The Institute of Consultative Bioethics (ICBioethics) is a provider of comprehensive knowledge delivery software and consulting services that support health care, government, and other highly regulated industries. Dr. Kathy Gennuso and her husband Rich Gennuso formed ICBioethics in response to the lack of suitable, easy-to-use bioethics training resources available in the marketplace. ICBioethics' uniquely designed software product EthAssist® simplifies knowledge delivery and training for any organization who has students or staff affected by healthcare issues and regulations.
Founded in mid-2012, ICBioethics is uniquely focused on moving organizations beyond basic practice and compliance — by creating and maintaining systems that are responsive, controllable, sustainable, and sound — and by supporting staff growth, development, and ethics or compliance related decision-making effectiveness. While intent on serving clients, ICBioethics never loses sight of keeping ethics firmly rooted in the core values of its own organization, affirmed recently as they received the 15th Annual Pittsburgh Business Ethics Award.
We, at ICBioethics, possess and deliver highly credentialed expertise in ethics specifically tailored to preparing, training, or retraining professionals in health care and related industries. Not only do we provide teaching and training related to ethical actions and accountabilities, we also develop and implement business practices, policies, processes, and systems to ensure their incorporation into the day-to-day workflow and patient care.
Our core ethics offerings are surrounded by the support and guidance of seasoned business professionals with leadership experience in organizational and healthcare ethics, IT, systems, organizational and project management, research, planning, and organizational culture transformation. This team has created a unique operational model to produce positive change, sustainability, and success for our clients such as Sentara Health System, Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System, Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) and VITAS Healthcare.
Ethics refers to the set of formal and informal rules that guide behavior in societies and organizations. Although humans the world over embrace similar values, interpretation and rank order of good versus bad can vary widely by individual, culture, and situation. That's why communities enact laws, and workplaces adopt policies and standards.
For organizations of 100 or more employees, defined processes for managing and reporting training and compliance are essential risk management measures. However, few organizations have internal resources for designing effective training programs, and even fewer have the expertise to develop state-of-art technology tools to guide employee behavior and decision making in complex, highly regulated environments.
EthAssist provides customized solutions that integrate pre-loaded, peer-reviewed content and modules with your learning assets, policies, and regulatory requirements. Our software/service is backed by a professional team of management, technology, ethics, operations, service, and compliance advisors who can quickly and seamlessly implement best-in-class learning and development tools for compatibility with your systems and operating needs.

As a doctoral candidate in bioethics at Duquesne University a few years ago, I watched in dismay as doctors, nurses, and caregivers faced daily moral dilemmas during clinical rounds. In complex, fast-paced environments, well-intentioned professionals were basing decisions on instincts rather than policies. The unintended consequences included fines, litigation, and negative publicity for organizations that were striving to contain costs and comply with regulations. With over 30 years of experience as an IT project manager and strategic consultant, I viewed these daily challenges as mission-critical training, development, and compliance problems that could be solved with technology.
I assembled a world-class team, and we created a user-friendly, flexible platform to get accurate information to employees who need it, when they need it, and how they need it. EthAssist was designed to empower employees at all levels to make the best possible on-the-job decisions.
As the system architect, my focus is on designing tools and processes that address your management and operating needs while making it easy for your users to improve their job performance. Through four decades of information technology and business management experience with GlaxoSmithKline, the Elliott division of United Technologies, and Consolidation Coal, I have orchestrated systems integration during mergers and acquisitions, managed multi-million dollar IT operations, and delivered innovative solutions for a wide range of business challenges. I understand the patchwork of legacy systems that inhibit adoption of new technologies, and I designed EthAssist to interface easily and quickly with any system or operating platform. Our overarching goals are human-centered design and tangible benefits for clients.
Based in Melbourne (Australia), Eric Manuel Torres, is a bioethicist with several qualifications in both health care and theology. Eric believes that a solid bioethical training is essential for all health care professionals, and is thus passionate about teaching bioethics to researchers, practitioners and health care students.
Holding a Bachelor of Health Sciences and a Master of Orthoptics, both from La Trobe University, in addition to a Master of Nursing Science from the University of Melbourne, Eric is a registered nurse and orthoptist. Hence, he understands the needs and challenges facing health care practitioners. Furthermore, he holds a Graduate Diploma of Theology, specalizing in moral theology and health care ethics, and a Master of Theological Studies with research, both from Catholic Theological College/University of Divinity. His research focused on curing and healing within Catholic health care.

