Worley's E&C Services eyeing energy transition opportunities
July 9, 2019 African Petrochemicals 0 Latest News,
Earlier this year, two major professional service providers to the energy, chemicals and resources sectors came together under a new brand, Worley. The merger is a combination of two highly complementary organisations – WorleyParsons and Jacobs' Energy, Chemicals and Resources (ECR) line of business – that has created a pre-eminent global provider of professional project and asset services in energy, chemicals and resources, offering global sector leadership across hydrocarbons, mining, mineral, metals, chemicals, power and infrastructure sectors.
"As a unified, integrated organisation, we are able to serve our customers better," comments Ed Hanbidge, Vice President of Worley's Energy & Chemicals (E&C) Services division for southern and eastern Africa. "The presence of these two complementary divisions in South Africa – one focusing on minerals and mining, the other one on energy, oil and gas – has created a stronger, united entity in many respects, through combined services, delivery programmes, resources and expertise," says Hanbidge. "We are building on the best of both companies to unlock long-term value for our existing and new customers across Africa. We acknowledge that the growth potential in our core markets is underpinned by the global energy transition, and as such, we have expanded our capabilities across the entire energy and chemicals value chain."
Hanbidge says that Worley's E&C Services business line offers global expertise to help customers develop, build and maintain technically complex facilities across the energy, chemicals and power sectors. The company's E&C services include greenfield and brownfield engineering, procurement, project management, programme management and operations. In cooperation with its advisory, Major Projects and Integrated Solutions business line, Worley is able to guide and support customers across the full asset life cycle of their facilities, whether onshore, offshore or deep water.
In South Africa, the E&C Services business line is predominantly active in the petroleum and chemicals industries. In addition to helping customers deliver and maintain technically complex facilities in these sectors, the company is also uniquely qualified in helping plant operators reach their optimum profitable potential within their existing production facilities thanks to its strong partnerships and technical experience.
Worley's E&C Services business line is also known for its long-term blue-chip customer relationships. "More than 95 percent of our work is repeat business," says Hanbidge. "We get to know our customers' business requirements, and partner with them to help them achieve their objectives. This commitment to our customers produces consistent cost advantages, profits and growth, allowing us to attract and retain the industry's top talent."
Krish Iyer, President of E&C Services for Middle East and Africa at Worley, says that both legacy companies have been working very successfully in their respective markets for a long time, building on established relationships and expertise. "Integrating our services, expertise, geographies and sector coverage presents a number of opportunities for our business and our customers, and our combined capabilities and strengths will allow us to truly partner with our customers. We also now have the strength and scale to expand our service offering and we are excited about what the new combined force will be able to deliver for the market."
Iyer notes that of specific interest for the E&C Services business line is the downstream capability that the legacy Jacobs ECR business brings to Worley, coupled with the company's expertise and experience in the power sector. For example, the company is actively pursuing opportunities in downstream gas in eastern Africa, building on the successes achieved in this region on projects such as the Lake Turkana and Kipeto wind power projects in Kenya, and the Mtwara to Dar es Salaam Pipeline Project in Tanzania. "We are seeing significant growth in opportunities in this market, and are working with customers to explore these opportunities," says Iyer.
Hanbidge comments that Worley is also looking at ways that the combined global digital capabilities can be used to add value to their customers across the region. "There are many technologies that are already being used in other parts of the world that can be introduced to Africa – these technologies represent a smart way of executing work in terms of efficiencies and productivity, not only in the construction phase, but also into the operational and maintenance phases. While not yet fully recognised by the industry, there is a huge array of benefits, and we are seeing an increasing demand from our customers in the energy, chemicals and resources sectors who do not want to be left behind in the digital revolution."
"We are confident that integrating our operations, capabilities and geographic diversity places us in a strong position to capture the opportunities presented by the global energy transition, while bringing our digital and new energy capabilities to add maximum value to our customers' new and existing operations," concludes Hanbidge.

