It was with familiar resignation that I read Holmes' words. The note was typed and sparse (in his fashion), and explained little other than acceptance of some case. In earlier days, I might have felt some distress over my friend's sudden departure; by now such actions were taken in graceful stride. This was not the first time Holmes had taken leave without notice. Truth be told, to leave any notice at all was, for him, the very height of decency.
I occupied myself with work, and admit to indulging somewhat in Holmes excellent tobacco selection. One evening, during just such an indulgence, I sat before a merry fire with pipe and paper. December was drawing to a close and I found myself spending more and more time near a crackling blaze.
Imagine my alarm when the merry flames roared into a green inferno.
With a cry I sprang to my feet, only to sit once again, dumb-struck at what was happening. From within the very fire itself stepped Sherlock Holmes, irritably brushing soot from his robes- robes of the same quaint fashion fancied by wizards.
In a thrice he was by my side, speaking with low, urgent tones. "Questions later, Watson. In a moment Harry will come through the fir, and you must be ready."
In my life, I have never wanted to interrupt a man so much.
"Their healer wants him to spend time with his family."
The adrenaline hit hard and I opened my mouth to voice a question. Holmes cut me off with an impatient gesture.
"Later." he said, glancing to the fireplace, "A professor died in his presence. If you believe the doctor's word, the man passed away practically in Harry's arms."
Knowing the boy was safe allowed composure to set in, and I was filled with the same tight, focused calm that takes me during medical emergencies. As I looked into the fire, I felt as though a patient was en route.
Excerpt from A Study in Magic, by John Watson, MD.
Harry, McGonagall, and Dumbledore stood in a room of the Leaky Cauldron. Harry had not been impressed by the building's exterior, and it's insides were doing little to alter that opinion. Oddly enough, Holmes had rather liked the establishment. Unpretentious, he called it.
"Just take a handful," said McGonagall, "And say '221 B, Baker Street', clearly as you can."
They watched as Harry threw a handful of Floo Powder into the flames, step into the green blaze, and disappeared.
Only after he had gone did Dumbledore let down his twinkling facade. McGonagall watched the headmaster slouch slightly, drop his shoulders, and let his eyes fade to a dull shine.
Dumbledore heavily sat in a nearby chair. "I've done it again, haven't I?"
"None of that," said McGonagall, "You can't save everyone, Albus."
Dumbledore seemed not to hear. "And now he's back."
"We don't know that. What Quirinus did..." McGonagall swallowed, "You Know Who wasn't a god. I can't imagine him coming back after something like that."
The headmaster nodded weakly and McGonagall hoisted the old man to his feet. "Up," she said, "We need to be getting back. My next class starts soon."
"Go on ahead. I've some business to attend."
"You're sure?"
McGonagall nodded, turned on her heel, and disappeared. A moment later, Dumbledore followed suit.
The headmaster reappeared in a place he had not gone for a very long time. He stood in forest clearing. Thick foliage cast the wood into perpetual gloom, and all around were tombstones. They rose from the ground without rhyme or reason, and faded into the surrounding tree-line.
He slowly wove through the sea of stone, pausing before some, hurrying past others. Two small ones, so close together they nearly touched, he brushed in passing. The names on their faces, Frank and Alice, cut into his heart far deeper than the words were carved.
This was his secret place; a place where he went to remember. Two days after the War started, he had started with a single, simple stone marker. It had been the first time he accepted responsibility for the death of another, but far from the last.
Every death and every grave came with a lesson he took to heart, but no matter how far his instruction in war progressed, they had continued to fill the forest.
He stopped at a cluster of three markers. With a wave of his wand, a fourth rose from the loamy soil, shaping itself from the very earth. Another wave, and letters carved themselves into the empty stone.
Quirinus Quirrell
In Life a soldier
In Death avenged
Rejoined at last with those he lost.
Harry stepped through the fire into Holmes' sitting room, tripping over the grate into the firm embrace of Uncle Watson.
"Alright?" asked Watson.
Harry nodded and shook the soot from his sleeves. "The trip makes you kind of dizzy, is all." He looked around at 221 Baker Street, noting Holmes seated on the divan. It was good to be home.
"How's school?" asked Watson, aiming for casual and missing completely.
"I'm guessing you already know."
A small smile flit across Sherlock's face.
"Sharp as ever, I see." Watson scowled in mock annoyance, then sobered, "But let me know when you want to talk about it."
Harry rolled his eyes. "I don't—"
"None of that, now. At some point, you are going to talk about it."
Harry gave Sherlock a plaintive look, one the detective pretended to ignore.
"Can we do it later?" asked Harry.
Watson fondly ruffled his hair. "Whenever you're ready."
He slowly warmed to the idea, and we spent many evenings speaking of his time at Hogwarts. In regards to the term's momentous conclusion, Harry has never before shown the depth of Holmes' influence. In spite of his youth, he moved through the stages of grief with astounding speed. As far as I can tell, he has genuinely accepted the loss and moved on; a victory I scarcely hoped for.
As for the deceased professor, Harry holds his memory and ideals close to heart. Indeed, the teachings of Quirinus Quirrell seem to hold weight equal to that of Sherlock Holmes. This was driven home for me by the visit of two students to Baker Street.
On the day Hermione and Neville arrived, I was sure they were part of the Irregulars, that network of urchins Holmes employs on occasion. To my utter shock, I discovered they were, in fact, first-years from Hogwarts. To even greater shock, I found Harry had invited them.
Small children—friends, even—visiting for no reason other than pleasure. Holmes was appalled.
Ever since that day, I occasionally toast the memory of Quirinus Quirrell. From my evening chats with Harry, I learned the professor was profoundly plural. In contrast with Holmes' philosophy of independence, Quirrell taught that one's self was not always enough. Such teachings seem to have taken root in Harry, and I, for one, am ever grateful.
Sherlock Holmes has always maintained friendship to be unnecessary, that it has no survival value. I, and now Harry as well, hold a different notion (one I like to think Quirrell also maintained).
For us, friendship is what gives value to survival.

