Didn't GlaxoSmithKline just do something similar?
Indeed it did, just a few weeks ago (PRWeek, 25 June).
So has anyone said 'déjà vu'?
Certainly not in Lilly's earshot. The timing is 'purely coincidental', the company insists, adding that 'patients, customers and critics are looking for transparent answers'.
And everyone is buying that?
Yes. As you'll recall, GSK scotched the idea that its own register was set up in response to ongoing controversies over the anti-depressant Paxil/Seroxat. Times are changing in the pharma industry. It's undoubtedly true that the idea of greater transparency has been gaining public ground recently and Lilly insists that it had been planning to do something like this anyway.
When Lilly says 'all' clinical trials, does it mean all?
It will start with all trials of marketed products completed after 1 July this year. But it will also have retrospective details on drugs approved since 1994.
When will information be available?
For most products, Lilly will disclose results when a drug's indication is approved and it's commercially available. It will also put them into the public domain through peer-reviewed medical journals.
Does this move tell us anything new about pharma PR?
As many patients demand to become better informed and public healthcare provision changes, more information is out there, which means more PR strategies are required to filter and present it to various audiences.
So Lilly says this will present it with fresh comms challenges?
Its pointed remark that results that 'do not support the hypothesis being tested or that are contrary to the expected outcome will be disclosed' suggests a firm that does not expect everything to be plain sailing.

Terabits by Twisted Light: The Optical Communications Revolution
Jun 27, 2012 8:00 AM PT
Twisted infrared light beams have propelled wireless data transmission to a dazzling 2.56 terabits per second via a system developed by a multinational team of researchers led by the Optical Communications Laboratory at the University of Southern California.
The process, called "orbital angular momentum" (OAM) multiplexing, essentially twists beams of light so that they can carry more data, more quickly than ever before.
Broadband cable supports the transmission of around 30 megabits per second; this system transmits more than 85,000 times that amount.
Light Research
The work of these scientists builds on prior OAM research by Leslie Allen, Anton Zeilinger, Miles Padgett and others.
"The basic ideas were out there," said Alan Willner, the Steven and Kathryn Sample Chair in Engineering at USC and one of the authors of the team's recent Nature Photonics article about the research.
"We just pushed things further," he told TechNewsWorld.
To accomplish the feat, Willner -- along with colleagues from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, China, Pakistan and Israel -- manipulated eight beams of light, twisting each one into a helical shape and sending it through free space to a receiver in the lab.
Twisted light beams are particularly powerful because they can encode tremendous amounts of data, and twisting them in various ways and directions only increases that data capacity. It far exceeds anything possible with radio frequencies such as those currently used for WiFi and cellular communications.
"With optics, you can encode more data than you can with radio waves," noted Willner.
Applications and Limitations
Before long, this research, which was funded by the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as a part of the InPho (Information in a Photon) program, will find its way into a variety of applications, both in space and on Earth, predicted Willner.
"In the future, this will likely require a more cost-effective and integrated approach," he said. "Ours was a demonstration on a limited scale to show that you can do terabits."
At least in the near term, the technology's potential applications for terrestrial communications are limited, since it requires a clear line of sight and no turbulence or other interference.
"Even [on] a clear day, the turbulent atmosphere will distort the phase front of the light waves," Mohsen Kavehrad, the W. L. Weiss Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University, told TechNewsWorld. "It is a bad idea to rely on phase manipulations for unguided atmospheric transmissions. [It] may be better to be used in vacuum."
Because of atmospheric issues, therefore, the process might be more practical in satellite and space communications than on Earth, since space has no turbulence, according to Moshe Tur, a professor of electrical engineering at Tel-Aviv University who helped to develop the ideas behind this work and contributed to the research.
"[This work] can find various applications where large amounts of data must be exchanged between two points and OAM multiplexing is technically and economically advantageous," Tur told TechNewsWorld. "Turbulence may hurt performance of such optical wireless links, which means that longer-range applications can succeed in space."
Just as promising is the possibility that OAM processes could be adapted to fiber optic cables, which are the basis of the Internet and most other terrestrial communications.
"OAM modes can play even a more important role in fiber-optic communications, where work on all forms of space-division multiplexing is currently a very hot research topic," noted Tur. "Preliminary results on long-range OAM transmission have already been reported."
There are many other potential applications of OAM data transmission, including medical imaging and even the detection of landmines.
Fundamental Change
"It's very exciting for a number a fields," IT consultant Bill St. Arnaud told TechNewsWorld. "There's a huge range of applications, once people start to realize its impact. It'll be a few years before the technology becomes commonplace, but the potential is significant."
OAM technology is so fundamental that it will likely change the ways researchers think about communications and imaging for generations, said St. Arnaud.
"It's one of those fundamental new technologies that will have an impact across a whole range of fields," he remarked. "It's like the discovery of electricity."

