Mark walked us through a framework, coined by enMasse to successfully get through this process. The acronym "UCOPEA" was used and defined as follows.
Usually change brings a number of responses from avoidance, to emotional responses (such as fear, anger, numbness) to problem focused. The key is to name the feeling. Until it is identified and further thought given to why individuals are feeling this way it is difficult to move forward.
A key is to determine what we can and can't control. For example, we can't control the change but we can control our response, the information we could gain to help us deal with the change, our apporach in the way we question aspects of the change or ultimately if we want to stay with the organisation.
1. The Learning Lens – What can I learn from this interaction/situation?
2. The Gratitude/Optimism Lens – What am I grateful for?
3. The Empathy Lens – How is it for the client or my colleague in this situation?
4. The Responsibility Lens – What part of this situation/interaction do I need to take responsibility for?
Many change antagonists have some deep feelings around a change and it is up to them and their manager to help them and continue to work on changing their thought responses to more productive ones. This, in affect, allows employees to turn the corner. Their negative thoughts become zapped and they move into more of an optimistic light in terms of how they adapt to the situation.
One thing leaders in an organisation can do to assist is have their team conquer "stress challenges". Once a smaller surpassable challenge is overcome, the team feels invigorated and confident. The leader can then help with the next bigger step change. Knowing and being confident they have overcome a smaller challenge gives the team the optimism that they can achieve again.
Problem solving looks at the outcome required, the strategy that will be employed and the actions needed to get there.
Once a challenge, change, or event has been addressed, it is important to look at what went well and why it worked and conversely what didn't work well.
When the team has achieved, confidence may be a positive outcome and openness to go again. However, be aware of relapse. We all know how long it takes to make something a habit. We need to beware of relapse and use repetition to continue to build our strength in responding to and managing change. It's vital the UCOPEA framework is resorted to again, particularly if there is slippage or relapse, to allow your team to continue going up the hill towards the pinnacle of change versus sliding back.
And… to get through change with energy left in the tank? Mark said if we all focus on our key character strengths and do not compromise, it brings out our best and enables us to get through the change while still feeling good. The University of Pennsylvania has a VIA test which is a "Character Strength Test" it lists 24 key characteristics of people and via survey you will learn your signature strengths. By playing to your signature strengths your ability to cope and thrive within a changing world will keep you mentally healthy throughout the exercise.

Navajo Council Angry: Navajo President slashes funds for elderly, children and green jobs
Navajo Council Speaker
Johnny Naize
President's Shelly's vetoes target green initiatives, resource development, young people and the elderly
By Navajo Council Speaker Johnny Naize
WINDOW ROCK Ariz. — The Navajo Nation Council voiced anger at Navajo President Shelly's line-item vetoes of portions of the FY2012 Tribal Operating Budget on Friday. Among the cuts in the $556.6 million budget included $111 thousand for the Little Folks Day Care Program, $161 thousand for five Navajo Area Agency on Aging offices in Shiprock, Chinle, Tuba City, Fort Defiance and Crownpoint, $352 thousand from the Navajo Green Commission, $130 thousand from the Resources Committee, and $838 thousand for legislative district staff for the 24 Council Delegates.
"The Council is very concerned for President Shelly's lack of cohesive management on the direction he wants to take the Navajo People," said Navajo Nation Council Speaker Johnny Naize. "The President says not to forget the elders but it appears he has. He has also said we need to nurture the youth because they are our future but instead has yanked funding that would do just that."
"Additionally, at a time when other governments are looking for ways to build a green economy to reduce waste and become environmentally aware, President Shelly has decided that the Navajo people will not."
"These vetoes were unnecessary after all the discussions we held in June between the three Branches and during the recent Budget Sessions which produced this budget," continued Naize. "I unfortunately believe the President has suddenly decided on himself to rewrite all the work the Branches have done during the past three months."
In the FY2012 operating budget, the Executive Branch was appropriated the bulk of the $556.6 million at a little more than $505 million for programs and set asides such as for Higher Education and Veterans. Next, the Legislative Branch was appropriated $16.6 million with the Judicial Branch receiving $15.4 million for their programs and set asides. Also included in the budget are $25.4 million for fixed costs and $4 million for chapter spending.
"These cuts are concerning because they appear to be made as a vendetta against certain programs, council members and committees," said Naize. "But in the process of doing that he vetoed funds for Summer Youth Employment, and an elderly group home in Blue Gap. Our people are in need and even though the President says his Branch provides direct services to the people, these vetoes prove they won't. That is not how a Natani leads his people."
Earlier this month President Shelley vetoed $2.2 million for Youth Employment, $286,000 for the Hoosh Doo Dii To' Home and $1 million for the Navajo Department of Transportation.
Also in these latest round of vetoes was funding for 24 Legislative District Staff for the 24 Council Delegates.
"In the past, the Legislative Branch has worked with a little more than 8 percent of the total Navajo Nation Operating Budget, said Navajo Nation Council Speaker Johnny Naize. "Not only do we need to remain at that level but we'll also need some additional funds to address the increased workload for the 24 Council Delegates."
At the district level there is a growing feeling of isolation as Council Delegates juggle up to 8 chapters and their work on their committees in Window Rock. The Legislative District Staff would assist the Delegates by attending meetings that otherwise may have been missed due to other commitments.
Although some thought a smaller Council would mean a smaller budget, the opposite has happened. The increase in Chapter representation has lead to an increase of meeting and on-reservation travel expenses. Speaker Naize and the Council are resolved in making sure the people don't lose their voice just because President Shelly wants to ration and silence the Delegates ability to serve community needs and concerns."
"Again, the Navajo People are becoming confused where President Shelly is taking us," concluded Naize. "All these programs are for the people yet he refuses to acknowledge the need out there. For the last couple of months he has held numerous town halls to get community input yet for all the people's efforts, he has decided to ignore them."
"I want the people to know that the Council will not ignore them and will continue to work and make sure the business of the people gets done no matter how President Shelly tries to silence them."

