Radiation Effects Expert Martin Hauer-Jensen Invested in J. Thomas May Distinguished Endowed Chair in Oncology
Sept. 1, 2016 | The family of the late William E. "Bill" Clark has given $300,000 to establish a distinguished endowed chair in honor of J. Thomas May in which world-renowned radiation effects expert Martin Hauer-Jensen, M.D., Ph.D., was invested Aug. 29 at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).
Hauer-Jensen, a professor of pharmaceutical sciences, surgery and pathology, is director of the Division of Radiation Health in the UAMS College of Pharmacy.
A distinguished endowed chair is the highest academic honor a university can bestow on its faculty and is established with gifts of $1.5 million or more to support the educational, research and clinical activities of the chairholder. Those named to a chair are among the most highly regarded scientists, physicians and professors in their fields of expertise.
The J. Thomas May Distinguished Endowed Chair in Oncology was funded by the family of Clark, who was chairman and CEO of CDI Contractors in Little Rock, to honor his friend May, former CEO of Simmons First National Corp.
"The Clarks' generous gift ensures that UAMS can continue providing the highest quality oncology physicians and researchers in Arkansas. Bill Clark and Tommy May share a legacy of dedicated service," said UAMS Chancellor Dan Rahn, M.D. "Their friendship is a wonderful testimony to the importance of relationships and the power of two friends sharing a common goal to improve the future of health care for others."
An endowed chair was established in 2006 with $1 million from Bill and Margaret Clark. Bill Clark died of cancer one year later. The initial investment grew by $200,000 over the last decade. In June, Margaret Clark, and her son, William E. Clark II, chairman of the UAMS Foundation Fund Board, gave another $300,000 to elevate the chair to a distinguished endowed chair. It is the first distinguished endowed chair for a faculty member of the UAMS College of Pharmacy.
"We thank the Clark family from the bottom of our hearts for this additional gift. This will benefit our oncology program from now on into the future," said Peter Emanuel, M.D., executive director of the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute.
Bill Clark, a former member of the UAMS Foundation Fund Board, became friends with May when the two served together for nine years on the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees. "It was a friendship like I'd never seen before," Margaret Clark has said.
A resident of Pine Bluff, May has an extensive background in civic and community service, for which he has received numerous awards, and served on the UAMS Department of Psychiatry capital campaign steering committee. He holds an honorary doctorate of law from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
In addition to Rahn, Emanuel and William E. Clark II, speakers at the ceremony included Stephanie Gardner, Pharm.D., Ed.D., UAMS provost and chief academic officer; Keith M. Olsen, Pharm.D., dean of the College of Pharmacy; and James W. Hardin, Ph.D., chief scientific and administrative officer for SunEcoEnergy Inc., who formerly worked with Hauer-Jensen at the UAMS Cancer Institute. University of Arkansas System President Donald Bobbitt, Ph.D., was also in attendance.
Hauer-Jensen was presented with a commemorative medallion by Rahn and Olsen.
"I thank the Clark family and Tommy May for making this distinguished endowed chair possible, and Peter Emanuel for organizing it. I am looking forward to working with Dean Olsen to enhance the competitiveness of the Division of Radiation Health," Hauer-Jensen said.
"None of this would be possible without my family," he continued. "I've had many long nights, many business trips, and many weekends that I could not be with them, and I give them my sincere, heartfelt thanks."
Gardner, who was dean of the College of Pharmacy when Hauer-Jensen was recruited, praised his leadership and his work mentoring a new generation of researchers. "I have been looking forward to this day for almost a decade," Gardner said. "Martin's strong leadership and vision are what draw people to this division. He's not just an internationally recognized scientist; he's a visionary, a mentor, a leader, and a coach."
Hauer-Jensen is an internationally recognized authority on normal tissue radiation responses. His research focuses on determining mechanisms of injury and developing strategies to prevent adverse effects after radiation therapy in cancer patients, to make radiation therapy for cancer safer and more effective.
He joined the UAMS faculty in 1990 to launch a career in academic surgery. In 2008, Hauer-Jensen moved from the College of Medicine to the College of Pharmacy and was appointed associate dean for research and director of the newly formed Division of Radiation Health in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Hauer-Jensen is president of the Radiation Research Society and serves on numerous national and international advisory boards, review panels and editorial boards.
At UAMS, he co-leads the Host Response and Radiation Sciences program at the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute. He has been chair of the Radiation Study Section of the National Institutes of Health, a consultant on radiological emergencies to the World Health Organization, and a member of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements.
He has published more than 250 scientific papers and has received peer reviewed research funding for more than 20 years. He is the recipient of the coveted MERIT Award from the National Cancer Institute.

Talloires (; ) is a former commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Talloires-Montmin. Due to its setting on Lake Annecy Talloires has become a popular resort town not only since it has been rediscovered by a privileged society of artists and writers but also since the start of the 20th century when the place became a world-renowned location.

Geography
Talloires is located south of Geneva, Switzerland, on Lake Annecy and  south of the local "prefecture" Annecy, about 50 km from Switzerland and about 90 km from Italy. The town is situated in the French Alps, along a bay on the east side of the lake.

History
The area of Talloires has been settled since Neolithic times. In Roman times, Talloires was a stage on the consular road leading from Milan to Strasbourg; the town is however mentioned for the first time in the 9th century AD. In 1016 an abbey was founded here by King Rudolph III of Burgundy and monks from Savigny Abbey and Lyon. The now standing structures of the Abbey were built in 1681.  The famous chemist Claude Louis Berthollet was born in Talloires, then part of the Duchy of Savoy, in 1749.

