NMSU researchers are helping develop early warning systems for viruses
By Lolly Garcia On Dec 25, 2021
LAS CRUCES – As new variants of COVID-19 keep researchers around the world looking for new ways to meet current challenges, a group of scientists from New Mexico State University is exploring how to use big data to create a Early warning system for emerging viruses.
Katie Young is a postdoctoral researcher in biology in the laboratory of NMSU Regents Professor Kathryn Hanley. Young and undergraduate researchers were part of a USDA Grand Challenge project that looked at the transmission of vesicular stomatitis, a virus that primarily infects horses and cattle and can result in up to 30 days of livestock quarantine, which ranchers time and costs money.
Young is the lead author of an article published in October in the Pathogens Journal of the Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI). Researchers believe this will be the first time in the western United States that vesicular stomatitis has been detected in insects that were not collected in an area where pets were infected.
"This project we're working on is part of a much larger collaborative venture," said Young. "It includes scientists from a wide variety of fields, especially several scientists who work at the USDA. The goal of the USDA Grand Challenge is to address difficult scientific problems. "
From March to December 2020, Young, with the help of PhD student Lanie Whelpley and recent graduate Bailey Payne, collected samples and collected data for the vesicular stomatitis virus in simulium mosquitos.
"We don't see much animal mortality, but when you look at it in terms of its biology, the vesicular stomatitis virus is incredibly complex that it can infect many hosts," said Young. "Even though it has been around for over a hundred years and scientists are researching it, we still have gaps in our knowledge of how it is transmitted."

An outbreak of the vesicular stomatitis virus occurred in 2020. It typically spreads across New Mexico and other states along Rocky Mountain to the west, and runs every five to eight years and lasts for one to two years. The researchers wanted to include a large-scale study across New Mexico, but the COVID-19 pandemic changed their plans. They had to stay closer to home to collect black fly samples along the Rio Grande in Sierra and Dona Ana counties.
"We are very lucky. We've been on the river sample vectors before and the very first case of vesicular stomatitis virus in the United States in 2020 was accidentally identified in Dona Ana County, "Young said. "We decided to attack black flies as a vector because their dynamics shift seasonally along the Rio Grande and most previous cases of VSV in NM have occurred along the river."
After collecting more than forty thousand black flies, the team discovered that the flies appeared shortly after the Rio Grande water was released from an upstream dam in March 2020. Young and her team collected data on environmental factors such as temperature, rainfall in the region, and the river from Caballo all the way down to El Paso.
Ultimately, they found links between the number of black flies in an area and seasonal environmental conditions. They also discovered the VSV in two new species of black flies.
Whelpley, who plans to train as a medical doctor with a focus on virology and epidemiology, will continue this research for her master's thesis on environmental factors that can predict VSV outbreaks.
"I will be looking for environmental factors that can affect the spread and transmission of VSV," Whelpley said. "We also want to investigate ecological differences one year after a VSV outbreak. Since we had an outbreak last year, let's see what this year will be different. I will work on that in the next few years. "

Payne, who received her bachelor's degree from NMSU in May, worked on the sample collection and molecular identification of black flies for the project. She plans to work in the Hanley lab for a year before doing her Masters. "I have this great opportunity with Dr. Hanley and I take a year to get all the hands-on experience I can. I think it really solidified what I wanted to do with my future and how much I love working with arboviruses and working in a laboratory. If I take this opportunity with Dr. Hanley and that job if I wasn't where I am, so it made a pretty big impact. "
The Hanley Laboratory will continue this line of VSV research. Further papers based on the data gathered in this study are expected to be published, with the next one to appear in 2022.

Seven different auction catalogs document the series of sales being held from June 22 through June 25 by Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries of New York.
The sales are all taking place at the Siegel Auction Galleries in midtown Manhattan.
The offerings range from classic United States stamps and postal history to telegraph stamps, carriers and locals, and a selection of worldwide rarities that includes a seldom-seen U.S. stamp with a catalog value of $1 million.
That stamp turns up in the final sale of the series, the 2015 Rarities of the World auction, and with the appearance of an 1868 3¢ rose Washington B grill (Scott 82), the auction more than lives up to its name.
The stamp is one of just four examples, all used, that are known to exist. All four started their journey together affixed to an 1869 envelope mailed from Mason, Texas, to Darmstadt, Germany.
The auction catalog pictures the cover, and the stamp is accompanied by a photo of the 1969 Philatelic Foundation certificate for the cover, and a 2015 Foundation certificate authenticating the single stamp. It is listed in the Siegel auction catalog with the 2015 Scott Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps and Covers value of $1 million.
Collectors unlucky with their bids in an earlier sale, therefore, might find a second-chance opportunity with this offering.
The selection includes significant rarities such as the 1¢ and 4¢ inverts of the 1901 Pan-American issue (Scott 294a is the 1¢, and 296aS is the 4¢ with "Specimen" overprint).
That 4¢ stamp includes attached selvage showing plate No. 1145 and part of the plate letter imprint in black at bottom. The stamp is "completely sound" and described as one of four recorded plate-number and plate-letter singles of the 4¢ invert, and the only one with the "Specimen" overprint.
The stamp is ex-Col. Green and ex-Cunliffe, includes a 1996 Philatelic Foundation certificate and a 2009 Professional Stamp Experts certificate, and is offered with an estimate of $11,500.
A number of U.S. revenue stamps are included in this first auction, with the standout being a gorgeous example of the $500 red-orange, green and black second issue, an uncommon stamp commonly known as the Large Persian Rug.
Tuesday morning brings United States carriers and locals featuring the Gordon Stimmell collection. The collection consists mostly of covers, but the front cover of the catalog displays an attractive reconstructed block of six of the 5¢ black on greenish yellow Pomeroy's Letter Express stamp (Scott 117L1), identified as the largest recorded multiple, and offered with an estimate of $4,000 to $6,000.
The collection includes covers and stamps, with a number of nice stamp multiples included.
The sale itself is a rare opportunity for telegraph stamp collectors, but even more so on account of the two unique 1876 stamps of Colusa, Lake and Mendocino Telegraph Co. being offered: the 10¢ black (Scott 7T2) and the 25¢ red (7T3). Each is listed with the 2015 Scott Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps and Covers assigned value of $9,250.
To complete the collection of the C.L. & M. stamps, the Siegel sale is also offering a selection of the 5¢ black (Scott 7T1), which catalogs for $1,300 per stamp.
The Larry Lyons collection of mail in the early West carried by private companies will be auctioned Wednesday morning. Among the many covers included are some wonderful examples of mail carried by the Wells, Fargo and Co. Pony Express.
A 10¢ green on buff star-die envelope (Scott U33) further franked with the $2 red Pony Express stamp (143L1) was mailed in 1861 with the running pony handstamp on the $2 red. Siegel cites FKW census records that record 37 $2 red covers, and estimates this example at $15,000 to $20,000.
The auction catalog for the Benjamin Franklin Bailar collection is a delight to look through. Bailar, a former U.S. postmaster general, collected material related to his namesake, Benjamin Franklin, the nation's first postmaster general.
There are lovely treats such as the combination 5¢ and 10¢ 1847 cover paying triple the 5¢ under 300 miles rate. That 1848 cover, by the way, is addressed to Millard Fillmore.
There are also handsome advertising covers and other postal history, Benjamin Franklin free franks, a free-franked folded letter from George Washington to Franklin, plus stamps and proofs, and two postmaster's commissions signed by Franklin.
The Thursday afternoon auction brings in a selection of Civil War and Confederate States material, beginning with an envelope handsigned by Robert E. Lee as general on Christmas Day 1863. It is offered along with the original enclosure, a personal letter written and signed by Lee.
The broad selection in this sale includes Union patriotics, postmasters' provisionals, general issues and more.
The auction series ends with the Rarities of the World sale mentioned previously. The world in this case covers mostly United States with some amazing classics, as well as choice foreign material.
Full information about these sales is posted on the Siegel website, or contact Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries, 60 E. 56th St., 4th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

