That is the question: marketers need to understand how to work around user expectations and learn from the brands that have entered this new and largely unknown space – here's WARC's guide.
The global phenomenon with 500m users in China, over 150m in India, and 40m in the US is growing fast, and is enabling brands to reach a broad audience quickly. For more, read WARC's in-depth briefing: A guide to TikTok for brands.
Basics: "TikTok is hard to categorise," writes Francis Sinclair, strategy partner at the agency Carat.
"While seen as a social network, unlike other platforms, users are not required to sign up to access content. All user-generated content is video, mostly 15 seconds or less, repurposing real life moments into funny, ironic, off-the-wall content."
It's different in China: The app's diverse age range in its native China (where it is known as Douyin) means that roles can appear reversed: "younger users are often seeking informative content," Sinclair notes, while "older users are dancing around and enjoying themselves."
Check your objectives: Brands looking to use TikTok in markets such as the US and UK should have defined objectives around engaging with younger generational audiences and changing perceptions of their brand or a particular product or service.
Two main approaches: entering the space for the first time, brands should almost certainly use paid advertising or work with an influencer.
- Paid: US grocery retailer Kroger used TikTok for a back to school campaign aimed at college-aged teenagers. The Hashtag Plus Challenge encouraged young adults to post their cool and essential "dorm room transformations" to the platform using the branded hashtag #TransformUrDorm.
The challenge stood apart from other original Hashtag Challenges because it was the first brand to utilise shoppable products within the app itself. That means users could browse and buy products right from Kroger's dedicated brand site while remaining in the TikTok app.
- Influencer: Infant nutrition brand Frisco partnered with Kidswant, a maternity-infant-children speciality retailer, to leverage its physical stores and digital channels to get closer to its core audience of millennial mothers in China.
The campaign identified a mother in each major city that was popular for posting informative parenting content on TikTok. They became the campaign's spokeswomen, talking extensively about parenthood and providing useful tips within TikTok with a call to action to redeem discount vouchers after watching their content.

TDP Government moved a resolution in AP Assembly thanking Union Cabinet for passing AP Special Package which includes 100% funding for Polavaram Project.
On this occasion, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu declared his agony on YSR Congress. 'This Opposition neither bother about festivals nor deaths. You (YCP MLAs) don't even know how to behave in a formal way. You don't believe Democracy, won't respect either CM or Speaker. It's a misuse of time to speak about Members who don't have basic manners. I asked My MLAs to behave well with those Legislators who doesn't have manners. Why does Opposition create difficulties for Polavaram Project which is a lifeline for several districts. I had started Veligonda Project & I myself would complete it. It's not right on the part of Opposition to mislead Facts'.
At the same time, Chandrababu Babu threw a challenge to Pawan Kalyan who has been finding mistakes with Centre & State Governments for backtracking on Special Category Status. 'Few People have been saying Special Status would bring Funds, Jobs, and everything. I am challenging them – What benefit did States which were accorded with Special Category Status receive? Let them explain, ' he asks.
CBN repeats People of AP will suffer if State Government isn't on good terms with Centre and hence Special Package has been accepted.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge just got a reprieve—but it's not safe yet
The U.S. recently announced it would suspend oil and gas leases in a pristine Alaskan ecosystem. But many environmental battles await the million-acre refuge.
The Biden administration's decision this week to review new Trump-era oil leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is a positive step, experts and environmentalists say. But it falls far short of a final resolution of the long-running battle over the refuge.
For 40 years, politicians have been fighting over whether to allow companies to drill for oil and gas in the pristine wilderness. It wasn't until President Donald Trump's final days in office that leases were auctioned off.
The lease sales, conducted amid economic uncertainty in the oil industry and growing public concern over climate change,brought in substantially less revenue than what Alaskan state officials were anticipating. (Read more about why industry interest in Arctic drilling is waning.) The sales face legal challenges from environmental groups.
In an order issued on Tuesday, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland called for a temporary halt of any activities under the lease sales, saying a better review of any potential environmental impacts was needed.
Environmental groups applauded the decision but were quick to point out that they will still push the administration to cancel the leases entirely. Environmentalists also note that the decision to temporarily suspend leases in ANWR was inconsistent with other recent moves by the administration to support oil and gas activity, including in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPR-A), west of ANWR on the Arctic coast.
"We are really hopeful the Biden administration is going to aggressively address the climate crisis, but they will need to take a wholesale look at oil and gas development," says Kristen Miller, the acting executive director at the Alaska Wilderness League.
Environmental advocates want to see the administration cancel the existing leases in ANWR and adopt more permanent protections for the wilderness area.
Alan Weitzner is executive director at the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, a state-owned company and the main bidder during the ANWR lease auction. He blasted the decision in a press release, saying, "We're extremely disappointed in the Biden administration's effort to prevent Alaska from lawfully and responsibly developing its natural resources as agreed and provided for under [the conservation act that established ANWR]."
In statements, both Alaska's Governor Mike Dunleavy and Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski opposed the Biden administration's decision to suspend leases, saying it would come at the expense of the state's economy.
The American Petroleum Institute criticized the decision for similar reasons, adding that drilling could be done in an environmentally responsible manner. "Our industry is committed to tackling climate change while safely and responsibly producing American energy," said Kevin O'Scannlain, API's vice president of upstream policy, in an emailed statement.
Open for business on the Coastal Plain
This week's order suspends the 11 leases issued by the Trump administration on January 6. It calls for a new environmental review of drilling in the refuge that will consider whether the Trump administration met certain legal requirements, such as provisions of the Endangered Species Act, when it issued the leases. That review will determine whether the leases are upheld, tweaked, or cancelled altogether.
Miller says the Trump administration's environmental review of oil and gas drilling in ANWR did not consider the impact it would have on climate change, nor did it adequately consult with tribes. Two tribes, the Gwich'in and Iñupiat, consider the refuge sacred. It's home to more than 200 different species of migratory birds and is an important breeding ground for caribou and polar bears.
But it's what lies beneath the permafrost that has been sparking political debate since the refuge was created.
In 1980, Congress passed a law that protected 80 percent of ANWR. The remaining 20 percent, the 1.5 million-acres coastal plain, was left available for potential use. A 1998 survey estimated there could be anywhere from four to 11 billion barrels of oil in the coastal plain.
In 2001, as the U.S. entered into war after the September 11 attacks, the Bush administration pushed for fossil fuel development in the refuge . The issue has remained a largely partisan political football. Republicans in favor of drilling seemed to prevail in 2017, when Congress passed a tax cut bill that included a provision calling for lease sales in ANWR.
"To ensure enduring protections for the Arctic Refuge, Congress should repeal the 2017 law establishing an oil and gas program in this special place," Kristen Monsell, an attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, wrote in an email.
In February, over 110 members of Congress backed the Arctic Refuge Protection Act, but the introduced bill has gained little momentum. The law, if passed, would repeal the 2017 oil and gas leasing program and protect the coastal plain as a wilderness area.
"Drilling America's Arctic refuge is a climate and human rights disaster, and the Biden administration knows the importance of re-establishing leadership on those two critical fronts. Now Congress needs to finish the job," wrote Erik Grafe, the deputy managing attorney for Earthjustice's Alaska office, in an email.
A report released by the International Energy Agency last May concluded that to meet their emission reduction targets, countries need to make no investment in new fossil fuel projects. Based on this report, writes Grafe, "there is no room for new fossil fuel development on public lands, especially in the Arctic, if we want to maintain a livable planet."
"But it will also take tireless advocacy given entrenched interests resisting this path," he notes, referring to the companies and politicians in favor of development.
Other controversial oil and gas projects move forward
The Biden administration has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to half of 2005 levels by 2030. But it has also backed a number of other fossil fuel projects. In April, environmentalists were disappointed when the administration declined to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline, which delivers shale oil from North Dakota to a terminal in Illinois.
And in May, the Biden administration filed a court brief in support of what's referred to as the Willow project in the NPR-A. Overseen by ConocoPhilips—the largest oil producer in Alaska— the project taps into a reserve with an estimated 300 million barrels of oil.
"We were a little disappointed that they decided to defend their position on the western part of the National Petroleum Reserve—the Willow project. The reality is you can't adjust for climate change in some areas and ignore it in some areas," says Miller.
ANWR, she notes, may have been a riskier economic and reputational bet.
The sale of oil and gas leases in the refuge was forecast by the Trump administration to bring in over $1 billion in revenue. It raised just over $14 million and didn't receive bids from any major oil companies, nor was any major bank willing to supply funds. Alaska was the biggest bidder, buying nine of the 11 leases purchased.
"It was clear the lease sale was a failure," she says.
Until the review process is complete, environmental groups will continue pushing the administration to cancel the existing leases and repeal the 2017 mandate.
"Suspending the leases is a step in the right direction," says Monsell, "But the Biden administration and Congress must do more to protect the Arctic refuge."

