Take a look to the first official poster of Son of a Gun, the upcoming action drama movie written and directed by Australiam Filmmaker Julius Avery and starring Brenton Thwaites and Ewan McGregor:
(Click on the poster to enlarge.)
"Locked up for a minor crime, 19 year old JR (Brenton Thwaites) quickly learns the harsh realities of prison life. Protection, if you can get it, is paramount. JR soon finds himself under the watchful eye of Australia's most notorious criminal, Brendan Lynch (Ewan McGregor). But protection comes at a price. Lynch and his crew have plans for their young protegee. Upon release, JR must help secure Lynch's freedom, staging a daring prison break. As a reward, he's invited to join the crew as they plan a gold heist that promises to deliver millions. However, as things start to go wrong, a deadly game of cat and mouse ensues. JR finds himself unsure of whom he can trust and on a collision course with his former mentor."
Prison is a lot like high school, but much worse!
We also have a few pictures from the film:

From filmmaker Steven Spielberg comes the science fiction action adventure "Ready Player One," based on Ernest Cline's bestseller of the same name, which has become a worldwide phenomenon. The film is set in 2045, with the world on the brink of chaos and collapse. But the people have found salvation in the OASIS, an expansive virtual reality universe created by the brilliant and eccentric James Halliday (Mark Rylance). When Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune to the first person to find a digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that grips the entire world. When an unlikely young hero named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) decides to join the contest, he is hurled into a breakneck, reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery, discovery and danger. Spielberg directed the film from a screenplay by Zak Penn and Ernest Cline. The film was produced by Donald De Line, Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger and Dan Farah; with Adam Somner, Daniel Lupi, Chris DeFaria and Bruce Berman serving as executive producers. "Ready Player One" stars Tye Sheridan ("X-Men: Apocalypse," "Mud"), Olivia Cooke ("Me and Earl and the Dying Girl," "Bates Motel"), Ben Mendelsohn ("Rogue One – A Star Wars Story," "Bloodline") and T.J. Miller ("Deadpool," "Silicon Valley"), with Simon Pegg (the "Star Trek" movies, the "Mission: Impossible" movies) and Oscar winner Mark Rylance ("Bridge of Spies," upcoming "Dunkirk"). Behind the scenes, three-time Oscar winner Spielberg ("Schindler's List," "Saving Private Ryan") reunited his creative team from "Bridge of Spies," including Oscar-winning director of photography Janusz Kaminski ("Schindler's List," "Saving Private Ryan"), Oscar-winning production designer Adam Stockhausen ("The Grand Budapest Hotel"), Oscar-winning editor Michael Kahn ("Saving Private Ryan," "Raiders of the Lost Ark") and Sarah Broshar ("The Post"), and costume designer Kasia Walicka-Maimone ("Moonrise Kingdom"). The music is by Oscar-nominated composer Alan Silvestri (the "Back to the Future" films, "Forrest Gump"). Warner Bros. Pictures and Amblin Entertainment present, in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, and Amblin Production, a De Line Pictures Production, a Steven Spielberg Film, "Ready Player One." Slated for release on March 30, 2018, the film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures.
Initial release: March 28, 2018 (Indonesia)

Krizan Vekic has taken up the position of Justice Education Co-ordinator for the Jesuit Education Desk. This new role, supported by Jesuit Missions, evolved from the Development Education programme which was coordinated by Brid Dunne.
Justice Education encompasses four key areas of Justice: Development Education, Environmental Justice, Migrants and Refugees, and Social Inequality. Impassioned by the call 'to serve', the programme seeks to support those within schools as they embed justice across all areas of Jesuit school life; school programmes (curricular and co-curricular), teacher formation, school policy and school structure.
The Justice Education programme has adopted the expression 'the courage to do much' which originates from a letter Francis Xavier's wrote to Ignatius Loyola from India. In the letter, Francis spoke passionately about China, India, and Japan, and asked Ignatius for the support of 'persons with the courage to do much and in many places'.
Some 460 years later, Pope Francis seeks the same courage in the struggle to create a more just world. Justice Education seeks to inspire a 'faith that does Justice', and thus, brings to the fore Arrupe's avowal that we cannot 'separate action for justice' from the 'proclamation of the Word of God'.
Originally from Melbourne, Australia, now living in Dublin, Krizan is of Croatian heritage. Since graduating with an Education degree from the University of Melbourne in the mid-1990's, he has worked in education at second and third level, in both a teaching and a research capacity. He has a Masters in Equality Studies from University College Dublin and a PhD from Mater Dei Institute of Education.
Krizan has spent the last ten years in Dublin teaching History and Geography. He has a great passion for justice and this is reflected in much of his work to date. He says that he has been fortunate to have worked with so many who share this passion and he hopes that his work as Justice Education co-ordinator will add to the already great work being done across Jesuit schools in Ireland.
Krizan is based at the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice in Dublin. He can be contacted by telephone 01-8556814 or email justiceeducation@jesuit.ie.

