Freeman Wills Crofts
Freeman Wills Crofts (1879-1957) was an Irish author of detective fiction. Born in Dublin, he spent decades as a railroad engineer in Northern Ireland. When a long illness kept him away from work, he wrote The Cask (1920), a mystery novel that launched him to immediate popularity. He continued writing after he returned to work, finally leaving the railroad in 1929 to write full time. His best-known novels include The Starvel Hollow Tragedy (1927) and The 12:30 from Croydon (1934).
"This early story by Freeman Wills Crofts has lost nothing in the passage of time: indeed, it seems almost better than ever. . . . One of the classics of modern crime fiction." —The New York Times
"The soundest builder of them all." —Raymond Chandler

Cyclin-dependent Kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors have shown clinical activity in patients with endocrine-resistant metastatic breast cancer. During the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Meeting 2016, significant updates on studies with CDK4/6 inhibitors ribociclib, palbociclib and abemaciclib were presented.
Up to 75% of breast cancers express the oestrogen receptor or progesterone receptor. Endocrine therapy is the standard of care for postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative, with aromatase inhibitors being the preferred first-line treatment option.
Dr Hortobagyi discussed the results of the first-line MonaLEEsa-2 study in 668 patients with hormone-receptor positive (HR+) and human epidermal receptor 2 (HER2) negative advanced breast cancer (ABC) (abstract LBA 1_PR). Subjects were randomised 1:1 to either ribociclib (600 mg/day for 21 days in 28-day cycles) plus letrozole (2.5 mg/day, continuous) or ribociclib-matching placebo plus letrozole.
The study met its primary endpoint, investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), at the first preplanned interim analysis, when 243 PFS events had occurred (Figure 1). The addition of ribociclib to letrozole reduced the relative risk of progression disease by 44%. Median PFS for letrozole plus placebo was 14.7 months, median PFS in the ribociclib plus letrozole group was not yet reached (HR = 0.56; 95% CI: 0.43–0.72; P < 0.0001).
Most common grade 3/4 adverse event in the ribociclib plus letrozole group were neutropenia, which occurred in 59% of patients, and leukopenia (21%). In the letrozole plus placebo arm, neutropenia and leukopenia occurred in 1% of patients each.
Other grade 3/4 adverse events in the ribociclib plus letrozole arm included elevated alanine aminotransferase (9%), hypertension (10%), lymphopenia (7%), and elevated aspartate aminotransferase (6%). In the placebo plus letrozole group, these adverse events accounted for 1%, 11%, 1%, and 1% respectively. OS data were not mature at the time of presentation.
The results of the first-in-class CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib included a biomarker analysis in the phase III PALOMA-2 trial and a poster discussion on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the same study.
The phase III PALOMA-2 study randomised 666 women with HR+ and HER2-negative ABC in a 2:1 fashion to either receive palbociclib (125 mg/day for 21 days in 28-day cycles) plus letrozole (2.5 mg/day, continuously) or palbociclib-matching placebo plus letrozole as a first-line treatment.
During the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual conference, held in June 2016, the efficacy results of the PALOMA-2 study were presented. At that time, the results showed a significant 42% relative risk reduction for PFS in women receiving palbociclib plus letrozole when compared to placebo plus letrozole. Median PFS was 24.8 months vs. 14.5 months respectively (HR = 0.58; 95% CI: 0.46-0.72; P < 0.0001).
This ESMO 2016 conference, Dr Finn presented a biomarker analysis on tissue samples of 568 subjects who participated in the PALOMA-2 study (Abstract LBA15). Analysis of oestrogen receptor (ER) expression, cyclin D1 (CCND1), retinoblastoma (RB) and P16 (CDKN2A) status, as well as Ki67 expression, did not result in the identification of sub-populations who did not derive benefit from the addition of palbociclib to letrozole. By H-score, some variation between subgroups was observed, but the addition of palbociclib to letrozole improved PFS across all sub-populations.
Dr Rugo discussed the analysis of the HRQoL in the PALOMA-2 study (Abstract 225PD). Participants were asked to complete the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Breast (FACT-B) questionnaire, which included the FACT-general (FACT-G) and breast cancer-specific subscale (BCS). The results did not show a significant difference in HRQoL outcome between the palbociclib plus letrozole group when compared to placebo plus letrozole (Table 1).
Table 1: HRQoL outcome in the phase III Palome-2 study: No significant difference was observed between palbociclib plus letrozole and placebo plus letrozole. Higher scores indicate better quality of life. FACT-B produces five subscale scores: physical well-being (PWB), social/family well-being (SWB), emotional well-being (EWB), functional well-being (FWB), and a BC subscale (BCS).
ESMO abemaciclib data included two oral presentations.
Dr Hurvitz presented results of the phase II neoadjuvant neoMONARCH study in women with untreated early-stage invasive HR+ and HER2-negative breast cancer (Abstract LBA13).
The study compared in a 1:1:1 fashion abemaciclib (150 mg BID) plus anastrozole (1 mg QD), abemaciclib monotherapy, and anastrozole monotherapy and investigated drop in Ki67 after two weeks of treatment. Upon completion of initial two-week treatment, all patients continued to receive abemaciclib plus anastrozole for an additional 14 weeks, to complete 16 weeks of neoadjuvant treatment. Patients received prophylactic loperamide concomitantly with abemaciclib.
The data represented a first pre-specified interim analysis at nine months. Ki67 data was available for 64 patients (Table 2). Reduction in Ki67 geometric mean percent change from baseline was significantly higher in the abemaciclib plus anastrozole combination and abemaciclib monotherapy arms than in patients receiving anastrozole monotherapy (P = 0.001). Moreover, the number of Ki67 responders (patients achieving a Ki67 < 2.7% at week 2) was higher in the combination and the abemaciclib monotherapy arms.
Table 2: Reduction in Ki67 geometric mean percent (Mean ΔKi67) change from baseline. ABE = abemaciclib; ANZ = anastrozole.
Table 3: Efficacy data in evaluable patients (HER2-negative group: n = 75; HER2-positive group: n = 12). ABE = abemaciclib; ANZ = anastrozole; EXE = exemestane; LET = Letrozole; RAD001 = everolimus; TAM = tamoxifen; TMAB = trastuzumab.
Common grade 3/4 side effects in 173 subjects were neutropenia (7.4%), diarrhoea (2.9%), constipation (1%), and creatinine increase (1%).
This data shows abemaciclib, either in combination with anastrozole or as monotherapy, reduces Ki67 more than anastrozole. Diarrhoea is less severe and frequent when prophylactic loperamide is given concomitantly.
Finally, Dr Beeram presented the results of a phase Ib study combining abemaciclib (BID) with either trastuzumab (HER2-positive group, n = 24) or hormonal therapies (HER2-negative group, n = 86) in patients with metastatic breast cancer (LBA18).
Treatment-related adverse events were mostly fatigue, gastrointestinal and haematological toxicities. However, the abemaciclib combination with exemestane and everolimus was less well tolerated and was associated with stomatitis, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and rash.
75 patients in the HER2-negative group and 12 patients in the HER2-positive group were evaluable for efficacy (Table 3). Dr Beeram concluded that combination of abemaciclib with endocrine treatment or trastuzumab was associated with clinical activity and acceptable safety.

