Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 3% of adult malignancies and more than 90% of kidney neoplasms. High rates of undiagnostic percutaneous kidney biopsies and difficulties in reliable pre-operative differentiation between malignant and benign renal tumors using contemporary imaging techniques result in large numbers of redundant surgeries. Absence of specific biomarkers for early detection and monitoring complicates on-time diagnosis of the disease and relapse. For the patients followed up after having a nephrectomy, a noninvasive and sensitive biomarker enabling early detection of disease relapse would be extremely useful.
The study is a review of recent knowledge regarding potential clinical applications of microRNAs (miRNAs) as biomarkers of RCC.
MicroRNAs are essential regulators of various processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, development and death; they have been implicated in diverse biological and pathological processes in RCC. There is a class of miRNAs that promote RCC development (oncomirs) and a class of miRNAs that negatively regulate oncogenes, suppress tumor growth and invasion, and thus could be considered treatment agents (anti-oncomirs). Separate miRNAs and specific miRNAs expression profiles have been identified, enabling early detection of the disease, prediction of response to systemic therapy, or prognostication of biological behavior of the disease.
The miRNA network analysis and gene profiling may help to identify the most sensible molecular signatures of RCC that can be used for diagnostic purposes, as well as poor prognosis signatures and poor therapeutic response signatures in patients who undergo systemic therapy.

Zing On! What's With Blokes and Their Zinger Boxes?
Ben McKimm, 21 Oct 2020 | Entertainment
The admiration for a moment spent with a greasy box is something many Aussie blokes can relate to. We've all been there, a couple of sugarcane champagnes and it all starts to get a bit fuzzy, but there's one thing on your mind. You just can't get the taste out of your head, you turn to your non-bloke and whisper "Its time to Zing-On". Next thing you know, you're getting all hot and flustered at the thought of a night spent with something special. If that "thing" isn't a KFC Zinger Box maybe this isn't the article for you, so Zing Off you non-greasy box loving cowards.
If you're wondering what the go is with this 'Zing On' nonsense, we've got you covered. We had a chance to have a couple of words with Blokes and their Zinger Boxes own Rhys 'The Zinger Pope' Jones to get to the bottom of the colonel's gospel and understand what's really going on.

What is Blokes and their Zinger Boxes?
If you haven't had your head stuffed in a Zinger Box for the last six months, you've probably seen the 'Zing On' movement started by the page 'Blokes and their Zinger Boxes'. To say the movement has captured the nation by storm would be an understatement, the love for the greasy box has found its way into the hearts of lads across the nation and united KFC punters from all walks of life.
"I think every legend in this world has long appreciated the delectability of the Zinger Box," page admin Rhys 'The Zinger Pope' Jones tells Man of Many. "Lovers of the colonel decided to bring it into the spotlight and try to garner a community around the best burger box in Australia, and thankfully other like-minded blokes followed suit. The page became a haven for all things KFC, spicy memes, and banter."
Why Has It Become So Popular?
The page started to gain traction around June, at the peak of COVID-19 in Australia. The page has created a space for blokes to share and laugh over the common good found within the succulent Zinger Box. In some ways, Blokes and their Zinger Boxes breaks the tradition of 'non-sharing' amongst Aussie men, if anything, a good laugh over Aussie humour is enough to put a smile on even the toughest bloke's face.
"I think blokes got behind the page because everybody has a good mentality about it," Jones says. "Most people are very welcoming and most of the time everyone is either cracking a joke or throwing a friendly roast around, but that's to be expected especially in Aussie culture. But the quality of the content in the page constantly revolves and we try to keep it as fresh as possible and work around the clock to remove anyone giving the page a bad reputation."
What's the Best Way to Zing?
Let's be clear, there's really no wrong way to have a Zinger Box, just the utterly mouth-watering smell alone should be enough to tell you that, and far out, just writing this is making us hungry. While there is no wrong answer, what the Pope says is usually gospel, so if you ever wondered what ideal Zinger Box looks like, here you are.
"My ideal Zinger Box is a Zinger Stacker with bacon, loaded with supercharged sauce, the long-discontinued crispy strips make a long-awaited return, a large chips with extra salt and a Pepsi Max," Jones says.
Can confirm; this is NOT one of the 11 herbs and spices… https://t.co/jewkvCdKnd

The Highlight of the Page So Far?
The page is home to some of the best memes and original content on the internet. The originality is outstanding and elevates the experience to a whole new level, much like asking for a nine-piece of The Colonel's finest and receiving ten by accident. Each and every post is rewarding, the comments are hilarious, laced with proper laugh out loud material that you can't wait to share with your mates. The page stays relevant as it doesn't discriminate, anyone can cop a roasting, and it's all for a good laugh. If you can't have a laugh at your own expense we wouldn't suggest posting, however, there's a small list of rules in place to keep the reigns on the blokes who probably don't belong in a such a community anyway.
As for the Zinger Popes favourite meme? He doesn't have a favourite, there are just too many bangers, however, he does have a least favourite. "I don't have a favourite all-time Zinger meme but my least favourite would be the "Zinger Pinger Jaw Swinger". After seeing that posted 100 times a day we had to put a permanent ban on it!"
Where Does the Page Go From Here?
The page has gained some serious attention over the last 6 months, however, members and admin are remaining humble throughout the whole process. Keeping the new members under control and steering the page in the right direction is not an easy task, and we think Rhys, Matt, Alex, Max, Daniel, William, Jake, and Ben are doing a bloody good job, Zing-On KFC Board of Director's bloke guys.
"To be honest the growth in the last couple of months has completely blown not only mine but the other page admins minds as well. We absolutely exploded after June this year and we are extremely thankful for everybody's love and support for the page. We love what we do and will continue to do our best to keep the page a fun community to be apart of," said Jones.
As for a reward for their hard work? An acknowledgment from KFC has been a big accomplishment, and now there's only one thing left to do.
"KFC officially has taken notice of us and our catchphrase of "Zing on" is becoming a pretty well-known term, so hopefully they fly us out to the original KFC restaurant one day and treat us to a feed in the colonel's first restaurant. I think that'd be a very fitting reward," said Jones.