Captain Hans Bjønnes appeared and declared ...
The "Tudor" departed from Melbourne on the 15th March last with a cargo consisting of general goods bound for Marseilles, Lisbon and Liverpool. On sailing from Melbourne the said ship was in every respect in a wholly seaworthy manner. He produced the scrap log-book of the ship and an extract of the same concerning the material events relating to the loss of the ship and her cargo and also to the importunate loss of the 2nd Engineer of the said ship. ... He also produced a list of the survivors of the of the crew, ... The master referred to the contents of the extract of the logbook and furthermore declared that they left Gibraltar on the 13th June in convoy at 5.30 p.m. (B.S.T.) and so proceeded with British warships accompanying the convoy. That on the 19th day of June he was on the Bridge of the said ship when at 2.45 a.m. she was struck (when i latitude 45 gr 10 minutes Nort and longitude 11 gr 50 west) by a torpedo on the port side in the way of No 1 and No 2 hatches, a terrific explosion took place at once and the ship began to go down by the head that he at once gave orders for all the lifeboats to be manned and four lifeboats were put on the water and manned. That he went down from the Bridge to the amidshipsdeck and by then two lifeboats had left. A few minutes later the third lifeboat had left and he remained on deck until he saw that everyone of the crew was off the ship and then got into the last lifeboat. At that time the said vessel was so much down by the head that her stern was lifted and the propeller was out of the water. That just before the ship was struck by a torpedo he noticed in the moonlight a dark shape on the water less than a mile away on the port quarter. He thought it was a submarine and sent out a danger signal and altered the course of the said ship, directed the engines to be put at full speed, but at the same time a torpedo was seen glinding like silver stripe towards the ship. That nothing could have been done to avoid the torpedo. That they remained standing by the ship until 7 a.m. when suddenly he noticed that the ship started to go down very quickly. In about 30 seconds later she disappeared. That they then set sail and proceeded on a course to try to reach Spain which was about 180 miles in a South Easterly direction, from their position. That about 11 a.m. they sighted two British warships which proceeded towards them and he and 14 members of crew were taken onboard H.M.S. "Arabis" and landed at Plymouth on *Friday the 21th June at 4.00 p.m.
That he desired to place on record sincere appreciation of the manner in which they were all treated by the officers and crew of the H.M.S. "Arabis" while they were onboard that ship.
... the First Witness, second Officer Odd Lea who deposed that he had kept the rough logbook and had written the entries in that logbook from which the extract produced was made. He further declared that he was on duty on the Bridge when at 2.43 a.m. on the 19th June he sighted a submarine showing just a part of its top above the water in the moonlight. Order were given to go full speed ahead and signals were given of the presence of the U.boat. The wheel was put hard to starboard, just a moment afterwards he saw a torpedo coming rapidly through the water. It struck the ship betewwen No 1 and No 2 hatches on the port side. It exploded and caused such damage that the said ship to sink as her foreport filled with water. That he went to the Chart Room and picked up the rough logbook and then went to a boat on the starboard side into which several members of the crew went. That he waited for sometime and at last the captain came along and got into the boat. That they then left the ship, that as they came aft they noticed one of the ship's boat caught in the propeller of the ship. It was out of the water owing to the ship being down by the head. In the boat they found Nils Pettersen, the third officer, he had been injured, and only half conscious. That they took him into their and then stood by until 7 a.m. when the ship's stern rose further out of the water, and she then sank. That ultimately they were picked up by H.M.S. "Arabis" and landed at Plymouth.
The second witness the Engineer Edward Christopher Gasmann appeared and deposed that on the 19th June at 2.44 a.m. he was on duty in the Engine Room of the "Tudor" when he received by the telegraph an order to put the said ship at full spead ahead, that was done. Before that the said vessel had been going at slow and half speed. Thh at about a minute later he felt something strike the ship and immediately he heard an explosition.That he at once stopped the eninges, ordered two members of the crew who were in the Engine Room to go up. They did so and he followed them. That when he came on deck it was dark. All the electric lights in the ship below were alight. There were no ligths on deck, but he noticed that the bow of the ship was going down. That he went to get into No 2 lifeboat but found that it was not on the water, as the block was caught. That he jumped into the sea and was picked up by those in No 4 boat. That he subsequently saw No 2 boat on the water with three men in it. Later two of the men in No 4 boat went into No 2 boat, that they found several members of the crew in the sea, and picked them up until they had 20 men in it. Some of the men were transferred to No 2 boat. That all the boats stood by until the said ship went down at about 7 a.m. That they then set a course for the land and after sailing for sometime they sighted two British warships. That at 11.44 a.m. they were picked up hy H.M.S. "Calendula" and ultimately were landed at Plymouth on Saturday the 22nd June. That the officers and crew of H.M.S. "Calendula" looked after the survivors of the "Tudor" very well and he desired to record grateful thanks for the treatment they received.
The Third Witness O. M. Tallaksen the Carpenter appeared and deposed that about 2.45 a.m. on the 19th June he was standing on the poop of the "Tudor" when he saw a torpedo coming towards the ship. It struck the ship on the port side and caused gtreat damage when it exploded. That he went first to No 4 lifeboat, but no one was in it so he crossed over to the starboard side and got into No 3 lifeboat. That he remember that the Third Officer Nils Pettersen and the 2nd Engineer were in that boat. When it left the ship's side the boat was carried towards the ship's stern and lifted by the sea against the propeller, which smashed the lifeboat. That Engineer Hansen was in the stern of the lifeboat when it struck the propeller. That he and other in the boat jumped into the sea, he never saw Hansen again. He though he was killed by striking the propeller and being thrown into the sea. That the other members of that boat dived into the sea were picked up by No 2 and No 4 lifeboat. That he himselves was not picked up until he had been in the water for over half an hour, and he was then picked up by No 2 lifeboat. That the ship sank about four hours later. That they were ultimately picked up by H.M.S. "Calendula" and brought to Plymouth where they were landed on the 22nd June.
The Fourth Witness Wangberg appeared and deposed that he was at the wheel of the m/s "Tudor" on the 19th June when she was struck by a torpedo, that he did not see either the submarine or the torpedo. That shortly before the torpedo struck the ship he received an order from the captein to put the helm hard starboard. That he put the helm over accordingly, and the said ship had just gone over a little when a great explosition occurred and her bau went down immediately causing the stern to lift som much that the propeller was in the air.