Be very careful with tension in your love life. Don't be afraid to express your feelings clearly. Everyone needs to let off steam because the accumulated stress can make you explode in a very negative way.
The stars show that you're stuck in your old ways and you aren't looking for new challenges in your day-to-day life. Although change always brings a little chaos at first, experiencing new things will be definitely worth it.
Don't let pent-up stress get to you and affect not only your mental but also your physical health.
Be careful about your expressions today. There's people that might not vibe at your level, who feel scared about your overly emotional ways, or being so straightforward with your emotions or feelings. Try to slow it down.
Being independent and growing powerful also means making work choices on your own, without having to ask for anyone's approval or final verdict.
Take a risk and don't doubt yourself. That's why you should try to improve and strengthen your self-esteem, and trust that your ideas and choices are right.
Be very mindful of emotional instability, Gemini. Today you'll finally open your eyes and realise that that person isn't good for you, and doesn't help you either.
You shouldn't splash the cash today either, because your finances won't do too well. It seems there's some financial bumps in the road coming in. It'll be temporary, but you'd do well in being cautious in the long run.
To face your day ahead, you've got to look out for you and your emotional well-being. Don't let anyone tell you what to do or not do, and especially, don't let them disrespect you.
The Stars are sending a clear message over: you need an open mind to accept and receive what the universe has prepared for you. At work, you've got to make yourself be heard and seen.
Not because you don't work hard, because you always do your best. The real reason is that you shouldn't let anyone take advantage of you and your kind heart.
However, don't lose your manners in the process. Try to enjoy and forget about chores for a good while. The universe shows you feel tension inside that needs release.
Be very careful with tension in your love life. Don't be afraid to express your feelings clearly. Everyone needs to let off steam because the accumulated stress can make you explode in a very negative way.
The stars show that you're stuck in your old ways and you aren't looking for new challenges in your day-to-day life. Although change always brings a little chaos at first, experiencing new things will be definitely worth it.
Don't let pent-up stress get to you and affect not only your mental but also your physical health.
Nothing can stop you when you make up your mind with clear goals and your Daily Prediction knows it. Now you just need to fulfil your purpose and gather the energy you need to go where you want.
Be careful at work because you'll need to be calm and patient. Sometimes you don't like your workmates' behaviour and comments.
However, you'd better focus on your own instead of creating conflict. Look after your health and don't ignore the discomfort you're suffering from today. You need to find a cure immediately.
Transparent people are always your best choice. Therefore, try to avoid those who aren't clear and who don't make you feel calm and confident. No one likes to feel this way.
Avoid conflict as much as you can. It's never pleasant to face one, but today you will be especially sensitive, so stay away from any discussions or disagreements.
In conclusion, your day should be fairly neutral in terms of what you are told. Even if it's hard, don't let other people's opinions affect you.
Novelty in love is always a challenge that keeps us going. However, when things get more stable, we tend to become overconfident and stop making so much effort.
However, the Stars advise you not to get so comfortable and keep working to deepen your bond. It's great that you always look for new ways to make things better and excel. However, you should also be grateful for what you already have.
Keep striving and giving your best, Scorpio. Your efforts and tenacity will soon yield quite positive results.
Today your area of love will be pretty active because someone will notice you. Your simplicity and ease can make hearts melt around you, Sagittarius! And this doesn't only happen when it comes to romantic love but also when making new friends. Use this beautiful gift and enjoy it!
Don't feel too bad if you feel like people don't listen or take you into consideration at work. Some days are so busy that people can't see beyond their own problems.
You've been feeling tired lately and it seems to be becoming chronic. Take care of it before it becomes normal for you.
Being open-minded and hanging out with people who are completely different from you can be very positive. However, you don't need to force certain relationships that make you feel uncomfortable just for the sake of socializing.
This isn't the best day to speak the truth at work. Sometimes you have to say everything you think but some other days you should keep things to yourself. Wait for the right time and the right environment at work.
Try to spend time with those who make you feel comfortable and loved. Letting off steam will make you feel free and less anxious.
Arguments tend to bring out the worst in everyone. Today you shouldn't lose your temper and try to be as cordial and assertive as possible. Get out of unpleasant situations that could lead you to unnecessary disputes.
Lately, your economy is quite stable. However, you have to be careful not to exceed your limits and try to save whenever you can. Otherwise, an unexpected slump will leave you reeling.
Aquarius, it seems that the discomfort you've been feeling will go away. So, don't look for excuses and start doing a little more exercise.
Self-control is a wonderful defence mechanism. Today is a good day to put it into practice. Try not to let your impulsiveness get the better of you. Otherwise, your Prediction says that you could end up arguing with someone.
A new project is awaiting you. You won't be busy right now but your mind will be full of ideas that will motivate you like never before.
Live in the moment, be grateful for what you have and, above all, be ready for what's ahead. You can expect some changes in your life that will turn everything upside down in a very positive way.

