The Video Department at JamesDugan expanded to incorporate an internship this summer and couldn't be happier with our temporary addition! Meet Sam, our Video Editing Assistant Intern!
Q. What are you going to school for?
A. I'm a third year student at MSUM (Minnesota State University Moorhead) for Film Production.
Q. What got you interested in Video Editing and Production?
A. Growing up, I always loved movies and TV shows but I never thought about trying to do it myself. Towards the end of high school, my friends and I had a lot of fun working together on a couple video assignments from various classes. One of those friends was considering MSUM for their film program and told me that I should check it out too and here I am today. He ended up going to a different school so I'm lucky to know they had a film program. Let alone to actually be attending there.
A. I like activities and hobbies that I can sink my free time and effort into. Working towards being better at something I love doing is super rewarding; whether it be learning guitar or piano, bowling, playing difficult games like Dota 2 with friends, or helping people with their films at school. I also like to take it easy and watch bad movies on Netflix and spend time with my friends.
Q. What is your goal when you finish school?
A. Originally my dream was to make a living working in film or television out in L.A. I still think that would be amazing to do, but more and more I realized that I would be happier to stay in the Midwest and work in advertising or marketing of some sort. The time I've spent here at JamesDugan has cemented that desire since I've gotten more of a feel for what it's like to do video professionally and commercially and not just for fun or for school.
Q. What's the most interesting thing you've gotten to do at JamesDugan, or something interesting the JD video team has taught you?
A. I really enjoy being an assistant editor for Home Ideas. In terms of editing it's not too different from what I've already been doing at school but it's super cool to be able to help and work on something that will be aired on TV. All of the guys on the team have taught me a lot about the commercial video production process; from concepting, to shooting, editing, and the final distribution. To be specific, I've been really interested in all that Ryan has been teaching me about animation and motion graphics. He's good at explaining everything and has tons of experience in the field.
Q. Advice for anyone interested in the same field?
A. My advice to anyone considering a career in video is just to get out there and get experience. Experience is the most useful thing to have in this field because it's really valuable to know what you need to do, how to do it, and how to solve any problems that arise. I'm going to school because I felt like I didn't know a lot about video production and wanted the expertise of the staff and resources the school provides.
Q. What has been your favorite part about your internship so far?
A. My favorite part about the internship so far is probably just the internship itself. Working at JamesDugan has been fantastic for me as everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Being around the video production guys and their wealth of knowledge has benefitted me greatly and has showed me what to expect after I graduate and has prepared me for the future. It's very fulfilling to finally be doing what I love to do in a professional capacity.
At JamesDugan, we love having the opportunity to help individuals develop new skills or sharpen existing ones and gain experience in what they're passionate about. For more information on our internships or to apply for an internship opportunity email info@jamesdugan.com today.

Flu shot lands man in hospital, unable to speak, walk, see or even BREATHE

(Natural News) This true story of a flu shot landing a man in the hospital is going viral via InfoWars.com:
A Las Vegas man lost his vision, became partially paralyzed and has been unable to breathe without assistance since getting a flu shot last month.
Shane Morgan and his wife Monique decided to get flu shots on November 2, believing it would help protect them and young family members ahead of the busy holiday season.
But what they thought was a pro-active measure turned to horror when Shane began losing feeling in his arms and legs.
"About 36-hours after he got the flu shot he started to get sick," Monique explained to KSNV.
"I never dreamed that any of this could ever happen," Shane told local media.
A Las Vegas Man lost his ability to walk, speak & see days after getting the #FluShot Doctors diagnosed him w/ Guillain-Barre syndrome a.k.a GBS. His family says the Flu shot triggered it & the CDC confirms a link, calling it extremely rare. Tune into @News3LV @ 6 for more. pic.twitter.com/TUNTBB1JJe
— Gabby Hart (@GabbyNews3LV) December 1, 2018
Doctors at Centennial Hills Hospital diagnosed Shane with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a known vaccine adverse reaction characterized by the CDC as an "autoimmune disorder in which a person's own immune system damages the nerves, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis."
Monique blames the flu shot for triggering the adverse reaction, which has left Shane in need of a ventilator and a feeding tube.
"It's the last time anyone in my family will ever get one," she said, adding Shane would rather have the flu "ten to one" than suffer the debilitating disorder.
Despite Shane's horrific vaccine injury, a Nevada health official interviewed by KSNV still encouraged people to get the flu shot, saying Guillain-Barré Syndrome is a "rare" condition.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome, or GBS, has also been reported in patients who received the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine, Gardasil (HPV), and M-M-R II injections, to name a few.
A GoFundMe page has been created seeking donations to help the Morgan family.

