Bio-Path Holdings Provides Clinical Update and 2020 Business Outlook
HOUSTON, Jan. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bio-Path Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ: BPTH), a biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary DNAbilize® antisense RNAi nanoparticle technology to develop a portfolio of targeted nucleic acid cancer drugs, today provides an update from several clinical development programs and a 2020 business overview.
"We enter 2020 with robust development plans to commence several key clinical trials that are expected to advance our DNAbilize antisense RNAi nanoparticle technology in a number of important oncology indications for which there are limited treatment options," said Peter H. Nielsen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bio-Path. "We are excited to initiate a number of important studies across our development pipeline and anticipate reporting key clinical datapoints from those studies later in the year."
Phase 2 Study of Prexigebersen in Untreated and Refractory/Resistant Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Patients
In March 2019, Bio-Path announced a revised strategy for the Stage 2 portion of its Phase 2 clinical trial of prexigebersen in combination with frontline chemotherapy. Bio-Path's amended Stage 2 of the Phase 2 clinical trial will treat two cohorts of patients. The first cohort is to include untreated AML patients as existed in the pre-amended trial but with the addition of untreated, high-risk MDS patients. The second cohort is to include refractory/relapsed AML patients and high-risk MDS patients. Both cohorts of patients are planned to be treated with the combination of prexigebersen, decitabine and venetoclax. The Company is finalizing amendments to add this combination treatment to Stage 2 of the Phase 2 clinical trial.
The first step in the revised strategy involved testing the safety of the combination of prexigebersen and decitabine. In November 2019, the Company announced successful completion of this safety testing in AML and MDS patients in Stage 2 of the Phase 2 clinical study. The safety segment of Stage 2 of the Phase 2 clinical trial comprised six evaluable patients who were treated with the combination of prexigebersen and decitabine. Although the combination of prexigebersen and decitabine is not the treatment currently planned for the efficacy evaluation of Stage 2 of the Phase 2 clinical trial, the efficacy profile in this safety segment of the study was very encouraging, with 50% of patients having a response, including two patients (33%) showing complete responses with incomplete hematologic recovery and one patient (17%) showing partial response. For reference, in this class of AML and MDS patients, the complete response rate to treatment with decitabine alone is approximately 20%. Some patients are continuing to receive treatment.
The next step in this Stage 2 of the Phase 2 program will be the safety testing of prexigebersen in combination with decitabine and venetoclax in six evaluable patients drawn from either of the two cohorts of untreated AML and high-risk MDS patients or relapsed/refractory AML and high-risk MDS patients. The Company currently expects to initiate this safety testing in the second quarter of 2020. Assuming successful completion of this safety testing, the Company plans that it would then initiate the efficacy testing of this triple combination in the two cohorts of patients. In 2020, Bio-Path intends to continue its efforts to expand the number of sites, including European-based sites, to enhance patient enrollment.
The clinical design of the Stage 2 portion of the Phase 2 clinical trial calls for an interim analysis of each cohort's results after each cohort has treated 19 evaluable patients. If the results from either or both patient cohorts exceed expectations for current standard-of-care therapy, the Company expects that plans for a pivotal trial would be discussed with the FDA.
Phase 2a Study of Prexigebersen to treat Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) in Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Failures and Accelerated and Blast Phase CML Patients
Bio-Path plans to enroll patients in a Phase 2a clinical study of prexigebersen in combination with the frontline therapy, dasatinib, for the treatment of CML in tyrosine kinase inhibitor failures and accelerated and blast phase patients in 2020. The trial is expected to be conducted at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center as a potential salvage therapy for accelerated and blast phase CML patients and will expand to other sites if feasible. Recent advances in the treatment of chronic phase CML patients with tyrosine inhibitors has limited the availability of these patients for the Bio-Path Phase 2a. As a result, the continuation of this study is being evaluated based on the potential for patient availability and clinical trial site expansion. If this Phase 2a study is advanced, it will evaluate two cohorts of three evaluable patients at two doses (60 mg/m2 and 90 mg/m2) of prexigebersen in combination with dasatinib.
