EVI 15th Anniversary Symposium on Global Health and Diseases of Poverty
Internationales Wissenschaftsforum Heidelberg – Germany
Summary of presentations
In her welcome message, Odile Leroy, Executive Director of EVI, indicated that the aim of the EVI 15th Anniversary Symposium was to show the origins of EVI, where it currently stands, and where EVI wants to position itself in the future. She pointed out that different aspects of the needs in vaccine research and diseases of poverty would be covered during the meeting. The symposium participants were also welcomed by Marita Troye-Blomberg, outgoing chair of the EVI Board, and by the new chair, Terry McWade. Terry McWade indicated that the current economic situation is affecting the availability of funding for the type of activities supported by EVI, and stressed the importance of positioning EVI in the strategically right place. He pointed out that in his opinion the partnerships with laboratories and industries should be strengthened and expanded.
Odile Leroy gave an overview of the history of EVI which was originally established in 1998 in Bergen, Norway, as European Malaria Vaccine Initiative (EMVI), and subsequently moved to the Staten Serum Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2009, EMVI was transformed into EVI, with a corresponding expansion of EVI´s mission to target all diseases of poverty, coupled with a move to Heidelberg, Germany. Odile Leroy explained that EVI is following an integrator business model, whose clients are the scientific community of diseases of poverty. She mentioned that the malaria vaccine community has been a pioneer in promoting cross boarder and cross discipline working relationships, adding that although much harmonisation and standardisation has already been achieved, a lot remains to be done. She stressed that EVI aims at thinking globally so that Europe can continue to play a role in vaccine development, and that political commitment was now needed to formalise a global network of relevant vaccine institutions.
Stefanie Meredith, independent consultant on global health, subsequently presented the concept of Product Development Partnerships (PDPs). She pointed out that PDPs –non-profit organisations that accelerate the development of affordable medical products for neglected tropical diseases, and ensure access to these products for those who need them - have already launched approximately 20 new products, and by their involvement these organisations have demonstrated they have managed to revitalise and stimulate global investment in Research and Development (R&D) for diseases in the low income population. She stressed that the health impact is much more important than the product itself.
Rainer Sauerborn, University Clinic Heidelberg, Germany, highlighted in this presentation the important link between climate change and diseases of poverty, and pointed to the health impact of climate changes on (re)emerging infectious diseases, especially in low and middle income countries. He ended the his talk by stressing the importance of raising the awareness of policy makers in understanding the health impact of climate changes and the need to stop the global warming and by this to improve the health situation.
Ole Olesen, DG Research, European Commission (EC), highlighted the important role the EC plays in supporting global health. He informed the audience that the EC worldwide is currently the third-largest funder of R&D into global health issues, and that in the context of the preparation of the up-coming Horizon 2020 Framework Programme the EC is strongly supporting the further strengthening of this area, by promoting a further budget increase for the entire Framework Programme as well as by the expansion of the scope of various initiatives and funding schemes foreseen within Horizon 2020.
Arnaud Chêne, Inserm, France, presented the PRIMALVAC project on behalf of Benoit Gamain. PRIMALVAC –part of EVI´s project portfolio- started in December 2011 and aims at developing a vaccine to prevent pregnancy associated malaria (PAM). PAM is responsible for 200,000 fetal and infant deaths and causes at least 10,000 maternal deaths every year. He informed the audience about their efforts to develop a vaccine against PAM based on the so-called var2CSA antigen, currently the leading vaccine candidate for this type of malaria. He presented achievements made during the first year of the project, in particular concerning the progress made regarding the identification of the most suitable var2CSA fragment, and the expression system to be used for the production of the antigen. He stressed the importance of obtaining proof of concept that a var2CSA based vaccine candidate can be designed.
David Salisbury, Department of Health, London, United Kingdom, presented to the audience the Decade of Vaccines Collaboration (DoV) which aims to enhance global collaboration and promote country ownership in immunisation, bringing together all stakeholders across the entire vaccine chain. The objectives established for the DoV include averting hundreds of millions of cases and future deaths from infectious diseases, thus gaining billions of dollars of economic productivity, and contributing to exceeding the Millenium Development Goal 4 target for reduction in child mortality. To enable the achievement of these ambitious objectives, a global vaccine action plan has been developed, including strategic objectives and related high level actions. As examples of activities contributing to achieving strategic objective 6 -country, regional and global R&D innovations maximise the benefits of immunisation- David Salisbury highlighted to initiatives, the ADITEC collaborative research programme financed by the EC, and EVI with its objective to develop effective, accessible and affordable vaccines against diseases of poverty.
