Christian Heinrich Maria Drosten (* 12. Juni 1972 in Lingen im Emsland) ist ein deutscher Virologe. Von 2007 bis 2017 war er Professor an der Universität Bonn. Seit 2017 ist er Professor, Lehrstuhlinhaber und Institutsdirektor an der Charité in Berlin. Einer seiner Forschungsschwerpunkte sind neu auftretende Viren (englisch ). Einer breiten Öffentlichkeit wurde Drosten im Zuge der COVID-19-Pandemie bekannt, unter anderem mit dem NDR-Podcast Coronavirus-Update und als wissenschaftlicher Berater der Bundes- und Landesregierungen. In der Berichterstattung zur Pandemie gehört er zu den in Deutschland am häufigsten erwähnten Wissenschaftlern.

Leben

Ausbildung und Privatleben
Drosten wurde 1972 im Bonifatius Hospital Lingen geboren und wuchs auf einem Bauernhof in Groß Hesepe im Emsland auf. Nach dem Abitur am Bischöflichen Gymnasium Marianum (Meppen) leistete er Zivildienst als Sanitäter im Rettungswesen. Ab 1992 studierte er zunächst Chemietechnik und Biologie an der Technischen Universität Dortmund und der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster. Ab 1994 studierte er Humanmedizin an der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main und absolvierte im Mai 2000 das dritte Staatsexamen. Drosten wurde 2003 in Frankfurt mit einer Dissertation zur Etablierung eines Hochdurchsatz-PCR-Testsystems für Immundefizienz-Viren und Hepatitis-B-Virus zur Blutspendertestung, angefertigt am Institut für Transfusionsmedizin und Immunhämatologie des Blutspendedienstes des Roten Kreuzes, mit summa cum laude zum Doktor der Medizin promoviert. Seit 2006 ist er Facharzt für Mikrobiologie, Virologie und Infektionsepidemiologie.

Drosten und seine Partnerin wohnen in Berlin und sind Eltern eines Kindes.

Wissenschaftliche Laufbahn
Ab Juni 2000 arbeitete Drosten als Arzt im Praktikum in der Laborgruppe des Mediziners Herbert Schmitz der Abteilung für Virologie des Bernhard-Nocht-Instituts für Tropenmedizin in Hamburg, wo er die Laborgruppe Molekulare Diagnostik leitete und ein Forschungsprogramm zur molekularen Diagnostik tropischer Viruskrankheiten etablierte. Ab 2007 leitete Drosten das Institut für Virologie am Universitätsklinikum Bonn. Seit März 2017 hat er eine W3-Professur des Berliner Instituts für Gesundheitsforschung an der Charité in Berlin inne, wo er das Institut für Virologie leitet.

Im Jahre 2003 gehörte Drosten zu den Mitentdeckern desjenigen Coronavirus, welches die SARS-Pandemie 2002/2003 verursachte und das heute als SARS-CoV bzw. als SARS-CoV-1 bezeichnet wird. Der alternative Ausdruck SARS-CoV-1 dient der besseren Unterscheidung vom später in Erscheinung getretenen SARS-CoV-2. Mit Stephan Günther gelang Drosten wenige Tage nach der Identifizierung und noch vor den Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta die Entwicklung eines diagnostischen Tests auf das neue Virus.

Seine Erkenntnisse zu SARS stellte Drosten der Wissenschaftsgemeinde über das Internet sofort zur Verfügung, noch bevor sein Beitrag im Mai 2003 im New England Journal of Medicine erschien. Dies wurde u. a. von der Zeitschrift Nature gewürdigt. Im gleichen Jahr veröffentlichte die Arbeitsgruppe um Drosten das sequenzierte Genom des SARS-Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-1) in der Zeitschrift Science und identifizierte es als Hauptursache des Schweren akuten Atemwegssyndroms (englisch Severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS).

Ab 2012 erforschte die von Drosten geleitete Forschungsgruppe unter anderem auch das Middle East respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV) und entwickelte den anschließend weltweit verwendeten Standardtest zum Nachweis dieses Erregers.

Im März 2020 erhielt Drostens Arbeitsgruppe eine Förderung von 250.000 US-Dollar von der Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation für die Entwickelung diagnostischer Verfahren im Rahmen der SARS-CoV-2 Pandemie.

Christian Drosten hatte im Dezember 2022 laut Google Scholar einen h-Index von 133 und laut der Datenbank Scopus einen solchen von 104. Acht seiner Publikationen über die SARS-Pandemie 2002/2003 und über SARS-CoV-2 wurden laut Google Scholar bisher (Stand April 2022) jeweils über 3000-mal in wissenschaftlichen Veröffentlichungen zitiert. Science zählt ihn zu den "weltweit führenden Experten im Hinblick auf Coronaviren".