I knew going into our renovation that a kitchen upgrade would make a significant and positive impact for our family.
I knew it, but I didn't feel it until I stood in this new space and just allowed it all to soak in.
When I let it all soak in—the space, the sunlight, the soft clunk-clunk of the ice-maker in our LG refrigerator dropping its cubes—I just feel happy. I'm happy to have this beautiful new kitchen after living so many years in a kitchen that felt dark and certainly wasn't functional.
To refresh you're memory, here is where we started and below that how far we've come.
I'm sure there were many more things that I missed on this list that my husband had to deal with behind the scenes!
My husband truly deserves some kind of large golden trophy for managing to make this space look and feel three times bigger.
Honestly, he also deserves an award for simply persevering through our kitchen renovation and weathering the hurricane of my constant anxiety.
The project took longer than what we had originally anticipated, but you know what? It happens.
Living like we were camping, not having proper sink and generally coping with a construction zone for weeks was a challenge, but it was worth it. My husband was always there to keep our spirits on track and his vision of this space is what kept me going.
"Just wait until this is all behind us and this room is beautiful," he said.
Of course, the cherries on top of our kitchen renovation are the appliances we received from LG.
Working with LG on this project has been a dream. I can honestly say that the brand/blogger relationship I've shared with LG throughout the duration of my renovation has been so wonderful, patient, and most of all, insightful.
LG's Director of Brand Marketing, David VanderWaal, even took some time to speak with me personally about each of the appliances we received.
I learned so many interesting facts about LG, LG products and also some fun consumer insights that were the driving force behind many of the features I love in my LG appliances.
We were able to choose appliances that fit our lifestyle, and the combination of functional innovation and beauty that each piece brings to our lives is just incredible.
Everything is easier for me now. From food organization and easy access in our LG Door-in-Door Refrigerator, to cooking and baking in my double oven range, to making a quick lunch in our over-the-range microwave and finally to giving our dishes and amazing clean in our new LG dishwasher with TrueSteam technology.
I'm going to be telling you more about each of our LG appliances in the coming weeks—it's really all too good to cram into one post—trust me!
Yes, I'm quoting LG's tagline here, but a new kitchen is a serious mood-lifter!
That cliché about the kitchen being the heart of the home—it's true… at least it is now. Our new kitchen is finally a space where our entire family can connect, cook together and play together. Life really is good.
I would love to know what you think of our before and after, and, how important a role does your kitchen play in your home? Is it a space you love?
This post is sponsored by LG. LG provided our new kitchen appliances and I could seriously hug them for it. Opinions, however, are genuine and as always, my own!
Your kitchen layout is similar to mine. Looks great though! Gives me some inspiration.
Your kitchen looks absolutely incredible! I kept going back and looking at the before and then the after pictures and I really can't believe the amount of huge changes you made. I hope you enjoy your kitchen (and your dishwasher! wooo!) for many, many years to come!
First off, that is OMG awesome! The difference in the before and after photo is just wow! I wouldn't even have thought it was the same SPACE! The before looked smaller, darker and not really "family-friendly." Yet, now it screams family-friendly and comfy! The kitchen really is the heart of the home. It is not only where the family eats, but also where homework is talked over, conversations kept, etc! Your kitchen is definitely going to be appreciated for many, many more years to come. And those appliances….Fabulous! They are not only gorgeous, but being LG, they are definitely high-quality! The double-oven has me literally drooling over here…haha…. The coordinate perfectly in that space and add to the overall wonderful look & feel. Enjoy it Crissy…You sooooooo deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a big change! I love how the room is much lighter and more open!
Looks INCREDIBLE! Congrats and enjoy it!
Very beautiful and bright. You guys did a great job.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an amazing job you and your hubby did. Way to go LG for supporting such a fabulous blogger!
Beautiful!! Congratulations on your beautiful new kitchen!!
Its beautiful Crissy! Feels great to have a nice too kitchen to cook and create things in. My kitchen in our house is what sold us on buying it last year. Totally makes a difference. Can't believe you didn't have a dishwasher before.
Love your floor and cabinet colors.
Wow! What a stunning transformation! I love it!
WOW. Just wow – it looks so gorgeous and amazing now! Love how bright it is now – and the space!
