Indivior Announces Health Canada Approval of SUBLOCADE™ (Buprenorphine Extended-Release) Injection for Patients with Moderate to Severe Opioid Use Disorder
Indivior PLC
Nov 23, 2018, 09:56 ET
SUBLOCADE is the first and only once-monthly injectable buprenorphine formulation approved in Canada for the management of moderate to severe opioid use disorder
SLOUGH, England and RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Indivior PLC (LON: INDV) today announced that Health Canada has approved SUBLOCADETM (buprenorphine extended-release) injection for subcutaneous use, for the management of moderate to severe opioid use disorder (OUD) in adult patients who have been inducted and clinically stabilized on a transmucosal buprenorphine-containing product. SUBLOCADE should be used as part of a complete treatment plan that includes counseling and psychosocial support, and must only be administered once a month, subcutaneously in the abdominal region by a healthcare provider1. In Canada, SUBLOCADE will be marketed by Indivior Canada Ltd., and will be available by the second half of 2019.
"We are committed to helping the patients, families and communities impacted by the opioid epidemic around the world," said Shaun Thaxter, Chief Executive Office of Indivior. "The approval of SUBLOCADE in Canada is an important milestone, and we look forward to continuing to partner with the Canadian treatment community to help those with opioid use disorder."
Illicit opioid use in Canada is a national public health crisis that continues to grow, with 3,005 and 3,996 apparent opioid-related deaths in 2016 and 2017 respectively2. From January to March 2018, there were at least 1,036 apparent opioid-related deaths; of these deaths, 94% were accidental and 73% involved fentanyl or fentanyl analogues2. Despite this growing crisis, barriers such as stigma continue to prevent patients from accessing treatment3.
SUBLOCADE, in combination with counseling and psychosocial support, is a once-monthly medication-assisted treatment (MAT) that contains buprenorphine, a mu-opioid receptor agonist. It uses the ATRIGEL® Delivery System and solidifies on contact with bodily fluids to deliver buprenorphine over the one month period2.
In clinical trials, common adverse reactions (≥5% patients) included constipation, nausea, vomiting, headache, fatigue, insomnia, hepatic enzymes increased, and injection site pain and pruritus1. Injection site reactions were reported in 16% of the patients1. None of the injection site reactions were serious and one led to study treatment discontinuation1. SUBLOCADE has a SERIOUS WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS BOX. Serious harm or death could result if administered intravenously1.
This approval from Health Canada follows approval of SUBLOCADE by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on November 30, 2017.

How the Rigged Economics of Meat and Dairy Make You Consume Too Much; How to Eat Better, Live Longer, and Spend Smarter

An Interview with David Robinson Simon author of MEATONOMICS : How the Rigged Economics of Meat and Dairy Make You Consume Too Much; How to Eat Better, Live Longer, and Spend Smarter (reprinted with permission of the publisher)
(Image by Unknown Owner) Details DMCA
What is Meatonomics about?
The book explores the unseen economic forces that drive our animal food system, and the weird ways these forces affect consumers' eating, spending, health, prosperity, and longevity. Among other things, we've lost the ability to decide for ourselves what -- and how much -- to eat. Instead, those decisions are mostly made for us by meat and dairy producers who control our buying choices with artificially low prices, misleading messaging, and heavy control over legislation and regulation.
How do animal food producers keep retail prices artificially low?
By "externalizing" their costs, or imposing them on society. Meatonomics is the first book to add up the massive externalized costs that the animal food system imposes on taxpayers, animals and the environment, and it finds these costs total about $414 billion yearly. With yearly retail sales of around $250 billion, that means that for every $1 of product they sell, meat and dairy producers impose almost $2 in hidden costs on the rest of us. But if producers were forced to internalize these costs, a $4 Big Mac would cost about $11 and a $5 carton of organic eggs would cost $13.
$414 billion is a huge number. Can you explain where these costs come from?
Each year, the animal food industry bills society about $314 billion in healthcare costs, $38 billion in government subsidies, $37 billion in environmental costs, $21 billion in cruelty costs, and $4 billion in costs of fishing. It's bad enough that society has to bear these expenses, but the problems go much deeper than just money. The forces of meatonomics contribute to epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, widespread degradation of land and water resources, and the legal, routine abuse of 60 billion land and marine animals yearly.
Don't all industries externalize some costs? Is the animal food industry really any different?
Other industries externalize costs too, but the animal food industry literally dwarfs all the others. For example, electricity generation, despite its massive burning of coal and petroleum, generates only about one-third the externalized costs of animal foods.
How can economic forces cause health problems like obesity and heart disease?
The artificially low prices of meatonomics encourage Americans to eat twice the meat and dairy they would otherwise. According to hundreds of published studies, this high consumption is responsible for diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Today, two in three Americans are overweight, one in three has heart disease, and one in nine has diabetes. About a third of the costs to treat these diseases is related to animal foods, which is where the estimate of $314 billion in healthcare costs comes from.
But don't people buy animal foods for a lot of reasons besides just their price? Some people like the way these foods taste, and some do it out of simple habit.
It's true there are lots of factors that influence consumption. But studies show that on average, despite all the other factors that influence demand, a 10% move in price causes about a 6.5% move in consumption levels of animal foods. The difference of 3.5% is a reasonable approximation of the influence that other factors, like taste and habit, have on buying decisions.
You said the system generates major environmental costs as well. Can you elaborate?
Factory farming causes widespread environmental damage in the form of air and water pollution, degradation of land, and contribution to climate change. The documented, externalized costs related to these problems total about $37 billion each year. These expenses are for things like fixing leaky manure lagoons, lost productivity of farmland, and devaluation of real estate near factory farms.