Wirken

Aktivität im Rahmen der COVID-19-Pandemie
Die von Drosten geleitete Forschungsgruppe war maßgeblich an der Entwicklung des weltweit ersten Diagnostiktests für das erstmals im Dezember 2019 aufgetretene Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 beteiligt, welcher Mitte Januar 2020 frei zur Verfügung gestellt wurde. Es folgte die Publikation dieser Forschungsergebnisse, wobei das sequenzierte Genom nur aus Online-Übermittlungen bekannt war und physisch nicht vorlag.

Im Verlauf der COVID-19-Pandemie beriet Drosten Politik und Behörden und erlangte hohe Aufmerksamkeit in den Medien, so in dem seit 26. Februar 2020 gesendeten Podcast Coronavirus-Update des Norddeutschen Rundfunks. Am 17. März 2020 schrieb der Stern: "Das Coronavirus hat den Virologen Christian Drosten zum gefragtesten Mann der Republik gemacht. Und zum Star", und "[…] seit Corona grassiert, ist Drosten der Mann, der die Krise steuert, der uns durch die Krise navigiert. Der nichts beschönigt und nichts dramatisiert. Der abwägt und korrigiert, der sagt, wenn er etwas nicht weiß oder am Vortag zu kurz gedacht hat." In seinem Podcast (Nr. 32) vom 16. April 2020 erklärte Drosten, schon seit Wochen nicht mehr in die Politikberatung eingebunden zu sein. Im März 2020 betonte er, dass er nur einer von vielen Wissenschaftlern sei, welche die Bundesregierung zu Rate ziehe, die Hauptrolle komme dabei dem Robert Koch-Institut zu. Insbesondere habe er nicht über die Notwendigkeit von Maßnahmen wie einer Ausgangssperre mit der Regierung gesprochen.

Rückblickend gab Drosten in einem Interview am 13. November 2020 an, dass mit den Erkrankungsfällen in der Firma Webasto durch eine infizierte Mitarbeiterin aus China ab dem 27. Januar 2020 "die Zeit des Rätselratens", ob es bei einzelnen importierten Fällen bliebe oder eine Pandemie käme, vorbei gewesen sei: "Da war es klar, es wird eine Pandemie." Am darauffolgenden 28. Januar forderte er, dass Deutschland seine Denkweise von "wir halten das Virus aus dem Land" zu "es könnte eine Pandemie auf uns zukommen" verändern und "die Pandemiepläne rausholen" müsse.

Seit Dezember 2021 ist Drosten Mitglied des Corona-Expertenrats der Bundesregierung. Drosten wurde 2021 in den Sachverständigenausschuss nach § 5 Absatz 9 Infektionsschutzgesetz zur Evaluation der Coronamaßnahmen berufen, aus dem er Ende April 2022 auf eigenen Wunsch ausschied.

Weitere Aktivität
Drosten ist Mitunterzeichner eines Briefes von 100 Ärzten, Pflegekräften und Gesundheitsexperten, die ein stärkeres Vorgehen gegen Falschinformationen zur COVID-19-Pandemie forderten. Melanie Brinkmann, ebenfalls Mitunterzeichnerin, wird zitiert: "Wir müssen sicherstellen, dass Informationen, die noch nicht gar sind, keine massenhafte Verbreitung finden." Der Brief kam über das Kampagnennetzwerk Avaaz zu Stande.

Drosten ist Mitunterzeichner des John Snow Memorandum, das einen Schutz aller Bevölkerungsgruppen bis zur Verfügbarkeit eines Impfstoffes fordert.

Drosten setzt sich für die transparente Verbreitung von wissenschaftlichen Daten ein und publiziert deshalb in Fachzeitschriften wie Eurosurveillance, in denen alle Artikel online frei verfügbar sind.
Eine weitere Aktivität im Rahmen von Open Science war die versuchsweise Publikation einer wissenschaftlichen Studie in einem Open-peer-review-Verfahren. Die Studie erschien zunächst nur auf einem Server seiner Universität, zusammen mit der Aufforderung an die wissenschaftlichen Kollegen auch aus anderen Fächern, die frühe preprint-Studie öffentlich zu diskutieren.

Im Dezember 2021 wurde Drosten von Bündnis 90/Die Grünen im Abgeordnetenhaus von Berlin als Mitglied der 17. Bundesversammlung nominiert und nahm somit an der Wahl des Bundespräsidenten teil.