Dillian Whyte on his new trainer; He doesn't say a lot
Dillian Whyte has chosen a new trainer: Buddy McGirt. Whyte explained his trainer's presence and what he likes about him. "Me and Buddy are cool. Buddy is a cool guy. We have a laugh, and we have a joke. Buddy is an interesting guy," said Whyte, as quoted by worldboxingnews.net "He tries to teach you and doesn't change your style.
He learns your style and puts little things in your style to help make you better as a person. Buddy asks what style you like, what punches you like, and what fighters you like watching, and then he has a look at you. He doesn't say a lot.
He gets on to you about the same things over and over again. It's a bit of a ball-ache sometimes, but it's good – you know what I mean? I've never really had a teacher. I've had good coaches – very good coaches – but there's a difference between a coach and a teacher.
Buddy is a coach and a trainer, but he's a teacher too. He teaches you little things. What he does is good, and it's really interesting. Because I'm a fighter where I'm strong and fit, physical, and I look to be rough – I can punch.
A lot of coaches work on that. But Buddy does things differently. He says you don't need to chop the house down with one punch all the time".
Dillian Whyte vs Anthony Joshua
Journalists were interested in Whyte's opinion regarding the Anthony Joshua rematch that could happen.
Whyte is currently focused on some other things. "I don't care about the Anthony Joshua fight now. I'm focused on Franklin. There's been pressure in all of my fights. I weren't even an ABA Champion.
People forget I had seven amateur fights. I was out there selling tickets hours before I was due to fight. I'm not an Olympian, and I was never on Team GB. Every fight for me has always been a must-win my whole career. It's just another I've got to deal with.
I've become quite used to that. There's pressure but OK, great. I've gone and beaten guys that I shouldn't have beaten. I definitely want to become Heavyweight Champion of the World, and I'd love to get the opportunity to avenge my two losses. I've already avenged one. I'd love to get the opportunity to avenge the other two".

From version 4.6, Artifactory offers a Sharding Binary Provider that lets you manage your binaries in a sharded filestore. A sharded filestore is one that is implemented on a number of physical mounts (M), which store binary objects with redundancy (R), where R <= M.
For example, the diagram below represents a sharded filestore where M=3 and R=2. In other words, the filestore consists of 3 physical mounts which store each binary in two copies.
Thanks to redundant storage of binaries, the system can withstand any mount going down as long as M >= R.
If the underlying storage available approaches depletion, you only need to add another mount; a process that requires no downtime of the filestore. Once the mount is up and running, the system regenerates the filestore redundancy according to configuration parameters you control.
Sharding Binary Provider offers several configuration parameters that allow you to optimize how binaries are read from or written to the filestore according to your specific system's requirements.
Sharded filestore is available for Artifactory installations activated with an enterprise license.
A sharding binary provider is a binary provider as described in Configuring the Filestore. Basic sharding configuration is used to configure a sharding binary provider for an instance of Artifactory Pro.
A cached sharding binary provider with three mounts and redundancy of 2.
Each mount "X" writes to a directory called /filestoreX.
The read strategy for the provider is roundRobin.
The write strategy for the provider is percentageFreeSpace.
The following code snippet shows the "double-shards" template which can be used as is for your binary store configuration.
The double-shards template uses a cached provider with two mounts and a redundancy of 1, i.e. only one copy of each artifact is stored.
To modify the parameters of the template, you can change the values of the elements in the template definition. For example, to increase redundancy of the configuration to 2, you only need to modify the <redundancy> tag as shown below.
Sharding across multiple zones in an HA Artifactory cluster allows you to create zones or regions of sharded data to provide additional redundancy in case one of your zones becomes unavailable. You can determine the order in which the data is written between the zones and you can set the method for establishing the free space when writing to the mounts in the neighboring zones.
This parameter dictates the strategy for reading binaries from the mounts that make up the cross-zone sharded filestore.
zone: BInaries are read from each mount according to zone settings.
zonePercentageFreeSpace: Binaries are written to the mount in the relevant zone with the highest percentage of free space available.
zoneFreeSpace: Binaries are written to the mount in the zone with the greatest absolute volume of free space available.
"cross.zone.order="us-east1,us-east2", the sharding will write to the US-EAST-1 zone and then to the US-EAST-2 zone.
You can dynamically add nodes to an existing sharding cluster using the ha-node.properties file. To do so, you will need your cluster to already be configured with sharding, and by adding the 'cross.zone.order=us-east-1,us-east-2' property, the new node will be able to write to the existing cluster nodes without changing the binarystore.xml file.
The developer first deploys the package to the closest Artifactory node.
The package is then automatically deployed to the 'US-EAST-1" zone to the shard with the highest percentage of free space in the "S1" shard (with 51% free space).
The package is deployed using the same method to the "S3" shard, that also has the highest percentage of free space in the 'US-EAST-2' zone.
1 Artifactory cluster across 2 zones: "us-east-1" and "us-east-2" in this order.
4 HA nodes, 2 nodes in each zone.
4 mounts (shards), 2 mounts in each zone.
The write strategy for the provider is zonePercentageFreeSpace.
In case of a mount failure, the actual redundancy in your system will be reduced accordingly. In the meantime, binaries continue to be written to the remaining active mounts. Once the malfunctioning mount has been restored, the system needs to rebalance the binaries written to the remaining active mounts to fully restore (i.e. balance) the redundancy configured in the system. Depending on how long the failed mount was inactive, this may involve a significant volume of binaries that now need to be written to the restored mount, which may take significant amount of time. Since restoring the full redundancy is a resource intensive operation, the balancing operation is run in a series of distinct sessions until complete. These are automatically invoked after a Garbage Collection process has been run in the system.
In the case of voluntary actions that cause an imbalance the system redundancy, such as when doing a filestore migration, you may manually invoke rebalancing of redundancy using the Optimize System Storage REST API endpoint. Applying this endpoint raises a flag for Artifactory to run rebalancing following the next Garbage Collection. Note that, to expedite rebalancing, you can invoke garbage collection manually from the Artifactory UI.
Artifactory REST API provides an endpoint that allows you to raise a flag to indicate that Artifactory should invoke balancing between redundant storage units of a sharded filestore after the next garbage collection. For details, please refer to Optimize System Storage.

