OCNS ecotoxicology testing
Tests required under the Offshore Chemical Registration
Each chemical substance is assessed on a "case by case" basis. More specific advice related to the test data required can be provided by the OCNS team once the types of substances that will be in the formulation are known. The OCNS team can discuss the suitability of each test approach before testing is commissioned.
Note: tests are required on all substances, unless they:
- Are on the PLONOR list or
- Are on the REACH Annex IV or
- Satisfy the particular REACH Annex V criteria specified in the HOCNF Guidelines.
Bioaccumulation data must be provided for organic substances.
Bioaccumulation testing can be carried out by:
- measuring the Log Pow using:
- the standard OECD 117 HPLC test method. In order for this method to be applicable, Log Pow values must be in the range 0 to 6. The HPLC is not suitable for strong acids and bases, metal complexes, substances reacting with the eluent or surface-active agents
- the standard OECD 107 Shake Flask method, which is applicable when, Log Pow values are
between -2 and 4 (occasionally up to 5)
- measuring the Bioconcentration factor (BCF) which is relevant for all deliberately added substances with a Log Pow >3 and can be determined experimentally in a full bioconcentration test when a substance is fully water miscible utilising either fish (OECD 305) or a bivalve mollusc (ASTM E1022). A filter feeding organism such as a bivalve mollusc would be more appropriate for substances that give rise to suspended particles
- reliable computational methods for the calculation of Log Pow (to avoid laboratory testing). The calculations should be fully validated and justified (for more information see QSAR and 'Read-Across')
A substance of high molecular weight is less likely to bioaccumulate. OSPAR has agreed to recognise MW 700 as a limit for bioaccumulation. However, if Log Pow test results are not available because substance has a MW>700 and Cefas will apply the precautionary principle assuming the substance will bioaccumulate by using the range (0.1 -6.1) in the CHARM calculations. In this situation sediment reworker test data is required to assess the product and calculate the HQ.
Biodegradability data must be provided for all relevant organic substances.
The following biodegradation protocol test data are accepted by Cefas
- data from OECD 306 , marine BODIS and other acceptable marine protocols
- in the absence of valid data from the test protocol mentioned above, data from OECD 301A-301F, OECD 310 and freshwater BODIS may be acceptable
Please note that freshwater biodegradation data will undergo an adjustment factor of 0.7 under CHARM, this factor is not applied during pre-screening. When submitting, freshwater data suppliers must quote the test result obtained as the results of these tests are automatically adjusted by CHARM and will incur a double penalty if they have already been adjusted.
If the substance is found not to be readily biodegradable, or if a ready aerobic biodegradation test has not been performed, it will be assumed that the substance is persistent in aerobic conditions unless a simulation test (e.g. OECD 308, OECD 309 ) is performed, which indicates the opposite.
Aquatic ecotoxicity data
Test requirements:
- OSPAR recommends test species Skeletonema costatum, or another suitable algae species if unavailable, a list of alternate species can be found in the test guidelines
- The test protocol for Skeletonema costatum is ISO/DIS 10253
- The value that should be used to fill in the HOCNF is growth rate EbC50, not the value for biomass ErC50
OSPAR recommends test species Acartia tonsa, or another suitable crustacean species if unavailable (a list of alternate species can be found in Criteria for accepting alternative toxicity data to support an HOCNF application (PDF, 13.9 KB).
- The test protocol for Acartia tonsa is ISO TC 147/SC5/WG2
- The value that should be used to fill in the HOCNF is LC50 and NOEC
- OSPAR recommends the test species Scophthalmus maximus (juveniles); or Cyprinodon variegatus (juveniles).
- The recommended test protocol is the PARCOM Protocol 1995 part B
- Limit tests are recommended to reduce the numbers of fish used in testing.
Fish-toxicity data may not be required for a component when a substance's dataset (algae/crustacean toxicity, biodegradation and/or Log Pow/BCF) indicates that a substitution warning will be applied, regardless of the fish test result. The supplier is therefore advised to seek guidance from Cefas before commissioning tests.
Toxicity-test data for a fish test might reduce the penalty factor applied by CHARM when only two other species tests are available and hence reduce the Hazard Quotient (HQ) and banding for a product. This will only be the case if the individual substance data "drives" the HQ for the product (this will not be the case if other substances in the product dictate the HQ).
Sediment reworker ecotoxicity data is not mandatory but is required in the following circumstances, where a component has at least one of the following conditions are "sinkers"; or
- Have a Log Pow >4; or
- Have a Koc>1000; or
- Contain surfactants
* OSPAR recommend test species Corophium volutator, for which the protocol is PARCOM Protocol 1995 Pt A.
* The recommended test protocol is PARCOM Protocol 1995 Pt A.
* The value that should be used to fill in the HOCNF is LC50 and NOEC.
Further detail about the test species applicable can be found in the downloadable document Criteria for accepting alternative toxicity data to support a HOCNF application (PDF, 13.9 KB).
Additional laboratory testing guidance can be found here
Literature data
Cefas also allow the use of literature data, where possible, providing that the data meet certain requirements.
Common Sources of non-test-data
Literature data can include peer reviewed papers and technical documents submitted as part of larger dossiers by industry to provide a weight of evidence under certain circumstances to bodies other than Cefas, for example the US-EPA.
If a supplier wishes to use the information provided in a paper it should be made available to Cefas to be able to check the quality of the publication. A good quality publication should have a detailed protocol of how the tests were carried out and if an internationally accepted test protocol was used (for example if an OECD test protocol was used and whether the test laboratory was GLP accredited).