Phase 1 Study of Prexigebersen in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors
In late 2019, Bio-Path filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial of prexigebersen in patients with advanced solid tumors, including ovarian and uterine, pancreatic and breast cancer. This trial is expected to commence after the IND has been cleared by the FDA, which we currently anticipate being in 2020, at several leading cancer centers and will evaluate the safety of prexigebersen in these patients. Assuming positive Phase 1 results, the Company expects it would advance to a Phase 1b clinical trial of prexigebersen in combination with frontline therapy in these same advanced solid tumor patients.
Phase 1 Study of BP1002 in Refractory or Relapsed Lymphoma Patients and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients
In November 2019 the FDA cleared the IND for BP1002 (liposomal Bcl-2), the Company's second drug candidate, to begin a Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate BP1002 as a treatment for refractory/relapsed lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients. This study is expected to commence in the first half of 2020 and is expected to be conducted at several premier oncology centers, including the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and is planned to evaluate the safety of BP1002 in several dose escalating cohorts to determine a maximum tolerated dose.
Preclinical Development of BP1003
The Company continues to advance its third investigational drug candidate, BP1003, for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including pancreatic cancer. BP1003 is an antisense RNAi nanoparticle targeting the Stat3 protein.
In 2020 Bio-Path expects to complete several IND-enabling studies for BP1003. If those studies are successful, Bio-Path expects that it would file an IND in late 2020 for the first-in-humans Phase 1 study of BP1003 in patients with refractory/metastatic solid tumors including pancreatic, non-small cell lung cancer, and colorectal cancers.
BP1003 has demonstrated efficacy in combination with frontline therapies in animals against pancreatic tumors.

Precarious Faces
P.S. Bouklis, Associate Lecturer in Criminology, Birkbeck University
Women poets like Kiki Dimoula and Maria Laina have criticized the inscription of dominant repressive narratives on the female body.1 For instance, Dimoula's "Mark of Recognition" presents a statue of a woman. Her hands are tied behind her back, she lies uncomfortably. If we can imagine her moving towards a direction then she would be crawling away; she would be struggling for an escape. The statue is actually called Epirus and it reflects political struggles in the often described as "chained" land of Northern Epirus. The sculptor, by using the symbol of a chained woman, juxtaposes "male" and "female" definitions of bodies and subverts established, conventional roles and valuations. Similarly the poem by Dimoula imagines the life of the statue, not as that of a statue, but as the female protagonist, as a living being, as a captive, as a woman whose gender recognition is a straightforward process. The ascription of the female gender role is a straightforward process not because we can conventionally read the bodily marks: her breasts, hips and long hair. No, it is because of her captivity, according to Dimoula, that we "read" her as a woman: "I call you a woman because you always end up a captive." So the themes pre-exist and "Ruins: Chronicle of an HIV witch-hunt", the documentary by Zoe Mavroudi, zooms into the lives of a group of female modern-day "captives" and tells the story of how this group of women, these female protagonists, became the cast of a sensationalised media case.
