from Bronx, NY
September 13, 1978 (age 43)
Producer, rapper, DJ and songwriter Swizz Beatz was the force behind countless hits in the early 2000s and beyond, his boundary-pushing approach to production helping to shape the sound of rap over several eras. Working with Ruff Ryders Records from the early days of the label, he produced hits for DMX, Eve, Styles-P and other Ruff Ryders artists, paving the way for work with Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, and other rap superstars. A 2002 compilation, G.H.E.T.T.O. Stories, would further highlight his unique studio style and the years that followed saw him working with top-shelf artists ranging from T.I. and Cassidy to Whitney Houston and Beyonce. A Swizz Beatz solo album, One Man Band Man, arrived in 2007, allowing the beatmaker to flex his chops as a rapper. As the next wave of talent crested, the producer stayed connected, working with new megastars like Drake and Nicki Minaj while staying close to longtime creative partners like Jadakiss into the 2010s. A second solo album, Poison, was slated for a November 2018 release.
Swizz Beatz was born Kasseem Dean in the Bronx borough of New York City. He relocated to Atlanta as a teenager, where he started to DJ parties. When his relatives became involved with the Ruff Ryders label, he began to produce tracks at the tender age of 16. Rather than relying on samples, he developed a sound based on live instruments (in particular two specific vintage keyboards) and tried to accentuate the performance aspect of his music. One of his earliest beats became DMX's 1998 hit "Ruff Ryder's Anthem," and he went from there to produce hits for Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Eve, Memphis Bleek, and many others. The late '90s and early 2000s were busy for Dean, as he crafted hits for other artists and also worked on shaping his own label, Full Surface Records, which officially launched in 2001. The label would become home for newly discovered talent Cassidy, as well as releases from Yung Wun, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Mashonda. Full Surface also released Swizz Beatz's 2002 compilation album, G.H.E.T.T.O. Stories, and his 2007 record One Man Band Man, an album of completely original solo material. The dawn of the 2010s saw the producer branching out into fashion design and art collecting on top of his already busy musical pursuits. He began work on a second solo album in 2008, but in 2012 spoke publicly about a shift in his preference as an artist to only release singles and not full albums. Along with a marriage to songwriter Alicia Keys, Dean worked with Drake, Chris Brown, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, and many others as the decade burned on, along with issuing many of his own singles. Despite his public stance on singles vs. albums, Swizz Beatz's second solo album, Poison was announced in 2018, slated for release late that year. He had recorded more than 70 songs for it, including collaborations with everyone from Kendrick Lamar to Bono. Ultimately, Poison's track listing was narrowed down to just ten and featured cameo appearances from Lil Wayne, Nas, Young Thug, and many others of rap's best-known stars. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi

PrEP programmes & uptake
Dutch study finds out whether gay men prefer daily or on-demand PrEP

