Novartis highlights its strong foundation for long-term, sustainable growth at the third Meet Novartis Management event
- Outlines actions underway to accelerate launch of Entresto®, including further expansion of US primary care field force, and reinforce strong uptake of Cosentyx®
- Highlights leading pipeline of second generation immuno-oncology assets
- Confirms Sandoz on track for 10 biosimilar filings by 2017
- Shows progress on implementation of Alcon growth acceleration plan
Basel, May 25, 2016 - Today Novartis holds its third annual Meet Novartis Management event at its headquarters in Basel, Switzerland, giving investors and analysts the opportunity to meet with more than 20 top executives from Novartis Group, divisions and research. The sessions provide a deeper view into the company's strategy for long-term, sustainable value creation, as well as the key drivers for current and future performance.
"The environment in which we operate is changing, and we are positioning Novartis to thrive in this environment. Our strategy is to sharpen our focus in areas where we are strongest; ensure that we have the global scale to compete profitably across geographies; and have the innovation power to address unmet medical needs. We have a strong foundation for growth with Cosentyx® and Entresto®, as well as leading positions in oncology, eye care and biosimilars. The creation of two business units, Novartis Pharmaceuticals and Novartis Oncology, will increase management focus and speed decision-making in areas that are key to our future growth. With this move, as well as the centralization of manufacturing and integration of drug development announced in January, we are building a more focused, more profitable company that is capable of sustainable growth regardless of external changes in the environment," said Novartis CEO Joseph Jimenez.
In the Pharmaceuticals session, management highlights the strong performance of Entresto in Europe, as well as actions underway to accelerate uptake in the US. The discussion covers the strong Class I recommendation given to Entresto in both US and EU heart failure guidelines, less than a year after regulatory approvals. US guidelines now recommend Entresto as standard of care for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction as an alternative to an ACE inhibitor (ACE) or an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and call for doctors to switch patients with mild to moderate symptoms to Entresto. Following the strong guidelines, Novartis is further expanding the US primary care field force. In Europe, updated guidelines recommend Entresto instead of an ACE or ARB in patients fitting the PARADIGM-HF profile. The guidance underscores the benefits of Entresto for patients to significantly reduce risk of death due to cardiovascular causes or heart failure hospitalization.
In addition, more detail is provided on the FortiHFy clinical trial program, which encompasses over 40 active or planned clinical studies. The studies include pivotal trials with outcomes endpoints as well as a wide range of trials across the world to further characterize the clinical response, generate data regarding the impact on symptoms and quality of life, and systematically collect data in clinical practice.
Pharmaceuticals management also highlights continued strong performance of Cosentyx across its three indications, benefitting from its strong efficacy profile with data up to 3 years in psoriasis and 2 years in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). An extensive clinical program, including a pivotal trial in non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis and head-to-head superiority trials versus Humira in PsA and AS, has been initiated.
Beyond Entresto and Cosentyx, the business unit emphasizes key pipeline projects including RLX030 (serelaxin) for acute heart failure, AMG 334 for migraine, OMB157 (ofatumumab) in multiple sclerosis, RTH258 (brolucizumab) and OAP030 (Fovista®, pegpleranib) in neovascular age-related macular degeneration, and QAW039 (fevipiprant) in asthma.
In the Oncology session, management highlights its development efforts in immuno-oncology (IO), with 15 molecules planned to be in clinic by the end of 2016 (12 of which are potentially first-in-class), and its strategy to win in the second generation of IO treatments. At the same time, the business unit highlights that significant unmet need remains, and we are well positioned with its established portfolio of targeted therapies and proprietary technologies to understand and overcome the pathways in emergent resistance. LEE011, its CDK4/6 inhibitor for first line HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, is another key focal point in the session, following the independent Data Monitoring Committee's decision to stop the Phase III MONALEESA-2 trial early due to positive efficacy results.
In the Sandoz session, management reiterates its commitment to growth with margin expansion, and provides an update on its biosimilars strategy and pipeline. The division has said it would announce a total of 10 new filings between 2015 and 2017. Six have been announced (including the EMA's recent acceptance of the division's biosimilar rituximab file), and Sandoz is on track for the remaining four (epoetin alfa in the US, adalimumab in the US and EU, and rituximab in the US).
In the Alcon session, investors and analysts are able to meet with Mike Ball for the first time since he joined the company, and get more insight into his perspective on the business and the growth acceleration plan. Management highlights progress in accelerating innovation, with the launch of UltraSertTM and PanOptix® across multiple regions, development of ClareonTM on track, closing of three business development deals in 60 days, and execution of promotional programs behind key contact lens brands.
Similarly, in the NIBR session, investors and analysts have the opportunity to meet with new leadership, including Jay Bradner, and understand the new focus and expertise he brings to the organization. As a well-established center of academic research and thought leadership, NIBR is a competitive advantage for Novartis, with a broad and deep pipeline of approximately 400 assets spanning therapeutic areas with significant unmet needs. Novartis led the industry with five new drugs approved in 2015, four of which originated at NIBR.
Finally, the Group session reinforces the longer term growth prospects for Novartis. We expect to establish new breakthrough medicines, leverage productivity to improve profitability, and execute strong capex discipline and free cash flow management. We expect that this will allow us to continue to increase the dividend while growing the company in a sustainable way.