It is important that literature data is rated Klimisch 2 as determined in Klimisch et al (1997) A Systematic Approach for Evaluating the Quality of Experimental Toxicological and Ecotoxicological Data Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology Vol 25 (1):1-5.
Chemical suppliers should provide a Klimisch rating that they have carried out and the reasoning behind this by using the categories in the paper, The Klimisch assessment can be sent in as a word document appendix to the HOCNF form. Cefas reserve the right to accept or reject literature data as part of the registration process.
Weight of evidence uses a larger number of literature sources of all types to provide the basis for a reasoned argument. Suppliers should provide the reasoned argument in a single document referring to the literature supporting their argument using multiple literature sources. The document should explain why the literature was chosen, what the literature shows and draw conclusions on how the literature information should be applied in the case of their chemical. The weight of evidence can be from literature sources using the same chemical (as defined by CAS and/or REACH SIEF), or similar chemicals via READ-ACROSS.
The document itself should be written as simply as possible, should reference the source document and page number of the supporting evidence so that the information is easy to find. If there is contradictory information, this should be highlighted together with a detailed reason why this information should be discounted by the regulatory assessor. Cefas reserve the right to accept or reject weight of evidence as part of the registration process if the information is not clear or not relevant. Chemical suppliers should be prepared to provide more evidence or more detailed explanation if required by the assessor.
READ-ACROSS can be used when chemicals that are structurally similar to the chemical of interest have data that can be used as a surrogate for test data on the chemical of interest. The chemical supplier should provide a 'READ-ACROSS' argument which explains the structural similarities and characteristics of the substances being compared. A 'READ-ACROSS' argument is stronger if the READ-ACROSS is based on data gap filling whereby the chemical forms part of a series of structurally similar chemicals and the data for the target chemical is missing.
There are a number of computer programs that can be used to make a 'READ-ACROSS' argument, these include OECD Toolbox and TOX-READ (available on the OECD Toolbox and VEGA websites), both are free to download. A 'READ-ACROSS' argument must follow the ECHA guidelines on submission of non-test data (ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.6: QSARs and grouping of chemicals), this will make the assessment of information provided easier to assess by Cefas, any further information or areas where information is lacking can be more quickly identified.
The ECHA guidelines provide a useful check list which will help in deciding whether the information provided is sufficient for registration purposes. Ultimately it is the role of Cefas to determine whether this information is sufficient for OCNS registration purposes. Weight of evidence accepted by other regulatory bodies may not be sufficient for Cefas registration and Cefas reserve the right to reject 'READ-ACROSS' and weight of evidence documentation.
Quantitative structure activity relationships (QSARs) relate chemical structure with a measurable physical or chemical characteristic, such as hydrophobicity, electrophilicity or toxicity, or a combination of these factors. This can be done either by trend analysis or data gap filling depending on the type of data and number of data available.
It is important that any QSAR data has been validated and details are provided on how the QSAR was validated. To see more details related to validations see below.
If submitting QSAR data it is important to fill in the QSAR reporting form (Word, 20 KB or PDF, 83 KB). This form is based on the ECHA QSAR reporting form and has been amended to contain important instructions that make filling in the form easier, however full instructions on how to fill in the form are provided in the ECHA guidance document "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.6: QSARs and grouping of chemicals". In some cases such as OECD Toolbox and VEGA the report will be in IUCLID 5 or 6 format which follows the QSAR reporting form layout. Note in many cases these platforms allow free text to be entered into the report and this allows the chemical supplier who has carried out the modelling to add annotation detailing why a particular group of chemicals or species were discarded as part of data trimming. If 'free text boxes' do not exist this information should be provided as supplementary information as a word or pdf document.
Data should not be trimmed without explanation. It is important that annotation is made in order that Cefas understands the process that has been used to achieve the outcome.
Appropriate data should be used. If the QSAR outcome is to determine toxicity to fish it is important that only fish data is used, similarly with algae and invertebrate data. It is also important that the appropriate test is used.
It is important that the limitations of QSAR modelling are understood and taken into consideration the chemical type or family.
QSARs are models which answer a specific question based on the physico-chemical properties of a target chemical based on its structure.
Not all algorithms or models are suitable for all chemicals, an example of this would be the use of QSAR data to describe toxicity in UVCB chemicals or surface active chemicals (surfactants).
The data that is used in the QSAR model must be of good quality and be rated at least Klimisch 1 or 2. Ideally the test information should be available as part of the QSAR platform you are using to determine whether the data related to the structural feature is sufficiently strong.

The Bhagavad Gita – Part Three
Linked with Savitri MacCuish – Netherlands.
Published on Savitri MacCuish's homepage, by Trish Brown (first published in Australia Yoga Life), the article is not dated.
… Let us now continue together our journey through the chapters of the Bhagavad Gita. The Gita touches on some very deep and challenging concepts, and in Chapter 3 the Law of Sacrifice is introduced, not so much in the traditional meaning of forfeit or surrender, but in the deeper meaning of making something sacred. "All of life revolves around this great Law of Sacrifice" (Verse 16).
This sounds very similar to the stance taken by the well known author Joseph Campbell, but in The Dru Bhavagad Gita, a new, modern translation that was reviewed earlier in Australian Yoga Life (issue 12, p.71), this concept is developed along the lines of making your actions sacred, rather than forfeiting or going without something. The intention with which one acts is the secret ingredient for making your actions sacred.
When the dust is cleaned from the mirror, how clear is the image? …
… anything offered with pure intention and love is more potent than costly material items offered conditionally.
The only 'cure' is to realise the truth of our innate oneness and interconnectedness with life in all its myriad manifestations. Krishna invites Arjuna – and us – to rediscover our relationship with the universe in which we live.