The case is simple.2 A police operation launched, in the centre of Athens, a few days before the national elections of May 6, 2012. The operation appeared to be legitimate and relied on a combination of healthcare (public health) provisions enforced by criminal law sanctions (Health Regulation No. GY/39A), according to which intentional transmission of infectious diseases must be prosecuted, regulated and contained. As a result of this operation, while hundreds of individuals were force-tested for HIV, 32 women were found to be HIV positive. Subsequently, they were detained on a rather unsubstantiated prostitution charge and an even more unsubstantiated (felony) charge for intentional transmission of HIV to harm their clients (see, also, 284A of the Greek Penal Code). While the relevant evidence was to be reviewed by the Greek criminal justice system, the Greek media had already reached a verdict: these women constituted a threat to "us" the healthy Greek population. These women were guilty of contaminating or potentially contaminating "us". And because the Greek state and the Greek media assumed the role of a paternalistic carer, they had a duty to inform us about this threat. The names, therefore, pictures and personal details of the "criminal" women were intensely circulated within the span of several weeks and within existing discourses of danger specifically designed to instigate fear and to renew political identities.3
The recipe is also simple. To create a moral panic, the very first ingredient is to have a vulnerable, targetable population, a convenient scapegoat that can easily be exposed to processes of marginalisation and criminalisation. In this case, women that can be portrayed as a risk, a "miasma", as dangerous individuals that threaten to "pollute" the healthy sections of "our" societies. These "threats to the common good", in the case of the HIV witch-hunt described in the documentary, are fundamental for the sensationalist media and for the cultural channels to survive. The political rhetoric in this case created a particular political dilemma. On the one hand, there is the duty to protect the Greek, orthodox, heterosexual, family men from any risk of harm they may suffer. On the other hand, a group of women, portrayed as "aliens" (illegalised migrants), "prostitutes", "drug users", pose an immediate threat to the cleanliness of "our" men, an immediate threat to the Greek, Orthodox, holy institution of marriage. The dilemma follows a simple logic: is the duty of the Greek state to protect its citizens? If so, then the instrument of criminalisation needs to be used for punishing, for containing and for deporting the infected (portrayed as "infectious") women and for eliminating, quarantining and expulsing their HIV positive bodies.4
To think a bit further about the parameters of this case, let me take you back to 2003. Greece was dressing up for hosting the 2004 Olympic games, new sweep police operations were attempting to "improve the image of the city" by arresting sex workers and generally citizens that were presented by the media as "morally questionable subjects"… During one of these operations, the police raided the gay bar "Spices" and arrested 11 individuals, gay men, for illegal distribution of pornographic paedophilic content via the internet, for pimping, for possession and use of drugs, for unnatural lewdness and for indecent publications. As with the case of HIV positive women, the "captives" of the system here appeared on the press, their names, occupational status, relationship status (one of the detainees was married to a woman) and other personal information were widely circulated. The media representations all attested to the fact that the "homosexual monster" exists and it is "our" duty, as healthy citizens, to prevent the infection of the "normal" sections of the population from that homosexual "disease". Most representations constructed homosexuality as the main crime committed, even though homosexuality is not criminalised in Greece. The result of that moral panic went far beyond symbolic politics. While kept in the detention centres of Athens, one of the detainees committed suicide, hanging himself while in custody. However, even after his death, the representations were relentless. The suicide was presented as a plan for redemption and the media representations almost sighed with relief at the thought that the "repentance monster" had decided to eliminate the traces of his immoral and infectious existence.5
Are the similarities between the two cases a mere coincidence? Is the construction of "moral panics" a mere coincidence?6 Or is it indeed a political strategy? Well, I am compelled to repeat the line from the documentary where the then Minister of Health, Andreas Loverdos, is asked to answer the question: "Andreas, do we know whether the girl is a trafficking victim? Because she is a criminal now." And Mr Loverdos responds: "My dear friend, whether she is or not, she will be made into one." And he further justifies his position by explaining that his will to criminalise the potential victim of sex trafficking is relying on some "unshakeable statistics" according to which these sex trafficking victims have been brought to Greece from the Sub-Saharan Africa and they have brought the HIV virus to the healthy Greek population.7 This last statement is rather puzzling however. It is puzzling because of three main reasons. Firstly, because it implies that all victims of human trafficking are sexually exploited by Greek family men. It implies that all victims of human trafficking have been brought to Greece from the Sub-Saharan Africa. It further implies that victims should be victimised further by state procedures, since their victimisation – according to the Minister – should not immediately trigger the enactment of victims' rights entitlements. Only, parenthetically here it should be mentioned that during the year 2011, according to official statistics by the Hellenic Police, there were no victims identified from the Sub-Saharan Africa; while, in 2012 only 5 victims out of 94 came from Nigeria.8
Finally, to broaden this analysis, "Ruins" opens a wider discussion about criminalisation. In the context of sex trafficking in Greece, the victims are often treated as criminals, as traffickers, as illegalised sex workers, or as illegalised migrants; as gendered and sexualised subjects that are to be contained, to be deported, to be ostracised, to be punished. Within these conditions, the wider "sweeping" plan draws the lines of a face. The face as a surface that inscribes the traces of these immoral, infectious and precarious lives, the face of the precariousness of the other.9 This image shall not be forgotten.

