Puckett's Boat House Adds Wine Bar & Cigar Patio to Restaurant's Riverside
Our own Puckett's Boat House is adding a wine bar to its riverside in downtown Franklin, transforming the "Bait Shop" into a space that offers an extensive list of hard-to-find wines and high-end boutique spirits.
We hope y'all will join us this Wednesday, May 21 as the Boat House Wine Bar officially opens its doors to the public with a grand opening event from 6-8 p.m. that includes half-off all wine.
The Boat House Wine Bar exudes an authentic French Quarter café experience, incorporating a rustic dark wood bar, black and white classic hex tile floors, and vintage Creole-themed décor to set a more mysterious ambiance than its neighboring seafood eatery. The terrace, overlooking the Harpeth River, will serve as a cigar patio and lounge.
In addition to gourmet coffee and sweet treats, the newly renovated space will host humidors stacked with cigars and exposed wine cabinets that allow guests to peruse rare blends from the world's most notable wine regions. With a focus on unique varietals and blends, Beverage Director Jon Yeager carefully selected a wide-ranging list of wines and spirits that includes labels not seen anywhere else on Nashville or Franklin menus. Organized by weight and mouth-feel, the wine menu is designed to guide the customer by their taste buds, rather than preconceived notions.
"We wanted to give Downtown Franklin another unique experience, to introduce some new things to our customers," Yeager said. "Our hope is to engage them through their palates. We want to take the pressure off of how much you know—or don't know—about wine, and focus on intriguing guests through flavors and tastes.
"Everyone knows what pinot grigio is and deservingly so, but there are plenty of other styles of light white wines, and that's what we want to introduce people to. It's about exploration too: we hope people leave the Wine Bar not only having had an enjoyable experience, but feeling like discovered something new."
Yeager says one of his favorite wines on the new menu is from the txakolina (pronounced choco-lina), a grape popular in culinary trendsetting cities such as Charleston.
"This wine is refreshing, crisp, light and perfect for humid summer days," he said. "It's a buzz word in Charleston, which is a city I look to as being a taste-maker and staying ahead of the wine and spirits trends. They have festivals devoted to this one particular kind of wine! The Wine Bar will be the first to carry it around here, as far as I know."
Another wine that is sure to be a crowd favorite, and will make for a first-time experience, is the Barista—a red wine with a hint of espresso. The restaurant will also carry the kiralyudvar (pronounced Kee-RYE-oohd-var), which Yeager compares to an un-oaked chardonnay.
"We based this menu solely on what other restaurants don't have," Yeager said. "Nashville isn't particularly known as a wine town, so it's our hope that we can help grow and cultivate that culture here in Franklin. I'm excited to introduce people to new flavors and names, and to make this place a culinary leader in wine."
Many locals will be happy to find a selection of cigars sold at the Wine Bar, as well as a handful of high-end spirits that Yeager says customers can enjoy with their cigars.
And to ensure that those sensitive to cigar smoke will not be affected during their dining and sipping experiences, the restaurant has created a designated outside area that doesn't allow smoke to waft into the dining rooms. The Boat House outdoor patio on the corner of East Main Street and Bridge Street will remain smoke free.
Puckett's Boat House is open Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. To learn more, go to www.puckettsboathouse.com.