Cree George Poitras: Ottawa Tarsands Action Monday
OTTAWA TARSANDS ACTION – Why am I attending?
by George Poitras, former Chief, Mikisew Cree First Nation
In the past year and even more so in the past few weeks a lot of debate has focused on the tarsands in northeastern Alberta as "ethical oil." Advertisements taken out on the Oprah Winfrey Network by EthicalOil.org, why Oprah Winfrey has endorsed this propaganda by big oil is anyone's guess?! The advertisement suggests why should America be dependent on Saudi Arabian oil, "a state that doesn't allow women to drive, doesn't allow them to leave their homes or work without their male guardian's permission." That there is a better alternative, "Ethical oil from Canada's oil sands." Apparently meaning a more human alternative.
Names synonymous of this "ethical oil" notion include Alykhan Velshi, Ezra Levant.
Proponents who happily began to espouse the controversial two words include Canadian
politicians like environment minister Peter Kent and prime minister Stephen Harper as they
traverse the globe promoting investment in the tarsands.
The tarsands have been mined, primarily open-pit, for the past 40 years in what is known as the
traditional lands of many Treaty 6 and Treaty 8 First Nations. The total tarsands deposit, the size
of England, is known to be the second largest oil deposit in the world, second to Saudi Arabia.
Only 3% of the total deposit has been mined in the past 40 years and Dr. David Schindler, a
world renowned water expert, proved last year that there has been virtually no monitoring of
what has also been characterized the largest industrial project in the world. A claim that the
local Indigenous peoples have made for decades with proof of deformed fish, observation of
poor water quality, receding water levels, impacts to animal health, and more recently in Fort
Chipewyan, an increase in rare and aggressive cancers.
Tarsands a humane alternative?
When local physician Dr. John O'Connor raised concerns of disproportionate numbers of
unusual cancers in Fort Chipewyan in 2006, the government of Canada, or physicians from
the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch lodged complaints against him including a charge
of "causing undue alarm" to residents of my community of Fort Chipewyan. Canada's charges
against a family physician has never before been heard of in the history of Canada. For my
community of Fort Chipewyan, this unprecedented action by the government of Canada
essentially signalled to us that Canada didn't care what claims Dr. O'Connor was making or that
people in Fort Chipewyan might be living in a situation with an epidemic of rare and aggressive
cancers. The claims were eventually proven by an Alberta Cancer Board Study in 2009 because
of our unrelenting efforts; perhaps we shamed the Canadian and Alberta governments into doing
so by successfully making our concerns a part of the international debate of this "dirty oil"
campaign and not because the governments felt it was the "ethical" or "humane" thing to do.
Despite this, both the Alberta and Canadian governments continue to this day, to deny there is
any concern with cancers in Fort Chipewyan.
The governments of Alberta and Canada have for the past 15 years relied on the Regional
Aquatics Monitoring Program (RAMP) to monitor the Athabasca River and the fish health.
Every study since then has concluded that there was little to no impacts from tarsands
development on the water or the fish health. A position that was proven wrong by Dr. David
Schindler. Essentially, the RAMP which is 100% funded by the oil companies and who's data
is proprietary, and the Alberta and Canadian governments have been lying to the downstream
impacted communities but also to Albertans and Canadians. They both shamefully admitted this
following Schindler's study just days before Christmas in 2010.
Fishermen in Fort Chipewyan have been saving deformed, tumoured, discoloured, and other
problem fish for many years. Many residents in my community have chosen not to eat any fish
from the Athabasca River or Lake Athabasca, a sad commentary to impacts on a peoples way
of living. In June 1970, a Suncor pipeline break spilled 19,123 barrels of oil, roughly 3 million
liters, into the Athabasca River which reached Lake Athabasca. This shut down the fishing
industry on Lake Athabasca for two consecutive years. The fishermen held a press conference
in October 2010 in Edmonton, Alberta displaying many of the collection of problem fish. This
generated further international attention to the tarsands industry and its impacts to water and fish
Indigenous leaders in the downstream community of Fort Chipewyan have been chastised by
oil company executives when they speak publicly to the press about their concerns of impacts
from tarsands. They have gone so far as threatening, that should the Indigenous leaders continue,
there would be repercussions to their First Nation-owned company's contracts within certain oil
company sites. Oil company executives regularly question the Indigenous leaders when their
own community members speak out publicly on issues and I have seen those members silenced.
Two years ago I attended a protest in Trafalgar Square in London, England. We drew a crowd of
about 500 supporters and this protest generated so much publicity internationally by England's
BBC and Canada's CBC who were present and did live interviews. Three weeks after this
action which I dubbed the "bloody oil tour" an executive from a major oil company flew to
my community to meet with my Chief & Council and in no uncertain terms stated that they
didn't like that I traveled internationally and generated so much negative publicity on the
tarsands industry. They also stated that they knew of all my actions in the past years because
they said they had a binder "this thick" to prove it. He further suggested that somehow I should
be "silenced" or even "terminated" or there would be repercussions. Two weeks later, the First
Nation-owned company contracts worth millions were terminated displacing approximately 65
employees. I chose to leave my employment shortly thereafter.
An ethical, humane future for impacted communities?
In a recent trip to the Amazon and in conversation with a colleague from Nigeria, I told him
many of our issues, our concerns, the repercussions we receive for being vocal. He was in
complete disbelief. He said in a million years he would not believe all of this would occur in
Canada, a developed G8 country. He said Canada is known as a safe country for its citizens.
Canada is known as a country that prides itself for protection of human rights within its own
borders and beyond.
I also tell my fellow leaders in Fort Chipewyan and to those young, brave members of my
community, that the repercussions for speaking publicly is nothing compared to what we will see
in the future. That if only 3% of the total deposit has been mined and the environmental impacts
are so significant, that there will be many more generations of our people who will take up this
challenge and they will face much more backlash than what we are seeing today from what has
become a ruthless and aggressive race to exploit the tarsands.. That many of our people will
continue to see the early demise of their lives from rare and aggressive cancers the same way
we watched our youngest victim at the age of 28 succumb to his cancer just months after being
diagnosed. That if we see our environment in such a negative state today, do we think that we
are capable of handing down to future generations a healthy environment? That if Canada and
Alberta today ignore and repeatedly, knowingly infringe on our Constitutionally protected Treaty
Rights, will our future generations be able to meaningfully exercise their right to hunt, fish and
trap? Will our people in 20 years from now be able to enjoy a traditional diet of fish, moose,
ducks, geese, caribou?
While I do not condone any ill-treatment on women in Saudi Arabia, Indigenous peoples
in Canada's tarsands should not be a pawn or be sacrificed to allow certainty for Canada,
Alberta and multinational corporations to exploit the tarsands at all costs! From an Indigenous
perspective, watching and being victim to the 40 years of unrelenting, unfettered, unmonitored
development of the tarsands, there is nothing "ethical" or "humane" about the development of
the tarsands!
I will be in Ottawa on Monday, September 26th to oppose the approval of the Keystone XL
Pipeline because an approval means an expansion of production of tarsands by a million barrels a
day, further exacerbating local Indigenous peoples grave concerns about the development of the
tarsands.

