid in the third one. I will rock that dress!
Ski season began November 27 in Revy.
Got in a day in Fernie in December.
A week in Revy after Christmas.
Last weekend in Fernie.
Fernie again this weekend. With SNOW!!
You know they always say to find something that you love to do and it won't feel like exercise. That's biking and skiing. I grin the whole time. I love being in the mountains.
And now I must soak in a tub filled with my homemade Weekend warrior bath salts...

The operation continues.
Last night there was 11km in Glenbow provincial park. Big ass hill at beginning was a fun ride down. It was a but of a bitch coming back up after 10km and a storm breathing down our necks! But I made it all the way up without walking. I stopped, but I rode the whole thing.
Tonight I rode Nose Hill park. Just about 14km on tired legs in the heat was hard. I did walk a few bits. But it felt great to be out and catching up with my friend.
Getting psyched to hit Fernie again this weekend for an all girls camp! I'm sure my ass is going to get handed to me by a mountain or two, it's going to be fun!!

Did 10.5 km around Nose Hill after work. It was fast, hard, and hilly! And we just beat the rain, again.
You can't outrun (out bike) your fork.
It's true. So I signed up for the 21 day fix. My cousin's wife is a coach. I know I could use the measuring cups that full my kitchen drawer, and I do, but I obviously need some more guidance.
I'm still going to bike (hells yeah) and I promised Robin I would at least *try* the workouts. But I know the key is with my diet.
That said, I'm also considering a Fitbit Surge....I want the daily activity monitor AND the heart rate monitor for a more accurate calorie burn calculation.
Healthy lunch is packed. Biking gear is packed. A good night's sleep and I'm good to go another day!

Hit the trails at the Nordic Centre today. Conditions were great, scored rock star parking and had an awesome hour and twenty minute ride with two really big climbs.
Yesterday was COP with Andrea and that's what's on tap for tomorrow, too.
I'm signed up for an amazing camp in Fernie in August so I need to dial up my riding!

Operation Bike My Ass Off
In an effort to beat the insane heat, A and I met at 7 this morning to head to Bragg Creek. We arrived and were some of the first people there, which meant a parking spot in the shade. It was still cool and we were excited to hit the trails. And then shit hit the fan. A couldn't find the keys. And her car doesn't tell like mine does if the fob isn't in the car while it's running. So we weren't sure if they were on the ground by my car (20 minutes away) or at the gas station where she filled up...
And to top it all off, there's no cell service at the trailhead. So A rode back till she got a signal, called my mom to check around my car and her hubby to bring an extra set of keys. I waited and was tormented by flies and mosquitoes. Oh yeah, we both forgot bug spray =\
A returned and we got ready to head out. D would bring a key and meet us later. And then we saw it...
On top of the car, hiding behind the ski rack, were the keys.
So we got started a little late, but still beat most of the heat. We rode up boundary ridge (I think it took us about an hour of steady climbing). And flew back down in 15 minutes or less. Super fun--great cardio on the uphill and lots of practice working on the skills I'm learning in my course on the way down.
Hit up Costco, spent the afternoon prepping lunches and dinners for the week and now am hanging out in front of my AC with Nerm. =)

The quinces in this stew are not combined with sugar and therefore will not change color. They require only 45 minutes of cooking time to become tender.
This flavorful dish is even better when made a day ahead.
- Yield
- Serves 8
- For marinade
- 5 juniper berries
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 cups dry red wine
- 3 1/2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder
- 2 medium onions
- 2 garlic cloves

- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads, crumbled
- 1 1/2 cups veal demiglace
- 1/3 cup red-currant jelly
- 3 medium quinces (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
- 1 lemon
- 3 celery ribs
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (about 3 ounces)
- Accompaniment:Pistachio Couscous

- Chop onions and mince garlic. In an 8-quart heavy kettle heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook onions with garlic, cinnamon, and saffron, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened. With a slotted spoon transfer onion mixture to a large bowl.
- Pat lamb dry and season with salt and pepper. In kettle brown lamb in batches, without crowding, over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, transferring as browned with a slotted spoon to bowl with onion mixture. Return lamb and onion mixture to kettle and add reserved marinade, demiglace, and jelly. Simmer mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes.
- Peel, quarter, and core quinces. Cut quarters lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. With a vegetable peeler remove zest from lemon in lengthwise strips. Diagonally cut celery ribs into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