In Europe, whether through national programmes or in trials, people are more often than not being given the choice of taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) daily or intermittently ("event-driven" or "on-demand" PrEP). The French national rollout programme offers this choice as does the one recently set up by Scotland. The large implementation study hopefully soon to start in England will offer this choice too.
"Our study underscores the importance of offering a choice that fits changing personal risk and adherence strategies among PrEP users." Hanne Zimmermann
No research, however, has yet been done into why people might prefer daily or on-demand PrEP. So a substudy of the AmPrEP demonstration project located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, decided to investigate this.
AmPrEP started in June 2015 and rapidly enrolled 376 men who have sex with men. It is due to finish in December 2018 by which time it is hoped that a Dutch national PrEP programme will be in place. Clinics elsewhere in the country are also increasingly offering free monitoring to people who are buying generic PrEP off the net.
AmPrEP's Hanne Zimmermann told the 9th International AIDS Society Conference (IAS 2017) that they had interviewed all AmPrEP participants about their motives for choosing daily or on-demand PrEP when they entered the study, and also interviewed them if, at one of their regular three-months clinic visits, they asked to change from daily to on-demand PrEP or vice versa, or decided to stop it temporarily or permanently. Interviews were conducted between August 2015 and February 2017 and more are ongoing.
Motives for choosing or switching regimens were coded into themes, and people could choose a number of different motives, so the figures below may add up to more than 100%.
At baseline, 273 participants (72.6%) chose daily PrEP while 103 chose 'on-demand' PrEP.
Find out more in our About HIV pages
During the study, up to February 2017, 44 of 103 participants (43%) have switched from on-demand to daily PrEP; 39 of 273 (14%) from daily to on-demand PrEP; 18 participants (5%) have stopped permanently; and 99 (26%) have decided at some point to stop and then restart.
At baseline, the most common reasons participants gave for choosing daily PrEP were (all reasons cited by over 10% of respondents counted): wanting daily structure (32%); anticipating adherence problems with on-demand PrEP 31%); and knowing that they'd have frequent or unplanned sex (19%).
The most common reasons for choosing on-demand PrEP were: they usually planned their sex (42%); they only had risky sex occasionally (28%); they were worried about the toxicity of daily PrEP (19%); or they anticipated adherence problems with daily PrEP (10%). One person who said he planned his sex said: "I rely on sex parties as I cannot get sex in general. So I know when I'll be at risk."
More news from Netherlands
When switching from on-demand to daily PrEP, the reasons for requesting this were as follows: risk behaviour was increasing (26%); planning sex was more difficult than anticipated (20%); they wanted more structure (17%); they had experienced actual side-effects with on-demand PrEP (15%); and their risk was already high (11%). A number of participants across these categories also talked about 'partner solidarity'; having either an HIV-positive partner taking daily antiretroviral therapy or a partner on daily PrEP.
When switching from daily to on-demand PrEP the most common reasons were: they were having less sex than anticipated (30%); they had developed an aversion to taking PrEP daily (25%); they had experienced actual side-effects to daily PrEP (20%); and they were seeking a better match with their lifestyle (15% – included among these were people who had a partner taking on-demand PrEP). Notably, few people switching in either direction cited adherence problems as the reason to switch. One person said "It's still medication: I'd rather not have it in my body if I don't need it." Another said "I went to the countryside where there are no gays, so no chances of having sex."
A minority of people (4%) starting or switching to daily PrEP gave having more sexual freedom as the reason for their choice. One said "I'd prefer to maintain my ability to have spontaneous sexual encounters." Conversely, 4% of people switching to on-demand PrEP, and one person choosing it in the first place, chose it specifically as an inhibitor: they anticipated or experienced their sexual risk behaviour increasing on daily PrEP and didn't like it. One said: "Event-driven PrEP makes you think [about your sex life], and then you don't go all crazy."
More news from IAS 2017
The reasons given by the relatively small number of men who stopped permanently were overwhelmingly either the experience of unacceptable side-effects (eight people, 40%) and either reduced sexual risk (six people, 30%) or changed circumstances (two people, 10%). One person said they had made a decision to return to condom use ("I prefer not to take medication to prevent something you can also use condoms for") while another was concerned about the effect of PrEP on increasing his risk behaviour ("[I] noticed that [I was] increasingly going to extremes because of multiple circumstances; PrEP was one of them.")
In relation to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), on-demand dosing is an alternative term for event-based dosing. See 'event based'.
In relation to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), this dosing schedule involves taking PrEP just before and after having sex. It is an alternative to daily dosing that is only recommended for people having anal sex, not vaginal sex. A double dose of PrEP should be taken 2-24 hours before anticipated sex, and then, if sex happens, additional pills 24 hours and 48 hours after the double dose. In the event of sex on several days in a row, one pill should be taken each day until 48 hours after the last sexual intercourse.
risky behaviour
In HIV, refers to any behaviour or action that increases an individual's probability of acquiring or transmitting HIV, such as having unprotected sex, having multiple partners or sharing drug injection equipment.
In relation to medicines, a drug manufactured and sold without a brand name, in situations where the original manufacturer's patent has expired or is not enforced. Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients as branded drugs, and have comparable strength, safety, efficacy and quality.
Side-effects.
Finally, the reasons given by the larger number of people who stopped PrEP temporarily were very similar to those who switched to on-demand PrEP: they found difficulties in adhering to daily PrEP (40); or they had periods of no sex (28%). Twenty-three per cent stopped because of a period of illness; this included having another STI. Five people mentioned entering a monogamous relationship.
Hanne Zimmermann commented: "Our study underscores the importance of offering a choice that fits changing personal risk and adherence strategies among PrEP users. Both event-driven and daily regimen offer viable solutions.
"Essential for successful implementation will be a tailored approach, in which choices for PrEP regimens are addressed as a continuum of flexible and changeable choices over time."

The aroma of savory roast beef greeted guests as they arrived at St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church for a performance at the First Friday Concert Series.
It lingered in the hallway as they walked past wall posters printed with the church's 160-plus years of history, engaged in friendly chatting. The crowd, many from assisted living communities, filed into the pews in the sanctuary, eager to hear the stirring music of organist Rob Jenkins, who was waiting patiently in the balcony above them.
As Jenkins began with the works of Bach and moved into Handel, his image was broadcast onto large video screens in the sanctuary and dining hall where a group of volunteers were preparing the after-concert meal, just as they have for the past 12 years.
In the kitchen, Roger Steckly poured corn starch from a bowl into a bubbling pan of rustic beef onion gravy, stirring it just like his Oma taught him.
Susan Park and Belinda Schmidt swept through the space, completing tasks in the kitchen and dining room, scrutinizing the area to ensure everything was in place, every detail properly handled.
"We just pitch in and do whatever needs to be done," Schmidt said. "We call ourselves Dan's minions."
The man she was referring to was Dan Robison, who stood at the serving window with arms extended to greet the long line of diners. Since 2007, Robison and his friends have cooked thousands of meals for the noon concert goers, the soloists, a harp quartet and vocal ensembles in the church fellowship hall.
Each meal costs a $5 donation, but if people don't have it, there's no charge.
The tradition began after the group catered the meal for St. John's 150th anniversary celebration. Artistic director Victor Shaper asked Robison if he and his crew could continue their volunteer efforts at luncheons for the first Friday concerts.
Twelve years later it has become their ministry.
Born and raised in San Antonio, Robison grew up in a small, middle class suburb where he learned to give back, just as his parents did. He watched his mother help those in need in the post-World War II neighborhood near Basse and Blanco streets and now follows her example.
"It makes me feel good that we're able to produce a product to people who will enjoy it," Robison, 66, said. "In society we get so busy we don't get to sit down to see people. To share a meal is fundamental. It has been a privilege to be able to do this."
A business process consultant at USAA, Robison uses his vacation days for each first Friday to oversee the meal preparation.
But he's quick to say that everyone on the crew is an equal.
On this Friday, first-year volunteer Jo Ann Valdez helped place ice-filled glasses and crisp salads on 15 round tables draped with white linen. Schmidt was ladling food onto plates as Robison brought out more salads.
Longtime team members Cindy Campbell, Mary Boehme, Pam Garteiser and Janet Grun weren't able to make the event that day, but the friends talked about them as if they were there, saying their presence was felt.
All the team members share common beliefs, Robison said, travel on weekend trips and vacations and serve together on various church committees. Their motto is all are welcome at the dining hall that's open to the community. And the folks they serve are part of their extended family.
On the morning of the First Friday lunches, they gather in the kitchen that's outfitted with a convection oven and double oven. If a meal lends itself to large servings, a friend of Robinson's does the big shopping for the preparations that start on Thursday night. The commercial kitchen once used by Meals on Wheels hums with activity.
A point of pride for the group is that it was more than five years before they duplicated an entree or dessert. Robison said one of the team's goals is to one day share their steps to whipping up meals that guests have copied on the back of programs and checkbooks.
At this recent lunch, with Valdez at his side, Robison greeted each diner with a warm smile. The volunteers held out gold-trimmed plates illustrated with an image of the church and laden with slices of beef, carrots, potatoes and a crescent roll.
The patter among the group was just like at a family gathering.
"Hi, ladies!" Robison called out to a trio of women before asking about their health. "No enchiladas today, sir," he said to a man checking whether his favorite dish was on the menu. "It smells divine!" said another diner as Robison handed her a plate.
That day the initial head count was 97; a final tally put the number of diners at 105.
"If we need to set up more plates we will," Robison said as he stepped behind the kitchen service window to help spoon food onto the plates.
As the diners finished their meals, the volunteers sat in an adjacent room for a quick spell. They ate quickly and then were back at work, clearing tables, washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen.
They bid farewell to the regulars and the new visitors and packed away their aprons until the next luncheon.
"Not only do we feed the body," Robison said, "we feed the spirit."