Robin Moore
For those of a similar name, see Robyn Moore.
Robert Lowell Moore Jr. (October 31, 1925 – February 21, 2008) was an American writer who wrote The Green Berets, The French Connection: A True Account of Cops, Narcotics, and International Conspiracy, and with Xaviera Hollander and Yvonne Dunleavy, The Happy Hooker: My Own Story.
Robert Lowell Moore Jr.
February 21, 2008(2008-02-21) (aged 82)
Hopkinsville, Kentucky
Harvard College (1949)
Fiction and non-fiction
Military, war
Moore also co-authored the lyrics for the "Ballad of the Green Berets", which was one of the major hit songs of 1966. The song was also featured in the 1968 film The Green Berets, based on Moore's book, which starred John Wayne. A new edition of The Green Berets was published in April 2007, and his last book, Wars of the Green Berets, co-authored with Col. Mike 'Doc' Lennon, was released in June 2007.
At the time of his death, Moore was residing in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, home to Fort Campbell and the 5th Special Forces Group, where he was working on his memoirs and three other books.

Early life and careerEdit
Born in Boston, Moore was raised in Concord, Massachusetts, where he attended Middlesex School. He also attended Belmont Hill School.
During World War II, he served as a nose gunner in the U.S. Army Air Forces, flying combat missions in the European Theater. For his service, he was awarded the Air Medal. Moore graduated from Harvard College in 1949, and one of his first jobs was working in television production and then at the Sheraton Hotel Company co-founded by his father, Robert Lowell Moore. While working in the hotel business in the Caribbean, he recorded the early days of Fidel Castro in the nonfiction book The Devil To Pay.
Training with Special ForcesEdit
Due to connections with Harvard classmate Robert F. Kennedy, (Harvard class of 1948), Moore (Harvard class of 1949) was allowed access to the U.S. Army Special Forces to write about this elite unit of the United States Army. General William P. Yarborough insisted that Moore go through special forces training to better understand "what makes Special Forces soldiers 'special'." He trained for nearly a year, first at "jump school" for airborne training before completing the Special Forces Qualification Course or "Q course", becoming the first civilian to participate in such an intensive program. Afterwards, Moore was assigned to the 5th Special Forces Group on deployment to South Vietnam. His experiences in-country formed the basis for The Green Berets, a bestseller that helped secure him international acclaim (see United States Army Special Forces in popular culture).
Later writingsEdit
During the 1970s and '80s, Moore travelled widely, spending time in such places as Dubai, Iran, Rhodesia, and Russia. Having gathered the information needed, he wrote The Crippled Eagles (later published as The White Tribe) and The Moscow Connection. Due to political controversy, The Crippled Eagles was rejected by publishers and did not appear until the early 1990s. He also wrote the nonfiction books Rhodesia and Major Mike (with U.S. Army Major Mike Williams).
Moore travelled to Uzbekistan in December 2001 to research the CIA-Northern Alliance war against the Taliban and al-Qaeda, publishing the account in the bestseller The Hunt for Bin Laden.
In 2003, continuing his interest in writing about the war on terror, Moore traveled to Iraq to research Operation Iraqi Freedom and the downfall of the Saddam Hussein regime for his book, Hunting Down Saddam. Before his death, he completed The Singleton: Target Cuba with Ret. USASF Major General Geoffrey Lambert, a novel about Fidel Castro and biological warfare.
The Hunt For Bin Laden veracityEdit
Shortly after the publication of The Hunt for Bin Laden, the veracity of the book was disputed, particularly regarding the involvement of Jack Idema. Idema, who was one of Moore's major sources, provided what later proved to be fabricated accounts of his exploits. To portray himself as having a greater role in the operation, Idema apparently went as far as to rewrite much of Moore and Chris Thompson's text prior to publication under the direct authorization of Random House editor Bob Loomis. Special Forces soldiers who were on the mission (including those whom Moore interviewed) disputed Idema's claims.[1]
With Idema thus discredited, Moore eventually disavowed The Hunt for Bin Laden and the book remains out of print.[2] Despite the dispute over the book's veracity, Moore continued to enjoy the respect of the Special Forces community.[3]
Other worksEdit
FilmEdit
The Green Berets is a 1968 film based on Moore's 1965 book.[4] Parts of the screenplay bear little relation to the novel, although the portion in which a woman seduces a Vietnamese communist leader and sets him up to be kidnapped by Americans is from the book. John Wayne requested and obtained full military co-operation and materiel from President Johnson. To please the Pentagon, which was attempting to prosecute Robin Moore for revealing classified information, Wayne bought Moore out for $35,000 and 5% of undefined profits of the film.[5]
OtherEdit
Creator of the comic strip Tales of the Green Beret and the book The Man with the Silver Oar
Co-screenwriter for the film Inchon about the Inchon landing during the Korean War[4]
Co-founder of the Crippled Eagles club in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) for expatriate Americans serving with the Rhodesian Security Forces
HonorsEdit
At the 2007 5th Special Forces Group reunion banquet, Col. Chris Conner confirmed Moore as a lifelong member of 5th SFG. At the same banquet, Moore was made a Kentucky colonel.[citation needed]
Death and BurialEdit
Robin Moore died in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, on February 21, 2008, after a long illness. A memorial service was held in the First Presbyterian Church in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Eulogies were given by Rudi Gresham, Major General Victor J. Hugo Jr., Major General Thomas R. Csrnko, Alexander N. Rossolimo, and Moore's brother John. A Presidential citation was presented to Helen Moore by General Hugo. Full military honors were rendered immediately after the service by a complement of 5th Group Special Forces soldiers from Fort Campbell .[6]
Moore was cremated and his remains were interred in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery (Concord, Massachusetts) with full military honors rendered again by a complement of Special Forces soldiers from the 5th Group of Fort Campbell and this time the Concord Independent Battery delivered gun salutes. This was followed by a sounding of Echo Taps.
Major General Gary L. Harrell, deputy commanding general of the United States Special Operations Command, issued this statement in praise of Moore:
All Special Forces Soldiers, past and present, mourn the passing of Robin Moore; he was a valued and trusted member of the Special Operations family. Robin was a devoted advocate and a true Ambassador for the "Green Beret" and all they stand for. His writings on Special Forces are textbooks for our modern Unconventional Warriors; they were both educational and inspirational and introduced the world to the "Green Berets." He will be missed.[7]