- Christ Church, Clermont Ferrand's website
- The website where we publish the "weekly message" (though not always weekly…)
During the summer, the Eglise Reformée, who own the building, have their Sunday morning services there, so we have to have our service at 17h30. Not terribly convenient for people like me, who travel from some distance to get here, but there's nothing to be done. Because many of our parishioners go home to visit family, or take the opportunity to tour Europe, during this time, we took the decision to only have services every other week. It's not ideal, but it does mean that the service leader doesn't spend hours preparing a service for two people.
Yesterday I was taking the service – the one Eucharistic service in July. My sermon is on the site "Oh Taste and See", under the title "Being and Doing" If you go to read it, it would be nice if you left a comment, evenif it's just saying "Hello"!

Create your own Chatbot
Explore RPA by building your own bot
More and more companies use robotic process automation (RPA) to streamline and automate their enterprise operations. RPA can be used to automate mundane rules-based business processes. And by using technologies like AI and machine learning, it is able to achieve much more. This can be things like automatic answering emails, processing a transaction and manipulating data. RPA will enable business users to devote more time to serving customers and other high-value work.
A group of 30 students learned to use RPA. The students also applied it to a real life case. After this event there was a networking reception with the teachers of the company RoboRana. On almost every AFT there's time to talk with officials or chat with other students.
How blockchain is changing the world around us.
Digital products: From prototyping to agile software delivery
Nowadays a lot of companies try to engage in digital innovation. Within their industry they are willing to enter or define new markets by creating new digital products, using new types of business models and technologies. The hassle often is how this process should be organised, both in a cost-effective and efficient way. Nevertheless, it is also important to keep in mind that if an idea proofs to be successful, one should be capable to transform it into a mature, digital product. To achieve this, ideation, prototyping and agile software delivery should be combined. During this lecture we will illustrate how companies do this today and how it can be practically implemented.

In January 2018, Embion successfully closed a largely oversubscribed convertible note as part of the seed round of financing with the participation of Swiss private investors. The funds will be used for product development and scaling up Embion's proprietary biomass processing technology.
by svonroth
In October 2017, Embion becomes the newest member of the Climate-KIC accelerator program. Within the next 6 months Embion will be part of the largest network of start-up companies across Europe with technologies mitigating the effects of climate change.
See more in the article by startupticker.ch here (in German).
In February 2017, Embion and two laboratories of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), initiated a CHF 0,5-million project funded by the Swiss Commission for Technology and Innovation (INNO+SWISS, formerly CTI) for advancing biomass to biopolymers technology. The project will develop IP around Embion's core technology for using agricultural and other sources of waste and transforming to chemicals for production of 100% renewable biopolymer materials . Said polymers, currently entering the market with the codename PEF, have the potential to substitute PET with greener more sustainable sources of plastics with applications in food and beverage packages and biosynthetic textiles with advanced properties to petroleum derived equivalent materials.

Most people agree that 'Infinite Challenge' of MBC is one of the best entertainment programs in Korea. The characters have challenged themselves to do new things for seven years, like the program's name. It is called the best program because of each character's effort. However, there is one more reason. The reason is that it describes social issues stimulating viewers' curiosities. In addition to 'Infinite Challenge', recently we can find that many different media criticize and satirize social issues. The biggest examples would be 'I am Ggomsu', the 'High Kick' series and 'Gag Concert'.
For example, one of the sitcoms, the 'High Kick' series', shows social issues to the public, so it receives attention from them. In High Kick 3, many social issues appear indirectly such as the lost teachers' authority, welfare budget cut, and the so-called 0.88 million won generation .