Krishna proclaims the kingly science of self-realisation as the highest knowledge of all because it is the only thing that can permanently uproot the cause of all suffering. Once we realise our true nature we start to penetrate the core mystery of how the higher divine self can be both near and far and that we are a microcosm of that great mystery.
"Anything that is offered to Me with devotion and a pure heart," says Krishna, "even if it is only a leaf, a flower, a piece of fruit or water, I will gladly accept" (9:26). In its beautiful simplicity, this verse shows that anything offered with pure intention and love is more potent than costly material items offered conditionally.
Arjuna is our role model. He is eager, attentive, pure of heart, full of courage and very determined to know the higher self and that which is truly divine.
In the next and final article, we journey with Arjuna as he moves from the longing for freedom to realising the pure joy of enlightenment.

GDTS heat pumps are SG Ready.
More and more energy is being extracted from environmentally friendly, renewable energy sources. Firstly, this protects the environment, but secondly poses a major challenge for the public power grids: Wind energy and photovoltaics from private households, commercial buildings or public facilities generate power on a decentralised basis. Depending on the weather conditions, they supply varying amounts of energy. This results in power generation peaks.
Smart grid-ready heat pumps can remove these power surpluses, convert them into heating energy and store them in buffer or domestic water tanks for subsequent use. Heat pumps protect the environment and the wallet of their owners by using the power primarily when it is especially favourable.
State funding for GDTS heat pumps.
Glen Dimplex Thermal Solutions helps you to receive maximum funding for your new heat pump. From planning and placing of the order, through to installation – our specialist technicians are always at your side.
We are there for you.

T-G Sports Writer
Downpours Sunday evening were bad news for the Ashland Times-Gazette Open tennis tournament, in which the completion of four divisions was pushed past the weekend for the first time in Zach Long's six years as tournament director.
But for men's open singles finalist Adam Slabodnick, the first of those showers might have been just what he needed to refocus in his semifinal with defending champion Joe Horvath.
Slabodnick, an Ashland native, lost the first set of that semifinal, 6-2, before play was halted and moved from Brookside Park to the Ashland University tennis courts.
Once it resumed, Slabodnick cruised in his fourth match of the day and eighth total -- he would have played 10 total matches Sunday had it not been for the rain -- to win the second set (6-2) and tiebreaker (10-7), entering the finals against former Ashland High School teammate and fellow state qualifier Justin Crooks.
Slabodnick took a 3-1 lead in the first set of the finals before a thunderstorm canceled play for the day.
"My body was starting to cramp because of the first rain delay with Joe," said Slabodnick, who took only enough time to change his shirt between the semifinals and finals, "and I just knew if I sat any more than 5 minutes, my body would just shut down. I had to keep it going."
"I just tried to slow the game down a little bit and pick my shots a little bit more," he added about his match with Horvath. "I wasn't going for stuff, I was just trying to end the points early in the first set. Second set I was just trying to slow the game down and I don't think he liked that pace."
With Horvath's elimination went the final chance for a repeat winner. Slabodnick, a part-time tennis pro in North Ridgeville and high school coach at Avon Lake, met Crooks in the finals when they both competed in the boys 18-under division.
"I was hoping he was going to win just so he and I could play each other," said Crooks, the son of AHS coach Rick Crooks. "I see him every once in a while, but I don't think we've played each other for a couple years. It's pretty fun to get out there and play somebody, like, he was a good friend in high school."
Baldwin-Wallace College's Caitlyn Pecinovsky, one of 16 total players from B-W in the field, exacted her revenge for her runner-up finish in the women's open singles a year ago.
After losing in the finals to AU's Paige Cooper in 2009, Pecinovsky defeated B-W doubles teammate Becky Mittler 7-5, 6-4 to capture the title.
"I wish I would have played the person I played last year," she said. "That would have been more exciting. But it was still fun. I love playing against Becky. Everybody from B-W is so much fun to play against."
Pecinovsky fell behind in the second set, 4-3, before winning the final three games for the victory. Her win came just in the nick of time as the women's open singles was the final division to be completed before the sky unleashed.
Long, whose men's doubles semifinal was cut short after he and partner Dan Mittoff won the first set (7-5) over Long's brother, Taylor, and Andy Redd, said because each of the remaining netters know each other, matches will be contested whenever the competitors can fit it into their schedules.
"Someone mentioned it was the third year he's been here and every year it's rained," Long said.
To win or not to win? That was the question for 16-year-old Austin Hammett.
The answer for the soon-to-be Madison Comprehensive junior was an emphatic "Yes."
Hammett swept up victories in all three events he entered in his first appearance in the tournament, beating the rain to capture the boys 16-under, boys 18-under and junior doubles titles.
"My serves were just on all weekend and that really got me through," said Hammett, who finished third in the Ohio Cardinal Conference second singles tournament this spring. "Pretty much just the power. ... I never got it clocked."
Hammett defeated Ashlanders Tim Sinchok (6-1, 6-2) and Andy Elderbrock (6-0, 6-0) in the boys 18-under and 16-under singles finals, respectively. He also teamed with Lexington's Jonathan McCarther to down Ashland's Nick Maggelet and Stephen Sinchok in the junior doubles finals, 6-1, 6-0.
Just like last year, Elderbrock and Zack Sprunger met in the finals of the boys 14-under division. Except this time around, Elderbrock defeated Sprunger to avenge last year's loss, 6-3, 6-0.
In other finals, Ashland's Shelbi Miller defeated Emilee Wong 5-7, 7-6 (10-5) to win the girls 16-under division; and Amanda Petit defeated Maya Ahmed 6-1, 6-1 to win the girls 14-under division.