I had the pleasure of starting my year off at Social Tilt, a gathering of community builders and social entrepreneurs. I came away with lots of insights. One of the most profound came from Andy Stoll, a social entrepreneur based in Iowa. Andy does some excellent work to build and foster the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area.
As we were discussing the intersection between his interest in nurturing entrepreneurs and my interest in urban design and land-use, Andy shared an excellent analogy: land-use and urban planning are like the hardware of a city while the kind of work he does to nurture startups and entrepreneurs is like the software.
I think this is a very useful perspective. There is a strong interplay between the built environment in our communities and the local economy. In previous Strong Towns posts, Chuck has talked about this relationship and how auto-oriented development on the fringe favors absentee owned businesses while putting local entrepreneurs at a competitive disadvantage.
This connection between urbanism and economic gardening is important. Too often people fall into the trap of thinking that, if they create a cool walkable urban district or add a streetcar, tech startups and hipster coffee shops will somehow magically appear. But without a concerted effort to support local entrepreneurs, that is less likely. Conversely, it is increasingly difficult to attract talented millennials to suburbia.
Creating community over business was a reoccurring theme throughout the event. Tom Stellman, founder and CEO of TIP Strategies in Austin Texas, works with small cities across the nation to help them with economic development. He has found that without strong community, a strong economy cannot exist.
Secrets like starting an Empty Buildings Tour, as Deb Brown did in Webster City Iowa. By touring the empty buildings of their downtown, she was able to bring light to their potential; now, 10 of the 12 buildings are filled with new businesses.
Secrets like getting local entrepreneurs to meet each other and share what they're doing, by giving them a platform with lots of free coffee. Nate Olsen shared how he did this in Kansas City, by starting an event called 1 Million Cups that now exists in over 70 cities around the nation.
There are plenty of other secrets and tools out there to grow and nurture the local economy. Obviously, it helps if local political leaders and economic development officials have evolved beyond chasing smokestacks and have started investing economic development resources in local companies.
However, there are plenty of things strong citizens can do to move the ball forward. A few tactics that come to mind (by no means is this an exhaustive list): getting entrepreneurs together regularly through events like startup drinks, creating coworking spaces, holding Startup Weekends, and creating startup incubators. Providing educational and coaching opportunities for entrepreneurs is another important component.
I'm excited by the interplay between building great places and creating sustainable and vibrant local economies. Efforts on both fronts are maturing and becoming more sophisticated which gives me a lot of hope. Cheers to all the community builders out there!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this interplay or secrets to grow the local economy organically. Please share in the comments.

