Since taking over as stewards of the Spider-Man console gaming franchise, we've seized the opportunity to explore new territory with each game release. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on PS3 and PS4 created a great opportunity to build and improve on something rather than starting from a blank slate. The gameplay walkthrough we've prepared for you today shows off some of the ways we've gone about doing that, but I'd also like to briefly flesh out some of those details with a little more context.
The new mechanics of web-swinging are more than just a visual tick, and that's why we often start off pointing them out. Controlling separate sides of Spider-Man with separate sides of your brain has a great psychological effect, and it really immerses you even deeper into your character, particularly when you have to decide to use the right or left trigger based on the physical location of buildings as you swing through the city.
Your cell phone is more than just a glorified menu and map — it's also how you gauge your progress as New York's guardian arachnid. The new "Hero or Menace" system is a way for us to personalize the act of safeguarding everyday citizens' lives, by adding real consequences for Spider-Man and the city as a whole based on your actions (and inactions). We really want you to feel like you're the hero behind the mask, and that means giving you all the challenges and choices that ol' Webhead has to deal with moment-to-moment.
And that also means letting you take off that mask to experience a slice of life from Peter Parker's perspective by investigating multifaceted characters, as well as letting you go home to visit Aunt May and take care of personal business. The sight of Peter's wardrobe is a cool one, and we're excited for players to get their hands on the range of suits we've included in the game. As with the shift in web-swinging, these costume choices offer far more than just a cosmetic effect.
You'll notice the combat scenario we show off in the video takes place in an open, outdoor environment. We've got this great wide world to play with in Manhattan, and we thought it would be a shame to just restrict you to a series of linear corridors. That's not fun for you or for us. So indoors and out, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 tries to give you legroom, with enough space to explore and experiment.
As you can see in the combat section of the walkthrough, you can go wherever you want in this area, which really frees you up to do whatever you want, too, from stealth prowess to up-close-and-personal combat, and we've expanded Spidey's skill set to reflect that.
It's the same city as before, but it's definitely a different world, and we can't wait for you to discover all the other reasons why when The Amazing Spider-Man 2 arrives on April 29th.

That looks pretty cool.

The game looks decent but i wish publishers would wise up and stop charging full price for these rushed out movie tie-in games. Even the better ones like Xmen Wolverine and 007 Quantum of Solace weren't worth more than $40 at max.
I'm really excited about the new spiderman movie and would like to play the game, but i can tell you right now i won't buy it till a month or two later when its priced reasonably. Not every game is created equal and movie tie-ins shouldn't cost the same as GTA V did when it released.

What a shame,there's no Vita version for Second Episode and I don't care about PSNow or remote player or Teamviewer or whatever is the name.
I just wanted a real game for my vita in order to play everywhere :(
GioRage
Sold! Count me in. Beenox never fails to amaze and this game looks like its shaping up to be a great super hero game.
"Spider-man 2099 costume" Oh yeah. Time to go pre-order for PS4. I imagine later on they will do a Vita version like they did with the first ASM game. Well, hopefully. Thanks for posting the video.
CrusaderForever
Looks really good, I am impressed. My son and I are going to love this on the PS4. So glad you got rid of the sky swinging, just wasn't realistic and hindered the immersion. Can you tell me if there is going to be a ton of collectibles like ASM1? I sure hope so as I loved collecting the comic pages. Also, not sure, but I thought I read some where that there is going to be never ending enemy scenarios in the city after you finish the main story, can you elaborate on this? One more thing, can you verify Vita Remote Play as well? I know all PS4 games excluding camera enabled games have it, just want to make sure. Great work, look forward to playing your game.
Thomas Wilson
Yes, there will be collectibles in the game. Comic Pages are back, as well as Unlockable Comics. There will be Audio Logs and Tech Bits as well (used to upgrade your arsenal). Also, random crimes will continue to occur when you are done with the main adventure. The game does support Vita Remote Play as well.
stlthriot
Loved the first one, besides some annoying indoor missions. Hoping this one is just as fun, if not more! :)
zaxlon
I seriously need this game now! I don't even think I'll be able to wait until I see the movie first! I did try that with the first game after all and caved almost immediately after I crossed the threshold with it.
mikemill
I loved the first one, very underrated game. Looking forward to this on my PS4!
whatisdelicious
It looks a little plain graphically and the font work is sorely lacking (I know, I know, that's a super minor thing that only crazy people like myself will notice) but the actually looks pretty fun, especially moving around the city. I might pick this up in a few months if it turns out to be pretty good.
I really hope Beenox gets the chance to make another Spidey game that isn't tied in with a movie though and have enough time to make it truly amazing. Just look at Rocksteady's Arkham series. They're completely free of a movie schedule, make incredible games with that time, and those game sell like crack because they're so good, not just because people want a movie companion.
Will the PS4 version be native 1080p?

I hope there will be a lot of costumes (I want the Noir one) already on the disc and not as paid dlc, please. 1st was ok, this one looks improved. I hope the story will be as well.
There will be 13 costumes that can be unlocked through the course of the game. 6 costumes will be available as gift with purchase and/or downloadable content.
naoplox
graphics look like PS 2 wtf lmao GTA3 + a flying man is what this is beef up the graphics its ps4 damn it
Torgo823
Are there any spoilers in the game for the movie?
You could say there are spoilers about Max Dillon and Harry Osborne…only if you know nothing about these two characters. If you have read about them in the past, you probably know their backstory a bit.
CaptainAlbator
One thing I hope this game avoids is what's dragged down other Spider-Man games in the past. For a superhero with such cool ways to get around like web slinging and wall crawling, developers often insisted that he should RUN everywhere. Level design is important in a game like this, I'm hoping they afford Spidey the chance to showcase those abilities.

Hoou I gotta say I'm actually surprised…for a movie game this looks good.I'm a major Spidey fan but since PS2 his games are pure disappointments only…I must ask please release a demo for this…game looks good but it may be another one of those games which looks good in video but not so much when you're playing it.
Also those animations on Peter's part must be a joke.Step up your thing Beenox.
Transporter47
Is there anyway for a Sony Studio to do a Spider-Man game? I would love to see Santa Monica Studios do one so bad…
Sulumon
Beenox Spidey games have been hit and miss I'm hoping this one is the former. Looks like they have been learning a thing or two from Rocksteady on how to create environments that showoff the hero's abilities. My only issue with their Spiderman games is artificial lengthening of games by giving Spidey mundane things to do. Also, their cutscene animations have always been a bit clunky and I wish they were a bit more cinematic. All this said, I like what I see so far . . .
@4 &12 because it was made for 3DS,I don't know why sometimes Sony supports those devs,there's only money important to them nothing else.
Vita's future would be shinny, it takes time I know but future will be good.at the moment games are coming for both PS3 and Ps Vita with the same graphic quality just smaller size on vita because of resolution.
I want to say thank you Sony for creating such a powerful device for the best and strongest hardware ever.It even could be replace PS3 instead and in the future.

