The Mystery of the Magic Formula
An Evening with Veronika Eberhart and Guests
Guests: Michaela Kisling, Nicholas Hoffman & Mhairi McInnes
In The Mystery of the Magic Formula Veronika Eberhart invites the audience to revisit the main site of her film 9 is 1 and 10 is none. (Currently on show at Hysterical Mining).
The wood workshop with three machines (which served as the location for the film) was taken over in 1968 by a young married couple. It was a typical family-owned business, as many others in Austria, that expanded in the post war era until the 1960s, when it began to shrink due to the increasing industrialization of furniture production in the 1990s, until they eventually had to close in 2000s.
The reading involves an interview that was held with the former owners of the place. It revolves around their relation to the production, to the machines and their gender-specific division of labor.
It is framed by a musical performance by Veronika Eberhart and Michaela Kisling. "The Magic Formula" (taken from Goethe's Faust) is not only part of the speculative themes in Eberharts contribution to the exhibition, but also plays a key role in the performance: "Make seven and eight, 'Tis finished straight; And nine is one, And ten is none." (In English)
Veronika Eberhart studied Sociology and Gender Studies at the Universities of Vienna and Copenhagen, as well as at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna. She lives and works in Vienna.

Fifty eight years ago, on March 17, 1960, Hoffman Estates installed its first police chief. The new police department would be headed by Mark Orlick, a 24 year veteran of the Highland Park, Michigan Police Department.
His first order of business would be to hire new police officers. Starting salary for the new police officer/officers would be $4,800 for the first 6 months. It wasn't certain that more than one officer could be hired due to budget restraints. New officers had to reside in Hoffman Estates for 1 year, pass all the physical exams, be between 5 ft. 9 inches and 6 ft. 2 inches tall and not be underweight according to the weight charts.
Chief Orlick was prepared to get right to the business of serving the residents of Hoffman Estates. He brought police forms from the Highland Park, Michigan Police Department and a month's supply of traffic tickets to see him through until he'd be able to print his own. He needed to purchase a Ford heavy-duty police interceptor cruiser with a special police interceptor V-8 engine. He had a Detroit dealer in mind but would also ask for a competitive price from a local dealer. Until the new squad car arrived, officers would drive their own car or a rental.
Mark Orlick came to Hoffman Estates with an excellent background. He had organized the Hazel Park, Michigan Police Department, taught classes for the FBI, received 2 citations for bravery and completed a course in police study at the Northwestern Traffic Institute. He held the rank of Lt. Col. Infantry in the Michigan National Guard.
One of the requirements for his position as Police Chief was to reside in Hoffman Estates. Until he sold his home in Michigan he decided to live at village hall. At that time it was the old Hammerstein Farm House that had just become our village hall. It's not known how long he lived at village hall but he certainly was always available for any emergency situation and was working around the clock to get the new police department up and running.

As I drive around town or back and forth to work, I notice that the police cars keep changing. Some are the 4 door sedans, but many are SUV's of all types. It's nice for our officers to have enough room in their squads to pick up a bike that's been abandoned on the roadside after being stolen or damaged. They probably like having the extra room for other everyday work. Over the years the colors have changed along with the newer makes and models.
I began to do some research into how our police force has changed over the years. My first memory of the police department dates back to 1965 when I first moved to Hoffman Estates. The police department had a small area on the north end of the old Gieseke/Hammerstein farmhouse (now the Children's Advocacy Center) that served as the first sales office for F & S Construction but later became home to our first village hall, public works and police departments. The north end of the upper floor was used for police offices. The slanted ceiling always required walking about in a slightly stooped position for police chief Mark Orlick who had his office upstairs. A small addition was added to the back of the farmhouse to serve as a small jail. Our population in the 1960 census was 8,296.
The Daily Record newspaper had a 1962 story about the police department. At that time, the force consisted of the Chief Orlick, Lt. John O'Connell, Sgt. Willard Anderson and six patrolmen; Norm Kalovsky, Robert Manning, Ray Schneider, George Eckart, Rod Schwartz and Richard Hecker. The training for the officers was given at the Chicago Police Academy.
There were only 3 squad cars to patrol the neighborhoods. Two squads were on duty at all times with all three on duty during the "rush hour". Other duties of the police officers were to take accident victims to area hospitals (Arlington Heights or Elgin) when they didn't need an ambulance. They served as armed guards for large monetary deposits from businesses or large organizations to Roselle or Palatine banks since there was no bank in town. They also served as marriage counselors for domestic disputes. During 1961 they handled 2,662 calls from residents. The most common were dog bites, prowlers and suspicious persons or vehicles.
Since the early 60s, our village has grown from a population of 8,500 to 53,000 in 2014. Our village borders now reach west to Elgin and north to Inverness. There are 22 square miles for our police force to cover in their efforts to keep us safe.
We now have 93 sworn officers, 31 marked cars, with 8 patrol cars on the streets at all times. Our police department took 19,339 calls from the community in 2013. Their 12 weeks of training is done with the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy at College of Du Page. They continue with 14 weeks of on–the-job training.
The present day police force still helps us deal with domestic disputes, dog bites; traffic accidents, prowlers and suspicious persons, but they do it on a much larger scale. With modern communication tools, we dial 911 and they arrive on the scene or at our doors in a matter of minutes. It's reassuring to know someone is there to help us.
The question is: where in Schaumburg could you find a Western Store and the village's municipal offices and jail housed in the same building?
It all began in 1954 when Henry H. and Elvira Freise, long-time German farmers, sold their 160 acre farm to William E. Frank and his wife, Evelyn. The farm was located on the northeast corner of Roselle and Golf Roads in Schaumburg Township. Coming from the city, the Franks were considered outsiders but, in their hands, the farm remained a farm.
They remodeled the old farm house for themselves and eventually built another home for their son, Bill, and his wife, Pat. Their first order of business, though, was to rebuild and repair some of the barns and outbuildings so that they could open for business as a working ranch. While living in Norwood Park, the Franks had owned riding horses and this hobby transferred well to the rural nature of Schaumburg Township. It became known as Sundance Acres Ranch. Later, in a number of places such as the ads shown below, it was shortened to Sundance Ranch.
They raised, trained and boarded quarterhorses—their own and those owned by the public. According to the daughter of Mayor Bob Atcher, he boarded his horses, Golden Storm "Stormy" and Dakota at the ranch.
The horses owned by the Franks were trained largely for cutting and roping and were shown at an average of 35 shows during the April-October season. They also gave riding lessons to the residents moving into the new subdivisions in Schaumburg Township.
By 1957, 20-year-old Bill Frank was running the business. In 1960 he expanded it to include a Western Store that was housed in a third building on the property. The Sundance Western Store was not only a saddle shop but featured a wide variety of men's, women's and children's apparel. Everything from shirts, blue jeans, "frontier pants", jewelry, "squaw dresses", moccasins, chaps and riding jackets were sold.
When Mr. Frank moved to the area, he had been involved in the construction business for years and was the owner and president of the W.E. Frank Company, Inc. as well as Charmaine Builders, Inc. Knowing a little something about building and development, Mr. Frank saw what was coming in the area and elected to run for trustee for the newly formed village of Schaumburg in February, 1956. He served on the board until 1963 and was instrumental in drafting many of the village's first building ordinances and amendments that came later. His expertise was also invaluable in ironing out many of the details of the water and sewage utilities as well as the roads and sidewalks of the newly annexed Weathersfield subdivision.
In early 1960 Mr. Frank must have offered the Western Store building to the village as a temporary quarters for their village hall and new, one-man police department. On March 15 Martin Conroy was hired as police chief and his police station—complete with no phone, no squad car and no lockup—was a room that was attached to the Sundance Ranch. In an article from The Herald (September 6, 1973) "Conroy said the one room served not only the one-man police department, but was used for board meetings and court proceedings." He continues by saying, "We had to share the public toilet with the store. There was only one." From April until December, village business was done at the Ranch until the headquarters was moved into a house in the new Weathersfield development at 100 Springinsguth Road.
During the 1960s, according to numerable mentions in the Daily Herald, the ranch was heavily involved in the horse community. They sponsored horse shows, hayrack/barbecue parties and served as the grounds for the North Cook County 4-H Fair.
Maybe some of you can help me out and relate your memories of the Sundance Ranch. Maybe you rode there, maybe you attended a birthday party complete with a hayrack ride, maybe you even have a picture of that party or maybe you knew the Frank family and can help with their unusual history in the Schaumburg community. Any and all information is gladly accepted!
Information from the June 23, 1960 issue of the Hoffman Herald and an article written by Loie Wiley from an unidentified paper were used as background for this blog posting.