Schumer says Senate will act on two hate crime bills
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday said the Senate will take up two bills focused on hate crimes, including one that addresses anti-Asian hate crimes and another focused on the threat of domestic terrorism and white supremacy.
Why it matters: Following a rapid — and sometimes deadly — rise of attacks on Asians and Pacific Islanders in America, the pressure is on for Congress to enact new protections. Congress is also still dealing with the fallout from the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, which authorities said involved multiple demonstrators from white supremacist organizations.
- Schumer's backing of the bills comes one day after a mass shooting in Colorado and one week after a series of shootings in Georgia that killed eight people — six of which were Asian women.
- Officials have said preliminary findings don't indicate the shootings in Georgia were racially motivated. But the attacks have instilled a sense of fear and alarm in Asian and Pacific Islander communities across the country.
Details: One of the bills, sponsored by Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), would assign a point person at the Department of Justice "to expedite the review of COVID-19-related hate crimes," and would provide support to local and state police agencies to respond to the crimes.
- The second would authorize new offices within the DOJ, along with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security "to monitor, investigate, and prosecute cases of domestic terrorism."
- Schumer also reiterated at the start of his floor speech that the Senate would vote on a pair of background check bills passed by the House last week.
What he's saying: "Every one of us has an obligation to speak out against these hate crimes ... One of the best antidotes, when hate occurs, is to answer it forcefully, strongly and repeatedly, so that no one thinks it's acceptable, and those who perpetrate it are shunned," Schumer said on Tuesday.
- "Here in the Senate, we have more than a responsibility than to just speak out. We must take action," he added.
Go deeper ... DHS chief: Domestic extremism the "single greatest terrorism-related threat" in the U.S.

Does commissioning a study really indicate bias?
Obviously a topic near and dear to my heart. [grin]
"Trying to stay strictly objective, what is your opinion on the idea that when a company *commissions* a study from a reliable independent source it will affect the outcome of the study?"
Almost Anonymous
Yes. Rampant cynicism and the polarization of the vocal minorities on either side of an issue guarantee that any commissioned study would be widely viewed as biased.
Any company that commissioned an unbiased study would surely be open to a lawsuit by shareholders :)
Stephen Jones
There is definite bias. When somebody pays your company $5 million, are you going to tell them that their product sucks compared to the competition?
There is also the issue with the what and how of what is being studied. For example, small changes in frasing can alter the outcome of a poll pretty drasticly.
Eric Debois
> somebody pays your company $5 million
Christopher Wells
Clinical experiments depend on having a control group for comparison. I think the studies philo is refering to are more in the realm of social studies or something, where you cant really create two separate groups and just test your theory on one of them.
Eric Debois
What is the purpose of the study? Is it to convince people that Company X's product is superior to the competiton? If so, and people find out that Company X commissioned the study, does it really matter if it is objective? The damage is already done.
What damage?
Herbert Sitz
I think the PUBLIC doesn't necessarily see the study as biased. I think that you really need to lead them by the nose and say "look, study XYZ was COMMISSIONED by ABC and it just HAPPENS to show that ABC is good. Seems biased, eh?"
Mr. Analogy
right, this is a common trick done by software companies (microsoft is an example), drug companies (to the point where they get people to do 'presentations' at conferences, where the entire content of the presentation except the presenter's name is provided by the drug company), other science-related grant issues (no research is done into the dangers of cell phone radiation because noone will pay for it) (the current administration is also apparently pulling funds for papers which disagree with the govt's desired results).
The answer is that of course commissioning a study will involve bias. Mainly it will be in selecting the research firm.
Philo, are you Bill Gates?
Li-fan Chen
Could you give an example of the kind of study we're discussing? I think that would help make things a little more concrete.
Tayssir John Gabbour
Re: Bill Gates as Philo,
Doesn't necessarily indicate it, but it is sure implied. It makes it look like the company funding the study bought the results.
Actually outsourcing provides the classic proofs of this.
Actually the process of creating a non-biased study (within reasonable limits of course) is very well known and pretty much understood. (<g> I only wish I could remember it a little better)
A survey or study commissioned by any body, governmental or corporate, might result in a biased result. More likely is that those findings which support whichever bias is wanted are emphasised by the sponsoring organisation.
Simon Lucy
"Philo, are you Bill Gates?"
FullName, your description is for a *survey*, not a study. Different things.
"*commissions* a study from a reliable independent source "
Hope you are not commissioning your thing with Directions on Microsoft folks.
Let's put it this way -- if you could get a bunch of whistleblowers like Feynman, Nader, and maybe Chomsky, and they all could write their thoughts on how the study was conducted, as well as what they could do better next time, then I'll agree that's a pretty damn good "independent" report.
Tayssir John Gabbour
"your description is for a *survey*, not a study. Different things."
It's easier to do, and certainly to describe, an unbiased survey than an unbiased study.
"But a "study" is an interpretation of facts, views or whatever, and interpretation by definition will be subject to the interests, expertise and bias of the researchers."
FullName, the selection of which "facts" to investigate, let alone report on, can decide the outcome of a study, even if subsequent interpretation is as straight as a die.
" the selection of which "facts" to investigate, let alone report on, can decide the outcome of a study, even if subsequent interpretation is as straight as a die.
We often look for a reason not to trust something
son of parnas
Unbiased study? Do these things exist? Surely at least in the case of a commisioned study the presumed direction of the bias vector is clearly stated, and as a consequence the results might actually be less biased because one would have to be more carefull.
Just me (Sir to you)
It is of course possible to have an unbiased study. However I'm not sure how you can show a lack of bias if the study is favourable to the organisation who commissioned it. Catch 22 methinks.