The response from Dell was 'when we say it's wire speed, we don't really mean it. This switch is not designed for your application'! After discussions with some of their technical people, the conclusion was that the switch had enough buffer memory to run wire speed with MTU=1500 but not with MTU=9000.

"Premature Aging" and HIV: Dispelling Myths and Calculating Risk
September 19, 2012
Here's the bottom line on "accelerated aging" among people with HIV: It's probably not as bad as you think.
Plenty of scary headlines have made their way across the Internet in recent years, decrying the body-decaying effects of getting older and portraying the sense that HIV (or HIV meds) causes people to suffer these problems at far higher rates far earlier in their lives. And by "far earlier," some experts felt we were talking as many as 20 years earlier, according to some of the first research that explored the issue.
But the problem that often occurs with early research is that it's ... well, a bit premature in its findings. "There certainly is more of a trend for HIV-positive people to be a bit younger" when they develop certain health problems, says Amy Justice, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of medicine and public health at the Yale School of Medicine. "But when I say a bit younger, we're talking about somewhere between one and six years -- we're not talking about 20 or 30 years."
Justice should know: She is one of the world's leading researchers on aging and HIV. As the lead investigator of the massive Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS), it's her job to delve into one of the largest troves of information in existence and help us all better understand the ways in which HIV intersects with other health problems that emerge as we get older.
What she and her team have found is rewriting much of we thought we knew about aging and HIV. It's also helping us figure out some concrete steps we can take to prevent or treat health problems we associate with "premature aging."
A Rose by Any Other Name
To begin with, our whole approach to the idea of "early aging" misses the mark, Justice says. "If you talk to anyone who is a geriatrician -- who studies aging -- they will say this concept of 'premature aging' is a misnomer," she explains. "If you look at anyone with chronic disease, they look older than someone without chronic disease."
The problem, Justice says, is not that people with HIV are "getting older" more quickly. Instead, what happens is that HIV, like many other chronic illnesses (such as diabetes), sometimes triggers or worsens other health issues -- many of which we're naturally at greater risk for as we get older. "Are people who are sick and have HIV more frail, more likely to have problems with their health, than someone who's not? Of course they are," Justice says. "Why do we have to invoke 'premature aging' when we talk about that?"
Defining the Risk
Through her work with VACS, Justice and her colleagues have uncovered some of the most reliable information we've learned to date about the timing of various health problems in people with HIV.
Here's how the study works: More than 7,400 people living in or near eight U.S. cities are enrolled in VACS. The HIV-positive people are "matched" against HIV-negative people who otherwise have extremely similar characteristics (such as age, location and race). The study then follows these people over time and records when they develop various health complications.
When comparing the HIV-positive people to the HIV-negative people, VACS has found that HIV-positive people:
This isn't the only research being done to make more accurate estimates of how much "earlier" people with HIV develop health problems. Less than two years ago, a major study funded by the National Cancer Institute found that previous estimates drastically overestimated how much earlier people with HIV develop certain cancers, because it didn't properly take people's ages into account.
But why is it that studies such as VACS manage to find such a smaller age difference than earlier studies had found? Which findings should you believe more?