In particular, an actress performed as a poor college student in a very convincing way. She had a debt of 30 million won because of taking out a student loan. Now she is finding a job. In other words, she is in the most typical twenty-something person. When you watch her, you can realize that the author wants to show the current situation in which the young people in their twenties are living while battling with unemployment problems and harsh reality, yet they would be bright and challenging.
There were always social problems, as mentioned above. Also, the press has to tell the public about social issues and the media has to criticize and observe the social issues. However, the proper functions of the press and media were paralyzed for several years. As a result, we couldn't see the people talk about social issues as satire or see programs to show social problems directly to the public. There is research proving this phenomenon. According to Freedom House, which is a conservative human rights groups, the research found that South Korea ranked 70th among 196 countries in Freedom of the Press. The ranking has continued to drop since 2008. It seems ironic that we boast that Korea is in the top 10 economic powerhouses in the world and that it is gradually joining the ranks of advanced countries in this situation. The public subsequently started to search for alternative ways to give opinions.
Owing to the popularity of 'smart devices' and the development of a diverse media, various ways for criticizing and satirizing social issues emerged. In particular, the power of SNS (Social Network Service) is great. People can get information which people with different ideas posted through SNS in real-time. For example, owing to the writing by Kim Yoh-jin (actress) on Twitter, the dispute of Hanjin Heavy Industries was widely known to the public. Though this problem could fade away, we can see this problem through SNS. Besides, recently a medium with a completely different paradigm appeared. It is the podcast. In the Seoul city mayoral by-election in last October, voters in their 20s or 30s showed high voter turnout. It is said that they were affected by 'I am Ggomsu', one of the iTunes podcasts. The hardball criticism and satire 'I am Ggomsu' aroused its audience members, who were indifferent to the politics, giving them enthusiasm. The public were dissatisfied with the way in which the government controls diverse opinions and more and more people distrust the existing press. Above all things, they fully realized that their voting could change the real situation.
People and various programs in the media have always criticized and satirized social issues after democratization, but recently they fell away. The reason is that the government reinforced censorship of the media. The already-established powers are endeavoring to control the new current. They have already tried to put censorship on the program 'Infinite Challenge' several times through the Korea Communications Standards Commission. Recently they were preparing a bill to control SNS.
However, there is nothing we can do to stop running water. If the channels to criticize are blocked up, the public will create another alternative channel, as history has shown.
<Interview with Na Mi-su, Professor in the Dept. of Mass Communication>
Recently, the programs to criticize social issues with satire and jokes have increased. What do you think of this situation?
These programs have always existed. I think their popularity depends on the point in time. Then, why now? They reflect an undesirable and unfair society in which people become increasingly dissatisfied. In this situation, the public gets vicarious satisfaction through these programs thinking that 'they complain instead of me'.
According to Freedom House, Korea ranked 70th among 196 countries in Freedom of the Press. This ranking is as low as that of African countries. How do you feel about this result?
Korea is one of the OECD Countries and an economic power. However, as far as the freedom of speech is concerned, it is a backwards country. As you can see from the appearance of new channels, the voices of the conservatives are getting louder. As a result, though the number of media outlets is increasing, they don't express diverse opinions.
Then, what is the solution to this serious problem?
All the people should have open minds and let all kinds of opinions be voiced. Through self-purification and wise judgment among the various voices, the public must form their own opinions.
0.88 million won generation came from a book title. Specifically, non-regular worker's wage is 1.19 million won. Moreover, the income of 74% of 20-somethings is 0.88 million won. Also, they are an unsafe generation to accept winner-take-all for the first time among several generations in Korea.

Handbook of Case Histories in Failure Analysis
Stress-Corrosion Cracking of a Teflon-Lined Steel Pipe in Sulfuric Acid Service
A flanged 100 mm (4 in.) diam low-carbon steel spool piece lined with Teflon was removed from a sulfuric acid denitrification system after cracks were observed in the painted coating. Visual and microstructural examination along with SEM fractography revealed scaled iron oxides on all opened crack surfaces. The surfaces had a faceted morphology, indicating intergranular fracture. Cracks originated at the interface between the tube and the Teflon liner Corrosion products were found caked into the intergranular region between the liner and the spool. The portion of the liner that had been exposed to the process stream was discolored. Failure of the spool was attributed to stress-corrosion cracking promoted by the presence of nitrates. Nitric acid contaminant in the sulfuric acid stream had diffused through the liner and accumulated in the annular space. Use of a liner that is more impermeable to the diffusion of ionic species was recommended.