Thanks Whitney! Having more light is my favorite part of the new space!
Oh my gosh! It's so pretty! What a difference. I love the brightness and freshness. I'm sure your mornings start off even better with a shiny new place to start your day! Fantastic reno!
WOW WOW WOW! I am in love, especially with the stove. How amazing is THAT STOVE!?!
Your kitchen looks amazing! I love LG products.
Your new kitchen is beautiful…..so much lighter! The appliances are wonderful. I like the cabinets; looks like you have so much storage room.
Crissy, That is such an AMAZING difference. Your kitchen looks absolutely amazing!
Congrats on your new kitchen, it's lovely and so much more spacious!
I've been anxiously awaiting this post!!! Oh wow! It turned out amazing. It is so hard to believe that is the very same space! It is so much more open and inviting and bright! And I love all the cupboard space!
I love it! It is so bright and cozy.
Looks amazing!! So bright and fresh. You must be so happy to have that done. We have been renovating our kitchen for 4 years with no end in site LOL. I love the appliances and can't wait to learn more about them.
I think its important to like your kitchen because we spend a lot of time there and being happier in our environment can spread to the entire family. Your updated kitchen looks amazing, I bet you absolutely love it.
It is gorgeous what a fun makeover!!! Can't wait to see more :-)! We don't have a dishwasher either, and I get wanting to do one big makever rather then piece by piece, I think it is a lot more fun!
A lot of people live with the 'old' kitchen, but often dream of your new kitchen! The new one is beautiful! I'm sure many people would love to have ANY part of your new kitchen. I love that frig!!!!
Your remodel looks amazing and I love your video! I can't wait to hear all about the nitty gritty details, specially about the double oven from LG. That is my DREAM oven! Enjoy your new space.
Oh Crissy, it is absolutely gorgeous! I love how light and clean the new design is. And the LG appliances look amazing! What a dream!! You make me want to work on our kitchen!
It's beautiful! I too have an old outdated kitchen that needs a major overhaul (it's very small, 5×5 floor space, with metal Geneva cabinets that have been covered with contact paper…at least we got rid of the bright yellow metal trimmed countertops LOL)… so I can imagine how much you love your new kitchen!
Love the new kitchen space. What a difference, I'd wake up happy every day if I had that to look forward to! Question, you had a table in the "old" space, are you eating somewhere else now or was the "old" table not used. Just curious.
Beautiful! Congrats and enjoy your beautiful new kitchen!!
It looks amazing! So light and open, it came out fabulous Crissy.
I LOVE your kitchen! I'm totally jealous!! I really want a bright, open kitchen. This is just perfect!
The kitchen is the heart of the home–most important room for communication with the children.
Your new kitchen is absolutely gorgeous. I like the stainless steel appliances with this renovation and of course I just love the floor and the backsplash. All in all it looks amazing!!!
That is absolutely GORGEOUS and wow, your husband seriously is a miracle worker — how on Earth did he make that kitchen so much BIGGER!?!?
Love the new kitchen…soooo…when are you cooking for me?
WOWOWOW!!! That is gorgeous. What a difference! CONGRATS!
This is amazing! This has seriously inspired me and given me some fresh new ideas! Enjoy your new kitchen!
I'm in love with your new kitchen. It is so spacious. I know you and your family will have and share many memories in your new space for years to come. You all have such a great view now when doing dishes, love that window. We had all LG appliances in our last home, and I miss them terribly. LG is the appliance brand I tend to lean towards when buying new appliances. Can't wait to hear more about each of your new LG appliances.
Your before and after photos are AMAZING! What a difference it all makes in comfort, function and style. I am IN LOVE!! It's true, the kitchen is the heart of the home. No matter who's in the house and for what reason – everyone always ends up in the kitchen. Thats why I think it should be priority when it comes to home renos.
Your appliances? AWESOME!! We are in need of a fridge soon, food freezes on the top shelf and doesn't stay cold on the bottom. It's time! I have been looking at new ones this last month, and have it narrowed down and this one is one of them! I love the new features, and I cannot wait.
Maybe it comes back to the kitchen being the heart of the home, but I get giddy over new appliances. Really, my new fridge will be the highlight for sure.
Our kitchen is definitely the hub of our home. We can all come together over a shared meal or simple talk while standing in the kitchen. I am not sure why we tend to end up in the kitchen… but it works that way at my parents' house too.
Your kitchen looks amazing! It looks so much larger and I love the openness of it now. So bright and airy. Plus I am totally jealous of those LG Appliances. The double oven is perfect for baking and the refrigerator is ideal for families. Great job!
Bright & fresh looking — love it!