Looks good so far. Reminds me of Spider-Man 2 on the PS2. It was the best Spider-Man game I've ever played.
D-Squad3
Make it just like Spider-Man 2 for the PlayStation 2 and you will have a customer.
Elvick_
Wish it were on PS Vita… despite the issues with framerate and ugly textures on 99% of things, I enjoyed playing the first on Vita again.
Sounds and looks like an improvement, but on IGN I heard them talk about the menace system and it seems like an annoying punishment system. Rather than a good feature. The example they gave is not being able to save everyone in a fire, thus being a "menace" and getting negatively affected by that gameplay with lower attack or something. Punishing players for not doing well is dumb.
They also talked about you guys focusing on last gen consoles, which is unfortunate.
jason_redemption
The ONE thing I LOVED from The Amazing Spiderman (the first game) was the boss fights with the robots (hunters) where you chased them through the city, I'm really hoping they have some huge-epic-boss battles in out in the open city. That'd be cool, that's what made the first game SO cool. Is there any chance we could see what some of the boss battles are like?
You will battle flying enemies for sure, such as Electro. Btw, Hunters are back as well, they can be summoned by the Task Force if your Menace rating is really high. We son't showcase complete boss fights, since it would spoil the game.
The game is looking great guys. I just might have to pick up the first one now.
Husteen
looks pretty cool, and i'm not necessarily a fan of spiderman. the gameplay, at least the stealth approach, seems very arkham-like.
release on 4/29?! that's my birthday =D
RulitoCR
Well lots of improvements! I really love Spidey and this game game is awesome!!
tusunami
This is cool and all but we all know that movie games never are good. I hope that this isn't based off of the upcoming movie because just cause this is on the PS4 doesn't mean this will be the 1st movie game to be a big seller cause it's on the PS4.
MelvinTheOctopus
Hopefully Andrew Garfield and everyone do their voices for the game- the first movie game's VA's were okay but it'd be so much cooler if everyone from the movie did their voices
bloodbath666
My lack of interest in movies based on comic books (due to studios wiping their butts with the source material) really hinders my desire for these games, and makes me wish they would make a game that is not tied in with the film. Games like Ultimate Spider-Man, Shattered Dimensions, and Edge of Time were quite good.
ahughes03
It look really good but the price…
gearhead32
@12 PS2 graphics?.What a ridiculous comment.
Bloody_Marcel
Will this support PlayStation Move? Loved the implementation in the first one.
I like spiderman games. In fact spiderman 2 was my fav on ps2. Unfortunately, in terms of graphics this game looks the same. Really? How is this a ps4 game? It looks like ps3 style graphics. At least make it more realistic looking. Boxy cars and animations were back in 2006 and should stay there.
I know graphics don't make a game, and I like the rest of what was shown. But ugh the graphics are horrible. Looks like something the wii or ps2 would put out….
ps2* Didnt mean to put ps3

I'm just hearing that there isn't a Vita version which is weird since the first Spider-Man for Vita was just released not to long ago. I am not a Vita owner but I just feel bad for those that are anticipating the sequel after playing the first one. I really enjoyed The Amazing Spider-Man and recommend it to other gamers who haven't played it yet. According to the title of this blog the video is supposed to be the PS4 version. I would have never known because it really does look exactly like last generation's Amazing Spider-Man. I was hoping for a nice boost in graphics but that's just my personal opinion. The city from above isn't looking as great as I was hoping for it to be. The roof tops all pretty much look the same and could of used some more detail to bring it to life. If you google New York City from above you'll see what I mean. The city didn't look that busy either. I was expecting to see more of a population in such a lively city. Birds? Planes? Rain? It would of been so cool if you could swing around the city with lighting in the air.
With the PS4 being new generation and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 being kind of the first movie to game choice I was just hoping for a little bit more then what I'm already used to but that's just my opinion. I noticed you didn't mention anything about the touch pad (PS4) or motion control. When you pull up the smart phone you should be able to use the touch pad so it feels more real and the motion control could be used to push enemies away who have a grip on you, finish a combo, or solve some puzzles.
Amnalehu
Did anyone else start to get motion sickness as he swung through the city? The game looks decent…
eboyfly09
This looks like an early ps3 game… Hope the final build doesn't look this bad. I'm speaking purely on the visuals. Also, Peter Parker looks way too bulky. Who am I kidding though, I'll buy this day 1 and enjoy the hell out of it like I did the last one.
Orejillz
I heard all the demos shown so far have been on PlayStation 3 and XBox 360, are you guys going to show what it looks like on PS4 anytime soon so we can see the difference?
JPdelaGhetto
That looked pretty awesome. I got a bit giddy at the Spidey YoYo stealth take down. Shades of the Noir segments from Shattered Dimensions. I love the web swing mechanics that made Spider-Man 2 so popular came back, but I'm just a bit worried it'll affect the combat. I'm not sure how awesome fight sequences like the Spider Slayer encounters from the first Amazing Game would work without the automatic swing features it had.
SILVERX200
Graphically sad and pathetic. Hire some real artistic talent. Cities are more than brown repetitive structures with reflective textures placed everywhere. There is all sorts of texture and design, none of which are apparent in this city design. This looks like a first-gen PS3 game with better resolution.
You are not an impressive studio, Beenox. Take some lessons from Rocksteady, Sucker Punch, Naughty Dog, etc.
tidus162003
this game is going to be AWSOME! because beenox is my favorite video game company
TheAgency47
Great googamooga the game is looking amazing. Cant wait to pick it up.
can you change clothes without going to your apartment. it would be so cool fighting robots in the city flying around and all and after you destroy them you go in to in alley and change to peter parker when no ones looking! Please answer
You can change clothes in Aunt May's House or when you unlock a new one in a Russian Hideout.
i also wonder if you can dodge while your web slinging. like if your in a car chase and one of the thugs is shooting at you with a machine gun and your spider sense goes off while your swinging you do a barrel roll or something that would make car chases way more cooler. If only i was a beenox director.
No you can't, but it sounds cool!
if you pre order the game you get 4 suits and you can unlock 15 suits so who ever pre ordered the game will get 19 suits
spidervenom90
the developers said 15 skins minus the gamestop exclusives. and will the black suit tear? also, since we can no longer swing in thin air {no complaint} can we use the web par shoot? and what about the web zip?
benosborne13
This looks incredible, great job Beenox!
Expanding on the Peter Parker gameplay is there any way for the player to explore the city streets at all during free roam or even after completion (Without Powers) or at least other explorable areas such as his best friend Harry's apartment or maybe something else? And last but not least will the Sam Raimi red suit and Sam Raimi black suit be making a return in this game?
You can't play as Peter Parker at any time, it wouldn't make sense to replay a mission where you face off with a villain without your suit. You will be able to visit locations in free roam, some as Peter Parker, some as Spider-Man. Revealing these locations would spoil the game.
is kingpin only in a Sealth level
in the trailer ck is a easter egg or is it the killer?
We can't answer, that would be a spoiler.