Pine Gulch fire update: Residents ordered to be ready to evacuate as wildfire grows
The 21,364-acre wildfire near Grand Junction has been growing steadily since it was sparked by lightning on July 31
Flames from the Pine Gulch Fire are seen in this screen capture from a video posted on Facebook by the Rocky Mountain Incident Management Team Black, Aug. 8, 2020.
By Shelly Bradbury | sbradbury@denverpost.com |
PUBLISHED: August 9, 2020 at 10:19 a.m. | UPDATED: August 9, 2020 at 1:50 p.m.
Authorities asked residents near the Pine Gulch fire north of Grand Junction to be packed ready to evacuate at a moment's notice as the fire continued to grow this weekend.
The 23,882-acre wildfire has been growing steadily since it was sparked by lightning on July 31, fueled by dry vegetation, gusty winds and low humidity. The fire is burning in remote, steep slopes about 18 miles north of Grand Junction in Mesa and Garfield counties, and the rough terrain has made firefighting difficult. It is about 7% contained.
A handful of homes along County Roads 200 and 202 have already been evacuated, authorities said Saturday, and residents who live along County Roads 204, 209, 207 and Clear Creek Road were issued pre-evacuation notices Saturday evening.
Those residents should be packed and ready to leave immediately should the fire approach, authorities said, noting that the order affects only about eight homes.
Residents in the pre-evacuation area will be notified in-person by emergency personnel if an evacuation is ordered, and notifications will also be made through the Garfield County Emergency Notification System and online.
Nearly 500 people are fighting the fire — 472 personnel are on scene — and authorities expected to see "moderate to high rates of spread" Sunday.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment issued a 24-hour air quality warning for northern Mesa County and southwestern Garfield County Sunday morning, warning that the areas would see moderate and heavy smoke. The advisory encouraged residents who experience heavy smoke in their neighborhoods to stay inside.

The program will happen on Wednesday, Aug. 3 at 4 p.m.


It could be said that if you had only one day to experience the best of Australia's wine scene, you would have to spend it in the Barossa Valley, just one hour's easy driving north of Adelaide.
The region's renowned wine heritage grew from German settlers who planted their new lives and first vines here in the 1840s.

Trade news > Exports Collapse as Coronavirus Freezes International Trade
Exports Collapse as Coronavirus Freezes International Trade
Andrew Soergel|U.S News & World Report| Global Trade| World Trade|Crisis|
U.S. GOODS EXPORTS FELL off a cliff last month, as the global economy froze in the wake of an ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has sickened more than 1 million people in the U.S. and more than 3 million around the world.
Exports of U.S. goods plummeted roughly 6.7% in March – their most significant decline since the world was in the throes of the financial crisis of 2008. Shipments of American automotive were down nearly 18% last month, while industrial supply shipments dropped 7.5%.
And experts are warning that this is only the beginning of international trade disruptions. Historic economic weakness is expected in the coming months at home and abroad as the world only gradually reawakens from a commerce freeze that saw nonessential businesses shuttered in several countries across the globe. Demand for personal protective equipment and medical supplies has never been higher in many cases, but most other sectors have been adversely impacted by global factory shutdowns and depressed consumer demand.
"The coronavirus pandemic is set to have a massive impact on world trade," Adam Slater, lead economist at Oxford Economics, wrote in a research note on Tuesday. "Steep falls in industrial output will hit trade in goods hard, while the unusually service-driven nature of the emergent recession also means services trade will plummet."
The trade deficit spiked 7.2% last month as imports of international products into the U.S. contracted at a slower pace than the country's exports. Imports were down just 2.4% – also led by a 9% decline in automotive shipments. Consumers are widely believed to have put off significant purchases of cars and other relatively high-priced items, given the world's general state of the labor market and economic upheaval.
With a slow recovery expected in the months ahead, analysts predict 2020 will be the worst year for international trade at least since the global financial crisis, and possibly even worse than that, given the sheer number of industries that have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak. Slater predicts global trade could contract by as much as 15% this year, compared with a 10% decline during the financial crisis.