By BOB LABRIOLA
The following are some of the interesting matchups to watch when the Steelers host the undefeated Minnesota Vikings at 1 p.m. on Sunday at Heinz Field:
STEELERS WRs HINES WARD, SANTONIO HOLMES AND MIKE WALLACE VS. VIKINGS CBs CEDRIC GRIFFIN, KARL PAYMAH, BENNIE SAPP AND ASHER ALLEN: The name missing from the above is Antoine Winfield, Minnesota's Pro Bowl cornerback who signed with the team as an unrestricted free agent in 2004 and "gave the Vikings an immediate boost in the secondary by leading the team in interceptions and raising the energy of the entire defensive unit with an aggressive style of play," according to the team's 2009 Media Guide. Winfield sustained a sprained foot in the win over the Ravens last week, and he isn't expected to play this Sunday. In the second half, going against a secondary without Winfield, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco passed for 244 yards and two touchdowns and almost brought Baltimore back for a victory, were it not for a missed field goal in the final seconds. The Vikings were said to have looked around for some cornerback help this week, but finding capable players at that position in late October is the ultimate scavenger hunt.
STEELERS COACH MIKE TOMLIN VS. VIKINGS COACH BRAD CHILDRESS: It's not like one is the mentor and one is the protégé, as was the case with Marty Schottenheimer and Bill Cowher, but there is a professional attachment between the men that will endure the length of both of their careers. When Childress was hired by the Vikings and got his first head coaching gig in the NFL, one of the first people he hired was Tomlin, who then got his first coordinator gig in the NFL. "You like to compete against guys you know, somebody's got to win, somebody's got to lose. For me it's been Steve Spagnuolo who we worked with in Philadelphia and John Harbaugh this past week and now Mike [Tomlin] who was our defensive coordinator here. Those are the kind of things you like. You like to bang heads." From Tomlin's perspective, "It hit me that I've been gone from there for quite some time here just watching tape preparing for this week. A lot of faces are unfamiliar, a lot of the schemes and things that they're doing are unfamiliar to me and that's not surprising to me. It's been three years since I've worked there." Both men claim there is plenty of mutual respect, and there may be, but that doesn't mean each guy doesn't want to beat the pants off the other.
STEELERS DEFENSIVE FRONT SEVEN VS. VIKINGS RB ADRIAN PETERSON: The whole concept of gap-integrity might seem either trivial or amusing, or both, to fans, but that topic has been getting a lot of time in the Steelers meeting rooms this week. That's because Adrian Peterson is not only a bundle of physical ability, but he's also a back who has the vision, knowledge and patience to make a defense pay if anybody is out of position. "He's got a great deal of God-given ability," said Tomlin. "He's big, strong, fast. He also has the things that you can't measure. The tape says he's ridiculously competitive. He doesn't turn down challenges, he does a lot of things well even when the ball isn't in his hands, he's an aggressive and functional blitz pick-up man. He runs good routes out of the backfield. He's just a complete football player and arguably the best player playing the game right now." Peterson also is the kind of back who may spend several series picking up a couple of yards per carry before bursting free for a big gain. He had a 58-yard run against the Ravens last week, and that says it all.
STEELERS ROLB JAMES HARRISON VS. VIKINGS LT BRYANT McKINNIE: On the occasions when the Vikings choose to throw the ball, it's going to be important to get pressure on Brett Favre without having to blitz too many or too often. Harrison's six sacks lead the team, and the Vikings have allowed 14 sacks through their six games. Tall offensive tackles who haven't faced Harrison can have a lot of trouble dealing with the combination of his speed and relentless power, and McKinnie is 6-foot-8, 335 and never has played vs. Harrison in a regular season game. Depending on which officiating crew is assigned to work the game, and depending upon how many times the referee is going to allow Harrison to be held, this could end up being a favorable matchup for the Steelers, especially with the advantage the defense always has because of the crowd noise.
STEELERS KICKOFF COVERAGE VS. VIKINGS KOR PERCY HARVIN: Toward the end of a week before a big game, the daily practice report can offer important information. For example on the Wednesday and Thursday reports, Andre Frazier again was listed as not having practiced. If you think that's no big deal, think again. Frazier is one of the most important guys on kickoff coverage, and the fact he didn't play last week definitely was a factor in Cleveland's Joshua Cribbs bringing one back 98 yards for a touchdown. The fact that Frazier missed the game against the Browns and still was trying to get back onto the field with a thigh injury when Friday arrived should make fans nervous, because the Vikings have Percy Harvin, the rookie from Florida who already has brought one kickoff back 101 yards for a touchdown. Usually, there's no need to worry whether a backup linebacker will play, but when it comes to Andre Frazier and the Steelers kickoff coverage, it's time to worry.

How Time Warner Lost A Customer
About a year ago, we moved into our current residence. Prior to moving, Time Warner Cable was offering a nice Triple Play Package - for $99/month, we would get phone, cable internet, and cable, including HDTV reception in two rooms, and we wouldn't be tied to a contract. Great, we signed up.
The disasters started immediately. First, they didn't show up on installation day. When we called them about it, they apologized but said they tried to call our home phone to reschedule. Except, we didn't have a home phone yet, because that's what they were coming to set up! Brilliant. They reschedule for about 2 weeks (!) later. If I'm remembering right, nobody shows again, we call and complain again, they want to reschedule for a week later, then someone shows up and does a nice job installing everything. A week later they call to make sure we're home for the installation, and when we tell them someone came the week before, they seem surprised. Odd. After numerous calls and complaints, we are given free cable channels we don't want and free DVR for 1 year which we didn't need, but isn't horrible. Woo.
A few months later we realize we're getting charged for an HDTV box. We never ended up buying a second TV nor can we hook up the laptop to the cable (need an IR thingy which I can't seem to find), so the second HD box is just sitting in our living room unused. We ask them about it, and they insist that only one HD box is free... except we were told differently. I have them remove the charges and tell them they're welcome to come collect the HD box, which has never been used. They agree to this, and that's that... until the guy comes to get the box. He calls well out of the time that I said worked, when I was not home, so I suggested calling back a couple hours later. He said fine. He never showed. I forgot about it (I don't use the box, it's out of the way), until I saw I kept getting charges. I called and complained again. The service reps insisted they could only remove 3 months of wrongful charges, which was ridiculous. Finally someone collected the HD box, and I called back again to get the rest of the months back.
I should probably add that every call required approximately 1 hour of my time, between putting in my information 3-4 times on each call as I got shuttled from service to service, wait times, and actual conversation. It's atrocious. Recently we saw charges for the DVR service. They claimed we only were supposed to get 6 months free (false), despite the fact they had given 8 months already. I simply told them to look at the history. Once again, after much arguing, someone finally gave the charges back.
Through all that, and a couple outages, we kept the services... but then it all really went to hell. A few weeks ago, while videoconferencing for the first time simultaneously with a few people, the conference froze. I thought perhaps it had been too much for the computer. I checked everything - it was fine. I noticed nothing online was working, so I checked and restarted the router, the cable box, the computer... all to no avail. Then I noticed the phones were out, so I called (using my minutes) from my cell. A very nice lady checked to make sure there were no outages in our area, then did everything she could to help, all to no avail - all told, about an hour of time yet again. Meanwhile, I can't do anything other than use my cell. When we finished all that, she got notice of an outage in our area. Fair enough - I asked about compensation, she said that I should call for it after the outage is over (it lasted a number of hours or so in the end). No problem.
When I called for compensation, I asked for what I felt was a reasonable amount. The customer service rep claimed that they have fixed amounts in case of an outage, and offered me about $15 - an amount I thought was insulting. I asked for the manager, and was put through... and waited. And waited. And waited some more, for over 40 minutes. At that point I received the biggest jerk ever to work in customer service.
Mr. Manager was rude from the get go. When I noted that I'd been on the phone almost an hour, he said nothing, just ignored it and kept talking. I stopped him to note that he should at least apologize for my wait, and he grumbled something or other. When I explained the situation, he said the customer service rep had made an error: He should have offered three dollars and fourteen cents. Incredulous, I said that's insane, and again asked for a more reasonable amount. He insisted that $3.14 was the appropriate rate. We argued for half an hour, with him being incredibly rude the entire time. I asked for his manager - he insisted he was in charge and had no manager, and that he was the top ranking person at night. After 20 minutes more of this, including my demanding a transcript of the call and his insisting that he couldn't put me to his boss' voicemail and that in fact nobody has voicemail or email there, I asked for a call back from his boss, which he said he could do. I asked why he hadn't offered - he didn't reply. He put in for me to get a call back and a transcript.
I never got either.
When I called again, the customer service rep and her boss were both properly appalled and took down my info. They gave me back $25, the max they said they are allowed, and suggested calling the customer retention department when I noted that other services were offering very nice deals.
I then went online to ask for the customer retention department number. The chat agent immediately gave me the number - great. I called the number, and it started ringing. And ringing. And ringing. And ringing. I started a new chat, and the new agent gave me all the canned responses "I understand your frustration", etc. He took a few minutes, but gave me a new number... the regular customer service line. No thanks, I said - if I wanted to waste another hour of my time going through four levels of people to get to customer retention I'd have done so, but oddly, I'm not in the mood. I suggested that if TWC wants to retain a customer, they can call me. He said they can't set up a call from the chat service as I wished him a good day.
Oh well. Bye-bye, Time Warner.