Hello guys, this Christmas is coming, Halloween festival is also coming near to us. Therefore, today we will play a horrible map named The House Resurrection Map to welcome the coming Halloween. Generally, the content of this horrible map is that you will become an alone person in a random house or random dark place. This map is like that. However, it is not your choice to live alone, it is because your daughter died and your wife is so sad and after that she left (or died, maybe).
It is obvious that you are sad with this situation. You just want to forget everything. You have already tried therapy, psychologist, but your big loss cannot remove to be as normal. You dream a lot of terrible dreams at nights and it is the time to find the truth and end the story.

We're excited to announce that we will be continuing the Cycle Sierra Nevada Scholarship Program for 2017. We want to provide an opportunity for young cyclists, both male and female, to take part in one of our Cycling Training Camps completely free of charge.
We're excited to announce that we will be continuing the Cycle Sierra Nevada Scholarship Program for 2016. We want to provide an opportunity for young cyclists, both male and female, to take part in one of our cycling training camps completely free of charge.
The Cycle Sierra Nevada Scholarship Program was developed as a way to sponsor young cyclists that may not have opportunity or financial capacity to avail of a cycling training camp. The aim of the scholarship is to bring together a group of young athletes from different nationalities with the chance to participate in a week´s training together in Andalucia, southern Spain. Some of the riders that joined us for our camp in 2015 have gone on to sign professional contracts with World Tour teams for 2016.
STEP 1 - Enter the contest by sharing photos of all of your training sessions (this may include cycling, but also running or any other training you do) in October on Instagram and tagging them with #csnscholarship and @cyclesierranevada.
This isn't a photography competition, its to document which of the applicants are training but try and have fun with the photos you submit! In the caption, tell us why you want to come to a Cycle Sierra Nevada training camp and how the scholarship will help you.
Entries are accepted until 31st of October 2015, and from these entries, we'll choose 20 semi-finalists to be considered for the Cycle Sierra Nevada Scholarship for 2016.
STEP 2 - The 20 semi-finalists from Step 1 will be asked to complete an application with a brief essay and from that application we'll select up to 8 people to receive a Cycle Sierra Nevada Scholarship for 2016.
Cycle Sierra Nevada will be offering a number of free places on our Winter Cycling Training Camps in Andalucia, Spain to Junior and U23 cyclists in 2016.
All applicants must be 17 years of age or older at the beginning of 2016.
Lectures on nutrition and training advice.
We believe this to be a valuable opportunity for young cyclists and all applications will be taken into consideration. Part of our mission is to help the participants learn and develop tools to become better athletes. However, we are not in the business of selling dreams, cycling is an incredibly demanding sport and a life as a professional is simply unattainable for the majority. The main emphasis of our Cycling Scholarship Camps will not be overly competitive in nature but simply for the individuals selected to enjoy their time here in Spain.
If you're a younger cyclist and can't quite afford to get yourself to a winter cycling training camp then the Cycle Sierra Nevada Scholarship is for you.


You are here: Home › Blog › Microscopic clownfish!
A research team has engineered the smallest image ever created. These clownfish and their host anemone are printed on a surface area that measures only 0.0092 mm² and is invisible to the naked eye!
You'll forgive the pixellation when you realize how impossibly tiny this image is.
Researchers from Scrona Ltd. and ETH Zurich joined forces to create the world's smallest image certified by Guinness World Record. All this detail is contained in only 0.0092 mm² (1.42600285e-5 in²), which is no wider than a human hair! This equates to an astounding resolution of 25,000 DPI!
Quite fitting for its reef subject, the research team employed a type of inkjet-printable LED technology called quantum dots, which Advanced Aquarist has written about before, to paint the microscopic clownfish and anemone. And when we say microscopic, we really mean it: only 30 µm (0.001 inches) in length!

Mubadala to co-invest with AMERRA Capital in aquaculture company
by Administrador web|Published June 21, 2018
AMERRA's Andromeda will buy majority stakes in two European fishing farming companies with the participation of the Abu Dhabi firm.
Mubadala Investment Company, the Abu Dhabi strategic firm with over $200 billion in assets under management, said on Thursday it has agreed to invest in an aquaculture company alongside US private equity firm AMERRA Capital Management.
Greece's Andromeda Group, which is owned by AMERRA, will acquire majority stakes in two European fishing farming companies Nireus and Selonda and Mubadala will participate in the combined business venture, the Abu Dhabi firm said in a statement. It did not disclose the size of the stakes or the value of the transaction, which is subject to merger control approvals and other customary conditions.
"Mubadala took the decision last year to build its presence in the agribusiness sector, which is strategically important to the global economy and has significant potential for value capture,'' said Elham Al Qasim, Agribusiness Director at Mubadala. "Aquaculture is one of the most promising sub-sectors, where the deployment of new technologies can drive productivity improvements and accelerate growth."
Mubadala, which invests in various sectors abroad and has stakes in major companies in the UAE, has been a very active investor this year.
Earlier this month it announced a partnership with Japan's SoftBank Group to launch a $400 million fund that will target investment in European technology companies.
"With our focus on aquaculture and agriculture investments, we are excited by the synergies that can be created between these companies," said Thor Talseth, managing director of AMERRA Capital Management and Andromeda Group Chairman. "We believe that significant value can be created by building on the comparative advantages of the Mediterranean aquaculture sector."
AMERRA Capital has more than $2bn in assets under management and has invested over $3.5bn since its inception in 2009.
MD Sass-Macquarie Financial Strategies, a joint venture between MD Sass and the Macquarie Group, launched AMERRA in 2009.

Watch: Texas School Shooter Salvador Ramos' Mom Speaks Out
The mother of the Texas school shooter who massacred 19 children and two teachers pleaded on Friday for victims to "forgive me, forgive my son."
Adriana Martinez, the mom of deranged 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos, wept in her car as she insisted she had no idea what led her son to snap — though she added that he must have had his "reasons."
"I have no words to say, I don't know what he was thinking," Martinez told the Spanish-language station Televisa.
SHOOTER'S MOTHER SPEAKS OUT: Mother of Texas school shooting suspect Salvador Ramos apologizes: "Forgive me, forgive my son. I know he had his reasons."
🎥CNN News Source

