By Year-End 2015, Surveyed European Rheumatologists Anticipate That the Launches of Biosimilar Etanercept and Infliximab Will Sustain Total Patient Shares of These Molecules at the Expense of Humira in the Rheumatoid Arthritis Drug Market
Christopher Comfort, 781-993-2597
Decision Resources, one of the world's leading research and advisory firms for pharmaceutical and healthcare issues, finds that by year-end 2015, surveyed rheumatologists in the EU5 (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) anticipate that the launches of biosimilar etanercept (Amgen/Pfizer/Takeda's Enbrel) and infliximab (Janssen Biotech/Merck/Mitsubishi Tanabe's Remicade) will sustain these molecules' total patient shares at the expense of Abbott/Eisai's Humira in the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) drug market. The two newer TNF-alpha inhibitors, UCB/Astellas's Cimzia and Janssen Biotech/Merck/Mitsubishi Tanabe/Janssen's Simponi will fail to achieve patient shares at the same level of the more established drugs in this class.
The new European Physician & Payer Forum report entitled also finds that Roche/Chugai's Actemra/RoActemra, the most recently launched biologic for the treatment of RA, has gained significant patient share since its approval in Europe in 2009 as survey responses show that it receives similar or greater use than the longer-marketed Orencia (Bristol-Myers Squibb/Ono Pharmaceuticals) and Biogen Idec/Roche/Chugai/Zenyaku Kogyo's Rituxan, Roche's MabThera among respondents' patients in most EU5 countries. By year-end 2015, the expected launches of subcutaneous (SC) formulations of Orencia and RoActemra will increase these brands' current patient shares, and in the case of Orencia, the share of the SC formulation will surpass that of the IV version in all markets under study by year-end 2015.
"Patient shares of the TNF-alpha inhibitors will decline by year-end 2015 despite the availability of discounted biosimilar etanercept and infliximab," said Decision Resources Analyst Iva Holder, Ph.D. "On the strength of their efficacy data and mode of administration, surveyed rheumatologists estimate that 5 to 14 percent of their patients will be treated with tofacitinib (Pfizer/Takeda's Xeljanz), with slightly lower estimates for the second-to-market fostamatinib disodium (AstraZeneca)."
The report also finds that, in addition to potential payer restrictions on patient candidates for Pfizer/Takeda's tofacitinib, physicians' prescribing practices will also determine tofacitinib's place in RA treatment algorithms across the EU5. Despite convincing efficacy data in biologic-naive patients (albeit not from head-to-head trials), more surveyed EU5 rheumatologists will use tofacitinib in patients who have failed treatment with one or two biological agents, than in biologic-naive patients within the first two years following the drug's launch for RA. The 15 percent of surveyed rheumatologists across the EU5 (mostly in Germany and the United Kingdom) who do not expect to prescribe tofacitinib within the first two years of its launch cited a variety of reasons for this decision. Among them, the need for more convincing data on tofacitinib's effect on structural damage is highlighted by 39 percent of these respondents, while 37 percent of anticipated non-prescribers expect to encounter difficulties with funding or reimbursement of the drug in their respective countries. The risk of malignancy, serious and/or opportunistic infections, and lymphopenia feature prominently among physicians' safety-related reasons for not prescribing tofacitinib.

Fabulous 8.6 From 1,493 reviews
Great place for a short trip. As space limited was excellent for an overnight stop or mini break. So central - just beside The Hippodrome, National Portrait Gallery and Chinatown. Leicester Square tube station just across the road. Very easy to walk around main areas of Leicester Square, Covent Garden, SoHo and theatre land even on to Oxford Street without even using tube transport. Would stay again!
Great location, very clean modern room. Bit small but only used the hotel to sleep before leaving early next morning.
no window and no TV, but great location
Cant believe how quite it was for a centre of London hotel.
Great reception, very friendly and organised. Nice and comfortable room in the very best place to be in London. It is a small room but it is very nice. Rooftop bar is an amazing bonus. The only thing I don't recommend is the included breakfast. It was very simple and not many options. It would have been better to look somewhere else for breakfast. Worth going back!

"Whoever welcomes a little child in my name welcomes me." – Jesus (Matthew 18:5)
At Oak Leaf, we value and appreciate Jr. Volunteers. I feel fortunate because I think we have some of the best, hard working middle school students around. Seriously, I don't think at age 12 I was mature enough or motivated enough to arrive at a theater at 5am to put down puzzle piece flooring! But that's what we have – dedicated, non-complaining, supportive Jr. Volunteers. They do a phenomenal job!
A parent of one of these Jr. Volunteers recently reminded me of something majorly important. She said that her child serving at church, serving in the KidVenture area, was more than just a job. More than just an assistant role. More than just sweeping up goldfish or singing a song or preventing johnny jr. from biting the lead teaher (sorry if your kid is named Johnny…it was just for illustration purposes. ha.). For her, it was seeing her child find WORTH, and accomplishment, and learning how to serve others (by watching the adult volunteers). She also spoke of how not too long ago, when a child reached a certain age, they were expected to start providing for the family (farm life). She was not advocating sending our 12 year old sons and daughters in to the work force, but her point hit home. She talked about how it's good for them to learn responsibility….and how the church is an excellent place for them to find worth and value and self esteem – all by serving.
What a great reminder! Hopefully, if your'e an adult volunteer, this gets you fired up. Remember, more than just the preschool or elementary eyes are upon you…there are Jr. Volunteers watching as well…listening to what you teach, watching how you serve, and further forming their theology and attitude towards God and the church.
No pressure, right? 🙂

Unicorn Dart Flight Sets
- Made from polyester
- Five different designs
- Manufactured by Unicorn
- Polyflite branding
- Plus and Xtra shapings
- 'Real Ale' and 'Goal' Manufactured in China
- 'USA Flag', 'Three in a bed' and 'Devil' Produced in England
- Set of three flights
Within our collection of dart flights available here at Sports Fitness you can purchase various patterns of the Xtra and Plus shapes. For example the 'three in a bed' shaft set is created from the Xtra template which is more of an oval shape with a point at the end which means that it has a smaller surface area than the diamond shaped Plus collection. The rounded curve also improves it aerodynamic properties, whereas the larger Plus which has a wide surface area is great for drag resistance. Therefore it is player preference as to which shape to go for.
The Polyflite range of Unicorn dart flights are made from a polyester film to make them more durable. By using a polyester film, the dart flights have an increased level of flexibility to reduce the impact of shock when in play as they are able to flex. However, as they are flexible, they are still tough as they are able to fold comfortably without any force. Plus as they have used a polyester film, the longevity of the flights is lengthened as they do not age as much as those with plasticisers.
Take a look through our drop down menu above and choose the style which most appeals to you now! With only a limited number of each design in stock, we recommend that you place your order for these Unicorn Polyflite Dart Flights fast. Don't forget that you can also shop our extensive range of dart shafts and sharpeners within the sport's category on our site. With rapid UK and global delivery services on offer, you can get your new darts gear shipped directly to your house in no time!