Tourism
Talloires' mountainous landscapes and picturesque setting on Lake Annecy, medieval architecture, character, and summer and winter sports and activities, have created a small tourist industry in the village.

The summer activities in and around the Lake Annecy include sports (golf, water skiing, sailing, trekking in the surrounding Alps, tennis, canyoning, paragliding, horse back riding) and events (the annual Fête du Lac and Pyro Concerts).
The area has hosted stages of the Tour de France several times, including a time trial stage around the lake. Talloires is close to ski resorts Megève, Espace Diamant, and La Clusaz.

The village of Talloires is  away from Annecy, a city and major tourist destination. Annecy is three and a half hours from Paris on the TGV high-speed trains. Geneva International Airport is 50 minutes away on the A43 highway.

The primary business of the town is tourism, although it is still a complete community in its own right, with a central church, post office, bank, library, and a small general store.

Conferences and education
Several international conferences have been conducted in Talloires, especially within the sustainable development and educational communities. The town was the birthplace of "The Talloires Declaration: University presidents for a Sustainable Future," an influential declaration on actions required by university leaders to reverse "environmental pollution and degradation, and the depletion of natural resources."  Several conferences of the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University have been held in Talloires.

Talloires was also the site of a September 2005 conference on university civic engagement. This conference of 29 university presidents produced the Talloires Declaration on the Civic Roles and Social Responsibilities of Higher Education, which calls upon the university to "use the processes of education and research to respond to, serve and strengthen its communities for local and global citizenship." The declaration established the Talloires Network, an association of universities committed to advancing the principles of the declaration. As of July 2012, 247 universities have signed the declaration and have become members of the Talloires Network.

Tufts University maintains its European Center in the local 11th-century (former) Benedictine priory.  The priory serves as a conference center and campus for visiting college students.

A glimpse of Hellerau
Deutsche Werkstätten is situated in the idyllic 'garden city' of Hellerau. This avant-garde initiative of the 'life reform movement' was built at the start of the 20th Century around the Hellerau Festival Theatre and Deutsche Werkstätten, the cultural and industrial centre pieces.
At the company headquarters on Moritzburger Weg, you find two very different but equally remarkable buildings. First, the historical factory buildings of 1910, designed by the Arts and Crafts architect, Richard Riemerschmid.
It is worth pausing for a moment in the spacious courtyard with its prominent chestnut trees. The ideal spot from which to admire the impressive buildings, once an industrial hive and now providing some 15,000 square metres of multi-tenant office space. In fact, it was here that Fritz Straub first made the decision to take over Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau from the Trust.
On the other side of the road you move into the '21st Century'. The new company headquarters designed by Thomas Herzog, have been home to office and production facilities since 2006. The glass façade along the front of the building contributes to what is a truly 'open' office space. At the main entrance visitors are greeted with high gloss finished macassar panels framing the company logo - a demonstration of the 'perfect finish'.
Once inside the building, a portrait of Karl Schmidt, the founder of Deutsche Werkstätten and co-initiator of the garden city, is waiting to greet you. The large open-plan office is surprising in more ways than one. The atmosphere is calm and concentrated. It is not the hectic environment you would expect from a busy shared workspace. Furthermore, you would be forgiven for thinking you are in a gallery rather than an office. In fact, the Werkstätten Gallery has been a permanent feature since 1994, dedicated to art, design and music.

This central space provides the perfect setting for exhibitions and is also used to host regular concerts. The grand piano has centre stage. Should you wish to play, please go ahead. Moving through the glass doors from the office space to the vast production hall, the theme of transparency continues. People can move freely from one side to the other and it is always possible to look into the workshop from the office and vice versa. The workshop floor is organized in different areas of expertise. The first group of work benches belong to the apprentices. To be accepted at Deutsche Werkstätten for a three-year apprenticeship is a dream come true for all cabinet makers-to-be and when you see them at work in these surroundings it is easy to understand why. Further into the workshop you will most likely see large pieces in construction, perhaps even 1:1 models or mock-ups waiting to be inspected by a designer or be given final approval from the client.
Towards the back of the hall a dust free zone is dedicated to lacquering and finishes. Take a closer look at engineering details and material research with our experts in the research and development team in the DW laboratory. It is here that decisions are made about the feasibility and possible application of different materials and finishes. Before leaving the building, all visitors are invited to visit the current exhibition on display at the Werkstätten Gallery. Finally, if you would like to discuss your impressions, we can recommend the excellent restaurant in the Riemerschmid building across the street. Of course, the truth is that no manner of words or lengthy descriptions can replace a real-life visit. If you would like to find out more, please come and take a look for yourself. We look forward to welcoming you!

Agent infectieux normal des rongeurs sauvages, Rickettsia rickettsii est sporadiquement transmise à l'homme par la piqûre (ou l'écrasement) de la tique Dermacentor andersoni déterminant la "fièvre pourprée des montagnes rocheuses", fièvre exanthématique rurale et estivale, type des "fièvres pourprées du Nouveau-Monde".

Distribution géographique et importance

Au type d'étude décrit d'abord des vallées et du piémont (plaine alluviale au pied d'un édifice montagneux) des Montagnes Rocheuses, forme rare mais grave de l'Ouest des États-Unis, on a rattaché depuis les atteintes bénignes et fréquentes de l'Est des États-Unis et l'affection grave sud-américaine isolée, à tort, sous le nom de "typhus de Sao Paulo".