— WMBF News (@wmbfnews) May 27, 2022
"He had his reasons for doing what he did. Please don't judge him. I only want the innocent children who died to forgive me," she said. "Forgive me, forgive my son. I know he had his reasons."
Asked what "reasons" he could have had, she said, "To get closer to those children instead of paying attention to the other bad things. I have no words. I don't know."
Ramos, 18, killed 21 people with a semi-automatic rifle at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on Tuesday. At least 17 others — including his grandmother who was shot in the face — were injured.
Martinez, who was pictured by Fox News praying on the porch of her parents' Uvalde home, has previously insisted Ramos was "not a violent person" but could get "aggressive" when angry.
Her father has said the teen was living with him and his wife because he "had problems" with his mom.
Martinez was seen outside her home in Uvalde Friday — with the property now bearing several "NO TRESPASSING" signs on the gates leading up to the driveway.
A neighbor told The Post that Martinez lived with a man at the home for years but he wasn't sure if it was the teen's father or just a boyfriend.
"I just knew someone lived with her and they would argue," he said Friday. "The arguments didn't happen all the time, but when they would yell at each other, cops would come. I wouldn't say that happened throughout Salvador's whole life because once that guy was out of their lives, nothing really went on. Things were mostly quiet again."
Ramos' grandparents, however, were always around the home, the neighbor said.
"The grandpa is a very hardworking man and it's sad some people are blaming him for what happened. Grandma was always cleaning the yard, fixing things all the time," he said. "She just built a little tiny house on the property that was just completed a few months ago. I feel for them. I see some people bashing them and it's not fair."
Looking at his own young son, the neighbor choked back tears as he talked about Tuesday's carnage.
"When those kids were born, their parents laid down with their child without even a slight thought that something like this would ever happen. It just breaks my heart," he said.
"I'd rather Uvalde stay unknown and this not happen. They are talking about our little town all over the news. My hometown is going viral but for the worst reason possible."
Ramos' father, who has the same name, has also spoken out, saying he is "sorry [for] what my son did."
"I never expected my son to do something like that," the father told the Daily Beast on Thursday. "He should've just killed me, you know, instead of doing something like that to someone."
The father told the Daily Beast he had not been in his son's life much of late due to his job away from Uvalde.
He said he had also been away from his son due to the pandemic as he did not want to expose his own mother — who is suffering from cancer — to the virus. The COVID-19 restrictions strained the duo's relationship, with his son refusing to speak to him about a month ago.
The two hadn't seen each other since, he said.
Still, the elder Ramos insisted his son "was a good person," saying he dropped out of high school because he was bullied over his clothes.
"He was a quiet person, stuck to himself. He didn't bother nobody. People were always bothering him," the father said.

Western Baptist Bible College is in the process of developing an On-Line Distance Learning Program. When it becomes available, it will be announced through all media channels. We thank you for your patience.


Busy schedules, long to do lists, and deadlines make it tough for developers to get familiar with some of the advanced features their tools provide. This is a shame, because some features, like Eclipse Templates, can really reduce coding time and errors.
You already know that Eclipse PDT provides autocompletion and hints for PHP's built in functions. In addition, commenting your code with PHPDoc adds autocompletion and hinting for your application's classes, methods, and variables. If you haven't already discovered, Eclipse PDT also provides autocompletion of PHP's control structures, class definitions, and methods through code templates.
During my first attempts, the jQueryWTP patch installer wouldn't run on Mac OS X 10.4.11 at work. The patch wouldn't run on Leopard at home either. Neither the jQueryWTP project nor its SourceForge download page provide Java or WTP version requirements. All screenshots I've seen show installation on Windows. After a lot of flailing, I was eventually able to get the patch installed. Here is an archive of my trials and tribulations.

Abbott strikes deals with heart valve replacement companies

Reuters/Kham
Abbott Laboratories (ABT.N) on Thursday said it would buy a small private company and has invested in another, with an option to buy, as it places bets on the future growth potential of minimally invasive systems to replace diseased heart valves.
Abbott said it has agreed to acquire the equity in Minnesota-based Tendyne Holdings Inc that it does not already own for $225 million plus future payments tied to regulatory milestones. Abbott already had a 10 percent stake in the company worth about $25 million.
In a separate transaction in which financial details were not disclosed, Abbott said it has provided capital to and secured an option to purchase California-based Cephea Valve Technologies.
Both private companies are developing systems to replace diseased mitral valves in the heart while sparing patients traditional chest-cracking open-heart surgery.
Neither deal is expected to alter Abbott's 2015 earnings forecast, the company said.
Abbott currently sells MitraClip, a minimally invasive device used to repair a leaking mitral valve.
The incidence of mitral valve disease is about three times that of aortic valve disease, with multibillion-dollar sales potential, Abbott said.
"Given the market opportunity and clinical need, we see this as a significant driver for growth several years from now," John Capek, head of Ventures for Abbott said in an interview.
Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement systems are considered among the most important growth drivers for both Edwards Lifesciences (EW.N) and Medtronic (MDT.N).
The dual flap mitral valve sits on the left side of the heart between upper and lower chambers and helps facilitate proper blood flow in the heart.
U.S. regulators have given the green light to a study to test the safety and effectiveness of Tendyne's mitral valve system, which has begun enrolling patients, Abbott said. It plans to begin enrolling patients next year for a trial aimed at gaining European approval.
The Tendyne valve has been implanted in 10 people so far, Capek said.
"We're very impressed with results," he said. "Those 10 patients have done remarkably well."
The Cephea valve system is at a much earlier stage of development, he said.
Abbott shares were down 33 cents at $50.73 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Term Papers Online
Not over. Paper was big money, and the
Not too long ago, sharing information with thousands of people worldwide
was a serious industry which was factually correct and actually trusted. The
cost of printing newspapers and magazines and the time and manpower it took to
produce and transport them created physical barriers to how much could be
written and how much we as intellectuals could read. Before word counts and
three-minute reads were even a thought journalists were allotted column inches
which they could not go over. Paper was big money, and the space your publisher
set aside was a representation for the value and quality of your story.
Today, those limits have completely
evaporated, and we've lost our best neurological shortcut for deciding who to
trust. The democratisation
of publishing seemed like a great idea, but honestly it has been a disaster for
democracy. With the rise of websites such as Complex, VICE and Buzzfeed
anything can be published. I recently watched a video about a woman working for
BuzzFeed who couldn't think of anything to write one day for work, so she wrote
about Malta and became overnight famous in Malta and ended up meeting a
relative of the Prime Minister. (BuzzFeedVideo, 2017).
We, as a human species, we thought more information would make us more intelligent
and allow us to consider a wider range of theories and allow us to broaden our
horizons. Instead, our brains have gone into overdrive to completely do the
opposite. In a way, people of this generation are doing anything to take in
less information than ever before. Without any limits on what can be published
or how much we can consume, we've decided we can't trust anything we read.
There is so much fake news that's very heavily thrown around on the internet
these days that trusting something you read just is something that needs to be
very carefully considered.
The internet has played the biggest
roll in the democratisation of media because everything is available at the
click of a button and it's easier than ever to find something you wish to
read/watch or listen to. The fact that we as the generation that are the most
technologically informed have played a big part in that. Faced with a never-ending
scrolling news feed, our brains revert to a digital form of fight or flight. Some of the people that read embrace their social
media bubbles and they're completely okay with that being their lives. They rely on their friends to
provide a new, perspective on the information they receive. This is the fight reaction, because it leads to more anger, more
conflict and more divergence.
The three most searched webpages of 2017 were, Google, Facebook and
YouTube. This reiterates my point that people are getting their information
from different places now, whereas some 50 years ago the only places to get the
news was a newspaper and the select people that had televisions in their homes.
The world has evolved and so have the inhabitants of it, physical sources such
as newspapers and magazines are on the decline and online sources are booming
more than ever.
Your friends cannot contribute anything in your quest to become an
informed, responsible citizen?—?they post on social
media so they can feel smart or edgy, and so they can grab a momentary rush of
dopamine from a few hours of approval and attention. That's not a recipe for a
calm, balanced view of the world. It's a recipe for disaster, everything that's
posted on social media anymore is hunting for likes, retweets and followers and
this is what people use to value their importance. They got 13 likes on that
photo, they're ugly. They have 27,000 followers and they feel as if they're
somehow more important than the next person.
Others go off the grid and shun the news entirely,
these are the people who aren't willing to embrace change and see that the
world is changing every day and social media and the internet are at the front
of it all. The media have fully embraced that, you see every single source of media
out there is now there at the click of a button.
However, this works well if you
truly aim to live in a cabin in the woods, but a certain degree of engagement
and understanding of government and current events is an essential to being an
active participant in society. The urge to cut yourself off is the natural flight response to the threat of infinite information.
It protects your brain in the short term, but it prevents you from reaching
your potential. (Rob Howard, 2017)
The rest of us rely on an elaborate set of tools,
tricks and willpower to strike a fragile balance.
But even the best time-trackers and
ad-blockers can only get you so far. Every time you engage with the media
vortex, you're using willpower, exposing yourself to stress, and making it more
likely you'll get sucked back in. All that risk, and there's no guarantee you'll
even find a source you trust because everything is so easily manipulated and
twisted for someone's own agenda, you don't know fact from fiction anymore.
We can't deny the value of
technology and the Internet, and there were plenty of problems when journalism
was ruled by a supremacy of major publishers. But we also can't build a nation
of knowledgeable citizens in an environment of unlimited stimulation and
information overload.
The truth hidden behind the likes, comments and
clickbait is that the world is not quite as extreme and chaotic as
it seems.
When we step back from the vortex, even for a few days, the snap
reactions to scary stories and angry tweets fade away. We have the calm,
relaxed focus to see the big picture?—?including the parts of
the world we like and the parts we want to change?—?and we can use that
renewed energy to become the citizens the world deserves.