More InformationWe both grew up Africa but met in Basingstoke and then came to Thailand for a few months in 2014 where we met Lucy, an abandoned street dog who we fell in love with and couldn't leave, so we didn't.
Visa requirements here mean that a couple of times a year we need to leave Thailand and because I own a global online marketplace we can work from anywhere with wifi so we travel a lot. Lucy's best friend lives with our neighbour next door so she's well looked after and hapy when we're away.
We're visiting the UK for 6 weeks for Christmas and then a wedding at the end of Jan and would love to see more of the UK during our free time while we're there. As we both love animals house / pet sitting seems like a great idea.
We often look after friends and neighbours pets while they are away but we haven't ever used a site this until now. However, we're clean, tidy, responsible, non smokers and active people so if pet's need walking, grooming or anything for us it's a pleasure not a chore.

|Pizza Pizza
|Wyck goes to Joe's Pizza to make a pick up - of one way or another.
|IC Date
|July 23, 2013
|IC Time
|Wyck, Phil, Isis, Gwydion, Joe, Apple, Zero, Wren Smith, Cherazart, Cross, Clara, Azoun
|Joe's Pizza
Begin Log
"Heya." Joe says to Apple with a grunt, his lips twisted into an amused half smile half smirk. He leans against the bar not far from the colorful haired female, a large mug of beer in hand as he regards her with a glowering bloodshot gaze. Maybe he's hung over.
Apple sits about two stools away from Joe. Joe has stuffs, Apple does not..other than grease stains on her jeans. One on her left elbow, too, and one behind her right ear. (one can see that 'cause she has her hair up in a pony tail/braid thing) "How's Eddie workin' out?" She asks Joe.
Zero ploughs through the door, pushing it open with her shoulder. She has her head turned back behind her, in the process of talking to someone. "Shaved testicles are gross. All testicles are gross. They're like marbles with veins," she says the the person behind her. "Gross. Grossgrossgrossgross... gross!" She jerks her head forwards after that and looks around. "You owe me five thousand pizzas!" she informs... someone. Who knows who she's talking to.
Phil is on the phone as he wanders inside, leaning back against the door to hold it open for Isis to follow him in. "See, that's what I was thinking too. This gig comes together, you're first on my list. If it doesn't-- fuck it, we'll come up with /something/."
Who else would she be embarrassing? Wren, of course. The one following Zero steps inside, rolling her eyes slightly as she says, "Then stop talking about them. If you hate them, then why were you staring at that damn dog licking himself? This whole thing coulda been avoided if you wouldn't have been such a rubber necker," she grunts as she wanders farther in, getting a look around. "Huh.. Nice place.. and no, not five thousand pizzas. We'll get -one-."
Joe's answer to Apple is almost growled, the smirk not leaving his lips. A dark humor at something in those bloodshot eyes, his expression a far cry from pleasant. "I ain' shoved his head in the mens room toilet yet and flushed it on him before kickin' his ass out of the kitchen. So I guess he ain't done too bad yet." he informs her, snorting. Then he's taking another drink of his beer, glancing towards the boisterous new arrivals and grunting in the back of his throat.
Isis makes her way in the door after Phil. She grins as he holds it open for her and she ducks under his arm, leaning against his side as she sort of directs him over toward a table, eyes trailing the room curiously as she meanders in more deeply. The conversation Zero is having draws the redhead's attention and she blinks then snorts softly.
Gwydion ambles in for once all by himself. Hands in two of his pockets and slick new hat on his head. He's walking in just far enough behind Phil and Isis that he wasn't entering with them though he steps quick when he notices them. "Phil, Isis, How goes?"
Phil is not so easily led, though, waving Isis off for a second. "Hey, Nicky, somethin' just came up, I'll call ya later when I actually got something." The phone is stowed, then he takes one look at Zero and Wren and immediately ups the latter's ante. "Hey, staring's fine. When she goes over and gets /involved/--" A quick wave to Gwydion as well, which may be all he has time for before Zero clobbers him with a steel chair.
"Quadruple meat pizza with no testicles or pubes on it!" Zero orders at the room. "And that dog was *gross*. He was sucking at his nutsack like his life depended on it." She purses her lips and makes little sucky-sucky motions at Wren. "Maybe we could pimp him out for pizza money?" she suggests to Wren. Direction shift. Zero points at Apple. "Hey look, she's got a rainbow for hair!" she tells Wren and hops over to Apple. "Don't eat the quadruple meat pizza unless you say no testicles," she says with a bright smile.
Isis glowers at Phil as he waves her off. For that, he doesn't have to worry about Zero. He gets his toe stomped. She huffs and waves at Gwydion. "Fine." She says and moves over to the counter, ordering the LARGEST pizza they have. TWO of them in fact. Double meat, double cheese, sausage, pepperoni, beef, canadian bacon, itallian sausage, what other kind of meat is there... bacon bits... and two pitchers of MT. Dew. "Oh." She points at Phil. "He's paying."
Wren's eyes flick to Phil in passing and she says to him with a groan, "Don't give her ideas!" She follows along after Zero, not so fast to just hop up next to a stranger as the other, and she settles for pulling out a stool next to Zee. She looks to Apple and examines what she can see of her hair and she says, "Yeah, Zee. It's called bleach and manic panic. You buy it in bottles." She props her elbows on the countertop and rubs her face with her hands.
Apple nods happily at what Joe says to her, then blinks, startled, and turns to look at Zero. "Oh...thank you for the directive." She shifts her gaze back to Joe, "I did't know you offered that on your meat pizza's."
Maybe it's a good thing that there's not a single steel chair in the place. The closest thing would be the old bar stools, beyond that it's booths or picnic tables. Joe stands at the bar with a beer in hand, his lips twisted into an almost pained looking expression. Staring at Zero as if she were something foul tracked in on the bottom of somone's shoe after getting too close to a dog. Shaking his head, "The fuck..." he grumbles to himself. Before his attention turns to Apple, "Special requests only. I ain't got enough guys workin' in back to cut them off for every damned meat pizza."
Zero stares at Apple's head for a while, looking this way and that then looks back at Wren. "It's a rainbow!" she declares. But wait, what's this!? Isis came up with a great pizza combo! "Yeah, two of those for us too!" she calls over at Joe or whoever's cooking. She points over at Phil. "And he's paying!" she confirms. Hopefully he's still too busy to notice that she's added her orders to his tab.
Wren stops rubbing her face in time to look over at Zee and see who she indicates as the wallet for today, and then she looks across the bar to Joe with an apologetic look on her face. "Just one," she asks. "And I'll pay.." and to Zero she murmurs, "I'm not buying two. That'd be like.. fifty bucks or something. This isn't fucking Domino's." Her brows give an irritated twitch and she looks away, scowling.
Cherazart has come in off the street and talks on her phone. For whatever reason though she avoids the bar as she steps in. She really avoids the bar.
Cross and Clara arrived! The old man was walking with his arm linked politely in hers, much like a fatherly figure would walk any lady. The old man even held the door open, as he leads Clara inside. "I've been here before with Leila, I enjoyed it." He is saying conversationally to Clara. "Staff seem a bit... colorful." He muses, stepping inside and taking a look around.
"The fuck you lookin' at me for?" Joe asks of Wren with a smirk on his lips. "Tell it to the guy takin' the orders." One could almost think he was glaring. He's on the customers side of the bar after all, just drinking a beer and holding the bar at the back of the room up as if it's something he spends far too much time doing. The bar is easy to avoid. It's all the way at the back of the pizza parlor. Convenient for having something resembling privacy to brood over drinks in the local dive. The minions who are employed to take orders will take the orders, at least the ones that actually follow the menu.
This isn't the first time Phil's been beaten up for his art, nor will it be the last. He tries to pull his foot out of the way, which only halfway succeeds. "The hell I am!" he calls out to Joe, or whoever. Sorry, Zero, no such luck. "C'mon, Isis, they're bustin' my balls here, the least we can do is go say hello."
Clara smiles up at the older man and chuckles "oh colorful is a good way to put it Father, if not for you, not sure I'd be coming back" the lovely brunette says and turns her eyes about the room
Gwydion is standing out of the way a little bit, checking something on his phone as he waits for his turn to order. Pecking at messages he occasionally pauses his tapping to tilt up the brim of hat to scratch his forhead.
Isis glowers at Phil again and humphs softly. She nods to the cook or whoever and nods her head, holding up four fingers and pointing at herself for 2 and then at Zero for two. Then she follows Phil over wherever. Who the hell knows how many giant pizzas poor Phil is going to get stuck with.
"And no testicles!" Zero reminds. She goes over to the brick wall to examine all of the stuff on it. "No busting balls near the pizza!" she exclaims at whoever said that! No extra *cheese* on *her* pizza thank you very much! "Hey Wren, come over here! This stuff is funny."
The old man leads Clara over towards a booth on the right side of the room and settles in there, motioning for her to join him as he gets comfortable and reaches for a menu.
Wren looks somewhat shocked by what Joe says to her, brows sinking a smidge lower on her face, jaw tension and eyes flicking away as she murmurs, "Gee.. Sorry." She props her elbow on the counter again and looks the other way, deciding to watch those who come and go. At least until she hears her name beign called. She slips quietly from her stool and moves over to examine the wall with Zero, eyeing the artwork quietly.
Clara slips in beside Cross and looks about curiously
Apple looks around as the place suddenly fills up, then down at the floor near her stool. She shakes her head a little and hops off said stool, steps over something, then looks at Joe. "Thanks for hiring him."
Cherazart takes note of the right booth. Yes, right in more ways than one. She spots Clara and Cross and begins to head toward them assuming that she wouldn't be interupting their conversation.
Cross chuckles softly at Clara, speaking quietly under his breath towards her, his voice not drifting beyond the booth. Cher, when spotted, gets a wave as the old man motions her over.
Clara looks up and waves at Chera with a smile