Avant l'antibiothérapie, "pourprée de l'Ouest" et "typhus de Sao Paulo" étaient redoutés, leur taux de mortalité atteignant souvent 90 %, alors qu'il ne dépassait pas 20 % dans les formes de l'Est des États-Unis. Actuellement, les formes traitées ne sont mortelles que dans 5 % des cas.

Clinique

Après une incubation muette d'une semaine en moyenne, l'invasion est brutale et spectaculaire, avec frissons, état vertigineux, vomissements et ascension thermique rapide à 40 °C.

La période d'état prend d'abord l'aspect d'une infection grave avec :
 fièvre en plateau presque parfait à 40 - 41 °C et pouls en rapport,
 faciès vultueux (rouge et gonflé), conjonctives injectées et photophobie, langue rôtie animée de trémulations, douleurs musculaires et articulaires généralisées et céphalées violentes
 tuphos (état de stupeur et d'abattement extrême) diurne très prononcé et para-comateux avec insomnies nocturnes.

Le tableau se complète le  ou  par l'apparition aux extrémités de l'exanthème caractéristique, bientôt généralisé même à la paume des mains et à la plante des pieds : macules roses, rouges puis pourprées, confluentes par places et bientôt purpuriques.

Un signe négatif : il n'y a pas de chancre d'inoculation.

Après 2 à 3 semaines d'évolution, la maladie non traitée se termine dans 80 à 90 % des cas par la mort dans le coma ou par défaillance cardiaque.

Les rares guérisons sont traînantes avec séquelles graves, myocardiques ou néphrétiques.

Depuis l'antibiothérapie, l'évolution est rapide vers une guérison normale, sauf dans 5 % des cas en moyenne.

Diagnostic

En zone d'endémie, il est assez facile. On éliminera surtout le typhus murin, moins grave dans sa symptomatologie.

Le laboratoire donnera une confirmation du "groupe des fièvres pourprées" en constatant l'agglutination du proteus X2.

Traitement

Le chloramphénicol était le médicament de choix en 1980.

Remittances and the Dutch Disease in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Dynamic Panel Approach
Emmanuel Owusu-Sekyere

Renee van Eyden
This paper investigates the effect of remittance inflows on the real exchange rate in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) using annual data from 1980 to 2008 for 34 SSA countries, generalised method of moments by Arellano and Bover (1995) and feasible generalised least squares by Parks (1967) and Kmenta (1971, 1986). We find that when cross-sectional dependence and individual effects are controlled for, remittances to SSA as a whole appreciate the underlying real exchange rate of recipient countries. However the Dutch-disease effect is not experienced via the loss of export competitiveness, because the exchange rate appreciation is mitigated by monetary policy positioning and overdependence on imports due to low levels of domestic production in these countries. We also find reverse causality between remittances and the real exchange rate.

Remove Confederate Flag Now
by Washington Informer June 25, 2015 October 30, 2020
By Jesse L. Jackson, Sr.
NNPA Columnist
The savage act of racial terrorism at Emanuel A.M.E. Church – Mother Emanuel – in Charleston, S.C., has been met with extraordinary expressions of faith in that community. Last Thursday, the victims' relatives offered the terrorist their forgiveness. On Sunday, Mother Emanuel's doors opened for regular services. Hatred and violence would not break the congregation's spirit.
The murderer, Dylann Roof, said his intent was to trigger a race war. He spat on and burned the American flag, but waved the Confederate flag. Naturally, this has revived the demand that the Confederate flag be taken down at the South Carolina state capitol. The flag is a symbol. It stands for secession, sedition, slavery, segregation and suppression of rights. That it flies at the state capitol expresses the failure to address racial division. Germany does not fly a Nazi flag. South Africa does not fly the flag of apartheid.
The flag is a symbol, but the agenda of the flag is very real. The flag agenda is to preserve states' rights over constitutional rights, racial divide over liberty and justice for all. The flag agenda demands that states, not the federal government, establish rules around voting. When the Supreme Court's conservative gang of five disemboweled the Voting Rights Act, a flood of measures designed to make voting harder for minorities, the poor and the elderly ensued.
The flag agenda asserts states' rights over national reform. The Supreme Court's conservative justices decided that states could refuse the expansion of Medicaid that was part of health care reform. Only one state of the former confederacy then accepted billions from the federal government that would expand health care for their citizens, boost their economy and aid their hospitals.
The flag agenda sustains our systemic system of criminal injustice, where African Americans are more likely to be stopped, more likely to be charged, more likely to be detained, more likely to be jailed and – as we have seen again and again – more likely to be at risk from the police that are supposed to protect them.
The flag agenda suppresses the right of workers to organize, the right to a living wage, a safe workplace, a healthy environment. The flag agenda impoverishes poor White workers by pitting them against poor Black workers.
Today, everyone is outraged at the killings, but there is not the same outrage that African Americans have the highest rates of infant mortality, unemployment, imprisonment, segregated housing and home foreclosures, segregated and underfunded public schools, poverty, heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, mental health issues, HIV/AIDS, denial of access to capital and more. The flag is a symbol, but the flag agenda is this institutionalized state of terror.
There was an urgency to identify and arrest Roof before he hurt anyone else, but there is not the same urgency to identify and arrest the current economic and political conditions – the institutional racism and structural injustices – before another generation is lost.
The flag should come down. It is deeply offensive that politicians who aspire to lead this nation as president are too cowardly to call for its removal, hiding behind states' rights, the poisonous doctrine that is the heart of the flag agenda.
But putting the flag in a museum is not enough. Dylann Roof is 21 years old. He was not alive when Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) existed or when South Africa was under apartheid. He was taught his hatreds; he wasn't born with them. His hatreds found deadly expression, but so too do the institutionalized injustices that are not limited to South Carolina.
Racism requires a remedy. We need a White House conference on racial justice and urban policy to offer a vision and a policy to deal with our structural injustice. Remove the flag, of course. But we need the president and the Congress to challenge the flag agenda.