The weird, enchanting beauty of geology maps
Two Williams pioneered geological mapping in Britain and the United States - but the world only remembers one.

Science is often blamed for making the world less 'magical,' but geology maps are proof of the opposite.
William Smith and William Maclure produced amazing geology maps of Britain and the U.S., respectively.
Their pioneering work is still important – and enchanting – today; but one William's legacy outshines the other one's.

Here's one of the worst raps science gets: it has disenchanted the world. Literally dis-enchanted it, by replacing magic with measurement. And so, it has reduced the miracle of life to the banality of being.
There is plenty wrong with that assessment, but nowhere is it more untrue than in the field of geology. Earth scientists have given eloquent voices to the dumb mud and mute rocks beneath our feet. They've pieced together the deep history of the subterranean world – more ancient and more violent than anyone imagined. And they've produced weirdly beautiful maps like these.
Weird, because those colors and borders resist all identification with subdivisions we're more familiar with, like political entities, climate zones or land-use types. No, geological maps strip away all those fads and deal only with the non-ephemeral: the origin and nature of the land itself.
Smith single-handedly mapped an area of more than 175,000 km2 (67,500 sq. mi). Eventually only about 400 copies of the completed map were issued in 1815. About 40 survive today.
Arguably the most famous map in the history of geology is this one, published in 1815 by William Smith, showing the stratification of England, Wales and part of Scotland. For the first time ever, this map presented a detailed overview of the geology of an entire country.
It set the standard for all geology maps that have followed. And it turned geology into a 'practical' science – helping industrialists locate mineable coal seams, for example. Indeed, this was "The Map that Changed the World," as described in a bestselling book of that title.
The book, by Simon Winchester, focuses on the mapmaker's compelling life story. Nicknamed 'Strata' Smith, the lowly-born surveyor noticed how fossils occurred in predictable layers in the side of a freshly dug canal. He struck upon the idea of a stratified geological past and spent the first decade and a half of the 19th century surveying most of Britain to prove his theory.
Accompanying Smith's map was a cross-section of the country, from Snowdon (left) to London, showing how the strata in southern England dip towards the southeast. This was effectively the first 'block diagram', now a standard feature of geographical cartography. Credit: Natural History Museum
Smith's map is remarkably similar to current geological maps of Britain, proving the accuracy of his work. But he had some trouble convincing his contemporaries – which was due at least in part to class differences: London's Geological Society was a gentleman's club, not the natural milieu for a blacksmith's son.
In his fight against social ostracism and professional plagiarism, Smith was forced to sell his fossil collection to the British Museum, lost his house and ended up in debtor's prison. Free again but still homeless, he worked as an itinerant surveyor, until one of his employers recognised him for his work and appointed him Land Steward at an estate near Scarborough.
Smith later designed the Scarborough Rotunda, one of Britain's oldest surviving purpose-built museums. Only in 1831 was he acknowledged by the Geological Society as the 'Father of English Geology.' His work was an inspiration for Charles Darwin.

William Smith's original map can be visited at the Geological Society's headquarters at Burlington House in London, where it hangs side by side with the geological map of England and Wales by George Greenough, the Geological Society's first president and Smith's mapping rival.
Smith's is an impressive rags-to-fame story, and his accomplishments are now widely acknowledged, thanks in large part by the Simon Winchester book.
However, the brightly shining star of Smith's celebrity somewhat obscures the work of one of his American colleagues. In 1809, six years before Smith published his map, William Maclure produced a geological map of the United States. Although inevitably dubbed the 'Father of American Geology', Maclure has not received the bucketloads of fame (granted, mostly posthumous fame) that Smith did.

What a difference a star biographer makes. For Maclure's life story sounds like page-turner material too. A successful Scottish merchant, Maclure was rich enough to retire at 34. Settling in Virginia but moving back and forth to Europe, he devoted the rest of his life to science and philanthropy – an example of the latter was his introduction to Philadelphia of educational courses based on the principles of the Swiss innovator Pestalozzi. He later also contributed to the establishment of a utopian community in New Harmony, Indiana.
Maclure had been bitten by the geology bug on a trip to France. In 1807, he personally started mapping the geology of the then United States, crossing and recrossing the Allegheny Mountains no less than 50 times. The monumental work took him two years to complete. Although he used a different system of classification than Smith, later surveys have confirmed the general accuracy of Maclure's observations.
In 1817, he became the president of the newly founded Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, which he would remain almost until his death. Failing health forced him to abandon the attempt to set up an agricultural college in Indiana. He died in Mexico in 1840. In his will he provided for the establishment of 160 working men's libraries.
The US is much bigger than in Maclure's day, and geology is much more advanced; yet the current map still builds on some of the observations he made in the early 19th century.