Real Madrid heap more misery on Adams A weakened Real Madrid, minus the resting Cristiano Ronaldo, thrashed Tony Adams' already-relegated Granada 4-0.
Madrid remain behind Barcelona in LaLiga by virtue of an inferior head-to-head record, but have a game in hand, meaning matches at home to Sevilla and away at Celta Vigo - both teams who have beaten Zidane's men this season - are likely to be pivotal to the outcome of the title race.
Striker Morata feels the victory was a display of the squad's depth.
Madrid also play the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid midweek.
Atletico Madrid and Monaco will attempt to overturn daunting first-leg deficits in the Champions League semi-finals this week and publicly they insist they can pull off the improbable.
"I don't think about my own personal achievements, I want to win LaLiga and the Champions League as every other player in the squad does, it is going to be a very hard end to the season but we know if we win every match then we will be champions in two competitions", he continued. We know there are players who feature less but you can sense we are never less than fully dedicated.
And Casemiro said: "There are no easy games".
"Right-back? Lucas will play at centre-back in principle and we're still debating the best option for the right-hand side: it'll be a youngster or one of the midfielders".
Marshalled by veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, Juventus have conceded just two goals in the Champions League this season and offered Monaco's free-scoring attack hardly a sniff last week.
Neymar was in sensational form in his second game back from suspension and nudged Barcelona ahead in the 21st minute after pouncing on a deflected pass from Messi.
"Real Madrid are at another level to us, they've got some fantastic players but we gave it to them too easily in the first-half", said Adams.
Kim's wife said her husband had been teaching agricultural techniques at Pyongyang University for Science and Technology. A South Korean foreign affairs official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the ministry was "told by the U.S.
In addition to already-announced changes to education funding, the measures appeared to be a bid to return the economy to surplus. The government expects the airport, scheduled to open in 2020, to create 20,000 jobs by 2030 and 60,000 in the longer term.
Like his counterpart in the Barcelona dugout, Fran Escriba does not have many fitness issues to deal with either. In his field, Luis Enrique's team scored 42 points in 17 meetings, scoring 56 and conceding 14 goals.
She answered: "I don't think any government can ever promise that no bill is going to go up year on year". The prime minister would not be drawn on whether some cabinet ministers opposed the price cap policy.
Usually, Dove features actual women in their ads but this time, they used their actual products to try and make a point. The line, meant to "spread beauty confidence", contains six different shapes and sizes for different body types.
More than once, the Jazz passed up an open look simply to throw it back outside and get a halfcourt set started. George Hill was left out in the rain, Rudy Gobert was a little rusty, but the problem was the problem itself.
According to reports, the Marseille-born defender will continue his career wearing the Real Madrid jersey. Bet: Granada will not lose more than 3 balls - F1 (+3).
The core of the Paris deal was an agreement between Chinese President Xi Jinping and then United States president Barack Obama . Under the agreement, the USA pledged to cut its greenhouse gas emission by 26 to 28 percent from 2005 levels by 2025.
A police report states that Howard was pulled over for speeding, traveling at 95 miles per hour in a 65 miles per hour zone. Howard averaged 13.5 points per game this past season with his hometown Hawks, his lowest average since his rookie season.
That is a shame, because the bump in the price to the 128GB OnePlus 3T was very reasonable. One of those specs is the storage , which tops out at 128GB on the 3T.
The request for more troops comes as the United States considers increasing its military presence in the country. Two U.S Army Rangers were however killed in the same raid by what officials believe was friendly fire.
Even so, Day remained impressed by what he had heard about Romo's round. "That's the same thing in broadcasting", he continued. Day's friend and fellow Australian David Lutterus competed alongside Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, in the U.S.
Warmbier was arrested over the alleged theft of a propaganda poster and charged with "hostile acts against the DPRK". He told CNN he was president of a trade and hotel services company in Rason, North Korea.
A warning was issued on Tuesday to residents in Mpumalanga, northern South Africa after five lions escaped from the Kruger National Park (KNP).
Police on Monday announced the arrest of a 23-year-old suspect in connection to the Serial Street Shooter case in Arizona in 2016. Police believe he committed eight other murders between August 2015 and July 2016 but he has not been charged in those shootings.

The opening of the AEX is pending before the US elections
Herb Brewer November 8, 2022 3 min read
(ABM FN-Dow Jones) The Amsterdam stock market is expected to open more or less neutral on Tuesday. Investors await today's US midterm election results.
On Monday, the AEX had a positive start to the trading week, up 0.6 percent at 676.06 points. On Wall Street, the benchmark S&P 500 closed Monday evening 1.0 percent in the green after a hesitant start.
In midterm elections, scheduled between presidential elections, Americans elect a new House of Representatives and a new Senate, which together make up Congress. Democrats still hold majorities in both chambers and gains for Republicans could undermine President Joe Biden's influence. The general belief among investors is that a Republican victory would be good for financial markets.
"Investors are counting on Republicans to take back the House of Representatives," RBC Capital Markets analyst Lori Galvacina told CNBC. According to Galvacina, the only real boost to stock markets is if Republicans also hold a majority in the Senate.
America's purchasing power has been under pressure for more than a year and a half due to high inflation, and political analysts say this could be a deciding factor at the polls.
In 17 of the 19 midterm elections since 1946, the stock market has done better in the six months after the election than in the six months before, according to analysts at stockbroker Charles Schwab. According to analysts at Deutsche Bank, this trend is visible even for a century.
Historically, the president's party loses elections during midterms. This often creates political gridlock in the last two years of a presidency and makes it more difficult to get effective legislation through Congress. It provides predictability and generally benefits stock markets.

Stock markets in Tokyo and Seoul are trading in the green this morning with gains of more than one percent. In China, on the other hand, investors have slowed after a sharp rally in recent trading days, fueled by rumors that strict corona measures may be eased. However, government agencies are against this.
U.S. oil futures fell to $91.32 a barrel this morning after falling nearly one percent Monday night in New York. The EUR/USD currency pair is trading flat this morning.
Meanwhile, investors are already looking ahead to the October release of US inflation, due on Thursday, which could have a major impact on the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy and the prospects for a year-end rally. Inflation in the US was 8.2 percent on an annual basis in September.
Inflation in the Netherlands was 14.3 percent year-on-year in October, the statistics office said this morning, after an inflation rate of 14.5 percent in September. The big difference with US inflation is mainly due to higher European energy prices and an expensive dollar, which translates into inflation for Europe but deflation for the US.

A couple weeks ago I was having lunch with a friend, who is new to the social media addiction, and I am going to explain to her how I can help her to raise her profile online because she is, after all the best in her field. No joke. But she has no voice out there…just some great Google search results thanks to her stellar clients over the years. But I am telling her on this gorgeous day, sitting outside at Cheesecake Factory in Redondo Beach, that she needs to get going with social media! She is not clueless but just hasn't taken any steps beyond a Facebook account at this point.
I am taking her through my list and, as is always the case, Twitter is bit tougher to explain as valuable…but I believe so I do my best. Then it happens…US Air has an emergency landing on New York's Hudson River (which used to be my view when I lived in Battery Park city, but I digress) and I receive a tweet about it from my friend and PR guru @Skydiver at 12:56 pm PST. I share the news and we have a moment of sadness because we naturally and unfortunately assume the plane has crashed and everyone has died.
Then tweets continue to come through with news of ferries as first responders and possible survivors. Then OMG a tweet announces they think all the passengers and crew are alive! We shriek in celebration which scares our server, who has not heard about the incident at all yet. This goes on for nearly an hour.
At 1:50 pm PST I finally recieve a tweet from CNN reporting the incident. My friend is compeltely impressed by the power of Twitter at this point! As am I. Pretty cool, huh?
Go forth and tweet my friends – oh and follow me @LedgeDancer.