CBI court sends P Chidambaram to custody till August 26 in INX media case
By Aashish Aryan & Shrimi Choudhary | New Delhi | Last Updated at October 22 2019 12:14 IST
Former finance minister P Chidambaram being taken to court by CBI officials, in New Delhi on Thursday |	photo: pti
A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Thursday sent former finance minister P Chidambaram to the agency's custody for four days in the case related to alleged discrepancies in Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approvals for INX Media's proposals.
Chidambaram will be in CBI custody till August 26, when he will be produced again before court, the lower court judge said.
After a hearing that lasted nearly two hours, the special CBI judge ordered the former union minister be medically examined every 48 hours while in custody. Family members as well as Chidambaram's counsel have also been allowed to meet him daily for 30 minutes, the court said in its order.
"It is impressed upon the investigating agency that it will ensure that the personal dignity of the accused is not violated in any manner," the court said.
On Wednesday evening, Chidambaram surfaced at the Congress headquarters to address the media after a day of courtroom drama and claims by probe agencies that he was evading arrest.

Nearly one and a half hours later, the former union minister was arrested by the probe agency from his south Delhi residence.
After his arrest, the CBI took him to its headquarters here in the city. Chidambaram did not cooperate with officers during his questioning in the INX Media group case, and initially avoided talking to them despite several attempts, said a CBI official privy to the development.
"He was essentially quizzed over foreign investment approvals given to INX Media, and to the questions he gave evasive answers," the official said, adding that the stand taken by Chidambaram in his replies "is in gross contradiction to the stand taken by other accused and witnesses in the matter".
Chidambaram was produced before the special CBI court at nearly 3 pm on Thursday, when a courtroom packed with advocates, media persons, and law interns awaited him. The former finance minister, with a wide smile on his face, stopped to greet the people waiting outside the courtroom before being escorted in.
During the hearing on Thursday, the probe agency, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, sought a five-day remand for Chidambaram, and said custodial interrogation of the former union minister was required to confront him with all the relevant documents.