The beautiful new police department building on Spring Mill Drive will be opening this July. Its only 6 or 7 blocks from its original home on Illinois Blvd. That first police department was in the old Gieseke/Hammerstein farm house, now the Children's Advocacy Center. In 1959 the Hoffman Estates Homeowners Association turned the property over to the newly incorporated Village of Hoffman Estates and the 100 year old building became the first village hall and police department. They had only one makeshift jail cell in the back of the building. The old farm house had creaking floors and spiders in the basement.
The Hoffman Estates police didn't have radio contact with one another nor with the officer back at the police desk. The only way they knew that a call had come in was to regularly drive past the farm house and see what was happening with the front farm house window. If the window shade was up, they could continue on their rounds but if they saw that the window shade was pulled down, they'd better stop in and see who needed them. They didn't have car radios installed until 1967.
There were only 10 men on the force. Mark A. Orlick was the first police chief. Grey and navy were the first uniform colors. Over the years, black shoes were the only consistent part of the uniform as it changed in the 1960s, 1980s and again in 1999.
The first squad car was navy blue and the squad car colors have changed more than the officer's uniforms. We've had light blue, dark green, two-tone light green and white, navy blue again, all white and now black and white. The top red bubble light has gone to the more streamlined Mars emergency light.
A new village hall was needed after more than a decade in the Hammerstein farm house. On June 25, 1972, the new 31,000 square-foot building was dedicated. It was the first municipal building in Illinois that was completely accessible to the handicapped. It must have been a wonderful change from the old farmhouse. The force was up to 32 men in 1972 and the new police facilities could handle 90 men and women.
Over the past 50 years we've moved from window shades to lap top computers, from spiders in the basement to grass on the roof.
P.S. I wonder who gets to cut the grass.

Spotlight is the name given to a BBC Northern Ireland weekly current affairs programme. It debuted in 1973.

The programme is aired on BBC1 Northern Ireland at 10:35pm (and sometimes early) on Tuesday evenings, with a repeat on BBC2. It is available to UK viewers outside of Northern Ireland on BBC iPlayer for a week after the programme. The format usually consists of a half-hour report presented on a rotating basis by a small number of presenters and reporters. At present, these are Brian Hollywood, Stephen Walker, Darragh MacIntyre and Bobby Friedman. Occasionally, the programme consists of a studio format with various reports and panel discussions.

Spotlight is well known for its hard-hitting investigations and recently won a Royal Television Society award for Mandy McAuley's dog-fighting investigation.

It has launched the careers of a number of high-profile broadcasters, including Jeremy Paxman and Gavin Esler.

Spotlight at 40
On 22 October 2013, Spotlight celebrated its 40th anniversary with a special show dubbed Spotlight at 40. The show featured interviews with stars such as Gavin Esler, Patrick Kielty, Stephen Nolan and Jeremy Paxman and took a look back at the show's 40-year run including its most controversial shows.

Height is an attribute of both flight lines and photo centres.
It is the flying height above sea level.
In the majority of cases, only the flight lines have values for this attribute. However, in a small number of cases where the run was carried out at varying heights, the flying height was recorded for each photo. In these cases the average flying height to the nearest 50 metres was attributed to the flight line.
The height used in this search is the 'Height' attribute of the flight lines.

A Bulgária comunista, como em outros estados do bloco oriental, operou uma rede de campos de trabalhos forçados entre 1944 e 1989, com particular intensidade até 1962. Dezenas de milhares de prisioneiros foram enviados a essas instituições, muitas vezes sem julgamento.