On a blazing hot day, eager exhibitors hurried across the fairgrounds, where they were adding the final touches to the myriad of booths and displays. Flocks of anxious kids arrived proudly swinging their bag of recyclables in one hand and dragging their parents with the other hand to an eye-catching van used by storm chasers. After surveying the crowd and the layout of the fair, I was overwhelmed with a sense of relief; three months of planning had paid off for us. With no rain in the forecast and everything in place, the Green Fair was ready to begin on the grounds of the National University of Pedro Henriquez Urena (UNPHU) in the Dominican Republic.
Last summer, U.S. Embassy Santo Domingo's "Green Team" celebrated the third annual Green Fair, which attracted more than 850 adults and children and brought together the public and private sector to address eco-friendly practices and "green" initiatives. During the opening ceremony, Ambassador Raul Yzaguirre, the Rector of UNPHU, and Dr. Bautista Rojas Gómez, the new Minister of the Environment, emphasized the important role that each individual plays in improving the environment and highlighted the successes of public-private partnerships in their country.
Each person, organization, and community must do their part to keep the environment in good shape for future generations. Accordingly, the fair showcased 37 exhibitions, including an artisans' market; a green market with fresh, organic products; a solar-powered house; free veterinary services for pets; a film festival featuring environmentally-themed documentaries; and a stirring nature photo exhibit, entitled "A Glimpse of Your Planet." Mrs. Yzaguirre and Lucia Amelia Cabral, a local author, engaged the kids with animated readings of environmentally-themed books, and artist Claudio Cohen and the Ministry of Environment children's choir kept the crowd energized with a lively selection of songs. UNPHU's dance and jazz department and a local percussion group impressed the crowd using nature-themed music and recycled products in their performances.
For the fair, the Green Team used the motto "live green," because we wanted the event to demonstrate why and how we should integrate green practices in our daily lives. Recycling is critical -- and those who brought a bag of recyclables to the fair received a discount at the fair's green market -- but preserving the environment is also about living a healthier lifestyle. So, we used the fair to generate awareness of health issues and discussed the principles outlined in First Lady Michelle Obama's campaign against childhood obesity, "Let's Move!". People attending the fair had the opportunity to workout to free pilates, hip hop, and zumba sessions in the afternoon.
Our Green Fair would not have been possible without the assistance of many volunteers. Volunteerism is an American tradition, but the spirit of community cooperation certainly knows no geographic boundaries. I am seeing that firsthand here in the Dominican Republic. In May 2010, U.S. Embassy employees created the Green Team, with the objective of increasing awareness of environmental issues both within the embassy and the larger Dominican community. Within a year of launching an embassy-wide recycling program, the Green Team has collected over 30 tons of paper and plastic items. The Green Team has also organized tree-planting projects, beach clean-ups, and a fashion show showcasing recycled garments made by Dominican designers. Earlier this year, the Green Team successfully petitioned to make the Ambassador's garden a certified wildlife habitat.
Clearly, no matter where one lives, there are opportunities to help make a difference in the local community. How will you serve? If you are living in the United States, you can visit www.serve.gov to learn about opportunities to get started.
Editor's Note: This year, MLK Day commemorations will coincide with the U.S. Presidential Inauguration, so President Obama is asking all American citizens to join him in participating in a National Day of Service on Saturday, January 19.

Until then, I'll act like all the other employees." A problem often seems obvious to everyone except oneself. A person doesn't lead by some anointed authority. A person leads with actions. Football coach Vince Lombardi said: "Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all-the-time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time." Leadership is no different. It's not a sometime thing; it's an all-the-time thing. Leadership might be as simple as being the first to step forward to tackle a tough situation or staying late to solve a difficult problem. It is demonstrated first by supporting the initiatives of other leaders. Actions always speak louder than words, and leaders must make sure their actions reinforce the behavior, attitudes and aptitudes they want others to follow. All leaders are learners first. Leaders commit to a written plan for leadership development that helps them grow in their profession and increase their capabilities. Although there is no single prescription, a properly designed plan should include measurable goals. The process usually begins with an evaluation to benchmark your current skill level. The plan should include components to improve education and increase experience. It should rely heavily on mentor/protégé relationships. It should be supported by a communication strategy that allows you to share your new skills and abilities. Here are several examples: 1.Measurable goals. People respond to goals. We're wired to reach for the next step. To do so, we must set goals that are specific and include a time frame for completion. In leadership development, the goal might be complex and time-consuming, such as earning a new degree or achieving a certain level of financial success. Whatever it is, don't make it too safe, and allow yourself space for a noble failure. 2.Education. School doesn't stop when you receive a diploma. People are better prepared for life in the real world if they assume that a college degree is a license to learn. A professional leader makes himself ready for anything by continuously learning and growing a reservoir of capabilities through education, inside and outside the traditional classroom. 3.Experience. You can't learn to walk without falling down; you can't learn to run without skinning your knees. In these cases, it isn't the failure you focus on, but rather, the success. In a leadership development plan, however, commitment to a variety of experiences (things you do or try as you develop the capacity to lead) promotes the learning process and teaches multiple lessons. Failure is rarely fatal, but the lessons of success and failure are critical to leadership development. 4.Mentor/protégé relationship. Nothing teaches like experience. Yet an effective—if underused—way is to learn from those who have "been there and done that." Asking a senior-level person to act as your mentor and help guide your decisions is an excellent way for both of you to grow professionally. Include regular visits, informal conversations and homework assignments based on specific goals for professional and business growth. The best relationships are between unrelated parties.