Divisions which weren't finished included the men's open singles, men's open doubles, women's open doubles and mixed doubles. In women's open doubles, Pecinovsky and Nicole Fung will face Mittler and Jen Greene in the finals, while in mixed doubles Andy Redd and Pecinovsky will square off with Matt Lachman and Katy Marshall.

We can re-key a safe lock to give it a new key identity or replace the lock if it is failing. We carry a large stock of spares, so if you need to know if we have something in stock, just give us a call or send us a message using the form below.
A trained specialist
Jon Drake is the safe engineer, and he is an active member of SAVTA (Safe and Vault Technicians of America) and a keen member of the Master Locksmiths Association who has dedicated many years in the training of fellow Master Locksmiths. He is also the President of UK Safe & Vault. Jon is not a 'standard' locksmith working with household locks; he only works with safes and vaults.
We are true specialists in this field, with a long proven track record of safe and vault engineering across the world.
We are continually investing in the latest technology to keep at the forefront of our profession.
Additional security
Within safes, there are often additional locking devices that keep your safe secure without your knowledge. These protect against someone putting an incorrect key in and hammering it to try and remove the lock, as this would cause a live AED to fire, blocking the bolt work. As well as live AEDs, there are dead AEDs, and these never move until someone tries to attack the safe with force. This can be heat-related, such as using a welding torch to melt a weak point, which, in turn, fires extra blocking pins into the bolt work around the inside of your safe. These pins can also trigger if someone attempts to drill the front of the safe to compromise the safe lock. This can break a protective glass plate protecting the lock and set the additional locking pins in to the bolt work inside the safe.
For diagnosing faults, we have a vast array of rigid and flexi scopes to look into keyways. This helps us to take a look around and get started on an in depth diagnosis, and often holds the answers to many questions. What's more, we also carry every major brand of safe lock with varying lengths of keys and stems with detachable key sections. On top of that, we also carry various electronic locks that can be programmed in place of a key or mechanical combination lock.
Electronic locks
This is very useful when wanting the safe to only be unlocked in certain time windows (ie not through the night etc). Electronic locks can also be programmed to require two different users to unlock the safe, or it can be set up to have a time delay of 10 minutes for example between entering your code the first time and when the timer ends entering it again to gain access to the contents of the safe. You can view a log file to see which user unlocked the safe at a particular time etc. There are many other options available when using electronic safe locks and can be considered far more secure than just having a key.
Any questions? Got an issue with a safe?
Whatever question you have about safes or vaults, send us a message and we'll get back to you quickly.
If you would like a quote for opening a safe, we may need to know additional details – like colour?, size?, how many key locks? / combinations?
It is useful to get a photograph of the safe sent to us, so that we can identify the make, model and grade of the safe before giving you a quote.
Send us a message about anything to do with safes. Some problems can be rectified over the phone – others may need a site visit.
We're happy to give you a quote for any work, and then leave it up to you to book us in to come and look at the safe at a time and date to suit you – if that's what you decide to do.
You can call Jon Drake on 07931 326036 but if he is busy working on a safe if in a cellar somewhere, he may need to call you back. So, if the call goes through to voicemail, please leave a message and we will return it when we're away from the job we're doing.

The noblest nurseries
Shakespeare's Globe actors were joined by Members of Gray's Inn for a special staged reading of Supposes, written in 1556 by George Gascoigne, a fellow Gray's Inn Member. The rarely played drama returned to the Hall in which it was first performed. James Wallace, the director, and Master Roger Eastman, one of the barrister/actors, reflect on the day.
The chance to do the very first play written in English prose in the actual building where it was first performed doesn't come around too often. That play, Supposes, is: "A Comedy written in the Italian tongue by Ludovico Ariosto, Englished by George Gascoigne of The Honourable Society of Gray's Inn, Esquire, and there presented." It was acted by lawyers in 1566 in the same Hall to which, 447 years later on 3 November 2013, Shakespeare's Globe brought its Read Not Dead on the road project. Joining the professional actors were four current Gray's members, who bravely took the stage at 3pm for a fully staged script-in-hand performance after only beginning rehearsals at 10am.
That frenetic pace is an inevitable part of Read Not Dead, where those involved donate their time for free to Globe Education's on-going project that aims to breathe life into the 500 or so surviving professional plays from Shakespeare's contemporaries. Using costumes provided by the actors and items scavenged from the Globe Theatre propstore, the real star was, quite rightly, the Hall itself.
Gray's Inn Hall proved a glorious and beautiful setting for Gascoigne's translation of Ariosto's second play I suppositi, originally performed in 1509 at the Court of the Duke of Ferrara and his young wife, Lucrezia Borgia. The action takes place in a street in Ferrara over the course of one day. The two doors of the Hall's screen became the entrances to the two houses of the play. The first house contained Polynesta (Beth Park), her father Damon (Master Roger Eastman), and her disguised-as-a-servant lover Erostrato (John Hopkins). The other was home to the latter's actual servant Dulippo (Charlie Anson) who, disguised as his master, tricks a Sienese stranger (David Meyer) into playing "his" father Philogano in order to outbid a dowry offered by Polynesta's rival wooer, an old lawyer called Cleander (Sir Michael Burton), in order to delay that proposed match. When the real Philogano (Master Charles Douthwaite) turns up at the house in search of his son accompanied by a Ferrarese Innkeeper (Master Colin Manning) the comedy of stolen, 'supposed' identities really begins.
"This was a splendid theatrical and historical occasion, of which I was thrilled to be part, even though playing an ageing lawyer who did not get the girl. It is good to know that 450 years on from Gascoigne, Gray's Inn can still host a rousing Revel."