Joe doesn't look apologetic in the least at Wren's reaction. The grim man shaking his head a little, beads on the tips of his braids clattering softly as he turns his attention back to his beer. Finishing it in a few heavy gulps.
Cherazart looks over at the bar and yeah, there he is again. She shakes her head and turns her attention back to her tablemates.
Apple carefully wends her way out without ordering a thing.
Phil's tab may well hit double digits by the time all's said and done. At least he's gonna help himself to some more free entertainment along the way, though. "Yeah, me an' Isis only Eiffel Tower people /after/ dinner," he calls to Zero. "I mean, you gotta have standards."
The old one eyed preacher was settled into a booth on the right side of the room, with Cherazart and Clara at the same booth as him. He wasn't talking amidst them yet, but content to have their presence. He does tilt his head when Cherazart speaks to him, and he smiles faintly before murmuring towards his booth.
Clara brushes back her dark hair, tucking it behind her ear with delicate fingers and glances about at the crowd
Cherazart suddenly gasps at her table for a moment. Her eyes go wide and she shakes her head before muttering to her tablemates.
The frenchman walks in and looks about before he steps to the counter for a large meat lovers and a small veggie pizza, "Good Evening Father. Out for dinner tonight? I am just picking up some food for the family." He slaps down some cash to pay for the pies and walks over to greet the old man.
Cross glances up towards Azoun, and tips his head. "Aye, aye, that I am." He says with a smile, "Though we aren't sure if we are stayin' or goin' yet."
Gwydion finally looks up from his phone and heads over to the counter, steping deftly around those who are just waiting and staying behind those who haven't ordered yet, not cutting in line. Cross' table gets a smile and a wave.
Cherazart leans in to whisper to Clara for a moment.
Clara tips her ear to Chera's whisper then nods with a smile
Cross shifts to his feet after his table exchanges words, and he offers a hand to help the ladies up and out of the booth.
Joe shakes his head, "Well fuck." he growls, "Guess I gotta go actually /do/ something." The braided man tosses back his beer and then he sets it down, turning away from the bar to make his way... through the doors leading into the kitchen. That should be reassuring.
Zero stares at the wall for a couple of seconds longer then tugs on Wren's arm. "Is our pizza ready yet?" She seems oblivious to Phil's comment to her and continues to check out the stuff on the wall. "Eiffel tower is two guys and a girl, where the girl is all sucky-sucky while she's getting it from behind and the guys join hands like the Eiffel tower," Zero eventually indicates to Wren. She's a walking en-cy-clo-pedia! "Is our pizza readlly yet!!!???" she demands more insistently.
Isis snorts softly and shakes her head. "You are fucking horrible." She mutters under her breath at Phil. "Sit down so I can sit on your lap." She pokes at him. Her head tilts at Zero's oh so helpful explination. "Uuuh... Don't you get any fucking ideas there mister." She says and pokes Phil in the chest. "Nuuh UH."
Clara stands and leaves the Right Booth.
Azoun nods in understanding to the old holyman, "Ari and Zoe are at the new shop waiting for me to bring them dinner." He seem happier then he has ever been, "Well if your getting out of here, I may as well head out as well." He smiles and nods to Gwydion, "I will see you later, I'm sure." Finally his Pizza arrive and he waves to those around that he knows.
Clara slides with an unconcious grace out of the booth and waits for Cross and Chera to join her
Wren just looks over the pictures for a bit before she says, "I didn't order it. You heard the asshole. We're not eating here. Not going to give my hard-earned money to a fucked up son of a bitch like him," she says calmly, gaze still stuck upon the wall for a moment. When she does look to Zero she says, "I thought that was the Team Venture?" She makes a 'v' with two fingers.
Cross bows his head, "Alright, Azoun. See ye around." He says with a smile, before heading out with the two young ladies. Gwydion would get a wave when the old man noticed him.
Oh, Isis. When will you ever learn? Phil does sit, leaving plenty of room for her to settle in and show off, but not getting ideas? Way too late for that. "Hey, it could work! You just need a strap-on is all, I saw two shops right down the street."
Isis smirks as she settles in onto Phil's lap. She slips an arm around his neck and she shakes her head. "You're about five seconds shy of me dumping your ass.... wait no... an hour shy of me dumping your ass and going to find a more possessive man." She comments to Phil. SUCH a lie.
Zero glances at Wren. "Who's an asshole?" She glances around taking note of various faces then looks back at Wren. "You want me to punch his nuts out?" she asks.
Isis subtly moves her hand down to -cover- Phil's nuts. She's not fondling or anything. Just... she's protective! Those be her babymakers dammit!
There are more than one set of nuts in the place!
"No one," Wren says before she murmurs, "Not like you pay enough attention to ever see anyway," she adds dryly before her eyes narrow slightly and she asks, "Are we gonna get the fuck out of here or what? I'm not buying that shithead's pizza."
Oh. That asshole. Zero gives the remaining balls in the place a final once over just in case she needs to come back and punch them sometime in the future then she grabs Wren's arm and starts to tug the other girl towards the exit. She stops short of exiting though... then squinches one eye shut while making a concentrating expression and shifting her weight outwards a bit.
Gwydion steps between Phil and Zero as he decides on his order and addresses the counter attendant, not dignifying the young lady's tantrum and antics with a response other than obstructing violence, as he orders "Peperoni and Sausage Calzone please. To go."
Who /does/ Wren mean? Probably Joe, maybe Phil. Probably both, actually, they both ran their mouths a lot. Phil, in any case, slips his arms around Isis's waist like it was going out of style. "Hey, at least we'll have leftovers. Or if you leave," he teases right back, "then I will, and you-- I dunno, you can probably get a handout from that Chinese pork place. But I'd just starve if I was you."
Wren isn't as energetic as Zero, so she trudges along behind the other.. and when Zee assumes the position, Wren lifts a hand and pinches over her nose, knowing what's coming next. "Please don't shit yourself," she breathes.
Lady? Who's a lady? <<berrrRRRRRRRRRRRAPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! phst-phst!>> Not Zero, that's for sure. A vile odor permeates the room.
Isis calls out to Wren. "Hey. I toldja he's paying the bill." She points to Phil with her free hand. Then she shrugs slightly. She opens her mouth to say something and then she blinks at the -souuuuuund-. She blinks and stares at the door. She lifts her hand to cover her mouth and nose. "She did -not- just...."
Zero seems pleased with herself and grins at Wren. "Revenge!" she preens. "Want to go to the Waffle House?" The smell doesn't seem to bother her.
Wren looks over to Isis, giving it time.. yeah. There we go. Thanks Zee. She sighs and covers her mouth, turning back to Zee to nod. Then she's walking. Ew, gotta get outta here!
Oh yes she did. Phil knows that sound and he is /not/ in the mood to deal with it this close to dinner. "Will you fuckin' deal with that clown already? I'll make it worth your while." He reaches into his pocket for... something... and conveniently enough, the air conditioning unit kicks in. Let the folks on the street deal with the stench.
And who is Phil saying that /to/, anyway? Probably not Isis. Might be Gwydion, but that doesn't seem quite right, either.
Isis moans. It is NOT a happy sound either. She was just about to eat dinner. Key word. WAS. She turns her head and buries her face against Phil's neck, grabbing his shirt and pulling it up to cover her mouth and nose in it. Ewwwwwww oh that's just disgusting! She whimpers softly while P does his thing. She doesn't even try to sense anything. She knows exactly what's going on. So she just hides... and breathes in yummy fart scented Phil.
Zero glances back over her shoulder at something. A grin plasters itself on her face as she confirms a direct hit but it falters when she looks over at Phil. She scowls at him for a few seconds then turns on her heel and marches out the door. "This place smells like old jizz. I hate it!" she cries before the door closes behind her.
Gwydion stands at the counter still, aloof and trying to seem unaffected. Long ago having adopted a policy of don't feed the trolls.
Wren nods to what Zero says and she quickly makes her way out.
Of the two of them, Phil clearly has the stronger stomach. "I like those two!" he declares, albeit only after the AC's had a chance to work for a bit. "Anyway, you got anything lined up after this or you wanna go see how the sand's holdin' up?" Hey, they live in a beach town, may as well take advantage.
Isis mmms softly. Only once she's done a couple of careful little tests does she finally slowly lift her head. She stares at Phil. "After they tried to /poison/ us?" She asks and laughs, shaking her head a bit. "Geez. You are crazy, you know that?" She asks him and grins. "I could go for a walk on the beach." She murmurs, eyes twinkling a bit. "Kinda like our first date, hmm?" She teasingly whispers.
Gwydion is standing at the counter waiting for his to go order and checking messages on his phone, frowning slightly as he pokes and taps.
The door opens with a suddenness that either suggests that it's really really light or that Wyck was suddenly very strong. A surprised look on his face would suggest that it's the former and he wanders inside to head to the counter apparently to pick up or place an order. The people gathered are given a faint nod of hello and such and then he spies Gwydion - whom he recognizes from the party the other night. "Hey..." he calls falling in line behind the man until he can place an order for three, large, pepperoni pizzas to go and one large slice for here. "Gwy...sorry - forgot your name. I just remember that it was unusually cool."
Phil has switched his and Isis's order to go by this point as well, seeing as /someone/ went and made the place a good bit less pleasant. Oh well, maybe next time. "Hey, somebody might as well have one," he chimes in, looking to-- huh. Who's this new guy?
Gwydion smiles and nods at Phil as he takes his own togo box and then grins at Wyck "Gwydion McBryde. We talked about my consulting business." Gesturing with his smartphone in his other hand he says "I'd stay and chat but I'm being summoned, lady wants her dinner."
Wyck raises his hand to dismiss himself, offering, "Say no more - I've got heathens to feed myself. Tonight was good - and everyone eats when it's a good night." Offering a fifty to pay the bill for the pizzas he waits for the cashier to make change and looks back to the man who spoke - though apparently not to him when he came in. With an eyebrow raised in question he regards the young man curiously and is then snapped from his gaze by the cashier offering him the change. "You take care now..." he bids Gwydion and pockets the money.