Ehrungen
 2003 wurde Drosten zusammen mit Stephan Günther für die  mit dem mit 8000 Euro dotierten Preis der Werner Otto Stiftung zur Förderung der medizinischen Forschung ausgezeichnet.
 2004 erhielt Drosten den Preis für Klinische Infektiologie des Fördervereins der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Infektiologie e.V., den Abbott Diagnostics Award der European Society for Clinical Virology, den bioMérieux Diagnostics Award der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Hygiene und Mikrobiologie und den Postdoktorandenpreis für Virologie der Robert-Koch-Stiftung.
 2005 wurde ihm das Bundesverdienstkreuz am Bande verliehen, da er mit Stephan Günther als einer der Ersten einen diagnostischen Test für das Coronavirus SARS-CoV entwickelte.
 2005 bis 2010 war er Mitglied der Jungen Akademie an der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Nationalen Akademie der Wissenschaften Leopoldina.

Öffentliche Kritik und Anfeindungen
Drosten sieht sich bei seiner öffentlichen Präsenz zunehmend Anfeindungen bis hin zu Morddrohungen ausgesetzt. Der Spiegel widmete ihm einen Titelartikel "Verehrt und verhasst".

Im Juni 2022 wurde Drosten während eines Aufenthalts mit seiner Familie auf einem Campingplatz an der Mecklenburgischen Seenplatte von mutmaßlichen Querdenkern u. a. als "Transhumanist" bezeichnet und als "Massenmörder" beschimpft.

Studie zu COVID-19-Übertragung unter Kindern
Während der COVID-19-Pandemie griff die BILD Christian Drosten scharf an: Am 25. Mai 2020 erschien das Blatt mit der Seite-1-Schlagzeile "Fragwürdige Methoden: Drosten-Studie über ansteckende Kinder grob falsch – Wie lange weiß der Star-Virologe schon davon?".
Die Kritik von Bild bezog sich auf eine Studie, die Drosten gemeinsam mit anderen Wissenschaftlern am 29. April 2020 als Preprint veröffentlicht hatte und in der gefolgert wurde, dass Kinder das Coronavirus genauso verbreiten könnten wie Erwachsene.
Dabei versuchte die Bild unter Verwendung nicht autorisierter und teilweise falsch wiedergegebener Zitate und aufmerksamkeitserzeugender Zuspitzung den Eindruck zu erwecken, dass sich Drosten als "Deutschlands Virologe No. 1" bei Covid-19 getäuscht habe. Drosten warf daraufhin dem Bild-Redakteur Filipp Piatov "tendenziöse Berichterstattung" vor und kritisierte, dass "dabei Zitatfetzen von Wissenschaftlern ohne Zusammenhang" verwendet worden seien.

Das Blatt untermauerte seine Kritik unter Zitieren von Wissenschaftlern, die meisten davon Statistiker, die sich jedoch von der Berichterstattung der Bild meist umgehend distanzierten. Mehrere dieser Wissenschaftler erwähnten dabei, von der Bild nicht persönlich befragt worden zu sein. Außerdem stellten sich einige Politiker vor Drosten.
In den folgenden Tagen verteidigte Chefredakteur Julian Reichelt die Veröffentlichung als "legitime Berichterstattung".

Laut Reichelt habe die Bild Hinweise aus Regierungskreisen und Kreisen der Ministerpräsidenten erhalten. Dort sei man unglücklich über die Entscheidung gewesen, Schulen und Kitas größtenteils geschlossen zu halten. Dies sei von der kritisierten Studie (bzw. deren Preprint) beeinflusst gewesen. Im Preprint vom 29. April 2020 stand noch: "Kinder könnten so infektiös wie Erwachsene sein" und es wird "vor einer unbegrenzten Wiedereröffnung von Schulen und Kindergärten in der gegenwärtigen Situation gewarnt".

Tatsächlich waren dann auch in der Fassung der Studie von Anfang Juni 2020 die Kernaussagen wie folgt umformuliert und die ursprüngliche Warnung in eine bloße Empfehlung abgeändert worden: "Insbesondere gibt es aus der vorliegenden Studie nur wenige Belege dafür, dass Kinder möglicherweise nicht so ansteckend sind wie Erwachsene" und es wird "Vorsicht und sorgfältige Überwachung bei der schrittweisen Aufhebung nicht-pharmazeutischer Interventionen" empfohlen. Weiterhin wurde in der Studie unmissverständlich klargestellt, dass die methodischen Beanstandungen ihrer ersten Version gerechtfertigt waren und dass daher konsequenterweise die Statistik völlig neu "aufgesetzt" werden musste.