If the plot sounds a little like The Taming of the Shrew without the Kate/Petruchio plot, that's because this is clearly a major source for Shakespeare in writing it. Of course, this is not the only connection he had with the Inn. His patron Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton, was a Gray's man, and Shakespeare himself performed here on 28 December 1594 in his own The Comedy of Errors, based, like Gascoigne's comedy of Supposes, on a play by Plautus. A third play by the Roman playwright provided the plot for Twelfth Night, performed on 2 February 1602, at Middle Temple Hall.
This Read Not Dead on the road performance provided not only a chance for lawyers, actors and audiences to enjoy the shared experience of reviving this milestone of English theatre, but also to remember Shakespeare's debt not only to the commedia erudite of the Italian renaissance, but also to what Ben Jonson in his dedication to his Every Man Out of His Humour called "The noblest nurseries of humanity and liberty, in the Kingdome: the INNS OF COURT."

LONDON, April 3, 2017 PAREXEL International Corporation (NASDAQ: PRXL), a leading global biopharmaceutical services organisation, today announced that it was named a top contract research organisation (CRO) in the CenterWatch 2017 Global Investigative Site Relationship Survey. The survey recognises CROs that have high-quality working relationships with investigative sites.
The survey, published today in CenterWatch Monthly, polled over 1,300 global investigative sites on aspects of their relationships with CROs during the past two years. PAREXEL ranked among the top five highest-rated CROs for the overall quality of its direct working relationships with investigative sites. In particular, PAREXEL ranked high in categories such as professional and efficient administrative staff; professional, knowledgeable, and well-trained monitors; understanding of local regulatory/ethics issues; and conduct of clear study initiation visits and training.
Across the industry, the relationship between CROs and sites has become more strategic. To address this need, we have developed a tailored approach that helps us foster long-term quality partnerships, said Paul Evans, Corporate Vice President, Global Site Strategy, PAREXEL. PAREXELs high ranking is a reflection of our commitment to our clients and their journeys to bring new treatments to patients in need.
PAREXELs global Site Alliance Network is a significant component of the Companys approach. The network is comprised of 300 sites with dedicated PAREXEL relationship managers. These individuals also work with key site management organisations (SMOs) to reach an additional 250 sites. The network includes strategic collaborations with Academic Research Organizations on two continents and managed relationships that extend beyond single studies.
PAREXEL continuously solicits feedback from site staff to enhance its support. This enables faster patient recruitment, evaluation, and enrollment in clinical trials. Additionally, the feedback ensures quality and fosters greater collaboration between PAREXEL and sites.
We focus on simplifying trial execution for busy sites and their staff through our dedicated on-site clinical research associates, office-based monitors, and other support functions, said Karen Chu, Corporate Vice President, Global Clinical Operations, PAREXEL. The CenterWatch survey results are a testament to our focus on delivering effective and timely support for our sites and our clients.
CenterWatchs 2017 Global Investigative Site Relationship Survey was conducted online between October 2016 and January 2017. The survey included participation from principal investigators, study coordinators, and other clinical research professionals from 1,376 sites. More than 80 percent of the sites were from North America and Europe. The survey, first launched in 1997, uses an instrument to measure sponsor/site relationship quality based on input from representatives from sponsor and CRO companies and investigative sites.

A soft fork if an update in the software of the client running a blockchain that makes some of the previous blocks/transactions invalid. It is compatible with previous versions, so it does not create a new coin on a different blockchain like in a hardfork.
Segregated Witness, is the name of a controversial soft fork that took place on the Bitcoin blockchain to extend the capabilities of the blockchain while at the same time improving the scalability and fixing some issues. Some people that did not agree with the fork created Bitcoin Cash.
Satoshi Nakamoto is the person(s) who created bitcoin, however nobody knows who he/she really is, and whether Satoshi Nakamoto represents an individual or a group.
"Pump and dump" is a scheme in which a group of investors promote a coin to boost its price and to then dump it for a profit. Mainly these schemes are organized through social platforms such as Telegram.
A private key (or secret key) is the crypto equivalent to a pincode that is needed to access your bankaccount. It is a bit of code that is paired with a public key to encrypt and decrypt code. Crypto wallets have private keys, every user needs its private key to access his/her wallet that holds

Boot This Reboot of 'Men In Black International'Submitted by PatrickMcD on June 13, 2019 - 9:48pm
Rating: 2.0/5.0
CHICAGO – "Men in Black International" is less a reboot than a frantic attempt at CPR for the once viable franchise … which never should have made it to a fourth installment. That's not to say this is totally unwatchable. But it's a kind of okay not-that-great-not-that-awful iteration which neither reminds us why we liked the series in the first place nor has much of a reason to exist.
'Aladdin' Remake Doesn't Live Up to Animated SourceSubmitted by PatrickMcD on May 23, 2019 - 5:42pm
Rating: 3.0/5.0
CHICAGO – The Walt Disney Studio (cash) obsession with turning their animated film hits to live action movies continues this Memorial Day weekend with "Aladdin," which adapts the 1992 classic. What worked in 2018 with "Beauty and the Beast" falls flat with this title, because the animated version plays better.
There is Little Beauty to Be Found in 'Collateral Beauty'Submitted by JonHC on December 17, 2016 - 5:33am
Rating: 1.0/5.0
CHICAGO – Charles Dickens once said, "Reflect upon your present blessings — of which every man has many — not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some." Seeing the trailer for "Collateral Beauty," it's obvious this is the theme of the film, but it is also the theme of this review. My "blessing" to you is the foresight not to waste your time with this film.