Show your school spirit! Class members use instruments or sing along and employ what they have learned in the two previous lessons to perform their school's songs.
Kids think about pop music and pop culture as they analyze both. They group up and write a review of a favorite pop singer or song for the school paper. They discuss pop music as a class and then analyze a song for specific music elements.


Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, who co-founded Instagram eight years ago, are leaving the service's parent company, Facebook.
The news of their departure comes from The New York Times, and is corroborated by a statement from Systrom. The duo have resigned from the company and will leave in the coming weeks.
Although Systrom and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had only kind words for each other following this move, Bloomberg reports that there was tension between the Instagram co-founders and their boss over the direction that the app would take, particularly around the time it was allegedly forced to copy Snapchat's ephemeral content format in the form of Instagram Stories. TechCrunch's sources note that this stress was exacerbated by Zuckerberg's wresting of autonomy from Systrom and Krieger.
Instagram has come a long way since it first evolved from a location check-in app called Burbn into a photo sharing network back in 2010. It was sold to Facebook for $1 billion a couple of years later, and is closing in on a billion users worldwide – making it the third largest social network on the planet.
Naturally, it's an incredibly valuable part of Facebook's business. And now that it's without a CEO and CTO (and a COO too – Marne Levine quit that position earlier this month to lead partnerships at Facebook), it's future is uncertain.
It's also worrying to note the duo's departure at this time, as it follows numerous recent resignations from other top executives at Facebook. WhatsApp's co-founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton have left the company, as did Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos. And last year, Oculus founder Palmer Luckey resigned amid legal tussles over whether he indeed invented the VR hardware he sold to Facebook.
As Krieger noted, few social networks ever hit the billion-user mark, and that's a sign of the tremendous impact Instagram has had on the world. I can't wait to see what he and Systrom dream up next.

Harvard's Futuristic "Intelligent Bandages" Can Repair Your Body
The drugs are deployed via a smartphone.
by Patrick Caughill / October 05 2017
Healing Arsenal
Bandaging technology has come a long way in the almost 100 years since Band-Aids were first introduced. Now, researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Harvard Medical School, and MIT are ready to usher in the next century of wound care with a smart bandage whose individual fibers store medications that can be deployed using a smartphone or another mobile device.
Click to View Full Infographic
The bandage is made up of electrically conductive fibers that are coated in a gel that can house medications — anything from antibiotics to painkillers in any effective combination. Individual fibers can then be activated via voltage from a connected microcontroller no larger than a postage stamp using a connected mobile device.
"This is the first bandage that is capable of dose-dependent drug release," Ali Tamayol, assistant professor of mechanical and materials engineering at Nebraska, explained in a press release. "You can release multiple drugs with different release profiles. That's a big advantage in comparison with other systems. What we did here was come up with a strategy for building a bandage from the bottom up."
Bring on the Biotech
As Tamayol noted in the press release, "This is a platform that can be applied to many different areas of biomedical engineering and medicine." Not only could it be useful for dealing with battlefield injuries, it could also help in the treatment of chronic wounds, which are common in patients living with diabetes.
An estimated 25 million Americans could be experiencing these wounds right now, and as Tamayol explains, "The medical cost associated with these types of wounds is tremendous. So there is a big need to find solutions for that."
This isn't the only next-generation bandage in development, either. A team from Swansea University's Institute of Life Science has created bandages loaded with nanoscale sensors that can instantly transmit health information to medical professionals using 5G wireless data. Heat-responsive bandages that cause wounds to heal faster are also in the works.
Technology is providing us with remarkable ways to enhance our natural biological processes, and this emerging field will create new avenues of treatment for medical professionals to consider. Some are even experimenting with the use of tech to revive brain dead individuals.
However, most of these technologies are in their infancy and will take time to develop before they are approved for widespread use. In the interim, we can look forward to a time when technology and human biology work together to create a healthier world.

A booming personal loan book and strong sales of luxury second-hand watches and jewellery lifted pawnbroker H & T Group PLC (LON:HAT) last year.
Group profits jumped 45% to £14.1mln in 2107, helped by a near doubling of personal lending to £18.3mln while average impairment charges were also lower.
WATCH: H&T Group Plc continuing to grow after 'milestone year'
In pawnbroking, the pledge book rose by 11% over the year to £43.4mln outstanding on average.
Online jewellery was also strong said John Nichols, chief executive, with sales through the est1897.co.uk website rising ten-fold to £1mln.
After a sharp rise in the sterling price of gold immediately following Brexit, the pound has rallied and the effect was reversed in 2017 even though there was a rise in the amount of gold scrapped.
Nichols added H&T has taken steps to reduce exposure to gold price volatility in future.
Personal loans and our est1897.co.uk online jewellery sales were particular highlights, he added, and "there is significant scope to continue to grow these aspects of the business".
"We have produced a strong trading performance which is due in no small part to the initiatives which we have implemented over the past few years."
Current trading for 2018 is in line with management expectations, the statement added.