Ende Juli 2020 kam eine in JAMA Pediatrics publizierte amerikanische Studie zu vergleichbaren Ergebnissen. Sie hatte aber mit rund 50 Teilnehmenden für jede der drei Altersgruppen nur eine geringe Teilnehmerzahl. Das Mittel der Viruskonzentration der Altersgruppe 5–17 Jahre wies zu den Erwachsenen keine großen Unterschiede auf. In den erfassten Abstrichen von unter Fünfjährigen war dagegen die Konzentration deutlich höher. Im Mai 2021 wurde eine fortgeführte begutachtete Version der Untersuchung unter dem Titel Estimating infectiousness throughout SARS-CoV-2 infection course bei der Fachzeitschrift Science veröffentlicht. In dieser wurde neben dem Alter auch auf die Viruslast in Abhängigkeit zum Symptombeginn (Maximum: ein bis drei Tage davor) und die zehnmal höhere Viruslast der ansteckenderen Variante B.1.1.7 eingegangen. September 2020 sah der Deutsche Presserat "mehrere schwere Verstöße gegen die journalistische Sorgfaltspflicht" in der Bild-Berichterstattung und sprach der Zeitung diesbezüglich eine Rüge aus.

Veröffentlichung seiner Dissertation
Im Juni 2020 wurde öffentlich behauptet, Drostens am 6. Februar 2002 eingereichte Dissertation sei nicht ordnungsgemäß veröffentlicht worden. Anlass für diese Behauptung war der Umstand, dass einige Bibliotheken die deutschsprachige Druckausgabe seiner Dissertation erst nach 18 Jahren im Jahre 2020 und erst aufgrund gestiegenen öffentlichen Interesses aufgenommen hatten.  Die Goethe-Universität erklärte hierzu, dass 2020 nur ein Originalexemplar vorhanden gewesen sei und deshalb ein Leihverkehr geprüft werden müsse. Da dem konservatorische Bedenken entgegengestanden hätten, sei Christian Drosten gebeten worden, ein weiteres Exemplar der Promotionsschrift für den Leihverkehr und die Fertigung von Papierkopien zur Verfügung zu stellen. Dem sei er umgehend und ohne Verpflichtung dazu nachgekommen. Archivierung und Vorhalten in digitaler Form sind offenbar nicht vorgesehen. Drostens Dissertation basiert auf drei im Jahr 2000 und 2001 in Fachzeitschriften veröffentlichten englischsprachigen Artikeln, wurde 2001 zur Begutachtung eingereicht und 2003 geprüft. Am 15. Oktober 2020 erläuterte die Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt am Main, dass nach mehrfacher Prüfung keine Zweifel daran bestünden, dass das Promotionsverfahren ordnungsgemäß durchgeführt wurde.

If you are a Forex trader you should consider opening an offshore company for that purpose. It is a good idea whether you trade for yourself or as a service provider for other individuals and businesses. As you know, some jurisdictions are more favorable than others for a number of reasons. In this article we will look at 5 tax havens that make a good spot for your Forex trading offshore company.
British Virgin Islands is a good choice for those who also want to provide Forex trading services to others.
The license costs around $1,000 per category as an initial fee and then $1,500 annually per category.
The process is quite complex and requires a long list of documents to be submitted.
Historically, the number of approved applications for license is very low, so we would recommend you seek professional advice before you start the process.
In the past, the Cayman Islands was considered one of the best offshore jurisdictions to open a company in, including for Forex trading. This is because of the high level of privacy it provided to its international clients.
Currently the Cayman Islands have a bad reputation, often linked to money launderers and tax dodgers.
Cayman Islands still serve as a great opportunity to save money on taxes legally.
If you open a personal Forex trading company there you should go through CIMA in order to secure your venture's reputation.
Panama is one of the jurisdictions that many tax and business advisors would avoid. Again, this is due to the bad name the country received after being involved in a number of money laundering scandals.
In the past years, Panama has updated their regulations and scrutiny procedures to recover its reputation.
To be a Forex Trader in Panama you will also require a license.
The application costs $10,000 (attorney fees plus Government fees) and the annual supervision amounts to 0.0025% of the yearly trades, which could be between $5,000 and $100,000.
You can read about getting a Panama Forex trading licence here.
Seychelles would be one of the most preferred locations to open an offshore company for personal Forex Trading.
You will need to have one if you intend to provide trading services to others.
Many of the traders who previously set up their ventures in the above 3 destinations are now looking to move to the Seychelles.
Experts believe the location will continue its growth in attracting international investors keen to set up an offshore company.
Singapore is currently at the top of the best jurisdictions to open an offshore company for Forex trading.

A Court of Frost and Starlight (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series)
by Sarah J. MaasSarah J. Maas
Paperback(Reprint)
Narrated by Feyre and Rhysand, this bridges the events in A Court of Wings and Ruin and the upcoming novels in the series.
New in the #1 New York Times bestselling Court of Thorns and Roses series, A Court of Frost and Starlight is a glimpse into the lives of Feyre and Rhysand as they begin to recover from the war that changed their world.
Feyre, Rhysand, and their close-knit circle of friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly-changed world beyond. But Winter Solstice is finally near, and with it, a hard-earned reprieve. Yet even the festive atmosphere can't keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady, she finds that those dearest to her have more wounds than she anticipated — scars that will have a far-reaching impact on the future of their Court.