It also notes that this revenue, together with the revenue generated by the override passed in 2005, will not be greater than 15 percent of the district's total program funding. By law districts cannot ask for more than 25 percent of their total program funding. We don't want to ask for any more than we absolutely need, DeLay said. She mentioned a suggestion she got from another superintendent, which she doesn't think is a bad idea: to include a six or seven year sunset. Cindy Horner was skeptical that that would make a difference in getting the override passed. Myra Westfall agreed. http://roberthenrywizard.pca-plus.com/2016/08/05/a-quick-a-to-z-on-simple-curriculum-vitae-methods/DeLay told the board they didn't need to decide at Tuesday's meeting, but said they will want to have the language figured out by their next business meeting, Aug. 15. Horner pointed out that it's highly unlikely that the state is going to fix the situation with education funding in the next six or seven years.

What is the link between the improvisational capability of Eagle Twin and the long phrase of Sunn O)))'s Slow Music?
Action. Improvisation is a rational and gestural act, differential in nature, rolling forward from point to point to point never freezing, eye to eye with it's inevitable end, resigned to this end's possibility, but at the same time receptive for opportunities to build and sustain its passage in time. The improviser must communicate, must subjugate the ego in order to allow for the dual nature of the improvisational act- too much self, and the improvisation collapses into masturbatory wang-noodlry. But also the improviser must assert her or his self, must seize the momentary points in the music's current, and again the dual nature of improvisation manifests itself in this aspect of the act: the improviser must at once listen and react, flickering between the two, transient and finite in time at once. Improvisation is not consumption, it does not destroy the line of music in the current of time. And so is determined the long phrase of Sunn O))). Sunn O)))'s human-plectrums are the improvisers, finite in articulation, but transient in their wash of wave forms.
In both cases, the long phrase of Sunn O))) and the improvisation of Eagle Twin, the multiple contingencies of language slough away, so deterring the naturalization process of the unhealthy signs that infest our daily symbolic geography. Improvisation and the long phrase of slow music exist in the indicative mode, at unity gain of meaning. In nature, improvisation and the long phrase share the characteristic of a rational and gestural dialog, a dialog which roots both in the indicative, factual mode, and in so doing fortifies each against the crippling myth-making/marketing processes that terribly shimmer out in all directions of our daily lives. This is not to say that the performances of Sunn O))) and Eagle Twin cannot be recorded, reproduced, and distributed, exactly that has happened, and with the fierce-some marketing force of Southern Lord Records brought full to bear in both ensembles' histories. But live, on a stage in a town in Illinois, plaster and paint flaking off the walls, under an electric storm in full panorama, in every direction flashes and ground strikes, a fire fly tracing loops over the back of your hand, they are unrobbable by the naturalizing, parasitic processes of 2nd significations.

Magnesium plays a crucial role in assisting over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Without magnesium, your body cannot function.
When it comes to hair loss, magnesium supports protein synthesis, which directly affects hair follicles and its healthy growth cycle.
Magnesium oil for hair loss can also be used as an effective treatment for removing excessive calcium build-on on the scalp, thus clearing clogged follicle pores and promoting essential nutrition to follicles.
This recipe is a simple yet effective way of using topical magnesium oil for hair loss at home.
- Magnesium oil spray
- Derma needle roller (to increase the topical absorption)
- Spray a few spritzes of magnesium oil on the scalp, especially the thinning spots
- Leave it up to 20 minutes
- Rinse the area well
How long?
Use 3 times a week max.
NOTE: While most people use magnesium oil spray for various uses without any problems, we noticed some people experience itchy or burning sensations. Some of those reviewers report that the effects dissipate with a continuous use for a period of time, while others are not simple a big fan of such sensations.

Would like to start a dialogue to brainstorm about how we might "Strategic Partnerships" to market our services a real estate consultants. My first thought is to help buyers and of course charge the buyer a consulting fee as services are performed. Upon closing, I, as consultant and broker would authorize the title company to give buyer broker commissions to the buyer. As part of my written buyers agreement, the buyer would agree to give a small donation to the strategic partner. It might be a donation of $100 or even $500 dollars to the strategic partner, which ever amount has been discussed witht th strategic partner and is agreeable with the buyer.
Possible strategic partners could be non-profit organizations, associations, religious organizations, credit unions, etc. The benefit to a credit union or other lender would possibly be funds going to the buyer for a larger down payment. The Freezman might know about this. Do lenders allow the commission rebate to be applied to the down payment? Must it be disclosed in advance?
The strategic partner is going to be concerned about lending their name to a for-profit endeavor and would be concerned about reputation, therefore a good plan must be developed and well presented to the strategic partner. It must look reputable and well planned.
It mighy be a good idea to put a link button on my website entitled "Strategic Partnerships"
Would like to start a continuing dialogue on this subject. Your thoughts please.