Contexto
O Exército Vermelho entrou na Bulgária em setembro de 1944 e imediatamente os guerrilheiros, que eram principalmente comunistas e pró-União Soviética, retaliaram. Dezenas de milhares foram executados, incluindo fascistas ativos e membros da polícia política, mas também pessoas que eram simplesmente membros da intelectualidade não comunista, membros das classes profissionais e burguesas. Simplesmente desagradar um quadro comunista pode levar à execução. Esses massacres foram ativamente encorajados por Georgi Dimitrov, que enviou um telegrama de Moscou uma semana após a chegada dos soviéticos em Sofia pedindo "que todos os sinais de patriotismo búlgaro, nacionalismo ou anticomunismo fossem queimados." Em 20 de setembro, o Comitê Central pediu o extermínio da "resistência anticomunista" e dos "contra-revolucionários".

Em outubro de 1944, foi criado um Tribunal Popular. Este tribunal especial proferiu 12.000 sentenças de morte e mais de 2.700 foram executadas. No início de 1945, um decreto governamental permitiu a criação de Centros de Educação para o Trabalho (TVO em búlgaro) que funcionavam como campos de concentração. A decisão foi aprovada por todas as partes da Frente Patria, um movimento de resistência política bolchevique búlgaro, incluindo aquelas cujos membros logo se encontraram nos centros. Uma categoria de presos incluía proxenetas, chantagistas, mendigos e vadios, enquanto a outra incluía todos aqueles julgados como ameaças políticas à estabilidade e segurança do Estado. O poder de executar este decreto coube ao Escritório de Segurança do Estado do Ministério do Interior. Na década seguinte, uma série de leis e decretos fortaleceram os poderes da polícia estadual.

Nem todas as pessoas consideradas indesejáveis pelo regime foram enviadas para campos de trabalhos forçados. A deportação - reassentamento forçado em áreas provinciais distantes - foi outro método empregado. Entre 1948 e 1953, cerca de 25.000 foram deportados.

O primeiro campo de concentração foi estabelecido em novembro de 1944 em Zelendol e nele, em cumprimento às exigências do armistício, foram presos 203 cidadãos da Alemanha e seus aliados.

Desenvolvimento

1945-1949
Os campos de trabalhos forçados operavam em muitos lugares da Bulgária. Os campos foram montados perto de barragens de construção, minas de carvão e em certas áreas agrícolas. Alguns dos mais famosos foram Bobov Dol, Bogdanov Dol, Rositsa, Kutsian, Bosna, Nozharevo e Chernevo.

1949–1953
Prisioneiros políticos de outros campos foram reunidos e reagrupados no campo de trabalho forçado de Belene, localizado em Persin (Belene), uma ilha no Danúbio perto da Romênia.

1954-1956
As deportações para os campos diminuíram dramaticamente, talvez cessando completamente. No entanto, Belene permaneceu em operação.

1956-1959
Vários novos presos vieram para Belene após a Revolução Húngara de 1956 e uma onda de crimes em Sofia no início de 1958. Entre as figuras detidas em Belene durante este período estavam Konstantin Muraviev, o último primeiro-ministro búlgaro a servir antes a Frente da Pátria. golpe de 9 de setembro de 1944.

1959–1962
Uma greve de fome de prisioneiros forçou o fechamento de Belene em 1959. Aqueles que não foram libertados (alguns documentos indicam que são 166) foram transferidos para um novo campo em Lovech que fazia fronteira com uma pedreira. Vários milhares eventualmente se juntaram a este grupo original. Em setembro de 1961, cerca de cem prisioneiras foram enviadas para um campo vizinho em Skravena. Naquele novembro, as condições melhoraram notavelmente em Lovech. Na primavera de 1962, o Politburo criou uma comissão, liderada por Boris Velchev, para inspecionar Lovech, que foi encerrada em abril como resultado da visita de sua delegação. Em Lovech e Skravena, 149 presidiários morreram de abuso durante este período.

Lovech, uma cidade no centro-norte da Bulgária, está localizada na fronteira dos Bálcãs. O último e mais difícil dos principais campos de trabalho comunista foi montado perto de uma pedreira abandonada nos arredores da cidade. Até 1959, os campos se espalharam pela Bulgária, mas a maioria foi fechada após a queda de Chervenkov e os prisioneiros foram transferidos para Lovech. O Ministério do Interior, não as autoridades regionais, tinha controle direto sobre o campo. A maioria dos búlgaros não sabia de sua existência, mas tinha uma reputação entre aqueles que haviam incorrido no descontentamento do estado como um lugar do qual nunca se poderia sair vivo.

1962–1989
A intensidade da repressão estatal variou durante esses anos. Uma decisão do Politburo em 1962 disse que uma pessoa poderia ser presa e designada para trabalhos forçados sem um julgamento no tribunal. A repressão neste período foi de natureza administrativa e não política, tendo como alvo os acusados de "parasitismo social" ou "moral frouxa", muitas vezes com informações fornecidas por "organizações populares", como os bairros da Frente de la Patria. Na década de 1980, vários turcos búlgaros foram enviados para Belene.

Em 1990, o Partido Comunista Búlgaro estabeleceu uma comissão de inquérito nos campos. Ele descobriu que entre 1944 e 1962 havia aproximadamente 100 campos de trabalhos forçados em um país de 8 milhões de habitantes. Entre 1944 e 1953, cerca de 12.000 homens e mulheres passaram por esses campos, com outros 5.000 entre 1956 e 1962. De acordo com uma testemunha, Belene deteve apenas 7.000 em 1952. Outra estima um total de 186.000 prisioneiros durante esse período. Os números finais permanecem indefinidos.