"[T]his fast-paced and explosively action-packed finale will certainly grab audiences…fans will eagerly follow the conclusion to Feyre's story while looking forward to the next crop of stories from Prythian. " —Booklist on A COURT OF WINGS AND RUIN
"With introspection replacing battles, this extended epilogue gives breathing room between dramatic arcs." —Kirkus Reviews on A COURT OF FROST AND STARLIGHT
A glimpse of the characters dealing with rebuilding and fallout after A Court of Wings and Ruin (2017).In a change of pace from the usual epic struggle against powerful forces, this slimmer-than-usual volume follows the cast during the festive Winter Solstice holiday. Nods to trouble on the horizon (dissent in the Illyrian ranks, Fae courts eyeing for expansion, and a politically fraught situation among humans) remain distant, the lack of progress at times resulting in frustrating repetition. Cassian's and Mor's backstories are explored, and prickly Amren's low-key relationship storyline is supplemented by her High Fae adjustments (including bodily humor). While Elain is becoming more comfortable, she still wants nothing to do with Lucien (who feels like an outsider nearly everywhere and has his hands full with a self-destructive Tamlin). Severely struggling Nesta self-medicates through alcohol, meaningless sex, pushing everyone away, and finding every last seedy corner of the otherwise utopian Velaris. While Rhys handles politics, Feyre's storyline revolves around Solstice shopping and art's potential for healing trauma—when the lovers aren't telepathically sexting or craving each other. Aside from occasional minor characters, most of the inhuman cast seem white. Several plotlines are predictably resolved.With introspection replacing battles, this extended epilogue gives breathing room between dramatic arcs but is best for readers who'd prefer downtime with the characters over high stakes. (map, preview of next title) (Fantasy. 16-adult)
A Court of Frost and Starlight 4 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 125 reviews.
I love these characters and this series, but this installment was disappointing - more of an interlude than a story, with snapshots of the aftermath the war and its impact on the characters. But nothing really happens. It feels like a prologue to the next volume instead of a stand-alone book. I will wait eagerly for the next book in the series and will hope that it has more of a story to tell, as I am not ready to give up on these characters yet.
I was sad this book was such a let down since I had been waiting so long for it. It's a great book none the less just missing the story line. The characters just move through out the story setting up for hopefully a more action packed and concluded 5th book. I felt like no questions I had at the end of the the 3rd book were answered in this book either. Here's to praying the 5th is longer and better.
This felt like a filler stoy. Nothing was resolved and very little forward motion happened. Wished there would have been more to it.
I felt like this book filled a bit of a gap of what's yet to come in this story. I expected more, though. I am disappointed in how some of the characters are developing at a slow pace when it comes to their "love" relationships. I totally dislike Nesta and how everyone puts up with her attittude and not put her in her place. I also feel like the book could've been a bit cheaper, given that it was much shorter than the previous ones as well. This is my opinion. I still can't wait for the next one to come out!
I loved the story, but disappointed that I preordered, had hoped for more. Hopefully the next one will been a little more.
Why make us wait this long for 215 pages!!! Nothing happens in this book!!! And then the author has the nerve to make us wait for the next book!!!!! Save your money and rent it at the library in a few weeks!!!!
Returning to the world of fae is always amazing, but this is prelude.
The reading was wonderful but the book was less than half of the first books of the series. I wasn't ready for it to be over.....
It was well written, but so much was left out. Overall, I feel like the book was rushed through and was a bit disappointed on how short it was compared to the other books....but strangely more expensive. I'm happy there is more to come after this, but I still want to feel complete with Feyre and Rhys just as much as the rest of the characters. Even the sneak peak given to us seemed to skip over so much! Maybe it's just me, but I care about the little things like Feyre and her art classes as well as her want for a child with Rhys. I also want to know what's going on with Elaine and her growth, but I am not keeping my hopes up for the future. Still one of my favorite series of all time, just disappointed.
She has done it again!!! And in no more than 215 pages! I couldn't get through it fast enough and then when it was done my heart continued to pound. I can't wait to see what she dreams up next and to read the epic conclusion to throne of glass come October! Congrats Sarah on another stunning installment and to your soon to arrive bundle of joy:)
So lovely and I am more than ready for the next set of books.
This book was more of a checking in with the characters then a novel.
I LOVE this series. I counted down the days until this release. The day FINALLY arrived! I spent my $8.99 and got LESS THAN 200 pages. I loved the story line, but are you kidding? Now I have to wait AGAIN to complete a story that should have been in ONE BOOK. Shame on Ms. Maas.....but I will buy the next one too.
I was disappointed in the whole plot of this book. I loved the first book, A Court of Thorns and Roses, but everything since then has lacked the adventure I seek from fantasy series.
I literally have no words to properly describe how wwonderful this book was. I can't wait for the next one
so+captivating++and+hard+to+put+down.+wish+these+books+could+be+a+movie+or+series+on+tv.+all+the+action+and+excitement+keep+me+so+wrapped+up+in+the+story+and+characters+
I cried when I read the cliffhanger. Please don't leave me hanging by a thread. I wanna know what happens!
These books are just to hard to put down.
I just wanted to write this review because I saw that the star ratings for this was falling and I can't understand why. I have read this book now three time and each time is as good as the last. I don't know why anyone would give this book a low rating. I love this series so much and am so glad that this book was written. Sarah J. Mass has a gift and I'm so glad that she continues to share it with the world. I have bought all but one of the books that she has written and I am always amazed by her writing skills ( I plan on reading that book soon). If you are the type of person who loves romance and magic this book is for you.
Good quick read. Just a novella so kinda leaves you wanting more.
Disappointing after reading the the first three books. Like other reviewers have said, there's not much plot in this book. It's a nice glimpse into the characters "normal" lives, but otherwise this is just a bridge to future books.
Outstanding series of fantasy and family. Could not have been written any better.
I love this series, but I am disappointed it was so short. I thought for sure that 150 pages in there would be some mysterious development that left a cliffhanger for the next book. However there was an excerpt in the end that kind of told us what the next book was going to be about, so I guess for timeline purposes there couldn't necessarily be a cliffhanger at the end of this book. Either way I did enjoy it while it lasted, and still a huge fan of Sarah. Can't wait for the next!
Very entertaining peek into what's coming!!!!