3 Healthy AF Thanksgiving Recipes We Love!
For the crust:
1 2/3 cups walnuts
1 cup pitted dates (soaked first if they are especially hard/not moist)
1/8 cup agave nectar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup rolled oats
For the filling:
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk (full-fat will)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice or cloves
(or use 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
First, prepare the crust. In a food processor, process the walnuts, dates, agave nectar, and vanilla until the walnuts and dates are well broken down and you have a sticky mixture. Add the rolled oats and pulse until they are incorporated.
Press the mixture into a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Use your fingers to make sure the pan crust is evenly distributed.
Next, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, mix together the pumpkin, coconut milk, sucanat, eggs, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, allspice or cloves, and salt. Mix very well. Pour the mixture over the crust. Alternatively, I like to rinse out the food processor and mix the filling right in the food processor. No need to dirty another bowl, right?!
Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set, about 40-50 minutes. Allow to cool fully at room temperature before cutting into bars and serving. Enjoy!
- 2 tablespoons olive oil + more for greasing the baking dish + more for drizzling over the top
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
- 2 medium cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
- 1/2 cup dry-ish white wine (I like Sauv Blanc for both cooking and drinking; Chardonnay would work well too)
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 cups uncooked wild rice blend (I prefer a blend of 50% wild rice and 50% brown rice)
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed well
- 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries
- 1 cup raw pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley + 1/4 cup more for topping after baking
- 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, minced
- Place a large pot over medium heat. Add the oil. When hot, add the onions and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the apples, garlic, thyme, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for one more minute. Stir in wine, then add broth. Bring to a boil. Stir in the wild rice blend and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, until the rice is tender, about 35 minutes. Stir in the quinoa and cover again. Cook until the quinoa is tender, about 15 more minutes. Stir in the cranberries, pecans, 1/2 cup parsley, and sage. Taste and add additional salt if desired. Remove from heat.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Rub a large (9-inch x 13-inch is best) casserole dish with a little olive oil. Lightly scoop the rice mixture into the casserole dish, lightly mounding it instead of mashing it down.
Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and sprinkle with remaining chopped parsley.
- Heaping ½ cup raw cashews, soaked for 30 minutes or overnight
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or water)
- 3 medium onions, divided
- 3 tbsp whole grain bread crumbs (sub gluten-free bread crumbs for gluten-free)
- 3 tbsp flour (I used gluten-free oat flour)
- 2¼ tsp salt (divided)
- 2 lbs frozen cut green beans
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2-8oz packages sliced mushrooms, chopped
- Pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (sub tamari for gluten-free)
- ¼ cup dry white wine (I used chardonnay)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Place cashews in a bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside to soak for 30 minutes or overnight. (If you have a nutribullet or high speed blender, 10 minutes of soaking is fine.)
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 475F.
- Thinly slice two of the onions, setting aside the other onion for later. Combined sliced onions with bread crumbs, flour and ¾ tsp salt in a large bowl, tossing to combine. Be sure to separate each individual onion piece. Spread onions in an even layer on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray or lined with a Silipat. Spray once again with cooking spray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through. Watch carefully to make sure they don't burn towards the end of cooking. Once onions are done, remove from oven and lower oven heat to 350F for casserole.
- Bring a large pot with two inches of water to a boil. Once boiling add green beans. Bring back to a boil (this may take a while) and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain and run cold water over green beans to stop cooking. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Chop remaining onion. Once hot, ad to pan and cook for about five minutes before adding garlic and mushrooms. Cook for another ten minutes, stirring often. Add nutmeg, soy sauce, white wine, 1½ tsp salt, and pepper. (It will taste salty, that's ok!). Simmer for about five minutes.
- Blend soaked cashews with almond milk in a blender or food processor (I used my nutribullet) until completely smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Stir in cashew cream and ¼ of the baked onions. Stir in cooked green beans.
- Spread mixture into a large casserole dish. Top with remaining baked onions. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes (if onions are on the crispier side, you can cover with foil for first half of cooking.) Serve hot!
To make this dish ahead of time, make the sauce and the green beans then store in separate containers in the fridge. The next day, bake the onions and combine everything per the recipe.

The NRC has issued the final license termination for the NRC license 06-00217-06 formerly held by the ABB, Inc. (ABB) complex materials site located in Windsor in north central Connecticut. The site was originally owned by Combustion Engineering, Inc. (CE). Although CE was acquired by ABB in 1990, the site is still referred to as the CE Windsor site. The CE Windsor site consisted of soils, buildings, and equipment that were contaminated with uranium and by-product material from operations that occurred from the 1950s until 2001. The site was used to manufacture commercial and U.S. Navy nuclear fuels and, at various times, was used to conduct and support research and development. Activities at the site started in 1955 with an Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) contract to begin research, development, and manufacturing of nuclear fuel for the U.S. Navy. These activities included the construction, testing, and operation of a U.S. Naval test reactor.
The CE Windsor site is 243 ha [600 ac] located in Windsor, Connecticut, approximately 13 km [8 mi] north of Hartford, Connecticut. The site is generally surrounded by heavily wooded sections and agricultural land. It is bounded by the Farmington River to the northwest; a landfill and recycling center to the north; forests, housing, and commercial developments to the east; agricultural and commercial land to the south; and a sand and gravel quarry to the west.
In addition to the fuel fabrication building and the nuclear manufacturing warehouse used for nuclear fuel manufacturing, the CE Windsor site included nuclear laboratories with approximately 5575 m² [60,000 ft²] of floor space, a nuclear test building with 1395 m² [15,000 ft²] of floor space, the Kreisinger development laboratory with 5575 m² [60,000 ft²] of floor space, a storage building, and three ponds: Great Pond, Small Pond, and Goodwin Pond.
ABB submitted a site-wide decommissioning plan (DP) and DP Revision 1 in 2003. The fuel fabrication building, the nuclear test building, and the nuclear laboratories were remediated in 2005 and contaminated materials were shipped to a licensed disposal facility. Final status survey reports (FSSRs) were submitted by ABB to the NRC during 2005-2007. Confirmatory surveys by ORISE and NRC were completed in 2008; and the NRC approved a partial site release in January 2009 for 365 acres of the site. A public meeting was held in Windsor in March 2009 to discuss the partial site release and future NRC oversight activities for the Windsor site.
In January 2008, ABB submitted a revision to DP Rev. 1 that detailed the proposed decommissioning activities for the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) areas. ABB revised this DP to incorporate additional information requested by the NRC, resubmitted it in December 2008, and was approved by the NRC in July 2009. This DP Rev. 1 authorized ABB to conduct remediation for the remainder of the impacted areas of the site, including FUSRAP areas, except for the site brook and debris piles. ABB submitted DP Rev. 2 in February 2010 that contained information for decommissioning the site brook and debris piles. It also included site-specific derived concentration guideline levels for thorium and radium. An Environmental Assessment and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for DP Rev. 2 was published in the Federal Register in May 2011. DP Rev. 2 was approved by the NRC in June 2011.
Site remediation work for the remainder of the facility was completed in December 2011. A total of seven FSSRs were submitted to the NRC by ABB from July 2011 through May 2012. On September 9, 2013, the NRC completed its review and formally terminated the site radioactive materials license.
Since 2006, RSCS participated on the team of contractors for this decommissioning project. RSCS provided junior and senior health physics technicians who provided for several radiological control functions, including contamination control, area posting, area radiological monitoring, radiological release of materials, surface surveys for radiological characterization, radiological exposure tracking, routine radiological surveys of structures, equipment, laboratories and work areas, and final status surveys and documentation. RSCS also provided health physics professionals to audit the Radiation Protection Program under which decommissioning activities were performed, and to coordinate functions related to packaging and controlling the release of radioactive waste.
The ABB Radioactive Materials License 06-00217-06 was officially terminated 9/9/13 by the NRC. Surveys performed by RSCS were compiled into Final Status Survey Reports that were submitted in support of this termination, and resulted in the following NRC finding:
"the NRC staff has determined, in accordance with 10 CFR 30.36(k), that: (1) licensed material has been properly disposed; (2) reasonable effort has been made to eliminate residual radioactive contamination; (3) ABB has submitted site radiological survey and other information that demonstrates that the site is suitable for release in accordance with the criteria for decommissioning in 10 CFR Part 20, Subpart E; and (4) records required by 30.51(d) and 30.51(f) have been received by the NRC. Therefore, the NRC has determined that the site is suitable for release for unrestricted use."