Q: Protect a page with php sessions I have some pages in website that i want to protect with php sessions so only an administrator  with a valid password and login that match password and login in a mysql database  can have access to this pages .
here's the code for index.html ( the form of authentification )
<form id="form2" name="form2" method="post" action="authagent.php">

Authentification

    Login

    <input type="text" name="login" id="text" />

    Mot de passe

    <input type="password" name="mdp" id="mdp" />

     	<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Se connecter" />

Créer un nouveau compte

and this is the code of authagent.php
       <?php
session_start() ;
$_SESSION['connect']=0;
mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("agence");
$login = $_POST['login'];
$mdp = $_POST['mdp'] ;

$query = "SELECT * FROM agent where login_agent = '$login' and mdp_agent = '$mdp'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {

if ($login == $line['login_agent'] && ($mdp == $line['mdp_agent'])) // Si le nom d'utilisateur et le mot de passe sont correct
{
 $_SESSION['connect']=1;
          header('Location: agent.php');

}
else
{
echo 'incorrect' ;// Si le nom d'utilisateur ou le mot de passe est incorrect
}
}
?>

Here's the code of a secured page agent.php
 <?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['connect']))//On vérifie que le variable existe.
{
        $connect=$_SESSION['connect'];//On récupère la valeur de la variable de session.
}
else
{
        $connect=0;//Si $_SESSION['connect'] n'existe pas, on donne la valeur "0".
}

if ($connect == "1") // Si le visiteur s'est identifié.
{
              header('Location: agent.php');

// On affiche la page cachée.
}
else
{
                  header('Location: seconnecteragent.php');

    } ?>

A: Usually this is done by testing for the existence of a session variable like loggedin, and if it is not =1 then you automatically redirect to the login page. You can put this simple bit of code at the top of every page, and if the loggedin variable is there, nothing happens and the page is served normally. A basic example:
<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['loggedin']) || $_SESSION['loggedin']!=1){
    header('Location: login.php');
    exit();
}
?>

A: As I can see, your problem is that you have a recursion there. In agent.php page, if the user is authenticated, then you send him back to the same page agent.php.

Why You Should Buy Gold and Silver
For thousands of years, gold, silver and other precious metals have held their value. They have out-performed all other long-term investments. With the U.S. government debt approaching $20 trillion, the gold and silver price has been in an uptrend. Remember, gold has always been the best safe haven against inflation, government debt and unstable currencies.
In the 1940s you could have purchased a high-quality men's suit with a $20 bill or a $20 gold coin. Today, you still can buy a nice suit for a $20 gold coin, but a $20 bill would not even pay for the alterations. Inflating the value of our currency is built into the fabric of our society. Today it's easy to buy or sell gold and silver coins at a minimal transaction cost.
Many financial planners recommend 20-25% of your net worth be comprised of gold and silver coins that provide instant liquidity in a time of need. That means real gold and silver in your hand, not fiat paper money. Gold is a world currency, easily convertible into hundreds of currencies around the globe. Central banks of many of the largest countries store gold for their citizens' protection.
At Mint State Gold, we strongly recommend gold and silver ownership and provide all the information you need on how to get started.
Quality for Collectors and Investors
Mint State Gold, one of the top numismatic and precious metal dealerships in the U.S., has worked with thousands of investors and collectors who have enjoyed participating in the exciting precious metal and rare coin markets.

For analyzing information and ranking of banks, the combination of the fuzzy hierarchy process analysis method (FAHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) has been used. In the first stage, the importance of each of the financial indicators was obtained using Fuzzy AHP and Take advantage of MATLAB software. In the next step, using the TOPSIS method and applying SmartTopsis software, the banks were ranked. The results of the research indicate that the capital index is one of the most important factors in the ranking of banks, and banks that are not in a good position in terms of financial indicators should seek to strengthen their position by improving the status of financial indicators or merging with strategic partners and or larger banks.