Excel's transpose feature is great for changing data in a vertical format to a horizontal format, and from a horizontal format to a vertical format. Excel's transpose, though, creates a static copy of the original data. If the original data changes, the transposed copy does not change.
This may be your desired result, but if you want the transposed copy of the data to update at the same time as the original data changes, there is a way create a transposed copy that changes along with the original data. This will create a "live" transposed copy.
The way to do this is by using an array formula. Check here if you want more information on array formulas. As a quick note, you do need to use CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER when entering an array formula for it to work.
To illustrate how a live transpose in Excel works, take a look at the sample image below. It shows the original table of data that will be the source for the live transpose copy.
Once you decide where you want the live transposed copy of the original data to be placed, you just need to highlight a range of cells that is equal to the transposed version of the original data. Note that it is the opposite size of the original data, since it is a transposed copy.
Therefore, In this example, since the original data is 14 columns wide by 9 rows high,when the data is transposed, its shape will change to be 9 columns wide by 14 columns high.
So you need to select a range that is 9 columns wide by 14 columns high.
Anywhere you click in the range, the formula in the formula bar does not change. It stays the same.
Now, if you change any values in the original data, the transposed version will automatically update to the new value you have entered.
Hopefully, this post has shown you how to use an array formula version of the TRANSPOSE function in Excel to create a "live" transposed version of the original data.
Let me know what you think, or if you have any tips or comments about this method.

Q: Parsing from MySQL database not displaying in Activity I have these two activities in my Android application in which the first one is where the user will enter the asked information (to a edittext) and the other one is where it will send the data (I used putExtra to transfer the data from the 1st activity to the 2nd) to the MySQL database and will later on display results in ListView. The problem is, when the 2nd activity starts (considering that I have already entered something on the first activity) and after the progress dialog shows, there is nothing being displayed, or the results don't appear. But when I tried just starting the second activity (the edittext in the 1st activity is null) it shows the results. I'm not sure if what causes the problem, is on the application or in the PHP file I used in fetching the data?

A: try array_push method in php in your php code
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    //$thisArray[] = $row;
    array_push($thisArray, $row);
}

i think it'll work.
Try it once and check if get this data in android.
It is bad practice to append user input directly to sql query in php like you used '%".$des."%'. It causes SQL Injection Attacks.
Always prefer mysqli_prepare($sql) to avoid SQL Injection Attacks.
UPDATE 1
In SearchResultsActivity.java, try to replace
destination = a.getStringExtra("to");

this line with
destination = a.getExtras().getString("to");
Log.e("tag", " DESTINATION :: " + destination);

And check if you're getting the text from first activity.
UPDATE 2
Never ever forget to catch exceptions you're throwing.
You forgot to catch exception in sendGetRequestParam method. Catch it and print it. So you'll know if there is any error connecting to server.

Bender works in close cooperation with the manufacturers of gantry crane systems to optimize protection against electrical faults and guarantee the safety of the operating personnel. Ground-fault monitoring - Insulation monitoring or residual current monitoring - ensure high levels of safety and availability.
By means of ground-fault monitoring, Bender ensures the highest possible level of safety for people and systems and therefore guarantees a high level of system availability during embarking and disembarking or rather loading and unloading.
Today's recreational marinas are filled with potential electric hazards, such as refrigerators, lighting, and electric boat motors. Ground faults are a leading cause of death, injury, and equipment damage in marinas. Fault current leaking to the water creates a risk of boat corrosion and electric shock drowning (ESD) for people swimming in the water.
Bender's MarinaGuard is the result of years of direct involvement with the marina industry. Continuous monitoring for ground faults helps mitigate the risks to people, boats, and equipment - while providing a simple, streamlined system for technicians and harbor owners to use.