This unique Saitek's subwoofer sound system offers notebook users the chance to appreciate bass frequency in a size of a CD in diameter.
The cable is wound up around the subwoofer much like the string on a yo-yo and is split between the USB connector which powers the amplifier and the 3.5mm audio jack.
It works best with machines that have a dedicated subwoofer output, which means that you really need a notebook capable of 5.1-channel audio.
With an effective output of 2W the PZ09A won't make the floor shake, but considering that it only costs £20.98 inc VAT you wouldn't expect it to. Overall the PZ09A is yet another gadget, but one that actually serves a purpose and a useful one at that.

There is a great need to adapt Ayurveda to our individual environments and situations while remaining true to the system. The failure to adapt Ayurveda to your local culture will result in mediocre, mixed results, or even failure. If you live in a desert environment like Arizona or North Africa then the same advise you read will need to be adapted differently in Montana or Northern Europe. The primary lesson that I am learning from years of practicing Ayurveda is to use intelligence in understanding the reasons behind any therapy or treatment. It is now more than 23 years since I began to work professionally with people in the healing arts.
My teaching of Ayurveda professionally in Europe since 1996 has been based on my experience as a practitioner. Of course I read the Ayurvedic classics, and of course I have been introduced to Ayurveda through the writings of Dr Lad, Dr Svoboda and David Frawley. However, I was lucky enough to be living in India when their books came out and I was already using Ayurvedic medicines to treat problems without really knowing anything about the system. Thus, my whole approach to teaching is practical and based on personal experience - you do not get much second hand information from me. I have my current practice side by side with my school and I remain faithful to the traditional application of Ayurveda in both my practice and with my students. If you want an experienced teacher that has thousands of clinical cases in their memory while answering your questions, look no further. Why students choose to study with people who only have theoretical knowledge is really beyond me. Ayurveda is first and foremost a practical system. See my full CV here.

Uneven skin tone can be one of the most frustrating cosmetic issues to treat. It may develop for different reasons, and it can occur on just your face or your entire body. With careful treatment of your problem areas, you can get even and smooth skin from head to toe.
Microdermabrasion is mostly used to remove rough and dry areas from the skin by abruptly exfoliating dead skin cells, and many people overlook its ability to improve poor pigmentation. Scars and uneven tone occur as a result of damaged skin on the most superficial layers. For some people, skin does not exfoliate itself naturally as it should. By having your skin scrubbed with microdermabrasion, you are able to remove the unnecessary layers of dead skin to reveal clearer skin underneath. This treatment requires different sizes of crystals depending on the sensitivity of the skin in order to be performed safely and effectively.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are another form of exfoliation that also work to remove layers of dead skin. Compared to microdermabrasion, chemical peels work more deeply to penetrate more layers of skin at a time. Like microdermabrasion, most chemical peels can be used on the body as well as the face. There are many different types of chemical peels available from very mild to extremely powerful. They work by utilizing acid to peel away and remove excess skin. Because of how severely they can affect the skin, chemical peels should be performed by or with the help of a professional.
Laser Treatment
Laser treatment is another alternative in treating skin pigmentation issues. Like the previous methods, laser procedures can be performed on the face as well as various locations on the body. There are many types of laser treatments available to treat a variety of problems. Luckily, because there is a range of different types, laser treatment can be performed safely for all skin types and colours. Lasers work to target highly pigmented cells in the skin, and the excess melanin is eventually absorbed into the body with each successive treatment. The result is the pigmented skin takes on the appearance of the healthy skin surrounding it.
For pigmentation problems on the face, a facial is a simple and easy method to target just this part of your skin. There are many procedures you can receive in your facial such as serums, steam treatments, clay masques, extraction, creams and many more. The benefit of targeting just the skin on your face is that you will likely see results much sooner than full-body treatments. Facial pigmentation treatments usually require less visits in general, and you can even search online for facial promotions to find discounts on your treatment.
As common as pigmentation problems are, there are effective treatments that can easily treat this issue. No matter how you decide to solve your skin problem, there are various options for pigmentation treatment in Singapore. Speak with a specialist to determine the methods that will be best for your specific skin type.