Beverly Ann Greener
Beverly Greener was born on May 14, 1938 in Chesterton, Indiana, came to Loveland, Colorado, in 1967 and passed away at home in Loveland on November 16, 2019. She was the beloved wife of Richard C. Greener of 819 Ptarmigan Place, Loveland, Colorado. Beverly's children from her first marriage to Charles W. Near are Scott Near, Bryan Near and the late Chris Near. Her step-children are Sharan (Greener) Dill, Dr. Susan (Greener) Drake and Jim Greener. Beverly loved her 14 grandchildren: Stacia Near, Kathleen (Near) Nichols, Michelle Near, Megan (Near) McFarlin, Cameron Near, Sharyce (Near) Winters, Keaton Near, Khelsie Near and Carson Near; step-grandchildren Tyler Sharp, Ashley Drake, Mary Ann (Drake) Jones, Brielle Greener and Collin Greener. Beverly's parents were Everette A. Witte and Beatrice G. Witte of Chesterton, Indiana, now deceased. She has a brother, William S. Witte I of North Fort Meyers, Florida. Beverly attended schools in Chesterton, Indiana, graduating in 1956. During that time, she was involved in the high school newspaper, musicals, sports, Honor Society and an extra-curricular activity as Honored Queen of Job's Daughters (Bethel 80). She felt very lucky to work at Inland Steel Company in Indiana Harbor for two summers to earn money for college. Upon graduation from high school, she was educated at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois, Michigan State University in Lansing, Michigan, and Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, in voice, piano and then in business. She worked 14 years for Hewlett-Packard Company in marketing, advertising and trade show departments. When raising her family, Beverly was very active in forming the Loveland Preschool in 1966 at the First Presbyterian Church in Loveland, Colorado, with friends. She was President of the preschool for several years and out of that hard work with the other mothers came a preschool that is still functioning today. She worked part-time at the church office of the Loveland Presbyterian Church for several years as an assistant to the Secretary and the Pastor. Beverly loved music and when Loveland teacher/director Roberta Price talked of her interest in making summer musicals possible, she and Roberta and other interested community friends began the Music Guild. The Guild gave college scholarships from the proceeds of the musicals for musicians, actors and performers. Beverly was the first President of the Guild for several years. Many scholarships were granted until the Guild disbanded in the early part of 2008. She produced six musicals and acted in small parts in them. Her sons were often in the musicals acting in roles and helping with the lights and props. In her retirement years, she and her husband, Richard (Dick), loved to travel all over the country in their motor-home and formed an RV club in 1992. They had many friends who spent fun weekends with them. Beverly and Dick RV'd for the better part of their 37 year marriage. Beverly found a passion for genealogy and the Family Trees which traced her heritage back to the Crusades and to the first families of America. She was a member of The Mayflower Society and the Daughters of the American Revolution and enjoyed trading ancestor information with many contacts all over the country. Beverly and her husband spent 26 winters at Golden Vista RV Park in Apache Junction, Arizona, where her neighbors were good friends. She enjoyed many of the park's activities and the wonderful weather there. Her Red Hat friends made her life interesting and enjoyable. A private service will be held at Roselawn Cemetery in Fort Collins, Colorado, in early May 2020. She would like all her friends and family to know how much she loved them and what joy they gave her.