As we near the end of the tax year, here are 9 end-of-year tax planning tips.
It's coming up toward the end of the year, and amidst planning for the holidays and gearing up for those New Year's resolutions, there's another subject that should be top of mind for you: taxes.
Here are nine planning tips when it comes to your year-end taxes and how to make them work to your advantage.
Standard Deductions Increase – 2018
One key thing to keep in mind as you review these end-of-year tax tips is that the standard deduction increased in 2018.
- Single taxpayer – $12,000
- Individuals 65+ (or blind) – Add an additional $1,600
- Married filing jointly – $24,000
- Individuals 65+ (or blind) – Add an additional $1,300 per person.
The end of the year usually is a popular time for folks to open their hearts and their wallets. While most of us don't give just for the tax benefits, there are some strategies you can take advantage of that will maximize the impact of your gift, while also potentially delivering some tax savings benefits to you and your family.
As we near the giving season, one way you can take advantage of an often overlooked charitable-giving tax break is by donating appreciated assets instead of giving cash or writing checks to charities.
Tax reform may change the number of households that will utilize itemized deductions like the charitable contribution deduction (since the standard deduction has doubled). Still, many households will continue to itemize their deductions, which allows them to take advantage of this benefit. If you're one of these households and you plan on donating to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, it may make sense to gift long-term appreciated securities, like real estate, common stock, bonds, mutual funds held on a public exchange, or other securities.
Why does this benefit both you and the charity to which you give? First of all, the qualified recipient of your gift can receive the full benefit of the appreciated asset's current market value. And for your own itemized deductions, you can usually deduct the full fair market value of those appreciated securities you've held for more than a year.
Another benefit of donating appreciated securities held long term is that you avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation. (Note there are very different rules for privately held securities. Speak to a financial advisor to learn more). You can donate up to 30% of your adjusted gross income in appreciated assets to "public" charities before you are capped for the year. If you donate to a "private foundation," then you can give up to 20% of your adjusted gross income. The excess will carry over for five years before being lost.
Don't contribute securities held less than one year. If you do, your deduction is the lower of market value or the cost basis. And you should likely never contribute securities at a loss; instead, sell them and take the capital loss, and then donate the proceeds.
When you reach the age of 70 ½ and you have a traditional IRA, the IRS generally requires you to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) from it, even if you don't necessarily need the money. If you are taking an RMD from your IRA (not an inherited IRA), then there's a unique giving opportunity that can maximize your impact of giving as well as give you a potential tax benefit.
You can use part of your RMD from your traditional IRA as a qualified charitable distribution to a qualified charity. You can use a QCD to distribute up to $100,000 from your IRA to a qualified charity, which means your IRA distributions are not considered taxable income to you (although there is no charitable itemized tax deduction for a QCD). You don't have to pay income tax on the distributions, but the donation helps satisfy the requirement for your minimum distribution. You must directly transfer your contribution from your IRA to the charity.
With the new standard deduction, this could be another way to reduce your taxable income in 2018 if you no longer can itemize your deductions.
While giving is good for the heart, it can also be good for your financial picture and your tax bill. While giving is a great idea throughout the year, it tends to be toward the end of the year many of us consider donating. This includes giving tangible personal property, i.e., items that are in "good" used condition, such as clothing, household goods, electronics, furniture, and more.
When you donate, be sure to get a receipt when you drop off your property (or have them pick it up) and be diligent about writing down what you donated. Determine a reasonable "thrift shop" value for those goods and claim that amount as a charitable contribution. If the aggregate of the goods donated in a single year of similar items (such as clothing and household goods) exceeds $5,000, regardless of when they are contributed, you will need to have a qualified appraiser prepare a professional appraisal of all the items you donated. This assumes the you can itemize your deductions in 2018 as your itemized deductions, including charitable contributions that exceed the standard deduction.
At the federal level, estate taxes can be intertwined with the gift tax (the gift tax applies to the value of assets transferred to others during your lifetime). Typically, if you give more than $15,000 (2018), then this begins to count against your lifetime estate tax exemption of nearly $11.2 million. These annual $15,000 gifts, however, don't count against the lifetime gift-tax exclusion for your potential heirs, so the annual exclusion associated with the gift tax can reduce the overall value of your estate during your lifetime, without impacting your lifetime estate tax exemption. This can be complex, so you can consult a professional to learn more.
You can also make unlimited payments directly to medical providers or educational institutions on behalf of others without incurring a taxable gift or using up your lifetime exemption.
Did you know you can possibly turn your losses into a benefit to you? Tax-loss harvesting is a strategy in which certain investment assets are sold at a loss to reduce your realized capital gains during the year, thereby reducing your tax liability. You can also use tax-loss harvesting to offset up to $3,000 in non-investment income (e.g., wages, pension income, Social Security income, etc.).
Just be careful of the Wash Sale Rule that states a loss will not be permitted if the same (or substantially identical) security is purchased within 30 days before or after the transaction that resulted in the loss.
If you are not maxed out on your 2018 plan contributions (401k, 403b or 457 plans), the deadline is December 31, 2018. The 2018 limits are $18,500 (plus an additional $6,000 if you are over 50 years of age.) For 2019, the contribution limits were raised to $19,000 per year with the same catch-up contribution limit of $6,000/year if you are 50 or older. Keep in mind that contributions related to self-employed retirement plans can be subject to different deadlines.
Why do you want to max out your plan contributions? If your employer offers a 401k and you are not utilizing it, you are likely leaving money on the table – especially if your employer matches your contributions. And the earlier you start doing this, the earlier you can reap the benefits of tax breaks and compounding interest over time. Here are some tips to help you max out your 401k.
One of the most common tax-advantaged retirement accounts is the Roth IRA. These can be a great way to save if your tax rate in retirement will be similar or higher than your current tax rate. You don't get a tax deduction when you contribute, but your withdrawals in retirement are tax free (though you should keep in mind that if you're already in the 24% or higher federal tax bracket, you probably can't – and probably shouldn't – contribute to a Roth).
Because of these potential tax advantages, a common tax management question that can arise is: should you convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA? If you anticipate being in a higher tax bracket in retirement, a Roth conversion may be something to investigate further. A side note about the terminology that can be confusing: a "contribution" and a "conversion" are completely different in the world of retirement accounts. For high income earners, contributions to a Roth are limited, but most taxpayers can convert assets to a Roth IRA.
Note that on the surface, a Roth might appear superior since its tax-exempt nature amplifies compounding investment returns over time. It's not quite this simple, however – several criteria must be met in order for a Roth conversion to make sense.
If a Roth conversion makes sense to you, then you will need to make the conversion by year-end. Whether a conversion makes sense for you depends on many factors so allow enough time before the end of the year to make an informed decision.
So when exactly do you need to take your first RMD? As mentioned, you must take your first RMD for the year in which you turn age 70 ½ ; however the first payment can be delayed until April 1 of the year following the year in which you turn that age. If you do end up delaying the first distribution, though, you'll have to take the subsequent distribution in the same year, which could be tax adverse.
RMDs and IRAs
There are a few different rules for IRAs. If your plan is an IRA, you must start taking RMDs when you turn 70 ½. Your RMD is the minimum amount you must withdraw from your account each year, and you will need to calculate the RMD separately for each IRA you own. You can withdraw the total amount from one or more IRAs, however. Similarly, if you own a 403b contract, you must calculate your RMD separately for each 403b contract that you own, but you can take the total amount from one or more of your 403b contracts.
Note that RMDs required from other types of retirement accounts, such as 401k and 457b plans must be taken separately from each of those plan accounts.
2018 federal and state fourth quarter estimated tax payments are traditionally due on January 15. In the past, worrying about whether to make state estimated tax payments early was an issue if you faced the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) or if you were concerned about maximizing the deduction for those not facing AMT. With taxes for itemized deductions now being limited to $10,000 per year, this will be less relevant for most people; however it still may be something to consider as we near the yearend.
The basic premise of estimated tax payments is that taxes are due when the income is earned. IRS rules state that (in general) you must pay 90% of your current year tax liability or 100% (110% if your AGI is more than $150,000 for the prior year) of your prior year tax liability. You can't just make a fourth quarter payment if your income is earned throughout the year; generally, you must match payments in the quarter when the income is earned. However, there are exceptions to that rule.
The regulations for making estimated taxes are complex and you should work with a tax advisor on how they apply to their situation.