Code for Charlotte starts with community; specifically, our community of volunteers, our community leaders and participants who inform our work. It's no surprise that the first departments within city government that we formed partnerships with were Neighborhood and Business Services and Innovation and Technology. Once we started reaching outside City Hall it was a natural to form partnerships with coworking spaces like Industry Coworking, Packard Place and Hygge. Not to mention the great work being done by Queen City Forward and Digi-bridge and how our partnerships have helped us become a part of our community and provide technical mentorship and listen to what is needed.
As we have grown, we have been able to partner with Historic Westend Partners to listen to the needs of that community to learn what we can do to help meet their access point to government and the community. To that end, we started to build a relationship with Hip Hop University and QC Family Tree. Two great organizations serving their community in the westside of Charlotte.
There is so much talent and treasure in this wonderful city that we have only begun to understand. And when we begin to really make it about community and understanding each other that is when the real magic begins. If you think you have a way that Code for Charlotte can give back to our community, please reach out.

Westhill boys basketball loses at Greenwich
GREENWICH -- Tempo so often dictates the outcome of a game in basketball. The team that establishes its style of play more often than not ends up on the winning end.
As was the case in Friday's FCIAC showdown between Greenwich and Westhill, as the Cardinals were able to slow down the up-tempo Vikings long enough hold on for a 67-51 home victory, their first of the season.
"We kind of allowed Greenwich to have us play the game they wanted us to play," Westhill head coach Howard White said.
Greenwich, using its immense high advantage, forced the Vikings to play in a half-court set, disrupting Westhill's offensive rhythm. The Cardinal's front court combination of 6-foot-8 Clay Graham (20 points) and 6-foot-10 Al Azulphar (14 points, 17 rebounds) were intimidating forces on the blocks, making Westhill adjust most of its first-half shots.
"Our big guys dominated, which they're going to have to do if we're going to do anything in our league," Cardinal head coach Bill Brehm said.
Their effect left the Vikings ice cold in the second quarter as Greenwich held Westhill to just one field goal and four points in the period.
Sports Videos
"My guys allowed their size to intimidate their shots," White said.
Greenwich held Westhill to just 11 points in the first half, as the Cardinals built 15-point halftime lead. Greenwich, coming off a disappointing loss to Brien McMahon in the season opener, made it a point to settle into its offensive sets and work the ball inside-out.
"When we run our sets offensively, there's no way most teams can stop us if we pound it inside," Brehm said.
After a slow first quarter in which the Cardinals mustered a five-point lead, Greenwich settled in with a little help from its bench. Senior point guard Mike Lefflbine sparked the team to start the second quarter, igniting a 14-0 run with an assist to Graham and an easy lay-up off a hustle rebound -- his only points of the game.
"He certainly brings the intensity and that's what we need -- a leader with intensity," Brehm said. "He definitely brings that spark."
Greenwich took further control of the game early in the second half, extending its lead to 20, 35-15, when senior co-captain Aminu Tedla completed a 3-point-play after being fouled in transition. However, Westhill's guards were able to turn up the tempo on Greenwich and chip away at the lead, behind the play of sophomore point guard Tony Dobbinson (19 points).
"Our basketball acumen has to get better," Brehm said of his team letting Westhill dictate the flow of a game they had in hand.
"That's not easy to do, control tempo, but we need to learn to do that.
After scoring just 11 first-half points, the Viking exploded for 24 in fourth quarter behind five 3-pointers, three from Dobbinson. The sophomore's third trifecta of the quarter, which came off a third-chance opportunity, cut Greenwich's lead to 58-46 with just over three minutes to play.
"We're not going to take one game and put our heads down," White said. "The effort they showed in the second half is exactly what I know they're capable of the rest of the season."