3 LA Chargers who must step up to beat the Chiefs in Week 15
Minnesota Vikings v Los Angeles Chargers / Ronald Martinez/GettyImages
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports
3. Mike Williams
We sound like a broken record at this point as Mike Williams is always included in these articles but the math is pretty simple. When Mike Williams has a big game the Chargers win. When Mike Williams cannot get involved in the offense than the Chargers typically lose.
At the time of writing this, there is still no word on whether or not Keenan Allen will be able to play in this game but with him being put on the covid-19 list last Monday there is a good chance that he will play. Regardless of if he plays or not, the Chargers have to make sure Williams gets involved.
Just look at the last time that these two teams played. Williams hauled in seven receptions for 122 yards and two touchdowns. Overall, Williams averages 88.3 yards and 5.3 receptions per game in wins with six total touchdowns. In losses, Williams averages 41.8 yards and 3.8 receptions per game.
Williams has only had one quiet game in a Chargers' win, which was on Monday Night Football against the Las Vegas Raiders. Even against the Philadelphia Eagles, where his overall numbers were not great, he had the biggest catch of the game on a deep pass from Herbert.

While the Chiefs' defensive numbers have been better in recent weeks their defensive turnaround is a bit of a mirage. Unless they undergo serious changes, there is no reason why Williams can't have another big game against the Chiefs. It doesn't have to be a two-touchdown game but Williams is due for a 100-yard game.

Congratulations to the Collegian for receiving an Online Pacemaker award from the Associated College Press. The National Pacemaker Awards are considered the most prestigious honors in college journalism and awarded to the nation's top college media outlets.
The Collegian was also ranked the No. 4 student newspaper in the United States by The Princeton Review in August and won numerous awards throughout the year for its reporting, design, and visuals.
The Daily Collegian has been more than a "daily" newspaper for a while now. Thanks to the internet, we are constantly working around the clock to be the Penn State community's go-to news source.
But starting this spring, the Collegian will move away from printing five days a week and will instead print twice a week, on Monday and Thursday.
However, please note that it is only the press racks that will see a change in our news coverage — we still are The DAILY Collegian and in many ways we are more than that, as we work throughout the day and night to serve our audience better in an increasingly digital world.
We regret to announce the passing of Ruth Shakin '50 on September 28. Ruth was featured in a profile in the inaugural issue of the We Are Daily Collegian magazine for her successful career in fashion that started when she created the Collegian's first four-page fashion edition. We learned of her passing the day after the magazine went to press.
Ruth's daughter, Lisa, wrote: "The Daily Collegian and Penn State always meant so much to my mom, and she was so honored to be featured in this publication."


Twin sisters Claire & Poppy are accidental social media stars thanks to Mom going viral when they were babies. Now, as teens, they're expected to contribute by building their own brand. Attending a NY fashion week and receiving fan mail is a blast. Fending off internet trolls and would-be kidnappers? Not so much. Poppy embraces it. Claire hates it. Will anybody accept her as "just Claire"? And what should Claire do about Mom's old journals? The handwritten entries definitely don't sound like Mom's perfect blog persona. Worse, one of them divulges a secret that leaves Claire wondering what else in her life might be nothing but a sham . . .
Just For Clicks by Kara McDowell is a book that discusses internet fame and the struggles young influencers face. I loved the prominent theme of family and the main character who faces many challenges. The story provides interesting insight, and some heavy topics are discussed alongside some fun.
This book tells the story of Claire and Poppy, internet influencers who pretty much have it all. However, Claire wants to be normal, but the brand would fall apart if she were to quit. I enjoyed how the story tackles the subject of what family is, and I love any book about sisters. There are also some multimedia aspects such as texts and emails at the end of each chapter, which are an engaging addition. Fans of books about internet culture will enjoy this one.
Claire is a realistic main character, and I sympathized with her. She doesn't really fit in with the rest of her family, but she also doesn't want to disappoint them. Everything about her is available online, and she feels pressure to contribute to the brand instead of being her true self. I was glad to see her transform and go with what she wants throughout the book.
Just For Clicks is a thought-provoking novel that raises questions about today's internet culture and internet fame. I enjoyed the theme of family and the authentic main character. I enjoyed this one, and I would recommend it to those looking for a book that is both cute and contemplative.
Born in the mountains and raised in the desert, Kara McDowell spent her childhood swimming, boating, and making up stories in her head. As the middle of five children, Kara entertained her family on long road trips by reading short mystery stories out loud and forcing everyone to guess the conclusion. After graduating from Arizona State University with a BA in English Literature, Kara worked as a freelance writer. Now she writes young adult novels from her home in Arizona, where she lives with her husband and three young sons.
JUST FOR CLICKS is Kara's debut novel.
This book went immediately on my TBR when I first heard about it. This sounds amazing and I can't wait to dive in.
I think this would be so fun to read. I'm a blogger, and my kids are often torn between loving and hating my blogginess.
I keep hearing great things about this book. It wasn't on my radar but I think it is now. great review.
Recently, I've been hearing good things about this book! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Great review!
Definitely on my TBR list!!! This book sounds amazing!!!!
Sounds like a fun read. I have to grab this one too.