L'unité urbaine de Paris désigne selon l'Insee l'ensemble des communes ayant une continuité de bâti autour de la ville de Paris. Cette unité urbaine, ou agglomération dans le langage courant, regroupe  en  sur une superficie de 2 853,5 km². Elle est la plus peuplée de l'Union européenne et de l'Europe de l'Ouest.

Caractéristiques
Selon la délimitation effectuée par l'Insee en 2020, l'unité urbaine de Paris est composée de 411 communes, pour une superficie de , rassemblant  au recensement de 2020. Ces communes sont toutes situées en Île-de-France, la région dont Paris est le chef-lieu ; elles recouvrent intégralement les départements de la petite couronne :
 les 36 communes des Hauts-de-Seine (92) ;
 les 40 communes de la Seine-Saint-Denis (93) ;
 les 47 communes du Val-de-Marne (94),
et une partie de chacun de ceux de la grande couronne :
 54 des 514 communes de Seine-et-Marne (77) ;
 86 des 262 communes des Yvelines (78) ;
 81 des 195 communes de l'Essonne (91) ;
 66 des 185 communes du Val-d'Oise (95).

C'est de très loin l'unité urbaine française la plus peuplée devant celle de Lyon ( en 2020), ainsi que la première de l'Union européenne et d'Europe de l'Ouest, devant Londres. Le taux d'artificialisation du sol de cette unité urbaine s'accroît, du fait d'un choix résidentiel fait par certains ménages. L'élargissement continu des unités urbaines peut se caractériser par l'étalement urbain.

Son code Insee est 00851.

Dans le zonage de 2010, le nombre de communes était de 412. De 2010 à 2020, trois fusions de communes ont eu lieu, amenant ce nombre à 409. Ces fusions ont donné naissance aux communes nouvelles du Chesnay-Rocquencourt (fusion du Chesnay et de Rocquencourt) et de Saint-Germain-en-Laye (fusion de Fourqueux avec Saint-Germain-en-Laye, en gardant le nom de cette dernière) dans les Yvelines et d'Évry-Courcouronnes (fusion de Courcouronnes et d'Évry) en Essonne.

En 2020, un nouveau zonage est réalisé par l'Insee. Le nombre de communes est de 411. Deux communes (Aubergenville et Flins-sur-Seine) constituent désormais une unité urbaine à part, l'unité urbaine d'Aubergenville. Quatre communes sont ajoutées au périmètre : Boissise-la-Bertrand (77039) et Serris (77449) en Seine-et-Marne, Saint-Germain-de-la-Grange (78550) dans les Yvelines et Ennery (95211) dans le Val-d'Oise.

Intercommunalités
La notion d'unité urbaine, telle que définie par l'Insee, est indépendante du regroupement des communes en établissements publics de coopération intercommunale. Cependant, à la suite de la loi MAPAM, adoptée en 2014, la métropole du Grand Paris est entrée en vigueur le  et le préfet de la région Île-de-France a supervisé l'élaboration d'une nouvelle carte des intercommunalités pour créer de nouveaux ensembles de plus de  dans l'unité urbaine, hors métropole. Le Schéma régional de coopération intercommunale est entré en vigueur le .

Can younger workers be hard to deal with? Sure, but there's a reason for that.
Millennials, the largest generation in United States history, have been given a bombastic, terrible name and, courtesy of their parents, a reputation as the workplace malcontents. The self-serving Baby Boomer criticism of "kids these days" has become so common that it's basically a genre of its own. Those born between 1980 and 2000 make up an estimated one-third of the total U.S. population and, to hear their elders tell it, receive too many trophies and blue ribbons, which is why they are entitled and mopey. Unlike their boomer parents (who apparently invented music, equality, and San Francisco), young people just don't get that nebulous it that is the happy pursuit of an American Dream.
Yes, there are cultural issues that may exacerbate the divide between the olds and the youngs, but there are also numbers. And they tell a very different story about a generation trying to find its way.
The millennial economic experience can't be branded by personality deficiencies — it all comes back to hard, cold numbers.
About half of the millennial generation is currently aged 25 to 35, meaning that they're increasingly economically independent. For previous generations, achieving a measure of financial freedom often meant joining the middle class, but Bernie Sanders isn't lying: The middle class is shrinking. In 2015, 20 percent of American adults made up the lowest-income tier. In 1971, when most millennials' baby boomer parents (probably born between 1946 and 1964) entered their early 20s, that number was 16 percent. This, combined with the uptick in the highest income tier makes for a smaller middle class — 61 percent of Americans were a part of the middle class in 1971 compared to 50 percent of Americans in 2015. If the economic inequality between the 99 and one percent hadn't widened as it has, the middle class of now would be flushed with a lot more income. According to the Economic Policy Institute, the average income of middle-of-the road American households would have increased by about 23 percent if inequality hadn't widened between 1979 and 2015. As it stands, making middle class wages is something of an achievement for someone new to the workforce.
Between 1948 and 1973, rates of productivity and hour compensation soared together - a respective increase of 96.7 percent and 91.3 percent. The "Greatest Generation" was handsomely rewarded for its work. But, beginning in 1973, hourly compensation teetered off while productivity continued to rise — meaning more, and more work without more pay. This was probably felt by baby boomers in the workforce when they were the ages millennials are now, but it's felt even more by the twenty and thirty-somethings of today. From 1973 to 2013 the productivity of the typical American worker rose by about 75 percent while wages only increased by 9 percent. Today's young workers, tethered to their offices by smartphones, are paid historically little for their economic contributions.
Net productivity is the growth of output of goods and services less depreciation per hour worked.
The Economic Policy Institute also reports that the earning power of young college graduates has decreased since 2000 (when those born in 1980 were trying on caps), in part because the hourly wages of post-graduate professionals, once adjusted for inflation, are lower than they were in the late 1990s. According to Goldman Sachs, these lower income levels have left millennials with less money than previous generations. A high school diploma means less for millennials as well — in 1979 a high school graduate could earn about 77 percent of what a college graduate made; today, high school graduates earn about 62 percent of what typical college graduates usually make.
Life as a financially independent adult isn't just harder for Millennials when compared to their Baby Boomer parents — it's even worse for Generation X. The generation born between 1965 and 1982 (including Kanye West regardless of what he says) was seemingly hit hardest by the recession — on average they lost about half of their wealth, compared to the 25 percent loss felt by baby boomers. They are considered the generation the most ill-equipped to retire — while millennials are encountering an unfriendly job market, the Gen X'ers were hit by the recession just as they were in the thick of building their adult lives, meaning that whatever debt they accumulated through education and home-owning loans was only compounded.
So hush, baby boomers. You weren't trying to do this whole be-an-adult thing at the same time public transportation services are planning on increasing their fares every two years. Retire already so we can make enough to pay your social security and invest in the anti-aging technology that will keep us working into our third century.