Without a Trace of Partiality
Home♦Without a Trace of Partiality
Preacher: Reverend Dr. William A. Evertsberg
Passage: Luke 4:14–30
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free. —Luke 4:18
Sometimes when you've been away from home for a long time–at college, or in your first job in Denver or Dallas, or raising your own young family in Portland–all you want to do is to get back home–at Thanksgiving, or Christmas, or to that place by the lake where you spent every childhood summer.
But coming home isn't always all it's cracked up to be. I was thinking about Jim Harbaugh coming back to his old home town in Ann Arbor and his alma mater at Michigan, after almost 30 years away in Chicago and California, and no sooner does he get there than he has to watch the National Championship game to discover that his arch rival's third string quarterback–third string–is better than any quarterback Michigan has ever had since Tom Brady 14 years ago. This is Ohio State; this is the team he has to beat; this is the team that if he doesn't beat, he'll get fired–again. Third string. Sometimes you have mixed feelings about coming home.
Same with Jesus. Jesus comes home to Nazareth after a long absence. I don't know how long he'd been away, but Luke gives the impression that he'd spent his young adulthood in Judea, the environs of Jerusalem, 100 miles south of Galilee.
And then he yearns for home. And when he gets there Mother Mary convinces him to preach a sermon at the local synagogue where he'd been raised and schooled, where he learned Hebrew and the 23rd Psalm and the books of the Bible in order like our own third-graders.
The rabbi at the synagogue hands him a scroll from the prophet Isaiah, and Jesus rolls it out till he finds what he's looking for, chapter 61, verse 1: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because God has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. God has sent me to proclaim release for the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
And then Jesus wraps the whole seditious sermon up by saying, with alarming chutzpah, "Today, right here, right now, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing." And then he sits down, to the amazement of all.
Maybe he did it on purpose, or maybe he had no idea how this sermon would impact the schoolteachers and neighbors who'd taught him since he was a little boy in short pants. You know how when you're young and pre-establishment, you're sometimes blissfully ignorant about how your new ideas are going to sound to the old establishment. But whatever his intention, he succeeds in making the congregation mad as hell, so mad they try to throw him off a cliff.
One of the reasons they're so mad is the way he ended his sermon: "Today, right here, right now, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing," he says after reading a beloved, 600-year-old messianic promise from the prophet Isaiah. Right here, right now, in my person, this messianic promise has been fulfilled. That's a comment that is beyond brazen and well on its way to blasphemous.
But another reason he made them so mad is because he declared in no uncertain terms and with transparent purpose whose side he intends to be on. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me to preach good news to the poor, recovery of sight to the blind, release for the captives, liberty for the oppressed."
In other words Jesus declares that he is going to be on the side of everybody who is not there in that Nazareth synagogue to hear that sermon. The poor, the prisoner, and the oppressed aren't there. You know who's there? Shopkeeps, bread-bakers, vintners, carpenters, schoolteachers, whatever passed for rich tycoons in first-century Nazareth, the same kind of folk who are here this morning: respectable, hard-working, middle-class folk. Jesus says that he intends to be on the side of people who are always on the edges of polite society, in the shadows, the unwanted, sometimes the troublemakers.
I thought it would be a good story for us to hear on this holiday weekend when America is being roiled by a stubborn racial divide that just won't go away 150 years after the end of the Civil War. Some of us are horrified by a war on cops personified by riots in Ferguson and the assassination of two policemen in New York City.
Others of us are equally horrified that unarmed black men keep getting killed in Ferguson, Cleveland, Staten Island, and Florida. But wherever you stand on this issue, it's clear that we have a racial problem.
In 1992, a 23-year-old black man wrote, "In the jewelry store, they lock the case when I walk in. In the shoe store, they help the white man who walks in after me. In the shopping mall, they follow me."
This young black man had recently graduated from Stanford University, where he was president of the senior class, and had just been named a Rhodes Scholar, and would soon matriculate and then graduate from Yale University Law School. His name is Corey Booker, and today he is the junior United States Senator from New Jersey.[1]
In what might be the most practical and commonsense book of the New Testament, St. James writes, "The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality."
What James means to say, I think, is that worldly wisdom has its place in our lives, but it is not enough. We do the best we can under our own very human intelligences, but it does not lead to that harvest of righteousness we all strive toward. We need the wisdom from above. We need a wisdom which comes from God. That wisdom is pure, peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, and without a trace of partiality.
I love the way James puts it: without a trace of partiality. Partiality is endemic to human nature. A long evolutionary process of the survival of the fittest has built into human nature a suspicion of the other and the different, and so we are partial for what we know; we are partial for what is familiar; we are partial to those we love; we are partial to those who look like us and sound like us and dress like us.