Dortmund triumphed in the Bundesliga's showpiece game, courtesy of a first-half goal from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Thomas Tuchel is no stranger to a three-man defence, having played that system the previous weekend against Hamburg in a 5-2 victory. But this was a different shape in midfield, and featured very different personnel too. Julian Weigl, Marcel Schmelzer, Mario Gotze, Andre Schurrle and Adrian Ramos all came into the side having been omitted last weekend, which presumably surprised Bayern.
Carlo Ancelotti, meanwhile, played a system that looked like a cross between a 4-4-2 and a 4-3-3, a compromise he often used at Real Madrid. Here, Thomas Muller was half-forward and half-winger, Frank Ribery was half-winger and half-wide midfielder, and Joshua Kimmich tucked inside as half-central midfielder, half-wide midfielder. It was slightly confused, but it did cause Dortmund problems.
The more interesting system, however, was clearly Dortmund's. In simple terms this was a 5-3-2 or a 3-5-2 depending upon the positioning of the wing-backs, but it's significant that the two more advanced players were Schurrle, a natural winger, and Gotze, a number 10. They pushed forward into very advanced positions, and often drifted into wide zones when Adrian Ramos and Aubameyang moved into the middle.
It often looked like Dortmund were playing with six defensive players – the full-backs pushed forward sporadically – and four attackers, which means 3-3-2-2 feels more appropriate.
Dortmund made inroads down the right in the first half. Part of Bayern's problem was Ribery not tracking Piszczek (who played a more attacking role than Schmelzer on the opposite side) although the movement of Gotze to the outside also caused some issues. Indeed, the opener stemmed from Gotze crossing from a right-sided position, and after the ball was half-cleared, he drifted infield to supply a low pass that Aubemeyang prodded home.
The problem for Dortmund, however, was Ribery in that floating role. On the opposite side, Muller moved inside and was watched by Marc Bartra, while Kimmich played too deep and narrow to offer a real attacking threat, and was sometimes closed down by Schmelzer.
But with Piszczek usually concentrating on David Alaba, it meant Ribery was the responsibility of Matthias Ginter, who stuck very tight and prevented the Frenchman from turning. However, the knock-on effect was a huge space to the right of Dortmund's defence, effectively leaving half the pitch bare. When Bayern had the ball in defence, Dortmund kept a high offside line, and Lewandowski repeatedly made runs towards the left to expose Dortmund's lopsided defensive line. One long ball from Mats Hummels, in particular, showed how Dortmund were vulnerable in that zone, and there was a marginal offside call that could have gone the other way.
Later, Thiago also pushed forward into that position to run in behind Ginter. Meanwhile, Lewandowski drifted towards the opposite side towards the end of the first half. Bartra was on a booking, and was a little fortunate not to be cautioned again when hauling down the Polish striker.
Towards the end of the first half Dortmund were forced back by Bayern's pressure, but in the second half it felt like they used a more deliberate defensive approach: their defensive line sat considerably deeper and the wing-backs were part of a more obvious back five. Equally crucially, Tuchel switched to a 5-4-1 system. Ramos was moved into a left-midfield role, with Schurrle playing from the right. Dortmund now had equal numbers down the flanks.
The second half was a typical game between a possession side and a counter-attacking side – Bayern chasing an equaliser, Dortmund sporadically trying to strike on the break and put the game to bed. For all Bayern's pressure, Dortmund had the clearer chances: Aubameyang twice should have sealed the game, once because of an awful Alonso error. But he showed little composure in front of goal, and Bayern kept coming.
There was only one significant change from Ancelotti. Douglas Costa replaced Kimmich and played a more extreme wide role, hugging the right touchline even when the ball was on the opposite flank. He and Ribery stretched the play, and Bayern almost exclusively went down the flanks, rather than through the centre. Costa was considered so dangerous that Tuchel brought on Erik Durm, essentially a second left-back to sit ahead of Schmelzer. Schurrle departed, with Ramos switching flanks.
For all Bayern's pressure and possession, it's difficult to identify any clear-cut chances – the closest they came was an extraordinary long-range Alonso effort which struck the woodwork. Their approach felt slightly predictable, with lots of crosses towards Muller and Lewandowski – although, in fairness, that has proved a very useful Plan B before.
This first meeting between Ancelotti and Tuchel showed their approaches perfectly. Ancelotti played a lopsided system designed entirely to get his best players in their favoured positions, a formation which arguably lacked balance. Tuchel, on the other hand, played a system with key players out of position to suit the tactical demands of the game. Ancelotti is players-first, Tuchel is system-first.
The first goal felt particularly crucial, allowing Dortmund to play on the counter-attack for the remainder of the game. While Dortmund's overall performance was very impressive, there were problems in the first half with the positioning of Ginter and Bartra's fouls, and the home side looked more comfortable in the second half when sitting deeper with the full-backs a clear part of the defensive line.
Great to have you back….more please!
It was expected for Steaua Bucuresti to win yesterday's game. Tamas's goal came as a nice surprise. It is good to see Steaua Bucuresti scoring a victory in this match and adding 3 more points for their rankings. I am sure Reghecampf will have to review the team's offensive and defensive strategy for the next match against Villareal.

Cancer Research UK. (1/27/16). "Press Release: CRT Announces License Agreement with MSD to Develop Inhibitors of PRMT5 for Cancer and Blood Disorders".
Organisation Cancer Research Technology Ltd. (CRT)
Group Cancer Research UK (CRUK) (Group)
Organisation 2 Merck (US) (MSD) (Group)
Product PRMT5 inhibitor (protein arginine methyltransferase 5 inhibitor)
Product 2 IP services
Person L'Huillier, Phil (Cancer Research UK 201207 Director of Business Management at CRT)
Cancer Research Technology (CRT) – the development and commercialisation arm of Cancer Research UK – has today entered into a license agreement with MSD, known as Merck in the US and Canada, to develop inhibitors of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5). These promising new drugs, which potentially have clinical applications in both cancer and non-cancer blood disorders, have been developed by the Australian Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Cancer Therapeutics (CTx) with support from the Wellcome Trust and CRT.?
CRT has licensed rights to MSD on behalf of CTx – a Melbourne based CRC focused on the discovery and development of novel therapies for cancer. The programme is the result of initial research by Professor Stephen Jane at Monash University and collaboration between the CTx academic partners.
The PRMT5 protein is involved in many cellular processes including the epigenetic control of genes such as p53 – a gene that protects the cell against cancer-causing mutations and is faulty in nine out of ten cancers. High levels of PRMT5 protein are found in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), melanoma, lung and breast cancers and are linked to poor survival.
In addition to applications for cancer, PRMT5 inhibitors switch on important genes in the development of blood, which could provide disease-modifying treatment options for patients with blood disorders like sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia.
Dr Ian Street, CTx chief scientific officer, said: "We are delighted to be working with CRT and MSD to progress the PRMT5 programme to the clinic. This is why CTx was established, to leverage cutting edge research developed by Australian scientists and ensure that this knowledge is translated for the benefit of patients."
Under the terms of the license, MSD will be responsible for research and development, including clinical development, and for worldwide commercialisation of products. As part of the research and development activities, MSD has entered into a research collaboration with CTx focusing on blood disorders, which MSD will fund.
CRT will receive an upfront payment of US$15 million (around £10.5 million) and is eligible to receive potential payments of up to US$0.5 billion (around £0.35 billion) for achievement of development, regulatory and commercialisation milestones. In addition, the agreement provides for royalties on sales. All payments will be shared between CRT, CTx and the Wellcome Trust with the majority being returned to CTx and its Australian research partners.
Dr Phil L'Huillier, Cancer Research Technology's director of business development, said: "We're delighted to have brought together the multiple parties involved in the discovery and optimisation of this multi-purpose target and to have established this major license agreement. The deal provides potentially significant financial returns, which CRT will invest into life-saving cancer research, and most importantly will hopefully bring promising new drugs to cancer patients as well as those suffering from blood disorders where there are no effective treatment options available."
Dr Warwick Tong, CTx chief executive, said: "This is a great result for Australian science and the CRC Programme as a whole and further demonstrates what can be achieved when science and commercialisation capabilities unite."
Dr Richard Seabrook, head of business development at the Wellcome Trust, said: "We're excited to see that the support from our Seeding Drug Discovery Award is playing a key role in moving the project forward. We hope that in time the collaboration will lead to the development of effective new treatments for haemoglobin disorders such as sickle cell and beta thalassemia, both of which are associated with significant illness and early mortality."