This is the third article of the Storyboards series. Last time, we discussed how to pass data between view controllers with segue. It should be easy, right? Now let's continue to polish our Storyboard project and see how you can create to two other common UI elements in iPhone apps.
If you're new to Storyboards, I suggest you to check out the first tutorial. All the materials discussed in this material are based on the work we've done before.
First, as usual, let's have a brief introduction for Tab Bar Controller and UIWebView. You may not be familiar with the term "Tab Bar" but it's commonly found in most of the iPhone apps. Just take a look at the below sample apps. All of them make use of the Tab Bar controller to display distinct view in each tab. Normally the Tab Bar contains at least two tabs and you're allowed to add up to five tabs depending on your needs.
UIWebView, on the other hand, is a handy component to load web content. In some cases, you want to display a single web page locally in your app or let users access external web pages within your app. You can simply embed the UIWebView object in your app and send it a request to load the web content.
Now back to our Xcode project. Let me first recap what we've done. If you've followed the previous tutorial, you should build a simple recipe app with Navigation interface. It's not completely implemented but just works.
In this tutorial, we're going to polish the app and create a tab bar interface. You may think it'll be difficult and requires a lot of coding. The introduction of Storyboarding feature simplifies everything. It's so easy to embed the navigation controller into a tab bar controller with just point and click.
First, select the "Navigation Controller" in MainStoryboard.storyboard. Then select "Editor" in the menu and choose "Embed in", followed by "Tab Bar Controller".
As you can see from below figure, Xcode automatically puts the navigation controller inside a tab bar controller. Super easy, right? You may think that's trivial. Before Apple introduced the Storyboarding feature, you would need to write code and design a separate NIB in order to embed a navigation controller.
By default, the tab bar item is not named and without an icon. Select the tab item in Navigation Controller. You're free to change the name and specify an icon in the Attributes Inspector. The tab bar item is default to the "custom" identifier. When it's set to custom, that means you have to specify the title and image manually.
It's now ready to test the app. Hit the Run button and see how it looks. The app should be very similar the one we built in the previous tutorial but with the tab bar.
You use tab bar interface to organize your app into distinct modes of operation. Each tab delivers specific functions. Obviously, there are at least two tabs in an app when tab bar controller is used. So we're going to create a new tab for displaying the app's "About" page.
Drag a "Navigation Controller" object into the Storyboard. The default navigation controller is associated with a table view controller. Just leave it as is. We'll change it later.
Next, we have to establish a relationship between the new navigation controller and the existing tab bar controller. Press and hold the "control" key, click the Tab Bar Controller and drag the pointer to the new Navigation Controller.
Release both buttons and a pop-up is displayed. Select the "Relationship – View Controllers" option. This tells Xcode that the new Navigation Controller is a part of Tab Bar Controller.
As soon as the relationship is established, the Tab Bar Controller automatically adds a new tab and associates it with the new Navigation Controller.
Change the tab bar item of the new Navigation Controller to "More". Save the Storyboard and run the app again. Don't you see the new "More" tab?
The "More" tab is now empty. We're going to turn it into a web view for displaying the "About" page of the app. First, delete the "Table View Controller" and replace it with a View Controller. Simply select the "Table View Controller" and click DELETE button to remove it. Then drag the "View Controller" object from Object Library.
As of now, the blank View Controller is not associated with the Navigation Controller. We have to link them up. Press and hold the command key, select the Navigation Controller and drag it towards the View Controller.
Like what we've done earlier, select the "Relationship – View Controllers" option to establish the relationship between both controllers.
The main purpose of this view controller is to render the "About" web page. iOS SDK has a built-in UIWebView object to display web content. You can simply embed the UIWebView object in any view controller. Later you send it a HTTP request and it automatically loads the web content for you. Locate the "Web View" in Object Library and add it into the View Controller.
As explained in previous tutorial, a blank view controller is assigned with the default UIViewController class, that only provides the fundamental view management model. Apparently, it doesn't come with a variable for controlling the UIWebView. Yet we have to create a new View Controller class that extends from the UIViewController.
In the Project Navigator, right-click the "RecipeBook" folder and select "New File…".
Choose "Objective-C Class" under Cocoa Touch as the class template.
Name the class as "AboutViewController" and it's a subclass of "UIViewController". Make sure you uncheck the option of "With XIB for user interface". As we're using Storyboards for designing the user interface, we do not need to create a separate interface builder file. Click "Next" and save the file in your project folder.
Next, assign the view controller with the "AboutViewController". Go back to the Storyboards editor and select the view controller. In the identity inspector, change the class to "AboutViewController".
The UIWebView class allows you to load web content both locally and remotely. You can send it a HTTP request (e.g. http://www.google.com) to load a remote website. Alternatively, you can tell UIWebView to load web pages embed in your app. For this tutorial, we'll put the "about.html" inside our app.
You can create your own about.html. For your convenience, however, download the about.zip, extract it and add all the files into the Xcode project.
If you've forgotten what the interface and implementation are, go back to this tutorial and revisit the concept.
As usual, it's required to establish connection between the "webView" variable and the visual web view. In the Storyboards editor, press & hold the command key and then click the "View Controller" icon, drag it to the Web View object. Release both buttons and a pop-up shows variables for your selection. Choose the "webView" variable.
The UIWebView class provides a convenient method named "loadRequest:" to load web content. What you need to do is to pass it a URL request. Line 5 of the above code returns the system path of the "about.html" in the form of NSURL object. Line 6 creates a NSURLRequest using the URL. Obviously, line 7 sends the request to web view.
Hit the Run button and try out the app. If you got everything correctly, your final deliverable should look like below. When you select the "More" tab, it automatically loads the "about.html".
Storyboarding has streamlined the user interface design of iOS app. As you can see from this tutorial, without a single line of code, you can create a tab bar controller and embed other controllers in the tab items. We've also showed you how to use UIWebView to load web content. UIWebView offers basic function of a mobile browser. Whenever you need to display web page within your app, embed the web view and send it a request.
In the upcoming tutorials, we'll continue to explore other new features of Storyboards. Stay tuned and make sure you leave us comment below if you have any questions.
Update: You can now download the full source code for your reference.

"Rev. Baker professional, funny and did a great awesome job! "
"Reverend Baker leaded our ceremony very well. He was lovely all the time with us he did let us comfortable and our friends there were present at the ceremony. I do recommend!"
"My daughter got married and there was a little girl there being a helper she was phenomenal rev.baker was great i defiantly will tell people about him"
"Best wedding ever. love the ease of setting up the place and time within 3hours. The minister Rev Baker was so professional and prepared.Loved my wedding so so much."
April 5, 2018 Jenn and Mark M.
"We can't say enough positive things about Rev. Baker and his team. We chose to have a private ceremony in our room, but his experience and love for what he does made it the perfect setting. Rev. Baker is warm, flexible and approached our ceremony in a way that added humor and comfort to create a memory that we will cherish for a lifetime. We highly Recommend him and look forward to using him for our renewal in a few years ! A million Thank you Rev. Baker!"