Malignant: James Wan's American Giallo
The trailers for Malignant, the latest horror film from director James Wan, did not terribly impress me if we're being honest. Wan is an extremely skilled director, and he can reliably turn out a quality bit of genre, but nothing seemed terribly out of the ordinary. Let me tell you that the trailers do not — nay, cannot — prepare you for the utterly bonkers, exhilarating carnival ride Wan has in store. And I mean that in the best way possible.
Madison (Annabelle Wallis) is not in a good way. She's having waking visions of horrible murders, often seeing things through the murderer's eyes. It turns out these aren't dreams but very real events, and Madison's life and sanity are in very real danger.
That's all I can say about the plot of the film without giving away spoilers, and trust me that you don't want spoilers when it comes to Malignant. There are plot twists aplenty, ranging from the obvious to the outrageous, and part of the joy of Wan's film is not knowing what to expect. There is a fairly wide gulf between critical and audience approval of the film online, largely based on what audiences expected walking into the film and what they ended up getting.
We're not talking about a film that fundamentally couldn't be traditionally sold like mother! or an A24 film that places all the horror in the trailer. Malignant is something else entirely. Wan has not created another Conjuring-style, deadly-serious horror. What he's made instead is probably one of the most (if not the most) successful attempt at an American giallo film.
Lady in red.
Giallo is a horror subgenre most associated with Italian cinema. Think Dario Argento, Mario Bava, or Ruggero Deodato. Over-the-top, visually sumptuous, narratively chaotic, with a strong emphasis on style, mystery, and imaginative gore scenes. Take your horror film, but make it European arthouse camp without sacrificing your dedication to cinematic technique or the fundamentals of the genre.
Every building block for a classic horror film is in place here, sometimes a bit too obviously so. Wan willfully indulges in any number of horror film cliches but with very clear intent. Sometimes these even bleed into the metatextual, with characters seemingly aware that they're acting through tropes. In a scene with Madison's sister exploring a dark building alone, you can tell in her face that she knows she's doing something supremely stupid for no reason. Even the film's poster is intentionally constructed of classic horror elements, down to the vintage VHS cover-ready font.
But Wan doesn't dive into parody here. This isn't a farce. Wan's devotion to his film shows through time and again. He's not stingy with his style here, often going out of his way to provide a strong visual twist to his scenes. That might be some effective work in color and lighting or a novel angle to film an action scene with. Sometimes it's as simple as executing an expected design element with remarkable grace and fashion. The killer might look like a typical giallo villain with its trenchcoat and gloves, but whenever it's on-screen, you can't take your eyes off of it. The fact that it's played by a professional dancer/contortionist might have something major to do with that.
There's a light at the end of the redrum.
The film is a feast for both the eyes and the ears. Wan's technique is above reproach, and the interiors look gorgeous without being ostentatious. There is an element of clear, deliberate staging involved with many of the sets that gives the film a pleasantly artificial vibe. Wan isn't going for realism here but for style; he doesn't want you to forget you're watching a work of fiction that's almost literally a universe onto itself. That's echoed in Joseph Bishara's haunting score, which uses both synthesizers and orchestral instruments that may or may not be synths themselves to create music that remixes all the tools and tropes of horror soundtracks into something unique and captivating.
The human element of the film should definitely not be overlooked, though. In fact, none of the setting Wan has meticulously detailed would work without the right performances keyed into that same camp/serious vibe. Annabelle Wallis is just about perfect in that regard. She's highly sympathetic, and she excels at conveying the right level and coloration of emotion needed. Especially in the second half of the film, she veers into the melodramatic in a very welcome way, helping to harmonize the tension of the film with her performance.
You're just too good to be true…can't take my eyes off of you…
The supporting cast seems to be custom-made for any number of character actors to deliver solid, engaging performances. Besides Maddie Hudson as Madison's sister Sydney, there's George Young and Michole Briana White as the detectives investigating the murders Madison has visions of. Each of them plays a kind of stock character; White especially leans hard into her role as the sarcastic, suspicious "bad cop" in contrast to Young's more knightly "good cop." However, none of them ever feel like they aren't bringing their best to the role, making each character both likable and intriguing, often beyond what's written in the script. You look forward to seeing them on screen and become invested in their survival.
As fun and well-constructed as the film is, it does start to fall apart a little during the climax. Wan doesn't offer scares as much as he does a tension that slowly increases until it's nearly tangible. In the same way, the film becomes more and more outrageous in tandem, and some of the events in the third act might stretch some viewers' suspension of disbelief until it snaps. Giallo horror has never truly prioritized realism or logic in its narratives, and that's fully in effect here. You'll either go along with all the wholly intentional ridiculousness or get turned off by it with almost no reaction in-between.
And this is where we circle back to the idea of expectations. If you have them, drop them. I can't stress this enough. I've been watching horror films for decades, and while I did manage to figure out some of the threads in the story, there were multiple events I absolutely was not ready for that gave my heart a strong, welcome jolt. One thing Malignant is not is predictable, and thank the cinematic gods for that. Wan has created a gripping, entertaining, piece of pure giallo camp and proven once again that he deserves to be in the canon of master horror filmmakers.

Harford Sheriff: Security cameras indicate young girl was directed to steal packages in Bel Air
By Erika Butler
Screen shot of a video posted by the Harford Sheriff's Office. Officials say they believe the video indicates a young girl was being used in the theft of packages.
Harford County Sheriff's Office has released security camera video showing a young girl removing packages from a porch in Bel Air — and officials say they believe the youngster was being directed by others to steal the items.
"It's obvious there is an adult behind the scenes controlling that child's actions, introducing that child to a criminal lifestyle, and it's so disappointing," Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said.
"It's heart-breaking enough to know that people to turn to a life of crime, but when you see them raising their children into a life of crime, there are some serious issues with our society," he said.
This time of year you have to be wary of where you have packages delivered. Recently a Grinch directed a young child to steal a package off a porch in Bel Air! There are no words. pic.twitter.com/msba9dH9Zm
— Harford Sheriff (@Harford_Sheriff) December 7, 2018
The Sheriff's Office said the video was taken Nov. 30 by a security camera at a house in the 400 block of Inez Court in Bel Air and reported Sunday.
On its Facebook page, the sheriff's office states: "Watch as this young girl, no older than 8, runs into a yard, looks back to get directions, then steals a package from a porch! Who uses a child in this manner?! … [I]t's hard to believe that a Grinch decided to use Cindy Lou Who this year to steal packages!"
Anyone who may have information about Sunday's incident is asked to call Deputy Matthew Turner, 310-616-1717.
The Sheriff's Office is reminding people to be aware of their surroundings, look for suspicious activity in their neighborhoods and have packages delivered to safe and secure places, when possible. And if they see something suspicious, report it to law enforcement.
In another case, the Sheriff's Office arrested a Baltimore woman this week after the alleged theft of a package off a porch in Joppa.
Officials said that on his way to the 300 block of Roxbury Court for a theft of a package Tuesday, a deputy saw a car matching a suspect's vehicle and attempted to pull it over.
Baltimore among top 10 worst cities for Amazon package theft
A new analysis shows Baltimore in the top 10 cities in the country for Amazon package theft.
Roslyn Amina Nieves, 27, of Baltimore, was apprehended and charged with theft and other offenses, including traffic citations, the sheriff's office said.
After the arrest, the numerous packages intended for houses in the Joppa area were recovered, officials said.
No contact information for Nieves was available, and no attorney for her is listed in online records.

After obtaining the first result, you will have to click on the 'older posts' tab to access all the posts in this section.