The power of audio visual and communication equipment has progressed in leaps and bounds since the technology was made available to the public. But even with all the innovation and sophisticated technology employed by companies, it's still difficult to overcome the obstacles posed by physics.
Even if people can broadcast images across the globe, or directly communicate with someone in space, the digital world is still subject to the limitations imposed by the physical one. A signal still needs to be sent, it still needs to be received, and it still needs to travel along a path through possible interference.
Heavy Use
Sometimes lag is a result of system overuse or heavy interference, at worst it can cause a video-audio difference of less than a second. But it's the smallest delays that cause the most problems, because the brain doesn't know how to adjust.
When lag enters the realm of millisecond delays, the brain – from the experience of talking to people physically – knows something's wrong, but can't quite cope. This phenomenon sometimes makes communication impossible, and even unbearable. It becomes a better option to lower the resolution of the video feed because the audio signal may struggle to keep up with the load of visual component.
The Real Problem
Most professionals correctly predict that audio visual innovations will be able to bring people out of the millisecond delay for good within the next five years. What they aren't counting on though, is how people will use the power and capacity of their devices. Instead of using the added power to dispel delays forever, most people will utilize it to add to the resolution of their video feed to make images sharper, which just replicates the problem.
The source of lag isn't because technology is still contending with the constraints of physics; lag comes from technology still contending with people who don't know how they're used.

