a) Potential negative impact of an express highway on the property;
b) Potential negative impact of large-scale events commemorating 1300th Anniversary of Nara Heijo-kyo capital, planned to take place on the property in 2010.
In its Decision 32 COM 7B.73, adopted at its 32nd session (Quebec City, 2008), concerning the Nara Palace site (Heijo-kyo site), one of the eight sites forming the property, the World Heritage Committee recommended further development and establishment of appropriate groundwater monitoring systems and risk mitigation plans in order to prevent any unwanted fluctuation of groundwater level which might have been caused by the construction and/or use of a proposed expressway. It also recommended that the State Party take appropriate measures not to damage the buried archaeological relics when praparing the detailed designs for the commemorative events foreseen in 2010. The World Heritage Committee further requested that the State Party confirm whether or not any new reconstruction is being planned at the property, as well as clarifying if any change in the legal and institutional framework of the property was envisaged and elaborating possible implications for management and conservation of the property.
The World Heritage Centre received, on 2 February 2009, a report from the State Party outlining progress as follows:
a) The Yamato-Kita Road highway
The Yamato-Kita Road Groundwater Monitoring Study Committee held its 4th meeting on 1 August 2008. It analyzed the results of studies on the soil at the site and discussed measures for the preservation of the mokkan (buried ancient wooden writing tablets). This included ways to maintain the groundwater levels stable in case of any unexpected contingency. This Committee is expected to develop a "basic plan" for the monitoring of groundwater and risk mitigation, in view of the establishment of a more comprehensive plan. The State Party did not provide any timeframe for the completion of these two plans.
b) Commemorative Events for the 1300th Anniversary of Nara Heijo-kyo Palace in 2010
The Commemorative Events of the 1300th Anniversary of Nara Heijo-kyo Capital will be held throughout the year 2010, primarily on the Nara Palace site. The events are being prepared and will be run by the "Association for Commemorative Events of the 1300th Anniversary of Nara Heijo-kyo Capital", formed by the Nara Prefectural government and other local organizations. On 10 September 2008, the Association applied for permission to the Agency for Cultural Affairs in Japan (ACA), in compliance with the Cultural Properties Protection Law to set up event-related temporary structures within the Nara Place site. As reported in the previous state of conservation report submitted for the 32nd session, the overall events plan had been significantly scaled-down in January 2008 from the original plan. After careful review, ACA judged that the plan would not have any negative impact on the archaeological remains, and that the landscape impact of the temporary structures would be minor and not permanent. Permission was thus granted on 21 November 2008.
c) Decision to make the Nara Palace site a "National Government Park"
The State Party report notes that the Government of Japan approved, on 28 October 2008, a cabinet resolution to develop the entire Nara Palace site, with the exception of a few adjacent residential areas, as a "National Government Park". Such parks are urban parks maintained and administered by the national government, based on the provisions of the Urban Parks Law, under the responsibility of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). The report does not elaborate on the reasons why this decision was taken. It clarifies, however, that the management of the Nara Palace site will continue to be based on the Japanese Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties under a new framework involving MLIT, ACA and the Nara Prefecture, which remains, from the legal point of view, the site-managing authority.
On 1 December 2008, MLIT approved a "Basic Plan for the Asuka-Nara Palace Site Historical National Government Park" (hereafter "the Basic Plan"). This Basic Plan was drafted taking into account the fundamental policies and specific contents articulated by ACA in its "Basic Scheme for the Preservation and Development of the Nara Palace Site" (hereafter "Basic Scheme") which had been adopted in 1978.
The State Partyreports that the Basic Plan includes the reconstruction of full-scale replicas of some of the ancient buildings and structures within the Palace, such as the earthen-walled corridors, the south gate, and the east and west towers in the vicinity of the First Imperial Audience Hall (currently under reconstruction). This will be based, according to the State Party report, on "the result of the sufficient investigation and survey" and conducted under the close scrutiny of ACA.
The reconstruction of the above structures was not mentioned in the nomination file (1998), while the then on-going reconstruction of the Suzaku gate, Toin-teien area (Eastern Palace Garden area) and Daigokuden (Imperial Audience Hall) were. It appears, however, that the reconstruction of the Imperial Audience Hall Compound was already envisaged in a 1993 version of the Basic Scheme. The Basic Plan also foresees the relocation of the existing roads, railway and research facilities to outside the newly established Nara Palace Special Historic Site "National Government Park".
The World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies, whilst noting the progress made on the development of monitoring and risk mitigation measures for possible groundwater fluctuation and other risks with regard to the highway construction and its future use, point out the need for a concrete timetable for realization of these measures. Regarding the temporary structures to be built for the 1300th Anniversary commemorative events, it is noted that these will be light in weight, sensitively designed and will not involve any foundation or excavation of trenches. Nevertheless, a timetable for their removal after the festivities needs to be formulated.
With regard to the State Party's intention to reconstruct full-scale replicas of some buildings and structures within the Nara Palace site, the rationale for this large scale project has not been established. The World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies recall that this would have to be done in consultation with the World Heritage Committee and "only on the basis of complete and detailed documentation and to no extent on conjecture", as stated in Paragraph 86 of the Operational Guidelines, and respect the all provisions of the Operational Guidelines pertaining to authenticity and integrity. The World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies consider that before any such reconstruction project commences, a full justification of the rationale for the reconstruction, including the detailed evidence on which it is based, should be submitted to the World Heritage Centre for evaluation by the Advisory Bodies.
With regard to the new administrative and institutional framework for the management of the Heijo Palace site, the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies consider that it would be important to see how this change impacts on the overall management system for the entire inscribed serial property, i.e. in which ways the conservation policies at each of the eight sites forming the listed property are harmonised and coordinated so as to ensure that Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage property is maintained and presented. In light of these changes, it may be appropriate for the State Party to give consideration to the establishment ofan overall coordinating framework for the management of this serial property.
In the framework of the forthcoming periodic reporting exercise for the Asia Pacific region, the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies will provide assistance to the State Party in the preparation of a Statement of Outstanding Universal Value for the property.