How to reduce the racial gap in COVID-19 deaths
Rashawn Ray Friday, April 10, 2020
Crises like the COVID-19 pandemic highlight inequities that are enacted on the bodies of Black Americans. In states across the country from Michigan to Maryland, Blacks have higher rates of COVID-19 diagnoses and deaths. Blacks represent over 70% of COVID-19 deaths in cities like Chicago, counties like Milwaukee County, and states like Louisiana. In St. Louis, 100% of the COVID-19 deaths were Black Missourians.
Recently, I wrote about how structural conditions are the main reasons for the racial gap in coronavirus deaths. I argued that under-funded and underserved neighborhoods, a higher representation among the "essential," low wage workforce, and pollutants manufacture racial health disparities and expose Blacks to increased diagnosis and death from COVID-19. Blacks also have a series of deleterious interactions with institutional trustees such as healthcare providers and police officers that exacerbate life stressors. Senator Elizabeth Warren stated, "Decades of structural racism have prevented so many Black and Brown families from accessing quality health care, affordable housing, and financial security, and the coronavirus crisis is blowing these disparities wide open."
To date, the U.S has employed "a colorblind policy" to COVID-19, as stated by Stephen Thomas, Director of the Center for Health Equity at the University of Maryland. However, a colorblind approach cannot bring about equity when both the healthcare system and the structural conditions that inform it are so unequal. Focusing on the most oppressed and vulnerable among us creates a pathway toward health equity that will help everyone beat this pandemic.
I propose a series of policy recommendations to reduce the likelihood of exposure, contraction, and death from COVID-19 for Black Americans. These recommendations also apply to low-income workers and people living in rural areas with limited healthcare access.
Immediate release of demographic data
Data on race, place, gender, and age should be readily available for social scientists, epidemiologists, and other public health researchers to formulate better preparedness plans for the upcoming waves of COVID-19. Data help not only to direct resources, but they also help to learn from places that seem not to have apparent disparities. In Ohio, Blacks are less likely than their percentage of the state to die from COVID-19. Experts need to investigate why this outcome exists in Ohio. Places with positive outcomes hold the keys toward equity.
Testing and triage centers need to be placed in Black neighborhoods
People need to be tested and provided treatment quicker. This is not happening due to failures in the healthcare pipeline and the inequities that manifest in the location of healthcare facilities. When people are sick, stop sending them home alone to take an irregular public transit system and with no resources to purchase the medication they need. When this occurs, people are effectively being sent home to die alone. Senator Warren stated, "We need the government to step up in a big way to ensure that communities of color have equal access to free testing and treatment. Congresswoman Pressley and I aren't going to let up until we see solid data and real progress."
As more COVID-19 testing facilities are rolled out, it is important to be thoughtful about location. CVS Health's Atlanta location—Georgia Tech—seems to make sense, initially. However, the zip code where Georgia Tech is located has a Black population of only 14% compared to 54% for the rest of the city. In New York City, most of the testing centers and primary COVID-19 response hubs are not located in the areas with the highest number of cases, which happen to be in predominately Black neighborhoods.
Predominately Black churches may be ideal locations for testing, triage, and treatment. Black churches continue to be the glue that holds many Black communities together. During this crisis, they are proving essential for Black families by giving out food, laptops, and funds. Building on the proposed Health Empowerment Zone Act, Black churches can serve as "health action zones" to bridge federal, state, and local resources with community resources. Health action zones are popular in the United Kingdom and have some similar goals to former President Obama's promise zones and the state of Maryland's Heath Enterprise Zones.
Additionally, Black churches can help to overcome trust issues related to healthcare and continue to be beacons of hope in the midst of perceived hopelessness. My research with Abigail Sewell shows that Blacks are more likely to trust Black Protestant churches. Blacks relative to Whites are less likely to trust healthcare, and for good reasons. The United States has a long and torrid history of abusing Black bodies for medical and financial gain, such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. Research shows that knowledge of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study significantly decreases healthcare utilization among Black men. However, attendance at Black Protestant churches increases healthcare utilization among Blacks.
Essential workers need paid leave
Paid leave is critical for essential workers. Low-wage workers are not only contracting the virus at higher rates, but they are exposing others because they come to work sick and go home sick. Most cannot afford to miss a day at work. Implementing paid leave will help essential workers seek the medical care they deserve and reduce the potential spread of the virus.
Essential workers deserve hazard pay
Hazard pay is desperately needed for new "essential" frontline workers. The U.S. Department of Labor states: "Hazard pay means additional pay for performing hazardous duty or work involving physical hardship." The U.S. Department of Commerce notes, "Hazardous duty means duty performed under circumstances in which an accident could result in serious injury or death," such as being exposed to a deadly virus due to limited personal protective equipment and lack of training on using that equipment. Though it is nice for companies like Walmart to provide one-time $300 bonuses, this is not enough for a person risking their lives day after day, week after week.
The federal government and states need to provide a living wage
The newly minted "essential" workers need a living wage. The minimum wage varies by state based on cost of living differences. The problem, however, is that the minimum wage has not kept pace with inflation. In Tennessee, the minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. If a person works 40 hours per week, they make $1,160 per month before taxes. The average rent for an apartment in Nashville is about $1400. A majority of Americans are in favor of a $15 minimum wage, including nearly 90 percent of Blacks. This is because the Black community is most impacted by low wages. Higher wages reduce dependency on federal and state aid and increases local investments.
The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of equitable healthcare and the flaws with the current system. The U.S. spends 25% more per capita on healthcare than any other country and over 100% more than Canada. Over the past 20 years, U.S. healthcare spending has doubled. If people have more equitable healthcare coverage, the number of people with untreatable pre-existing conditions will decline and healthcare costs will drop. More healthcare equity also puts less strain on hospitals, emergency departments, and first responders who deal with people when their conditions have worsened rather than when they initially become ill.
In conclusion, the racial gaps in COVID-19 diagnoses and deaths are unacceptable. In upcoming stimulus packages, the federal government needs to ensure that its policies are addressing the persistent inequities in the healthcare system that lead to Black Americans being more likely to bury their loved ones.