Essential Fats versus Fats to Avoid in a Plant-Based Diet
You need to consume a number of fats on a daily basis from a wide variety of sources. The nutrition they provide is essential to your body and your health.
Essential fats
Essential fats, otherwise known as fatty acids (EFAs), are fats that your body needs but are unable to manufacture. Therefore, you must get them from dietary sources. These fats fall into two groups, omega 3 and omega 6, which are made up of both mono- and polyunsaturated fats.
Omega-3 fatty acids are vital to the development of a child's brain and nervous system and for the maintenance and repair of the adult brain and nervous system; they're also anti-inflammatory. In the plant-based world, omega-3 EFAs are found in leafy greens, walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds. Lack of omega-3 fatty acids can result in behavioral and learning disorders.
On average, you should consume one or two tablespoons of oil or seeds per day, or a few walnuts.
Omega-6 fatty acids can be helpful to many inflammatory conditions and diseases. In the plant-based world, they're readily available in avocados, grain products, nuts, seeds, and many commonly used cooking oils, such as sesame, safflower, and sunflower.
On average, you should consume 1/4 avocado, 1/4 cup of nuts or seeds, or one to two tablespoons of one of these cooking oils per day.
The tricky thing about EFAs is that most people get enough in their diet already, but they come from the wrong sources, such as products made with refined sugars and trans fats. This can actually be pro-inflammatory.
An overall imbalance between omega 3 and omega 6 can contribute to any of the following conditions: heart attack, stroke, cancer, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, asthma, arthritis, lupus, depression, schizophrenia, attention-deficit disorder, postpartum depression, Alzheimer's disease, chronic inflammatory disorders, and reduced cellular detoxification.
Your body also needs omega 9, but it's considered nonessential because your body can synthesize this fat on its own. You don't have to depend on dietary sources to obtain it. Olive oil is the most known source of omega 9, so keep it on hand at home for an extra boost — assuming that it's extra-virgin olive oil and that you use it in moderation.
Fats to avoid
The main group of fat to avoid entirely is trans fatty acids (TFAs). This is difficult because many processed foods are laden with them, but TFA consumption is linked to heart disease and elevated cholesterol levels.
Also, TFA impairs lipoprotein receptors (the place where cholesterol binds) and your body's ability to process low-density cholesterol (otherwise known as LDL, or "bad" cholesterol), which eventually elevates LDL levels in the blood. This is generally considered to be unhealthy.
Not all vegetable oils are healthy!
When LDL and total cholesterol levels are elevated, many doctors tell people to restrict animal fats, butter, cheese, and eggs, which is appropriate advice. However, they suggest replacing butter with margarine — this makes the problem worse!
Margarine is a vegetable-oil-based product designed to compete with butter in the marketplace. It's notorious for high levels of TFAs! Margarine is pretty much one molecule away from plastic. Do you want that in your body?
Steer clear of these bad boys:
Commercially baked pastries, cookies, doughnuts, and cakes
Packaged snack foods (for example, popcorn, crackers, and chips)
Vegetable shortening
Fried foods
Candy bars
Watch out for hidden forms of fat like lard that are animal-based.

A Sr. Marie Laurence School teacher comforts a child who was crying on the first day of school on Monday.
St. Dominic High students all set for the new school year.
~ 200 are new ~
PHILIPSBURG--Catholic schools around the country, welcomed 2,000 students into their various campuses for the start of the new school year on Monday.
Of the 2,000 students, 200 were new. Executive Director of Catholic Education St. Maarten, Lilia Aventurin-Hodge said it was a joy to see the new and returning students ready for the new academic year. "The students were happy to be back and to connect with their peers and teachers. Words of inspiration and expectations were shared, linked to the values of the schools. New and returning staff were welcomed and introduced to the school communities," she noted.
She said apart from two vacancies that are yet to be filled, all staff at the various Catholic schools are in place and schools are ready to start. "All in all, it was wonderful to see the beautiful exchanges between students, staff and parents. It promises to be a great year, as we follow our call to live an abundant life," she said, adding that the board is grateful for the many students who are entrusted to them, as well as the dedicated and committed staff of Foundation Catholic Education St. Maarten.
"Your involvement as staff, along with parents, the community and the support of our church, is a vital part of the formation of our students as each one of us continues to contribute to education in one way or the other."
The theme for this school year for Catholic schools is: "We are called to live an abundant life."
In elaborating on what it is like to live an abundant life, Aventurin-Hodge said: "Abundant life is not about what we have. It's not about what we get. It's not about what we claim. Ultimately, abundant life is about what we receive as a gift from God and to live knowing we are stewards (agents, overseers) of the blessings of God. Furthermore, stewardship is not measured by what we have received, but by what we have given. At the end of the day, perhaps that is how we know we have an abundant life – when we have shared our life with others. When we have enough of the blessings of God (mercy, peace, love, joy, grace, self-control, wisdom, etc.) to share with others, and then actually do it, that's when we truly have abundant life."
There are seven Catholic schools in St. Maarten – one high school and six primary schools: St. Dominic High, St. Dominic Primary, Sr. Regina Primary, St. Joseph Primary, Sr. Borgia Primary, Sr. Marie Laurence School and Sr. Magda School.

Let's face it folks, the Orioles are not winning the AL East this year, or for the foreseeable future, but the team is improved. They did steal a couple of guys from the NL in Derrek Lee and Mark Reynolds. Let's start with Derrek Lee. He is 36 years old now, but he is a sure handed fielder and a clutch hitter that can do nothing but make the Orioles lineup better. Mark Reynolds…hmm. Let's see, how do I put this? He is a strikeout machine, plain and simple. He is going to hit 30-40 home runs, but he will also strikeout over 200 times! Who does that?? Seriously! In 2009 he hit 44 home runs and had 102 rbi along with 30 doubles. His production dipped to 32/85/17 in 2010 and hit a ridiculous.198. Once again, who does that? Reynolds is literally hit or miss. He is either going to hit the ball 450 feet or give a nice cool breeze to the crowd. Brian Roberts starts his 11th year in the Majors and it will be interesting to see what his production looks like coming off of his injury last year. The Orioles missed out on Victor Martinez, which would have turned up the heat on Matt Wieters, who is yet to show his potential. Another name that you think of when you hear the word potential is Adam Jones. Jones is 25 years old to open the season and seems primed to break out after back to back seasons of 19 home runs. As always, with the word potential we shall see if it really just means potentially BAD. Vlad Guerrero is another good pickup for the Orioles, but you would think that a team looking to win now would have been the team to get Vladdy. After all, he is 36 years old and showed that he surely still has it after hitting 29 home runs and knocking in 115 runs last year with the AL Champion Rangers. He is surely an upgrade over Luke Scott, who will give you 25 home runs a year yet drive in only around 70. Seems to me like he is a solo home run machine and doesn't drive in much more. The pitching is an area of unknown for the Orioles, with the likes of Matusz, Guthrie, Duchscherer, Bergesen, and Arrieta likely rounding out the rotation.
All in all, it looks like another fight for 4th place for the O's this year, although the lineup should be impressive and could score a lot of runs.

Indian troops martyred two Kashmiri youth in Occupied Kashmir in fresh act of state terrorism
*SRINAGAR: Indian troops in their fresh act of state terrorism on Thursday martyred two more Kashmiri youth in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK).*
According to the Kashmir Media Service, two youth identified as Dr Burhan-ud-Din Ganai and Safdar Amin were martyred during a so called operation by the occupied forces in Anantnag district of the occupied valley.
Following the martyrdom of two youth, the puppet administration has suspended mobile and the internet service in the area to suppress the voice of Kashmiris.
It may be recalled that at least four Kashmiris were martyred and several have been injured in the first phase of the Indian general elections.
The Chairman, All Parties Hurriyat Conference Syed Ali Gilani, had urged the people to completely boycott the election drama.
In a statement in Srinagar, he had said that on one hand, ruthless killings, unabated arrest spree, economic strangulation, vehicular restriction and enforced demographic changes through judicial onslaught are on their peak, while on the other hand, a vast military exercise under the veil of election was being thrust on the helpless Kashmiris just to strengthen India's illegal occupation over Jammu and Kashmir .