very very frustrating. I just hope others are better. We have Fios and our dealing with them was just as frustrating (though I guess I eventually I worked it out, although that is probably because I willing to waste even more time than you). But we had the immediate disasters, promises of service that never happened, totally impossible and rude customer service agents, repeated outages of phone/internet use. Again eventually eventually it worked out. But it take too many hours on the phone and agmas nefesh than you would think necessary for this. Hatzlacha finding your replacement (I mean that seriously, not sarcastically - I feel for you).ReplyDelete

You pay 100 bux a month for cable... that's just over $3 a day, which is just over 14 cents an hour.ReplyDelete
How much did you expect as a refund for an outage of a few hours?
It's customer service. Even their other reps were appalled.ReplyDelete
Service providers who don't provide expect (or should expect) to give back more than the charges in such a situation: I wouldn't pay $97/mo to get service 97% of the time, it wouldn't be worth it.
I asked for less than $75 total in credits, to make up not just for the outage but all the time spent and rudeness received.
Anon1 - Thanks. Fios isn't available here, or I'd get it. I'm leaning toward DirectTV (NFL!!) and keeping TWC for cable internet until Fios is here, and getting rid of phone. Hopefully the cable doesn't cut out again.
Now you know why our home phone is a landline phone, and I hope to keep it that way. Even during power outages and cable problems, landline phones work.ReplyDelete
2 things:ReplyDelete
i dont know if you live in NYC (5 boroughs) but i believe NYC has a law that if TWC misses an appointment to install you get a month free. look into that.
also, i had similar issues with TWC. the best thing i did was to write a complaint to the Better Business Bureau. within 1 week i got all my money back and everything was resolved.
Thanks, great to know. I'll try that.ReplyDelete
The appointment missed was a year ago, wish I'd known that.

1 year later, he needs to gain access to Kramer's apt to fix it so that Kramer will stop getting premium channels that he's not paying for. Kramer keeps making appointments and not ahowing up. etc.
it's a 2 parter, it was on crackle last month.
Oh, Time Warner was trainer by Verizon, I see. Not surprised. At all.ReplyDelete
But honestly, I think you were asking for an awful lot in credits for an hour-long outage.
It was out for about 3 and a half hours, plus I spent an hour on the phone. This was after all the other issues. I didn't necessarily think I'd get $72, but I certainly felt that less than $15 was insulting.ReplyDelete
And more correctly, that they felt $3 was appropriate.ReplyDelete
that's frustrating :(ReplyDelete
(we use twc too. mainly cos husband used to work there, thankfully haven't had any recent hassles with them.)
if you use cable for work that could be 3 hours of lost work they'd need to compensate.
Which is what I told them. I happen to be out of work, but I was looking at various jobs that day. What if I missed a lead?ReplyDelete
wait a minute...ReplyDelete
you have a tv??????????
Just know that if you get FiOS (when it is available in your area) you are stuck with Verizon for all your services, and can't switch phone companies no matter what...at least not for the next while!ReplyDelete

Horrible. Though, I wonder, does this weaken your faith at all in the relative merits of private firms vs. public agencies? ;)ReplyDelete
HH - For years.ReplyDelete
LS - Good to know, though I'd probably go without phone. Fios still isn't available here, so we just switched to DirectTV (same price as Time Warner, but I get the NFL! :D ) for TV, and am going to try and port our phone number to Google Voice. Then I'll cancel all but TWC internet, and switch to Fios as soon as it's on our block. It's currently on the next block, but not ours.
VP - LOL no, it strengthens it: I just switched to a competitor because I could. If it were government, I'd be stuck. I think that's actually one of the most underrated factors of capitalism.

Who Is Amber Gill? Love Island 2019 Winner And Beauty Therapist From Newcastle
9 September 2019, 09:56 | Updated: 9 September 2019, 10:01
Meet Love Island 2019 winner and beauty therapist Amber Gill.
The Love Island 2019 line-up saw Amber Gill just one of the sexy singletons entering the villa for season five at the very start, but eight weeks later she won the show with partner of two weeks Greg O'Shea – whom she split from five weeks after the show ended.
Molly-Mae & Tommy 'Banned' From Love Islander's Ibiza Holiday For Being 'Fake'
Amber and her beau scooped the £50k prize after weeks of heartache for the brunette bombshell with former partner Michael Griffiths, but she'll now no doubt be one of the most successful contestants outside of the villa.
Who is Amber and why did she decide to go on the ITV2 show? Let's find out...
Who is Amber Gill and how old is she?
Amber Gill, 22, is a beauty therapist and Love Island season five winner from Newcastle.
The reality TV star already had connections to Love Island alumni, Adam Collard and Ellie Brown before entering the villa.
Before landing in the limelight, Amber described herself as: "My three best would be that I'm funny, that I am sassy and I'm kind and like to include everyone. I like to make friends with everybody. My three worst are that I can be hot-headed, I'm loud and some people don't appreciate that. I'm quite opinionated."
Is Amber on Instagram?
You can follow Amber on Instagram @ambergillx_.
Upon entering the villa she had 2k followers, and just two and a half weeks into the series that number soared to 590k and after the final it reached 2.7million – it's now hit over 2.9 million.
What has Amber said about Love Island?
Amber considered herself a good fit for Love Island because she said: "I've got a big personality and I get on with people really well. People think I'm funny. I don't take myself too seriously and I'm always up for a laugh. I'll be good on challenges and dates."
After winning the show Amber couldn't believe they'd been voted the nation's favourite couple, telling the programme's host Caroline Flack: "It would be fair to say I've had quite a journey in the villa this summer. There have been so many highs, but I've still had some quite low lows."
During her declaration of feelings to partner Greg at the final, Amber told the Irish hunk: "You picked me up when I was my most vulnerable, and helped me rediscover my smile."
However, the couple called it quits after the distance between them and their hectic schedules became too much.