With its wide sandy beaches, moorlands, fields, countryside and hundreds of walking trails, Devon is a great place for dogs. Highlighting dog heaven, Rick Bond and Harry Roberts from My Favourite Holiday Cottages pick out a few properties that would get a bark of approval from even the most pampered of pooches.
Canine comforts at The Byre @ Cross Farm include dog bowl, dog bed, covers for sofas if required, a fenced-in garden, vets phone number on the wall and even a poop scoop. This beautiful 3-bed barn conversion has other very friendly dogs nearby, including Bart, the owner's sociable black Labrador who likes to stay in touch with his canine holiday chums through his blog – Barts Blog at The Byre.
The Byre is in the charming village of Goodleigh, nestling in the foothills of Exmoor above Barnstaple. In the midst of great dog walking country, fit dogs, and owners, will enjoy the 10-mile round walk via Cobden Hill (stunning views from Exmoor across to Dartmoor) and a hearty lunch at the historic Chichester Arms. For dogs happier with shorter walks, Goodleigh's New Inn is also a popular place to eat and socialise. Bart often goes for a wander down there himself.
Aga-baked dog biscuits are part of a doggy welcome hamper prepared by the owner of Abscott Cottage in Shirwell Part of the Youlston House Estate, the childhood home of Sir Francis Chichester, Abscott cottage is equidistant between the golden beaches of Saunton and Woolacombe and the moorland footpaths over Exmoor – both ideal country for rambling with a dog who needs to work off too many of those biscuits.
The owners of six, dog friendly properties at Carswell Farm Cottages, a working organic dairy farm in the heart of South Hams, believe that dogs deserve a holiday just as much as the rest of the family. Dogs will love the farm's own private cove, and the nearby South west Coastal Footpath. Most of the beaches here allow dogs all year round – as do the local pubs. The owners have also thoughtfully included handy stair gates so that humans don't come downstairs and disturb a dog's sleep in the middle of the night!
Boswell nestles alongside the Snod brook in the secluded Sweetcombe Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty two miles from the Heritage Coast. All seven of the 4-star, 17th Century Grade II listed cottages are converted from ancient farm buildings. Local walks will suit laid-back dogs looking to explore East Devon's timeless landscape.
Devon offers many more splendid 'dog friendly' holiday cottages. Most will charge a small fee to cover the additional cleaning costs involved in removing all traces of dog hairs and 'any other little reminders' before the next guests arrive. It's worth paying for the companionship of a valuable family member on holiday – and a fraction of the price of a kennel!
See all these dog friendly cottages and more on the Pet Friendly Holiday Cottages pages on My Favourite Holiday Cottages.
Always make your doggy guests feel welcome. Providing food and drink bowls and a towel or two to wipe us dogs down after a good walk is a nice touch and saves owners having to pack them.
Comfy bedding is great to help doggy visitors feel at home.
Covers for furniture might help if you want to protect your nice sofas from some less than perfectly-behaved dogs!
Leave information about walks (and where not to go) in the cottage. If you're near the coast, information about which beaches welcome us dogs (and which don't) is always helpful.
Remind dog owners of the country code, some farmers won't give a dog that chases sheep a second chance. I should know!
And always leave bins un-secured and full of food. Yum yum!