We had an emergency this morning with our little Storm, she was struggling to breathe so we rushed her to the Clinic to see Dr. Weston Davis. Dr. Emma just happened to be here at the rescue when this happened (she was giving our new girl her booster shot). She is now resting comfortably at the Clinic and they will most likely keep her overnight for observation. We may have to go get her sometime tomorrow and will need our volunteers to help hold down the fort at the Festival. We will know later if we have to take her to Palm Beach for surgery. Xrays show a collapsed trachea and the surgery would be to open up the trachea but could prove fatal for her unborn baby. This is all in God's hands now. Please say an extra prayer today for our little girl.

Katie Maloney has come under unfair public scrutiny for her treatment of James Kennedy. The 'Vanderpump Rules' star is trying her best to remain positive against critics and bodyshamers but its harder than she expected.
Ever since Katie spoke up to Lisa Vanderpump calling out the DJ's horrible attitude towards his female co-workers (which ended up with him getting fired), viewers have turned the finger back at Katie.
Much of the criticism is attacking her weight rather than anything else.
Although the SURver has tried to practice more self-love, she still gets hate comments from followers and James Kennedy who recently referred to her as a 'fatty' despite his claims of changed behavior.
Things have gotten so bad that Tom Schwartz was forced to step in to comfort his wife. He's doing everything he can to make sure Maloney knows that she is beautiful inside and out.
Earlier this month, Schwartz told Hollywood Life that he was 'disgusted' about some of the things people say about his wife via social media.
Hopefully, Katie learns to permanently block out trolls and Tom continues to have her back.
Yes, Schwartz was forced to defend his wife. The wife forced him to defend her. The thing is she is not just nasty to James but Katie is a bully in general. When she was in the outs with Stassi she became buddies with Scheanna who got the two friends together again and Katie then decided to pick on Scheanna where she had left off with her feuds.