Less than four minutes into the game, the Nelson senior found an opening around the right of the Kennedale defense, placing one in the back left side of the goal for a score. After Claire Hamilton tied the contest for Kennedale (20-6-1) in the 11th minute, Hall put Nelson ahead for good with a goal from near the center of the field.
Nelson brought the pressure early again in the second half. Junior Ansley Bunger tapped one in for a score after a battle for the ball near the goal left an empty net. That put Nelson up 3-1 in the 41st minute.
Four minutes later, Alexis Smith had an open look at the goal for Nelson, but her shot sailed high.
Shortly after that, Kennedale goalkeeper Skylar Crowley kept things close with a save on a strong shot by Nelson. But the Bobcats as a whole kept the Wildcats from mustering much penetration into Nelson territory.
Hall nearly clinched the hat trick in the 64th minute when she had a look close to the goal, missing off the right post. Less than two minutes later, Hall got another shot at the trifecta and connected.
Smith scored Nelson's final goal in the 74th minute.


Even the entry-level Audi Q7 SE looks plush. It doesn't have the sea of buttons you might expect for a complex car and the air vent that runs the length of the dashboard produces an air shower (Audi speak for a light breeze) that gently ventilates the interior. The Audi Q7's controls aren't as fiddly as the ones you'll find in the Volvo XC90, although it doesn't feel quite so decadent either.
SE cars come with two-tone leather seats and have expensive looking pieces of brushed aluminium trim. You can have the dashboard plastics, seats and headliner finished in a range of different colours including shades such as Pistachio Beige and Nougat Brown, although good-old-fashioned black leather is easier to keep clean (and arguably more tasteful to look at).
Sporty S line is the only other trim level available with the standard Audi Q7. To the entry-level SE it adds expensive feeling Alcantara seats with 'S line' embossed on the backrests. Super-soft Valcona leather is a £1,100 option that just isn't needed when the interior's already so nice.
Every Audi Q7 comes with Audi's top-of-the-range MMI Navigation Plus infotainment system that operates through a high-resolution 8.3-inch display that's sharp, pretty and has menus that are easy to navigate – even if they're not quite as logically laid out as the BMW X5's.
The car comes with a 36-month subscription to Audi Connect services that uses Google Maps for navigation. It looks great and the maps are really detailed. Inputing a postcode is easy via the scroll knob in between the two front seats and you also get a touchpad that lets you write in addresses with your finger, although its central location means it's easier to use if you're left-handed.
If neither of those options tickle your fancy, you can also circumvent the whole lot by using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto – both fitted as standard – which can mirror the screen of your smartphone.
Audi's brilliant Virtual Cockpit is a £1,695 option (as part of the Technology Pack), but it's well worth going for. It replaces the analogue instrument binnacle with a 12.3-inch digital screen that looks brilliant and is highly functional – its party piece is its huge map display that makes following the sat-nav's directions an absolute joy.
Much like the standard infotainment system, the Audi Q7's standard stereo is very good – it sports nine speakers, a subwoofer for extra bass, six channels and sound that'll be just fine if you rarely venture past midway on the volume knob.
Upgrades are available, though, and they start with the £1,100 Bose 3D Sound System, which has 19 speakers and a 558W output that sounds a good deal more potent than the basic setup.
If you want the full works however, you'll need the eye-wateringly expensive, £6,300 Bang & Olufsen 3D Advanced Sound System. It has 23 speakers and an earth-shuddering 1,920W output that can just about knock birds out of the sky.

EXTENDED Thru Dec 3 "In The Heights" (Porchlight Music Theatre): Community Anchored in Heart and Humor!
Porchlight Music Theatre presents the multi-Tony Award-winning IN THE HEIGHTS.
Community! This community is bursting with the loving ties of people joined together by their similarities as well as their differences. From the moment I sat down, I saw the community in the detailed streetscape by Scenic Designer Greg Pinsoneault. The two-level multiple-building structure showcases the struggling storefront businesses on the ground and the cozy residential nooks above them. The graffiti enhanced visual depicts NYC's Washington Heights in July 2008. We're immediately transported to this gritty neighborhood by Pinsoneault. His urban backdrop mirrors a small corner of life that many may walk quickly past without ever thinking about its inhabitants. Lin-Manual Miranda (creator, music, lyrics) and Quiara Alegria Hudes (book) will change all that. Through their heartfelt musical story, we will meet this tight-knit community that struggle with poverty, identity, and makeshift families in each person's quest for happiness.
Director Brenda Didier masterfully choreographs, along with Christopher Carter, a vivid salute to this Dominican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Mexican, Ecuadorian -American neighborhood. In the number "Carnaval Del Barrio", flags representing the various ethnic origins are orchestrated into the high-energy stepping. In "The Club", the talented ensemble sizzle with sultry latino dance moves. Throughout the show, break-dancing is even incorporated. The musical numbers are also dressed up in eclectic style by Costume Designer Kate Setzer Kamphausen. Her wardrobe choices enhance and define the individual personalities. From the homespun Isabel Quintero (Abuela Claudia) to the slinky Michelle Lauto (Michelle) to the full-on moxie of Missy Aguilar (Daniela), the clothes are a colorful storytelling tool.
IN THE HEIGHTS is all about the harmony between people. The diversity in the dancing and the songs represent the acculturation of different cultures living together in a new country. Under the skillful musical direction of Diana Lawrence, the songs establish home and heart. The charismatic Jack DeCesare (Usnavi) brings the hip hop. He kicks off the show by rhythmically introducing the routines of his neighbors. Later, his fast-talking prose inspires the community for change. The rapping puts a contemporary spin on the musical yet, Miranda's rich score is as diverse as the neighborhood. The lovers' ballads, "Sunrise" and "When the Sun Goes Down" are sung with lump-in-the-throat perfection by Stephen Allen (Benny) and Lucia Godinez (Nina). On the flip side, the sassy beauticians, Augilar, Lauto and Leah Davis (Carla) amusingly sing about the latest gossip. These gals cackle with hilarity. And nod out to the snarky sidekick Frankie Leo Bennett (Sonny) for nailing the one liners.
This community is brimming with character, aspirations and the weight of reality. They are struggling with the economic crisis. Within that dark hardship, their lives intertwine in a deep, vibrant tapestry of loving acceptance. I thoroughly enjoyed IN THE HEIGHTS. I misted up three times visiting this community anchored in heart and humor. Whether you can get HAMILTON tickets or not, you should get tickets to this original, award-winning Lin-Manual Miranda's musical. But better act quickly, performances keep selling out.