A senior White House official just called me with a very pointed message for the administration's sometime allies in organized labor, who invested heavily in beating Blanche Lincoln, Obama's candidate, in Arkansas.
"Organized labor just flushed $10 million of their members' money down the toilet on a pointless exercise," the official said. "If even half that total had been well-targeted and applied in key House races across this country, that could have made a real difference in November."
Lincoln relied heavily both on Obama's endorsement, which she advertised relentlessly on radio and in the mail, and on the backing of former President Bill Clinton, who backed her to the hilt.
Lincoln foe Bill Halter had the unstinting support of the AFL-CIO, SEIU, AFSCME and other major unions. And labor officials Tuesday evening were already working to spin the narrow loss of their candidate, Bill Halter, as a moral victory, but the cost in money and in the goodwill of the White House may be a steep price to pay for a near miss.
UPDATE: AFL-CIO spokesman Eddie Vale responds that "labor isn't an arm of the Democratic Party."

Celebrating 25 Years of Achievement
From its origins as a small group of scholars from diverse fields sharing a fascination with and appreciation for the ethics of health care and science, the Berman Institute of Bioethics has grown into a global leader that helps shape ethical policy and practices for the betterment of people around the world. To reflect upon, celebrate, and call attention to this vitally important work, the Berman Institute will mark the 25th anniversary of its 1995 founding with a yearlong series of academic and institutional events.
"With the creation of the Berman Institute 25 years ago, Johns Hopkins formally recognized how important it is for scholars to think systemically and critically about the ethics of health care, public health, and biomedical and behavioral research," said President Ronald J. Daniels. "A truly interdisciplinary center, the Institute brings together expertise from across the University to collaborate and contribute substantially to the world of ideas and action."
Some of the many anniversary events include a monthly seminar series that will bring national and global bioethics experts to speak about their research, a documentary series at The Charles Theatre with screenings followed by filmmakers and bioethics experts discussing issues raised by the films, regional events for JHU alumni, and publication of a Berman Institute historical retrospective.
"This celebration is an opportunity to celebrate the Berman Institute's groundbreaking work in the vital and ever-evolving field of bioethics, and to highlight the many ways our people and programs put ethics into action to produce real-world impact," said Jeffrey P. Kahn, Andreas C. Dracopoulos Director of the Institute.
The field of bioethics has its origins in medical ethics but has a much broader focus. Contemporary bioethics now address not only the ethics of medicine and nursing, but also the ethics of the biological sciences and of national and global public health policies. It is an interdisciplinary field in which philosophers, theologians, legal scholars, social and biological scientists, scholars and professionals in public health, physicians, nurses, and other health professionals work together on ethical challenges.
What is now the Berman Institute of Bioethics began with a faculty interest group. Under the guidance of founder Ruth Faden, and with the support of Morris Offit, Chair of the University's Board from 1990 to 1996, the Institute was formally established in 1995.
"An independent bioethics institute was a natural fit bringing together all the issues Johns Hopkins engages with, from medicine, public health, and arts and sciences," said Offit. "The Berman Institute's extraordinary faculty complements the breadth of Hopkins' work across these different divisions. Johns Hopkins was the ideal place to get this work started and see it further flower."
Today, the Berman Institute advances ethics-driven healthcare and promotes equitable and effective public health policies and practices. It guides ethically responsible development and use of new technologies and works toward ethical solutions to global sustainability challenges. And it educates and creates the next generation of leaders in the field of bioethics.
"In addition to commemorating all we have achieved thus far, we hope this anniversary year will be a springboard to even greater impact in the years ahead," said Kahn.
For full information about the Berman Institute's 25th Anniversary, including an up-to-date schedule of events and a historical timeline, visit bioethics.jhu.edu/25years.