Work is racing ahead for the return of greyhounds to Coventry Stadium next year.
The stadium in Rugby Road, Brandon, is best known as the home of speedway team the Coventry Bees and stock car racing.
But it also doubled up as a greyhound stadium for a season in 1986 and the dogs will return again in the spring.
That's when the new greyhound track and kennels are due to be finished.
Bosses at the stadium have hired designer Geoff Sealey to design the mechanical hare and track. He began the work on Thursday.
Trial racing is expected at the end of this year with complete opening in the spring.
A new spectator stand is also planned to serve not just the greyhound racing but also speed-way and other motor sports events. The 4,000-seater stand will include hospitality boxes and a 400-seater restaurant.
The stadium's greyhound operations manager Malcolm Francis said: "It used to be a greyhound track but it's 18 years since there has been any greyhound racing. There is tremendous interest in Coventry.
"Many parties of people who travel to Hall Green for greyhound racing will be able to come to Brandon. The artificial hare will be one of the most advanced in the country.
"It will be more lifelike, and more reliable than other hares and make a noise to encourage the dogs to run faster."
Mr Francis says the plans have attracted criticism from animal rights activists and he is keen to highlight measures to protect the greyhounds.
He says the kennels will be air conditioned, dogs will be given health checks, and approval for the venture will be sought from the National Greyhound Racing Club.

Blog: The Ultimate Day Festival – Soho House Festival, Marble Hill, Richmond.
Imagine your dream festival…A place where everything is free (well, included in your ticket price). I was a very lucky girl yesterday, and as a guest of Samsung I was lucky to spend a weekday at the beautiful Marble Hill House in Richmond at Soho House's yearly music & food festival. Think unlimited lobster, Pizza East pizzas & lamb meat balls, a cheese tent by Paxton & Whitfield, Oysters by Wright Bros, churros, Good & Proper coffee, free-flowing Belvedere cocktails all day. A fair ground? You got it, a massage? Well you are exhausted from all that eating, just head to the Cowshed. Quick manicure and makeover? No problem, get over the Cheeky tent where the Cowshed girls make you all sparkly again. From the moment the doors opened at 2pm (it finished at 10.30pm) and you wandered through the balloon and ribbon decorated pathway, you were about to entire a festival paradise.
All this, and the best band line up. Gabrielle Aplin, The 1975, Lulu James, Soul II Soul, Tom Odell, Kaiser Chiefs and Primal Scream. You could not have asked for anything more. It really was spectacularly organised. The only problem was that I had a fancy dress dinner party in the evening at Rock Lobsta (more lobster I cried!!!) so had to dash just as Rudimental arrived on stage. I had to go to my party in some sort of Lobster costume. No problem I thought, I headed straight to the children's balloon artist who promptly made me a lobster hat to take with me (see below as proof). Wonderful.

Guaranteed authentic Hermes Rocabar 45 silk scarf.
Features the design inspired by horse blankets and designed by Henri d'Origny.
Gorgeous colours of Bleu Royal, Corail and Blanc.
NEW or NEVER WORN
final sale
NEW or NEVER WORN
TIDS ' n BITS
The rocabar horse blanket produced in the early 20th century went on to inspire Hermes in numerous creations. One artisan used the French English term "rug a barres" which means striped blanket. Inspired by this design Henri d'Origny brought us the six stylized horses with the graphic elements first issued in 2012.
The Hermes Scarf Creation Process
The first step is the artist's collaboration with Hermes which can take one to two years before the actual process of the steps to bring it to market.
The scarves average as many as 27 colours.
Each design is created by hand-design and then brought to the screen printing process.
The artist's design is then broken down by Hermes engravers to unique films - one for each colour. As many as 47 films may be created for a single scarf.
During this time Brazilian silk is imported to France where the raw silk is woven - a process that can take up to three months.
Pigments are mixed and boiled to create perfect colours, and then the screens are applied to the silk which is stretched over the printing table.
Each screen applies new colour and pattern. When dry they are steamed to set them in place.
Finally the silk is cut into squares and seamstresses hand roll and sew the edges with silk thread that creates the signature edging of an Hermes scarf.
An Hermes scarf can take 18 months to create, and they are loved an collected with appreciation for the expert and attention detail that goes into each one.

Brandy Rayana Norwood, best known by her stage name Brandy, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress born on February 11, 1979. She is noted for her particular sound, characterized by her unusual timbre, vocal layering, and complicated riffs, earning her the title "the Vocal Bible." She has sold more than 40 million records worldwide since August 2020, with approximately 8.62 million albums sold in the United States alone.
She has been the subject of speculation and criticism about her body for years. Brandy Norwood explained in an interview with True Exclusives that she's just been living her best life and eating some delicious food. Brandy is confirming that she is NOT pregnant, despite recent reports to the contrary. This isn't the first time she's had to refute pregnancy rumors; only last year, she had to address the same rumor and took to social media to express her dissatisfaction with the persistent rumors. She said of the rumors, She didn't think the pregnancy thing was body-shaming. Furthermore, she also didn't get that from people who saw her weight gain and assumed that she was pregnant.
All The Rumors Are Untrue!
Brandy stated that she went on a foodcation (an eating spree after one takes time off their diet) because she'd been eating clean for like seven-and-a-half years, going to the gym every day, playing tennis. 'Yo, I'm tired of this crazy discipline,' She said. I need to eat something! Pizza, pasta, and cake are all on my wish list! 'I'm not in the mood for salmon, broccoli, or asparagus.'
She has denied being pregnant on several occasions in the last year, describing herself as "thicker than a snicker" in an Instagram post last year. She claims that if she did have a child, the child would already be 2.5 years old today.