Reward offered after shooter targets MT delivery driver
By Nick Morgan of the Mail Tribune
The publisher of the Mail Tribune and the Ashland Tidings is offering a $1,000 reward after a newspaper carrier reported she was shot at by a motorist while she was in the middle of making deliveries in the Sams Valley area.
Candy Greb of Medford, who was on her route with her 2-year-old in the backseat, reported she was followed and harassed by a motorist driving a compact pickup truck, which escalated to the truck honking and a gunshot being fired shortly after 1:30 a.m. Friday in the 1600 block of Rogue River Drive.
"It could have ended a lot worse," said Greb, who added that no one was hurt.
Greb said she was in the early stages of her shift when she noticed a pickup following her with its bright lights on near the intersection of Ironwood and Rogue River drives. She described the vehicle as "driving around all weird" — at one point stopping in the middle of the road before turning onto a side road.
Greb said she initially thought the driver might have been under the influence, or at least acting suspicious, so she pulled over on Rogue River Drive and called the Jackson County Sheriff's Office because something didn't look right.
In the middle of her report to dispatch, the truck reappeared near the 1600 block of Rogue River Drive. Despite giving the truck ample room to pull around her while she called-in her report, the truck stayed behind her vehicle and honked its horn.
"I heard a gunshot and she (the dispatcher) told me to drive," Greb said.
Jackson County Sheriff's Office public information officer Mike Moran confirmed that the dispatcher heard the apparent gunshot; however, sheriff's deputies have yet to find a casing or other evidence of a shooting.
"She's pretty sure it was a gunshot," Moran said, adding that Greb told sheriff's deputies she has some familiarity with firearms.
The dispatcher stayed with Greb on the line until she could meet with a sheriff's deputy about 1:40 a.m. Friday morning near the area of Highway 62 and Hammel Road.
Greb had minimal information about the vehicle involved, other than that it was a truck.
Greb said she's been run off the road while working the Sams Valley route for the past year, but she's never been shot at before.
"I'm sure for someone who doesn't know what I'm doing, it looks odd," Greb said.
Gail Whiting, associate publisher of Mail Tribune parent company Rosebud Media, said the company "takes this very seriously."
"The safety of our carriers is critical," Whiting said.
Greb said she was about six papers into her route in the Sams Valley area. After Greb contacted police, a male carrier went out and assisted her with the remainder of her roughly 80-paper route.
Rosebud Media CEO and Publisher Steven Saslow said the Mail Tribune will offer a $1,000 reward for any tips that lead to an arrest and the filing of charges in the shooting.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Jackson County Sheriff's Office at 541-776-7206, ask for Deputy Brent Hegdahl and reference JCSO Case No. 20-3773.

History of Marwood Parish,
in Teesdale, County Durham...
The History of Marwood
Marwood village is mentioned in the Life of St. Cuthbert, written in 1050AD which indicates Marwood's existence in 990AD and 850AD. At these earlier times it may represent either an estate centre or a village. Following 1050AD the site is referred to only as a deer park. The confusion of the site with that of the known Anglo-Saxon village of the same name may have arisen from the fact that the original parish of Marwood was much larger and included the area now occupied by Barnard Castle. It would appear likely therefore that the original Anglo-Saxon Marwood is beneath modern Barnard Castle.
Barnard at the time in question Bernard's Castle was built "on the height of Marwood" There being no town in existence in the early part. It is likely that trees were at Marwood as the end of the name suggests this from Anglo Saxon times.
Marwood Parish Council boarders in the town of Barnard Castle Co Durham. This serves both the Rural and Urban area namely the east end of Barnard Castle including High Riggs and Castle Vale Estate.

Omiyage Blogs: Tim Gallo's Tokyo "Sa"
I stumbled across Tim Gallo's series of Tokyo photo books and just had to share. Entitled - Tokyo "Sa" - Gallo's photo's look as Tokyo "as it is". We so often glamourize Japan, and Tokyo in particular, as either glossy and high tech or structured and traditional, but, as with any place, there are layers. Slowly flip through Gallo's images and peel back the layers of Tokyo - good, bad, beautiful, deteriorating.
Thank you so much for sharing this! Otherwise I probably never would have found these touching and honest pictures of Tokyo. Love your blog!

From someone currently in a season of waiting – this was beautiful. Thank you!
Love this! So encouraging – thank you so much!
Wow this was exactly on time. One night an idea dropped in my spirit during a dream I was crying out to him in a state of lost and searching for my way. In the dream I prayed and petitioned God about my purpose and wanting to seek it by all means. The the idea of a "30 day faith journey" with God became real. God wanted me to let go and let him be in control. trusting in the lord and have faith so big because I knew God was undefeated. In the dream I saw myself in this journey and I had to be intertwine with God talking to him. Seeking without fail. An keep the faith no matter how it looked. The dream ended with my life being transformed in and incredible way all because I said YES lord I'll trust you YES lord I believe, YES LORD my faith is in you. When I woke up I couldn't stop crying and I said GOD if this is your will for me I want to go on this faith journey with you. But I felt I wasn't ready at the time. Even today I still haven't petitioned the lord about the journey but it tugs at my spirit so often. An I feel in my heart. The question I hear is " Why won't you YIELD Jessica?" I feel it strongly. An reading this just spoke to me again an in my head I'm like what are you waiting on? An God is like "When I appoints I also empower. So take my hand". I am honestly a bit nervous I'm not save enough. An all I hear in my head is "didn't I save you and your from an 8yr abusive relationship that was near to death on 3 occasions, didn't I deliver you from drugs, haven't I showed you I'm faithful and I love you Jessica what else must I do? God has been waiting on me to take this journey so it can lead me to my purpose and I feel that so strongly in ever bone in me. I'm going to do this faith journey because I know it real and it will transform my mind on another level that I've been wanting to go. Just knownGod meets you exactly where you are in all our mess. God will get your attention with some kind of an awaking when he wants you and there's no if and's or buts about rather or not it was God. When he shows up its undeniable. Thanks for allowing God to speak the word through you. I'm going to take that leap of faith and please know if your dreams and ambitions don't make your nervous or scare you then they may not be big enough. God bless.