Freaky Villains is Where 'Suicide Squad' Works BestSubmitted by PatrickMcD on August 3, 2016 - 4:44pm
Rating: 3.0/5.0
CHICAGO – DC Entertainment, feeling the heat from Marvel Studios and the tepid response from "Batman v Superman," comes back stronger with "Suicide Squad," an overblown yet psychological comic book film about sociopathic villains who somehow have to save the world.
'Concussion' Can't Quite Tackle its Difficult SubjectSubmitted by PatrickMcD on December 25, 2015 - 5:53am
Rating: 3.0/5.0
CHICAGO – "Concussion" suffers from what I call the "Moneyball" problem – it's got an interesting subject matter, but it doesn't seem to know what to do with it. It doesn't have enough faith in its own material or its audience, so it stocks up on a lot of off-the-shelf melodrama in effort to avoid digging into what makes the story interesting in the first place. It's also a movie that chickens out at the end and seems afraid to pick a fight.
'After Earth' Proves M. Night Shyamalan's Checkmate With Mismatched Smith FamilySubmitted by HollywoodChicago.com on June 1, 2013 - 12:14pm
Rating: 1.5/5.0
CHICAGO – Oscar accolades are a godsend, but so are they an affliction. They're the ultimate vote of respect from your industry, but then you've got to keep being as genius as they thought you were. In M. Night Shyamalan's case, it's all gone downhill since his 1999 smash-hit "The Sixth Sense," which was nominated for six of these portly golden statues.
Horrendous 'After Earth' Insults Entire PlanetSubmitted by BrianTT on May 30, 2013 - 8:35am
Rating: 1.0/5.0
CHICAGO – The "sci" in M. Night Shyamalan's sci-fi blockbuster "After Earth" clearly stands for Scientology and not science. There's nothing remotely approaching honest science in this boring, preachy, horrendously made film that occasionally looks good but has nothing more worthwhile to say than a pamphlet trying to get you to convert to a cult. "Danger is real. Fear is a choice."
'Men in Black III' Deserves to Be Neuralyzed From MemorySubmitted by BrianTT on May 25, 2012 - 8:41am
Rating: 2.0/5.0
CHICAGO – "Men in Black III" is such a soulless venture, a film made by committee that doesn't display the touch of anyone with any remaining actual interest in the characters. In the pipeline for years, the film has been fine-tuned to the point that all of its personality was buffed out in the process.
Jackie Chan, Jaden Smith Are Kickin' it in Remake of 'The Karate Kid'Submitted by PatrickMcD on June 11, 2010 - 6:12am
Rating: 3.5/5.0
CHICAGO – Despite any resistance that must have been felt in remaking the quasi-classic 1984 film "The Karate Kid," veteran Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith put their best kicking feet forward and spin some new cloth out of the old material. In resetting the location and putting in some surreal modern touches, this remake mostly succeeds.
Superhero Film 'Hancock' With No Superhero Ancestry Proves Bold But Deadly DecisionSubmitted by HollywoodChicago.com on July 2, 2008 - 2:19am
Rating: 2.0/5.0
CHICAGO – With superhero films as hot in 2008 as psychedelics were in the 1960s, the new blockbuster superhero film "Hancock" fits in with the label but without any of the ancestry.

Northern California Fire Update from our CEOOctober 17, 2017
Dear members of the Canine Companions community,
While the wildfires in the area have devastated our community, the Canine Companions Schulz Campus has been extremely fortunate to have escaped with no harm. With the fires increasingly contained, campus reopened for business on Monday, October 17, and the 99 dogs in professional training will be returning to campus today, where they will resume training. Our amazing volunteers have organized the transportation of the dogs back to campus, and the car pools have been well underway since this morning. The air quality on campus continues to improve, and Dr. Kennedy and the veterinary staff will continue to monitor the air to ensure the dogs' exposure outdoors is healthy. The Canine Early Development Center will also resume normal operation.
Noted in an update last week, while several staff and volunteers have lost their homes to the North Bay fires, all staff and the 250 volunteers and graduates living in the affected areas have been contacted and are safe.
As I reported, the Team Training class that had been underway last week was suspended for health and safety reasons. Program staff are now working hard to accommodate those nine students so that they can complete Team Training as soon as possible. Four of those students are joining the class that had already been scheduled to begin next Monday, October 23. That will bring that class size to 21 students, the largest class ever held on Schulz campus. The other five students will be attending a make-up class from November 6-17, in parallel with a scheduled Hearing Dog Team Training.
For the Team Training class that begins next week, we are working on identifying an alternate location for graduation. Because the Luther Burbank Center has been damaged by fire, it will not be operational by that date. We will publicize the new location for graduation as soon as we can.
Our volunteer puppy raisers and trainers have brought dogs to evacuation areas and to visit first responders over the past week, providing them some happy distraction and respite. Trainers will continue to coordinate these visits throughout the next few weeks, as well as coordinating similar visits to local schools. We are also planning a community open house this Friday afternoon on the Schulz Campus from 3-6pm in Gittinger Hall. This will be a time when both members of the Canine Companions community as well as those throughout the Bay Area can come, see what we do, interact with some dogs and relax.
Once again, I would like to thank all of you who have so generously offered your assistance during these fires. The actions, goodwill and selfless support that so many of you provided are simply remarkable.
Paul Mundell

The Slashstreet Boys Is Your Halloween Viral Video
by "Penguin" Pete Trbovich on October 30th, 2018 | Culture, Videos |
Just in case anything else hasn't yet carved a smile in your pumpkin this festive season, we present The Merkins, with their new hit "I'll Kill You That Way," by the 'Slashstreet Boys.' The Merkins are apparently producers, their name being a reference to what amounts to a wig for pubes, so to speak – last time famously used in the name of President Merkin Muffley from Dr. Strangelove.