€80M Series B Establishes European Champion in Radiopharmaceuticals
March 17, 2022 - 4 minutes
Big European venture capital firms Jeito, Forbion, and Inkef Capital have teamed up to propel the local radiopharmaceutical scene by investing €80M in the Belgian firm Precirix.
Europe has a long history of expertise in the development of radiopharmaceutical drugs. One of the pioneers in the field was Advanced Accelerator Applications (AAA) in France. AAA — now part of Novartis — brought to market one of the best-known radiopharmaceutical drugs, Lutathera, for the treatment of types of neuroendocrine tumors in 2018.
"[Radiopharmaceuticals] have been around for many decades," said Ruth Devenyns, CEO of the Belgian radiopharmaceutical firm Precirix. "There was quite a bit of time before we saw product successes."
The increasing commercial and clinical potential of radiopharmaceuticals has led to growing big pharma and investor interest in the last decade. This week, Precirix became the latest radiopharmaceutical biotech to get big venture capital (VC) support. The firm raised €80M in a Series B round led by European life sciences heavyweights Inkef Capital, Jeito Capital, and Forbion.
According to Sabine Dandiguian, Managing Partner at Jeito, the three VCs came together and were excited by the potential of Precirix's antibody technology in radiopharmaceuticals. "We wanted to build a European champion," she added.
The core design of radiopharmaceutical drugs consists of a cancer-seeking drug attached by a linker molecule to a radioactive chemical that can destroy cancer cells. The carrier molecule can be anything from small molecules to monoclonal antibodies. Small molecule carriers can typically access more cancer sites than can antibody carriers, but they bind more weakly to their targets.
In the case of Precirix, previously known as Camel IDS, the cancer-seeking component is a fragment of an antibody found in animals from the camelid family, which includes llamas and camels. These antibody fragments bind to their targets as strongly as regular antibody drugs but can access more cancer sites like a small molecule.
The round proceeds will let Precirix complete a phase I/II trial of its lead candidate radiopharmaceutical to treat late-stage breast and gastric cancer. The treatment is also expected to tackle cancer that has spread to the brain, where patients need more therapies urgently.
"[Our technology] can enter brain lesions when there is a leak in the blood–brain barrier," said Devenyns. "Can small molecules do that as well? Yes, but there aren't any that are as precise that can actually target as well as we can."
Precirix plans to develop its platform technology by tinkering with different linker molecules and manufacturing processes. Like with many radiopharmaceutical drugs, the company can also use one radioactive molecule on the carrier to image the cancer and another radioisotope to kill the tumor; this blend of treatment and imaging is known as theranostics.
"You can attach to this carrier whatever radioisotope you wish," said Dandiguian. "It's a platform, a new generation in radiopharmaceuticals."
Novartis' AAA continues to be one of the leading figures in radiopharmaceutical development, with a candidate in phase III. Other players running phase III trials of radiopharmaceutical drugs include Telix Pharmaceuticals in Australia and ITM in Germany.
Many upstart firms are aiming to maximize the cancer-killing power of radiopharmaceuticals while minimizing side effects. One rising star is RayzeBio in the US, which raised €89M ($108M) in a Series C round last year. RayzeBio is developing radiopharmaceutical drugs that emit a form of radiation called alpha; most current radiopharmaceuticals deploy beta radiation. According to RayzeBio, alpha radiation can blast nearby tumor cells without affecting healthy tissue close to the tumor site.
As radiopharmaceuticals are distinct from conventional drugs, the logistics and manufacture of these drugs are typically less advanced in many hospitals. The growing momentum in radiopharmaceuticals development may allow more centers to roll out facilities able to supply and administer the drugs.
"The more you see big actors developing and deploying radiopharmaceuticals … the more we will open the market and this new hope for patients," said Dandiguian.
While Europe has abundant experience with radiopharmaceuticals, the continent typically lags behind the US when it comes to commercialization.
"Technology-wise if you look at the drugs that came to market first, like Lutathera or Xofigo, they are actually European developments," said Devenyns. "If you look where these drugs are mostly being sold and being commercialized, it's more on the US side." She added that logistics and reimbursement across the different regions were likely factors in this difference.
The decision by Jeito and other European VCs to establish a European radiopharmaceuticals champion comes as the war in Ukraine has made many US investors cautious with their European ventures. However, European biotechs in general present big potential for investors.
"There is good science in Europe," said Dandiguian. "And I would say valuation is low in Europe, so there are good opportunities."

More than just a game…North London prepares for a battle royale on Sunday
In November 2017 it will be the 130 anniversary of the first meeting between the teams we know today as Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. Back in the Victorian age this was of course a North v South of the river clash, with the first ever game between the two rivals being played on Plumstead Common, which today opposite a McDonalds and Belmarsh Prison. That game had to be abandoned with Spurs leading 2-1 due to "darkness".
Fast forward 129 years and 183 meetings since, the first meeting of the season between the two rivals has never been more eagerly awaited by the two sets of fans as well as those with an interest in online sports betting. Whilst Arsenal's position in the top four of English football has been undisputed for nearly 20 years, Tottenham's emergence as a challenger to the title has been more recent. After kissing a number of frogs, the club seems to have found their prince in the form of Mauricio Pochettino who almost brought the first title to N17 for over fifty years last season and is yet to experience defeat in the Premier League this season.
The Spurs fans I know have become much more mellow with things off the field too. The wisdom of Daniel Levy is now not a heated discussion, especially as the emergence of the new stadium is visible at every home game. Once complete, it could act as a catalyst to power the club commercially forward. According to the annual study by Forbes, Spurs are the tenth most valuable football club with an estimated worth of just over £700m, around 50% of the value attached to Arsenal. The key to creating more value is the bigger stadium with more opportunities to drive commercial revenues. It is no surprise that the teams that hold the top five places in the list all play in front of sold-out stadiums with capacities over 60,000. Joining that list is the clear ambition of Spurs in the next five years. It is clear from the ticket sales for their Champions League games at Wembley so far this season that if you can build it, they will come.
Whilst the Spurs fans are happy with life at the moment, Arsenal fans continue to enjoy a love/hate relationship with the owners and the manager. Best ever one week when they destroy Chelsea, showing them the door the next when they fail to beat Middlesbrough at home. There can be no denying that they are a major challenger for the title this season, having scored three or more goals in 60% of their Premier League games so far this term, whilst hitting the back of the net on 17 occasions in their cup games so far, including nine against the Bulgarian champions Ludogorets, already booking their spot in the knock-out phases of the Champions League. Whilst some fans may bemoan a lack of dynamism in the transfer market, Wenger has managed to shuffle the pack when required this season.
Sunday's game won't decide the league title – especially this season where there are half a dozen teams who have a legitimate shout but it will make Monday a potentially uncomfortable day at work for half of North London as the winners will earn the bragging rights until the end of April at least.