Predictive Analysis
Fast stats on major recruitment challenges
By Charles Hipps
In my last post, I shared how there is an increasing need for businesses to become more superhuman and take advantage of new technologies to see the unseen. I wanted to expand on this some more and share more of the insights from our employer survey that showcase why companies must turn to tech in bid to tame the talent lion…
1. Recruiters are struggling with staff churn
47% expect to lose over a tenth of their workforce in any given year
On average, businesses lose 14% of staff within a typical 12 month period
For some it is more significant - 13% expect to lose 30% or more of employees per annum
Just 3% of recruiters predict they will lose no staff members in a typical year
Indeed 31% of HR heads expect an employee to remain in their role for 18 months or less, with 16% suggesting it is more likely to be less than one year.
Even when companies think they've replaced a leaver – few get it right first time.
14% of new hires leave within 30 days of starting a new role. A further 13% will likely leave within three months and 12% within six months - therefore nearly two fifths of new employees leave their new job within just half a year of starting it.
In essence companies are struggling to identify people who are not only suited for the role but are likely to stay with the company for any useful length of time.
2. Recruiting to replace these people is fraught with problems such as reneging…
Reneging - 94% of those studied face reneging
For them it typically happens 15% of the time
6% suggest that it happens for 40% or more of their hires – makes scale of the problem clear to see.
79% feel that reneging is as bad, if not worse, now, when compared to five years ago
3. Even if someone has been found for a role and accepts it – there's a considerable delay until they start delivering…
Getting Up to Speed - 71% feel that it will take a new starter three months or more to be fully up to speed and producing the same level of work as the person they are replacing
14% say it takes between 9 months to a year - having staff underperforming or learning on the job for such a significant period of time will inevitably have an impact on colleagues, and the bottom line.
4. Indeed some never do live up to their promise…
Poor Performance - Almost half believe new employees live up to expectations less than 20% of the time.
71% feel that it takes three months or more for an employee to get up to speed – then it might be some time before a company realises that a team member is not the right fit and isn't going to be right for the role.
This illustrates how crucial it is that the right hire is made in the first instance, ensuring budget and time are not wasted in hiring the wrong candidate.
5. All this puts a considerable cost burden on businesses…
54% of those studied revealed that 5% or more of their company's turnover is spent on recruitment
6% spend more than 10% on it
When the respondents were asked how much it costs to recruit an employee for a typical £25,000 per annum role - allowing for recruitment costs, training and onboarding costs, loss of productivity and the HR team's time - 5% felt it was as much as £40,000
A further 29% suggested that is certainly over £10,000.
6. And much of this spend is wasted…
According to the data, the average cost per hire is £9,183, so an SME employing 250 people that is losing 14% of its staff each year, only to see 39% of new employees leave within six months, is wasting £125,347 on failed recruitment per annum.
Against this backdrop HR teams are battling with a myriad of other challenges which are also impacting on their ability to find the right talent…
Complex processes – involving 80+ steps - for each and every hire
Fierce Competition - 72% felt that the battle for the best candidates is greater, or at least the same, as it was three years ago
Nearly half (47%) felt that the competition for the best applicants was fiercer than it has ever been.
Makes the issue of reneging even more problematic - not only fighting to find top talent, but because they are 'wasting' time on the wrong candidate.
Speed to Hire - 36% say speed to hire is key measure upon which their team is judged. As a result, 23% are trying to get faster at hiring – but this could be impacting on the quality of hires
53% are concerned that the pressure to get quicker at hiring people means they risk missing out on the best candidates.
Diversity Challenges - Diversity and eliminating bias is still an issue for one in five (19%)
48% are actively looking to improve the ethnic diversity of their employees
36% hope to increase gender diversity
33% want a more diverse workforce in terms of education and background.
Tech is the Answer… (it's not just us saying this for the sake of it!)
Two fifths of the HR heads interviewed felt that more than 30% of their recruitment process is already based on data.
Delving further into the statistics shows that 17% have 50% or more of their hiring process being data driven.
And further automation is set to help them further
41% said automated decision-making would speed up their time to hire
One third felt it would make the decision process more consistent
31% think that it would reduce the manual aspect to their roles
Eliminating errors (30%), freeing up time to spend on good candidates (28%) and reducing bias (28%).
AI - 39% predicted that AI will most benefit them over next five years in terms of reducing the risk of missing out on 'hidden gems' of talent,
Helping remove bias from the decision making process (28%), predicting the likelihood of an applicant accepting a role (23%), identifying potential inconsistencies among internal recruiters (22%) and predicting whether an applicant will perform well in a role (20%) were all selected.