Charles Mgone, European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP), The Netherlands, summarised the achievements of EDCTP regarding the development of tools to fight poverty-related diseases, the establishment of co-operation and partnerships between the many countries involved, and the development of capacities in sub-Saharan African countries. He presented an outlook on the up-coming EDCTP-2 under the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme, and highlighted innovations foreseen which include a higher level of funding, an expanded scope concerning the activities that will be supported, and a stronger relationship with partners from the private sector and international development, amongst others.
Nicolas Collin, Vaccine Formulation Laboratory (VFL) at University of Lausanne, Switzerland, presented an overview of vaccine adjuvants, their definition and use. He stated that adjuvants are often contemplated as key components of modern vaccinology, and that it takes usually a long time to license an adjuvanted vaccine. He mentioned also that vaccine formulation expertise was one weak link in vaccine development, and that it was important to pursue efforts in spreading more this expertise. He then presented a case study of the technology transfer of an oil-in-water emulsion to Bio Farma in Indonesia for use in H5N1 influenza vaccine, an activity at the VFL supported by US Health and Human Services and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). He ended his talk by presenting other VFL activities, notably in the context of the TRANSVAC project, a vaccine infrastructure project coordinated by EVI and financed by the EC under the 7th Framework Programme.
Suresh Jadhav, Serum Institute of India (SII), presented the important role of the Developing Country Vaccine Manufacturers Network (DCVMN) in supplying vaccines to the GAVI Alliance and UNICEF. He explained the enormous impact of lower prices when vaccines are produced in developing countries, and presented several examples supporting his claim. He stressed the importance of developing countries vaccine manufacturers' production capacities and high volume-low cost business models in ensuring access at affordable prices, and acknowledged the important role in capacity strengthening which many European institutes played by facilitating technology transfer to manufacturers in developing countries.
Jean-Paul Prieels, Masthercell, Belgium, talked about the role of the pharmaceutical industry in vaccine R&D. He started his talk by highlighting the fact that five big pharmaceutical companies share 90% of the vaccine market. To analyse their involvement in the development of vaccines for five diseases of poverty -Malaria, TB, HIV, RSV and Dengue- he presented the results of a patent portfolio analysis performed for the five big pharmaceutical companies which concluded that vaccine R&D for these diseases of poverty is not a core activity of these pharmaceutical companies. His principal recommendation was that a change of business model is urgently required in order to achieve a breakthrough in vaccine research for the aforementioned diseases of poverty, and that there is a strong need for a collaborative effort and a combination of platforms and technologies in order to develop a successful vaccination strategy.
Joachim Hombach, World Health Organization (WHO) gave a talk on vaccines in low income countries. He said that the mortality of children under five was globally decreasing, mostly due to a reduction in deaths from diarrheal diseases, pneumonia and especially measles. He stated that worldwide 7.6 Miollion deaths still occurred in children under five, 50% of which occurred in five countries. 64% of the deaths were due to infection. He therefore asked the question of whether vaccines could reduce neonatal deaths. For this, the causes of these deaths would have to be better known. He mentioned two studies (PERCH and ANISA), which look at severe respiratory, bacterial and viral death causes in African and Asian countries, and stressed that these studies are important in order to plan the right interventions. He also informed the audience that maternal immunisation had a positive effect on newborns because the mothers are healthier throughout pregnancy, and some immunity is transferred to the baby as well. Flu vaccination was recommended for pregnant women since they were especially susceptible to the disease. He pointed out that the safety of the vaccine for the fetus still had to be evaluated. RSV and Streptococcus B vaccinations are currently in the pipeline.
Günther Taube, GIZ, Germany, started with an overview of the organisation. He informed the audience that GIZ was working in 130 countries and currently employs approximately 20,000 staff, advisers and other experts involved in the organisation's projects. The key areas GIZ is working in are health system strengthening, sexual and reproductive health, and HIV/AIDS. He mentioned that regarding activities in the health area, GIZ currently works in approximately 50 countries, in particular in Africa. He subsequently presented several examples of GIZ´s involvement in the health sector, including a health sector support programme in Nepal, in which access to effective health care services is being improved in particular for disadvantaged population groups, and a global initiative on pandemic preparedness which objective is to strengthen the resilience to public health emergencies in the context of health systems strengthening and multi-sectorial cooperation.
In her closing remarks Odile Leroy mentioned that the meeting greatly helped with regard to revising the current EVI strategy, and that what lie ahead would be a focus on partnerships, not only in Europe but on a global level. She pointed out the particular value of the model proposed by Jean-Paul Prieels, namely an alternative business model for vaccine development involving pharmaceutical industry R&D, academia, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other stakeholders. She thanked the participants and the EVI staff for their participation at the meeting.