The Best Attractions in Saxonburg
Saxonburg, Pennsylvania is a borough that's over 150 years old. Its current role is a peaceful and friendly area that attracts visitors with a love of Pennsylvania history and a slower paced lifestyle. The area is a registered historic district and many of its buildings date back to the founding of the town. Saxonburg's founder John Roebling no doubt had a dream that looked similar to what it looks like now. Whether you are a local or visitor looking to learn more, read on to find out about the best attractions that Saxonburg has to offer.
Saxonburg Museum and the Roebling Workshop
The Saxonburg Museum and its attached recreation of John Roebling's original workshop are a great first stop. There are exhibitions on Roebling and his family, and the workshop is where he made the cable that eventually was used on the Brooklyn Bridge. There's a small-scale replica of the bridge as well, which is a great photo opportunity. Visitors can also see what an original laundry, blacksmith, and general store in Saxonburg looked like. The museum is open seasonally, so be sure to check its hours before visiting. There's a venue called Cooper Hall too which is used to hold events.
Hotel Saxonburg
Centrally located on Main Street, the Hotel Saxonburg can be both a great place to lay your head and to dine in a longstanding piece of Saxonburg history. The building has always been a hotel, unlike other structures on the street that have undergone a number of changes and various businesses over their lifetime.
The Memorial Church
This historic church has been called the center of the borough. Originally a German Evangelical Church, today a Presbyterian congregation worships there. The clocktower is one of the most arresting features. It looks over Main Street, as it has for many decades past.
Saxonburg Historic Walking Tour Map
There is also a resource that exists for those who want to take a look at the attractions on foot at their own pace. The Saxonburg Historic Walking Tour Map can be used for an insight into the many landmarks along Main Street.
South Butler Community Library
The library, which is on the site of the former Berger's Meat Market, has many cultural activities throughout the year. You can take a look at the calendar to see what's on. During Saxonburg's festivals, the library often plays hosts to events or is used as a site for stalls set up to sell local arts and crafts.
JRHS
Not a place, but rather an organization, the John Roebling's Historic Saxonburg Society, Inc works to preserve Saxonburg's unique heritage and architecture. It has been responsible for many landmarks being preserved and saved. Businesses on Main Street also owe a lot to the work of this organization. One of the historians from the society has said that the buildings on this street still have the original clay and straw in their walls, and attributes Saxonburg's charm to the fact that it has not changed much since that time.

THE PLUCK OF THE IRISH
It is a bit late to be celebrating Saint Patrick's Day but such is the Irish presence on the world stage it seems every day is an occasion for an Irish celebration. Despite being one of the world's smallest nations the Irish presence punches well above its weight.
The Irish loomed large in English literature. Many great literary figures, commonly thought of as English are Irish. Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, Bram Stoker. Listening to Chopin's nocturnes is one of life's greatest reveries but it was Irishman, John Field is the father of the piano nocturne.
As a young sailor, I was bemused to discover when visiting Chile that their national hero is Bernard O'Higgins. He was Chilean but was the illegitimate son of Irishman Ambrosio O'Higgins. Ambrosia settled in Spain and later served Spain. He militarily consolidated much of what the conquistadores had won. He must have been a wise dad; his son is revered as the father of Chilean Independence.
In the Great War 37 Irish fighters were recipients of Britain's highest war honour, the Victoria Cross; in the following war, eight recipients were Irish nationals. Not bad for a neutral country.
Off the field of battle the Paddies entertain us: Gay Byrne, Dave Allen, Peter O'Toole, Pierce Brosnan, Richard Harris, Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell, and need I go on.
Most nations' have a reputation for inclinations one way or another. When it comes to orchestral music the Germans strut their stuff. The Italians are untouchable where opera is concerned and in ballet, the French are without equal. The Spanish, like the British, have certainly left their mark on history.
Their talent when it comes to stealing that which isn't theirs is truly the stuff of legends. Between the 12th Century and 1925, the Spanish spent 67% of their time at war England could manage only a piffling 56% of their time at war. There's nothing much new there then. America's playing catch-up.
Forty Shades of Verse: Sublime Verse Irish Flavoured
The Swedes find war revolting but have grown fat on manufacturing arms for warrior nations. It's just that the Irish quietly go about penetrating and running everything and don't make a River Dance spectacular out of it. They are even running the airlines. Ireland's Willie Walsh was Chief Executive of British Airways and Spain's Iberia.
Michael O'Leary runs Europe's most popular airline. Qantas boss is Irishman Alan Joyce and they're joined by Irishmen in senior positions in Brunei, Singapore and Mexico national airlines. Guinness Peat Aviation's CEO, Tony Ryan founded Ryan Air and heads the world's second-biggest airline leasing company.
Joyce puts it down to something in the water – or the Guinness. The Irish don't have it all their own way. In 2009 German Christoph Mueller was appointed CEO of Irish national airlines Aer Lingus. ~ Michael Walsh.
CARDIFF, WALES – FEBRUARY 07: Players of Ireland stand for the National Anthem prior to the Guinness Six Nations match between Wales and Ireland at the Principality Stadium on February 07, 2021 in Cardiff, Wales. Sporting stadiums around the UK remain under strict restrictions due to the Coronavirus Pandemic as Government social distancing laws prohibit fans inside venues resulting in games being played behind closed doors.

Blessed with the task of bringing one of the world's most beloved TV shows to the big screen, Kramer Morgenthau did so with a soft touch, some fitting nods to past gangster films and a wealth of sixties beauty

When it aired at the turn of the millennium, The Sopranos changed the way we viewed episodic television forever. By the time it ended, just shy of ten years later, audiences around the world enjoyed more narrative depth, character development and production value than they'd ever seen before. As the final credits rolled, one thing was certain: there will never be another as iconic as Tony Soprano.
So, how does a filmmaker go about bringing such a story back to life? Albeit in a different time period, with a different performer – James Gandolfini's son, no less – and through a different medium. If you were to draw an answer from Kramer Morgenthau's approach during the creation of The Many Saints of Newark, it would be, 'considerately'.
"We definitely wanted to pay homage to the original series and give it a cinematic quality at the same time," Morgenthau explains. "The original series is film-like itself and has beautiful lighting. But the deference we paid was mostly in the visual language of the film, which is to say, minimalist and classical.
"There's not much camera movement and we created a lot of single compositions, which allowed characters to play in the frame for long periods of time. Often, those frames contain an ensemble that becomes an entire figurative horizon to gaze across – just like a painting.
As the final credits rolled, one thing was certain: there will never be another as iconic as Tony Soprano
"Within single shots, we used wide lenses to bring viewers close to these characters, and make them feel as though they're right there with them," Morgenthau continues. "The camera is often quite low – almost always below eyeline – which brings an Orson Welles quality to the film. It makes the characters larger than life and gives a perspective that's just not quite normal. It's a viewpoint, but not an intrusive one."
The lens choice, more specifically, was a mix of old and new. A selection of modern Panavision T Series anamorphics were coupled with vintage C Series glass, dating back to the late sixties – the same era as The Many Saints of Newark. Naturally, they had a wider appeal to Morgenthau than just their focal lengths.
"Dan Sasaki, Panavision's VP of optical engineering, detuned the lenses to take an edge off the Arri Alexa LF's digital look, letting sources glow and artefact in the frame. We were also able to achieve a very shallow depth of field.
"Part of that came down to the Alexa's large format sensor, which was something we really pushed for on the film," says Morgenthau. "The background falls off in such a beautiful way, which helped maintain the period illusion while working in certain locations. We couldn't control every visible detail, but if the background just went soft, a little more painterly and a little more impressionistic, then suddenly those details aren't an issue. The characters really pop out in the frame."
Large format wasn't without its challenges, though.
"We didn't have the Alexa Mini LF; we had the studio-camera-size version, which made it very difficult for Steadicam and handheld. But it was so worth it to have that sensor. This is a big-screen movie, a cinematic experience, and we wanted the audience to be immersed. That really comes across through anamorphic lenses and large format."