The Past Is In The Past!
Brandy also asserts that, unlike when her daughter Sy'rai was born in 2002, she would not lie about a pregnancy today. At the time, the vocalist of "Full Moon" felt obligated to conceal her marital status.
She explains that she lied about being married because she wanted to have the baby. Brandy went on to say that she reasoned that if she didn't come clean about (not) being married, Brandy didn't want to lose any of her followers. She didn't want to let anyone down. That's why, because she was pregnant, Brandy felt no need of wanting to walk down the aisle. She wanted to be prepared for it, so the easiest way to get out of the public eye was to say that she was married. She realized that it was the wrong decision. Brandy also stated that she was younger during her pregnancy and believed that having a child without a wedding ring would jeopardize her career.
2021 Rumors:
It all started with her caption on an Instagram photo, "Dear God, I can finally see you in me," says the RnB singer. "Keep using me so that I can continue to enjoy the pleasure of being used by you," I swear I'll cut down on my clap backs. #wink❤ I'm in love with you."
Fans mistook her comment to reference her recent pregnancy and began congratulating her. Brandy then changed her Instagram bio to read, "I'm not expecting a child, people!!! I have a lot of work ahead of me. Allow me to live!! My favorite foods are pancakes and chocolate cake…" Syria, the singer's only kid, seems satisfied with her position as her mother's only child.
As the pregnancy rumors spread, the adolescent resorted to social media to end them. "My mother is not pregnant," she wrote, "and there will be no more siblings for me. Being an only child is something I appreciate. Lord, thank you." She also wrote, "She just ate chocolate cake and pancakes every day. I was there."
Brandy humorously told her daughter to get off social media at school, "Lil lady."
The Actual News:
Music has always been her baby. Her work has earned her numerous awards, and in her crown of accolades, a Grammy Award, an American Music Award, and seven Billboard Music Awards are just a few of the many feathers. Brandy has cited Whitney Houston as her most significant musical and showbiz influence since her career. Houston was her "idol" early in her career. She credited her voice, songs, and performances as crucial to her personal and professional success. "As a professional artist, I would say Whitney Houston is the best voice of all time," Brandy said in a 2014 interview. Just because a woman gains a little bit of weight doesn't automatically mean she's having a baby. Hopefully, everyone will let her live her best life and continue eating whatever she wants! She wishes for the assumptions to stop as they stem from harmful body image expectations. Confirming that Brandy is indeed NOT pregnant, she announces the release of new music from her "soon."

Lionel Messi plays 45 minutes in Barcelona friendly win over Gimnastic
Barcelona beat second-division Gimnastic de Tarragona 3-1 in a preseason friendly on Saturday, with Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele each making encouraging returns by scoring in Ronald Koeman's first game in charge.
Lionel Messi wore the captain's armband in his first match since he opted to abandon his plans to leave Barca, although Luis Suarez and Arturo Vidal were left out of the squad as the club is still trying to offload both players.

- Lowe: Messi returns to Barcelona for 'Last Dance'
Koeman lined up with a 4-2-3-1 system with two holding midfielders, a shape rarely used by Barca coaches in the past, and said after the match it was something Camp Nou fans might have to get used to.
"It's perhaps a little different and more defensive to what we have seen in the last few years," Koeman told the club's official television channel.
"But the aim is to move the ball, hold on to it and create space to play between the lines, behind the opponents' midfielders. I think this team is capable of doing this because we have midfielders who are able to play in that way."
French winger Dembele rolled the ball into the net to put Barca ahead in the sixth minute in his first appearance since November 2019, having undergone surgery to treat a ruptured hamstring tendon.
Antoine Griezmann added to Barca's advantage by converting a penalty in the 16th minute although defender Javi Bonilla scored a superb goal from the edge of the area to pull one back for Gimnastic on the half-hour mark.
Club record signing Coutinho got the third goal in the 51st, also from the penalty spot, making his first outing for the team since returning on loan from Bayern Munich, with whom he scored two goals in last month's 8-2 thrashing of Barca in the Champions League quarterfinals.
Koeman, who changed his entire team at half-time by making 11 substitutions, gave debuts to 17-year-old forward Pedri, new signing Francisco Trincao and American forward Konrad de La Fuente, 19, who stepped up from the club's reserve side.
Barca are sitting out the first two weekends of the new La Liga season, which began on Saturday, due to participating in the Champions League "Final Eight" tournament last month.
They face Girona next Wednesday in another friendly before making their league bow against Villarreal on Sept. 27.