Sky Sports transfer guru says Palace would sell Zaha to Liverpool
Biscan's Boots
Crystal Palace would prefer to sell Wilfried Zaha to a club in the Champions League than Arsenal.
That's according to Sky Sports transfer honcho Kaveh Solhekol, who name-dropped us as one of the sides the Eagles would look to do business with ahead of Unai Emery's side.
There is no suggestion Liverpool are interested in the 27-year-old Ivorian, who has without question outgrown Selhurst Park and needs a move elsewhere.
"Wilfried Zaha is Unai Emery's number one target ever since Emery watched him play for Palace at the Emirates Stadium when Arsenal lost 3-2 to Palace in April," Solhekol told the Transfer Talk podcast.
"We've been told that Emery is desperate to sign him.
"But of course it all comes down to making an offer that Crystal Palace are going to accept.
"I don't think Crystal Palace are under any pressure to sell him.
"They are saying 'look, he's our player, we would understand if he wanted to leave to go and play for a Champions League club, but Arsenal are not a Champions League club'.
"They wouldn't stand in his way if Barcelona or Real Madrid or PSG or Manchester City or Liverpool were trying to sign him."
While players like Zaha would jump at the chance of an Anfield switch, it doesn't look like Liverpool are planning to take advantage of our financial and pulling position via the transfer market.
If we were to bring in a marquee signing, it would have already been done.
Instead, it looks like we'll start the season with the same squad that won the Champions League and earned 97 points in the Premier League – which when you put it like that – is understandable.
Hopefully the likes of Rhian Brewster and Yasser Larouci will be able to properly replace Daniel Sturridge and Alberto Moreno, though – who were able deputies.

Synergy Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reports solid phase 3 trial data for plecanatide.
What: Shares in Synergy Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SGYP) jumped by over 40% earlier today after the company announced positive late stage trial results for plecanatide as a treatment of patients with chronic ideopathic constipation, or CIC.
So What: Synergy Pharmaceuticals' phase 3 preliminary trial results show that plecanatide was statistically significantly better than placebo at treating patients with CIC.
Patients participating in the trial were randomized to receive either a 3 mg or 6 mg dose of plecanatide, taken orally once-daily, or placebo, for 12-weeks. Overall, 1,346 adult patients participated in the study, 80.8% of whom were women.
Now What: The trial is the first of two phase 3 trials that investors will get data from this year, and Synergy Pharmaceuticals expects to announce results from the second trial in the third quarter. If results in the second trial confirm findings in the first trial, then Synergy Pharmaceuticals expects to file for FDA approval before the end of this year.
That timeline suggests that an FDA decision regarding plecanatide could come in 2016, and, if approved, Synergy Pharmaceuticals could find that there's significant demand for plecanatide.
According to the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, 63 million Americans are affected by chronic constipation, and that large patient population has resulted in commercial success for Ironwood Pharmaceuticals' Linzess, a leading therapy used to treat CIC that won FDA approval in 2012 and generated U.S. sales of $95 million in the first quarter, up 57% year-over-year.
Overall 20% of Linzess patients experience diarrhea, which is far greater than the 5.9% and 5.5% incidence rates reported in patients taking the 3 mg or 6 mg dose of plecanatide, respectively. That advantage could suggest that plecanatide has a chance at winning away significant market share from Linzess, if it gets approved.
However, before investors get too excited, they should remember that Synergy Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage company without any products on the market or revenue. Also, investors need to remember that there's no guarantee that an FDA approval would be granted, even if the second trial succeeds, and Synergy Pharmaceuticals is saddled with more debt than cash on its books. For those reasons, I'm unwilling to chase this one higher on today's spike and will wait on the sidelines for now.