My 2018 // Happy New YearRead Now
And just like that *snap* 2018 is over. This year has been a time of growth and change. I have learned from new experiences and have gone farther than I could have ever imagined. I am so excited to see what 2019 has in store for me.
This is the (2nd annual 🎉) collection of photos and videos from my year. This not only allows me to go back and see myself grow throughout the years, but everyone gets to see my year too and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! You also get to see that I do in fact own more than 3 outfits!
Thank you to everyone who has supported me this year and made it so amazing!
Happy New Year!
Check out these 2018 blog posts to see highlights from my year:
I just finished one Hell of a semester at Ohio University. After finishing summer classes, I immediately went straight into fall semester of my second year (technically junior credit wise class standing). I was also going in with a new leadership role as president and campus correspondent for Her Campus, an online magazine. I had plans and ideas and was ready to attack the semester. Little did I know this would be a semester full of growth, learning, odd interactions, and the cutting out of major negativity and toxicity in my life. I faced moments of stress and defeat, but saw joy and strength come in return. I have been extremely absent on my own blog with the amount of work I went through this semester, so as promised, here is a recap of my entire past semester:
I came into fall semester as an RA alternate meaning that I could be hired at any point or time up until around April of 2019. I was lucky enough to be picked to attend RA summer training that took place 2 weeks before the school year began. Going through training put me at the top of the list of other alternates when it came to hiring an RA mid semester. After training, it was ultimately a waiting game to see who and when the alternates who received training would be offered a position. In the meantime, I lived in Bryan Hall with a random roommate (who deserves her own blog post, but we'll save that for another day...).
Classes began August 27th. I would be taking 18 credit hours this semester with my last two core journalism classes in the workload. Starting the semester, I felt like I could handle the added stress and pressure of the difficult course-load and figured I knew enough college "tips" to get me through. Wow I was wrong, classes were difficult and took a lot of time. I also felt this was a hard semester because there wasn't a class that really stuck out to me as one that I enjoyed and loved going to.
With RA training and my first week of classes over, my boyfriend Vinny came down to OU to visit. We had an amazing time spending the long Labor Day weekend together eating, meeting friends and I took Vinny hammocking for his first time, but also we mainly just took a lot of naps.
As the semester continued, I kept grinding on with my school work. At this point of the semester, I was working hard to improve the Ohio University chapter of Her Campus. With many bumps along the way, a completely new team of writers, weekly meetings, emails and events, the work paid off. This semester I edited and published 106 articles and wrote 19 of those articles.
At the beginning of October, Vinny came down for another visit (this time with less naps). After an amazing weekend, I was saddened to go back to the reality of classes, my roommate and the waiting game of becoming an RA.
On October 25th, I was walking to my car (I honestly don't remember why) talking on the phone with my mom about the RA winter training that I was offered to do as an alternate earlier in the morning. I noticed that my Apple watch started vibrating out of control. When I finally looked down I saw the email offering me a position as an RA. My watch was going out of control because housing called me to offer me a position instead of RA alternate winter training, along with an email telling me the complex I was hired in. This job honestly saved me. I personally hated being in my room, did not enjoy who I had been living with and was unable to sleep at night with the stress of what I would do for housing in the future year if I was not hired.
Due to being hired the Thursday before HallOUween weekend, I was still able to go to the Court Street Block Party and enjoy the weekend with my friends. I went as Post Malone (and yes it was very scary how accurate the costume was). The Sunday and Monday following the weekend I spent packing my entire room and on Tuesday I got the keys to my new dorm (WHICH HAS ITS OWN BATHROOM!) and moved everything I owned in one day.
The week following was insane! The day of Halloween I had my first staff meeting with a meeting following that went over all of the information I would need, the site with our paperwork and the requirements I would need to meet by the end of the semester. I quickly put up my "about me" board and then went home for my birthday (which was planned and my supervisor allowed me to go!) I spent my first night back feasting on Chick-fil-A and going shopping at Target and the local craft store. The day of my birthday my family spent time exploring Stone Garden Farm & Village in Richfield, OH and the Everett Covered Bridge in Peninsula, OH and then got a late lunch/early dinner before heading home for cake and gifts. After a fun weekend home I held my first floor meeting with my new residents so that we all had a chance to meet each other!
Only a short two weeks later, I went home again for Thanksgiving break. Here are some photos from my time spent at home:
Another two short weeks later and I was home once again for an incredibly busy weekend home right before finals week. It was a stressful week leading up to coming home with closing floor meetings, the last Her Campus meeting of the semester, the last staff meeting of the semester and making sure that I worked on the FOUR final papers that were due the Tuesday of finals week, but it was all worth it to have a weekend off. Saturday was a full day spent celebrating Vinny's graduation!!! And then off to a holiday party for his new job.
Finals week was stressful and tiring as per usual, but rewarding since my official grades for the semester were four A's and two A-'s putting me on the Dean's list for the 3rd semester in a row!
Closing the dorm down as an RA was actually fast with only minor problems! My staff spent the next morning eating brunch and giving our secret Santa gifts away before we were released to go home. I have absolutely loved the time I have spent as an RA and cannot wait to continue next semester and the following year.
As of December 20th, it was announced that Her Campus Ohio U has returned to Pink Level chapter status and I couldn't be more proud of all the hard work everyone did to make it possible.
As for this first week home, I've spent my time relaxing before I begin scholarship and internship applications. I'm looking forward to return to Athens early for more RA training and for my classes to begin. I'm excited to be moving onto a better semester with better, exciting classes, amazing friends who have my back and support me endlessly and a better, improved me ❤
Long time, no blog. I haven't been too active on my own blog and I apologize. I have been quite busy this summer. To kick off my blog for this coming fall semester, I decided to give a recap of what I've been up to this summer.
This summer, I had a remote internship as a social media intern at a law recruiting company. I worked with Her Campus Nationals in becoming the new president and campus correspondent for Ohio University's Her Campus. I also took 9 credit hours online through Ohio University. These three things combined kept me quite occupied.
I also started seeing someone new! Among many dates, including an Indian's game, going to the drive-in and the Beyoncé and Jay-Z concert, I spent many summer nights busy with my new boyfriend.
I was privileged enough to be invited to work as a member of JCrew for the E.W. Scripps High School Journalism Workshop at Ohio University this past July. I have attended this workshop as a student the past two years, which helped me determine that I wanted to go to OU. Being able to interact with young journalists and seeing the hard work they put into the couple days we were together was so rewarding.
My sister, mom and I took a trip to Niagara Falls, Canada in August before I returned to school. We had an absolute blast and hope to make a girls trip an annual trip.
Currently, I am at Resident Assistant (RA) training as an alternate RA. This means I can be hired from now until April (expect updates!). The days are long, but the training we have received will help exponentially once hired.
I am excited to be back on campus and I am looking forward to classes starting. I cannot wait to see what this year will hold for me!
Canada Trip, Eh 2018Read Now
This summer, my mom, sister and I went on a weekend trip to Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada (to hopefully kickoff an annual summer girls trip). After a "short" drive and a hop into Canada over the peace bridge, we started our weekend of fun. This video showcases the memories we have made and will remember for years to come.
My freshman year of college at Ohio University, I lived in Washington Hall. As summer begins, the hall will be closed for renovations and is set to re-open fall semester 2019. The hall was opened in the fall of 1955 and named in honor of the United States of America's first president, George Washington.
I wanted to be able to take pictures and post them to preserve the pre-renovated dorm since it will never look the same. These photos are from my corner room, 224.
These are from the building itself. Halls, lobby and bathroom. While not the best, this is where memories with new friends were made. Playing games in the lobby late at night, conversations in passing in the halls and the dreaded community showers.
Lastly, these are the writings from the inside of the closets and drawers. While these closets will be removed and thrown away, my roommate and I added our names to the growing list. I hope that future students start a list of names in their closets too.
It was important to me to post these pictures because it shows the history and changes in the building. The names in our closet show when the room was a boys vs. girls room or when it was a double vs. triple sized room. While the future students living in Washington Hall will have new things and new memories in the building, I would not change any of my memories, new friends or ghost experiences. Now if only these walls could talk.