Skimlinks is an online company that maximises the ability for publishers to earn revenue from their content. Skimlinks' CEO Alicia Navarro is one of the few female tech entrepreneurs in the UK, a characteristic that she has found beneficial in catching attention and earning trust from clients.
When the recession led to extremely hard times for Alicia, she created skimbit.com in Australia, a website that acted as a decision marketing tool. Alicia, and Skimlinks co-founder Jon Stepniewski, were forced to reconsider their business strategy in order to launch into the European tech market and in 2008, they launched Skimlinks.com.
By removing the administration and technical complexities from the online publishing process, Alicia hoped to provide publishers with the revenue and recognition they deserved for their role. By adding a 'Skimlink' code to their online template, publishers of blogs, forums and applications, are able to monitor and monetise customer activity.
Alicia has a Bachelor in Information and Technology and achieved the University Medal for Computing Science at the University of Technology, Sydney. Before launching skimlinks.com, Alicia worked for over 10 years designing and launching internet and mobile-based applications in Australia and the UK. Companies included Vodafone, IBM and Optus.
Despite its relatively short existence, Skimlinks has managed to achieve a startling number of accolades. Alicia was named in Management Today's '35 Women Under 35', which focused on entrepreneurial women who thrived despite the economic difficulties. Skimlinks was winner of the A4U Awards and reached the finals of the Startup Awards.
Skimlinks has already raised around $2 million. By securing clients before the launch, Skimlinks were fortunate enough to have backing before their idea had materialised. Now, their major investors include NESTA, The Accelerator Group and Sussex Place Adventures. Despite major competition from a merged US company who have backing from Google Ventures, Alicia is determined that her upcoming move to fiercely promote Skimlinks in Silicon Valley combined with their establishment in the UK, will soon make them the front runner in aiding publishing revenue.
Under the management of Alicia Navarro, Skimlinks is sure to rapidly expand and fill a niche market to provide online publishers with the income they deserve.

Feeding the future: the rise of urban farming
Could city farming help to feed the world as populations grow?

Public and private sectors chart a course for cities to reach a net-zero carbon future
The average age of an American farmer is 57.5 years.
Just under 70% of the world's population will live in urban areas by 2050.
Square Roots is teaching young city farmers how to grow food sustainably.
Among the high-rise buildings and concrete sidewalks of Brooklyn, there's a quiet green revolution taking place.
This company grows crops inside, stacked on top of one another
Paris is opening the world's largest urban rooftop farm
These Dutch tomatoes can teach the world about sustainable agriculture
In old shipping containers, the shoots of a new way of urban farming are starting to emerge, which could help meet the demand of a growing urban population.
Square Roots is an indoor urban farming company, which not only grows food sustainably without soil, but is teaching a new generation of farmers how to do it too.
"We realized there were tens of thousands of young people who were as passionate about changing the food system as we were, but just didn't know how to get started," says Tobias Peggs, CEO of Square Roots.
Square Roots is tackling several issues in one go: the need to use less water and other resources in agriculture, the ageing of farmers, the global population rise and, in particular, the growing urban population.
Farmers in the US aren't getting any younger, with an average age at 57.5, according to census data, up 1.2 years from 2012.
A new way of farming.