The Royal Decameron Club Caribbean was a perfect getaway for us. It is just off the main highway, but quiet and comfortable. It is not fancy, but it is clean and beautifully landscaped. If you are looking for a resort with fancy amenities, this is not the place for you.
We were in a garden view cottage. Think of these as your summer cottage with outdated furniture and decor. However, they were very spacious and kept very clean. There is a little closet-like room with an iron and ironing board and lots of space for clothes, suitcases, shoes, etc.
RDCC is in an area where you can leave the resort and go to some local shops. Try Pauline's Shop just outside the gates, on the first corner. Her husband, Bob, runs "Bob's Cool Tours" and we would highly recommend him. Tell him where you would like to go and what you want to see and he will do just that for you for a price more reasonable than the tours through the resort. We went to Coyaba gardens (beautiful) and Fern Gully (beautiful tropical rainforest), stopped briefly in Ocho Rios to shop, on to Dunn's River Falls, through the town of St. Ann's and stopped at Scotchie's for excellent jerk pork and chicken. We were gone for about 4 hours and it was $70 US for both of us.
The resort itself is on a decent strip of beach. This is one of the cleanest beaches that we have seen - staff were constantly raking and picking up garbage.
Included with your package are many watersports, including a glass bottom boat trip and snorkelling trips. Because it was very windy and the red & yellow flag was up every day, we were only able to get out once snorkelling, but it was to a nice section of reef. There is reef visible from the hotel, but it was too choppy to try and swim out there when we were visiting.
The food here is good, not gourmet, but we always found something good to eat. The main buffet Pick A Peppa has theme nights. The Jasmine Delta restaurant (to the extreme right if you are facing the ocean) is open 12-5 as a snack bar, and then as an a la carte restaurant at night. They have a lunch menu with the typical burgers, fries, pizza, etc, but they also have daily chef's specials like curry goat, rice & peas, jerk wings, soups, etc.
There is live music at the restaurant/bar during lunch and dinner. There is nighly entertainment which is very loud, so take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.
There are cats & kittens at this resort and they live under the deck & bushes by the Jasmine Delta snack bar. They are skittish, but learned that when we came to our chairs down there, we were bringing food and water. The staff tolerate them, but we don't think they feed them.
This end of the beach is very quiet, as is the adult only pool. There are lots of activities around the main pool and loud music if you are looking for more action.

BIG NEWS! Obscenely large news!
We have updates about guests, new events, the Dragon Con Parade on Atlanta's CW, and a new feature that is explained over at https://dragoncon.tv/faq … enjoy 🙂
Our next Dragon Con Live is going to be very, very live … and you can be a part of the show.
Thursday, June 16 at The Garage (Sandbox ATL)
848 Spring St. NW, Atlanta, GA 30308
Sandbox ATL and DragonConTV proudly present this episode of Dragon Con Live in front of a live studio audience*.
* yeah, that's you
New in 2016, these monthly live broadcasts are a way to keep fans informed about all things Dragon Con before the show starts. June's episode is the follow-up to our successful debut at MomoCon.
This episode is all about technology, so we're bring some kick-ass robots into the heart of Atlanta's tech scene. Our guests are the members of Chaos Corp, regular participants at Dragon Con's Robot Battles.
Their robots Bombshell and Short Fuse can be seen this summer on ABC's BattleBots, and they'll be bringing some serious bot to The Garage. We'll also get a chance to talk to Scott Henderson about the tech that lives in Sandbox ATL, and update all y'all on the latest Dragon Con news.
Dragon Con is the largest, multi-media, popular convention focusing on science fiction & fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film in the universe. This year marks its 30th anniversary with everything happening Sept 2-5 across several hotels in downtown Atlanta.
Doors open at 7:00pm with first come, first serve beverages and snacks. The live broadcast begins at 8:00pm sharp. Admission is free, but you must RSVP at the Sandbox ATL events page. If you can't make it downtown, enjoy the show on-line.
Note that if you're in the audience you'll probably end up on camera at some point in the show (think 'Top Gear' without The Stig, jokes about London traffic, and bad fashion decisions). We ask that you show up, refrain from flash photography, have fun, and remember we're trying to put on an all ages show. Also, steer clear of the killer robots.