Q: isKindOfClass returning NO unexpectedly One of my unit tests is failing and for a reason I didn't anticipate. It seems a call to isKindOfClass is returning NO, but when I debug and step through, there seems to be no reason it would.
The code is:
if ([self.detailItem isKindOfClass:[MovieInfo class]]) {
    [self configureViewForMovie];
}

I stepped through the code and did:
po self.detailItem

which displays:
(id) $1 = 0x0ea8f390 <MovieInfo: 0xea8f390>

So, what am I missing, why would the if statement return false in this case?
EDIT:
Here is the setter for the DetailItem:
- (void)setDetailItem:(id)newDetailItem
{
    if (_detailItem != newDetailItem) {
        NSLog(@"%@", [newDetailItem class]);
        _detailItem = newDetailItem;

        // Update the view.
        [self configureView];
    }

    if (self.masterPopoverController != nil) {
        [self.masterPopoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
    }
}

It's template code from a Master Detail template.
The unit test creates a MovieInfo in setUp:
movie = [[MovieInfo alloc] initWithMovieName:@"Movie" movieID:1];

and sets it in the test
controller.detailItem = movie;

Additionally, I added a parameter assertion in setDetailItem:
NSParameterAssert([newDetailItem isKindOfClass:[MovieInfo class]] || [newDetailItem isKindOfClass:[PersonInfo class]] || newDetailItem == nil);

This assertion is failing as well.
I've put two log statements above the assertion call:
NSLog(@"%@", [newDetailItem class]);
NSLog(@"%@", newDetailItem);

which display:
2012-08-28 08:31:37.574 Popcorn[8006:c07] MovieInfo
2012-08-28 08:31:38.253 Popcorn[8006:c07] <MovieInfo: 0x6daac50>

ONE MORE EDIT:
I added the isKindOfClass check before setting it in the unit test, that one passes.
if ([movie isKindOfClass:[MovieInfo class]]) {
    NSLog(@"Yep"); //This passes and prints out
}
controller.detailItem = movie; //calls into the setter and fails.

A: I would suspect a race condition, or a different between Debug and Release configurations. These will lead to differences between the debugger and regular runtime.
First, make sure that self.detailItem isn't nil. That's the most common cause of this kind of issue. Then try debugging this with logging rather than the debugger. If you really do have race conditions, then you may also consider logging with printf() rather than NSLog(). printf() is a much less performance-impacting way to do multi-threaded logging.

A: I had this same issue in a library that I am writing. Funnily enough, it worked fine on my iOS test target, but failed on the Mac test target (interesting!).
I believe the issue is related to a mismatch in the class declarations. The library is using the .h declaration but the unit tests were looking at the internal declarations.
It's easier to explain with an example:
/*
 * ClassA.h
 */
@interface ClassA () : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, strong, readonly) NSString *someValue1;
@property (nonatomic, strong, readonly) NSString *someValue2;
@property (nonatomic, strong, readonly) NSString *someValue3;

@end

Adding to the property list in the .m
/*
 * ClassA.m
 */
@interface ClassA () : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, strong, readwrite) NSString *someValue2;
@property (nonatomic, strong, readwrite) NSDate *date;
@property (nonatomic, strong, readwrite) NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter;

@end

@implementation
// implementation
@end

Now, since the unit test targets had the compile sources set to include ClassA.m, the isKindOfClass: would return no, but po command and NSStringFromClass([ClassA class]) when run in the debugger would return values that you expect.
I know this is an old post, but I hope this is useful and saves someone a lot of time. Took me almost an hour trying to figure this issue out!

A: This was due to the fact that the class under test "DetailViewController" was not in the test's target. I would have expected this to manifest itself in a different way (linker error or something), but apparently, it just causes odd behavior. Adding DetailViewController to the test target fixed the issues.

A: Same situation is happening to me.
I ended up doing the comparison as follow:
[self.detailItem class]  == [ETTWallpaper class]

Since
[[self.detailItem class] isKindOfClass:[ETTWallpaper class]]

Was not working, and always returned NO, despite being sure that it had to return YES

A: MarkPowell's answer does help absolutely, if you want to always add all of your source files to all of your test targets.
However, if you have your Application as target dependency of your test target (if you are having only the test source files in your test target, not the project source files), then you have the same problem I had: One of your classes should be in the App target and NOT the test target (in my case it was a test helper class!)

A: As mentioned by @stefreak, in the standard unit testing configuration, the object under test should not be included in the unit test target. In this situation, if you do include the object under test in the test target the following type of message gets written to the log when building:
Class foo is implemented in both <.app path> and <.xctest path>. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

As mentioned here you shouldn't include the object under test in both targets. Having the object in only one target will stop the unexpected behavior with isKindOfClass:.
Also, a co-worker of mine found that you need to ensure that unit tests are turned off for "Run" builds. Under the scheme for the application, select "Build", then look at the unit test target, "Run" should be deselected.
If you're developing in Swift, then you should have a @testable import MyModule at the top of your unit test file.

A: Can self.detailItem ever be nil? The result of -isKindOfClass: would be NO in that case.

A: I think there currently is a bug in Xcode 7.0. I have the same issue, and checked all CUTs are included in the test target, but I have one that in code returns NO to -[isKindOfClass:], but in the debugger returns YES. And this is happening in simulators and physical  devices.
I ended up checking -[respondsToSelector:] to check my class' signature. Not perfect, but allows me to plow through.

A: I have the same problem when running unit test with CocoaPods 1.0
(where SomeClass is inside a Pod library)
I got the following warning message:
Class SomeClass is implemented in both </path/to/myapp> and </path/to/myapptest>. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

My solution is to update the Podfile to:
target "MyApp" do
  pod 'xxx'
  pod 'yyy'

  target "MyApp-Tests" do
      inherit! :search_paths
  end
end

References:
https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/4626

A: Found a solution in this link :

My SomeEntity class was included in the test target.  Building the test target also includes the main application as a dependency, which also includes SomeEntity.  That apparently makes Xcode believe there are 2 different types.
Remove SomeEntity from the test target and everything passes!