The Walton network was named after Charlie Walton, the inventor of the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), which is a technology that uses electromagnetic fields to identify and track devices attached to objects. Walton intends to use this technology to enable Machine-to-Machine transactions between everyday objects, a concept colloquially referred to as the Internet-of-Things. According to the project's white paper, the Walton network will enable the creation of state channels to facilitate these interactions. Although the same document states that WTC has a unique network, the current implementation of the token is on top of the Ethereum blockchain, as a simple ERC20 token. We were unable to verify any technical development regarding the promised state channel network.

As you are all aware, we are celebrating 157th Income Tax Day today and on this momentous occasion, I am extremely happy to extend heartiest good-wishes and felicitations to you all as well as to all your family members.
Though income tax was first introduced on 24th July, 1860 by the British to compensate for the losses suffered by them during our first war of independence in 1857, post-independence our Department has committed itself to collect revenues for the Central Government, essentially required to finance public welfare schemes, infrastructure projects and security of the nation. The evolution of our Department has thus run parallel to the socio- economic progression of our country.
In last few years, we have rapidly transformed ourselves from an enforcement agency to a citizen- centric, non-adversarial tax administration which has been possible due to adoption of new technology, a change in mindset of our workforce and the dedication and hard-work put in by one and all to commit ourselves in the task of nation-building through revenue mobilization and encouraging more and more people to become tax compliant. It is absolutely critical at this stage that we do not lose our focus and continue to strive to excel in our endeavors with integrity, competence and professionalism, bench marked against the international best practices in the area of direct tax administration.
Let us all rededicate ourselves today to the service of nation with the pledge that we shall continue to live by our core values of equity, transparency and accountability and will leave no stone unturned to contribute towards making a new , vibrant and self-reliant India.

Sooner Roof Restoration metal roof coatings give building owners a number of benefits that include a seamless liquid applied application to help prevent leaks and create a more energy efficient interior climate control. These roofing systems are field applied, fully adhered, and seamless liquid membranes that can be used for metal roof maintenance and metal roof repair. When used for building roof maintenance, metal roof coatings may qualify for a 100% tax deduction the first year!
Looking for a Way to Restore and Protect a Non-Metal Flat Roof?
We do much more than just coat metal roofs. We can restore and protect all types of commercial flat roofs including modified bitumen, built-up smooth, built-up gravel, EPDM, single-ply, spray foam, and concrete. Learn more here.
Metal roofs are commonly found on commercial or industrial facilities. The benefit to a metal roof is it's cost efficiency during construction. The drawback to many metal roofs is they can be very challenging to keep watertight long term. Metal is such a conductor of energy, the UV rays from the sun cause the roof temperatures to reach 150°F-170°F during peak summertime weather. These temperatures cause the roof to expand and contract levels that cause the fasteners to eventually back out causing leaks in the building. Without proper maintenance most metal roofs eventually rust and degrade to the point where replacement is necessary.
Sooner Roof Restoration metal roof coatings are seamless, bright white, and reflective. This means, in addition to limiting the areas where a leak can occur - seams are one of the most common places where a roof leak begins - the bright white reflectivity of the roof coating makes the sun's harmful UV rays bounce off the top coat before harming the roof. This also reduces thermo-cycling, the destructive process where the sun's heat wears down the roof prematurely due expansion and contraction.
Sooner Roof Restoration uses elastomeric roof coatings that will seal and protect almost any roof substrate including modified bitumen roofs, smooth builtup roof, gravel built up roof, spray foam, concrete flat roofs, metal roofing, EPDM, single-ply, wood, steel, and most traditional roofing systems. Our roof coatings are rubber roof membranes that are liquid applied and require minimal roof top equipment. This provides the building owner with a business as usual condition during the roof coating application process. After the roof coating application is complete, we can offer a long term, roof coating manufacturer's material and/or system warranty to keep your mind at ease for years to come.
We have roofing systems that are UL, FM, and Miami-Dade County approved. Energy Star products and systems are also Sooner Roof Restoration roofing standards.

Léon Méthot (13 May 1895 – 6 August 1972) was a Progressive Conservative Party member of the Senate of Canada. He was born in Trois-Rivières, Quebec and became a lawyer.

The son of Georges Méthot and E. Rousseau, he was educated at the Séminaire de Trois-Rivières and the Université Laval, was called to the Quebec bar in 1919 and practised in Trois-Rivières. In 1929, he was named King's Counsel.

Méthot made attempts to gain a House of Commons of Canada seat at the Three Rivers riding, first as a Conservative in the 1935 election then as a Progressive Conservative in the 1945 election. He was unsuccessful with both these campaigns.

He was appointed to the Senate for the Shawinegan, Quebec division on 12 October 1957 following nomination by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. Méthot remained in that role until his death on 6 August 1972.