Onyx invests in continuous flow following API demand
Denise Bowser, Commercial Director, told in-Pharmatechnologist.com the company has spent £80,000 ($137,000) on equipment for its premises in Sunderland, northeast England citing customer demand for flexibility during process development.
Pharmaceutical clients ask for continuous flow during product R&D, she said, for "a wider range of conditions for certain experiments," particularly surrounding hazardous reactions. "For us it's a good thing to have the technology to give the clients full availability."
She added that continuous flow would make better use of the company's space, give quicker output, and provide greater flexibility in compound manufacturing.
Continuous flow manufacturing – a technique that aims to lower costs and waste by integrating all stages of production – is "a very small area," Bowser told us. The majority of Onyx's API manufacturing will continue to be batch work, she said; "we're just giving our clients further scope for developing using different techniques."
API investment
The equipment purchase comes as part of a wider investment initiative, with Onyx announcing it is increasing its GMP manufacturing capacity with extra vessels, following increased demand for GMP API manufacturing services for drug development.
The company reported a 45% rise in solid-state chemistry-related revenues last year, which it said was driven by early stage campaigns.
In May this year, it completed an API manufacturing deal for US firm Neuronascent, producing a 1kg consignment for use in the neurology company's marketing authorisation submission to the US Food and Drug Administration.
As well as its Sunderland-based laboratories, Onyx has access to seven API sites in India for technology transfer, pilot-scale work, and manufacturing for Phase II through to commercial.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States remains undefeated in the nearly two years since it began settling corporate tax disputes with Canada through a winner-takes-all process popularly known as "baseball arbitration."
Tax lawyers and accountants in both countries said the U.S. Internal Revenue Service had won three of the binding decisions and Canada none. They said the IRS had collected a significant sum of money, possibly in excess of $100 million.
Launched in December 2010, the arbitrations follow the rules for settling salary disputes between Major League Baseball teams and their players. As in baseball, the two parties - revenue agents from the two countries - put forward a figure.
As in baseball, third-party mediators settle disputes by picking the number they judge to be closest to the right answer. In the tax game, that's the amount a company pays. The winning country gets the tax revenue. The losing country goes home empty-handed.
"It's baseball arbitration: One position wins and the other one loses," said Brian Trauman, a principal at Big Four accounting firm KPMG LLP. The cases that have been resolved have "really big dollars at stake," he said.
Now the United States is adding an arbitration clause into tax treaties with other countries, hoping to broaden its winning streak to a global stage.
Companies also prefer such showdowns as government-to-government arbitration can give them quicker tax bill certainty, in some cases allowing them to free up cash reserved for potential tax liabilities.
The arbitration process arises in tax questions involving a multinational company's transfer pricing taxes, where two countries disagree over which of them should collect corporate taxes. Companies can request that countries go to arbitration if revenue agents cannot settle their tax disputes in two years.
In the end, the identities of the companies paying the taxes remain confidential as do the amounts of taxes paid. None of the tax experts consulted would disclose the names of the companies nor the amounts paid in each of the three cases.
The United States has had similar agreements with France since 2004 and Belgium and Germany from 2006, but no cases involving them have gone to "baseball arbitration," the tax experts said.
"Baseball arbitration" clauses are in pending tax treaties with Hungary, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Future treaties with the United Kingdom and Japan may have the same provisions, tax experts said.
The tax arbitration panels are made up of three experts, one chosen by each country and the third by the other two experts. Revenue agents from each country submit a tax bill number to the panel.
Tax experts on both sides said Canada had lost all three disputes because it was effectively trying to hit home runs - seeking too much in taxes during arbitration to realistically win the case.
"Canada has lost three in a row," said Dale Hill, a former manager of Canada's cross-border tax negotiations with the United States and a partner with Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP in Ottawa. "Maybe Canada has been more aggressive," Hill said, but "Canada truly believed they would win."
David Rosenbloom, a Washington, D.C.-based U.S. tax lawyer at Caplin & Drysdale, said the Canada Revenue Agency "has developed over the years a habit of taking really extreme and unwarranted positions. It's almost as though they're unaware arbitration is in the treaty."
Richard McAlonan, who directs the IRS negotiating program, told Reuters this month that the agency had resolved a "handful" of the cases. He declined further comment.
The CRA said in a statement that it prefers to resolve its tax disputes with the United States "at the negotiating table." Going to arbitration "would be the last resort," the CRA said. It declined to comment on the cases, citing confidentiality rules in the treaty.
Canada's losses may mean its revenue agents will be more cautious in future tax negotiations with the United States. The countries negotiate 75 to 100 cases a year, Hill said. "It's going to get tougher for Canada to negotiate," he said.
The tax treaties with Hungary, Luxembourg and Switzerland passed the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 2011. However, Republican Senator Rand Paul has taken advantage of Senate procedures to block the three treaties from going before the full Senate.
A spokeswoman for Paul could not be reached for comment. Paul has previously objected to the treaties' provisions that require more sharing of U.S. taxpayer information.
New treaty arbitration provisions with Switzerland and the UK would especially benefit the pharmaceutical industry, while auto companies would appreciate the provision in a Japanese treaty, said Lorraine Eden, a professor at Texas A&M University.
Companies in both sectors have a lot of transfer pricing tax uncertainty and can face double taxation if unable to force countries into binding arbitration, she said.
UK-based GlaxoSmithKline Plc reached a $3.4 billion transfer pricing settlement with the IRS in 2006. But the UK did not accept the U.S. settlement, and Glaxo faced UK taxes on the same profits, Eden said.
"Would they like the opportunity to go to binding arbitration and settle this? Absolutely," Eden said.