The war with Hybern has ended and now the city of starlight must be rebuilt. Feyre is looking for her new purpose in this time of peace, as well as a way to create and find peace. Nesta, however, is more bitter and self-inflicted with loneliness than ever, and not even Cassian, whom she risked her life to save, can pull her out of the miserable life she's chosen. Amren is also discovering what it means to be human, and to love a male, for the first time, which often leads to hilarious questions about mortal bodies. All stories converge on the winter solstice, a time for gifts, celebration, and new beginnings, as well as Feyre's birthday. Her wish will become a new pursuit, along with a few others, as all the main characters enjoy a reprieve from war, to find out who they are and will become in the aftermath. A Court of Frost and Starlight is a cool breeze of Night Court air, and while contentions gurgle below the surface, it remains a deeper insight into a city, and a world, that dreams of peace, hope, and starlight.

Non-invasive coronary CT angiography-derived fractional flow reserve: A benchmark study comparing the diagnostic performance of four different computational methodologies

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, 2019, 35:e3235
Non-invasive coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (cFFR) is an emergent approach to determine the functional relevance of obstructive coronary lesions. Its feasibility and diagnostic performance has been reported in several studies. It is unclear if differences in sensitivity and specificity between these studies are due to study design, population, or "computational methodology." We evaluate the diagnostic performance of four different computational workflows for the prediction of cFFR using a limited data set of 10 patients, three based on reduced-order modelling and one based on a 3D rigid-wall model. The results for three of these methodologies yield similar accuracy of 6.5% to 10.5% mean absolute difference between computed and measured FFR. The main aspects of modelling which affected FFR estimation were choice of inlet and outlet boundary conditions and estimation of flow distribution in the coronary network. One of the reduced-order models showed the lowest overall deviation from the clinical FFR measurements, indicating that reduced-order models are capable of a similar level of accuracy to a 3D model. In addition, this reduced-order model did not include a lumped pressure-drop model for a stenosis, which implies that the additional effort of isolating a stenosis and inserting a pressure-drop element in the spatial mesh may not be required for FFR estimation. The present benchmark study is the first of this kind, in which we attempt to
homogenize the data required to compute FFR using mathematical models. The clinical data utilised in the cFFR workflows are made publicly available online.

For an evening of splendid ambiance, colorful flavor, and engaging presentation, plan a date at RivaBella.
RivaBella sits on the famous Sunset Strip, with vast, elevated windows lining the street for an open, airy setting. The majority of the restaurant lies under the open sky, but it would be unnoticeable to the guest because of the lush greenery surrounding the patio room and trees reaching the wooden beams above. I was remarkably excited to dine at RivaBella under new executive chef, Luigi Fineo, who has created menus in some of my favorite Italian places such as Andrea in Pelican Hill Resort.
We were seated in front of a large, brick fireplace in the patio room (perfect for the chilly breeze rolling through) and we were off to the culinary adventure we weren't prepared for. Each dish we ordered had diverse ingredients that seamlessly blended into a flavor explosion with every bite. My personal favorites were the poached lobster appetizer, the Strozzapreti pasta, and of course the porcini risotto with fresh truffles. The server's enthusiastic and educational presentation made the porcini risotto that much tastier! And that's not the only thing they do tableside - for desert, we had to call over the homemade ice cream cart we saw running around the dining room. They used a huge stand mixer, liquid nitrogen, and lots of muscle power to get us that small bowl of delicious creamy heaven (see video above and excuse my vapid "omg").
Overall, Kyle and I ended an incredibly special evening with smiles, happy bellies, and an urge to come back again. I give RivaBella a thumbs up experience worth trying!