Linux in Government: OSS in the US Navy?
Government agencies wishing to develop an understanding of open-source software's potential might look no farther for information than a non-profit trade association headquartered in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The Open Source Software Institute has become adept at helping government enterprises understand the benefits of open-source software, especially Linux.
To see an example of the Institute's work, let's look at an event the Institute's organizer put together for the United States Navy. On September 16, 2004, the Open Source Software Institute presented an informational briefing in Washington, DC for the US Navy's Program Executive Office for Information Technology (PEO IT), which is responsible for providing acquisition and support services for the entire Navy. Organized by John Weathersby, the meeting focused on open-source software acquisition.
Few people know that Weathersby serves as a special advisor to the US Department of the Navy, Office of Chief Information Officer (DONCIO). His mission focuses on helping the Navy craft an official policy regarding the usage, development and deployment of open-source software. Weathersby began his work with the Navy back in June 2001 when he performed a study to determine the Navy's extant usage of open-source software within the Naval Oceanographic Office and to explore additional opportunities to implement open-source solutions. The original Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, known as a CRADA, can be found here.
In case you don't want to read the entire CRADA document, the objectives of the first study:
promoted a technical study concerning the application of open-source software at NAVOCEANO; engaged the application of open-source software methodologies and techniques to the vast repositories of application software at NAVOCEANO; provided access to the Government of the intellectual capabilities of the open-source industry through OSSI; and provided a beta test site for the concepts and procedures of the OSSI.
Weathersby's successful first project helped establish the Open Source Software Institute's value. Without getting too far into the details and the acronyms that tend to confuse outsiders, the study identified many places where the NAVOCEANO had deployed open-source software solutions and achieved efficiencies. Additionally, the study found that open-source solutions were being used in mission critical applications.
CAPT Phil Renaud, Commanding Officer, Naval Oceanographic Office, comments on the significance of that first study in the following quote:
Although the Naval Oceanographic Office is an operational activity, we fully appreciate and understand the power of collaboration with academia, research and development organizations, and industry. Leveraging the knowledge and economies of scale available through partnerships is an essential ingredient in the recipe for success. Although it may be somewhat trite, there is great truth in the derived acronym: "TEAM" (Together Everyone Achieves More). One of our newest partners, through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), is the Open Source Software Institute. OSSI brings a wealth of open source software knowledge and experience to NAVOCEANO which we are confident will make our operations more efficient and effective. In turn, we will expose OSSI to a wealth of operational applications for open source software which should open many new doors of opportunity for the institute to explore. I am very excited about our newest partner and look forward to sharing many exciting successes with OSSI. Together we'll make NAVOCEANO, our Navy, and our Nation stronger.
Following that study, Weathersby began working more closely with the Navy on its open-source software initiatives.
The September 16, 2004, program promoted dialog among members of the the Navy divisions' offices and representatives of the open-source IT industry related to acquisition of open-source products and services within the Department of the Navy. The Program Executive Officer of PEO IT sponsored and hosted the event. Steven M. Ehrler, formerly a nuclear submarine officer, sponsored and hosted the event. The list of open-source vendors and their representatives included:
Hewlett-Packard - CJ Coppersmith
IBM - Greg Kelleher
Intel - Rick Jones
Red Hat- Michael Tiemann
gOSapps - Tom Walker
Computer Associates - Kapil Lohia
Novell/SuSE - Doug Rossie
Zope Corporation - Rob Page
Jboss - Martin Musierowicz
OSDL - Paula Hunter
Sun Microsystems - Dennis McLain
Weathersby presented an introduction to the meeting with four agenda items:
What is Open Source? What is Open Source?
Business Practices of Open-Source Software
Open Source Market Size/Scope Open Source Market
Examples of Open Source and the Navy - Specific PEO IT Issues
The attendees quickly learned from Weathersby that "open-source software has achieved widespread use in both industry and government, and its use is expected to continue to grow". He then reported on CRADA 01-008, dated August 13, 2003, which showed the use of open-source software in NAVO's principal shipboard data-gathering systems (ISS60), combined data storage and computational systems acoustic imaging. He also discussed increased technical and economical efficiencies and open-source software used in mission critical applications. A copy of the opening presentation can be found here.
Reference materials provided to the Navy during the briefing cover too many topics on such a wide spectrum that they cannot be summarized in this article. However, if you wish to view the materials to get an idea of the kinds of information available, here are links to some pertinent documents.
OSSI Position Paper: A Government Briefing Review of Open Source Software
Computer Associates White Paper: Exploiting the Potential of Linux
Government procurement people tell me they want IT vendors to bring them solutions; procurement frowns on having to do development internally. Unfortunately, these same people continue to buy inferior products based on Microsoft technology.
If you look at the vendors attending the Navy's Program Executive Office for Information Technology event depicted above, you would have to say a serious commitment to Linux and open-source software exists. Have you looked at the extensive list of products and services available for your agency? Have you considered the real cost savings?
Another point you might consider deals with vendors' perception of your procurement habits. When IBM and HP call your agency, do you frown at the mention of open-source solutions? If so, don't expect your vendor to bring you materials about their OSS offerings. You have turned them into an order-taker rather than a problem-solver.
Open-source solutions provide significant cost savings, work reliably and have proven themselves over and over. It's now time to examine your motives for dismissing these solutions. One thing we know for sure, the United States Department of the Navy has stopped dismissing them.
Tom Adelstein lives in Dallas, Texas, with his wife, Yvonne, and works as a Linux and open-source software consultant with Hiser+Adelstein, headquartered in New York City. He's the co-author of the book Exploring the JDS Linux Desktop and the upcoming book Essential Linux System Administration, to be published by O'Reilly and Associates. Tom has been writing articles and books on Linux since early 1999.

Do you want to market and grow your blog, just like the heavyweights in your niche? With a little know-how, you can transform your blog from amateur to champion.
Here are the 5 key hacks to get you there.
1) Optimize your content around keywords.
You may be able to create an amazing blog that truly resonates with an audience – however, this is fruitless if your blog is lost under the countless others in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages).
Optimizing your keywords allows you to amplify your content through larger traffic volumes; 81% of online purchase cycles begin with search.
Let's get started.
Step 1: Keyword Research
If you have a good idea of the kind of terms your target audience is searching for, you can start keyword research. Tools like SimilarWeb, Google AdWords, and others make this fairly straightforward.
When deciding which keywords you want to rank for, you must consider:
- Search volume: How many people are searching for the term?
- Relevance: Will this keyword draw in the right kind of traffic?
- Competition: Is it possible to rank well for this keyword?
You should prepare a long list of relevant keywords to incorporate into your content creation efforts.
Step 2: Optimize Your Content
Now you can start incorporating keywords into your content. Key areas your keyword should appear include:
- Title tags
- Meta descriptions
- Alt attributes
- URL structure
- Body content
And rather than spending your time memorizing SEO best practices, just get a plugin to do it for you. If you use WordPress, SEO by Yoast will show you exactly what you need to optimize for each blog post.
2) Write long-form, comprehensive content.
According to research by Buzzsumo and Moz, the vast majority of online content is fairly short:
It would seem that many bloggers aren't putting the required effort into creating long, detailed content that converts. As a result, the same study also found that long-form, research-backed content has a strong correlation between shares and links.
Research has also shown that long-form content gets better ranking in search.
So if you want your content to really stand out, put the effort into making it more comprehensive than your competitors.
3) Blog more frequently.
Many digital marketers hate to hear this fact, but the more you blog, the more traffic you get.
Research from Hubspot found that companies who published at least 16 posts per month received 3.5X more traffic than those who published 0-4 posts.
Planning to blog 16+ times a month can be overwhelming for many, but if you use WordPress, you can make use of an editorial calendar plugin to keep on track.
For some, it might be worth investing in some freelance writers to catch up on the slack. Writers can be found with nearly all skill levels (and rates of pay) on freelance websites like Fiverr or Guru. Consider the cost against the potential payoff for your indexed traffic.
Ensure you learn how to stay organised as a blogger to ensure maximum possibility for success.
4) Cross-link to other relevant posts.
In every blog post, you should look for opportunities to insert relevant links to other blog content from your site. This is good for SEO because:
- It encourages click through.
- Google considers internal links when indexing your pages.
Cross-link the right way, and you'll see a boost in SEO and increase traffic to your blog.
As time goes on, and assuming you've created excellent content, your blog posts will become part of an interlinking network that points to one another, increasing your domain authority and ranking.
First, find relevant posts related to your new content. Then, look for key phrases in your new post to serve as the anchor text for the links. These should be related to the current post's topic, since Google will use this information to rank the post.
5) Guest post on high-traffic niche websites.
Finding opportunities to guest post on high-traffic niche websites can give your own blog a big boost.
Getting backlinks from high authority sites is great for your own website's SEO. Ideally the website should be related to your niche, meaning it has an audience that would also be interested in your blog. This way you can also get traffic through the post directly.
Many high authority blogs offer guest posting opportunities. Some may not want you to link back to your blog in the post you write, but they almost always will give you a link back in the author's bio.
How do you find guest posting opportunities?
Think of a keyword related to your blog or a topic you'd like to write about, and then use it to find sites that might accept related content. You can perform a quick Google search for:
- Keyword + "write for us"
- Keyword + "guest post"
Most blogs will have published guidelines on how and what to submit. Just make sure you aren't pitching posts to your direct competitors.