Fake Followers Eating Into Brands' Influencer Marketing Budgets
by Gavin O'Malley @mp_gavin, February 8, 2019
Of the $744 million that brands spent on influencer marketing in 2018, $102 million was wasted on fake followers.
That's according to a new report from Points North Group, which found that some brands have been especially hard-hit by the fake follower phenomenon.
Last year, a quarter of the cash that Unilever's Dove brand spent on influencer marketing went to fake followers -- compared to 14% for the typical advertiser -- despite the fact that Keith Weed, Unilever's chief marketing officer, said the company would no longer partner with influencers who purchased followers or used bots last year.
For brands that count on social influencers to reach consumers, fake followers have been a costly problem.
Yet no one brand was harder hit by fake followers than Raw Sugar Living, last year. According to Points North Group, nearly half (46%) of the beauty brand's influencer marketing dollars were squandered on bots and paid followers.
Just behind Raw Sugar Living was Clarins skin care, which blew 45% of its influencer marketing budget on fake followers last year.
Not far behind was Amazon's Zappos, which saw 38% of its influencer marketing budget go to fakes followers last year.
Other big losers last year included mega retailer Kroger, (which wasted 33% of its influencer marketing dollars on fake followers); Crocs (33%); Ritz-Carlton (33%); and P&G's Herbal Essences (31%).
Overall, brands spent about $1 billion on influencer marketing in the U.S. and Canada last year.
Among other big spenders, Flat Tummy Co. paid influencers nearly $20 million, per Points North Group.
Following the dietary supplement giant, watch retailer Daniel Wellington paid influencers about $8.3 million last year, while vodka brand Ciroc spent about $7.7 million on influencers and Calvin Klein shelled out about $7.4 million.
To track influencer marketing, Points North Group uses software that analyzes sponsored posts on Instagram. To estimate spend, the analytics firm assumes "rate card" pricing of $0.003 per follower.