Rossi makes one lap count to claim Verizon P1 Award at Mid-Ohio
By Mark Robinson | Published: Jul 28, 2018
LEXINGTON, Ohio (Saturday, July 28, 2018) – The saying goes that it only takes one good lap in qualifying. For Alexander Rossi, it only took one lap – period – to take the Verizon P1 Award and pole position for Sunday's Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio.
Rossi turned just one timed lap in the Firestone Fast Six, the last of three Verizon IndyCar Series knockout qualifying rounds, but it was enough to earn the first starting position. He was clocked at 1 minute, 4.6802 seconds (125.677 mph) in the No. 27 NAPA AUTO PARTS Honda to pick up his third pole position this season and fourth of his three-year INDYCAR career.
HONDA INDY 200 AT MID-OHIO: Qualifying results
By design, Rossi waited until less than two minutes remained in the Firestone Fast Six before going on track at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. He knew that his red-sidewall Firestone alternate tires were at their best for him on the first full lap around the 2.258-mile permanent road course.
"For whatever reason, we had a one-lap car on reds, so that was a unique thing that's happened for us this year," Rossi said. "We used it to our advantage. That's the reason we sat there (until late in the Firestone Fast Six). We knew that was where our car was going to be best – one lap, going out."
The Andretti Autosport driver will lead the 24-car field to the green flag in Sunday's 90-lap race (live at 3 p.m. ET, CNBC and Advance Auto Parts INDYCAR Radio Network; same-day encore telecast at 6:30 p.m., NBCSN).
"This one was really special to me," Rossi said. "Honestly, I think road courses have not been my strongest kind of attribute in the rise in the (Verizon) IndyCar Series, for whatever reason. It's something that has been our biggest focus really from the middle of last year.
"To be able to do that here on arguably the hardest road course we go to is a huge thing, and one that there's a big wave of happiness and relief that kind of washed over me when I was told we got pole."
Will Power qualified second in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet, with a lap of 1:04.8939 (125.263 mph). It marks the eighth time this season that the 2018 Indianapolis 500 winner will start from the front row.
"Yeah, happy with front row," Power said. "Obviously, it's a real track position track. It's difficult to pass and everyone is fast these days, so qualifying means a lot. Alex just pumped out one really good lap there (to win the pole).
"I thought my lap was really good and then I came in and saw what he did, and that was a solid lap."
Row 2 on the Mid-Ohio grid mirrors the front row by team. Rossi's teammate at Andretti Autosport, Ryan Hunter-Reay, qualified third in the No. 28 DHL Honda (1:04.9896, 125.078 mph). Reigning Verizon IndyCar Series champion and defending Mid-Ohio winner Josef Newgarden, Power's teammate, qualified fourth in the No. 1 Hitachi Team Penske Chevrolet (1:05.1335, 124.802 mph).
Schmidt Peterson Motorsports rookie Robert Wickens qualified fifth in the No. 6 Lucas Oil SPM Honda (1:05.1747, 124.723 mph). Max Chilton equaled his career-best start by qualifying sixth in the No. 59 Gallagher Chevrolet (1:06.6172, 122.023 mph).
Several contenders had qualifying efforts derailed by incidents during the first two rounds. Sebastien Bourdais, the 2014 Mid-Ohio winner, slid into the Turn 2 tire barrier in the first round and will start last in the No. 18 Team SealMaster Honda. James Hinchcliffe had just set the fastest lap of Round 2 when he went off track and into the tires in Turn 12. Penalized his two fastest laps in the round, Hinchcliffe will start 10th in the No. 5 Arrow Electronics SPM Honda.
Championship leader Scott Dixon was on track when the Hinchcliffe incident brought out the red flag, halting his hot lap. Dixon, a five-time winner at Mid-Ohio, will start ninth in the No. 9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda and takes a 62-point lead over Newgarden into the race.
"I think it would've been tight for us without the red flag to get through (to the Firestone Fast Six), but you never really know. The PNC Bank car was good, and we had definitely made gains from Q1 to Q2 there."
The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio is the 13th of 17 races on the 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series schedule.


I like this place somewhat more than you do, but in the 5 times I've been there I've never had the food shoved at me so fast. The pacing was always fine. I wonder why they did that.
They were doing this with every table!

Venables 'minder' quits as losses leap
By This Is Money
Updated: 19:00 EST, 16 September 2003
TERRY VENABLES' minder-cum-accountant Leon Angel is quitting the stockmarket after revelations that losses at his soccer agency are spiralling out of control.
Despite the big fees Angel received for negotiating Venables' multi-million pound appointment as manager of Leeds United last year and his subsequent pay-off six months later, Angel's quoted Basegroup said losses have 'substantially' worsened from the £2.2m deficit last year.
At the group's annual meeting today it was announced Angel has quit Basegroup to make a buyout offer for the group's soccer star interests, which include acting for the likes of Man United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and Liverpool's Harry Kewell.
The offer would leave Basegroup with a rump sports agency business, whose big names include West Indies cricket star Brian Lara.
It would also mean Angel continuing to look after the commercial interests of Venables, a long-standing friend who is currently in the south of Spain developing his property interests.