Q: Replace kubernetes yaml environment variables in Azure pipeline? I have an azure devops pipeline that I'm using to deploy a kubernetes project to rancher. In my k8s deployment.yaml file I have environment variables defined like this:
      containers:
        - name: frontend
          env:
          - name: GIT_HASH
            value: dummy_value

I want to be able to replace the GIT_HASH with a value created in the azure yml pipeline. Specifically, I have a script to get a git commit e.g:
   - task: Bash@3
      displayName: Set the short git hash as a variable
      inputs:
        targetType: 'inline'
        script: |
          short_hash=$(git rev-parse --short=7 HEAD)
          echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=git-hash;]$short_hash"

And I want to be able to inject this value into kubernetes as the GIT_HASH. Is there a way to do this?  I've tried using the qetza.replacetokens.replacetokens-task.replacetokens@3 but can't get it to work.

A: Posting comment as the community wiki answer for better visibility.

Have you considered using Helm or Kustomize to template your deployment manifests instead of relying on token replacement?

In assuming his father-in-law's name, the painter Pierre Drahonet, Alexandre-Jean Dubois became Dubois-Drahonet. As a result and despite a very different style, the paternity of certain of their works has been confused. The artist did his apprenticeship under Jean-Baptiste Regnault (Paris, 1754-1829), Professor at the School of Fine Arts who was considered the rival of Jacques-Louis David (Paris, 1748-Brussels, 1825). In the Salons of 1822, 1827, and 1831, Dubois-Drahonet met with great success in presenting portraits which had resulted from private commissions. They were very marked by the use of chiaroscuro inherited from the Empire and close to the work of his contemporary François Gérard (Rome, 1710-Paris, 1837).
His work relies on rigorous study of psychological expression. In his portraits, faces unveil a form of the sitter's introspection though powerful light contrasts which intensify the gaze and increase three-dimensionality.
After two disastrous pregnancies, Marie-Caroline of Bourbon Sicily, Duchess of Berry, finally gave birth to a long awaited child, Louise, Princess of Artois, on September 21st, 1819. Entitled "Granddaughter of France" at birth, she was raised in Elysée Palace, and then the Chateau of Rosny in the Yvelines with her younger brother Henri, the future Count of Chambord. Subsequently known as "Mademoiselle", she was given the title "Countess of Rosny" in 1830, the year our picture was created.
In his Memoirs from Beyond the Grave, François-René de Chateaubriand portrays the princess when she was 13 years old:
Mademoiselle reminds one of her father, her hair is blond. Her blue eyes have a fine expression: small for her age, she is not as formed as depicted in her portraits. Her very person is a mixture of child, young girl, princess: she looks, lowers her eyes, smiles with a naive coquetry mixed with artfulness. One doesn't know if one should tell her fairy stories, make a declaration or talk to her with respect as to a queen.
After a sumptuous full-length standing portrait of her mother in an interior which was presented at the Salon of 1827 and is conserved in the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris, and of which a version remains at the Château-Museum of Dieppe, the artist depicted the young princess at the beach of Dieppe three years later. The young girl's innocence at age 11 is illustrated through the white bathing costume characteristic of Romantic fashion in the 1830s. The dress, with puffed ("leg-of-mutton") sleeves definitively ending Empire style fashion, is of silk muslin over long drawers and stockings with embroidered scalloped edges clothing her small feet in their satin slippers elegantly tied around her ankles.
She poses proudly on Dieppe's famous shingle beach, the very first sea resort in France. It was made famous by her mother, known as "the intrepid swimmer," who had discovered the pleasures of bathing a few years earlier. In a completely new type of ceremony, she liked to go to the sea, while observed and applauded by thousands of people from Dieppe, who are depicted here in the background as if they were waiting for the little princess to bathe. Later, in 1847-1848, the opening of railroads between Paris and Le Havre, and Paris and Dieppe, contributed to the Parisian bourgeoisie craze for seaside vacations.
The first beach cabins, which the artist shows in the mid ground of our painting, appeared at this time. One changed one's attire in these mobile cabins and striped tents which were installed on carts pulled by horses to the edge of the water. Here behind the sitter can be detected a flight of their wooden steps. Elsewhere, the artist drew a few bathing clothes which he presented at the Salon of 1827: "A frame with sketches of costumes from Dieppe, among which is the bather of Her Royal Highness Madame," "Madame" being the title given the Duchess of Berry.
In our work, the artist freely expresses all the virtuosity of his brushwork in the unctuousness of fabrics and details. He excels in rendering materials, going so far as reproduce the fine reflections in the dress' white belt which becomes pinkish from the reflections of the nude flesh of the child's arm and the hat's pink bow. In several places, Dubois-Drahonet displays his skillful mastery of light through use of a charged brush which brings out reflections in clothing illuminated by a bright rift in the sky coming from her left. Thus the pink silk shines and the beige kid gloves seem as supple and melting as fresh butter.
Our picture was probably painted a few months before the forced abdication of Charles X, an event which obliged the young princess and her family to leave France. During those years of exile, Louise d'Artois lived and pursued her education between Holyrood Castle in Edinburg, the Royal Castle of Prague in Bohemia, and finally at Goritz in Austria where the king died in 1836. In 1845, she married the son of Charles II, who became Charles III, Duke of Parma in 1849, which made her the new Duchess of Parma.
The actual state of research on the artist does not make it possible to trace the original provenance of the work which does not appear in any of the Salon livrets. It probably was privately commissioned by the Duchess of Berry, carried into exile, and remained in Austria where the canvas survived in a private collection.
We would like to thank Mr. Ronald Pawly, who plans to include our picture in his forth-coming catalogue raisonné on the artist, for his valuable assistance.