When Michelle Hauck asked me to judge the SFF entries for her New Agent mini-contest, all I heard was "SFF" and "mini-contest." I'd do anything for Michelle (because she's awesome), but with Pitch Wars approaching, I hoped the commitment would be small. Then the submission window opened and we got close to 300 entries.
So much for a small contest.
Pitching contests like New Agent and Pitch Madness offer a fantastic opportunity to engage the author community. There's usually a hashtag (in our case, #NewAgent) for contest announcements, mini-games, and discussions. I can't stress enough how important it is to meet like-minded writers in this way. There's frustration and angst and crushing disappointment at virtually every stage of an author's career. You will need friends who understand what it's like. Who've been through the trenches with you.
NewAgent 2015 drew about 290 submissions. I was responsible for non-MG SF/F, which encompasses a fairly broad envelope — fantasy, science fiction, magical realism, dystopian, paranormal — so I ended up with around 120 entries, give or take. This means that if you submitted a non-MG entry for one of these genres, your odds of success were 5%, which is lower than the request rate for most literary agents.
In other words, there's a 95% chance that you're about to be disappointed in a minute.
250 word limit. The format of this contest is especially challenging for speculative fiction. We're world-builders, dammit! It meant that your first 250 had to be really, really good. There were many entries where the writing sample was just fine, but simply not enough for me to assess your writing ability.
Market realities. If you follow any editors or literary agents, you're probably aware that certain types of books are difficult to sell right now. Dystopians (especially YA), paranormal monsters or monster-hunters, and supernatural detective agency books fell into this category. More on this in a minute.
Judge subjectivity. Although I tried to give every submission a fair shake, I have certain preferences for and against certain subgenres, writing styles, etc. With 120 submissions, I got to be picky. There's not much you can do about this. It comes down to luck, really. The same applies to agents and editors. You don't need ALL of them to fall in love with your project. You just need one.
I've already given you a few reasons to not give a crap if you weren't selected. If you don't want to hear it straight — if you're going to take offense at the idea that there might have been something wrong with your submission — then please skip this section. If you're going to complain on social media or send Michelle a long e-mail rant about whether or not I'm qualified to read these submissions and offer some advice, then you should stop here.
What follows is for people who are willing to accept constructive criticism and work hard to achieve success. Let's dig in.
Is Your Book A Hard Sell?
Someone very wise pointed out to me that some of the most polished projects we see in pitching contests like New Agent are ones that won't sell right now. Otherwise, they'd already have landed literary representation. If you're querying a dystopian or a paranormal fantasy, you know this too well. It's doubly frustrating because we see the success of Twilight and Hunger Games and Divergent and wonder why similar books don't sell like hotcakes.
The reality is this: a book on the bestseller list today was bought 18 months ago. It was probably written 2-3 years ago. By the time rising trends are apparent to most people, it's far too late to chase them.
Let me give you a real-world example: Right now, I have it on good authority that many agents would love to see a space opera. That's because, given the success of books like Ancillary Justice and movies like Guardians of the Galaxy, editors are clamoring for them.
The last thing you should do is go start writing a space opera.
An appropriate word count for an adult space opera is probably 100K to 120K. Unless you're a writing phenomenon, it will take 6-12 months to write, revise, and polish such a book. By then, every editor will have acquired a few space operas and have a dozen other agented submissions like them on their desks. When you query those agents, they probably won't be interested, because they already have a couple of space opera projects already on submission.
But if you do have a good space opera, please query Jennie Goloboy of Red Sofa Literary and tell her I sent you *grin*.
Stop querying, and write a different book. You're a better writer now, and a second project lets you re-approach with all agents you've queried already.
Stop querying, and rewrite your book. Take out the vampires, zombies, or werewolves. If you wrote a far-future dystopian, make it a near-future, realistic sci-fi.
Stop querying, and look into self publishing. This might be the only way to beat the clock if you have something that's hot on the bestseller list but "unsellable" for literary agents.
Notice how each of those options involves the phrase stop querying. I truly believe that's what you should do.
If you didn't submit a book with a marketability problem, you might want to skip the next part. Even though the odds of getting in, numbers-wise, were fairly slim, I'd be lying if I said there were 25 submissions that I wanted but couldn't have. My "Maybe" pile had about 14 entries, and a couple of those ended up being team picks. But the four that I picked for my team never saw the Maybe pile. I picked them right on the spot no matter how far I was in slush reading. That should tell you something about the rest of the slush pile.
Trying to do too much. The somewhat-flexible length of a query tempts people to bring way too much in — too many characters, subplots, plot twists, complications, etc. This feels like you're taking the whole book and trying to squeeze it all in. I recommend you start from scratch and keep it simple. One protagonist. One goal. One source of opposition, and plenty at stake.
Summarizing rather than enticing. A lot of queries just summarized what happened in the book: this happens, then this happens, then this happens. Save that for the 3-page synopsis. In the query, there's no need to provide the backstory or chronicle the plot points. You definitely don't want to give away the ending. It's like the cover copy on the back of a book: short, snappy, unique, and designed to get someone to read the thing.
There's plenty of good advice on how to write a good query. Even if you think you're following the ideal formula in the best way possible, get a second opinion (or five) from some other authors who write in your genre.
I didn't let a problematic query sink any submissions, because that's honestly an easy thing to fix. It was more about the writing sample. Here are some of the issues I encountered with the prose.
The writing isn't strong enough. Writing publication-ready prose is a craft that takes years to develop. Sometimes I only needed a paragraph or two before I could tell that an author isn't there yet.
Dialogue can make (or more often, break) your chances. Poorly-written, stilted, or otherwise unnatural dialogue was a common issue. If the first 250 had no dialogue for me to evaluate, that hurt your chances. I need to see how well you handle it. Only one of my team picks got in without dialogue.
Too much world-building too soon. In the first 250 words, I didn't need much. I wanted to meet your character and see him/her doing something interesting. More than a few made-up words had me feeling lost.
Spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors. If your 250 had any, it really hurt your chances. That's because I'm extrapolating how much work you have to do before the rest of the book is polished to perfection. Two mistakes in 250 words equals 640 for an 80K book.
The opening didn't grab me. Sometimes the prose was clean, the writing was good, but nothing happened. I saw a lot of teens sitting in class or talking to their parents. I saw many 250-word backstories.
The best way to improve your work is to get detailed feedback from someone else. I'm talking about beta readers and critique partners who are not related to you. Yes, it will take time to get their feedback. Yes, you will generally be expected to read something in return. But I feel this is the best way to uncover issues with your work and get some ideas on how to address them.
Congratulations to these fantastic authors — I'm looking forward to working with you! To everyone who entered, I want to say thank you and bravo. It's not easy to write a book or to put it out there for others to judge. No matter what, you should be proud.
Great stuff, Dan. Thanks for breaking it down so well. Everyone should read this.
Thanks for the post and spending your time doing these contests Dan.
As far as Space Operas go, could you give any hints as to which agents are looking for them?
Well, my agent (Jennie Goloboy of Red Sofa Literary) sure is, as I'm sure many who rep SF/F are.