IPI outraged over confirmation of Cumhuriyet sentences
ECtHR urged to speed up consideration of Turkish cases
The International Press Institute (IPI), a global network of editors, media executives and journalists defending press freedom, condemned a Turkish appeals court decision upholding jail sentences given to 14 current and former journalists and staff members of the secular newspaper Cumhuriyet.
An Istanbul appeals court yesterday confirmed the sentences handed down by a lower criminal court in April 2018. Former Cumhuriyet columnist Kadri Gürsel, a member of IPI's Executive Board and the chair of IPI's Turkey National Committee, was sentenced to two years and six months behind bars. Gürsel previously spent 11 months in pre-trial detention. Former Cumhuriyet Editor-in-Chief Murat Sabuncu and investigative journalist Ahmet Şık received seven years and six months each.
Journalists in the case with sentences greater than five years have the possibility of further appeal. Lower sentences are considered final under Turkish law.
IPI believes that the charges against Cumhuriyet staff are politically motivated and part of a campaign to silence independent media in the country. As much as 90 percent of the country's press is currently under the sway of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government.
IPI Executive Director Barbara Trionfi criticized the decision of the appeals court describing as "an appalling violation of the rule of law".
"The Cumhuriyet journalists and staff members in this case were convicted despite no credible evidence. They committed no wrongdoing and were tried purely for reporting news the government didn't like. The appeals decision shows that Turkey's justice system is unable to protect journalists from violations of their fundamental rights."
She added: "We urge the European Court of Human Rights to speed up its deliberations on cases brought by journalists from Turkey and, in the case that a violation is found, ensure that its rulings are respected and carried out. Europe must actively work to return Turkey to its community of values based on respect for human rights including freedoms of the press and expression."
The defendants were convicted on charges of lending support to multiple terror organizations of vastly different stripes: the Kurdish PKK, the extreme-left DHKP-C, and FETÖ, a government designation for the movement led by exiled cleric Fethullah Gülen, whom Turkey blames for the 2016 coup attempt.
However, despite seven hearings that in a case that lasted 17 months, prosecutors produced no actual evidence to support the charges, relying instead on news reports and social media posts as well as on records of innocuous or unavoidable contact – including contact attempts to which the accused did not respond – with individuals who had a secretive app on their phones said to have been used by Gülen's followers.
Significantly, proceedings in the case were plagued by glaring violations of the rule of law. Defendants were effectively punished without conviction, having been held for months in pre-trial detention with arbitrary limits on outside contact and interference with their right to mount a legal defence.
Defendants and confirmed sentences:
Akın Atalay: 7 years, 13 months, 15 days
Orhan Erinç: 6 years, 3 months
Bülent Utku: 4 years, 6 months
Murat Sabuncu: 7 years, 6 months
Kadri Gürsel: 2 years, 6 months
Güray Öz: 3 years, 9 months
Önder Çelik: 3 years, 9 months
Musa Kart: 3 years, 9 months
Hakan Kara: 3 years, 9 months
Mustafa Kemal Güngör: 3 years, 9 months
Aydın Engin: 7 years, 6 months
Hikmet Çetinkaya: 6 years, 3 months
Ahmet Şık: 7 years, 6 months
Emre İper: 3 years, 1 month, 15 days
Three Cumhuriyet journalists and staff members, Bülent Yener, Günseli Özaltay and Turhan Günay, were acquitted.

Observe how he handles things when they don't go his way. Kind: Your man should notice and call out the beauty in you.You should feel gorgeous, empowered and worthy when you are with him.Our friends hear all the justifications as to why he doesn't need to be this or that.For example, "Oh we don't need to share the same faith, he has a good heart." (I used that one myself.) Or, "He doesn't have to get along with my friends, they actually are kind of annoying.
And because we are in loooove now, our once 20/20 vision is blurred and the values we once held don't seem so important anymore.Your guy can thank and acknowledge others when they help them and also can acknowledge when he has wronged you without pointing fingers and making a trail of excuses.That gets you nowhere but backwards, and probably in a more drawn out fight, causing more damage to the relationship.He does not envy your relationships with friends or become jealous when you receive recognition.
He also doesn't try to talk you out of opportunities that are aligned with your life's purpose.
Protective: You know you can always count on him to defend you or stand up for you in any situation.


I know we all say it'd be awesome to live on an Island, surrounded by crystal clear, blue waters, but when you think of the people actually living there, you've got to wonder about a lot of things.

As an integral part of the academic process, weekly concerts are held in each branch. In these concerts, students of all ages and levels perform pieces that they have been preparing, in front of friends, family, teachers and the public. Sometimes students play solo pieces, while other times they may be accompanied by teachers or as ensembles with other students. In addition, teachers often perform in the weekly concerts, giving students the opportunity to see their mentors in action as performing musicians. These weekly concerts, which usually take place on Friday afternoons, fulfil several objectives. Firstly, they are opportunities for students to practice performing in a friendly and relatively informal environment. Secondly, students have the chance to hear their peers and teachers play, which can be a valuable and motivating learning experience; and thirdly, they provide the opportunity for family and friends to enjoy listening to their loved ones playing complete performances. In addition, families might like to bring along their younger children to the concerts: this exposes children to different instruments and lets them discover their preferences, which may assist with choosing an instrument later on.