Stop me if you have heard this before but H&T GROUP PLC (LON:HAT) has again raised profits guidance for the year just ended.
The pawnbroker had a strong fourth quarter and now expects full-year profit before tax to be above current market expectations.
READ: Pawnbroker H&T to beat full-year forecasts as strong trading momentum continues into second half
The fourth quarter saw the pledge book rise to £46.1mln, up 11.1% from the £41.3mln at the end of 2016, as a result of the higher gold price, the group's concession format and an increase in loans on quality watches.
The personal loans book shot up by 94.7% to £18.3mln from £9.4mln at the end of the previous year as a result of H&T's expansion of its longer-term, lower interest rate loan product.
"We have made real progress in delivering the strategy in the past year. We have expanded the range of personal loan products available to enable our customers to access cheaper loans and provide an opportunity to rebuild their credit score," said John Nichols, the chief executive of H&T.
"We have improved retail through an expanded range of new jewellery and the development of both click-and-collect and online sales," he added.
READ: Brokers raise forecasts after strong first half from H&T
Numis Securities responded by raising its 2017 profit before tax (PBT) forecast once again, from £12.8mln to £13.6mln.
Based on this year's projected earnings per share, the shares trade on a multiple of just 10 times earnings, and the broker remains positive on the shares, encouraged as it is by the stability of the pledge book income, forecast momentum and clear progress in personal loans (PL).
"We continue to see the PL book as a significant incremental growth opportunity for H&T, and have been impressed with the way this new revenue stream has been developed and integrated into the group," Numis said, as it reiterated its 'add' recommendation and 375p price target.
"Looking into FY18, we forecast PBT to increase to £14.5m. Although core Pawnbroking interest income is likely to see muted growth, we expect profit growth to be firmly underpinned by the full-year effect of improvements to the Retail operation and, most significantly, continued progress in the Personal Loan book," the broker said.
Shares in H&T were up 4.1% at 340p.

Pawnbroker H&T Group PLC (LON:HAT) enjoyed a "milestone year" in 2017 and is confident about the future as it invests in its products, staff and online offering to meet strong demand.
In the year ended 31 December 2017, the company saw gross profits jump 45% to £14.1mln thanks to a booming personal loan book and robust sales of luxury second-hand watches and jewellery.
Personal lending nearly doubled to £18.3mln while average impairment charges were also lower last year.
In pawnbroking, the pledge book rose by 11% to £43.4mln, supported by a higher gold price an increase in loans on quality watches.
Online jewellery was also strong with sales through the est1897.co.uk website rising ten-fold to £1mln.
Chief executive John Nichols said: "This has been a milestone year for H&T."
He added: "Personal loans and our est1897.co.uk online jewellery sales are particular highlights, and there is significant scope to continue to grow these aspects of the business."
H&T responds to changing marketplace
Nichols said the group's solid trading performance last year has come on the back of initiatives taken over the past few years.
The company has been refining its core operations and developing its credit and online services in response to a changing marketplace.
"Over the past few years our marketplace has changed dramatically," Nichols said.
"We have adapted to this new environment, investing heavily in our staff, diversifying our product suite, building out our online proposition and realigning aspects of our business to reflect our customer base."
H&T has also taken steps to reduce its exposure to the gold price volatility it has experienced since the Brexit vote.
Following a sharp rise in the sterling price of gold immediately after the Brexit vote, the pound has rallied and the effect was reversed in 2017 despite a rise in the amount of gold scrapped.
"Challenges remain, but we can look to the future with growing confidence," Nichols said.
A long history
H&T, over 100 years old, is a simple business to understand, with pawnbroking lending as its core.
Much of the reason for its success and survival has been a willingness to branch out into other areas, such as personal loans, foreign exchange and retail.
The group remains committed to its High Street retail offering, and its H&T brand is the leading pawnbroking business in the UK, with stores across the nation.
In 2014, the group created its est1897 brand – the H&T Group (once known as Harvey & Thompson) has been around since 1897 – to sell antique, vintage and retro jewellery that looks as good as new.
"I think we can do much better (with est1897) and link it in more particularly with our online offering," Nichols told Proactive, meaning people will be able to look on the internet and order jewellery to be delivered to a store or at home.
A split between bricks and clicks, he explained.
Though late to the e-commerce party, Nichols said H&T is now catching up.
The loan arranger
H&T's personal loan product allows for loans of up to £5,000 over any term of up to three years based on affordability.
The group believes its personal loan product is cheaper and more flexible than most of the competition's offerings, and each loan is manually vetted.
It intends to reduce the proportion of HCSTC loans over time as it expands its lower annual percentage rate, longer-term loans for its customers.
Meanwhile, the group's "buyback" division is attracting a younger demographic, typically 18-24 year-olds who have been cashing in electrical items and mobile phones.
H&T strategy paying off, says broker
Broker Numis has H&T on an 'add' rating with a target price of 400p and believes the company's strategy is bearing fruit.
"We continue to be impressed by the controlled manner in which H&T has both diversified its revenue streams, and maintained momentum in its core pawnbroking operation against a difficult industry backdrop," Numis said.
"With the shares trading on 10.5x FY18 price-to-earnings ratio, we see more to go for as H&T continues to reap the rewards of its successful investments and initiatives."