"I'm ecstatic. This is a blessing," Smart said on Friday.
"To be honest, I didn't know where I was gonna end up. I was just enjoying this whole process," he said. "It is a business, so things aren't perfect. That's why it's called negotiations. You guys come together and you finally agree on something. We both agreed. Boston loves me and I love Boston. Boston wants me here and I want to be here.
I am here. So we made it work."
"We demonstrated the talent and ability we had to do that last year with a few missing pieces. With those missing pieces back in action, I think it really makes it hard for teams," Smart said. "I think we have a real shot."
"When you kind of go through adversity and something like this hits you and your family, it kind of puts everything in perspective and everything else kind of becomes a blur to you and really not that important," he said.
"She's hanging in there," Smart said. "This is a hard time. But at the same time, it's an exciting time for my family. So, with the signing, it kind of brings a little joy to a situation and lightens up the situation that was a little darkened for me. ... As of right now, she's doing great."
"I'm just gonna be working on all aspects of my game. The uniqueness about me is I don't do one thing perfectly or great. I do a little bit of everything. That's what makes me so unique. I'm just trying to master a little bit of everything. ... If I could just get better a little bit each year, then I did my job."


The recommended method is the second one (using named pipes), as this method works flawlessly on a multi-user system and is not too hard to set up. This method is also used by the yajhfc-faxprinter package. (Nevertheless, you are also encouraged to use the other ones if they better fit your needs).
This document only describes the first two methods. If you want to try the third one, please download the yajhfc-cups2.tgz tar archive and refer to the included INSTALL file.
NOTE: You can also get all the files mentioned in this document (including this HTML file) by downloading this archive. This is especially recommended if you need to download the files using a Windows computer (as this may screw up the line breaks).
Make sure YajHFC is automatically started when the user logs in.
If you use a desktop environment following the Free Desktop Menu Specification (e.g. GNOME, KDE, XFCE), just create an appropriate .desktop file and put it in the directory ~/.config/autostart (to autostart it for a single user only) or /etc/xdg/autostart (to autostart it for all users).
If you wish, you can use yajhfc-autostart.desktop as a starting point.
If you use a different desktop environment, please refer to its documentation (or Google) to find out how to autostart programs.
Download yajhfc.ppd and save it on your hard disk.
-E -P yajhfc.ppd -o "printer-error-policy=abort-job" -o "printer-is-shared=false"
If you want to know in detail what this command means, please refer to the lpadmin man page.
Now you should have a new printer named yajhfc available. When you print to it and YajHFC is running, the YajHFC send dialog should appear (maybe after a delay of a few seconds).
Download yajhfc.ppd and the CUPS backend file yajhfc and save it on your hard disk.
On some distributions the cups backend directory may be at another place than /usr/lib/cups/backend. In that case, just replace /usr/lib/cups/backend with the appropriate directory name.
Now you should have a new printer named yajhfc available. When you print to it and YajHFC is running, the YajHFC send dialog should appear.


The Brittany (also known as the Brittany Spaniel or Epagneul Breton) is the national dog of France. (Epagneul is a French word given to dogs that point or set their game, while a Breton is from Bretagne or Brittany).
This dog originates from the French province of Bretagne, a rugged peninsula or land surrounded by the English Channel on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. Prior to the invention of firearms, these were a 'drop on point dog', which allowed a net to be cast over both them and the game that was being hunted.
In the 1850s English sportsmen brought with them to Bretagne their sporting guns and well trained pointers and setters, which they bred with the local dogs. These were later crossed with the Braque (a French pointer).
At some point a tailless dog was born. This characteristic was seized upon as a distinctive feature in the breed's early development, and even today some Brittany are born tailless.
Brittany Spaniels will usually live to 12 years, but cared for with the right nutrition can live up to 14 years of age.
The female is usually 13kg and 47cm tall and the male is 16kg and 50cm tall.
Although the Brittany was developed as an active hunting dog, it is also biddable and gentle, and almost placid in nature. Generally very good with children, they make a great family dog.
The breed is characterised by 'the maximum of quality in the minimum of size.' Despite being a small, compact and elegant dog, it is noted for its endurance, stamina and tenacity. Although traditionally a hunting breed, it is required to come out of the field and into the show ring with a minimum of grooming. This breed will hunt all day and be ready to go again and again. Keen, alert and intelligent, the Brittany is overflowing with boundless energy.
The Brittany gets on well with other dogs as they help to keep them entertained, plus provide companionship when its owner is not around. Essentially these dogs were developed and bred to hunt birds and that's exactly what they will do, given the opportunity. However if they are brought up from puppyhood with other pets, they will readily learn to accept them.
Give your dog a brush and a bath as required. Feed a quality balanced diet as this breed is very active and depends on good nutrition to fuel its athletic lifestyle.
If used as working and hunting dogs, Brittany's should be wormed twice as often as normal (i.e. every six weeks). Grass seeds can also present a problem, so paws should be checked regularly.
Prospective owners need to be made aware that this is an extremely active dog which needs a great deal of physical and mental exercise, otherwise it may develop destructive tendencies.