Edinburgh Film Festival to focus on Korea and Sweden
by Connor Beaton
The Edinburgh International Film Festival will feature two national focusses this year, offering festival audiences the chance to see UK premieres of "the best recent work" from South Korea and Sweden, the festival organisers announced from Cannes today.
The Focus on Korea line-up boasts films "from the commercial mainstream to independent cinema", including Ryoo Seung Wan's espionage thriller The Berline File, O Muel's debút feature Jiseul, Chung Ji-young's National Security, Shin Su-won's Pluto, and Virgin Forest, which will be shown alongside two new shorts: Homo Coreanicus, an allegorical story about Korean society; and Day Trip, a collaboration between Stoker's Park Chan-wook and his brother, Park Chan-kyong.
The Focus on Sweden has a similarly diverse line-up, including Mia Engberg's Belleville Baby, Mikael Marcimain's Call Girl, Måns Månsson's debút flick Roland Hassel, emerging Swedish director Karzan Kader's Up & Away, and Fredrik Edfeldt's Sanctuary. There will also be a screening of Mauritz Stiller's 1919 film Sir Arne's Treasure with live musical accompaniement.
Speaking from Cannes, EIFF Artistic Director Chris Fujiwara said: "Our Focusses on Korea and Sweden are major components of EIFF's programme this year. These are undoubtedly two of the most consistently interesting national cinemas, both with a great abundance of filmmaking talent. We have an outstanding selection of stimulating and challenging films from both countries and we're very happy to be showcasing them."
The Focus on Korea is supported by the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Korean Film Council, and the Korean Cultural Centre UK. The Focus on Sweden is supported by the Swedish Film Institute. You can find out more about Edinburgh International Film Festival on its official website here.

About the research degree
A Master's by Research (MSc) allows you to undertake a one year (full-time) research degree. It contains little or no formal taught component. This type of study gives you the chance to explore a research topic over a shorter time than a more in-depth doctoral programme.
Research Master's students choose a specific project to work on and have a greater degree of independence in their work than is the case with a taught Master's course.
You'll be expected to work to an approved programme which you will develop in conjunction with your supervisor within the first few months of starting your studies. Whilst undertaking the research project you will also have the opportunity to develop your research skills by taking part in training courses and events.
At the end of the project you write up your findings in the form of a short thesis of around 25,000 words, which will then be examined.
On successful completion, you will be awarded your degree and if you have enjoyed this taste of research you may then decide to apply for the full research doctoral degree (PhD).
You will be appointed a main supervisor who will normally be part of a supervisory team, comprising up to three members. The research supervisor will advise and support you on your project.
The normal entry requirements for enrolment on a MSc by Research is an upper second honours degree (2.1) from a UK university or a qualification of an equivalent standard, in a discipline appropriate to that of the proposed programme to be followed.
If your first language is not English, you will need to meet the minimum requirements of an English Language qualification. The minimum for IELTS is 6.0 overall with the written element at least 6.0 with no element lower than 5.5, or equivalent will be considered acceptable. Read more about the University's entry requirements for students outside of the UK on our Where are you from information pages.
Why choose Huddersfield?
There are many reasons to choose the University of Huddersfield and here are just five of them:
We were named University of the Year by Times Higher Education in 2013.
Huddersfield is the only University where 100% of permanent teaching staff are Fellows of the Higher Education Authority.

94.6% of our postgraduate students go on to work and/or further study within six months of graduating.
We have world-leading applied research groups in Biomedical Sciences, Engineering and Physical Sciences, Social Sciences and Arts and Humanities.
There are several research topics available for this degree. See below examples of research areas including an outline of the topics, the supervisor, funding information and eligibility criteria:
Design of novel mucosal drug delivery formulations
Drug delivery via the mucosal routes such as the oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, urinary bladder, vagina and rectum offer several advantages such as drug targeting, enhanced drug delivery etc. This research is focused on design and evaluation of novel dosage forms and materials for mucosal delivery of drugs and macromolecules. This project will involve the use of polymers modified for enhance mucosal interactions and the design of dosage forms such as wafers, gels, films, patches etc.
Self-funding applicants are welcome. In addition to tuition fees, bench fees of between £3-£15,000 per annum are required depending on the nature of the project.