The higher gold price gave a turbo boost to a business that was already motoring at pawnbroker H & T Group PLC (LON:HAT).
Profit before tax in the first half of 2017 rose 62.2% to £6.0mln from £3.7mln the year before.
Gold purchasing profits increased to £1.8mln from £1.5mln the previous year, on the back of increased volumes of gold scrapped, up 47.7% to £6.5mln from £4.4mln.
WATCH: A 'good strong start' to 2017 for H&T Group
Revenue rose to £49.05mln from £42.39mln in the corresponding period of 2016, with growth seen in all key segments.
The 87.3% growth in the personal loans book to £11.8mln (2016: £6.3mln) caught the eye, and chief executive John Nichols said there is scope for this sort of growth to be maintained.
"A combination of competitive pricing and increasing awareness has seen us establish ourselves in this market and customers are now actively seeking us out," Nichols said.
In the core pawnbroking business, the gross pledge book rose 10.8% to £43.2mln from £39.0mln in the first half of 2016.
The higher gold price enabled the group to increase the lending rate per gram by around 9%, while H&T has seen an improvement in the quality watch segment of the book.
Net debt at the end of the reporting period stood at £11.5mln, up from £6.9mln a year earlier.
The interim dividend has been hiked by a little more than 10% to 4.3p from 3.9p.
Initiatives beginning to bear fruit
"The results reflect a series of initiatives beginning to bear fruit and a favourable gold price," CEO John Nichols said.
"We have also broadened our product suite with the launch of our personal loan product providing APRs of less than 50%. This has taken many of our loyal customers on a journey which is now seeing them access longer term, lower cost loans.
"We have also expanded our collection of high-end watches and the investment we have made in the est1897.co.uk website means we are now well placed to cement our position in this marketplace. This is a milestone year in the history of H&T and the enhancements we have made across our business, which have redefined the pawnbroking model, allow us to look to the future with confidence," he added.
House broker Numis Securities responded to the half-year update by raising its full-year profit before tax forecast to £11.6mln from £10.8mln.
"Encouraged by the stability in the pledge book income stream, easing competitive backdrop, and clear progress in Personal Loans, we remain positive on H&T, continuing to believe that the business is successfully diversifying its revenue streams and building its business despite a challenging core pawnbroking market," Numis said, as it reiterated its 'add' recommendation on the stock.
Meanwhile, broker finnCap said the results were ahead of its expectations and it expects to upgrade its full-year profits and earnings per share estimates by around 5%.
"This has been a milestone year for the company and the outlook statement is confident; however, this is not reflected in the share price, which has declined 6% while Ramsden has appreciated 68%. This is an opportunity for investors in a neglected stock," the broker said.
The shares were up 8.7% at 291.25 in mid-morning trading.

Reversing field, Boeing rival will base A320 successor on them
JAMES WALLACE, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER AEROSPACE REPORTER
Airbus will follow The Boeing Co.'s lead and build a plane with a composite fuselage, despite earlier suggesting that such construction wasn't safe because no one had done it before.
At a news conference Monday in Paris, the co-chief executive of EADS said that Airbus plans to develop a new generation of planes to replace its A320 family and that they will be built with light-weight composites.
"Today, we are actively preparing the launch -- at a date I'm not going to reveal -- of new generations of medium-range aircraft with fuselages that are mostly made of composite materials with very low-cost production," Noel Forgeard was quoted by Agence France-Presse as telling reporters.
Forgeard, the former chief executive of Airbus, is now co-chief executive of the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co., which owns 80 percent of Airbus.
Airlines want lighter planes because of the high cost of aviation fuel, he said.
"If kerosene is very expensive, what is important is to have an ultralight plane... ," he said.
Composites are layers of carbon fiber material used to make products ranging from lighter golf clubs and tennis rackets to Formula One race cars. They have been used widely on the wings and tails of commercial jetliners, but with the introduction of the 787 in 2008, Boeing will be the first to use composites for a large commercial jetliner fuselage.
Forgeard's apparent embrace of a composite fuselage for an A320 replacement was interesting because the company has said that the technology has not yet advanced far enough to make that leap.
In a report last week about composites in The Times of London, an Airbus spokesman was quoted as saying: "Boeing has missed out on several smaller steps in using composites, so it is trying to do it in one giant leap. There is a certain amount of risk that goes with that."
Airbus pioneered the use of composites on a commercial jetliner with the tail fin of its A310 in 1985. It will make the wings of its A350, a midsize jet that will compete against the 787, of composite material.
But the A350, scheduled to enter service in 2010, won't have a composite fuselage. Instead, the fuselage will be made of an advanced aluminum alloy that Airbus says will be much less dense, and therefore lighter, than aluminum.
Nor is Airbus using composites for the fuselage of its A380 superjumbo. The fuselage will use both metal and a material called Glare, which is made up of alternating lawyers of aluminum sheets and glass fiber reinforced bond film.
In response to criticism from Airbus about the 787 composite fuselage, Walt Gillette, head of the 787 development program, has said it is really Airbus that is taking a chance by using Glare instead of composites, which have been used on military and commercial jets for many years
The tail structure of Boeing's 777 is made of the same composite material that will be used for the 787 airframe, and it has never had a maintenance issue, Gillette noted.
Boeing has already made several fuselage test barrels in Seattle and in Wichita, Kan., to demonstrate production methods needed for the 787. The one-piece, carbon-fiber fuselage barrels -- some on the 787 will be more than 40 feet long -- are baked in huge ovens known as autoclaves.
The end result is a pressure vessel that has fewer parts and weighs about 20 percent less than one made of aluminum.
In addition to the 787, Boeing's product development team is already studying a composite replacement for the single-aisle 737 family of jets. In an interview with the Seattle P-I last month, Boeing Commercial Airplanes boss Alan Mulally said a 737 replacement could be ready for airlines as soon as 2012, though it's more likely to be between 2013 and 2015.
But Boeing and Airbus have a lot on their plates that must come off before they can be expected to take on the development costs of another new jet.
Boeing must get its 787 in service by mid-2008, and then develop the bigger 787-9 by 2010. The even bigger 787-10 would follow, probably in 2012.
In addition to the 787, Boeing is developing a bigger jumbo jet, the 747-8, which will use the 787 engines and is scheduled to enter service in 2009. Boeing is also developing a freighter version of the 777-200LR.
Airbus must get its A380 into service by the end of this year. The plane is already six months late. And Airbus must develop the A350-800 followed by the bigger A350-900 before it can take on an A320 replacement. It is also studying a bigger A380.
Early on, when Boeing announced that the 787 fuselage would be composite, many airlines expressed concerns, especially about "ramp rash"-- when an airplane is hit and damaged by equipment while parked at an airport.
Airlines considering the 787 wondered how ramp workers could spot damage to a composite fuselage and how easily and quickly ramp damage could be repaired.
Boeing's sales team soon hit the road with a large piece of the composite material that will be used on the 787 and asked airline executives to smash it with a large hammer. They did, repeatedly, and found they could not damage it.
Next, Boeing came up with what it said would be a quick and easy fix if a 787 fuselage were damaged at an airport.
Airlines did ask Boeing to increase the thickness of the composite material on the 787 around areas such as doors, which typically receive the most ramp damage.
Many industry experts believe the 787 will give Boeing a big advantage over Airbus when it comes time to develop jets to replace the 737 and A320. That's because Boeing will be able to take lessons learned from the 787 and apply them to its next new jet.