The French aerospace industry takes up the challenge of building an air transport sector with increasing concern for the environment
The French aerospace industry takes up the challenge of building an air transport sector with increasing concern for the environment. Aviation has been continuously committed to technological innovation and progress since its beginnings. Seeking to reduce the environmental impact of air transport is a natural part of this initiative.
Conscious that the environmental approach is becoming an increasingly important concern for the industry, Gifas is strongly committed to this area. The Gifas Environment and Sustainable Development Commission assists and supports members. Environmental issues are also central to the work of a joint working group involving the Technical Affairs Committee and the Environment and Sustainable Development Commission.
Link to the Corac website
This leading website for the aerospace industry, research and the environment will present the role, organizational structure, background and calendar of the civil aviation research council Corac.
A daily press review covering aerospace, environment and sustainable development issues will also be available. In addition to reference resources, the site will soon offer photo and video libraries as well as spaces for the media, working group members and partners.
Corac was set up in 2008 on the basis of commitments made at the Grenelle Environment Forum. Driven by the French civil aviation authority (DGAC) and Gifas, it brings together all French air transport industry players, i.e. the aerospace industry, the airlines, airports, Onera, institutions and the ministries concerned.
"The aerospace industry and the challenge of climate change" (June 2019)
The climate system is warming. Around 2,000 billion tonnes of CO2 have already been emitted since the begining of the industrial age.
In order to limit global warning to a 2°C increase between pre-industrial levels and 2100, we will need to lower current rate of emissions increase by 2020, cut them threefold between 2020 and 2050, and then continue to bring them down thereafter.
In air transport, the entire industry (aircraft manufacturers, airlines, airports, etc.) has made continued efforts to reduce its environmental footprint. Despite increased air traffic, the air transport industry have been working to reduce its CO2 emissions for the past several decades.
Major innovations in the last few decades have brought about a fivefold reduction in kerosene consumption (and thus CO2 emissions) by planes produced between 1960 and 2010.
The air transport sector was the first to make a collective commitment to achieving specific environmental objectives at an international level.

ATAG welcomes GIFAS as an associate member (September 2015)
The Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) is a coalition of organisations and companies throughout the air transport industry that drive the sustainable development of the air transport sector.
Funding members include Airbus, ATR, Boeing, Bombardier, CFM, Embraer, Honeywell Aerospace, GE, IATA, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce and Safran.
ATAG Executive Director Michael Gill said: "ATAG is the forum where our industry comes together to work towards common solutions to common issues. We are the only group that represents the broad spectrum of the air transport sector at a global level. As we have demonstrated with the global aviation industry's commitments to action on climate change, our approach brings real unity and focus to our combined efforts. We are delighted that GIFAS is joining our other industry partners and supporting these efforts at a senior level."
GIFAS Chairman Marwan Lahoud said: "By becoming an associate member of ATAG, GIFAS fully endorses the collective international action on sustainable aviation, in particular in the context of the fight against climate change. This prolongs the many actions already undertaken by GIFAS, including the organization of the high-level event "The COP21 from Above " in the presence of French and international political personalities, scientists and CEOs, at the recent Paris Air Show."

Powerful call for government partnership to deliver aviation industry's climate goals
A group of 28 aviation industry chief executive officers and association leaders has today sent an open letter to governments committing to climate action and calling for a joint approach to help deliver maximum CO2 emissions reductions in the aviation sector. In particular, the industry group urged action to approve a meaningful market-based measure for aviation emissions, expected to be agreed by governments at a meeting of the United Nations specialised aviation agency in one year's time.
Aviation was the first transport sector which set global goals to proactively manage its climate change impact, in 2008. These goals include capping net CO2 emissions from 2020 through a global market-based measure being developed at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and a longer-term goal to reduce net CO2 emissions from aviation to half of 2005 levels, by 2050.

ADP, Air France-KLM and Gifas reaffirm their commitment to combat climate change (June 2015)
At "COP21 Vue du Ciel" held at the International Paris Air Show on 18 June 2015, six months ahead of the 21st Conference of the Parties hosted by France under the aegis of the United Nations, these three major French air transport industry players strengthened their commitment to reduce their environmental footprint.
ADP, Air France-KLM and the French aerospace industries association Gifas, in signing a joint declaration, wish to present their commitment to improving energy efficiency and, ultimately, ushering in a low-carbon economy.
The actions taken by the three French air transport players to comply with IPCC recommendations include technological development, the use of sustainable alternative fuels, and improving operational performance, airport infrastructure and air navigation.
The declaration was signed by the Gifas Chairman, Mr Marwan Lahoud, Mr Alexandre de Juniac, Chairman & CEO of Air France-KLM and Augustin de Romanet, Chairman & CEO of Aéroports de Paris, in the presence of French Government ministers Laurent Fabius and Ségolène Royal, as well as Tony Tyler, Chairman of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the IPCC representative Philippe Ciais.
Aéroports de Paris, Air France-KLM and Gifas are working on these initiatives within the French civil aviation research council, Corac, in partnership with government departments (the French civil aviation authority DGAC and the ministries concerned), the French aerospace lab (Onera), the French commercial aviation federation (FNAM), the French airports association (UAF) and the French aeronautical and astronautical association (3AF). In addition to these three, the entire French air transport community is behind the drive to implement research and innovation to usher in sustainable growth for all.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said today that the White House is hoping tax reform can rally bipartisan support, but "if we can't get 60 votes we're prepared to use reconciliation to get it done... tax reform is Trump's number one priority."
At CNBC's Institutional Investor Delivering Alpha conference Tuesday morning Mnuchin also said he isn't sure the administration will be able to get the corporate tax rate down to 15%, as President Trump has vowed to do, given budget issues, but said they will get it lower. Meanwhile, he's "incredibly hopeful" they'll pass tax legislation by the end of the year.

Course description
Antisocial behaviour poses a major burden for society. Revealing its causes may provide clues for treatment and prevention. Criminology, the scientific study of criminal behaviour, has traditionally been dominated by sociologically oriented theories of crime causation. This focus has underscored the importance of environmental factors while, at the same time, dismissing the importance of biological and genetic factors. Indeed, most criminology textbooks give only a cursory overview of biogenic research into antisocial behaviour, suggesting that these factors are unimportant. This conclusion, however, stands in contrast to a large body of research which identifies biological and genetic factors to be important in the etiology of criminal behaviour. This honours course will introduce the student to biosocial criminology, an emerging paradigm in the criminological discipline. Biosocial criminology encompasses several subfields that seek to unpack the association between genes, biology, the brain, the environment, and different types of antisocial behaviours. The course will unfold in three interrelated sections. The first part of the course will present an introduction to biosocial criminology. We will explain basic concepts and theories within criminology, biology and psychiatry so that all students have the basic knowledge where they could build upon in the following lectures. The second portion of the course will introduce students to concepts, findings, and theories germane to the biosocial focus. The final section of the course will consider both the ethical and policy implications of biosocial criminology. During this portion of the class, we will also discuss some of the reasons mainstream theorists have overlooked biosocial criminology. Throughout the classes the students will be engaged by cutting-edge research taught by an excellent panel of lecturers.
Relevance of the course
Antisocial behaviour in juveniles has been recognized internationally as a mental health priority. It is highly prevalent and is related to poor current general functioning as well as a series of negative outcomes in adulthood. In addition, it constitutes a major public health problem, as children with antisocial behaviour problems cost society at least ten times as much as well developing children. Therefore, further research into the mechanisms underlying pathogenesis and persistence of antisocial behaviour is warranted to inform and improve current treatment strategies. To provide an overall picture, the course will address this problem from different angles (academics, justice, ethics) so that students get an overall idea on which biosocial aspects are crucial in the explanation and prevention of antisocial behaviour.