"A Man with No Limits or Restrictions": New Revelations from the Court of Mu'ammar Qaddafi
Posted on July 26, 2012 by McGregor
According to a former Libyan official who was intimately acquainted with Mu'ammar Qaddafi's personal and political affairs, "Al-Qaddafi was a man with no limits or restrictions; he did anything he wished. He was tyrannical and arrogant. He thought that no one had the right to take him to account about anything." The revelations emerged in a five-part interview by a pan-Arab daily of Nuri al-Mismari, a former state protocol secretary with the rank of minister of state (al-Hayat, July 15; July 17; July 18; July 19). Al-Mismari was one of Qaddafi's inner circle of aides and retainers, a position that gave him unique access to the personal and state secrets of the Qaddafi regime, secrets that would later place his life in jeopardy before he split from the regime in 2010.
Nuri al-Mismari (right) with Mu'ammar Qaddafi
The chief protocol officer says he was frequently imprisoned by Qaddafi, who would also occasionally punch him in the face. After leaving for France after being tipped off about a plot to murder him, al-Mismari claims he was told by other officials that Qaddafi was "preparing a basin of acid to drown me in as soon as I returned."After Libya failed in its attempt to extradite al-Mismari, it sent an assassination team. The former Libyan official was placed in protective custody until the would-be assassins left France. There followed a procession of individuals trying to persuade al-Mismari to return to Libya, including the Libyan ambassador to France, members of al-Mismari's family and even a personal visit from Qaddafi's son, Mutassim al-Qaddafi (later killed in captivity after his capture during the October, 2011 Battle of Sirte).
Al-Mismari shed new light on the 1978 disappearance of Musa al-Sadr, the influential Iranian-born founder of the Afwaj al-Muqawama al-Lubnaniya (AMAL – Lebanese Resistance Detachments) and two companions while visiting Libya. Libya has long claimed the three men left Libya for Italy, but Italian officials insist the men never entered the country (see Terrorism Monitor Brief, September 22, 2011). According to al-Mismari, former Libyan intelligence chief Abdallah al-Sanusi (then a junior intelligence officer) asked the chief of protocol to obtain Italian visas for the passports of Imam Musa al-Sadr and his two companions. Al-Mismari claims that Libyan intelligence took advantage of the lax inspection routine for those travelling under diplomatic passports by sending a military intelligence officer to Italy who resembled the Imam and who wore al-Sadr's clothing. The officer then returned to Libya using his own diplomatic passport while the passports of the missing men were left in a hotel room in Italy to be discovered by authorities, leaving the Qaddafi regime with documented "proof" that Imam al-Sadr and his companions had left Libya for Italy.
Regarding the September, 1989 bombing of UTA Flight 772 over Niger that killed 156 passengers and 15 crew members, al-Mismari confirmed the account of former Libyan foreign minister Abd al-Rahman Shalgham, who said a year ago that the bombing was part of a Libyan intelligence plot to kill opposition leader Muhammad al-Maqrif (who turned out to not be on the plane) (al-Hayat, July 18, 2011). Al-Mismari adds that Libyan officials also thought the plane was carrying a number of leading Chadian officials, including president Hissène Habrè. Abdallah al-Sanusi and five other Libyans were tried and convicted in absentia in a French court in 1999 for their role in the bombing. The missing men are believed to have been killed on Qaddafi's orders and buried in the desert near Sirte.
Despite his efforts to establish close relations with a host of African nations, Qaddafi privately mocked their heads of state, especially those who proved particularly fawning: "Al-Qaddafi loved to scorn and insult heads of state. He would say 'bring me the black man' – meaning the head of state of an African country – who was preparing to meet with him. When this head of state would leave, al-Qaddafi would say 'the black man has left, give him something.'"
According to al-Mismari, Qaddafi liked to humiliate others by sleeping with their wives. His sadistic proclivities often resulted in scandalous situations that the protocol chief and others were forced to tidy up through large cash payments or the granting of government contracts. Qaddafi was also "terribly sexually deviant… young boys and so on… They used to be called the 'services group.' All of those were boys, bodyguards and harem for his pleasure." Qaddafi would "indulge his debaucheries" in a vast underground residence at the Bab al-Zawiyah compound in Tripoli. According to al-Mismari, Qaddafi was advised on matters of virility by Italian president Silvio Berlusconi and was well supplied with pills by his intelligence chief and brother-in-law Abdallah al-Sanusi "to raise his morale and make him feel brave and strong." Of the latter, al-Mismari remarks: "He was gentle, generous, respectful to your face. But he was bloodthirsty and carried out the orders of his master." Al-Sanusi, who is believed to have carried out the 1996 Abu Salim prison massacre of 1,200 suspected Islamists and other prisoners, is now in Mauritanian custody where he faces charges of illegal entry. Libya, France, Scotland and the ICC are all interested in his extradition to face charges in various cases of terrorism and political violence (Reuters, May 21).
Having been present at all state occasions during his time as protocol chief, al-Mismari had a number of observations to offer regarding Qaddafi's relations with various world leaders:
Qaddafi hated Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, "cursing him and calling him petty, stupid and reckless." Qaddafi backed the Iraqi opposition while Saddam supported Qaddafi's enemies in Chad.
Qaddafi appears to have been infatuated with former American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: "He invited her to dinner, and when she entered his private suite, she saw her portrait in a frame, hanging on a wall in his suite. When she saw it, she was shocked." Qaddafi lavished gifts on Rice worth over $212,000, including a diamond ring and a locket with Qaddafi's picture in it. When rebels seized Qaddafi's compound in August, 2011, they discovered a photo album full of pictures of the Secretary of State (CBS, August 25, 2011).
Qaddafi was fond of referring to presidents and kings alike as "my son," including U.S. president Barack Obama: "He used to do that on purpose in order to belittle people. We used to beg him not to say 'My Son' when addressing leaders."
Qaddafi was especially arrogant in his visits to Leonid Brezhnev in the Soviet Union: "[Qaddafi] would set an appointment then be deliberately late. Then, Brezhnev would go and wait for him outside his room at the Kremlin until he came out. It was embarrassing. Brezhnev was old and he could barely walk. Qaddafi would say that he was coming and Brezhnev would wait and wait."
Qaddafi liked to summon visiting leaders in the middle of the night, including Nelson Mandela: "[Qaddafi] told me to get dressed and to fetch Mandela, who was visiting Libya after having left the post of president. I spoke to Mandela's adviser and he said: "Are you insane? The man is asleep and he is sick and his knees hurt." I told him: "these are the instructions." He said: "What kind of instructions? Do you think that Mandela is an employee of yours? I will not allow anyone to wake him up."
When UN Secretary General Kofi Annan visited Tripoli to discuss the Lockerbie bombing Qaddafi had him brought to his tent at night by a circuitous route through the desert, though the tent was only 200 meters from the coastal road. When he finally reached the tent, Annan was genuinely alarmed by the bellowing of camels in the pitch black night, which he took for the roar of lions.
Though Egypt is a far larger and more important country than Libya, Qaddafi never regarded Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak as his equal. During an Arab summit meeting, Qaddafi wore white gloves to avoid directly shaking Mubarak's hand. Mubarak was also once forced to visit Qaddafi in his desert tent, but said afterwards: "If there's a desert next time, then I will not go to Libya."