Hello and welcome to PharmaTelevision News Review here at BioBusiness in London. On this show I have Axel Polack, who is General Partner at TVM Capital Venture Capital Firm based in Munich. Welcome to the show.
Axel Polack:
Thanks for the invitation.
Axel Polack, you're obviously an venture capitalist who invests in biotechnology companies, just to start with just give me some sort of indication of what sort of company you'd like to invest in?
TVM Capital have several strategies but me personally I am interested in so called platform companies, companies which allow on the basis of one technology to create multiple product opportunities.
So clearly that's really at the very early stage, that's at the important interface between disruptive technologies potentially changing the way in which new medicines can be discovered, now potentially so there is huge opportunity, as an investor and taking into account the climate that the biotech industries has gone through in the last 18 months 24 months has it been much different in 2009 then say 2006 or 2005?
I mean the investment mood changes and swings back and forth between on the one hand products and place that develop things through to Phase IIB to sell it off and of course this kind of multi product place platform games that are eluded too earlier. And in the last year of course when the bottom [ph] fell outs of the financial crisis almost nothing of that type was created. There was no money around the table, all the venture capitalist held their money back and focused on their portfolio. So I think this is a bad time to talk about platform creation in 2000 late 2008 or early 2009 but I think we had a good run with this type of companies between '06, '05 through to '08 even with exits of this type of company in these years.
So therefore your current focus is on those companies that are already been established, that already have venture capital backing and to make sure that they ultimately go on to succeed?
Of course like everybody else we are focusing on the portfolio, we are focusing on the exit strategies and we try to make the place that we have started a success.
Relationships with big Pharma, Milestones, exit strategies and the lack of an IPO market
Right. Now what's important here presumably this ultimate success is going to get your money back, but there are milestones that need to take place within the company as a sign that this going in the direct direction clearly the type of company you described is of interest to you but also hopefully is of interest to pharmaceutical companies can see the value in the technology, has there been a shift in the way venture capitalist like TVM Capital they look at companies and the relationship that they have with big pharma companies because ultimately it's the big pharma companies interest in the technology is vitally important, have things changed in recent years particularly when the pressure has been on to look for performance?
Early on now since more than seven-years we at TVM Capital have focused on pharma as our customer. So view pharma and of course the medical system as our clearly as our customer. So of course IPO markets have been important in the past but it had turned out over the past couple of years that this was just another financing but in the end as our companies like Sirna and like Sirtris for instant got bought as a public company at a premium by pharma. So I think pharma is our customer and this is why we have to focus on the interaction with pharma. And the better the interaction the earlier we cut a deal with pharma, but of course without selling the crunch when its early the better it is for our exit benefit.
So the lack of an IPO market doesn't concern you?
The lack of an IPO market means that this intermediate step of financing might be missing and that's of course troubling us there is no doubt about it, because the exits like (indiscernable) in Germany could only happen on the basis of the investment done at the public markets.The private sector wasn't big enough, wasn't powerful enough in the financial sense to sustain these type of companies who had huge burn rates Phase III programs ongoing and then embarking on venture stream products, so this is
So IPO to you is not necessarily mean an exit, it means that the investments that you have go on to bigger things?
Ideally of course an IPO is an exit, but show me the IPO's in the past five-years when this took place.
Financing in the biotech sector.
Right. Obviously there have been a few IPO's and often that price went South rather than North unfortunately. So it is a complicating factor, but then let's go back to this the development of the companies that you've tried to invest or you have invested in. We talked a little bit of the collaboration that can take place and you've said you have established a collaboration with pharmaceutical industry, part of that collaboration obviously is the typical type of collaborations that take place from licensing and so forth or just basic collaborative R&D arrangements, but is it also important for these companies for the pharmaceutical companies to co-invest to come in on additional rounds of financing primarily not just simply because there is more money come in but it helps to establish price around the technology?
But one has to differentiate between two types of company, if we have a company which is formed on CD product then of course a collaboration with the pharmaceutical company is relatively difficult early on in the process, because as I just mentioned you are selling off the crunch [ph] you're probably too early, you get trapped in the deal and you don't get your full value out of the deal in the end. So in the end the good collaboration for us from our point of view as VC's and VC backed companies with pharma are in the case of the more broader companies where we can partner the one product and keep the other and then in the end can attract a full value out of the perceived lead molecule. So this is always difficult with all the option, the difficulty with the option deals now if you have optioned out everything what is left to in the end sell to another party so the only customer in the end is the one who took the option. And then you have to have a pre negotiated deal in place that still keeps you upside intact and I think that's the most difficult art now going forward and to a kind of (indiscernable).
So what you are describing obviously are the different potential difficulties with these sort of deals but in the end when you look at and you've been in this industry for sometime and acting as a venture capitalist for 10-years is your are you optimistic about the biotech sector you are particularly from within the European sector which where you are active or do you think that we've really now peaked and maybe there is a stage now of decline for biotech companies or have things changed completely?
Well I switched in the mid 90's to the commercial sector. And periodically the VC sector and biotech was declared dead as a (indiscernable) so having seen now I don't know three or four down turns in my personal career and it always recovered and always swung back, I don't think that this sector is completed dead but I think we are facing a major difficulty at the moment and that is the financing of the VC's. The returns of especially the European part of the industry weren't that great recently and to catch up with the financial crisis this leads to funding draft of the VC's and I think that's our biggest obstacle to overcome and I hope that the pharmaceutical industry sees this gap and helps out in this situation and we've seen it now with all the option fund and interactions with VC's that they have clearly realized this problem. Tony Rosenberg this morning said yeah the VC's are not investing in early stage companies anymore, but on the other hand they didn't buy our early stage companies when we had them for sale, yeah. At that time when we had our first round of platform deals for sale we were told show be 2B data and that was a very bitter experience i personally also made in this game that we realize that the platform companies are there at 90's they are very hard to sell in the early '01, '02, '03 years.
But also when we look at the industry which is important to see how the pharmaceutical industries challenges have changed, then will people will always say they were always there because they need to get products on to the market, but productivity you know still an issue from in terms of products coming through the pipeline, there is still this unsatisfied need from medical perspective, so does that, that key driver was changed I suppose is that big pharma companies can no longer just can expect to see products that are out there in Phase II and Phase III they have to move closer to the companies that you are investing in, they have to move closer to the ones that got the technology platforms in order to grab those technologies and isn't it true that you've talked about acquisitions is now become more or less imperative if you look at the behavior of pharmaceutical companies that they have to land grab basically the platform technologies that are out there, if you look at things like Merck's acquisition with Sirna [PharmaDeals ID = 25670] was a classic example of trying to land grab a technology.
We've been investors in Sirna and suppose one of my first things I've was very much involved in at TVM Capital. So yes I think you are absolutely right they need this new disruptive technologies to create the kind of next generation of product, on the other hand as Tony Rosenberg said today they are rather slow in adopting this type of new technologies and this is why they all create now this early scouting functions in order to explore this room with different troops then their own R&D folks. And it's just interesting to see what they are going to do with all of this and whether they will in the end whether this in the end will lead to a benefit for our companies or whether they will again just wait till some of these products will have hit the market and then they suddenly wake up and will try to look for opportunities in this space and for the enabling technologies behind these products. I don't know when, we don't have the time to wait another 5 to 10-years till pharma wakes up and then decides to invest into the sector of the new technologies and this is the big of the dilemma here between the two camps now.
Opportunities in the future
And I just want to just a reminder of you is that they want to see Tony Rosenberg talk about Novartis and business development licensing activities, they can watch our sister program on that which is coming up in your screen right now, but going back to your perspective of the industry, we are sitting here in 2010 looking forward into this, the rest of this decade what's your vision and what's going to happen in the future?
First of all I think that this truly disruptive innovation will still and always pay out, I am sure about this. But it's a way of catch and I've seen in my career about 5 to 10 of this type what I am talking about like Sirna like we've seen Sirtris probably in the antibody space and the second and third generation of scaffold space there are others. But we have to watch out for these opportunities and try to get them to flourish and I think that's what I truly believe in and that there is a market for this type of for this type of companies also in 10-years from now.
Axel Polack, thank you very much indeed for coming on the show.

Adele's return was worth the wait
Annelise Fitzsimmons, New Hope-Solebury High School
"Hello," have you heard the news? Adele is back!
And with a powerful vocal punch, I might add.
After taking a three-year break from performing to raise her son, Angelo, Adele made an anticipated entrance back into the music world by releasing her new song, "Hello," on Oct. 23. After that, people went crazy and the comments started blowing up on popular social media sites like Twitter and Instagram.
The first song ever to sell a million downloads in the week it was released, "Hello" describes an awful break-up and the intimate feelings of loss and regret that follow. The song takes us on a journey through what sounds like a sorrowful conversation about a lost love. From the beautiful ghostly piano chords to the soulful choir-like background vocals, "Hello" is definitely one of the best songs of 2015 and maybe even the year to come.
With her third album due out today and 2016 tour dates to be announced early next year, Adele is sure to have millions in awe of her hard work, dedication and pure talent.
All I can say is, bravo, Adele, welcome back.