Further, Mehta submitted, though he had the right to remain evasive and not answer questions, it amounted to non-cooperation with probe agencies.
Though Chidambaram had joined the probe when called by the CBI in July last year, he did not yet submit the documents that were then sought, Mehta told the court.
"A serious and active…informed role of the accused (Chidambaram) is made out from the case diary...there is a money trail that needs to be probed into," Mehta, appearing for the CBI, told the court.
Senior advocates Kapil Sibal and Abhishek Manu Singhvi, appearing for Chidambaram, while opposing the remand, said all the other accused people in the case were out on bail and that the case was based only on documentary evidence. The supposed FIPB approval, which the CBI claims was done illegally, Sibal said, was only endorsed by Chidambaram during his tenure as finance minister, because it had been approved by six other secretaries to the government of India.
Sibal said the CBI called Chidambaram for interrogation only once and since then there had been no developments in the case. There was thus no question of him not cooperating with the probe agencies, Sibal told the court.

A little while later, despite protests from the solicitor general, the court also allowed Chidambaram to make a statement. In his statement, Chidambaram said he had answered all the questions of the court, and there remained nothing more that he could say.
"Please ask for the transcript which was in question-answer form. There is no question which has not been answered. The allegation of Rs 5 million (Rs 50 lakh) …they were never put to me… only asked me if I have a foreign bank account. I said 'No'," the former finance minister said.
The CBI is also likely to question Chidambaram about his son Karti Chidambaram's role in the matter, and could be confronted with the statement given by INX founder Indrani Mukerjea, said sources close to the development.
Mukerjea recently had made disclosures under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, and said that, she along with her husband, Peter Mukerjea, met Chidambaram, and the former union minister asked them to transfer a certain amount as a bribe to his overseas account for facilitating foreign investment clearance.
The CBI is trying to ascertain the trail of payments in several companies abroad linked to FIPB clearances made to five companies, besides INX. The probe conducted by agencies so far has revealed "illegal payoffs" made to Chidambaram and other shell firms floated by Karti Chidambaram, where he is also the beneficial owner. The CBI has also issued Letter Rogatory (LR) to its foreign counterparts in Malaysia, the UK, Spain, and two more countries, seeking judicial assistance about the money parked in shell firms owned by Karti, sources quoted above said.

Yes! a steel type and a ground type!!!
Yes i think there should be more Eeveelutions like a ground type or dark type. Basically all the types which havent been used.
Steel types are sooo awesome. I'll post a steel type Eevee Photo if you want, just look under fan-art.
I'm excited to see a poison evolution! As long as they don't rush it (which, in my opinion, many of the newer Pokémon seem to be, Leafeon and Glaceon excluded, of course), I think it wold be really awesome with one for each element. My heart would always stay with Eevee and the original three, but I would love more evolutions!
Sure. I'd love to see a Steeleon (steel) or a Toxicon (poison). And I kinda have to agree with robby_0927, I would like to see a Mantison or something.
I would love it if they made a DRAGON type Eevee evolution!!!!!!!!
a dragon would be awesome!!!!!!!
I wanna see a Toxeon. It shoulda came to be in 6th gen IMO.

Q: Insert a copy of existing row using Linq to Entities I am using entity framework. I have a table with auto generated primary key and lot of foriegn key relationship with other master data tables. We need a copy functionality, wherein we can select any existing row from the table and insert that as a copy in the same table.
I need to copy all the fields, but it should be a different record, and need the procedure/LINQ  for same.
Please suggest, how should I proceed.

A: You can do this:
context.Entry(oCustomer).State = EntityState.Added;

this will cause EF to think this entity is a new one and after you call SaveChanges it will be inserted in the database and not updated.
If you have an object graph - you need to traverse it and make sure all child entities are set to EntityState.Unchanged or they will be duplicated after SaveChanges.

In the Image of Industry: Northern Luzon and the Making of Filipina/o America
This project investigates how the re-orientation of the colonial Philippines towards a global capitalist economy generated knowledge of nature (especially human nature) that manifested variously as race, indigeneity, ethnicity, and national belonging in the 20th century. It focuses on lowlands Ilokano and highlands Cordilleran groups in Northern Luzon, following the concomitant movement of migrant workers and racial ideas across the Pacific. Grappling with natural and social sciences, mining projects, landscape visuals and narratives, plantation politics, agriculture and factory work, dog-eating, colonial photography, and sensory experience, this project shows how the constellation of cultural notions associated with Philippine-American ethnicity are intertwined with the organizing logics of industrialization and imperial capitalism, impacting how we think about transnational indigenous and migrant workers' justice today.