M23: A New Player in the Proxy Wars of the Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Congolese province of Nord-Kivu, which borders both Rwanda and Uganda on its eastern side, is a land of active volcanoes, mountain gorillas, valuable minerals, warring militias and over 200,000 displaced people. It is also home to M23, a new and powerful militia composed of veteran rebels and professional soldiers. Well-armed and apparently more capable than local units of the national army, M23 poses a new challenge to efforts to restore stability to a region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) that has been in a state of upheaval since the genocide in neighboring Rwanda in 1994.
Colonel Bosco Ntaganda in the hills of Nord-Kivu
M23 has its origins in the Nord-Kivu-based Congrès national pour la défense du peuple (CNDP) of General Laurent "The Chairman" Nkunda, a Congolese Tutsi. The largely Tutsi CNDP is believed to have been sponsored by Rwanda to fight a proxy war with the Hutu supremacist Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (FDLR), a militia formed partly by former Hutu genocidaires. With the CNDP under pressure from an offensive by Congolese and Rwandan troops, the movement's leadership split in January 2009. Nkunda was arrested and detained in Rwanda while General Bosco "The Terminator" Ntaganda, a Rwandan Tutsi wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes committed while both a rebel and an officer in the DRC national army, took control of the movement. Ntaganda agreed to integrate his forces with the Congolese national army, the Forces armées de la République Démocratique du Congo (FARDC), according to the terms of the March 23, 2009 peace agreement, which also ensured Kinshasha would not pursue the ICC warrants against Ntaganda and other CNDP officers. The ICC issued a fresh arrest warrant against Ntaganda on July 13 related to crimes against humanity, murder, rape, pillaging, recruitment of child soldiers and sexual slavery (AFP, July 13). Thomas Lubanga, Ntaganda's former commander in the Union des Patriotes Congolais (UPC) / Forces Patriotique pour la Liberation du Congo (FPLC), was sentenced to 14 years in prison by the ICC earlier this month for recruiting and using child soldiers in the early 2000's.
M23 is named for the March 23, 2009 peace agreement that movement leaders claim Kinshasha has failed to honor (East African [Nairobi], July 16). The movement was born when Colonel Ntaganda led a March mutiny of up to 600 soldiers in Nord-Kivu. Though poor living conditions, pay interruptions and other reasons were cited, it is likely that the main causes of the military revolt were a plan to transfer the former CNDP troops under Ntaganda's command to another part of the DRC and a rumor that President Joseph Kabila had taken a new interest in enforcing the ICC warrant against Ntaganda. Colonel Ntaganda and other Tutsi officers profited from their control of rich mining areas of Nord-Kivu and by trading in tropical hardwoods grown in the region. The Tutsi officers and their men have opposed any transfer from the lucrative Kivu provinces and pose locally as the "protectors" of the Banyamulenge, Congolese Tutsis who live in the region. In the field with Ntaganda are three other senior officers, Colonel Baudouin Ngaruye, Colonel Innocent Zimurinda and Colonel Innocent Kaina, all of whom are accused of massacring civilians, mass rape, mutilations, and other crimes while profiting from illegal taxes on charcoal production and mining operations (IRIN [Nairobi], June 23; AFP, July 13).
M23 Fighters in Bunangana
The M23 movement can be viewed as a revival of the CNDP under a different name, but including many of the same individuals, leading Kinshasha to accuse Rwanda of resuming military and financial assistance to the militia. Congolese concern on this point is understandable – Rwandan forces have invaded the eastern DRC twice since 1998. Kigali in turn believes that Kinshasha has resumed support for Hutu extremists in the FDLR who are allegedly planning terrorist attacks in Rwanda.
A recent M23 offensive in a region bordering the Virunga national park captured the border town of Bunangana on July 6 and drove some 600 FARDC troops and thousands of refugees into Uganda (East African [Nairobi], July 16). The soldiers were disarmed and eventually returned to the DRC. Days later, a M23 spokesman announced the movement had pulled out of the area taken, saying the movement sought to bring the government to negotiations rather than control territory (AFP, July 13). The towns of Kiwandja and Rutshuru were handed over to local police and troops belonging to the UN peacekeeping force, the Mission de l'Organisation des Nations Unies en République démocratique du Congo (MONUSCO). When the towns were re-occupied by FARDC troops the M23 warned the army to get out "or be held responsible for all the consequences" (AFP, July 13).
Believing that M23 was intent on seizing the Nord-Kivu capital of Goma, MONUSCO and the Congolese army deployed over a dozen tanks on the road to Goma. The M23, however, denied it had any such intentions: "Our mission is not to go to Goma. We are strong but we are also disciplined. We know what we are doing" (AFP, July 12; Xinhua, July 13). Three UN and two DRC MI24 and MI25 helicopters flown by Ukrainian pilots strafed M23 positions in the hills of southeast Virunga National Park with rockets and 30mm rounds (AFP, July 13).
In a recent meeting of the 11 nation International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (which includes Rwanda and the DRC), it was agreed to accept a "neutral international force" to eradicate M23, the FDLR and other armed groups in the region ( Daily Monitor [Kampala], July 16AFP, July 15). [1] The idea was then endorsed by the African Union. As of yet, however, potential contributors to this force have not been identified. Meetings on this issue are planned for Kampala at an August 6-7 summit of Great Lakes states (Agence Rwandaise d'Information, July 16). In the meantime, there are reports that the Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF) and the Congolese troops of the FARDC have agreed to mount joint patrols along their common border (Africa Review, July 17). Plagued by indiscipline, FARDC is often viewed as nearly as great a threat to Congolese security as the militias it is supposed to be fighting.
In mid-July, roughly two dozen M23 fighters deserted and surrendered to UN forces, saying they had been recruited in Rwanda and sent to the DRC. However, when the UN took these individuals to the Rwandan border for repatriation, Rwandan authorities refused to accept them, saying there was no evidence they were Rwandan nationals. Rwanda did accept the return of seven members of the Hutu FDLR (AFP, July 15). The ICC issued a warrant this month for FDLR commander Sylvestre Mudacumura, a Rwandan Hutu facing nine counts of war crimes.
Much of the community in Nord-Kivu views the ongoing violence in the region through a prism of tribal rivalries. With M23 being composed largely of Tutsis, senior members of the DRC's ruling party have used public rallies broadcast on state TV to threaten to hunt down all Tutsis in the DRC and send them to Rwanda. Street children and taxi drivers in Goma have used such threats as a license to attack anyone who looks like a Tutsi (IRIN [Nairobi], July 14).

"Christian Brotherhood" Formed in Egypt on the Model of the Muslim Brotherhood
As Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood attempts to consolidate its political control of Egypt's presidency and parliament, the formation of a new "Christian Brotherhood" was announced on July 5. The new movement does not have the endorsement of the Coptic Orthodox Church and is described by its founders as either a "sectarian" or a "liberal and secular" organization that will or will not seek political power, depending on who is asked. Unlike the Muslim Brotherhood, which is still officially unrecognized in Egypt, the new movement will register with the Egyptian Ministry of Social Affairs to obtain legal status. The announcement came at a time of growing sectarian tensions and protests following incidents such as an attack by bearded Islamists on a Coptic woman in the Cairo suburb of Ma'adi for not wearing a veil (al-Masry al-Youm [Cairo], July 7).
Though it is only being activated now, the idea for a Christian Brotherhood movement was first advanced in 2005 by Coptic lawyer and activist Mamdouh Nakhla, the director of the Kalema Center for Human Rights (Cairo) and political analyst Michel Fahmy. The two were later joined by Amir Ayyad of the Maspero Youths Union for Free Copts, who played an important role in organizing the group. According to Fahmy, the movement was activated after the election of Muslim Brotherhood member Muhammad al-Mursi as Egypt's new president to "resist the Islamist religious tide… We created our group to create a balance in the Egyptian political scene." (al-Arabiya, July 5; Bikya Masr [Cairo], July 5).

HHS Now Permits Pharmacists to Administer Pediatric Vaccinations
In an effort to boost childhood immunization rates, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that pharmacists are now permitted to administer vaccines to children ages 3 and older. According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, stay-at-home orders have greatly disrupted routine preventative and follow up care, particularly childhood immunizations. HHS explains that expanding access to vaccines will ensure that rates remain high, help to avoid preventable diseases in children and mitigate the associated public health threat.
As outlined in the HHS news release, all vaccines administered by a pharmacist must be approved or licensed by the Food and Drug Administration and be ordered and delivered according to the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices immunization schedule. Additionally, the pharmacist must complete a training program of at least 20 hours that is approved by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education and hold a current certificate in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The complete list of requirements is outlined in the HHS press release.
As children across the United States return to daycare and schools, HHS says it's critical to reduce the risk of vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks. The HHS amendment is an opportunity for medical providers to instill confidence in parents of pediatric patients about getting vaccinated safely. Physicians are strongly encouraged to emphasize the importance of immunizations and to inform parents about the expanded access, especially those who may still be hesitant to visit an office due to COVID-19. HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Brett Giroir notes that, although the amendment creates more vaccination options, parents and caretakers should still be reminded "that there is no substitute for a critically important well-child visit with a pediatrician or other licensed primary care provider."
Physicians and other providers are advised to monitor all HHS and CDC guidance pertaining to preventative and follow-up care delivery during the pandemic and review MLMIC's blog post highlighting the New York State Department of Health's advisory on ensuring patient access to routine care.