Dr Adeola Adebisi
Identification of MS biomarkers
We are looking to identifying biomarkers to help diagnose and predict Multiple Sclerosis and related disorders. These includes breath and blood analysis to pinpoint indicators of how the disease progresses.
Dr Patrick Mchugh
Novel formulation approaches to improve delivery and efficacy of drugs
The advancements in material sciences and improved understanding of the human gastrointestinal (GI) environment are leading to the intelligent design of formulations. The rationale design and selection of delivery technologies improve the performance of orally administered drugs, for example, by improving drug solubility, flux or by delivering it to the specific gastrointestinal regions. Our research in formulation sciences offers a novel and customized solutions for immediate and delayed-release formulations; and drug targeting in the GI tract, such as delivery to the colon.
Dr Hamid Merchant
Particle engineering and solubility enhancements of pharmaceuticals
With a lot of new chemical entities (NCE) being classed according to the Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) as Class II, there is a growing need to improve their solubility. Belonging to class II means they have low solubility but high permeability and therefore high peroral dose. Enhancement of their dissolution due to the poor solubility is therefore key in ensuring a suitable plasma concentration for therapeutic effect. Techniques such as particle size reduction, prodrug derivatisation, use of surfactants, salt formation, cocrystallisation and solid dispersions to name a few are used to improve solubility. This projects aims at using novel techniques in engineering the particle sizes of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) in the quest of achieving improved solubility in these systems and characterising them.
Dr Kofi Asare-addo
Pharmaceutical application of Biopolymers
Natural materials are increasingly being used as alternatives to synthetic pharmaceutical excipients in various drug delivery systems due to their biocompatibility, low cost, and relative abundance. This research project will explore the extraction and characterization of selected natural products and their assessment for potential pharmaceutical applications.
Pharmaceutical applications of clays
Magnesium aluminum silicate is a sheet-type clay mineral and a saponite in the smectite group. Smectites have a basic three-layered structure (tetrahedral– octahedral–tetrahedral layers) in which an octahedral layer with an Mg atom in the centre and six apical oxygen atoms are present between regular tetrahedral layers with an Si atom in the centre and four apical oxygen atoms. Clays have many different applications as reviewed in literature. The objectives of this study is to fully understand and determine pharmaceutically relevant properties of clays with regards to its suitability in solid dosage forms using compression analysis, small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), isothermal calorimetry (ITC) and x-ray microtomography (XµT)
Repurposing drugs for the treatment of inflammatory conditions
We are looking to repurpose known drugs for the use in inflammatory conditions, including neuropathic pain. Repurposing allows for a more rapid drug development, as previously approved drugs will not require the stringency of clinical trials.
UV imaging in Pharmaceuticals
UV imaging has been used as a platform for observing the behaviour of pharmaceutical compounds. The surface dissolution imaging instrument (SDI) has been used in determining the intrinsic dissolution rates (IDR) of compounds due to its compound sparing approach and has been used to observe phenomena such as the swelling behaviour of hydrophilic matrices, capsule dissolution and drug precipitation. We have also developed a Franz cell prototype (patented) at allows imaging through biological and synthetic skin membranes. This project aims to utilise this imaging platform in providing further insights into the behaviour of pharmaceuticals with the prospect of speeding up the preformulation stage thereby reducing costs
Ungunal/Transungual drug delivery
Conventional nail formulations are not fully effective due to limited drug permeation across the compact keratinized structure of the nail plate. Drug permeation through the nail plate is important for treating nail diseases and infections. Therefore, there is currently a need for more effective formulations in the treatment of nail diseases. This project will explore the use of novel combination of approaches in the design of ungunal and transungunal formulations in order to enhance to drug delivery to the nail.
We undertake world class research across a range of disciplines - from identifying targets for new drugs to combat important diseases like depression through to developing and improving drug delivery methods by inhalation and other routes. Research within the Pharmaceutical Sciences can be split into themes:
• Pharmaceutics • Material Sciences • Pharmacology and Pharmacogenomics.
Research plays an important role in informing all our teaching and learning activities. Through undertaking research our staff remain up-to-date with the latest developments in their field, which means you develop knowledge and skills which are current and relevant to your specialist area.

When you are offered a place on a research degree, your offer will include confirmation of your supervisory team, and the topic you will be researching.
Whilst the University will use reasonable efforts to ensure your supervisory team remains the same, sometimes it may be necessary to make changes to your team for reasons outside the University's control, for example if your supervisor leaves the University, or suffers from long term illness. Where this is the case, we will discuss these difficulties with you and seek to either put in place a new supervisory team, or help you to transfer to another research facility, in accordance with our Student Protection Plan.
Changes may also be necessary because of circumstances outside our reasonable control, for example the University being unable to access its buildings due to fire, flood or pandemic, or the University no longer being able to provide specialist equipment. Where this is the case, we will discuss these issues with you and agree any necessary changes.
Your research project is likely to evolve as you work on it and these minor changes are a natural and expected part of your study. However, we may need to make more significant changes to your topic of research during the course of your studies, either because your area of interest has changed, or because for reasons outside the University's control we can no longer support your research. If this is the case, we will discuss any changes in topic with you and agree these in writing. If you are an international student, changing topics may affect your visa or ATAS clearance and if this is the case we will discuss this with you before any changes are agreed.
When you enrol as a student of the University, your study and time with us will be governed by the University's Terms and Conditions and a framework of regulations, policies and procedures, which form the basis of your agreement with us. It is important that you familiarise yourself with these as you will be asked to agree to abide by them when you join us as a student. You will find a guide to the key terms here, along with the Student Protection Plan, where you will also find links to the full text of each of the regulations, policies and procedures referred to.
The Office for Students (OfS) is the principal regulator for the University.


As soon as you see Hussein Chalayan's work, you know, this man is innovating fashion. In the Autumn/Winter show in the year 2000 he set his stage up like a sitting room. It consisted of four chairs, a table, a flat screen television, several vases and pots. In the finale four models approached the set of chairs, removed the covers and put them on. The chair covers turned into dresses. The last model stepped inside the table, lifted it up, and it transformed into a wooden skirt.
Chalayan, a British-Turkish Cypriot fashion designer, always tries to reinvent in his work. He loves working with the newest technologies. Click on the picture below to watch the short documentary (7,5 minutes) about the making of the last Spring/Summer 2012 Show in Paris. He explains that everything has been done before, but technology allows you to create new combinations, new relationships, new interactions.