Pokémon Go Update Available for iOS and Android
Hooray, pokefans! The Pokemon Go game has finally been released for Android and iOS. However, it's only available in certain countries.
It first became available in New Zealand and Australia and, a day later, it was released in the US as well. It hasn't been launched din Japan yet but The Pokemon Company stated that Japanese players will have to wait for a while.
There is no word so far regarding the release of the game app in other countries like Canada or the UK but let's keep our fingers crossed that it will arrive to them in no time.
Pokemon Go is an augmented reality game for mobiles and makes use of your device's sensors and camera combined with location based algorithms that enable it to place the pokemon creatures in reality. That means that as you travel to certain locations in the city, you can find and catch the adorable pokemon. On top of that, there are also specific places for training them known as gyms.
The company responsible for the game is Niantic and they have also created a very successful augmented reality game named Ingress before they ventured into pokemon territory. The game was created in collaboration with Nintendo.
Pokemon Go is a free game, but it does feature microtransations that cost up to $99.99 with the lowest microtransaction being $0.99. The game can also be played on a wearable that is scheduled for release sometime this month. The wearable allows you to play Pokemon Go without unlocking your phone.
Both The Pokemon Company and Nintendo said nothing about the game's release date until the E3 event held in June 2016. And, as soon as the beta testing for the game ended, on the 30th of June, they released the game only a few days later.

Xarelto MDL Bellwether Selection Underway
By: Laura Woods Xarelto
The process for determining which cases from the Xarelto multidistrict litigation in the Eastern District of Louisiana will be included in a bellwether discovery pool has been determined. U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon issued a case management order on Nov. 20 outlining the selection criteria. Both parties were initially tasked with preparing the pool of bellwether cases, but they failed to come to an agreement on selection criteria, so Judge Fallon was forced to devise his own plan.
In total, 40 cases will be chosen for the bellwether pool, with each side selecting 10 cases and an additional 20 cases chosen at random. Judge Fallon's plan indicates that half of the cases will have originated in the Eastern District of Louisiana, seven from any states chosen by the plaintiffs, seven from any states selected by the defendants, four from Mississippi federal court and two from Texas federal court. The only criteria for the seven states selected is that each have at least 20 eligible cases pending in the litigation.
Bellwether selection underway
Judge Fallon has set the next status conference for Dec. 21. In the meantime, he has ordered the parties to meet to set case selection eligibility criteria and map out case categories. They have also been ordered to devise a selection plan for the four cases that will be the first to go to trial. He has indicated this method should be in place by June 10, 2016, in preparation for the first trial dates that are expected to be scheduled between February and May 2017.
Currently, more than 2,800 Xarelto lawsuits have been consolidated under MDL 2592, which was established in Dec. 2014. Plaintiffs share common allegations that Bayer and Johnson & Johnson's Janssen subsidiary knew about bleeding risks linked to the drug, but failed to provide an adequate warning to patients and medical professionals.
The outcome of the Xarelto bellwether trials is not binding on other cases, but may help the parties to reach settlements. If not, each case will be remanded back to its original court for a separate trial.
About Xarelto
Xarelto is a prescription blood thinning medication, used to reduce the risk of blood clots after knee or hip replacement surgery, to lower the risk of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (not caused by a heart problem) and to treat pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis and help prevent a recurrence. The drug hit the market in 2011 — after receiving approval through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's priority review program, which offers an expedited review progress for innovative medications — making it the first oral anti-coagulant since warfarin was approved almost 60 years prior.
In 2014, the FDA rejected a bid from the drugmakers to expand the uses of Xarelto to include preventing new heart attacks and strokes, preventing the clogging of heart stents and death in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Johnson & Johnson conducted one clinical trial to justify the expanded label and the advisory panel ruled this did not provide enough evidence of its efficacy.