Girls Who Escaped Boko Haram Tell of Horrors in Captivity
Women and girls kidnapped by the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram are raped and forced to marry fighters even if they are underage, according to testimonies from women who have escaped the group.
In its latest report, "Those Terrible Weeks in the Camp: Boko Haram Violence Against Women and Girls in Northeast Nigeria," New York-based Human Rights Watch estimates that the militant group has abducted about 500 women and girls from Northern Nigeria since 2009. Earlier this year Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls from a secondary school in the town of Chibok in the northeast of the country. The mass abduction drew international outrage and sparked a viral social media campaign fuelled by the hashtag #bringbackourgirls. Human Rights Watch spoke to 12 of the 57 of the girls who have escaped; 219 are still missing.
Human Rights Watch explains that Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has taken responsibility for abducting women and girls, and has justified the kidnappings as retaliation for the detention of Boko Haram family members held by the Nigerian government. In a 2012 video, Shekau says: "Since you are now holding our women, just wait and see what will happen to your own women … to your own wives according to Sharia law."
But there's also another motive for the kidnappings: punishing women who seek education. One victim who was kidnapped while traveling home from school in Konduga said that when the militants found out that she and her friends were students they said, "Aha! These are the people we are looking for. So you are the ones with strong heads who insist on attending school when we have said 'boko' is 'haram.' We will kill you here today." Boko Haram's name roughly translates to "Western education is a sin."
The report confirms some of the worst fears about Boko Haram's treatment of the girls they capture, specifically when it comes to sexual violence. According to interviews with survivors, most of the sexual violence and rape occurs within the context of forced marriages, although there are exceptions.
According to the interviews in the report, Boko Haram does not consider any girls too young for marriage. After one 17-year old prisoner complained that she was not yet old enough to marry a Boko Haram commander pointed to his 5-year-old daughter and said, "If she got married last year, and is just waiting till puberty for its consummation, how can you at your age be too young to marry?"
One woman who was raped in 2013 in a Boko Haram camp told Human Rights Watch that other women (specifically wives of Boko Haram leaders) were often complicit in sexual abuse of female prisoners. "I was lying down in the cave pretending to be ill because I did not want the marriage," the woman told the researchers. "When the insurgent who had paid my dowry came in to force himself on me, the commander's wife blocked the cave entrance and watched as the man raped me."
Another girl was only 15 when she was forcibly married off to a Boko Haram commander after her abduction in 2013. "After we were declared married I was ordered to live in his cave but I always managed to avoid him," the girl told Human Rights Watch. "He soon began to threaten me with a knife to have sex with him, and when I still refused he brought out his gun, warning that he would kill me if I shouted. Then he began to rape me every night. He was a huge man in his mid-30s and I had never had sex before. It was very painful and I cried bitterly because I was bleeding afterwards."
The report cites numerous other reports of women being sexually assaulted by Boko Haram militants; some were raped within context of a forced marriage, others for being Christian, another was attacked for a perceived slight against the militants. The report acknowledges, however, that the group's leaders did make some effort to protect kidnapped girls from random sexual abuses outside the context of "marriage."
Human Rights Watch notes that rapes by Boko Haram are severely under-reported, largely due to the stigma around sexual abuse and the loss of virginity that sometimes occurs during the rapes in the conservative northeastern part of the country.
The report also delves into some of the specifics of the kidnapping of the Chibok schoolgirls, thanks to testimony from 12 girls who escaped. The escaped girls said that Boko Haram did not discriminate based on religion when they abducted the schoolgirls, and took both Christian and Muslim girls. They said that they believe the militants were originally after the school's brick-making machine, and only decided to kidnap the girls once they realized they were unguarded — the principal, teachers, administrators were not on campus, and the only guard, an elderly man, had fled. One girl described the night Boko Haram arrived: "Two men told us we should not worry, we should not run. They said they had come to save us from what is happening inside the town, that they are policemen. We did not know that they were from Boko Haram. The rest of the men came and started shouting 'Allahu Akbar' and at that moment we realized, they were Boko Haram. We were told to be quiet. One of them told us that the horrible things we heard happening elsewhere, like burning houses, killing people, killing students, kidnapping people, would happen to us now. We all started crying and he told us to shut up."
Another woman at the camps told Human Rights Watch she saw some of the Chibok schoolgirls forced to work for other women who were selected for "special treatment because of their beauty."
The report also specifies that of all the girls who have escaped from Boko Haram interviewed by Human Rights Watch, only the Chibok schoolgirls have received any kind of state-sponsored medical aid or counseling. But one Chibok schoolgirl says the aid they received was more like a religious sermon, which is not what she needs.
"I just want someone who will listen to me and help me to stop the fear that takes over my mind when I think of my sisters (school mates) who are still with Boko Haram," the girl told Human Rights Watch. "I am so afraid for them. Why can't the government bring them back?"