Adoptive cellular therapy using chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) therapy is currently being evaluated in patients with relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma (MM). The majority of CAR-T cell programs now being tested in clinical trials are targeting B-cell maturation antigen. Several recent phase I / II trials show promising preliminary results in patients with MM progressing on proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs and monoclonal antibodies targeting CD38. CAR-T cell therapy is a potentially life-threatening strategy that can only be administered in experienced centers. For the moment, CAR-T cell therapy for MM is still experimental, but once this strategy has been approved in relapsed/refractory MM, it will become one of the most important indications for this therapy in Europe and world-wide. This manuscript proposes practical considerations for the use of CAR-T cell therapy in MM, and discusses several important issues for its future development.
In recent years, the development of immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of cancer, including hematologic malignancies and multiple myeloma (MM).1 Therapeutic agents which induce the autologous immune cells to mediate tumor cell killing and to overcome the immunosuppressive mechanisms of the tumor microenvironment may improve clinical outcome. In this setting, adoptive cellular therapy using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T), a redirection strategy of T cells with the goal of increasing the frequency of tumor-directed and functionally active T cells targeting specifically expressed antigens on myeloma cells, is currently being evaluated in patients with MM.2
CAR-T cell therapy has already been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of relapsed / refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in pediatric and young adult patients, and for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). At the time of writing (2019), it is under evaluation for the treatment of relapsed / refractory MM (RRMM) in phase I / II trials3 and phase III trials sponsored by different pharmaceutical companies have just started in these patients. Therefore, CAR-T cell therapy will not have been approved for the treatment of MM by the end of 2019.
B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA, also named TNFRSF17 or CD269) belongs to the family of tumor necrosis factors. It was initially identified on the cell surface of the normal and malignant plasma cells and B lymphocytes.4 BCMA is also expressed on myeloma cell lines.5 Considering the strong and fairly homogeneous expression of the BCMA receptor on malignant plasma cells and its important mechanism of action, BCMA represent an ideal therapeutic target for CAR-T cell therapy.6 Indeed, the majority of CAR-T cell programs currently being tested in clinical trials are targeting BCMA. Other targets on MM cells are under early preclinical development. The first 'in human' clinical trial of CAR-T cells targeting BCMA that showed anti-myeloma activity was published in 2016.7 Several recent phase I / II trials show promising preliminary results in MM patients progressing on proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs (IMiD) and monoclonal antibodies targeting CD38.98 In this situation of unmet medical need, high response rates and minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity are achieved, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) in responding patients is >15 months.985 Nevertheless, no plateau has been observed on PFS curves, indicating the low probability for cure, at least in these heavily pretreated patients. CAR-T cell therapy is a potentially life-threatening strategy that that can only be administered in experienced centers. The major toxicity in MM patients is the cytokine release syndrome (CRS) that may require short hospitalization in intensive care units.1065 Neurotoxicity seems far less frequent and severe when compared to CAR-T cell therapy for B-ALL and DLBCL.1065 Overall, fewer than 100 patients with RRMM treated with CAR-T cells targeting BCMA have been reported. These patients were highly selected, had refractory disease at the time of entry into clinical trials, while still having good clinical status, and were able to remain without any therapeutic intervention for 4-5 weeks during the manufacturing process of CART cells.
CAR-T cell therapy is by far one of the most expensive therapies for hematologic malignancies.
Practical considerations
Once CAR-T cell therapy is approved in RRMM, it will become one of the most important indications for this strategy in Europe and world-wide.
For the moment, CAR-T cell therapy for MM is still experimental.87 Clinical programs need to be developed under the scientific guidance of the disease experts and cooperative groups in selected centers.
The results of large company-sponsored phase II trials using CAR-T cells infused at the optimal dose are expected at the end of 2019. Several phase III trials have just started (2019), testing CAR-T cells either in very advanced patients or earlier in the course of the disease, especially in high-risk patients. Very few academic trials using CAR-T cell therapy are currently ongoing. The CAR-T cell therapy is different from allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT).65 There is no scientific reason to support the experience on allo-SCT as the only prerequisite for the identification / selection of centers accredited for CAR-T cell therapy. Toxicity of CAR-T cells is different from that of allo-SCT: the use of a protected environment is not needed, graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is by definition absent. Given this, one of the most common links between allo-SCT and the CAR-T programs is the apheresis process that will require pertinent accreditations and/or certifications. Experience in hematopoietic transplantation (allo and/or auto) is very important, and expertise in cell therapy manipulation is critical. CAR-T therapy should be performed by a team of experts in MM and in cellular therapy, which curently includes experts in the specific disease and in autologous and/or allogeneic transplantation, in close collaboration with, among others, intensive care specialists and neurologists, together with a well trained nursing team.
CAR-T cell therapy for MM will potentially become a highly-specialized medication, associated with very high costs. Indications for the use of CAR-T therapy should be clearly defined by experts in MM, if possible through international guidelines. A European consensus, defined by co-operative groups, national societies of hematology, the European Myeloma Network (EMN) and the European Hematology Association (EHA) should be proposed to national and European authorities.
The creation of a list of centers of excellence in each European country, certified for CAR-T cell therapy and other advanced immunotherapies, based on disease area and expertise is of the utmost importance. This list may be drawn up by national societies and national health authorities, in the overarching framework of the main European societies, including the specific myeloma groups in each country as well as the European Myeloma Network and EHA.
A specific European registry for the follow up of patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy including treatment indications, response data, previous and subsequent lines of therapy and treatments, safety and long-term follow up (e.g. to monitor for insertion mutagenesis after genetic modification of T cells) must be compiled. As all data from patients treated with CAR-T cells will be registered on the database of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), it will be mandatory to build a working group combining myeloma experts and national co-operative groups to ensure the accuracy of the data submitted. The presence of disease experts in this group is key to generate scientific knowledge and to propose new studies. This registry should also collect data from other types of innovative and expensive immunotherapies in order to compare their safety and efficacy.
Important issues in the near future
CAR-T cell therapy is still an experimental therapy, mainly developed by pharmaceutical companies. Academic research programs are urgently needed to improve efficacy and safety, either working with biotech companies or big pharma or independently. A particular focus should be to improve persistence of CAR-T cells, avoid antigen loss and reduce CRS/neurotoxicity.1110 This is nothing new in myeloma, a disease in which the close collaboration between the pharmaceutical companies and the European co-operative group has led to an improvement in outcomes.
The definition of the optimal use of CAR-T cells, including very precise indications and approval, requires the guidance of myeloma experts. For example, when is a patient to be considered a candidate for CAR-T cell therapy? What is the optimal bridging therapy? Does this also depend on renal function? What are the alternative treatment options? Such questions clearly indicate that the development of guidelines is mandatory, especially in the current complex therapeutic landscape of this disease.
It is crucial that priorities be clearly defined. Academic programs must be developed in order to: (i) reduce the high cost of CAR-T cells proposed by pharmaceutical companies; (ii) increase academic knowledge on CAR-T cell therapy; (iii) propose new collaborations with pharmaceutical companies; and (iv) design EU clinical trials based on the combination of CAR-T with current or new anti-myeloma strategies.
Educational programs for the use of CAR-T cells should be developed through the different European societies, such as the EMN, ESH, EHA, international societies like the International Myeloma Society (IMS), and the national societies or co-operative groups.
The definition of consensus guidelines and educational programs for autologous CAR-T cell therapy could be expanded to other immunotherapeutic approaches, such as bispecific antibodies, conjugates, NK-cell therapy or allo-CAR-T. Hopefully, in the near future, several strategies targeting BCMA and other plasma cell antigens will become available for the treatment of myeloma patients. The right time for each myeloma patient to use a CART or a bispecific antibody or antibody drug conjugate should be defined by clinical experts, and this will require in-depth knowledge of the disease. Educational programs under the guidance of myeloma experts will not only help improve the outcome of our patients, but also contribute to a more efficient use of the resources available.