A trope you can't refuse
There's an almost delicate beauty to The Many Saints of Newark's visuals. The warm, film-like atmosphere is a far cry from the harshness found in other iconic titles within the genre. This stands in fierce juxtaposition with the familiar bouts of violence. It's a pleasant turn from heavily stylised, often suppressive convention.
"We wanted the film to have a period feeling, with a genuine naturalism, and a certain expressionist quality. I didn't want it to feel lit," Morgenthau muses.
"A part of that period look meant emulating film stocks from the time – through lighting, lens choice, colouring and the broader production design. Two of the LUTs designed for the movie were Kodachrome and Ektachrome film emulations. Then, at the DI stage, Live Grain added diffusion, softening effects, grain and also gate weave. Some of those details are barely perceptible, but they are present!"
Still, the lighting of the 'gangster flick' is too strong to be overlooked entirely. But how did Morgenthau manage to pay fitting tribute within the confines of a late Summer of Love setting?
"I think the Godfather films are, with lighting by Gordon Willis, the holy grail of all modern mob films. We were very influenced by them, in a way. There's a lot of top and directional light in the film – it may not be hard light like you would expect, but it's directional. There's also a lot of chiaroscuro, with an interplay of shadow and light.
"We were also influenced by the lighting of the original show," Morgenthau continues. "It has something minimalist about it that doesn't distract from the characters. So, I stayed true to the logical directions of naturalism.
"A lot of times, that meant single-source lighting, such as coming in through a window with a giant soft source – a real Vermeer influence – or utilising practical lights in the set.
"When we'd take a scene with two characters and key light from the side, I wouldn't flip anything between shots for the sake of glamour. I left the light static in relation to the characters, as it would be in the real world."
Ironically, the crew's conviction to create a convincing period piece required the use of thoroughly modern tools. Morgenthau lists control, colour, intensity and speed as the main draws of LED.
"We used a lot of Arri SkyPanels, as well as Fresnel-style L5-C, L7-C and L10-C lamps when we needed something more directional. Those were often diffused through very dense magic cloth. With the LUTs, we were able to give the LEDs a tungsten quality.
"Were we missing out on something by not using real tungsten?" Morgenthau asks himself. "Maybe. There's something very intense about a real heat source, something very primitive, but sometimes you've got to go with control."
The Many Saints of Newark's riot sequences are distinct enough to have been made into a film in and of themselves. They're unique to view and, as Morgenthau explains, were just as unique to create.

Wednesday | December 18th, 2019
Susan Dreyfus
This past September, five of the nation's top foundation leaders announced a change in the way they intend to fund their grantees. The announcement came from the CEOs of the Ford Foundation, Hewlett Foundation, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Open Society Foundation, and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Those foundations are among the nation's largest philanthropic organizations.
In an effort to address the chronic underfunding of grantees, including community-based human services organizations (CBOs), they announced a change to grant-making rules that will enable funding for CBOs' full and essential operating expenses. These expenses include rent, wages, technology investments and other costs that are essential to the ability of CBOs to meet their mission and achieve their goals.
As Julie Stasch, former CEO of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation noted in her announcement: "The more that foundations pay constructive attention to this issue, the stronger the social sector as a whole will be."
This move comes as good news to the human services sector as it directly responds to one of the major findings and recommendations in the groundbreaking report, A National Imperative: Joining Forces to Strengthen Human Services in America. The report, commissioned by The Alliance for Strong Families and Communities and American Public Human Services Association, with lead funding from The Kresge Foundation and The Ballmer Group, highlighted the financial challenges faced by human services CBOs.
Human services CBOs have labored under mounting financial stresses that impede their ability to achieve meaningful outcomes and ensure all people can flourish for far too long. The report, which analyzed more than 200,000 publicly available Form 990 tax filings from roughly 40,000 human services CBOs, found that half of all CBOs reported persistent operating deficits and one in three had less than one month of operating expenses on hand. The cause and solutions are many and CBOs and their philanthropic and public sector funders share responsibility for change.
Among the report's additional findings and recommendations:
* There is a lack of understanding about the importance and impact of human services CBOs and a mistaken perception of these organizations as charities that are ineffective, poorly managed, and simply provide "handouts."
* Operational shortcomings exist across the full human services ecosystem, including a lack of integration, limited data sharing, low collaboration, and difficulty in measuring return on investment (ROI) and outcomes.
* CBOs experience financial stress and a lack of cash liquidity and the ability to make necessary investments for higher performance, partly due to the fact that government and philanthropic funding often fail to cover the full cost of providing services or restrict how that funding can be best used.
* There is a lack of capital for investment in technology and talent, which limit opportunities for innovation, research, data sharing, and integration of systems.
* Increased responsibility is needed among CBOs for their financial health and the importance of more mergers, affiliations, and generative partnerships to leverage their shared purchasing power.
Despite these findings, the report struck an optimistic tone, laying out five "north star" recommendations that include specific ways we can come together, share responsibility and ensure our communities are equipped to help all people succeed and live full, productive and happy lives.
Imagine the impact in our communities if CBOs were fully supported. Children, youth and their families will have better access to early education opportunities and the building blocks they need to succeed in school and in life. Older adults and people with disabilities will be able to maintain a higher quality of life and independence. Workforce supports will ensure that all people are gainfully employed with the opportunity for social and economic mobility. Quality affordable housing will be available in neighborhoods that are safe and thriving. All individuals will experience improved health outcomes and as a result, we will see the overall cost of the deep end of our health care and human services system decline at a population level so we can invest more in prevention and earlier interventions that work. People will have access to the mental health services and supports they need. Substance abuse services and supports will play a significant role in mitigating the impact of our nation's addiction epidemic.
These are just a few of the ways in which human services CBOs address the social determinants of health which enable all people to lead healthier and more productive lives, thus benefiting broader society directly. Thanks to the five CEOs who recognized the importance of investing in human services CBOs, these organizations' leaders will be freed to take a page from corporate America's playbook. They will be enabled to focus on outcomes and return on investment, to develop their capacity to innovate, to identify more modern and technology-infused ways to meet the goals of their communities, and to seek generative partnerships that can leverage assets and achieve better outcomes. These five CEOs have paved the way for other philanthropic and government sectors to rethink the ways in which they invest in CBOs to ensure they can continue to help all Americans achieve their fullest potential. We applaud them for their vision and encourage others in the grant making sector to follow their lead and provide the resources CBOs need to make a lasting and vital impact in the lives of all Americans.
Susan N. Dreyfus is president and CEO of the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities, a strategic action network of social sector organizations that has a national reach in thousands of communities across America.