Japan space tourist eyes Mariana Trench trip after ISS
Tomohiro OSAKI
Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa spent 12 days aboard the International Space Station (AFP/Philip FONG)
Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa said Friday his trip into space had given him a new appreciation for Earth, and he now hopes to plunge into the ocean's forbidding Mariana Trench.
Maezawa and his assistant Yozo Hirano spent 12 days on the International Space Station last month, where they documented life in space for one million YouTube subscribers.
Speaking Friday for the first time since his return to Japan, Maezawa said the voyage had made him appreciate home even more.
"Going to space makes you even more fascinated about the Earth. You learn to appreciate how you feel the wind, smell things and experience the seasons," he told a press conference in Tokyo.
"I thought: the Earth is amazing."
While in space, he produced a string of videos including demonstrations on how to urinate, shampoo hair and brush teeth in space.
On Friday, he explained some of the difficulties of life in zero gravity, including sleeping.
"It's not so easy to fall asleep, because you're constantly floating while asleep –- there is nothing to anchor your body."
The art collector also revealed he had taken a small piece by a Japanese artist with him to the ISS, and had left it behind for others to enjoy.
The ISS trip was only the first of the 46-year-old's planned space forays.
He is already scheduled to take eight people on a 2023 mission around the moon, operated by Elon Musk's SpaceX.
But he said he has another exploration in mind now as well.
"Not only to go to the Moon, not just to travel upwards but also downwards is another dream of mine," he said.
"I am thinking about going down to the Mariana Trench, deep under the ocean," he said.
The Mariana Trench is the deepest place on Earth and has rarely been visited by humans.
"I want to keep taking on challenges," Maezawa added.
He said some elements of the planned trip, including the submarine he will use and how long the expedition will take, have already been decided, but declined to reveal details.
Maezawa's space odyssey, which is believed to have cost around 10 billion yen ($86 million), has attracted some controversy, with detractors calling it a "hedonistic hobby" by the mega-rich founder of Japan's largest online fashion mall.
Others though have credited his relatable approach and social media-savvy with renewing public interest in space flights.
Maezawa has brushed aside the criticism.
"When you take on challenges, of course you will sometimes be criticised and sometimes fail. There may be some people who get scared and quit," he said.
"As for me, I am not always successful. I don't make all my dreams come true. But I still believe it's fun to take on challenges."

Schlumberger expects 'supercycle' as demand lifts profit above forecast
Schlumberger beat expectations with a rise in fourth-quarter profit on Friday as higher crude and natural gas prices drove demand for the world's largest oilfield services company. The global rig count was 1,563 at the end of the fourth quarter, up around 42% from a year ago, Baker Hughes data shows. "Absent any further COVID-related disruption, oil demand is expected to exceed pre-pandemic levels before the end of the year and to further strengthen in 2023," Schlumberger Chief Executive Olivier Le Peuch said.
US lawmakers advance Big Tech competition bill
A US Senate panel endorsed legislation Thursday that would block tech giants from prioritizing their products over those of smaller rivals, a potentially major reform that will face a tough fight in Congress.
Commerzbank on Friday said its fourth-quarter earnings would be impacted by provisions made at its Polish mBank subsidiary but that it would still post a net profit for the full year. The German lender said mBank had made provisions regarding the foreign currency indexed loan agreements in the amount of 2.006 billion zloty ($504 million), adding that its fourth-quarter results would be impacted by a corresponding amount. The additional sum, which translates to around 436 million euros, brings provisions for Germany's No. 2 bank to around 600 million euros.
Goldman, PwC and KPMG lead City's return to the office after Plan B scrapped
Inner London businesses are set for "bounce back" Monday next week as thousands of city workers return to the office. Banks, accountants and other professional services companies with major presences in the city have all told staff to return to the office next week after the government said on Wednesday that work from home guidance introduced in December would be scrapped. Goldman Sachs, Citi, PwC, HSBC, KPMG, Fidelity and Standard Chartered are among the major employers to have encouraged staff back to the office in recent days.
Most and least affordable places in Britain for first-time home buyers revealed

Workspace says customer demand robust despite Omicron impact
Office space providers including Workspace are limping back to recovery after being forced to realign their business models and strategies as tenants increasingly weigh in remote and hybrid working options or downsize spaces in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic. Companies exposed to office properties were pegged back further when the rapid spread of the Omicron variant brought back restrictions in several parts of the world. Workspace said utilisation, which calculates the physical usage of the office spaces by the tenants, has picked up in the first two weeks of January and is now at 43% of pre-pandemic levels, compared with 55% in November.
German govt to cut 2022 growth forecast to 3.6% - draft
BERLIN (Reuters) -The German government will cut its economic growth forecast for this year to 3.6% from its October estimate of 4.1%, according to a draft of the annual economic report seen by Reuters on Friday. The coalition government of Social Democrats, Greens and Liberals, in power since December, expects the pandemic to further strain businesses and supply bottlenecks for products such as semiconductors to persist, further limiting companies' growth, according to the draft. Most economists expect Europe's largest economy to shrink again in the first three months of 2022 after a fourth-quarter contraction, driving it into another technical recession, defined as two consecutive quarters of declining output.