Documentary on the contribution of actor John Cazale to the cinema. He was primarily a stage actor and had won an Obie award when Fred Roos saw him on stage in New York. He knew instantly that he had found the actor to play Freddy Corleone in The Godfather (1972) which he was casting for director Francis Ford Coppola. His performance in that film (and all others, for that matter) is roundly praised by several fellow actors as his his follow-up performance in The Godfather: Part II (1974). His other films included Dog Day Afternoon (1975), The Conversation (1974) and The Deer Hunter (1978). These films represent the sum total of his on-screen contribution and in the view of those who worked with him, his subtle but effective approach to his roles forced them to be better in theirs. In total, these 5 films earned earned 40 Academy Award nominations, though he never received one. He died as a result of bone cancer at the age of 42.

Nelly Arrested for Assaulting a Woman
Ronald Silva October 8, 2017 8:45 pm October 8, 2017 0 4097
Famous rapper Nelly has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman. Of course, the star denied the allegations. The Auburn Police Department took Nelly into custody following the woman's allegations that she was sexually assaulted by the star on his tour bus in Washington. The police confirmed the arrest in an official statement.
"At 3:48 AM a female called 911 to report that she was sexually assaulted by a male, who is known as the rapper 'Nelly,'" the statement said. It has been claimed that the assault happened on Nelly's tour bus that was parked at the White River Amphitheater, where Nelly held a performance. Allegedly, the assault happened after the concert.
"After Patrol Officers investigated the incident, at 4:37 AM Nelly was taken into custody and booked at the SCORE jail facility," the police stated. "Auburn Police are continuing to investigate this incident. The above details are all we have to release at this time," the statement added.
Of course, Nelly denied the whole story and his representative said that it was "a completely fabricated allegation." The rep also said that the rapper was confident he will not be charged with these allegations. "Our initial investigation , clearly establishes , this allegation is devoid of credibility and is motivated by greed and vindictiveness. I am confident , once this scurrilous accusation is thoroughly investigated , there will be no charges. Nelly is prepared to address and pursue all legal avenues to redress any damage caused by this clearly false allegation," the rep said.
This is not the first time when Nelly has been taken into custody. He was previously arrested on several drug charges. He later pled guilty to misdemeanor possession of marijuana and drugs, and received one year probation. Nelly is now on tour and the star is set to perform in Washington. It is unclear for now if the performance will be held as scheduled or not. Nelly made no comments on this subject. It is yet to see if the allegations are true or false as Nelly's rep revealed.

North West lost lines
Ingleton branch
14 photos of remnants of the Ingleton branch, which ran from Low Gill, south of Tebay, through Ingleton to Clapham (North Yorkshire!).
Low Gill Viaduct, 21 June 2010 2. The viaduct used to carry the LNWR's 1861 branch from Low Gill to Ingleton, where it met a line from Clapham opened 12 years earlier by the 'other' North Western Rly. but closed in 1850. The 'little' North Western subsequently became part of of the Midland Rly, deadly rival of the LNWR. The Midland reopened the line to Ingleton in 1861 to meet the new LNWR branch in hopes of establishing through services to Carlisle and Scotland. The LNWR would have none of it, and eventually the Midland was driven to build its own line - the Settle & Carlisle. Opened in 1876, the S & C reduced the Ingleton route to branch line status, although it occasionally carried diverted traffic, notably in 1947 when the S & C was blocked by snow for several weeks. Regular passenger services finished in 1954, but school specials at the beginning and end of term continued into the 1960s. Goods services finished in 1965, and the line was lifted in 1967.

The LiftMaster Wall Mount Garage Door Opener mounts on the wall beside the garage door, freeing up ceiling space, and is available with an optional power standby system that continues working even when the power goes out.
I called Canadian Garage Door professionals during an emergency. I had to reach my office back at 7 PM due to some urgent work and couldn't get my car out of garage. The manual override was also jammed due to years of neglect. These guys reached within 20 minutes of distress call and solved the matter within 15 minutes. I reached office just in the nick of time. They saved my day. Thanks Guys. You people are awesome!
My garage door was 12 years old. It was certainly time to replace it due to its excess noise. I chose Canadian Garage Doors for their great online reviews. And it was a great choice indeed. These guys offer awesome prices along with great products and courteous attitude. Kudos to CGD for excellent installation job.

(Future) Bulls Abroad: Honduras beats Panama, 2-0, in 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship Classification Stage
An important win for Honduras' hopes of making the U-20 World Cup and the final of the CONCACAF Championship.

The 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship has reached its short and sweet Classification Stage. There are six teams left, four of them will qualify for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup, and two of those qualifiers will play for the title of CONCACAF U-20 Champion.
The six teams are divided into two groups of three. The three teams in each group play each other once; the top two make the World Cup; the group winner makes the final: every game counts now.
The USA lost its opening game of the group stage to Panama, but has bounced back so well it should now be considered the favorite to win the Championship - because the CONCACAF U-20 Championship is invariably won by Mexico, and the USA beat Mexico in the opening game of its Classification Stage group.
In the other group, Honduras and Panama opened proceedings - and Los Catrachos laid down their own marker with a 2-0 win over the team that beat the USA in the group stage. Inside the first two games of the Classification Stage, the two unbeaten teams to emerge from the Group Stage - Mexico and Panama - were beaten.
This is an up-and-down tournament - which may be taken as a sign of competitive parity among the top teams - and there may be further surprises up to and including the final. But Honduras and the USA can lay claim to having found momentum at just the right time: the final is on March 5.
Honduras' Douglas Martinez is expected to join New York Red Bulls II after this tournament. He can be credited with an assist on his team's opening goal against Panama - but really the 6th minute strike was almost entirely the work of scorer Darixon Vuelto. Jorge Alvarez followed with another long-ranger in the 81st minute.
Honduras' second and last game of the Classification Stage is against host Costa Rica on March 1.