How will project managers work in 2030 — will they still be project managers?
Which utopias do you expect, which gloomy scenarios do you see on the horizon?
In my role as a manager, I have tasks such as resource planning, I am jointly responsible for the success of the project and sometimes I myself lead an initiative (=project). However, I still don't see myself as a project manager. Why do I have something to say here? After reading a few of the contributions to the blog parade, it became clear to me that the question must also be asked for many other professions (e. g. executives, HR,…).
Whoever fears every cloud, is not a good farmer.
Sounds like a crazy analogy. When I tried to answer the questions, the picture of a farmer came to my mind. And indeed, I have discovered five parallels that could give a clue as to whether there are still project managers in 2030 and what their work will look like.
So the spectrum is broad. That is why I do not believe that there can be a general answer to the questions asked. Project managers who are not afraid of change, i. e. making their teams fit for surprises and seeing change as an opportunity rather than a threat, are probably still very popular in 2030.
Digitisation, artificial intelligence and algorithms will also not stop at the activities of the project managers and destroy work. I think the farmers were faced with a similar change 100 years ago, when the first agricultural machines (e. g. the famous Lanz tractor) came up. Presumably there was a lot of scepticism. Today, no one would want to do without the support of these machines. After all, the physical work on the field was anything but pleasant. Farmers' early adopters are already enjoying the benefits of the next industrial revolution. Big data and sensors allow predictive machine maintenance, prediction of disease in livestock and optimization of seed and harvest.
There are also a lot of manual tasks for project managers, which one would love to have automated. Excelsheets are maintained with great manual effort and hundreds of hours are spent creating reports. Who wouldn't want machines to do that? Roboadvisor could help with budget decisions, in risk management we can calculate probability of occurrence within seconds thanks to Big Data and with "Alexa" every project manager has his own assistant. The same considerations can easily be made for the other mentioned disciplines. I am looking forward to the help of machines! Dear reader, which "agricultural machine" would you like to have? Which "bone job" would you like to have taken off?
Will there be part-time project managers?
In the case of farmers, the industrial revolution has resulted in many of them becoming only part-time farmers. Will we be able to observe a similar phenomenon in project managers? Thanks to digitalisation, a project manager can take on more projects at the same time. Since there will be many digitisation projects for the time being, there is no reason to panic. But why not seize the opportunity of the part-time project manager? In the morning you are project manager, in the afternoon basketball trainer. On the job sharing platform tandemploy there are 60 people who have project management in their profile. So they already exist today, the part-time project managers.
And as with farmers, it is likely that project managers will see increasing differentiation. One specializes in Galloway cattle, the other in the renaissance of historical potato varieties and yet another in the cultivation of new cereals and brewing beer from them. The competition forces creativity and opens up new fields of business, for example in tourism.
Will this also be the case for project managers? Possibly, yes. So what would be the differentiation of project managers? How about innovative methods in the portfolio? Or maybe you also offer insurance for project risks? Let your mind run free and have a look at the farmers.
When comparing farmers and project managers, I noticed one thing that fascinates me the most. The farmer grows plants or animals. The project manager lets a team grow. Farmers have love for nature and animals. The project manager has love for people. The project magazine asks whether the project manager is only the coordinating body for the project participants. I don't think that's enough. The successful project manager lets his "plant" team grow. He makes sure that the "soil" is fertile, the team gets enough "sun and rain" and every now and then he has to take care of the "weeds". Machines and algorithms might support it. The machine, however, will hardly develop the passion for the human. And the topic of sustainability probably doesn't play a role for machines for the time being either. Conserving resources is already a major issue in agriculture today. I also think that the gentle treatment of people will become a bigger issue in the economy. People and sustainability will therefore very probably be the facet of the project manager in 2030, which will come into its own much more strongly.
What will the role of the project manager look like in 2030? I don't have a crystal ball. But if you take the role of the farmer as an example, you don't have to worry. Machines will take on many laborious tasks. This is positive on the one hand, but it also means less work. This may increase the competition for appropriate positions. But creativity and a passion for people will also be in demand in 2030. Probably even more than today. So don't worry about the clouds of digitalization.
I am looking forward to your feedback! How do you see your future as a project manager, manager, HR specialist? What other roles can farmers also learn from? What would be your added value over machines? Comment under this article, on social media or send me a message.

No Man's Sky is the reason for this wiki.
No Man's Sky, previously codenamed Project Skyscraper,[1] is a procedural science fiction game developed by English developer Hello Games out of Guildford, UK. Hello Games is best known for their Joe Danger series, and is bringing their unique development style to No Man's Sky. The game will feature planetary exploration, deep oceans, space-based battles, predators and prey, and much more across various procedurally-generated worlds. Each world will have its own ecosystems, rewards, and dangers, leading the player through the four core pillars of the game: Explore, Fight, Trade, and Survive.
It was released in North America on 9 August 2016 and in Europe on 10 August for PS4 and on 12 August for the PC community. It was released on Xbox One and WeGame on 24 July 2018.[2]

The stock structure of grey mackerel Scomberomorus semifasciatus in Australia as inferred from its parasite fauna
Charters, R.A., Lester, R.J.G., Buckworth, R.C., Newman, S.J., Ovenden, J.R., Broderick, D., Kravchuk, O., Ballagh, A. and Welch, D.J. (2009) The stock structure of grey mackerel Scomberomorus semifasciatus in Australia as inferred from its parasite fauna. Fisheries Research, 101 (1-2). pp. 94-99.
Article Link(s): http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.fishres.2009.09.011
Publisher URL: http://www.elsevier.com
The scombrid Scomberomorus semifasciatus is an important component of inshore fisheries in tropical Australia. Data on the parasite fauna of 593 fish from areas off northern and eastern Australia were examined for evidence of discrete fish populations. The parasites used were juveniles of Pterobothrium pearsoni, Callitetrarhynchus gracilis, Anisakis simplex (sensu latu) and Terranova sp. Tukey Kramer pairwise comparisons gave significant differences in the abundances of two or more parasites between fish from the east coast, the eastern Gulf of Carpentaria and the remainder of northern Australia. Multivariate analysis gave further evidence of differences and the results suggest that at least 4 populations or stocks of grey mackerel occur along the northern and eastern coastline of Australia.