Q: How can I launch CMake correctly For school I have to download CMake.
Now I've found on the mash-project a quick start guide but I don't get it.

*

*Does somebody know where I can choose Xcode as the generator?

*What is the meaning of the values CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES...

*I can't find CMake in the Applications folder, why?

*And exactly for what do I need CMake?

Thank you thousand time for your help!

A: *

*Get the graphical interface of CMake and you'll be presented with the option of choosing among several build environments. One of those should be Xcode. Read my answer to point 3 for how to get the GUI.

*The first variable, CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, contains a value that represents the "flavor" of the build. In Visual Studio parlance, think Debug and Release. The way this works is quite simple: CMake defines a set of variables for each build type that control several aspects of the build process. For example, variable CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG contains a sequence of flags to be passed to the C++ compiler when the value of CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is Debug. Analogously, CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE does the trick for Release. CMake comes with four default build types: Debug, Release, MinSizeRel, and RelWithDebInfo. You can take a look here for the official documentation.
I've never messed with CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES, but maybe this helps.

*Like many other programs, CMake comes with a "terminal interface", i.e. can be interacted with using the terminal. I don't know the specifics regarding your CMake installation, but perhaps you didn't get any graphical interface, in which case don't expect to find anything within the Applications folder. This answer may help. Short answer: run
sudo port install cmake +gui

That being said, you can use the terminal interface by appending the directory in which CMake resides to yout PATH environment variable.

*CMake is a pretty nifty software. In the C++ world, there are a gazillion compilers and environments, each with its own configuration settings. Suppose you wrote a cool piece of software that you want to share with the world. Now well, being an open source kind of guy, you decide to distribute the source code under a liberal license, so that we may build it by ourselves. At this point, what will you exactly distribute?
A bunch of source files? Not helpful for building a medium-sized project. I don't know the structure of your project, or any preprocessor macro you may be relying upon.
If your development environment was, say, Visual Studio, you could distribute the .sln file, and every Visual Studio user would be able to load the project with the exact same settings you assume will be present when building. Which brings the question: what about us who don't use Visual Studio? Are you going to loose a bunch of potential users simply because they choose Linux or Mac OS X?
Enter CMake. This program allows you to define the structure of your project (i.e. which libraries are going to be built, which executables, which tests), list any dependency you may have (e.g. Boost, Qt, Ogre3D), set any preprocessor macro (ugh!) you may need. You do this in a language defined by CMake, which it understands, on any platform. When processing this configuration, CMake will generate a build environment for the specific platform it's running on. You see, CMake doesn't build your project. It isn't a compiler. CMake only tells your compiler how to build your project. It does this for any platform.
This is what the authors say about it:

CMake is an extensible, open-source system that manages the build process in an operating system and in a compiler-independent manner. Unlike many cross-platform systems, CMake is designed to be used in conjunction with the native build environment. Simple configuration files placed in each source directory (called CMakeLists.txt files) are used to generate standard build files (e.g., makefiles on Unix and projects/workspaces in Windows MSVC) which are used in the usual way. CMake can generate a native build environment that will compile source code, create libraries, generate wrappers and build executables in arbitrary combinations. CMake supports in-place and out-of-place builds, and can therefore support multiple builds from a single source tree. CMake also supports static and dynamic library builds. Another nice feature of CMake is that it generates a cache file that is designed to be used with a graphical editor. For example, when CMake runs, it locates files, libraries, and executables, and may encounter optional build directives. This information is gathered into the cache, which may be changed by the user prior to the generation of the native build files.