And it's a similar story in other places around the world. In Kenya, the average farmer is 60. In Japan, 67.
By 2050, 68% of the world's population is expected to live in urban areas, so that's where much of the focus of food growing will need to be.
"Younger generations are really interested in making sure we're all eating healthy food that's nutritious and grown in sustainable ways, but they're less interested in living in the middle of the country," says Peggs.
The future of farming
The Next-Gen Farmer Training Program teaches would-be farmers how to grow leafy greens in a high-tech hydroponic system that it says uses up to 95% less water than traditional farms.
They study plant science, to find out what's happening at a molecular level as the plant grows, they learn about the business side and engage with the local community and agriculture ecosystems.
What is the World Economic Forum doing to help ensure global food security?
Two billion people in the world currently suffer from malnutrition and according to some estimates, we need 60% more food to feed the global population by 2050. Yet the agricultural sector is ill-equipped to meet this demand: 700 million of its workers currently live in poverty, and it is already responsible for 70% of the world's water consumption and 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
New technologies could help our food systems become more sustainable and efficient, but unfortunately the agricultural sector has fallen behind other sectors in terms of technology adoption.
Launched in 2018, the Forum's Innovation with a Purpose Platform is a large-scale partnership that facilitates the adoption of new technologies and other innovations to transform the way we produce, distribute and consume our food.
With research, increasing investments in new agriculture technologies and the integration of local and regional initiatives aimed at enhancing food security, the platform is working with over 50 partner institutions and 1,000 leaders around the world to leverage emerging technologies to make our food systems more sustainable, inclusive and efficient.
Learn more about Innovation with a Purpose's impact and contact us to see how you can get involved.
Each shipping container at the company's campus in Brooklyn's Bed-Stuy neighbourhood can produce up to 45kg of fresh basil, chive or mint leaves per week, which is grown without pesticides, and uses data to optimize flavour and nutrition.
"Successful companies in the 21st century have to be doing well – and doing good at the same time," says Peggs.
"We're growing food and selling food, that's how we make money. But we're doing that in a sustainable way, which is better for the planet and we're empowering the next generation of leaders in urban farming."

Carmakers to add alerts to prevent child heatstroke deaths
Posted 8:14 PM, September 4, 2019, by Associated Press
File photo of baby sleeping in backseat
DETROIT (AP) — By the 2025 model year, nearly all new vehicles sold in the U.S. will come with electronic alerts to remind people to not leave children behind in the back seats.
Twenty automakers representing 98% of new vehicles sold have agreed to install reminders in an effort to stop heatstroke deaths.
So far this year 39 children have died in the U.S. after being left alone in cars during hot weather. The advocacy group Kids and Cars says a record 54 children were killed last year.
Vehicles would give drivers audible and visual alerts to check back seats every time they turn off the ignition.
"Automakers have been exploring ways to address this safety issue, and this commitment underscores how such innovations and increased awareness can help children right now," David Schwietert, interim CEO of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a trade group that includes a dozen large car companies. Members of Global Automakers, an association of manufacturers based outside the U.S., also are taking part.
Automakers say the voluntary agreement will get the alerts installed faster than a government regulation, which takes four to eight years.
Only Tesla didn't agree to the reminders, but it is not a member of either trade association.
Several automakers already are offering such a feature. General Motors, for instance, has a reminder on all of its four-door sedans, trucks and SUVs starting with the 2019 model year. The system issues alerts if the rear doors were opened before the start of a trip. Hyundai has pledged to make a similar system standard on its vehicles by 2022.
The auto alliance says the agreement is a minimum and doesn't preclude automakers from coming up with more sophisticated solutions.
The U.S. House is considering a bill that would require such alerts.
Two House Democrats, Frank Pallone Jr. of New Jersey and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois, a co-sponsor of the bill, said the industry's action was a step in the right direction, but history has shown that voluntary commitments don't necessarily bring meaningful action.
"Congress must be vigilant and continue to pursue legislation that requires these companies to take the necessary steps to protect children and holds the companies accountable," they said in a statement.
Kids and Cars said that the auto industry's move is a way to avoid binding government regulations.
An alert every time a vehicle is turned off wouldn't address nearly one-third of the hot car deaths in which children get into a car on their own and become trapped, the group said in a statement.
"In order for a system to be effective and comprehensive, the system must be able to detect the presence of a rear seat occupant, not just infer that there might be one," the group said.