Theatre Etiquette
Tonight I went to see West Side Story at the Theatre and it was fantastic, the actors were amazing, the orchestra talented and I loved the set. The only thing I didn't love was the man who sat next to me eating popcorn through the second half. Crunch, crunch, scrunch, crunch, crunch.
When you go to the cinema popcorn is expected, hell it's practically mandatory; but not at the theatre. When I was little you had an ice cream in the interval, if you were good; but you had to eat it during the interval. You never ate during the performance, it just wasn't done.
You didn't even have a drink; but now people are opening fizzy drinks bottles left, right and centre. The constant hiss of carbonation is so frustrating. I don't know if the actors can hear it; but the rest of the audience can. If you must, have a bottle of still water; but leave your fizzy pop and your scrunchy bags of sweets and popcorn at home please.

A federal court judge in New York Thursday denied a plea by failed hedge fund Amaranth Advisors LLC to bar FERC from proceeding with an enforcement action against it until a parallel complaint brought by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is resolved, although he said he believed it would be "prudent" for FERC to defer to the CFTC case. The decision left the critical issue of whether FERC has jurisdiction in futures markets unsettled.
U.S. District Judge Denny Chin for the Southern District of New York rejected Amaranth Advisors' request for a preliminary injunction to block the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission from pursuing its case against Amaranth, several affiliates and two ex-traders for alleged attempted manipulation of natural gas markets. The agency is seeking penalties and disgorgement of unjust profits totaling $291 million.
"Although I agree that it would be prudent for FERC to defer" to the CFTC's complaint against Amaranth, "I decline to order FERC to stay its administrative action," Chin said. "I am not persuaded that the FERC proceeding will 'seriously impair' this court's ability to reach and resolve the merits of the [CFTC] case before it, or that it will frustrate the administration of justice in the instant case."
As for the issue of whether FERC has jurisdiction over Amaranth's activities in the futures market, Chin said that was for an appeals court to decide. However, "I do note that Congress intended the CFTC and FERC to coordinate their efforts, at least to some degree. Amaranth's concern in having to defend itself in two separate actions for the violations of two acts based on the same underlying conduct does not justify a stay of the FERC proceeding, but the concern [by Amaranth] is understandable," he said.
Chin urged FERC and the CFTC to "coordinate their efforts in the two proceedings."
In seeking the injunction, Amaranth claimed that FERC exceeded its jurisdiction when it brought an enforcement action in July against the company for alleged manipulative activities in the natural gas futures markets. The Greenwich, CT-based hedge fund argued that only the CFTC, not FERC, has authority over the futures markets. It said that FERC's jurisdiction is limited solely to the physical gas markets. But FERC argued otherwise, saying it has jurisdiction when activities in the futures market affect prices in the physical gas market over which it has exclusive jurisdiction.
FERC in late July issued a show cause order that alleged Amaranth and its former traders, by manipulating natural gas futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex), influenced the price in the physical gas markets (see Daily GPI, July 27). The agency said that many participants in physical gas markets use the settlement price of the Nymex gas futures contract to determine the price of FERC-jurisdictional physical gas transactions. The CFTC filed its complaint against Amaranth for attempted gas market manipulation in the New York court around the same time (see Daily GPI, July 26).
Citing the court's decision, three West Coast senators Thursday sent a letter to the chairmen of FERC and the CFTC giving them 45 days to develop a coordinated plan for oversight of energy markets. The court ruling "definitively" upheld both agencies' jurisdiction to police the energy markets, wrote Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Ron Wyden (D-OR).