Moreover, 2019 CWC Live Streaming Online can be seen on the official broadcasters provided websites and mobile apps depending on your geographical location.
Match 9: NZ vs. BAN ICC CWC 2019 Pre Match Analysis
Both of the teams haven't secured the single title of the ICC CWC.
Bangladesh has done really well in recent years. They have introduced their own League, which helped them in numerous ways as cricket promoted in Bangladesh. Due to which they have acquired some promising young players to serve the Country in the future. If we recall the Champions trophy 2017, where Bangladesh encountered with New Zealand and then defeated them (New Zealand) in the Group Match, which shows their credibility even on English Conditions.
Recently they toured New Zealand for ODI, test and T20 series which brought nothing but an abundance of defeats. The result of every series went into New Zealand's favor. This has definitely crushed their Confidence which can be a serious threat to their World cup planning. However, recently they have defeated the Windies cricket team which is a clear indication of their Potential.
Players like Tamim, Mushfiq and Shakib have the ability to win the match single-handedly for their team, which magnifies their presence in the team. These 4 key players have proved themselves as the true asset of Bangladesh Cricket. Their Presence in the Field has rewarded the Team on many occasions. Although they have a strong Batting unit, their Bowling may suffer against the top teams in the coming world cup.
However, their spin department has added some power in their Bowling unit which can be their key strength to take on the opponents, there batting and blowing unit can give the tough time to the English squad. But we can't underestimate the English batting order they Eoin Morgan, Alex Hales, Joe Root, and Jos Buttler as their score tanks that can really smash the ball out of the ground can hold the match in their hands.
Although New Zealand did not win any of the ICC cricket World cups until now, however, they have progressed into the Final multiple times in the history of world cups. They have played the Final of the ICC cricket World cup 2015 as well. New Zealand faced Australians in the Final, despite their victories throughout the world cup, they could not make it to the Final. Finally, Australia crumbled them in the Final with a massive margin of 7 wickets. Currently, the New Zealand cricket team is not really up to the Mark they once were. However, they have acquired some players like Williamson, Guptill and Trent Bolt who helped New Zealand cricket Team to touch the New heights of limited over cricket.
Recently, New Zealand hosted a couple of ODI series against several top-class teams. Although they were defeated by India on Home Grounds. However, they have defeated Pakistan, Sri Lanka and then Bangladesh which is a clear indication of their consistency in the game. In the captaincy of Williamson, New Zealand Cricket Team has revamped the way they adopt in the field which might help them to progress in the ODI ranking.
The players Like ROSS TAYLOR, MARTIN GUPTILL, WILLIAMSON, and TRENT BOULT will be their frontline players to smash the opponents in the coming world cup as recently they have shown how they took the match away single-handedly. in the recent series, all these players have shown what they are popular for.
In addition to that, they have strengthened the batting Line up as it was collapsed after the retirement of McCollum then comes to the aggressive and fiery batsman Colin Munro, who has the potential to keep the momentum up from the early overs. He will be joining Guptill to start the Inning. This incredible opening pair can be a nightmare for the opponents. The only thing they need to conscious about is their spin department. Though they have versatile spinners but the quality of bowling, a spin department demands to tackle the opponents is missing here in the team.

The Zhai Clinic: For Successful Pregnancies
Welcome to The Zhai Clinic. We are specialists in reproductive health and conception, helping
women and men fulfil their dreams of parenthood.
"Britain's 225 best private doctors"
"Dr Zhai's success rate is phenomenal"
"The Older Women's Fertility Guru"
"The New Fairy Godmother of Fertility"
"Dr Xiao-Ping Zhai is incredibly compassionate and understanding, and her results are very good"
Mr Michael Dooley MRCOG – Consultant Gynaecologist
"There are many practitioners of TCM in Harley Street, but what makes Dr Zhai unique is that she is able to focus on the individual needs of her patients and advise them on the best of what conventional western medicine and TCM can offer"
Mr Stuart Lavery MRCOG, Consultant Gynaecologist and Director IVF Hammersmith
Our approach to fertility is pioneering
We use a groundbreaking fusion of Western knowledge and Traditional Chinese Medicine that is unique in the UK—and possibly globally.
Our treatments strengthen the whole body, not just the reproductive organs, to give patients the best chance possible of conceiving and giving birth to a healthy baby.
Our patients achieve outstanding results, year after year
82% of patients who completed The Zhai Programme in 2017 went on to have successful pregnancies:
57% conceived within 6 months
99% conceived within 13 months,
This compares to a successful pregnancy rate of 78% over the course of the Clinic's history.
We work with a wide range of aspiring parents. The average age of our patients is 40. The youngest patient we successfully treated was 27; the eldest was 50.
We have a proven track record of treating patients across the spectrum of fertility issues. Repeated miscarriages, endometriosis, polycystic ovaries, tubal factors, low ovarian reserve, and low sperm count are just some of the issues we help patients overcome.
We help patients conceive naturally and support patients who combine The Zhai Programme with all assisted fertility treatments, including IUI, IVF, ICSI, or donor egg treatment.
The Zhai Clinic was founded in 1993. Today, we are one of the UK's leading fertility clinics and the principal authority on fertility in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Here is what sets us apart:
We fuse Western knowledge with Traditional Chinese Medicine
We create a personalised treatment programme for every patient that combines Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture with the latest Western medical knowledge.
We use a holistic approach to pregnancy
We believe that in order to conceive, your reproductive system needs to be in optimum condition and working in harmony with the rest of your body. We look at all aspects of your health and well-being from both a Chinese and Western medical perspective, taking into account a broad range of contributing factors, including diet, exercise, and stress management.
We empower our patients
Many of our patients come to us after multiple unsuccessful rounds of assisted fertility treatment at clinics that did not investigate why they weren't conceiving. We partner with our patients to help them understand potential causes or blocks to conception, take control of their body, and guide them to be in the best physical and mental position for a successful pregnancy.
We always put the health and well-being of our patients first
We operate with the highest of standards of patient care, codified by our Patients' Charter and offer a welcoming, safe, and supportive space for our patients.

1.How to choose suitable inverter?
Modified wave can be started with some inductive loads, but effect for load using life,because capacitive loads and inductive loads need high quality power.
2.How do I choose the size of the inverter?
Different types of load demand for power are different. You can view the load power values to determine the size of the power inverter.
3.How connection between batteries and an power inverter?
We usually believe that cables connecting battery terminal to inverter shorter is better. If you are just standard cable should be less than 0.5M, but should correspond to the polarity of the batteries and inverter-side outside. If you want to lengthen the distance between battery and inverter, please contact us and we will calculate the recommended cable size and length. Due to long distances using a cable connection, there will be a reduced voltage, which means that the inverter voltage would be far below the battery terminal voltage, this inverter will appear under voltage alarm conditions.
4.How to calculate the load of working hours requires configuration of the battery size?