HCI → The Truth About Depression
The Truth About Depression (Paperback)
Choices for Healing
Available from your favorite retailer including
Peek Inside
Almost 40 percent of the U.S. population suffers from some form of depression or mental illness yet the causes of mental illness remain largely a mystery. The prevailing theory sees the cause as a trans-generational genetic defect of brain chemistry, which is best treated with medication.
New breakthroughs made by health professionals dislodge this theory, and show that frequently previous traumas are what lead to mental illness.
In this bold new book, renowned physician and psychotherapist Charles Whitfield takes a new look at the common problems of depression, anxiety, addictions, eating disorders, schizophrenia and other mental illness. The Truth About Depression shows the strong and at times causal relationship between childhood trauma and future depression and other mental illness; he explores the risks, side-effects and high cost of treating these disorders with anti-depressant drugs, and; provides an alternative treatment and recovery program for people with depression and a history of childhood trauma.
Dr. Whitfield's book offers hope and help for those who have been held hostage by depression, and provides clinicians with new solutions and alternatives to high-risk medications.
Throughout history we have looked for the cause of depression and other mental illness, and we still donÆt know it. The two major theories have long been and remain: nature (genes, biology) versus nurture (environment, family).
Our mistake has been to focus on only one or the other. In fact, based on our current knowledge, it appears that both nature and nurture are active factors in most people with mental disorders. These afflictions include:
Depression and suicidality
Alcohol and other drug problems
Attention deficit disorder (ADD) and violence
In 1999 I began writing notes for my own use that summarized what I understood about depression and other so-called mental disorders based on what I had observed in my private practice and what I was reading in the clinical scientific literature. After I wrote half of it as these ônotes to myself,ö I realized that this information was too important not to share it. Sixteen years ago I wrote Healing the Child Within in a similar vein. I wrote it as educational material for my private patients, and not for public distribution. Eventually it was published by Health Communications and has sold about 1.5 million copies. Its usefulness was spread mostly by word of mouth from readers.
Since then the principles I described there have not changed. They are still valid. But the literature to back it up has expanded to such an extent that I believe that it is now worth sharing with you. Its main problem is that this valuable and validating literature is scattered over numerous journals and books, many of them unknown to most people, published both in this country and around the worldùmostly over the last twenty years.
In this book I take a new look at the common problem of depression. In the second and companion volume, The Truth About Mental Illness, I take a similar fresh look at other common mental illness. While many helping professionals and consumers have made the connection between childhood and later trauma and the onset of mental disorders, many have not. Some may be partially aware but donÆt know how strong the trauma-mental disorder link is. This book will:
Show the strong and perhaps even causal relationship between trauma and depression;
Show the risks, side effects, marginal efficacy, and high cost of antidepressant and other drugs commonly used today;
Provide an alternative treatment and recovery program for people who have depression and a history of childhood and other traumas.
Mental illness is common. It may affect up to 40 percent of the United States population during their lifetime. Since about 1960 psychiatry has gradually been building a biological base for the mental illness that it treats. While some have criticized it, its evolving American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) has helped clarify a number of ways that psychiatrists and other clinicians have come to view some of the more painful aspects of the human condition. During this time, countless articles and books were published to support their growing idea that most mental illness is due to a genetically transmitted brain problem. With the help of the drug industry, this theory spread throughout medicine and the helping professions, and eventually into the public belief system.
In 1974, the United States Congress passed the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, which supported the child abuse prevention and treatment movement. Although there had been sporadic papers and reports describing the effects of childhood trauma since 1896 (e.g., written by Freud, Janet, Brauer, Ferenzci and Horney), clinical and basic researchers began to report their findings on these effects, especially from the mid-1980s.
It may be timely now to promote the role of the helping professions in the treatment of traumatized children and adults, as well as the personal power of trauma survivors to help themselves heal. This is because the documented evidence in the clinical scientific literature has increased since 1980 to show a strong link between trauma and depression and other mental disorders. In this book and the next, I describe this evidence for each of the most common illnesses. The most studied and commonly reported disorder linked with a history of childhood trauma is depression, which I cover in this book. I also present principles of trauma, its effects, and its treatment and recovery. In the second volume I then review the next most reported and trauma-linked disorders. These are: addictions, including alcohol and other drug problems, eating disorders, nicotine dependence, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders, dissociative disorders, personality disorders, psychosis, behavior problems and violence. These two volumes will interact and support one another periodically in their text.
The data found in the nearly 300 scientific reports that I summarize and cite raises potentially important questions and concerns for all child, adolescent and adult victims of trauma and the clinicians who assist them. How can we improve our awareness of and our approach to people who have experienced childhood and later trauma? Given this new knowledge, how can mental health services best be improved? And how can survivors of trauma recognize its effects on themselves and then find effective recovery aids, including knowledgeable and experienced health professionals? While assistance from clinicians may provide an important way for trauma survivors to help identify the causal factors for their pain and help them discover how best to handle it, it is ultimately up to affected individuals to become aware of the link between their pain and numbness and their past trauma.
In my research over the years I am sure that I have missed some important articles, chapters and books that support the numerous findings that I cite here in this book. I hope that the authors of studies I may have missed will tell me of their work so that I can add it to this already massive collection of important but overlooked data proving my observations.
I also ask that the reader bear with me when the reading may be dry. By translating this wealth of otherwise dense and complex information into a more reader friendly and useful format, this may be the first time that anyone has gathered and explained the truth about depression and other mental illness and our choices to heal from them.
We can step out of the box of our conservative and sometimes limited beliefs about the nature and cause of mental illness. I ask the reader to consider opening your mind to the possibility that trauma from childhood could be contributing to or even causing some mental illness. And perhaps with this new information you will understand an important alternative to healing it. Armed with this understanding, people with depression and other so-called mental illnesses can now consider more possibilities and choices as they heal. At the same time, some of their family may now be able to support these alternative forms of healing. This book offers state-of-the-art information that I hope will allow affected people and their families, their clinicians and other important people in their lives, to expand their understanding of the mystery of depression and other mental illness.