The wisdom that comes from God, on the other hand, is blind to the superficial differences that mark and bless the polychromatic, polyglot, double-gendered motley of the human family, things like gender and race and skin color and ethnicity and strange tongues and different dress and sexual orientation.
Or, if the wisdom that comes from above, this wisdom that is without a trace of partiality, is not quite colorblind, it will notice those shallow, surface differences like gender and skin color only when those distinctions are joys and blessings to us.
Without a trace of partiality, we might notice these superficial differences when we read a book only a woman could write, or hear a symphony that only a German could compose, or listen to a song only a black man could rap, or appreciate a painting only a Dutchman could draw, or wear a dress only a Frenchwoman could design, or witness an act of piety only a Muslim could make, or watch an opera only an Italian could stage, or admire a family only a gay couple could raise, or hear a story only an autistic boy could tell.
You know why the wisdom that comes from God is without a trace of partiality? It's because God was the one who first dreamed up this whole sprawling menagerie in all its speckled, dappled, brindled glory, and threw it across the global stage in the first place, with rambunctious mirth, a triumphant fist pump, and a cosmic cry of "Wow, that's really, really good!"
This coming March 7 is the 50th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery protest march that led directly to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. One meaningful way to celebrate Martin Luther King Day this year is by seeing Ava DuVernay's fine film Selma. It will remind you of how far America has come in 50 years, and how far we still need to go.
British actor David Oyelowo is gathering critical praise–if not, famously, an Oscar nomination–for his portrayal of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Strangely though, Dr. King is not the hero of this film, and he is only one of many heroes at the original Selma March. Until I saw the film, I'd forgotten that there were actually three marches from Selma to Montgomery in March of 1965; the first two failed and only the third finally reached its destination. Dr. King wasn't even there for the first protest on March 7; the most horrible one; the one Sheriff Jim Clark stopped on the Edmund Pettus Bridge with nightsticks, tear gas, and bullwhips; the one that made it on to the front page of most American newspapers and into the evening news on every television set in America.
For me, the most memorable character in the film is John Lewis of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. When the actor playing John Lewis first appears on screen in the movie Selma, my wife goes "Whoa!" I said, "Excuse me, I'm right here!" She said, "He's gorgeous. So maybe that alone is worth the price of admission. I don't know.
John Lewis was a Baptist preacher. John Lewis was 25 years old. He had his skull cracked open on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, but it wasn't the first time; he'd been beaten and jailed many times during the freedom rides and sit-ins of the early 60's.
John Lewis grew up in Pike County, Alabama—the Jim Crow South. His parents picked cotton, peanuts, and corn; the children left school at harvest time to join them. Their small house had no electricity or running water.
When John Lewis began to hear a call to the ministry, he started visiting the henhouse out back to preach to the Rhode Island Reds. John Lewis baptized new chicks; he raised and fed them; he conducted their funerals, burying the dead under a mound of wild-flowers. John Lewis has been the U. S. Congressman from Georgia's Fifth District since 1987.
At the Washington Mall during President Obama's first inauguration in 2009, a young African-American introduced himself to the Reverend Lewis as the police chief of Rock Hill, South Carolina. "Imagine that," Mr. Lewis said. "I was beaten near to death at the Rock Hill Greyhound bus terminal during the Freedom Rides in 1961. Now the police chief is black." Glory, glory, hallelujah!
After the swearing-in ceremony at the 2009 inauguration, Mr. Lewis approached President Obama with a commemorative photograph and asked him to sign it. The President wrote, "Because of you, John. Barack Obama."[2] It all started with a preacher on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama.
Selma tells us we've come a long way in 50 years. Ferguson tells us that we have a long way yet to travel.
The wisdom from above is without a trace of partiality. Martin Luther King once said,"We may all have come to America on different ships, but we're all in the same boat now." Yes? We came on different ships, but we're all in the same boat now.
Some of us sailed here from England on the Mayflower; others from West Africa on slave ships. Some of us came here on clipper ships from barren potato fields in Ireland, and others on steamships from cramped and impoverished Europe. Some of us came here fleeing the Jewish pogroms of Russia and Poland. Some of us arrived here on ocean-liners which docked first at Ellis Island, where they changed our name from Novawitski to Novak. Others deplaned from DC-10's at JFK from Beirut or Bombay or Baghdad or Islamabad or Istanbul. Some of us crossed the Gulf of Mexico to Miami from Cuba in 16-foot skiffs. Some of us came here on giant military transport planes from Vietnam. Some of us crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico in inflatable rafts. Some of us flew first class on a 747 from Beijing or Tokyo to a six-figure job at Pfizer because we had a Ph.D. in chemical engineering.
We may all have arrived on different ships, but we're in the same boat now. Therefore, the only way forward is to strive for the wisdom from above, which is without a trace of partiality.