The American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition, an umbrella group of 18 textile associations, has announced its opposition to the Central America Free Trade Agreement and called for a moratorium on it and other FTAs now under negotiation.
AMTAC officials said such a moratorium should also include legislation aimed at further liberalizing existing preferential trade arrangements with all other countries and regions such as the African and Middle East trade liberalization initiatives being pushed by Congress and the Bush administration.
"We are extremely alarmed at the rapid disintegration of our manufacturing base resulting in part from past trade liberalization agreements and legislation," AMTAC said in a statement.
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick and Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman announced the completion of negotiations for the new Central American Free Trade Agreement with Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras on Dec. 17.
A number of commodity organizations have indicated they will support the agreement, which must be ratified by Congress.
But AMTAC officials complained that CAFTA will increase the trade deficit, destroy U.S. manufacturing jobs, result in the loss of U.S. marketshare for domestic manufacturers, and encourage illegal transshipping.
"Instead of trying to figure out how the United States can decrease its already devastating trade deficit (an expected $550 billion in 2003), the government is once again proposing a trade deal that will make it even higher. Make no mistake, the U.S. government's trade policy of maximizing the trade deficit has got to stop," said AMTAC Co-Chair George Shuster, CEO of Cranston Print Works of Cranston, R.I.
"Instead of negotiating a flawed CAFTA, the United States ought to have been sitting down with China and hammering out a comprehensive textile bilateral agreement to slow the surge of job-destroying Chinese imports. After quotas expire in 2005, China is expected to quickly capture 75 percent U.S. marketshare and at least 45 percent world marketshare. Not only will this displace 630,000 U.S. textile and apparel workers, but an additional 30 million textile and apparel manufacturing workers from around the world will lose their jobs if the China problem is not addressed," Tantillo added.
Specifically on textiles, CAFTA includes several provisions that will displace U.S. yarn and fabric exports to the Central American countries, he said. These provisions include cumulation, tariff preference levels, and other rule of origin loopholes.
A cumulation rule of origin exception would allow apparel manufacturers in CAFTA countries to use Mexican and Canadian yarn and fabric and still receive duty-free treatment when they export their products to the United States. This rule would discourage Central American manufacturers from buying U.S. yarn and fabric.
The deal also grants tariff preference levels to Nicaragua. Tariff preference levels significantly damage U.S. textile and apparel industry by allowing CAFTA countries to buy yarns, fabrics and other apparel components from low-cost countries like China that do not have free trade agreements with the United States; use those parts in assembling apparel; and export the finished goods made of non-CAFTA and non-U.S. components to the United States duty free.
In addition, the CAFTA deal carves out an exception that allows Central American countries to manufacture certain products made from non-U.S. components and ship them to the United States duty free in unlimited amounts. The products covered by this loophole will only have to undergo a single-step process of assembly. For example, China could supply 100 percent of the components for a product, have the product assembled in Central America, and then export the product in unlimited quantities to the United States duty free.
"Simply put, cumulation, TPLs and other rule-of-origin loopholes allow for non-CAFTA signatories to receive duty-free treatment for products exported to the United States using their components at the expense of U.S. manufacturers," said Tantillo.
AMTAC also believes that cumulation will encourage illegal textile transshipping, making it likely that significant amounts of illegal Chinese components would be used in the production of Central American apparel that would then be shipped to the United States duty free.
Recent press reports have said that Mexican industry leaders estimate that contraband accounts for 60 percent of the country's $16 billion domestic clothing industry. Chinese goods are said to account for the vast majority of the illegal imports.


Many business leaders understand digital as putting things online that were offline before (to save cost or to enable customer's self service capabilities). Others consider it just the latest management buzz word but like to play around a bit with fancy projects or websites.
Understanding digital as something you can just add on top of your business is a fundamental error of thought.
The other side of digital however – less deductive for established businesses but far more powerful – is to truly embrace digital and make it part of your corporate DNA. This is what the hybrid strategy is all about.
Relational businesses are businesses that depend and focus on establishing long-term relationships with their customers for which high quality, a service culture, customized solutions go without saying. Typically these are service- or advisory-driven businesses such as hotels, travel agencies, B2B- or high item value sales units, advisory companies of any kind, or, a case that I just completed; wealth managers and private banks.
Not being digital simply means, not being customer focused anymore.
Many businesses have tried adding digital elements to their value proposition, such as self-service booking systems, playful apps, cool looking websites, online calculators, you name it. What was wrong with quite many of those projects was that the result of such efforts lead to a cluttered customer experience that clearly felt like the parts did not belong together.
What a relational business really should do is to blend digital into every aspect of the existing business. I call this the hybrid strategy, a universal recipe of how to make "digital" a genuine part of any relational business.
The hybrid strategy means to blend digital into every aspect of your business to create a new DNA.
The core idea of the hybrid strategy is to leverage the existing strengths while blending them with digital technology to create a new DNA. This requires a process of strategic transformation.
The core of it all must be an entirely customer focused value proposition. Its role really can't be underestimated, in many ways it actually takes up the role of a corporate vision. The value proposition not only serves as guiding light, it also assures that the outcome of the transformation will really create value for customers and business.
The value proposition can serve as both a blue print as well as a corporate vision.
Creating such a value proposition for an existing, relational business is quite a complex process: The challenge is that it mustn't result in the single-focused minimum viable product that you would find in your typical startup; such a reduced MVP may appeal to your typical VC, but it would neglect essential value creating elements and hence put existing business at risk. An existing, relational business requires a value proposition (and hence MVP) with more aspects and angles to it that reflect the true nature of a business' particular customer value creation. I will elaborate more on this topic in another post.
But if you do it right, in the end something entirely new can emerge out of this process: A new business, which has inherited the strengths of the past and yet for which digital has become a true part of its DNA.
Don't give up any of your strengths but on the contrary; become aware of them, focus on them and then enrich them with the power of digital technology.
The hybrid strategy is actually a universal approach of how to make digital a genuine part of any traditional, relational business. Enriching the relational essence of a business with the power of digital technology is a tremendously powerful tool. It can create and maintain the value creation for the customers and hence for the business. But in order to do so, a business will need the willingness and courage to truly transform into something new.
You will recognize your legacy in the new business, but you must still let go the past.
A hybrid is a new instance in its own right. In business terms: It's not the stupid addition of digital to an existing business, it's what results after a transformation process of blending digital into the DNA.
Don't let yourself fool by the tempting idea that a digital strategy is something that you can outsource to a consultancy or even into a corporate venture or a startup that you acquire: As a business leader it's your job to do the thinking about how you can enrich and transform your identity with a digital value proposition.
The ideas might come from the outside, but the transformation must be driven from the inside.
A general observation is though, that for most businesses the result of this transformation shouldn't be a purely digital identity, nor should it be "digital pockets" within, on top or aside of your business.
The world is not online or offline. It is essentially both, at the same time!
Your customers are hybrid beings.
So you have to become one, too.
After this transformation, your relational business will have become a hybrid business that is both entirely at home in the physical as well as in the digital space, and anywhere in-between.
I recently completed a case of such a transformation with Leodan, a private bank for which I did strategy, business development and acted as CDO a.i. With them we went so far as to actually position the bank as the "first hybrid private bank".