Taste Against Technocracy: Doreen Fernandez, Manila's Street Foods, and the Embodied Imagination of Nationalism, 1965-1988
This paper argues that street food in Manila provided Philippine intellectuals the subject to articulate their critiques of the Marcos regime through and immediately after the dictatorship, at the height and at the end of the Cold War. While Marcos-era writing on public dining initially shied away from incorporating street vendors into their pieces, their increasing proliferation in the streets of Manila compelled the celebrated Filipina food historian Doreen Fernandez to take them as the subject of Philippine national cuisine. I will show that Fernandez articulated a critique of technocracy by embracing the senses as modes of political engagement with Manila's urban poor. From reintroducing the street food vendor and her wares through sight, smell, and taste, Fernandez reimagined, with both utopian possibility and critical limitation, an embodied vision of Philippine nationalism, produced in the face of food insecurity and its technocratic disavowal.

What to see this weekend: hottest docs in theaters, streaming
Peace Officer and Racing Extinction among new offerings; The Black Panthers, Meru and Cartel Land expand
Documentary fans have plenty to choose from this weekend with the release of several new films, and an expanded presence nationwide for several other documentaries. And of course, there's Netflix, iTunes and VOD for those who prefer to do their movie viewing at home (or who don't live in New York or LA or other cities with theaters that program docs).
Opening today (9/18)
>Peace Officer, directed by Scott Christopherson and Brad Barber. The military's got lots of surplus firepower and machinery. Why not let local law enforcement use it? That may have sounded like a good idea at one point, but there is increasing concern over the growing militarization of police.
The change in equipment is too often paralleled by a corresponding change in attitude whereby police conceive of themselves as "at war" with communities rather than as public servants...
--From ACLU report, "War Comes Home"
Police militarization arguably tossed gas on the fire of protests in Ferguson, Missouri following the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown at the hands of a police officer.

Co-directors Christopherson and Barber take on this timely issue, approaching it through the experience of Dub Lawrence, a former sheriff who set up a SWAT team in 1974 only to see that same tactical unit kill his son-in-law decades later. Peace Officer won the Grand Jury Award at the South by Southwest Film Festival in March.
Now playing in New York at IFC Center and in Los Angeles at the Landmark Nuart. Watch the trailer here.
>Racing Extinction directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Louie Psihoyos (The Cove).
Many scientists believe we are in a period of mass extinction, the first since the age of the dinosaurs, and they predict we could lose half the earth's species by the end of this century. Psihoyos' film points the blame at the international wildlife trade, which profits from demand for animal parts used in bogus medical cures. The other cause is also man-made: carbon emissions and acidified oceans that threaten marine life.
Racing Extinction opens today in New York (Village East Cinema), in Los Angeles (Laemmle NoHo) as well as Minneapolis, Portland, Ore., Columbus, Ohio, Mill Valley, Calif., Laguna Nigel, Calif., and Durham, North Carolina. It will premiere on television December 2 on The Discovery Channel .
Watch the trailer here.
>Prophet's Prey directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg. Berg took on the Catholic Church and pedophile priests in Deliver Us From Evil. In Prophet's Prey she turns her lens on another convicted pedophile religious leader, Warren Jeffs, leader of the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Latter-Day Saints).

Jeffs' arrest in 2006 after he was put on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List kept him in the headlines for several years, but he's most faded from the news as he serves a life plus 20 years' sentence in Texas (for the sexual assault of two girls, one 12 and one 15).
Berg's film argues Jeffs is still controlling the FLDS from behind bars and is capable of persuading his followers to do something catastrophic.
Playing in New York at IFC Center; opens in LA 9/25 at the ArcLight Hollywood, followed by a nationwide release. Debuts on Showtime this fall.
>The Man Who Saved the World directed byPeter Anthony. The little-known story (well, at least I didn't know about it) of Stanislav Petrov, a Lt. Colonel in the Soviet Air Defenses who faced a cataclysmic decision in 1983: whether to launch a retaliatory nuclear attack in response to what was thought (erroneously) to be a US nuclear strike on the Soviet Union.
The incident came in the midst of heightened international tensions after the Soviet Union shot down Korean Air Lines flight 007, a passenger aircraft which had ventured into Soviet "prohibited airspace."
The film contains substantial reenactments and includes the participation of Kevin Costner, Robert DeNiro and Matt Damon -- not as actors but as themselves.
Playing in New York in Cinema Village and in Portland, Ore. (Clinton Street Theaters). Opens in LA and Detroit 9/25.
Expanding this weekend:
>Meru directed by Jimmy Chin and E. Chai Vasarhelyi. The story of Chin's daring attempt to scale the Shark's Fin on Mt. Meru in Northern India, considered perhaps the most challenging climb there is, even more difficult than Mt. Everest. He and two companions failed in 2008, then returned three years later to try again.