Fit for purpose? The Facilitation Directive and the criminalisation of humanitarian assistance to irregular migrants: 2018 update

This study, commissioned by the European Parliament's Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the PETI Committee, aims to update the 2016 study "Fit for purpose? The Facilitation Directive and the criminalisation of humanitarian assistance to irregular migrants". It takes stock of and examines the latest developments that have taken place since 2016, specifically the legislative and policy changes, along with various forms and cases of criminalisation of humanitarian actors, migrants' family members and basic service providers. The study uses the notion of 'policing humanitarianism' to describe not only cases of formal prosecution and sentencing in criminal justice procedures, but also wider dynamics of suspicion, intimidation, harassment and disciplining in five selected Member States – Belgium, France, Greece, Hungary and Italy. Policing humanitarianism negatively affects EU citizens' rights – such as the freedom of assembly, freedom of speech and freedom of conscience. When civil society is effectively (self-)silenced and its accountability role undermined, policies to combat migrant smuggling may be overused and give rise to serious breaches of the EU's founding values, notably the rule of law, democracy and fundamental rights. Moreover, policing humanitarianism negatively affects wider societal trust and diverts the limited resources of law enforcement from investigating more serious crimes.

Mutual recognition of freezing and confiscation orders
In order to respond more effectively to the challenge of criminals and terrorists hiding assets in other Member States, in 2016 the European Commission proposed a regulation on the mutual recognition of freezing and confiscation orders in criminal matters. The directly applicable instrument removes the need for national transposition, broadens the scope of the current rules to cover new types of confiscation and includes provisions on victims' rights to restitution and compensation. In June 2018, ...
In order to respond more effectively to the challenge of criminals and terrorists hiding assets in other Member States, in 2016 the European Commission proposed a regulation on the mutual recognition of freezing and confiscation orders in criminal matters. The directly applicable instrument removes the need for national transposition, broadens the scope of the current rules to cover new types of confiscation and includes provisions on victims' rights to restitution and compensation. In June 2018, provisional agreement was reached in interinstitutional negotiations and the European Parliament voted the agreed text on 4 October 2018. The Council followed suit on 6 November 2018. The final act was signed on 14 November and published in the Official Journal of the EU on 28 November 2018. The regulation will apply 24 months after its entry into force, namely from 19 December 2020. Second edition. The 'EU Legislation in Progress' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the legislative procedure.

The IA for the proposed regulation has a number of weaknesses that could be attributed to political urgency and the need for EU action in the area of freezing and confiscation of criminal assets, notably since the recent terrorist attacks in France, Belgium and Germany.

In the context of the IA, no public consultation took place and no ex-post evaluation of existing mutual recognition instruments was carried out ...
The IA for the proposed regulation has a number of weaknesses that could be attributed to political urgency and the need for EU action in the area of freezing and confiscation of criminal assets, notably since the recent terrorist attacks in France, Belgium and Germany. Overall, the IA lacks sound data and this is openly recognised throughout the document. In the context of the IA, no public consultation took place and no ex-post evaluation of existing mutual recognition instruments was carried out. The IA does not explain clearly how addressing the deficiencies in the existing EU legislation and its implementation would increase recovery of criminal assets in cross-border cases, as there is a general lack of data in this policy context. As for the options proposed, the IA could perhaps have clarified why sub-options 4a and 4b were discussed jointly, whereas option 3 was presented as a stand-alone option. In addition to this, the regulatory options could have been checked in the light of the principle of subsidiarity. The IA could have explained in more detail what it means by 'harmonised grounds for non-recognition based on fundamental rights', which seem not to have been included in articles 9 and 18 of the proposal. In general, the choice of legal instrument is left outside the scope of the impact analysis and the choice in favour of a regulation seems rather pre-determined. The IA could have addressed the impact of adopting a regulation on those 12 Member States that currently have more restrictive approaches to confiscation. Finally, it could have stated whether stakeholders were consulted on the choice of instrument, and how the preferred option accommodates the divergent views of the stakeholders on the issue of mutual recognition as an alternative to further harmonisation.