There are literally thousands of anecdotal stories into the benefit of the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP) as a treatment for autoimmune disease. But until recently, there was no scientific research to back up these claims. That changed with the publication of this study. 15 patients with active IBD (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) transitioned to the paleo autoimmune protocol. Result? 73% achieved remission. In this podcast, I interview Dr. Gauree Konijeti, gastroenterologist and lead researcher, and Angie Alt, the lead AIP coach for the group.
Last chance to order AIP Thanksgiving Simplified. The last day to order is 11/14/17.
Dr. Gauree Konijeti is the Director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program Division of Gastroenterology at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, California. It was a patient who introduced her to the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP). He had severe ulcerative colitis that dramatically improved with AIP. A colonoscopy showed that his ulcers had completely healed. Dr. Konijeti has always had an interest in research. That same patient referred her to Autoimmune Wellness for more information, where she reached out to Angie Alt to collaborate on a medical study.
Angie Alt is the author of The Alternative Autoimmune Cookbook and co-author of The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook. She has taught the AIP to over 1,500 people through her online group coaching program: SAD to AIP in SIX. She led a similar class for the group involved in this medical study. To learn more about Angie, you can listen to her personal healing story in episode 1 of this podcast.
IBD stands for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. It's a category of autoimmune disease, and there are 2 types: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC). Ulcerative colitis is isolated to the colon and only attacks the mucosal layer. Crohn's disease can affect the entire GI tract, and attacks multiple layers.
The most common symptoms for both are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. Other symptoms include weight loss and vitamin deficiencies.
The gold standard for diagnosis is a endoscopy/colonoscopy, but a complete health history and ruling out infections that can mimic IBD are important, too.
In conventional medicine, they are often treated with similar medications. TNFa-inhibitors are systemic immunosuppressants used with many autoimmune diseases. Anti-integrins are designed to stop inflammatory cells from reaching the gut. But there are some new medications being approved for just one or the other, for differentiated treatment.
IBS (which is often confused with IBD) stands for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which is a collection of symptoms which can coincide with IBD but also exists outside of that diagnosis. In this study, the patients had IBD specifically. Common IBS symptoms include abdominal pain, constipation, bloating and diarrhea, but not usually bleeding. Your general physician can order a calprotectin stool test and a CRP blood test, both of which track inflammation in the body and can help differentiate between IBD and IBS.
15 patients participated: 9 with Crohn's; 6 with UC.
They all had active IBD, validated through endoscopy/colonoscopy. Average disease duration was 20 years.
Most were on medication, but the drugs weren't achieving remission. The patients continued their medication during the study, doing the AIP as a complementary treatment.
Angie led them through a transition diet modeled after her program SAD to AIP in SIX. This was followed by a 5 week maintenance program (after they had fully transitioned to AIP).
To measure outcomes, they did follow-up endoscopies/colonoscopies. They also tracked inflammation markers through blood and stool tests, as well as quality-of-life surveys.
Results: 73% achieved clinical remission.
They also gathered information related to microbiome changes and gene expression, and they're analyzing that data now.
In addition to Angie, the SAD to AIP coaching team includes 3 other health & nutrition coaches. For this study they added one additional team member: Registered Dietitian, Amy Kubal.
They created special recommendations for anyone in the group who was currently in an IBD flare: (1) well cooked vegetables instead of raw, (2) smaller portion sizes of vegetables, (3) lean, skinless meats rather than fatty meats, (4) prioritizing soups and stews which are easy to digest, (5) choosing avocado and olive oil rather than satured fats, and (5) avoiding coconut products. Note: These recommendations are specifically to address the diarrhea common during IBD flares; they aren't typical AIP recommendations for everyone with autoimmune disease. As people with IBD begin to heal, they slowly transition off these recommendations.
Angie wasn't surprised at the 73% remission rate. After working with thousands of people, she'd seen enough success to anticipate positive results, but it was very validating to have a scientific study capture this effect.
This medical study is part of a growing body of research showing the potential benefit of dietary interventions for IBD. Her fellow gastroenterologists are very interested, but don't know how to integrate this knowledge into their practice. Appointment times are short, resources are limited, and patients would need skilled education and support. Ideally, there would be a dietitian on staff trained in the protocol, who could then train the patients. Angie recently helped develop an AIP Certified Coach program. The book, Unconventional Medicine by Chris Kresser, provides a template for a collaborative practice model.
An anti-inflammatory diet as treatment for inflammatory bowel disease: a case series report.
Low-FODMAP diet reduces irritable bowel symptoms in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
She's in conversation with Scripps Clinic, where she leads their IBD program. She would like to expand to an integrative medicine model that addresses diet and lifestyle in addition to standard medical therapies. Not only does she believe this is the best way to help patients, but it would also provide the infrastructure to complete ongoing research.
She would love to do larger studies involving more patients. She would also like to isolate factors to see which part of the AIP is the most influential in remission. And she's also interested in whether the diet can replace medication in some cases. There are lots of avenues to explore.
Dr. Gauree Konijeti is accepting new patients at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, CA. When you call, ask for her scheduler, Natisha.
You can keep up with Angie Alt's work through her website Autoimmune Wellness.