A full list of theaters showing Meru is here. For the trailer,click here.
>Cartel Land directed by Matthew Heineman. The filmmaker risked his life to document the state of the drug war in Mexico and Arizona, embedding himself with some very dangerous narcotrafficantes. Heineman also films activities on the US-side of the border, where paramilitary groups are taking law enforcement into their own hands.
The film won directing and cinematography awards at Sundance. Expands 9/18 to Billings, Montana and Bloomington, Vermont. For a full list of theaters showing Cartel Land click here. To watch the trailer click here.
>The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution directed by Stanley Nelson. A look back at the formation and impact of the Black Panther Party, which sprang out of Oakland, California in the 1960s in opposition to the pacifist Civil Rights Movement of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Nelson's film explores the shockingly illegal tactics the FBI used to sabotage the BPP, including assassination.
Now playing in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, DC, Providence, RI, Santa Fe, NM, Seattle, St. Louis and Baltimore.. Expands to LA 9/25. Watch thetrailer here.
Now available on Netflix:
>What Happened, Miss Simone? directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Liz Garbus. The remarkable story of the great singer Nina Simone will leave you believing she was a musical genius, under appreciated despite her considerable fame.
The music is exceptional, of course, but Nina's life story is harrowing -- the racism she faced and her own battle with manic depression. Includes the participation of Nina's daughter, who deserves a documentary of her own.
Now available on iTunes:
>Dior and I by director Frédéric Tcheng. The beautifully directed story of the House of Dior, pegged to the arrival of new creative director Raf Simons. The Belgian fashion design had only a few weeks after his hiring to present his first Dior collection, which needed to simultaneously evoke the Dior tradition while charting a modern course for the brand. An almost impossible task under the scrutiny of the world's fashion press and skeptical critics.
The documentary is as exquisite as the clothes Simons creates. Available on iTunes for $14.99.
Hands down, the funniest documentary of the year: MEET THE PATELS. Now playing in NY, LA and elsewhere. Don't miss it, highly recommended.

My.Games — международная компания, занимающаяся разработкой и издательством игр для ПК, консолей и мобильных платформ, а также инвестированием в игровые студии и проекты.

Компания включает более 10 студий-партнёров. Оперирует более 80 проектами. MY.GAMES за всё время своей деятельности выпустила более 150 игр, включая War Robots, Hustle Castle и Warface. В играх компании зарегистрированы более 890 миллионов игроков по всему миру. Компания развивает собственную игровую ПК платформу My.Games Store, профильное инвестиционное подразделение My.Games Venture Capital, а также The Big Deal, профессиональную платформу для экспертов игровой индустрии.

В Европе крупнейшими рынками MY.GAMES являются Германия, Франция и Великобритания, самыми крупными международными рынками — США, Германия и Япония.

История
Игровой раздел «Игры Mail.ru», посвящённый компьютерным играм, появился на портале Mail.ru 23 мая 2006 года. В нём публиковалась информация, посвящённая игровому миру: новости, рецензии, скриншоты новых игр, видеообзоры. Портал был реализован совместно с компанией IT Territory.

5 декабря 2007 года был сформирован российский игровой холдинг Astrum Online Entertainment, объединивший в себе компании Nival Online, IT Territory и Time Zero.

1 декабря 2009 года Mail.ru Group объявила о покупке холдинга и в марте 2010 года провела ребрендинг Astrum Online Entertainment, объединив игровые активы под брендом «Игры Mail.ru».