The Economic, Financial & Social Impacts of Organised Crime in the EU
The aim of the study is to generate a best estimate for the economic, financial and social costs of organised crime in and against the EU and to inform an evidence-based understanding of the associated issues. As so much uncertainty and known intra-EU and inter-crime variation exist, the study refrains from trying to create an aggregate figure for the costs of organised crime and responses to it in the EU as a whole and, instead, where possible, produces estimates for selected offenses.

The study underlines that measuring the costs of organised crime is still at an early stage of development and that there is a clear need for more cross-border data matching and investigation in order to improve the quality of the evidence basis for European law enforcement agencies and their effectiveness in fighting organised crime.

Rights and protection for victims of crime
According to the EU Treaties and the Stockholm programme, criminal law should focus not only on repression, but special attention should also be paid to victims in the area of freedom, security and justice. While protection measures exist in specific cases, a May 2011 Commission proposal would extend protection to cover all types of crimes and victims.

"The pandemic has in some ways slowed down or altered our perception of time and afforded me precious moments to reexperience the beauty and profound history of my country."—Sir David Adjaye With so many of us now months into COVID-19 lockdown, the AD staff agreed it was time to show our readers what work from home means for the illustrious creative class known as the AD100. We asked several of these treasured talents to share with us for this issue personal images alongside their thoughts both practical and profound. They spoke about discovering a renewed appreciation for nature; enjoying the luxury of extra time with their children, or perhaps hiding from them while taking Zoom calls in the bathtub; slowing down and savoring small pleasures such as cooking and meals; expanding…
At the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild exhibition in 1947, Holger Hansen, son of cabinetmaker Carl Hansen, met Hans Wegner, a young designer making radical new furnishings: sleek forms inspired by the minimal designs of China's Ming dynasty. Hansen's family-run company, hoping to segue into serial manufacturing, took a chance on the young Dane two years later, putting five of his pieces into production by 1950. The firm still makes all of them today. One chair, which some say was commissioned to compete with the ubiquitous Thonet café chair, became a fan favorite: the CH24, a.k.a. the Wishbone Chair (from $765 at Design Within Reach). With an ultra-simple hardwood silhouette that eliminated all nonessential material and a seat made from paper, spun to look like a rope (a Swedish invention during wartime, when…
Reinaldo Leandro and Patrick McGrath weren't looking for a weekend home when they spotted a for sale sign outside a shingled cottage in the quaint Hamptons hamlet the Springs. But given their shared line of work, how could the Manhattan couple resist a peek? Though the land itself was modest, "the house felt tucked-in and private," recalls Leandro, an architect and cofounder of the AD100 firm Ashe Leandro. The residence had a 1930s look and feel, with excellent attention to detail, even though it had been built in 2000. "So there was central air," notes McGrath, principal of his own design studio. They quickly purchased the property and set about renovating. As Leandro explains: "We're both in the field, so we make decisions fast." Small, considered changes, as the duo knows…

Six years ago, after independently moving to Los Angeles from Uruguay, industrial designer Emiliana Gonzalez and artist Jessie Young struck up a friendship. "We were both here, both immigrants, and both desperate to do something new," recalls Young. So when Gonzalez landed an interior design gig, she invited Young to help. Working under the moniker Estudio Persona—it means the study of a person, they explain, and nods to their favorite Ingmar Bergman film—they quickly realized that designing custom furniture was their favorite part of the job. By 2017, they launched a collection of pieces Gonzalez describes as "clean and non-accessorized, almost like cutouts." Whereas their Nido series pairs swooping seats with wood bases, their Block chair riffs on the chunky sculpture of Carl Andre. "We played around with modular blocks…
British photographer and set designer Cecil Beaton prided himself on being au courant, but when it came to his country place, Reddish House in Wiltshire, he was as Edwardian as anyone born in 1904 could be. So was the romantic, bamboo-paneled winter garden, created with decorator Felix Harbord, that Beaton added in 1955. "English Baroque proportions, a stone floor in 18th-century French style, Gothic windows that are very Strawberry Hill, and a central fountain that follows the Islamic concept of paradise," Alexander Hoyle, cult London plantsman, observes of the winter garden, which was featured in AD's fall 1969 issue. "The combination of elements firmly sets it in an Edwardian Revival idiom." Given the roughly 20-foot-square footprint, "there was precious little space for growing plants," he notes of the room, furnished…

Q: what is the difference between .h and .H head file in C++? what is the difference between .h and .H head file in C++? when I use OpenFOAM which is a Computational Fluid Dynamics open source software developed by C++, I find it's head file name are .H rather than tranditional form .h, Why?