Q: Manipulate CSV files Create a solution that accepts an input identifying the name of a CSV file, for example, "input1.csv". Each file contains two rows of comma-separated values. Import the built-in module csv and use its open() function and reader() method to create a dictionary of key:value pairs for each row of comma-separated values in the specified file. Output the file contents as two dictionaries.
The solution output should be in the format
{'key': 'value', 'key': 'value', 'key': 'value'}
{'key': 'value', 'key': 'value', 'key': 'value'}

I tried this but this prints in string format. The output needs to be a dictionary with quotations around key value pair.

import csv

# file_name = input()

dict_1 = {}
dict_2 = {}

file = open('input1.csv', 'r')

content = csv.reader(file)

create_list = []

for line in content:
    create_list.append(line)

file.close()

# Create the dictionary from the _list for the first row...
for i in range(0, len(create_list[0]), 2):
    dict_1[create_list[0][i]] = create_list[0][i + 1]

# Create the dictionary from the _list for the second row...
for i in create_list:
    dict_2[create_list[1][i]] = create_list[1][i + 1]

# Print the first dictionary as per the required format...
print("{", end="")
for key, val in dict_1.items():
    if val != create_list[0][-1]:
        print("{}:{}".format(key, val), end=',')
    else:
        print("{}:{}".format(key, val), end='}')

# Print the second dictionary as per the required format...
print("\n{", end="")
for key, val in dict_2.items():
    if val != create_list[1][-1]:
        print("{}:{}".format(key, val), end=',')
    else:
        print("{}:{}".format(key, val), end='}')

A: The easiest way would be to use the JSON standard library to easily turn dict objects into strings, and do some string replacement to turn the double quotes that JSON uses into single quotes.
import csv
import json

with open("output.txt", "w") as outfile:
    with open("somefile.csv") as infile:
        reader = csv.DictReader(infile)
        for d in reader:
            outfile.write(json.dumps(d).replace('"', "'") + "\n")

Classic Cameras
Kodak Brownie Starmatic - 1959
• One of Kodak's first auto-exposure still cameras
• $34.50 in 1959 ($259 in 2010 dollars)
The Starmatic was one of several auto-exposure cameras introduced in 1959, a big year for auto-exposure. (For SLRs, too, as the Nikon F debuted that year.)
The Starmatic was expensive for a Brownie at $34.50 ($259 in 2010 dollars). By comparison, the Brownie Starflash cost only a third as much. Even an Olympus Pen (no meter, though) was only about $30.

A Trojan horse, called MP3Concept or MP3Virus.gen, has been discovered that masquerades as an MP3 file.
The Trojan appears to be an ordinary MP3 file. In fact, it will play music if launched from inside a digital jukebox like Apple's iTunes. The song plays and the Trojan isn't activated.
I've read a lot about this over the last 12 hours and it appears that Intego is essentially trying scare tactics to sell their software.
but no Trojans exist to go in it yet, so basically Mac OS X is still virus free.
i dont know much abou Macs, is this really true ?
That trojan is an old myth, i even d/l the source for it, which was bogus, this was about a year and a half ago. Old news.
What a joke. The reason there are no well known viruses/trojans/worms for MAC's is simple. No one would waste their time trying to infect a fraction of the machines connected to the Inet. What would it give you? Nothing.
BTW-I still have a powerMAC lying around here somewhere, I use it as my boat anchor or, when the boat's in drydock, I use it as a doorstop.
I can hear you aren't very fond of Mac. I don't understand why. About the security thing. I read about this contest, where a Mac server was set up. You could win 10k dollars if you were able to in any way break into it. A month was set off to do it, and tons of people tried. After a month, no one had even gotten close. So they raised the sum of money, and people tried harder. No one got in. Btw it had no firewall or any other kind of protection software.
It has nothing to do with being fond of MAC or not, it's common sense. If you own a fraction of a percent of the market you aren't likely to get hit with much. Security through obscurity.
And one contest does not a secure system make.
I'm neither for or against any system based solely on the name. I personally find the architecture lacking and very little support as far as applications and hardware. It's great for an electronic cookbook or a glorified MP3 player, but that's about the extent, in my opinion.
Couldn't agree more, and the same thing applies to some extent to linux systems, although in this case there are a number of experienced guys who do try and fix loopholes.
IMHO, it's going to get very interesting if, and when MS make their systems more secure, which they do seem to be on course to achieving.
The important thing to remember is that OSX is a proprietary OS, like Windows, whereas linux is not. Therefore you are relying on Apple to fix any problems that might occur, which they may not wish to fix, because of the cost involved.
Mac's are superb systems (in my opinion).
So they dont run the latest windows games who cares?
Macs are great for the people who actually use their computer for WORK.
And yes there will be security issues with macs, but look at Windows, Netware, Linux, BSD, SCO Unix etc, they all have security issues.
The main point I have to make is that Macintoshs are rather well designed (if somewhat speciallised) business computers, and I am rather impressed by the ibook I have.
While the macs only make up 9% of the market share, they are actually used for quite a bit of work that "normal" (aka below average compared to Macs) computers can't handle. Will edit and post links to such sites and testimonials, etc. Not meaning to be offensive btw, but I think MS is good for nothing more than playing really good video games on it (X-Box anyone? great system for games. Man I hope we don't turn this into one big flame war).
But yes, I agree that trying to hack into a Mac is harder to do and there aren't as many out there (although you would have a quick offer from Apple for a job if you ever did. or a warrant if its bad. whatever).
EDIT: Aight heres one site.

Zsetiszu, vagy Szemirecsje (kazah nyelven: Жетысу, Джетысу,
és Yedi-su törökül, هفت‌آب) a "hét folyó" régiója, amelyek közül öt ma is létezik. A fennmaradt folyók amelyek délkelet felől a Balkas-tó felé áramlanak: Ili, Karatal, Aksu és a Lepszi. A terület a perzsa Haft-āb Közép-Ázsia egy részének történelmi neve, amely a modern Kazahsztán délkeleti részének felel meg.

Amikor a régiót a 19. században az Orosz Birodalom kebelezte be, neve oroszul is ismertté vált, mint Szemirecsje (orosz: Семиречье), amely a kazah Zsetiszu (pontosabban hét víz) orosz változata.

Zsetiszu a mai Almati régióba esik, amely Kazahsztán része. A Szemirecsje terület azonban, mint az Orosz Birodalom közigazgatási egysége, nemcsak Zsetiszut, hanem olyan területeket is magában foglal, amelyek jelenleg Észak-Kirgizisztán és Kazahsztán szomszédos tartományai.

Földrajza
A Szemirecsje-terület 19. századi földjei közé tartoztak a  Balkas-tótól délre fekvő sztyeppék és a Tien-san-hegység Iszik-köl (tó) környéki részei. A tartomány 147 300 km² volt, és északon Szemirecsje tartomány, keleten és délen Kína (Hszincsiang), valamint nyugaton Fergana, Szir-darja és az Akmolinszki területtel volt határos.