( ENSPIRE Feature ) Lisa Olivera Reveals Vulnerability in Authentic Messages About Mental Health and Personal Growth
ENSPIRED Contributor: Kyla Yates
Lisa Olivera's Instagram is full of inspiring and uplifting words and messages exploring the complicated facets of being human. Lisa continually acknowledges that in order to grow, we cannot be constantly fighting for growth, rather, we must also accept ourselves wherever we are presently at. As a practicing therapist in California, Lisa is also honest with her own struggles and limitations, explaining that just because she is a therapist does not mean she has all the answers.
As Lisa explains on her website, she believes "We require less fixing and more accepting – less perfectionism and more good-enough – less criticism and more self-compassion." Lisa often discusses the gray of things: how nothing is truly black and white, and how we can explore multiple aspects of a single idea.
Along with her thought-provoking wisdom, Lisa also provides her followers with questions for them to explore themselves. Lisa always frames her thoughts as things that she is also working on; she never preaches or acts like she is exempt from needing to explore the ideas she addresses within her Instagram posts.
Lisa has also posted eight Instagram TV videos where she often reads letters or messages she has written. Her calming voice and friendly face provide a welcome relief in the often chaotic world of social media.

Canine and Equine Reiki
What is Reiki?
Reiki is natural form of healing and assisting with over-all physical balance and peace of mind. Reiki is performed by placing hands on or near the dog, and the practitioner or conduit allowing the life force energy of the Universe to flow through their hands. This process is known as "laying on of hands" or "spiritual healing".
Reiki has some of the same elements that base other traditional Asian medicines and martial arts such as acupuncture, chi gong and tai chi.
Reiki is a gentle and painless exercise, which should be non-intrusive to your dog. In fact, it should be very relaxing for your dog.
If a dog is not comfortable with being touched then then can still have a reiki session done, as energy work can be done without actually touching your dog.
Reiki Session: 30 minutes
Cost: $30.

After months of failed negotiations, Los Angeles city officials on Friday struck a tentative agreement with the union representing the city's police officers, sources close to the deal said, reports the Los Angeles Times.
The agreement would grant raises in the last three years of a four-year contract, the sources said. In July 2016, officers would see a 4% pay increase, followed by 2% increases in 2017 and 2018. It would also increase officers' healthcare subsidies.
The full details of the proposed contract were not available Friday morning.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — There are a total of 21 propositions on this year's March primary ballots: 11 for the Democrats , and 10 for the Republicans.
These are all non-binding propositions that are actually like a preference poll, giving party leaders an idea of how their voters feel about some of the major issues.
The propositions on the Democratic side range from the right to health care to immigrant rights; while on the Republican side they range from prayer in schools to rejecting restrictions on the Second Amendment.
"Each one of them is important to the Democratic Party. We know locally and nationally health care is a big issue because a lot of people want to make sure they have access to doctors and without having a whole lot of roadblocks, to be able to get the healthcare they need," Nueces County Democratic Party Chair Coretta Graham said.
"Bringing prayer back into school. How do people feel about putting prayer back into school?" incoming Nueces County Republican Party Chair Jim Kaelin said. "That'll probably be somewhat controversial because, do we subscribe to the Christian prayer? Do we subscribe to another type of prayer?"
Both said they hope voters will look closely at each proposition and vote their conscience.
"We're hoping to not only flip the Senate because it's important that we get legislation passed that we desperately need as a country, that deals with our infrastructure and is growing," Graham said. "But we also hope to flip the state house because we know 2020 is a big redistricting year for not only the county but the state."
"There's issues on parents and sex education. Should we leave sex education to the parents at home or is that something you want your schools to teach your children?" Kaelin said. "And these are all good questions. They need to be asked."
Both chairpersons described how the propositions will mold the local and national party platform for this year's November elections.
You can examine the propositions below:
Democratic Propositions
Proposition 1: Right to Healthcare: Should everyone in Texas have a right to quality healthcare, protected by a universally accessible Medicare-style system that saves rural hospitals, reduces the cost of prescription drugs, and guarantees access to reproductive healthcare?
Proposition 2: Right to a 21st Century Public Education: Should everyone in Texas have the right to high-quality public education from pre-k to 12th grade, and affordable college and career training without the burden of crushing student loan debt?
Proposition 3: Right to Clean Air, Safe Water, and a Responsible Climate Policy: Should everyone in Texas have the right to clean air, safe water, affordable and sustainable alternative energy sources, and a responsible climate policy that recognizes and addresses the climate crisis as a real and serious threat that impacts every aspect of life on this planet?
Proposition 4: Right to Economic Security: Should everyone in Texas have the right to economic security, where all workers have earned paid family and sick leave, training to prepare for future economies, and a living wage that respects their hard work?
Proposition 5: Right to Dignity & Respect: Should everyone in Texas have the right to a life of dignity and respect, free from discrimination and harassment anywhere, including businesses and public facilities, no matter how they identify, the color of their skin, whom they love, socioeconomic status, disability status, housing status, or from where they come?
Proposition 6: Right to Be Free from Violence: Should everyone in Texas have the right to live a life free from violence-gun violence, racial hatred, terrorism, domestic violence, bullying, harassment or sexual assault-so Texans can grow in a safe environment?
Proposition 7: Right to Housing: Should everyone in Texas have the right to affordable and accessible housing and modern utilities (electricity, water, gas, and high-speed internet) free from any form of discrimination?
Proposition 8: Right to Vote: Should every eligible Texan have the right to vote, made easier by automatic voter registration, the option to vote by mail, guaranteed early and mobile voting stations, and a state election holiday -- free from corporate campaign influence, foreign and domestic interference, and gerrymandering?
Proposition 9: Right to a Fair Criminal Justice System: Should everyone in Texas have the right to a fair criminal justice system that treats people equally, uses proven methods for de-escalating situations instead of excessive force, and puts an end to the mass and disproportionate incarceration of people of color for minor offenses?
Proposition 10: Immigrant Rights: Should there be a just and fair comprehensive immigration reform solution that includes an earned path to citizenship for law-abiding immigrants and their children, keeps families together, protects DREAMers, and provides workforce solutions for businesses?
Proposition 11: Right to Fair Taxation: Should Texas establish equitable taxation for people at all income levels and for businesses and corporations, large and small, so our state government can fund our educational, social, infrastructure, business, and all government services to improve programs necessary for all Texans to thrive?
Republican Propositions
Proposition 1: Texas should not restrict or prohibit prayer in public schools.
Proposition 2: Texas should reject restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms.
Proposition 3: Texas should ban the practice of taxpayer-funded lobbying, which allows your tax dollars to be spent on lobbyists who work against the taxpayer.
Proposition 4: Texas should support the construction of a physical barrier and use existing defense-grade surveillance equipment along the entire southern border of Texas.
Proposition 5: Texas parents or legal guardians of public school children under the age of 18 should be the sole decision makers for all their children's healthcare decisions including, but not limited to, psychological assessment and treatment, contraception, and sex education.
Proposition 6: Texas should ban chemical castration, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and genital mutilation surgery on all minor children for transition purposes, given that Texas children as young as three (3) are being transitioned from their biological sex to the opposite sex.
Proposition 7: Texans should protect and preserve all historical monuments, artifacts, and buildings, such as the Alamo Cenotaph and our beloved Alamo, and should oppose any re-imagining of the Alamo site.
Proposition 8: Texas election officials should heed the directives of the Office of the Governor to purge illegal voters from the voter rolls and verify that each new registered voter is a U.S. Citizen.
Proposition 9: Bail in Texas should be based only on a person's danger to society and risk of flight, not that person's ability to pay.
Proposition 10: Texas should limit our state legislators' terms to 12 years.