A: For C++, there is no difference at all.
Apparently, the authors of OpenFOAM just liked .H more than .h
Still, there is something to pay attention to: If you're programming for Unix-like systems (Linux...), file names are case sensitive, so with the wrong name, the file won't be found (=> compiler error).

A: At the end of the day it doesn't matter for compilers of Windows environment. If you are in an environment where the file name are case sensitive like Ubuntu or other Linux based system then it really matters because of case sensitivity of the file system.
But most often you use the compiler supplied header files and some times you can make your own header files, in the latter case whatever name you give to your header file you have to reference the same in your program and if you are working in Linux environment then you have to be aware of the case sensitivity otherwise in Windows you just give the name of your header file with proper extension where you are referencing it.

For the construction of jewellery for sale, Inuit peoples have sustainably harvested the ivory of walruses, narwhals, and even musk oxen for millennia. Baleen, stone, teeth and bones have similarly been popular materials. In the last couple decades, contemporary artists have also mastered the use of precious metals, silver being a notable favourite. While diverse in iconography and form, many Inuit jewellers are known for employing smooth surfaces, crisp lines and restrained palettes to achieve a marked simplicity and elegance.

FDA Recommends Abeona's EB-101 Gene Therapy to Advance Toward Phase 3 Trial
by Alice Melao
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently recommended Abeona Therapeutics accelerate the clinical development program of its gene therapy candidate EB-101 for the treatment of patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), also known as "butterfly skin" syndrome.
With the recommendation, which came in a recent Type-C meeting with the agency, Abeona is planning a pivotal Phase 3 trial that is expected to get underway early in 2018.
"The FDA guidance is an important milestone in our clinical development plan for EB-101, and we are pleased to be moving forward into a registrational Phase 3 clinical study in 2018," Timothy J. Miller, PhD, president and CEO of Abeona Therapeutics, said in a press release.
"We are grateful that the FDA has recognized EB-101 as a rare disease product that addresses the underlying disease pathology to offer significant therapeutic benefit for RDEB patients, and we look forward to the collective work ahead in advancing this therapy," Miller added.
Individuals with RDEB lack functional type VII collagen (C7) in their skin due to mutations in the COL7A1 gene. Collagen C7 is one of the components responsible for the maintenance of different layers of skin attached to each other.
Abeona's EB-101 is an investigational gene therapy that was engineered to specifically deliver the correct form of the COL7A1 gene to patients' skin cells. The new gene will trigger the production of the missing collagen C7 protein and help heal the damaged skin.
In collaboration with Stanford University scientists, Abeona is currently conducting a Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT01263379) to evaluate EB-101's safety and effectiveness to treat chronic non-healing wounds in RDEB patients.
So far, the results of the trial have demonstrated the therapeutic potential of EB-101. Wounds treated with the EB-101 therapy candidate have shown greater healing improvement (more than 50 percent), and EB-101's healing effect was found to be sustained for up to 24 months in about 88 percent of the cases.
EB-101 is the first therapy achieving such positive results in a disease with no approved treatments.
According to the results of a study by Stanford and the EBCare Registry, EB-101 is superior to other wound healing therapies such as Organogenesis' Apligraf, which is approved to treat diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers, and Dermagraft, which is FDA-approved to treat diabetic foot ulcers.
Allograft products including Apligraf and Dermagraft managed to treat 7 percent of the wounds of 13 RDEB patients with 15 chronic wounds in a 12-week study, and none remained healed after 24 weeks.
"EB Research Partnership (EBRP), along with EB Medical Research Foundation, are honored to have helped support EB-101 development by the dedicated researchers at Stanford University. Their tireless efforts in combination with Abeona's leadership is driving real progress in the RDEB patient community," said Alexander Silver, co-founder and chairman EB Research Partnership.
"EBRP is encouraged by clinical results to date and looks forward to realizing the promise of EB-101 in addressing the devastating effects on RDEB patients' quality of life and disease burden," Silver added.
EB-101 was granted orphan drug status and rare pediatric disease designation from the FDA, and orphan drug status from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the European Union.