The Slashstreet Boys are of course Freddy, Michael, Jason, Ghostface, and Leatherface. Some or all of whom might be showing up to your door the next night or two, so you better have candy ready.
You know, I like this video, it's funny, and it's very well done. But the original Backstreet Boys is still a band which makes my bile curdle so violently that I can barely stand to sit through even a parody of one of their songs!
Aw, I've done introduced them enough, here yah go:
There's much more to their YouTube channel, including the obligatory Freddy Krueger rap:
Writer, artist, prophet, cult leader. Take good care of my memes. I've raised them since they were daydreams.

I always like a quick reflection here and there. And I always do love a few Christmas decorations here and there. But, you see, it's only the 11th of November – lots more days left – and we are already seeing Starbucks sell your coffee because… 'you really want that Christmas tree cup.' I was rather thankful today. The morning shopper in me picked up a £1.50 ultra cute (in my opinion) reusable cup without the trees today – and it still half does have that Christmas feel. Yes, it's an enjoyable trick starting each morning with 'ooo what's good about day.' It makes my heart love the day despite the weather.
I didn't just learn that off myself… running taught me a lot… but it was thanks to my course mate, Katie, who passed on: Growing Up Wild. It's like a modern teaching bible. There are several clever ideas about cultivating a happiness the classroom – starting the day by being grateful is one that I love. Another is the idea of listening to music and singing. Indeed, singing. We had an input recently on teaching music using the Kodaly Method, in which children develop their musical awareness through active singing. Active, is it because you are using a ball or sometimes even a cuddly toy! I would love to teach Early Years – especially after the Nursery placement – so the idea of having a toy and music together seems ideal. Well, perfect… until you realise that my voice is not on the 'do, me, so' scale at all. Perhaps, find it on the radio of 'these are not so good singers!'
But, I will not give up because I know that nursery rhymes and tunes are comforting to kids (and even adults). And, so is something else… who doesn't love that circle time? Do you know adults have their own circle time? Yes. I'm being serious. Really serious: they're called 'MEETINGS.' Practically, my mind just bores itself and refuses to enter the flow fun track (state of optimal and optimistic performance) when that word is used. The other day, we sat in a (guess the shape…jokes!) circle – and had a lovely conversation. The rules were simple: be nice, be open and be share-sensible. We passed round a pom-pom called 'Max' – and it allowed every single student to reach their maximum level of peacefulness. It fostered a 'we are all in this together….' Atmosphere. Fantastic.
I am away to read up more about Circle Time now. After my nursery week, it was evident how vital theory is in the teacher's life. I was blown away (don't stress… no snowstorms just yet) with how almost perfectly the lessons and reading fits with our practice. And, you know what, it changed me perspective of teaching – and academic research. We recently had a lecture with other avenues in Education. And, no I do not want to leave the classroom: but the idea of eventually doing a big research project is starting to interest me. I need to be with the kids (and outdoors) but at the same time, it would be lovely to find out more about forest nurseries and the theory behind it. I always like endurance events… so somehow that must transfer to reading. Visualising everything helps me greatly. Massively. Magically. I might start drawing smiley stars or happy trees every time I finish a chapter. Yes. I do have too many sharpies for a pencil case to home. (Sorry, highlighter!)
One other aspect I would like to research is the benefit of 'weight training' on kids' academic performance. I recently started lifting (baby weights) at the gym as myself needs to become accustomed to carrying heavy things outdoors! And… I found it helps me to focus. The mental effort required to push through the pain barrier with weights is the same when in the 'ultra-focus zone.' Whenever I struggle to concentrate – and my mind drifts to sleepy, feather, padded land – I use the same mindset. Crazy? Perhaps. However, it wonderfully works. Is it that super-flow zone, then? Like Rainbow Road (anyone else play that race track game)? I think it could be. It really could. Anyhow, it's time to focus on another thing, an urgent thing.
Guess what? Guess what? Do listen up! Placement is tomorrow- yessss!
Basically, I am sooooooooo super excited for tomorrow on placement – and to colourfully see how theory translates into ( what should be) effective classroom practice. Gratitude mornings will be the first point on my teaching agenda… not that you teach it. You model it. I need to Lead by Example and do the simple things that make our hearts smile. And so, I will finish each week with a Circle Time too. Morning: individual thank you. 'Evening': altogether thank you so much (because it's been a whole day!) Furthermore, if I don't like (ah no!) formal meetings… then why not simply have relaxed conversations and chats by the 'board fireplace' in the classroom. (That's even for behaviour management). I'll need to ask my teaching mentor about that!
Eek. I cannot wait. Last thing: is tea allowed for teachers AND students? Yes, I can even get away with the treat of tea in Starbucks once a week thanks to the new mug. But… my pupils aren't allowed it (fair enough for the young ones). I tutored a child who was ever so delighted when we had a cup of tea together! Simplicities are luxuries. Can we just introduce brew to the classroom? Please? And then, well, weekends call for a hot chocolate in real Starbuck- don't they?! Yes, our one of our lecturers suggested having a drink there to relax. And it works. Perhaps… that's the time I can then let my mind wander into sunshine, cloud land. That's my new 'comfy-focus zone.'

Posted September 17, 2014
An Oregon Wheat Commission administrator introduced terms of agreement between the commission and Oregon State University (OSU), according to a Capital Press article available here.