Where are we?
Our headquarters are located in Madrid. This is where the main governing bodies are located: the company's Board of Directors and the Management Board, as well as its central and administrative services, Institutional Relations and the Engineering, Fuel, Uranium Procurement, Quality, HR and Internal Audit Managing Departments.
Present in the province of Salamanca:
The fuel assembly plant in Juzbado
Our plant is one of the most innovative in Europe, incorporating state-of-the-art technology that optimises resources and protects the environment.
The centre has a specialised and highly qualified team that covers the entire fuel production cycle: provision, supply, uranium storage, component logistics, fuel fabrication, product quality control, development of equipment for the fabrication of PWR, BWR and VVER products and management of logistics and distribution to plants in Spain and some European countries.
The plant has a maximum annual production capacity of about 500 tonnes of uranium in accordance with the Operating and Manufacturing Authorisations in force and with a maximum enrichment of 5% in 235U.
Other activities carried out in the plant include Quality Engineering, which controls and certifies the final quality of the product; Process Engineering, which develops the equipment and processes for manufacturing the different products; and Fuel Services, which coordinates the implementation of inspection and repair campaigns.
Safety is this company's main pillar, for this reason, the plant has a Safety department that guarantees the correct installation from the nuclear, physical, radiological and environmental points of view. The company invests continuously in the renewal of its equipment, the optimisation of processes and improvement of its safety systems.
The plant has six specialised laboratories that monitor the manufacturing process, maintain environmental surveillance of the surroundings and control the dosimetry of the personnel. These laboratories follow strict criteria of quality, independence, experience, professionalism, safety and respect for the environment, endorsed by ENAC and by AENOR certifications, according to ISO 17.025 according to ISO 9.002 respectively.
We are committed to innovation
Saelices El Chico Centre (Ciudad Rodrigo)
The year 2000 saw the end of mining activities at the former uranium mines of Saelices el Chico, with the immediate dismantling of the radioactive processing facilities and the restoration of the natural area affected by the mining operations.
The dismantling of the Elefante Plant and its leaching beds was completed in 2003 and the definitive restoration of the mining operations in 2009, with both projects undergoing the corresponding monitoring and control period.
This mining environmental recovery project is one of the largest ever undertaken in Spain and one of the most important in the European Union with a planned budget of 150 million Euro.
Present in other regions of Spain:
Municipal solid waste plant at Maestre de Cervera in Castellón
This is a complex consisting of the most advanced biotechnological plant in Spain for the valorisation of MSW and assimilable waste by means of bio-drying and accelerated oxidation.
It services 49 municipalities with a maximum seasonal population of 300,000 inhabitants and on average can treat up to 120,000 t/year.
Former uranium mining facilities La Haba (Don Benito, Badajoz)
The uranium mines at La Haba were in operation from 1966 to 1990, when they ceased operations and the environmental restoration work began.
During its 24 years of operation, the plant produced a total of 190.8 t of uranium concentrates with a grade of 86.22% U3O8.
Once the decision was taken to end production, ENUSA implemented a comprehensive decommissioning programme that included both the restoration of the natural area affected by the mining operations and the dismantling of the mineral processing facilities. With the restoration complete, the site was finally decommissioned in August 2004 and is currently under long-term monitoring and control.

The Oilfield Calendar app is a tool for the oilfield worker seeking to try and manage time and ensure that they stay on top of everything that they are expected to. Oilfields are hard places to work and the demanding nature of these jobs can lead to one forgetting other important and urgent matters all together.
However, this iPhone calendar app makes it easy to stay organized all the time. It functions as a scheduling app for the oilfield families making it easy to coordinate functions, events, and activities.
The Oilfield Calendar app provides an easy to use interface. You can create and edit hitches using the hitch editor. Hitches are prolonged stints out in the oil patch away from all else. This enables you to plan out your schedule not just months ahead but for the entire year. The app marks all upcoming holidays with an oil drop icon making sure that they are easily visible from the month view. It also enables vendors to know the DSM on tour so that they can get their tickets signed.
Once schedules are created, the app allows you to compare multiple schedules. This is a very useful feature for families with more than one member working on the oil patch. This is a useful tool to making sure that even when more than one family member is working out there, the family can still get together for important events.
Schedules are sharable and printable in PDF format. This enables the oilfield worker to provide a printout that can be shared with the family.
Pros of Oilfield Calendar App
Easy to Use
The interface is user-friendly making the app quite easy to use. The controls are quite easy to use meaning that even the least tech savvy user will enjoy using the app.
See the big picture
Month view enables the user to get an overview of their schedule for that month. They can also see their year as it currently looks and make a plan of how to go about it. Vacations and holidays can be planned around leave days to ensure that the user gets adequate family time.
Why does this App Stand Out?
The biggest reason this app stands out from all the other calendar apps out there is that it is designed to cater to a very specific user; the oilfield worker. It is simple and designed with an understanding of the timelines occurring in oilfield work. Furthermore, its clean and simplistic interface provides the most powerful tools one needs while keeping the app easy to use. Lastly, the app is surprisingly good looking and is modelled on iOS 7 design making it clean, crisp, and good looking.