The Game
- The first launch of the Edelweiss. (right) Many a fist was pumped into the air.
- Made even more awesome by the fact that it manages to arrive while Alicia and the Town Watch were heroically holding the line on foot against an imperial tank to allow the Bruhl citizens to evacuate safely (which is a CMOA for Alicia).
- It's also one for Isara specifically, because she is doing three extremely complicated tasks - driving the Edelweiss, handling the radio net, and delivering a baby - perfectly, without any training, and doesn't even sound slightly flustered.
- It's even better if you look from the perspective of the Empire; they just spent some time attacking Alicia's faction with their own tank, only for a Gallian tank to just show up and shoot it to pieces.
- All of Operation Cloudburst. When Largo and Rosie pick on Isara simply for being a Darcsen, Welkin makes a bet with them: He retakes the bridge in 48 hours, and they listen to his orders whether they like it or not. Welkin then proceeds to drive his tank through the freakin' RIVER to the enemy camp on the other side. The fact that he learned the appropriate spot where the water is the shallowest "by observing some weeds in the river", gives it a bonus multiplier. In less than two days, Welkin manages to lure every imperial Soldier to the drawbridge and dump all of them in the drink, cementing Welkin's position as THE Squad 7 Commander.
- And Welkin again, in the ending. With the Marmota in flames and no way out for him and Alicia, and his troopers refuse to leave them and get to safety. His response?
- "You're going to leave now. That's an order!"
- Alicia vs. Selvaria, anyone?
- Rosie singing at Isara's funeral. It doubles as a Tear Jerker, and fully redeems Rosie's character.
- Alicia punching a hole in the Marmota's armor by throwing her Valkyrian lance while screaming, "I never wanted this!" It makes Welkin's Cooldown Hug and proposal of marriage all the more poignant.
- Squad 7 defeating Artificial Valkyria Maximilian qualifies as well.
- In the Behind Her Blue Flame DLC; Johann running out into the battlefield under heavy fire to save Selvaria when she's been incapacitated by poison gas, in spite of his fears of being on the front lines. This action gets him promoted to an ace, and he becomes known as Oswald the Iron.
- Edy in her DLC, first her decision to help defend the town, despite being outnumbered, and then later running from one side of the map to the other, through enemy lines, in order to save her "rival", Rosie, who's been injured.
- In the same DLC, Homer actually pulls a subverted Cooldown Hug on her by slapping her in the face when she has one of her famous panic attacks when she learns that Rosie's in a bad way. How does Edy repay him? Slugging him in the chin, and then thanking him. Absolute genius.
- Selvaria destroying Ghirlandaio using the Valkyria's Final Flame, blowing herself up along with an entire fortress and a good chunk of Gallia's main army in the process. It doubles as a Tear Jerker, and triples as a Dying Moment of Awesome.
- Selvaria gets another one earlier, when she effortlessly deflects a tank shot with her weapon.
- Squad 7 retaking Bruhl, Welkin's hometown. Also a Heartwarming Moment and Tear Jerker, as they did it in Isara's memory. There were more important battles in the game, but none were more personal.
- Bringing down the Batomys super-heavy tank in Chapter 7, forcing the Imperials (including Selvaria in Valkyria mode) to retreat. Squad 7 does this by first destroying its MG turrets, then climbing onto it and blowing up its radiators to disable it.
- Let's not forget the snipers in that same chapter, who are capable of wiping out all of the starting foot soldiers on the first turn, as well the fact that they could wipe out Selvaria's squad in a single turn as well (not including her, of course.)
- It is actually possible to pull off some awesome moves in-game, though a lot of luck or Level Grinding is required to do so. This can range from scouts slipping behind enemy lines to take their camps or take out groups of unsuspecting enemies with a well-placed grenade, shocktroopers charging in and killing entire rows of enemies, lancers actually managing to snipe the radiator of an enemy tank, oneshotting even heavy tanks, or snipers taking out entire platoons.
- If every class in the game reaches Level 20, the Drill Instructor drops his Drill Sergeant Nasty act and delivers a Rousing Speech in congratulations of Squad 7's achievement.
The Anime
- Welkin's submarine tank drive is repeated in Episode 3 (with water leaking worryingly into the passenger compartment), he and Isara then top it by driving the tank right up the incredibly steep embankment.
- The events of Episode 11. Welkin, Faldio, Ramal, and Isara teaming up with Selvaria, Jaeger, and Karl who would rescue Alicia and Cordelia from the kidnappers. Take note that these groups are on the opposing sides of the war. And they're badass in their own rights so when they team up, you know epic beat down will ensue on the kidnappers.
- Squad 1 taking out the Batomys at Naggiar. Sadly, it would be their sole moment of glory.
- Hey, taking on Selvaria was also pretty cool... though admittedly a little stupid in retrospect.
- Valkyria Chronicles was recognized by Guinness World Records as the best strategy RPG on the PlayStation 3.
- The game being released on Steam, to over 90% positive reviews, and became the top download the day of its release, even beating out Assassin's Creed: Unity! The fact that it, a port of a Japanese console game (which are infamous for just not caring about PCs in general), ran considerably better at release than AS:U certainly helped.

The fresh Global Ambassador for Ralph Lauren chatted with VMAN about the new "Red Rush" fragrance and his creatively diverse pursuit as an artist.
Text: AJ Longabaugh
Actor, singer, director, and basically any other role in the world of creativity is a title that Ansel Elgort has accepted without fear over the past five years. Today, Ralph Lauren announced that they've enlisted Mr. Elgort as their newest Global Ambassador and the newest face of Polo Red.
As one of America's most recognizable brands, Ralph Lauren's presence in many people's lives is ingrained in memory. "It's a household name that everyone has heard of. My aunt, Kristin Clotilde, was a model and was under contract as the face of Ralph Lauren. I also had to wear polo shirts in grade school as my uniform, and they definitely had the iconic horse on them."
Indeed, the signature "polo horse" has rightfully earned its icon status and the heritage brand only continues to grow. A fresh new face for the brand, Elgort is being hailed as one of the creatives to watch within his generation, having starred in the hit films The Fault in Our Stars, Divergent, and Baby Driver, which landed the star a Golden Globe Nomination. Considering the diverse range of work the youthful force already has under his belt, Elgort believes that the energy one puts into their work determines the outcome that follows. "One of my biggest influences is Jamie Foxx. His attitude and the way that he looks at me and says, 'Man, you can do whatever you want! That music that you've got going on, do it man! He's got the greatest energy, he's so positive and he's so good at everything he does."
Adding to his long listed résumé of creative pursuits, Elgort has established himself as a musician crafting infectious beats on tracks like "Supernova", "You Can Count On Me", and "Home Alone".
"I love Freddie Mercury, Prince, David Bowie, and The Beatles. I pull most of my references and inspirations from the greats. A new sound that has me floored comes from my friends in Brock Hampton. They've really inspired and influenced me to figure out my sound. I spent about a week with them in LA working on some music. Very DIY and genuine, and personal. My style."
In tandem with the announcement of Elgort's post as a Polo Red Global Ambassador, Ralph Lauren has released the official campaign film for their newest fragrance "Red Rush." Developed by master perfumer Olivier Gillotin, the newest scent in the RL men's range includes notes of red mandarin, grapefruit, fresh mint, saffron, cedarwood, and musk accord. "In one word, this new POLO RED scent is bold," says Elgort.
Ralph Lauren's "Red Rush" officially hits stores in August, so until then, gear up with Ansel and revel in the campaign film below!