"A jurisdictional battle between FERC and CFTC [in the Amaranth case] is compromising both agencies' enforcement authorities. FERC and [the] CFTC have complementary roles to play with the same goal of preventing energy market manipulation," they said. The lawmakers noted that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed by the two agencies to coordinate oversight and enforcement of energy markets is "likely inadequate," and they urged the agencies to initiate discussions to broaden the scope of the MOU.

Mubadala Investment Company signed an agreement with French firms CDC international Capital and Bpifrance to develop an integrated platform to invest up to €1 billion to support the development of French enterprises as well as technology start-ups.
The agreement was signed during the official visit of France President Emmanuel Macron to the UAE. According to the announcement made on Thursday, the investment platform will comprise of two strategic components.
The first component pursues and increases the size and scope of the existing co-investment partnership known as "FEF" which was launched by CDC International Capital and Mubadala in 2014 to support the development of French enterprises with a proven growth potential.
FEF has already committed nearly 300 million euros through long-term investments in health care, education, elderly care and real estate. Building on this track record, the two partners will jointly increase the capacity of this program up to 500 million euros, the statement said.
A second component, dedicated to technology and innovation in France, will see Bpifrance and Mubadala invest up to 500 million euros in start-ups and more mature technology companies through both direct investments and venture capital funds. The program will focus on information and communication technologies, biotech, green tech and other fast-rising technology sectors.

We want to build on our successful partnership by expanding our investments in areas we believe hold long-term commercial potential for both France and the United Arab Emirates," said Waleed Al Mokarrab Al Muhairi, CEO of Mubadala's Alternative Investments and Infrastructure Platform and Mubadala's Deputy Group CEO.

More Sonic 4 Concept, Badnik Revealsby Tristan Oliver March 4, 2010
Bubbles Joins In
It won't just be Sonic 1 badniks coming back for more in the next Sonic. Today, Sega revealed on the Sonic 4 website that Bubbles will join Motobug and Newtron as classic enemies in the game.
Perhaps playing a little bit into the global economic downturn, the description of Bubbles notes multiple versions of the badnik are coming, including a new red version.
But unlike in the glory, cash filled days of Sonic 3, Sega says not all Bubbles badniks will have spikes:
Bubbles is balloon fish type robot who returns back from the ruins of the Angel Island. Due to Eggman's budget cuts, not all version of Bubbles are spiked. However, watch out for the red ones!
In addition to the rendered Bubbles, concept art was also released for the badnik, as has been par for the course in previous badnik reveals. You can see those in the gallery below. Another one will be revealed in a week's time–we'll be here to keep you up to speed.

LAS VEGAS — Don't expect a horde of product launches or other attention-grabbing, consumer-oriented news in the new year from private- and import-brand tire distributor Tireco Inc.
According to Andrew Hoit, vice president of sales and marketing of the Gardena, Calif.-based distributor of the Nankang, Milestar and Westlake brands in North America, Tireco will spend 2020 evaluating a road-hazard program on select tire lines and a 30-day ride guarantee on all lines.
That's hardly flashy for a company that has grown exponentially over the last five years, but dealers take note: Mr. Hoit said the company may implement a "full-blown associate dealer program" for the Milestar brand by midyear.
"It would be huge," Mr. Hoit said in a conversation with Tire Business at the 2019 Specialty Equipment Market Association Show (SEMA) in Las Vegas.
- This story appears in the Dec. 23 print edition of Tire Business.
In the meantime, Mr. Hoit said Tireco will focus on expanding the size range of its existing brands in a bid to enhance the 95% market coverage the company claims all three brands have.
"One might have 93, another 96, but they are all right there in the same amount of market coverage," he said. "They're a little bit different, but they all have the ability to stand alone."
The company used its appearance at the SEMA Show to highlight some of those enhancements. They include:
- Adding a dozen sizes to the Milestar Patagonia X/T extreme all-terrain line, including a 40-inch outside-diameter flotation version to go with 35- and 37-inch SKUs already in the Patagonia family of light truck and SUV tires.