'I forgive them': Indigenous man injured by officers reaches resolution with Regina police
Excessive force against Simon Ash-Moccasin has prompted police to add new training for officers
An Indigenous man who was injured by Regina officers nearly four years ago has reached a resolution with police and prompted new training for cops.
Simon Ash-Moccasin says it's been an arduous process, but he's satisfied that his experience has made a positive change for Indigenous people.
"I feel confident that, in this day and age, in this world that we live in, that we're being heard as Indigenous people," Ash-Moccasin said Friday after signing a joint statement with Regina police Chief Evan Bray.
In December 2014, Ash-Moccasin says he was roughed up by two Regina police officers while he was walking in downtown Regina. They said he fit the description of a suspect they were looking for.
The father of four received injuries to his face and shoulders in the scuffle. He went on to file a formal public complaint.
In 2016, the Public Complaints Commission ruled that police used excessive force, but they said that it wasn't a case of racial profiling.
Regina officers 'went too far' but did not racially profile Simon Ash-Moccasin: Public Complaints Commission
At that time, Regina police publicly apologized to Ash-Moccasin and then the two sides sat down for mediation to right the situation.
Updated police training
On Friday on the front steps of Regina's Court of Queen's Bench, Ash-Moccasin read the joint statement.
"The Regina Police Service has taken responsibility for this incident, and has taken corrective steps to ensure a similar incident does not occur again," it reads in part.
The incident has prompted police to add new training for officers, according to the statement.
Officers will now receive "cultural competency training," aimed at teaching about Indigenous history including the impact of residential schools and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action.
Ash-Moccasin would not go into details about a monetary settlement, but the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission confirmed that he received money.
'It's a starting point'
He said the two sides went through a few rounds of mediation but he's satisfied with where they ended up.
"We came to a human agreement," he said.
Ash-Moccasin said he got to know police chief Bray during the process.
"He listens," Ash-Moccasin said. "I'm confident that there is change that's happening right now and that we can see it."
When the original incident happened, Ash-Moccasin referenced demonstrations happening in the United States, protesting police brutality: "you know what's happening with Ferguson? I'm not going to let this slide."
Three-and-a-half years later, and with mediation wrapped up, he acknowledges there's still work to do.
"It's a starting point."
Going forward, Ash-Moccasin said the experience has taught him an important lesson that he wants others to know.
"Everybody has a voice and there's so many things that happen in this life that keep First Nations people down, but you have a voice, and when you use it you get results. And people are starting to listen right now."

Well, that second round was fun to watch - the Capitals killing a penalty in triple overtime was probably my favorite moment, which I guess makes me a bit sadistic - but my predictions were basically a total bust with only the Rangers coming through. That brings my overall record in these playoffs to a rather pathetic 5-7, which is a bit worse than my control system of just picking the team with home-ice advantage (though even that is a rather poor 6-6). It brings my overall record to 34-23, which is just slightly better than the control system's 33-24. But I'm not worried! With the three series left to go and the best team holding down an eighth seed, there's still time for this year's record to improve! My picks (which are apparently the kiss of death) along with some rationale after the jump.
The first thing we'll check on is how each of the remaining teams did against other good teams. This is the regulation record and goal differential of each team left in the playoffs (all games that went into overtime are counted as ties, and for the calculation of Pt%, I gave two points for a win and one for a tie). For what it's worth, trusting just in these numbers would have netted me a record of 6-6 so far in these playoffs. Here's the chart:
According to this chart, there are two pretty obvious picks. That those picks are the New York Rangers and the Los Angeles Kings probably has NBC seeing dollar signs. Is the story similar if we take a look at some of the other significant statistical categories?
I'll be using Fenwick percentage during five-on-five with the score tied during the 2011-12 regular season, even strength save percentage of the starting goaltender over the last four years (Lundqvist, Quick, Smith, and Brodeur), five-on-four shot differential during the 2011-12 regular season, and four-on-five shot differential during the 2011-12 regular season:
The Picks:
Los Angeles in Six: With this particular match-up, the individual categories do seem to confirm what we saw in the first chart (which doesn't include L.A.'s 8-1 record against two very good teams through two rounds of the playoffs). It also probably undersells some of L.A.'s strengths. Since acquiring Jeff Carter, the Kings earned a Fenwick percentage of 57.6% in the regular season with the score tied during five-on-five play. Jonathan Quick has also been much better this season than in the past. So has Mike Smith, of course, but I'm convinced that the goaltending is no better for Phoenix than a wash. Given that everything else (except home-ice advantage) is favoring L.A., I'm going to pick the Kings.
New York in Five: Now, I picked the Devils to lose in five games against Philadelphia too, thinking that Philadelphia's depth up front would be too much to overcome. I think that these two teams are actually more comparable in terms of depth. New York's Fenwick percentage looks poor, but that's because of an atrocious start - over the last sixty games of the season, the team's fenwick percentage with the score tied during five-on-five play was 52.1%, which is right in line with the Devils. The difference, in my view, will come between the pipes. Martin Brodeur was a great goalie, and he has played very well through the playoffs, but he just hasn't been consistently good over the last two years, and it's probably because the guy is now 40 years old. Henrik Lundqvist is in his prime, and I think he'll be the difference.