Can we have good links pls?
can i get a link for this episode please and thank you
Vshare.eu 's links ate not working,
@Tonia1 please stop putting gotham links in Cloak & Dagger
@Schrunsekris http://moviestreaming.fun/tvepisodes/jane-the-virgin-4x3-watch-online/
@ray4all I have not, is it worthy? Any shows to which to compare?
has anyone a working link please?
Ending sucks. Where are the cops? 100's of witnesses recording on phones but zero cops. Buncha kids come out the classrooms fighting but zero teachers till the end? BS BAD WRITING
Nice show but so unrealistic...EVERY ASSAULT IN PUBLIC would result in an arrest, even the broke ass crak house down the road has 2 cameras watching, you telling me Larusso has 100's of THOUSANDS of dollars in property n cars BUT ZERO CAMERAS? & Never called the cops? BS in the meantime the douchebag from the 1st movie rewrites history to paint larusso as a villain is weak...then theres the asult n chase scene in the mall with dozens of witnesses & absolutely nobody called cops? THIS SHOWS KINDA GOOD BUT COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC. These writers have no clue how things work in 2019, this is NOT the 80's , BUT EVERYONE ACTS LIKE IT IS. Iget it, you have no story if the cops get called, mabey the antagonist shoulda been a cop then there would be a reason not to call them. It doesnt sound like i like the show but I DO LIKE IT, just get frustrated at the writing decisions... RANT OVER
#WhiskeyCavalier #HeartsAndMinds #S01E09 was perhaps one of the best episodes of this Hilarious TV Series, rivaling only #Leverage in its Brilliance and Light-Heartedness, especially for a #Crime #Drama #Spy #Comedy. The Cast Dialogue, Body Language and Nonverbal Haptics, absolutely make me laugh aloud. Each and every actor does such an excellent job in the portrayal of their roles, that it is difficult to say who isn't carrying their weight on The Show. I would venture to guess that the versatility of #ScottFoley (s) and #TylerJamesWilliams (') repertoire are loosely scripted, and more likely impromptu dialogue. It is not too often that I find something to be so funny, that I end up laughing aloud by myself. A good example of this is the last 10 or so minutes at the end of the episode, just watch and you will soon realize just how good this new television series really is, in so many different ways.
Damn that was one cliché season! Hard to watch, and apparently we're gonna need a 3rd season too... Sigh. Why do I keep watching?? ;p
Chicago P.D.: 6x19 https://myseries4you.com/episodes/chicago-p-d-season-6-episode-19-watch-online/
The Internal episode also lacks the chickenshit cover-our-asses that CBS tacked onto this true-to-life episode in the form of a public service announcement. I watched it live and finally found it on a Vidoza crap recording with commercials, and a Twitter link here: https://twitter.com/i/status/1121292774148640768. The CBS message to viewers is clear: (in the immortal words of A Few Good Men) You can't handle the truth! Nah, it's just a few vets here and there having a bad day; nothing to see here folks; the VA is your friend
@Kruciphix--it's one of those nights...not good links for a lot of shows--all the early stuff is SD screen recordings. I found a Vidoza, but it's the same crap
We don't want the same links that are already uploaded...
Can we PLS have good links here it's been 2 hours since the last link (and it is a bad link)
These links suck. It's like you don't even care any longer to bring some quality shit. Stop blindly uploading crap video with 1940s AM radio sound quality.
Can we have some good links here pls?
this is the wrong episode
Can we have good links here pls?
Just found out that every damn SOURCE (NOT THE LINKERS) has cut serious aftershow information. If your link is only 41:35, wait for the Internal version. The most important show about veterans in years and some assholes can't even wait a few seconds more to make sure they got all of it.
If you don't believe this is the reality of veterans' care, ask a vet enlisted man. Entrenched third-rate career bureaucrats and politicians have allowed what was poor under Clinton to become worse under Bush and hellish under Obama. It's improved a little under Trump, but Cerberus the dog will still get better care than a psychologically wounded vet.
Every American should watch this episode--and be ashamed
Top links are for ep9 and also the only working links. Where is ep8?
yes, it's a different thing
Me i share other website links (that aren't mine or aren't the website of people i know) just to help others find the episode they want to watch when the episode links doesn't work here anymore. I do this like that because i'm not an uplaoder but i want to help. Doing that sometime is good but not all the time (not everyday).
@ouddaimrane, I understand you, but to make your site known or to promote it, there are social networks for that. Exist facebook, twitter, instagram reedit, etc. I do not think it's fair to steal visitors from this site and come to you on the site. This also applies to the oldboy3 user and others who do this.
oh my God this made me bawl like a baby.
@Wojo I get it bro and I am apologizing to everyone here , i will try to become an uploader again , i just need people to know about my website
whyyyy has a week 7 days? takes too long to wait for the next episode....but on the other hand I don´t want it to be over
It doesn't bother me, but as you can see it does bother some people. This site has a lot of flaws but despite all that it is actually quite tidily organised. Linking here makes it look a bit messy.
@WoJo I inderstand bro , youre right but i already asked for being an uploader here but no one respond or gave me permission that why I publish in comments i am sorry bro if this bothering you, i apoligize
@ouddaimrane I agree with polferis. This is a place for reviews and discussions concerning episodes/shows (and some occasional drama). You can always become an "uploader" and put your website as a "link". I understand that you might disagree and want to promote (what appears to be) a competitor website here, but you don't have to be aggressive. Also making a space (' ') before punctuations is infuriating.
TOP 25 scenes as voted on by fans. What fans? WHERE? WHEN?
is this site yours ??
@ouddaimrane, don't promote your website here!