Columbia Law School Red Water Report
Response to Columbia Law School Red Water Report - April 2019
BSR Report "In Search of Justice – Pathways to Remedy at the Porgera Gold Mine"
Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick") and Barrick (Niugini) Limited ("BNL"), the operator of the Porgera Mine in Papua New Guinea, welcome the release of the "In Search of Justice – Pathways to Remedy at the Porgera Gold Mine" report, authored by the non-profit organization, Business for Social Responsibility ("BSR").
[Download the Summary Report or the Complete Report.]
BSR was commissioned by Barrick and BNL in June 2017 in an effort to help enhance access to remedy for people living in the communities surrounding the Porgera Mine, located in Enga, a remote Province of Papua New Guinea. The BSR team was led by Dr. Margaret Jungk, former chair of the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights, and Bennett Freeman, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.
The companies appreciate the very thoughtful and detailed approach taken by BSR during their study, which involved in-person consultations with a wide range of local, national and international stakeholders over the course of 12 months, with a focus on the needs of those seeking to raise and resolve grievances. The result is a comprehensive set of findings and recommendations aimed at addressing the complex and unique challenges that exist in the Porgera context.
Importantly, the report contains recommendations not only to the mine but to the other actors that should be involved to help improve remedy pathways in Porgera. This includes the Porgera community itself, local and international civil society representatives, and the Government of Papua New Guinea. In doing so, the report highlights the social and technical complexity that underpins the resolution of grievances at Porgera and affirms the importance of establishing a supportive and effective ecosystem for rights-holders in the first place.
The companies recognize that the challenges associated with addressing grievances and allegations of harm in Porgera are substantial and that significant barriers exist for those seeking redress. However, we are also convinced that closer cooperation between the mine, Government stakeholders, and the community may help overcome many of these barriers.
We believe that the completion of the "In Search of Justice" report is an important step in helping inform the mine's response to address grievances arising from the operation of the Porgera Mine. The report also provides valuable insights to guide steps that other stakeholders can take to help improve remedy pathways and outcomes for the communities of the Porgera Valley.
Consistent with BSR's recommendation, BNL will begin to develop a plan that is responsive to the report. In the coming weeks, the company will be seeking to engage meaningfully with other stakeholders in preparing an action plan to address the recommendations identified by the BSR researchers. These consultations will include discussions with rights-holders and their representatives about the structure and implementation of proposed company responses. It will also involve engagement with relevant Government authorities, given how central they are in the process. BNL intends to finalize that plan before the end of the year.
Barrick and BNL remain committed to respecting the rights of individuals and communities impacted by our respective operations. Because of this, both Barrick and BNL will continue to assess and try to improve not only our grievance mechanisms, but our wider interaction and engagement with communities and other important stakeholders where we operate. The BSR work is an important step in that process in the Porgera Valley.
Barrick (Niugini) Limited ("BNL") is a company incorporated in Papua New Guinea, and operates the Porgera Gold Mine in Enga Province on behalf of the Porgera Joint Venture partners. BNL is an independently managed company and is jointly owned through an equal partnership between Barrick Gold and Zijin Mining Group. The Porgera Gold Mine employs over 2,500 Papua New Guineans, and over the life of the mine it has contributed approximately 10% of Papua New Guinea's total annual exports.

Tinubu is Buhari's successor, Adamu declares
Senator Abdullahi Adamu, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has declared that the party's presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is President Muhammadu Buhari's successor.
He made the declaration at the North West Presidential Campaign rally of the APC in Kaduna on Tuesday.
Senator Adamu said the flood of human beings that attended the rally showed the popularity of the party.
"Let me introduce our next president, that's President Buhari's successor, to you, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. By February 25, 2023, you should all come out en masse to vote for Tinubu and all candidates of APC," he said.

I have vision for a peaceful, prosperous Nigeria — Tinubu
He further thanked party loyalists from Zamfara, Katsina, Kano, Jigawa, Sokoto and Kaduna for coming out in huge numbers to attend the rally.
In his remarks, Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna said the APC had set the standard with the large crowd as he thanked all those that came out to grace the occasion, particularly women and youths.
Earlier on Monday, Tinubu vowed to end banditry and killings if elected president.
He said this when he paid a courtesy visit to the Emir of Birnin Gwari, Alhaji Jibril Mai Gwari.
He equally promised to construct industrial dams for the people to ease their water problem, saying he will do his best to make Nigeria a better place, even though it will be difficult.
He donated N50 million to the victims of banditry in the local government area.
"We will give you peace, for those who have been victims of security problem, may Allah grant those who passed Aljannatul firdausi (paradise).
" I stand before you because there is a good opportunity coming, the election is nearer; I don't know whether bandits know that or not, but we will serve them notice again. We will not relent in our effort to eliminate banditry and killings in Nigeria. I assure you it will be our priority," he said.

"Ken Ham, one of the most in-demand conference speakers worldwide, has visited with people in many different countries on several continents, and he has found that people everywhere still have many things in common. One of these similarities is still the need for a Savior. Yes, the gospel is still preached around the world, but a part of the gospel has been cut out, causing problems. People are hearing a message, and there may be an enthusiasm for awhile, but true salvation does not seem to be taking hold in most of these lives. Find out what's missing, and how to deliver a full, effective gospel message."