I read that Vit D deficiency doesn't necessarily cause p; but may be a contributing factor as it impairs the body's ability to keep skin healthy. I just changed my Omega 3 to one that has 1000iu of vit d per tsp. Do you take it daily? Does it help?
Michelle, you are right, it's one of the factors based on my research. Vitamin D usually helps if you don't have enough. I think the. Natural sunlight helps to get additional vitamin d! I'm looking forward to Florida in 2 weeks with my family and get lots of sun!
I take10,000 IU of Vit D 3 daily for osteopenia, don't know it had any bearing on my fast recovery from a flare up on my hands and feet as I was just diagnosed about 6 weeks ago. I also take 2 caps of Royal Camu (Vit. D) every morning.
Good to hear you had a quick recovery from a flare Margaret! How long would you say it lasted?
I used too Michelle. Now only the Moringa powder in water. Some need vitamin D in the winter but I don't for some reason. Maybe lots of time outside all seasons, maybe just me.
I don't take it right now Michelle. I do have some on my dresser, which I was taking at one point but I never managed to get into a habit with it and never took it regularly. So it is still there! I do get plenty of time outdoors, but think I will try to take it in the autumn and winter.
I took it through the winter but so far this summer has been very sunny in the UK so I'm not taking it at the moment. I love being outdoors. My skin seems to be healing but VERY slowly. Not sure what is helping/ not helping at the moment.
Vitamin D toxicity is extremely rare, but does occur with extreme doses.
It usually develops over time, since extra vitamin D can build up in the body.
Nearly all vitamin D overdoses result from taking high amounts of vitamin D supplements.
It is almost impossible to get too much vitamin D from sunlight or food.
A daily vitamin D intake of 1000–4000 IU (25–100 micrograms) should be enough to ensure optimal blood levels for most people, unless otherwise prescribed by a physician.
It's very simple to get your Vit D levels checked as well as other vitamin levels. It's just a normal blood test. Mine showed very low in January so I took supplements 5000iu a day for 4 weeks. Next test showed sufficient D levels. Now I just enjoy the sunshine every day. It's such a good feeling to feel that sunshine on your body!
I had a severe vitamin D deficiency and noticed an improvement after being prescribed by my dr. I have tried many topicals over the last 20yrs of this diagnosis journey and the only one that has come close to helping has been a prescribed cream which is a form of vitamin D for the skin.
Note that your body needs Vitamin K in order to process D-3 vitamins.
I've had some good results too from vitamin D analogue creams Rosanna. Hope your skin will respond well to your new biologics!

About 69% of people living with HIV globally and over 90% of the children who acquired HIV infection are in Sub-Saharan Africa. Despite this, promising results have been observed, especially over the last decade – for example, a 25% decline in new HIV infections as compared to 2001 and a 38% decline in the number of children newly infected by HIV in 2012 as compared to 2009. However, the Global Plan and the Global Fast-Track Commitments of eliminating new HIV infections among children require addressing impediments to service expansion. In this regard, this paper attempts to draw attention to the extent to which disparities across income in using antenatal care (ANC) services may constrain the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) service expansion in Sub-Saharan Africa. The analysis is based on ANC service coverage data from Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2008 and 2015 in 31 Sub-Saharan African countries; and PMTCT coverage data from UNAIDS datasets released in 2016. Our analysis found that women in the highest wealth quintile are about three times more likely to frequently use ANC services (at least four visits) as compared to those in the lowest wealth quintile (95%CI: 1.7-5.7, P<0.0001). A regression analysis shows that one-quarter of the PMTCT service coverage can be explained by the disparity in ANC use associated with income; and the higher the disparity in ANC use, the lower the PMTCT service (P<0.05). The findings suggest that achieving the ambitious plan of zero new HIV infections among children while keeping their mothers alive will require on-going PMTCT/ANC service integration and ensuring that programs reach women who are most in need; specifically those in the poorest income categories.