Ashland boys doubles team knocks off North's No. 2 seed
All of the top seeds in singles play advance at the SOC boys district championships
ASHLAND - Tyler Coke and Jacob Doty were the only monkey wrenches on the first day of the Southern Oregon Conference boys tennis district tournament.
The unseeded Ashland High doubles duo upset second-seeded Andrew Theen and David Mostue of North Medford in the second round to earn the only unexpected semifinals - and state - berth at Hunter Park.
The four singles players and four doubles teams that survived Thursday's action secured spots in next weekend's Class 4A state tournament.
"They had played (Theen and Mostue) earlier in the year and had lost in three sets in a three-hour affair," Grizzlies head coach Dick Streng said of Coke and Doty. "It was a long three-set match again, and this time we were luckier."
In singles play, North's Tyler Wilson, Klamath Union's Reid Arthur, Ashland's Ari Zaslow and North's John Falath made sure things went according to form by advancing to Saturday's second and final day of action.
Wilson, the top seed, will meet third-seeded Zaslow in one semifinal, while No. 2-seed Arthur and fourth-seeded Falath tangle in the other.
"I don't think any of them lost more than three games," Streng said of the quartet's showing on Thursday.
Arthur, the defending SOC champion, was questionable heading into the tournament with a back injury.
But Streng didn't notice any problems in Arthur's performance Thursday.
"It didn't look like his back was hurting him," Streng said. "He was hitting the ball pretty strong."
Coke and Doty join fellow Ashland doubles team Kevin Spears and Evan Schleining, the tournament's top seed, in the semifinals. Third-seeded Stewart Westmore and Jared Schricker of Roseburg and fourth-seeded Dru Philips and Clint Russell of North are the other duos remaining.
Spears-Schleining meets Philips-Russell, while Coke-Doty plays Westmore-Schricker on Saturday, when action begins at 10 a.m. at Hunter Park.

Why Is a Couple That Chooses to Be Abstinent Surprising?
July 8th, 2015 Visited 1036 times, 1 so far today
In the last month saw the creation of a "marriage" between two people of the same sex, a Olympic medalist announce to the world that he is now a she, and revelations that Bristol Palin is expecting again and that contestants on the Bachelorette show have intimate relations not just before marriage, but also before they are "supposed to" in terms of what's planned on the show.
So you know what's really bothering people now? That a celebrity couple would dare stay abstinent until marriage:
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is getting candid about his relationship with Ciara.
In a sit-down with Pastor Miles McPherson of The Rock Church in San Diego, Wilson opened up about his life, his beliefs, and taking sex with his girlfriend off the table.
"I met this girl named Ciara, who is the most beautiful woman in the world," he gushed. "She's the most kind person, the most engaging person."
The couple began dating in April and shortly after, Wilson said he received a message from God regarding his new love.
"She was on tour, she was traveling, and I was looking at her in the mirror," he said. "God spoke to me and said, 'I need you to lead her' and I was like 'Really? Right now?' He goes, 'No, I want you and need you to lead her.'"
Wilson said he asked Ciara, "What would you do if we took all that extra stuff off the table and just did it Jesus' way?" (And yes, the 26-year-old clarified that he was definitely "talking about sex.") – Ciara and Russell Wilson practicing abstinence @ FoxNews
So we really have gotten to the point where people are startled at the idea that people can be abstinent and lauding the fact that people can be what past generations would call immoral.

4U – A Symphonic Celebration of Prince at Altria Theater with the Richmond Symphony
Sunday, Sept. 9
Two years ago, the world mourned after the untimely death of the artist forever known as Prince – a mesmerizing performer who mastered funk, rock, pop and soul within his own deeply personal music. This is the first and only estate-approved Prince celebration, curated and arranged by Roots drummer Questlove, with arrangements to be performed by the Richmond Symphony.
"With Prince's music it translated really well. The challenge was that there are so many songs. We've tried to hit the greatest hits while also digging into the catalogue," says Stephen Cook, co-creator and co-producer of the show and president of TCG Entertainment, a leader in producing crossover symphonic shows. "We'll have a high level band, rhythm section, stems. But it's not a vocal heavy show. What Questlove has done really uses the whole breadth of the orchestra. It's a masterpiece."
Cook says he won't be surprised if members of the audience sing along.
"Prince was all about the music, all the time. So what we're trying to do is pay homage to that," he says. "We'll have video elements, spoken word and photos provided by his estate. I think it's going to be a really moving kind of thing. It's a tribute but also a celebration." 7 p.m. $42 - $72.

Part of his 50 Intimate Nights Live tour, Maxwell brings the boot-knockin', neo-soul train to Richmond, where he should probably give a shout-out to our own D'Angelo. 8 p.m. $49.50 to $99.50.
Steely Dan at Altria Theater
Monday, Oct. 1
Guitarist and co-founder Walter Becker is gone, but the urbane sound of Steely Dan remains largely intact thanks to the slyly soulful vocals and witty lyrics of Donald Fagen. Expect a greatest hits machine played by session pros with a few choice solo cuts sprinkled into the mix. The band has been closing with a bittersweet instrumental cover of Joe Williams' "A Man Ain't Supposed to Cry" — possibly a tribute to Becker. 7:30 p.m. $49 to $149.50.