В 2013 году Mail.ru Group открыла офис в Маунтин-Вью в США и запустила международный бренд My.com. Под брендом стали издаваться продукты за пределами России. Приобретение разработчика мобильных игр Pixonic в 2016 году подтвердило дальнейшие планы компании в развитии мобильного направления.

В 2017 году внутри игрового направления было открыто собственное профильное инвестиционное направление Mail.ru Games Ventures, переименованное в My.Games Venture Capital в 2020 году.

30 мая 2019 года Mail.ru Group объединила все игровые активы под единым брендом My.Games.

16 августа 2019 года на игровой конференции Gamescom 2019 в Кёльне в Германии My.Games анонсировал запуск глобальной игровой платформы My.Games Store. В декабре того же года магазин вышел в открытую бета-версию.

В январе 2020 года платформа анализа данных о мобильных приложениях App Annie указала Mail.ru Group третьей в списке самых успешных европейских издателей мобильных приложений по показателям выручки.

В апреле 2020 года My.Games консолидировала студию BeIngame, флагманским продуктом которой является мобильная игра Zero City.

В октябре 2020 года My.Games стала владельцем контрольного пакета акций студии Deus Craft, приобретённой за 49,1 млн долларов. Текущий флагманский продукт Deus Craft — мобильная игра Grand Hotel Mania, выпущенная в июле 2020 года.

27 сентября 2022 года VK объявила о продаже My.Games Александру Чачава, управляющему партнёру LETA Capital. Сумма сделки составила $642 млн.

В декабре 2022 года стало известно, что бизнес компании будет реструктурирован. Российский сегмент будет выделен в новую независимую компанию Astrum Entertainment, которая получит лицензию на издательство игр My.Games в России и будет контролироваться игровой компанией Innova. Сам международный разработчик My.Games покинет РФ. При этом, Astrum Entertainment сохранит все текущие команды, которые работают над проектами в России.

Финансовые показатели
MY.GAMES приносила более трети всей выручки VK, бывшему владельцу издательства. Компания в 2020 году увеличила выручку на 18 % до 562 млн долларов США по сравнению с предыдущим годом. Ключевым источником роста остаются мобильные игры, доля которых составила 61 % от общей выручки по итогам апреля 2019 года.

Издательство
MY.GAMES выступает как издатель, сотрудничая с компаниями Bluehole, Smilegate, NetEase, Crytek и другими. За время работы игрового подразделения было издано более 60 игровых проектов, которые включают в себя Perfect World, Lost Ark, Conqueror's Blade, PUBG, CrossFire и многие другие.

Крупнейшие игровые проекты
MY.GAMES выпустила более 150 игр. К октябрю 2020 года в играх зарегистрировано 770 миллионов пользователей. Среди лидирующих по установкам игр находятся Hustle Castle (более 50 миллионов), Warface (более 80 миллионов) и War Robots (177 миллионов).

My.Games Store
My.Games Store (ранее Games Mail.ru) — международная игровая платформа для издания и продажи видеоигр, бета-версия запущена в декабре 2019 года. Разработчики и издатели могут публиковать на ней свои игры, как F2P, так и распространяющиеся по премиальной модели. Платформа аналитики My.Games Store позволяет разработчикам создавать неограниченное количество трекинговых ссылок и отслеживать эффективность рекламных кампаний по большому набору параметров.

В июне 2020 года платформа MY.GAMES Store представила альтернативную схему сотрудничества с издателями, при которой 90 % доходов остаются за владельцем игры, а игровая платформа получает 10 %. Данная схема применяется к выручке от той части пользователей, которую разработчик самостоятельно привёл в игру.

В сентябре 2022 года платформа MY.GAMES Store стала частью новой игровой площадки VK Play.

My.Games Venture Capital
My.Games Venture Capital — инвестиционное подразделение компании My.Games (бывшее название MRGV), запущенное в 2017 году. Целью подразделения является поиск международных перспективных разработок в игровой индустрии и содействие экспансии продуктов на мировой рынок. С момента запуска было совершено более 30 сделок со студиями из 14 городов мира и консолидировано пять студий — SWAG MASHA, BIT.GAMES, Panzerdog, BeINGAME и Deus Craft. В сентябре 2020 года состоялся ребрендинг инвестиционного направления My.Games, в результате которого MRGV было переименовано в My.Games Ventures Capital как часть стратегии по формированию глобального бренда My.Games.