The terms were revealed at the OSU extension meeting and define how OSU spends royalties on OSU-developed wheat varieties.
According to the agreement, 75 percent of royalties collected by the university will be reallocated into the wheat breeding program. Five percent of royalties will support Crop and Soil Science Department, 10 percent will support variety inventors, and 10 percent to the OSU Research Office.
"That is much improved from the old system," said Blake Rowe, Oregon Wheat Commission CEO. "I think it is a very good agreement."
Mike Flowers, OSU Extension Cereals Specialist, stated that the agreement significantly decreases the percentage of royalty funds that will be recycled back into the wheat breeding program.
In the past few years, OSU has collected $1.2 million and $1.5 million a year in royalties through a 2 percent royalty on Clearfield varieties.
"(The Research Office) has been getting $400,000 or $500,000 a year the last five years or so," Flowers said. "That is a big chunk of change, and growers wanted to see some of that come back into the program."

Well, what can I say? Today was very exciting! Ten minutes before FP1 was supposed to begin, the race director announced that it would be delayed by 30 minutes due to the need to repair some kerbs that the support races had damaged. This was in multiple sections of the track, and there was also a water leak at turn 14. Kerbs were removed, and the cars permitted to cross the white lines.
Thirty minutes late, the shortened sixty-minute session got underway. It began fairly calmly, before Webber got stuck behind Glock for several laps. Instead of holding back to gain more space, he tried to overtake the Virgin on the final corner. But Glock turned in without seeing the Red Bull – he had no reason to expect him to be there – and Webber's front wing caught on Glock's tyre. This resulted in a puncture and a broken front wing.
A few minutes after that, Heikki Kovalainen was suffering from mechanical issues so had to pull up in a run-off area. But his front brake ducts overheated as he stopped, setting both front tyres alight. Red flags went out, giving teams even less running time in the session.
Things got going again, until Felipe Massa ran over some of the repaired kerbing. It hadn't been repaired very well, and the Ferrari pulled it loose. The session was again red-flagged, and there were about three minutes of running left at the end for one flying lap.
The fastest driver was Lewis Hamilton, with Sebastian Vettel 0.4s lower. Third was Mark Webber, a second off his teammate's pace, and fourth Alonso.
Practice two was the full 90 minutes, and there were thankfully no red flags. The kerbing had been removed from the apex of Turn 13, however, which allowed the cars to cut it close to the wall there and on the track they turned into.
A lot of drivers came millimetres from the wall, a few touched it lightly, and Sebastien Buemi managed to knock his wheel completely off, held on merely by the tethers. Fortunately he only caused a yellow flag, but his session was over. His teammate also suffered mechanical issues and missed half the session, which is not good for Toro Rosso.
Jenson Button was another driver to have problems, when his McLaren's wheels locked as he was going around a corner. He went straight on instead, but was unable to get reverse gear. The front of his car started smoking and he quickly got out to head back to the paddock. Incredibly, once you leave the circuit you find yourself in the middle of a normal, active city, and it was strange to see the McLaren driver motorbiking through the people.
Maldonado, Sutil and other drivers sometimes found themselves in run-off areas, but they managed to spin around and get back on track. Paul di Resta had mechanical issues as well and only set eight laps.
Fastest was Vettel, with Alonso 0.2s slower. Hamilton was just ahead of Massa, both around 0.7s slower.
So it was definitely an interesting day at the Singapore Grand Prix circuit. This bodes well for qualifying tomorrow, and the race on Sunday.

Cultural contexts of health project to work with UNESCO
The influence culture exerts on health and health care is still largely unknown and unexplored. At the second expert advisory group meeting on the cultural contexts of health (CCH), WHO/Europe has begun a closer collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO's) Section for Intangible Cultural Heritage, in order to explore how health policy can benefit from a wide array of multidisciplinary research to promote a deeper understanding of the cultural contexts and experiences of health.
The meeting took place on 4–5 April 2016 at UN City, Copenhagen, Denmark. It brought together leading academics from the health-related humanities and social sciences, public health experts and representatives of relevant organizations, such as the Wellcome Trust, whose focus is on the intersection of culture, health and well-being.
One of the central discussions of the meeting was how CCH connects to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Expert group members drew attention to work in the humanities and social sciences that can help reduce health inequities by accessing different forms of evidence (such as narratives) that can amplify marginalized voices.
Expert group members also agreed on the urgency of highlighting how cultural contexts affect such pressing regional and global health challenges as the dramatic rise of obesity for instance, or the current refugee crisis in Europe. The CCH project will, therefore, focus on developing advocacy across a variety of activities around 4 broad areas:
- migration
- nutrition
- environment
- well-being.
Meeting outcomes
The meeting resulted in several concrete outcomes. One is for WHO to develop a methodological toolkit, which will set out a number of qualitative approaches that can help inform the evidence base for public health policy-making. Furthermore, the CCH project will publish 4 Health Evidence Network synthesis reports over the next 2 years, designed to assess the impact of culture on specific health challenges within the CCH focus areas.
Crucially, WHO also will be commissioning work to explore the interrelationships between culture, health and the SDGs. These outcomes will be reviewed at a subsequent meeting to be jointly organized by WHO and UNESCO.
Mark Jackson, Chair of the CCH expert group and Professor of the History of Medicine and Research Theme Leader for Medical Humanities at the University of Exeter (United Kingdom), said, "The importance of the project on the cultural contexts of health cannot be underestimated. The evolving partnership with UNESCO underlines the value of engaging with the full complexity of the lived experience in public health and health policy-making, as well as the importance of a multisectoral approach to health and well-being promoted by Health 2020."
A report of the meeting will follow.