Applegate Farms, LLC Introduces the DO GOOD DOG™ Hot Dog, the First Nationally Available Hot Dog Sourced from Verified Regenerative U.S. Grasslands
Bridgewater, N.J.
The DO GOOD DOG™ hot dog furthers the company's mission to produce meat in ways that are good for people, animals and the planet
Applegate Farms, LLC, the nation's leading natural and organic meat brand, today announced the launch of the DO GOOD DOG™ hot dog, the first nationally available hot dog made with beef raised on verified regenerative U.S. grasslands. Beef for the DO GOOD DOG™ hot dog comes from SunFed Ranch® in Northern California and boasts the Savory Institute's Land to Market Seal, the world's first regenerative sourcing verification.
The DO GOOD DOG™ hot dog is Applegate's latest evolution of the humble hot dog and is an essential part of driving forward the company's mission: Changing The Meat We Eat®. Applegate reimagined the hot dog more than 15 years ago with APPLEGATE ORGANICS® THE GREAT ORGANIC HOT DOG™ hot dog, made with just four simple ingredients, 100% grass-fed beef, water, salt and spices. With the introduction of the DO GOOD DOG™ hot dog, the company has bold ambitions to take regenerative agriculture from niche to norm.
Until now, regeneratively sourced beef has mostly been available at farmers markets or high-end restaurants. Applegate's size and experience scaling specialized supply chains in the meat category aims to make regenerative agriculture familiar and accessible in the mass market. According to the Savory Institute, the cattle that supply the beef for the DO GOOD DOG™ hot dog are part of a system that is contributing to the regeneration of up to 260,000 acres of U.S. grasslands, making it one of the largest verified systems for regeneratively-sourced beef.
"It's fashionable to argue that the only way to fight climate change is to eliminate meat. In fact, the opposite is true," said John Ghingo, President of Applegate. "Animals have a vital role to play in restoring soil health, sequestering carbon and safeguarding the land against drought, wildfires, erosion and other devastating results of climate change. Our mission is to scale regenerative practices beyond small farms and niche markets. It's the only way to make a big enough impact."
With two out of three U.S. adults saying they eat meat frequently1 and cattle consistently spotlighted for their negative impact on the environment, there's a need to shift the way meat is produced to both meet demand and improve the planet. Applegate is starting with beef, where the evidence of positive animal impact is most clear, but the company is also at work to develop evidence-based regenerative practices for non-grazing animals and plans to grow its regeneratively-sourced product line to pork and poultry.
Applegate's commitment to support and market regeneratively sourced beef has helped SunFed Ranch double its grass fed cattle production, according to Matt Byrne, co-founder of SunFed Ranch, diverting cattle out of the commodity feedlot system and accelerating environmental benefits to its ranchlands. SunFed Ranch, which manages more than 1.5 million acres of U.S. grasslands both directly and through its ranching partners, is committed, across all on-ranch operations, to being 100% carbon neutral, from production to product, by 2024 and fully carbon negative by the end of 2027.
"We are thrilled to join Applegate in taking a leadership position to make regenerative, 100% grass fed beef that is better for the planet and healthier for families more widely available," said Byrne. "Applegate's commitment accelerates our shared mission to move the beef industry away from the commodity, corn-based feedlot system as we continue to scale one of the largest pastured cattle ranching environments in the country. We're proud to partner with Applegate on this innovative product and facilitate the regeneration of the land we are fortunate enough to have in our care."
Applegate's contribution to regenerating U.S. grasslands and healthy soil is being measured by the Savory Institute, a pioneer in regenerative agriculture. Baseline measurements of soil health, biodiversity, water retention and other ecosystem services were taken in Spring 2021 and will be revisited annually to assess progress. This is a hallmark of the Land to Market seal, which does not set standards, but measures outcomes, ensuring that a ranch is making continuous improvements to the land.
"While Land to Market verifies outcomes rather than practices, we find that those that implement Holistic Management and planned grazing double their likelihood of improving land health. We are big believers in the old adage that what gets measured gets managed and that measurement is actually a function of optimization," said Chris Kerston, chief commercial officer of the Land to Market Program at the Savory Institute. "By working closely with SunFed Ranch and Applegate, we can quantify environmental improvement and the ranchers can optimize their management to maximize those results ongoingly. This approach has the adaptability and scalability to drive the entire global meat industry forward."
The new DO GOOD DOG™ hot dog is available now at select major retailers and on Amazon with an SRP of $6.99. It is gluten free, a good source of protein2 and contains no added sugar.