Tune in to listen to NS1's Kris Beevers sharing how to pick the right tools for the job in digital transformation.
Full Transcript
Carl Lewis: Welcome to the Connected Enterprise Podcast. I'm Carl Lewis, your host from Vision33, and my guest is Kris Beevers, from NS1. Kris, welcome to the podcast.
Kris Beevers: Thanks for having me, Carl.
Carl Lewis: Please tell us about yourself and NS1.
Kris Beevers: NS1 provides DNS and DDI services. Basically, we sit right at the foundations of a network. DNS is the domain name system, and it connects you with the applications you use daily. We power those. I'm the CEO. My background is engineering, and I built a lot of our technology in the beginning.
Carl Lewis: NS1 did a great research report that blew me away. Could you tell us some important things that affect businesses of every size?
Kris Beevers: We did the report with IDC (International Data Corporation), and we found many fascinating data points, including what's holding companies back from their digital transformation goals. Of the surveyed organizations, 80% said they're struggling to reach some of their application delivery requirements on top of their existing infrastructure. Not a huge surprise, but that tells us the existing infrastructure isn't suitable for companies' digital transformation and application delivery goals. That's critical because almost every company uses applications.
Talent and skills gaps, competing priorities, businesses not having enough capacity, static infrastructures that are difficult to leverage, budget constraints, and tech debt are also holding companies back. Other effects were driven by this year's conditions – for example, a lot of acceleration and modernization because of COVID.
COVID has compressed six or ten years of digital transformation/modernization into six months or a year. Necessity is the mother of invention! Seventy percent of companies are prioritizing transformation initiatives around workforce mobility, which isn't a surprise. Sixty-eight percent are prioritizing remote data access, 65% automation, 61% security. Lots of interesting data about what's preventing companies from modernizing the areas they want to modernize, especially this year.
Carl Lewis: I noticed companies are modifying ecommerce areas. They were doing it already, but the landscape changed from being B2B to, suddenly, doing business with just one person. You'd think if they already had ecommerce, it would do that, but many B2B systems aren't built for that.
Kris Beevers: Consider your experiences as a consumer, like during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. What do we expect when we interact with ecommerce as private consumers? We expect a snappy experience. We expect the website to be up. If Amazon crashes, they lose millions of dollars per second. That's not true for every company, but every transaction matters. Every consumer experience matters. And when you go from ecommerce in B2B fashion to selling to individuals and interacting with consumers, expectations change. It's vital to provide a snappy user experience and rock-solid uptime.
Consumers aren't patient. If we click the checkout button and nothing happens for 30 seconds, we might abandon the transaction. We work on this with our customers. Large ecommerce companies that power the ecommerce behind hundreds of thousands of businesses invest in their ecommerce applications and make sure they provide great user experiences for their audiences. They're investing in resilience, uptime, and elasticity.
That's another thing companies investing in ecommerce are considering: elasticity to meet demand. Occasionally, you go viral, and you need to capture that opportunity, meet the demand in the moment, and scale up your ability to service those users.
Carl Lewis: And some companies – especially small ones – are moving at least part of their operations to the cloud because they can get almost instant resilience via an elasticity. Has that trend accelerated because of the virus?
Kris Beevers: Unquestionably. And you just used keywords that are worth reiterating. Companies are accelerating their digital transformations and their moves to the cloud because the cloud promises elasticity, automation, and scalability, which equals resiliency to rapidly changing/shifting conditions and unexpected events. We're in the biggest unexpected event of our lifetimes. We must be able to shift our investment strategies, infrastructures, and resources to meet new kinds of demands.
And listeners can't see it, but I'm waving my phone around. It represents a big trend. And not just driven by COVID. Over the last decade, we've seen more dynamic audiences interacting with our applications. Dynamic in the sense that we're all moving around all the time, either because we're working from home instead of offices or because we travel. So, we use different devices to interact with our applications.
And the businesses that are solving this best – the ones we associate with great performance and user experiences – have these positive indicators. They're investing in cloud technologies to automate scaling up to meet demand and shifting resources around as users come online in different parts of the world. And they're resilient because of that.
Carl Lewis: Everybody's used that word; elasticity. Everybody is stretched. And the great thing about the cloud is that it can return when things get back to normal. It can more easily respond to things like pandemics almost instantaneously compared to other technology options. And change is happening quickly. Like you said, you're compressing six years of changes into six months. What are the big challenges people face as they try to take advantage of the equipment?
Kris Beevers: One thing we see with our customers and in the market is that companies that want to make transformational investments move toward the cloud and modern applications. But they're held back by the foundational infrastructures operating the baseline components of their applications and technology. That's why I'm excited about where NS1 is. We're working in the guts of the network. The domain name system, like dotcoms, has been around for 40 years. And we don't consider them interesting places to make foundational technology investments. Same with IP addresses.
But almost all these transformational investments depend on the network. They depend on us interacting with compute, storage, and other resources in cloud and microservice ways over the network. They depend on interacting with our applications' consumers, increasingly over the network, whether that's VPNs for internal applications or over the internet. And because we depend more on the network in ways that demand dynamic footprints, elasticity, resilience, and automation, it's worth it to go back and think about how that network works.
Are there investments we can make at these foundational pieces of infrastructure, especially in the network, but also in storage, compute, and other elements, that have leveraged how the world now works? That's our basic thesis, but we see it more broadly than just in the DNS and DDI. These basic building blocks of technology infrastructure are being rethought and reinvested in, which is providing leverage to solve the big problems that otherwise hold you back.
You're working around the limitations of your foundations, and there are only so many times you can rebuild on top of a centuries-old foundation; eventually, you must rebuild that, too. That will enable you to build, do heights, and have more modern infrastructures. That's what customers are investing in with the cloud. It's about rethinking foundational infrastructures.
Carl Lewis: That makes me think of applications. They get written, designed, and rolled out on the foundations as they were. How are developers and those writing new software taking advantage of these new foundations? What was holding them back before? What's enabling them to upgrade now?
Kris Beevers: Automation. We've seen the emergence of this idea of dev ops – the combination of software development and the underlying infrastructure's operations. Businesses going through this rapid transformation are increasingly adopting this dev ops methodology. That's important because the infrastructure is part of your application. It's part of how you build and deliver the technology that serves your customers. You must consider how the infrastructure serves the application's purposes and how it interacts with the application's code, data, and connectivity. You must integrate the infrastructure into how you're building the application from the ground up. If you don't, you lose out on some benefits of those rethought foundations like the cloud's elasticity and resilience.
Customers like LinkedIn, Dropbox, and Salesforce – the biggest applications in the world – are thinking about the interaction between their infrastructure and the application's code from the beginning. About how they work together to meet customers' needs, including a resilient, snappy performance and a great user experience regardless of the conditions. That thinking isn't native to every company, but every company can get there with some simple, straightforward investments and by placing dev ops at the center of their technology strategy.
Carl Lewis: Many folks are working on making artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IOT), and electronic data interchange (EDI) take better advantage of new foundations. We're talking eCommerce, warehouse management systems, and the machine learning buzzwords. Kris, most companies are trying to get ahead of the curve. What's the next big thing? What are large enterprises preparing for?
Kris Beevers: There are a million things we could discuss here, but our customers see complexity and heterogeneity in their technology stacks in the future. And they're investing into that complexity. They're not trying to simplify everything, move everything to the cloud or SaaS, or go serverless.
They recognize there's going to be a place in their technology stack for traditional, data center, co-located, etc. infrastructures. A place for public cloud, SaaS technologies/services, serverless, and beyond. And the best companies in the world, including early-stage startups that seem like they have a clean slate because they're starting from scratch and can keep it simple, are not.
We always ask customers, "Do you run a data center in your headquarters closet? Are you running on AWS Lambda serverless with functions in the cloud with a few stops in between? What's in your stack on this spectrum of infrastructure complexity?" And invariably, they have five out of six kinds of infrastructure. And are okay with it. They're not trying to simplify; they're investing in tools to manage that complexity. They can apply the best tool for the job and direct traffic and workload where it will best be serviced.
That's what digital transformation is all about. It's not, "I'll move everything to the cloud." It's, "I'll apply these cloud, SaaS, or serverless technologies to the problems they're best suited for in my business. I'll use the right tool for the job." The best companies are investing in unlocking all the tools at their disposal and broadening their toolbox. That's where you'll get a competitive advantage. It isn't, "I'll migrate from the legacy way of doing things to the shiny new way of doing things." That's a never-ending cycle.
Carl Lewis: Exactly. I have 14 hammers in my toolbox and still wouldn't want to attack every problem with a hammer.
Kris Beevers: Time to get a screwdriver.
Carl Lewis: I have a drawer full of those, too! But what you're saying is that you shouldn't look at things and say, for example, "We must solve everything with our ERP system." Because maybe the eCommerce platform would be more effective for the innovation we want to do and the audience we want to serve. Kris, how has NS1 adapted its communication over the last eight months?
Kris Beevers: We've always been a very distributed business with offices all over the world. We had remote employees pre-COVID. I'm counting our blessings that we were already practiced at interacting remotely. Something that changed was the pace of change. It was incredible in 2020. We've been constantly replanning. Asking, "What's changing this month? What new thing are we learning about how the world will be?" Just since you and I last talked, we've learned the schedule of when we can get the vaccines.
It's changing how we're thinking about the future. And communications cadence has increased with the planning cadence. During COVID, we've gone from a once-every-couple-of-months all-hands meeting to a meeting almost every week. So many things changing creates so much uncertainty. Can I work in the office? Do I need to attend this meeting? How will we interact? What are our plans? You really need to over-communicate. That's been the biggest driver behind the changes.
We also had to quickly determine what this meant for customers. How does it affect them? What do they need from us? We needed our own elasticity and resilience. Our customers depend on us to get through these conditions.
Carl Lewis: Early in the experience – March 2020 – we did a podcast about working from home. How to set it up, how to get the provisions for it, etc. And just last week, someone thanked me for that. We helped our customers with the issues we knew they would face in the upcoming months.
Kris Beevers: We found that the most important element this year for literally everyone – employees, customers, partners, ourselves – was responding with empathy. Everybody's having a tough year. That's served us well. It positioned us as elastic strategic partners for our customers so we could support them through tough times. And through boom times – we've had customers do well this year.
Carl Lewis: Our listeners will be impressed with that observation and how your company has taken a lead on it. Kris, thanks for sharing your thoughts with us today.
Kris Beevers: Any time, Carl.
Carl Lewis: Well, everyone, thanks for joining us. Until next time, stay connected.