Today we had such an exciting day we went to see the Colosseum and it was humongous we could hardly believe it !
Walking up Via Di San Gregorio we could spy the iconic arena and we were more than impressed. Holding between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators this ancient attraction was used for gladiatorial contests, mock sea battles and animal hunts. As we entered we climbed up on to the upper level and took in this spectacular interior.
Whilst here we decided to look inside the relic museum located inside the upper tier. Filled with pots and artwork, we were surprised these wonderful discoveries had stayed in immaculate condition. As we left the museum we spotted a balcony that you could stand on and look out into the city having views of The Forum, Palatine Hill and The Arch Of Constantine.
We also discovered a few things about the gladiators whilst we were there, there were many types of gladiators and but the main ones each represented relationships in nature. Those being fishermen and the sea, animals and hunters. Prisoners and slaves were also used as gladiators and could win their freedom and potentially become a gladiator.
Have you ever wondered why the Colosseum has parts missing from the building? We always assumed they had just eroded or fallen off with the weather, thats partly true as after a serious of earthquakes and a fire collapsed some stone. But this was way after the first initial removal of stone. Yes removal. After there was a ban of fights inside the colosseum there was no use for it and parts of the upper tier stone were removed for the use in construction of other buildings. That surprised us very much.

A Louisiana pastor reportedly committed suicide shortly after he was exposed on the website Ashley Madison.
July's data breach of Ashley Madison, a website said to be used primarily for cheating on one's spouse in secrecy, saw the release of personal information belonging to over 30 million users.
Among those users was 56-year-old John Gibson, who was found dead by his wife, Christi, in their home on August 24, Huffington Post reports.
Christi cited a suicide note suggested her husband killed himself because he could not handle the shame of his alleged infidelity becoming public.
He talked about depression. He talked about having his name on there, and he said he was just very, very sorry.
The widow believes her husband feared the data breach put his job in jeopardy.
It wasn't so bad that we wouldn't have forgiven it, and so many people have said that to us, but for John, it carried such a shame.
John Gibson was a pastor of First Southern Baptist Church in Pearlington, Mississippi and a professor at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, according to New York Daily News.
Dr. Chuck Kelley, the president of the seminary, announced the death during a service at the New Orleans campus on Tuesday.
On the first day of classes, we had the unexpected death of a much loved professor, colleague and friend, Dr. John Gibson. We learned that he made some very sad and unfortunate choices in his life, and his son shared in his memorial service his death appeared to come at his own hand.
Kelley added Gibson would often fix students' cars for free and pay for the parts with his own money, Daily Mail reports.
The deceased left behind his wife, who is a minister of discipleship and missions at First Baptist Church New Orleans, and their two children.
Christi Gibson told CNNMoney anyone affected by the Ashley Madison leak deserves love and support.
These were real people with real families, real pain and real loss. Don't underestimate the power of love. Nothing is worth the loss of a father and a husband and a friend. It just didn't merit it. It didn't merit it at all.
At least three other recent suicides are thought to be direct results of the hack.