Newborn opens new public safety building
Amber Pittman
Updated: Nov. 1, 2009, 12:01 a.m.
The town of Newborn celebrated the opening of a new public safety building with a ribbon cutting Thursday morning.
According to council member Suzie Bean the concept was a joint effort with the mayor and council and Newton County Sheriff's Deputy Doug Clifton. The purpose of the building will be a resource center that will have community awareness programs, such as neighborhood watch.
"Mayor [J.W.] Cummings has been working diligently and the sheriff has been very receptive to the idea," said Bean.
Clifton said that the center will be the center for many different things and will be used as a central location for law enforcement working in the area. For instance, if there were a car accident in the town, the parties involved could use the public safety building instead of going all the way to the NCSO. And eventually there are plans to have a computer set up to use as well.
Several members of the Newborn city council and NCSO employees, as well as Sen. John Douglas were in attendance.
"Any program the community needs will be offered by the NCSO but will be held at the public safety building," said Clifton. "The sheriff has been real adamant about getting involved in the community. This way the citizens won't have to wait."
"This is a proud moment for Newborn," said Cummings, of the safety building, which has been in the works for more than three years. The building itself had been set aside for the particular purpose of a safety building and an invitation has been extended to Morgan and Jasper counties to use the facility for their law enforcement needs, should they arise, as well.
"This is evidence of what hard work can do when we put our minds and hearts together," said NCSO Sheriff Ezell Brown, who had been working with Newborn on the building since taking office the first of the year, following in the footsteps of former Sheriff Joe Nichols, who had been working with the town on the building prior to his retirement as well.
"I have a lot of respect and pride in the community I work in," said Clifton. "This is a big benefit - not only to the town but to the county as a whole."


No, this isn't a thread debating if movie 3 exist in the tv canon or not since we already have that long running thread. Rather this is about the movie itself. I watched the whole thing from start to finish for the first time and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. In a way I prefer it to Our War Games for being so different (I definitely prefer it to Diablomon's Counterattack which was just so....bland) It's a weird movie. There's a very slow somber feel to it and I don't want to say the music was wrong. I assume the blue grass country jazz was to give it an "American" feel but it was definitely different seeing very slow jazzy music playing against action scenes. The very brief use of Brave Heart and Break Up almost feels out of place.
I also appreciate that the movie had a story it wanted to tell and didn't care about little things like details. Why/How did Chocomon disappear? Eh not important. How are these grade school children traveling from Japan to the middle of America? Eh the story needs them to go there who cares about semantics. Why are Angemon and Angewomon suddenly reaching their highest forms so casually which they've never done before? Stop nitpicking and just enjoy the movie. It's not the most tightly plotted movie but it knows what it wanted to do.
There's also a lot to talk about Wallace and Gumimon (Terriermon). Wallace's va speaks pretty good english! Except when pronouncing his own name as Warrace and pronouncing Digital World as Digitalo Worldo. The handwave that he learned Japanese from a Japanese girlfriend is whatever but it is odd he speaks Japanese to his American mother until the end of the movie. Also why is he calling Terriermon by his baby 2 name? As some point I would think Terriermon would have given him the 411. But even V-Mon calls him Gumimon. It's also interesting that Gumimon speaks exclusively in Japanese even when talking to just Wallace. This raises questions like are all Digimon's native language Japanese? Wouldn't English be its first language since it grew up with Wallace in Colorado and never lived in the digital world? Why did Wallace need a Japanese girlfriend to teach him when his partner speaks it fluently?
On a side not the fansubs I was watching weren't the greatest since it subbed Ultimate as Mega and referred to Chocomon disappearing incorrectly as 3 years ago.
Well until the whole canonicity debate came up which says that the movie really counts for nothing (something I actually agree with), I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I had my nitpicks here and there too, like Wallace saying, "Dejimental Up" instead of "Digimental Up", but overall I enjoyed it, and I think it's a great movie for the Zero Two nostalgia. As an aside, I think the reason people are having that whole Ophanimon-Holydramon debate in the other thread is because of the Zero Two nostalgia that Hurricane Touchdown provides, something that tri. utterly lacks, but whatever. That's not relevant to this thread.
Also something I really loved about this movie was the art style which was ever so subtly different from Zero Two. I dunno if other people have noticed it, but yeah, but there was a difference.
I loved seeing Galgomon here, especially in its first fight. Wendigomon was amazing, its head is very striking and I love the extending arms and its hidden torso guns that didn't quite seem to make it anywhere outside the movie. It's unfortunate that Adiramon and Cherubimon are so bland next to it.
I also noticed the different art style and I like it.
It still honestly is my favorite of the Digimon movies. I love the dense, but weird atmosphere and I really enjoyed Wallace and Terriermon as characters.
Nowadays I probably appreciate the movie most for its parallels to Algernon Blackwood's "The Wendigo," but I think it's an interesting movie all around. I really do love Wendimon in general. Interesting that neither Wendimon nor Cherubimon use their signature attacks in the movie (the ones listed on their promo cards). Wendimon uses that bullet attack instead of Destroyed Voice, and Cherubimon doesn't use any of its lightning attacks (Battle Spirit would take this route also, which makes sense since the Cherubimon in that game was Wallace's partner). The music thing was strange, but I can overlook that.
I think I know which ones you're talking about. There are better ones available for the two parts of the movie.
About the language thing, didn't one of the games explain that Digimon have no specific language, but that they automatically translate human languages into a form they can understand, and vice versa?
That's probably the best way to describe it. I'm not even sure if I would call it a "good movie" but it is very interesting movie. It feels very much not like a Digimon movie while still managing to feel like a Digimon movie at the same time. It's the most unique and stylistic Digimon film.