I have to start by saying a huge thanks to all the staff at Harvey's Point who went beyond the call of duty to make us all feel comfortable and relaxed. They spoilt us actually! Thanks to the adorable gentleman that is Noel Cunningham and my skincare expert Peggy Stringer who made it happen.
The food was way beyond my expectations and I really couldn't have hosted the 3 and a half hour long show without the help of Noel Cunningham on stage and Sheila Russell behind the scenes.
Thanks too to Zab Malik (zabevents.ie) and Laura Kelly who were my right hand man – and woman – throughout.
I could still be there, on stage in the beautiful setting of Harvey's Point, chatting and sharing and laughing. I don't think any of us wanted the night to end. Everyone used the opportunity to ask our 'experts' questions in skincare (Peggy Stringer, Monkstown Laser Skin Clinic), Non-invasive treatment Ultherapy (Dr. Garrett Brady, Lowell Medical Clinic) and ATIR Shapewear (Rita) and share their own concerns – which is a huge part of what the night is all about for me. I gather the 'experts' so you can have access to them. They are there FOR YOU!
The award winning Hair Stylist Rossa Danagher (Rossano's Hair Group, Donegal, Ballyshannon and Sligo) created 3 DIY looks on models with varying hair lengths and Janice Doherty (SometimesJenny) showed us how to apply a quick & easy make-up party look.
Then we had one of my favourite fashion shows to date featuring the incredible new collection from Deborah Veale who opened the show, McElhinneys (I wore a Kevan Jon dress from McElhinneys on the night too – I adore their labels), Magees (the only place for tweed – their new younger, contemporary cuts are out of this world), Divine Boutique (who I have invited on the entire Keane On Style tour as Mary Greene stocks labels to suit all ages, sizes and budgets), Aria V Jewellery (My favourite designer of one-off pieces, hand crafted in Ireland with semi precious stones), the fabulous award-winning Milliner Suzie Mahony, The Style Room showcased two of their labels Friendtex and Once which Stella stocks exclusively in Ireland, Rosewoods (who have a great selection of accessories to match all outfits in store too), Marion Murphy Cooneys stunning ready to wear collection, and newly opened Pearls & Lace closed the show with an exquisite collection of bridal and party dresses.
It was a joy, as always, to work with Lockdown Models – they are beautiful women inside and out! Looking forwarding to doing it all again in the City North Hotel, 15 minutes from Dublin airport (Exit 7, M1), 30th January girls!


Oh I am so behind on this blog. But here is where I try to catch up.
One day, early in the second half of 2015, I received a magical email. The name marked as 'sender' was Angela Meyer, Commissioning Editor at Echo Publishing. The email's subject was Ghost Girls.
I opened the email fast, tore my eyes along the few brief lines.
As any writer knows, rejection is part of the deal. It is subjective and it often serves to cut the wheat from the chaff – not so much in terms of written word value, but in relation to siphoning out the truly dedicated workers from the rest. A writing life takes years and decades of writing. With each draft, each new work, each new page, a writer becomes stronger. Writers who use rejection as an excuse to stop pushing never give themselves the chance to develop and eventually succeed.
In the writing world rejection serves as a strengthener: it either make you flail or it hardens you and make you more determined.
When I read Angela Meyer's email and learned that she and the Echo Publishing team wanted to publish my book, I was elated. It was a beautiful feeling. I read those few short lines over and over, my heart pounding, my breath quick and short. I phoned my husband and he almost started to cry. He knew how much my book meant to me.
A few days later came the fear. Ghost Girls would be a published novel. Other people would read it. Everybody would have an opinion. What if it wasn't well liked? What if it got canned? What if this positive experience, one that I'd dreamed about for so long, turned sour and negative?
I went to a crime writing awards night. 'How are you feeling?' asked writer Angela Savage. 'Scared,' I said. She looked at me and I registered a recognition in her eyes. 'Don't be,' she said. 'You've written a novel.' I looked around the room and realised I was surrounded by other women who had also written novels. I realised I had found a community of people who had been through the same experience. I started to talk.
In the time since then, almost nine months, I've experienced a beautiful editing process, been delighted and inspired by the design for the cover of my book and learnt about the intricacies of typesetting and proofreading. All of these processes have helped me to make Ghost Girls the best it can be. By the time it was finished and ready for printing, I no longer felt scared. The book is what it was meant to be and I am happy.
But these last few months have also been about friendship and community building. Talking to other writers about their experiences of publication, both positive and negative. I've had time to reflect on my fears and talk to other writers about theirs. This community building, like rejection and criticism and also the small successes along the way, is a part of the writing life that helps make a writer stronger.
I'm now at the point where Ghost Girls is trucking out to bookshops. I'm yet to hold it in my hands, but I've been fortunate to have received a few early reviews. I still rip my eyes through the text, scanning for the 'kicker' words. Fortunately, I've not yet been kicked in the teeth. This of course may still happen, but I no longer feel scared. I feel ownership now. And I feel supported by a generous community of writers.
My book, like a real baby, took about nine months from contract to publication. It's the perfect amount of time to complete the strengthening work – of both words and mind – that is so important.