Keeping Kids Out of the Middle (Paperback)


text:
Tralee is the capital of County Kerry, the south-western corner of Ireland. In 1828 funding was sought for a canal to link the town to the sea at Blennerville. The canal, only about 2 km long, opened in 1846; it closed in the 1930s when a deepwater quay was built at Fenit.
The canal was restored in the 1990s/2000s by the Office of Public Works, for around IR£1,000,000, but is, I think, controlled by Tralee Town Council and Kerry County Council. The town basin seems to be called a marina but the term "Tralee Marina" seems to refer only to a block of flats. I am open to correction on all of that. I would also like to know who the lockkeeper is, how he or she is to be contacted and what the canal charges are. Reliable information on the size of the lock and the depth of the canal would also be useful.
There is an interesting account of the canal here, but I think the author is wrong about the bridge: the Ordnance Survey map shows it as a swivel bridge. This page mentions an article about the canal.
Here you can see the whole of the canal, running from Tralee (on the right) to the sea at Blennerville on the left. You may have to select the larger image and move down and to the left a bit: I can't work out how to get these links to start in the right place.
The road runs alongside the canal as far as the swing bridge. You can walk down the north bank from there to the lock; there is also a road that leads to the lock.
Tim Boddington of Bollington has very kindly sent me his photos, taken during restoration work on the lock — and in sunshine. I have inserted some of them below. Many thanks to Tim.
The sea lock
The upper gates. Note the railing along the lock on the far side
I presumed that the paddle mechanisms were the vertical red things about half way along each gate, with (again, I presumed) hydraulic hoses leading to them. And so indeed, from Tim Boddington's photos, it proves to be.

The original bridge was most certainly a swivel bridge – it appears on some of W. Lawrence's photographs (showing the windmill in the background).
Brian J Goggin | Monday 15 February 2010 at 09:42 |
Thanks, Fred. I thought the chap on http://www.focuskerry.com/james/canal.html might have been using the word "drawbridge" loosely to mean any type of moving bridge, but he does say "pulled up" (despite the absence of any mechanism).
The windmill seems to be the most successful of the Tralee/Blennerville heritage projects.

Why is this not part of Waterways Ireland operation? Unless it is connected to people who have some professional experience of operating a waterway (and I realise you also have your doubts there) the whole thing is likely to become a white elephant. I realise that the T&D railway restoration has also come and gone at some expense. Expensive bits of kit (those which require insurance and maintenance) come with costs. I can well imagine a local authority maintaining a high tech sea lock (without manual operating gear which in the 19th century was all they needed). The sad thing about all this – and I thought this when I went through each electric lock on Shannon Erne – is that the outsider realises that the Irish relationship with the EU has proved very adept at securing funding but seems more challenged at relating the spend to projects which will pay back and have a life. And then the EU taxpayer in one of the more sceptical parts of Europe scratches their head. I came here after your discussion of the Western Rail Corridor (and I came to the opening day of that and rode on it the next day). If the WRC becomes another example of the tendency, it becomes very sad indeed. I had high hopes for a full circuit of the margin from Sligo Limerick Rosslare but it started to look very creaky to my eyes when they closed the line through South Wexford. Opened one bit of the link, shut another. What's going on?

Tralee, and County Kerry, have benefited from public money because TDs have had crucial roles, either in or supporting the government. The canal, the railway, Blennerville Windmill, and the ludicrous Jeanie Johnston, were developed by Tralee or County Kerry local authorities as tourist attractions. The problem with the canal is not the technology: it's that there is no traffic. Nobody wants or needs to take a boat up the canal to Tralee. So the canal is pointless. I think the WRC is too: even Limerick–Waterford gets very few passengers, and the bus service is far more convenient. But local enthusiasts, and public money spent in the constituency, both swing votes, and project appraisal is very weak. bjg

The Canal is now tidal again, since one of the gates has been removed last week:
bjg | Tuesday 20 May 2014 at 10:34 |
Thank you for that. I have made it the subject of a new post and linked to a Radio Kerry story on the subject. bjg

Is it possible to enter that town basin by boat now to stay a couple of days or those lock and bridge just decorations? How to find lock keeper details?
bjg | Monday 11 May 2020 at 11:41 |
When they were reinstalled the lock (sluices and gates) were working, but I think that they no longer do so. You might be able to get in using one set of gates at the right state of the tide but I don't really know, and I know nothing about the channel outside the gates. (It's some years since I last checked on Tralee.) I suggest contacting Kerry County Council's Tralee office https://www.kerrycoco.ie/council-offices/tralee-municipal-area-office/