Flood Fest // The Ridges: OURead Now
While eating dinner on a casual Friday night, I received a text message from Ohio University notifying students that classes for Monday were cancelled, "in anticipation of severe weather and potential flooding." Emails from housing soon came in telling students to expect power and water outages and to try and go home if possible. Within moments, in classic Ohio University fashion, Flood Fest was created.
While the weather was poor for most of the weekend, Sunday and Monday turned out to be beautiful, sunny days that were perfect to spend time outside working on homework, hangout with friends and the option to go to a "fest" party was available.
After getting food Sunday afternoon, my friends and I decided to take a walk to see the Hocking River. This was the supposed culprit of potential flooding. The river runs along a bike path (Hockhocking Adena Bikeway) that follows the outer edge of campus. After seeing the height and speed of the river, we started walking on the path. Before we knew it, we were practically on the other side of campus where you are able to see the Ridges (former Athens Lunatic Asylum) in the distance and I noted how I had never been there. My one friend said how cool it was and that she would take me so we decided to make an impromptu climb up and explore the property.
The Ridges is currently owned and used by Ohio University for some classes, offices and storage. The main building is currently the home to the Kennedy Museum of Art. But most importantly, the Ridges is known for the hauntings that happen to go on due to its history as a lunatic asylum (stories can be found with an easy Google search).
I am not going to lie when I say the Ridges are spooky. The black crows, often a symbol of bad luck and death, circling above along with vultures sitting atop buildings gave a very unsettling vibe. The architecture of the buildings gave a "horror movie opening scene" image in my head, and the open windows that should not be open in buildings that are closed off to the public just did not feel right.
We further investigated the property, finding one of the multiple cemeteries with most graves just marked with a patient's number. It was heartbreaking knowing the mistreatment that went on within the walls of the asylum, and the lost souls of those who did not belong in a place like that at all such as veterans suffering PTSD, teens who were considered rebellious and the elderly when family could no longer take care of them. It was an important lesson in how far as a society we have come with mental illness, but is a reminder that there is still plenty of work to be done to improve mental health treatment.
*Disclaimer* We were not trespassing, the Ridges and the surrounding land are open to the public
Pepper spray and meRead Now
Police Magnum OC-17 Pepper Spray in a pink carrying case with a matching pink cat self defense keychain were gifted to me in my Easter basket the spring before my first fall semester at Ohio University. When arriving at school, I had both keychains attached to my lanyard.
Let me set the scene:
It is opening weekend and I had just moved in on Friday. The university plans multiple events for students to meet each other and bond with their roommates. These activities include a comedy show at the Convocation Center, Party at Ping (food, animals, photo booth, caricatures, etc.), academic college welcomes and the president's convocation amongst other activities.
I was going to go to the comedy show with my roommate at the time and planned to head back to the dorm after. She decided to go to a news viewing and was nervous about walking home alone, so I let her borrow my pepper spray and gave it to her before the comedy show.
Before we were let in, security checked our bags and found the pepper spray, saying it could not be taken into the Convocation Center. I took one for the team and took my pepper spray and did not go to the show.
Every since this "event", I left my pepper spray on my desk. I figured that I rarely walked alone when it was dark out and I still had my other defense keychain. I felt safe.
Second semester starts and I feel confident in my classes, dorm situation and overall wellbeing. This all changed when I was getting out of the shower and heard a guy in the bathroom (he was not someone who lived in my dorm and apparently did not understand that it was a women's bathroom). Of course when he heard me he left, but it brought that fear that is always in the back of your mind right into the open. All I would have to defend myself was a plastic defense keychain and frankly I do not think I would have been very successful in defending myself in that situation.
I do not want to become a statistic. I now carry my pepper spray everywhere I go.
It truly is a sad society in which we live in where I need to carry self defense keychains in order to be safe. I noticed when complimenting a girl who had a decorative glitter can of pepper spray that girls should not have to be taught to carry pepper spray in order to protect themselves. Instead, society should be teaching others to not attack each other.
Everyone has that one thing that they are obsessed with whether it is sock monkeys, pandas or cats. To me, my one thing is a cactus.
For anyone who knows me or has stepped foot into my dorm room knows that I like cacti and succulents ... a lot. Everyone reading this (as of January 2018) sees that my website even has a "cactus" theme.
It all started small with buying a cactus and throughout the year I have acquired 3 more succulents and a larger cactus. Along with plants, if there is a cactus version, I buy it or receive it as a gift AKA bags, ornaments, stained glass, laptop cases, note books, note pads, sticky notes, pens, mugs, stickers, pins, pillows, lights, wall art, etc
You name it, and I have it.
You might be thinking, "This girl is crazy," and yeah you would be right,
because I just got a cactus tattoo.
Now before everyone freaks out, let me explain. To me, a cactus is strong, independent, resilient and frankly they don't give a f**k. My first semester of college had some highs, but also definitely had some lows. I had to be what a cactus is in order to complete my first semester successfully with grades that allowed me to be on the Dean's List. By having a cactus on my body, it is a constant reminder to continue to have these qualities day to day. While tattoos may not be for everyone, I love the decision that I made.
After my first semester at Ohio University, I am able to look back to see the memories and success that came with it. Going to college is not only an important time of education and a road to a career, but it is a time to learn about yourself and who you really are as a person.
Making the transition from high school to college was hard but ultimately beneficial. I know things now that I would have never learned without furthering my education at OU. Here are 6 things that I discovered about myself:
1. I can live alone
After a week of classes, my roommate decided to move out due to differing viewpoints that had been assumed to be different before picking each other to room. While I have a new, awesome roommate who moved in the weekend before Thanksgiving, this left me living alone in a double sized dorm for multiple weeks. I learned that I can live completely alone. Yes, everyone is technically living alone and away from their parents when they go to school, but it is different being alone in a room when you had imagined to be living with someone for almost 6 months prior. I didn't have a roommate to depend on if I was locked out or for cleaning the room.
2. I can do my own laundry (barely)
The first time doing laundry completely alone was at OU. While I survived, I try to avoid the situation as much as possible. I went almost all semester without ruining clothes until finals week hit. The university gave everyone 4 free loads of laundry for the week so I decided to do my laundry before coming home for break and wash my blankets. While in the dryer a blanket melted leaving a purple plastic material and many of my clothes.
3. I don't eat as much as I thought
I am on a meal plan that gives 14 meals a week (2 meals a day). I originally thought that this would be just enough when in reality there has been weeks where I have 5-8 meals left over to use in the market because I didn't get a meal in the dining hall.
4. I live in the same couple of outfits
While I brought multiple cute outfit options to school, I find myself gravitating towards the same couple shirts and sweatshirts (a lot of OU apparel). I realized that I live in a clothing cycle and will rotate my clothes and where a lot of the same stuff. Let's be honest, why would I ever think I would wear a sundress running to class? Wearing comfortable clothes is much more manageable and can often double as pajamas if it is a late night.
5. I'm a bed creature
I not only sleep in my bed, I eat, study, watch Netflix, talk to friends, talk on the phone, etc. I personally do not like to study or do homework at a desk. I do my best work while sitting in my bed. I even have a comfy butterfly chair that I rarely sit in. Mostly my friends sit in it while I sit in bed. I just love being in my bed no matter the occasion.
6. I'm a late night shower-er
While living at home, I showered early so that laundry could be done, and so that I could go to bed early or that's what my mom thinks (sorry mom). This first semester, I learned that I love taking a shower late at night. The fact that nobody else rarely showered at that time was also a bonus. Showering marked the end to my evening. I had finished homework and studying for the evening and it was time to get ready for bed.
I hope that everyone has a successful second semester and that even more things are discovered about our own selves.