(1) A car travels from station A and to station B separated by a distance of d km. The average speeds of the car while covering the first and second halves of the distance are v1 and v2 respectively. What is the average speed of the car for the entire trip from station A to station B?
The times taken for covering the first and second halves of the trip are d/2v1 and d/2v2 respectively.
An object moving with varying speed has acceleration. But this does not mean that all accelerated objects must move with a varying speed. For instance, an object in uniform circular motion has constant speed, even though it has a centripetal acceleration. Its direction of motion changes continuously and it is the change in direction that makes it an accelerated object.
For an object to be in accelerated motion, it is enough that its speed or direction of motion changes. Therefore, the correct option is (e).
(3) A bullet is fired from a gun in a direction inclined at angle θ with respect to the horizontal ground. Which one among the following graphs represents the plot of the vertical velocity v of the bullet against time t between the instant of firing and the instant just before the bullet hits the ground? (Take the upward direction as positive).
At the instant of firing, the bullet has the highest vertical velocity. When the bullet rises up, its vertical velocity goes on decreasing linearly (because of gravity) and at the highest point of its trajectory the vertical velocity becomes zero. The bullet then starts falling down with linearly increasing speed. In other words, the vertical velocity of the bullet becomes negative and its magnitude goes on increasing until it hits the ground.
The vertical velocity of the bullet as a function of time is therefore correctly represented by graph (b).
(4) The adjoining figure shows forces F1 and F2 with their lines of action in the XY plane and acting on a particle.P.
and F2 = a2 î + b2 ĵ where î and ĵ are unit vectors in the x-direction and y-direction respectively, which one among the following statements is correct?
(a) a1, b1, a2, and b2 are positive.
(b) a1 and b1 are negative where as a2 and b2 are positive.
(c) a1 is negative where as b1, a2, and b2 are positive.
(d) a1, b1 and a2 are positive where as b2 is positive.
(e) a1, b1, a2, and b2 are negative.
Imagine the rectangular components of F1 and F2. You can easily see that the x-component of F1 is along the negative x-direction while the y-component is along the positive y-direction. The x-component of F2 is along the positive x-direction while the y-component is along the positive y-direction.
This means that a1 is negative where as b1, a2, and b2 are positive [Option (c)].
(5) A small object at the foot of a smooth inclined plane AB (Fig.) is projected up along the inclined plane with an initial speed v. The object returns before reaching the top of the inclined plane and after reaching the foot of the plane, it moves further along a smooth horizontal surface AC. Which one among the following graphs represents the variation of the speed v of the object against time t?
of the object therefore gets decreased uniformly and becomes zero when the object reaches its highest position on the incline. Then the object retraces its path with uniformly increasing speed until it reaches the foot of the incline. Then it moves along the horizontal surface AC with uniform speed.
The above facts are correctly represented by the graph (d).

Q: How do I pair adjacent cells with one another in Excel? I am attempting to create an efficient way to log our customer orders. So far what I've done is have the customer names in the 1st column. Contact details in the 2nd. Then in the sequential columns I have created drop down boxes to select the appropriate product and in the following column is the quantity.
Because of how customers order, the same products may not necessarily be in the same column Meaning it may read something like this...
Name. Number. Product1. Qty Product2. Qty. Product3. Qty
Name. Number. Product 3. Qty. Product 1. Qty. Product 2. Qty.
Name Number.. Product 3. Qty.
Name. Number. Product 2. Qty. Product 3. Qty.
So what I want to do is create a totals list for each product by pairing it with the relevant qty. But I'm struggling to find an appropriate method. So far I have found the means to count how many time each product is ordered, but not able to match that with the qty.
So if someone can help me do so I would much appreciate it.
p.s. I am using Excel 2007

A: It won't be a short formula as you need to specify each of the columns that need to be summed, but the best function would be SUMIF which uses this syntax:
SUMIF(range, criteria, [sum_range])

Applied to your data you would need to also use SUM to total the totals of each column, for example if your data looked like this:
 | A     | B      |  C        | D   |  E        | F   |  G        | H
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1| Name  | Number |  1        | Qty |  2        | Qty |  3        | Qty
2| Test1 | 123    |  Product1 | 4   |  Product2 | 5   |  Product3 | 2
3| Test2 | 456    |  Product3 | 2   |  Product1 | 1   |  Product2 | 5
4| Test3 | 789    |  Product3 | 3   |           |     |           |
5| Test4 | 112    |  Product2 | 2   |  Product3 | 1   |           |

You could use the following formula to total all the Products named "Product1":
=SUM(SUMIF(C2:C5,"Product1",D2:D5),SUMIF(E2:E5,"Product1",F2:F5),SUMIF(G2:G5,"Product1",H2:H5))

Which would equate to 5 using the example data.