Loaded up on my Bambino stock during the holiday sale, and it came just in time for the first SIDF of the year! Yay!
Hope I dream big wearing a "Little Dreamer" tonight.
Friday's? Piece of cake. I wear a diaper every night so I can get a good nights sleep and not have to get up to go pee 3-4 times. Relax, go, right back to sleep.
I had ordered some new diapers to replenish my stash. I waited for SIDF to try them for the first time. My wife taped me up then zipped and buttoned me into my LSK. Made for a special night all around.
I didn't participate because I was feeling adult meh feelings about boring adult things. Didn't feel little at all.
I've never been able to wear a diaper for the whole night. I usually sleep for about an hour, wake up, and not be able to sleep. After an hour or so I give up and take it off.
I used to be the same, even after living on my own. I didn't try very consistently to be able to sleep in diapers, so it took me years to get there. I think if I had really made the effort, I'd have worked it out in a few weeks. The bulk and the shifting of padding kept waking me up. Cloth diapers helped make this an easier transition but I would have gotten there regardless. I sleep the same now in or out of diapers. You'll get there.
Wore an Always Discreet Boutique pullup last Friday, and I'm wearing a "normal" Always Discreet pullup tonight. I find the Boutique is softer, but the regular type are stretchier and more crinkly, which reminds me somewhat of the older GoodNites in a way.
Not my first, but drunk and happily diapered in a Dry 24x7.
I may or may not participate this time around. I need to be up very early Saturday for an event.
Tomorrow is the next official "Sleep In Diapers Friday".
I sleep in nappies every friday night in fact every night.

Ever heard of "shorting the dollar"? I don't know a whole lot about financial investing, but I do know that there are people who invest in other currencies, hoping the dollar will continue to decrease in order to increase their own wealth.
"Well, that's not very nice," you might be saying. But there may be a lesson to be learned from them. What these people are actually doing is looking at a bigger picture. They examine the way the dollar is functioning in the global economy and then make an educated investment. These guys recently made billions.
We too, need to be looking at the big picture and become wise investors today -- but not just in earthly opportunities. Yes, we need to be wise stewards of the finances God has entrusted to us. Perhaps God is calling us to be a Joseph, storing up goods to help others in future hardships. That is our heart's desire here in the Land. But most importantly, we need to step up as believers and realize how the investments we now make in prayer and sharing the Gospel transform into eternal investments -- with a guaranteed rate of return that will exceed our wildest imagination!
Let's not settle for small-time investments -- let's get serious about investing in the Kingdom of God!
Dear Lord, help us not settle for little things but instead go for the big investments in the kingdom. Help us to invest in the lives around us so that they too can be part of Your family. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.


Unfortunately, I didn't stick to the plan of drinking my water everyday, and I can really feel it atm  I can tell that I'm dehydrated.
Surprisingly, even though I thought I'd not stuck to the low carb WOE strictly and would gain all my weight back, I only had a 300gm weight gain – much better than I thought!
The plan for this week is to get back on the low carb WOE, and to continue adding to my exercise each day.


Sameer Dighe's selection to the national team was a controversial one. At 31, Dighe had all but given up hopes of a career in cricket and was studying in the USA when the call came. Shortly after the Indian team's departure to Australia in the 1999-2000 season, Dighe was picked to don the gloves in the one-dayers. In the limited-overs games he played, Dighe bagged seven catches and one stumping in eight matches. In one game against Pakistan, Dighe shone with four catches. However, it was not until Australia toured India in 2000-01 that Dighe got his first taste of Test cricket. Playing the decisive third and final Test against Australia at Chennai, Dighe had an ordinary time behind the wickets. However, with the Test winding to an exciting climax, Dighe found himself at the crease with the tail on the final day. Batting through a tense session that saw Glenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie steaming down, Dighe made a courageous unbeaten 22 as India recorded a historic 2-1 series win. At the preparatory camp for the Indian tour of Zimbabwe, Indian captain Sourav Ganguly remarked that Dighe would be India's first choice wicketkeeper. The skipper stayed true to his word and Dighe was picked as stumper for the Tests and one-dayers in Zimbabwe in mid 2001. Without being spectacular, Dighe performed his duties satisfactorily keeper and batsman. Promoted to open the innings in the second innings of the second Test at Harare, Dighe managed just 4. However, his ability with the bat came to the fore in the final of the Coca-Cola Cup in Zimbabwe, when the Mumbaikar slammed an unbeaten 94 in a losing cause against the West Indies. This is the highest score by a specialist keeper for India in One-Dayers and has earned Dighe the mantle of first choice keeper for the tour of Sri Lanka in July-August 2001.