Mr. Hoit said the size expansion, including the 40x13.5R17LT, will bring the Patagonia X/T product offering to 19 sizes by the first quarter, with 29 more sizes scheduled for later in the year.
• Adding a line of Nankang-brand mud-terrain tires, the NK Sport Conqueror M/T-1, to the Nankang portfolio.
The Conqueror is designed to operate in severe on- and off-road terrain, Tireco said, extending the NK Sport family into the outdoor recreational realm that's the domain of many light truck, SUV and Jeep owners.
The initial launch will feature 25 popular OE replacement and aftermarket sizes covering 15- to 20-inch rim diameters, including flotation sizes up to 35 inches tall (outside diameter). Unlike competitors' products, Mr. Hoit said, this product is available with outlined white letters.
Tireco is the exclusive distributor in North America of the Nankang brand, owned and manufactured by Taiwan's Nankang Rubber Tire Corp.
• Offering a new limited mileage warranty on all passenger and light-truck WestLake tires sold in North America, to go into effect in the first quarter.
This warranty — up to 40,000 miles within five years from date of installation — will include the RP18, SA07, SU318, SL309 and SL369 tread patterns. A pro-rated adjustment credit will be provided based on any remaining mileage.
Tireco has handled the Westlake consumer tire brand — owned and produced by China's ZC Rubber Group — in the U.S. since 2012.
Mr. Hoit said most new treads for each brand will be unveiled in 2021.
In the meantime, Tireco — headquartered in a building that once housed Nissan North America Inc. — is focused on building on its growth.
While the privately owned importer/distributor is "super private," Mr. Hoit pointed to several factors that illustrate how it has achieved its growth.
One of the most important, he said, is the brands' online presence.
Under the direction of James Yim, a brand marketing strategist for Garbage Dream and former colleague of Mr. Hoit when both worked at Sumitomo Rubber Industries Inc.'s Falken brand, the brands' websites help differentiate the products.
That helps, Mr. Hoit said, when a distributor suggests, for example, a Milestar product to a consumer who isn't familiar with the brand.
"If you look at quality of (our websites), we are on par with second- or first-tier brands, from the imagery, from the functionality, from the looks. So, if my distributor can send those links (to a consumer) to look at, it helps to sell the product.
"For a consumer who hasn't heard of us, they're going to Google us. ... We have a very strong online presence for all three brands — Milestar and Westlake will stand out first, but Nankang is really growing."
Another plus, he said, is Tireco's family ownership that dates back to the company's beginning in 1972. That lineage, he said, helps Tireco relate with family-owned wholesalers, including Capital Tire Inc. (Toledo, Ohio); Blacks Tire Service Inc. (Whiteville, N.C.); Community Wholesale Tires Distributors Inc. (St. Louis); Belle Tire (Allen Park, Mich.); and Town Fair Tire (East Haven, Conn.).
"We have ownership that is very hands on, very down to earth, genuine people that participate in the business," Mr. Hoit said. "It brings credibility to the relationship side of the business, because we do what we say we're going to do. Manufacturers who are publicly held have to report to the shareholders, and they have boards they have to answer to. Sometimes that unfortunate reality creates bad behaviors.
"We don't have that burden. We are going to stay for the long haul and be disciplined in how we go to market and how we handle our price position and our conflict."
Last, but certainly not the least, of these factors is offering a quality product at a reasonable price, Mr. Hoit said. In fact, he considers Milestar, Tireco's flagship brand, a Tier 2 product with a very broad portfolio.
He pointed to Milestar's Patagonia X/T, a tire for an emerging segment.
"If you look at our book of business, any distributer, any brand, any manufacturer, would be thrilled to have the portfolio that we have," he said. "We have the luxury of three standalone brands."
Mr. Hoit said tariffs on Chinese goods had disrupted production of Milestar's medium-truck tire, but the product line since has been relaunched. Rather than shift production to another country, Mr. Hoit said the tire still is produced in China but will have a higher price point.
"We wanted to stay relevant in that space," he said.
Mr. Hoit said Tireco's future is bright.
"We have a lot going on," he said. "It's an exciting time to be here."