Nord Stream 2 Is A Game Changer For Gazprom
By Viktor Katona - Jan 21, 2018, 2:00 PM CST
It's difficult to imagine an energy company that's more hated and more closely monitored than Gazprom…
Perhaps in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon spill, BP attained similar levels of public oversight.
Nevertheless, defying most trends, 2017 will go down in history as one of Gazprom's successful years: for the first time in history, its share in Europe's gas consumption reportedly reached 40 percent.
Despite seemingly crippling U.S. sanctions specifically targeting Gazprom's European endeavors and the EU's hastily engineered gas rules, the construction of Nord Stream 2 has been going forward as planned, moreover, the project's European partners (Shell, Engie, OMV, Uniper, Wintershall) wholly fulfilled their financial obligations.
Gazprom increased gas sales to almost all its buyers in Europe. Germany's intake reached a historic maximum of 53.4 BCm (Nord Stream-I utilization rate was equally at an unseen high of 93 percent). Turkey took in 29 BCm (18 percent growth). France totaled 12.3 BCm (7 percent growth). A combination of cold weather, low price and shrinking domestic gas output in Europe led Gazprom to a spectacular increase in production, too — its year-on-year growth amounted to 52 BCm/year.
Related: Azerbaijan: A Crucial Energy Hub
Despite regularly occurring fakes that Gazprom is running short of gas, the gas giant is still keeping idle at 100-120 BCm/year of surplus production, mostly on the Yamal peninsula. So technically it can increase its supplies even further, but the real question is whether there will be sufficient demand to meet it.
Further dramatic Europe-bound increases are unlikely until Nord Stream 2 gets onstream. The next few winters might not be as cold as previous ones; oil-pegged gas prices start to appreciate and demand is constrained by existing supply routes. Still, once a pipe dream, now Nord Stream 2 increasingly stands out as Gazprom's future claim on further European consolidation. The European Commission antitrust enquiry is effectively retracted from the DG Comp's agenda after Gazprom agreed not to object to cross-border sales of resold Russian gas and make destination clauses flexible.
The EU legal service's legal opinion on the applicability of the Third Gas Package to an offshore pipeline Nord Stream 2 (it found it was not) all but buried any future European Commission aspirations to block the project. The European Council chief, Donald Tusk, keeps on urging member states to adopt new EU gas rules which would specifically target maritime gas pipelines feeding the EU, however, Germany and France seem highly reluctant to go along with it. If the required legislation is not passed unilaterally before Nord Stream 2 is built (and its construction is already well underway and expected to be finished in 2019), Germany could treat the gas pipeline as a domestic matter, similarly to Nord Stream 1, and act without the EU's supervision.
Apart from a very few of staunch Gazprom opponents in the European Union, like Poland or Lithuania, most countries might ease their antagonism vis-à-vis Gazprom as the Ukraine-Russia gas conflict slowly disentangles (displays of solidarity are a must on European level). The Stockholm Arbitration Court's recent ruling, with both sides claiming victory, stipulates that Ukraine maintains a contractual take-or-pay obligation to buy at least 4 BCm/year and Gazprom ought to supply at least 5 BCm/year.
Despite a history of belligerent rhetoric throughout 2017 when Ukraine received no Russian gas from Gazprom (only reversed Russian gas resold from EU countries), the national company Naftogaz indicated willingness to start buying as soon as Q1 2018. This might be a bit too optimistic, considering the Stockholm Court is to deliver an opinion on another issue, the Gazprom-Naftogaz transit contract, however currently almost no one doubts this will happen after the court dealings are over. The underlying motive is quite simple: On average, Ukraine has been paying a premium of 25-30 dollars per MCm to European traders for remarketed Russian gas, roughly a $35-40 million loss every month.
While the fate of Gazprom in Europe lies mostly in German hands, the company's eastward progress has been dramatic — often so swift that it was difficult to follow. Not only is the construction of the 38 BCm/year Power of Siberia-1 going according to schedule, the sides have already agreed on the day exports will begin: December 20, 2019. The Western route of China-bound supplies, the so-called 30 BCm/year Altay pipeline (also known as Power of Siberia 2) is still lingering around and further details about its future should be expected in Q2 2018 after the dust whipped up by the presidential elections has settled. While Power of Siberia-1 will be mostly sourced from Eastern Siberian fields in Sakha/Yakutia and Irkutsk Oblast, the proposed Power of Siberia-2 will be fed from the Yamal Peninsula up north. Related: $70 Oil Cripples European Refiners
Most recently, another potential Russo-Chinese gas project has popped up, namely the Sakhalin-Vladivostok-China pipeline with an estimated delivery volume of 8 BCm/year. Gazprom and the Chinese national company CNPC have signed an initial agreement on the issue (which doesn't mean anything because the crucial issue, as always, will boil down to pricing formulae), but doubts remain whether Gazprom will be able to provide the required gas volumes. The problem is 10 years ago the Sakhalin-I consortium — the only one so far capable of providing the gas (roughly equivalent of the Chayvo field's peak output) — tried to build a gas pipeline following a similar route; however, Gazprom vetoed it on the grounds that its exclusive monopoly on gas exports disallows other producers to sell their gas abroad.
So to sell additional volumes of gas to China, Gazprom would need the consent of the ExxonMobil-led consortium, which might not be as enthusiastic about the gas giant's prospects as they would like to think (just think of Rosneft, whose gas output is widely expected to reach 100 BCm/year by 2020 and is desperate to break Gazprom's export monopoly).
The Ministry of Energy is pressurizing the Sakhalin-I consortium to find a consensual agreement with Gazprom, steering clear of any legislative changes, yet it will be a long and tough negotiations process. But with the gas export monopoly confirmed by authorities to remain fully in the hands of Gazprom, thinking big is not an eventuality but a must.

An excellent and thorough article on a subject rarely reported in the western press.
Steven Conn on January 21 2018 said:
Turkish Stream will see two lines pumping 32 bcm a year soon as well. Another gain for Gazprom while the regime sitting in Kiev bites its elbows.
Viktor Katona on January 22 2018 said:
@Steven Conn, you are absolutely right, I did not even mention that, even though TurkStream is much less endangered politically than NordStream 2. Despite numerous foreign policy spats with regard to developments in Syria, Ankara and Moscow have safeguarded the project to avoid any spillover collateral damage. Ankara's motivation is clear - a 10.25% price discount is just too good to be thrown overboard.
The fate of the second TurkStream line lacks in political buttress, however Gazprom seems to be at ease about selling the gas at the Turkish-Greek border, to be redistributed further along newly-built feeder lines.

I agree with Bob, one of the best articles on Gazprom I've seen at Oilprice. Keep them coming.

One cannot turn the pages of the Bible without finding example after example of God's provision for His people in the midst of impossible circumstances.
In all of these examples, we see that God is not interested in the resources that we have. He wants us to rely on His resources.
In the devotional book, Faith's Checkbook, Charles Haddon Spurgeon often speaks of our tendency to rely on a "secondary source". What he means is that we are always taking inventory of our own abilities and reserves. So that we can fall back on them.
Or that we are looking for that special "possibility" of a job, a contact, a lead, a way we can go or an expectation that we can hope in. This is so normal for us as human beings to do.
But God wants us to be aware that He doesn't need these things. He can bring water out of nowhere. He can make a blind man to see. He can raise the dead.
There is no method or process we could ever calculate or rely on for such a miracle to occur. God is not bound by the natural processes to supply our needs. We live in a supernatural realm now. It is not about what is seen; but about what is unseen.
Hannah Whitall Smith, in her book, The God of All Comfort, discusses how we are so afraid of being left with "nothing but God". We are terrified that our circumstances can become so dire that we may have no one we can rely on but God. Anything but that!
And yet, she states, how we would then be in the best of all possible situations.
Paul says that "we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh." (Philippians 3:3). This flies directly in the face of all that we are taught about life. The world is totally occupied with self-image, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-discipline, self-dependence and self-control.
And this doesn't come easily; even for a Christian. We must be brought by the Lord's own hand, experience by experience, point by point to a place of utter dependence upon Him. And that is not a fun place to be. Romanticism does not thrive in that environment.
Despite all appearances, there is a great liberation here. I have often come kicking and screaming to this point. Sorry to say. But there is a peace and rest here that cannot be explained. Where I can stop worrying about all the stuff that I had to keep under control. Where I can rest and be at peace in the midst of a firestorm around me.
I often think of the Byronic literary hero, standing on the high and lonely precipice, looking outward to face the elements. One man against the raging storm. This is what we try to be on our own. It is the arrogance of the existential man. The great lie of Satan that man can live his life independent from God.
A dangerous lie not just for the lost man; but also for the Christian.
We are not here to demonstrate our own abilities for God. Nor are we to engage in proving our devotion to God by living this life in the strength of our own "dedicated Christian flesh".
As Paul said so long ago, "For in him we live, and move, and have our being..." (Acts 17:28). Christ wants us to rest in Him. So that He can reveal Himself to the world through us. So that He can demonstrate who He is and what He can do.