Cole Swindell, Dustin Lynch and guest Lauren Alaina at Richmond Coliseum
Saturday, Oct. 13
It's a new country show, sure, but the tour's name is "Reason to Drink ... Another Tour" — so you know it's honest, and maybe in need of an editor. Georgia native Swindell follows in the boot steps of George Straight and Randy Travis but has a much better showbiz name that even the Sex Pistols could love. 7:15 p.m. $33 to $57.
New Potato Caboose at Capital Ale House
A rare reunion show by the hippie-jam band from Washington and Northern Virginia that used to pack small Richmond bars such as the Library and New Horizons (with soon-to-be-filthy-rich bands such as Dave Matthews, Widespread Panic and Phish occasionally opening). 8 p.m. $20-$25.
Jonathan Richman, Sunday, Oct. 21 at the Camel
Jonathan Richman and Tommy Larkins at the Camel
Sunday, Oct. 21.
The great doe-eyed, proto-punk troubadour and his stoic drummer (you may recognize them from "There's Something About Mary") always bring the passion, humor and a wonderful catalog of songs in several languages. Restore your faith in the healing power of music with new songs like "People Are Disgusting" and a nod to my personal favorite little bar of all time, "Outside O' Duffy's" in Chico, California. 9 p.m. $20.
Oh Sees and Escape-ism at the Broadberry
Sunday, Oct. 21
Lead singer John Dwyer for the Oh Sees reminds me of Crispin Glover a little, but when he rocks out, not even Glover's interpretative spaz dance from "Friday the 13th: the Final Chapter" can compare. The Oakland band's latest, "Smote Reverser," again shows Dwyer is not content to be pigeonholed to any one style of music: This one is more like a prog-metal freak out. Opening the show will be Escape-ism, the curious electro-rock act of Washington's always-provocative Ian Svenonius and crew, touring behind "The Lost Record" on Merge. It's not really lost so much as unloved. 8 p.m. $15-$18.
The Breeders at the National
Tuesday, Oct. 23
Critically acclaimed indie rockers led by the sisters Deal (Kim and Kelley) known for their crowd-friendly shows and big MTV sing-a-long hit, "Cannonball." 7:30 p.m. $25.50 to $30.50.
The Breeders, Oct. 23, at the National.
Brian Wilson presents "Pet Sounds" at Dominion Energy Center's Carpenter Theatre
Friday, Nov. 2
Here's likely your last chance to see one of pop music's undisputed masterpieces performed live. This is a show that was rescheduled after Wilson had to get back surgery in May. Show features guests Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin. 8 p.m. $67 - $107.
Gwar, Municipal Waste, High On Fire, Miss May I and Holocaust at the National
Easily the sickest metal summit of the fall — the Gore, the Core, the Metal and More tour — this pulverizing bill is headlined by two of Richmond's most beloved metal masters, the indomitable bloody beasts of Gwar and the "River's Edge"-thrash party genius of Municipal Waste with ultimate hesher guitarist Matt Pike's blazing Oakland trio, High on Fire, riff-laden warriors who appeal to old-school fans of Motorhead and Black Sabbath. Pike returns a month later with stoner legends Sleep. 6:30 p.m. $22-$25.
Kamasi Washington and Butcher Brown at the National
One of the most popular figures in jazz, tenor saxophonist and composer Kamasi Washington has crossed over by performing with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Ryan Adams and Run the Jewels, while drawing comparisons to Sonny Rollins and, on a spiritual-aesthetic level, John Coltrane. He's that rare jazz artist whose uplifting music appeals to large crowds. Last year's show was one of the highlights of the year at the National, according to those who went. This one should be even sweeter with local funk-jazz outfit Butcher Brown warming up the stage. 7:30 p.m. $39.50-$43.50.

Less than 80 miles off the African coast, Lanzarote is one of the most popular Canary Islands. This volcanic island has plenty to offer for people of all ages, and is an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy a family holiday in a stunning destination.
The Parque Tropical is open every day of the year including bank holidays from 10:00 to 17:00 hours. Admission is 14 Euros per adult and 5 Euros per child and I'd recommend allowing a half day to go around the Park, although some visitors have been know to spend the whole day there.
Lanzarote offers a wide variety of beaches including white and black sand, placid and ruffled waters and these are, as you would expect distributed along the entire coast of the island.

2015-11-24 06:17 UTC by Malte E.
There is an ongoing debate about OTR encryption in telepathy. The developers have argued that OTR was flawed (which is true), the proponents of OTR have argued that it's the best we have, the de facto standard and pretty much the best we can get from a security standpoint, which is also true, IMHO.
To fix this problem temporarily, developers of telepathy front ends have implemented OTR in their products, a solution that works, but kind of defeats the point of having a unified messaging framework across platforms.
But there seems hope: the android XMPP client conversations now has OMEMO, derived from Signal's axolotl and supposed to have all of OTR's disadvantages while solving all its problems.
I am no cryptography expert, but I do want all my chats encrypted. OMEMO seems to do that without the hassle that OTR has (allowing multiple clients and delivery of messages stored on the server without the client receiving gibberish).
So I would very much like to see OMEMO implemented in telepathy to help it become the new standard and make privacy a little less cumbersome. To me, just like to many others, privacy isn't optional. If you refused to implement encryption because OTR was flawed in your opinion, then you have no reason not to implement it now!
Malte: This is a PEP for XMPP. Wouldn't this enhancement be for the gabble component then?
Paul Bryan: I don't understand the technical details. Is there any reason OMEMO would not work with other protocols? Maybe somebody more experienced could answer that question and possibly change the component of this bug accordingly. Since OTR has some serious problems when it comes to usability, it may be desirable to use OMEMO on other protocols as well. Although I see no reason why somebody using a third party client would not have an XMPP account as well.
> OMEMO would not work with other protocols?
OMEMO relies on XMPP PEP for publishing key information, so it will require changes to run over other protocols.
It is definitely alright, to make this part of Telepathy's XMPP component.
Maybe telepathy-gabble could benefit from Google Summer of Code or similar in this case?
If I understand the Proto-XEP (https://conversations.im/xeps/multi-end.html) correctly, OMEMO needs XEP-0280 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78093) and XEP-0313 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90838) to fully function. So these should be tackled first.
When I had previously skimmed the OMEMO spec I saw it referring to Message Carbons (XEP-00280) and Message Archive Management (XEP-0313) which we don't have yet. (I think there are patches in bugzilla that need review and merging).
But it looks like all we actually need for OMEME to at least partially work Personal Eventing Protocol (XEP-0163)? The other protocols are just for a better usability?
Yes, I first had the same impression, but it really seems that Message Carbons and MAM just add another comfort level and the only real hard dependency is PEP.
I believe you are both correct - OMEMO was designed to be a crypto system that was friendly towards MAM and carbons since OTR cannot work with either of them. With OTR, any encrypted communications have to happen live and can only happen from one device to one device. This is pretty limiting if you like the convenience of having message history shared among devices. OMEMO works by encrypting messages for multiple devices and does not require them to be actively online.
However, OMEMO doesn't use either of those extensions to work so it does not require them. Supporting OMEMO would still be beneficial even if telepathy-gabble doesn't support those extensions, because MAM and carbons can happen server-side without client involvement, allowing other clients the user has (like Conversations) to still benefit.

Infiniti Essence to get go-ahead | What Car?
Infiniti is expected to reveal plans to build a 150,000 four-seater supercar based on the Essence concept car unveiled at the Geneva motor show in 2009.
The recession saw the project mothballed, but now, an insider tells Whatcar.com, a positive decision for the future of the car is likely to be taken in the next few months.
The Essence concept will be toned down for production, although judging by the striking looks of other Infiniti cars it won't be too conservative.
The 600bhp petrol-electric hybrid powertrain of the concept car is unlikely to feature, from launch at least. Instead, the coupe will probably use the 478bhp 3.8-litre V6 found in the GT-R from parent company Nissan.
It won't be a slouch, then, although the Essence will almost certainly be a more refined, luxurious alternative to the GT-R, in line with Infiniti's core brand identities.