Secondly, thank God all of us in the UK survived the week of the St.Jude storm! It was no surprise that Britain couldn't cope and the transport network fell to pieces... quite surreal for what was a pretty sunny day at my offices in West London!
Carving works of art from poor little pumpkins and feeling pretty pleased with the results! Weirdly we've never ever carved a pumpkin! Not as baby Mice and not once in the intervening years... For some reason despite the fact that us Mice usually always get involved in every other celebration or opportunity for fancy dress, Halloween just hasn't been one of them. This may have something to do with Daddy Mouse deeming it a waste of time, but this still doesn't stop him putting on a witch hat and hairy moster gloves to scare the local children trick or treating at the front door!
A little while back we applied to be part of the #AccessAllASOS club and have been waiting with baited breathe ever since in the hope that we'd be granted access to this insider hub of amazingness! Well we're happy to report that at the end of last week we received this uber cute boxful of goodies and a handwritten note from ASOS to let us know WE'D MADE IT!
So in short we will now be given exclusive behind the scenes access to all new collections and will be invited to lots of exciting events! Sounds good for us but how do you benefit? Well we promise to share this news with you first and foremost – pinky promise! AND the second part of the good news is it's not just for bloggers but for all loyal fans of the online store. ASOS wants to reward the style-obsessed who genuinely love the brand with the hope that that you'll also spread that love far and wide. 2013 applications are now closed, but if you're keen to get in on the action, you can apply here for 2014. The only rules are you need to be over 16 and a UK resident. GO GO GO!
Furiously getting our work done and freeing up our social schedules for the arrival of HK Mouse. She's jetting back for work and of course making as much time possible for some Mice fun!
As always the schedule is jam packed so hopefully some glowing reviews will be winging their way to your screen soon! We've got champagne brunches, new hotel bars, a dinner with a twist, trusty fav 10 Greek Street and one we're pretty intrigued about - a bar where we'll be swapping a china dog for membership and entry!
In the spirit of fully embracing sister time together, we've decided to take a well earned week's break from the blog. We'll be back with a bang on Monday 11th November when we'll be sharing all our adventures with you!

Ahmedabad: Ahmedabad-based Abellon CleanEnergy Ltd and Mumbai-based A2Z Maintenance will build two green power projects in the city by using urban waste for generating electricity.
The plants would get urban waste from Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and take about two years to complete the project. The corporation will also provide land at a concessional rate and earn an annual fee from the private companies. AMC plans to set up four such power projects that would together generate 15-20MW in the city.
Tanzanian company DB Shapriya & Co will construct one plant for A2Z Maintenance, an official email said. Abellon CleanEnergy did not respond to ET's email. Responding to an email query, Kishore Shapriya, chairman of DB Shapriya said "Yes, once the necessary clearances are at places, the construction activities will soon commence at Ahmedabad."
AMC commissioner Guruprasad Mohapatra said the city generates 4,000 metric tonne urban waste daily. The plants will have an initial power generation capacity of 15-20 mega watts each and AMC has allocated 2,500 metric tonne to each of them. As per an estimate, 1,000 tonnes of waste is equivalent to 100 truck loads.
DB Shapriya's India-based statutory auditor, Tejas Chokshi said "We will use international construction standards to reduce maintenance and downtime as well as due increase life of the assets (plant)."
According to the sources, estimated cost for setting up 2.5 MW would be Rs 25 crore, as standard cost for setting up 1MW is Rs 10 crore. The municipality has plans to set up four such power projects that would in total generate 15MW to 20MW from the waste collected in Ahmedabad city.