Zalabia and the First Ice-Cream Cone
Written by Jack Marlowe
Photographed by David Alan Harvey
While waiting in line at my favorite ice-cream store, I noticed a hand-painted sign that colorfully proclaimed: "At the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, Mr. Ernest Hamwi was selling Zalabia, crisp wafer-like pastries baked on a waffle iron, a recipe that originated around the Persian Gulf. Because of the high demand, the ice cream booth next to Hamwi's stand ran out of dishes. Mr. Hamwi quickly rolled one of his pastries into a cone shape to assist his neighboring vendor. Within a few seconds, the cone cooled and hardened and THE FIRST ICE CREAM CONE WAS SERVED." "What a fine story," I thought. "If only it were so simple."
"We do not have any photographs of Ernest Hamwi, nor have we ever been able to find any record of his concession...nor any proof of his existence in St. Louis at all," says Ellen Thomasson, curatorial assistant for the Missouri Historical Society. "There were several claims to the invention of the ice-cream cone at the fair, all made many years after the fact. As far as we can tell, not one has been substantiated."
Nor, it turns out, do zalabia hail from the Arabian Gulf: They are historically Levantine, popular in Syria, Lebanon and parts of Iraq and Turkey. For that matter, they're not made in a waffle iron—they're too flat; they most resemble Italian pizzelle, including in the grid pattern that marks their surface. (North African zalabia is a very different dessert: It consists of looping, pretzel-like strands of deep-fried batter, smothered in honey or syrup and often tinted a garish orange.)
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, also called the 1904 World's Fair, was the largest the US had seen since the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. It covered some 500 hectares (1235 ac) and showed off such inventions as the year-old airplane, the radio, the telephone switchboard and the silent movie, all in addition to palaces, halls and pavilions displaying the wonders and delights of the world. (There were also less memorable attractions, among them a butter sculpture of President Theodore Roosevelt and a bear made out of prunes.) With more than 18 million visitors passing through the Exposition over its seven-month run, there were also scores of vendors offering much to eat.
Hamwi and his wife, the story goes, took their meager life's savings and invested them in a zalabia booth, joining other like-minded immigrants from the Levant in attempting to transplant to the US the crisp, round, cookie-like snack so popular back home. Each zalabia was baked between two iron platens about the size of a dinner plate, hinged together and held by a handle over a charcoal fire. They were served sprinkled with sugar. The Hamwis wound up doing their cooking next to one of the approximately 50 ice-cream stands dotted around the fair, though exactly who owned the stand is in some doubt: It was either Arnold Fornachou or Charles Menches. Whoever it was, his ice cream sold faster than Hamwi's zalabia—so fast, in fact, that one day he ran out of clean glass cups. At this moment, some say, the ice-cream man saw the possibilities of the zalabia; others claim the zalabia man saw the possibilities of the ice cream.
Hamwi's story is largely based on a letter he wrote in 1928 to the Ice Cream Trade Journal, long after he had established the Cornucopia Waffle Company, which had grown into the Missouri Cone Company. Nationally, by that time, the ice-cream cone industry was producing some 250 million cones a year. Despite the lack of further detail in his account, it gained currency. Cookbooks generally credit Hamwi. The International Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers recognizes his claim. The Joy Ice Cream Cone Company's Classic Waffle Cone box relates his tale.
There are, however, other stories. All involve the same setting, characters and plot: an Exposition ice-cream vendor who runs out of cups and a Syrian vendor (or Turkish—the terms were roughly interchangeable) who saves the day with a combination of zalabia and ambition.
One of the other stories is about Abe Doumar.
We know more about Abe Doumar than about Ernest Hamwi, thanks to Abe's nephew Albert, who at age 81 is today the owner of Doumar's Cones and Barbecue in Norfolk, Virginia. Like Hamwi, Abe Doumar came to the United States from near Damascus. Fifteen years old in 1895 or 1896, Abe Doumar left an apprenticeship with a carriage-maker and sailed to the US on a third-class ticket. He found itinerant work as a souvenir salesman at fairs around the country. By the time of the 1904 Exposition, he was in his early 20's. Wearing Arab clothes, he sold souvenirs along one of the fair's "22 Streets of Jerusalem" by day and, in the evenings, joined the camaraderie of the zalabia salesmen along "the Pike," the Exposition's entertainment promenade.
Abe related to Albert that it was there that he took a zalabia and rolled it into a cone, much as he had been accustomed to do with round pieces of flatbread in Syria when making a sandwich. But instead of bread, this was zalabia, and instead of filling the cone with slices of meat or balls of falafel, he added ice cream to make what he called "a kind of Syrian icecream sandwich." He shared the idea freely among the vendors, he said, and it was in this way the notion spread from stand to stand—including Hamwi's. (Today, street vendors throughout the Middle East offer approximately conical flatbread sandwiches that are eaten much like ice-cream cones.)
After the Exposition, Doumar went to North Bergen, New Jersey, where he developed what he believed was his invention into a four-iron machine that made zalabia that could be rolled into cones. In 1905 he opened ice-cream stands at Coney Island and "Little Coney Island" in North Bergen; two years later he left others to operate them while he moved to Norfolk ahead of the 1907 Jamestown Exposition there. As he prospered, he brought his parents and three brothers to the US from Syria, and much of the family still resides in Norfolk, where Doumar's has become something of a local legend. In 2001 the website Citysearch.com named Doumar's Cones and Barbecue one of the two best "comfort food" restaurants in Norfolk. Some mornings, Albert still runs the nearly 100-year-old cone machine, where each zalabia cooks for one minute between the cast iron platens before it is removed, rolled into a cone around a wooden form and allowed to cool and harden until crispy—all at a speed of some 200 cones per hour.
Yet there are still further contenders to the title Inventor of the Ice-Cream Cone, according to Linda Stradley's brief "History of the Ice Cream Cone." Nick Kabbaz, later president of the St. Louis Ice Cream Cone Company, claimed to have worked for Hamwi and said that the invention was actually his idea.
David Avayou, a Turkish immigrant who owned ice-cream shops in Atlantic City, New Jersey, claimed that he had brought his wares to St. Louis, that he had seen paper ice-cream cones in France, and that he applied the French idea—but with edible materials—at the Exposition.
Charles Menches, the icecream vendor who claimed to have worked in the stand next to Hamwi's, said that, no, it was he who first rolled two zalabia cones, and that he did so for a lady friend: One was for flowers, and the other was for ice cream.
Finally, there is Italo Marchiony of New York, who filed a patent for "small pastry cups with sloping sides" the year before the Exposition. But the bottoms of his cups were flat, not conical, and thus his post-Exposition claim that the burgeoning cone manufacturers were all violating his patent melted under the hot gaze of the law.
It is, in the end, something of a toss-up. Alixa Naff, donor and archivist of the Smithsonian's Naff Arab-American Collection, diplomatically told The Virginia Post that "there was no way I could literally refute Mr. Albert Doumar's statement that his uncle invented the ice-cream cone. ...It is such a simple technique that it may have occurred to other people at other places at about the same time. I have accepted Mr. Doumar's statement with that caveat."
Jeri Quinzio is the author of Ice Cream: A Cook's History of Cold Comfort, to be published this year by Brick Tower Press. She speculated in an article for The Raddiffe Culinary Times that "perhaps each one was the first, as far as he knew, to put ice cream into a cone."
The US Postal Service, which produced a stamp commemorating the 1904 fair, sidestepped the issue neatly, stating in a press release that in that year, "Americans were already enjoying ice cream, but the ice-cream cone was popularized at the fair."
No matter how you roll the zalabia, the tales are now part of American folklore, illuminated less by history than by the creative brilliance that joined two ideas from two parts of the world and made from them a national culinary icon. What could be more American than that?