A Dzsjahari Alatau-hegység, amely elválasztotta Kulja kínai régióját, délnyugat felé halad az Ili-folyó felé, átlagosan 2700 m tenger feletti magasságban, több elszigetelt hófödte csúcsot elérve 3400-4300 m. Délen a régió magában foglalja Ala-Tau és a Tiensan bonyolult rendszereit. Az Iszik-köl-tó északi partján az előbbi, a Trans-Ili Ala-tau és a Terskey Ala-tau két tartományára terjedt ki, mindkettő 3000 és 4600 m között, és mindkettő részlegesen hóval fedett. A tótól délre, a Tien-san két tartománya, a Narin völgye által elválasztva, ugyanabba az irányba nyúlik, 1800-ra és 2400 m-re magas jeges csúcsaikkal; míg a tó partjától nyugatra, az Alexander-lánc lejtői, melyek 2700-3000 méter magas magas, 900–1200 m-rel magasabb csúcsokkal, a Szir-darja egykori tartományába (Simkent, Taraz és Turkesztán dél kazah városai). Egy másik, sokkal alacsonyabb magasságú hegyi komplexum északnyugatra fekszik a Trans-Ili Ala-tautól a Balkas-tó déli végpontja felé. Az északi részen, ahol a tartomány Szemipalatyinszk határát övezte, Tarbagatai tartomány nyugati részei voltak, amelyek csúcsai (3000 m) nem érik el az örök hó határát. A tartomány fennmaradó része az északkeleti (Szergiopol) termékeny sztyeppéből és a Balkas-tó déli részén elterülő hatalmas, lakhatatlan homoksztyeppekből állt. Ezektől délre a hegyek lábánál és a völgyek bejáratánál gazdag termőterületek vannak.

Éghajlat

Zsetiszu klímája erősen kontinentális. A Balkas-sztyeppéken a tél nagyon hideg. A tó minden évben megfagy, a hőmérséklet –11 °C alá csökken. Az Ala-kul sztyeppékben a szél fújja el a havat. A télből tavaszba való átmenet nagyon hirtelen következik be, a sztyeppék vegetációja gyorsan fejlődik, azonban hamarosan kiégeti a nap.

Folyói
A legjelentősebb folyó az Ili, amely a kínai Ili Kazah Autonóm prefektúra területén a Tien-san-hegységből lép be a Zsetiszu területére.

Spread between short-horizon statistical and fundamental forecasts widens in the US
Sector exposures to Momentum and Market Sensitivity have changed substantially this year
Market Sensitivity returns have reversed course
Two weeks ago, we wrote about the widening gap between the short-horizon statistical and fundamental models in Asia-Pacific. While that spread has narrowed, the gap in the forecasts for the STOXX USA 900 has grown to more than two percentage points—higher than it has been in all but a handful of days since at least 2012. As we have often noted, the statistical model occasionally picks up a transient risk that is not "seen" in the fundamental model. Further analysis shows that the stock-specific risk from each model is roughly equal, so the difference lies in factor risk. In other words, something may indeed be "bubbling under the surface." While the two percentage-point difference may seem small, it is about 20% of the fundamental forecast of 11%. Active managers may want to examine the risk spread in their active forecasts, to see if there is an unforeseen risk there as well. Also note that there is considerably less difference in the two forecasts in the other markets we track closely.
See the graph the US Risk Monitor as of 15 July 2021:
With Energy prices rising, Financial stocks performing better than they had been, and Market Sensitivity—which saw huge changes in exposures during the pandemic—continuing to see rotation, the exposures of certain sectors to style factors in the US have also seen some big changes. Specifically, the exposure of Consumer Discretionary to Medium-Term Momentum fell by quite a bit, while the exposures of Financials and especially Energy to that factor have jumped. At the same time, Information Technology's exposure to Market Sensitivity popped, while a number of sectors—Financials, Industrials, Materials, Real Estate and Utilities, and again, especially Energy—saw their Market Sensitivity exposures decline. Utilities also saw an increase in Volatility exposure, as did Consumer Staples. The highlighted boxes in the table below indicate exposure changes of at least 0.5, with figures that increased in the black boxes, and figures that dropped in the red boxes. These changing factor exposures can filter into active risk forecasts, and therefore bear watching.
The theme of our Q2 2021 Quarterly Risk Highlights was "BTTON – Back to the Old Normal" (see here for more detail). The recent returns to the Market Sensitivity factor, which we touched on in last week's Equity Highlights, are a good illustration of this. In most regions the factor's return since March has been negative, reversing an unusually long period of highly positive returns that started with the market turnaround in April 2020. The factor's returns in all regions except China and Emerging Markets were negative, and below the long-term average for the last one and three months. In addition, while some factors' volatility levels remain closer to the high ends of their historical ranges, Market Sensitivity's is right back at its long-term average.
While we chose to show the chart from the Developed Markets ex-US Risk Monitor below, the factor's path in most developed-market countries and regions for which we have risk models looks quite similar.

Q: Why does tailing an output log sometimes give partial lines? Sometimes, tailing an output log which is constantly being updated doesn't give the whole lines. Why is that?
grep pattern input_file > output.log &
tail output.log

Why doesn't it print the last line in full?

A: Reading and writing a file is not line-atomic, and tail -f is not line-buffered. So, when tail -f reads the file while it was still being written, it may reach the end of the file (and therefore stop printing) before the process writing to the file writes the end of the line. When that happens, it prints an incomplete line because that's all it sees.

Federer storms into Wimbledon Final for a Seventh win
7:59 PM Jalal HB No comments
What a day it was at the Centre Court Wimbledon this afternoon when the titans came to clash each other in the first semi final of the men's single event of the Wimbledon.
The match between the defending champion and world no.1 Serbian Novak Djokovic and world no.3 Swiss Roger Federer ended in classic victory byt eh Swiss over the deffending champion.
Federer having won the first set 6-3, lost the second set t Djokovic 6-3. But thereafter, it was Federer commanding the Serbian and finally won over the match 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 and 6-3.
Federer now marches into the Wimbledon final to realize his dream of equalling the seven times win record of of William Renshaw and Pete Sempras.
The result of the other semi final between British no.1 Andy Murray and Frenchman Tsonga is awaited - it remains to be seen whether Murray moves to final and win over Federer to make history hoping to end Britain's 76-year wait for a male singles champion at Wimbledon or it is Federer who equals the seven wins record of William Renshaw and Pete Sempras.