By the way, I'm not sure if I would consider the movie to have a different art style from the show. It's not like the other three Adventure movies where there's a notable difference. Hurricane Touchdown just had a noticeably bigger animation budget than the show, I would think. It doesn't look too different from 02's best-animated episodes (episode 21, etc.).
Well I only recently found out that the digimon movie was originally a collection of short films so I never viewed the stories different and it was connected due to it.
I like the first two films better it just seems like better story telling and there's more investment with these characters since these are the original cast. I found the first two parts to be more emotionally impactful and funny.
That's not to say I didn't find the hurricanes to be enjoyable but the vast majority of the movie is dialogue. I would of liked if we got a real short story with willis when he first got his digimon to be more invested but hurricanes was just a random filler story where not that much happened. Also the threat of cocomon wasn't that high there just wasn't really too much to be invested in but I still liked it.

Hurricane Touchdown is just kinda "ehh..." for me. Definitely not the best movie, but not the worst either.


In an earlier post I talked about latching onto activities that people already engage in, to help improve their experience or end result in those endeavors. For some, building on what people are already doing (perhaps disruptively), rather than creating new processes that you want people to come use, is a basic business tenet.
In the context of the post referenced above, on how the semantic web comes to be, the approach suggested was intended, in part, to describe a philosophy for enabling people to achieve their own ends better, more easily, more efficiently, even perhaps to an extent beyond their own expectations. The contribution to the semantic web, in that process, is the elicitation, contextualization, and leveraging of details to further a user's activity and the activities of others – and with proper storage, the enhancement of other activities.
How this is done is a bit like Aikido, the Japanese martial art – not so much in a defensive way, but as an interaction strategy. Aiki is the harmonization and leveraging of energy and movement. So if someone is intent on moving in a particular direction, helping her along in that direction is one of the easiest ways to become part of the knitting of an engagement to propel it along its way. Get to the heart of what people are after by helping them to understand what and where that is.
At this month's Usability Professionals' Association gathering in Morristown, NJ, Gavin Lew, of User Centric, talked about their iPhone studies. While the primary focus was on the effectiveness of a particular capability of the device, one of the reasons for their having done several iterations was the need to segment the user base, highlighting the value of targeting the specific objectives of individual segments.
Dr. Bill Gribbons, Director of Human Factors and Information Design programs at Bentley College, spoke last week in New York to the Society for Technical Communications. In addition to emphasizing market segmentation and simplicity in design, the key differentiator to "win" in business is the user experience. Becoming more and more important in this experience differentiation will be embedded support – or what he refers to as "cognitive scaffolding". In short, this is the elicitation and contextualization I've referred to as enabling users to achieve their objectives.
Frank Gens, in his presentation yesterday on IDC's predictions for 2008, talked about where their research shows enterprises focusing over the next year. The same key point emerged here – that energy is being directed towards companies getting closer to the end customer to engage them in what they're doing, via small business, social platform as business environment (for facebookers coming into business age), or gadgets – in some cases to gaining some control of mobile markets (e.g. Apple, for example, took hold of wireless customer sign-up for the iPhone, as is the case with the Amazon Kindle).
In all of these examples, it is the user base that is driving the future. Opportunities will be found in identifying networks of interaction, where there are satisfaction deficiencies, or where hiding some technology can get users past legacy system limitations they've come to live with.