Public Life
Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (; October 11, 1884November 7, 1962) was an American political figure, diplomat, and activist. She served as the first lady of the United States from 1933 to 1945, during her husband President Franklin D. Roosevelt's four terms in office, making her the longest-serving first lady of the United States.[1] Roosevelt served as United States Delegate to the United Nations General Assembly from 1945 to 1952. President Harry S. Truman later called her the "First Lady of the World" in tribute to her human rights achievements.
Roosevelt was a member of the prominent American Roosevelt and Livingston families and a niece of President Theodore Roosevelt.[2] She had an unhappy childhood, having suffered the deaths of both parents and one of her brothers at a young age. At 15, she attended Allenswood Boarding Academy in London and was deeply influenced by its headmistress Marie Souvestre. Returning to the U.S., she married her fifth cousin once removed, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in 1905. The Roosevelts' marriage was complicated from the beginning by Franklin's controlling mother, Sara, and after Eleanor discovered her husband's affair with Lucy Mercer in 1918, she resolved to seek fulfillment in leading a public life of her own. She persuaded Franklin to stay in politics after he was stricken with a paralytic illness in 1921, which cost him the normal use of his legs, and began giving speeches and appearing at campaign events in his place. Following Franklin's election as Governor of New York in 1928, and throughout the remainder of Franklin's public career in government, Roosevelt regularly made public appearances on his behalf; and as First Lady, while her husband served as president, she significantly reshaped and redefined the role.
Though widely respected in her later years, Roosevelt was a controversial first lady at the time for her outspokenness, particularly on civil rights for African-Americans. She was the first presidential spouse to hold regular press conferences, write a daily newspaper column, write a monthly magazine column, host a weekly radio show, and speak at a national party convention. On a few occasions, she publicly disagreed with her husband's policies. She launched an experimental community at Arthurdale, West Virginia, for the families of unemployed miners, later widely regarded as a failure. She advocated for expanded roles for women in the workplace, the civil rights of African Americans and Asian Americans, and the rights of World War II refugees. Following her husband's death in 1945, Roosevelt remained active in politics for the remaining 17 years of her life. She pressed the United States to join and support the United Nations and became its first delegate. She served as the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights and oversaw the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Later, she chaired the John F. Kennedy administration's Presidential Commission on the Status of Women. By the time of her death, Roosevelt was regarded as "one of the most esteemed women in the world"; The New York Times called her "the object of almost universal respect" in her obituary.
In 1999, she was ranked ninth in the top ten of Gallup's List of Most Widely Admired People of the 20th Century, and was listed thirteen times as the most admired woman between 1948 and 1961.
Eleanor's parents died when she was a child, and she was raised by her maternal grandmother Mary Ludlow Hall. After finishing school in England, she returned to New York and worked as a social worker on New York's East Side.
She met future President Franklin Roosevelt, her father's fifth cousin (through common ancestors Nicholas and Heyeltje Roosevelt), in 1902 when she was 17 and he was a 20-year-old Harvard student. They courted despite his mother's resentment, and were married in 1905. They lived in New York City until Franklin was elected to the state senate in 1911, and they then moved to Albany. They had six children between 1906 and 1916.

Delaware is home to several mortgage service providers.
Following a credit check, mortgage providers qualify you for a specific amount to purchase a house.
Before the market crash of 2008, lending laws were lax. Even ineligible people were often qualified for mortgages that they couldn't afford.
Thankfully, the rules have been tightened and are also being implemented strictly.
Before applying for a mortgage, talk to at least three or four providers on the phone. Don't hesitate to ask questions.
Based on your comfort level after the phone calls, then schedule a meeting with at least two mortgage providers before finalizing one of them.
Remember to ask the mortgage provider if they work with the Delaware program for First Time Home Buyers.
With home prices still low, now might be a good time to consider a purchase.

The EFTA Surveillance Authority has decided today to open an investigation regarding the sale and rent of Lista air base situated in Farsund.
The Authority learnt about the sale of the Lista air base by way of a report issued by the Office of the Auditor General.
On 12 September 2002, the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency sold Lista air base to Lista Flypark AS. The sale resulted in the Norwegian State paying to Lista Flypark AS NOK 10 875 000 to take over the air base. Based on the information submitted by the Norwegian authorities, the Authority cannot exclude the possibility that the sale involves some elements of state aid.
Moreover, it appears that, prior to the sale of the air base, parts of the estate were leased out at a price which may have been below market value and may thus also involve some elements of state aid.
Today's decision to open the formal investigation procedure will be published in the EEA Section of and the EEA Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Communities. The Authority will take its final decision after having reviewed comments from the Norwegian Government and from any other interested parties.