Part 1: Introduction
The deadline for the tender is: 12/02/2018
Part 2: About the EEB and the Zero Mercury Working Group
Our website for more information: www.eeb.org / http://www.zeromercury.org
Part 3: Tender
The Zero Mercury campaign at the EEB would like to build a new website for Zero Mercury Campaign/Zero Mercury Working Group based on the existing website available at www.zeromercury.org – while maintaining the URL.
Active since 2005 the Zero Mercury Campaign, having grown into the Zero Mercury Working Group has a long history of action. We would like to see a visual update of the website, to a more modern and user-friendly visual look. The division of sections, and their related subsections should be divided between introductory and advanced mercury issues.
- We would like to convey through our website an approachable and educational tool for mercury related issues.
- On the other hand, on separate tabs we would like to make available the recent activity related:
The distinction between the "introduction to mercury" section and the "Policy" and "Projects" sections should be clear. We would like a visualization of introducing the general public to mercury through its various topics (processes, products etc), and then at the end of the page have a link where an individual can arrive at how the Zero Mercury Working Group is working on that specific issue at project and policy level as relevant. Simultaneously however, we would like to have a tab where stakeholders familiar with mercury issues and/or our work, can get directly to the advanced information without going through the introductory informational section or tabs.
We are looking for a proposal that explains in detail how the concept note below can be implemented.
Tender: revamp a website
Please include the following and their related costs (separately) in your quote:
Indicative timeline
Criteria to be considered during evaluation
Part 4: Functionality
Home page
The home page is meant to be a public oriented landing page for individuals wishing to learn about mercury. The first image should be a large slider which in principle will not change over time. The slider will include 4-5 pictures referring to introductory information about the challenges surrounding mercury pollution, but also to some of the priority areas we work on.
Above it, a horizontal menu, with dropdown elements can be displayed, dividing between general mercury information, the policy work that ZMWG does along with current projects and other elements (to be detailed at a later stage e.g about us etc). Below the slider there will be some space to describe ZMWG group as an organization and post our latest news. There should also be space to include a footer providing our location and contact information.
As examples please see http://www.artisanalgold.org/ or www.sradev.org
The website should provide country-specific pages/posts with contact information for our different national partners, in addition to a description and updates of relevant projects that they do appearing within our website (via posts) apart from linking back to national websites. Accessing these country specific pages should be done through a map, e.g. found on "About us" page. The map needs to highlight somehow differently countries where EEB/ZMWG are funding (or have funded) directly projects, whilst providing a link to that campaign (page/post).
We would also need to post updates about the relevant projects/campaigns, that will simultaneously appear in the "What's new" section of the home page.
Technical prerequisites:
The CMS should be WordPress to align with our other websites. The current site is working with Joomla.
Visual identity / look and feel:
We do want to update, but not reinvent the visual identity of the Zero Mercury Campaign/ Working Group.
The Zero Mercury logo stays unchanged and is our branding basis. We would like the look and feel of the new website to be more visually oriented, as now it feels a bit text-heavy.
Footer: Logos and disclaimers of EC will need to go somewhere at the bottom