Experience a story that reveals the darkness within your soul. Visit a world that will burn its mysterious existence forever on your memory. Meet characters that you cannot help but fall in love with. Play this beautiful, scary game. Princesses, witches, demons, and creatures! An incredibly fantastic nightmare!
Even with millions of polygons and thousands of dollars, if a game doesn't have a story, sound, and art that aren't of the highest caliber, it won't be able to give the player the ultimate nightmarish experience.
The creators of a legendary Japanese dark fantasy RPG series team up with the queen of Art Battle to create a Visual novel game unlike any other.
The princess was just too beautiful. She was given all the good qualities of this world, such things as beauty, grace, kindness, tolerance, and honesty. It would soon be the princess' 16th birthday.
On the day of her birthday, a young girl visited the castle. She was a witch.
The witch spoke words of incantation, and the princess fell into an eternal sleep. The days would pass with none but the two girls together in the confines of the princess' room.
On the 100th year of the princess' sleep, a brave prince visited her sleeping form. The princes had been told by a wise man that the princess would awaken with a kiss. However, the princess would not awaken, and the prince defeatedly returned home.
Every 100 years a new prince would visit the princess. Heroes from history, legendary figures, people from alternate worlds… Everyone tried to awaken the princess.
The witch, with the desire to protect the princess, would gaze with frigid eyes upon those who wished to awaken her.
What is the motive of this mysterious witch? What secret was entrusted to the princess? All is still unclear.
Let us open the magic door and look quietly in upon the sleeping princess. There we may find the answers to our burning questions.
There are a number of different versions of the classic tale "Sleeping Beauty". Every version of the story deals with the time before the princess sleeps, and after. We wanted to make a story and a world that focuses on the time while she is sleeping, which hasn't really been done before in any other classic version of the story.
Using legendary figures from folklore and myth, as well as using actual historical people is something that we've done before in the Megaten universe. Some figures and characters that have appeared in previous Megaten games might actually make an appearance in this game. Get ready because a new story of legendary proportions shall soon be created!
You determine the outcome of the story. Depending on your choices, the world will respond and reveal different aspects of the story. You hold the key to the ultimate fate of the two princesses. What awaits beyond the outskirts of the dream? Experience it with your own eyes together with the characters of "Illusionary Tales".

Note:Do not read Ezra Miller's hands out loud, or you might accidentally contribute to America's rising epidemic of in-home hexings.
Apparently bound and determined to be the one interesting thing about an otherwise bland-seeming Harry Potter spin-off movie, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald star Ezra Miller deployed another amazing red carpet look at one of the film's premieres today. But we have to point out that there's one key difference between Miller's most recent, what-if-Tilda-Swinton-was-a-swan-but-also-kind-of-punk-rock ensemble, and the one he deployed in Paris last week. (And we're not just talking about the fact that he no longer looks like a blow-up Dalek.) It's what he has printed on his hands: Avada Kedavra, a.k.a. The Killing Curse.
A brief primer for non-nerds: Avada Kedavra is one of the nastiest spells in the Harry Potter universe, the one you cast on someone when you want them to just plain drop dead. (If you've seen the movies, it's the scary green one that Ralph Fiennes is always throwing around in the back half of the series.) In other words, Miller's new palm ink is the Wizarding World equivalent of walking around with pictures of a couple of loaded guns tattooed on your hands—if saying the phrase "a loaded gun" caused a bunch of bullets to jump out of your mouth and murder whoever you were looking at. Pretty irresponsible bit of costuming, is all we're saying. C'mon, Ezra; we thought you were better than that.

The Use of Graphene Oxide for the Protection of Concrete
By Brett Smith, B.A.Jun 3 2020
Image Credit: stocksolutions/Shutterstock.com
The degradation of concrete constructions and the resulting need for regular maintenance and repair has driven interest in methods to better protect concrete, particularly from the negative impacts of water and precipitation.
One approach to protecting concrete to extend its lifetime and lower maintenance costs has been the application of surface protection materials. These materials are hydrophobic and block the penetration of damaging chloride ions found in community water supplies.
Concrete surface treatments generally fall into three different categories:
Coatings that establish a continuous film on top of a concrete surface
The use of a coating to 'impregnate' soluble surface constituents to create a protective barrier
The 'hydrophobic impregnation' of surface constituents to make water-repellent concrete
Existing coating materials have shown varying degrees of effectiveness. There currently is no single coating that is capable of protecting all kinds of concrete from deterioration.
Graphene Oxide and its Use as a Surface Protection Material
Concrete researchers have recently focused on using nanomaterials to develop superior coating materials. In particular, graphene oxide, produced by the chemical exfoliation of graphite, has emerged as a promising candidate.
Due to the superior mechanical properties conveyed by its high surface area and strength, as well as its excellent dispersibility in water, graphene oxide appears to be an excellent candidate for the surface protection of concrete.
The Potential of Graphene as a Sustainable Material
Revolutionary Graphene Applications for Construction
There has been an increasing number of studies on the use of graphene oxide in construction materials to enhance their performances. Interest in the material has partly grown because it is cheaper to produce than comparable carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers.
Preventing Water and Ion Penetration
In one recent study, researchers looked at the protective effect of a graphene oxide coating on concrete, focusing on its ability to prevent water and ions penetration.
To apply a 9 mg layer of graphene oxide on concrete samples, the study team used three application methods: brushing, spraying and submerging.
Researchers evaluated 90-day old samples for water absorption, capillary absorption and water vapor permeability. They also performed Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to assess any molecular changes, and a rapid chloride permeability test (RCPT) to evaluate the degree of corrosion due to chloride penetration.
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to assess the quality of coatings on sample surfaces, and a zeta potential analysis was conducted to determine any changes to sample surfaces.
According to water absorption and permeability tests, graphene oxide coatings reduced the volumetric and capillary intake of water by concrete specimens by approximately 40% and 57%, respectively.
The researchers found that when the graphene oxide content of a surface rises, both the volumetric and capillary absorption of concrete was lower. FTIR evaluation of graphene oxide-coated samples did not show that chemical bonding occurred. Test coatings did not affect water vapor permeability, but graphene oxide lowered chloride ion permeability to approximately 25%.
The study team said its outcomes indicated the potential for graphene oxide as a next-generation surface protection material for concrete, particularly for structures in hostile conditions.
Incorporating Graphene Oxide into Concrete
In addition to being investigated as a protective concrete coating, graphene oxide is also being studied as a potential concrete additive. Research has shown the incorporation of graphene oxide conveys superior mechanical strength and greater durability.
In general, nanomaterials have one significant negative aspect as a concrete additive: poor dispersibility. However, the oxidative functionalities of graphene oxide caused it to disperse more readily in water than any other nanomaterial.
The big drawback of adding graphene oxide to cement-based materials is a decreased workability as a result of its relatively large surface area that tends to absorb water. It also has a cumbersome lateral size that has a significant capacity for water retention.
Despite these disadvantages, the inclusion of a small amount of graphene oxide (approximately 1% by weight of cement) has been proven to enhance the compressive strength. Furthermore, the use of .05% graphene oxide has been shown to increase the compressive and flexural strength of concrete.
A recent study focused specifically on the inclusion of graphene oxide in concrete composites, with natural fine and coarse aggregate [1]. The study discovered that the incorporation of graphene oxide, with varying percentage content, can decrease workability but considerably boost compressive strength (21 to 55%) and tensile strength (16 to 38%).
Initial surface absorption and sorptivity were also found to diminish as graphene oxide content was increased in concrete samples.
The study team performed a cost analysis that found a .06% inclusion of graphene oxide is the best possible mix for maximum strength achieved on 90-day old samples.