Home Latest News Why is LEGO so expensive?
StepanPopov/Shutterstock.com
LEGO is one of the most popular toys of all time. Chances are you had a set as a kid and maybe even have a few bricks laying around as an adult. It's a simple system that offers an almost unlimited number of possibilities, but there is a downside: LEGO is quite expensive.
That popularity hasn't waned, even though LEGO has a higher price tag than similar systems like Mattel's Mega Bloks. On average, retailers around the world sell seven LEGO sets every second, and they sell enough bricks a year to circumnavigate the world five times.
There's also some logic behind the price tag. While part of that is profit margin, there's more to a LEGO brick than you realize. Factors related to the stone itself, the environment, and the characters that wander around in your creations all come into play.
Let's take an in-depth look at why your LEGO bricks can cost mega bucks.
Big brands have a premium
Quality has its price
The stones are still developing
Licensing drives up costs
It's cheaper than before
James Copeland/Shutterstock.com
As we mentioned before, LEGO is one of the most popular toys out there and the most popular construction toy – a category that includes but is not limited to LEGO clones. Being popular and having a good reputation allows companies to charge a premium. Just as a Nike or Levi's logo can make a piece of clothing more expensive, the word LEGO stamped on a plastic brick will drive up the price.
The LEGO brand has even grown beyond the brick. Both video games and films featuring original LEGO characters or established characters with a LEGO twist have performed well on the charts and at the box office in recent years, as have collaborations with fashion brands. While the storylines and gameplay features offered were interesting enough on their own, the venture demonstrates the appeal of the LEGO brand as a whole.
LEGO manufactures its products from different types of plastic. The company makes standard bricks from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) – a hard, durable plastic well suited to the brick's needs. ABS produces a durable toy, and the plastic works with the injection molding process LEGO uses to make these bricks.
3d_kot/Shuttertstock.com
Other materials used are high impact polystyrene for the base plates, polypropylene for the accessories and thermoplastic polyester for the transparent parts. The company lists 12 types of plastic currently used in its range.
The machines that make the bricks have tolerances of just 10 microns (0.01m). These tight tolerances ensure a snug fit and a stable connection between two stones. Although other brands design their products to "fit" LEGO sets, they probably won't fit as well due to the tighter tolerances and high standards of LEGO sets.
TIED TOGETHERThis cool video from LEGO shows us how minifigures are made
Also, the plastic used may not be of the same quality. Growing up I had LEGO sets along with alternative sets from other manufacturers. I distinctly remember that the plastic on the off-brand sets looked and felt cheaper than that of the actual LEGO bricks.
szmuli/Shutterstock.com
Research costs money and LEGO is constantly developing new products. LEGO releases an average of over 850 sets a year. According to the company's 2020 Annual Report, new products account for 55% of the portfolio each year. Each of these products required research, testing and, in some cases, the development of specific machine parts before it could reach the market. The report also states that LEGO spends over $138 million a year on research and development.
The company isn't just focused on developing new sets; LEGO is even redesigning the bricks themselves. LEGO has developed an environmental focus after acknowledging that a high percentage of the billions of LEGO bricks in existence will still be around hundreds of years from now. Since then, the company has developed bricks made from sustainable materials like sugar cane and bricks made from recycled plastic bottles, and has committed to phasing out single-use plastic packaging by 2025.
LEGO has also pledged to invest over $400 million over three years in its Learning Through Play initiative to reduce carbon emissions and replace plastic packaging paper .
mini_citizens/shutterstock.com
If your urge to build things overlaps with your passion for something like Star Wars or Harry Potter, chances are you've stumbled upon a licensed LEGO set at some point. The Danish toy company has acquired the rights to produce sets based on several film and TV franchises over the years and these rights do not come free.
The exact numbers for each license agreement vary, but likely include a flat fee and a royalty for each licensed set sold. In 2020, LEGO spent around $500 million on "license and royalties". LEGO doesn't take these expenses head on; You pass the cost on to the consumer.
Brick Insights
Although parts of the company's main "System" line appear to cost a small fortune, they cost a fraction of their 1970s prices. Other parts, like LEGO minifigs, cost about half what they cost in the 1960s, despite a price spike in recent years.
More expensive sets are available, some costing several hundred dollars. However, these sets contain thousands of individual parts. The LEGO Millennium Falcon set is one of the pricier on the market, costing just under $800 new. The set contains a whopping 7541 pieces, so you're paying 10.6 cents a piece despite this being an intricately designed and licensed set. While relatively new, the huge, expensive sets make up just a small fraction of the 850+ LEGO releases each year. The average price of a set has also fallen over time.
So here we are. There's a lot packed into a LEGO brick, from materials to brand licensing. The manufacturers have nevertheless managed to lower the price despite the massive increase in variety, to acquire all kinds of licenses, to further develop their brands and to maintain quality standards. They also seem to be doing their part to improve the environment and the lives of disadvantaged people.
Yes, LEGO is expensive, but when you look at where the money is going, it's worth it.