The pool decorations at The Royal Livingstone kick if you walk too close to them. They're zebras — live zebras.
In fact, many wild animals roam about the grounds of this five-star resort in Zambia overlooking Victoria Falls, perhaps the world's most spectacular waterfall. Keep an eye out for cheeky vervet monkeys, which try to snatch cookies and sugar from your room if you do not lock your sliding balcony doors. Regal giraffes pose for tourist photographs near the hotel's entrance. Shy impalas — those lovely African antelopes with lyre-shaped horns — wander by too. But no lions, thank goodness.
Its unfenced location within Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park — where park animals freely come and go on the hotel's grounds — is just one reason The Royal Livingstone ranks among the best hotels around Victoria Falls.
A recent facelift is another advantage. The resort completed a $7 million refurbishment in December 2012, and the colonial-style property is simply gorgeous.
The 173 guestrooms are found in 17 river bank residences along the edge of the Zambezi River, and a red-turbaned butler shows guests to their rooms.
Our corner room on the ground floor had a large, mosquito-screened porch with dark wood furniture and a whirring ceiling fan. The bedroom sported a polished concrete floor, ornate gilt-painted lamps and a plush king bed with down duvet, embroidered in white silk thread with The Royal Livingstone logo. In the evenings, we'd return to our room to find a scented candle lit in the bathroom and white rose petals sprinkled on the bed. As part of the renovation, flat screen televisions, mini-reading lights and free Wi-Fi were also installed in all rooms.
The hotel's main bar and lounge is particularly eye-catching. It is right out of a W. Somerset Maugham novel — complete with an aged rolling bar cart with Waterford crystal glasses, a library of old National Geographic books and vintage suitcases stacked above the shelves of whiskey bottles.
But perhaps the best reason to stay at The Royal Livingstone is that the falls themselves are just a 10-minute walk away. More than a mile across, Victoria Falls is known today as the greatest curtain of falling water in the world. Several times during our three-night stay, we walked along the tree-shaded riverside path from the hotel to different vantage points of the thundering falls. Once, before crossing the narrow Knife Edge Bridge, we donned raincoats to protect ourselves against the drenching spray — it was like walking in pouring rain. Sometimes rainbows painted colorful arcs in the sky — we even spied a double rainbow. And since we were already lodged inside the national park, we didn't have to pay the park/waterfall entrance fee each time.
For a different excursion, we boarded the Royal Livingstone Express vintage steam train one evening and enjoyed an elegant five-course dinner. The meal was prepared and served by the resort's staff. As we clackety-clacked past waving children in a shanty town on the edge of Livingstone, and then through the surrounding Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, we ate in a beautifully restored dining carriage, set with table lamps, damask linens and silver cutlery. Though we kept our eyes peeled, we didn't spot any wildlife — but elephants, warthogs and giraffes have the right of way and, if seen, the train will stop.
The Royal Livingstone put tourism on the map for the town of Livingstone. Built in 2001, it was the first hotel in Livingstone. Today, together with its adjacent sister three-star hotel, Zambezi Sun, it employs 1,000 locals and is the town's largest employer. It also felt good knowing that its parent company, Sun International, donates 2 percent of after-tax income to its "corporate social investment" program in Zambia. Through this community enrichment program, Sun International also started and supports projects such as orphanages and a communal women's farm, which supplies produce for the hotel and fresh veggies for the local village.
Not many hotels can boast a winning combination of wildlife at their doorstep, top-notch accommodations, a philanthropy program and up-close views of one of the seven natural wonders of the world. On our last evening, we strolled down the resort's rolling lawns, past grazing zebras, for sundowners on the deck by the river. Watching the huge clouds of spray from the falls turn gold as the sun set was magical.