Workboat replica winds up 'on the rocks'
Alcohol may have been a factor in the Virginia grounding
A 55-year-old man who ran his 43-foot replica workboat onto a rock jetty in Hampton, Va., in late July, was arrested on the scene by Hampton police and charged with operating while intoxicated.
George Brian McCauley of Virginia Beach reportedly told police he was returning from a sailboat race in Solomons Island, Md., and landed on the rocks at the mouth of the Salt Ponds Inlet just after turning off his autopilot.
"I pushed the wrong controls, and the boat swerved off course," says McCauley. "I was only going about 10 knots and was tired after eight hours of operating the boat alone. I was heading into the Salt Ponds Inlet to anchor for the night and sleep because I still had about 15 miles to go."
McCauley's autopilot had directed the boat to a 19-foot-high flashing-red navigation aid at the inlet, and when he reached it he shut the pilot off. The marker warns boaters to steer clear of the jetty, which extends 150 yards into Chesapeake Bay.
His boat, Mary Rebecca, was built on the lines of a traditional Bay deadrise workboat in 2002 by Jimmy Drewery at The Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Va. It came to rest on the rocks at high tide around 10 p.m. July 20.
"I had called a towboat to pull me off, and with a tow line I think I could have gotten it off," he says. But he says police arrived first and took him into custody. By daylight, with the tide down, the boat presented a dramatic sight marooned on the pile of rocks.
The accident occurred between Grandview and Buckroe beaches, according to press reports and the Hampton police. Insurance company adjusters determined the boat was salvageable, and it was towed off the rocks.
McCauley, who was released July 21 on $1,000 bail, had undergone a blood alcohol test, and police reportedly determined his alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit. He was uninjured. Within 20 minutes of the grounding police were on the scene after residents called to report the accident.
Drewery says Mary Rebecca is a tough deadrise-type boat planked with Southern white cedar. The bottom is glassed over and the bow area beefed up with fiberglass. She was towed to Cobbs Marine Railway on Little Creek in Norfolk where she was hauled and inspected. The damage wasn't major.
Drewery has built about 15 wooden boats of various sizes at The Mariners' Museum, which allows him to use its facilities and a shed to exhibit a traditional boatbuilding operation that also is accessible to visitors.

Welsh rocker, Dave Edmunds released the fabulously rich album, "D.E. 7th,," in the spring of 1982 after the turmoil of seeing the band he had been with for most of the past decade dissolve and changing record labels. It was his first project for the Columbia label after spending five creatively productive years with Led Zeppelin's "Swan Song" label and the first in nearly a decade without his old Rockpile cohorts, with whom he recorded and produced as a solo artist, band and on Nick Lowe's solo projects.
Being the talent magnet that he is, he never missed a step by reuniting with old Love Sculpture band mates, guitarist Micky Gee and bassist John David, and adding drummer Dave Charles and the fantastic Geraint Watkins on keys and accordion. This would be his band for the next decade and "D.E. 7th" is their Wales meets Louisiana swamp rat, punch in the face.
But the meat in between these two cuts is a pure chunk of gumbo right out of the Louisiana swamps with a hard rockin' cover of that state's own heroes. Edmunds takes NRBQ's, " Me and the Boys" to a dizzying, hard rocked edge that no other artists has done and follows it up with Watkin's rolling and rollicking, foot stompin', accordion featured, "Bail You Out." Watkin's is strong on this entire record, especially on his own composition, "Deep in the Heart of Texas," and it's endearing lyrics of the Welshman who longs to be the western cowboy he sees "on his color T.V." I actually saw Edmunds on this tour at the old Bayou club in Georgetown, D.C. and, I can assure you, Mr. Watkins practically stole the show in a live setting and I was glad I got to see this wonderful, journeyman artist perform.
Throughout, you have the classic Edmunds production of braided instrumentation, pumped up leads and layered vocals that still make him one of the best and most sought after producers of his time. The great lead trade offs between he and Gee show both men's virtuosity on the guitar and the entire piece is a great showcase for Edmund's then new (kind of) band.
Unfortunately, this record is not real well known outside of the Edmunds fan base, especially in the U.S. This is sad, because it is possibly his best, "solo" work with its predecessor, "Twangin'," being a very close second.
So, go give it a try if you haven't already. Hell, do yourself a favor and get anything and everything that Edmunds has had a part in. It's all fun!
See our piece on Rockpile, Seconds of Pleasures.
A fabulous album, and Dave's best, I think. His huge contribution to the history of rock n roll has yet to be recognized.