The Prowler (1981)
Director: Joseph Zito
X | 1h 29min | Horror, Slasher
In the realms of slasher exploitation, The Prowler begins rather curiously. The Italian giallo's bastard offspring represented a generational shift in terms of what was acceptable as entertainment on British and American shores. Horror fans will be aware of the outrage the sub-genre caused at its apotheosis and the almost puritanical reaction of parents worried about their children's mental health. In the US, 'The Satanic Panic' took precedence, kick-started by William Friedkin's The Exorcist and landing in the lap of heavy metal music by way of some real-life, ritualistic serial killers — most notably the uncaptured 'Zodiac Killer', later brought to the silver screen in a series of fact-based American thrillers. At the turn of the 80s, just as the soon-to-be-infamous slasher was beginning to take off, an increase in highly publicised violent acts, including the assassination of former Beatles star John Lennon, led to a Motion Picture Association of America crackdown on creative violence.
In the UK, it was the 'video nasty' scandal that caught fire, a tabloid-driven crusade against independent filmmakers that saw 72 movies banned under the 1984 Video Recordings Act. Such widespread moral panic was pounced upon by a Conservative government looking to win favour during a time of economic and social upheaval, and for a while society closed the book on the kind of cynical violence that teenagers devoured in their droves, but that didn't stop them from seeking out those fabled uncut versions.
Such movies took on an almost mythical status, whispered in playgrounds and rented under the counter in grubby VHS stores across the UK, establishments that were raided on a regular basis in what was a blatant attack on civil liberties. 'Nasties' such as the infamous Faces of Death, a 'snuff' movie that supposedly featured real-life acts of murder (in reality, most were staged, other scenes consisting of footage culled from accidents that had resulted in death), were absolutely shocking to audiences who'd been weaned on the Gothic and supernatural horror of yesteryear, particularly the slasher, which replaced the likes of Dracula and Frankenstein with suburban madmen that were much closer to home, channelling the energy of real-life serial killers during the phenomenon's peak years. Movies are almost always a reflection of reality, but slashers were viewed as cause and motivation for potential real-life killers to set up shop, something that's hard to refute.
In 1996, British serial killer and respected cinema manager Peter Howard Moore was sentenced to life in prison for the murder and mutilation of four young men. Dubbed the 'Man in Black', Moore was also found guilty of committing 39 sex attacks on men in North Wales and Merseyside over a 20-year period. When questioned by police, the deranged killer spoke of an accomplice named Jason. Only later did the authorities realise that he was referring to fictional serial killer Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th movies. It became clear that Moore was obsessed with the slasher sub-genre, living out fantasies based on those movies, heinous acts that he admitted to doing "for fun". The slasher may have been harmless fun for the most part, but for those with barely contained psychotic tendencies, they were a source of inspiration.
Despite being rough around the edges, The Prowler is certainly one of the nastier efforts to come out of what fans lovingly refer to as the slasher's golden age, and it's all in the visuals. The film has a dreamy, almost woozy aesthetic that juxtaposes beautifully with sobering acts of explicit violence. It can be truly hypnotic at times. It also suffers from some pretty notable pacing issues, even with a scant running time of just 89 minutes, but for pure, unabashed gore it's hard to top. In fact, if any slasher is deserving of the 'video nasty' label, it's The Prowler, at least in its full, uncut form, which we're now able to enjoy without fear of moral persecution. It's right up there with Tony Maylam's summer camp splatterfest The Burning and George Mihalka's similarly dead-eyed My Bloody Valentine, movies which capture the era in all of its brutal glory.
Of those movies, only The Burning made the video nasty grade. All three were released in 1981, arguably the slasher's immoral peak content-wise, but The Prowler and My Bloody Valentine managed to to wash-up on the bloody shores of UK rentals while The Burning drowned in the shallow waters of censorship ignominy. The reasons for this were simple. Though all three movies were heavily cut for theatrical distribution, VHS distributor Thorn EMI accidentally released an uncut version of The Burning in Britain without the British Board of Film Classification's approval. They later attempted to release a BBFC approved cut, but relationships were strained. Punishment had to be served.
As with any government-imposed crusade, hypocrisy and petulance are par for the course, so The Burning wasn't the only film to suffer such a fate. Trawling through some of those movies that did attain 'video nasty' infamy, it's easy to deduce that much of that list was selected on a whim, the act of retribution more important than the details. Famously, the Friday the 13th series would later use working titles based on David Bowie songs in order to dodge the beady eyes of the censors, who were known to target films based on titles alone. The fact that censorship proponent, Mary Whitehouse, who would label Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead 'the number one 'video nasty' after exerts were screened in a special parliamentary session, later admitted to having never seen the film, speaks volumes. Ultimately, it was a case of the old guard fearing the new, an unwillingness to accept the changing times and tastes of the emerging generation. It's a story as old as time.
Fittingly, The Prowler begins way back in 1945 with a public service announcement that welcomes home brave American soldiers returning from the battle-torn trenches of the Second World War. The film warns that it may take some time for loved ones to re-adapt to society, and when we suddenly cut to a narrated love letter in which a young girl named Rosemary informs her dear, departed soldier that she's no longer willing to wait for him, the typical slasher set-up is revealed, director Joseph Zito's intentions laid bare (an alternate title for The Prowler was the more literal and wholly less marketable Rosemary's Killer). It's a fresh and intriguing (if wholly superficial) opening that seems to recall the Uncle Sam ethics of a generation entrenched in 'video nasty' outrage.
Beyond this quasi-insightful quirk, The Prowler is typical slasher fare. In fact, it's rather underwhelming from a storytelling standpoint, even for a genre renown for being so rigidly formulaic, with characters who peruse a broken screenplay that plays out as if someone dropped the pages and hastily shuffled them back together. All the tropes are there ― an emotional trigger, a seemingly indomitable masked killer, a cast of archetypal teen victims and a softly lit, American-as-apple-pie final girl who will ultimately outwit our soon-to-be-unveiled menace ― but none of them are particularly remarkable. It's textbook stuff that just happened to arrive during the sub-genre's alluring peak. Not that slasher fans will care. Those who bask in the sub-genre's dead-eyed cynicism aren't looking for originality or even technical competence for the most part. The beauty is in the execution, quite literally, an area where The Prowler excels and then some.