How to Stream Trooper Chad Walker's Funeral if You Can't Attend
Aaron Savage Published: April 7, 2021
Texas State Trooper Chad Walker - TxDPS Photo
Groesbeck's Goat Stadium will host the funeral service for State Trooper Chad Walker today at 10AM, and a crowd of mourners has already gathered. If you can't make it to the service but still want to pay your respects and honor Trooper Walker, you can watch a live stream of the memorial service.
Our partners at News 10 will be streaming the service live on their Facebook page and at KWTX.com.
Groesbeck ISD has cancelled classes for the day to accommodate the service and everyone who wants to honor Trooper Walker. However, Kids Kare Academy is still open for its usual hours.
Trooper Walker was fatally wounded on the night of Friday, March 26 while stopping to help a driver he believed to be in distress on FM 2838 near Mexia. As Walker was pulling up, a man later identified as Dearthur Pinson Jr. exited his vehicle and began firing at Walker, striking him in the head and abdomen before fleeing.
Pinson Jr. was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound the next day in an abandoned home on State Highway 84 west of Mexia.
Trooper Walker is survived by a wife and four children.
According to Walker's obituary, his family asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to these charities that he believed in:
Trinity Oaks Fallen Officers Foundation - 9385 Miller Lane, San Antonio, TX 78266
The Kailee Mills Foundation
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - 1-800-478-5833 - 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, TN 38105
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Trooper Walker, his family, his fellow officers, and the entire Groesbeck community.

Q: how to repeat activity in android? I have more than one that's are splashActivity, mainActivity, etc. In beginning of installing application it start activity at splashActivity, but if web click application icon it didn't start at splashActivity anymore, it stared directly into mainActivity.
How to set every starting application it will start at splashActivity?

A: You can set the activity attribute noHistory to true in your manifest, like so: android:noHistory="true"
Read: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html#nohist
With noHistory set to true, your activity will not be stored on the application stack and by setting it to true for all your activities, the application is forced to start from the first activity.
See also: Removing an activity from the history stack

A: What probably has happened is that your application hasn't closed, but sent to background. When you start it again, it actually doesn't start again, but it is brought into foreground. This is standard behaviour and you shouldn't try to change it.


People who write food blogs feel a fair bit of pressure to keep coming up with great food, photographing it, and sharing the recipes day after day. Perhaps that's why on the weekends a number of us let our hair down and blog about something just for fun. Over at Eat Stuff, there is Weekend Cat Blogging, and at Sweetnicks, there is Weekend Dog Blogging. Here at Kalyn's Kitchen I don't have a dog or a cat, so on the weekends I write about plants. Weekend Herb Blogging is an event that started as a joke and has turned into a very fun way for bloggers to share information about interesting herbs, plants, vegetables, and flowers.
The quality of the herb posts that come to me every weekend are amazing. I'm going to remind you about this weekend's herb blogging opportunity by sharing a post from last week which I mistakenly left out after Blogger mangled my recap and I had to recreate it. From Malaysia, a great blog called Tham Jiak featured a fascinating post about curry leaves. Hop on over and check it out and you can get a taste of the kinds of things you will see this weekend.
If you're a food blogger and would like to participate, there are really no rules. Simply write about and photograph any herb, plant, vegetable, or flower sometime over the weekend. Then by Sunday afternoon (Utah time), send your link to Kalyn (kalynskitchen (at) comcast (dot) net). If you use Technorati, tag your post "Weekend Herb Blogging" and it will help others to find it, but that's optional.
Last week I showed my herbs with frost. Now it's freezing cold outside in Utah and I will probably have to do my herb photographing in the grocery store. Luckily I am on good terms with my local produce man. I really have no idea what I am going to be writing about this weekend, but hey, that is part of the fun. I am guessing that there are at least a few other regular herb bloggers who are also hating winter and wondering what to post about. Of course, we have a lot of people in warmer climates writing about things growing to keep us inspired over the winter. Check back Sunday night for the recap and see what we come up with.
DOES MY BLOG LOOK GOOD IN THIS!
Does My Blog Look Good In This (DMBLGIT) is a monthly contest to honor the best photograph of food to appear on a food blog in the previous month. There's no prize except the winner gets lots of nice comments from other food bloggers and the satisfaction of winning. The competition is intense. There are obviously a lot of very talented people writing food blogs around the world.
This month I was brazen enough to enter a photo, even though I have only had a digital camera for two months, almost to the day, and I knew I didn't have a chance to win. I didn't care, I thought it would be a thrill to see one of my novice photos next to all those great food photos. (It was!) Yesterday the winners were announced, but I don't want to spoil the fun. Check out the first batch of entries and the second batch of entries and see if you can spot the winner.
I was very excited because I did pick the winner! So even if I am a total novice at taking photos, I can tell a good photo when I see it. Now, if you haven't cheated and read the winners first, go back over and see who the winners were and see if you were able to pick them. Much thanks to Moira of Who Wants Seconds for hosting and to the judges, Anthony, Jeanne, Keiko, Reid, and Sam for their efforts.
Lisa, in photography DOF means "depth of field". I'm not an expert, but that means how the photo shows the difference from the front of the scene to the back of the scene. Depending on different camera settings, you can make it look closer or farther away.
Please tell me what "great use of DOF" might mean?
Sorry, I forget to change blog id, I often make a mess because of that!
Kalyn, I have to skip it this weekend but I promise that I will be back next week!
I've also invented a new dish today which i will link to my post but i won't be able to post the recipe until tomorrow (i'm out tonight and am running out of time).

KCL Big Question
Pope Francis calls for reconciliation between North and South Korea
Pontiff receives an ecstatic reception when he addresses crowds in English, veering off-script to make a call for peace between the two Koreas.
Pope Francis gives a thumbs up during a meeting with Asian youth at the Solmoe Sanctuary in Dangjin, South Korea Photo: Ahn Young-joon/AP
By Nick Squires
8:05PM BST 15 Aug 2014
The Pope departed from a prepared speech today to urge South and North Korea to strive for reconciliation, calling on the two countries to reunite as one family "with no victors or vanquished".
The unscheduled remarks were his most specific comments on the division of the peninsula since he arrived in South Korea on Thursday on his first visit to Asia since becoming pontiff.
"Let us pray for our brothers in the North," the Pope said at a rally for young people in the town of Solmoe, where Korea's first priest is commemorated with a shrine.
"Lord, we are one family. Help us reach unity. You can do it. So that there are no victors or vanquished. Just one family, only brothers."
Huge crowds watch Pope at Beatification Mass
Prospects for peace appeared remote, however – North Korea fired three missiles into the sea just before the Pope's arrival in South Korea and another two soon after.
Francis, who is on the third overseas trip of his pontificate after visits to Brazil and the Holy Land, was given a rock star reception, with thousands of young people cheering him. He condemned rampant consumerism and materialism in a country that has dragged itself out of war, poverty and military rule in the past 50 years and where accruing wealth is seen as enviable and praiseworthy rather than something to apologise for.
The Pope warned that consumerism led to a "cancer" of despair and urged South Korean Roman Catholics to turn away from "inhumane economic models".
It was a message intended not just for South Korean but for other Asian countries where the gap between the rich and poor is growing amid a boom in economic growth and consumerism.
In deference to his audience, the Pope spoke for a short time in English, rather than his native Spanish or Italian, in which he is fluent. Although clearly awkward in the language, his concession was cheered by the crowds.