If there is anything most misunderstood about the Appalachian Trail thru-hike, it is the idea that it has anything to do with hiking.
I could start my attack right off the bat with the word walk. I walked a lot. I walked down state highways to the nearest town, I walked to the grocery store, to the laundromat, to Subway. I did lots of walking, but I'm pretty sure very little of it occurred on the Appalachian Trail. On the trail I remember lots of climbing, clambering, scaling, ascending, squirming, wriggling, crawling, dragging and some occasional sliding, but I don't remember much walking.
This is not the important distinction, however. All of these words describe the physical act. To see "hiking" as a physical activity is to see only the external view, but the real magic happens internally. Anyone who hikes or walks even a mile or two on a regular basis understands this. It takes absolutely no concentration to walk, and therefore your brain has nothing to do. For the brain, this will not do. Even in sleep our brains must continue to churn on in the darkness, showing us in the form of dreams that they will not be quieted. Now imagine that same brain being fueled by lots of carbs and an incredible exertion of energy. The brain must work, too.
You can look at the scenery, you can even listen to music or an audiobook, but there is absolutely nothing that can keep your mind from wandering wherever it thinks best. Music is quickly tuned out, and a sentence of an audiobook will trigger a thought, which triggers another thought, and before you know it three chapters have gone by but you're wondering what happened to your best friend from the third grade or why you can buy a coffee-maker for less than the price of a pot of coffee.
This is why the Appalachian Trail was such an amazing place to research culture. It is certainly not a cultural vacuum — far from it — but the normal influences are removed. The beauty of the trail lies not only in what is there, but also what is missing.
As we approach winter, local newspapers all over the country are publishing articles by thru-hikers about their epic journeys. In particular, I am pleased to see that many have covered the post-hike aspect of the journey. After spending five to seven months in the woods, how do you get back to the real world? This is an important question because it can be a difficult transition, but even more important than the utilitarian changes — how you sleep, eat, or spend your day — are the internal, mental changes. The physical journey of 2,200 miles is a drop in the bucket compared to the mental or spiritual journey that occurs in your mind. If getting used to climate control or having to be at a certain place at a certain time is difficult, how do you reconcile the fact that you are an entirely different person?
The only thing I knew for sure when I finished the trail was that I had a lot of work to do, but it was work that could be done anywhere and I had only vague plans for where I would be. I wanted to live in the moment — I have been trying to learn to live in the moment for half my life — so this was not necessarily a bad thing. So what did I do after "hiking" 2,200 miles?
I drove 2,200 miles. And then some.
It took a couple weeks to get to my car in North Carolina, but the first time I turned my tiny hatchback onto a rural highway and flew down the open road, I felt alive for the first time since I was on the trail. I had been feeling very claustrophobic, and I had once again found space. It was already my goal to visit many family and friends, but I never envisioned the miles I have been putting in. Suddenly trips that always seemed so far away were nothing. If I could cross Maryland in a couple days at 3 miles per hour, what could I do at 75? It was first exhilarating, but then, a terrifying thought came.
I spent more than six months on the trail thinking and absorbing and… changed. I thought I knew what it was to see things differently, I have always seen things differently. But now I see everything incredibly differently. Game-changing differently. I was a different person. If I was a different person, though, why was I still living someone else's life?
Right before I left for the trail my father gave me a bike he had only ridden a few times — a much nicer bike than I have ever owned — and one of the few things I felt I missed out on being gone for so long was the chance to start riding. I did get one short ride in right away, but it was winter and I didn't go very far. I probably hadn't been on a real bike ride in ten or fifteen years, but the muscle memory that allows you to jump right back on is what created the cliche for essentially everything that is easy to return to: It's like riding a bike.
Maybe that's just how life is. It's very easy to slip into the same old routine. The old me was not a bad guy (I hope), but the new me has inherited all of his decisions and priorities. Chief among them was doing too much. Even the old me tried to live by the mantra of doing one thing at a time, but this is easier said than done. When you do one thing at a time, it means something else is not getting done or is being ignored. The toughest part of this reality is that we often get caught up doing the wrong thing, that is, the thing that is not in line with our values or priorities. A sense of urgency comes upon us and we let the wrong thing fall wayside, or worse, let down the wrong person. Every day there are bosses that win out over daughters, acquaintances' over close friends, strangers over family members. It's not intentional, but when overburdened and life becomes a blur these things happen before we even realize there was a fork in the road.
I don't regret all of the miles I have done, or the ones I still have ahead of me. Wherever we go and whatever we do life teaches us things. Some parts of my journey over the last month have been difficult, particularly around large cities, but everything served a purpose. Would the book about modern society I am writing ring true if I had never had to buy a $7 half-gallon of milk or spend 30 minutes looking for a parking spot at the Jersey Gardens Mall or take the blue line into DC during the morning rush? I am thinking no. These experiences not only shed light on how much cultural influence had been removed from my life during my time on the trail, but also how vigorously I would have to fight to keep them at bay.
Still, I think it's time the new me gets to make some decisions. I cannot be irresponsible. Some changes can be effected overnight, but others must be more gradual. So be it. The important thing is that after all I have experienced, it's not good enough to live a slightly simpler life and call it a day. The new me deserves more than that.
It's time to forget how to ride a bike.


Defective or recalled drugs cause lives to be destroyed. Can you imagine taking a drug you thought was safe and then turned out to damage your body? Or perhaps worse – kill a loved one?
Preliminary studies have indicated that Bextra (valdecoxib), an arthritis drug manufactured by Pfizer, Inc., could potentially be one of the leading causes of Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and erythema multiforme (EM) due to drug allergy reactions. These studies also indicate that Bextra, like Vioxx (another COX-2 inhibitor that was recently pulled from the shelves by its manufacturer, Merck & Co. Inc.), may be linked with greatly increased risks of cardiovascular (CV) events such as heart attacks and strokes. PROFITS, PROFITS, PROFITS!!!
Because this drug was so aggressively marketed, Pfizer has enjoyed millions of dollars in profit from it. As a result, experts predict the final damages amount to be in the billions.
Millions of people in the U.S. have been prescribed Bextra. Anyone who has used Bextra on a regular basis is at risk. Any of the highly-qualified and experienced Bextra attorneys that you see on the panels on both sides of this page will help you get the guidance you deserve. Even though health risks for Bextra have been exposed, Pfizer is still potentially responsible for side effects suffered by people taking the drug.
Are you one of many who have been injured by the Bextra drug? You may consider starting or joining a class action. Class actions are an effective way to level the playing field against the corporate giant, Pfizer, Inc., while keeping the individual plaintiff costs down to a minimum.
If you've taken Bextra within the last 3 years and you suffer from Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) or erythema multiforme (EM), or you've been diagnosed with another condition that could be linked with your use of Bextra you need to contact a qualified attorney NOW!
No matter what state you live in, call our law firm to discuss your particular situation. Our law firm will be able to help you determine the best course of action in regards to your situation and/or claim. Remember, pharmaceutical and defective drug lawsuit claims, including Bextra class action claims are governed by federal laws, so state boundaries won't stop you from getting the best possible lawyer to help you with your potential claim.
Do not let your BEXTRA matter sit unsolved. There is only a certain amount of time to evaluate your potential claim based on your use of Bextra, so take action now!