Safety, learning choices important to reopening campuses, university system chief says
Byron Dobson
Tallahassee Democrat
By offering a combination of in-person and remote learning, students will have options, as the state focuses on academics and safety with the reopening of campuses this fall.
That was the message from Marshall Criser III, chancellor of the State University System, to the Board of Governors Thursday.
Zenani Johnson, who graduated from the University of West Florida this spring and remains a BOG member until June 1, asked Criser if students would have the option of returning to campus or continuing with remote learning.
"The expectation is (that) students will want to return," Criser said in the online meeting. "We are hoping we can tailor our academic delivery to meet the students where the students want to be met. We want to have that versatility."
In response to Johnson's follow up on whether returning students can expect a full compliment of on-campus services, such as dining halls, board chairman Syd Kitson said that will be up to individual campus presidents.
Board members present unanimously approved a set of guidelines presented by Criser and derived from a university system task force that serves as a blueprint for presidents to incorporate in their plans for reopening.

The presidents will submit their campus-specific proposals to Criser by June 12, followed up with a presentation to the Board of Governors on June 23, during an in-person meeting at the University of Central Florida.
"The blueprint (approval) is the first stage and we will meet in June to look at the specific plans for each university," Kitson said, in response to Johnson and board members.
Criser's blueprint emphasizes the fact that collaboration and accepting personal responsibly for health and safety measures is critical to each campus, as well not losing ground in academic offerings and continued student success.
It includes plans for a "healthy campus," COVID-19 testing, contact tracing and surveillance and "academic program delivery."
Florida's 12 public universities will be expected to have a plan in place for testing, alternative housing for students requiring isolation and remote instruction as they get ready to reopen this fall.
"I think it's an excellent blueprint, but I really like the emphasis on the personal responsibility," board member Charles Lydecker said in the meeting. "I don't think this works unless all members of the State University System take full responsibility."
More:Universities must plan for COVID-19 testing, online teaching for fall, state officials say
Criser said it's important to understand reopening campuses will involve as many as 420,000 students and 74,000 faculty and staff.
"Seventy-two percent of students will go to a university in a different county from their primary residence," Criser said. "We are going to be moving students from one health environment to another health environment."

We propose a new numerical method for the computer simulation of the semi-linear transport equation. Based on the stochastic characteristic method and the Local Linearization technique, we construct an effi cient and stable method for integrating this equation. For this, a suitable exponential-based approximation to the solution of an associated auxiliary random inte-gral equation, together with a Pad é method with scaling and squaring strategy are conveniently combined. Results on the convergence and stability of the suggested method and details on its e fficient implementation are discussed.

At Notre Dame, Theismann became the starting quarterback as a sophomore, after Terry Hanratty was injured late in the season. In the three remaining games in the regular season, he led the Irish to two wins and a tie. In 1969, Theismann led the Irish to a number five ranking, but lost to the University of Texas in the 1970 Cotton Bowl Classic, 21–17. The next year, the Irish had a 10–1 record, a number two ranking, and won against Texas in the 1971 Cotton Bowl Classic, 24–11. That year, Theismann was an All-American and an Academic All-American, and was in contention for the Heisman Trophy. Theismann, whose last name was actually pronounced "Theesman", recounted in 2007 that it was Notre Dame publicity man Roger Valdiserri who insisted that he change the pronunciation of his name to rhyme with "Heisman", but he finished second to Jim Plunkett of Stanford University. Theismann set school records for passing yards in a season (2,429) and touchdowns in a season (16). He also set a school record for passing yards in a game (526) and completions in a game (33) while playing against the University of Southern California in a torrential downpour in 1970, which they lost 38–28. As a starting quarterback, Theismann compiled a 20–3–2 record while throwing for 4,411 yards and 31 touchdowns. His 4,411 passing yards rank fifth on Notre Dame's career passing list. Theismann was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003. He was the eighth Notre Dame quarterback enshrined into the hall, joining former Heisman Trophy winners Angelo Bertelli, John Lujack, and Paul Hornung.


SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) - With the city's homeless population shrinking, according to numbers recently released from the mayor's office, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is vowing to do more.
As the number of individual homeless who have found housing complete with social services has increased, the mayor now plans to concentrate on getting families and seniors off the street.
He cited an emphasis on providing permanent supportive housing as the major reason for San Francisco going from "once being identified as having the most pervasive homeless problem in the country to being a role model."
"Soup kitchens solve hunger, shelters solve sleep, permanent supportive housing solves homelessness, and it is a solution that is working," Newsom said. "Permanent supportive housing is the cornerstone of our strategy to end homelessness in San Francisco."
According to the mayor's numbers, 1,798 units of housing have been added in the city since 2004, making the total number of units 3,182. Within the next few years, over 1,000 more units are slated for construction.
The mayor also announced Thursday that 87 percent of those who were receiving cash welfare payments in 2004 are no longer claiming the benefits.
This year, Newsom said he has allocated $3 million to assist families on the verge of eviction and that he will develop 138 new units of housing especially for chronically homeless families.
On top of placing those who are down on their luck in housing, the city has also succeeded in reuniting 1,788 individuals with friends and family across the country at an average cost of $147 per client.
The programs are all part of the mayor's 10 year plan that began in 2004 with the appointment of former supervisor Angela Alioto to spearhead a campaign to get the city's chronic homeless off the streets and off welfare payments.
According to Newsom, his "care not cash" system is way ahead of schedule.