Sen. Collins Reiterates Support for Renewable Chemicals Act
Nika Beauchamp
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) reiterated her support for the Renewable Chemicals Act of 2017 (S. 1980) in a recent letter to our executive director Mike Belliveau, redoubling her commitment to securing funding for programs to advance the renewable chemicals industry in Maine.
"As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I continue to secure funding for programs to protect Maine's forest industries and environment because, as you know, Maine's economy depends in large part on the health and stability of its forests."—Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine)
"I was proud to introduce S. 1980, together with Senator Stabenow (D-MI) to provide a targeted, short-term production tax credit (PTC) of 15 cents per pound for the production of eligile renewable chemicals from biomass feedstock," wrote Sen. Collins. "In lieu of the PTC, producers could opt to take a 30 percent investment tax credit for qualified investments in new renewable chemical production facilities. S. 1980 has been referred to the Senate Finance Committee, where it awaits consideration."
When the bill was first introduced in the U.S. Senate in October, Belliveau said: "The Renewable Chemicals Act of 2017 is exactly the kind of public policy that can help the emerging biobased industry compete successfully against heavily subsidized petrochemicals. We urge Congress to enact this legislation to help Maine overcome the twin threats of good job loss and a changing climate."
In her letter, Sen. Collins concluded: "As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I continue to secure funding for programs to protect Maine's forest industries and environment because, as you know, Maine's economy depend is in large part on the health and stability of its forests."
The Environmental Health Strategy Center thanks Sen. Collins for her continued support of the growing biobased chemicals industry in Maine.

If bidders have independent private values and homogeneous entry costs, a first- or second-price auction with a reserve price equal to the seller's value maximizes social surplus and seller revenue. We show that if entry costs are heterogeneous and private information, then the revenue-maximizing reserve price is above the seller's value, a positive admission fee (and a reserve price equal to the seller's value) generates more revenue, and an entry cap combined with an admission fee generates even more revenue. Social surplus and seller revenue may either increase or decrease in the number of bidders, but they coincide asymptotically. © 2011, RAND.

Q: ¿Cómo crear un objeto iterable desde un objeto de WikipediaPage? Estoy tratando de cambiar un rango de documentos de un proyecto que necesita un modelo que requiere una gran cantidad de memoria RAM para ser entrenada a una más simple basada en la biblioteca wikipedia.
Tengo queries, una lista de consultas que contiene solo una consulta en este momento
queries : ['What is the population of Toulon']

y me gustaría cambiar la forma en que se clasificó al documento más cercano utilizando la función wikipedia.page (). Sin embargo, para el buen funcionamiento de este rango sé que necesito un objeto útil al final. De hecho lo intenté
    # Rank documents for queries.
    if len(queries) == 1:
        # ranked = [self.ranker.closest_docs(queries[0], k=n_docs)]
        ranked = [wikipedia.page(queries),wikipedia.page(queries)] # which is stupid I know, but don't know how to do it differently yet.
    all_docids, all_doc_scores = zip(*ranked)

y obtuve un error all_docids, all_doc_scores = zip(*ranked) TypeError: zip argument #1 must support iteration.
Por lo momento tengo <WikipediaPage 'Toulon'> <WikipediaPage 'Toulon'>
Hay zip porque parece necesario despues :
    # Acoplar identificaciones de documentos y recuperar texto de la base de datos.
    # Eliminar duplicados para la eficiencia del procesamiento.
    flat_docids = list({d for docids in all_docids for d in docids})
    did2didx = {did: didx for didx, did in enumerate(flat_docids)}

    flat_docids = list({d for docids in all_docids for d in docids})
    doc_texts = self.processes.map(fetch_text)

Parece que el texto esta solamente  recuperado más tarde que lo hice, en self.processes.map (fetch_text) ¿cometí un error?