Since the World Boxing
Federation was originally
founded by American Larry
Carrier in 1988, many of the
sport's biggest names have won a
WBF title, and proudly defended
the blue, red and gold belt all
over the world.
In the Champions Of The Past
Series we take a closer look
at some of the boxers who held
WBF titles in years gone by,
from lesser known champions to
world renowned fighters, legends
of the sport and current or
future Hall of Famers.
The career of former WBF Womens
World Bantamweight Champion
Renata "Barbie Girl" Szebeledi
is remarkable, to say the least.
She last fought in May of 2013,
but at time of writing the
Hungarian is still only
twenty-four years old and would
have plenty of time to add to
her achievements if she made a
- NOTE: This article is
written assuming the date of
birth listen on her BoxRec
profile, and several other
places, is correct, but it must
be mentioned that at least one
other source has Szebeledi three
years older.
Born in Budapest, she made her
professional debut on August 1,
2008, one day before her
fifteenth birthday! That alone
is remarkable. But, despite a
successful past in Kickboxing,
where she won all but a few of
her forty-seven bouts, the
transition to professional
boxing wasn't easy.
She didn't have anything handed
to her either, as her first five
bouts were decision losses
abroad against very good
opponents. She likely learned a
lot in those fights, but her
record after fifteen months as a
pro was never the less a
depressing 0-5.
In her debut, still only
fourteen years old (if we go by
1993 as the years she was born),
she was out-pointed by future
European Champion Corina
Carlescu (4-1-1) in Romania, and
at fifteen she lost two
back-to-back decisions to future
European Champion Valeria
Imbrogno (4-0) in Italy.
Two months after her sixteenth
birthday she came up short
against current WBC World
Lightweight Champion Delfine
Persoon (then 1-0) in Belgium,
and a month later she returned
to Italy where debutant Perla
Bragagnolo beat her on points
after six rounds.
But just after Christmas of
2009, things started to turn
around for Szebeledi when she
beat Gabriella Vicze (1-0) in
Slovakia. Between December 2009
and June 2010, she won five of
six outings, only losing to
reigning French Champion, and
future two-time WBF World
Champion, Nadya Hokmi (13-6-1).
That string of success put her
in line to fight Unathi Myekeni
(7-0) for the vacant WBF World
Super Bantamweight title on
September 12, 2010 in Mdantsane,
South Africa. Szebeledi lost the
fight on points, but put up such
a good performance that she was
promised a rematch.
The rematch never materialized,
but just two months later she
fought Oksana Vasilieva (7-4)
for the WBF World Featherweight
title in Russia. Again Szebeledi
did well, boxing well over her
natural weight, but lost a clear
unanimous decision.
In December of 2010 she finally
got a big fight on home soil,
and she took full advantage of
it when she captured the UBO
World Super Bantamweight title
with a fourth round stoppage of
Romanian Gabriella Insberger in
Budapest. She soon vacated that
belt to pursue new titles at
After three non-title bout
victories Szebeledi won the
Hungarian national Bantamweight
belt by stopping Eva Marcu (3-0)
in June of 2011. Soon after she
was picked to fight Pia
Mazelanik (12-3-1) in Germany,
with the vacant WBF World
Championship on the line.
This time, on July 7, 2011,
Szebeledi would not let fighting
abroad get in her way. She boxed
wonderfully, and was awarded a
deserved unanimous decision to
become WBF World Bantamweight
After a couple of low-key
victories, Szebeldi was offered
the opportunity to move down to
Super Flyweight to challenge IBF
World Champion Simona Galassi
(16-1-1) in Italy. She happily
accepted, and again proved she
was true world class by giving
Galassi all she could handle
before losing a very close, some
would say disputed, decision.
Less than a month after the trip
to Italy, Szebeldi retained her
WBF World Bantamweight crown by,
again, stopping old foe Eva
Marcu (now 6-3) in Budapest.
Convinced that she was still
fighting at a too heavy weight,
it was a god-send when another
phone-call came from Italy.
Simona Gallasi, who had so
narrowly defeated Szebeledi to
defend the IBF World Super
Flyweight title, had moved down
to Flyweight and needed an
opponent to fight for the vacant
WBC World title on October 27,
2012. Szebeledi was given a
second chance, and she took it
and ran with it.
But this time she would not let
the judges have a say. In a
stunning performance, Szebeledi
floored Gallasi in the first
round, and never let the local
girl off the hook as she went on
to stop her in the third,
shocking the Italian fans
watching from Ringside and on
Seven months later she traveled
to Japan to defend the WBC World
Flyweight crown against Shindo
Go (11-2), but it would not be
another fairy-tale chapter to
her story. Go won a clear
unanimous decision, and, at
least for the time being, it was
the last fight of Szebeledi´s
Her final record being 17-10
(one win not included on her
BoxRec), with ten victories
inside the distance, Szebeledi
only fought in Hungary nine
times. All her losses were
abroad, every time on points and
against opponents with a
combined record of 66-14-2.
Three World titles in three
different weight classes, in
less than five years! Not bad
for someone who started out
losing five fights in a row!

Data demonstrates Notable's PPMP potential in selecting more active investigational pre-hematopoietic stem cell therapy drug combinations...
Update: Notable has raised $40 million, not the $50 million suggested by the original headline.
Notable Labs, a Foster City, California-based provider of personalized drug combination testing for cancer patients, today revealed that it's closed a $40 million series B round co-led by B Capital Group and LifeForce Capital, with participation from B Capital and Industry Ventures. Cofounder and CEO Matt De Silva said the cash infusion brings the company's total raised to over $55 million following a $14.8 million series A in September 2017.
"Patients with aggressive cancers are in a race against time, but if we can use technology to identify the best drug or drug combination at the time of diagnosis, there is a much better chance those therapies will work," said De Silva, a former hedge fund manager who founded Notable in 2014 after his father developed brain cancer. "We are eager to scale the results we've generated with our academic collaborators by expanding our AI platform and automated laboratory to more cancer types."
As De Silva explained, Notable's oncological approach predicts which patients are most likely to respond to drugs by applying various treatments to cancerous cells and healthy white blood cells, and by producing a therapeutic index after recording how many of the former survive. Screenings take as little as five days, expedited in part by Notable's fleet of sample-analyzing robots.
The company's focus is principally blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myolema — at least for now. De Silva notes that blood cells are relatively easy to obtain, enabling tests to be conducted the same day. In the future, sometime following the launch of Notable's ND-1000 program that will combine an existing generic cancer medication with a natural product, the company will migrate the bulk of its diagnostics to CLIA-certified labs.
On the subject of ND-1000, Notable says it meets the FDA's Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher Program criteria, which means that if it makes it through the clinical trial process and earns regulatory approval, the company will receive a voucher for expedited review for a different product. Vouchers, which Notable says it might use for other programs or sell to another pharmaceutical company, have an estimated market value between $60 million to over $300 million.
ND-1000 is Notable's first drug development program, but the startup plans to announce another by the end of the year and has a total of 15 treatments in development across six types of adult and pediatric blood cancers.
Notable has conducted feasibility studies in collaboration with academic partners at Princess Margaret Cancer Center, the University of Florida, MD Anderson Cancer Center, the University of California San Francisco, Rady Children's Hospital, and Texas Children's Hospital so far. More recently, it collaborated with Chicago-based Tempus and researchers at Stanford to create personalized treatment recommendations for myelodysplastic syndrome patients who had unsuccessfully undergone the standard of care for their disease.
According to Notable, early clinical data in the Stanford and Tempus study indicates that Notable's solution was 84% accurate in predicting patient response to drugs or drug combinations.
"We are very impressed with the groundbreaking work Matt and the team at Notable have done over the last few years to change how cancer can be treated with the goal of completely personalized treatment from the point of diagnosis," said LifeForce Capital managing partner John Noonan. "LifeForce Capital is increasing its commitment to the company because of the results Notable has already achieved, and because Notable's technology will continue to help physicians use data to make more informed decisions on which treatments and clinical trials will be most effective for each individual patient."
Notable has ramped up hiring in recent months as it accelerates its R&D efforts. Scott Patterson, former VP of engineering at DNA testing service Counsyl, joined to lead the engineering team, and former Stemcentrx manager Marianne Santaguida was appointed head of scientific partnerships. Omid Karkouti, previously sales lead at Science Exchange, was also recently recruited as VP of business development.
Other Notable investors include First Round Capital, Founder's Fund, Eleven Two Capital, and Y Combinator.