Middlesex Health: Equipping paramedics with tools to improve emergency care
About Middlesex Health
Middlesex Health is a nonprofit, acute care community hospital in Middletown, Connecticut. In 2015, Middlesex became the first hospital in Connecticut to join the Mayo Clinic Care Network.
Middlesex Health, a hospital based in Middletown, Connecticut, needed to upgrade the laptops used by paramedics responding to emergencies. Their Panasonic Toughbooks were plagued by battery and bootup failures and weren't stable enough to meet the demands of EMS use, where speed and reliability are critical. Chromebooks with Chrome Enterprise Upgrade provide the rugged hardware and reliable OS needed in high-pressure emergency situations, along with easy management tools.
Chrome Enterprise Results:
- Significantly reduced costs and maintenance for devices
- Reduced device setup time from hours to minutes
- Improved device uptime, since automatic updates eliminate time-consuming patching and updating
12 Chromebooks purchased for less than the cost of one Panasonic Toughbook
"We've had zero failures with the Chromebooks. When they open, they're on, and they're ready to go. They definitely give us a better level of confidence when we're out in the field."—Jim Santacroce, Manager of Emergency Medical Services, Middlesex Health
High performance and reliability in a lightweight device
Middlesex Health's HP 11 G4 EE Chromebooks are lightweight yet tough, with quick bootup times and long battery life that's well matched to long shifts worked by paramedics and ambulance staff. Paramedics can easily access medical records applications through Citrix apps on their Chromebooks.
Chrome OS performs security and software updates automatically, keeping uptime high and reducing maintenance. Paramedics can easily hand off Chromebooks to colleagues as their shifts end; after a user logs out of Chrome, all data is either stored in the cloud or encrypted locally, making the device secure while protecting patient privacy.

LOS ANGELES (Jan. 25, 2012) The evolutionary processes of unicellular and multicellular organisms are continually under debate. John Torday, Ph.D., a lead investigator at Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute (LA BioMed), has recently co-authored a book entitled Evolutionary Biology, Cell-Cell Communication and Complex Disease, which incorporates cell biology into evolutionary biology. Rather than focusing on multicellular organisms, the book concentrates on the cell as the smallest unit of biologic structure and function. This is the first time that evolution has been looked at from the cellular mechanistic perspective, making evolution more accessible and relevant to all of biology and medicine.
According to Dr. Torday, "Understanding evolutionary biology is key to integrating biology. To accomplish this, we need a mechanism for the process of Natural Selection that explains how novelty in vertebrate evolution is generated, how selection pressure has made wings from limbs, lungs from swim bladders, and integrated physiologic regulatory mechanisms like lipid metabolism and respiration, photoreception and circadian rhythms, water balance and erythropoiesis," said Dr. Torday. "Evolutionary-developmental biology provides an opportunity to exploit contemporary cell-molecular developmental biology, yet it has not been used effectively because we don't have an algorithm to convert genes into phenotypes. That leaves a huge gap in evolutionary biology that must be filled to provide plausible answers for how evolution has generated physiologic phenotypes. Since cells generate phenotypes from genes, this is a logical way to understanding evolution that's been 'trumped' by our zeal to reduce everything in biology to genes. Evolution, like cell biology, is a process, not a thing."
Evolutionary Biology, Cell-Cell Communication and Complex Disease is focused on the scientific evidence that unicellular organisms are the origins of metazoans, and that metabolic cellular cooperativity is the central evolutionary mechanism being selected for. By examining the Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) that mediate these processes, the mechanisms underlying the evolution of a particular group of organisms (phylogeny) using the developmental history of an individual organism (ontogeny) can be leveraged, and visa versa, filling in the missing links using a mathematical algorithm like the Periodic Table.
The power of this novel approach is exemplified by focusing on GRNs that mediate cell-cell communication common to both ontogeny and phylogeny (independent of time), merging them into one common data set to determine the ultimate physiologic principles. The concept of cell-cell communication spans all of biology, from its initial conditions to preventive medicine. Evolutionary Biology will clarify this perspective, providing insights to experimental evolution.
In addition to being a lead investigator at LA BioMed, Dr. Torday is a Professor of Pediatrics and Obstetrics/Gynecology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. He is a pioneer in the field of developmental lung biology, with current research interests in the developmental/phylogenetic origins of lung cell phenotypic heterogeneity and the gene regulatory network determinants of lung evolution. He is particularly interested in using evolutionary biology of the lung as an approach to clinical diagnosis and treatment of chronic lung disease, and as a prototype for predictive and preventive medicine.