Turkish Education Ministry launches project to combat violence at schools
The Turkish Education Ministry has determined schools where violence against teachers is believed to be a significant yet under-investigated problem.
The ministry is set to form a new education model in these schools in a bid to "reintegrate students showing violent behavior due to problems stemming from various economic and social issues into society as healthy individuals," said state-run Anadolu Agency on April 16.
Authorities will undertake various works for students showing violence tendencies to get to know themselves, recognize their talents and develop their senses of responsibility, Anadolu Agency said.
The ministry launched its project after a student killed his teacher in the northwestern province of Kocaeli's Gebze district early this month.
The incident led officials to analyze violence cases committed against teachers nationwide since September last year and determine the schools "at most risk of violence" in the country.
Within the framework of the project, authorities decided to form an advisory board whose members will consist of representatives of relevant ministries, universities, NGOs and local administrations. This advisory board will not only be in contact with schools' counselor teachers, but also mathematics and Turkish language teachers who have the most classes with students throughout the week.
Students who get involved in violence at schools will also be assigned "mentors," who will be successful students from nearby universities. The Education Ministry will form a special education plan for these "mentors," who will be bestowed the official title of "mentor" only if they successfully complete the compulsory training.
Not only violence against teachers, but also peer bullying will be at the project's agenda.
Students will be warned against bullying behaviors at schools.