Because 7:8-9
Get it? Because Seven Ate Nine? (sigh) That's the punchline to a joke for kids. I love kid jokes, because they are silly and innocent. So why does this stupid punchline looks like a scripture reference? Ah-ha! Because you're about to read a bunch of kids answers to a Catholic school test.
I thought this was pretty funny. If you're even remotely familiar with the Bible, you might get a kick out of this. It has been circulating the internet and emails, and is supposedly the real answers from a group of kids from a Catholic school test, and are statements about the Bible. (I'm a cynic about such things, so it's possible it's not real but it's funny nonetheless.) Nothing has been changed about the spelling or wording, and some of the misspellings are great. (Homonyms rule!) Enjoy!
1. in the first book of the bible, guinessis. god got tired of creating the world so he took the sabbath off.
2. adam and eve were created from an apple tree. noah's wife was joan of ark. noah built and ark and the animals came on in pears.
3. lots wife was a pillar of salt during the day, but a ball of fire during the night.
4. the jews were a proud people and throughout history they had trouble with unsympathetic genitals.
5. sampson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a jezebel like delilah.
6. samson slayed the philistines with the axe of the apostles.
7. moses led the jews to the red sea where they made unleavened bread which is bread without any ingredients
8, the egyptians were all drowned in the dessert. afterwards, moses went up to mount cyanide to get the ten commandments.
9. the first commandments was when eve told adam to eat the apple.
10. the seventh commandment is thou shalt not admit adultery.
11. moses died before he ever reached canada. then joshua led the hebrews in the battle of geritol.
12. the greatest miricle in the bible is when joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him.
13. david was a hebrew king who was skilled at playing the liar. he fought the finkelsteins, a race of people who lived in biblical times.
14. solomon, one of dav sons, had 300 wives and 700 porcupines.
15. when mary learned she was the mother of jesus, she sang the magna carta.
16. when the three wise guys from the east side arrived they found jesus in the manager.
17. jesus was born because mary had an immaculate contraption.
18. st. john the blacksmith dumped water on his head.
19. jesus enunciated the golden rule, which says to do unto others before they do one to you. he also explained a man doth not live by sweat alone.
20. it was a miricle when jesus rose from the dead and managed to get the tombstone off the entrance.
21. the people who followed the lord were called the 12 decibels.
22. the epistels were the wives of the apostles.
23. one of the oppossums was st. matthew who was also a taximan.
24. st. paul cavorted to christianity, he preached holy acrimony which is another name for marraige.
25. christians have only one spouse. this is called monotony.
Gimme a few days (or so) and I'll be back with some of my favorite more 'grown up' (but clean) Christian jokes.

Mallinckrodt Completes Enrollment in Phase 4 Trial Testing Acthar Gel in SLE Patients
by Patricia Inacio, PhD
Click Here to receive Lupus News via e-mail
Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals has completed enrollment for its Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating the safety and effectiveness of H.P. Acthar Gel (repository corticotropin injection) in patients with persistently active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
The company expects the first results to be available by early 2020.
"I am delighted that enrollment is completed, and look forward to evaluating the data as it becomes available," Anca Askanase, MD, said in a press release. Askanase is director of the Columbia University Lupus Center in New York City and the trial's principal investigator.
"Lupus patients are a challenging population to manage medically. We hope that the knowledge from this study will help guide treating physicians and can benefit lupus patients," Askanase said.
Acthar is a prolonged-release, injectable formulation, of a porcine adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) analogue, designed to control the pro-inflammatory immune response in lupus and several other inflammatory diseases.
Marketed by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, the therapy is approved in the U.S. for multiple indications, including for use during an exacerbation or as maintenance therapy in selected cases of SLE.
The ongoing Phase 4 trial (NCT02953821) is evaluating the real-life effects of Acthar in SLE patients with persistently active disease. Following a screening period of up to 28 days, patients will be randomized to receive 1 mL (80 Units) of Acthar or the equivalent dose of a matching placebo. Treatment will continue for 24 weeks.
During the first four weeks, treatment will be administered subcutaneously (under the skin) every other day, after which it will be administered twice a week.
The study's main goal is to measure the proportion of patients who responded to treatment, assessed by the SLE Responder Index (SRI), at week 16.
Efficacy also will be assessed with other measures of disease activity, including the SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K), British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG), Physician Global Assessment (PGA), Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI), and 28 Joint Count.
The trial has enrolled 172 patients across 74 clinical sites in the United States, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru.
Data from a previous trial showed that treatment with Acthar significantly reduced disease activity scores in SLE patients whose disease was persistently active despite treatment with corticosteroid therapy.
"This is another exciting milestone in clinical evidence generation for Acthar. The data from our prior lupus pilot clinical study support the use of Acthar to treat lupus patients who have clinically significant disease activity despite receiving corticosteroids," said Steven Romano, MD, chief scientific officer and executive vice president at Mallinckrodt.
"We look forward to completing the Phase 4 clinical trial later this year with top-line results anticipated by early 2020, providing additional data to help prescribers better understand how Acthar may be utilized in the management of these more difficult-to-manage patients with SLE," Romano added.