By Abraham Marca, ChildFund Bolivia
"My dear baby, I'm awaiting you with hope," is how Rilma, 32, starts a letter to her son. However, he is not traveling around the world or even far from her. He is pretty close by, in fact, residing in Rilma's womb.
"I'm a little afraid for the moment when you will be born, but don't you worry, I'll give the best of me, so things can go well, and I will welcome you with the same joy and emotion as I did with your older brothers," Rilma continues in a letter to her unborn child. This is one of many activities Rilma and other expectant mothers perform at Un Nuevo Caminar, ChildFund's local partner organization in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
There, women receive free prenatal examinations, pregnancy exercises and infant-care training, including how to identify danger signs and more.
Dr. Pamela Lopez, who works at Un Nuevo Caminar, tells us, "Every day I can see and understand how big a mother's love is. Working with them is touching; when they smile at the moment they feel their baby or listen to their baby's heartbeat, it's a very special moment for them."
The mothers also practice with a doll, to whom they show their feelings, Lopez says. "I usually tell them, 'Madam, this is your baby. What's the first thing you would tell him?' And they answer, 'I'd give him a little kiss, I'd hold him, I'd tell him how much I love him.' "
Babies are born with the potential to succeed, which parents and other caretakers must nurture. "Our work is to strengthen that link, so it could be stronger and unbreakable," Lopez says. "It's a great experience, sharing that unique and particular moment in their lives."
Ten expectant mothers and 112 children under the age of 5 (along with their mothers) are now enrolled in Un Nuevo Caminar. They participate in stimulation exercises, so the children can gain skills naturally and can also understand and discover the world around them.

[Cancion Sencilla translation]from Vuelta
My love, I'm sorry not to have written you sooner
Even though I always wanted to, I could not
What can I say? I'm a little slow
It took me all these years to learn your beautiful language
And still not well enough
So I offer you my first attempt
A simple song which says only that I love you
Already problems present themselves:
Your reflexive pronouns,
Your accords [of gender and number]
Your accents
Not to mention your subjunctive
That fascinating, esoteric, impenetrable mystery
Which for the moment I don't need to use
Because my love is so certain
Let's pass our nights whispering,
Conjugating your beautiful verbs
Let's begin - you have so many:
I live, you live, we will live
I love, you love, we will love
To leave, to return, to stay
And, of course, to whisper
I love you
Note: this is not an adaptation (that is, a translation intended to "work" - be sung, in this case - within the same meter and structure of the original). These are the ideas of the original, translated without any regard for form. -RS

Students win national material handling design competition
Four students from RIT's industrial and systems engineering program built a model manufacturing plant that won first place in the 2011–2012 College Industry Council on Material Handling Education student design competition.
This was the first year the RIT team took top honors at the national event. The $2,000 award will be split among the team—Matthew Myers, Austin Chacosky, Bridget Eggers and Leila Rozenman—all undergraduates in RIT's Kate Gleason College of Engineering.
The model designed had to include not only equipment placement in the physical space, but the material handling, supply- chain management and logistical coordination needed for a fully-functioning steel tool plant and distribution center.

The team time trial has become a favourite of race director Angelo Zomegnan. The TTT always tended to be the preserve of the Tour de France, but the last three editions of the Giro have kicked off with one. This first Italian stage of the race is a team time trial with a difference.
The distance is moderate, the roads almost dead straight, but it's unusual to see a TTT that climbs as much as this. The rise in altitude of more than 200m is significant and will allow the best-organised teams to gain crucial time gaps.
Procycling's favourite to win:
HTC-Columbia won the Giro's TTT last year and will be favourites again. But it's already clear Team Sky are among the best-prepared outfits around. Their powerful mix of strong time triallists and track-honed pursuiters gives them an edge. Some of the weaker teams could finish over three minutes down today.
Pinotti says:
"This is steadily uphill all the way, but not enough for climbing ability to be a factor. Wind shouldn't matter too much in this part of Italy, either.
"Of the teams with overall contenders, Liquigas are one of the best equipped, but my HTC-Columbia team, Saxo Bank and Garmin should all be better, depending on who they bring."