Or, may be they do. Only we are too short-sighted to understand the play of universe!! Well, ok, I am going to be a little morbid on the second last day of the year. For tomorrow, I am reserving a personal post – the highs and lows of this year!! But, before that I wanted to talk about an unfortunate event that took place in my friend's life!!
Well, few months back, I think I did talk about my friend's fear of the baby's heart not being audible! The same friend had to undergo a C-section last Sunday due to some viral infection and increase in platelet count. And, she had just entered the seventh month or probably in the middle of it. So, the baby was really tiny and was kept in the incubator but unfortunately he could not survive beyond a week.
How awful it can be is something which I can not even begin to fathom. In fact, this was quite a turn in my life coz I never really had to go to give condolences to anyone, not even my mom and dad for that matter when their loved ones passed away. Till date, I have been really affected only by two deaths – one is my grandfather's and later one of my friend's mom passed away due to cancer!!
And, coming back to the topic of my friend's loss, when I conveyed this message to one of our colleagues who is an elder person, what she said was something very profound. She said whatever happened, it happened for the good. My friend was not really ready and the baby came unexpectedly and there are too many problems in her life to have a baby at her hands. In a way if I am look at the circumstances, this might be right as well but somehow you can never really console yourself to the bereavement of a life!! Who said everything happens for the good?
Ok, so, I have been dying to blog but I seriously am so packed all the time that I do not have the energy to go home and pick up the laptop or the patience to struggle with my Xperia to type an entire post on it. Anyways, if you are thinking that I am handling all the chores of the house, nothing could be farther from truth. If I handle my stuff only, its more than enough.
10 years of independence does make you a lot lazy. I get up in the morning, get ready and have breakfast and leave for office. Then, go back home and have dinner and sleep or may be squeeze in washing clothes in between or a movie on weekends. The commute itself eats up around 2-3 hours everyday!! I am so missing staying close to my workplace.
Ok, this might feel like ranting or complaining but I have hardly got anytime to take care of myself. I have hardly used any sunscreen since the wedding time. My scalp itches like crazy. I feel like pulling my hair out and yesterday I went for oiling and blow dry and the lady told me I have dandruff. I was like F..K!! I have no idea how to deal with. Should start with vinegar thing I always talk about. And, hair has become dry thanks to winters as well. And, I have not exfoliated my skin since like EVER. I hardly apply any moisturizer. I have to go to parlor but have no time since I prefer the parlor near my workplace. My entire routine is haywire. I seriously need to get back on track. Please do not mind my rantings but writing down helps me keep a track of what all I need to do.
I have not blogged since Eternity. Imagine its been a month almost (ok, a month is tomorrow) and we have not yet sorted out the photographs we like for the wedding album. The honeymoon snaps are lying in the memory card since then. Have to see them as well. Gosh so many things to finish. And, I have not washed my clothes since almost a week!! Me piling clothes is an alien concept.
And, in the meantime, why don't you tell me how you have been doing?
So, yup, I am gonna give you all the juicy details of the night. Make sure parental discretion is ascertained and you are above 18 years of age. As I mentioned in some earlier post, the pandits find some muhurtam/muhurat for this as well. Trust me, its pretty embarrassing.
Ok, when your parents and in laws drop you into the honeymoon suite, its pretty weird and that was how it was for both of us. But, let bygones be that. We ordered for dinner and proceeded to the balcony for a candle light ambiance. And, then…..I fell!!! Huh…did you think I will ruin you children?
There was almost a feet of step in the balcony and I did not see and rushed out to the railing and it was all pretty dark outside and then dhadam. And, I was frozen. It was raining outside and I could not move. Somehow my hubby got me inside and I was shivering all the while and my ankle looked like an elephant. Nah, the night was not over there and then! I very humbly said we will not disturb and trouble our parents. And, then, I wake up at 3 at night with a horrible pain and then my guy does the perfect patnivrata pati role.
Can first night get more adventurous than that? 😀 And, since then I have been limping all around carelessly. Poor hubby got frightened looking at my dad's expressions 😀 My dad looked like I leave my daughter with you for one night and she ends up with a huge swollen ankle! What will you do later? But, gosh, had it not been so painful, the situation was pretty hilarious.

Exciting news in the world of Alberta real estate development: above-ground construction on The Park, the highly-anticipated condo tower in Calgary's Betline neighbourhood, has officially begun.
With the underground parkade already complete, passersby will see The Park's 19-storey tower progressively take shape on the corner of 13 Avenue and 2 Street SW in the coming months.
There are very few places to live that are as inviting and exciting as Calgary's inner city. At the centre of all the action you'll find The Park, ideally situated between two of the city's most beautiful and historic green spaces – Central Memorial Park and Haultain School Park.
With record-low interest rates, a robust employment scene, and rising incomes, Calgary is benefiting from a level of market confidence that the city hasn't seen since 2006 — making it a great time to buy.
Developer Lake Placid Group has already seen an overwhelming response to The Park's first phase, with over 55 per cent of homes sold. And while sales have been incredibly strong, there is still an opportunity to purchase one of the many unique floorplans.
Homes at The Park are currently selling from $249,900 for one-bedroom suites to $349,900 for a two-bedroom suite. The sales centre is open at 300A 17th Avenue SW in Calgary from 12 to 6pm on weekdays and 12pm to 5pm on the weekends.