We drove into Orangeburg, then headed south. On Highway 61 we saw a sign for the community of Sixty-Six. I'd never heard of it before, so we decided to check it out. It was an old railroad community that didn't turn out to be much. I may have to do some further research. We did drive through Branchville, which has "the oldest railroad junction in the world." Laura wasn't sure about that claim, though, so I filled her in on the history of "The Best Friend" of Charleston, one of the first railroads in the US.
We cruised through several communities, including some of the places I've been for trips on the Edisto – Reevesville, Cannadys, Mars Field, Givhens Ferry, and so on. One of the things I love about these communities are the elaborate church names. We passed several "House of Miracles", but my favorite is the "Whosoever Will Prayer Band Holiness Church" near Cannadys.
We continued along the Edisto toward Summerville, and soon found ourselves crossing the Ashley River. Our first target for the morning was the Old Dorchester state historic site. It's the site of an abandoned town, so it's perfect for inclusion in my ghost town list.
Old Dorchester was settled by Congregationalists in the late 1600's, and was an active township for nearly 100 years, until the time Revolutionary War. It also served as an important munitions cache, and a fort was built to protect that cache.
When Laura and I arrived we had the place all to ourselves. The skies were overcast, it was chilly and windy and threatening rain, but didn't seem too bad. We started our explorations by wandering down to the river.
We found an old bridge location across the Ashley, then looked back up toward the old fort.
The fort was made of tabby, and was designed so that the gun emplacements could cover all of the walls with a minimum of cannon. The remains of the old munitions building can still be seen in the center of the enclosure.
Apart from the fort, the other significant structure on grounds is the ruins of St. George Church. Now only the bell tower remains, as well as the the historic cemetery. Several house locations were also marked off, as well as other locations around the town.
From Old Dorchester we crossed the Ashley River again, this time heading for the ACE Basin. The skies were clearing, but it was still a bit overcast and chilly. We were headed for the Donnelly Wildlife Management Area.
I had been to Donnelly just three weeks ago with the guys from Lowcountry Unfiltered. On that trip we entered the abandoned Boynton House, thereby invoking a curse on our trip. This time we decided to avoid the Boynton trail and rice fields all together, and just pause at the ponds to do some bird watching. And there were plenty of birds to be seen – herons, storks, gallinules, coots, pelicans, egrets, kingfishers, and other interesting things.
We road over to the alligator pond. Instead of lining the banks and sunning themselves on the islands, this time most of the alligators were floating in the water. We counted a couple of dozen.
We stopped at several overlooks, then headed out of Donnelly toward the Bear Island WMA. This is another location in the ACE Basin that has an extensive pond system with lots of birds.
In all we spent several hours at the two wildlife management centers. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes were quite fierce. At one point when I got out at Bear Island I thought I was going to be eaten alive. We drove out to Bennett's Point on the Edisto River, where they have some interesting housing – single-wide trailers raised on stilts. From there we decided to have dinner on Edisto Island, then drive back inland for our next day at Beidler Forest.
Next time you go to Branchville, be sure to get a cheeseburger at The Churn. We called ahead on Friday, and our order was ready when we got there. Good milkshakes, too!
Any time you're near Edisto, give us a call. We may even have an extra bed available!