Wild Arabs and Savages: A History of Juvenile Justice in Ireland
by Paul Sargent
This book is the first history of the Irish juvenile justice system. It charts the emergence of the system from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. From the beginning, the system was dominated by a large network of reformatory and industrial schools which incarcerated tens of thousands of children and remained in existence into the late twentieth century. This dominance was eventually challenged by emerging discourses which emanated from the psychological sciences, social work, youth work and the children's rights ... Read More
This book is the first history of the Irish juvenile justice system. It charts the emergence of the system from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. From the beginning, the system was dominated by a large network of reformatory and industrial schools which incarcerated tens of thousands of children and remained in existence into the late twentieth century. This dominance was eventually challenged by emerging discourses which emanated from the psychological sciences, social work, youth work and the children's rights movement. The book draws from a wide range of official and unofficial sources in exploring the key rationalities underpinning the system. In adopting a governmentality approach, it also examines the technologies and forms of childhood identity that are employed to govern the child and young person within the context of the Irish juvenile justice system. This unique and original approach will appeal to legal scholars, criminologists and those with an interest in juvenile justice, history and social policy. -- . Read Less

Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur from TWiT-TV have started their first live interactive podcast net@nite (http://www.natn.tv). This is replacing their 'Inside the Net' podcast. The first episode, on November 5, 2006, included over 500 live participants, who interacted via telephone, Skype, VoIP, chat, and streaming. The show also included Steve Chen of YouTube. The show will be hosted on http://www.talkshoe.com every Sunday night at 9:00 pm.
TalkShoe (http://www.talkshoe.com) will now be hosting a new live interactive podcast by Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur from TWiT-TV called net@nite (http://www.natn.tv). The first episode was on November 5, 2006. Leo has been quoted as calling this interactive format "Podcasting 2.0." Over 500 people joined the first live show, by far the largest live interactive podcast ever. The first show also included Steven Chen, YouTube's founder who was telephoned, and brought into the live podcast by Amber. People participated via telephone, text-chat, Skype, VoIP, and streaming audio to their computer. TalkShoe provided the technology for this event, and a recorded podcast is available its website.
"Amber and I are proud to announce the first live TWiTcast. We're reinventing Inside the Net, and renaming it net@nite. You'll still be able to listen to the show as a podcast every Tuesday, but you can also listen live as we record it Sunday nights (9:00 P.M. ET on TalkShoe). Even better, you can participate," said Leo Laporte on the net@nite blog.
"Leo and Amber are once again pioneers by using interactive podcasting," commented Dave Nelsen, TalkShoe's CEO and founder. "Leo Laporte's use of our system is a testament to TalkShoe's new and groundbreaking technology."
"I have just two words to describe this new era of netcasting. Fun and entertaining," commented a live show listener.
Using TalkShoe's technology, anyone can host live interactive podcasts -- which TalkShoe calls Talkcasts. The live podcasts provide a rich environment where people can listen-in (stream), text chat, or participate via voice on the telephone or with VoIP. The host is in control with features such as see-who's-talking, muting, censoring chat, and queue call management. The unique technology uses a mixture of telephony, conference bridging, Internet streaming, and text-chatting.
TalkShoe is located near Pittsburgh and can be reached at 724-935-TALK or by email at info @ talkshoe.com.