Name: Talarurus
(Wicker basket tail).
Phonetic: Tal-ah-roo-russ.
Named By: Evgeny Maleev - 1952.
Classification: Chordata, Reptilia, Dinosauria, Onithischia, Thyreophora, Ankylosauria, Ankylosauridae, Ankylosaurinae.
Species: T. plicatospineus (type).
Diet: Herbivore.
Size: Estimated between 4 and 6 meters long.
Known locations: Mongolia - Bayan Shireh Formation.
Time period: Campanian of the Cretaceous.
Fossil representation: Several individuals.
the currently clear exception of Pinacosaurus,
Talarurus is one of
the best represented ankylosaurs
from Asia. Talarurus
was given its
name because the tendons wove around the caudal (tail) vertebrae
like a wicker basket. In life these would have strengthened and
stiffened the tail so that the club on the end could be brought to bear
with even more force. Analysis of the Bayan Shireh Formation
concludes that Talarurus lived in a wetland
environment. This is a
stark contrast to many other ankylosaur genera which have been found in
what were arid environments during the Cretaceous. Like other
ankylosaurs however, Talarurus would have been a
quadrupedal browser
of low growing vegetation.
Talarurus was named, by the famous Russian palaeontologist Evgeny Maleev, who during his career also named other notable dinosaur genera, including Tarbosaurus and Therizinosaurus. Maleev had a genus of ankylosaur, Maleevus, named after him in 1987, and on a more trivial note, this ankylosaur has been found in the same fossil formation as Talarurus, however speculation has been raised that Maleevus may actually be based upon further remains of Talarurus.

'Wind turbines must not be a danger to the public' warns Energy Secretary Ed Davey
Credit: January 31, 2013 | www.thisisnorthdevon.co.uk ~~
The Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change has warned wind farm operators not to let their turbines become a danger to the public after a turbine collapsed near Holsworthy on Sunday.
Ed Davey MP, spoke out in the House of Commons after being asked about the 35-metre turbine collapsing at East Ash Farm, in Bradworthy in the early hours of Sunday.
Mr Davey said: "Clearly, people who develop and run and maintain wind farms, as with any sort of industrial installation, have to make sure that they are fit and aren't a danger to the public.
"Otherwise various authorities will come down on them and they will find themselves liable."
Both Dulas Ltd, the company who installed the turbine, and the Health and Safety Executive are investigating the incident.
Bob Barfoot, from the Devon branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, who is also a planning consultant and engineer, said he has never seen a similar incident occur.
He said: "This is very worrying, you see turbines catch fire or lose blades more regularly but I don't think I have seen one like this before.
"Not having investigated it myself I don't know what has caused it but it has obviously collapsed from the bottom of the tower.
"We are now all just waiting to see the outcome of the investigations which will be revealed at some point.
"I think this will make landowners have second thoughts about installing a turbine though."