Player One
Player One — информационный портал, посвящённый видеоиграм. Был запущен в мае 2006 года под названием «Игры Mail.ru». На сайте можно найти новости, обзоры игр, руководства по прохождению и так далее. Также портал публикует статьи и видео на околоигровую тематику. В апреле 2020 года портал был перезапущен под названием Player One.

NeuroPace Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Mountain View, Calif. –November 10, 2021 – NeuroPace, Inc. (Nasdaq: NPCE), a commercial-stage medical device company focused on transforming the lives of people suffering from epilepsy, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
•Total revenue of $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, representing a 19% decrease over the prior year period in 2020
•Initial implant revenue of $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2021, representing a 15% decrease over the prior year period
•Received IDE approval for drug resistant primary generalized epilepsy clinical study
•Submitted a premarket approval application supplement seeking to update product labeling for the Model 320 RNS neurostimulator to claim an average battery life of nearly eleven years, an increase of more than two years from the previous label claim
•Added Lisa Andrade to the Board of Directors replacing Evan Norton
"While lingering COVID headwinds negatively impacted third quarter results, I am extremely proud of the NeuroPace team's resiliency during this challenging and dynamic period," said Mike Favet, Chief Executive Officer of NeuroPace. "Despite these macro headwinds, the fundamentals of our business remain strong and we will continue to execute our commercial strategy to bring the benefits of RNS Therapy to more patients. We continue to demonstrate improving product performance such as with increased expectations for device longevity. We also continue to make progress toward increasing the market opportunity as exemplified by the announcement that we received IDE approval from the FDA for a pivotal study to expand our indication to include patients with primary generalized epilepsy."
Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Total revenue was $10.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, a 19% decrease from $12.8 million in the prior year period. Initial implant revenue was $7.8 million, a 15% decrease from $9.2 million in the prior year period. Third quarter initial implant revenue was significantly impacted by a combination of COVID-19 related headwinds, including patient and provider vacations early in the quarter and delayed implant procedures due to the Delta variant and hospital staffing limitations. Replacement implant revenue was $2.5 million, a 31% decrease compared to the prior year period. This reduction in replacement implant revenue was expected. Replacement implant revenue will continue to generally decrease until a significant number of devices with the longer lasting battery reach end of service. More than 90% of patients have had their NeuroPace device replaced when the battery reaches end of service, so replacement implant revenue is primarily a function of when the batteries in the previously implanted devices reach end of service.
Following an internal analysis of real-world data, the Company believes that the Model 320 RNS neurostimulator, which has been marketed starting in 2018, has an estimated average battery life of nearly eleven years at typical use conditions, an increase of more than two years from the previous longevity estimate. NeuroPace submitted a premarket approval application supplement to the FDA that if approved will allow the Company to make marketing claims about the increased longevity. The Company believes that a longer lasting battery will help increase patient adoption of RNS Therapy, especially as the Company conducts the pivotal clinical study to expand its indications to include younger patients.
Gross margin for the third quarter of 2021 was 72.6% compared to 75.0% in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to certain cost increases as manufacturing operations returned to pre-COVID levels following COVID-19 related disruptions in 2020.
Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2021 were $13.8 million, compared with $10.7 million in the prior year period. R&D expense in the third quarter was $4.3 million compared with $3.7 million in the prior year period. The increase in R&D expense was primarily driven by an increase in product development and clinical study expenses. SG&A expense in the third quarter of 2021 was $9.4 million compared with $7.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily driven by increased costs associated with operating as a public company and increased sales and marketing expenses.
Net loss was $8.1 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to a net loss of $4.1 million in the prior year period. Interest expense in the third quarter of 2021 was $1.8 million, compared to $2.8 million in the prior year period.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $123.3 million and long-term borrowings were $49.6 million as of September 30, 2021.
2021 Financial Guidance
Management continues to take a measured approach given the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, including the risk posed by new variants and the potential impact on hospital, physician and patient behavior:
Updated Full Year 2021 Guidance
•Total revenue of $44 to $44.5 million, representing growth of 7% to 8% compared to prior year.
•Initial implant revenue of $33 to $33.5 million, representing growth of 18% to 20% compared to prior year.
•Replacement implant revenue of approximately $11 million, representing a decline of 16% compared to prior year.