Bill O'Reilly, journaliste de Fox News et réel conservateur, a commenté les choix possibles pour John McCain pour choisir un candidat à la Vice-Présidence.
Plusieurs seraient possibles en réalité. Je vois personnellement quelqu'un comme Haley Barbour, gouverneur du Mississippi, comme un excellent candidat. Cependant, Bill O'Reilly a raison. Mitt Romney serait le meilleur candidat pour la Vice Présidence. Il est fort là où McCain est faible, et inversement. Son expérience est grande, bien plus que celle du désigné Républicain, et il permettra d'unir le Parti derrière son nom. Très clairement, Mitt Romney est aujourd'hui le meilleur choix pour une Vice-Présidence Républicaine.
EH bien oui nous on le savait (depuis 3 semaines) j'espèr que Mac CAIN est du même avis... Obama ou pas avec ce ticket les Républicain seront en très bonne position. Pour un ticket MAC CAIN ROMNEY, et vous qu'en penssez vous?
Je pense que c'est le meilleur ticket, mais est-il possible ?
Je prie pour qu'il ait raison sur Romney. Quelle ticket d'enfer ce serait !
Article publié sur le très bon site Red State. Tous les arguments publiés pour voir Romney devenir le Running mate de McCain sont résumés à la perfection.
Although I supported Romney, even I was surprised by how the strength of his case for Vice President. I started to write a response to the Vice President thread, but there are so many reasons that I needed to start a new diary. Put aside your primary prejudices for a moment.
1. Money, money, money. Despite some of the slurs thrown around here, Mitt RAISED more money than any other candidate and much of that was done before he was a household name like Guiliani, McCain and Thompson. People like to deride him as some rich guy, built his money was self-made and he is a hell of a fundraiser. McCain has a serious money gap that needs to be addressed.
2. Message discipline. Romney is super disciplined. He will not go off the reservation. He's good at being methodical, staying on message and not being a maverick, which is important for a Veep candidate. He will not deviate from the message nor will he usurp McCain's limelight. McCain and his campaign cannot be undermined or trumped by the acts of an unpredictable or 'off the cuff' Veep.
3. Party unity. It may not help with all conservatives, but it well help with many. In fact, many conservative personalities have already said that their enthusiasm for McCain would rise if Romney was picked. Romney can help assuage some of the immigration and global warming skeptics as well.
4. Party organization. Romney is a master executive and organizer. He also holds great sway with rank and file committeemen and women as demonstrated by his success in the caucuses. While the Democrats eat each other up, the Republicans with Romney could use this time to gain a superior tactical advantage in organization, unity and discipline.
5. Michigan. Michigan is a fairly large state. I have much faith that Romney can deliver Michigan. Someone like Pawlenty may deliver Minnesota, but Minnesota is smaller and Pawlenty does little else for McCain except reinforce the notions McCain is weak on AGW and immigration. Bush almost won Michigan in 2004. Under Democratic rule, Michigan continues to decline. It is ripe to be picked off.
6. Healthcare. The primary is over. You don't have to spread or believe anymore lies about Romney's "socialized" healthcare plan. The fact is that Romney and his team, guys like Charlie Baker, are healthcare gurus. Romney always said that he would take a federalist approach at the national level and that Massachusetts plan was the right fit for Massachusetts, which it was. This will be a hot issue and Romney will whip any Democrat or any member of the news media in a debate. Plus, he can bring some genuinely good ideas to the table. McCain could designate Romney his healthcare guru.
7. The Party of Lincoln. No doubt this is being framed as a historic election. We will have some combination of an African-American and a woman on the Democratic ticket. Ironically, it is probably the Mormans who are most persecuted minority in modern society. Although he is a "white guy", Romney still represents a persecuted people and would be a historical nomination representative of "The Party of Lincoln". "The Party of Lincoln" needs to reclaim our rightful place in history as the party of inclusion and tolerance.
8. No skeletons. The campaign does not need to spend three months vetting a Veep nominee. No hookers, no dirty movie rentals, no DUIs, no old buddies talking about coke, no infidelity, no estranged kids, no addictions, etc.. The Democrats will fight a scorched earth campaign and many of the other prospective candidates have not been thoroughly vetted and are unlikely to match Romney's squeaky clean image.
9. Energized Mormons. No doubt Mormons are a little deflated after have their candidate, and worse, their faith bashed by many in the Party they have so loyally supported. They have a lot of money and a strong organization and can be players in the key Purple states like Colorado and Nevada.
10. Private sector experience. McCain has none. The economic concerns are rising. Paring a Washington insider with say another career poltician, lawyer or beaurocrat will do little to help appease the concerns of folks who worry about the economy. The housing crisis and job creation demand a private sector perspective, which Romney can provide.
11. Ann. She would work well with certain demographics. She is surprisingly savvy campaigner. Her long marriage, work as a mother of five and her intriguing battle with multiple sclerosis make her an interesting human story.
12. Overall competence and appearance. Intelligence and competence have never really been and issue for Romney. He is a fast learner. Although he has no foreign policy experience, there is little question that he could absorb the issues of the day quickly and be prepared on day one if necessary. He certainly will look the part. He is acceptable in that doomsday red phone scenario.