Kids love the park—running across the lawns, climbing on the playgrounds, digging in the sand—it's all kinds of fun. And while you love to enjoy the park with your kids, sometimes it's just too much. Too much trying to fit onto equipment meant for smaller bodies, too much watching out for sketchy characters, too much togetherness with the other parents. If you've ever lied to your kid that the park is closed today, you'll appreciate these memes.

'Angela's Ashes' won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics' Circle Award. For thirty years he taught in NYC schools, before, in his 60s, settling down to write his story.
'An astonishing book!completely mesmerising -- you can open it almost at random and find writing to make you gasp.' Independent 'The most remarkable thing about Frank McCourt, apart from his survival, is his lack of sorrowfulness. "Angela's Ashes" sings with irreverent Limerick wit. It makes you smile at the triumph of the storyteller, a tougher specimen who escaped Limerick's teeming alleys through intelligence and cunning and lived to tell the tale.' The Times 'Once opened, this brilliant and seductive book will not let you rest until Frank emerges, more or less reared, at the close of boyhood.' Thomas Keneally, author of 'Schindler's List.' 'Frank McCourt's lyrical Irish voice will draw comparison to Joyce. It's that seductive, that hilarious. In the annals of memoir, his name will be writ large.' Mary Karr, author of 'The Liar's Club'. 'I was moved and dazzled by the sombre and lively beauty of this book; it is a story of survival and growth beyond all odds; a chronicle of surprising triumphs, written in language that is always itself triumphant.' Mary Gordon, author of 'The Shadow Man.'

RANDLEMAN, N.C. – A man is accused of pointing a gun at a Randolph County deputy, resulting in the deputy shooting and injuring the suspect, according to Randolph County Sheriff Robert Graves.
John Andrew Mudlock, 44, of Randleman, faces charges including resisting a public officer, assault on a law enforcement officer with a firearm and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Deputies were called to a home in the 500 block of Providence Church Road shortly before 11 p.m. Friday, according to Graves.
The caller said the suspect was intoxicated and acting strange and wanted deputies to conduct a welfare check.
A deputy checking the area found the suspect in a garage and the suspect allegedly had a gun pointed at the deputy.
Graves said the deputy told the suspect to put down his gun and when the suspect would not, the deputy fired his gun, hitting the suspect in the lower abdomen. The deputy was not hurt.
Mudlock was treated by emergency responders. He was released from the hospital and jailed under a $250,000 secured bond.
The State Bureau of Investigation is investigating. The deputy involved has been placed on administrative leave.

Q: pyparsing: parse a sentence with special words in it I am trying to write a program with pyparsing that parse all strings contains special words in it. I wrote following code, but it is not working:
from pyparsing import *
word = Word(alphas)
sentence = OneOrMore(word)
day = Literal("day")
sentence_end_with_happy = sentence + day + sentence
ret = sentence_end_with_happy.parseString("hi this is a nice day and everything is ok")

I tried to parse a sentence with special word "day" but it has errors while parsing...

pyparsing.ParseException: Expected "day" (at char 42), (line:1, col:43)

A: Use a negative lookahead when defining word; otherwise, word matches day and sentence will consume it.
from pyparsing import *
day = Keyword("day")
word = ~day + Word(alphas)
sentence = OneOrMore(word)
sentence_end_with_happy = sentence('first') + day + sentence('last')
ret = sentence_end_with_happy.parseString("hi this is a nice day and everything is ok")
print ret['first']
print ret['last']
print ret

Output:
['hi', 'this', 'is', 'a', 'nice']
['and', 'everything', 'is', 'ok']
['hi', 'this', 'is', 'a', 'nice', 'day', 'and', 'everything', 'is', 'ok']

A: pyparsing is throwing exception because it is considering "day" as word in sentence.
In this case, you could use python built-in module string functions.
In [85]: str1 = "hi this is a nice day and everything is ok"
In [86]: str2 = "day"
In [87]: str2_pos = str1.find(str2)
In [88]: str1_split_str2 = [mystr[:str2_pos], mystr[str2_pos:str2_pos+len(str2)], mystr[str2_pos+len(str2):]]

In [89]: str1_split_str2
Out[89]: ['hi this is a nice ', 'day', ' and everything is ok']