As seen in Guitar Girl Magazine Issue 8 – Spring 2019 – It's All About the Bass
Dear Alexx,
I live in a small town and have been gigging and doing everything DIY for the past couple of years and seem to be getting nowhere. What do you think would be the next best thing for me to do? YouTube channel with covers, move to a bigger city, hire a publicist?
~ Lost in a Small Town
Dear Lost in a Small Town,
Let me first start off by saying I feel your pain! These days, it's easier AND harder than ever to get your music out there as a 100 percent indie artist. What we have now that we didn't have before is social media, which is a great tool for getting your music out there to the masses, but the problem is, everyone is using it. How do you differentiate yourself from all of the other people who are doing the exact same thing?
The answer is, it's a multi-pronged effort, and it's going to take a huge investment in terms of time (and probably some money). Unfortunately these days, you need to spend a good majority of time on branding and marketing in addition to just being a good musician.
Would I hire a publicist? Perhaps. The problem is though, that they usually start around $1K a month. I'd say if you're going to go that route, maybe do an isolated campaign with them, for a single or album release. Also, ask around and get a good recommendation on one from friends. Ask them about their results, and which publications they were actually able to place them in. If you're on a budget and you want to be able to target your own publications, research some zines or blogs that cover music like yours, and write directly to one of their writers to ask for a review or feature. First, though, read some of their past work and comment on it when you write to them. Make it a personalized message. No one likes to feel like they're being networked with. Make a friend. Build a relationship. That's what publicists do, and their relationships are what you pay them for. Expanding on that, don't ever do a blanket email to a list of writers, labels, or anyone that you ever plan on working with. That's the fastest way to get blocked or for your material to go right into the trash.
Moving to a bigger city isn't necessarily the right answer. Being a big fish in a small pond definitely has its perks, and with the Internet, you can reach so many more people than just the ones in your small town. Doing some covers for your Youtube channel is a good way to draw in some new fans. You can also pepper some of your originals in once you've hooked them.
Here are some other immediate things you can do to work your existing social media pages and official site. Learn a bit about SEO or hire someone to do it for you. It'll boost your Google ranking so you'll come up higher in searches. Post content with consistency. If you don't have time every single day to create content, pick one day and spend it making a bunch of promo or live performance videos. Then, you can schedule it over the course of a week with scheduling tools like Later. You've got to keep the machine well oiled. Have fun with it. You don't always have to post something music-related, and you shouldn't because people not only want to get to know you for you, but they don't want to feel like they're constantly being marketed to.
I sincerely hope this helps you on your journey. Most importantly, don't feel discouraged. Even the people at the highest levels are trying to figure out what to do and how to draw new fans to their content. Just be you, keep material coming, and be willing to learn some new skills, like video editing and maybe the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite, and ask questions of people who are more successful than you! People are more willing to help than you think, myself included!

NanoAntibiotics Changes Name to BioVie (OTC PINK: BIVI) and Welcomes Dr. Patrick Yeramian to Clinical Team
BEVERLY, MA--(Marketwired - August 22, 2016) - BioVie Inc. (OTC PINK: BIVI) (the "Company," formerly NanoAntibiotics, Inc.), a development-stage company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of innovative drug therapies, announced today that shareholders have approved changing the company name to BioVie Inc. The Company's stock will now trade under the symbol "BIVI." More information is available at www.biovieinc.com.
BioVie also welcomed Dr. Patrick Yeramian as consultant Medical Director to guide the clinical development program for the Company's new drug candidate, BIV201. This novel therapeutic is based on proprietary CIPT Technology and is being developed to treat ascites due to liver cirrhosis, a life-threatening condition. "Dr. Yeramian's broad experience, proven track record, and professional connections make him a great addition to our team. He has already made important contributions to our investigational new drug (IND) application which is progressing ahead of schedule. His expertise will be invaluable for clinical trial execution," commented CEO Jonathan Adams.
Prior to joining the BioVie team, Dr. Yeramian worked with the Company's regulatory expert, Stacy Suberg, Ph.D. "I've worked with Stacy on successful clinical trials in the past. I look forward to working with her again, and the other members of the BioVie team. The therapeutic concept behind BIV201 is based on compelling data, which spurred my interest in the clinical program," commented Dr. Yeramian.
Dr. Yeramian brings three decades of experience in research and drug and medical device development to BioVie's management team. He has served as a medical director for multiple organizations including Searle Pharmaceuticals (now Pfizer), the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute of Florida, and TapImmune Inc. During his career, he has helped companies secure over $25 million in grants and awards, filed more than 20 investigational new drug and device applications (INDs/CTX/CTAs), and won regulatory approvals for five new drugs and devices.
BioVie's immediate goal for BIV201 is to commence a clinical trial as early as 2017, contingent on FDA acceptance of an Investigational New Drug ("IND") application, which is currently in development. For more information, please visit our website www.biovieinc.com.
About Liver Cirrhosis and Ascites
About one million Americans and millions worldwide suffer from liver cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is the 12th-leading cause of death due to disease in the US, killing an estimated 27,000 people each year. The condition results primarily from hepatitis, alcoholism, and fatty liver disease linked to obesity. Ascites is a common complication of advanced liver cirrhosis. With no medications approved by the FDA specifically for treating ascites, an estimated 40% of patients die within two years of diagnosis. Certain drugs approved for other uses may provide initial relief, but patients may fail to respond to treatment as ascites worsens. This unfavorable prognosis represents a critical unmet medical need. US treatment costs for liver cirrhosis, including ascites and other complications, are estimated at more than $4 billion annually.
About BioVie (formerly NanoAntibiotics)
BioVie Inc. is a development-stage company pursuing the discovery, development, and commercialization of innovative drug therapies. The Company is currently focused on commercializing BIV201, a novel approach to the treatment of ascites due to liver cirrhosis. In early 2016 the Company held a pre-investigational new drug ("pre-IND") meeting with the FDA, which provided guidance for an IND submission. The Company's new drug candidate could potentially commence US clinical trials as early as 2017.