TIFFANY BYNOE, Timeless Dance EP
True to her trademark tantalizing way of inviting us to her door before seducing us full throttle, multi-talented genre-transcendent (pop, R&B, gospel, jazz, dance) singer/songwriter Tiffany Bynoe finds an irresistible way to whet our whistle for her forthcoming full-length Timeless Dance album.
Her first double A side release is a six track extravaganza featuring four fresh and unique mixes of the classic O'Jays/Jackie Moore disco era hit "This Time Baby," capped with infectious dance and disco remixes of her 2018 hit "L.I.T." On the soothing and and sensual Classic Soul remix of "This Time Baby," Tiffany brings purity and emotional urgency to the Bell and James lyrics that are usually overshadowed by the deep grooving. The Soul House Radio Remix finds Tiffany vibrantly re-imagining the track for a contemporary audience used to disco thump with a more aggressive kick.
The Soulful Jazzy House mix combines the best vibes of both of the previous tracks, opening as an atmospheric romance with trippy echoing male voices complementing the backing female vocals before the dance floor rhythms heat up. As its title promises, the Soul House Extended Mix keeps the joyful, edgy disco swirl bouncing for a full seven and a half minutes. The original version of L.I.T. found her baring the depths of her inner soul with a blend of silky, heartfelt lead vocals and dreamy swirling harmonies. The Dance Mix adds fresh mid-tempo bounce and color to the track, while the Disco Mix is a true "thumpaganza" full of old school disco era production textures and booming basslines.
With this incredible can't listen just once or twice EP, Tiffany will make your heart pound, your fingers snap, your toes tap and your feet on the floor all night! No surprise that the Soulful House Mix of "This Time Baby" has already had a huge reaction in the U.S., accompanied by many offers for her to perform it live!

SO MANY GREAT PLACES TO RUN – WHERE WILL YOU GO?
Lokalizacje Bieg
To raise money for spinal cord research, you can run alone or join one of over 150 Wings for Life World Run App or race tracks. Whatever you decide, you'll race not just yourself and those around you – you'll also go against the iconic Catcher Car, a real or virtual moving finish line that chases all participants until it passes the Global Champion and ends the race.
The App Run opens up a world of possibility, of exciting and random places to run, but the big question is where will you go?
Run in the sun
For a cool day at the beach, run New Jersey's Longport or hop across the Atlantic to the UK's beautiful Salcombe coast. Or for that true shoreline experience, head for the warm temperatures and golden sand of Australia's Gold Coast App Run.
Or join Hannes Kinigadner's App Run in Ibiza. The The Spanish island's beaches and incredible sea views will give the event a real party feel, and you'll with the man whose tragic 2003 accident and spinal cord injury led to the start of the Wings for Life foundation.
Lake life
Not everyone wants a beach run, though. In the USA alone, there are over 20 App Runs passing through iconic cities – Boston, Las Vegas and New York – and around lakes, like New York's Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir and Lake Clara Meer in Atlanta.
If you're in Europe, you could go to Lake Prestvannet in Norway, famous as a spot to see the magical Northern Lights. Or travel to Fuschl or Zell am See in Austria, where they're ready to put on an incredible mountain-meets-water show for hundreds of App Runners.
Sightseeing at a run
Sydney, Australia, runs by the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, while Bulgaria's App Run takes you through Borisova Gradina, the oldest and largest park in Sofia. With its lakes, forest and beautifully tended beds, you might even forget the virtual Catcher Car is chasing you down.
Or for something completely different, get to Brisbane, Australia, to run past the closed shops of Westfield Garden City shopping mall and against the virtual Catcher Car at 9pm local time.
Running with wings
Add a physical representation of your commitment to raise funds for spinal cord research and your hope of a cure by taking on Slovakia's wing-shaped App Run.
Only the imagination limits App Runs. Join an already established run or strike out alone, like the runner who ran solo in the Arctic Circle in 2015. By downloading the Wings for Life World Run App (iOS / Android), you can be part of the global movement, wherever you are, whether you're close to home or making a running dream come true on May 6, 2018 in that one place you've always wanted to visit.


Our electricians completing inspection work are qualified to the new 17th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations and CITY & GUILDS 2391 Inspection & Testing Certification of Electrical Installations. This allows each electrician to complete and sign off their own work as well as inspect and test work completed by other electricians. In January 2005 new legislation under Part P of the Building Regulations made it a requirement that for certain types of electrical work in dwellings, garages, sheds, greenhouses and outbuildings comply with the standards. This means a competent electrician must carry out the work.
Prestige Electrical services can complete an inspection of the property and supply a certificate to confirm the safety of the electrical installation. In addition to the testing of the electrical circuits all portable electrical appliances provided by the landlord should be PAT tested in accordance with current guidelines. When completing these services for landlords the details will be added to our database so that should there be any problem in the future and you are asked to provide documentary evidence of works completed we will be able to provide copies of reports should yours be mislaid.
We are fully insured with both Public liability insurance, and professional indemnity insurance to enable us to advise on current installations.

Kampala — The army has stopped helping the Karimojong graze their livestock, saying it slows down military operations.
The UPDF 3rd Division spokesperson, Capt. Henry Obbo, said the soldiers were not deployed in Karamoja to graze animals. "Grazing animals and at the same time carrying out military operations stresses the officers," he said. Obbo explained that the Karimojong had brought cattle for protection but had abandoned them with the soldiers and children. He said the army had disbanded all protected kraals because the adults use them to deny the children education.
Obbo added that the men also left cattle with the army in order to raid animals from other communities. "We shall from now on not deploy forces in kraals but rather provide general security," he said. The move comes barely a week after suspected Karimojong warriors went on rampage, carrying out raids across the region.
Obbo said the forces would now deploy in the wilderness to intercept raided livestock. "We have moved from grazing animals to being a blocking force," he said. Commenting on the security situation in Karamoja, Obbo said it did not warrant cattle being brought to be closely guarded by the troops. However, some communities opposed the new arrangement.
Obbo said creating communal kraals around villages was an individual initiative, but urged that all animals should be in the settlements.

Special Economic Zones and Export-led Growth: An Industrial Policy Imperative
A Flowchart Approach to Industrial Hubs
This chapter describes and analyses economic development planning in special economic zones (SEZs) since the end of World War II. The focus is on changing ideas about zone set-ups and the industrial ventures targeted for relocations to the zones. Using material from several years of global ethnographic and archival research in dozens of zones and national and international archives, the chapter reviews SEZ set-ups from the world's first SEZ in late 1940s Puerto Rico via the Shannon Zone in Ireland in late 1950s and 1960s Asian SEZs to the 1970s' consolidation of the concept that culminated in the opening of the first zones in the People's Republic of China (PRC). The changing geopolitical economy from the Cold War to the neoliberal world order, related changes in economic development policies, and the social and economic realities of super-exploitative and sexist labour regimes in SEZs are the main variables considered in the analysis.