The door to the circus is officially open and here at the Big Man we are buying front row tickets. The Euros begin in June and in early February it is going predictably wrong, if a little earlier than expected, for the nation who invented the game they are so pitiful at playing (when attempting to do so collectively).
That Fabio was on his way could only have been expected given that Harry was found "not guilty guvna". In my ill-informed and totally unsubstantiated opinion it is a fact that Harry will continue as Spurs boss until the end of the season whilst also taking on responsibility for the national team. England have a few friendlies to see to, and may do so under Stuart Pearce's expert guidance and Spurs will have a title tilt, which Joe Jordan will see to. But rest assured Harry Redknapp will be the man in charge, and will wave his magical motivational wand when needed.
However, the problem of Terry still remains. I cannot see Harry dropping John Terry from the squad but now he's freed up some court time perhaps Terry's case can be brought forward to definitively solve the issue (one created by poor scheduling and maybe some racism).
But this wouldn't be England without something hampering preparations. No doubt Joe Hart will break a finger 2 weeks before the championship begins and have to spend every hour in an oxygen chamber eating pure calcium and absorbing copious quantities of vitamin D. And Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be charged will carrying the nation's baggage of expectation to Krakow, but for him it will be 4 years too soon.

Attachment to your child's artwork is understandable. Don't risk ending up with a hoarder-style obsession where mountainous piles of crayon drawings and finger paintings crowd your home – take a look at this smart display option.
Those clumsy, whimsical drawings our children create are, in our eyes, masterpieces. Not for their composition, use of colour, or technique. But because they've come from the clever little mind of a child. But paintings on giant pieces of butcher paper soon begin taking up precious space. ArtRooms is a brilliant Australian company which has come to the rescue of parents in need of freedom from expanding children's art collections.
The concept is simple – your children's artwork, turned into a collage print, framed and ready to take pride of place on a wall. You simply send the artwork to ArtRooms (courtesy of a special box which is posted out to you). ArtRooms will then scan each piece of art, create a layout, print out the image and frame it. They will even post the precious original artwork back to you (just in case you really can't bear to part with them).
There are a variety of layouts available, depending on how many images you choose to include. At the large end of the scale, a print with fifty-six images measures 980mm by 1100mm, and costs $880 fully framed, or $780 as a canvas. A single original artwork can be framed in A3 size for $165.

Mark St. John, de son vrai nom Mark Leslie Norton, né le  à Anaheim et mort d'une hémorragie cérébrale le  à Hollywood, est un musicien américain.

Il est le guitariste qui remplace Vinnie Vincent au sein de Kiss en 1984.

Biographie
Mark St. John n'effectua qu'un bref passage au sein de Kiss à partir de , participant à l'enregistrement de l'album Animalize pour être à son tour remplacé officiellement le  par Bruce Kulick.

Ayant développé une forme rare d'arthrite baptisé Syndrome de Reiter entraînant une sudation excessive des mains, Mark St. John fut incapable physiquement de tenir son poste de guitariste au sein de Kiss alors qu'une tournée américaine venait de débuter. Il ne put effectuer que deux concerts en intégralité, le troisième nécessitant son remplacement après quelques chansons par Bruce Kulick et entraînant son éviction définitive du groupe.

Mark St. John essaya de relancer sa carrière en montant son propre groupe baptisé White Tiger en compagnie de son frère Michael Norton à la basse, du batteur Brian James Fox et du chanteur David Donato, ce dernier ayant très brièvement été membre de Black Sabbath. White Tiger publia en 1986 sur le label indépendant E.M.C. un premier album éponyme qui atteignit le score très honorable de  vendus. Le groupe se sépara en 1988 alors qu'il préparait les maquettes d'un deuxième album et se rebaptisa The Keep en intégrant le batteur Peter Criss, lui aussi ancien membre de Kiss. Cette formation n'enregistra qu'une seule maquette et ne se produisit sur scène qu'une seule fois le  au Guitar Center de Lawndale.

Mark St. John apparait au poste de guitariste dans le clip de Is Everybody Happy, single publié en 1989 par David Hasselhoff.

Redevenu professeur de guitare, Mark St. John publia en 1999 le MARK ST. JOHN PROJECT puis l'album instrumental Magic Bullet Theory en .

Alors que son décès par hémorragie cérébrale semblait être purement accidentel, plusieurs témoignages donnent une version bien sombre des derniers mois de la vie de Mark St. John, marquée par la toxicomanie : incarcéré le  pendant deux semaines dans la prison Theo Lacy d'Orange County pour possession de drogue, Mark St John fut physiquement agressé par plusieurs co-détenus. La cause officielle du décès selon le coroner d'Orange County est une hémorragie cérébrale consécutive à une overdose d'amphétamines.

With over 1.4 million subscribers, it is safe to say that the Economist is a well read and respected publication. Targeting highly educated, cultured readers, the magazines audience contains many influential executives and policy-makers.
The Economist Plaza is one of London's most beloved architectural icons and was designed by internationally-renowned architects, Alison and Peter Smithson specifically to be home of the Economist.
In 2016, the building was acquired by Tishman Speyer, who leased back its space in the building for a further 18 months to the magazine. The Economist moved out of the building during the Summer of 2017, and Tishman Speyer completed the first phase of renovation in June 2018.
The building is made of 14-storeys and was remodelled to add approximately 24,000 sq.ft of office space, a 4500 sq.ft art gallery, a new 1500 sq.ft restaurant space as well as four one-bedroom residential units. We provided the mast climber package for the development for replacing glass and stone and cleaning at heights of up to 60 metres.