FGA Condemns Biden's Unlawful Attempt to Federalize Elections Through Executive Order
Naples, FL- Earlier this week, the White House issued a statement regarding the new steps federal agencies will take in accordance with Biden Executive Order 14019.
That order commanded the head of every federal agency to submit to Susan Rice, the president's Domestic Policy Advisor, a plan outlining their strategy to register voters and encourage their participation. There are currently more than 600 agencies, ranging from the Department of Defense to the Environmental Protection Agency.
The order also called for the agencies to develop a strategy to invite and support non-government groups to help register voters and provide them with absentee ballot applications from federal agency buildings located in states across the nation. The order did not explain who would approve the groups allowed to engage in these activities, nor what the criteria for approval would be, and failed to define what kind of support the groups would be provided by the federal government.
According to the official statement, "more than a dozen agencies across the federal government are announcing [this week] steps they are taking to respond to the President's call for an all-of-government action to promote voting access…"
FGA condemns this effort by the current administration to circumvent the legislative process in an attempt to federalize elections through executive order.
"This Executive Order has nothing to do with promoting access for voters, and everything to do with power, that is, keeping President Biden and his political party in power," stated Stewart Whitson, Legal Affairs Fellow at the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA). "This is a blatant misuse of taxpayer resources and a clear signal to his base that even if the attempt to federalize elections through congressional action fails, as it will, the current administration has a backup strategy to impose these rules on the states regardless. These rules are designed to undermine commonsense election integrity laws passed by duly elected state legislators across the nation and replace those reforms with laws that would benefit the president and his party. State attorneys general across the nation should ready themselves to defend their states from the federal overreach that is headed their way."

The loss of a notable tenant at ESR-REIT's Viva Business Park has put a spotlight on the "live, work, and play" concept, and its ability to attract enduring footfall into the industrial property's retail components.
Viva Business Park, which occupies 750-750E on Chai Chee Road, underwent a SGD20 million (USD14.6 million) asset enhancement initiative (AEI) in 2015 to transform the industrial property into a lifestyle destination incorporating retailers, restaurants, and service providers.
The property's AEI was initiated by Viva Industrial Trust, which merged with ESR-REIT in October 2018.

Download (2133Kb) | Preview
In May 2010 the British Conservative Party returned to power. Propped up by the Liberal Democrats as junior coalition partner, the new government has since then embarked on a radical programme of budgetary cuts, ringing in an age of fiscal austerity. Who are today's Conservatives? What exactly are they doing? How stable is the coalition? And what does this mean for Britain's role in the European Union?

Q: Django middleware and getting the view name? I'm trying to write my first middleware in Django.
class RefreshBalance:

    def process_view(self, request, view_func, view_args, view_kwargs):
        pass

I want to detect if a view is called and refresh a balance. I can see the 'view' argument but don't know how to I use it? For example:
if view == "login.dashboard:
   pass

How can I find out what view is being called?

A: From the middleware documentation:

process_view(self, request, view_func, view_args,
  view_kwargs) request is an HttpRequest object. view_func is the Python
  function that Django is about to use. (It's the actual function
  object, not the name of the function as a string.)

So you need to do something like:
from login import dashboard

if view_func.__name__ == dashboard.__name__:
    pass

A: To answer the question:

I can see the 'view' argument but don't know how to I use it?

Then you are not using the power and beauty of python.
try this this:
breakpoint()
if view == "login.dashboard:
   pass

This will pause execution, and allow you to interact with python, at that point in code.
Once it pauses execution, the first I do is type list<ENTER> to list the code around where it stopped, just to orientate oneself.
Wish to see what type of object view is? Type type(view), and now you know!
Want to know what methods and attributes it has, dir(view), and now you know. Or pp dir(view) to pretty print it.
Oh it has a foo_very_interesting_method, try:
solong = view.foo_very_interesting_method
help(solong)

If you lucky it will print some helpful info.
Want to see the value of view.bar_attribute, type view.bar_attrbiute, and its printed for you.
When done playing type c to continue, q to quit, n to goto the next line, or s to step.
And theres a whole lot more if you research python debugger.
Enjoy being able to figure out what is going on!


P and I visited last weekend and word has got around! We'd luckily booked during the lunchtime slot and you couldn't get a table without a reservation – I saw at least 5 groups being turned away. The restaurant is pretty; very light and airy with lots of cherry blossom trees. It has a bit of a Tattu vibe but a lot more chilled. After being shown to our seats our waitress explained the system. You're given an iPad that you directly order off (even glasses of tap water) and dishes get brought out to you as they're ready – you can't order more than 10 plates at a time and you have two hours.
The menu is pretty overwhelming, there's about 60 dishes along with more if you do it during the evening seating. We decided to go section by section to avoid spending ages poring over the menu so started with some appetisers; King Prawn Tempura, Yakitori, Grilled Aubergine, Gyoza, Beef Bao and Chicken Bao.
The prawn tempura and gyoza were delicious and both came with really tasty dipping sauces. The aubergine was soft and topped with a teryaki sauce – a good veggie dish to cut through all the meat and carbs. The yakitori were okay – the chicken was cooked well and not at all dry but I couldn't taste much sauce. The bao were probably my least favourite of the appetisers – although tasty the buns were a bit stodgy and filling a bit sparse.
Next we moved onto sushi; Inari Nigiri, Tamago Nigiri, Seaweed Salad, Avocado Maki, Katsu Chicken Roll and Spicy Tuna Crispy Roll. The nigiri were the best (inari is my absolute favourite) and the flavour of the other sushi was good but the rice a bit on the overdone side – P used to make sushi for a living so has very strong views on how it should be! The seaweed salad was a great accompaniment to add a bit of refreshment to the meal.
After a little rester we went back to the sushi; Seabass Nigiri, Salmon Nigiri, Tuna Nigiri, Red Dragon Roll and a Salmon & Avocado Handroll. The rice in this lot was much better – all the fish was really good quality and the Dragon Roll was probably my favourite of the meal; prawn tempura with avocado and cucumber topped with salmon.
At about this point we still had 45 mins till our 2 hours were up but were on the edge of disgustingly full. The service was surprisingly speedy (I'd presumed they'd pace your dishes a lot more to avoid people taking the piss and ordering loads but they don't) and it's super tempting to keep ordering with the iPad sat on your table but alas the expanding sushi rice got the better of our stomachs.
At only £18 for a lunchtime seating it's definitely good value; sure there were a few niggles like the rice not quite being 100% for some of the sushi (though looking at the reviews of Blue Sakura I think we might have just got an unlucky batch). The sushi isn't on par with somewhere like Hana Matsuri…but it's a fun kinda place to visit with tasty, good value food – so I can definitely see why they're having to turn people away!