The Prowler, in its modern, uncut form, is unashamedly graphic. It delights in the icky details and relishes in its ability to push the visual boundaries. Despite a relatively low-output career, director Joseph Zito would leave quite the impression on the cult market, climbing aboard the Golan-Globus freight train to front exploitative Cannon classics Missing In Action and Invasion U.S.A., the latter causing quite the stir thanks to its reliance on gratuitous violence and casual xenophobia. The Prowler's eponymous killer, daubed in military garb and carrying a pitchfork and bayonet, is reminiscent of the kind of action character Zito would later forge, with a few lock-and-load shots and a couple of firearms thrown in for good measure. The series of murders committed by his hand are some of the most brutal and ingenious I have personally ever witnessed. Even by today's standards they're utterly convincing, more hands-on and tangible than anything achievable using CGI. At times it's like watching a magician at work.
It may come as no surprise that the man responsible was practical effects icon Tom Savini, who used his experience as a former Vietnam War photographer to bring the horrors of conflict to the silver screen. Savini, who first came to prominence after bagging a Best Make-Up Effects nomination for his work on George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead at the 7th annual Saturn Awards, would soon become synonymous with the slasher sub-genre, working on such classics as Friday the 13th, Eyes of a Stranger, The Burning and Alone in the Dark. He would also lend his inimitable skills to various other sub-genres, working on such practical effects wonders as Creepshow, Day of the Dead and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, but even with such an astonishing resume, Savini would cite The Prowler as some of his best work, and he proves the absolute lifeblood of a movie that meanders through uneven spells like a POV presence begging to be let off the leash.
The Prowler, drenched in the kind of aesthetic realism that had parent groups reaching for the flaming torches, is caked in so much blood you'll feel like you've been to an all-night Blade-style rave hosted by Lucio Fulci at his most shamelessly exhibitionist. Interestingly, it was Savini himself inside the killer's costume as he set about executing his gallery of prosthetic slaughter, which speaks to his dedication as an artist and importance to this movie and the genre as a whole. Assistant director Peter Giuliano also chipped in for scenes in which our killer stalks the corridors of a college campus, though the character's third portrayer I'll keep a secret for fear of giving away just a little too much.
Shooting The Prowler's makeup effects was a long, laborious process, meaning the schedule had to be built around them, and it shows. The film is mercifully short-lived and wastes little time on the Nouvelle hors d'oeuvres, slapping us in the face with a bloody T-bone, even if waiting times for some courses do threaten to turn us cold. Savini's work on The Prowler was enough to bag him and Zito what was initially supposed to be the final Friday the 13th instalment. Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter, which many credit as the finest, most brutal entry, saw Savini return to the series for the first time since the original. This pleased him no end, despite the fact that his omission from Friday the 13th Parts 2 and 3 always stuck in his craw. Not only had he given birth to Jason back in 1980, he would get to kill him for what was (supposed to be) the last time. Again, the movie would prove some of his finest work, and despite never reaching the heights of contemporaries such as the Oscar-winning Rick Baker, in horror circles he breathes the same air.
Despite featuring a killer who lacks the franchise-spinning lore of Jason Voorhees, an inferior cast, flawed structure and pacing, and, perhaps most crucially, a truly memorable final girl, The Prowler more than earns its reputation as one of the most infamous entries of the slasher's golden age. Ultimately, it's about the thrill and execution of the kill; nothing more, nothing less, and thanks to Savini's dedication and morally questionable brand of magic, the film conjures the kind of startling images rarely glimpsed in such a cheapskate sub-genre. In the end, it comes down to a simple question: do you get a thrill from watching teenagers put so mercilessly to the slaughter? If the answer is No, you'll hate this movie. If the answer is Yes, in The Prowler you have one of the most effective the sub-genre has to offer.
Digging the Weeds
Fans of gore are really spoilt for choice in the kill department. Savini is a master practitioner who's always looking for innovative ways to shock and disgust, and there isn't a scene wasted with a series of kills that would each top the majority of lazily conceived cash-ins the genre would quickly become notorious for. If a poolside slaying offers bloody panache, then the mind-blowingly authentic bayonet through the brain is truly awe-inspiring.
Still, nothing beats an excruciatingly protracted incident with a pitchfork through the abdomen in a Psycho nod that lacks any semblance of subtlety. Not even an exploding head, which we also get.
So our eponymous killer's face is covered throughout, covered as in you can't see any part of his face, and barring some kind of x-ray abilities he shouldn't be able to see very much either, if anything at all.
It's a cool looking costume that's sure to put the willies up the gaggles of delectable teens wandering around campus, but if you're planning a mass killing spree in a heavily populated area, a little pragmatism goes a long way.
The scene is set. It's 1945 and a couple of merry youngsters abandon their homecoming dance for a bit of early 20th century smooching, the kind that isn't likely to win any Adult Video News awards, but what's this? A barely glimpsed killer drives a pitchfork through the two of them, creating a crude high school yearbook kebab. Of course, all inside are oblivious, a fact punctuated when the party's host takes to the mic and utters this immortal line:
Host: Hey, you alive out there?
A mercifully economic, golden age slasher that fulfils all your archetypal needs, is as transparently cynical as critics once decried. It may lack a truly memorable final girl, but for morally corrupt practical effects magic, this one is hard to top.

"That's the last time she'll ever ask for a towel", HA HA HE HE; that's my favorite kill in the film, real sharp and steamy. I had the pleasure of viewing "The Prowler" on YouTube a few years ago (20150maybe); it was a real clean upload, but to venture a guess it's been removed. No matter, it's my second favorite film Farley Granger is in (#1 is "Rope").
That shower death is excruciating. It looks so authentic. No wonder Savini cites it as his best work. Can't argue with Rope. Pure Hitchcockian mastery. I am partial to Strangers on a Train however.
Oh yeah, "Strangers on a Train" also brings the good stuff. That concept has been redone (I'm thinging of a TV movie starring Linda Purl) and spoofed ("The Simpsons" and their criscross) so many times; it's been a part of our pop culture for so long, but the original treatment is the best. Hey, didn't Savini do the effects for "Maniac" as well? I think that film also has some good artistic gore.
